Yoga Really *Can* Tone Your Body (Especially If You Do These 6 Poses)

Unless you have actually been living under a rock for the past 5,000 years, you've found out about the several advantages of yoga exercise. A regular yoga exercise technique can erase muscle pains, lead to a far better evening of sleep, offer you a sunnier disposition, as well as boost your mental focus-- as well as that's just the start.

But while the mental as well as psychological advantages of yoga exercise are well-known (and clinically reputable), there's a great deal of back-and-forth over whether pretzeling your legs into pigeon posture counts as stamina work. Yoga's robust health resume typically isn't enough for a lot of strength junkies to ditch their CrossFit, boxing, or HIIT routines for some sun salutations.

But when you take a fast scroll through Instagram, you'll see that a lot of yogis aren't simply flexible-- they're also toned. Like, seriously toned. It begs the inquiry: Can yoga exercise really form a toned body?

Back up-- just what does 'tone' mean?

' Toning' is an expression made use of explain the fortifying and advancement of certain muscle mass teams-- typically your upper legs, arms, or reduced abdominal areas. It's basically a diminished term for 'toughness training.'

But much like lifting weights alone won't put you in figure competition shape, not one single activity will certainly 'tone' your body into that of a svelte prima ballerina. In order for those strengthened muscles to radiate through, you also require to lower overall body fat, which suggests getting your heart pumping on the regular. Cardio (which utilizes fat for power) is crucial, and consuming well is obligatory because-- sorry 'bout it-- you can not out-exercise a bad diet.

' Whatever your physical objectives are, you need a well balanced diet plan if the objective is to be active and healthy overall,' says Alex Silver-Fagan, ACE certified Mirror trainer as well as yoga instructor. Inevitably, to obtain a 'toned' body, the job needs to happen in the kitchen and the gym.

So can yoga exercise count as strength training?

According to Adam Perlman, M.D., an integrative health and wellness and health specialist at Fight it out University, yes.

' There's no doubt about it-- yoga will certainly enhance your muscle mass,' Perlman claims. 'It simply might not be the fastest route to a more powerful physique. Numerous styles of yoga can be efficient for building muscular tissue, and relocating even more energetically via postures causes more calories as well as fat shed, which indicates extra exposure of those muscular tissues.'

Note that when Perlman says 'various designs,' he's not discussing the relaxing, candlelit Yin yoga class that you consistently go to sleep-- I indicate meditate-- during. By all methods, those classes are amazing. They're intended to motivate release and also healing, and also structure muscular tissue requires emphasizing them out.

' All kinds of yoga provide the special chance of marrying your breath to your physical movement as well as are a fantastic means to tune in to your entire body. Extra vibrant, intense yoga exercise is finest for structure toughness-- and also in turn, toning muscle,' states Ceasar Barajas, designer and also instructor of The Journey: NEO U. 'The greater the strength and also the longer the positions are held, the more they will inevitably tone.'

It turns out researchers are wondering the very same thing.

Research in The Journals of Gerontology showed that a normal yoga method was equally as efficient as stretching-strengthening workouts in boosting useful physical fitness in grownups over the age of 60.

A 2nd study published in the Asian Journal of Sports Medicine had 80 individuals do sun salutations six days a week for 24 weeks. At the end of the experiment, these freshly minted-yogis' rep max bench press and also shoulder press revealed a significant increase.

One (super-small) research study performed by the College of Wisconsin-La Crosse asked 15 based on practice yoga exercise for 55 mins three days a week for eight weeks. At the end, researchers discovered an enhancement in their subjects' strength as well as endurance.

So what are the most effective yoga exercise poses for toning?

There are a load! 'Many yoga exercise poses tone various muscular tissue teams in the body by calling for the yogi to sustain their body weight,' Perlman says.

With that in mind, we asked yoga exercise specialists to share their favorite presents for muscle development as well as conditioning. The best component? Absolutely absolutely no of them were positions we would certainly never ever listened to of previously. Think about the below your cheat sheet for understanding muscle-making yoga exercise moves.

1. Bridge Pose Setu Bandha Sarvangasana

' Do this pose to enhance the muscular tissues in your upper legs and your glutes,' Perlman says.

Start resting on your back, arms at your sides, with your hands dealing with down. Bend your knees, keeping them hips-width apart. Try to get your heels as near to your butt as you can (you must have the ability to touch them with your fingers). As you exhale, push your heels into the flooring to lift your reduced back off the flooring. For a larger backbend, you can vibrate your shoulders with each other as well as intertwine your fingers behind your back. Hold the posture for a number of breaths and reduced your body down. Repeat at the very least 3 times.

2. Plank Pose Phalakasana

' The kidnappers, obliques, glutes, and also shoulders will obtain stronger thanks to the fixed nature of this present. When done continually-- a minimum of two times a week-- this position can aid create a lean as well as solid midsection,' says Barrie Risman, yoga exercise teacher and co-director of the World Spine Care Yoga Project.

Start on all fours with your fingers spread somewhat. Tip one foot back and afterwards the various other. Your shoulders must be piled over your wrists while your heels press toward the back of the space. Tuck your tailbone so your butt isn't holding up in the air and also expand the area in between your shoulder blades to ensure that your upper body isn't sinking. Squeeze your quads and also glutes and also breathe. Hold for anywhere from 30 secs to 3 minutes (go you!). Repeat 3-5 times, relaxing as needed between sets.

3. Four-Limbed Staff Pose Chaturanga Dandasana

' Chaturanga is a transitional posture, but it's not one to be rushed with!' claims Jane Kivnik, an instructor at Y7 Workshop in Brooklyn. 'If performed appropriately, chaturanga reinforces not just the arms, triceps muscles, and shoulders, however additionally the stomach wall surface. It's difficult, so it requires our focus as well as kind-- if the mind wanders off, it's a chance to return to the existing and re-engage.'

Start in slab position. As you inhale, run onto your tiptoes so your shoulders take a trip somewhat past your fingertips. Pressing your joints and also biceps in towards your sides, lower halfway down in one straight line and also breathe out. Feel like you're doing a half-push-up? Excellent! Involve your reduced abs to keep your butt in line with the remainder of your body and extend your neck by keeping your gaze ahead as well as down. Chaturanga is an intense posture-- if you feel your reduced back drooping, play it safe and practice this one by boiling down onto your knees and taking the half push-up from there.

4. Chair Pose Utkatasana

' Chair position is the best quads heater. It's not just the quadricep muscle mass that will really feel the melt but your gluteal muscle mass,' claims Jill Drowne, a learning specialist at Southwest University of Naturopathic Medicine and also Medical Center.

Start in hill present (tadasana) by standing with your feet somewhat apart or your huge toes together as well as a small room in between your heels. Ground down uniformly through your feet, raise up through the crown of your head, and extend via all 4 sides of your waist. Increase your arms and also reach up through your fingertips while launching your shoulder blades down your back. Sit down as if resting right into a chair (therefore the name), changing the weight towards your heels. Preserve the length in your torso while holding the position for 5-8 breaths.

5. Crescent Lunge Anjaneyasana

' This is a vibrant, full-body posture that produces functional versatility, core stamina, and security and also toning for the legs, butt, and upper body,' claims Bethany Lyons, owner as well as CEO of Lyons Den Power Yoga.

To develop a lunge placement, tip your right foot out in front of you with a 90-degree bend in the front knee as well as the front upper leg bone parallel to the floor. Pile the back heel over the ball-mound of the back foot. Drop the tailbone down toward the flooring by involving your lower stomach muscles. Brush up the arms expenses, shoulder-width range with the palms facing one another. Let your pinky fingers spiral slightly internal. Engage your legs by pressing your back heel behind you and your front knee ahead, paying certain focus to lift the quadriceps muscular tissues of the back leg. Hold for 10 deep breaths.

6. Side Plank Pose Vasisthasana

' This is another full-body, dynamic position that produces a great deal of warm as it compels the muscle mass to collaborate to produce the alignment and strength needed to hold the present. It delivers toning for the arms, back, shoulders, core, and also legs,' Lyons says.

From a high push-up placement, bring the internal edges of the feet to touch and after that spin your heels to the right ahead onto the right-side edge of the foot. Maintain the legs glued with each other as one as well as the feet fully flexed. Press down into the right-hand man and also sweep the left hand all the way approximately the skies, taking your look with you. The shoulders, hips, and feet need to all be piled for security and power. Involve the core muscle mass and also open the chest. Paying certain interest to not allow the hips sink down toward the flooring, take 5 breaths and then transition through high plank position to the other side. Repeat 2-3 times, taking a remainder between each set.

Ready to get down (dog)?

Yoga definitely can count as strength training as well as can be used to tone your muscular tissues. Bear in mind that there's so a lot even more to yoga than toughness, as well as even if you're exercising every single day, it's far better to integrate yoga into your program than to ditch everything else altogether.

And if you're a beginner, make certain you're discovering the poses safely. 'For the majority of, the best as well as most reliable means is to take courses with a trained as well as qualified trainer who can not just provide support on the most effective presents to target different areas of the body, however can additionally help readjust positions so they are risk-free and also ideal for each and every individual,' Pearlman says.

Status of Edible Fishes of Lower Gangetic Delta In Terms of Heavy Metalss

Authored by Abhijit Mitra

Abstract

We analyzed concentrations of zinc, copper, lead and cadmium in ten commercially valuable finfish and shellfish species in the lower stretch of the River Ganga in April, 2016 using a Perkin-Elmer Sciex ELAN 5000 ICP mass spectrometer and expressed as mg kg-1 dry weight.In finfish species the concentrations of Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd ranged from 2.05±0.13 - 111.55±1.38, 1.26±0.11 - 53.15±0.60, BDL - 3.05±0.21 and BDL - 1.32±0.11 respectively. Concentrations in shrimp species ranged as follows: Zn: 1.19±0.06 - 141.21±1.50, Cu: 1.02±0.05 - 92.40±0.93, Pb: BDL - 2.01±0.17 and Cd: BDL in all the sampling stations. In crab the concentrations ranged from 11.65±0.10 - 213.66±1.60 for Zn, 6.18±0.11 - 109.23±1.00 for Cu, BDL - 9.99±0.79 for Pb and BDL - 1.48±0.07 for Cd. Metals in the soft body mass of oyster ranged from 21.44±0.28 - 202.78±1.49 for Zn, 8.66±0.09 - 69.14±0.79 for Cu, BDL - 8.02±0.26 for Pb and BDL for Cd. The concentration of metals was significantly affected by the sampling site and fish species. Heavy metals in the edible parts of the investigated fish species were compared with the permissible safety levels for human uses.

Introduction

Pollution of environment represents a major problem in both developed and underdeveloped countries. Among the different categories of pollutants persistent environmental contaminants are the worst in context to human health. Emissions of harmful substances have negative effects on the natural environment and human health [1]. When the consequences of environmental pollution become visible, it is often too late to prevent and chronic toxic effects, impossible to notice at the initial stage of the process, may manifest themselves after many years [2]. That is the main reason why it is imperative to conduct periodic pollution monitoring of aquatic environments. Heavy metals are stable and persistent environmental contaminants of aquatic environments. They occur in the environment both as a result of natural processes and as pollutants from human activities [3,4]. Some metals like Zn and Cu, which are required for metabolic activity in organisms, lie in the narrow "window" between their essentiality and toxicity. Other heavy metals like Cd and Pb, may exhibit extreme toxicity even at low levels under certain conditions, thus necessitating regular monitoring of sensitive aquatic environments [5-7]. From an environmental point of view, coastal zones can be considered as the geographic space of interaction between terrestrial and marine ecosystems that is of great importance for the survival of a large variety of plants, animals and marine species [8]. The coastal zone receives a large amount of metal pollution from agricultural and industrial activity [9]. Adverse anthropogenic effects on the coastal environment include eutrophication, heavy metals, organic and microbial pollution and oil spills [10]. The discharge of these wastes without adequate treatment often contaminate the estuarine and coastal water with conservative pollutants (like heavy metals), many of which accumulate in the tissues of resident organisms like fishes, oysters, crabs, shrimps, seaweeds etc. In many parts of the world, especially in coastal areas and on smaller islands, shellfish is a major part of food, which sulies all essential elements required for life processes in a balanced manner [11]. The shellfish (particularly the shrimp) is also the major exportable item of countries like India and therefore keenly related to economy of the country. Hence, it is important to investigate the levels of heavy metals in these organisms to assess whether the concentration is within the permissible level and will not pose any hazard to the consumers [12].

In Indian sub-continent the mighty River Ganga (~ 2500 km) is the reservoir of a wide spectrum of fishes distributed in different ecological habitats. The lower stretch of the River Ganga (known as Hooghly estuary) sustains about 256 species of finfish and is the breeding ground of several commercially important shellfish like shrimps, crabs and oysters (Penaeus s., Scylla serrata, Saccostrea sp., Crassostrea sp. Etc.). The River Ganga emerges from a glacier at Gangotri, about 7010 m above mean sea level in the Himalayas and flows down to the Bay of Bengal covering a distance of 2525 km. In this length, Ganga passes along 29 class-I cities (population over 1,00,000), 23 class-II cities (population between 50,000-1,00,000) and 48 towns having less than 50,000 population. About 50% of Indian population lives in the Ganga basin, and there are about 100 urban settlements with a total population of about 120 million on its banks [13]. The delta of Ganga may be said to start from Farakka in the maritime state of West Bengal.

The Gangetic delta, at the apex of Bay of Bengal is recognized as one of the most diversified and productive ecosystems of the Tropics. The deltaic lobe is unique for its wilderness, mangrove gene pool and tiger habitat. However due to intense industrial activities in the upstream zone, and several anthropogenic factors, the western part of the deltaic complex is exposed to pollution from domestic sewage and industrial effluents leading to serious impacts on biota [14]. The presence of Haldia port- cum-industrial complex in the downstream region of the River Ganga (also known as the Hooghly River) has accelerated the pollution problem with a much greater dimension [15]. The organic and inorganic wastes released from these industries and urban units contain substantial concentrations of heavy metals. The central part of the delta (encompassing the surroundings of Matla River) is relatively less stressful in terms of industrial discharge. Due to siltation of the Bidyadhari channel the area does not receive any water suly from the Hooghly River in the western sector and is therefore tide-fed in nature receiving the tidal flux from the Bay of Bengal (average salinity = ~32 psu). The present paper aims to highlight the concentration of selective heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd) in the muscle tissue of five common finfish species namely Polynemusparadiseus, Tenualosa ilisha, Liza parsia, Liza tade and Stolephorus commersonii, two commonly edible shrimp species Penaeus monodon and Penaeus indicus, crab species Scylla serrata and soft body parts of two oyster species Saccostrea cucullata and Crassostrea madrasensis collected from four stations distributed in two sectors (western and central Indian Sundarbans) of the lower Gangetic region.

Materials and Methods

Description of the study site

Two sampling sites were selected each in the western and central sectors of Indian Sundarbans, a Gangetic delta at the apex of the Bay of Bengal. The deltaic complex has an area of 9630 sq. Km and houses 102 islands. The western sector of the deltaic lobe receives the snowmelt water of mighty Himalayan glaciers after being regulated through several barrages on the way. The central sector on the other hand, is fully deprived from such suly due to heavy siltation and clogging of the Bidyadhari channel since the late 15th century [16]. The western sector also receives wastes and effluents of complex nature from multifarious industries concentrated mainly in the upstream zone. On this background four sampling stations (two each in western and central sectors) were selected (Table 1) and (Figure 1) to analyze the concentrations of heavy metals in the common edible finfish and shellfish species inhabiting the zone.

Sampling of Specimen

Five commonly edible finfish species (Polynemus paradiseus, Tenualosa ilisha, Liza parsia, Liza tade and Stolephorus commersonii), two shrimp species (Penaeus monodon and Penaeus indicus), crab species (Scylla serrata) and two oyster species (Saccostrea cucullata and Crassostrea madrasensis) were collected during low tide condition from the selected stations (Table 1) during a rapid EIA study from 10th April to 25th April, 2016. The collected samples were stored in a container, preserved in crushed ice, and brought to the laboratory for further analysis. Similar sized specimens of each species were sorted out for analyzing the metal level in the muscle of finfish, shrimps, crabs and soft body parts of oyster.

Analysis

a) Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is now - a - day accepted as a fast, reliable means of multi-elemental analysis for a wide variety of sample types [17]. A Perkin-Elmer Sciex ELAN 5000 ICP mass spectrometer was used for the present analysis. A standard torch for this instrument was used with an outer argon gas flow rate of 15 L/min and an intermediate gas flow of 0.9 L/min. The alied power was 1.0 kW. The ion settings were standard settings recommended, when a conventional nebulizer/spray is used with a liquid sample uptake rate of 1.0 mL/min. A Moulinex Super Crousty microwave oven of 2450 MHz frequency magnetron and 1100 Watt maximum power Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) reactor of 115 ml volume, 1 cm wall thickness with hermetic screw caps, were used for the digestion of the collected biological samples. All reagents used were of high purity available and of analytical reagent grade. High purity water was obtained with a Barnstead Nanopure II water-purification system. All glass wares were soaked in 10% (v/v) nitric acid for 24 h and washed with deionized water prior to use.

The analyses were carried out on composite samples of 10 specimens of each species having uniform size. This is a measure to reduce possible variations in metal concentrations due to size and age. 20 mg composite sample from each species of finfish and shellfish were weighed and successively treated with 4 ml aqua regia, 1.5 mL HF and 3 ml H2O2 in a hermetically sealed PIFE reactor, inside a microwave oven, at power levels between 330-550 Watt, for 12 min to obtain a clear solution. The use of microwave-assisted digestion aears to be very relevant for sample dissolution, especially because it is very fast [18-20].

After digestion, 4 ml H2BO3 was added and kept in a hot water bath for 10 min, diluted with distilled water to make up the volume to 50 ml. Taking distilled water in place of biological samples and following all the treatment steps described above the blank process was prepared. The final volume was made up to 50 ml. Finally, the samples and process blank solutions were analyzed by ICP-MS. All analyses were done in triplicate and the results were expressed with standard deviation.

The accuracy and precision of our results were checked by analyzing standard reference material (SRM, Dorm 2). The results indicated good agreement between the certified and the analytical values (Table 2).

b) Statistical analysis

A logarithmic transformation was done on the data to improve normality. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to assess whether heavy metal concentrations varied significantly between sites and species; possibilities less than 0.01 (p < 0.01) were considered statistically significant. All statistical calculations were performed with SPSS 9.0 for Windows.

Results and Discussion

Heavy Metals in Finfish

The species-wise variation was not uniform for all the metals. Zn accumulated as per the order Liza parsia > Liza tade > Tenualosa ilisha > Polynemus paradiseus > Stolephorus commersonii (Figure 2). Cu accumulated as per the order Liza parsia > Tenualosa ilisha > Polynemus paradiseus > Liza tade > Stolephorus commersonii (Figure 3). Pb accumulated as per the order Liza parsia > Tenualosa ilisha > Polynemus paradiseus > Liza tade > Stolephorus commersonii (Figure 4). In case of Cd the order was Liza parsia > Tenualosa ilisha > Liza tade (Figure 5) [21] pointed out that the affiance of metal uptake from contaminated water and food may differ in relation to ecological needs, metabolism, and the contamination gradients of water, food and sediment, as well as other factors, such a salinity, temperature and interacting agents.

The selected finfish species in the present study have different food preference and different behavioral pattern e.g., Liza parsia, Liza tade, Polynemus paradiseus, and Stolephorus commersonii are resident fish species in the study area, while Tenualosa ilisha exhibit migration from coastal region (~ salinity = 20-30 psu) to freshwater system in the upstream zone of the River Ganga for breeding. These factors may be attributed to species-wise variation of heavy metals in the study zone.

The spatial variation of bioaccumulation followed the order station 1 > station 2 > station 3 > station 4, which may be related to different degree of contamination in different location. The Zn concentration in all the finfish species (except Liza parsia in station 1) were found to be lower than the recommended maximum level allowed in food as prescribed by the World Health Organization [22]. Furthermore the selected heavy metals in finfish muscle (except Zn in Liza parsia in station 1) were also within the permissible limits for human consumption as indicated by the Food and Agricultural Organization [23]. In case of Cu, the concentration in Polynemus paradiseus (in station 1), Tenualosa ilisha (in stations 1 and 2), Liza parsia (in stations 1 and 2) were higher than the WHO (1989) limit, but the Cu concentration in all the fish samples were within the FAO (1992) limit. Pb concentration in Polynemus paradiseus, Tenualosa ilisha and Liza parsia in station 1 and Liza parsia in station 2 exceeded the WHO (1989) limit, but they were all within the limit of FAO (1992). Cd concentration in Tenualosa ilisha, Liza parsia and Liza tade in station 1 exceeded the WHO (1989) limit, but remained within the 0.05 - 5.5 m range of FAO (1992) for Cd in fish.

Heavy metals in shrimp

Zn being an essential element for normal growth and metabolism of animals, exhibited highest accumulation in the shrimp muscle when compared with the other three metals. According to the results obtained, the zinc levels in the shrimps from station 1 (Nayachar Island) facing the Haldia port-cum- industrial complex were highest, which were higher than the permissible level, i.e., 400 m in crustacean tissue [24].

These levels also exceeded the recommended maximum level of Zn allowed in food by World Health Organization which is 100 m [22]. The concentrations of Zn in shrimps from other three stations were much below the permissible limit for human consumption (Figure 6). We observed significant variations of Zn in shrimp muscle between the stations and also between the shrimp species (p < 0.01).

Levels of Coer in shrimps from the selected stations (except for station 1) ranged from 1.02±0.05 to 17.02±0.31 ng/g, far below the normal permissible range, i.e., 120 m as recommended for the crustacean tissue (Franklin, 1987). In case of station 1 the value ranged from 70.88±0.89 to 92.40±0.93 ng/g (Figure 7). These values are higher than the recommended value of Cu in food, which is 30 m as prescribed by WHO (1989).

High concentration of Pb was observed in shrimp muscle from station 1 (1.38±0.10 in Penaeus monodon and 2.01±0.17 in Penaeus indicus). Station 2 is within the navigational route of the ships and tankers in the Hooghly channel through which the wastes of the upstream region find way to Bay of Bengal. Hence shrimps sampled from this station exhibited considerable concentrations of Pb in the muscle. Stations 3 (Gosaba) and 4 (Satjelia island) are in the central sector of Gangetic delta, almost without any industrial activities which may be attributed to low concentrations of lead in the shrimp samples collected from these areas (Figure 8).

We also observed significant statistical differences in Pb concentrations in shrimp muscle between the stations and also between the selected shrimp species (p < 0.01). Except for station 1, levels of lead in shrimp muscle from three locations were below the permissible level which is 4.0 μg/g for crustacean tissue [24]. When compared with the recommended value of WHO (1989) in context to consumption of shrimp as food (2 m for Pb), the concentrations in Penaeus indicus in station 1 was above this level (Figure 4). All the shrimp species of stations 1 and 2 exhibited higher value than recommended by FAO (1992). Concentration of Cd was below detectable level (BDL) in shrimp tissue in all the sampling stations (Figure 9).

Heavy metals in crab

In Scylla serrata heavy metals accumulated as per the order Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd. The metal level in this group of crustacean is influenced by moulting as the process is known to play a major role in metal mobilization. Hence in the present study we considered marketable sized crab (aroximately 120 gm in weight) to avoid the interference of the ecdysis process. The concentrations of Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd in the muscle ranged from 11.65±0.10 - 213.66±1.60 for Zn, 6.18±0.11 - 109.23±1.00 for Cu, BDL - 9.99±0.79 for Pb and BDL - 1.48±0.07 for Cd respectively. These values are much higher (except stations 3 and 4) in most cases than the recommended levels of WHO (1989) for heavy metals in food (Figure 6-9). Reports on metal concentration in crabs under natural conditions for coastal waters of India are limited [25-27] and the present data therefore can serve as a baseline figure for the species particularly in the Gangetic delta region.

Heavy metals in oyster

The trace metal in soft mass of oyster results from the net balance between the process of metal uptake and metal loss [28]. The distribution of trace metals followed the order Zn > Cu > Pb> Cd. Oyster species could not be collected from station 1 because of their absence due to low aquatic salinity (~ 6.50 psu). The low salinity of station 1 due to freshwater discharge from the Farakka barrage has made the habitat unsuitable for the survival of oysters (that normally require salinity between 10 - 32 psu).

In the present study area oyster is not consumed as food by the local inhabitant, but considering its wide use as seafood in other parts of the world the soft body tissue was examined for Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd whose values ranged from 21.44±0.28 - 202.78±1.49 mg kg-1, 8.66±0.09 - 69.14±0.79 mg kg-1, BDL - 8.02±0.26 mg kg-1 and BDL respectively. The concentrations of Zn, Cu and Pb in oysters of station 2 exceeded the permissible limits of WHO (1989).

Spatial variation of heavy metals in finfish and shellfish

Heavy metal contamination of the environment has been occurring for centuries, but its extent has increased markedly in the last fifty years due to technological developments and increased consumer use of materials containing these metals. Pollution by heavy metals is a serious problem due to their toxicity and ability to accumulate in the biota [29]. There is still a general concern about the impact of metals in the aquatic environment [30]. Heavy metals have contaminated the aquatic environment in the present century due to intense industrialization and urbanization. The Gangetic delta is no exception to this usual trend. The rapid industrialization and urbanization of the city of Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta), Howrah and the newly emerging Haldia complex in the maritime state of West Bengal has caused considerable ecological imbalance in the adjacent coastal zone [31]. The Hooghly estuary, situated on the western sector of the Gangetic delta receives drainage from these adjacent cities, which have sewage outlets into the estuarine system. The chain of factories and industries situated on the western bank of the Hooghly estuary is a major cause behind the gradual transformation of this beautiful ecotone into stinking cesspools of the megapolis [31]. The lower part of the estuary has multifarious industries such as paper, textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastic, shellac, food, leather, jute, tyres and cycle rims [32]. In addition to industrial discharges, proliferation of tourism units has also contaminated the environment to a great extent particularly around Digha (station 2).

These units are point sources of heavy metals in the estuarine and coastal waters. Due to toxic nature of certain heavy metals, these chemical constituents interfere with the ecology of a particular environment and on entering into the food chain they cause potential health hazards, mainly to human beings. It was reported by several workers that the discharge of heavy metals into the sea through rivers and streams results in the accumulation of pollutants in the marine environment especially within shrimps [33]. Thus shellfish and shellfish products can be used for monitoring potential risk to humans because these are directly consumed by a large population [34]. Bioaccumulation patterns of metals in shellfish muscle can be utilized as effective indicators of environmental metal contamination [35,36]. According to many researchers, some shellfishes by virtue of their mobile nature are not fair indicator of aquatic contamination, but their regular consumption by human beings makes it absolutely necessary to monitor their different organs, particularly the muscles. The present study is therefore important not only from the safety point of view of human health, but also from the quality point of view as many of these shellfish species have high export value.

Of the four metals studied in the present work, Zn and Cu are essential elements while Pb and Cd are non-essential elements for most of the living organisms. The concentrations of zinc and coer in all the finfish and shellfish species were relatively higher, compared to the concentration of other metals in same samples. It can be explained because these metals (Cu and Zn) are essential elements required by animals for metabolic process. Zinc and coer aear to diffuse passively (probably as a soluble complex) the gradients created by adsorption of membrane surfaces and are found in blood proteins metallothioneins [37] concluded that different tissues of aquatic animals provide and/or synthesize non-exchangeable binding sites resulting in different accumulation levels.

The primary sources of Zn in the present geographical locale are the galvanization units, paint manufacturing units and pharmaceutical processes, which are mainly concentrated in the Haldia industrial sector (Station 1). Reports of high concentrations of Zn were also highlighted in the same environment by earlier workers [14,15,31].

The main sources of Cu in the coastal waters are antifouling paints [38], particular type of algaecides used in different aquaculture farms, paint manufacturing units, pipe line corrosion and oil sludges (32 to 120 m). Ship bottom paint has been found to produce very high concentration of Cu is sea water and sediment in harbours of Great Britain and southern California [39,40]. In the present study area, the major source of Cu is the antifouling paints used for conditioning fishing vessels and trawlers apart from industrial discharges (that is predominant around station 1). Station 2 (Digha) is not only the site for tourism and beach recreational activities, but it is also a major fish landing station in northeast coast of India, where large number of fishing vessels and trawlers contaminate the water with Cu. This is the reason why Cu was detected in considerable quantity in the fish muscle of station 2. Traces of Cu in the samples of stations 3 and 4 (which is totally an industry- free zone) may also be related to use of antifouling paints to keep the fishing vessels and passenger boats free from biofoulers.

Pb is a toxic heavy metal, which finds its way in coastal waters through the discharge of industrial waste waters, such as from painting, dyeing, battery manufacturing units and oil refineries etc. Antifouling paints used to prevent growth of marine organisms at the bottom of the boats and trawlers also contain lead as an important component. These paints are designed to constantly leach toxic metals into the water to kill organisms that may attach to bottom of the boats, which ultimately is transported to the sediment and aquatic compartments. Lead also enters the oceans and coastal waters both from terrestrial sources and atmosphere and the atmospheric input of lead aerosols can be substantial. Station 1 is exposed to all these activities being proximal to the highly urbanized city of Kolkata, Howrah and the newly emerging Haldia port - cum - industrial complex, which may be attributed to high Pb concentrations in the finfish, shrimp and crab muscle. Because of the low salinity of station 1 (~6.5 psu during the study period) oyster could not be found in this zone.

The main sources of Cd in the present geographical locale are electroplating, manufacturing of Cd alloys, production of Ni- Cd batteries and wielding. No trace of Cd was recorded in the shrimp muscle from stations 3 and 4, which are located almost in industry-free zone surrounded by mangrove vegetation. The accumulation of Cd in the soft body parts of oyster is a cause of concern as many Government departments and NGOs have initiated pilot scale oyster culture in the lower Gangetic region as means of alternative livelihood [41].

Conclusion

Sea foods are a cheap and the most accessible source of animal protein for the coastal inhabitants. However, there is a growing amount of evidence that seafood could be potentially harmful to human health as these are contaminated from heavy metals. In the Gangetic delta region of the tropics few studies have been carried out to assess the magnitude of contamination in commercially important finfish and shellfish species. This study revealed that the commercially important marine organisms in the lower Gangetic delta, at the apex of Bay of Bengal have been contaminated by heavy metals to a greater degree and exceeds the recommended safety levels for consumption at station 1 in the western sector owing to intense industrialization. Antifouling paints used for conditioning vessels and trawlers are also the major sources of heavy metals in the system that is ultimately deposited in the organisms. Strict regulation for the usage of heavy metals and frequent monitoring and controlling programmes are needed to check heavy metal contamination of marine organisms in the area that may potentially cause greater threats to human and ecological health [42].

LifeDrawing Portfolio

Piece 1: Movement Studies with a rotating pose (20 mins each)

I am very much a beginner to life drawing and this is my first time putting together a portfolio of work that I am somewhat proud of. For this piece I was given a pose and chose to focus on the form of the model rather than the detail in their muscle structure. I chose to draw box forms in hope of understanding proportions and perspective better since those are some of the places I struggle in when drawing the human form. I made a few mistakes that could be fixed up on the future of in a future piece but this was a good stepping stone into understanding the human form as well as the shadows light can create around it, the model had one source of light that didn’t change like he did. Focusing on that light helped me to understand how light works, therefor helping me with my light studies for future characters I create/ draw.

Piece 2: light and shadow study with cloth background (20 min pose)

This piece is a single source light pose where we had to study the effects of a bright light bouncing of a dark, cloth background and onto the model. This pose really helped me with from and perspective when drawing models, the definition that the light created was a big feature to when it came to studying how the human form was built. I started this by drawing the models basic pose in a stick figure then started developing on the muscles structure, after getting the form down I moved onto the lighting and worked my way up, starting with the lighter shades and then moving on to the darkened tones as I saw fit. This process helped simplify the process of shading the body.

Piece 3: Light and dark study with cloth and prop clothing (20/25 min pose’s)

This was my first attempt with drawing draped clothes in class, we were given a base wizard costume and use the single source light. I was lucky with this piece since I had a nice perspective where the model had already created a triangle composition for me, I started with his base pose, a stick figure sitting on a chain and then started to add the layering of cloths where it was overlapping the skin of the model. I made sure I knew were all the important parts of the model where beforehand so that I didn’t lose the position of the hands and feet as most of the arms and legs are covered by the drapery. Once the form of the model was drawn I focused on the shading, again starting with the light tones and slowly darkening what I thought was necessary, looking back at this piece I think I could have pushed the darker tones further and got a better result.

Piece 4: Shading and anatomy study (30 min pose)

I was given a standard pose where the model posed, wielding an axe and cape. For this piece I was given the option to do whatever study I wanted, I chose to start with a quick focus on the hand and try to get the dramatic lighting with the fingers. Something that I commonly told to me is that a lot of people struggle with drawing hands so I made sure to draw them when I can in hopes of improving my hand drawings, after the hand I chose to study the form of the model and really get the shadows in that the cape and the lighting created on the model. I started with getting the angles of the boxes right and then started to build his form using a basic structure pose that I had quickly drawn underneath. After I was happy with the box forms the lighting came quite easily, most being focused on one or two of each boxes faces, this study really helped me with understanding how to act around certain feature of the model being either behind or in front of another.

Piece 5: prop poses with perspective (15 min each)

Before this piece I had only worked with a base model where he would only pose with his own body. This pose, using a stepping latter was good practice to draw with a unique perspective, being lower than the model for once rather that his posing at eye level. My work process for this was stating with a base pose for both the model and framework of the ladder, I then worked in box forms to make sure that I found the right angles for things such as the chest and the pelvis, after getting those down I moved onto getting the body into a box form pose and with the extra time I started to work in some of the finer details in the models pose. I had a little bit of difficulty when started this as it was the first time that our model has worn shoes and I had gotten so use to him being bare foot that it tripped me up a little bit even though I wasn’t adding details in the feet.

Piece 6: back to back gesture drawings (18 poses, 1 min each)

These quick poses were to help me understand form and movement and expand my range of dramatic poses for future characters. For these poses we given 3 sets of poses, the first being poses where the model used his body to create dramatic forms, the second being combat poses using a sword and the third being tribal/ hunting poses. This wide range of poses helped me understand the balance of a character and make sure that when I am creating a pose for the character that I make sure that it actually works and would make sense. Doing these poses within the limited amount of time really pushed me on how fast I could push out content as I started with not being able to keep up with the timer and how after a good amount of practice can pretty much get the form down for every pose.

Piece 7: gesture pose with movement study (1 min each)

For this piece we were given a base pose and each minute the model slowly shifted into the next pose, we had to try draw each form with the subtle movements to simulate animation a character, the model started on the ground and made only short dramatic movements so that we could see the change in the form and understand how the body would situate itself when doing these actions. When doing this study, I struggled with keeping perspective as when the model would move I would start he drawing again and didn’t have the time to make sure that each pose was the same size, I thing this really lowered the quality of the piece but I think it is still worth showing the understanding behind the movement of the model.

Piece 8: gesture pose with dramatic posing (1 min each)

This study was a more intense study on forms with relations to different characters or scenes, each pose we had to identify what the pose looks like and link it to a scenario that we thought I t would suit. This study really helped with understanding from in the context of a character as it is really important to add a sense of personality to the character when you are deciding the different poses that that character would be in, depending on the situation. When finishing each piece, I followed the same process, starting from the ground plane and moving my way up, after finishing each pose I went back and did a study on the curves of each pose, to try understand what makes the pose a dramatic one and the importance of the influence on the forms of the character. Doing this study really helped me understand how someone can tell how a character feels just by identifying their body language.

Piece 9: light and shadow with upper body anatomy (30 min pose)

This was a long pose I was given where I had the option to study the models pose as a whole or go into a specific area and do an in-depth study on that, fortunate I had the additional time to somewhat do both. I first started with drawing the model in her whole form while resting on the couch, first getting the couch skeleton and the models form down and then moving on to the box and the proper proportions. Once I had given the basis to the character I made sure to give extra detail to things such as the hands and some of the chest area, I thought I needed more practice around the arm areas so I decided to give the character an additional set of arms so that I could explored the models form a bit more that juts the pose that was given. The second study that I did was on the models upper chest and heat area, where I moved to a different point in the class and started to draw her form the perspective where the couch blocked most of her form, I chose to do this because I noticed that I hadn’t really done any studies where the model wasn’t facing away from me, therefor having no practice on areas such as the upper back and neck area.

Piece 10: anatomy with a costume (20 min pose each)

Some of the areas that I notices I needed to work on more were the upper sides of the chest, lower half of the upper arm and the neck area so I made sure to study them, for this pose we had the model in a gladiator type costume that covered areas such as his shoulders and lower half. The first one I did was the under arm area where the character has his arm up holding a sword, ready for combat. I made use of this pose and got a good angle on the under arm areas where the light was showing off the back half of the muscle so that I could show the more dramatic extension of the muscle and use the light to show the dramatic form. The second piece was a pose where the model had pulled up a shield and used that the block most of the light coming from out single source, this really restricted the lighting and gave a good amount of detail around the neck area. I used this pose to take advantage of the lighting and focus on how the shadowing of the model effects the neck area specifically.

Treatment of Highly Concentrated Effluent Generated from Intermediate Chemical and Bulk Drug Industries Renovated with Tertiary Removal

Authored by Atun Roy Choudhury

Abstract

Effluent generated from the bulk drug industries is attributed with potential risk to the biotic and abiotic environment. The safe disposal of the same requires multiple stages of standard operation and stringent purification. In order to get rid of the ill impacts associated with the unscientific disposal of the bulk drug industry wastewater common effluent treatment plant (CETP) can be installed as a safe, inexpensive, and wholesome treatment unit. The present study, paid minute attention from the primary collection of the potentially hazardous wastewater to the reuse of the tertiary treated reverse osmosis (RO) process permeate. Initially, the collected effluent was stored in a bottom lined collection tank facilitate with a scrubber system and top enclosure to suppress the odour nuisance. Then effluent was immediately taken to the equalization tank and once homogenization got achieved the same was sent to the flocculation unit, where chemical coagulants were added with the effluent and forwarded to the primary clarifiers to remove the flocculants in the form of solid sludge.

Thereafter, the effluent was taken to the MEE feed tank and the bottom sludge was sent to the dewatering unit. The permeate was sent to the stripping column and the volatile organics were remove. In order to ensure optimal recovery the effluent of the stripper column was fed to the 5 stage multiple effect evaporator (MEE) system and successively followed by agitated thin film dryer (ATFD) set-up. Ultimately, the condensate was sent to the secondary treatment unit incorporated aeration facility and microbial digestion. The supernatant was conveyed to the secondary clarifier and successively to the tertiary treatment facility which comprises pressure sand filter, ultra filtration (UF), and RO. The end product was explicitly analysed to meet the prescribed standards and found to be feasible for reuse in the boiler. Both the primary and secondary sludge was safely discarded into the secured landfill. Thus, an absolute treatment system was delineated above which ensured optimal environmental safety

Keywords:CETP; COD; High TDS treatment; Pharmaceutical wastewater; Tertiary removal

Introduction

Two states located in the southern peninsula of Indian subcontinent namely, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are considered to be the medicinal drug capital of the country which yields approximately 42% of the annual gross pharmaceutical production. Recently, these two states acting as a pioneer in the above delineated sector and showed a promising potential by having a continuous reciprocation with the market demand, technology up gradation, and modernized synthesis mechanisms. Its steady emergence in the pharmaceutical field has given it an international acclamation and plethora of foreign reputed pharma companies started capitalizing their investment into it [1,2]. Though drugs are often treated as life saving elements and trusted partner in health care industry, the production of it is always attributed to generation of highly toxic and complex wastewater. This aspect found to be contradictory to the progress pathway of the industry and thus, seeks a separate attention. Due to the complexity of the generated effluent it requires extensive treatment to bring down to the disposal or reusable limits. A single system consisting of a singular purification approach can not satisfy the prescribe figures due to high TDS and COD values (i.e. often ranging 1,00,000 mg/l and 45,000 mg/l respectively) [3-6]. Therefore a wholesome treatment system comprising multidimensional treatment facility is of utmost importance in order to treat the bulk drug industry wastewater. Furthermore centralization of the entire facilities under a single platform ensures the minimal environmental intervention with minimization of the land requirement. Hence, common effluent treatment plant is the ultimate solution to optimize the treatment expenditure attributed to waste treatment [7-10]. The treatment with the help of CETP requires similarity of the generated effluent. This is a feasible solution for those small scale industries, clustered together who can’t afford to install a separate individual treatment units at their disposal. It prevents them from any additional burden and extends opportunity to focus on the desired output without posing much additional cost to the stack holders [11,12].

The CETP capable of treating pharmaceutical wastewater should comprise the units such as equalization unit, flocculation unit, biological treatment unit, high TDS treatment unit, and tertiary treatment unit [13-17]. The polished effluent can be further reused into the system as a boiler feed or also for greenbelt development. Each facility play a significant role in reduction of a certain parameter and the malfunction of any unit can successively upset the performance of the further units and thus, the plant operation is a delicate issue which needs to be performed under extreme supervision [18]. Despite all those facts execution of CETP can face significant protest from the nearby residents due to the obnoxious smell generation during the ATFD operation and powder precipitation. Therefore, keeping all the social constraints in mind successful operation of the CETP is a challenging task [19,20]. A study conducted by Popuri [21] reported an ultimate contaminant removal of 98% or above can be achieved by a complete CETP. But, contradictorily, a study carried by Salunke et al. [22] reported the inefficiency of such plants under certain circumstances. Thus, in limelight of the above delineated context the primary objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of the industrial CETP towards the treatment of the bulk drug industry wastewater and application of the same to minimize the environmental hazard.

Study Area

The entire research work was carried out within the premises of the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) designed and maintained by IL&FS Environment in Fab City. The plant is located in an isolated industrial estate and ensures minimal human and environmental interventions. The influence topography and the geological location optimized the safety with constant progress and changes. The approximate coordinates of the plant include, North West Corner (17°12’5.70”N, 78°30’18.54”E); North East (17°12’5.64”N, 78°30’24.08”E); South West (17°12’1.99”N, 78°30’17.87”E); South East (17°12’1.65”N, 78°30’23.85”E).

Materials and Methods

Collection of Effluent from Industries

Process effluent from the pharmaceutical industries is transported to the designed location by means of 10m3 capacity GPS mounted closed tankers. The collection chamber was constructed with a design capacity of 150m3 connected to scrubber for control of odour pollution Thus, the collection tank can withhold approx. 15 truck unloading on regular basis.

Equalization of the Influent

Uniformity of the influent is the prime objective for the efficient working and thus, in order to maintain the minimal variation in the characteristics of the influent equalization tank was introduced. The influent mass was withheld in equalization tank over a period of 20 to 30 min and the tank has a capacity of 400m3. The influent in the tank gets homogenized due to air purges located at the bottom of the tank.

Flocculation

Flocculation tank is the set-up which serves as the platform for mixing. It is attributed with an agitator and has a volume holding capacity of 50m3. The agitator has a maximum working speed of 98 RPM, but 60 RPM was generally used for field application. Polyelectrolyte was used as a chemical coagulant and its efficacy was analysed against total solid removal.

Primary Settling

Once the agitation begins, the wastewater was brought into complete rest to ensure optimal precipitation. Settling of the particles with higher specific gravity often ensured in the primary clarifier, which indirectly released the burden of the high TDS treatment units. The facility comprises one primary clarifier with a volumetric capacity of 150m3 and the effluent from the primary clarifier use to be directly sent to the MEE feed tank for further purification (Tables 1-3).

Sludge Dewatering

The process sludge generated from both the clarifiers found to be highly humid in nature and thus, a moisture removal operation was quite mandatory. Excessive moisture was removed in sludge dewatering unit and the slurry got converted into bulky solid mass. The same was discarded in the secure landfill and environmental safety was ensured.

Removal of Volatile Compounds

The supernatant effluent from the MEE feed tank was directly conveyed to the stripping column via pumping station for further removal of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Contaminated water flows downward by gravity action and the air was forced through it. Thereafter, the contaminated air was purified by passing it through a demister before releasing it to the open atmosphere.

Effluent Densification

The end product of stripper column was further sent to the MEE unit for densification and volume reduction. The installed MEE setup has 5 nos. of calandrias and works in a forward flow mode. The raw juice from stripper column was introduced to the first calandria from the bottom and brought in contact with steam. Heat exchange, gasification, and condensation were few of the operation that was performed simultaneously. The condensate from the facility was sent to the tertiary filtration units; whereas, the concentrate was forwarded to the agitated thin film dryer for further solidification.

Secondary Treatment

The condensate from the high TDS treatment system was conveyed to the biological treatment unit for further polishing and removal of the organic contaminants. This facility incorporates aeration and aerobic microbial digestion. An optimum air supply rate of can be achieved in this system which is subjected to the influent BOD concentrations. A mixed consortium of microbial culture was used in the system by mixing the cow dung into the HTDS condensate with a ratio of 10:90.

Secondary Settling

The effluent from the biological treatment unit was retained in the secondary clarifier over a period of 1 hr to remove the settable solids from the stream before sending it to the advanced treatment unit. Once, the retention time got completed supernatant was sent to the tertiary treatment unit whereas, bottom sludge was conveyed to the sludge dewatering facility and discarded in a similar fashion.

Tertiary Treatment

The semi-polished effluent from the physicochemical treatment unit was supplied to the tertiary unit as an influent. The same was initially introduced to the pressure sand filter and successively followed by Ultra Filtration (UF) and reverse osmosis process. The permeate of RO yielded a satisfactory quality of effluent fit for reuse/recycle in the plant and industries for utilities and RO rejects is again sent back to the MEE. The process flowchart of the plant operations has been portrayed in Figures 1-4.

works in progress

since i was tagged by a few people ( @chanyeolingss // @hoenytae // @sonnenfuchs // @park-chim-chiminie ) and my busy self haven’t gotten around to doing this yet, I’m combining all the tags into one giant wip post :3

there are a total of 6 fics in the works mentioned in this post, hopefully I’ll be able to get most of them done and up soon >///<

↠ in dreams | 02 (final) ↳ taehyung x reader, soulmate au, 50% done. first part here Taehyung could count three moments when he had felt immense fear in his life. The first time was when he was merely a child, waking up to find himself staring at an unfamiliar white ceiling surrounded by the constant beeping of a machine. He had scanned his surroundings, taking in a foreign room completely different to what he had fallen asleep in, and with only one look at some sort of needle sticking out of his arm, he had screamed as loud as he could, trying to get out of the place that seemed for like a prison than anything else. His screams had caught the attention of his parents, who instantly rushed into the room to calm him down. While the sight of his parents had managed to stop him from trying to escape the room, he was still afraid of the sudden change in environment. He swore he had fallen asleep in his own room the previous night, but why was he in this room – which he soon figured out to be a hospital room based on the nurses who rushed in behind his parents – instead? It was then that he first knew of the disease he carried within him – a vicious curse like no other.

↠ the space between us (tentative title) | three-shot ↳ yoongi x reader, gundam au (set in seed & seed destiny universe), 10% done If one asked Min Yoongi what he thought about the war, he would merely shrug and dismiss the question. There was a time when Yoongi offer a more passionate answer. He would claim that the war, although costing millions of lives, was bound to lead humanity towards a better place. Charles Darwin had proposed that nature operated by the principle ‘survival of the fittest’, so why should humans, another part of the system on which nature operates on, be any different? And what better way to enforce that rule than to put the entire population at risk, have them fight and struggle for their own lives at war? Perhaps such a view stemmed from the fact that he was born into a family line of Coordinators. His parents were both Coordinators – in fact they were part of the first generation of Coordinators born after the procedure was publicised, as well as one of the first few who had emigrated to the PLANTs. He grew up listening to stories his mother would whisper as he lay in bed, young eyes wide in attention as his mother spoke of how terribly Coordinators were treated in their very home planet. He remembered his young self lightly trembling as he clutched onto his mother’s hand, asking her questions in a manner only a young, innocent child could do. “But mommy, why do they hate us so much?” “Because, Yoongi,” his mother could only smile softly at her son’s question, memories of past battles and wars flashed before her eyes that reflected pain in them, “we, humans, get jealous. We want things that others don’t have, and Naturals are jealous of how much smarter, stronger, and faster we Coordinators are. That’s why they fight us, and we must fight back to save ourselves.”

↠ racing hearts | series ↳ ot7 x reader (friendship), racing au, 1% done lmao “This is Kim Sohee reporting live from Gangnam district, Seoul. A black Lamborghini had collided with a pick-up truck at an intersection in a terrible accident early this morning, resulting in a twenty-year-old man’s death. “Park Jimin, who was driving the racing car at the time, died at the site of the accident. He was known to be a member of the notorious racing group, BTS, who have been on the police radar for numerous speeding violations throughout the city of Seoul. However, none of the other members of the group could be found in the area. “The truck driver was brought to the nearby hospital to receive immediate medical attention. He was reported to be in satisfactory condition. No pedestrians were harmed during the event. “Eye witnesses claimed that the car was running down the streets at high speed, and ran straight into the truck. In the meantime, the police have sealed off the intersection and are currently investigating the matter in detail. “Officer Jung of the police investigation department had commented and I quote, ‘At this point in time, we can only say that this was an unfortunate accident.’ “This is reporter Kim Sohee signing off from SBS News.”

↠ untitled | oneshot ↳ taehyung x reader, psycho-pass au, 15% done. extra preview here “Y/f/n, reporting for duty as the new inspector of Unit One.” You were what society deemed as an ideal citizen – with a Crime Coefficient remaining on the lower ranges your entire life, not once did your Psycho-Pass’ colour Hue turned the slightest bit of cloudy. It might have been easy acceptance of societal views and your internal strive for peace, coupled with faith in the system that governed modern society, that had played a pivotal role in such a turn of events. The Sibyl System was introduced decades ago in an attempt to establish a stable society with as low of a crime rate as possible. The network of psychometric scanners continually scans each and every individual’s minds and mental states to determine their Psycho Pass, the likelihood of that individual to commit crimes, measured by the Crime Coefficient index. Once one’s Crime Coefficient exceeds an acceptable threshold, their Hue deviates from its ideal clarity to turn cloudy, and it was down to the officers of the Public Safety Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Division to hunt them down and, if necessary, put them to eternal slumber. After all, in a society with virtually no crime, those who pose a threat to the balance should and must be disposed of quickly. Thus, while people around you had looked down upon the career path you decided to take, claiming that your intelligence was ultimately wasted on a trash-hunting job, you firmly believed in your own path. While it was a hard feat to obtain scores as high as yours, none of the other high-scorers decided to enter the Public Safety Bureau, much less the Criminal Investigation Unit. Therefore, you took it upon yourself to do so in hopes of accomplishing things no one else could – all for the benefit of society. However, what you did not account for, was that you would have to deal with a flashback from the past – that you would need to deal with him.

↠ untitled | oneshot ↳ jungkook x reader, highschool au inspired by namida usagi, 5% done

During middle school, there are numerous events that can serve as a highlight in the otherwise boring life a student lives day after day. Sporting events, camping trips, vacations – they all impact one’s lives in various ways, whether to strengthen existing friendships, or to create new bonds. However, these highlights don’t necessarily need to be some grand event, for even the smallest thing in life can be utilised by fate to become a life-changing experience. For you, changing seats was such an event. As a shy introvert who preferred to keep to yourself, you found comfort in surrounding yourselves with friends you have known for the past few years. Although you tried to interact with your fellow classmates, you still found it awkward to do so on a daily basis, as you would often find yourself at a loss for proper words to keep a conversation going. Hence, you were dreading the day where the class would be assigned seats based on lottery, lamenting over the fact that you would have to undergo an awkward phase to get to know your new benchmate. What you did not expect, however, was that fate decided to pull some strings and your benchmate was decided to be Jeon Jungkook.

↠ untitled | oneshot ↳ jimin x reader, february 30 au, barely started rip February 30 was a date that never existed. However, for you, it has always been there.

Every year, on February 30, you would find yourself waking up in another realm which no one else knew about. When you first told your parents about it, they shrugged it off as mere childish imagination, but you knew that that was no dream. The world is very much real, much like the one you live in daily.

When you first found yourself in the realm when you were six years old, you feared the unfamiliar territory, unable to move from the rock you had woken up from, crying out for your parents. The second time you went there, you were seven and curious, following the beautiful flower path towards a magnificent sea view, and you wished that someone else would be there with you. The third time you went there, your wish for a companion was granted – that was when you first met Park Jimin.

aaaand that’s it for the stuff I’ll be revealing for now >//< there are other stuff that I’ve storyboarded but haven’t gotten to write yet, so maybe a next wip post? tell me which story you think I should work on first, and which one you are most excited about ehe ｡◕‿ ◕｡

since it’s been so long, I’ll be warping the rules and not tag any specific people, but if you want to do one please do go ahead ◕‿-｡

If you hate what you're doing, there's a good chance you'll quit doing it at some point. Before you do, ask on your own a couple of inquiries to discover out if there's another way to exercise:

Do my workouts fit my personality? - If you're a social exerciser and also battling to do your exercises at house, you may favor a fitness center where you could attract on power from other exercisers.

Have a prepare for every workout: What you're doing, for how long, how tough as well as the goal of the exercise. As an example: "I'm doing a 45-minute interval exercise on the treadmill to shed calories as well as deal with my endurance, complied with by a reduced body go for flexibility.

Do my exercises fit with my lifestyle? - If you frequently set up 5 or 6 days of training, but only show up for 3, you wind up in a cycle of frustration as well as failure. You may have to have even more training to reach your goals, but something is standing in your way:

Your fitness level - If you're simply starting out, your body might not prepare to take care of greater than a few days of exercise. Slowly include even more time (e.g., 5 minutes to every cardio workout) or strength (e.g., adding a collection of each strength workout after two weeks of training) to slowly function your means as much as even more frequent exercise.

Your schedule - Are you missing out on workouts because you're also active to work out? If you wish to reach your objectives yet aren't doing sufficient exercise to obtain there, you need to choose: Do you change your objective or do you change your routine? Or probably you make little changes in your schedule to suit even more workout, building on that particular as it obtains much easier. You don't have to change your schedule overnight, so begin tiny and method making workout a component of your life. The more you technique, the simpler it gets.

Your priorities - If exercise is a top priority while you're planning it, however not during the follow-through, it may not be as vital to you as you believe. If workout matters to you, you'll be much more determined to do it. If you keep scheduling and also skipping, ask yourself just what would certainly make it more of a top priority?

Discovering the worth in exercise, past weight-loss, can aid make it a priority.

Do I need new goals? - It could seem strange, but attempt changing your emphasis from weight management, which takes place gradually, to the real steps you should shed the weight.
