Do I Still Need a Resume if Im on LinkedIn
Do I Still Need a Resume if Im on LinkedInBelieve it or not I hear this question from job seekers and connections in my network at least once a week. I want to address the issue head ona resume and a LinkedIn profile are not interchangeable. One isnt designed to replace the other in a job search on the contrary, theyre meant to complement each other.A recruiter may find you on LinkedIn and then like what they seeand then request your resume. On the other hand, you may send an employer your resume for consideration, and the first thing theyre going to do is look up your LinkedIn profile to research you further. According to JobVites 2015 Recruiter Nation survey 87% of recruiters are using LinkedIn as part of their recruiting process.RESUMES ARE YOUR JOB SEARCH CURRENCYResumes are the currency of the job market. Ultimately, the resume is how candidates are screened and compared, and the document is used to decide whether to investigate a persons candidacy further. A resume should be ta ilored to a specific position, industry, and company culture. It should show youre a great fit and how you can specifically meet the needs of the organization and resolve their biggest pain points.LINKEDIN PROFILES ARE YOUR CAREER STORYYour LinkedIn profile is a wonderful opportunity to open the door to your career story. Its an opportunity that, as a job seeker, you NEED to capitalize on. 67%+ of job seekers are searching on Facebook but only 55% of recruiters are there as opposed to 87% on LinkedIn. Its a huge disconnect in the job market. Recruiters are going to look you up on LinkedIn if they like what they see on your resume and if youre using social media in your job search you want to be where the employers are searching. Employers want additional information and more insight into who you are and how you might be able to fit into their organization and meet the needs of the position theyre trying to fill.88% of recruiters in the JobVite survey reported culture fit was VERY im portant and LinkedIn is where theyre going to determine that fit. Your LinkedIn profile does not have to be as specifically targeted to a particular role, and it gives you much more space and word count to share about who you are, why you do what you do, why youre so good at it. And also to make a personal connection with your audienceideally your target audience Youre writing to your specific audience when youre creating a LinkedIn profile youre not selling your skills and expertise to every company on the street. No, you know the schriftart of position you want and the types of companies you want to work forand the great part about the LinkedIn profile is that you can even include some glimpses into your personality and quirks that will resonate with that very saatkorn audience.A resume doesnt provide this type of opportunity for connection or space to elaborate on all these great aspects of your career history and personal brand. Capitalize on the opportunity to provide them with more information about you, why you love what you doand what makes you unique.RESIST THE TRAPI encourage you to resist the notion that the resume replaces the LinkedIn profile or the LinkedIn profile replaces the resume. Instead, see them as complements to each other and an even greater opportunity to reach the employers and recruiters that you want to connect with and show them how youre a perfect culture fit. Its the best way to make the most of the time and attention the recruiter is investing into getting to know you better. You can absolutely direct the information theyre reading about youand you can put your best foot forward.Have a hard time writing your resume or LinkedIn profile?

4 Holiday Habits That Joanna Gaines Swears By And How to Try Them Out
4 Holiday Habits That Joanna Gaines Swears By And How to Try Them Out With zu sich smash-hit (and, now, sadly finished) home improvement show Fixer Upper, zu sich popular lifestyle brand Magnolia, her enviable marriage to husband Chip, and her adorable and highly-Instagrammable family, Joanna Gaines has basically cornered the domestic goddess market. So, it comes as no surprise that the holiday traditions shes put in place for her brood are as charming as everything else she does. People Magazine recently published an overview of Gaines favorite holiday activities, and were thrilled to report that theyre all easy to replicate at home.1. Start Christmas morning off right with a classic holiday breakfast.In a recent essay for Magnolia Journal, Gaines explains that she likes to prepare the saatkorn breakfast for her family every Christmas morning. Im not looking for ways to reinvent this season. Instead, all I want is to gather the saatkorn ingredients for the same beloved cinnamon rol ls that Ive baked on Christmas morning for as long as I can remember, Gaines says.Any breakfast recipe that your whole family enjoys can work here, but if you want to make Gaines Christmas-morning spread part of your own holiday tradition, go for some homemade cinnamon rolls. Gaines keeps her own recipe top-secret, but to try.2. Choose tree ornaments that have a special meaning to you and your family.While weve all marveled at the very manicured holiday trees in shop windows and on social media, Gaines believes that the prettiest ornaments on her own tree are the Popsicle-stick craft projects by her children and the ones with honest personal meaning, like the ornament featuring 8-year-old Emmies first lost tooth.I want to decorate our tree with our same ornaments that we ooh and ahh over each year. Our tree could never be complete without the kids handmade offerings. And while the Popsicle-stick picture frames have cracked over the years, and the photos within them have fadedit onl y makes me love them all the more, Gaines writes in Magnolia Journal.So go ahead and put that goofy promotional ornament you won at your office holiday party on your tree if it makes you smile and inspires happy memories, it deserves a prime spot.3. If you do want to try different tree-decorating schemes, go ahead and put up more than one pine.In a piece for the Magnolia blog, Gaines tells readers that she likes to set up two different Christmas trees in her home. The first, which she puts in her dining room, gets a classy and streamlined decor scheme, with only white lights and silver ornaments. The second, which Gaines calls the family tree, goes in the den (or in the master bedroom), and she, Chip, and the kids deck it out with their homemade ornaments. While the Gaines opt for two full-sized trees, you can easily try the dual-pine idea with tabletop trees or small artificial ones.4. Dont hesitate to get an early jump on the holiday season.Its very common to heave a frustrated si gh when Christmas items appear on store shelves in October. But according to Gaines, the holidays cant come early enough.Gaines outlines that her family looks forward to Christmas all year. (She, herself already got a little festive before Halloween by burning a Christmas candle and playing some holiday tunes). We count down the days, just to experience it nearly exactly as we always have, she writes. It is so comfortable, familiar and perfectly nostalgic that, frankly, we have no desire to improve upon it at all, People reports.So if you want to start blasting All I Want For Christmas Is You and pouring a frosty glass of eggnog well before December rolls around, go for it

5 Things You Need to Know About Creating Awesome eNewsletters
5 Things You Need to Know About Creating Awesome eNewsletters eNewsletters are powerful marketing and communication tools for several reasons. They can drive sales and leads, lead to a larger social media audience, increase traffic to your website, and serve as great places to repurpose content. They are crucial for maintaining an engaged audience, but you can lose a lot of people if you drop the ball.A survey of 277 hiring professionals conducted during May and June of 2016 by Recruiter.com and my company, Come Recommended, found that eNewsletters are among HR and recruiting pros favorite content formats.So, what makes a successful eNewsletter?There are five crucial elements1. Focused ThemesA bad eNewsletter is scattered and unfocused. If readers open your newsletter and see 10 different unrelated messages, they will be turned off. Instead, you should stay focused on one theme. You should have a very clear, straightforward goal in mind.Lets say you h ave a new wertzuwachs tracking feature you want to demo for hiring professionals. The content in your newsletter should be related, so make sure everything you share via the newsletter aligns with performance tracking. For example, you could share content that explores the challenges that companies face when it comes to annual performance evaluations.2. Balanced Content and DesignContent needs to be concise and to the point. Our survey found that 22.5 percent of HR professionals prefer content that is about 390 words long and takes approximately three minutes to read.Your subscribers dont want to open an email and see a Dickens novel. Large blocks of text head straight to the trash bin.Adopt a clean, minimalist design. There should be plenty of open space and the content should be organized into sections with small blocks of text. The readers eyes should comfortably follow the flow and feel of your eNewsletter.Regarding the content, you need to find a balance between educational and promotional. Most of the content you produce and share through eNewsletters should be educational. Readers want your expert advice on employer branding more than they want your sales pitch.Thats not to say you shouldnt try to promote your products or services. Keep promotional content to around 10 percent of the newsletter. When every newsletter has some form of sales content, you may come off as spammythe only click youll get will be on the unsubscribe button.3. Strong Subject LineHow are you attracting readers to your content? Our survey found that your headline is the most influential element in getting readers to your page.Your subject line is just like your headline your make-or-break point with the subscriber. It can be tough to stand out in your readers overflowing inboxes.You cant stick with the same exact subject line over and over again. What does your subjectsay that influences readers to open the newsletter? What incentives are presented? Why should they open it right now?eNewsletters are all about clicks and getting more people to your site. You cant drive traffic if your subscribers arent reading your emails.Make your subject line undeniably compelling. Address a common problem like soaring turnover rates and demonstrate thatthe eNewsletter contains expert insights into solving the problem.Keep your subject line short and sweet. Tell readers what is contained in your message and use action-oriented words just as you would with a call to action.4. Clear Call to ActionA common mistake many organizations make is trying to get their audiences to perform multiple actions with one eNewsletter. If your readersare overwhelmed bymultiplebuttons begging for their engagement, they simply wont do anything. Youre diminishing the value of each call to action if you put five in one message.Leadreaders to one main thing you want them to do e.g., explore your new video interviewing features, share your article to social media, or forward an infographic to a friend. Make your calls to action simple and clear, anddont forcethemto compete with one another.Consider including interactive content, like quizzes, contests, and games to help your audience retain your brand messaging. According to researchfrom the Content Marketing Institute,79 percent of content marketers agree that interactive content enhances retention of brand messaging when combined with traditional marketing tactics.Furthermore, 81 percent of content marketers agree that interactive content grabs attention more effectively than static content. When you have your readersattention, you can build a relationship with them thats founded on trust and respect.5. Established CredibilityStick to your word. On your subscribe page, set clear expectations, and then follow through on your promises.If youre promising a weekly eNewsletter, give peoplea weekly eNewsletter. If youre offering access to a free eBook on talent mobility programs, deliver that product.Be detailed and specific a bout why people should subscribe, what they can expect from you, how often they will get it, and how they can opt out. If you bury the opt-out options and make it hard for readers to unsubscribe, you may end up in the spam folder. Successful eNewsletters belong in front of your audiences eyes, not in the trash can.What makes your eNewsletter successful?Heather R. Huhman is a career expert, experienced hiring manager, and founder and president of Come Recommended.

Heres how to be your own personal best friend
Heres how to be your own personal best friendHeres how to be your own personal best friendLast week, on a day when I was feeling particularly moody, my friend Sarah sent a text asking how I was doing. I told her the truth I felt overwhelmed with work, hopeless about dating, frustrated with my weight, and who CARES SINCE IM SUCH A LOSER JERK ANYWAY NONE OF THIS MATTERS.She immediately shot back, HEY. Dont talk about my friend like that and then proceeded to calmly text me all the ways I was actually doing fine - Im finally working on writing projects that have been dream goals for decades, Im actively choosing not to date so I cant expect humans to come beating down my door, and I recently abfluged working out with a trainer which has already helped my lower back pain go away.I decided to believe her because, well, she was right like fruchtwein people, Im usually way too hard on myself. I clamp down like a Venus fly trap when Im feeling less than perfect, holding fast to every negat ive thought and refusing to let in kindness. But when framed through the eyes of someone who cares about me, my life becomes less about the ways Im failing and more about the ways Im kicking ass. Sarahs simple admonishment - Dont talk about my friend like that - made me realize that no matter how much time I spent being a good friend to others, I remained terrible at being a friend to myself.As we get older, women invariably do for others before we do for ourselves. Maybe you have children or elderly parents that need your time and attention, a stressful boss, or a demanding partner. Putting ourselves last is a cultural construct, just like gender, race, and people who think reality shows like The Bachelor are not rigged. Setting our mental and emotional needs on the back burner just makes it easier to forget about them entirely. And, while best friends are great at giving perspective, rckendeckung, and getting us out of emotional spirals - what happens when theyre not around?As we get older, women invariably do for others before we do for ourselves.Theres no way Im suggesting you replace your friends. If youre at all like me, it took you decades to cultivate a chump-free lifestyle, and we all need people to talk about the Real Housewives with over pizza and whiskey, OK? But knowing how to support yourself will help you feel more centered, independent, and able to actually enjoy yourself when youre spending time with the people you love. Becoming a best friend to yourself will take practice, it wont all happen overnight. Heres an easy way to start.Send yourself encouraging messagesI send myself notes all day long - my inbox is basically a virtual high-five session. Bitch, you look dope as hell today or You just wrote the hell out of that chapter Do I feel like a maniac having a folder full of emails where I am my own hype man? Yes. Does it help me feel better every single time I send one? YesIf it feels awkward to send yourself a positive note, just think about what your best friend in the entire world would say about whatever has you feeling challenged. Channel their goodness and send yourself an empathetic or invigorating message. This might feel silly, but theres actually science to back it up Positive affirmations are powerful reminders of what you value, they help shape the way you perceive yourself in the world, and even boost your performance at work. Most importantly, they can simply remind you that youre a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm when you need an immediate boost of confidence.Take actionA good friend often has spot-on actionable advice - even if its something we dont want to hear. You need to give that same kind of actionable advice to yourself and actually follow through. For example, a few years ago, I was tired of thinking about my body only in terms of how I looked, and not how I felt. I knew my scale and full-length mirror were a big part of the problem. So, when I moved back to New York, I l eft them both in Seattle and never bought new ones. Do you know how good it feels to get rid of scale? Its like having sex on top of an active volcano while you surf down a wave of lava. I read too many comics but YOU GET THE IDEA.Similarly, I want to commit murder whenever Im stressed out and my friends tell me to go for a walk or take a yoga class they know I spend all day inside writing by myself, and that Im basically allergic to exercise. But, somehow, theyre always right - I feel better when I get out of my head and into my body. These are things I needed to learn how to tell myself. Now when I feel my shoulders creeping up towards my ears, I tell myself to get going and then simply get up and move around. Let me impart this critical advice If you already spend too much time in your head, theres no shame an emergency one-person dance party.Think big pictureIf your friends are anything like mine, they spend a lot of time reminding you that things will get better. Theres a lot of encouragement to KEEP GOING - to work on the things that bring us joy even if they dont make us money.On New Years Day, I write a list every year of 100 things I want to accomplish in that year. Its full of things small and large (read all of the books on my nightstand, go to Paris for my 40th birthday), and I look at it whenever I feel stuck or useless. It reminds me that Im working towards some kind of goal every day. Your list can be big or small, you can write on your birthday or Arbor Day or today, but write down some short and long-term goals to reference whenever youre feeling like you need to shake things up. Taking action, even a small one, could get you out of your current funk.Being your own person is mostly about trying to dig yourself out of the cycle of negativity that affects us all. If youre not sure how to start the process, call your best friend - or better yet, just ask yourself.Danielle Henderson is a TV writer, freelance writer, former editor and staff writ er for Rookie, and author of the book Feminist Ryan Gosling.

When its out of your control, trust the coping strategy of a master
When its out of your control, trust the coping strategy of a masterWhen its out of your control, trust the coping strategy of a masterIts human nature to look in the mirror and compare ourselves to the images our culture throws at us every day. Being young, successful, body beautiful and wealthy are what our society thrives on, reminding us of what we should aspire to be. And so, we invest in expensive products, clothes, gym memberships, degrees, makeup, youth enhancements and the like grasping to experience what ansicht images project happiness. Yet the U.S. remains the most depressed and overmedicated nation in the world.When we look outside ourselves for acceptance and dont find it we reach for control as a lever of hope. A plethora of industries are happy to take your money to feed your need to belong among the pretty people yet after you buy the Prada handbag, MBA, Rolex watch and Mercedes as a solution to the void you feel and the initial thrill subsides you are still left wit h the same feeling of elend being enough. More purchases of the same only leave the hole emptier. So, then we start trying to control things, people, and situations with expectations masquerading as healthy goals. This makes for more unhappiness and very poor leadership because while goals are strategic, expectations are emotional and if unmet leave us frustrated, angry and defeated.Next, you throw your energy even more intensely into your work because you are an achiever and working harder always paid off in the past. But the stress is affecting your peace, relationships, effectiveness and sleep. I call this cycle the treadmill to nowhere.Everything I read and study regarding how to break free of this cycle of exhaustion points profoundly to a Master who successfully dealt with oppression far greater than not having his dream job. The work of Viktor E. Frankl sheds poetic wisdom on the shadows of unmet expectations. Frankl welches a Viennese neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor.In 1942, Frankl, his wife, and his parents were deported to the Nazi Theresienstadt Ghetto. There Frankl worked as a general practitioner in a clinic. When his skills in psychiatry were noticed, he was assigned to the psychiatric care ward, establishing a unit to help camp newcomers to overcome shock and grief. Later he set up a suicide watch.Frankls concentration camp experience led him to discover the importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most brutal ones, and thus, a reason to continue living. Frankl became one of the key figures in existential therapy and a prominent source of inspiration for humanistic psychologists.Everything can be taken from a man but one thing the last of the human freedoms- to choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way, said Frankl.On October 19, 1944, close to the end of the War, Frankl and his wife Tilly were transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. He was moved to a camp affiliated with Dachau, where he spent five months working as a slave laborer and then as a physician until April 27, 1945, when the camp was liberated by American soldiers. Frankls mother Elsa and brother Walter were murdered at Auschwitz. His wife was moved to Bergen-Belsen, where she, too, was murdered.Occasionally I looked at the sky, where the stars were fading and the pink light of the morning was beginning to spread behind a dark bank of clouds, wrote Frankl. But my mind clung to my wifes image, imagining it with an uncanny acuteness. I heard her answering me, saw her smile, her frank and encouraging look. Real or not, her look was then more luminous than the sun which was beginning to rise.A thought transfixed me for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which Man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart The salvation of Man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a standort of utter desolation, when Man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way an honorable way in such a position Man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment.A man who had lost everything found meaning in love and choice. Frankls most well-known quote is my favorite quote of all time and, for me, shows the value of vulnerability in even the most severe oppression.Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.Viktor Frankl had much time to contemplate how to transform d esolation into a will to thrive. His eloquent wisdom inspired this simple coach to create the PAUSE Caf Strategy to help clients move past self-doubt to innovation in the theme she learned from this Master. The next time a situation trips your emotions into a fight-or-flight response where you feel threatened, overwhelmed or angry try this practice to find the space Frankl references.The auszeit Caf strategyP Pause and take a deep breath.A Ask yourself, What am I feeling right now?U Untangle the difference between assumptions and the truth.S Step back and allow the pin-hole view of the world to be broader.E Extend empathy to yourself. May I be gentle with myself in this moment. Then extend empathy to others.For a free tip sheet on the Pause Caf Strategy click here.The truth is you have infinitely more choices than you think.

5 Career Ruts Everyone Gets Into at Some Point - The Muse
5 Career Ruts Everyone Gets Into at Some Point - The Muse5 Career Ruts Everyone Gets Into at Some PointBeing stuck in a rut sucks. If theres one thing I could wish for you, its that you never have to deal with a situation that holds you back from being happy, successful, or fulfilled.That, unfortunately, is an unrealistic wish (even mora unrealistic than wishing I could turn everything I touch into chocolate). Because like failure, ruts are inevitable. And the good news about that not-so-fun fact is that they ultimately help make us stronger, smarter, and more successful individuals.Just look at a few people in your life who you admire- how many of them went through a struggle that forced them to reevaluate their goals or path? Since Im someone who doesnt love surprises (except the birthday kind), Im going to tell you right now exactly which ruts youll find yourself in throughout your career. 1. Being BoredNo matter how much you love your job, how many hours you work, or how large th e pile of to-dos is on your desk, there will come a time when you will find yourself suddenly underwhelmed, unmotivated, or unstimulated at your job for days on end. It could be for a number of reasons. Maybe your boss has stopped challenging you. Or, maybe youre making the mistake of not seeking out challenges, or looking for exciting projects. Or, maybe youve found yourself in a new role that isnt as exciting as you thought it would be.Whatever the reason, boredom is usually pretty fixable. You can ask your boss for better projects, or see if you can chip in on what other teams are working on, or find ways to keep learning, like taking online classes or attending conferences related to your industry. If that still leaves you no better than you were before, it may be time to move on and find a role thats more engaging.2. Feeling UnhappyUnhappiness is a more serious sign to keep an eye on. Why is it so much more common than we realize? Because for one, were fickle beings- were alway s changing our minds and shifting our priorities. Which means the things we want in our careers now may change one, two, five years from now. Thats OKThe other reason is because sometimes were really bad at recognizing when were miserable. Well place the blame on other things (woke up on the wrong side of the bed, had a bad commute, a crazy boss) rather than accept that something bigger is affecting us.Figure out what is making you unhappy and use that information to decide what your next steps will be.Maybe it means transferring roles internally, changing companies, or switching industries entirely. Or maybe its even more simple than that. Maybe its talking to your boss about an overwhelming workload. Or asking your co-worker to stop talking to you when youre working at your desk. Whatever the cause, take the time to identify it and start making moves to solve it.3. Doubting Your Career PathUnless youre very lucky, you wont find yourself satisfied in the same role in the same indus try throughout your entire career. Dont beat yourself up if youre unsure about what you want to do next- even if youve spent 10 years in your role and are now doubting everything. The good news is that its never too late to make a change, whatever that means for you. The even better news is that you dont have to have it all figured out when youre 30, 40, 50. As Benjamin Franklin said, When you are finished changing, youre finished. Dont be finished.4. Feeling Like Nothings Going RightEver have those months when nothings going right? You keep messing up basic tasks, your manager keeps sending your work back with heavy revisions, your co-workers keep shutting down your ideas?It could be your fault- if youre job searching, for example, and getting nowhere, it might be worth reconsidering youre approach. But it could also be due to external forces, like a company restructuring or a bad boss. If so, its worth figuring out whether these can be fixed, and if not, what steps you can take to better tischset yourself up for success.5. Having to Deal With a (Big) ChangeYour company just went through a huge merger, half your department got laid off, you got laid off, they brought in a new boss, or oyouve moved to an entirely new city for a job.One day, something major will happen that will shake up how you do things and think about your career. While its practically impossible to prepare for something like this, remember that its common. And, that its salvageable. And, that the feelings of loss and doubt and frustration and sadness wont last forever. And, that youll come out stronger and more equipped to handle anything that comes your way. If you dont believe me, read this.The last thing I want to emphasize is that its easy to feel alone when youre in these ruts, or that no one understands what youre going through. But I can confidently tell you that everyone experiences these. Why else would I write this article? So, dont be afraid to admit when youre in one- if you don t, youll regret not making a change sooner.

Study Eating during certain windows may reduce risk for cancer
Study Eating during certain windows may reduce risk for cancerStudy Eating during certain windows may reduce risk for cancerThe Endocrine Societys Annual meeting yielded some fascinating finds this past Saturday. Two independent studies in particular present strong data regarding the hormonal impact our eating schedule has on overall wellness.Adnin Zaman and her colleagues showcased promising research exploring how eating later in the day effects BMI and weight gain. An analyst of 31 overweight and obese adults provided further insight into the way our bodys ability to convert calories into energy diminishes as the day grows old, seeing us pack on fat more readily.Unfortunately, over-eating past dinner time might additionally come with graver consequences than an expanding waistline.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreAccording to the lead researcher behind a new study, Dr. Manasi D as, an adherence to a time-restricted diet can dramatically reduce your risk for breast cancer.Three studies, one astonishing conclusionIn the first study, mice were put on a 60% fat diet regiment in order to make them obese. After 10 weeks passed, they were split into two groups.One group was given access to food 24 hours a day while the other group was only permitted to eat in an eight-hour window period at nighttime (rodents are nocturnal thus the most active at night). Three weeks into their assigned diets, the mice were injected with breast cancer cells.The second study organized the genetically modified mice into two groups one group was given 24-hour access to food and the other was assigned time-restricted access to food.In the final study, mice that adhered to a low-fat diet were given either a saline control, or an insulin pump, and then examined against mice on a high-fat diet put on drugs meant to reduce insulin levels.An ultrasound scan of all the rodents involved in t he three studies revealed that the time-restricted diet drastically slowed the satz of tumor growth in mice on a high-fat diet and lean mice alike. Dr. Das explains The results suggest the anti-tumor effect of time-restricted eating is at least partially due to lowering levels of insulin, suggesting this intervention may be effective in breast cancer prevention and therapy.Lower insulin levels concurrently impede the speed of growth of cancer cells, in addition to slowing down the development of tumors.Its also important to note that the mice put on medication that decreased insulin levels (diazoxide), experienced a slower growth rate than mice fitted with an insulin pump.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will ersatzdarsteller your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people
