(iv) it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims in the context of specific administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings;
(v) it is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person; or
(vi) where none of the other conditions apply, the data importer has obtained the explicit consent of the data subject for an onward transfer in a specific situation, after having informed him/her of its purpose(s), the identity of the recipient and the possible risks of such transfer to him/her due to the lack of appropriate data protection safeguards. In this case, the data importer shall inform the data exporter and, at the request of the latter, shall transmit to it a copy of the information provided to the data subject.

Since the beginning of time, guys have known that building their arm muscles is not only important for everyday activities, but also help swoon a few ladies along the way.
However, this goes way beyond just doing bicep exercises. You also have to build forearm muscles, shoulder and triceps as well. Strong arms will do much more than help you pick up ladies. Pretty much everything you do on a daily basis could be improved when you have stronger arms.
When it comes to building forearm muscles, there are many easy exercises you can do. Here is a list of five of the best exercises for forearm muscles, and easy step-by-step instructions for each.
One of the best bets you have for a deep forearm workout is the "Reverse Barbell Curl". This exercise will help develop both your forearm and bicep. Pick up a barbell, not too heavy, with an overhand hold. Your hands should be about a hips length apart and your feet, a shoulders length. For the best workout, try to keep your thumbs on top of the bar, not under it. Start with your arms straight and the barbell on your thigh. Begin to curl the barbell until your arm is at your shoulder level, perpendicular to your body. Then lower the barbell slowly back to your thigh area. Repeat the exercise.
This exercise works great at building muscle in your forearms. To position yourself for the "Barbell Wrist Curl", begin by leaning forward slightly, so that you are able to place both your forearms between your legs while sitting on a bench. When you grab the barbell, keep both of your palms facing you. With your wrists fully extended, slowly lower the barbell. Loosen your hold on the barbell slightly, and then move it lower again. Afterward, tighten your grasp and return your wrist back to its usual position. Raise the barbell once again, after you lower the barbell slowly. Repeat this exercise.
For this forearm exercise, you will need a "Hand Gripper", which can be easily attained at a sporting goods stores or online. There are numerous exercises you can do with a hand gripper. The first exercise is pretty simple. Grab the hand grippers and close them. Keep them closed for as long as you can.
Another exercise you can do with a hand gripper, is to change hands while you are gripping it and then progressively increase the number of times that you grip with each hand. Heres a breakdown of what you must do. First, with one of your hands, grip the gripper once. Then, with your other hand, grip the gripper once again. Grip one more than the previous time when you alternate hands back to your original hand. Keep up with this process up until you don't see it possible to do more.
The "Farmers Walk" is one of the best exercises for building forearm muscle. Doing it regularly will help strengthen your forearms over time. With both hands, pick up two heavy dumb-bells. With your arms down and back straight, walk as far as you can with the dumb-bells in hand. Once you feel that your arms can't hold them any longer, safely put them on the ground and give your arms a break for a minute or so. Then, pick the dumb-bells back up and continue to walk as far as you can. For this forearm exercise, it may be best to wear a back brace, to help provide support to your lower back.
This last forearm exercise targets the tiny muscles in your fingers, as well as your forearms. Take an individual sheet of newspaper. Using no other finger but your thumb and forefinger, grab on to the top corner. With only your thumb and forefinger, crush the piece of newspaper into a ball and put pressure until you feel unable to hold the ball. Do it again with the remaining hand. When you complete with your other hand, use your starting hand again, and so forth.
Before we discuss the best core exercises for you to follow, we need to take a quick look at what the core is and does for you. The core is essentially a group of 29 muscles, making up the lumbo-pelvic hip complex. This group of "core" muscles include the abs, pelvis and back. When you have a strong core, it makes it much easier to do everyday physical activities. These core exercises are designed to target the mid-section of your body, and will help you lose belly fat and build six-pack abs.
These core exercises help not only make you stronger, but they will also make you feel better and have proper posture. Repeating these exercises will help you feel more efficient in your everyday tasks.
The best core exercises for men and women are the exercises, which help stabilize the core muscles. To explain it further these exercises help in maintaining the draw in maneuver during the duration of each and every exercise. The draw in maneuver is when the belly button is sucked in towards the spine voluntarily. One can do the core exercises at home as well. You can do the core exercises with medicine ball too.
This is one of the best core exercises for women and men. Start by lying, with your back flat on the floor. Bend the knees and draw the feet closer to your butts, so that you are able to touch your heels with your hands. Gradually lift your hips as high as you can. When you lift your hips, draw the core towards the spine and contract the glutes. Interlace the fingers and place the forearm on the floor for added support. When you are in the bridge pose your back should not be arched at any point of time. This is one of the easiest core strengthening exercises, however it helps to draw the core towards the spine and contract the gluteal muscles. If while doing the exercise, you feel a cramp in your hamstring, then release the position and stretch your hamstring.
This is one of the core exercises, which is also a yoga pose. It is a fundamental core exercise. Doing this exercise regularly will help you develop the core to its full potential. To do this core exercise, lie flat on the stomach with elbows and forearms placed on the floor. The elbows should be so placed, that the shoulders are aligned with the elbows. Lift your hips, stomach and chest off the floor, so that your body is parallel to the floor. Only the forearms and balls of the feet should be on the floor. When you come into this position, make sure that the core muscles are sucked in towards the spine and the back is not arched.
This exercise is similar to the plank pose. Come down on your fours, such that the shoulders are placed exactly above the wrist. Rotate on the balls of the right foot and turn towards the left, so that the body forms a straight line from the head to the legs.
Hold this position, by drawing in the core muscles and contracting the gluteal muscles. Come out of the position and repeat the exercise on the other side as well. For an enhanced core workout, try lifting your arm slowly in the air, until you achieve the pose on the image to the right.
This core exercise can either be done with a single leg or with both the legs. Lie down on the floor and extend the legs out straight in front of you with hands placed next to your body. Lift both the legs off the floor till they are perpendicular to the floor. Then gradually lower the legs, but do not touch them to the floor. Repeat the exercise 12 to 15 times. The same can also be done using a single leg, where the movement is similar to the walking movement.
These best core exercises should be done after you have done some warm up exercises. You can also do the sun salutations for warm up. At the same time, do not forget to do the cool down, while you are "working to the core"!


The JPND Programme launches a joint rapid action call on the topic "Harmonisation and Alignment in Brain Imaging Methods for Neurodegeneration".
The EU Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND), which aims to support transnational collaborations in the field of neurodegenerative disease research, launches a rapid action call to establish working groups to enhance the use of brain imaging for neurodegenerative disease research.
The objective of this call is to establish a limited number of transnational, expert working groups to address issues of key relevance for the future use of brain imaging techniques in the above-mentioned fields of research.
Funding is limited to €50'000 for support of the working group's activities, which are expected to run for a maximum of 6 months.
For further details, please refer to the programme's official website. The submission deadline for proposals is March 10, 2016.
