The full size digital piano may be the main recognized instrument in experienced players to be utilized in major shows, but, the baby grand pianos have been by far the most well-liked piano size that exist in today's time. In contrast to it's larger brother, baby grand could easily fit to the tighter places in several houses that nevertheless keep its elegance and form that people have anticipated coming from theconcert piano.
The specialists says that the sound through the baby grand is smaller when compared to the usual piano, and perhaps they may be right due to strings inside that are shorter. Smaller grand piano can continue to have deep and magical sound which can surely excite, entertain as well as delight the hearts of any type of audiences.
These are really beautiful furniture pieces which can be both useful and functional. The noise of a piano is largely based on the positioning in the crucial strings and remarkable ability and space to vibrate whenever struck. They possess much more freedom to vibrate, making more genuine overtones along with a more precise seem. While a child piano might have fairly shorter as well as stiffer strings, still it offers increased quality of sound a lot more than concert pianos, as well as makes an awe-inspiring cause your rooms.
Within the events that you will be trying to find a baby piano, you can definitely find yourself taking a look at surprisingly affordable devices. Study the fine print carefully: many baby pianos can be purchased as they can be a great and lavish gift for any kid, it will probably be a significant frustration in case you unpack your piano then discover that you have to kneel down on the ground simply to utilize it. Usually, the child grand piano will likely be under 6 ft in length, and could end up being broader than its height.
In case purchasing the baby grand piano, examine nearby stores for your precise selling prices. Producer, supplies featuring may all have an effect on the buying cost of the weighted piano keyboard. Usually, a whole new baby piano will surely cost between $2000-$6000 US bucks.
Nevertheless, used pianos are coming down in price considerably, most specifically if the seller is in fact shifting and could not bring their very own baby grand piano. Examine websites or even newspaper listings for bargains, but make certain to check out the instrument very carefully before buying.
Pianos are among the most widely used musical instruments around the world, and arguably the most famous, as also versatile. Have you any idea piano is really pianoforte, formally? Grand pianos are, to put it simply, full-sized pianos. These pianos are ideally designed for large spacious rooms and concerts, etc., and the sound from these pianos is a lot more real than on other pianos. Baby grand pianos are smaller versions of grand pianos, primarily designed for 'everyday use' in homes.
The only problem a piano lover had to handle was scale of the piano. Not anymore – with a cute and attractive baby grand piano, its lovely curves and strings, he could have his piano and listen to it, too! The design includes a smaller footprint, while keeping the sound quality as true as is possible. In the event you still want to get the truest sound, you will think about the original grand piano. Baby grand piano is surely an owner's as well as a pianist's delight. Baby grand pianos are elegant and affordable, and unlike their bigger counterparts, can be used as an ornament within the living room area.
Baby Grand pianos are generally shorter in dimensions, and the strings are thick and short in comparison with full size grand. Although purists say the sound made by these pianos is inharmonious, for any wlnkqz user, this piano does suit you perfectly, and the sound is definitely less bad as numerous might have you feel. Grand pianos are to start with huge, then hugely expensive. Baby pianos on the other hand are small, can easily fit in your rooms, are elegant and affordable, too. They may be mostly made of wood like oak, mahogany, etc. There are lots of antique baby pianos that are breathtakingly beautiful for his or her artistry.
Baby grand pianos are smaller in proportions, but the sound they generate is not really small by any means. Though it may be factual that whenever we were to get the same degree of true sound as electric piano, then your cost would escalate manifold, but that doesn't suggest that baby grand pianos sound bad. They sound remarkably close to grand pianos, and very first time users will struggle to make out your difference. Somehow, these pianos appear to add sheen and sweetness to the family room. A baby grand piano definitely makes the room look majestic, artistic and increases the glamour. And of course, it may fill the room with sound that is not easily described. Generally with smaller sound board, the quality of sound of a baby grand is usually somewhat less than grand piano.

1 Proc. of Int. Conf. on Multimedia Processing, Communication& Info. Tech., MPCIT Hosting Transaction Based Applications on Cloud A.N.Diggikar 1, Dr. D.H.Rao 2 1 Jain College of Engineering, Belgaum, India 2 Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belgaum, India Abstract Cloud Computing is an established and accepted paradigm of computing both in industry and academia. Primary success factors include elasticity of computing resources and flexible payment model. The challenge spectrum created by this computing model is wide. One of the challenges is to determine the type of software applications that can be hosted by the compute cloud. Traditionally applications have been broadly classified into Analytical and transactional oriented systems. The features of compute cloud are more inclined to facilitate hosting of analytical systems. In this paper we analyze the support for hosting transaction oriented applications on compute cloud. We propose a model that identifies the components required to enable transactional applications on cloud. This model presents a model with well defined components that will help designers make important design decisions. This can be considered as a pattern for hosting cloud based applications. Index Terms cloud computing, distributed transactions, data store, data distribution I. INTRODUCTION The Cloud Computing paradigm has revolutionised the way in which the Information Technology giants like Google, Amazon, and Yahoo are doing business. This revolution has been similar to electric grids that liberated the corporations from generating electricity on their own, which meant that they focussed on their business goals [1]. The data and programs are driven away from the personal computers and corporate infrastructure into the cloud. Compute cloud paradigm provides variety of resource pool that includes storage and servers, which are offered as a service. Any computer with an internet access can avail the service. A subscriber can access the service when required and unsubscribe when no longer needed, and pay only for the time for which the service was used. This on demand subscribing of computing resources without having to buy any hardware or software, along with a flexible payment model makes compute cloud a successful paradigm. To state the impact of compute cloud, the New York Times converted 4TB of data containing images of articles into sorted PDF format which was made available online, in just 24 hours for 300$ using cloud computing services [2]. The services offered by cloud can be at different levels of abstractions namely, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides hardware as service that includes network, server, and storage. PaaS along with the hardware, it embeds software such as operating system and middleware software. In SaaS, cloud service providers maintain everything including the data. As we traverse from IaaS to SaaS, the risk and control shifts from users to cloud service providers as illustrated below as shown in fig.1 [3]. The highlighted parts in the figure indicate the parts that are in control of the cloud service providers. The important characteristics that motivate enterprises to host applications on compute cloud are: Elasticity: ensures that applications deployed in cloud can handle spikes in user requests for resources on DOI: 03.AETS Association of Computer Electronics and Electrical Engineers, 2013
2 Organization s IaaS PaaS SaaS dedicated IT infrastructure Data Data Data Data Applications Applications Applications + Applications Environments Servers Servers Servers Servers Storage Storage Storage Storage Network Network Network Network Control with Organization Control with Service Providers Figure 1: Shift of Control and Risk in the Compute Cloud demand. For example, in Amazon EC2 a server can be added in minutes when required. Zero maintenance: enterprises maintaining internal IT infrastructure invest time and money for running upgrade routines, service packs and to apply service packs, which is taken care by the cloud service providers [4]. This allows the enterprises to focus on the core competencies and lets the maintenance to be handled by the service providers. Reliability: compute cloud ensures higher reliability as the service providers have redundant data centres for backup and on demand access to resources to handle failures. The risk is also transferred to the provider who is better equipped to manage the security with dedicated expert staff, leading to enhanced reliability. Efficient pricing: usage based pricing allows enterprises to start small with an option to scale up with increase in requirements. This avoids huge initial capital investments to set up the infrastructure. As the service providers maintain data centres in locations that require lower cost for cooling, electricity, taxes, property value, and labour, this will ensure efficient pricing. The characteristics of compute cloud attract enterprises to deploy their applications on cloud to exploit the advantages posed by it. However it has been observed that cloud cannot support all types of applications. A study of data management tools on cloud suggests that it is difficult to deploy transaction oriented systems and is more suitable for analytical and batch processing systems. Currently cloud is more suitable for applications that require Share Nothing architecture (SN) that contain multiple nodes, with each node having its own input, output devices, memory, and disks [5]. Hence to support transaction oriented systems on cloud; it requires the distributed database to implement SN architecture. We can consider two options of data management techniques for deploying distributed database on cloud. One is to use the traditional relational databases and another is to implement distributed database using available cloud data management services. The relational databases from Microsoft SQL, Sybase, IBM, and Oracle either do not implement SN architecture or suitable for data warehousing systems. Prominent cloud data management services include Google s Bigtable [6], Amazon s SimpleDB [7], and PNUTS from Yahoo [8]. The design choices of the cloud data management tools include SN architecture but these are developed for their internal systems with availability of systems as higher priority than the data consistency. The transaction oriented systems have strong data consistency as priority with support for atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID) properties. However none of the cloud data management tools consider support for ACID properties. Hence the study on data management techniques concludes that neither the traditional databases nor the cloud data management services are suitable for supporting transaction oriented systems [1]. In this paper we propose a model that identifies the components required to support transactions on compute cloud. We provide the important design choices for these components that will help enterprises in designing a transaction oriented system on cloud. The design choices for the components ensure ACID properties in the cloud and also ensuring that the system can leverage the advantages of compute cloud. The decision choices for the components are a combination of established principles of traditional database systems and the distributed data management principles to deal with the drawbacks of cloud data management services. II. RELATED STUDY With the advent of cloud computing, many data management services on cloud also evolved to leverage the cloud characteristics. Some important services include Google s Bigtable, Amazon SimpleDB, and Yahoo s Pnuts. Bigtable data model uses a multidimensional sorted map which is indexed by row and column keys along with a timestamp as {row: string, column: string, timestamp}. Read and write operations are based on row keys which are sorted. Tables are horizontally and dynamically partitioned into tablets, which store an 152
3 ordered range of row keys. Simple operations such as insert, delete, and update are possible on single row using APIs. The APIs support only single row transactions which means multiple row update operations is not possible. Hence it cannot provide atomic distributed transactions. As Bigtable was created for internal applications at Google, it is ideal for massive parallel computations like MapReduce and not for distributed transactions. It uses distributed lock service called Chubby to control data replication and to coordinate different components of Bigtable [9]. It uses Paxos algorithm for ensuring consistency among different replicas [10]. The chubby lock service is the critical part of the system which has the control and coordination information of system and its failure will bring down the entire system [6]. Amazon s SimpleDB is designed to support other Amazon services such as EC2 (server on demand) and S3 (on demand storage) which form the Amazon cloud infrastructure [7]. Tables of data are composed as domains that allow a column to hold multiple values. It provides APIs for operations on data in domains. All values are stored as string which is the only data type supported. Replicas are managed by different clusters. It supports asynchronous updating of replicas. The eventual consistency model is not suitable for enabling transactions on cloud. SimpleDB runs on top of Amazon s infrastructure which means that database will not be portable to other database service provider on cloud [4]. Yahoo s PNUTS [8] was created to aid its internal applications. Database is horizontally partitioned, with each partition replicated in different regions. It uses Yahoo Message Broker to enable asynchronous replication management that keeps all the replicas consistent. The record level mastering scheme is used for consistency model, which means that only one region at a time will have the master record to serve data requests. It allows the migrating the record mastership based on request loads. It has three components namely Storage units, router, and controller. Storage unit component stores data and serves data requests. Router has configuration details of record distribution across the different regions. B + tree data structure is used to store mapping information of record to region based on the primary key. The controller is used for recovery during failure of storage units, and it enables load balancing between different regions. To summarise, most of the cloud data service providers have opted for a data model that enable horizontal partitioning with data stored as key value pairs and enable access based on row keys. The design choices prioritise availability, scalability, and replication but have relaxed strict constraints of relational model. All have opted for eventual consistency model and the APIs provide data access based on a single row key and cannot support transactions that involve more than one row key. Das, et al. [11], have proposed a scalable system that supports transactions on cloud. In this paper we propose a model that illustrates fundamental blocks of a system that require transaction support on cloud. The following aspects highlight the important challenges that are to be addressed. Data structure, partitioning and distribution of application data, managing data request, and coordination among the components for load balancing and recovery mechanism. III. SYSTEM DESIGN A. Data model Cloud based applications demand a simple data representation for storing and accessing through a programming interface. The data model must enable simple partitioning of application data. We opt for a data model that is similar to the Google s Bigtable with application data stored as key value pairs. The reason behind the choice of this data structure is that we must group the data in the partitions such that transactions are confined to single region. This is possible because most of the applications have good spatial and temporal locality if there is an effective data organisation scheme [12]. B. Dynamics Application data requests are directed to the TP system, which consists of many Transaction and Data Managers (TDM) and Central Coordination service (CCS) to enable distributed transactions. Each TDM contain a partition of database. The application data is persisted on the cloud storage for backup and recovery. CCS will coordinate and monitor all the components of the system. It organizes the meta data information related to application tables, and monitors and coordinates mapping of partitions to TDMs. All the components of the model are set up in the compute cloud. C. Persistent Data Store (PDS) The responsibility of the PDS is to store the application data and logs persistently. There are many alternatives for distributed file storage, some of them are Google s GFS [13], Apache Hadoop HDFS [14], 153
4 and Amazon S3. One of the advantages of these cloud storages is that they are designed to handle replication and recovery from failures. Here though there are various backups of the system data across different regions, the model will have only one active region. D. Transaction and Data Manager (TDM) Figure 2: Overview of model. The database is partitioned across TDMs which handles the operations on the data partition it stores. TDM is a combination of data store and the transaction manager. Transaction manager is used on top of a data store such as Bigtable or HBase [15], to execute transactions on the partition allocated to it. TDM is also responsible for transaction logging and concurrency control during execution of transactions. To reduce the latency of distributed transactions during commitment protocol, effective logging technique such as force logging or neighbor main memory logging can be used [16]. The TDMs stores the mapping of partition to TDMs from CCS to identify the TDMs responsible to handle the transaction requests. E. Central Coordination Service (CCS) This component is used to maintain the configuration and metadata information required to coordinate all the components of the model. The critical mapping and metadata information is referred to as system state, which will keep all the others components of the system in consistent state. CCS ensures that all the TDMs have updated copy of the mapping information. It carries out regular maintenance operations to detect failure of components and initiates recovery in event of failure. In the event of failure of a TDM, it creates a new TDM and allocates the partition of failed TDM to it and informs other TDMs. An effective data distribution will reduce the latency of distributed transactions and to ensure this, Improved Range data distribution and an online migrating algorithm can be used [17]. The chubby lock service can be part of CCS but it uses Paxos consensus algorithm which needs 2F+1 servers to manage failure of F servers [18]. The main advantage of CCS is that it is not involved in transaction execution and the transaction requests are forwarded directly to the TDMs and hence it is decoupled from operations of TDM and can efficiently manage the system. A cluster management system is a base component that helps set up a cluster of servers on which other components are built. The CCS builds on the services of the cluster management system to communicate and monitor the TDMs in the cluster. F. Transaction Management In this section we discuss how to ensure ACID transactions on the cloud. Atomicity of transactions is determined by the commitment protocol. The optimized two phase commit protocol such as in ClustRa Telecom Database [16], are suitable for distributed transactions. The TDMs can be used to store log statements during transactions to reduce the latency of commitment protocol. These backup TDMs store logs for speeding the transactions and also help during recovery in case a TDM fails during transaction execution. Since the TDMs are in cloud the communication between nearby backup TDMs can ensure atomicity using transaction logs. The consistency of transaction that ensures referential integrity constraints can be handled by the application logic; hence this is not part of our model. Isolation property ensures that updates are affected by transactions operating on same data simultaneously. In the design of our model we adopt timestamp ordering for concurrency control where any transaction with older timestamp gets the priority 154
5 [19]. Durability is ensured in our model by writing to the persistent data storage after completion of the update transactions. During failure of TDMs, durability is assured by using the transaction logs in the back up TDMs during the recovery. Recovery component is part of our model that ensures recovery of application data on failure of TDMs. The recovery in our model is based on logging at backup TDMs. The CCS detects the failure of TDMs, and will use the configuration information and services of cluster management system to set up a new TDM. The CCS initiates recovery if data at the failed TDM by using the logs and application data from the persistent data storage. Finally it updates the mapping information to all the TDM of the new TDM. The logging component is embedded in the TDMs as it is part of commitment protocol during transactions. Hence our model consists of following components: data model, persistent data storage, TDM, CCS, logging, commitment protocol, recovery, and cluster management system. Regarding the implementation direction we plan to use the open source framework from Hadoop that will facilitate cluster management and persistent data storage using the distributed database of Hbase which is similar to Bigtable. The CCS and logging can be managed by Zookeeper which is part of Hadoop project. We are in the process of designing a transaction based application which will be prepared as a case study to demonstrate the design and development of a cloud based application based on the components illustrated in this paper. IV. CONCLUSIONS The proposed model consists of components that together ensure distributed transaction on compute cloud. We have identified the set of components that are part of any system that need to support execution of distributed transactions on cloud. We have briefly highlighted implementation directions which indicate the feasibility of our model. We have highlighted some design choices for most of the components. This paper will help in design of a transaction oriented system to be hosted on the compute cloud. REFERENCES [1] D.

Product Description
Avenue is a quick and exciting family game that can be played with up to ten players with very little downtime. Players draw a network of roads on their player sheet, trying to connect their farms and castles to grapes.
Each round, a card is drawn that shows which type of road the players must draw. Some cards are marked as scoring cards, and when the fourth scoring card is drawn, a new farm is scored. The order in which the farms are scored is revealed one-by-one throughout the game, so players must constantly adapt their strategies.
When a scoring takes place, you score points for every grape that your farm is connected to — but you shouldn't be too greedy because if a farm is not connected to more grapes than your previous farm, you lose points! Scoring many points early will therefore make things difficult later. This keeps the game exciting until the end.

Rome (AFP) – Roma players trained on Tuesday ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg wearing shirts bearing the words "Forza Sean" in support of injured Liverpool fan Sean Cox.
The 53-year-old Irishman was attacked by Roman hooligans outside Anfield before Liverpool's 5-2 first-leg win last week and is still in a serious condition in hospital.
Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco said earlier on Tuesday that he was "alongside Sean Cox and his family".
Two men have since been charged over the attack.
Three thousand police officers have been deployed in the Italian capital to avoid a repeat of the ugly scenes seen on Merseyside, with around 5,000 Liverpool supporters expected to travel to the city.

Colombia: Consumer confidence hits highest level so far this year in July
August 16, 2017
The Fedesarrollo Consumer Confidence Index (ICC) rose from minus 11.7 points in June to minus 9.5 points in July, the highest figure so far this year. The reading, however, still lies firmly below the 0-point threshold that separates pessimism from optimism among consumers.
The rise in consumer confidence in July resulted from an improvement in consumers' expectations for future economic conditions and came about despite a deterioration in consumers' perceptions of current economic conditions. Moreover, consumers' willingness to buy housing and big-ticket durable goods also improved.

freebier replied to turbowhine's topic in NorthwestTry the Noonday Trail area (Bohemia mining district) east of Cottage Grove. The trail itself is relatively short, but has a bunch of mineshafts to check out. Riding up Champion Creek is nice (and easy), but really beautiful and also has a bunch of mines. Fairview lookout, at the top of Champion Creek, has some amazing views with more mines to the east. Huckleberry Flats is a good beginner trail system with one challenging trail on the northeast corner. Santiam Pass/Big Lake/Hoodoo has a lot of riding to the east of the road. The actual OHV area to the west is a joke.
Santiam Pass, oregon
freebier replied to mykul's topic in NorthwestJust camped for the first time at Big Lake weekend before last. I'd been there a couple of times before, but I just realized that all of the good riding is actually on the east side of the road, and not the designated OHV area near Hoodoo on the west side. Far less woops to the east, or at least you can find some trails that aren't wooped out. The OHV area is almost entirely woops. There are some good sand blow-out areas with some hill climbs that are pretty hard to find. If you find the flat rock area with the wagon wheel grooves, you're close. I've always been down on Big Lake, but riding the east side changed my mind. Not to mention the sweet camp sites in Loop A. Looks like there's also some good dispersed camp sites near the entrance to the Seventh Day Adventist Camp on the east side of the road. Funny story (to make a long post longer), we ran into a group of the Seventh Dayers out in the woods to the east. There was a group of about 20, all on bikes and quads. There was also a guy driving a rail that looked like it was his first time out. He was driving all wide-eyed and white-knuckled and about ran over a buddy and I that were parked in a highly visible spot in a clearing. We decided to follow, assuming he was going to be good for some excitement down the road. Just a few hundred yards down the trail, a group of 3 jeeps stopped us. They were all pissed off, and told us to tell our "buddy" to slow down. Evidently, he had bounced the rail off one of the jeeps, and just kept on going. Funny thing, we ran into the group at the top of Cach Mtn.(one of the best views in central OR.) and the rail was dumping mass quantities of coolant. Karma's a bitch, I guess (even for Seventh Day Adventists). Hope the thing melted down before they got back to camp. I thought an appropriate bumper sticker for him would read: "Who would Jesus run over?". Anyway, I best get back to work.....
Went to EFR for the first time over the holiday weekend. Thought it was pretty good except for mostly easy trails and a whole lot of woops. I think it takes a complete tour of the entire trail system to find the best routes. Probably still the best riding area "near" Eugene.... Just one thing absolutely drove me nuts. What's the deal with all of the utility quads refusing to pull over? Do you really think you're the only ones out there? Do you think that 5 mph is haulingass? Don't get me wrong... I think it's great that more and more people are getting into OHV's. The more people that have a voice in land use issues the better. But please, use some common courtesy. Look over your shoulder once in a while. Use hand signals to tell other parties how many are behind you in your group. The average rider (which you're not) rides 5 times your speed. I know you can hear me behind you as you're trying to make a 3-point turn to get through the narrow spots That 800 pound hay-hauler isn't the performance machine you think it is. I'm not saying stay away, just practice a little common courtesy. I realize that none of the offending parties are TT'ers, and I'm preaching to the choir.... P.S. I'm a quad rider, too. (I know everyone hates to hear that) But, I ride with a purpose. I didn't hold up a single bike this weekend. Although, a couple of courteous riders did let me by.....
Ladies.. What's your humble opinion?
freebier replied to Alaskan_h230_gurl's topic in Thumpette ForumPoint well taken.... I guess I think specifically of the OHV areas around here. The two that are nearby were originally "free-for-all" types of areas. Once they began to be managed by the BLM and FS, some of the routes were designated as "bike only" trails, but still offer semi-challenging riding for quads. We really don't see any real single-track around here. Most of the bike trails are quad width trails (although you wouldn't want to take a big farmer john up one...). I don't see much of the damage you describe. When the local riding club and the BLM workers repair a trail, it's to fill in the nasty 6" wide ruts cut deeply into the clay (which aren't limited to the bike-only trails). I guess my gripes are more specific to my locale. Actually, when I think about it, those nasty ruts are what actually make the ride interesting... My compliments on your articulate and well stated response. Like I said, it's a rarity in many of the TT forums.... P.S. Maybe I will have to add a CRF to the stable one day.... It's been 17 years since I lost my sense of balance...
Ladies.. What's your humble opinion?
freebier replied to Alaskan_h230_gurl's topic in Thumpette ForumSorry to continue the hijacking of this thread..... But being a "quadtard" myself, I was just curious how the quads are able to impact the condition of single-track trails. I must admit that I'm one of the "hooligans" that enjoys the challenges of riding on designated bike trails. All of the designated single-track in this area are always badly damaged by wicked ruts from the bikes. This isn't a complaint, just an observation. It's actually what makes the trails more interesting for me. The quad trails in this area are pretty tame, the only interesting trails are designated single-track. I do have some experience under my belt, and have surprised quite a few bike riders on their own turf. I'm probably not the typical quad rider, ability wise. Just wanted a clarification of the "damage" everyone's seen out on the trails from my fellow "quadtards". (I don't have a problem with that term. The majority of quad riders, at least around here, are a danger to everyone around them.) The only damage I ever see is 6" wide scars dug deep into the trail. Again, I humbly apologize for the continuation of the hijack. Also, I'm obviously not a thumpette, so I apologize for posting in your forum, but find this interesting. OK, I'm done apoligizing now. (I haven't apologized that much since I was married...) As a side note, I totally enjoy reading the posts in this forum. Do women have that much better command of the English language? It's near impossible to decipher the threads in some of the other forums...
Blowing oil!!
freebier replied to pigryder's topic in Sport ATVMine also blows oil.... I spend a lot of time with the front end lofted. If the level is kept at the full mark, it'll blow oil out the breather into the air filter. Once I started keeping the level at the 1/2 way mark, problem was solved. However, I seem to use about 1 cup of oil for every 8 hours of ride time. No smoke, no indication of where it's going. I've got a couple of buddies with CRF's that use oil at the same rate... Just the nature of the beast? Any thoughts?

The humanitarian impact of the 2015-2016 El Niño remains deeply alarming, now affecting over 60 million people. Central America, East Africa (particularly Ethiopia), the Pacific and Southern Africa remain the most affected regions. The El Niño phenomenon is now in decline, but projections indicate the situation will worsen throughout at least the end of the year, with food insecurity caused primarily by drought not likely to peak before December. Therefore, the humanitarian impacts will last well into 2017 .

Water: At What Cost? Our latest report reveals the state of the world's water
Our new report, launched to mark World Water Day 2016, reveals that the poorest people in the world are paying the highest price for safe water – and calls on governments to act now for universal access.
23 November 2015, GENEVA – A new report issued today by the UN, "The Human Cost of Weather Related Disasters", shows that over the last twenty years, 90% of major disasters have been caused by 6,457 recorded floods, storms, heatwaves, droughts and other weather-related events.
The five countries hit by the highest number of disasters are the United States (472), China (441), India (288), Philippines (274), and Indonesia, (163).
Super El Niño and climate change cause crop failures putting millions at risk of hunger
At least ten million poor people face hunger this year and next due to both droughts and erratic rains influenced by climate change and the likely development of a 'super El Niño'.
Snapshot 28 May–2 June 2015
Iraq: 104,000 IDPs from Ramadi district over 15–29 May brings the total number of displaced in Anbar to 238,000 since April. They are facing serious restrictions accessing neighbouring governorates. In Anbar, Islamic State abducted 400 children in the last week of May. The humanitarian response for Syria is facing severe cutbacks due to funding shortages.
Mali: Gao and Timbutku regions have been the scene of multiple clashes between the Azawad Movement Coalition and Malian forces, as well as the pro-government Gatia militia. At least 12 people have been killed, including nine civilians. About 31,500 people have been displaced from three districts in Timbuktu region. They are in urgent needs of water, food, NFIs, and shelter support, but access is limited.
Snapshot 9–14 April 2015
Afghanistan: Security incidents have spiked in early April, after the announcement that more NATO troops would remain in the country than originally scheduled. NATO convoys were targeted in Nangarhar and Kabul on 10 April. On the same day, five NGO staff were found dead, having been abducted in Uruzgan province in early March.
Snapshot 11–17 February 2015
Myanmar: Fighting between the Myanmar army and the MNDAA, an insurgent group in the Kokang area of Shan state, displaced tens of thousands of people. Some fled into central Myanmar, while between 30,000 and 50,000 are thought to have crossed into Nansan, Yunnan province, China.
In Syria, fighting has intensified in October with the Government gaining control of strategic areas around Damascus and south of Aleppo. Meanwhile, while the number of Syrian refugees has reached almost 2.2 million people, parties to the conflict and international actors are increasingly focused on the Geneva II conference scheduled to take place in November after having been postponed several times.
Snapshot 08 – 15 October
In Syria, heavy fighting is ongoing in Rural Damascus, Dar'a, Aleppo, Idleb and Homs, with government forces making gains in Rural Damascus while the opposition has won ground in Dar'a. Despite the call of al-Qaeda's leader for opposition fighters to unite, inter-group fighting has escalated in Aleppo over control for neighbourhoods. Meanwhile, the Syrian National Council announced that it did not intend to participate in the proposed Geneva II peace talks.
In Syria, heavy fighting along the border with Jordan in the southern province of Dar'a is on-going. After a week-long battle in Aleppo, the Government army regained control of the strategic town of Khanasser which is located on a key supply route between central Syria and Aleppo. Meanwhile, ground fighting is ongoing across Syria, with clashes extending to the previously relatively stable governorate of Tartous.
In Syria, heavy fighting continues between the Government and opposition groups as well as infighting within the opposition. Against this background, the UN Security Council endorsed the Russia-US agreement on the elimination of Syria's chemical stockpile. There are now over 2.1 million Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries. As of 27 September, heavy shelling is preventing an estimated 70,000 Syrian refugees from crossing into Jordan, leading them to face severe food insecurity as they remain stranded on the border.
Snapshot 16-23 September
Snapshot 09 – 16 September
In Syria, heavy fighting continues, with air-strikes on opposition controlled areas in Damascus and on-going offensives in Aleppo, Rural Damascus, Idleb, Homs and Al-Hasakeh. Meanwhile, after three days of talks in Geneva, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reached an agreement on a disarmament proposal under which Syria's stockpiles of chemical weapons are to be eliminated by mid-2014. The Syrian Minister for Information has indicated that Syria will abide by the terms set out in the plan.
