As for food inflation, it has remained high during the course of January before declining to a seven-week low of 13.07% towards the end of the month as prices of potatoes and pulses inflation, which snapped the three-week rising trend, fell by nearly 4 percentage points from 17.05 per cent in the week ended January 22. It was 22.08 per cent a year-go.
Chaos prevailed when the stock market opened: Only about half of the stocks in the S&P 500 had started trading by 9:35 a.m.; a quarter of the Russell 3000 index was down 10% or more intraday, and many large ETFs traded far below the value of their underlying assets.
For instance, the average price of copra increased from Rs. 5,401 a quintal in 2013 to Rs. 12,936 a quintal in 2015 in the Tiptur market (rise of 139 per cent), while it moved from Rs. 5,178 a quintal in 2013 to Rs. 11,169 (116 per cent) in 2015 in the Arsikere market of Hassan district.
The stop-loss practice is for your own benefit as this provision has utmost importance and is not provided on each trading ticket by the exchanges, just for the heck of it. If the trades turn & move in the opposite directions beyond entry levels, they might further move very fast in a volatile manner & the losses accrued, in the absence of a stop-loss, can be un-imaginable.
Pure demand and supply dynamics determine the prices of the commodities in Spot Markets but with introduction of Futures Market, commodity trading is just similar to trading in equities which witness cyclical movements and traders initiating positions based on their biases and expectations of market trends.
Another way is to wait and watch the market till you feel that the market is about to go up or just started going up. When the bear market is about to end, it is a good time to invest in shares in the anticipation that the prices will go up and you can make a handsome profit.
Under the Act, forward trading in commodities notified under section 15 of the Act, can be conducted only on the Exchanges, which are granted recognition by the Central Government (Department of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution).
When the commodities, consisting of energies (crude oil, gasoline, natural gas), metals (gold, platinum, silver) and agricultural product (corn, rice, wheat, cocola, cotton, coffee and sugar) are bought & offered for a financial income with better commodity suggestions , then it's called as commodity trading.
For the period january 1, 1980 to December 31, 1998, data show that managed futures investments (as measured by the Barclay CTA Index) had a compound annual return of 15.8%. That compares very favorably with the 17.7% return that common stocks had during the same period, one of the strongest stock markets in U.S. history.
Your model has to be perfect if you are going to depend on it for your investments and money.Alerts that can reach you on your phone, while you are travelling, can also be worked into your models making you aware of the market even when you don?t have access to a trading models can save you from major losses and make you good profits as they identify markers that humans can miss.
For example, a corn producer could purchase corn futures on a commodity exchange to lock in a price for a sale of a specified amount of corn at a future date, while at the same time a speculator could buy and sell corn futures with the hope of profiting from future changes in corn prices.

Park life in Thorne..
It was a jam-packed weekend just gone – just the way I like it! It started with a morning soujourn to Thorne near Doncaster for A Midsummer's Music in the Park, a reprise of last year's event. I parked up Ludo outside Becky and Pete's, got him set up for later in the evening – unfortunately Ella's train was delayed which put a spanner in our finely honed plans so I grabbed our new camping settee and wandered parkward alone.
With the Meadevil Bar in place, inflatables for the kids, facepainting, and a couple of stalls (including the ever-popular magic stall) already in place I found a suitable spot to spend the afternoon, grabbed a cider. The sun was shining, there was good company – aside from rail based delays everything was going according to plan beautifully! I really do like the Memorial Park in Thorne as a place to sit and chill watching good music!
The first music was served up courtesy of Honeywitch – stripped down somewhat, with guitar, bass, cajon (I was watching this most carefully) and Claire on vocals. They started with acoustic guitar for more ethereal folksy numbers – Fly With Me kicked off the set, followed with a song whose title escaped me but was about a chap who'd until recently been on death row (having subsequently been exonerated) – with the awesome lyric "democracies die when democracies kill" – succinct and perfect.
In a bid to lift the mood, What People Say reminded us of ignoring what gossips might say. The next song had a shantyish feel to it and involved rum (and an inevitable shout out to the absent Brian). The only cover of the set was Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart – a spooky rendering which works really well in this interpretation. A switch to electric guitar brought a rockier sound – Demon saw Claire briefly transform into a butterfly before hastily discarding her wings.
The remainder of the set I only picked up Sirens and Pirates amongst the names – the final song even came with a pretty easy to follow dance (along to the lines "is it a bird, is it a plane, no it's Superman!" – but definitely a much more agreeable than the 80s school disco staple contributed by Black Lace! I'm looking forward to more Honeywitch at Farmer Phil's next weekend – they're doing something quite different to what I've heard before!
Next up was David Robinson from The Cold Heart Revue – with Ella arriving having had a tiresome journey he perhaps didn't get the attention he deserved, I was left with an impression of accomplished and gritty blues rock with plenty of slide guitar and harmonica – one song just involved harmonica and vocals, guitar left dormant – it sounded great! He finished up with Jailhouse Rock – definitely deserved closer attention.
The very familiar Brad Dear was up next, on his own this time – he was on good form and blasted through a pretty impressive number of songs in a short set! Far Away kicked us off on his folksy odyssey of wanderlust. Long Road Home led into reminiscing about Billy Brown before the travel theme returned with a vengeance with The Only Road That I Know, Special Brew (with attendant conga line led by Joel) and Leave It All Behind.
Brad too couldn't resist a cheeky cover, throwing Wagon Wheel into the mix before heading on back to his own material – Save Our Souls, a new song as yet unnamed and without a chorus, and finishing up with I'm Still Here and Festival Bar Blues. Cracking set – Brad is sounding fresh – and always a pleasure to have the chance to catch up with the rest of Clan Dear as well!
Next up were These Wicked Rivers – a new act on me, pretty heavy bluesy rock is the note I made, they made a great impression as I went and picked up a CD after their set (which I've yet to get a chance to listen to, but I'm looking forward to it!). They didn't let slip what their first three songs were called, although the cover of Keep On Rocking In The Free World caught the ear given that it's a staple of The Star Copiers set list. This sounded quite different!
When The War Is Won was an original song title I did pick up, followed by a cover of All Along The Watchtower which blended into Hit The Road Jack. There was a mass instrument change for most of the band before they finished off the set with more original songs of indetermined titles. I liked these a lot though, although as they were closing off there was definite excitement amongst the womenfolk as the next act arrived on the scene…
John Fairhurst is someone I was only familiar with because Pete showed us some videos of him playing after Estival earlier in the year. He's an unfeasibly talented guitarist with a guttural snarling voice. As he set up Caroline, Becky and Ella stationed themselves front and central as the now shirtless performer got himself sorted with the sound engineer. The note I made was 'filthy finger picky blues goodness with a stomp box' – that doesn't really do it justice!
Up on the Hill kicked off the set, followed by An Evening When The Sun Goes Down – an intricate instrumental odyssey which he casually said when it finished that it was just something he's been working on! Hungry Blues was the only other song title I picked up – but as with the previous band I picked up one of the CDs he'd brought with him – I'm looking forward to getting more acquainted with his music.
After John had finished there was a bit of an exodus of familiar faces – Mark, Caroline, Dan, Kiara, John and Angela – as they headed to Dronfest in time to catch Ferocious Dog. Michael and Becki had decided to stay having pondered the switch. I must admit, it hadn't even occurred to me to do both, I was more than happy to stick to the one event for the day – after all, we get a double dose of Ferocious Dog at Farmer Phil's – can't wait!
The Outlines were next – their raw punk quite the contrast from John Fairhurst but it worked well for me – Waiting, Fall To The Drop and Sound of Rain kicked off a fast-paced set. Calm Down was next before they too snuck a cover in with their awesome rendition of Guns of Brixton. Kyle was struggling a bit with his voice, but managed to power through Vanilla Poison, Streets of England and Static before they departed.
I managed to completely neglect to take a photo of them too! Not that my photos have been much cop from this event really, so I've plonked one in from Deerstock. Oops. Sorry chaps!
Having missed Dirty Vertebrae at Deerstock we were excited to get to see them here (indeed, this gig was part of the decision-making process at Deerstock!). Ella shunned her moped-fall injuries for a dance – the band kicked in in their inimitable fusion of hip hop, funk, rock and heaven knows what else. Slick Smile started, followed up with We Do What We Want then the new reggae-infused song I've yet to learn the name of. They dedicated it to Matt who had to make a hasty dash from covering the bar to have a dance!
A song whose titled escaped me followed, then the very familiar Melody before new song Taking Over kicked in in frenetic style. Speaking of which, you should check out their their video for this song (below) – Michael mentioned it to me having spotted it on Facebook, I hadn't seen it at all despite having them on 'see first' so maybe you missed it too – pesky Facebook and its pesky restricting of who it shows things to at times!
The rest of the set seemed to rush by in a blur – Burial and Living Doll were certainly in there amongst two or three other songs. Loud demands for an encore were heeded with some time made up over the course of the afternoon – so we were treated to Be Yourself and finally Outta Here. Awesome set – certainly went down well with the familiar faces amongst us but I'm sure the good folk of Thorne must've loved it too!
The final act as dusk was settling in was Flight Brigade. Ella is convinced we've seen them before but I'm not so sure. With a darkening sky and a minimalistic strip of LED lighting illuminating the stage it made the keyboard swirling intro all the more atmospheric – with a fiddle, guitars, bass and drums it certainly promised to be a full on sound. I'm not sure how to describe it – progressive funk folk rock? Meh, who needs labels? It was an engaging wall of sound!
They kicked off with 39 Steps and took us on a journey of unrevealed song names – intermittently tell us track names like The Phantom or Tearaway. It was engrossing to watch and hear – Our Friends Our Enemies a particular highlight – documenting the heroism of the forced workers under the Nazis who sabotaged the munitions they were working on to limit damage to the allies. They finished up with When The Water Whispers before an encore that I didn't catch the name of.
They've got an album out – Our Friends Our Enemies – I'll be certainly picking it up, I found them intriguing. I don't know if they had CDs with them but I'd already spent my CD allocation on previous acts!
A quick pack down followed – we helped a little bit, at least by distracting the kids whilst Becky, Pete and crew did the bulk of the work (turns out Pokemon Go and a phone handed to a child is a great distraction technique – who knew?) before we headed back for the now traditional post-party-in-the-park takeaway pizza order, drink and natter before taking ourselves off to bed – it'd been a long ol' day – but a bloody good one!
I was gonna stick Sunday's shenanigans in the same post but I think it probably stands having its own entry, so I'd best get cracking on that!…

I am an outright fraud, full of heresy.
I am a two-faced demon.
I am a scoundrel.
I am a hypocrite at best.
I speak love and hate in the same breath. I selfishly look with one perverse eye, and I tenderly see with the other. I give generously with my left hand, and I greedily take with my right hand. One ear listens with empathic understanding, the other hears with misguided judgment. My right leg jumps up and runs to help, simultaneously my left leg is running away with spineless cowardice. One large foot audaciously meanders the wide path, and the other timidly tip-toes the narray way. I breathe life and kindness into humanity with one lung. And I suck joy and good out of the atmosphere with my other. On one bended knee with humility, on the other to duck and hide away. With one arm I do hold on for dear life, while with the other I cannot let go quickly enough. I know exactly who I am with my right brain, while my left side brain has never even met me.
I am a cocktail of simple syrup and poison.
Meet me and feel valuable.
Know me and feel desperate.
I am confident and sorry.
I am delightful and terrible.
I am a blessing and a curse.
I am a sunrise and a storm.

Elderflower Cordial
Although elderflower cordial requires pouring some boiling water, and therefore very little children can't complete the whole process, there is so much they can help with.
They can help to find and pick the elderflower heads, wash them and take all the creepy crawlies out of them, strain them off and then enjoy the results.
They will enjoy the magic of the fact that they were picked for free!
Here is a nice version of an elderflower cordial recipe. It's from the folks over at Gardening With Children.
Salad Dressing in a Jar The easiest way for children to learn to make a salad dressing is to assemble the ingredients in a jar and give it a really good shake. Dressings need a really good mix in order to emulsify, and shaking it is quite a good way to do that without getting an achey arm whisking or splashing everywhere. This video version from Look and Taste Tips youtube channel is a mustard one (because it was made to give a great tip about using up the last sc...
Frozen Banana Crunch Popsicles This is a fun alternative to an ice lolly, with a portion of fruit shoehorned in. We found it on Baking Bites and there are clear instructions there on how to make it. Because the banana is frozen and has a sweetened crunchy coating it feels more of a treat. We have also seen versions using crushed up Special K type cereals - especially good are the ones with the berries as you get little flakes of chewy red in the coating. You can use a pes...
Celery Stalk Rose Prints This is a lovely idea I saw on Maureen Cracknell's Homemade site. It's a cute thing to do next time you have a recipe which needs a whole head of celery in one go and therefore you cut off the stump rather than peeling individual stalks, or you can do the same with a head of crunchy lettuce. So next time you have one of those recipes, get your paints out and let your kids make some pretty art or some greetings cards. The original is h...

Are You Missing Out on These Seven Ways to Get High-Ranking Long-tail Keywords?
Getting your site's content to rank is serious work, especially for competitive keywords. For long-tail terms that bring traffic from variety of keywords, it's unlikely you'll have the resources to optimize for every term in the same way as you would for primary keywords.
Although long-tail terms have lower search volumes individually, there's often less competition, more overall searches, and can often be better for converting traffic. So instead of ignoring long-tail optimization, your efforts must be efficient and focused.
If you have limited time and resources but want to maximize long-tail traffic, here's how to get your content to rank.
1. Optimize with keyword qualifiers
An easy way to make long-tail terms from head keywords is to tack on qualifiers that make keywords more specific. This has a twofold advantage: Google looks for these terms when deciding how to rank content and earchers also use these terms when they have a particular question or a certain intent.
For example, say you're targeting terms related to "textbooks." Using a tool like Ubersuggest, we can find qualifiers to generate effective long-tail results. A few types include:
Intent: "textbooks for sale" or "textbooks for rent"
Location: "textbooks Austin" or "textbooks library"
Date: "textbooks tax deductible 2012"
Price: "textbooks for cheap" or "textbooks used"
In all these cases, the key term of "textbook" has become more specific in what the searcher is looking for while likely becoming less competitive for the search term.
Once you know which terms to target, either mix these modifications into your content or create additional pages or articles that address these search terms.
2. Interlink between posts
While your long-tail strategy probably can't and won't involve much manual linkbuilding for every key term, the links you can get easily 100% of the time are your own.
In addition to linking with hubs, link back to other content from your archives. Creatively interlink within your own content library when it's useful and makes sense. Make linking to 2-3 posts in your archive a step for every new piece of content you write.
These links should use varied anchored texts, which both helps attract traffic from a variety of long-tail terms as well as over Google's over-optimization penalties that have become a recent threat.
3. Create hubs with long-tail content
A content hub is essentially content with a related theme. Creating an effective hub involves creating more specific content around that theme on different pages and then interlinking the content.
Explained in depth in this SEOmoz post, a hub is most effective when there's a center landing page that then links out to the spoked content from there. In their example, "Super Bowl recipes" is the main page with "tailgate guacamole," "touchdown cole slaw," and other recipe pages linked to and from the main recipe page.
The beauty of this strategy is it's easy for publishers to link back and forth between these topics. The main pages also serves as the authority page where search visitors can land and instantly find several other pages of content that are useful to them.
Finding the right key terms to target in content hubs is an important part of the process. HitTail makes this easy. Instead of trying to make sense of your traffic in Google Analytics then doing even more keyword research to find new terms, HitTail analyzes your current traffic automatically and provides a list of promising keywords to target. From there, you simply publish the content and wait for search traffic to come.
4. Include topical references
Work in related terms to the topic you're writing about that come from keyword research. For example, if my article is about "long-tail content," Google is likely to recognize topical references including "white hat SEO," "long-tail keywords," and more.
These related phrases are easily found using the Google Adwords tool. While they made be included in your content naturally, they can be important for ranking for a variety of terms related to your main topic. Doing so can be more effective for a variety of long-tail terms rather than repeatedly mentioning the same head terms in hopes of ranking for just one phrase.
5. Diversify keyword phrases
Rather than worrying about keyword density of your content, benefit from diversifying the phrases you're using.
Instead of dropping in the phrase "used textbooks" a dozen times, mix in "textbooks for sale" or "cheap textbooks" for full effect. Using a variety of related terms can bring in traffic from a variety of search terms as well as prevent over-optimization penalties from unnatural and excessive use of the same keyword.
6. Spend time on titles
The title of your content is one of the most important factors for both how your content ranks and how effective it is in generating long-tail traffic. Because if this, make sure to spend a few minutes optimizing and perfecting the title before you publish.
One hack: creatively optimize title tags for both searchers and search engines. Search Engine Watch notes: "While it's true that only the first 65 characters will be displayed in search results, it is equally true that keywords found after the 65th character will be recognized and counted in the ranking algorithms of major search engines."
The strategy for this is simple: use the first 65 characters to attract attention and earn the click in organic search. Use characters after that to target long-tail terms that may be less important to human searchers yet will still be recognized by search engines to rank your content.
7. Make it hard for Google to hate your content
Since the Panda update, Google has been on the lookout for low-quality content. While we don't know exactly what and how Google ranks this content, this post from the Google Webmaster Central Blog gives a lot of hints at how Google designs its algorithms to determine quality.
Some highlights from this lengthy list include:
Spelling and stylistic mistakes as well as articles that aren't well-edited or "appear sloppy or hastily produced."
Poor site design that isn't user-friendly and/ or has too many ads (which Google has punished before).
Redundant content featuring multiple articles that vary keywords and focus only slightly.
Short articles that don't provide much depth on a topic.
Your content doesn't have to win a Pulitzer, but high-quality content that's original, well-written, and presented to help readers is ultimately the content Google wants to feature with high rankings.
Have you used any of these strategies or others to maximize long-tail traffic?

text: Large landslide dams are one of the most destructive natural phenomena. They frequently occur in tectonically active orogenic belts with narrow and steep valleys. Nepal hosts many large landslide dams, some of which must have been caused by past earthquakes. The Mw 7.8 Gorkha Earthquake of 25 April 2015 and its aftershocks triggered off many shallow failures with only a few landslide dams that were either very short-lived or only partially blocked the river course. The area affected by the earthquake belongs to the Lesser Himalayan Sequence, Higher Himalayan Crystallines, and the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence. The severely affected area is made up of such resistant rocks as quartzites, gneisses, granites, marbles, and schists. These rocks have generally three discontinuity sets, which are almost perpendicular to each other. A detailed analysis of dip slopes, anti-dip slopes, and dip-normal slopes in the earthquake-affected area revealed that the dip-normal slopes were the most vulnerable ones. Many rockslides and rock falls began from the crest and created long runout paths. The potential sites of landslide damming can be inferred by analysing morphometric parameters together with seismic, geological, hydro-meteorological, and anthropogenic factors. Such damming sites were identified heuristically at various locations of the major rivers, based on the criteria discussed above. Since the earthquake-triggered failures were concentrated mainly on steep slopes with a high internal relief, a hazard map was prepared by combining the safety factor map with the slope map and the internal relief map. There is a good correspondence between the high hazard zones and the heuristically identified potential sites of landslide damming

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that is transmitted between humans by Aedes mosquitoes. The disease manifests as flu-like illness with symptoms including high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash. Occasionally it develops into a potentially lethal complication called severe dengue. Severe dengue is a leading cause of hospitalization and death among children in some Asian and Latin American countries.
Dengue is currently the most widely spread mosquito-borne disease in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. . Reports of dengue and severe dengue epidemics in the Eastern Mediterranean region started in 1998 and have increased in frequency and spread ever since, with outbreaks occurring in Djibouti, Egypt, , Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Serological evidence of circulation of dengue fever has also been reported from Jordan in recent time. All the four serotypes of dengue virus have been known to have circulated in the Eastern Mediterranean Region during the outbreaks.
A vaccine with varying level of effectiveness for each of the four dengue viruses is available (and others are being researched, see below), and WHO has issued a conditional recommendation on the use of the vaccine for highly endemic areas. Once infection has occurred, there is no specific treatment for dengue fever, although for severe dengue early detection and access to proper medical care can reduce case fatality significantly (below 1%). Although recovery from infection by one of the serotypes provides lifelong immunity against it, cross-immunity is only partial and subsequent infections by other serotypes increase the risk of developing severe dengue.
WHO efforts in reducing dengue focus on supporting countries' efforts regarding surveillance, case management, and technical policy and guideline formulation.

A real-world project got a lot more real – and rewarding – when civil engineering students from the University of Waterloo returned to an elementary school for the recent grand opening of a new playground structure.
The engineering students were part of a novel, competitive process to design the $75,000 structure last year after twice meeting with pupils at nearby Keatsway Public School in Waterloo to listen to their ideas and feedback.
Its ultimate success was obvious to Adam Rywak, Rodrigo Santalla and Daniel Qi when excited kids streamed by them to try out the two-part, jungle-themed structure after a ceremonial ribbon-cutting.
"It looks like our clients are 100-per-cent satisfied with the product we created for them," says Rywak, one of about 140 students in a first-year mechanics class who took part in the project.
"It actually feels like we did something meaningful for the local community," adds Qi.
The importance of consulting customers was one of the key lessons that lecturer Rania Al-Hammoud hoped her students would take away from the project.
Worth 15 per cent of final marks in the class, the assignment included a pitch to pupils at an assembly and a vote on the top three designs by the school community at a fun fair a year ago.
"It worked," Al-Hammoud says of the 18-month process. "We did something and we have an outcome which is beneficial for everybody."
Penny Miller, the principal at Keatsway, is just as pleased with the finished play structure and the consultation with her pupils along the way.
"I think that's why they're so invested in it," she says. "They really feel this is their playground because they helped to make it happen."
The playground opening was part of an event featuring entertainment, displays, games and food trucks to celebrate the school's 40th anniversary.
Swarms of kids showed their approval by climbing, swinging and sliding on the completed structure.
"Very fun," says Caitlin Mooring, 8. "I like the height of it and how big it is."
After word of the Keatsway effort spread, a similar playground project – this time involving first-year environmental and geological engineering students – was launched at Vista Hills Public School in Waterloo.

GameSetPics: ACMI's IGF Exhibition Scans, Buscaglia Help
August 20, 2007 8:04 AM | Simon Carless
So, a couple of Independent Games Festival that we'd like to point out (DISCLAIMER: I help run the IGF alongside good lieutenants Matthew Wegner and Steve Swink). In the first case, the organizers have announced that "...finalists and winners of this year's festival will be awarded with free assistance and consultation with 'Game Attorney' Thomas H. Buscaglia."
This is neat news because, from what I heard, many IGF finalists nowadays do get hit with approaches from publishers large and small - and knowing what to sign and how in terms of distribution/publishing contracts is absolutely a big deal in today's indie game market. Many thanks to Buscaglia, one of the most developer-friendly lawyers around, for stepping up to help out here.
Anyhow, on to the main part of this post, which we've previously mentioned on GameSetWatch, is that the Australian Center For The Moving Image has been putting on an IGF exhibition (which may be extended - look for info on this soon!) Anyhow, I got round to scanning in the neat brochure and some fetching postcards they've been giving out alongside the Melbourne-based exhibit, so here they are...

Dr. Josh Davies of King's College London will give a presentation titled "The Middle Ages as Property: Nationalism, Race and Medieval Studies in Europe and the U.S." on Monday, February 26, at 4 p.m. in Tribble Hall's DeTamble Auditorium.
This lecture is sponsored by the Wake Forest University Medieval and Early Modern Studies program.
Dr. Davies' presentation will explore some of the ways in which medieval studies is bound up in ideas about nationhood and race. Drawing on Cheryl Harris' 1993 essay "Whiteness as Property" (view on JSTOR), the presentation examines how four scholars of the early Middle Ages—Grímur Jónsson Thorkelin, N.F.S. Grundtvig, J.M. Kemble, and Thomas Jefferson—imagined medieval culture not only to be the property of particular social groups but also to reveal important qualities of those groups. Reading their work alongside the Old English poem Beowulf, Davies argues that the critics' labours reveal the precariousness of modern racial and national identities even as they attempt to secure them.
Josh Davies is a medievalist who specializes in Old English literature, visual and material culture, and medievalism. His research interests include the intersections between history, poetry and visual culture in the early medieval period; perceptions of the environment in medieval Britain; post-medieval reception of medieval culture; and museology and ways of knowing the medieval past. His current research focuses on cultural memory in and of medieval Britain, and recent projects have included a study of Gothic architecture in North America and an essay on environment, gender, and community in the Life of St Mildrith. For more details, please see his full research profile.

Are you one of those people who struggle with fluctuation of weight? If you are anything like me one day you're feeling on top of the world and every street pavement is your personal catwalk and you've allowed total strangers to buy a ticket to watch your catwalk show. Other days you want to crawl back under your covers and sleep the whole week through for fear people might notice the additional water gain around your tummy area.
No matter the reasons, you managed to gain a few pounds. of course, you are starting a diet but the problem won't solve itself overnight. in the mean time you need to hide somehow the fat tissue. Here are a few tips to give you a little helping hand in the wardrobe department when you're having one of those weeks or months.
Hiding the belly
When women gain a few ponds they usually deal with a great amount of water tissue on their abdomens. In this case you must avoid tight blouses or sweaters. Just wear something with a "V" shaped décolleté to distract the attention from your belly. Dark colours are also great and recommended because they create the optical impression of a slim silhouette, so try to wear colours like: dark read, dark blue and black.
Fat tissue on your legs?
You're finding that you can't close the zipper of your jeans anymore? This doesn't mean your belly grew up over night, it simply means you are wearing high pants that is not willing to play ball with your new found body shape.
Try and wear some pants that are lower and also a sweater with medium length that will go down as far as your knees.
Even though your supermodel self is taking a vocation she will be back so in the mean time you should consider high-heels because even if you are a little chubby they will give you more confidence and they will create the sensation of a long leg therefore your silhouette will appear slimmer.
And a last trick: hats, gloves, earrings and any kind of accessories kind do wonders to your overall outfit style. The explanation is quite simple actually: When people around you take a glance at your accessories their attention will be distracted from the things you don't want them to see and this way you won't have to deal with remarks like:" Did you gain some weight?".
Of course we're going to give them a pass on this occasion, they're not aware that this is one of those weeks so we have to keep our cool, we're soon be back to selling tickets to our debut catwalk show.
The key to hiding those extra pounds is to know the way you should dress. Choosing the right clothing will make you look unchanged until you manage to regain your ideal weight.

Computer is extensively used now-a-days all over the world for numerous purposes. Computer has many benefits as well as many drawbacks. The technology of under soil heating remains to be exclusive to the richer prime flight golf equipment. This permits them to maintain a properly maintained pitch, which is not saturated with water from the rain. This permits a better high quality of football to play as the upper layer of the turf stays intact and the group even, in contrast to the boggy uneven pitches of present lower leagues and even the richest clubs within the 20th century.
The analogue computers are computer System that measure variation in quantities equivalent to temperature, voltage, velocity, and so forth. For instance the speedometer in a automotive measures the modifications or variation in speed as the automotive strikes. The Thermometer takes readings in accordance to modifications in temperature. This does not require ability for storage because the readings are taken and comparability are made in a single operation.
CSE 597: Efficiency Evaluation Broad introduction to computer system performance analysis methods and their utility. Contains measurement/benchmarking, stochastic and trace pushed simulation, stochastic queuing networks, and timed Petri nets. Applications of the strategies are studied utilizing case research papers. CSE majors solely. Not open for credit to college students who've completed CSE 543.
The primary practical stored-program computer to provide a daily computing service, EDSAC is built at Cambridge College using vacuum tubes and mercury delay lines for reminiscence. The EDSAC project was led by Cambridge professor and director of the Cambridge Computation Laboratory, Maurice Wilkes. Wilkes' ideas grew out of the Moore College lectures he had attended three years earlier. One major advance in programming was Wilkes' use of a library of quick packages, referred to as subroutines," stored on punched paper tapes and used for performing frequent repetitive calculations inside a beer program.
But for the IoT to succeed in its full potential will require some solution to make sense of the torrents of data that billions of embedded chips will throw off. The IoT chips themselves won't be as much as the duty: the chip embedded in a sensible paving slab, for example, must be as low-cost as possible, and really frugal with its energy: since connecting individual paving stones to the electrical energy network is impractical, such chips should scavenge energy from warmth, footfalls or even ambient electromagnetic radiation.

Missed this week's New Music Monday on Nerve Radio? Fear not, you can get the details on all the fresh tracks we played on the latest show right here!
This week Joshua Coase was joined by Nerve Now Comment/Review Writer John Rose. You can view their favourite new tracks they picked for this week along with some artist/track information below!
You can listen to all of this week's tracks on our Spotify playlist here!
Joshua Coase's Tracks Of The Week
Zak Abel – Still Want UUU
Zak Abel has just released his debut album, Only When We're Naked, which features the singles All I Ever Do (Is Say Goodbye) and The River.
Zak first appeared on Gorgon City's U.K. top 20 hit Unmissable back in 2014 and also worked with Avicii and Wookie the following year before making his own music.
Still Want UUU is an uptempo dance track and a contrast to the rest of the tracks featured on the show this week.
This song has a very catchy chorus and has the makings of becoming a big hit for the English singer songwriter, particularly if it gets remixed into a dance track.
Zoology – 100°
Zoology are quite quickly becoming one of my favourite new bands, creating songs which are strikingly different to anything else I've heard in 2017.
The dream pop duo use a combination of electric guitars, synth instruments and syncopated drum beats to create a perfect summer sound track. Add that in with a clear jazz influence in their music and you've got something quite unique.
What is great about this band is their story and the fact that they first formed and collaborated from two separate countries. Emily Krueger and Beau Diakowicz first connected over the web via Instagram. Having been mutual admirers of each other's work, they wrote and released their first song Escape without ever having met.
That track went on to get over 2 million streams on Spotify and with that success the duo met soon after and started working on new material.
My favourite track of their's, Maroon, came out in August and is definitely a must-listen-to. Their new song 100° follows a similar style and is perfect for all you easy-listening music fans!
Lauv – Easy Love
Ari Staprans Leff, known by his stage name Lauv has just realised his second single of 2017, following the success of his hit I Like Me Better, one of my favourite pop tracks of the year.
Lauv made a name for himself in 2015 when he released his debut single The Other, since then his focus has primarily been writing for other artists, including Demi Lovato.
The American singer songwriter will be supporting Ed Sheeran during his Divide Tour in Asia this autumn.
Easy Love is a very laidback track with minimalistic backing and Ari lets his vocals and synth pad skits do the talking.
Weezer – Weekend Woman
What separates this band from the other artists featured on this week's show is that although this is new music from Weezer, they are from being a new band.
The American alternative-rock grouped formed in 1992 and are soon to release their 11th studio album, which will be titled Pacific Daydream.
Weekend Woman is the fourth single to be released from the LP, which is due for release on October 27th this year.
This track definitely has a contemporary indie rock vibe but also has older usical influences in the Middle 8 section of the song. I detect musical influence from the Beach Boys and The Beatles with regards to that sections structure and the harmonies the band use.
John Rose's Tracks Of The Week
Track reviews below written by John Rose
Felix Jaehn – Like A Riddle (Feat. Hearts & Colors & Adam Trigger)
German DJ Felix Jaehn follows up his two previous 2017 singles (Hot2Touch and Feel Good) with tropical house track Like a Riddle. The catchy song features Swedish accoustic duo Hearts & Colors and French DJ Adam Trigger.
Jaehn first came into music with a collaborative remix of Phil Collins' Another Day in Paradise with Alex Schulz in 2013, but gained mainstream attention with his remix of Jamaican artist OMI's Cheerleader, which I heard about 500 times in first year.
The German has plans to release his debut studio album in 2018, with February being the rumoured release month.
Brookes Brothers – Flashing Lights (Feat. Shezar & Bossman Birdie)
Drum and bass veterans the Brookes Brothers release their second single of the year titled Flashing Lights. The upbeat song features the singer Shazer, sister of fellow British singer Labrinth and grime artist Bossman Birdie.
This track sounds like a classic club hit and if performed as part of a live DJ set would be sick. The brothers, Dan and Phil, have been active in the music scene since the mid-2000s, working with renowned DJ Sub Focus in the past. The experienced D & B pair have received praise from DJ heavyweights Andy C and Zane Lowe.
The duo have held residencies at London nightclubs Fabric and Herbal, performing DJ sets nationally and internationally. The pair's upcoming album Orange Lane in October 2017 is under record label Viper Recordings, owned by Futurebound.
Craig David – For the Gram
Craig David is one talented artist. The 36-year-old from Southampton uses Instagram as a model for his latest release, For the Gram. Whatever the current musical trend seems to be, David manages to nail meeting it with his songs.
For the Gram has a catchy beat, a good flow and easy to remember lyrics. The singer returned to the spotlight in 2014, but this latest release is probably my favourite song of his.
The song has club vibes, pre-drinking vibes and the vibes that anyone and everyone could enjoy it. It's easy to listen to and has the mainstream appeal that nowadays seems so important.
The singer-songwriter has his seventh album due for release in January 2018, named The Time is Now under Sony's record label. Given how this song sounds and how his past releases have been flawless, it's definitely an album I'll be listening to.
Star.One – We Run The Show (Feat. Asher & D, P Money)
This is the song out of the four that'll probably divide opinion the most. Star.One, a British duo who describe themselves as making 'soundsystem music', get together with rapper/actor Ashley Walters (known by his stage name as Asher D) and grime artist P Money for their song We Run the Show.
The hard hitting track mixes a slick beat with some powerful vocals with a smooth flow. I hadn't heard of Star.One or Asher D prior to this release, but with how much I liked this song I can guarantee I'll be searching for more of their work. Star.One have performed DJ mixes on Radio 1 XTRA while also performing sets in clubs.
The couple of DJs are definitely under the radar with under five thousand followers on Twitter, but I would definitely recommend checking these guys out.
Joshua Coase's Album Of The Week
JP Cooper – Raised Under Grey Skies
JP Cooper first made a name for himself featuring on Jonas Blue's club hit Perfect Strangers back in June last year, 15 months on and a couple of hits later now he has released his debut album.
September Song caught my attention, as I'm sure it did for many of you, its catchy chorus and poignant lyrics made it an instant hit and the rest of the tracks on this LP showcase JP's talent for songwriting.
The artist from Middleton, Greater Manchester, armed with his guitar and strong distinctive vocals has a nice blend of uptempo tracks including two of my favourite album tracks Good Friend and All This Love, as well as slower tracks such as Closer and Wait.

While much of India was suffering a period of economic downturn, the fiscal year 2001-2002 saw the wind business thrive -- with the largest increase in capacity since 1995-96 and a new renewable energy policy proposal finally laid before parliament. The policy, part of the Electricity Bill 2001, calls for all state governments to produce at least 10% of their total power generation from renewable sources by 2012. This target would be mandatory.
Despite the good news, the Indian wind community remains uneasy about the state of the market. Concerned about the future survival of the wind industry in India, market players cite irregular wind policies, low tariffs, and a reduction in the level of tax depreciation on wind plant equipment as problems that need urgent attention.
A total of 277 MW installed in the year up to the end of March -- a 20% increase on the previous fiscal year -- was installed during 2001-2002, taking the cumulative installed wind capacity to 1617 MW, according to figures announced by the Ministry of Non Conventional Energy Sources (MNES) at its recent conference, Implementation Strategy for Renewable Energy Programmes for the 10th Plan (2002-2007). The cumulative capacity for all renewables is now 3468 MW, of which 1313 MW was added during the 9th plan (1997-2002). Of this, 726 MW came from wind. Four states accounted for 80% of the renewables capacity added -- Maharashtra, (447 MW, most from wind), Tamil Nadu, (234 MW, wind and biomass), Andhra Pradesh (205 MW, biogas and hydro) and Karnataka (181 MW from bagasse and wind).
Despite this growth, conference delegates were told that targets for renewables for the tenth plan period have been revised down from the original target of 4236 MW. "We will now roll back targets for the tenth plan to 3300 MW as we have been allotted a lower budget of $208 million," explained Ajit Gupta of MNES. Of this, 2000 MW is planned to come from wind. For the year 2002-2003 wind is expected to contribute 200 MW, half of the total renewables target for the year.
Poor state policies
Gupta noted that while 14 states had announced "some sort of policies as per our guidelines, most are not following them in total. We hope within six months to one year the electricity bill will become law so that we can be on a firm footing through a uniform participation by all states." If the bill is not approved meeting the 10% renewables by 2012 will be an "impossible task," he said.
Girish Tanti of Suzlon Energy, the countries dominant wind turbine manufacture of late, agreed. "The market growth in the coming years will depend on favourable policies at a state and central level. To achieve this target the renewable energy program needs support from associated market players like the investors, manufacturers, financial institutions, government and, most important, utilities."
Of immediate concern to the wind industry is the reduction of depreciation from 100% to 60%. In the long term a reduction is unlikely to pose a problem, but the Indian Wind Energy Association warned that in cash-starved times the increased cost of replacing equipment would result in projects losing their viability. Sarvesh Kumar of RRB Vestas agreed, suggesting investors will be reluctant to reinvest in projects. "Already, wind energy has no additional benefits to fall back on," he noted.
Inconsistent state policies, as Gupta pointed out, have left a cloud of uncertainty lingering in the air. Maharashtra, which contributed 71% (197 MW) of the new wind capacity added last year, has withdrawn its policy altogether. The industry is now waiting for news of a performance-linked and tariff-based policy which the Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA) assures will be announced "soon". Similarly, in Gujarat industry has suffered the withdrawal of a favourable wind policy and is promised a new one "within the next two months." One industry sceptic summed up the mood: "Seeing is believing".
With profit margins wafer thin, Tamil Nadu's 4% introduction of sales tax from April 2002 is not much help either, while in states with good policies, such as Karnataka, the uncertainty is also polluting the atmosphere: "You never know when they might change their minds," said another industry voice.
The news is not all grim however. Kerala, adjoining Tamil Nadu, has approved its policy action plan, while Rajasthan continues to have a good policy. New wind projects in these states continue to be planned. "We have signed a three megawatt project for ITC hotels in Jodhpur," Rangarajan Balajee of Indowind announced at the conference. By September, Indowind expects to install 45 turbines totalling 10.15 MW in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, he added.

Coriander leaves have detoxifying, disinfectant and antifungal properties.
(Credit: Sauda Nabatanzi)
You have all probably seen small green leafy vegetables in either salads or sauces, mostly the meaty type like fish, chicken and beef.
It's the coriander leaves we are talking about here.
Olivia Nalugwa, a mother of two, says she never misses out on coriander in any of her meals because of the desirable aroma and taste they add.
"Most of us Africans consume coriander for its aroma but our counterparts in Asia and elsewhere in the world go further than that and use it for medicinal purposes ," says Bossa Nandala, nutritionist in Kampala.
Coriander leaves have detoxifying, disinfectant and antifungal properties that help to better the immune system of the body in a number of ways.
Nandala says these properties make coriander ideal when dealing with skin inflammation and disorders like eczema, dryness and fungal infections.
With these properties, it flushes out the unsafe fungi and bacteria from the human system.
Fridausi Ibrahim, a beautician in Kabalagala, says blending coriander leaves together with cucumber, oatmeal and milk in specified amounts makes one of the best facial masks for skin treatment.
According to Ian Ssembusi, a vegetable vendor at Nakasero market, coriander has no particular season; it grows throughout the year though it highly depends on how much it rains or shines in a particular season.
In case of extreme weather, it will rot away because it requires moderate weather to grow well.
Ssembusi says coriander does well in rich dark soils and it takes about a month from the time of planting to start harvesting.
Currently, a big bundle is between sh6, 000 and sh8, 000 where for small-scale, buyers a bunch ranges between shs1, 000 and sh1, 500.

May has been a stressful month – it started with my final year exam and ended up with my half-way assessment for my current placement. This is hopefully the last time I will be a student on placement so I am trying to spend as much time as possible learning from my educator and fellow students, whilst also trying to tick boxes in order to get the highest mark possible. Two weeks to go and counting! Here is what I have been loving this past month.
Strangers Again – Against The Current
Almost Forgot – Against The Current
Champagne – Lia Marie Johnson
Last Summer – Cimorelli
Sounds Good, Feels Good Mash-Up – Alycia Marie
Niki and Gabi are lifestyle and beauty YouTubers but they also have their own reality show on AwesomenessTV which follows them and their friends for a week at a time. This is the third season of the show and follows them to New York City – the City that never sleeps and therefore, neither does their drama. It is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.Life Makeover: Changing My Life/Girlboss – Nika Erculj
Nika has just gotten back from a trip to Malaysia and Sri Lanka which honestly looked incredible; I would recommend checking out her Instagram where she uploaded photographs from the trip. This video is her first video back following the trip and is all about how she is changing her life.We're Getting Married – Lucie Fink
Lucie is a video director at Refinery29, best known for her 5 Day Challenge or Lucie For Hire videos, but she also has a personal YouTube channel where she shares vlogs of her life. Her most recent one is of her engagement to her long-term boyfriend, Michael.My First Time: Getting Birth Control – Monica Church
As Monica says herself in the video, talking about Birth Control is often something that is lacking in the media. In this video, Monica talks about her experience of getting and taking Birth Control and acts as the big sister we all needed when we were younger.Trying Brittany Dawn's Healthy Starbucks Drinks! – Michelle Reed
It is a well-known fact that Starbucks drinks are high in calories and are generally considered not healthy. However, Brittany Dawn, a fitness coach, has discovered ways in which Starbucks drinks can be made healthier. In this video, Michelle tests whether the drinks actually taste good.BooksOn The Fence by Kasie West
For 16 year old Charlotte, being raised by a single dad and three older brothers has its perks. She can outrun, outscore and outwit every boy she knows, but when it comes to being a girl, Charlie doesn't know the first thing about anything. So when she starts working at a boutique to pay off a speeding ticket, she finds herself in a strange new world of make-up, lacy skirts and BeDazzlers. To cope with the stress of faking her way through this new reality, Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with Braden by the fence that separates them. But their Fence Chats cannot solve Charlie's biggest problem: she's falling for Braden.I remember when I first read this book a few years ago and thinking it was one of the cutest, boy-next-door, love stories I had ever read. It is the teenage romance that every girl dreams of, falling in love with your best friend. Sure it is cheesy and predictable, but I honestly read it with a smile on my face the entire time.
Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
For popular high school senior Samantha Kingston, February 12th – "Cupid Day" – should be one big party. And it is… until she dies in a terrible accident that night. However, she still wakes up the next morning. In fact, Sam lives the last day of her life seven times, until she realises that by making even the slightest changes, she may hold more power than she ever imagined.I watched the movie before I ever read the book but if you know me; you know that I am very much a book over movie person. Books always have details that the movies fail to capture and you can normally live in the story for longer. It is such a powerful book – the idea that seemingly small actions can have a huge impact on your future. I would recommend reading the book or at least watching the movie, especially since it stars Zoey Deutch.
