People are very good at moving in time to a beat. When you listen to your favourite song, you will probably find yourself nodding your head or tapping your foot along almost instinctively.
And when you’re doing it in a club, that piles pressure on your DJ. That DJ has to mix two songs together to maintain a common beat between the tracks if they want to keep the audience dancing. If they do a bad job of the mix, the two beat lines from each song won’t blend into each other. The most likely result of such a faux pas would be an instantly empty dance floor

Narendra Modi has been sworn in as India's new prime minister in a ceremony attended by his counterpart from rival Pakistan.

Mr Modi led his BJP party to a landslide win in the recent election.

The BJP won the biggest victory by any party in India for 30 years, gaining a majority in parliament and trouncing the outgoing Congress Party.

Monday's grand outdoor ceremony in front of the presidential palace was attended by the leaders of all seven South Asian countries as well as Mauritius.

10 Foods to Eat Every Day for Perfect Skin::

Are you tired of using different expensive and ineffective beauty products? It’s time to throw away all those ineffective products and start eating foods for perfect skin. I went from terrible acne five months ago to not having acne now. It was hard, but it was possible, and less expensive than turning to pricey products. While some foods can aggravate your skin, others can enhance it. Check out a list of 10 foods to eat every day for perfect skin.

1. Red bell peppers

Red bell peppers are a tasty vegetable that can be enjoyed either cooked or raw. One red bell pepper contains more than 100% of your daily vitamin C needs. It also contains significant amounts of dietary fiber and vitamin B6. Moreover, it is rich in carotenoids that can help prevent wrinkles and increase blood circulation to your skin, helping it look more youthful. Due to their carotenoids, red bell peppers are also great to fight acne.

A red bell pepper is a perfect, low calorie snack that contains about 30 calories and has a really satisfying crunchy bite. Keep slices of red bell peppers in the fridge, so you will always have something healthy and tasty to reach for when you are having a snack attack. The fiber that a bell pepper contains will help you to feel full longer with very little calories. Plus, you will have a flawless skin!

2. Dark chocolate

This is one of my favorite foods to eat every day for perfect skin! Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids and flavanols that promote glowing skin. The antioxidants in dark chocolate will help reduce roughness in your skin and protect it against sun damage. Moreover, cocoa relaxes arteries, increasing blood circulation that leads to healthier skin.

I usually buy cocoa powder or raw cacao for less fat. And if you like dark chocolate, eat your ounce of dark chocolate every day and make sure you choose at least 80% cacao content in order to avoid milk and added sugars found in a traditional chocolate bar.

3. Salmon

Salmon is an excellent food to fight stress, anxiety, and depression. Salmon also provides most of your daily vitamin D needs. And as you may already know, Vitamin D is responsible for keeping your heart, bones, colon and brain healthy. It also helps prevent colon cancer, anxiety, depression, heart disease and bone disease.

Salmon is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are excellent for fighting inflammation, wrinkles and acne. Its high omega-3 content also helps hydrate your skin from the inside out. Moreover, eating salmon keeps your scalp hydrated and promotes strong, healthy hair.

4. Coconut oil

Coconut oil is one of the richest sources of saturated fat with about 90 percent of calories as saturated fat. It contains lauric acid, a powerful antibacterial and antiviral agent that keeps away viruses, infections, inflammation and acne. Coconut oil is also rich in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which are perfect for keeping your skin moist, soft, and wrinkle-free.

I use coconut oil as a body cream and consume 1 tbsp. of raw coconut oil every day. Coconut oil is especially good for your thyroid. Plus, there’s considerable evidence that this oil can help lose weight. So many health benefits, don’t you think?

5. Green tea

Well, so I know green tea is actually a beverage, but tea leaves come from a plant! Even though I love black tea, I drink green tea every day because I know that it is a great source of antioxidants and a unique amino acid, L-theanine that helps relax your body and lower stress.

Sumptuous snacks await Narendra Modi's guest on Monday

IndiaToday.in  New Delhi, May 25, 2014 

 

The menu that will be served after Modi's oath-taking ceremony on the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan has largely been kept vegetarian.

The invitees to Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi's gala swearing-in ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan will be treated to a variety of mouth-watering dishes.

The menu that will be served after Modi's oath-taking ceremony on the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan has largely been kept vegetarian.

It will include dhokla, rasgulla, rajbhog, kachauri, imarti, mattar ki khasta potli, patties, sandwiches, cookies, khandvi, cutlets, vegetarian hariali kababs, cold drinks, tea and coffee.

Keeping in mind the varying tastes of foreign invitees, some non-vegetarian snacks might also be included in the list.

Following the footsteps of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Modi had expressed his desire to be sworn at the forecourt so that a large number of visitors can be accommodated. Even Chandrashekar had taken his oath as the prime minister on the same court.

Modi, who led BJP to an astounding victory in the Lok Sabha polls, will be sworn in as India's 15th Prime Minister on Monday at a grand function to be attended by foreign dignitaries including SAARC leaders.

Nearly 3,000 guests, including such top leaders from SAARC countries as Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, are due to attent the event.

President Pranab Mukherjee will administer the oath of office and secrecy to the 63-year-old Modi and his Council of Ministers in the presence of a host of leaders, including outgoing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and party vice presidentRahul Gandhi, besides leaders of other parties and chief ministers of a number of states.

Modi's mother Hiraba is also expected to attend the ceremony.

Besides Sharif and Rajapaksa, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai, Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay, Nepal Prime Minister Sushil Koirala and Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom will be among the foreign dignitaries attending the ceremony.

Bangladesh will be represented by Speaker Shirin Chaudhury as Premier Sheikh Hasina would be travelling to Japan at the time of the swearing-in ceremony.

This is the first time that the heads of states of SAARC nations have been invited to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the Indian Prime Minister.

Rashtrapati Bhavan staff keeping fingers crossed for good weather

Last Updated: Sunday, May 25, 2014

With all arrangements in place, Rashtrapati Bhavan officials are keeping their fingers crossed that the weather does not play spoilsport during Monday`s open air swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi.

"We're hoping the weather will hold, and there will be no squall or rain," said Omita Paul, secretary to President Pranab Mukherjee, briefing media Sunday on the arrangements. 

The weather office has predicted cloudy weather and thundery conditions in some places of the national capital.

In case it rains, the Rashtrapati Bhavan will provide umbrellas. "We will keep on standby around 1,000-2,000 umbrellas," said an official at the presidential palace. 

If it pours heavily, the swearing-in could be held in the Durbar Hall, which can hold around 500 people. 

"The adjacent rooms to the Durbar Hall can together hold around 350 people. In all, we would be able to accommodate around 800-900 guests," said Paul.

Drinking alone increases risky behaviour: psychologists

London: Want to avoid risky behaviour after consuming alcohol? Drink in a group. 

 

Being in a group when drinking moderate amounts of alcohol makes people view risk more cautiously, a new study has found. 

 

Psychologists from the University of Kent and the University of East Anglia found that individuals who consume moderate amounts of alcohol in social situations are likely to view risky situations with greater caution when considering them as part of a group. 

 

Researchers asked Kent students who were drinking in groups in bars and at a music festival at its Canterbury campus to decide what levels of risk they thought was acceptable before recommending someone should take various actions. 

 

They accepted a higher level of risk when they were drinking and deciding alone, rather than when they were drinking and deciding in a group of others. 

 

In the study, 101 participants aged 18-30 who were in groups were approached to take part. The researchers compared groups of people who were just under the drink-driving limit with groups that had not consumed any alcohol. 

 

The participants first gave their private judgements about how much risk they would accept before recommending a potentially risky action - for example, whether it would be acceptable to drive to collect a friend from an airport after drinking. 

 

They then re-joined the group and discussed a second problem and the group had to agree how much risk would be acceptable. 

 

"When intoxicated, it is known that people are more likely to engage in risky behaviour, including the use of illicit drugs, engaging in violent and other criminal activity and driving at dangerous speeds," said Dr Tim Hopthrow, of Kent's Centre for the Study of Group Processes. 

 

"Our findings confirmed that individual risk decisions are increased by higher alcohol consumption. 

 

"Our previous research, which had been conducted in laboratory conditions, showed that effects of alcohol consumption that affect people drinking alone, such as becoming riskier, are reduced or eliminated when people make judgements together with other drinkers in a group. 

 

"We wanted to establish whether this would hold true in real drinking situations outside the laboratory, such as a bar or concert, where there are many other influences at work. 

 

"Our findings showed that, even in these natural settings, social interaction in groups can reduce the tendency of individual drinkers to accept risks. 

 

"Alcohol consumers accepted more risk when deciding alone but the least risk when deciding as a group. We think that this is because drinkers in groups monitor one another closely, becoming more cautious when directly asked whether to take a risk," he said. 

 

The study is published in the journal Addiction.

Kolkata: Kolkata will soon have its 'Kolkata Eye' modelled on the 'London Eye', a giant ferris wheel, providing a magnificent view of the metropolis from a height of 120 metre.

The contract was awarded on Wednesday to a UK-based company for the construction of the 'Kolkata Eye' for Rs 300 crore, the sources said.

"It will be an icon of the great city of Kolkata and will enrich the ongoing river-front beautification project," Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said.

"This project, the first of its kind in size and magnitude in India, is already underway and is expected to be ready in a year's time," she said in a Facebook post.

The view of the skyline of metropolis from the 'giant wheel', she said, would be a tourist attraction.

Chennai: Popular singer Baba Sehgal, who recently made his acting debut in the Telugu period drama 'Rudhramadevi', is all set to play the antagonist in the upcoming thriller "Overdose" in the same language.

The director says the film reflects the lives of modern-day youth.

"The story revolves around the lifestyle of rich kids in our country and how they are getting attracted to drug abuse," he said.
