  • The US Navy formulas to calculate body fat percentage are an estimate, and, while there are more accurate methods to calculate body fat percentage other then the simple body fat calculator, none are as simple or as cost effective.

    This simple body fat calculator uses your gender, your height, and the circumference, or distance around, your neck, waist and hips.

    Note: The simple body fat calculator only uses the hip measurements calculate body fat percentage for women.

  • Introducing Elastic: A visual theme editor and theme engine
    for WordPress.

    A theme engine is a theme or plugin that changes the way WordPress renders themes. The difference is that a theme engine controls how the page is loaded, not how it looks.

    While there are about seven dozen accepted definitions for “theme framework”, we decided that there is a clear difference between the two. Theme engines are a level below themes entirely. All themes run on a theme engine, framework or not.

    WordPress’ default theme engine consists of the template hierarchy and a handful of other files like header.php, sidebar.php, and comments.php.

    For instance, you could write a theme engine that redirects every single page to the wikipedia article on Cabbage, but it wouldn’t be of much use. The Elastic theme engine is focused on creating module-based themes instead of page-based themes.

  • 1. Loans against gold: Banks and companies like Muthoot and Mannapuram offer loans against gold as a security. Some lenders load up to 80% of the value of gold jewellery.
    2. Sell physical gold or ETFs: Whether you own gold in physical form or in paper form (ETFs), you can consider selling to raise cash. If you go to a pawn shop, you might not get the best price. Don't forget your negotiation skills if you want to get the best rates.
    3. Gold deposit schemes: You can also deposit your gold into a gold deposit and earn interest on it. Some banks like SBI offer this service. Your gold will be converted into bars and you will get a certificate to the effect. At maturity, you have the option to get repayment either as gold or as cash. Rather than let gold lie idle, you can generate some income on it.
    4. Leasing your gold jewellery: This is practiced by retailers and beauty shops who provide wedding dresses. You can earn a rent on jewellery.

  • You should only buy a computer to meet your needs. Ask yourself what you will be using your computer for? If it's for simple email tasks or surfing the web – you don't need a big expensive machine with all the costy extras. If you're into video gaming or editing large video/graphic files you may need a more expensive fast computer with high-end quality graphics. In other words, choose the computer or laptop that will take care of your needs and tasks. Save your money by buying only what you need.

  • The unexpected presence of the Alzheimer's disease signature in more than one-third of cognitively normal subjects suggests that Alzheimer's disease pathology is active and detectable earlier than has heretofore been envisioned," Geert De Meyer of Ghent University in Belgium and colleagues wrote.

    They said measuring traces of beta amyloid and tau — two proteins associated with the telltale plaques and tangles that form in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's — accurately detected Alzheimer's in 90 percent of patients with the disease.

    They were also able to detect 100 percent of people with memory impairments who would progress to Alzheimer's disease within five years. And they detected Alzheimer's proteins in 36 percent of people with normal brain function.

    The study is the latest to show that measuring disease-related proteins in spinal fluid is useful in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease.Currently, only an autopsy can confirm that a person has Alzheimer's.

  • Researchers said on Wednesday they had found a new gene called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase, or NDM-1, in patients in South Asia and in Britain. NDM-1 makes bacteria highly resistant to almost all antibiotics, including the most powerful class called carbapenems, and experts say there are no new drugs on the horizon to tackle it.
