This week on The Reel Web, we take a look at some new statistics for online video viewing which show a drastic change in consumption of long-form video. We also discuss changes Youtube is making to its playlists and embeds, recent enhancements by Vimeo to provide quality music for your videos, streaming live gameplay, Twitch.tv, and E3 Live.
Long-Form Viewing Gets a Boost
To start off, let's have a look at these statistics on video viewing from the Global Video Index Report. I'd like to point out this one, specifically, which shows a drastic increase in long form video views. Videos greater than ten minutes comprised around half of all video views last quarter. Here is another chart to consider, which shows that tablets have actually passed desktop computers as devices for online video consumption.
The proliferation of TV's with internet capability has also contributed to more people watching online videos. In fact, that number has almost doubled in just about three months. According to this chart, back in January the average time for videos viewed on connected TV's was around seven minutes. Now that number is just short of thirteen minutes. For those of you who are creating longer videos, this is shift is obviously great news.
Youtube Adds Some New Playlist & Embed Features
Youtube has made playlists a bit more convenient with the release of a new bit of code which, when added to the embedded video code, shows the playlist in the embedded video. Youtube has also made it possible to include short clips of a video in your playlists, rather than the whole thing. This makes it easier for you to assemble relevant video playlists, while leaving out sections of the same videos that may detract from the theme. More info on these new features can be found here and here.
Live Streaming for Gamers Picks Up Momentum
Live streaming video content is a great method for interviews and conferences, but it doesn't have to be limited to "talking heads." More and more people are starting to stream all sorts of content, with one of the more popular types of content being video games. Youtube is getting in on this trend by streaming live video coverage of E3 over the next several days, but now there is also a service dedicated to streaming live video content.
Twitch.tv is a service that, once you install their client on your computer, allows you to stream any pc game that you play live to their website. This is a great tool for gamers, both for teaching and pure entertainment. Some games are even including this service in their programs, making it that much easier to post your gaming experience. This is a really cool idea, and I'm looking forward to seeing how far it gets in the gaming community.
New Music Options From Vimeo
For those of you who don't want to deal with the nightmare that is content royalties, Vimeo's new enhancer tool now offers some cool new options for including music in your online videos. You may have to pay a couple bucks, but the quality is very high compared to most of Youtube's stuff. The interface is also really easy to use, allowing you to edit everything in one place. You can also purchase the track, download it, and include it in your videos on Youtube if you prefer to do it that way.
QUESTION: Where do you get music for your videos?

US bombs militants in Iraq as crisis worsens
The U.S. unleashed its first airstrikes in northern Iraq against militants of the Islamic State group Friday amid a worsening humanitarian crisis. Video released by US Central Command also shows airdrops of food and water. Some video mute. (Aug. 8)
U.S. fighters dropped bombs on Islamic militants in Iraq Friday, the Pentagon said, carrying out President Barack Obama's promise of military force to counter the advancing militants. (Aug. 8)
IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — The U.S. unleashed its first airstrikes in northern Iraq against militants of the Islamic State group Friday amid a worsening humanitarian crisis. The extremists took captive hundreds of women from a religious minority, according to an Iraqi official, while thousands of other civilians fled in fear.
Many of America's allies backed the U.S. intervention, pledging urgent steps to assist the legions of refugees and displaced people. Those in jeopardy included thousands of members of the Yazidi religious minority whose plight — trapped on a mountaintop by the militants — prompted the U.S. to airdrop crates of food and water to them.
American planes conducted a second airdrop of food and water early Saturday for those trapped in the Sinjar mountains, said Pentagon chief spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby. Escorted by two Navy fighter jets, three planes dropped 72 bundles of supplies for the refugees, including more than 28,000 meals and more than 1,500 gallons of water, said Kirby, who spoke from New Delhi during a trip with U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
The extremists' "campaign of terror against the innocent, including the Yazidi and Christian minorities, and its grotesque and targeted acts of violence bear all the warning signs and hallmarks of genocide," said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. "For anyone who needed a wake-up call, this is it."
Underscoring the sense of alarm, a spokesman for Iraq's human rights ministry said hundreds of Yazidi women had been seized by the militants. Kamil Amin, citing reports from the victims' families, said some of the women were being held in schools in Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul.
"We think that the terrorists by now consider them slaves and they have vicious plans for them," Amin told The Associated Press. "We think that these women are going to be used in demeaning ways by those terrorists to satisfy their animalistic urges in a way that contradicts all the human and Islamic values."
For the U.S. military, which withdrew its forces from Iraq in late 2011 after more than eight years of war, the re-engagement began when two F/A-18 jets dropped 500-pound bombs on a piece of artillery and the truck towing it. The Pentagon said the militants were using the artillery to shell Kurdish forces defending Irbil, the capital of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, and home to a U.S. consulate and about three dozen U.S. military trainers.
Later Friday, the U.S. launched a second round of airstrikes near Irbil, U.S. officials said. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the strikes publicly, said unmanned aircraft hit a mortar and four Navy F/A-18 fighter jets destroyed a seven-vehicle convoy.

Large Base On Heavily Shorted Basic Energy Services (BAS) - 60% Pop Incoming? (Video)
Bill O' Neil, founder of Investor's Business Daily, always had a special fondness for big basing patterns on stocks. He constantly looked for "cup and handle patterns." That is, when a stock, which was dormant for a long period of time, makes a rounded bottom (the cup) before breaking out. This breakout is often met with increased selling, which sends the stock back down for a brief period (handle). Then, a surge of buyers enthusiastically rush in, which makes the dormant stock suddenly burst upward. This is exactly what I'm seeing in Basic Energy Service's stock.
In addition to the bullish base and breakout in the stock, the sentiment on the stock is decisively bearish. This suggests that, if the stock begins to rise, a short squeeze could accelerate the climb many fold. For the full video analysis of the stock, click here.

You Might Want To Buy Gas This Week – And Stop Using Oil To Forecast Gasoline!
A Sigh Of Relief, To End Shortly
The last month has provided a slight relief to the consumer, as the average price of gas declined over thirty cents per gallon since the Valentine's Day short term top. Of course, $3.65/gallon is hardly a relief, especially when compared against gas prices a decade earlier, but that's besides the point. The point is that, given current conditions, it appears that gas prices are about to make another thrust upward, and perhaps to new record highs, in the coming months.
Higher Oil Means Higher Gas, Right?
It's very intuitive, since crude oil is a major input in unleaded gasoline. However, it is only one of hundreds of the ingredients that go in the gas tank with each fill. Even so, the price of gasoline should follow the price of oil, right? Sort of.
A quick comparison of the ETF (NYSEARCA:USO), which tracks the daily percentage change of crude oil futures, and (NYSEARCA:UGA), which tracks the daily percentage change of unleaded gasoline futures, shows that the relationships that the price relationships that most would consider obvious are quite weak. For instance, the correlation between the two ETFs is 41%, which is only moderately statistically significant. Another relationship measurement, beta, shows that for every $1 crude oil goes up, gasoline only rises $0.69, but UGA is just under its 2008 highs, while USO is more than 40% off of its 2008 high.
For that reason, I suggest for most to use UGA to forecast gas price rises and falls instead of USO. For those who have access to futures charts, use the actual spot price charts of gasoline. In this post, I will be commenting on UGA.
Underlying Strength
The failure of a stock or commodity to become fully oversold represents strength in the underlying. Since November, gasoline has done just that. On the opposite side of that coin, if a stock or commodity becomes fully overbought, it shows strength in the underlying trend, and suggests that any existing uptrend is strong. In January and February, gas UGA became extremely overbought.
In addition, gasoline's decline was halted right at a key support zone before climbing three percent on Friday. The level that gasoline bounced off of was the 38.2% retracement of the entire rally since November, and also the 61.8% retracement of the smaller rally that began in mid-January. Such a strong support zone is expected to hold. If it does not, a proportional target to the downside would sit near $58.00, about 8.5% below the current price.
The Buy Signal
Price, in fact, gave the trader's buy signal on oil. The decline from Valentine's Day could be described as the consolidation period from a "flag pattern." The pattern is easiest to see on the 60-day chart. The $70 target corresponds to roughly a 10% advance from current levels, or gas prices around $4.05/gallon.
Given that the volume was weak on the breakout, I would take a half position on this breakout, and then after a pullback, if one occurs, enter the other half of the position. My stop would be around $60, but the probability of that occurring appears low.
For those who would rather not dabble in the commodity world and buy gasoline futures/ETFs, look back to the title. How about you just buy gas for your car today? Happy trading!

The Dollar Signal That Could Break The Bond Market (And Ignite Commodities) – What To Watch
The world currency devaluation scramble of central banks is still in full gear! Whether it be the Fed, the ECB, Bank of Japan, the People's Bank of China, or the Swiss National Bank, monetary authorities continually try to aim policy initiatives with a goal of devaluation without inflation. It is certainly a difficult goal, unless every government in the world has the same objective, which seems to be the case.
However, without explicit collusion of world leaders, world currency devaluation cannot be achieved in all countries. After all, one can only determine the value of a single currency by comparing it to another. In other words, even central banks with a desire to devalue a nation's currency may not be able to devalue it faster than another. Because of this, the nation's currency may actually become stronger. This article should provide some insight on the winners and losers of the world devaluation war.
One of the clear winners, thanks to Ben Bernanke's monetary policy, which is easy, easier than solving a colorless Rubix Cube, is the United States. Continuing its long term downtrend since 2000 it looks like the US Dollar is once again ready to take a further plunge in value. Yes, that would mean to expect higher prices; maybe not of most consumer goods, but definitely of energy, gold, and likely food.
Just as a quick side note, for gold bugs already getting excited about where this article is going, consider investing in gold denominated in Euros or Australian Dollars. Both currencies have been particularly strong and will likely continue their rises into the future. Therefore, investing in gold this way can achieve even greater returns via both gold and currency appreciation. The best way to do this, in my opinion, is to short a currency ETF, such as UUP, then invest that money into another currency ETF, such as the Euro ETF, FXE. Then, with other money, invest in a gold ETF of futures contract.
The pattern I have keenly watched for the last six months has been that of the US Dollar futures prices. During this time, it has been bouncing around a key support level around 78, while internal measures of momentum are deteriorating. The pattern is a head and shoulders top, one of the most statistically validated technical patterns in existence.
As you can see by the chart above, 78 is the support level that the dollar needs to hold above. If that level is broken, then the Fed's job of controlling inflation is about to get much more difficult. Continue to watch this level, and if it is broken, begin to prepare for an inflationary period. That means higher borrowing rates, lower bond prices, higher gold prices, higher energy prices, and higher stock prices (for a little while…). That also means that the "inflation sensitive" sectors will likely underperform, such as utilities, technology, and small caps.
Only about two percent away from spitting out a sell signal, the dollar may carry a key to the future of the US economy in 2013. With the large spike downward in the last week, and the continual punishment of US treasuries, I would expect the signal to occur shortly. Eyes open!

Vaiko to meet district secretaries
CPI(M) announces its candidates
CHENNAI: Efforts are on to break the stalemate in the talks between the AIADMK and the MDMK on sharing of seats for the Lok Sabha election. Although the AIADMK offer of four seats was seen as a positive development by the MDMK leadership, there has been no progress in talks over identification of constituencies. However, the AIADMK is keen to conclude the seat-sharing agreement soon. The seats under consideration for being allocated to MDMK are Virudhunagar, Erode, Thanjavur and Tiruvallur, according to an AIADMK source.
CPI state secretary D. Pandian tried to mediate between the two parties. "We want them to settle the issue amicably. But our role is limited. We cannot go beyond a point," Mr. Pandian told The Hindu.
MDMK general secretary Vaiko has called for a meeting of district secretaries on Wednesday. Leaders in both camps exuded confidence that an agreement would be reached soon.
The CPI(M) renominated P. Mohan and A.V. Bellarmin as party candidates for the Madurai and Kanyakumari constituencies respectively. State committee member and Coimbatore district secretary P.R. Natarajan is the candidate for Coimbatore constituency. Sixty-year-old Mohan was first elected from the Madurai constituency in 1999. He retained the seat in 2004. Mr. Bellarmin won Nagercoil constituency in 2004. Mr. Natarajan unsuccessfully contested in the Coimbatore constituency in 1996.

KUALA LUMPUR: All three members of Datuk T entered Masjid Amru Al-As, Bandar Baru Sentul, for an oath-taking ceremony and the trio appeared to be wearing bullet-proof vests under their clothes.
Only Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah completed the sumpah laknat (oath-cum-curse) ceremony at about 4.20pm Friday.
Eskay swore that Datuk Seri Anwar and himself were the men in the sex video and that Anwar was the actor in it.
He said: "If I have committed slander then Allah will lay a curse on me."
Chaos broke out again among the crowd when the three were escorted out.
Earlier, chairman Abdul Razak Husin had said that he had been informed the ceremony was cancelled and had asked the rowdy crowd to leave.
But the trio, Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik dan Datuk Shuib Lazim, turned up at about 4.10pm.
On Thursday, Eskay had dared Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to take the oath, together with him, that the person resembling Anwar in the sex video was indeed the opposition leader.
The businessman had also invited those "who doubt the truth" to witness the ceremony at the Amru Al-As mosque in Bandar Baru.
Meanwhile, Bernana reported that Parti Keadilan Rakyat vice president N. Surendran claimed that Eskay's oath-taking was an act of desperation.
He said that Eskay was trying to convince the public that he was telling the truth about the sex video featuring a man resembling Anwar.
According to Surendran, the man in the video, which he had seen, was not Anwar.
"There are obvious and unmistakable physical differences, particularly the large and protruding stomach of the actor in the video," he said in a statement.

Every now and then, something happens in your life that is so monumental, so Earth-shaking, that you have no choice but to share it with nearly everyone you know. The question is, how do you do it?
How do you tell your friends that your mother has died? How do you tell your family that you're gay? How do you share the not-so-appealing results of your most recent visit to the free clinic?
Well, that's why God invented Twitter. Not only can you build a large and diverse family via the social networking site, you can also use it to have uncomfortable conversations that you'd rather not have in person.
Here are some tips to help you get the most out of avoiding conflict via Twitter.
Finding out you have a venereal disease can be a humiliating discovery. Still, its important that you come to terms with it quickly. It's even more important to notify your most recent partner, just to be safe, no matter how uncomfortable it might make you. They have a right to know, just… let them down gently. I might suggest something like this:

Anaheim, home of the self-described "Happiest place on Earth," was the only Orange County city to make Prevention magazine's first list of "25 happiest, healthiest cities in America." The highly unscientific ranking of 100 big U.S. cities credited Anaheim for its preponderance of general practitioners, professional sports venues, fitness professionals, gyms, clubs and studios. Also deemed plusses: residents' good eating habits and relatively low incidences of certain diseases. Anaheim was downgraded for its cost of living, average commute times and number of binge drinkers. And the city came in dead last for its amount of green space. San Jose took the No. 1 spot on Prevention's list.

Notes Hitchcock dryly, "We've never drifted completely apart, so it's not like having to swallow masses of humble pie or nasty medicine or wade up to our knees in dirt to get back to that place." He even dangles out a possibility of new music if the tour works out, but warns against too much optimism before the concert dates have even started.
"We're far too old to be traveling around in packs," the singer says. Still, the irony of reenacting the roles of their former selves tickles him. As Hitchcock puts it: "You can be what you like as long as it's in inverted commas."

Lil' Wayne ft. T-Pain & Mack Maine - Got Money (Remix)
Artist: Lil Wayne
Featuring: T-Pain, Mack Maine
Producer: Play-N-Skillz
Album: Carter III
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 72 votes )
When DJBooth was originally sent the Lil' Wayne and T-Pain collaboration, Got Money, we were informed that the record would not be placed on Wayne's impending Carter III release. Since that feature went live, however, Wayne's camp evidently changed their minds and the Play-N-Skillz track will, in fact, be on the album. Now, only days away from the biggest thing to hit the mainstream since sliced bread, Wayne has leaked a remix to Got Money, which features the rapping talents of… Mack Maine? Yup, signed to Young Money Entertainment (unlike the departed Curren$y), Maine hops on the record for the final 16 bars, highlighting his skills as two flights below his boss. Hold your breath, because by the time this one gets played out, C3 will finally be available.
Note: The streaming of "Got Money (Remix)" has temporarily been suspended.

A Cooper pair can form in a metal at low temperature. Despite the fact that the electrons Coulomb-repel each other, it may be possible to get an overall attractive force between the two. This is commonly explained in terms of an indirect coupling between the electrons, mediated by the lattice of positive ions.
Cooper pairs are an integral part of the theory of low-temperature superconductors, BCS theory.

`Remove regional imbalances in development' The purpose behind the Ekikarana Movement will not be served unless regional imbalances in development are removed, says the former Chief Minister
BANGALORE: Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy honoured the former Chief Minister S.R. Bommai with the Ekikarana Award for his role in the re-organisation of the State, in Bangalore on Tuesday.
Mr. Bommai was one of those chosen for the Ekikarana Awards for their contribution to the State reorganisation movement, popularly known as the Ekikarana Movement.
Poor health
But, owing to poor health, he could not attend the award function held as part of Suvarna Karnataka celebrations on November 1. Hence, the Chief Minister presented the award to Mr. Bommai at his residence itself.
"You should implement the D.M. Nanjundappa committee's recommendations to remove regional imbalances so that the dream of the ekikarana activists will come true," Mr. Bommai said.

Lupe Fiasco Rocks Out on "Solar Midnite" (Download)Posted by Nathan S. on 10/17/09 | Filed under Downloads, Lupe Fiasco
Actually, it's probably best to let Lupe explain:
"Solar Midnite is my first commercial release that I actually produced as well as wrote. The New Moon team asked me if I could do a song specifically for the film. They invited me to an early screening of the unfinished film from which I pulled different elements that I thought would translate into a great song. I pulled in vocalist and bassist Graham Burris and acclaimed musician Matt Nelson to help fill it out my vision musically and "joila" Solar Midnite was born. The song basically deals with the chaotic love story that takes place between the characters. It's more on the rock side of my musical catalog and comes straight from my die hard fanhood of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Anthony Keidis, one of my FAVORITE RAPPERS."
Wow, did not see the "Anthony Keidis is one of my favorite rappers" coming. Although from Lupe you always have to expect the unexpected.

10 Ways to Increase Your Concentration
- Understand what concentration is: "Concentration is taking your mind off many things and putting it on one thing at a time."
- Decide what you want to concentrate on. In many ways, you become what you focus on — that is, you take on some of its characteristics. Have you ever noticed how couples who have been married for many years start to look like each other, or how people often come to resemble their pets, their cars, their hobbies, or their work projects?
- Watch other people concentrating. Go see a good action movie. In the middle of it, look around at the people in the theater. What are they doing? They are absolutely still, eyes barely blinking, and their breath is slower. It would take a really major distraction to break their attention stream. These physical signs may give you a hint about ways to increase your own concentration abilities.
- Avoid constant sensory input. Multi-tasking (trying to do more than one thing at a time), loud noises, and visual stimulation (such as from a T.V.) make concentration much more difficult, and being around them or doing them too much can put you into a habit of non-attention which can be hard to break.
- Make it a point to put your full concentration on whatever you are doing. Don't let anything distract you. It really helps to be in a quiet place, but you can learn to block out noise if necessary.
- Stay calm. Deep concentration is a matter of increasing or directing your life-force or conscious, cosmic energy. The more of this kind of energy you have, the better. Scattered energy doesn't help. It must be calm, focused energy. Learn to be calmly concentrated and be concentratedly calm.
- Learn techniques to increase and control your energy. One such technique is Paramhansa Yogananda's Energization Exercises. Controlling your energy is an important first step toward the ability to concentrate deeply.
- Take breaks. Go outside and breathe deeply or take a brisk walk. Make yourself do this often and you'll be able to return to your task recharged and ready to focus more creatively.
- Learn to meditate. Meditation is the most powerful of all concentration enhancement techniques. Learn a few simple meditation techniques and practice them at least five minutes daily.
- While meditating, watch your breath — don't control it in any way, just observe. This teaches you to focus your mind on one thing at a time. As you observe your breath, it will slow down, along with your mind (this is a scientifically well-documented), and you move into a dynamic, peaceful (but not sleepy) state of being. Your mind will become recharged and creatively receptive.

main topic how to concentrate is still mising . i m serching most effective and fastest way to grow concentration which will help to meditate. if we say meditation is the way to develop concentration then we face a question how to meditate without concentration
I have tried what is called meditation. The problem is that somehow you must be able to concentrate to meditate. I just cant concentrate even upto this extend. When I tried to listen to my breath some other thoughts(mostly music/songs) comes to my mind. I tried so much but just cannot get rid of them. This is not a problem of just one in the society. As a student I have suffered a lot as I found it difficult to concentrate. So you have to suggest some other ways for the eradication of this issue.
just watch the thoughts coming in your mind like a third person and pay attention so that you don't let yourself get involved in the thoughts. this is what concentration is.
hey bub may you try to do meditation wearing ear plucks and then just slowly observe your breadth.
Jst stay calm , eyes closed mind ur breath n think nothing…..if thoughts CME to ur mind then brush them off n try focusing on a light ..create by ur mind..
meditation is mainstay for gain your concentration. . go to some quite place nd nd close ur eyes.. take quite breath. . after one long breath expire ur breath by saying ooooommmmmm by mouth silently. . ohm is d mantra have very good concentration power. . daily 10-15 time wil surely give good result

Dear Swetha,
It might be helpful, as Paramhansa Yogananda suggested, to go on a "worry fast" to help get rid of all those intruding thoughts.
Here is his suggestion:
Three times a day shake off all worries.
1) from 7am – 8am in the morning
With great deliberation and willingness, say to yourself,
"All my worries of the night are cast out. I refuse to worry, no matter how troublesome are the duties ahead of me."
2) from noon to 1pm
Remind yourself of your fast by saying,
"I am cheerful, I will not worry!"
3) from 6pm to 9pm in the evening
Mentally make a strong resolution
"Within these three hours I will not worry; I refuse to get vexed, even if I am nagged."
Tell your mind,
"I can do only my best; no more. I am satisfied and happy that I am doing my best to solve my problems; there is absolutely no reason why I should worry."
Then focus on joy as a cure for worry.
Try to feast regularly on the company of joyful minds. Feast on laughter in the company of really joyful people.
Once you have become accustomed to letting go of worries, then you can apply this to any intruding thoughts that you want to be rid of.
I need more information
Yes, one page isn't really enough, is it? :)
I'd really recommend learning meditation, as that will help you gain the experience of concentration. The Learn to Meditate course offered by Online with Ananda would be a good starting place. Or you can also read a lot about it for free here on this website.
You can learn a lot about concentration tips and techniques as well, out there. Here's an article that talks about how multitasking is not helpful, about a 2009 scientific study at Stanford.
Based on your feedback and those of others, I think this is a topic we should write more about as well. But of course the real thing is to put the advice into practice.
sir i tried a lot,,,when i try to go in mediation i feel my eyes crumbling….i feel my mouth to be dried….what can i do to go in a deep mediation….
Under heavy stress when we are looking for a solution to a problem and we need to get that problem solved no matter how, we focus all our energy on one thing.
in these situations, we focus only on one thing.
Does our body knows how to do that automatically in stressful conditions??
please advise.
when i try to concentrate on one point, many things and past bad experiences come in my mind, the comments of others disturb me and they get stored into my mind and occurs every now and then thereby reducing my efficiency. At last, it's only the regret that lefts. Kindly assist how to get rid of this situation.
please help me.
i want to read and secure best marks at my exams. but when i start to read ifeel asleep or i cannot concerntrate in my book.what should i do for that?
I guess aromatherapy helps in improving your concentration levels to a great extent. I buy Aroma products mostly from Cycle Pure brand and make sure I lit the incense sticks before starting off meditation. It helps me open up my senses and meditate with better concentration. I have heard a lot of people doing off while meditation, by following this technique you can get rid of that as well. And also aromatherapy and meditation have a lot of health benefits.
Iam a stuent.Plz can you suggest me any way to keep off negative energy and create and create a positive environment to concentrate on my studies and to remain peacefully. Plz can send comment as early as possible
Always I am tryng to concentrate on studies ,but I failed to do so .If I read one paragrph by putng my best efforts aftrer 3 to 5 mins I frget all & failed to remember and concentrate further
Concentration requires a great amount of effort and time. Improve your concentration and focus with meditate. The practice of meditation will definitely improve your powers of concentration. A daily period of meditation gives us the chance to work specifically on concentration techniques.

Do you have modern suggestions?
I'm a good dancer. But i can't remember choreography. I forget what's next. How to improve?
Dear Aditya,
There isn't one simple answer for how to remember choreography as it involves not only concentration but also memorization.
Here are a few suggestions I can share from my own experience as a dancer who has also had to work at remembering movement.
Two aspects I find helpful to focus on are my state of awareness and what physical senses I am using to activate memory.
Something interesting to experiment with is to expand your awareness first before concentrating on memorization.
My own experience is that when my energy becomes bigger than my body and mind I am better able to process and connect information. In that expanded state of awareness I am more relaxed and able to concentrate without tension.
How to do it? This is where experimentation comes in. I suggest looking at Swami Kriyananda's book, Awaken to Superconsciousness as it gives practical concepts and visualizations to try.
What works for me is to first focus my attention at the point between the eyebrows. Then, for a moment, while still looking forward and slightly up, I use my peripheral vision to expand my awareness beyond both sides of my body. I try to maintain this sense of a broader space around me while bringing my attention to whatever is to be focused on.
The second aspect involves using more than one physical sense to memorize choreography. For example, I might see the movement in my mind (visual), use words to describe it such as "step side, cross front, step side, cross back" (auditory), and register how it feels in my body (kinesthetic). Sometimes, I will gently tap my arm or thigh to help my body remember to go right or left.
If I am memorizing for performance then the goal is to go beyond mental memory into physical memory. If I can go through the choreography on my own while thinking about something else, then I know it's been memorized on a cellular level. Visualizing the movement right before I go to sleep or when I first wake up can speed this process.
Also for performance: memorizing the music so that you can hear it in your mind will help you remember the movement more easily. Mikhail Baryshnikov, the great Russian dancer, said that he memorized the music before learning the choreography.
As with everything, it takes practice and patience with yourself. Try to find your strengths and use them – are you more visual, auditory or kinesthetic? Do you easily feel the timing/rhythm? Do you naturally map out where the movement goes through space?
Although there is no one simple answer, the good news is that there are many possible tools to experiment with. Any effort you make to improve your concentration and ability to memorize choreography will help develop the relaxed, dynamic focus needed for spiritual practices. Meditation will in turn strengthen your experience of an expanded awareness that will draw superconscious assistance and solutions for dance and for everything in life.
Hey Ankur Damle! Although I think this is a great list, I believe that for your purposes, the most efficient way of increasing concentration is going to be fasting. Either a water fast, or a juice fast, so long as you focus on greens and other low glycemic herbs and fruits like ginger and lemons. If you're looking for mental clarity and/or seeking God try this.
And this is a great site for help on increasing concentration in general. It's more focused on the dietary approach… http://howtoincreaseconcentrationnow.com/
very simple yet effective way of making people know about the concentration…
According to me the concentration is the feeling of being secured, and kind of inertia where in no worries intrude., in the mind,as long as at least the solitude is lost. This article is good, but should hv been little eloborative..I am a follower of Yogananda paramahamsa.. I like his conceptual thoughts supported by the scine.
Does dislexia play a roll in ability to concentrate?
Over the last several months I have noticed a less sharp concentration and short time
memory loss, immediate recollection does not occur spontaneously. It is now obvious
that concentration has become very important.
how increase the concentration.my brain is 100% concentration fail.my brain automatically think more & more.not control.
Hello. I'm a 2pu student,my concentration is lacking so much . Please do suggest me how to get more concentration on studies.
good advice
Have to improve my concentration and focus.have to negate fear of claustraphobia and air travel.
i have gone through above replies (some of them though), it looks nabha cosley is patiently replying for every questions. that was put on. i would like to thank him.
coming to my questions. (i am 24)
1. what would be the best sleeping hours & how many hours would be more fruitful. (i am an intern who needs to learn lot initially)
2. i prefer getting up early in the morning @ 4:50 AM. and go to bed @ 10 PM when should i do meditation and i need to manage GYM also ?
I am not having concentration power still I am trying to do but not
I find this article useful, but redaction is not the best i had find, you cannot rely on scientific documented postures while talking about metaphisycs such as yoga, or this cosmic energy whatsoever; I'll suggest you to rely only in one matter, as concentration itself must.
while studing iam not able to focus many times negative thoughts which are not true surrounds me nd since i have boards thid year so iam very worried about this .. Plz suggest me something to get out of this problem
thank u so much.
These all r actually quite known matter to people,what we actually want to know is, the key method to get concentrated very swiftly..

So what is the best solution? please provide me with great tip that can change this I would be really grateful towards you.

This year i have my 12 exams and i am not able to concentrate in theory subjects like business studies and macro economics . Various kind of stupid thoughts came into my mind whenever i start learning . My concentration level is zero . Two months are left for my exams . Need a strong technique to concentrate . Please reply fast. Waiting……
it true all the things i like all of these techniches but some techniquies doesnt work
I am in 2 year of degree electrical engg. My problem is that i already read lots of artical abought How to focus , Etc . But i failed to find out effectly way to focus and also to consentrate mind . Show me right way ………
To nr. 9 and 10 I would add that it is also very beneficial to practice concentration meditation on some external object like a candle or a bowl, or even a pen or a spoon (it doesn't really matter). Because if you are trying to increase your concentration on things that are 'outside' of yourself, it makes sense that you practice concentration meditation on object 'outside' as well, as opposed to the breath.
This can go to a point where you actually feel one with whatever you are concentrating on, and that is what you are ultimately going for. To be so caught up in what you are concentrating on that you obtain a 'flow' like state.
Another way of achieving the same is to learn to become conscious (or concentrate on) the one thing in you that comes before all others, your pure naked consciousness, before the contents it's filled with. If you learn to become more in touch with that, concentration comes naturally. If interested I wrote this meditation article about the Ramana Maharshi technique not too long ago.
Ihave a very bad problem : some vain and negative thoughts make my mind busy and when i want to study my lessons i can't concentrate on my lesson and i lose my motivation to improve
please help me:-)
good thnks for the help!
These are the very good techniques if persons were able to depute himself on these techniques uninterruptedly interestingly to enhance them.

There are bunches of vitamins and supplements available that can help with memory and fixation. The most fundamental would be a decent Vitamin-B Complex, which is really shoddy and you can discover them anyplace. Likewise, in case you're taking a multivitamin, they accompany a full collection of B Vitamins (in the event that you are not officially on a multivitamin that future a decent place to begin). These can be found in fluid or container structure. I incline toward the cases as they are simpler to take and don't smell. You can discover them at health sustenance stores.
Past that, you can investigate particular individual fixings like Ginkgo or Ginseng or Impertinence. These items can be found all alone at health sustenance stores, or inside 'brain products' or 'Baba Ramdev Products'. The following is a rundown of the most prevalent/ best-surveyed items for memory, consideration, and centering:

German ministers urge swift answers from US over reports of spying by double agent
Published on Jul 6, 2014 9:02 PM
BERLIN (AFP) - German ministers on Sunday called for a swift response from the United States to allegations of spying by a suspected double agent, which have raised fears of fresh tensions between the two allies.
"If reports are correct, we are not talking here about small potatoes," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in a tweet, following reports of US spying that have sparked anger in Germany after revelations the US National Security Agency (NSA) allegedly tapped Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone.
The US ambassador, who was called to a meeting at the Foreign Ministry late on Friday, had been told Washington is expected to shed light on the reports "as quickly as possible", he added.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere in pre-released experts from Monday's Bild newspaper called for a "quick and clear" statement by the US on the allegations.

Life Insurance Products Questions:
1. What is term life insurance? Term life insurance provides for the payment of the sum assured only if the life assured dies within a specified period. If the life assured does not die, the policy ceases and the premiums paid are retained by the insurance company. Thus, the premiums paid contain no savings element. As such, term life insurance provides the maximum protection on the life assured for a specified number of years.
Term insurance is regarded as temporary insurance (as opposed to permanent insurance like whole life), and as such, it does not provide any surrender values, paid-up values, loan values or any of the non-forfeiture privileges. This relatively inexpensive form of insurance cover is useful for the following purposes:
2. What is renewable term insurance? Renewable term insurance is one in which the policyowner is allowed to renew his/her term policy, when it expires, for another term policy, irrespective of the insured's state of health at the time of renewal.
The premium payable is level during the term of each renewal and it will increase at the next renewal based on the attained age of the insured at the time of renewal.
Like all term policies, there are neither surrender values, paid-up values, loan values nor non-forfeiture privileges.
This relatively inexpensive form of insurance cover is useful for the following purposes:
3. What is level term insurance? Level term insurance is one in which the sum insured of the policy remains the same throughout the term of the policy. Should the life assured die at any time during the term of the policy, the fixed sum assured will be payable.
4. What is convertible term insurance? Convertible term insurance is one in which the life insured has the option of converting his/her term policy, at any time during the term of the policy, to a permanent insurance policy such as whole life or endowment without evidence of insurability.
At the time of conversion, the new premium rate will be based on the life assured's then attained age.
5. What is decreasing or reducing term insurance? Decreasing or reducing term insurance is one where the sum assured of the policy decreases each year to a zero balance at the end of the term. Sometimes it is a rider which is attached to a permanent insurance policy.
This type of term insurance is useful when the life assured needs the protection most at the earlier years of the policy. It can also be used as a means of protecting a mortgage.
6. What are the types of decreasing term insurance available? There are generally 2 types of decreasing term insurance available. The first type is concerned with protecting a mortgage or loan. This type of insurance is usually issued as a basic plan and the premium is paid in one lump sum at the onset of the policy.
The other type is concerned with providing greater protection in the earlier years of the policy. It is usually issued as a rider on a basic plan and the premium is payable every year, together with the premium of the basic plan of insurance.
7. What is mortgage reducing term assurance or insurance? Mortgage reducing term assurance or insurance is a form of decreasing term insurance whereby the sum assured of the policy decreases in accordance with the loan outstanding. House purchasers usually assign this type of policy to the banks as collateral securities for their housing loans. The policyowner usually pay a single premium for such a policy and the amount is dependent on the principal loan amount, the term of repayment, and the mortgage loan interest rate. At the end of the repayment term, the amount of cover decreases to nil, just as the loan outstanding does the same. Like all term policies, there are no benefits payable at the end of the policy term.
8. What is group term insurance? Group term insurance is one that covers several persons under one policy, called a master policy. The individuals insured under this policy are not parties to the contract, although they do have certain rights under the policy. Usually, groups insured under group insurance policies are employer-employee groups. In this type of insured group, the employer is the policyowner and the employees are the insureds.
This type of insurance is usually a yearly renewable term insurance, and the premiums are intended to cover expected benefits and expenses for only the current policy year.
9. What are the pros and cons of term insurance? The pros of term insurance are:
The cons of term insurance would include:
10. Why buy term life insurance? The reasons for buying term life insurance are:
11. What is whole life insurance? Whole life insurance is a contract that theoretically covers the insured and a level premium is payable for life. If the insured dies, the sum assured less any outstanding policy loans are payable to beneficiary. Sometimes the sum assured will be payable when the insured reaches a certain age such as 85, 90 or 100 years.
This is a permanent insurance policy and hence, there are surrender values available. Depending on length of premium payment there are two types of whole life insurance i.e. ordinary whole life and limited payment whole life.
12. What is ordinary whole life insurance? Ordinary whole life insurance is one where the premiums are payable throughout the lifetime of the life assured. If the life assured dies, the contract provides various settlement options to be payable to the beneficiaries.
After the first few policy years (normally the third), the policy will have accumulated surrender value. The policyowner may then apply for a policy loan (against the surrender value) to meet his/her financial needs. Furthermore, the policy can be converted to a reduced paid-up policy.
13. What is limited payment whole life insurance? Limited payment whole life insurance is one in which the premiums are payable for a limited number of years (usually 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years). Sometimes, the policy is designed in such a way that premiums payment is not required from his/her retirement date (no matter whether he did retire) onward. After the premium paying period, the policy becomes paid-up for its full amount and no further premiums are required.
The purpose of this limited payment is to enable the policyowner to pay up the policy during his/her working lifetime so that after the completion of the specified period, the policy may remain in force without imposing further financial obligations on the policyowner. The premium payable is greater than that of an ordinary whole life insurance policy.
14. What is whole life endowment insurance? Whole life endowment insurance is one where the premiums are payable throughout the lifetime of the insured and guaranteed cash bonuses will be paid at specified intervals while the policy is in force. The cash bonus is usually expressed as a fixed percentage (usually 10% or 15%) of the sum assured of the policy, and is usually payable at the end of each 5th policy year.
Some companies allow the cash bonus to be paid every 3 years.
The policyowner may withdraw the bonuses or keep them with the company. The company will pay interest (at a rate to be determined by the company) on the accumulated sum kept with it.
The premium payable is higher when compared to the ordinary whole life or limited payment whole life policy. Accordingly, the savings element is also larger, but immediately after the cash bonus is available, the reserve held back decreases substantially and accumulates again until the next cash bonus payment.
15. What kind of needs does whole life insurance cover? The needs that whole life insurance covers include:
16. What are the advantages and disadvantages of whole life insurance? The advantages of whole life insurance are:
The disadvantages are:
17. What is endowment insurance? Endowment insurance provides for the payment of the sum insured and any accrued bonuses at the maturity of the policy, or on earlier death of the life assured, whichever comes first. Premiums are payable throughout the term of the policy.
Theoretically, endowment insurance is made up of a pure endowment insurance (a pure endowment policy is one which pays the face amount of the policy only if the insured survives to the end of the term of the policy) and a term insurance. The pure endowment insurance will pay the sum assured if the insured survives to the end of the endowment period. The term insurance will pay the sum assured if the insured dies during the endowment period. Therefore, it can be said that the endowment insurance is a combination of pure endowment insurance and term insurance.
Like whole life policies, endowment policies steadily build up cash values. However, since an endowment policy matures much earlier than a whole life policy, the cash values build up more rapidly. And because of this, the premium payable is higher than that of a whole life policy.
This type of policy is a means of systematic saving with life insurance protection during the chosen period. It can be used for many purposes including:
18. What are the common endowment life policies? The common endowment life policies include:
19. What is anticipated endowment? An anticipated endowment is an endowment policy with guaranteed cash payments payable to the policyowner at regular intervals during the term of the policy. The full sum assured will still be payable should the insured die during the term of the policy. However, if the insured survives till the end of the term, then he/she will receive only the balance of the sum assured (usually 50% of the original sum assured).
This type of endowment allows the policyowner to receive payments earlier. This is in contrast to the normal endowment policy in which the policyowner has to wait until the end of the term in order to receive the full sum insured.
20. What is a juvenile endowment plan? A juvenile endowment plan is specially designed to mature at specified ages for educational purposes. It is written to mature at the age at which the insured (a juvenile when the policy was first written) is embarking on his/her tertiary education.
21. What are the advantages and disadvantages of endowment life insurance? The advantages of endowment life insurance are:
The disadvantages include:
22. What needs does endowment life insurance satisfy? Endowment life insurance satisfies the following needs:
23. What is Family Takaful? This is a form of life insurance that is prescribed in the Takaful Act of 1984. However, the Act itself has very few provisions on how the scheme should be implemented, except that it must be in accordance with the Syariah or principles of Islamic law. The aims of the Family Takaful are threefold:
All Family Takaful plans must be for a fixed period but they do not carry a fixed sum insured. The amount of benefits that a participant receives depends on the maturity period, the amount of contributions that he has agreed to make and profits, if any, earned from the investment of his contributions.
Family Takaful is a defined contribution plan. A participant decides on the size of his annual contribution provided that it exceeds or equals the minimum premium. The money paid goes into two different accounts, the Participants' Account (PA) and the
Participants' Special Account (PSA). The PA, into which the larger proportion of the money is paid, is a form of savings and investment account. Money paid into the PSA is paid with the intention of helping fellow participants in times of hardship. The actual proportion of each participant's contributions to this account is determined by the company based on the amount of payments it makes from that fund to the families of participants who die before the maturity of their plans.
Money from both the accounts are invested by the company on a profit and loss sharing basis in enterprises which are not contrary to Islam either in their operations or in the nature of their business. Profits generated by the investment of the PA funds are shared between the company and the participants in a pre-agreed ratio. Profits generated by the investment of PSA funds are used to beef up the fund.
Although the Islamic principle of Mudharabah requires the participants to share in both the profits and losses of the company, the committee on the Takaful Scheme recommended that any loss should be borne by the company alone.
Takaful benefits are paid to the participant if he survives until his plan matures in the following manner: From his PA The total amount of takaful installments paid by the participant during the tenure of his participation and his share of profits from the investment of takaful installments credited into his PA.
From his PSA
The net surplus allocated to the participant as shown from the last valuation of the PSA. If he dies before his plan matures, the Takaful benefit is to be paid to a proper claimant, without any probate or letters of administration. A proper claimant is one who claims to be entitled to the benefits as executor of the deceased or one who claims to be entitled to such sum under the relevant law. The latter was provided for as participation is not restricted to Muslims.
If a participant dies before the maturity of his plan, the amount of benefits paid to the claimant are as follows:
If a participant decides to withdraw from the scheme before the maturity of his plan, then he is returned all the money in his PA and the profits which that money has earned so far. His contributions to the PSA, being a form of donation which he has agreed to make, is not returned. There is also a facility to part withdraw his PA but only after the plan has been inforce for two years.
The Takaful Act provides that a person under 18 years shall not have the capacity to enter into a Takaful contract. This differs from the Insurance Act, 1963, which provides that a person between 10 and 16 years of age can still enter into a contract with the written consent of his parents or guardian.
In the Takaful scheme, a participant is both the insured and the policyholder. Furthermore the scheme can benefit only the participant and his family and not a third party.
The Takaful companies are governed by the Director-General of Takaful who is also the Director General of Insurance.
24. What are the different types of children's policies? There are basically 2 main types of children's policies, namely protected educational policies and children's deferred insurance. These policies are discussed in the following questions.
25. What are protected educational policies? Protected educational policies are issued on the life of the parent or guardian. The child is named as the beneficiary and he/she will only receive the sum insured on reaching a specified age.
The purpose of this type of policy is to provide for the costs of higher education of a child. At maturity, the policy money may be paid in one lump sum or installments. It is also payable upon the death of the insured (the parent) during the term of the policy.
Such payment can be arranged so that the child can receive a portion of the summ insured at the time of his/her parent's or guardian's death and the balance upon his/her reaching the required age at the end of the policy term.
26. What is children's deferred insurance? Children's deferred insurance is issued on the life of the child. The parent or guardian is the policyowner. When the child reaches the vesting age (either 18 or 21), the policy will be vested in the child (thereby making him/her the policyowner as well as the insured) and future premiums will be continued by him/her. Sometimes, the parent may want to continue paying the premiums, which is allowed by the insurance company.
The purpose of this type of policy is to provide the child with future life insurance cover. However, if the child dies before attaining the vesting age, the sum insured of the policy is not payable. Only the premiums paid (with or without interest, depending on the company's policy) are refunded. Should the child die after the vesting age, the full sum assured will be paid.
From the above, the implication is that the policy does not provide the normal protection until the child attains the vesting age. The insurance protection begins at the vesting age irrespective of whether the child is in good health or not. The policy then becomes a normal permanent insurance policy such as whole life insurance or endowment insurance.
The premiums are payable throughout the term of the policy. Sometimes, there will be a waiver of premium should the parent die before the child reaches the vesting age. In this case, an additional premium is required for the waiver of premium benefit. This additional premium is dependent on the age of the parent. After the vesting age, the child will have to continue paying the premiums.
