How do I work thepeplum look?

Touted as one of the biggest trends this year, peplum isa popular style in the west. But how do you get it right?

The peplum, often described as a short and full flounce orthe extension of a garment below the waist, is one of the hottesttrends on the international runways this year. Peplum canaccentuate a regular jacket or a dress, and add a quirky touchto an otherwise ordinary ensemble. Unlike many trends thatare res t r ic ted only to the ca twalks and worn only byfashionistas, this one is being embraced by many regularwomen because a flared ruffle attached to a bodice or a coatalways manages to make a person look well put together.

Style experts however suggest not trying this look if youdon' t want to draw attention to your waist , because anyadditional fabric in that area will add girth. But if you don'tmind your waist being the focal point of your outfit , thedefinition and structure offered by a peplum can make a personlook both curvy and fabulous.

The best way to wear peplum is to make sure there are nocolour clashes brought in by the peplum. It is therefore, bestto use it in solid colours, rather than using a different print onyour dress and another on the peplum. But you can use peplumswith sequins, polka dots and graphic art if you want to drawattention to it. The best aspect of a peplum is the fact that itcan help cover chunky thighs and is very figure friendly too.

The order comes 18months after Louboutin first tookYSL to court with lawsuit centred onYSL’s red monochrome shoes.

Women walking briskly for 210 minutes ormore per week had a lower stroke risk than inactive women but alsolower than those who cycled and did other higher-intensity workoutsfor a shorter amount of time, the journal Stroke reported. Nearly33,000 men and women answered a physical activity questionnairegiven once in the mid-1990s as part of a larger European cancerproject. Huerta and his team divided participants by gender, exercisetype and total time spent exercising each week, according to theDaily Mail. During the 12-year follow-up period, a total of 442 strokesoccurred among the men and women. The results for women whowere regular walkers translated to a 43 per cent reduction in strokerisk compared to the inactive group, Huerta said.

4 cups of tea daily cut stroke riskScientists who studied how consumption of black tea - the kind mostly drunk in the UK - related to strokes

found downing at least four cups every day lowered the chances of a brain blood clot by 21 percent, theDaily Mail reported.But drinking any less than that did not seem to have a beneficial effect.The findings, by scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, come from a population studyinvolving nearly 75,000 men and women.Strokes kill around 200 people every day in the UK. Many more are left disabled and living in fear that a secondor even third attack could kill them. Around 85 percent of victims are affected by ischaemic strokes, where aclot travels to the brain and shuts off its blood supply. The rest are called haemorrhagic strokes, where a bloodvessel bursts in the brain, causing potentially fatal bleeding. Although numerous studies have highlighted theprotective effects of green tea on the brain, the evidence on black tea has been less conclusive. The Swedishteam studied 74,961 Swedish adults who were in good health when they signed up to a long-term health studyin 1997.Over the next ten years, just over 4,000 of the volunteers suffered a stroke, mostly ischaemic.As part of the study, researchers monitored tea drinking habits.Once they allowed for other factors that might determine stroke risk - such as whether volunteers smoked orhad high blood pressure - they found that four cups or more a day had a significant effect.British consumers get through an estimated 165 million cups every day of mostly black tea.It is packed with components called flavonoids that are thought to be good for the heart and brain.

Cummins Inc.has produced its 2-millionthdiesel engine for Ram Truck,highlighting the latest milestonein a storied partnership thatspans four decades.

"The Ram Truck-Cumminsdiesel partnership is one of theindustry's most enduring andcertainly fitting of such atribute," says Fred Diaz,President and CEO - Ram TruckBrand, Chrysler Group LLC."Both companies have benefitedgreatly, but Ram dieselcustomers are the realbeneficiaries. Every day theyexperience the toughness andcapability a Cummins-poweredRam can deliver."

Cummins began supplying engines to Chrysler Group in 1988.Today in North America, only Ram-brand pickups and chassis cabsfeature the coveted Cummins "C" logo.

"I am immensely proud of our association with Cummins," saysBob Lee, Chrysler Group Vice President and Head of Engine andElectrified Propulsion Engineering. "And I have no qualms matchingour truck diesels against those of any competitor for performanceand durability."

For 2013, Cummins-powered Rams boast capabilities andfeatures that include:

" Best-in-class torque" Segment-exclusive dual-inlet "Ram Active Air" that adjusts

induction according to driving conditions for optimal performance" "Smart" exhaust brake for smoother driving characteristics" Best-in-class oil-change intervals - up to 24,000 kilometres" A new cooling system for improved performance and

diesel exhaust fluid system with range of up to 6,437 kilometresbetween refills

" Dual fuel filtration system for enhanced reliability and

durability in virtually every climate and environment" Unsurpassed diesel powertrain limited warranty - 5 years/

160,000 kilometresThe Chrysler Group-Cummins partnership traces its beginnings

to 1985, when development work began on a 5.9-litre 12-valve in-line6-cylinder turbo diesel. When it launched in 1989, it was rated at 160horsepower and 400 lb-ft of peak torque - less than half the numbersfor today's High-Output 6.7-litre Cummins turbo diesel.

In the 2013 Ram Heavy Duty pickups, the top-line Cumminsengine delivers 385 horsepower and a best-in-class 850 lb-ft of torque.

Among other notable events in the evolution of Cumminsdiesels produced for Chrysler Group:

" 24-valve design introduced in model-year 1998.5" Adoption of high-pressure common-rail fuel delivery in 2003" Named to Ward's 10 Best Engines list in 2004" Displacement increased to 6.7 litres from 5.9 litres in model-

year 2007.5" Met 2010 federal emissions certification in 2007Take-rate is testament to the appeal of Cummins engines among

Ram customers. Diesels account for nearly 80 per cent of Ram HeavyDuty sales.Chrysler Canada: Chrysler Group'sUconnectTM Launches Industry-FirstDealer-Activated Navigation System

Windsor, Ontario: The growing importance of navigation systemsis not lost on Chrysler Group. Accordingly, the Company hasunleashed the power of its celebrated Uconnect system toaccommodate customers seeking a change in direction.

An industry-first, now Chrysler Canada dealers can activatenavigation functions in vehicles equipped with certain Uconnectsystems. Uconnect offers navigation capability, but not all customerschoose the option at the time of sale.

"Sometimes customers don't realize what they want until theyneed it," says MariosZenios, Vice President-Uconnect Systems andServices. "That's fine. We can help. With dealer-activated navigation,we are adopting a 'no-customer-left-behind' attitude."

The dealer-activated navigation will be initially available on the2013 Ram 1500 full-size pickup, SRT Viper and the 2014 Fiat 500L.

Because the necessary hardware is already resident in the

vehicle, dealer-activated navigation affords a major convenienceover portable devices, which create clutter and require charging orsmartphone data plans - or both.

Dealer-activated navigation boasts the same map data as pre-ordered systems, including:

" Points of interest" Junction views" Lane guidance" Intersection zoom" Trip programmingIn addition, dealer-activated navigation features turn-by-turn

audio instructions to further encourage drivers to keep their focuson the task at hand - driving.

Dealer-activated navigation bodes particularly well for used-car buyers, Zenios says.
