new sources of creating wealth or to otherwise leverage the accumulation of wealth‚ thus are the beneficiaries of the new wealth.

query services. The model should be plausible in that it reflects the correlation of cache structures involved in the queries. Optimal pricing is achieved based on a dynamic pricing scheme that adapts to time changes. This paper proposes a novel price-demand model designed for a cloud cache and a dynamic pricing scheme for queries executed in the cloud cache. The pricing solution employs a novel method that estimates the correlations of the cache services in an time-efficient manner. The experimental

I say this because obesity is in a way a subcategory of poverty. For example‚ people who are poorer tend to buy the less healthy foods because they are at a cheaper price‚ thusly causing obesity. Procedure: Research and Identify the obesity
