			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Single beds are often found in smaller bedrooms. They are used to allow extra space in the already tight conditions. But how can you make your small bed look exciting and eye catching.</p>
<p>Making your bed interesting to look at will immediately brighten your room, and your mood. The first step is to make sure you have it in a suitable position in the room. Single beds tend to look most effective lying along a wall. However, some will opt for it sticking into the middle of the room so that you can access both sides.</p>
<p>If you are opting for the bed along the wall then you can make your bed appear more like a sofa in the day. Purchase an array of cushions that match the décor of your room. Then place them on the bed along the wall, creating the sofa look and extra comfort. In addition to this have a colourful or ornate throw to place over the bed.</p>
<p>If your bed is in the middle of the room you can a make a statement of it being a bed. Plump the pillows up high and make sure you always make your bed in the morning. An addition of a headboard will really add to your <a href="http://www.bedstar.co.uk/bedsuperstore/3FT-single-beds/">single bed</a>. A leather one can look sophisticated and classy, or a brightly coloured one can add a real statement to your room. </p>
<p>Finally, wherever you bed is you can gain extra storage under the bed. Some beds already have built in storage drawers, but if not you can buy low boxes on wheels that will easily roll in and out from under your bed. Then to keep the single bed from looking boxy or untidy have a throw that hangs over the drawer doors or the wheelie boxes. This way you are creating the illusion of extra space by hiding where everything is kept. </p>
<p>You can purchase or browse <a href="http://www.bedstar.co.uk/bedsuperstore/3FT-single-beds/">www.bedstar.co.uk/bedsuperstore/3FT-single-beds/</a> for single beds or any other bedroom furniture that you may be interested in. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest development in the real estate sector of the UK’s largest property company, Land Securities is that they will start indirect real estate deals through derivatives. During the two year downturn period no one was willing to invest in the share market but now the growth of trade is accelerating. Trades that were carried out towards the end of 2009 showed an increase in investors. Global property derivatives increased in the last quarter of 2009 and they acquired contract worth £762 m carried out in 78 trades. UK is the vanguard for development of property derivatives and this is mainly due to the use of IPD index. 90% of the global trading activity is recorded in UK itself.</p>
<p>But there are many other countries that do not have an unswerving source of property pricing. Even US is yet to use derivatives wholeheartedly. Derivatives are used more openly in the European markets such as Germany and France. Generally trading is done o the overall IPD index but investors such as Prudential’s property funds have started to trade derivatives based on development of certain sector within property such as retail and London Offices. These properties can also be used for derivative trading.</p>
<p>This step will help more people to invest. Even if shares of one sector falls the other sector can act as a back up depending on that sector’s potential. There is a lot of prospective by using derivatives. Commercial property owners can lock income returns and evade capital values if they fear a fall in prices. The residential derivative market is not very often traded and in the last quarter of 2009 residential derivative contracts were traded against Halifax House Price Index for an estimated £150 m.</p>
