================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
They work differently for each individual. Bodybuilding
routines can vary to an extent that spans quite a few routines
or many. You should know that the best routines are those that
provide the required results in the shortest possible period of
time.
Most people would rather choose bodybuilding routines that will
maximize the benefits accrued while causing them to perform as
little work as is possible, which has given rise to a greater
demand for the best in bodybuilding routines.
Don't copy other people's routine!
For bodybuilding starters, it may come as a small surprise to
learn that achieving the type of body Arnold Schwarzenegger has
is not all about reading up Pumping Iron and copying the moves
that he made in his prime. Thus, those who feel that copying
bodybuilding routines such as those used by a Mr. Universe or a
Mr. Olympias may end up a bit disappointed when their bodies do
not become the sculpted masterpieces that Arnold achieved or
those of other Mr. Universes.
If you copy these bodybuilding routines don't hope to achieve
exalted levels in as short a space of time since these routines
will not provide you with those kinds of results in less time
than is absolutely necessary.
Prepare to go through trial and error phases.
You should be prepared to go through trial and error phases and
success and failure will also rise and fall as you try and
modify your bodybuilding routines to suit your needs the best.
Also, what works for one person need not work with another
person and no bodybuilding routines will provide the same
results for everyone, and it does mean using different weights
and different exercises as well as different amounts of reps
after which you can then expect to have the sculpted body that
you so much wanted.
Carefully take into account is the need for change.
Another important consideration for you to carefully take into
account is the need for change, since even if particular
bodybuilding routines are working well for you, they still
requires modifying the routines through the addition or
elimination of certain exercises which will then help chisel
your body the way that you want. Bodybuilding routines can be
enhanced further by taking the proper nutrition that will aid
your routines.
Don't perform the bodybuilding routines longer that necessary.
You should realize that bodybuilding routines should not be
performed longer than is absolutely necessary. In most cases it
would be no longer than seventy-five minutes in a single session
and that the maximum sessions you should perform your routines
per week should not exceed five.
If you go beyond that, your body may actually wilt under the
strain. If you over-do the routines, you will need a longer
recuperation period. It is also not correct to work out if you
feel sick or suffering from an injury so as not to aggravate the
injury.
The Work Hard Myth and Bodybuilding
If you think that if you work too hard in the gym the body will
grow muscle then it is not correct. In fact, the body might
reject the additional stress and start to atrophy instead. This
is not what you want. Ever!. It would be wise to avoid such
excessive training.
Instead, simple consistency of attending the gym 3 or 4 times
in a week and working out at a moderate to difficult pace would
be enough to make further gains.

An Introduction To Egold
There is an old cliché that goes along the lines of
"what is old is new again." This cliché, like many
clichés, has a certain sense of truth to it. For
example, remember in the old pirate movies where the hero
would purchase things using gold coins? Well, that old
school method of purchasing is back! No, you do not have to
carry gold dablooms around in a sack as the whole process
has been modernized. Now, thanks to an internet service
called Egold the ability to make payments/receive payments
in gold can be processed over the internet electronically.
Yes, gold is back in a big way!
When the internet first started to grow significantly in
the late 1990's, many people forecasted that this would
have a significant effect on the world of commerce. While
these forecasts were, in general, true they were also
significantly underestimated. Today, the amount of internet
commerce that occurs has greatly expanded far beyond many
people's wildest dreams. In addition to all sorts of retail
and small business sales, a significant volume of banking
and financial transactions occur online as well. This has
led to many unique and innovative examples of variants on
traditional wire transfers and credit card and debit card
payments. One such unique and innovative financial transfer
service is Egold and it is growing rapidly in popularity by
the day. There are some, however, who may not have heard of
Egold yet and for these individuals a proper introduction
to Egold is necessary.
By its own definition, Egold is "electronic currency" that
is backed by gold reserves. In other words, the financial
transfers processed by Egold are back by the company's gold
bullion reserves and the payments that on makes are
essentially the electronic transfers of gold itself! The
way these transfers work is that one opens an account with
Egold and then transfers monetary value of gold to merchant
accounts that accept Egold payments. Of course, one could
also open a merchant account and receive payments as well
in the same manner other common online transaction services
operate.
There are a number of benefits to using Egold as a
financial transaction service and the most important of all
the benefits is that payment is instantaneous. That is to
say, there is no need to wait for a check to clear or
credits to be applied. All transfers are immediate and this
expedites the processing of all purchases made through
Egold. Additionally, because Egold trades in gold as its
currency it is the easiest to system for use on a worldwide
basis and is not reliant on currency conversions when
transferring funds for international purchases. In fact,
Egold credits can not be bought or sold in the form of any
national currency. It is gold bullion and it stays gold
bullion!
Of course, this brings about the question as to how one can
convert Egold into hard currency. The answer to this is
that there are a number of "exchange services" that can
remit gold into currency. The way in which Egold is
remitted varies and includes tried and true methods such as
cutting a check or money order, wire transfers, or even
credit card adjustments. As such, when you need to "cash
out" your Egold deposits there will be little difficulty in
converting it to cash.
Egold is a novel, unique and innovative means of internet
payment services. Its unique nature and user friendly
service will surely allow it to grow in popularity. Perhaps
in time it may even overtake some of the more popular forms
of online transaction services such as Paypal and Firepay.
This makes it a company well worth keeping an eye on.

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
Authentic costume jewelry, originally made popular during the
"Roaring Twenties", is considered a hot collector's item today
and has rapidly appreciated in value in recent years. Vintage
costume necklaces, bracelets, and other pieces were purchased by
American soldiers in French boutiques and brought home after the
first world war. U.S. companies began dominating costume jewelry
design and manufacturing from the late 1920's onward. Signed
vintage costume necklaces, rings, and other pieces are worth
more money. Some popular American companies known to produce
high quality and highly collectible pieces include:
Trifari
Eisenberg
Art
Carnegie
Coventry
But why are some costume jewelry pieces more valuable than
others and how do you identify the collectible pieces? The very
first true costume jewelry appeared on theatres throughout
Europe before being brought back to the States by American
G.I.'s returning home from World War I. American manufacturers
began dominating the industry from the 1920's onward. Trifari,
Coro, and dozens of American manufacturers soon began producing
the designs and pieces that are some of the most prized
collectibles on the vintage market today. If you know what you
are looking for and can distinguish the worthless knock-offs
from the genuine Eisenberg necklaces and other top pieces, then
you can literally make a great living--while having fun in the
process! Value is determined by:
Rarity of Piece
Demand
Design
Quality of Construction and Materials
Current Condition
The supply of vintage pieces is not evenly distributed which is
a large reason why there is so much diversity in pricing. The
jewelry itself was supplied by dozens of manufacturers. Batch
sizes could vary dramatically from one company to the next.
Coventry, Coro, and other larger manufacturers often made
thousands of pieces for every design. On the other side of the
coin, McClelland, DeMario and many of the smaller players might
only produce a few hundred of each design. When other pricing
variables are held constant, signed pieces from the small
companies tend to be worth more money. Still, careful research
is required because even larger manufacturers sometimes produced
specialty batches. These were smaller batches making the pieces
more valuable than others produced by the same company.
A piece of jewelry can be rare but command little demand for
some reason or another which will greatly affect value.
Basically, the higher the demand, the greater the price and vice
versa. For anyone looking for the hot items right now, signed
Miriam Haskell vintage jewelry is the best bet despite being a
bit eccentric in design. Being able to identify the hot items
from the pretty imitators is what separates the successful
collectors from the mere hobbyist. Avid collectors tend to
include popular pieces in their collections because they are
more profitable. In many cases, the collector doesn't even like
the particular piece!
So what factors actually affect the demand for any given piece
of jewelry? Demand for a piece is stimulated most by the actual
design of the jewelry. Seasoned collectors will not hesitate to
shun a signed piece in favor of an unsigned one featuring a
unique and impressive design. Ultimately, the unsigned piece
often proves profitable because it commands greater demand. A
large portion of the entire vintage costume stock is unsigned
despite having been made by some of the most respected companies
in the industry. Being able to identify quality or exceptional
designs is one way to spot the unsigned but valuable pieces.
Some of the most profitable unsigned pieces by manufacturers who
consistently produced high quality designs include those by
Holycraft and Florenza.
The quality of the stones and craftsmanship will ultimately
determine the success and overall popularity of any design. In
particular, the gemstone quality is of particular relevance to
the value of any vintage piece of jewelry. Gemstones of
exceptional quality were consistently used by a few of the major
manufacturers. Jewelry designs by Bogoff, Weiss, and Eisenberg
tend to be high value collectibles primarily because of their
exceptionally high quality.
Unless you happen to stumble across an unsigned Eisenberg
piece, you will find it hard to find this high-quality jewelry
at bargain prices. If you are trying to find some profitable
pieces to purchase at cheap prices but still command a lot with
serious investors, look for jewelry made by these companies:
Danecraft
Kramer
Bogoff
Weiss
Monet
The final component of the value determination is based upon
the current value of the jewelry. Expect lower values for
vintage costume pieces that have discoloration, rust, excessive
wear marks, or even lost stones. Despite having noticeable signs
of wear, most vintage jewelry pieces are still worth more today
than when they were originally sold. But if you know how to
locate the unsigned gems hiding in flea markets and online
auctions every day, then you can really make a bundle collecting
vintage costume pieces--even those with excessive signs of wear!

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
The Aston Martin DBR9 is manufactured by its racing division
and has had significant success since its inception in 2005. The
car is a GT1 racing class, and it got its name "DBR9" from it
predecessor the "DBR1", which was the first winning car in the
family that won the illustrious 1959 "24 Hours of LeMans" race
and in that same year the "World Sportscar" title as well. The
"DBR1" derived its name from then-owner David Brown, which
heralded the British back into the racing world once more. The
Aston Martin DBR9 was first shown to a very select few of people
back on 4th November 2004, at Aston Martin's headquarters in
Gaydon, UK, and its debut race was the "12 Hours of Sebring" in
March 2005.
The body of the car is designed in the conventional 2 door
coupe style, and has its foundations rooted from the Aston
Martin DB9 road car. And the DBR9 maintains some major
attributes from DB9 road car, for example the heads of the V12
engine, the cylinder block, and the chassis, whereas everything
else was made from scratch, and re-mastered for a superb
enhancement of the car's performance under tough competition
scenarios. The structure of the DBR9 is made up of an aluminum
roof, racing developed aluminum under-frame, which is derived
from the DB9, a high strength steel roll cage, and every other
body panel is made from a "carbon fibre composite".
Aston Martin DBR9's bodywork is a complete blending of maximum
aerodynamic performance, and the ease of use of a typical road
car, making movement on the track second nature to the car and
driver, resulting in a comfort and normalcy to everything that
the car is, also adding to the aerodynamics of the car. The
designer's aim was to make the entire bottom, from the rear
diffuser to the front, of the DBR9 flat as possible, with a
carbon wing attached to the backend in order to stimulate the
rear down-force, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-60mph in
just 3.4 seconds.
The specifications of the car are a width of 1978mm; a length
of 4767mm; a weight of 1100kg; a wheelbase of 2741mm; and a
height of 1195mm. The engine of the DBR9 consists of a "48 valve
Aston Martin Racing 6.0 litre V12" fabricated from all alloy and
a quad overhead camshaft, also the engine includes a "dry sump
lubrication system", and "2 x 31.2mm air restrictors". The 6.0
litre V12 max power peaks at 600 bhp, and with a torque of over
700 N m. The suspension of the car incorporates a double
wishbone at the front end and at the backend, with adaptable
Koni dampers equipped with Eibach springs. The braking system is
consists of both front and backend "Brembo six pot calipers"
with "330mm diameter carbon discs", all labouring around a set
of "OZ forged magnesium wheels". The arrangement and
configuration of the DBR9 comprises a "mid front mounted
engine", rear wheel drive, and a "mid rear mounted
transmission". The transmission, Xtrac, is built up of "six
speed sequential" that is longitudinally situated at the rear
axle, and is put to use by a "four plated carbon clutch". The
incorporated ECU/Data system encompasses a "Pi Data system" with
a "Pectel engine ECU".
Recently, there were changes in regulations to assist race car
drivers while racing the 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans race, and
Prodrive added these changes unto the car e.g. the installation
of air conditioning in the cockpit, and a heat resistant white
roof inside. Both to assist the driver by ensuring temperatures
are kept at a minimum, so performance levels from the driver
would go up. However, the items previously responsible for
cooling, the two hood vents, were removed because they were no
longer needed.
The racing history of the DBR9 is a prominent one, with its
major rival being Corvette Racing, where there as been some
tough rivalries over the past 3 years. DBR9 debuted by winning
the 2005 "12 Hours of Sebring" LMGT1 category. It came second

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
Many different elements go into making up the character of a
particular destination or location, whether it be a far flung
exotic city or your home town. It is the travel photographer's
job to cover these elements in order to present that character
to the viewer. This article looks into what goes into bringing
the character of a subject to the audience.
Essential Elements
There are many separate "parts" that make a location what it
is, but these generally boil down to landscape, people and
culture. Let's look at these in a little more depth.
Landscape
Every city, mountain range or coastal area has its own unique
look and feel. This might be created by architecture exclusive
to that part of the world, such as Gaudi's designs that are so
prominent in Barcelona. Or well known landmarks (Eiffel Tower
anyone?) or rough seas and steep cliffs like those so
characteristic of the northern coasts of Scotland and Ireland.
What does it look like in the morning? At night? The location
might take on several personalities through the day so it is
essential to try to capture as many of these as you can to give
a broader picture.
People
Possibly the most influential factor in the character of a
location is the people who live there. The way they look and
dress, the way they carry themselves, the lifestyle they live
and the customs they observe. Is there a particular piece of
clothing that defines them? Or maybe a certain characteristic.
For example, if they are known to be happy and smiling people,
show them as such. If they are known to be hardworking, try to
include some shots of workers.
Culture
This can encompass subjects such as food and drink. Local
dishes give an immediate insight into the way of life lived by
people of that area. Freshly caught seafood may be a specialty
of the area, or it may be famous for a particular dessert or
drink. Culture can also be shown in the festivals and events
held in the particular region. This might be an annual parade
where locals dress in the traditional costumes of their
ancestors, or a huge street party that captures the energy and
vibrancy of a population.
Putting It Together
To put these elements in photographic terms, I like to think of
the process as zooming in on a subject. Starting with the
landscape element described above, you essentially form an
overview, or wide angle view of the subject, capturing
surroundings. Distinctive buildings and landmarks give a feel
and sometimes instant recognition to the location. Zoom in to
form a collective portrait of the people, their way of life and
daily activities. It is a good idea to use both posed portraits
and candid shots to show personalities as well as customs and
way of life. Finally zooming in further to capture details such
as local food and dishes and detailed studies of buildings. Text
such as in shop signs shows languages spoken. Also any products
that are traditional or well known in the area. For example,
leather goods from Morocco, or electronics from Japan.
Travel photography is in a sense a very broad specialization.
Possibly not a specialization at all. A travel photographer
needs to be a landscape photographer, portrait photographer,
still life photographer and nature photographer often all in the
space of a single shooting session. Learn to cover all these
elements within the broader subject and you are well on your way
to becoming a more accomplished photographer.

Miele vacuum bags are the obvious choice if you own a Miele
vacuum. However, let us compare different styles of vacuums to
see if you need to change your personal choice of vacuum. One of
the main decisions when making your purchase is whether you want
a bagless or bagged vacuum. The bagless style is more expensive,
however with a bagged version you will need to purchase the
replacement bags.
A Miele bagged machine that uses Miele vacuum bags may be
considered more hygienic because all the dirt and dust is
collected inside a sealed bag. The bagless machine must have its
container emptied, which could be problematic if you have an
asthmatic or an allergy sufferer in the home. Therefore, it is
advisable to use a bagged machine if you have one of either
asthma or an allergy sufferer in the home.
The Miele Company has come out with a vacuum called the Red
Star, which has a hepa filter for filtration in it. This is a
bonus for people allergic to pet dander. Just suck up all the
pet hair into the Miele vacuum bag and the hepa filter will help
all the allergy sufferers.
Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkann in Herzebrock, Germany founded
the Miele Company in 1899. Now the company employs over fifteen
thousand employees. In 1927, they made their first vacuum and
are a leader in the field ever since. They offer vacuum cleaners
that are among the most powerful and effective in the industry.
Included in their cleaning systems are advanced filtration,
durability, and quality and of course the Miele vacuum bags.
The filtration system of the vacuum determines what size and
the quantity of the particles that expelled from the vacuum. The
Miele Company has been a market leader in the development of
filtration technology. There are three main types of filtration
available on vacuums today. Standard filtration is available on
the cheaper models and is not suited for allergy sufferers. The
other types of filtration are S-Class and Hepa filtration are
designed to reduce the amount of allergens emitted which,
results in cleaner outflow of air that is much safer for allergy
sufferers. S-class is a standard that the manufacturers must
adhere to in order to achieve the recommended filtration.
Hepa stands for high efficiency particulate air. Most models
use this technology today. One thing to note about the Miele
vacuum is that they are very efficient so you will need to
replace your Miele vacuum bags quite often.
There are many different Miele vacuum bags from to choose. It
all depends on the model of vacuum that you use. The combination
of a HEPA filter and the superior design of the Miele vacuum bag
help to eliminate dust and dirt from your home in a higher
degree of effectiveness than your standard vacuum cleaner.
Replace the filter and bag according to the manufacturer's
recommendations to ensure the highest performance of your
machine. Bags can be purchased online from many authorized
dealers or from your local vacuum supplier.

On The Internet?

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
The vehicle that you have chosen to establish your
Hundred-Fold-Life is a business on the Internet. That's great!
Now your new business is up and running and you have a dynamite
looking website. If your business is strictly online, it is
imperative that you bring visitors to the site in order to make
any sales. Whether you are selling products or services, you
need visitors, just like traditional brick and mortar retailers
need customer count to make any money, online retailers need
visitors.
The difference is with traditional retailers people might see a
sign as they drive down the street on which the business is
located. With the Internet, there may be hundreds of thousands
of similar businesses they accidentally pass while surfing the
Internet. Being found accidentally can be exciting but will
hardly be profitable and you will need to take steps to make
sure enough people can find you to make keeping the business
open worth your time and effort.
There are a couple of ways most internet businesses use to
improve their chances of being found, including search engine
marketing, article marketing and affiliate marketing. While any
one method can offer a degree of success, online companies that
combine two or more methods often have the most success.
However, it all comes down to budget and the amount of sweat
equity you have to invest in the business.
Search engine marketing is making sure the website is found and
indexed by search engines so that when a user enters specific
key words into the engine, your website appears close to the top
of the rankings. Most of this effort is in how the website is
constructed and how appealing it is to search engines. Minor
mistakes, as well as changes in search engine algorithms can
require changes in the website, but it helps websites be found
during a search.
Article marketing is part of search engine marketing, but plays
more towards attracting human visitors. The website owner writes
informative articles about their products or services without
being too sales-oriented, providing general information about
their product line. They then offer these articles to other
websites, free of charge, to help provide useful information to
their visitors. A writer's block, containing the website address
is included in the article, and must remain part of the article
when published for free.
When a visitor to the other site reads the article and, if they
like what they have read, may be tempted to visit the website
linked at the bottom of the article. With some of the
distribution services, it is possible for the article to be
distributed to thousands of other websites, giving the original
site that much more potential to be found through means other
than search engines.
Affiliate marketing is an agreement you make with other website
owners to pay them a percentage of any sales generated by a
referral from their website. You create the ads and the owner of
the other site places it on their site. When one of their
visitors clicks through to your site and makes a purchase, you
pay an established commission. This is essentially advertising
for free, paying only if you see results.
Building your online business along with your Hundred-Fold-Life
may need a combination of strategies and I highly recommended it
for the best results. There are many companies that will offer
to bundle of those services. Shop around before you chose one.
Remember that low price is not always the best deal.

What Are The Benefits of Prepaid Credit Cards?
Prepaid credit cards have become all the rage lately as
these cards provide a valuable financial transaction
service that many people have long since needed.
Essentially, prepaid credit cards are not credit cards at
all because they do not extend credit. That service is the
ability to use a debit card wherever credit cards are
accepted. Instead of advancing credit charges one draws
from a finite amount of deposited cash. Now, some may
consider this a somewhat unnecessary service, but when one
examines the benefits of prepaid credit cards it becomes
obvious that these cards have a great deal to offer.
For starters, prepaid credit cards are a great way to
protect oneself from fraud. While we would all like to
assume that the world is made up of honest people, it is
not. As such, there have been a great number of instances
where people have been defrauded of their credit card
funds. This happens often online as a number of less than
reputable sellers operating out of seemingly unknown
locations in the world rip people off for their credit card
information. Considering the following common scenario: a
person finds a website selling used books and makes a
purchase using credit card information and when the credit
card statement arrives it is discovered that the $5 book
purchase led to $2,000 of purchases with the provided (and
compromised) credit card information. Now, a prepaid credit
card would be quite beneficial in this instance or in any
instance where one is purchasing from an unknown vendor.
For example, one could keep a very minimal amount on the
prepaid card (say $20) so that if it is compromised the
losses will be minimal and the card can simply be discarded.
Also, these prepaid credit cards are the same as using cash
to pay for items without having to carry cash around. This
can provide a safety net so to speak if the card is lost or
stolen. For example, if you record the account number of
the prepaid card and the card ends up being lost you could
quickly transfer the balance of the card to another
account. This way, no money is lost. Now, if a wallet full
of cash was lost then...oh well...it is gone forever. As
such, the ability to replace cash with an alternate means
of payment is always a huge positive particularly one that
also has a threshold limit of spending much lower than a
credit card as a lost credit card can prove even more
calamitous than lost cash.
Another aspect of prepaid credit cards that is supremely
beneficial is the fact that these cards are based on a
finite amount of money as opposed to advancing money on a
borrowed basis. For some, there is a lack of desire to
amass credit card debt, but the need for a credit card in
the modern world is generally unavoidable. Additionally,
there will be those individuals who would like a credit
card but for a number or reasons they are turned down due
to bad credit, lack of credit, etc. In regards to these
problems, these prepaid credit cards come in handy as they
provide a solution to such a dilemma.
As one can see, prepaid credit cards have a host of
benefits that speak volumes for the value of these cards.
So, if worries about lost or stolen cash or credit cards,
overextending oneself on credit or simply wanted to avoid
the complexities of applying for a credit card, prepaid
credit cards provide a simple, safe and sane solution. What
better of an endorsement could one ask for than that?

Planning a new job or career move in 2008? Whether you are a
new graduate looking for the best match for your degree, a
laid-off middle manager or just an hourly employee who's tired
of your current job, it would pay to do some research and
planning before you make a career move in 2008. Globalism and
the international marketplace are affecting great changes in
America's workforce. Manufacturing is the one sector of
America's economy that is perhaps most negatively effected by
the forces of globalism. With the outsourcing of so many
American manufacturing jobs overseas, and the moving of
factories to foreign states, careers associated with
manufacturing like industrial electricians, mechanical
engineers, and quality control technicians are experiencing a
decline.
Other career fields are experiencing an increasing demand for
workers however, among these are health care workers, dental
technicians, marketing professionals and translators. With the
changing global economy it is important to be aware of what
factors are at work and what trends are driving demand for
workers in business sectors that are currently expanding.
In addition to these considerations, it would be a good idea to
assess, or re-assess your personal goals, interests, talents,
training and abilities. We all have a fairly good idea of what
we are good at, and what we are interested in, but many times
interest and aptitude tests can reveal a hidden passion or
talent that we may not fully realize we had. If you discover
some hidden potential or interest within yourself, such
information would be valuable indeed when considering possible
future career paths. Here's a great website to take free
aptitude, interest and IQ tests:
http://web.tickle.com/take/ free-online- career-aptitude- test.jsp
It's tough finding a job these days, no doubt, but it's very
important to be persistent, and stay focused. You may have to
make some compromises along the way – accept a lower paying job
in a related field, or go back to school for more training, but
as long as you don't give up – you're never defeated. Keep
hammering away, make adjustments to your plans when necessary,
continue to gather information about opportunities and your own
abilities and the payoff, (or payday), will come eventually.
One thing to consider also – ideas for low, or even
no-investment businesses have absolutely NOT been exhausted.
People are constantly inventing new niche markets or finding a
need that can be serviced for a profit. Many people are finding
sustainable careers nowadays in everything from home day care to
college resume and fax services to independent web design and
marketing. So consider… do you have a talent or ability that you
could market? Can you see a need for a service you can provide
to your local community? Many people are currently making
incredible incomes from things they started on a whim or hunch
part time that somehow turned into a rewarding full-time career.
One thing in common with many such success stories is the fact
that the individuals involved started doing something that they
enjoyed or had an intense interest in, therefore they had a
driving force other than just money to propel them toward a goal
that often-times developed along the way.

INTRODUCTION
The philosophy of education is to acquire right knowledge of
different aspects and dimensions of the world around us and to
disseminate the same for the benefit of the individual, society,
nation and world.
The present day's education, though has undergone a radical
change, with the development of modern science and technology,
especially the computers, much needs to be done on the holistic
approach to education, which can evolve personality. One might
get tremendous amounts of information by logging on to the
Internet, and the glut of information will lead to information
garbage. In spite of all these we are lagging in imparting right
education to right people thereby, creating disharmony.
Therefore, one needs to have proper guidance and an evolved
system which will lead to evolution of personality. This system
should have a positive impact on the thinking process, beliefs,
attitudes with its holistic approach to concepts, methods and
techniques; thus creating harmony and ushering in peace.
Today, in majority of the cases, mathematics is considered to
be a dry subject and still notion exists that it is only for the
intelligent. Many dread mathematics, because the teachers
themselves teach in an unimpressive way and the joy of making
learning of mathematics a pleasurable experience is almost
lacking. This is found right from the school to the college
level.
In this regard, Vedic/Ancient Indian Mathematics (VM/AIM) with
its wonderful concepts, methods and techniques, which have stood
the test of time comes in handy for imparting a holistic,
creative education in mathematics.
The Vedic Seers and Ancient Indian Scientists and
Mathematicians perceived mathematics in Nature, in the form of
primordial concepts, the different shapes and patterns
symbolising the cosmic truths in the Micro and Macro aspects.
Mathematics was developed right from the fundamental concepts
of Numerals, Place value, Zero and Infinity to the advanced
concepts finding their applications in the Artificial
Intelligence, computer based numerical methods, philosophy,
science, arts, etc. In fact, one will be baffled by the fertile
imagination of the ancient seers and scholars, who perceived
mathematics in nature in all its glory and expressed the great
mathematical truths and concepts through hymns, theorems and
postulates which are lyrically beautiful, yet mathematically
precise which speak volumes about them. It goes without saying
that these methods, concepts and techniques of Mathematics in
the form of Slokas and Sutras (Aphorisms) were conceived by the
Ancient Indian Seers and scholars, centuries before their modern
counterparts.
OBJECTIVE
(a) The present objective is to create an awareness about the
vast potential of the Vedic/Ancient Indian Mathematics
(V.M./A.I.M.) for the curriculum development and R & D works.
(b) To demonstrate with practical examples chosen from
different levels of mathematics education; the benefits of
learning V.M./A.I.N. like faster computing time, alternative and
creative approach to problem solving, etc. This is substantiated
by the results of number of workshops and case studies
conducted.
(c) To motivate scientists scholars, teachers, philosophers and
others to take up an in-depth study of VM/AIM in proper
perspective and adopt it to the modern times, so that a great
amount of this wonderful traditional knowledge is revived and
developed which would be a true homage to the Seers and
Scientists of yore.
(d) Last but not the least, to pave way for the adoption of
time tested VM/AIM in the school/college curriculum and
establish dedicated RBD centres.
APPROACH
An Integrated approach for the study and learning VM/AIM is
made:
(i) Mathematical concepts embodied in the Vedas, Upanishads.
(ii) 'Vedic Mathematics' as expounded by H. H. Bharatikrishna
Teerthaji consisting of 16 Aphorisms and 16 Corollaries,
covering different topics in Mathematics, right from the
fundamental Arithmetic operations to the higher level of
Mathematics.
(iii) Ancient Indian Mathematics – contribution by various
mathematicians of yore up to the celebrated genius Ramanuja.
This integrated approach is unique of its kind. Various methods
techniques are culled out, analysed and are expressed in modern
mathematical notations, making it easily adaptable.
SELECTION CRITERIA
The methods and techniques are selected based on the following
criteria. If the VM/AIM methods are better than the conventional
ones in terms of step size, length, computation time, elegance
and novelty, either individually or collectively, then these are
selected in place of the conventional ones.
TECHNIQUE
The teaching of VM/AIM is done following the usual techniques
like lecturing, using Audio-visual equipments like OHP, slide
projector, computer aided learning, etc.
Before we go into the subject of VM/AIM in terms of examples,
it is imperative to know at least some fundamental facts about
the Vedas, their nature, structure, etc., which would facilitate
in understanding and appreciating the mathematical concepts
embodied in the Vedas.
Vedas are the earliest systematic literature in the entire
world existing since thousands of years, which have stood the
test of time and continue to challenge the mankind with renewed
freshness and vitality. Vedas, which are the fountain head of
knowledge and wisdom, are built upon sound structure which are
definite, clear, unambiguous, generative and complete, thus
satisfying the properties of an algorithm! This amply proves the
fact that the Vedas are the highest revelations to the Rsis
(Seers) of Yore and are not a mere compendium and collection of
literature from different parts of the world, and no second
version of Vedas exists anywhere. Hence, the Vedas have to be
studied and analysed in proper perspective, in order to bring
out the truths hidden in them. Now let us take some stock
illustrations from Vedas and other ancient Indian sources in
Mathematics at different levels i.e. right from the fundamental
level of Arithmetic to Algebra, Calculus, Quadratics,
Polynomials, Astronomy, Geometry, etc. which will give a glimpse
of the vast scope of the same.
Now coming to the Vedas, the most outstanding, fundamental
contribution for which the entire world is beholden to ancient
India is the invention of decimal numerals (with place values),
zero and infinity, for example: 576, 685, 1998, etc. Can there
be a more elegant, better method where the digits placed in the
units, tenths, hundredths or thousandth place, indicate their
respective values and magnitude.
In arithmetic operations one finds use of complimentary numbers
very effectively and finds 10 different varieties of
multiplication based on the Vedic mathematical Sutras propounded
by H. H. Bharatikrishna Teertha (1880-1964). He being a
brilliant scholar and Saint discovered 16 aphorisms and 16
corollaries after 8 years of intense penance, covering
variegated topics (both elementary and advanced) in mathematics.
Consider the following examples:
(i) Complimentary numbers Here the objective is to convert all
the numerals greater than 5 to less than 5 in order to
facilitate speedy calculation and reduce carry over. For ex.
9,8,7,6 are expressed as 1,2,3 & 4 respectively with base as 10.
(ii) Using complimentary notation known as 'Vinculum' following
examples will make clear, about the usage and benefits of this:
(a) 28 -> 32 [eq. to 30-2]
(b) 19 -> 21 [eq. to 20-1]
(c) 278 -> 322 [eq. 300-22]
(d) 289621 -> 310421
Note: whenever complimentary notations are used, the digit
preceding, gets augmented by 1 and while normalising it gets
reduced by 1. In the example (d) we see how only the digits
greater than 5 are converted and the others remain as they are.
Before we take up other topics in Mathematics we cannot help
but quote some examples on the philosophical aspect of numbers,
which the ancient seers very effectively utilised.
Now let us consider this very interesting example. The idea of
counting nine numbers and zero which is an Indian system is
closely connected with nine months of development of human
embryo. Man develops in nine months through nine successive
stages, like the nine number and completes his birth in the 10th
and this is the 10th Avatara of 'MAN' to put it figuratively.
Similarly the body has nine openings (Navadvara) and the 10th
being the Brahmadvara which can be located in the soft region in
the head in a new born infant. This small micro-opening called
the Brahmarandhra. At the top of the head through which a yogi
leaves the body. Thus the 10th opening is the gate to the
highest stage of development, similar to his birth from the womb
in the 10th month. In the former he is delivered downwards and
in the lateral upwards! This is the essence of story of
deliverance of man from the imprisoning restrictions of matter
which has been beautifully delineated in many philosophical
Tantric and musical texts.
Similarly the concept of Sets and cardinal numbers are
conceived by the Seers and scholars. For example we have deep
significance for numbers like seven as Saptaswara (seven basic
notes in Music), Sapta Rsis (seven great sages), Saptavarna
(seven colours), nine planets (Navagrahas), Navanidhi (nine
treasures), Dasadik (ten directions), Ekadasa Rudra (eleven
Rudras), Dvadasamasa (twelve months), Saptavimsat Nakshatrah (27
stars) etc.
Similarly we can quote many examples from different branches of
mathematics, even in geometry: the Sulva Sutras (which are the
origin of geometry) make use of this branch of mathematics to
construct varieties of altars for the purposes of sacrifices.
The magnificent temples which stand testimony to the skills and
designs of the workers are the living examples of applied
mathematics.
Mathematics was also brought into worship by use of
Mantrabandhas which are nothing but mystical geometric diagrams
inscribed with digits or cosmic energy capsules (beejaksharas).
These diagrams are of various sizes, shapes and colours. The
word of Mantra and Tantra is indeed a network of energies,
forces and vectors and are very dynamic. These geometric forms
indicate outward manifestation of the spirit so as to exert its
influence in the desired manner. The power possessed by the
Yantra (graphical representation) is sought to be stepped up by
their inscription and infusion of the appropriate Mantra. In
short these can be termed in the modern context as the printed
circuit boards which vibrate into light through the electrical
energy passed and performs the desired functions independently
and collectively. The Yantra is the basic hardware and the
Mantra is the software.
CONCLUSIONS
1. Vedic/Ancient Indian Mathematics (VM/AIM) with their novel
methods, techniques and approach help the learners to develop
their aptitude and creative rational thinking.
2. The VM/AIM which have stood the test of time for centuries
with their novel creative approach and techniques help the
students to develop their intuitive capacity, which in turn has
a positive impact on the right half of the brain, paving way for
the holistic development.
3. Many workshops and courses conducted for students of
different classes, be it urban or rural, have proved the
efficacy of these and the results are very encouraging.
4. It has been found from practical trials that one year
portion of school curriculum in mathematics can be completed in
about 60% of the time, thus making learning faster and
enjoyable. In fact VM/AIM has been popularly known as 'Maths
with Smiles'.
5. This will prove to be a boon for all the competitive exams,
with its much faster and accurate results and can be adopted
globally.
6. Learning of VM/AIM leads to education in different
dimensions and appreciate philosophy, religion in better
perspective which in turn has a positive impact on the
personality development, leading to harmony and peace.
7. VM/AIM open up new vistas for R&D, especially on computer
based numerical methods, development of new algorithms apart
from opening up of frontier areas of interdisciplinary research.
Example: Nyayasastra (one of the six Darshanas has wonderful
scope in Artificial Intelligence). The author has already culled
out and developed about 15 computer based numerical methods
based on VM/AIM which are unique of their kind.
8. The Ancient Indian Mathematics not only kept up the
curriculum development, but also made mathematics interesting to
house wives, common people and people from non-mathematical
areas of study. They composed aphorisms, slokas and hymns, which
were lyrically beautiful yet mathematically precise, thus
contributing to the holistic development of the subject.
9. Last but not the least, study and practice of VM/AIM with
their creative and novel approach can aid in holistic
development of personality. This will not only revive the
ancient treasure of knowledge and wisdom, but also will be a
true homage to the great Seers and Scholars of Yore.

The Kruger National Park South Africa has long been the place
to visit on a South Africa Safari Vacation. Then there is only
one place to stay, and that is the Royal Malewane when you are
on a South Africa Game Safari.
Yet having said that Game Drives are not the only reason to
come here.
Royal Malewane will give you a range of activities from game
drives to bush walks, spa treatments, and wonderful new
gymnasium, and game watching from the verandah or the swimming
pool. This is a real haven of peace and quiet whilst being
completely surrounded by the African Bush. This is why people
who value their privacy come here.
Seclusion is the best word to describe the suites at the Royal
Malewane. They are simply enormous with canopied King size beds,
window sized Victorian baths, and indoor and outdoor showers,
with views to die for from the suites. In addition they are air
conditioned, and yet have a fireplace. There are six one
bedroomed suites, and the two bedroomed Royal and Malewane
Suites with their own personal butlers. Each suite is
unforgettably old colonial Africa in concept.
To sit on your veranda and watch the splendors of Africa unfold
in front of you is bewitching, because the fact that all the
suites are raised up on stilts gives you the elevation to
improve your view no end. The plunge pool of the suite might
even be used by passing elephants to sneak a drink from it is
that close up and personal.
Elevated walkways link the suites to the main lodge continues
the old colonial theme in its furnishings, and even dining is in
keeping with the best china silver and crystal.
The service is exceptional, and the food is exceptional, with a
great wine list It is extraordinary the first time you look up
from the dinner table in the middle of a sumptuous feast to see
a group of elephants walking by..
Royal Malewane is at once luxury, and then unforgettable, and
thirdly almost without fault. Places don't come much better than
this, with a maximum of sixteen guests in the Thornybush Game
Reserve area right next to the Kruger National Park. This is the
home to lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino amongst others,
and to over 250 recorded birs species. This will give you one of
the best game viewing experiences in South Africa if not all of
Africa.
The Kruger National Park South Africa has many quality lodges
but nothing like Royal Malewane which somehow manages to combine
colonial splendour with the quality of hospitality and
facilities associated with the best traditions of the 21st
Century.
Of course you take a South Africa Game Safari to see game, and
you will find that the staff do all in their power to ensure you
see what you want to see, with great rangers and trackers to
ensure this happens, and their enthusiasm and knowledge is huge.
The Royal Malewane has to be seen to be believed. It really is
the place to stay for the Kruger National Park, and it will give
you a totally memorable South Africa Game Safari Vacation.

There several species of hydrangea, but only about five of them
are widely grown in the United States. The most popular include
the hydrangea vines, the oakleaf, the paniculata, the mophead,
and the lacecap. Each of them has both similarities and
differences, but they produce enchanting flowers. They
definitely brighten the landscape and the flowers are precious
to florists and decorators.
Characteristics of Common Hydrangeas
Hydrangea vines are climbing plants that produce awesome
flowers. There a several kinds and they usually grow well when
given to the room to climb on the side of the house or on a
tree. They don't require trellises. They simply attach to planar
surfaces and holdfast. The flowers that grow on these types of
vines are usually white, cream, light pink or pastel yellow.
For brighter flowers, the mophead or lacecap type is
preferable. They feature flowers in colors such as bright blue
and several shades of pink and purple, as well as white. The
mophead plant is a bush while the lacecaps are more of a shrub
that grows nicely around other shrubs and trees.
The oakleaf hydrangeas are original because of the shape and
behavior of their leaves. Sure, they have stunning flowers that
usually are white (occasionally pink as they age), but the
leaves of the oakleaf hydrangea are shaped like an oak leaf and
the leaf itself changes colors adorning red, burgundy, yellow,
and orange in the fall. They are just beautiful.
The paniculata variety of hydrangeas is like a bush with blooms
that are kind of cone-shaped. The flowers are similar to the
lilac, but they are usually white and change into a pink blush
color as the bloom ages.
Planting Hydrangeas
When choosing which kind of hydrangeas to plant, consider the
characteristics of the different types, but also check your zone
against the recommended zones for growing hydrangeas. Some of
them won't grow in certain climates. There are so many different
kinds of hydrangeas, that it isn't possible to provide a single
method for planting them. Most plants come with planting
instructions and it is recommended that you follow them.
Some require lots of sun while some are better off in the shade
although most of them will grow well with morning sun and
afternoon shade. The oakleaf does okay in extreme heat while
other hydrangeas do not. If in complete shade, all of the
hydrangeas will have problems blooming. Spacing of the plants is
also important, so follow the instructions that come with the
plant. When transplanting hydrangeas, it is best to plant them
when they are blooming or dormant.
Caring for Hydrangeas
Most hydrangeas require moist soil but need to have good
drainage. The oakleaf is especially sensitive to root rot if the
soil does not drain well. They need fertilizer and for a
thriving plant with blooms, provide fertilizer frequently.
Hydrangeas benefit from pruning. Dead blooms and stems should
always be removed. Other pruning can be done to control height.
The time and the method of pruning depend on the type of
hydrangea you are dealing with. Look up the recommended pruning
methods for your plant in particular.
Drying Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are gorgeous when they are blooming and they a
wonderful addition to landscape. However, they are also good for
decorating and that requires drying the blooms which is a whole
other ballgame. There are several methods for drying flowers
including hanging them up-side-down and pumping them full of
glycerin and colored dye.
The easiest, most successful way is to dry them naturally when
it comes to hydrangeas. To do this, you pick flowers just before
the top blooms open up all the way. You cut the stem to where
it's about a foot long. Trim off the leaves and put the cut
flowers in vase that is at least eight inches tall. Locate the
vase in a cool area that isn't subject to sunlight; dark
hallways are perfect places for drying hydrangeas. Fill the vase
with about six inches of water and let it evaporate naturally.
After the water evaporates, the hydrangea will be dry and ready
to use.
With dried hydrangeas, you truly get the full life span out of
your flowers. They are beautiful on the plant, as fresh cut
flowers, and as dried flowers used in floral arrangements,
wreaths, and other craft projects. Not all hydrangeas dry well,
but most do.
Growing and drying hydrangeas is an experience you are sure to
love. You can usually find the shrubs and bushes in any garden
center. Of course, you can order your hydrangea plants from
vendors through mail order or over the internet.

CRM best practices come and go. Here one year and gone the
next. This is a little scary if you think about it. These
practices are supposed to ensure the success of your enterprise.
So if they change from time to time, does that mean that CRM
best practices are actually a myth? Good news. There is a way to
separate the good ideas from the potential disasters. That is to
look back at history. There is nothing new under the sun. That
also holds true for CRM best practices. Let us take a look at
what history has already taught us.
Ideas and Myths
A common misconception is that technology is always involved in
CRM best practices. This is simply not true. A single package
will not solve all of your problems. If there is no
organizational involvement, the package will not do much for
you. If there is no concerted effort to apply the system in an
evolving and adaptive manner, all that technology just goes to
waste. There has to be a change in the mindset. The package will
not do your job for you. Problems are not solved by tools but
those who use the tools.
It may also surprise you to know that some CRM best practices
come from non-CRM-specific technology. So go check your existing
IT resources. You may just have the components you need for your
CRM system. Learn to use creativity to solve this problem. It
has the advantage of introducing CRM into your organization
without the need for a large and costly investment. An example
would be using a human resources management system to track
customer information instead.
The Bottome Line
CRM is also, ultimately, about results. It is not just focused
on process as some would have you believe. All this effort
should have an impact on your customer's experience. It should
also have an impact on your bottom line. You must place your CRM
initiatives within these contexts if you hope to derive any
benefit. But even though it's not solely about process, CRM is
still process-based. Any successful initiative necessarily must
have a process modification. It could be a small process or a
large process. It does not matter. Just as long as there is a
change. That is the only way for CRM to have value.
Something to avoid is to take on a narrowly focused CRM
initiative. These are the projects that try to address a single
customer-relationship problem. This simply does not work. What
happens is that a number of these projects are developed and
effort is halted. It is much more efficient to diversify within
the context of a single, integrated CRM effort.
Since we are talking about framework, let us end with that
idea. Build the framework first then add functionality to it.
Hopefully, your initiatives are long-term strategic efforts and
not reactive stopgap measures. Create your top levels first
before going into all the details. Map out all your important
points. Then, you can go ahead and create the lower level
efforts within this framework. This avoids confusion and divided
energies.
