Must read.<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are; </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Who is earning almost as much as you do; </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who has dreams and aspirations just as </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">you have because she is as human as you are; </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">much as you do for 20-25 years of her life; </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you; </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities; </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met; </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her; </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But not many guys understand this...... </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Please appreciate "HER".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Respect Her. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Forward this to as many women as possible... they'll love you for it! </strong></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Forward this to as many men as you can so that they'll know why women are so special :-) </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Have a wonderful day!!</strong></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />

Real-Life Story!!<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A real story!! Worthwhile to share... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A gossip between a passenger and Software Engineer in </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Shatabdi Express!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">An interesting and a must read!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Vivek Pradhan was not a happy man.. Even the comfort of the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">air-conditioned compartment of the Shatabdi express could not cool his </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">frayed nerves. He was the Project Manager and still not entitled to </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">air travel. It was not the prestige he sought, he had tried to reason </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">with the admin person, it was the savings in time. As PM, he had so </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">many things to do!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He opened his case and took out the laptop, determined to put the time </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">to some good use.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'Are you from the software industry sir?' the man beside him was </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">staring appreciatively at the laptop. Vivek glanced briefly and </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">mumbled in affirmation, handling the laptop now with exaggerated care </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">and importance as if it were an expensive car.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'You people have brought so much advancement to the country, Sir. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Today everything is getting computerized.'</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'Thanks,' smiled Vivek, turning around to give the man a look. He </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">always found it difficult to resist appreciation. The man was young </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">and stockily built like a sportsman..... He looked simple and </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">strangely out of place in that little lap of luxury like a small town</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">boy in a prep school. He probably was a railway sportsman making the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">most of his free traveling pass.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'You people always amaze me,' the man continued, 'You sit in an office </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">and write something on a computer and it does so many big things </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">outside.'</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Vivek smiled deprecatingly. Naiveness demanded reasoning not anger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'It is not as simple as that my friend. It is not just a question of </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">writing a few lines. There is a lot of process that goes behind it.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For a moment, he was tempted to explain the entire Software D</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">evelopment Lifecycle but restrained himself to a single statement.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'It is complex, very complex.'</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'It has to be. No wonder you people are so highly paid,' came the reply.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This was not turning out as Vivek had thought. A hint of belligerence </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">crept into his so far affable, persuasive tone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'Everyone just sees the money. No one sees the amount of hard work we </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">have to put in. Indians have such a narrow concept of hard work. Just </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">because we sit in an air-conditioned office, does not mean our brows </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">do not sweat. You exercise the muscle; we exercise the mind and </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">believe me that is no less taxing.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He could see, he had the man where he wanted, and it was time to drive </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">home the point.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'Let me give you an example. Take this train. The entire railway </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">reservation system is computerized. You can book a train ticket </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">between any two stations from any of the hundreds of computerized </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">booking centers across the country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thousands of transactions accessing a single database, at a time </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">concurrently; data integrity, locking, data security. Do you </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">understand the complexity in designing and coding such a system?'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The man was awestruck; quite like a child at a planetarium. This was </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">something big and beyond his imagination.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'You design and code such things?'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'I used to,' Vivek paused for effect, 'but now I am the Project Manager.'</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'Oh!' sighed the man, as if the storm had passed over, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'so your life is easy now.'</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This was like the last straw for Vivek. He retorted, 'Oh come on, does</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> ever get easy as you go up the ladder. Responsibility only brings </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">more work. Design and coding! That is the easier part. Now I do not do </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">it, but I am responsible for it and believe me, that is far more stressful. My </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">job is to get the work done in time and with the highest quality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">To tell you about the pressures, there is the customer at one end, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">always changing his requirements, the user at the other, wanting </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">something else, and your boss, always expecting you to have finished </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">it yesterday.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Vivek paused in his diatribe, his belligerence fading with </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">self-realization. What he had said, was not merely the outburst of a </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">wronged man, it was the truth. And one need not get angry while </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">defending the truth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'My friend,' he concluded triumphantly, 'you don't know what it is to </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">be in the Line of Fire'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The man sat back in his chair, his eyes closed as if in realization.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When he spoke after sometime, it was with a calm certainty that </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">surprised Vivek.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'I know sir,..... I know what it is to be in the Line of Fire......'</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He was staring blankly, as if no passenger, no train existed, just a </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">vast expanse of time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'There were 30 of us when we were ordered to capture Point 4875 in the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">cover of the night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The enemy was firing from the top.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There was no knowing where the next bullet was going to come from and for whom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In the morning when we finally hoisted the tri-colour at the top only </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4 of us were alive.'</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'You are a...?'</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'I am Subedar Sushant from the 13 J&K Rifles on duty at Peak 4875 in </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Kargil. They tell me I have completed my term and can opt for a soft </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">assignment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But, tell me sir, can one give up duty just because it makes life easier?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On the dawn of that capture, one of my colleagues lay injured in the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">snow, open to enemy fire while we were hiding behind a bunker.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It was my job to go and fetch that soldier to safety. But my captain S</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">ahib refused me permission and went ahead himself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He said that the first pledge he had taken as a Gentleman Cadet was to </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">put the safety and welfare of the nation foremost followed by the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">safety and welfare of the men he commanded... ....his own personal </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">safety came last, always and every time.'</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'He was killed as he shielded and brought that injured soldier into </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">the bunker.. Every morning thereafter, as we stood guard, I could see </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">him taking all those bullets, which were actually meant for me. I </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">know sir....I know, what it is to be in the Line of Fire.'</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Vivek looked at him in disbelief not sure of how to respond. Abruptly, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">he switched off the laptop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It seemed trivial, even insulting to edit a Word document in the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">presence of a man for whom valour and duty was a daily part of life; </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">valour and sense of duty which he had so far attributed only to epical </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">heroes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The train slowed down as it pulled into the station, and Subedar </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sushant picked up his bags to alight. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'It was nice meeting you sir.'</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Vivek fumbled with the handshake.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This hand... had climbed mountains, pressed the trigger, and hoisted </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">the tri-colour. Suddenly, as if by impulse, he stood up at attention </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">and his right hand went up in an impromptu salute....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It was the least he felt he could do for the country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">PS: The incident he narrated during the capture of Peak 4875 is a </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">true-life incident during the Kargil war. Capt. Batra sacrificed his </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">life while trying to save one of the men he commanded, as victory was </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">within sight. For this and various other acts of bravery, he was </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">awarded the Param Vir Chakra, the nation's highest military award.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Live humbly, there are great people around us, let us learn!</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
STROKE IDENTIFICATION: </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br />
During a</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i> </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>party</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) <br />
<br />
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br />
She had suffered a stroke at the </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>party</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i> </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span> </div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:</span></div><div> </div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br />
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><u><br />
<br />
RECOGNIZING A STROKE </u></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br />
<br />
Remember the '3' steps, </i></span><b><span style="font-size: small;"><i>STR </i></span></b><span style="font-size: small;"><i>. Read and Learn! </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">three simple questions</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">: </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
S</span><span style="font-size: small;"> * </span><span style="font-size: small;">Ask the individual to </span><span style="font-size: small;">SMILE </span><span style="font-size: small;">.. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
T</span><span style="font-size: small;"> * = TALK. </span><span style="font-size: small;">Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg '<i>It is sunny out today'</i>).</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
R</span><span style="font-size: small;"> * </span><span style="font-size: small;">Ask him or her to </span><span style="font-size: small;">RAISE </span><span style="font-size: small;">BOTH ARMS . </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call <u>the ambulance</u> and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><br />
<br />
NOTE </u>: Another 'sign' of a stroke is </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br />
1.</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i> </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. <br />
2.</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i> </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hiring activities in India Inc have gone up by 15-20% in the last four months compared with 2008, an indication that the job market is opening up and companies are loosening controls imposed on recruitment, training expenses and salary hikes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">HR consulting firms FE spoke to said the calendar year 2010 looks hopeful not only on the hiring front, but for salaries and bonuses as well. However, companies will continue to remain conservative on salary hikes across the board.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The exorbitant salaries and huge bonuses for people at the top management level, which saw a dip of about 25-30% in their cost to company (CTC) during the slowdown, could go up by 15-20% in 2010. This will include managing directors, chief executives, chief financial officers, senior vice-presidents and executive directors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">"In percentage terms, the total package might not move up significantly, but other benefits like perks and variable pay are expected to increase," said Arunima Sharma, principal consultant at Execuzen. Moreover, huge bonuses of about 80-100% will now shrink to 30-50%.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The top-level salary in the BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance) sector at present is more than Rs 1 crore per annum compared with more than Rs 2-3 crore in the beginning of 2008.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In the manufacturing and engineering sectors, it is still lower at around Rs 80 lakh, compared with Rs 1 crore earlier. IT/ITeS, which took the maximum hit during the downturn, is ready to give salaries in the range of Rs 1.5 to Rs 5 crore. Pharma is still lower by 10-15% against the 2008 levels. Salary at the top level in this sector is between Rs 75 and 80 lakh per annum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In the media sector, current salaries at the top level are more than Rs 1 crore, whereas, for retail and real estate sector, salaries might go up from Rs 75 lakhs and Rs 1 crore, respectively, per annum .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Said Shiv Agrawal, CEO of ABC Consultants, "Salaries at the top level are expected to increase in the range of 8-15%. The 15-20% hike will be exceptional for very good performers. The 2010 salaries will see more variable pay component, which will be performance driven."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">According to Sharma, more and more expats from Europe and Japan are also looking to come back to India, especially in the financial services and advertising sectors. "I expect that by March 2010, we will see a turnaround and things will be back to normal in terms of salaries," she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Meanwhile, experts say hiring will continue, albeit to meet pent up demand (where hiring was frozen in the downturn and is now opening up).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">According to Naukri JobSpeak index for November 2009, hiring activities saw a significant push across all sectors with auto, insurance and telecom sectors seeing a double-digit percentage growth.</span><br />

This is the highest amount lying outside any country, from amongst 180 countries of the world, as if India is the champion of Black Money.<br /><br />2) Swiss Government has officially written to Indian Government that they are willing to inform the details of holders of 70 lakh crore rupees in their Banks, if Indian Government officially asks them.<br /><br />3) On 22-5-08, this news has already been published in The Times of India and other Newspapers based on Swiss Government's official letter to Indian Government.<br /><br />4) But the Indian Government has not sent any official enquiry to Switzerland for details of money which has been sent outside India between 1947 to 2008.. The opposition party is also equally not interested in doing so because most of the amount is owned by politicians and it is every Indian's money.<br /><br />5) As said above, this money belongs to our country. From these funds we can repay 13 times of our country's foreign debt. The interest alone can take care of the Center’s yearly budget. People need not pay any taxes and we can pay Rs. 1 lakh to each of 45 crore poor families.<br /><br />6) Let us imagine, if Swiss Bank is holding Rs. 70 lakh Crores, then how much money is lying in other 69 Banks? How much they have deprived the Indian people? Just think, if the Account holder dies, the bank becomes the owner of the funds in his account.<br /><br />7) Are these people totally ignorant about the philosophy of Karma? What will this ill-gotten wealth do to them and their families when they own/use such money, generated out of corruption and exploitation?<br /><br />8) Indian people have read and have known about these facts. But the helpless people have neither time nor inclination to do anything in the matter. This is like "a new freedom struggle" and we will have to fight this.<br /><br />9) This money is the result of our sweat and blood.. The wealth generated and earned after putting in lots of mental and physical efforts by Indian people must be brought back to our country.<br /><br />10) As a service to our motherland and your contribution to this struggle, please circulate at least 10 copies of this note amongst your friends and relatives and convert it into a mass movement.<br /><br />Hope this <a href="http://www.scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2009/04/swiss-bank-accounts-as-black-money.html">link</a> would also help you regarding Swiss bank accounts as black money<br /><br /><a href="http://www.googlestepper.blogspot.com/">Want to know, learn and earn something in terms of life and knowledge?</a>Leslie Prabakar Ruphas Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695622070711333905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121794504319037525.post-12310820848127748602009-04-16T16:39:00.004+05:302009-10-08T16:04:23.819+05:30Swiss Bank Accounts (as black money)<strong><span style="color:#000000;">Revelation on Swiss Bank Accounts - </span><span style="color:#3333ff;">India has $1,456 billion (as black money)</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></strong><br />This is so shocking... wish black money deposits was an Olympics event...

Indian government is not asking for the details... no marks for guessing. Why???? We need to start a movement to pressurize the government to do so!!! This is perhaps the only way, and a golden opportunity, to expose the high and mighty and weed out corruption!!<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Is India poor, who says? Ask Swiss banks With personal account deposit bank of $1500 billion in foreign reserve which have been misappropriated, an amount 13 times larger than the country's foreign debt, one needs to rethink if India is a poor country?</span><br /><br />DISHONEST INDUSTRIALISTS, scandalous politicians and corrupt IAS, IRS, IPS officers have deposited in foreign banks in their illegal personal accounts a sum of about $1500 billion, which have been misappropriated by them. This amount is about 13 times larger than the country's foreign debt. With this amount 45 Crores poor people can get Rs.1,00,000 each.This huge amount has been appropriated from the people of India by exploiting and betraying them.<br /><br /><hr><br />Some interesting links (from this website):<br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2007/03/positive-attitude-tips-information.html">How to improve positive attitude - tips and information</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2007/03/mathematical-love-letter.html">Mathematical love letter :)</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2007/04/thieves-steal-everything-in-britons.html">Be careful about ATM thieves!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2007/03/egg-cooked-with-mobile-phones-true.html">Cooking Eggs with Mobile phones - a true one</a><br /><hr><br /><br />Once this huge amount of black money & property comes back to India, the entire foreign debt can be repaid in 24 hours. After paying the entire foreign debt, we will have surplus amount, almost 12 times larger than the foreign debt. If this surplus amount is invested in earning interest, the amount of interest will be more than the annual budget of the Central government. So even if all the taxes are abolished, then also the Central government will be able to maintain the country very comfortably.<br /><br />Some 80,000 people travel to Switzerland every year, of which 25,000 travel very frequently. 'Obviously, these people won't be tourists. They must be traveling there for some other reason,' believes an official involved in tracking illegal money. And, clearly, he isn't referring to the commerce ministry bureaucrats who've been flitting in and out of Geneva ever since the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations went into a tailspin!<br /><br />Just read the following details and note how these dishonest industrialists, scandalous politicians, corrupt officers, cricketers, film actors, illegal sex trade and protected wildlife operators, to name just a few, sucked this country's wealth and prosperity. This may be the picture of deposits in Swiss banks only. What about other international banks?Black money in Swiss banks -- Swiss Banking Association report, 2006 details bank deposits in the territory of Switzerland by nationals of following countries:<br /><br /><strong><u>Top Five:</u></strong><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>1.

It is one of the biggest loots witnessed by mankind -- the loot of the Aam Aadmi (common man) since 1947, by his Brethren occupying public office. It has been orchestrated by politicians, bureaucrats and some businessmen. The list is almost all-encompassing. No wonder, everyone in India loots with impunity and without any fear. What is even more depressing in that this illgotten wealth of ours has been stashed away abroad into secret bank accounts located in some of the world's best known tax havens? And to that extent the Indian economy has been stripped of its wealth.<br /><br />Ordinary Indians may not be exactly aware of how such secret accountsoperate and what are the rules and regulations that go on to govern such tax havens. However, one may well be aware of 'Swiss bank accounts,' the shorthand for murky dealings, secrecy and of course pilferage from developing countries into rich developed ones.<br /><br />In fact, some finance experts and economists believe tax havens to be a conspiracy of the western world against the poor countries. By allowing the proliferation of tax havens in the twentieth century, the western world explicitly encourages the movement of scarce capital from the developing countries to the rich.<br /><br />In March 2005, the Tax Justice Network (TJN) published a research finding demonstrating that $11.5 trillion of personal wealth was held offshore by rich individuals across the globe. The findings estimated that a large proportion of this wealth was managed from some 70 tax havens.<br /><br />Further, augmenting these studies of TJN, Raymond Baker -- in his widelycelebrated book titled ‘Capitalism’s Achilles Heel: Dirty Money and How to Renew the Free Market System' -- estimates that at least $5 trillion have been shifted out of poorer countries to the West since the mid-1970.<br /><br />It is further estimated by experts that 1% of the world's population holds more than 57% of total global wealth, routing it invariably through these tax havens. How much of this is from India is anybody's guess. What is to be noted here is that most of the wealth of Indians parked in these tax havens is illegitimate money acquired through corrupt means.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Naturally, the secrecy associated with the bank accounts in such places is central to the issue, not their low tax rates as the term 'tax havens' suggests. Remember Bofors and how India could not trace the ultimate beneficiary of those transactions because of the secrecy associated with these bank accounts?</div><div align="center"><br /><span style="color:#006600;"><strong>IS THERE ANY ONE WHO CAN SAVE INDIA?</strong></span></div><br /><br /><br />Some interesting links:<br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2007/03/positive-attitude-tips-information.html">How to improve positive attitude - tips and information</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2007/03/mathematical-love-letter.html">Mathematical love letter :)</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2007/04/thieves-steal-everything-in-britons.html">Be careful about ATM thieves!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2007/03/egg-cooked-with-mobile-phones-true.html">Cooking Eggs with Mobile phones - a true one</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2008/11/creative-picture-creativity-speaks.html">3D pictures - How to draw and how drawn?</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2008/11/best-excellent-pictures-of-iman-maleki.html">Iman Maleki - Excellent pictures - You won't believe whether the picture is original or drawn.</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2008/11/obama-in-kenya-unseen-rare-photo-of.html">Have you seen Barack Obama in Kenya?</a><br /><br /><a href="http://scrollnroll.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-tsunami-occurs.html">Do you know how Tsunami occurs?

Microsoft accepts this. Do you know why?<br /> <br />In Windows the Virtual Machine Manager (here after referred as VMM) is responsible for creation, execution, monitoring and termination of virtual machines. This VMM, which is a 32 bit, protected mode operating system entity, provides a number of system services at chip level. One of these services is "Get_System_ Time". This particular service loads the EAX register with the time in milliseconds since Windows started on that machine. This service is accurate to 1 ms. EAX is a 32 bit register in Intel 386 Processor onwards. <br /> <br />So the maximum number of milliseconds it can hold is <br />(232)-1 = 4294967295 milliseconds = 4294967.295 seconds = 71582.79 minutes = 1193 hours = 49.7 days.</span></div><div class="Section1" style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "><div style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "><div style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "><div style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "><div style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "><div style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "><p style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; ">So after 49.7 days the EAX resets to zero. Most of the Drivers use this Time Service to keep track of the Timeout of various services they provide. So after 49.7 days the drivers cannot use the Get_System_Time function of VMM and they crash taking the OS along with. <br /> <br />Please check this knowledge base article <span class="359213804-20032008" style="outline-style: none;

But you can minimise your chances of that not happening by not dashing out in the middle of the road amidst traffic. Likewise, you can minimise the chances of your cells turning cancerous by quitting.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "></span></p><p style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; "><b style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "><span style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; ">My Grandfather smoked till he was eighty.

But nicotine is a stimulant - it raises your heart rate, blood pressure, and adrenaline level. Most ex-smokers feel much less nervous just a few weeks after quitting.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "></span></p><p style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; "><b style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "><span style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; ">Smoking makes me more effective in my work; It helps concentration. </span></b><span style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; line-height: 1.22em; "><br />A: Smoking actually deprives your brain of oxygen.

Information about the impact of smoking and the contents of a cigarette can create a feeling of aversion that can wean a smoker away from cigarettes. It is not actually a trial for a person’s will power. Talking to a counselor will help the smoker to realise how he has conditioned himself to smoking and why he has a block to quitting. Once the smoker is able to isolate these reasons, the smoker can work his/her way to quitting.

This gives us an opportunity to reach the masses through media. The choice of a theme each year brings into focus various dimensions of the issue. For instance, this year’s theme is “Tobacco and Poverty – A Vicious Circle” This brings to light the fact that the farmers are not benefited by growing tobacco. In fact, they are pushed into penury and ill health.

to Communicate with Body language?It is often said that in face-to-face <a title="Develop Good Communication Skills" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Develop-Good-Communication-Skills">communications</a>, the words we speak actually account for less than 10% of the meaning that we convey, while <a title="Understand Body Language" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Understand-Body-Language">body language</a> accounts for more than half of our message (our <a title="Develop a Friendly Tone of Voice" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Develop-a-Friendly-Tone-of-Voice">tone of voice</a> supposedly communicates the rest). <a title="Read Body Language" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Read-Body-Language">Body language</a> is important, and if your words say one thing but your body says another, the person you are speaking to is more likely to believe the message your body is communicating.

It's easy to find <a title="Understand Body Language" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Understand-Body-Language">big lists of what certain gestures mean</a>, and entire <a title="Use a Dictionary" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Dictionary">dictionaries</a> have been written that attempt to decipher the meaning of every <a title="Improve Your Posture" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Improve-Your-Posture">posture</a>, blink of the eye, or muscle twitch. The meanings of signals differ from one person to the next, however, and there are vast cultural differences, as well. What's more, it is not possible to control all your muscles so that each gesture and <a title="Have a Pleasant Facial Expression" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Have-a-Pleasant-Facial-Expression">facial expression</a> delivers the meaning you want it to deliver.

People spend a lot of time looking at your body language. What are they seeing? Make a conscious effort to think about what your body is doing in different interactions with different people. A <a title="Create a Mirror" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Mirror">mirror</a> can be useful to examine facial expressions and posture, but mainly you just want to pay attention to what your body does when you're <a title="Get Rid of Anger" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Anger">angry</a>, <a title="Not Be Nervous when Speaking to Strangers on the Phone" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Not-Be-Nervous-when-Speaking-to-Strangers-on-the-Phone">nervous</a>, <a title="Be Happy" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Happy">happy</a>, etc.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ8ZBZZp32xNtjQG-4gTLCt2YFZTs_HkflQeVy8IyZg7HnNHwZOira7krJYOPQLHe8Q2rvdsuH6FvJQ627ak6QNLWb6uwEP10-asUxnv6ILTExgncTIOnPwuEHJsHddqhyphenhyphentASnS3e0HMfH/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094331184779106466" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ8ZBZZp32xNtjQG-4gTLCt2YFZTs_HkflQeVy8IyZg7HnNHwZOira7krJYOPQLHe8Q2rvdsuH6FvJQ627ak6QNLWb6uwEP10-asUxnv6ILTExgncTIOnPwuEHJsHddqhyphenhyphentASnS3e0HMfH/s400/2.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div>Is he saying <a title="Say Hello to Somebody You Are Attracted To" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Say-Hello-to-Somebody-You-Are-Attracted-To">hello</a>, <a title="Say Goodbye in Several Different Languages" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Say-Goodbye-in-Several-Different-Languages">goodbye</a>, or <a title="Stop" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Stop">stop</a>?<br /></div><br /><div> ->Determine whether your body language is in sync with your message. Your body language is effective if it communicates the message you want it to <a title="Communicate Effectively" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Communicate-Effectively">communicate</a>. Does your posture communicate <a title="Regain Confidence" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Regain-Confidence">confidence</a>, or does it make you seem unsure of yourself even as your words express confidence?

Don't stay awake at night wondering if your right index finger is effectively communicating your approval of something. Different parts of your body work together to communicate meaning in "message clusters," and generally the more strongly you feel about what you're talking about the more parts of the body are actively communicating. You don't have to have every little nuance "correct" as long as the overall effect of the cluster is in sync with your message. </div><br /><div>3) Correct the big problems. If you take away one thing from this article, it should be that body language should be natural, and you don't need to obsess over it. That said, there are certain situations that may merit "relearning" certain aspects of your body language.<br /><a class="internal" title="Touching one's face signals anxiety" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Image:Bodylanguage2_977.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIf17clkGb5B5_1q_jGjsPjggh9cLufIP6j1iU6XcQGvRyfnumVKDsYnwKZfvy14WbSElzOJZJhiQVt8oP5_f4_Yj5_7AMsape1wreHA15aIsh5Ng2CZbLlU7JPJ384T8LHgOsqqRult7m/s1600-h/5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094331189074073810" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIf17clkGb5B5_1q_jGjsPjggh9cLufIP6j1iU6XcQGvRyfnumVKDsYnwKZfvy14WbSElzOJZJhiQVt8oP5_f4_Yj5_7AMsape1wreHA15aIsh5Ng2CZbLlU7JPJ384T8LHgOsqqRult7m/s400/5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Touching one's face signals <a title="Deal With Anxiety" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Deal-With-Anxiety">anxiety</a></div><br /><div> ->If you give persistent, very obvious counterproductive signals, it may be worth your time to fix them.

Improving your posture and working to eliminate nervous tics can be difficult and will take time, but if you focus your efforts only on the big things, you'll quickly improve your overall non-verbal communication. </div><div></div><div><br /><a class="internal" title="'Hand" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Image:Bodylanguage5_988.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj74lnSmTOBkH0HMLM0xEc4LFrL3dY-XkEr_vzoSRglJtUnp0aNc509rAEFf5porPMQ0nleIpQAMzvqxpwtIrDd3NzQ8fJKiZHJ9dQKQUNK3qi9uixS1qe1k8IsGRzBKhPbGmzyxKjt1J3b/s1600-h/6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094331725944985842" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj74lnSmTOBkH0HMLM0xEc4LFrL3dY-XkEr_vzoSRglJtUnp0aNc509rAEFf5porPMQ0nleIpQAMzvqxpwtIrDd3NzQ8fJKiZHJ9dQKQUNK3qi9uixS1qe1k8IsGRzBKhPbGmzyxKjt1J3b/s400/6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Hand gesture commonly used in Argentina to roughly convey "What the hell are you thinking?"</div><br /><div> ->If you have recently entered a new culture, you may need to adjust your body language. Cultural norms regarding body language (i.e. how far away you should stand from someone, how much eye contact you should make, and what gestures are considered taboo), vary considerably, and if you don't speak the same body language as the locals, you're liable to be misunderstood a great deal, sometimes with very serious implications. </div><br /><div> ->Concentrate on difficult situations. Most of our day-to-day interactions are with people we know fairly well. As people get to know you better, they become better at reading your body language, which means (for better or for worse) that they're less likely to misinterpret your non-verbal cues. With this in mind, then, it's most important to make sure your body language is clear in interactions with people you don't know very well. These situations (first dates or job interviews, for example) may merit some special attention. Get in front of a mirror and practice these interactions. Speak aloud as you normally would, and carefully watch what your body is doing. Even better, videotape yourself for several minutes and then watch the <a title="Put Video on Your Video iPod" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Put-Video-on-Your-Video-iPod">video</a> to identify how you might present yourself better.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieQjrVcBmC8eRxVJPcaMgLEobJtRXjlrwi39WcIEkQ6v480ixOs6I7NzEqSObgzlWzXAzOzvpKT2MCm8ELeOA_PDTlOpPJEHbCA42rCd7K8VkPEDiOJdK7P14MIBIp1jI650RbKpc16s6F/s1600-h/7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094331725944985858" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieQjrVcBmC8eRxVJPcaMgLEobJtRXjlrwi39WcIEkQ6v480ixOs6I7NzEqSObgzlWzXAzOzvpKT2MCm8ELeOA_PDTlOpPJEHbCA42rCd7K8VkPEDiOJdK7P14MIBIp1jI650RbKpc16s6F/s400/7.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div>Practice in front of a mirror<br /><br />4) Have more than one gesture to "get the message across." If you want to make sure you're not misunderstood, repeat both gestures when you speak the idea aloud. If the listener doesn't pick up on one gesture, he or she will likely be familiar with the other. You don't have to use a body language gesture (or two) for every word, but it's a good idea to have a toolbox of gestures you can use to reinforce very important, but easily misinterpreted, concepts.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWBE89nmfhmlQSKCtK1D3pYlMRTs-RkUh8ekRcKvqxSvGUeUHc6fzuWDwcl6yEdEpsyFWWnQXy8380NQ0FJR8x120Ut_TFfzgpwvQGAOTuJjInWylKXOwInNKjoDH8nYLLekc0c8hOCftO/s1600-h/8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094331730239953170" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWBE89nmfhmlQSKCtK1D3pYlMRTs-RkUh8ekRcKvqxSvGUeUHc6fzuWDwcl6yEdEpsyFWWnQXy8380NQ0FJR8x120Ut_TFfzgpwvQGAOTuJjInWylKXOwInNKjoDH8nYLLekc0c8hOCftO/s400/8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Emphasize a point</div><br /><div>5) Direct the most positive gestures toward the listener. This way you more clearly indicate that you are offering a favorable outcome to the listener as though it were a gift to them. Direct the most negative gestures away from yourself and the listener. This way you clearly indicate that you wish that no obstacle stands in the way of your intended message.</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAmJnEarmDkDPfnI4jWluQb_C1ZFdEgieBb7mRO2d7phKQmp97cHUOePVTMdQWxCTkPrzBnIfx3tKFKrgopPd_HQXFT746Rgf1aUVMT1Rh-p7Zoxk-2jvfIiWqXCfWiLUYDWOklZ5iU2AB/s1600-h/9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094331730239953186" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAmJnEarmDkDPfnI4jWluQb_C1ZFdEgieBb7mRO2d7phKQmp97cHUOePVTMdQWxCTkPrzBnIfx3tKFKrgopPd_HQXFT746Rgf1aUVMT1Rh-p7Zoxk-2jvfIiWqXCfWiLUYDWOklZ5iU2AB/s400/9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Directing towards</div><br /><div><br /> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwahiawfPLTsQ7fyuq_27ivUrKvQWV1qExSsvqxHKlKmQWW_F20ssW0YoewWErM2WwlkqQ0VGK96aG9jYj3v0R0inJqCH8v_iAOvlBdEkYTBfuimm8p9W3TysptzQYxfyDl0x6sDW1OfFy/s1600-h/10.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094331730239953202" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwahiawfPLTsQ7fyuq_27ivUrKvQWV1qExSsvqxHKlKmQWW_F20ssW0YoewWErM2WwlkqQ0VGK96aG9jYj3v0R0inJqCH8v_iAOvlBdEkYTBfuimm8p9W3TysptzQYxfyDl0x6sDW1OfFy/s400/10.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Directing away</div><div><br />6) Say what you mean. For most people, appropriate body language--that is, body language that effectively reinforces the speaker's meaning--comes naturally when they mean what they say. The problem, of course, is that we don't always say what we mean. If you're trying to <a title="Lie" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Lie">lie convincingly,</a> for example, you'll probably have to alter your body language to prevent it from arousing suspicion. Even when we're not trying to deceive we may not really be saying what we feel. If your <a title="Be a Good Boyfriend" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Good-Boyfriend">boyfriend</a> or <a title="Be a Good Girlfriend" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Good-Girlfriend">girlfriend</a> asks if you love him or her, you may think you do but also think you don't; the mixed feelings may come out in a mixed message, in which your words say "yes," but your body language portrays your doubt. While much is said about changing your body language to communicate what you want to say, it's often easier to just say what you feel.<br /><a class="internal" title="Observe your own expressions" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Image:Bodylanguage4_891.jpg"></a><br />7) Use your body language to help you understand how you feel. If you're not quite sure how you feel about something or someone, pay attention to what your body is saying. Just as other people can read your body language to help uncover what you're feeling, you can learn from your body, and, for the most part, you should be able to read your body language better than anyone else can--all you have to do is pay attention. Using body language effectively means not only communicating with others, but also learning more about yourself. </div><div> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCJ7APaIpkosb0yQa7l0WFmbODJc15L4sEduFpM-ZjVBVfMET_3-JZD9m3P-Oi-yRXUGm7UhnzMpkIWno89b8VMBlevDkRLbL9vTq39u7exhcODaW02kg2hKYXHDSXACfUojSZsZV8mFC1/s1600-h/11.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094332353010211138" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCJ7APaIpkosb0yQa7l0WFmbODJc15L4sEduFpM-ZjVBVfMET_3-JZD9m3P-Oi-yRXUGm7UhnzMpkIWno89b8VMBlevDkRLbL9vTq39u7exhcODaW02kg2hKYXHDSXACfUojSZsZV8mFC1/s400/11.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Observe your own expressions</div><div><br />8) Treat the cause, not the symptoms. Body language is so useful as a self-improvement tool because it can clue us into our own feelings--our fears, our hopes, our instincts. There's a multi-million dollar industry filled with people who will tell you how to position your torso and move your eyes in order to look more confident around members of the opposite sex or to seem more competent at work, but the usefulness of such instruction is limited. Even with dedicated practice, body language is hard to convincingly fake. And even if you manage to use your non-verbal cues to communicate feelings you don't really feel, you may, in the end, discover that you are only fooling yourself.<br /><a id="Tips" name="Tips"></a><br /><strong><u><span style="font-size:180%;">Tips</span> </u></strong><br /> *One way to work on developing your own system is to study <a title="Begin to Learn American Sign Language" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Begin-to-Learn-American-Sign-Language">sign-language</a>, and then use similar symbols when actually speaking once in a while.<br /> *It is sometimes useful to observe the body language that is appropriate for a given setting or among certain people, and then match your gestures to those of people around you. This sort of imitation may be considered uncharismatic, but if you're not familiar with the culture or with the people with whom you are speaking, it may be the only way to get your message across or to avoid an embarrassing gaffe.<br /> *Use the most positive (or, if warranted, negative) gestures and facial expressions first and last. While it is true that we make our most memorable impressions within the first 5 to 10 seconds, we also make a crucial impression within the last 5 to 10 seconds as well.<br /> *Once in a while use the opposite gesture of your intended meaning. This is not meant to confuse the listener, but rather to see how well they pay attention to your gestures. If they notice it, consciously or not, they may say something like "Wait a minute, let me make sure I am understanding you."<br /> *Tone of voice and inflection, although audible, are great indicators of meaning. However the actual tones used between people may not be accurately interpreted by the listener. Be careful to not misinterpret another person's tone of voice.<br /> *If you know you are using a sign that may easily be misinterpreted, state so as immediately as possible and state your intended meaning, right away. For example, if you cross your arms for warmth, you may want to say, "I'm cold, are you?" That way the person won't think that you're just being unreceptive.<br /><a id="Warnings" name="Warnings"></a><br /><strong><u><span style="font-size:180%;">Warnings</span></u></strong> </div><div> *Not everyone uses the same gestures to convey the same meaning. For example in the US feet spread apart typically conveys the message "I am calm, but standing my ground." In Japan to convey this meaning the feet would typically be together, with the hands directly at the sides.<br /> *People's usage of body language can and usually does change over time.<br /> *Understand that people are liable to misinterpret your body language. Always try to be clear, and try to reinforce your meaning.<br /> *Do not assume that you have correctly identified the meaning of another person's body language meaning without verification. For example, many people believe that if a person's arms are crossed it means that they are distancing themselves. Perhaps they are simply cold!<br /> *Faking a gesture or facial feature to convey a meaning is the same as lying, and it can be interpreted this way. When people say that someone seems phony, they're usually referring to mannerisms that seem faked. </div><div>====================================================================</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I have more stuffs related to Google, WebPage Creation and Search Engine Optimizationand more.,</div><div>Please have a look on WWW(.)GoogleStepper(.)BlogSpot(.)Com.

Doing thingslike taking a yoga class becomes a different thing in ourcase from driving to the neighborhood gym. Since I live 40miles from the nearest town large enough for yoga studios,when I decided to take a class, I was more interested inthe schedule than I was the type of yoga. I couldn't affordto be picky if I preferred not to wait around for a couplehours after getting off work. So I looked in the phonebook, and didn't pay attention to anything but theschedule. There it was: M-W-F at 4:00. Perfect. I don'tknow what rock I'd been living under, but the word "Bikram"writ large across the ad in the yellow pages didn't triggerthe term 'hot yoga' in my mind, and that left me in for abig surprise. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/5791.php"><h2>Some Tantric Exercises to Increase General Well-Being and Sexual Abilities</h2></a><br />A healthy anal and genital area is of great importance both for the general well-being and for the sexual abilities. The same is thrue about a healthy respiratory tract and breathing apparatus. Here are presented two poses and three breathing exercises that have the following effects when done together in a series: </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/5965.php"><h2>Are You Willing To Follow Eight Yoga Exercises For the Lower Back?</h2></a><br />EXERCISES FOR BACK RELIEF </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/16797.php"><h2>Using Yoga to Manage ADD</h2></a><br />Exercise is a powerful tool for ADD management. Medical professionals recommend that adults get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise (such as running or biking) 3-5 times per week to improve their general health. For ADDers, this type of exercise is particularly beneficial, because it may balance production of neurotransmitters and reduce stress levels. Another form of exercise that ADDers are finding valuable is yoga. When practiced regularly, yoga offers numerous health benefits, such as increased strength and flexibility, and decreased blood pressure and cholesterol levels. However, the greater benefits of yoga are arguably the psychological ones. Yoga combines physical activity with self-awareness, which promotes a mind-body connection that many ADDers lack. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/18264.php"><h2>Yoga and Low Carb Diets</h2></a><br />Yoga is an ancient system of movement designed to generate vibrant health and well being. Excellent health and well being are experienced in the results of a yoga practice such as: stress reduction, increased energy and awareness, increased flexibility, focused mind and strong body. In our modern world there are so many types of yoga to choose from that it can be confusing and difficult to start a yoga program. Do you have to practice postures(asanas) in a hot room for an hour and a half in order to enjoy the benefits of this ancient art? And, is it necessary to execute postures under strict guidelines created for East Indian bodies and minds? As a yoga instructor my answer would be no. A successful yoga practice supports the goals of the practitioner without rigidity. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/20148.php"><h2>Yoga for Relaxation</h2></a><br />Discover the true meaning of yoga? </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/21608.php"><h2>Ayurveda and Yoga, Ancient Sister Sciences</h2></a><br />Ayurveda and yoga are sister sciences that have been united for thousands of years for the sake of healing body, mind, and consciousness. Generally speaking, Ayurveda deals more with the health of the body, while yoga deals with purifying the mind and consciousness, but in reality they complement and embrace each other. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/23397.php"><h2>Yoga for Fun and Profit</h2></a><br />Stress levels around the world are on the rise. In order to deal with this, relaxation and stress reduction therapies have sprung up from everywhere. Yoga instruction is no longer just a fringe population idea. It is now a mainstream fitness methodology. Yoga certifications are now available from many places in North America. As a result of this, yoga instructors are now available everywhere. Each gym now offers yoga classes from certified yoga instructors. It?s time we understood what this is all about and where we are going with respect to the fitness industry. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/24149.php"><h2>Yoga Instruction - How to Find the Right Yoga Teacher for You</h2></a><br />In order to find a quality yoga instructor, you need to know what to look for. Since there is no universal certification program for yoga teachers, not all of them are created equal as you can see by the following example. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/24151.php"><h2>Can a Yoga Prop Help Prop Up Your Practice?</h2></a><br />Some people may wonder if using a yoga prop can help them get more out of their practice. My personal opinion is yes. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/24152.php"><h2>Yoga Position ? What Does Each Type Do?</h2></a><br />I often wondered what the value of each type of yoga position is, so I did some research to find out. All yoga positions help to develop strength and flexibility. Yet the type of yoga position that you do also offers some very specific benefits. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/24153.php"><h2>Yoga Accessories? Getting What You Really Need</h2></a><br />Unlike some other sports, you don?t need a lot of yoga accessories when you practice. With yoga, your body is really the most important ?equipment? that you need. There are some items that are basic and which can help you be more comfortable and safer in your practice. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/24355.php"><h2>The History of Yoga</h2></a><br />The history of yoga is long and steeped in tradition. Contrary to what some people may believe, yoga was not developed as the newest way to slim down so they could fit into a smaller pants size. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/24364.php"><h2>The Benefit of Yoga</h2></a><br />The benefit of yoga practice goes far beyond the actual time you spend in the poses. One of the most common reasons why people begin practicing yoga is to improve their health and well-being. Yoga means union. It is a union of the mind, body and breath, so all aspects of your life are impacted by your practice. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/24365.php"><h2>Muscle Fitness ? Can Yoga Make You Stronger?</h2></a><br />Many people wonder if yoga can improve their muscle fitness. They recognize that yoga can help reduce stress and increase flexibility, but when it comes to increasing muscle fitness, they think it might be a little too 'weak' to do the job. The fact is that yoga can definitely make you stronger. </p>Leslie Prabakar Ruphas Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695622070711333905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121794504319037525.post-82759819919680529722007-06-15T16:41:00.001+05:302007-06-15T16:41:37.915+05:30Yoga Information (Part 2)<p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/26785.php"><h2>Yoga for Every BODY</h2></a><br />We all want to feel loved, open, free and peaceful. We all desire to let go of the ideals and expectations of the ?world? and be simply still. What if you had permission to be anything your heart wanted you to be? What if there was no right or wrong way of doing yoga poses, just simply YOUR way. The way that feels good for your body, mind and spirit. That is yoga to me. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/28349.php"><h2>Yoga For a Beginner</h2></a><br />Yoga for a beginner is an exciting time when you start to discover all of the wonderful benefits that yoga has to offer. When you first begin yoga, there are several things you can do to make your experience positive. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/30890.php"><h2>Stress - How To Manage Effectively</h2></a><br />Stress is very common in all walks of life and in all occupations. There are different kinds of stress, such as acute, episodic and chronic. Each one has its own list of symptoms and triggers that set it off. Chronic stress is the most dangerous one because it can affect a persons health and welfare and lead to depression if he/she cannot develop methods of stress relief. This is the gnawing feeling that people encounter day after day. It can be related to work, an unhappy marriage, money problems or a whole host of things that cause people to become very unhappy with their lives. People who suffer from this condition often cannot see anything good about their lives, It can lead to suicide, heart attacks and as research has shown, cancer. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/31584.php"><h2>Yoga and Weight Training ? Never the Twain Shall Meet?</h2></a><br />Yoga has become part of Western fitness training techniques. However, there are some who have never tried it, relegating it as a hippie trend from the 60?s. Those individuals would rather look at their flexed bicep in the mirror at their gym. They look for the feedback loop from that experience which gives them the feeling of ?working out?. This is definitely the group they want to be in. They consider themselves the hard core fitness enthusiasts and label yoga as something for women in white leotards. Is there any truth to this? </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/34438.php"><h2>The History of Pilates</h2></a><br />In order to understand the basics of Pilates and why it can work for you, you first need to understand where Pilates came from. Pilates was originally formed in Germany by a man of the same name. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/36100.php"><h2>Yoga, Do Not Knock It Until You Try It</h2></a><br />Are you one of those folks who have never tried yoga? How about one of those grown up teenagers who likes cow tipping and thought you might knock over your sister when she was doing yoga? Yes, I know that is fun isn?t it? I have done this on many occasion and watched the silly looking humans fall right over indeed. Not bad, it is easy too; a little push and see ya, over they go. But really we should be very serious yoga is quite good for the soul, relaxation and de-stressing too. So, do not knock yoga until you try it. Now I have tried it so it is okay for me to make jokes, but if you have not tried it, you are barred from laughing or tipping over your friends who you think are looking quite silly while they do their ?Yoga Thing.? </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/36310.php"><h2>Yoga Your Way To A Happy Vacation</h2></a><br /> Yoga Your Way To A Happy Vacation </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/37562.php"><h2>Eating Disorders And The Use Of Yoga In Prevention And Treatment</h2></a><br />It was not so long ago that eating disorders, such as bolimia and anorexia, were thought to be purely the result of mental conditions. More recently, though, some physical factors have been attributed to these conditions. It is now thought that eating disorders can be triggered by a multitude of factors, in combination, including those of a psychological, behavioural, social, or biological nature. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/42854.php"><h2>Positive Energy</h2></a><br />Cultivating positive energy: Most of us who study Yoga have been taught that an abundance of Prana (vital air or vital energy), can be found at the ocean, lakes, large open fields, and in the mountains. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/42857.php"><h2>Yoga is Unity</h2></a><br />Experienced Yoga practitioners often feel discouraged when a naturally gifted dancer, gymnast, or martial artist, performs an advanced asana with little effort. As I have mentioned before, there are people with elongated joint capsules and their extraordinary range of motion is a gift. You and I may have to work at it, but the many rewards of Yoga practice are still there. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/42860.php"><h2>The Mystery of Enlightenment</h2></a><br />Initially, enlightenment is living in the present moment and accepting your situation as it is. That is a pretty heavy task for anyone in any time. It is often said that an enlightened person cannot be angered by small talk or negative energy. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/42861.php"><h2>Secrets of Teaching Yoga</h2></a><br />What you are about to read applies to teaching, in general. In fact, we are all teachers, to some degree. You teach your friends, co-workers, strangers and family members on a daily basis. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/42494.php"><h2>Paths of Yoga I</h2></a><br />With dozens of Hollywood celebrities following in their Guru?s lotus footsteps and the sick Western commercial behaviour exploding Yogas popularity to a system that simply enhances people?s health, Yoga remains a system of spiritual unity of mind, body and soul among millions of Indians and many others from Eastern beliefs, as it has been for over five thousand years. As a result, some forms of yoga have gained significant popularity outside India, particularly in the West during the past century. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/42641.php"><h2>True Essence of Yoga</h2></a><br />Yoga is the most prestigious field of spiritualism. People think about 6 wheels (Chakras) or lotus flowers present in the spinal card, which are not seen by the eyes. They are imaginary and so they carry some inner meaning. When you say a face as a moon, fools search for moon in that face. But, wise people see similarity in the face and moon. Similarly, wheels and lotus flowers should not be searched in the spinal card. Spinal card is the main nerve, representing mind, which is the base of love. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/42888.php"><h2>How to Find the Right Yoga Teacher?</h2></a><br /> I am often asked by beginners about how to evaluate a Yoga Teacher? </p>Leslie Prabakar Ruphas Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695622070711333905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121794504319037525.post-62012818391148534432007-06-15T16:40:00.002+05:302007-06-15T16:41:06.326+05:30Yoga Information (Part 3)<p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/42889.php"><h2>Eating Wisely and Weight Loss</h2></a><br />Please bear in mind that I am not a dietician, or a physician, and my opinions are those of a Yoga teacher, personal fitness trainer, and life-long student of Ayurveda.

For your child, Yoga is much more than a kid's fitness class. Just like adults - kids need time to learn to deal with life?s daily pressures, too. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/45709.php"><h2>This is Not Your Grandma?s Rocking Chair</h2></a><br /> Senior Yoga / Chair Yoga </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/46983.php"><h2>Yoga and Christianity a Conflict?</h2></a><br />Being a practicing Christian myself, there are very few things in Yoga that conflict with Christianity. Some critics argue that Yoga and Christianity cannot co-exist, and yet we know that Yoga is not a religion. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/47443.php"><h2>Maybe Bikram is Right?</h2></a><br />For some reason, I had the time to sit down and watch a little television, and as luck would have it, Bikram Choudhury was being interviewed on 60 Minutes Wednesday. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/47770.php"><h2>Yoga and True Self</h2></a><br />The great sage Patanjali in his work Yogasutra codified all yogic knowledge and practices which prevailed in ancient India in the form of aphorisms. He defined Yoga in a simple way as - controlling of thoughts arising in the mind(I.2). The nature or work of mind is to think or desire always. As waves are generated along the seashore, so thoughts are generated in the mind incessantly. In order to fulfill these desires man acts relentlessly. When thoughts are controlled or prevented, the outwardly moving mind turns inwards. The sphere of the activities of mind contracts and mind comes to the center. At the center of mind lies the true self or soul(atman). </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/48392.php"><h2>Yoga and Meditation - That Leads to Gaining Enlightenment in this Life?</h2></a><br />Every process of Yoga... neigh Meditation that frees us from the clutches of Attachment...

Furthermore, there is a solid belief that if one person succeeds, another must fail. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/48842.php"><h2>Basic Yoga Poses (Asanas)</h2></a><br />In most forms of Yoga there are three components to the practice; breathing, concentration and physical poses also known as asanas. The two poses below are the most common asanas used in Western Yoga practice today. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/48848.php"><h2>Hatha Yoga</h2></a><br />One of the many subsets of the 5000 year old system used to increase the well being of the mind, body and spirit, is known as Hatha Yoga. </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/48950.php"><h2>Mind and Thoughts</h2></a><br />Yoga is controlling of thoughts arising in the mind. When thoughts are controlled or prevented through practice, the seer or practitioner(yogi) rests in his true self or soul(atman). Either you remain in true self or control thoughts, the other will result automatically. In true self one shall not see or hear anything. Bcause there is none other than the self. When there is anything other than the self, one shall see or hear something. When everything has merged in the pure consciousness of the true self, when there is none other than the self, what is to see or hear? </p><p> <a href="http://online-articles.org/yoga/49401.php"><h2>The Benefit of Pilates</h2></a><br />Pilates can benefit your overall health and sense of well-being in many ways.
