Charles Lameet asked:




Owning an internet business can set you free from current financial chains and liberate you from your 9-5 job. With this great opportunity comes work and a slight learning curve. Anyone can do internet business but it’s up to you to decide if you’ll fail or not through the determination you have to succeed.

Avoiding Scams

Do not buy any internet money making system or internet cash business opportunity or offer. There are no systems that will magically make you money. Like everything else in life you need to earn it. Only buy resources that will actually give you knowledge to completing your own personal online business goals. Do not buy into a system.

Internet businesses are work. Do not let any internet guru or internet millionaire tell you otherwise. Sure people get lucky and strike it rich. However probability tells us that won’t happen to us based on chance. So what can you do to ensure your success? Start working towards your goals.

Importance of Goal Setting

The difference between a successful internet business owner and an unsuccessful one is goal setting. You need something to achieve. Make a large goal and break it down. So let’s say you want to earn $10,000 a month working online. That’s roughly $330 a day. So start out by saying you want to make $10 a day online. Then double your goal to $20 a day online. Give yourself a time frame in order to achieve these goals. Once you have goals you can roughly know what you have to do in order to achieve those goals.

Fundamentals of Marketing and Business

It’s important you know internet marketing concepts in order to be successful online. In order to attract buyers to your offers to make you money you’ll need to create relevant traffic sources and offers. It’s important to understand the different ways to do this and experiment with them yourself.

“Free Scratch Tickets, Real Prizes! Click on the scratch ticket image to play your free scratch ticket for real prizes now! No cost, no registration! You must be over 18 years. This contest is VOID in any jurisdiction within the United States, Canada or elsewhere where participation is prohibited by law.” — MR FREE

The sound of the word “free” is tempting; and the sound of the phrase “real prizes” is even more appealing. What is there to lose? Anyway, it’s all free. The ad said it requires no information and all you got to do is to click the image to play your free scratch tickets. Everything seems like it’s a win-win situation.

You have probably just joined the thousands of people who could not resist scratching the card using the mouse and rubbing off the ticket’s covering… Congratulations you have won!!! Or, have you?

Free scratch tickets, instant win game, scratch off, free scratch cards, scratch and win, scratch ticket, scratcher, scratch to match, scratch2cash, scratch prize tickets, scratch off, scratch game - there are indeed a lot of names for these games. The common goal is to have anything from 3, 6 or 9 and the golden or silver panels are meant to be rubbed to reveal the symbols. Most of the themes are colorful and they range from pictures of pirates, cowboys, space, card symbols or even just anything under the sun. Surprisingly, almost all of the free scratch tickets always reveal winning symbols. Indeed, they’re free; but where is the catch?

Some websites will give you chances to play free online. They won’t ask you to register any information until such time that you would have to be notified if you’ve won the game. So after finishing the game, you would have to reveal your name and e-mail address. Other scratch cards websites are even more intrusive. They would even ask for your address, phone number, occupation, marital status, salary range, age, date of birth, and a lot more of information. In a way, it doesn’t seem free at all. You have given your information and that’s the payment for playing their online free scratch tickets.

And what happens to the prize? Certainly you are given the jackpot prize points that you can spend on their website. You can play more games that give you more chances of winning as you reveal more of yourself. During your visits, you are tempted to play more. You start to gamble and you get yourself in a situation that most internet gamblers are in. Your free scratch tickets have leading you to the road of online gambling. Months will pass and you would become an active member of the online gambling community. Sooner or later, you would find yourself betting more than you can afford.

Free scratch tickets definitely sound appealing. They would always persuade you to start playing and start winning. Nevertheless, as soon as you start winning; you start to keep yourself from resisting or from stopping.

H. Bernard Wechsler asked:




After fifty years of research by Western medicine, it is time to recommend meditating twice-daily for 20-minutes each - because it aids your longevity, healing and stress-busting.

The Hindus in India, Buddhists is Asia, and millions of Americans do a deep relaxation exercise that helps prevent many diseases from getting a foothold in their minds and bodies.

Meditation is used to accelerate healing, enhance health, and improve the function of our life processes. Research in August, 2006 - indicates that those who regularly meditate suffer
less common colds.

Han Selye

The father of understanding stress and the fight-or-flight syndrome was Dr. Hans Selye, a Canadian endocrinologist. He lived 1907-1982, and experimented at the University of Montreal, where he published 32 books on stress.

Today the AMA does not contradict his theory that Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke are somehow introduced by chronic-stress. Meditation is on the verge of being accepted as an adjunct to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

How To Do It

Let us not get bogged down in the philosophy of meditation, but see it as the integration of our left and right brains toward creating a firewall against disease, and reducing or eliminating chronic-stress.

For detail medical data, Google Dr. Herbert Benson, Harvard Medical School. He offers a laundry list of mental and physical benefits from meditating.

Our personal experience over five-years is extraordinary, but we suggest you do your own research. It is not invasive, requires about 40 minutes daily, and offers everything to gain, and nothing to lose.

Start

One: sit with your eyes closed, feet flat, and hands on the top of your knees.

Two: prepare to repetitiously chant some simple words – a Mantra is Sanskrit, for Thought.

Three: focus upward toward your third-eye, the Pineal-Gland; it is situated between both-eyes in-line with your eyebrows.

Four: use your fingertips to rotate back-and-forth across both thumbs throughout each twenty-minutes of meditating.

The Mysterious Sounds

Indians claim up to 3,500 years of experience with the use of sound as a vibrational frequency to excite the healing processes and activate mind and body - for improved life and enhanced health.

We recommend two separate mantras to quiet your stream-of-consciousness and reduce chronic stress.

a) Sat Nam – remember it as Viet-Nam, but it is pronounced and chanted - But-Mom. Take a deep diaphragmatic breath and gently release the air as you chant in a loop, B-U-T - M-O-M, B-U-T - M-O-M, etc., for a total of a two-dozen times. Drag-out-the sounds of the four phrase mantra.

b) SA-TA-NA-MA is the second looped chant. Take a deep diaphragmatic breath and slowly exhale as you repetitiously chant SATANAMA twenty-four times.

c) Simultaneously focus on your third-eye, while rotating you fingertips across your thumbs. The sequence is inhale, chant, third-eye, and fingertips.

Tell Me More

Here is what advocates of Kundalini Yoga suggest:

These two chants link us to two different vibrations of intelligence.

Sat Nam pierces the universal veil, and permits us to reach Infinite-Intelligence and Cosmic-Consciousness.

The SA-TA-NA-MA meditation is to clean out the closets of our non-conscious mind. Do this daily to transform how our mind and body experience life. Remember – it is our right-brain (non-consciousness) – that produces choice and life decisions.

Change

We expect positive change in the future, and consider change a way to feel happier, and more peaceful. Simultaneously, we fear a change in our comfort-zone and the status-quo. Simply – it is a contrast between the known and unknown.

It is normal to want to be healthier, experience great relationships, and when sick, to be healed. Who does not want to be richer, get promoted and discover great meaning in our activities and behaviors?

We want to evict bad habits like smoking, overeating, anger and depression; and reprogram ourselves with self-esteem, more happiness and pleasure in our lives.

It is common knowledge even among twelve-year-olds that change begins with ourselves; others and our environment will not alter their systems and beliefs to suit us.

Is it a fact that when we change our inner-reality, our world becomes different?

Change your state-of-mind, beliefs and mood, and you control your life?

Think about this: the essence of all things is energy, electro-magnetic vibrations, but operating at different frequencies. Today, physics offers String Theory, 100 year old successor to Quantum Mechanics, to explain the universe.

Is it possible to alter our own vibrational-frequency to match what we want to attract? The answer may be in meditation through chanting because it raises our vibrations.

Endwords

Ignore these two meditations at your peril. Learn and use them and discover the enormity of your personal and potential gifts-and-talents.

We advocate chanting for health, healing and joy - for its own sake. In terms of speed reading – chanting (meditating), removes resistance to learning.

Do you rationalize, become resigned to the status-quo, become aggressively opposed, and retreat (flight), from self-improvement? It is fear of newness.

See ya,

Lena Leino asked:




If you are pregnant and past you due date, you are undoubtedly feeling the anxiety with waiting for labor to start. At this point, you may be searching for ways to start labor naturally. Many obstetricians today look towards medical labor induction when an expectant mother is past her due date. This route can throw your birthing options out the window, such as a homebirth. Unfortunately, you will be hard pressed to find a doctor that will not recommend chemically inducing your labor once you are past your due date; regardless of the risks or harsh side effects. Many mothers that have experienced the side effects from using medication to start labor shiver at the thought of going through it again.

You might have already come across various methods on how to start labor naturally. You might even have tried sex, EPO, walking, spine adjustments by chiropractic, bouncing on the birth ball, and spicy foods, in order to start your labor naturally.

Acupuncture in another commonly suggested way to naturally start labor. Some people are skeptical about acupuncture for labor. It has been shown in several studies, however, that by stimulating specific acupuncture points, the body is gently urged to begin the process of childbirth. The only complication that may occur is some slight bruising at the puncture points. Some people might be afraid of possible pain caused by needles that are used to stimulate the acupuncture points for inducing labor naturally. The acupuncture needles used are solid, yet extremely thin. That’s why there is very little or no pain during the treatment.

Most acupuncture specialists will not make house calls to perform the treatment; this could be a problem for an expectant mother who is past her due date.

Acupressure is another method shown to be very effective in bringing on labor. A simple and comfortable way to naturally encourage labor is acupressure. Acupressure is similar to acupuncture because the same points of the body are used, but without the needles. However, acupressure utilizes thumbs and fingertips rather than needles. In order to stimulate the acupressure points to start labor, the points are first located according to some simple measurements. Using just your fingertips or thumbs, pressure is given to points on the body. The pressure could be applied as a small rotating movement, static pressure, or in a pressure-release manner.

Sometimes, only one acupressure treatment is enough to “kick-start” labor but usually the treatment is repeated in a few hours time. Acupressure for labor is beneficial not only in inducing labor naturally, but is also extremely helpful in relieving labor contraction pains, back pains, and nausea, that are often associated with pregnancy.

What is wonderful in acupressure for labor is that it could be used at home. Because acupressure is simple, a person with no previous experience could use this method with great success, just by following basic instructions. Hence, more and more pregnant women and their partners are using acupressure for conditions related to pregnancy, including the induction of labor. Midwives and natural health care doctors agree that acupressure is a safe and effective way to naturally start labor.

There are many things that may be difficult to learn, but knowing how to draw house plans is not one of them. In fact, it would not take you very long to be able to do it yourself and then you can start drawing your own house plans for your dream home. Here are just a few things you need to know about learning how to draw floor plans.

The Home Design Software

Drawing house plans and floor plans requires that you use special home design software. This software, such as is offered by CAD, or Chief Architect, simplifies the process and enables you to use special features that are necessary for your custom home designs. Some of this home design software contains features like:

Furniture Cabinet design Siding texture Floor textures And more.

These features are used when you tell the home design software program to generate your 3-D images so you can know what your custom home will look like.

The Time Involved

Learning how to draw your own custom house plans really does not take long. Two courses can be completed in just a couple of months, but you can learn how to draw a ranch style home in about a month. The nice thing about computer courses is that you have the freedom to work at your own speed and schedule. This allows you to put in the time you have available, or whenever you are available, even if 3:00 am is the only time you have for it!

The Assistance Available

Taking a course is one thing, but doing it with the ready help of a trained and very experienced house plan designer will definitely give you an edge. Questions can be freely asked through emails and you will get an answer quickly.

The Focus of the Lessons

These courses will teach you what you need to know about designing your own floor plans. By the time you finish the first course, which could be completed in a month, you will have made the floor plans for the ranch style home. This will include:

Elevations Foundation Basic electrical Kitchen Doors and windows Porches and Decks And more!

The second course will teach you how to draw a two-floor home. Between the two courses you will have learned enough to get you going so that you can begin to create the house plans for your dream home.

The House Plans You Create

Being given the basic tools for drawing house plans, you can go from there and use your imagination to create your own dream house plans. You will be able to experiment and tweak your unique creation until it is just the way you want it. Best of all, after your new home plans are done, it is just a few more steps until you can build it - and the best part - live in your dream home that you designed yourself.

Steve Sutherland asked:




The lawn care business can seem extremely easy to enter due to the low start up costs involved A basic lawn mowing business can be started for just a few thousand dollars if you exclude the cost of buying a vehicle. This article looks at funding and start up costs for a small lawn care business.

For some lawn care business operators, start up costs end up being more than expected, debt can spiral out of control and income can be surprisingly slow in the beginning.

As it will take you some time to build up a client list and get some money coming in it is a good idea to buy your equipment with cash instead of buying on credit and going into debt.

You don’t necessarily have to start off with the best gear. Just start your business off with what you feel are the essentials and then as you increase your income over time you can slowly invest in additional equipment.

To get started with a lawn care business you really only need a lawn mower, mulching bag, an edger and your vehicle. A pick-up or small truck is preferred but you can get away with a station wagon or SUV.

Buying good quality, second hand equipment is one way to minimize start up costs and lower your risk.

Leasing equipment is also preferable to going into debt in the early stages of your business. Try to look for a short-term lease so that if you want to quit the business after a trial period then you won’t be locked into a long-term contract. If you quit your business, returning leased equipment is preferable to being stuck with a lot of debt and expensive lawn care equipment that is hard to sell.

If you can’t get a small interest free loan from family and you really do need to seek funding then make sure that you have a solid business plan in place that you can take to potential lenders to show them that you are serious.

However, before you look at small business financing options for your lawn care start up investigate the possibility of getting a small business grant from your state or government. The lengthy application processes involved and the small chance of success turn most people off this idea but it is worth looking into if you are eligible.

All in all though, we are really not talking about a lot of money that is involved with getting a lawn care business up and running. Entrepreneurs who are keen to get started in the lawn care business should look upon the raising of their own start up capital as being their first challenge.

Dolson McArt asked:




There are plenty of people who wish to put up there own businesses but do not have the means for it, so they end up not reaching for their dreams. You need money in order to put up a business such as daycare center. It may not be that expensive but you still have to do small investment. Actually, a small investment can also be terrifying, so there are some who can’t pursue their dreams.

The good news is that, you can pursue your dream of opening your own daycare center with the help of government grants. The US government allocates millions in grants each year. On both federal and state level, there are lots of small businesses who are given grants.

So, with these grants, you can now open your own daycare center that you wish to have. Definitely, you can! Take note, this grant money are for free, you do not have to pay it back once you were granted with it. This is far different from loan, as soon as you were given this grant, you can use it in opening your own small business and you never have to repay it.

Don’t be too excited, since you need to work for it and provide effort in order to be granted with it. Bear in mind that this is free money, so you have to show that you are worth it to have it.

Everyone wants free money, so there are lots of people who are applying for government grants as well. Knowing the fact that there are many others who are applying, you need to make sure that your application will shine than the others. You will have bigger chance it you created a catchy and appealing application form.

In order to make sure that you can effectively submit a catchy application form, you need to invest a little with grant resource. You can use the internet in finding the right grant resource that you can use. Actually, as soon as you gain a grant, investing with grant resource is worth it.

Bear in mind that gaining a government grant is your first step in putting and running a profitable and rewarding daycare center. But, with this government grant, you can start much easier and stress-free.

You have to submit a complete application and make sure that all the necessary information is in there. Before sending the application, you need to double check it. Make sure that yours is appealing and interesting to stand out among other applicants.

Emylou asked:


Looking forward to a day at the park with your kids or how about basking in your backyard or a weekend getaway, with that oh, so lovely sun beating down on you?

 

Did you know though, that even the slightest exposure to the sun could target fair skin, far worse than people with a slightly darker complexion?

 

Seek some shade if outdoor activities are unavoidable. If you can’t avoid being in the sun however, then don’t forget to slap on that sunscreen, preferably with a S.P.F. (Sun Protection Factor) of 15 or higher, before you venture outdoors.

 

Although the act of applying sunblock may seem like a bore, believe me, prevention is far better than cure.

Besides sunscreen, a fashionable large-brimmed hat or baseball cap should do the trick or what about a fancy parasol? And don’t forget those ever-important shades. Your eyes need protection too.

If you forgot your sun protection and ended up burnt or if you slathered it on unevenly and you have a streak of red across some part of your body (how embarrassing!!) you’re paying for it now with reddened skin. Ouch. Although you may not acknowledge it, your skin certainly does!

Sunburn, at times, can cause mild pain and redness, affecting only the outer layer of skin. The thick sap of the aloe vera plant or a soak in a cooling tea bath are excellent home remedies to a soothing effect. 

You may not think much of a mild one, but what if you have developed oozy blisters? Still think nothing of it? This type of sunburn is usually more painful and takes longer to heal. In severe cases like this, it’s time to bring in the professionals.

Sunburn is something a great deal of people experience fairly regularly during the summer season. Just because it is commonplace, does not mean that this condition does not require special attention proper care.

Don’t ignore the telltale signs of the sun’s damaging effect on your precious skin. In reality, anyone who spends too much of unprotected time in the sun is a candidate for first or second-degree burns, children included.

 

So, don’t forget to slather on that sunscreen on all parts of your skin exposed to the sun.

John Smith asked:


Unusual gifts are fantastic things. Not only are they often inexpensive treats with a genuine ability to make someone’s day, they also often have the ability to reflect a person’s personality or sense of fun in a way that more expensive presents often cannot; which is especially true for those among us who have seriously green fingers. And if the intended recipient of the unusual gift has a taste for chilli peppers, then so much the better.

The humble chilli pepper is a member of the nightshade family of plants, and far hotter than its larger and milder relatives. Indeed, the popular bell pepper would be hard-pressed to generate even a tickle at the back of the throat compared with the chilli, although they are pretty tasty in salads. However, now that deliciously hot chillies are cultivated all over the world – and they have been for some time now - their usage has helped to shape and define the cuisine of many different countries. Indeed, it is worth remembering that, although chilli peppers are not native to Asia – they were introduced by Europeans – the fruit is now a popular ingredient in food from areas as diverse as Szechuan in China, Thailand, Korea and India. Some countries, such as Japan, even go as far as cooking the leaves of the chilli plant.

So, if the object of your unusual gifts is a fan of the aforementioned chilli pepper, why not opt for the Hot Stuff Chilli – Pocket Garden. Packing quite a bit of heat, the chilli pocket garden is an amazingly simple way to grow your own herbs and spices; the seeds will go from germination – which takes 21 days – to fruit production in 16 weeks.

However, anyone growing this unusual gift should bear in mind a few things when cultivating and using chilli’s. While the Hot Stuff Chilli – Pocket Garden will produce fruit that is more than acceptable for the western palette, there are a number of fiery monsters out there that can do more than make just your eyes water.

So, for anyone who isn’t familiar with the many different types of chilli out there, Caribbean Red peppers a must. Although hard to cultivate in the UK, Caribbean Red peppers pack quite a fruity flavour, not to mention an intense fiery heat. However, if it’s fiery intensity you’re looking for, then Habanero chillies are worth getting hold of. Closely related to the scotch bonnet variety of pepper, these bad boys really know how to pack a punch. And for anyone looking for something truly hot, then the Naga is one of the big daddies of the chilli world; it’s hot and it will hurt, but it’s well worth it.

The Hot Stuff Chilli – Pocket Garden comes complete with seeds for the Numex Twilight chilli pepper. Based upon the Thai Ornamental pepper, the Numex Twilight was actually developed at New Mexico State University and produces fruit that can shift from a purple colour to yellow and orange, before finally turning red.

Lovers of this unusual gift may be interested to note that the Pocket Garden range is also available with a number of other plants. Whether the green-fingered object of your affections is into Organic Mustard and Cress, or even Catgrass, there is certainly a little something for everyone. The pocket garden range even includes flowers, such as beautiful forget me not’s and marigolds; common herbs, such as mint and oregano are also available.

And if these little pocket projects develop into something big, or if the recipient of your unusual gifts has a whole garden they’re proud of, then the My Gardening Journal could also be an amazing treat. Perfect for storing notes, planning projects and even for recording hints and tips, the My Garden Journal is ideal for anyone looking to make the most of their green fingers.

Go on – give unusual gifts that can really help somebody blossom!

Guptajit Pathak asked:


While face to face with the socio-cultural life and the natural panorama of Assam, one generally field incited and highly delighted to write and draw about its picturesque landscape and culture.

Culture in India has variegated forms, hence, it is like a necklace. Assam the “Land of Rising Sun” is properly known for its unique nature, culture and traditions, more so its variety of dances.

Of various ethnic groups of people who are living in Assam with their rich culture, the Boros or the Bodos are also one. They are a branch of the Indo-Mongoloid family who are still able to follow their traditional customs, beliefs and practices. Actually speaking “their identity is not uniform as an ethnic group”. It is so because different names are used to designate them in different places as for example, in upper Assam they are called as Sonowal and Thengal Kachari on the one hand, while in Western Assam they are known as Boros or Boro-Kacharis on the other.

The Boros are very ancient inhabitants of Assam. They have been living in almost all the districts of Assam. Their population is not a poor one. They have contributed much to the culture of Assam. In the words of Dr. Promod Chandra Bhattacharya __ “The Mongoloid Boro culture of Assam has to some extent influenced the Indio (Indo-Aryan) Assamese culture and nice versa”.

The Boros observe many festivals and ceremonies and enjoy some dances in their social life. Of the important dances enjoyed by them mention may be made of the “Bagurumba dance” and the Doudini or the Deodhani dance.

THE BAGARUMBA OR BAGURUMBA DANCE

The Bagarumba or Bagurumba dance is an important dance of the Bodos of Assam, which attracts them as other dances in their social life. This dance has a peculiarity as it has a special attraction for the Bodo girls. It is so specially in creating a festive mood of much gaiety and merriment of the dance. However, it is the dance in which only the girls can participate. It is instituted just after the hard plantation work of the people. This dance does much to relieve them of their pain of the work.

The Bagurumba dance is a spring time dance of the Bodos of Assam. The hidden matters of the Bathou Puja are found in this dance. However, the Boro girls put on their traditional dresses and dance like butter flies spreading out their dances. The dance is instituted only to appease or propitiate “Bathou”, the supreme god of the Boros. The Boros regard the Sizu Plant (Euphorbia Splenden) as the symbol of this deity or god. The Bagurumba dance is also called “butterfly dance” as the dancers i.e. the dancing girls dance like butterflies. The dancers dance uttering “bagurumba hay bagurumba” etc.

The Bagurumba dance is considered as a light dance. This dance is not only attractive but also solemn. It may be remembered that the song of this dance gives us a simple description of the world of nature.

DOUDINI OR DEODHINI DANCE OF THE BOROS OR THE BODOS

The Doudini or Deodhini dance forms an important part in the Kherai Puja of the Boros of Assam. The term Deodhini is derived from the Sanskrit word “Deva” which means god or deity and “Dhani” means sound, i.e. echo. Hence the term “Deodhini” literally means the sound or utterings of a god or deity. But Dr. Maheswar Neog gives a different meaning of the word. He opines that Deodhini Devadhani is originated from “Deva” which means god and “Dhani” means woman.

The girl selected for a Deodhani must possess of some bodily qualities. She must be a girl who has attained youth. She must be of slender body. Her body’s middle part must be lean or thin. Moreover, her ******* must be high on the one hand while her buttocks must be wide on the other. The Deodhini is celibate.

During the time of dancing the Deodhini wears a special type of cleaned dress. Her girdle is of black or red colour. There is is a yellow or red coloured “Gamosa” around her waist. She does not wear any shirt at the moment of dancing. Moreover, she wears different kinds of ornaments. Of them mention may be made of nose-rings, ear-rings, different kinds of necklaces, bracelets and small drum like talismans. Besides these ornaments she marks a big vermilion mark on her forehead on the one hand and ties a “Kachari Khopa” (i.e. Boro or Kachari Plait) or a heart-shaped plait on her hair. Thus she becomes very beautiful and hence attractive.

It has already been mentioned the importance of the Deodhani or Doudini in the Kherai Puja. In the words of Dr. Kameswar Brahma it has been expressed thus__ “The Doudini is the key dancer during the Kherai Puja”. She performs all the items of the puja with the help of the Oja and a githal. However, two drum beaters, two players of slphung, two players of Jotha are also necessary to help the Deodhini to perform the Puja in a successful way.

During the Puja the Deodhani shows three stages of activities. Being charmed by the Oja she falls into a trance and goes on dancing appeasing many gods or deities beginning with the Bathou or Siva and ending with Lakshmi. She at one stage dances a virile war-dance taking a sword and a shield. Her movement in each stage means for a different deity. So the tune of the siphung and the beat of the will be different according to which she changes her body-movements. After the ending of the dance the Deodhini predicts the fortune of the people and their other matters when she is asked by the people participated in the Puja.

The Kherai Puja and the Deodhini or Doudini dance are of great important in the life of the Boros. They are inseperable. The Puja is followed by the dance. They are two important valuable resources of the culture of Assam. However, at present the Deodhini dance is going to be extinct in no time. But we should be alive to it and do the needful for its revival by justified thinking and performance.

Mitch Johnson asked:


Once a boy or a girl entered in Dance Party all they expect is to dance. Dance may be of many types and style. But the best dance is that when all party youngster dance together putting hand in hand without any trace of heartbreak. This article is to provide you with different types of dance for your Dance Party.

By the time the Grand March is over everyone will feel sufficiently “in” and will not retire to a corner, but just to avoid that possibility it is well to suggest a “Virginia Reel” an old-fashioned country dance that is easily explained.

The players stand well apart in lines or sets of about six couples facing each other. The boys line is at the left of the girls when they turn to march. All the couples go through the figures at the same time. While the music is being played or sung the leader should call the figures as follows:

Forward and bow right hand swing

Left hand swing: both hand swings do right:

Do si do left

Arm right

Arm left

Head couple lead

Each player advances three steps, bows to partner and returns to place.

Partners advance, join right hands, and turn each other.

Partners join left hands and turn.

Partners join both hands and turn.

Partners fold arms and walk around each other, passing on the right and walking backward to place.

Partners fold arms and walk around, passing on the left and walking backward to place. Partners hook right arms and swing around. Partners hook left arms and swing around.

YOUR LINES AWAY: The girl in the first couple turns to the right and the boy to the left, and the others follow: They march down outside their respective lines, clapping hands in time to the music. When the first couple meets at the foot of the lines, they join hands and form a bridge. As the following couples meet they march under the bridge to their places, the second couple thus becoming the first. The game is continued until each couple has acted as first cou-pie.

At the conclusion of this dance the youngsters will have lost all shyness and be ready to dance the social dances. To add variety to the evening choose two boys and give each a brush, and give two girls each a lemon. A boy may step up to any lad and brush him off with his brush. The lad being brushed must relinquish his girl to the brusher and accept the brush. Then is his chance to brush off some other fellow.

The girls with the lemons in the meantime may step up to any dancing girl and hand her a lemon. That girl must accept the lemon and relinquish her partner to the first girl. This takes away the formality of too stiff a dance and prevents any one person from being stuck with a poor dancer.

A further variation to the program may be added by circle dances in which the couples all dance around a circle and at a given signal the boys step forward to the next girl and the girls backward to the boy behind. This is lots of fun and can be used with any conventional dance step such as the waltz, the two-step, the schottische or fox trot. For this informal dance, a paper-bag supper will provide informal refreshments for informal appetites. Let the girls take one of the brown paper sacks, which contains lunch for two, and pick a lad to eat with her. These bags can contain two paper cups, each filled with chicken salad and wrapped in waxed paper. Two deviled eggs will be quickly devoured (use a bright canape stick in each to hold the halves together). Tiny cakes, cookies, or ice-cream sandwiches (put in the bag just before serving) will do nicely for the sweet tooth.

We guarantee that this very first dance will be long remembered for its fun and thrills, without a trace of heartbreak for even the shyest.

With winter wear well and truly banished to the back of the wardrobe, it’s time to stock up on fabulous summer fashion. From footwear to headwear - and everything in between – it’s all change as this year’s new lines start to hit the high street.

In 2007 big shoes are expected to make a big hit! It’s time to mothball those delicate, feminine heels because it’s chunky wedges and platforms that will feature this year. During the day, rope-wrapped espadrilles will be ‘de rigueur’ and for that glamorous night out, the step up to sexy, evening platforms will be the norm. But, what will you be wearing on top to match footwear that makes such a statement?

With 42% of the average UK women’s wardrobe consisting of entirely black items, its bad news for your bank account but great news for your shopping alter-ego, as you head to the shops for this summer’s super colours. With most designers choosing bright and bold colours incorporating vivid blues, yellows and poppy reds, you’ll need to find the perfect match for you in terms of both the latest fashions and the spectacular colours on show.

For the mega-bold, neon clothing screams ‘dare you to wear me!’, while for futuristic fashion, the space age look is set for a meteoric rise - with metallic silver becoming the ‘must-have’ colour.

But, if you think those colours are just a tad too bold, then fear not. Grey will still feature heavily this year, thanks to stylish ranges from most of the high street fashion stores. And although it may be frowned upon on its own, black is definitely on the racks this summer - mostly when combined with white. Everything including swimwear, accessories and dresses will carry this bold combination in prints and solids, stripes and checks, and dresses and two pieces.

Designs showcased on the catwalks during fashion week highlighted the return of 80s power-dressing. So prepare yourself - shoulder pads are coming back, but hopefully they won’t be accompanied by endless re-runs of Dallas and Dynasty! Also quite bold, but less obtrusive than the pad is the puff sleeve, also favoured by designers and guaranteed to be in plentiful supply throughout 2007, both on tops and dresses.

Denim accessories will feature heavily this year; whether its handbags or shoes, all are designed to be worn with this season’s colours. But, also expected to sell strongly this season will be the evergreen denim shorts, both as hotpants for the bold or on-the-knee versions for the more conservative amongst us. Whilst we’re on the subject, leg-fashion is most definitely back, with the mini-skirt expected to feature heavily in this summer’s must-have fashion items, alongside the recently revived leggings look. With zig zags, panels, pinstripes, pleats, flannel check and countless other designs, you’ll find mini skirts in abundance, while many high street stores will carry extensive ranges and with a similar, massive choice in leggings, you won’t be left wanting.

So, it’s good news if you want to stock up on summer fashion. But, while there is plentiful choice, the secret to making that ideal look will come down, as always to shopping around, trying on all the styles and seeing exactly what suits you!

Your personality shines through with the kind of fashionable clothes that you are wearing. Most American designers try to integrate the specific style, time and fashion era on their clothes that can become a milestone in fashion history.

Fashion trends come and go. What was in a few years ago will surely make a comeback soon. This means that fashion trends usually are classy and timeless.

How would you know if this particular fashion style is for you? We must determine that the clothes that we are about to buy suits our personality and personal taste, and we have to make sure that it suits and complements our weight, height and skin tone. These are the qualities that you have to be conscious about when you look for a fashion article. Your weight and height will determine what part of the body you have to accentuate or what kind of clothing you should wear (long, short, loose or tight). Your skin tone will determine what kinds of colors would be the best choices for you, whether you have to buy light colored or dark colored clothes.

You are the only person who can decide what looks best for you and what king of clothes can show your true identity to the world.

Remember that you should not wear something just because it is in fashion. Make sure that you are comfortable with what you are wearing. You can always wear something that is classic like black and white because it is always in style.
