Traditionally, Indian goldsmiths are usually men and are referred to by a variety of names depending on the region-sonar, swarnakara, panchallar, or thattan. In the Vedic period, goldsmiths had a much higher standing than most other artisans, perhaps because they worked with a precious metal. The goldsmiths had royal patrons. Historical records show that Indian jewellers mastered quite early the various skills required to make fine jewelry-mixing alloys, moulding, drawing fine wires, setting stones, inlay work, relief, drawing gold and silver into thin wires, plating and gilding. The goldsmith may perform all the processes involved in producing a finished piece. In cities, the different operations are undertaken by separate people-the goldsmith prepares the skeletal framework, the chatera engraves, the kundansaaz or jaria sets the stones while the meenasaaz enamels it.

End of the Desktop PC

We announced many years, the PC will die sets. Why? And especially what our future will be made computer?

A change of habits
In recent years, consumer habits and desires have changed. We have seen a sharp decline in sales of fixed pc (tower / monitor / keyboard / mouse) in favor of a higher proportion of sales for laptops.

This problem has increased in 2008, when could have seen an explosion in notebook sales worldwide. It is from this year that sales of laptops have overtaken in volume sales of desktop PCs. The notebook laptop are of a size ranging from 9 to 12 inches, which perfectly reflect the new expectations of consumers (mobility, small footprint).

A recent Deloitte study found that in 2011 it would sell 375 million smart phones and tablets of 50 million against 390 million PCs (200 million laptops, 150 million desktop PCs and 40 million notebooks).

Today's computer manufacturers must cope with new challenges, and begin a new turn because a new future computer seems to be emerging.

"The PC is a truck"
Steve Jobs (Apple boss) announced in June 2010 during an interview: "When we were an agrarian nation, all cars were trucks. But from the moment when the population began to migrate to cities, people began to use cars. I think the PC will suffer the same fate as the trucks. Less and less people will be in the utility. "

Today Mac sales represent only 33% of Apple's business. The ipad and iphone now accounts for Apple, our future with computers. Consumers do not want to complicate things, everything should be done naturally. His music, applications, photos must accompany and be accessible anywhere in seconds. It is widely noted that Apple's touch pad in front. Moreover, with its App Store model, these new mobile devices are a source of income more important for Apple. For Apple, the key now is software.

A system in "the cloud"
For Google, the approach is slightly different. In addition to Android, which has now surpassed Apple in terms of overall sales, the leading Internet search engine is preparing its own operating system. After launching in 2011 Android 3.0, software specifically dedicated to touch pads, Google will launch Chrome OS. This operating system completely turned to the internet has simply dethroned Microsoft's ambition and Windows. All user data will be stored online, email and internet will be available in seconds without having to install applications, or configure anything in a notebook computer type.

In addition, there are whispers in the IT industry that Google is also preparing its own touch pad nothing surprising really.

Microsoft
Leading operating systems ever since, Microsoft seems to want to start too fast. A shelf of windows 7 does not meet a great success, because the system does not really seem suited to the desires of mobile users. The first rumors for Windows 8 show a convergence between Windows and its latest operating system for smart phones, Windows Phone 7. In addition, Windows 8 will be fully adapted to new architectures (processor, memory, etc...) Mobile.

How would we use computers in the future? Only time will tell. But the shift seems well underway. Sales of touch pads explode worldwide, we are connected to the internet 24 hours 24 with our smart phones, and desktop PCs are becoming increasingly rare in homes.

Elizabeth Taylor

The recent death of Elizabeth Taylor shocked the world and Mexico is no exception, as it was in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, where the actress lived moments of your life and soon it will perform a tribute to the protagonist The Night of the Iguana.

In an interview with the Assistant Director of Art and Culture of Puerto Vallarta was reported that there will be an event, including the American community in Jalisco, to pay tribute to legendary actress.

"Definitely if it's going to do, hopefully soon, a well-deserved tribute for her because she was instrumental in the discovery of Puerto Vallarta and it was very important part of his life," the official confirmed.

It was in 1963 when he was shot in the Mexican port tape The Night of the Iguana, Photography by Gabriel Figueroa, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor lived one of the happiest moments their romance before marrying for the first time.

The actor bought a property, Kimberley House, who gave the actress on her 34th birthday. The couple helped make Puerto Vallarta one of the most important tourist spots in Mexico.

According to a report made by Sharon Stadja, after two divorces Elizabeth Taylor with Richard Burton, the actress visited the Casa Kimberley few times and the last was after the death of the actor: "He could not even spend the night in home. The memories were too painful. "

Even if the Casa Kimberley is impaired, there are still tours where they tell stories of the time that Burton and Taylor lived in Mexico.

Visit to Taj Mahal

That is what we find in Agra. From the most luxurious to the most miserable. From the most lavish to the most degrading.On the one hand, the majesty of one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal. On the other hand, Agra, a chaotic, confusing, where travelers can hardly walk twenty feet without being harassed by a seller or a child begging.

The visit to the Taj Mahal, which must exist, we will enter a world of luxury and perfection, that Shah Jahan wanted to stage in memory of his late wife, for the construction of such divine treasure held in honor of it was his second wife, died giving birth to her fourteenth child.

This sublime mausoleum is the most admired monument in the country and is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture.

The entry is exactly cheap (about 12 euros), but coming to Agra and not seeing this beauty in white marble would be a crime.
In fact, the vast majority of travelers who come to this town in the state of Uttar Pradesh, it is with the only motivation to look at this work of art and his visit to Agra takes less than a day ... As our point of view is a mistake because the area offers a number of other treasures, overshadowed by the omnipresence of the Taj Mahal, are condemned to an undeserved indifference.
We would be talking, for example, the Agra Fort. Without a doubt, elsewhere, this monument would be the jewel of the city ... but being the neighbor of the Taj Mahal is not easy, even when it is one of the most notable strengths of Mughal India.

Akbar also highlight the Mausoleum erected in honor of the greatest of the Mughal emperors. Its structure, sandstone and marble, will be well portrayed if we have to make pictures to the setting sun.

And just 40 km west of Agra, find a magnificent fortified ghost city, Fatehpur Sikri, which for only fourteen years was the capital of the Mughal empire.

But the merits are sometimes not enough, and Agra is still considered, in view of many, just as the city where the Taj Mahal.

Perhaps if it were not so chaotic Agra, so dirty, so complicated. If I had the odd decent hostel in which to stay ... travelers stay longer than 24 hours and would have the opportunity to see and know a little bit of this city whose poverty and dirt contrasts paradoxically with the grandeur and cleanness of the monument which has become famous.

Valentine Day Ideas

Valentine's Day looming on its horizon. Let's not talk now about the need for daily instead of once a year to show their love, as well as the feasibility of this celebration, which evil tongues is called "UN-Russian" and dwell on how well this day, make interesting and memorable.

To begin, we divide the gifts that you can give on this day, a few categories:
1. The main gift.
2. Supporting small gifts and tokens.
3. Situation.

Ideally, embody the ideas of all kinds. However, if for whatever reason (money, for example), you can not, do not worry. Select then the idea that the most you will attract and attach to it the soul!
The main gift.

The main gift - it is the fulfillment of a cherished desire favorite rights. I do not think that many men have a deep desire regular razor, or a set of socks, and women - a new vacuum cleaner or tea service. Presented a similar gift in any ordinary day. And in an unusual - let's think about the incarnation of desire.

Idea 1. Observation.
The main way to get information about the cherished desire - is communication, plus observation. Usual daily interaction, from which you learn that love, and you do not like your loved one. What he dreams that it inspires, that it is amazing. You can hear a hint in one month, and realize it is quite different. If you get the hand, then you may never need to think hard over the main gift - just look at his notes or remember the feelings and emotions of your partner.

How do you know that your loved one is something like:
- In his eyes appear shiny when he talks about it;
- Hear the excitement in his voice, and joy;
- He is holding his breath, looks at the thing or event, and draws your attention to this;
- He talks about it with their friends and girlfriends on the phone.
Supporting small gifts and tokens.

Idea 2. Handicrafts.
This year, do not buy a valentine, and make it their own hands. This will be a great way to show what you think about the loved one, investing your feelings and love. Signature also advise you to use their own compositions. If the verse - all wonderful. And even if it's simple little rhyme, "Sasha, Masha," "love-carrot", it is still important lines of what exactly you came up with them!

The idea of 3. Resourceful.
Romantic coupons. About a year I try to impart this idea to the Russian-speaking readers. On its authorship, I do not pretend - Podgorica himself in a foreign Internet. The meaning is: you first create a small card on which is written some desire. For example, "house cleaning", "trip to the restaurant, breakfast in bed," "massage", etc. This is called a coupon. Next, you give these cards a beloved person. And he may at any time ask you to fulfill what is written on the coupon (i.e present the coupon for execution). Valentine's Day

The idea can be strong enough to change and beat. For example, give a blank, and the man himself wrote the desire, you can negotiate the terms of presenting the coupon to the execution, you can use the coupon as a prize winner in the card, desktop, or your other games, you can just pile on the morning of the upturned scattered coupons to pull out one at a time
