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.

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

Two or three red candles. Get a good bottle of red wine. Cover the table with a red cover and be inventive like on the edges of the table attach white rose’s petals. White because the cover is red and obviously it will be more seen on the red cover.


Prepare a romantic soft music to be played while you two are eating. Try to know what she likes to eat and prepare it for the special event. If you do not know how just ordered it or get help from a friend. Try to not make too much food.

Dress smart for the occasion but no to much. You can dress a pair of black trousers, a white or red skinny shirt and a black blazer on. Put on a good fragrance on your neck and near your ear. Put the three roses were she can see them.

When she arrives and you open the door stare at her as if she is the most beautiful creature on earth and look deep in her eyes and tell her something romantic about her eyes, face, dress or smile. While you two are eating try to keep a balance dialogue. After dinner tell her if she wants to go for a walk under the moon light or continue talking on the roof watching at the stars. Let her kiss you if she want too, try to not force her and keep it always romantic.

This all is a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day. Keep always in mind that it is not how much the gift costs but it is how the gift was made and how much time you dedicate for the gift you made for the one you love. For a woman that means much and as a woman she feels that is important for her because the man she loves spend time to prepare the gift. Try to be simple and spend time on the gift.

Personality Websites

So you checked. You don’t suffer from halitosis, no body odour problems, and you’re not even bad-looking , but you just can’t seem to make any breakthrough with people at social gatherings. Why? Well, it’s probably because you’re bad at conversations. You don’t know where to begin, and when you do, you mostly don’t have anything interesting to say.

Mostly, you’re the person nursing a drink at the periphery of a party conversation, nodding sagely, at least that’s the look you’ve been going for so far. But why stand at the edge when you can be bang in the middle of all the action; holding court, narrating anecdotes, and generally just appearing well-informed on anything and everything.

Here are seven websites, equipped with which, you can appear intelligent to almost anyone. Well, not everyone, but at least it’s a start...

www.thefreedictionary.com
This resource is one of the best places in Cyberia for any information of any sort. Besides dictionaries in English and 13 other languages, the site boasts of a thesaurus, a section for abbreviations, idioms, an encyclopaedia, as well as a literature reference library, and all supported by a nifty search engine.

Daily visitors can also expect regular features such as word of the day, quote of the day, article of the day, this day in history, and so on. But my personal favourite has got to be the word game section, which includes Hangman and Spelling Bee. But I digress. Equipped with this resource, you can wax eloquent on practically anything under the sun.

www.acronymfinder.com
Every now and then, someone might try to appear smarter by spewing out an acronym or abbreviation at you with a condescending smirk. But if you have bookmarked Acronym Finder in you browser, that’s one less tactic they can use to make you feel stupid.

Now, while it won’t keep you informed about everything there is to know, at least it will help you mitigate your losses. This site has more than 7,50,000 ‘human-edited’ definitions, abbreviations and acronyms about computers, technology, telecommunications, and the military. So bookmark it ASAP before people start ROTFL at your ignorance.


www.etymonline.com
This site is all about polishing you into a fairly decent wordsmith. You know you can’t have a conversation without being equipped with the right linguistic skills. Also, it always helps to know the root of words so you don’t trip while trying to appear smart. Enter Etymonline.

This resource will help you understand the origin, development, and the ‘true sense’ of a word. In simpler language, if you need to know the basis of any word in English, then this is the place to go to. Heck, it even covers “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” . You might want to look that one up while you’re at it.


www.biography.com
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people . But how will you ever discuss people, if you know nothing about them? I suggest you make haste to this resource. Whether it’s Pope or Martin Luther King, or , Genghis Khan or the Great, Princess Diana or, you’ll find all their biographies here; complete with photographs, videos snippets, etcetera. And on those nights when you don’t have any social invites, visit Biography.com anyway. It definitely makes for interesting reading.

wolframalpha.com
How do I put this mildly without sounding like a fanboy? Wolframalpha is a with a difference. Enter your birth date as a search parameter, and the engine will throw up details like the number of years, months and days you have spent on this planet; famous personalities that were born on the same day; the phase of the moon on the day you were born, etc.

Enter in a colour, say ‘pink’, and it will throw up its RGB value, its hexadecimal code, complementary colours and the like. But don’t take my word for it, go on, type in Mumbai and Tokyo in the box, and see what you get. Useless facts and statistics can be a great conversation opener.

www.pantheon.org
Everyone likes a story, and mythology has always a good subject to mine for conversations . So for your fill of gods and demons, check out Pantheon.org and Theoi.com; both excellent places to start. While the latter only covers Grecian divinity (and does it exceedingly well), Pantheon includes mythological characters from across the globe: From our own Ganesha to the Greek Zeus, the Roman Jupiter to the Nordic Freya, from the Egyptian Anubis to the Aztec Quetzalcoatl.

The gods, it seems, have made these two URLs their personal domain. So if the exploits of the gods has always been your Achilles’ heel, then this site is your river Styx.


www.brainyquote.com
So you’ve tried a few Siddhuisms, and you’ve managed to get a few guffaws out of your soft-headed friends. But now it’s time to up the ante. If you’re looking to impress people with higher IQs than your cronies, you must take recourse to BrainyQuote.

The site is a repository of quotations from humourists, playwrights, presidents, authors, humanitarians and practically everybody who is anybody. Like someone famous said and I don’t remember who, but you’ll probably find the quote on the site itself: “Next to being witty, the best thing is being able to quote another’s wit”.
