Janaki Mandir-NEPAL

Janaki Mandir (Nepali: जानकी मन्दिर) is a Hindu temple which is at the heart of Janakpur, Nepal. It is dedicated to goddess Sita.

It is an example of 'Hindu-Rajput' architecture. This is considered as the most important model of the Rajput architecture in Nepal.


History

The Janaki Mandir was built by Queen Brisabhanu Kunwar of Tikamgarh from central India in AD 1911, at a cost of Rupees 900,000. In local parlance, the temple is also called Nau Lakha Mandir or Temple of Nine Lac Rupees.

In fact, Shurkishordas was the founder of modern Janakpur and the great saint and poet who preached about the Sita Upasana (also called Sita Upanishad) philosophy. Legend has it that King Janak performed the worship of 'Shiva-Dhanus' on this very site. This temple has preserved the broken idol of King Janak and other beautiful idols

Jessica & Tony's Nightclub Romp#

Things look to be getting hot and heated between Jessica Simpson and her new beau Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo after the pair were spotted indulging in a sordid nightclub romp.

According to Us magazine the pair hit up celeb hangout Teddy’s on December 1 where things got a little out-of-control.

"They were all over each other on the couch, making out," a witness told the publication.

"They were on top of each other” the witness adds “It was a little bit much for a public place. He was holding her close and she wasn't paying attention to anyone else."

The report comes just days after the same publication ran a report claiming that Jess – who has been linked to a string of men John Mayer, Adam Levine, Orlando Bloom and most recently Owen Wilson – regret her split from Nick Lachey.

“There are definitely parts of her that regret breaking up with Nick now," a source told the Us.

Yet according to the publication's latest report Jess is smittien with Romo.

The source adds that the 27-year-old is "crazy" about her man "and gushes about how sweet he is."

Aerobic Exercise Is The Way To Good Health

Aerobic exercise is any activity that elevates your health rate and increases your oxygen consumption. In addition, this type of exercise is one of the best ways of improving and maintaining good overall health. The heart, vascular system, lungs, muscles, joints, brain, and nervous system all benefit. Regular aerobic exercise will help you to sleep better, have more energy, be more relaxed, and maintain a more positive outlook. In fact, aerobic exercise is considered an excellent treatment for mild depression, anxiety, and stress-related problems. In addition to all of those benefits, regular aerobic exercise can increase the levels of natural painkillers in the nervous system, making it a good way to control common types of pain.

When combined with a proper diet, aerobic exercise is the most effective method to control your weight. Many people would be happy to shed a few pounds, but for people with pain, weight loss may also mean an improvement in their condition. extra weight puts an extra stress on spinal joints and vertebral disks. If you are overweight, aerobic exercise will not only help to relieve your pain but may also help to control your weight.

Aerobic exercise is good for people with many different health conditions, as long as they start at a reasonable level and build up gradually. However, if you are over age 40 or have a medical condition that you think might be affected by aerobic exercise, be sure to check with your doctor before beginning such a program.

According to exercise physiologists, effective aerobic exercise should increase the rate of your pulse to roughly 70% to 80% of your predicted maximum heart rate. Before beginning to exercise, you should calculate your target heart rate. While exercising, you may want to monitor your pulse to make sure you stay within the target zone. A simple guide to remember is that you should not exercise vigorously and breathe so hard that you cannot carry on a conversation as you are exercising.

If you are taking certain medicines for high blood pressure, your heart rate will not increase with exertion as it normally would. In that case, you should use your breathing as a guide.

Although many jobs are physically demanding, very few will provide you with an aerobic workout. Better options for aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, swimming, bicycling, dancing, playing basketball or tennis, and engaging in any other activity that gets your heart rate into your target zone and maintains that rate for the time you are exercising.

Some people do only one type of aerobic exercise, but it is generally better to alternate among two or more activities. This so-called cross training will make you physically fit for a wider variety of activities and keep you from getting bored.

Tips On Planning Your First Videoconference

Your first videoconference can be a successful and enjoyable experience if you keep the following basic tips in mind.

First, write your objectives. What do you want to happen in your first videoconference? What is the topic? Is there going to be a guest speaker or performer? If so contact the guest speaker or performer and explain what you would like them to do. Select at least two dates that work for both of you.

The first date will be for a technical test to make sure your guest has the right equipment and if the speaker is going to be at your site, on your location, he or she needs to give you a commitment to a dress rehearsal, a simple testing of voice, lighting, and locale. Locale is mentioned because if a speaker has travel involved, they need to be sure they know where they are going and how long it will take to get there so that on the day of the videoconference they can be on time.

Also validate your connections. See if the participating sites have equipment able to run at the same speed as your transmission connection, 384 kbs is preferred, but slower speeds can be accommodated if your videoconference is IP-based. Incompatible equipment cannot videoconference together.

Discuss and confirm the dates and times with other sites and videoconference participants, as well as the time length of the videoconference. Will it be one hour, two hours? Once a workable date and time is established among all involved, you can proceed to the next step.

If you are the speaker, write a basic script in an outline form. Simply list out the highlights of discussion in the order that feels right for you. You can use a printout of this outline throughout the videoconference. Attach it to a clipboard and use it for reference. If someone else is the speaker an outline will still help.

You would begin by blocking out an introduction period at the very beginning of the videoconference where you would introduce all involved to each other. Next, you would introduce the speaker and have an idea how long they will speak Then you would host a question and answer period if the topic calls for it and finish the videoconference with a proper closing, thanking all those who participated for their time.

Review your equipment and connections. If using a web hosting service like NetMeeting you need not arrange for a bridge provider in advance. The bridge provider is a service provided by telecommunications companies, which enables geographically separate videoconferencing sites to communicate with one another via ISND lines. NetMeeting and other such web services fulfill this service for you.

Write a schedule for the videoconference. This should include arrival time for key personnel, guest speakers or performers, the exact start time and your agenda -- what will happen, where and when -- finish with your end time. Fax or email this schedule to all involved.

In your test run and on the day of the videoconference, arrive at least thirty minutes early, reboot all the equipment by turning the videoconferencing equipment off then on again. Rebooting the equipment often clears up minor technical problems.

Check and reset your echo canceller, this eliminates echoes and background or room noise. Do this so that the only sounds heard during the videoconference come from the microphones. Check and set your audio levels and adjust lighting. You should test connecting to the other sites.

Now run through your schedule with the key personnel of each contact site. By now you should be interacting with all those involved either in person if they are in the room with you or by telephone and email if your videoconference is via the Internet. On this note, having a POTS number (which stands for plain old telephone system) is extremely helpful.

The POTS line is the telephone line closest to the videoconferencing equipment. This line is used to troubleshoot problems during videoconferences, which includes calling everyone involved if there is a technological error. The key to a good first videoconference is in advance planning. Plan in advance, test everything at least once, then relax and enjoy yourself.

5 Facts You Should Know About Restlessness-!

Tossing and turning all night is a common problem for many people. But often times, it can be traced to very specific reasons that can be rectified. Once you get to the root of the problem, then you can concentrate solely on how to stay asleep. You should be able to enjoy sleep for the entire night without being up and down every so often.

Here are just a few of the reasons why some people are up at night:

Too Much Caffeine
It may seem obvious to you as you read this, but you may not realize just how much caffeine you consume throughout the course of one day. Since you are ingesting a stimulant, your body will become wound up, and will take a significant amount of time to calm down before bedtime. Even if you have not had any caffeine that day, but usually do consume large amounts, restlessness can still be a problem for you. Long-term effects of excessive caffeine consumption can take months to overcome, and will leave you wide-eyed and awake when the night falls.

Guilty Conscience
If you a worrier, then you may have trouble falling asleep. But if you have done some things that you may not be proud of that have been harmful either to yourself or others, then certainly a good night's sleep is not in your future. If you have not had a chance to get things off your chest before you put head to pillow for the night, then certainly you are in for a long night. Letting go of those bad feelings and thoughts will almost always help you to combat restlessness.

Problems at Home or Work
If it feels like people are against you or there are just certain situations out of your control, it is hard to turn in for the night. Many people either go to bed angry, and end up waking frequently during the night, or they have trouble sleeping overall due to constant revisiting of all the issues in their personal or professional lives. Conflict can be a major source of restlessness, because it adds stress. When your body is stressed, it takes much longer for the nervous system and especially the brain to wind down in order to rest.

Uncomfortable Surroundings
Do you try to lie down for a good night of rest and hear the dog barking, the cars honking or that neon sign down the street that just keeps blinking? Restlessness can result from the fact that your sleeping atmosphere, well, stinks. Noise and other disruptions can make it extremely difficult to feel settled in at bedtime, causing us to sit up for hours waiting for these interjections to just go away.

Chronic Problem
In many cases, insomnia is seen as a significant medical problem. Sufferers will never be able to enjoy a night of rest unless they take several steps to cure what ails them. Other times, it may not be insomnia, but restless leg syndrome, that keeps you up all night. It is usually best to consult a doctor if your sleeplessness carries on for weeks at a time.

When Your Only Hope is a Miracle

A few years ago, one of my brothers was diagnosed with an aggressive strain of leukemia. His initial prognosis was pretty hopeless. All we could do was pray for a miracle. God answered our prayers and when the doctors did his final exam, they found absolutely no traces of disease. They started calling my brother, "The Miracle Man."

There is only one true "Miracle Man" and He is Jehovah Jireh. When your only hope is a miracle, only God can provide what you truly need. 1 Kings 17:8- 24 tells the story of a woman who needed two miracles that only God could provide.

When the prophet Elijah first saw the Widow of Zarephath, she was gathering sticks to make a fire. The prophet asked her for water and food. She explained that she didn't have any bread and only a little flour and oil which she was going to prepare for herself and her son, so that they could eat and die.
Elijah told the woman not to fear, but instead to make a cake for him and then for herself and for her son. He shared with her what the Lord said - "The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth." The widow followed Elijah's instructions and as he said, the flour was not used up and the oil didn't run out.

After some time, the woman's son became sick and died. The woman cried out to Elijah who prayed to the Lord. He heard Elijah's cries and revived the widow's son.

We can learn from the widow's story:

Do Not Fear
Whatever the situation you may be facing, fully turn it over to the Lord. As long as you trust in your Heavenly Father, you can always have hope. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 1:7, "And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation." (See 2 Corinthians 1:3-7)

Listen To Those Who Are Encouraging You
God sent Elijah to a non-Christian to give her hope. As a believer, He will send you hope and encouragement through others as well. When you're going through a trial, surround yourselves with those individuals who will speak life to you.

Be Obedient
The Widow of Zerephath didn't ask Elijah any questions. She didn't call her friends to get their opinions. She didn't ask family members what they thought. The widow recognized that Elijah was a man of God and she did everything he told her to do. What is the Lord saying to you? It may not make sense in the natural, but we serve a God who can make the foolish seem wise. (See 1 Corinthians 1:25)

As a believer, you can believe in miracles and expect them. Don't ever give up hope. The Lord may not work out the situation exactly how you want Him too, but He will miraculously work it out for your good.

Chasing the perfect layout with AdSense for search

AdSense publisher Next Small Things has long understood that search is the entry point for users to find what they're looking for on the web. In fact, the idea for CoolChaser.com, a MySpace layout creation and customization site (and Next Small Things's largest business to date), came from the observation that many web surfers were using the company's search engine to find instructions to change their MySpace backgrounds. The observation and ensuing business idea has paid off, and in just one year CoolChaser.com has gained a loyal user base: over 200,000 users are now finding or creating layouts on the site every day. "CoolChaser has become a one-stop-shop for layouts because of the ease of use and the choice and ability for users to express what they feel at the time," says founder Chao Lam.

With over 20 million user-submitted layouts (and 3,000 created every hour), it was becoming increasingly difficult for users to find the layouts they were looking for. "We were getting a lot of requests from users to provide some sort of search mechanism so that they could easily find what they were looking for," developer Sachiko Kwan says. As an existing AdSense publisher, Kwan decided to try AdSense for search and was immediately impressed by the quick setup process and the accuracy of the results. With the new SiteSearch feature, Kwan was able to restrict the searches so users didn't have to leave the site to find what they were looking for. In addition, the new watermark feature allowed Kwan to add the search box without any rearrangement in the navigation bar.

Most recently, Lam and Kwan began optimizing their search for better performance and user experience. If a user wasn't creating a layout, they were looking for one. So Kwan moved the search box from the upper right corner of each page to the center of the header and also added a second search box to the bottom of every page, in case users who were done browsing needed to search again. On the search results page, she changed the ad borders to a lighter color to better blend in with the site's pages.


Within a week of making these changes, Lam and Kwan saw their daily search queries on CoolChaser increase by 40% and earnings more than double. Since implementing AdSense for search on CoolChaser, search has become the second most popular functionality behind creating layouts. Lam and Kwan continue to focus on user experience, and they are now working to refine search results using keywords and labels. "There's such an enormous variety of things people search for," Lam says. "AdSense for search is really working for us."

What are the benefits Of Todays Niche Marketing Opportunities

In the earlier days of internet marketing, when the web was less populated, most folks trying make a living online didn’t really try to target a particular population with precision. Many of the products offered were of a more “universal” appeal to anyone online and the idea was simply to reach as many people as possible.

Now that the internet is populated by millions of people pursuing a variety of specialized interests, internet marketing has become far more precise in its targeting.

Today, the “buzzword” for many in the marketing business is “niche.”

A niche is a subset of a larger population that shares a particularized interest. Some niches can be quite small, others may be larger. The idea, however, that is important is that they have sufficiently similar characteristics that they can be successfully marketed to as a group.

Internet marketers look for niches that are underserved. In other words, their interest often lies with those groups that have a special core interest to which others are not yet adequately catering. If you can find a significantly sized niche group and find out what it wants, you are positioned to make a healthy profit.

Boiled down to a simple process, the niche marketing strategy works like this. First, identify a discrete niche. Second, verify that the niche is underserved by the existing market. Third, determine the type of product most likely to appeal to members of the niche. Fourth, create, locate or obtain a suitable product.

Finally, sell the product to that niche.

Each of the five steps involves research, effort and hard work.

The results, however, can be amazing. Niche marketing is a perfect example of how many existing online marketing successes work smart in addition to working hard. Internet marketers look for niches that are underserved. In other words, their interest often lies with those groups that have a special core interest to which others are not yet adequately catering. If you can find a significantly sized niche group and find out what it wants, you are positioned to make a healthy profit.

By isolating the right niche and finding the right product, they encounter little sales resistance and can post well above-average conversion rates for their efforts. Instead of competing against thousands of other marketers for business, they are able to work in an area that is far less competitive, giving them an edge.

There is, of course, a downside.

A niche, by its nature, is a subset.

It’s a smaller group.

There are only so many people you can reach and sell to within the niche. Thus, its income production potential is capped somewhat. However, most of those who succeed in niche marketing are able to produce income equivalent or exceeding that earned by those working in larger markets. They may not have as many potential buyers at their disposal, but they make up for that fact with a higher sales percentage.

If you are considering duplicating a successful internet marketing strategy, familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of niche marketing.
