The ancient system of Vedic Mathematics was rediscovered from the Indian Sanskrit texts known as the Vedas, between 1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji (1884-1960). At the beginning of the twentieth century, when there was a great interest in the Sanskrit texts in Europe, Bharati Krsna tells us some scholars ridiculed certain texts which were headed 'Ganita Sutras'- which means mathematics. They could find no mathematics in the translation and dismissed the texts as rubbish. Bharati Krsna, who was himself a scholar of Sanskrit, Mathematics, History and Philosophy, studied these texts and after lengthy and careful investigation was able to reconstruct the mathematics of the Vedas. According to his research all of mathematics is based on sixteen Sutras, or word-formulae.
Bharati Krsna wrote sixteen volumes expounding the Vedic system but these were unaccountably lost and when the loss was confirmed in his final years he wrote a single book: Vedic Mathematics, currently available. It was published in 1965, five years after his death.
Using VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE you do not need to the multiplication tables beyond 5 X 5.
Suppose you need 8 x 78 is 2 below 10 and 7 is 3 below 10.
Think of it like this:
The answer is 56.
The diagram below shows how you get it.
You subtract crosswise 8-3 or 7 - 2 to get 5,
the first figure of the answer.
And you multiply vertically: 2 x 3 to get 6,
the last figure of the answer. That's all you do:
See how far the numbers are below 10, subtract one
number's deficiency from the other number, and
multiply the deficiencies together.
7 x 6 = 42
Here there is a carry: the 1 in the 12 goes over to make 3 into 4.
Use the formula ALL FROM 9 AND THE LAST FROM 10 to perform instant subtractions.
For example 1000 - 357 = 643We simply take each figure in 357 from 9 and the last figure from 10.
So the answer is 1000 - 357 = 643 And thats all there is to it!
This always works for subtractions from numbers consisting of a 1 followed by noughts: 100; 1000; 10,000 etc.
Similarly 10,000 - 1049 = 8951
For 1000 - 83, in which we have more zeros than figures in the numbers being subtracted, we simply suppose 83 is 083.So 1000 - 83 becomes 1000 - 083 = 917
It is next to impossible to capture a photo without a camera. A camera is a device, which enables the recording of still and moving photographs within seconds. Without camera, it was never possible to capture good memories.
Camera was first designed by Joseph N. Niepce, who was from France, a retired Military Officer. He invented the first camera in 1826 in France. His camera known as "Obscura" had two wooden boxes out of which one box had a lens and the other had a screen, which was green in color. He then invented a diaphragm, which helped in the clarity of the image by sharpening the image.
The first discovery of the camera was made by a German Mathematician, Friedrich Risner. As there were more and more developments in the technology of camera, this led to improvement in the quality of pictures, film, flash and color pictures. With all these improvements and the developments in the camera, today we are able to see our past in our present. If there were no camera to capture our past, it would have been simply impossible to record our memories and moments of the past.
Alhazen was the person, who invented the first Pinhole Camera, also known as "Camera Obscura". It made the people know the true reason as to why the image often was upside down. Joseph N. Niepce made the first photographic image. The main idea of Joseph was to capture the image by making the light draw the picture.
With many inventors, there was a development of a modern photography. In 1829, it was Louis Daguerre in partnership with Joseph N. Niepce, who made a major improvement in photography. However, soon after the death of Joseph N. Niepce, Louis took over the charge to develop the most modern photography, which was named with his name as daguerreotype. He together with the son of Niepce sold its right to the government of France. He then gained a wide popularity and subsequently, there were as many as seventy photo studios developed in the city of New York.
Lexmark's new concept combines style, speed and elegance into one single all in one inkjet printer, termed the Genesis.
Utilising Flash Scan technology, the Genesis produces prints incredibly quickly and switches between print and scan functions in the blink of an eye. The scanning process is said not to last any longer than three seconds, based on the premise that your Operating System is up to date, your PC is equipped with an up to date specification in terms of hardware and the usage of character recognition software.
The Lexmark Genesis looks smart in its upright position, made even more slick by posessing a 4.4 inch color touch screen. The printer comes wirelessly enabled allowing you to access web technologies quickly, without the need for booting up your PC also. Browse through Twitter feeds, look through Facebook all from the printer itself, and upload scans to wherever you wish. This really is a printer for the current generation, which makes most other printers on the market look a bit cheap and dated.
If it's a classy, up to date and intuitive printer you are after to replace an old one, then look no further than the Lexmark Genesis. It really is a SmartSolution.
Australian cricket team deny spot-fixing allegations

The Australian team has rubbished a report that its two opening batsmen, Shane Watson and Brad Haddin, have been scrutinised for potential spot-fixing in the cricket World Cup match against Zimbabwe.
India's national wire service, the Press Trust of India, reported that the International Cricket Council has launched an investigation into the Australian pair because of their slow-scoring start in the match against Zimbabwe on February 21 - although it erroneously reported it related to the Australia-New Zealand match on February 25. Specifically, it alleged the spot-fixing element related to Australia only making five runs in the first two overs.
Australian team manager Steve Bernard, who last week had to contend with false stories in the Indian media that Australia captain Ricky Ponting had smashed a TV with his bat, said the story was "the silliest thing I've heard this week - and I've heard a lot of silly things since I've been here".

"I've just heard the story a moment ago and I'm not sure how to respond, except to say it would make a cat laugh. It's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard in my life that a side can be 0-5 after two overs and that that's suspicious," Bernard said in Colombo, Sri Lanka, during a training session.
"At the start of any campaign, on a fresh track that the guys weren't used to, it took a bit of time [to adjust] but 260-odd was a pretty good score.
"I'm not sure if it's a make-up story by someone being a bit adventurous or a bit malicious . . . but I don't pay it any credence."
While Zimbabwe is ranked 11th in the world for one-day international cricket, its spinner Ray Price - who opened the bowling against Australia - is ranked the fourth-best bowler in the world in that format.
The PTI story quoted an unnamed source's that the ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) was "taking no chances at all and all matches are under the scanner for possible indications that any spot-fixing has taken place", because of the fall-out of the guilty verdicts against Pakistan trio Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif.
The ICC says it does not comment on any ACSU matter, including whether or not a match had or had not been investigated, as a matter of policy.
Haddin is expected to address the allegations after the Australian's team's training session is completed.
