There are three basic groups of Spanish verbs, in these articles we will look at the regular AR, ER and IR verbs.<br />
learn regular Spanish verbs, beginners Spanish<br />
There are three basic groups of Spanish verbs, in these articles we will look at the regular AR, ER and IR verbs.</p>
<p>A verb is a  word that means everything from an action to an opinion, so laugh, go, like, hate, love, drink, fall, smile, hear, write turn, are all examples of verbs. In  English the verb is not changed by who is doing the action. As an example;<br />
 In these phrases, &#8220;I like cheese? &#8220;we like cheese?and &#8220;you like cheese? the verb &#8220;like?stays the same. In Spanish the form of the verb is changed by who is doing the doing. It might sound odd now but it will make sense later!</p>
<p>So lets look at the three main verb types in Spanish. They are the verbs that end in the letters ar, er and ir. they can then be subdivided into regular and irregular. As we are just starting we will stick to the regular verbs.</p>
<p>
Verbs That End In AR</p>
<p>In the Spanish language the group of verbs that end in ar are the most common, so they are a good place to start.<br />
If we use the Spanish verb TOMAR, it means a few different things, but in our case it means to drink. To say &#8220;I drink wine?in Spanish we would remove the a and r , then to add an o. to give us &#8220;tomo vino? You could add yo ( the Spanish word for I) at the start of the sentence but it would be unnecessary.<br />
To say &#8220;you drink wine?to a single person, again remove the a and r, and add as, to give &#8220;tomar vino?<br />
If we wanted to say that he or she drinks wine, then we remove the ar and  add just an a, to give us &#8220;toma vino? This version of tomar would also be used in a formal situation, or if talking to someone for the first time.<br />
When learning our basic Spanish verbs and wanting to say &#8220;we drink wine?we add amos to give us &#8220;tomamos vino?<br />
If we wanted to refer to a group when using &#8220;you drink wine? we would add áis, giving &#8220;tomáis vino?<br />
&#8220;They drink wine?would require the addition of an, so &#8220;toman vino?would be the correct phrase.</p>
<p>These are obviously all in what is called the present tense, which means that it describes what is occurring now,we will cover the other tenses (future, past etc) and the ER and IR verbs at a later date. I hope that this article has been of help and I hope that you stick with Spanish as it is a very rewarding language.</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>

Total gym workouts are the key to developing and sustaining a healthy and strong body. There is a trend for bodybuilders just to concentrate on one limited area, and miss out on the holistic benefits of full body training. Here, we show you the benefits of a total gym workout.</p>
<p>Phase 1<br />
When you start a total gym workout, you should start by doing cardio work. Warming up is essential for any athletic endeavor, and with bodybuilding, you want to get the limbs loose and the blood pumping. Warming up will also help burn off excess fat. Running is a very common way of warming up, but for something really strenuous try the boxer&#8217;s training of skipping.</p>
<p>Phase 2<br />
People often start total gym workouts by working the arms or legs, but this really makes little sense. It makes a lot more sense to end your workout with your limbs, as tiring them early will mean that your arms will only be able to handle reduced weights during the rest of your workout, and your legs will not be able to carry you as vigorously around the gym. Working the chest and back first is a much better progression. Try to use dumbbell bench presses to enhance your chest, and if you have a pec deck, use that. It is not so easy to work your back, but you can do lat pull downs and  deadlifts if you have access to the right equipment, and these should produce very satisfactory results.</p>
<p>Phase 3<br />
The arms can come next, and this is a favorite area of so many bodybuilders. You can look forward to this part of your total gym workout, as your arms can produce the most visible results from your hard work. Too many people don&#8217;t consider that there are 3 sets of muscles in the arm, so you need to exercise them all in turn. You can try some dumbbell curls which benefit the biceps, some triceps pulldowns which will build the  triceps (hard work!), and then forearms curls and reverse forearm curls to enhance your forearm muscles. If you work this hard, you will see for yourself why this is not a good place to start!</p>
<p>Phase 4<br />
Time now for some leg work. Even with total gym workouts, many people overlook the legs, unless they are competitive bodybuilders. As the legs do a lot of work carrying the rest of your body, they respond well to exercise. Start out by doing squats to build your thighs, and if you try single footed heel raises for your calves you should find them highly effective. The hamstrings are the final part, and although they will be exercised by default during your running and warming up, you can also do some basic leg curls which will increase the effect.</p>
<p>This will show you that total workouts can be simple enough, and not take that much time, and also that working the whole body is far more effective.</p>

Is your girl child feeling pressured in the co-ed classroom environment? Do you want to bring up your child in a healthy all girls?environment? Well then waste no time to admit your girl to a good and reputed girls?boarding school where she will receive the proper training to develop a self-belief that will help her to become tomorrow&#8217;s leader. </p>

Is your girl child feeling pressured in the co-ed classroom environment? Do you want to bring up your child in a healthy all girls?environment? Well then waste no time to admit your girl to a good and reputed girls?boarding school where she will receive the proper training to develop a self-belief that will help her to become tomorrow&#8217;s leader. </p>
<p>Education is not just attending school and learning facts. Your child should have to develop skills to meet the challenges of the future. A girls?boarding school will give your girl the right environment to learn and grow. Girls in a boarding school find a close-knit community, wide variety of clubs, teams and activities that help to have a proper intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual growth. </p>
<p>A girls?boarding school will enable your child to explore the world around her, both inside and out of the classroom. In the classroom they will have sharing and will have an equal exchange of ideas. She will get a competitive environment where she will learn to perform and dominate. In most of the schools the students remain busy on weekdays with their academic schedules, electives, extra curricular activities and evening studies. While on weekends they have a lot of relaxation, weekend trips, recreation and cultural outings.</p>
<p>The resident students and faculty of a girls?boarding school form a community. The resident faculties are the disciplinarians and hand holders of the students. They always keep an eye to the girls, assist and guide them and offer counsel when necessary. They all form a family away from home. Sometimes the schools even take the resident girls to local malls, movie, shopping, amusement park and cultural events. </p>
<p>The girls?boarding schools have lots of activities. What does your girl like? Is she interested in sports? Boarding schools, these days, have their own athletic centers featuring basketball and volleyball courts, fitness centers, aerobics room and also gymnasiums. Each school has a specialized gymnasium director to guide your child. If she is interested in music, there are music departments where she can have training in music. She will also have the opportunity to perform in music ensemble. The girls?boarding schools also guide the students to express themselves artistically. They have special drawing, painting classes to develop their skills in drawing. </p>
<p>When your child is in a girls?boarding school you may wonder whether your child is having proper nutrition. You need not have to worry about your child&#8217;s diet, as the boarding schools are on a mission to encourage the girls to have a proper and healthy choice regarding their daily menu. The schools promote healthier eating of the students by adding more nutritious and organic foods to their menu.</p>
<p>As girls start growing they may start to become interested in boys. If such happens to your child she will be more concerned about boys than her books. But studying in girls?boarding school will protect your child from the impact of boys. Besides, the girls are not subject to sexual harassment in an all girls environment. </p>
<p>Social and emotional growth of the girls is the motto of the girls?boarding schools. A good girls?boarding school will not only offer your girl child with the support and guidance to develop her intellect, curiosity and creativity but also the school will help your child to build up her self-discipline and decision making skills and abilities.</p>

There are three basic groups of Spanish verbs, in these articles we will look at the regular AR, ER and IR verbs.. In this part we will concentrate on regular ER and IR verbs in the present tense.<br />
Spanish verbs, beginners Spanish, basic Spanish<br />
There are three basic groups of Spanish verbs, in these articles we will look at the regular AR, ER and IR verbs.. In this part we will concentrate on regular ER and IR verbs in the present tense.</p>
<p>In Part 1,we learned that  a verb is a &#8220;doing?word that covers everything from an action to an opinion, so sing, drink, eat,, like, dislike, love, kick, fall, smile, hear, write turn, are all examples of verbs. In the English language the verb is not changed by who is doing the action. An example would be;<br />
 &#8220;I like cheese? &#8220;we like cheese?and &#8220;you like cheese? the verb &#8220;like?stays the same. In Spanish the form of the verb is changed by who is doing the action.</p>
<p>In the first part we concentrated on regular verbs  ending in the letters a and r. The other two groups of regular verbs are the verbs that end in er and ir.</p>
<p>
Verbs Ending In ER</p>
<p>One of the words meaning to repair in Spanish is rehacer, if we want to say ?I repair cars?in Spanish, we drop the e and r from the end of rehacer and add an o, to give &#8220;rehaco los coches?los coches, is literally the cars). There is no need for the Spanish word for I (Yo) at the beginning of the sentence because by adding the er, we have changed the verb to referrer it to me.<br />
If we wanted to say &#8220;you repair cars?to one person, we would remove the er and add es.  giving us &#8220;rehaces los coches? there is no need to use t?(the Spanish for you) as the change to rehacer has already specified the subject of the sentence.<br />
When we are learning basic Spanish verbs and wanting to say that he or she repairs cars, we can use &#8220;rehace los coches? just add an e to the shortened rehacer. This is also the proper way to use the verb when talking to someone you&#8217;ve never met before or in a formal situation.<br />
&#8220;We repair cars?can be said by the addition of emos to give us &#8220;rehacemos los coches?<br />
Still with us on this one? Well if we wanted to say &#8220;they repair cars? we would drop the er and add en, to form &#8220;rehacen los coches?<br />
Lastly, if we are talking to a group when saying &#8220;you repair cars?we would remove the er and add éis, as so ?rehacéis los coches?</p>
<p>
IR Verbs</p>
<p>Regular verbs ending in ir behave in the same way as regular er verbs in every case apart from one which we will get to, but let us look at the similarities first. The similarities are; for I (yo) drop the ir and add e, for you (t? drop ir and add es, for he/she/formal version of you (él, ella, usted) drop the ir and add e, and you when addressing more than person drop the ir for en.<br />
The exception to the rule that ir verbs are the same as er verbs can be seen if we use WE. I we use &#8220;we climb mountains?as an example, the Spanish for climb is subir , &#8220;we climb mountains?can be &#8220;subimos las sierras? so here we have dropped the ir and replaced it with imos.</p>
<p>So thats how we learn basic Spanish verbs, I hope its been helpful, and also hope that this will be the start of of a larger appreciation of the Spanish language.</p>

Miami Schools are offering a range of summer professional development courses for its public school teachers and administrators in order to help teachers meet federal requirements and learn new methods and approaches to teaching.<br />
Miami Schools<br />
An Overview of Summer Heat 2006</p>
<p>Miami Schools are offering a range of summer professional development courses for its public school teachers and administrators in order to help teachers meet federal requirements and learn new methods and approaches to teaching.   Teachers are eligible to take one Summer Heat course.   These courses will be offered during June and July.   Most courses last about a week and meet from 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM daily.   </p>
<p>The teacher must attend every day of the session in order to receive Master Plan Points.   The Miami ?Dade County School District&#8217;s Master Plan Points Program help teachers earn the graduate level credits that they need to meet the Highly Qualified Teacher Status outlined by the No Child Left Behind Act.   Six Master Plan Points per day are awarded for all the courses with the exception of those that grant actual college credit.   </p>
<p>Professional Development for Teachers</p>
<p>Miami ?Dade County School District teachers benefit from a range of courses that help focus their teaching on special at ?risk groups as well as providing instruction in key subject areas.   Many courses focus on the needs of children with Limited English Proficiency.  These courses help teachers improve literacy of Limited English Proficiency students as well as learn culturally sensitive techniques for including such children in the general classroom.   Other special groups include children with autism and children with behavioral problems.   </p>
<p>In addition to these special groups, Miami ?Dade County School District teachers have the opportunity to enrich their teaching of various core subjects.  Courses abound in all aspects of literacy and mathematics as well as science, the arts, and social studies.   Both elementary and secondary education is covered, including preparation for teaching the Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations at the secondary school level.   On the other end of the spectrum, special attention is also given to the design and implementation of Pre ?Kindergarten curriculum.   Miami ?Dade County School District teachers are also given the opportunity to explore general instructional methods to promote leadership in the classroom, including the Continuous Improvement Model (CIM), Object ?Based Learning, and many others. </p>
<p>Professional Development for Administrators</p>
<p>Miami ?Dade County School District administrators also benefit from the Summer Heat course offerings.  Principals, Principal Trainees, and other support staff have opportunities to learn how to improve their own performance and to help motivate the teachers on their staffs.   The Principal Preparation Program runs courses for Principal Trainee both in their first and second year of training.    Several meetings of the Assistant Principal Academy are scheduled to help teachers make the transition to administrative roles.   In addition, the role of the school psychologist and the teacher ?counselor are also explored in various course offerings.   The School Support Team also has a variety of courses to choose form in learning how to implement school reform.   </p>
<p>University and Community Partnerships  </p>
<p>Miami ?Dade County School District teachers and administrators rely on the support of many university and community partners.   Courses take place at many Miami ?Dade County area schools in addition to universities and private businesses.   Barry University, the University of Miami, the University of South Florida, and Florida International University all offer their campuses for professional development courses.   The Miami Lakes Educational Center also plays a vital role in providing a location for Miami ?Dade County School District teachers and administrators to</p>

5 Steps to Improve Standardized Test Scores?Success for children with learning disabilities and dyslexia.  We teach your child the way they learn best.<br />
dyslexia, learning disabilities, reading comprehension, vision, attention, self-esteem, ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder, <br />
5 Steps to Improve Standardized Test Scores?Success</p>
<p>Standardized reading tests are a major challenge for many students, especially for those with Dyslexia or Learning Disabilities.  The math tests are very difficult for students with reading comprehension issues because the questions are either ambiguous and or very wordy.</p>
<p>For the child, the threats include:<br />
?They will be retained<br />
?Being excluded from more enjoyable activities to get the second or even third dose of reading and math help<br />
?Frequent testing that tends to reaffirm their issues</p>
<p>Parents are often frustrated that progress is minimal, despite a major investment of time, money and time.  This article is designed to help parents understand that learning differences, vision and attention issues could all be playing a role.</p>
<p>Reading comprehension, attention, vision, and test taking issues can all be major contributors to your child&#8217;s success.  Below we have outlined 5-steps that parents can take to help their child succeed on high-stakes tests and beyond with a holistic approach:</p>
<p>1-	Have a school or outside professional assess your child for reading, attention and vision issues.  Over 75% of our students have two of the three issues and over 40% have all three.</p>
<p>2-	If your child has reading comprehension issues they may be a visual-experiential learner (i.e. excellent memory for places they have been and movies they have seen and learn best when they see and experience information).  We call them:</p>
<p>GOLD Students ?  Gifted Operating with a Learning Difference</p>
<p>When parents view their child as gifted and learning differently, it opens up a whole new way to explain prior challenges and to help them succeed.</p>
<p>	Two excellent books on the subject are Jeffrey Freed&#8217;s &#8220;Right-Brained Children in a Left-Brained World?and Dr. Linda Silverman&#8217;s  &#8220;Upside Down Brilliance?that describes gifted children who learn differently.</p>
<p>3-	If your child skips words or lines when reading, has trouble copying off the board or get headaches when reading, have their eyes checked by a Developmental Optometrist ?go to www.covd.com to find one near you.  There are two routes for improvement</p>
<p>a.	Vision therapy done at the optometrist&#8217;s office<br />
b.	Exercises you can do at home</p>
<p>4-	Address the attention issue.  Some people prefer medication; our bias is to use systems that address it naturally.  We encourage natural solutions to both avoid the side effects and the challenges when the drug wears off ?understand that an hour of physical exercise a day can be an enormous benefit.  We also use the Interactive Metronome ? Brain Gym ?and Centering Exercises to help the student.</p>
<p>5-	Make sure your child gets the accommodations and test taking support they need.  To get an accommodation at a public school for high stakes tests, it must be part of a formal plan done in conjunction with the school ?based on your child&#8217;s disability.  For students with Attention Deficit Disorder, you can get the needed accommodations if your physician assesses the child and determines the ADHD significantly impacts their academic performance.  Students with a combination of learning, attention and vision issues benefit from extra time and a quiet place to take the test.</p>
<p>Extra time is very helpful for students who learn differently</p>
<p>You also want to consider having your child tested by someone who understands the way the test is written and who can teach the test taking strategies that work for them.</p>
<p>We are 3D Learner. We started as very frustrated parents and professionals; then migrated to doing more traditional tutoring; and now see the benefits of a holistic approach that addresses:<br />
1-	Teaching the child the way they learn best<br />
2-	Addressing vision and attention issues<br />
3-	Helping the child with both the right accommodations and test taking skills</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>910<br />
Defensive driving courses are ones that are structured to help individuals learn how to drive safely and drive in accordance with motor vehicle laws.<br />
defensive driving, teen driver, driving education<br />
Defensive driving courses are ones that are structured to help individuals learn how to drive safely and drive in accordance with motor vehicle laws.  This is not a new type of course but one that has gained increasing recognition over the past few years. Some individuals take these courses in the case of a traffic violation where there will be points added to their license if they do not complete a defensive driving course.  Other individuals may take a defensive driving course to get a better rate on their automobile insurance whereas some people take the course simply to better their driving skills and decrease their chances of being involved in a car accident. </p>
<p>Whatever the reason may be for completing a defensive driving course, there is one particular way to complete the course that is highly recommended. That is to take the defensive driving course online.  There are many reasons associated with online defensive driving courses which make taking a course in this manner a very attractive concept.</p>
<p>Convenience</p>
<p>Perhaps the number one reason why individuals take defensive driving courses online is due to the convenience that is associated with taking courses from a home computer connected to the Internet. By taking a defensive driving course via online one can study and &#8220;attend class?whenever it best fits into their schedule. It is also convenient because they are able to complete the course from the comfort of their own home and there is no need to sit in traffic on the way to and from a course center. The convenience aspect is an extremely desirable one especially in today&#8217;s busy world.</p>
<p>Easy to Concentrate</p>
<p>Another reason to take a defensive driving course online is for the sheer fact that many find it easier to concentrate in a quiet environment than in a crowded classroom with a number of other individuals present. Some people find it easier to think when they are completing a course in the privacy of their own home where others will not be around to distract them.</p>
<p>Structured Course Format</p>
<p>An additional benefit to taking a defensive driving course online is that online courses of this type are ones that have a structured format to them. As courses that are taught by an instructor may sometimes be a bit garbled and unfocused, depending on the teacher, it may be harder to follow that type of instruction. With online courses, one will most likely receive a structured outline of the course and it may be much easier to follow along with an online course for defensive driving than other types of courses.</p>
<p>Reviewable Format</p>
<p>Another great reason to take part in a defensive driving course online is because the course format is more likely to be reviewable than if an individual were taking the course in a structured classroom setting. How many times has one been in a classroom where the instructor talks a mile a minute and taking notes as fast as the individual is talking is impossible? If the answer to this is in the affirmative, then taking advantage of a defensive driving course online may be highly advisable.  One does not have to move on to the next section until they completely understand the current section which they are working on.</p>
<p>Online Testing Methods</p>
<p>Many of these online defensive driving courses will not only provide coursework for the individuals to partake in but an online test at the end of the course as well. These tests are often required in order to receive the official completion certificate.  Requiring individuals to pass the test is a way to show that the coursework was completed and a lesson was learned as a result of engaging in the course.  Many of these tests provided by online defensive driving courses are multiple choice and some will even allow a retest should it be necessary for the individual to successfully complete the course and receive a completion certificate.</p>
<p>Delivery of Completion Certificates</p>
<p>Some states will require that individuals who embark on these types of defensive driving courses hand in their completed certificate in person at the governmental office or insurance company, whichever entity it may be that needs evidence of certification.  Once an individual completes a defensive driving course online, they will be presented with a completion certificate showing that the particular course has been successfully completed.  This is extremely beneficial for those individuals who have to turn in their certificates of completion to governmental agencies or insurance companies.  They are presented with concrete evidence which shows that the course was completed.</p>
<p>Additional Tip</p>
<p>An important thing to keep in mind is to always check with the appropriate governmental entity or insurance company if one is interested in taking an online defensive driving course in order to satisfy a requirement. As some entities may require certain types of defensive driving courses to be completed, it is also important to look into that matter before embarking on a particular defensive driving course route.</p>
<p>Online defensive driving courses are wonderful ways in which to learn how to operate a motor vehicle as safely as possible and at times also learn about certain motor vehicle laws which may affect the driver.  Whether one is looking to meet court ordered requirements, obtain a lower automobile insurance rate or simply improve their defensive driving skills, taking an online course in order to do so may be the best bet for those particular individuals.</p>

Build arm muscle is one of the most common goals of aspiring bodybuilders. There is no shortage of advice, either in books or on the internet, telling you how to do this. Here in this article, we will show you how to genuinely build arm muscle.</p>
<p>Tip 1<br />
Train sensibly. Many people who are trying to build arm muscle make the mistake of over training. It is easily done, as the arms are used in so many different bodybuilding disciplines. One good way of ensuring you don&#8217;t over stress your arms is to leave them until the very end of your workout routine. </p>
<p>Tip 2<br />
If you want to build arm muscle effectively, you will want every single rep you perform to be as effective as possible. The goal is to get as many  muscle fibers involved as you can. If you can bring as many muscle fibers as you can into play, you will not only develop stronger muscles, they will be more even and have a better tone.</p>
<p>Tip 3<br />
The correct extension of the weight is critical, but control is equally important, throughout the whole of the lift. The strongest determining factor here is the weight itself, so don&#8217;t defeat yourself by using a weight which is too heavy. In order to make your exercises as effective as you can, make sure the lift is executed as quickly as possible, while you still have the weight under control. As you release the weight, try to do so as slowly as comfortably possible. If you can make this downward phase take at least two seconds, you will be burning a lot more fat.</p>
<p>Tip 4<br />
One point which is often overlooked by beginning arm muscle builders is that there is more than one group of muscles, and you need to work them in a balanced way to achieve optimum results. So many bodybuilders who have not taken enough time to learn the craft properly concentrate solely on biceps, which will lead to an unnatural and uneven development, and may even lead to injury. Make sure you learn how to develop your triceps in harmony with your biceps, for optimum results. Don&#8217;t risk the pain of a torn ligament!</p>
<p>If you have been struggling to gain results from your arm muscle exercises, take the advice of this article on board, and start seeing some real benefits. Check out the links below to discover some more valuable resources.</p>

The god has created this wonderful universe. In this universe he/she has sent human to live. In human he/she has inserted an organ named brain. The brain generates ideas, these come from knowledge and finally knowledge can be gather only and only by education. Thus education is a basic fundamental need of human to live natural life.<br />

My right: Universal elementary education<br />
                     A plight on Indian universal elementary education system</p>
<p>The god has created this wonderful universe. In this universe he/she has sent human to live. In human he/she has inserted an organ named brain. The brain generates ideas, these come from knowledge and finally knowledge can be gather only and only by education. Thus education is a basic fundamental need of human to live natural life.<br />
In future, India is going to be largest population hub of world. Are we providing our new born brains that knowledge which they deserve? &#8220;My Right?deals with this aspect of future&#8217;s India. Right to education has become fundamental right in Indian statues books in 2002, as once Indian parliament had given its approval to 86th constitutional amendment in 2002 under article 21A of constitution. According to this every Indian child 6-14 year of age has fundamental right to free and compulsory education. Additional to this government of India has introduced a bill called &#8220;Right to education bill 2005? which deal with early age child care and education for all children until they acquired the age of six. It also says that, it is the fundamental duty of every Indian parent to provide equal opportunities to his/her children of age of 6-14years to get education.<br />
                 Please look into this for my sake.<br />
Population         <br />
(6-14years)	226204139<br />
Below poverty line<br />
Population(6-14 years)	56573568<br />
  (25%)<br />
Total of students<br />
(primary)	149400000<br />
Number of schools<br />
(primary)	664041<br />
Number of teachers<br />
(primary)	2900000<br />
Teacher/students ratio	40/teacher <br />
Children not able to attend <br />
the school (primary)	76804139<br />
(33.9%)<br />
%of girls out of school	39%<br />
Expenditure on education	4.02% GDP<br />
                             Source: census 2001&amp;: UNICEF statistical year book</p>
<p>                          What are the reasons behind this all?<br />
1.	25% of Indian population still live below poverty line means &lt;one dolor/day. (appox. 26 cores people). For them food is theirs first priority, out of total 226204139 population (6-14 year age group) 56573568 are from below poverty line families. To keep them with studies needs extra motivated approach, which missing today in national education system.<br />
2.	The low adoption of modern education system by Muslims.<br />
India is a multi religions nation.<br />
                a) % of religion based population <br />
                  b) %of illiteracy among 6-14year <br />
 Above facts clearly tell the whole tale itself. 30.8% of my Muslim friends are remaining illiterate in target age for universal elementary education campaign (6-14 year). This is highest among all religious population in India. It is largely because, Muslims prefer theirs religious education over modern education.<br />
3.	Gender bias ness.<br />
The Indian society is fully male dominant. The gender equation always tilts towards male section of society, decline sex ratio; numbers of women in different parts of society to government position is clear cut message of bias ness towards women in my part of world. This is also a hurdle in making my school/class fully humane. (Where every child of age 6-14 year can attend it <br />
without any consideration of caste, creed, religion and gender).Please go through it. After making every girl child into school/class room, then and only than we can see education for all in real sense.</p>
<p>	primary school <br />
enrollment rate	Primary completion<br />
 rates	Youth illiteracy Rate (% of people aged 15-24)<br />
Male	<br />
91 <br />
85 <br />
20.3<br />
 Female	<br />
76	<br />
69 <br />
35.2<br />
      Source: world Bank<br />
4.	Urban based education system.<br />
Education system of India is urban centric, Every financial capable Indian parent want to send theirs kids to these urban schooling, so big gap has been created in favors of urban because all good schools, educational institutions and universities are based in urban areas.<br />
                        Who is caring for me? <br />
The education in India is subject of all and none to responsibility. As per Indian constitution education fall in concurrent list, which mean federal and state governments has its say on this all important subject of human development. Following are my care takers.<br />
 1. Federal government.<br />
 2. State government.<br />
 3. International agencies (united nations)<br />
 4. Private sectors.<br />
                            What are being done for my sake?<br />
1.	Sarv shiksha abhiyan(Indian universal elementary education campaign)<br />
2.	Mid day meal programme(food for education launched in 1995 and revised in 2004)<br />
3.	District Primary Education Programme (launched in November, 1994 to overhauling the primary education system in India)<br />
4.	Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (Setting up unto 750 residential schools with boarding facilities at elementary level for girls belonging predominantly to the SC, ST, OBC and minorities in difficult areas.)<br />
5.	Programme of Mobilizing Local Support to Primary Schools (PLUS)(launched in 2004 to get additional local resources by local  support.)<br />
6.	86th constitutional amendment in 2002 under article 21A of constitution. (every Indian child 6-14year of age has fundamental right to free and compulsory education)<br />
7.	Right to education bill 2005. (Early age child care and education for all children until they acquired the age of six.)<br />
                              What I require?<br />
 As above stated programmes and schemes are being run by different federal and state governments agencies for me but still I am not able to reach school yet. So to get me enroll in school, I require following.<br />
1.	One teacher for 15 students</p>
<p>Students/teacher ratio Source: UNESCO<br />
Above pictorial facts show that developed nations has always less Students/teacher ratio as compare to developing side, but some developing nations has achieved shoulder to shoulder with developed ones like China, Iraq etc. As identical to China, I require one teacher for 19 students of my class.<br />
2.	One School in one kilometer radius.<br />
India has 2973190sq.km Land area. AS one school with in one kilo meter radius need approximately 2000000 primary schools, where as only 664041 schools are for me. This clearly means 1335959 more schools I require to get my education near to my home.<br />
3.	Free education for all<br />
As per 86th constitutional amendment has ensured me free and compulsory education (6-14year age). But in practical rural India and some urban, it is too implemented in true sprit.<br />
4.	Common education system across India.<br />
As in India education is subject for all but responsibility of none, because there is not a uniform education system in nation. This has made me more vulnerable when I have to move around nation in my 6-14 year&#8217;s child hood. So I need a common education system across the nation to make me easy at every part of country as same.<br />
5.	Education in my mother tongue<br />
       Language is the first barrier which a child has to face in his/her school entrance in India. If it is removed than I may really not fear to attend my school as I do now. Which in latter becomes substantial reason of my drop out from schools.<br />
                           Where lay my future? <br />
My future is lying in your hands. The world fraternity has pledged in April 2000 at Dakar (Senegal), education for all unto 2015 A.D. Where as my Indian education planners has set 2010A.D for me to be in school/class room. Last not the least is my humble request to all who are concerned with this mission &#8220;education for all?that kindly look into above plight, so that my right for universal elementary education will be available to my every brethren and sisters at the time of theirs birth.<br />
                                                                                Plighted by <br />
                                                                         An Indian child of 1967<br />

How to build muscle fast is the most fundamental question asked by new bodybuilders. In a society where everything has to be done yesterday, people are always expecting fast results. Here in this article you will learn  how to build muscle fast for yourself<br />
build muscle, big arm muscles, how to build muscle fast<br />
How to build muscle fast is the most fundamental question asked by new bodybuilders. In a society where everything has to be done yesterday, people are always expecting fast results. Here in this article you will learn  how to build muscle fast for yourself</p>
<p>Step 1<br />
Probably the most important step in learning how to build muscle fast is to keep an accurate record of what you are doing, and the effect it is having. Building your muscles fast needs your workouts to be as effective as possible, so you need to keep accurate records, either in a written diary, or on an electronic system. When you are getting results from a weight training program, you should be increasing the amount of weight you are lifting fairly regularly. If you aren&#8217;t, you aren&#8217;t getting optimum results.</p>
<p>Tip 2<br />
Be diligent in working with each muscle group in turn. If you go through three or four sets, making sure the weight gets greater each time. This will show you one of the most important lessons in learning how to build muscle fast. When you have reached the fourth set, you should have already set up enough of a strain on your muscles for them to be stimulated to grow. Just keep following your basic routine, but make sure the weights get heavier as you continue to progress.</p>
<p>Tip 3<br />
Keep the length of workouts down. It is so tempting to fall into the trap of thinking that more time necessarily means greater results. Do the same amount of work in less time, by taking shorter rest periods, and you will see greater results from you efforts. This is due to the vast increase in intensity levels. Learning how to build muscles fast can actually save you time.</p>
<p>Tip 4<br />
Have a small rep count. The limit really should be set at 6 or 8 reps, as once you go beyond this, you are working the slow twitch muscle fibers. This is not that useful to bodybuilders, as these are muscles which do not really grow. Long distance athletes who are more concerned with strength than bulk are the ones who benefit from this kind of training. Bodybuilders need to be lifting heavy weights for a short rep count.</p>
<p>These are the fundamental starting points in learning how to build muscle fast.</p>
