A unique tradition that is beautiful from my opinion
Bathroom Ban of Tidong
There is a tradition in Tidong where people don’t allow their newly wedded bride and groom to urinate, to poop and to bath for 3 days and 3 nights after the completion of their wedding ceremony. It is believed that this will make their marriage life happier in future. Tidong people provide very small quantity of food and water during the bathroom ban period.
a film that I think is available for all people, from kids to grown-peoples that want to get rich quickly!
The Million Dollar Kid (2000)
The good news is that the Hunter family just won a 50 million dollar lottery prize. The bad news is they lost the ticket in the middle of Los Angeles–and have only four hours to find it and claim their prize in this fast paced action-comedy from the writer and director of “Arthurs Quest.”
Motivation and ambition are the strengths in becoming a wealthy man, but first of all they have to want exactly what we want, look how high, how high we want to go.
A book that I think is 50% truth and 50% motivation
Why We Want You To Be Rich: Two Men, One Message
Rich Dad, Poor Dad author and motivational speaker Robert T. Kiyosaki and celebrity rich man Donald J. Trump join forces to come to the aid of America’s shrinking middle class. These thriving multimillionaires give advice designed to help average readers expand their wealth in the harsh economy. Firm steps towards financial literacy.
From book cover:
The world is facing many challenges and one of them is financial. The entitlement mentality is epidemic, creating people who expect their countries, employers, or families to take care of them. Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, both successful businessmen, are natural teachers and have joined forces to address these challenges. They believe you cannot solve money problems with money. You can only solve money problems with financial education. Trump and Kiyosaki want to teach you to be rich.
“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
Teach him to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”
They each could have written a book on the subject, but they chose instead to write a book together because of their shared passion for education and their desire to bring emphasis to the importance of financial education. In addition they have designated a portion of the profits from each book to be donated to charitable and educational organizations that also support financial education.
Free advertising because I read the books of Mr. kyosaky and has really right in what he says in them, and I watched movies about tycoon Trump who is a serious man and this book I want to read it as soon as possible, in romania.
Europe’s most remarkable private luxury car collection up in $40M auction available
Like most of this bucolic area that lies within Mols Bjerge National Park, large sloping fields of waist-high grass are interrupted by thick pockets of mature chestnut and fir forest.
A fresh breeze blows off the sea and with more than three-quarters of the day bathed in warm light, the feeling in this gently hilled country is one of calm and plenty. It’s here, at Lyngsbækgård Manor — the seat of the estate — where an important collection of motorcars is housed.
Built in the 16th century by the Danish Royal Crown, Lyngsbækgård Manor became the summer home of the King of Denmark. Today — and for the past many years — it’s the full time residence of Henrik Frederiksen.
For one of Denmark’s wealthiest men, who has the means to live anywhere in the world, calling Lyngsbækgård home is a testament, not just to the beauty of the property, but to the surrounding area.
“This area is a paradise,” says Frederiksen with a smile. “It’s quiet, beautiful, lots of space. It’s all very special.”
Some time ago Frederiksen and his late wife Vivi hired a team of 35 workers, who toiled every day for three years to restore the Lyngsbækgård Manor and its buildings to their original splendor.
Today it’s a sight to behold. Not opulent or ostentatious but reflecting tasteful Scandinavian restraint that imparts a cheerful, regal appearance. The manor house is flanked on three sides by what is the largest thatched roof structure in Denmark.
These connected timber-framed buildings were originally the stables, granaries and workrooms of the estate and today accommodate Frederiksen’s magnificent collection of nearly 50 automobiles.
A passion shared
Collected piece by piece over the years by Mr. and Mrs. Frederiksen, the car collection is the result of what was very much a mutual passion. Consisting primarily of pre-World War II cars — with the majority hailing from Great Britain, America and Germany — the Frederiksen automobiles all have the distinction of being in running condition.
Not mere static displays, these incredible machines — ranging from a 1905 Woods Electric Motor Vehicle to a 1973 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI Convertible– adhere to their manufacturer’s original design: to run. It’s quite an impressive feat when one considers the antiquity, variety, uniqueness and sometimes temperamental nature of these old motorcars.
“We bought with our hearts, not with our brains,” says Frederiksen. “We looked for the very best examples and made no compromises.” As a result, many models represent some of the finest examples of their kind anywhere in the world, several of which have won top prizes at the world’s most prestigious events, like the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Carmel in California and the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, Italy.
The Golden Age of motoring
With marques such as Bentley, Cadillac, Duesenberg, Maybach, Mercedes-Benz, Pierce-Arrow and Rolls-Royce, the grandest names from the Golden Age of motoring are represented.
When asked why the focus of the collection is on cars made prior to the Second World War he says, “It was a time before mass production, at least for higher quality cars. You can see the hand of the craftsman, you can see the details, the beauty of each component. Each one is a work of art and each has a story to tell. It’s the polar opposite of cars today.”
Take for instance the Rolls-Royce 40/50 Silver Ghost, which was produced from 1907 to 1926. At a time when cars were either powerful or polished, nimble or sturdy, fast or comfortable, the Silver Ghost was all of that and more.
It was simply the best car money could buy and, as a result, became the preferred automobile of British and Indian royalty. In fact, luxury notwithstanding, the reliability of the Silver Ghost is attested to by one that resides within the corporate collection of the Rolls-Royce Motor Company and has over half a million miles on it (more than 800,000 km) and still runs strong.
Although Frederiksen has five Silver Ghosts, each of varying models, it is perhaps the 1914 Boat Tail model by Schebera Coachbuilders that attracts most attention. With its sculpted wood body reminiscent of a boat, and its sporty, convertible open top, this extremely rare and charismatic motorcar is the ultimate icon of the Silver Ghost legacy.
Although Frederiksen can’t decide on his favorite (“It depends on my mood,”) he does say that “Vivi’s favorite car was probably the Maybach,” pointing specifically to the 1937 Maybach SW38 Zeppelin Special Roadster since there are two German-made Maybachs in the collection. When asked why, he says, “Because it’s perfect.”
We take the Maybach out onto a country lane near the manor and find that this enormous car doesn’t feel or act half as heavy as it looks, owing to its monstrous and beautiful V-12 engine.
Not only that, but, incredibly, the Maybach uses an early form of paddle shift on the steering wheel — a technology typically associated with Ferrari from the 1990s. As we cruise along smoothly with the top down through the green Danish countryside, I’m astounded by how advanced this car was for its time and reminded of what Frederiksen said about why he loves these automobiles so much: “To be able to drive such a thing of beauty is a wonderful experience.”
While the Maybach is extremely impressive, as is the Duesenberg Model J, the Hispano-Suiza H6C, the Isotta-Fraschini 8A, the Lagonda LG6 Rapide, and on and on, it’s the 1914 Mercedes 28-95 Phaeton that strikes my attention most. What may seem relatively unremarkable among such an eye-watering assembly could be the most unique car of all for one simple reason: it’s completely original.
Unrestored and showing all the patina of a priceless antique, the wooden body, wooden wheel spokes, canvas covered top, brass fixtures, hammered metal light buckets, even the original Louis Vuitton leather trunk, appear in a time warp condition. And it runs, of course. “This came out of Uruguay,” says Frederiksen with a grin. “It’s very special, isn’t it?
Vivi passed away just this spring and now Frederiksen has decided to sell their beloved collection. Looking around, admiring the four dozen examples of functional artwork that have all been brought out into the courtyard for my visit, the question naturally arises, why?
“I’ve never sold a car before. But this was something Vivi and I did together,” say Frederiksen. “With her gone, well, it’s time to close this door and open a new one. It’s time for these cars to find new homes.”
Mr. Frederiksen has appointed Bonhams auction house to exclusively represent the collection at sale. Scheduled for Saturday 26 September, the auction will take place on site at Lyngsbækgård Manor.
All of us who want to be millionaires to have to, however, are only possible if we believe in ourselves and have the power to bestow.
2011 Geneva: BMW Vision ConnectedDrive – World Premiere
Today, at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, BMW
unveiled their latest and most exciting concept: Vision ConnectedDrive. Similar to the previous Vision Concept, EfficientDynamics, the latest design study from BMW showcases futuristic design lines that make use of the layering approach initiated with the first Vision Concept. The two-seater roadster features typical lines: long bonnet, short overhangs and strong, bold front-end.
As a two-seater roadster charged with emotion, the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive is a particularly dynamic, purist interpretation of the characteristic BMW language of form: the long bonnet, the long wheelbase and the passenger compartment set well back seem to accelerate the vehicle even at a standstill.

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster rendered
The Lamborghini Aventador just made its debut a couple of days ago and already artists are at work rendering a different version of the sports coupe. What we’re looking at is an Aventador roadster version, and we like what we see. Don’t get too excited though; an actual production roadster version isn’t expected until 2014.
The Aventador Roadster will look similar to the coupe version, except that the engine cover and roofline will be adapted to fit the roadster style. This rendering shows it in a silky, pearly bright-white finish with a two-tone black/white leather interior, making it look absolutely stunning.
The Aventador is powered by a new 6.5-liter V12 engine with an AWD layout that produces 700 horsepower and 479 lb/ft of torque. This engine hits 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds while blasting off a top speed of 217 mph and a redline of 8,250 RPM. With a total weight of 1575 Kg, it will deliver a power to weight ratio of 2.25 Kg/hp.
