What do you do when you want to balance your check book? Whip out the good old calculator right? Well, have you ever wondered how people in the olden days added sums? Well, they used what we now know as adding machines. If you’ve been to any of the older mom and pop stores, you might have noticed a quaint contraption that looks like a cross between an old conductor’s ticket maker and a really big calculator. This is nothing but an adding machine. Simply put, an adding machine adds numbers. While you can use this sort of an adding machine to add and subtract, it did little else. In fact, these adding machines were the predecessor of the calculator that we use nowadays.

Adding machines have been around for centuries, if not millennia. Nearly all f the older civilizations had some sort of an adding machine. Probably the oldest adding machine known to man was the abacus - an ancient Chinese invention that is still used in some countries to this day. This was a very basic adding machine, but a skilled user could use it to do a wide variety of arithmetic calculations including subtraction, multiplication and even division. Some practitioners of the abacus have also shown great versatility in being able to do complex functions with it as well. But the western world would not learn of this specialized adding machine till much later.

A far as the west was concerned, the first adding machines in the strict sense of the term came into being sometime around the 17th century. If some really old relative of yours trained to be an engineer, chances are you might find a slide rule lying around your house. This too was an adding machine. Although it does not look anything like the calculator we use nowadays, it is capable of doing nearly everything that a calculator can do. And more! However, learning to use a slide rule or similar adding machines is a tricky affair. Most new users are bound to make errors. And unless you are really good at using it, your data will be full of mistakes.

Historically, a Wilhelm Schickard is credited with being the first man in the west to come up with a full working model of an adding machine. But we don’t have access to his adding machine as it was reportedly destroyed in a fire. But then came along Blaise Pascal and he used most of the principles of Schickard’s adding machine to produce an adding machine of his own. It is claimed that he had no knowledge of Schickard’s machine. But the end result was remarkably similar. Pascal called his adding machine the addometer. And this remains the first available adding machine known to people all over the world.

There were several other adding machines that evolved from Pascal’s addometer. There were adding machines based on the slide rule, there were adding machines based on dials and there were also adding machines that used a combination of chains to produce their results. Nearly all of them were based on Pascal’s invention and we can conclude that Blaise Pascal was the man who made adding machines popular in the west.

The modern groom can have a considerable say in how his wedding will be orchestrated, from deciding on the flavor of the cake to chiming in on suggestions for the location to helping with the flowers. This isn’t always the case of course; some grooms elect to allow their brides and their families to run the show, while others are elbowed out of the process by controlling fianc

New parents are often wondering how much clothing they will need for a newborn baby. Here is a practical list of the things a new parent will need, and how much. First, baby clothing is very simple. Parents really should not spend money on lots of little outfits with many accessories like shoes or vests. Parents should be practical when choosing baby clothing. Fancy outfits are not needed on a daily basis, so a few that come in gifts will most likely be enough.

Start with onesies. They are little undershirts with snaps at the bottom. Onesies are very practical because they can be worn alone with a diaper, or layered under clothing to keep the baby warm. Babies can also sleep in them, or wear them under sleepers. It’s good to have a supply of onesies in a variety of sizes and colors, since babies grow very quickly, and will need baby clothing to fit after the first few months. Parents will find it useful to have at least 6 onesies in each of the first 3 sizes: 3-6 months, 6-9 months and 12 months. White are popular, but they come in cute patterns and colors too.

Cloth diapers, while they are not baby clothing in this case, are essential for little cleanups. Babies often spit-up after eating. Cloth diapers are very absorbent, and easy to clean. It is convenient to have about 10 of them. They are good to lay over the person holding the baby’s shoulder to protect clothing from getting soiled. Some parents will want to use cloth diapers as diapers, but be sure to get the newer kind with Velcro or snaps for this purpose. Get the other kind for those non-baby clothing uses.

Shoes will not be needed for a new baby. Babies don’t need shoes until they start to walk.

Sleepers are very handy. A sleeper is a kind of baby clothing that is one piece from head to toe, often with zippers or snaps. They are commonly made of terrycloth and are soft and comfy. Babies can wear them daytime or for sleeping. Like onesies, they need to be in a variety of sizes as babies will wear them often for the first year. Have at least 6 on hand, in each of the first three sizes. Babies tend to kick a lot! If a baby is having trouble keeping his feet in the little footsies of the sleeper, put socks over the feet and they will hold the baby’s feet in there.

Hats are also important, for keeping the baby’s head warm whenever he is outside. Heat gets lost rapidly through the head, so be sure to have 3-4 hats that fit snugly on the baby’s head.

Socks are also going to come in handy, as mentioned above. Four pairs should be enough to start with.

Don’t go overboard when purchasing baby clothes. It will be smarter to save your money for diapers and other accessories. Good luck with your bundle of joy!

Anyone who has spent time building a business should take time maintaining his relationship with his clients. There are many situations that may leave a business owner wondering which client gifts are appropriate, if any at all. The dilemma is relevant for employees who provide services through an agency as well.

In order to maintain friendly, but professional boundaries it is good practice to think about what is and what is not appropriate when choosing client gifts. The first thing to consider is how well you know your customers. For example, you may think that the bottles of wine that you bought are the perfect thank-you presents, but these client gifts are not for everyone. Your customer may not drink and he may not enjoy the token.

Another thing to consider is the customer’s background. Not everyone celebrates the same holiday and some may not appreciate receiving client gifts for holidays they do not recognize. If you are not sure whether or not your associates celebrate a certain holiday, try sending client gifts that are non-specific and appropriate for several occasions.

I worked for an agency that provides services to families who have autistic children. Since the child is the actual consumer, I had to be extra careful not to overstep professional boundaries by buying expensive client gifts for the children I worked with. This was especially difficult when working with needy families who could really use nice presents for their children. As a rule, it is best to keep client gifts under ten dollars in these situations.

Some customers are difficult to please and you may not find any present that they will enjoy. My sister bought an optical illusion puzzle for one of her customers. The person who received the gift called my sister and asked if she thought that he had the time to waste on puzzles. He interpreted the gift as an insinuation that he wastes time and does no real work. Although she still conducts business with him, she keeps the client gifts very ordinary when dealing with him.

Just about every business has a secretary. If I have a relationship with a business, I always make sure to include the secretary in the client gifts because she is one of the most important contact people in the company. It is good practice to send a greeting card or flowers on Secretary’s Day. The receptionist is the bridge between you and your customer.

In summary, make sure that you know your client before buying presents. Keep it clean and simple and keep it professional. Even if you are able to have a comfortable lunch with a customer and even if you can exchange a few jokes, the nature of your relationship is business. This should be reflected in the kind of client gifts you choose.
