Comment on Did Alexander really defeat Indian Porus? by Thinker

Thinker — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 10:27:01 +0000

Right!!!So Alexander lost from Porus.Then how is possible for a defeated army to continue his expedition through India?Common military sense says that if Porus was the victor,he would have chased Alexander until annihilation.On the other hand it is logical that Alexander would have treated Porus kindly,because he needed a stronger ally than the king of Taxila.Moreover if Alexander had lost,he wouldn’t have founded neither Alexandria Bucephalous nor a new satrapy.Because of these,archaeologists find nowdays greek antiquities at the lands of Pakistan.

To me, if there is no real evidence that Alexander had lost or own than why our education system taught whole of India that Puru lost to Alexander. It is English slavery or western slavery ? If Hollywood researchers have not came to any conclusion, than why Indian Government Indian scholars are so much eager to mention in our history books that Alexander had won. Now; Who is Alexander ? What is his contribution to Humanity, to Human Civilization ? To human happiness and human prosperity. Why we write great before his name. He was only a bloody blind killer and nothing else. In India we never write great before anyone. Not even the man of Gandhi’s stature; Goutam the Buddha’s stature. Than why before that killer. Is it not slavery to the western scholar. What they write, write right. So just stop all this nonsense for the time being. Let the truth revealed. And till that we all Indians should forget the battle of Jhelum. But don’t say any youngster a incomplete truth and a complete lie. The blind Government and the blind scholars should now open there eyes. Stop teaching Lies.

alexander won the battle of hydaspes, he quit the campaign because of mutiny among his soldier, long expedition, he lost many men and generals.It would be easier for Alexander to appoint Porus as his governor in india to govern peacefully. Indian were not less educated then the greek (macedonian), indian scholars also studied mathematic, astrology etc. at that time.
the reason for the victory of alexander was the military tactics, macedonian heavy armoured soldiers (the phalanx) while indian were light infantry with war elephants.

during that time indian were not less educated than the greeks or macedonians or egyptians etc. indian also already studied astronomy, mathematic etc. like other civilized kingdom at that time. and what happen to some 21th century developed super power countries at that time they might be still living in their caves. The only reason Porus was defeated was that the macedoian were heavy armoured and used advanced military tactics (the phalanx) and moreover it was commanded by Alexander. Althought Porus lose i’m proud of it because Porus was one of one to resist powerful foreign invaders while many other kingdoms surrender out of fear, even Alexander admired Porus’s bravery. I’m proud to be indian anyway

Battle of Hydaspes was the battle which Alexander almost lost it, his horse was killed and again he was wounded the main reasons for quitting the conquest was the mutiny among his army because of longtime of military campaign almost 11years and again to face Nanda empire, he had lost many generals and men and revolts throughout his empire, the greeks historians will certainly mention about his lose if he was defeated by Puru, greek historians always mentions truth even if they are ashamed of like they mentions that alexander and achilles were gay, and alexander ruthless guy who used to kill his general and wrong things he had done. Although rutless he is often respect his enemy like he look after the family of Darius after he defeats him. So, after all it would be the easiest to appoint the defeated king as his sartaps to avoid revolts in his new kingdoms and it would be even easier for him to maintain his vast empire. So, Puru’s barvery would impressed & led Alexander give back his kingdom.

well a young king with good amount of power in his hand and a large army behind his horse, who had conquered half of the world within a short period of time, who owned the most ferocious army of that time all of sudden says that my men are crying for there wives and they cant live without them i have to leave my conquest for this reason simply doesn’t make any sense. there is smthing missing.

and ALI greeks leaned mathematics from this land our culture have text(written text) much old then 10000 years old, do a little research and tell me what or where were greeks at that time. the vedic culture is oldest and most educated culture of all time from astrology to nuclear science every thing was here. NASA SAY” after testing the bones of harappan people we found 50 times of radioactivity more then Hiroshima n Nagasaki. can u imagine how strong must had been those blasts.

more then 70000 year old civilization is found at the basin of river saraswati. yes 70,000.

the gold city of dwarka which was considered as myth is no longer hidden.

so plz dont consider the vedic culture illiterate. maharishi Markandeya have written about the concept of peace more then 5500 years back when rest of the world was busy shedding blood.

sanskrit is cosidered the mother language of all the languages

and aristotle the teacher of alexandre himself learned math in this land, Pythagoras theoram was already present in our text they leanred it from this land and taught the rest of the world.

So in the end, Alexander could have won and he could have lost. You can make an argument for both but it doesn’t mean one isn’t stronger than the other. But just because he had to turn back doesn’t mean he lost the battle. It could have easily just been that he lost to much in the battle that he was left weak and had to turn back. He still had other territories to control.

I would also like to note that from a personal standpoint, I am not Greek nor Indian/Pakistan so I can care less from an emotion side of it to stick up for one side of it for bias purpose.

It doesn’t matter how much money you gain if you don’t have a strong army left. HIs army was Fatigued both Mentally and Physically and now depleted in numbers. His army would also have to spend money on new weapons since they were already destroyed from the weather (which they couldn’t prepare for). As well as restocking fresh “qualified” men.

And Alexander wanted to go on because he was going to bring in new men but his “Old Guard” soldiers wouldn’t allow it. They were the backbone of his army even though they were being depleted and replaced through the years. If they revolted, no matter what, he would now become a true outsider. Someone who turned his back. Which in that case, he would have had a revolt in Macedon and Greece as well as his field commanders who were from his clan. And that would not be good because there is no replacing them. A lot of these men were “great” in their own right. Went on to be “Kings” themselves after he died.

THERE IS NO REPLACING QUALIFIED LOYAL SOLDIERS NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PAY NEW ONES. Alexander new this. Money is great but not greater than “Family/Love/Loyalty.” Macedonians were a “Clan.” They won years of war because they refused to retreat despite the odds. You can’t replace “EXPERIENCE.”

Arius — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 06:20:08 +0000

Alexander’s Historians may have wanted to save face but not the “Greeks.” The Greeks at the time weren’t really on board with him. They was still a feeling of “occupation” that the Athenians felt from Alexander and his Macedonian forces. When he died, for example, I read some say they cheered his death or were at least relieved.
Being “Macedonian,” He wasn’t quite “Greek” to them. And they didn’t approve of his behavior. Some Greeks even fought against him when he invaded Persia.

If the Greeks can kill off Hercules, they can certainly kill off Alexander. And the “real story” of Hercules isn’t so kind. It’s not so “Hollywood.” And that’s very important to this story.

Arius — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 06:13:53 +0000

It does make sense and I replied with an answer why in my very first reply.

NEVER confuse what you feel with what a “leader” would do. Someone who separates emotion from what needs to be done. That’s what a great leader does.

Only when you have a “bad” King/Leader in power do you overthrow him. Weakness is not to be tolerated. And there were plenty of those. But if you come across a King that is on your level, you can either kill him or make him your ally. And in this case, since Alexander would have continued to have problems controlling the land had he put his own General(s) in charge, which would also spread him thin, he wanted a reliable “Great” Ally who could also possibly help him.

It’s also a great tactic to keep control of the land because it shows the people that you are willing to “join” forces rather than destroy everybody. Which is what Alexander’s intentions were about…”To Unite The World of all Races.”
He did this in Persia. And he was kind to the Royal Family. Yes, the King was dead but that was not from his doing. But in that case it would not have mattered because the Persian king was no longer respected by Alexander after his actions during battle (and after). Much different than Porus who stood his ground.

Arius — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 06:06:27 +0000

The battle with Porus was a true hell of a War. Since I mentioned boxing already, think of it like Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier (III)
September 30, 1975
Manila, Philippines… since that was a popular fight between two great warriors that nearly killed each other and basically finished off what “greatness” was left of them.

As far as evidence: This is true as well. Which is also why it would be great for Pakistan to allow studies/archaeologist excavation to be done on the land.

My point with the Greeks, the “Athenians,” is that they love a good ending. A tragic ending. I think they would have loved more to see Alexander completely defeated than just to note that he was depleted from long wars but not utterly defeated…like Napoleon was after Russia.

Comment on Did Alexander really defeat Indian Porus? by Arius

Arius — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 05:56:06 +0000

Alexander turned back because his army was depleted from years of war. His battle(s) in India really took its toll. The Environment alone was hard to get used to. His men grew tired and were sick and dying from illness. So once your army starts to deplete, even an egotistical general like Alexander will have to turn back.
He is not only trying to win land in this new territory, but he still has to stay strong for lands he already won…like in Persia. Because if word gets out that you are weak, revolt happens…which did while he was away.

Forget the Hollywood movie. Books are better. Alexander was injured while fighting a tribe but the story does go on to say that Alexander’s men won the battle after seeing their Leader fall. It was a rallying cry for them to basically kick ass at all cost.
At this point they were already fatigued Mentally and Physically from War but at this moment, they won the battle on sheer guts because of their leader had fallen.

Why? Well for one, they respected him and even loved him despite the love/hate relationship. And two, without Alexander (alive), many thought they could never get back home in one piece.

Alexander’s injuries took its toll. And because of it, his Army demanded to turn back because their leader could no longer do what was needed to go on to something even more dangerous.

Alexander agreed because he had little choice. It would also allow him to heal up and plan his next invasion.

All that Said:
Now could he have lost? Sure. It wouldn’t have been the first time somebody tried to cover up a loss. Even Napoleon tried it. Although history noted the cover-up. So although Alexander was even further back in history, I doubt he could have gotten away with it either considering many even back in Greece/Athens, would have loved to expose the truth so they could get rid of him.
He wasn’t actually liked in Athens since he was considered kind of an “invader” himself being “Macedonian.” Not to say he wasn’t himself “Greek,” but not quite an “Civilized” stuck-up “Athenian” either.

As for the Ancient Indians….they were very bright and their military was very advanced…both in tactics and weaponry. So again, do not look at the Hollywood movie but actual history. Even many smaller tribes were highly skilled warriors.

we can say that it was like during world war !! hitler was an savage bcoz he killed several thousands but at the same time americans r angels although they slayed equal no. by just dropping two bombs.

Comment on What is Dark Matter? – Science Concept of the day! by santosh

santosh — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 07:12:51 +0000

In the Core of the Earth and other heavy bodies, matter gets attracted from all sides. Gravitational forces will be from all sides at the center of the earth causes breakup of nucleus of atoms at the core. When this force exceeds the strength of the force holding the atom/ nucleus of the atom, the atom will break releasing lot of heat energy and will form a different form of material with much heavier density.
this is called black matter / black hole
material what we see in day today life is porous, electron, proton and neutron occupies a fraction of space for an atom.
but in the core of earth it changes and these spaces disappears to form heavy material.

As I have read in upgiven articles niether any ancient Indian historian wrote about the battle between Alexander and porus clearly nor any greek or roman historian clarified the battle between the two great men,but it will be wrong to say that alexander couldn’t give porus’s kingdom away because at last if not india completely,he had won more than half of the world (as we hear in or day to day life)so at last he was a brave warrior.I think that alexander must have won to porus,but nothing is 100 percent proved inhistory and this epic story still remains a mystery

I agree with some of the posts that it was unlikely for a maglomaniac like Alaxander to be swayed by a simple statement of Puru (“–treat me as another king–). Macedonian generals were appointed as satraps for all of Alexander’s conquered territories, without exception. Here Puro (Porus) ended up with even a bigger territory than what he had before the battle!!Besides, victorious Macedonian army would be got so much gold and diamonds from the victory that they would have surely ventured further into India. Afterall, they were mercenaries – soldiers of fortune and ndia had plenty of it. I think Puru won the battle. Being magnanimous was what the Indian kings known for. Till even 1500 years later Prithviraj forgave Ghori for the first time (with disasterous consequence later, of course)Puru just let Alexander go back alive. One thing Indians were bad at was writing down history. So the Greek version stuck. Besides, the Greek story was convenient for the asendent West. Aryan invasion theory proposed by Western historians is another such attempt.

Did Alexander defeat Porus or did Porus kick Alexander’s tutsi?
It is now a question which can not be answered accurately unless time travel is possible. Though there are certain logics which prove that Alexander was beaten by Porus and the way Arius in the above comments tried to explain, I believe it is possible too that Alexander befriended Porus and appointed him as his representative to hold the kingdom of Paurava. However, on questions still remains which Ali in the above comments, right below Arius’ comment asked, “Why someone who won almost half of the world would go back out of the blue? Because his soldiers were homesick and were not ready to proceed. Alexander WAS a ruthless king and he DID some brutal stuff to his own men when they disobeyed him. So why not kill all the disobeying soldi Macedonian brats and hire a new and efficient workforce of Indian soldiers (we Indians have always been a good outsourced labor)???
This does raise a doubt that maybe… Greek Historians wrote Alexander’s tale differently and made him ‘The Great’ !!!

BUT… who cares?
Alexander, Porus… both of them are dead now. The kingdoms they conquered are under another rulers and everyone (well almost) is happy.
Though Oliver Stone DID make a sweet movie.
RESPECT !

It is much more likely that Alexander lost to Porus. As ruthless as Alexander was, it makes no sense that he suddenly became a fan of Porus out of the blue!

The Greeks twisted their story to save Alexander’s face as an undefeated warrior, but sorry that was until he fought Porus!

REQUEST PERMISSION TO USE YOUR ARTICLES FOR MAGAZINE-(Special Needs Children)

I have been involved with children with special needs (autistic, dyslexic, Down syndrome etc) for more than 12 years. I am an active member and a ‘core leader’ of a support group of parents with special needs children. I have also invented a gadget to help them learn mathematics in their home (this invention came from a vision after my prayer). Being motherless since the age of two, I understand how it feels like to be unwanted, unloved, struggles, fear etc.

As a former civil and structural engineer, and with God’s help, I am about to start a special centre (gardening, fruit farming, vegetable farming, livestock faming, baking, handicraft, etc) for young adults with learning disabilities. Purpose – help them to be independent.

I have also decided to start a magazine, to bring in the families together and to bridge the gap of people in need and people who wants to help. It is similar to the magazine from New Zealand entitled encourager where families with special needs children can feel belong and be encouraged.

I have read the articles in the internet…and I must say, it is very informative .
My request is this – Is it possible to reprint the article – one article a month.
Purpose – to give as much informations as I can and to make the magazine more interesting. ( rather than only talk about special needs.)
It will also benefit you if you like for me to link your page to the readers.

The success of the magazine contributes greatly to the success of the special centre. In Malaysia, this people have little or no support from the “authorities”

To know more about my work I have a blog (which is now under construction) to tell you more of the things that I am doing, log on to abundantlink.blogspot.com

Thank You, and please reply me soonest. I hope to hear from you.

Well, the greeks may say what they want but the fact is that Raja Porus did defeat Alexander the great, otherwise why on earth would a young macedonian, who set out to conquer the world, turn back and stop fighting. The greeks have been very good in history writing because they were much more educted at that time than the indians. It is very easy to twist history when you dont have any other accounts to challenge what has been written.

It is also shown in the hollywood movie “Alexander” that alexander the great was injured during his battle against raja porus. but the movie does not go on to show who won the battle. The reason behind this is that there was not enough evidance avilable to show that alexander had won the battle.

Comment on Did Alexander really defeat Indian Porus? by Arius

Arius — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 23:58:39 +0000

The reason why Alexander may have let King Porus stay in power was because an invader like Alexander, with a now depleted military at the moment, wasn’t going to be able to hold a rebellion off, but King Porus would. Think about it, even America allows Dictators to rule despite them being mere puppets to the American Empire. Why? Because they are better suited to continue to rule and control their people.
This is also very different than say, allowing a Persian kind to continue to rule parts of Persia. That would be unacceptable to Greeks who had a bad history with the Persians. But Indians, different matter.

It’s funny that people think that someone so ruthless, someone with such an ego, actually can’t respect his opponent. Look at sports if you have to. Mike Tyson was a killer in the ring in his prime, but in Victory, would hug and congratulate the majority (if not all) of his opponents. Not only that, but would often make his defeated opponent his sparring partner afterwards. Yes, he gave them a job to help him train. Respect.
And even in defeat, he was gracious.

You don’t have to kill your opponent. Not so one of honorable nature as King Porus was supposed to be. Not one who had a great grip on his land/people. You use that to your advantage. The worst thing you can do is have a rebellion soon after you are on your way and now have someone at your flank ready to strike.

Now could he have Lost? YES, he could have. However, if you go by the stories told of his character, the way he fought battles, the many injuries he suffered because he was a General, a Soldier, who would fight to win at all costs, and go by the battle after Porus, the battle in which he was nearly killed with an arrow, that story tells of a Man that would rather die on the battlefield than to stand alive in defeat.

I favor victory in that battle, however, the prospect of continuing on was the defeat.

Plus, The Greeks are not shy about recording their losses with their Heroes/Generals.

It could be due to a variety of reasons. Do you have some kind of pressure environment at home or college? I don’t know what you mean by stiffness of body. Do you mean like cramps? Then it could be just because of lack of enough water in the system (dehydration) rather than something to do with tension. Also, if there is no proper reason to feel tensed and you still feel it. It could be from the past. Many people after they go through a trauma feel pressured, and tense. Then it is time you let it go.

Please have a long chat with the family. Get things off of your brain. Spit out any grudges/mis-understandings in the home/school. You should be fine. If these don’t help, see a doctor.

Comment on Did Alexander really defeat Indian Porus? by Ritesh

Ritesh — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 08:41:45 +0000

Hey,interestingly since past sometime I been hearing different truth about this issue of Alexanders invasion of India.His very own biography and conquests in Persia,egypt by greeks scholars.I mean it seems so absurd to even think that a ruthless king like Alexander would be happy on Purous’s bravery and reward with huge chunk of his territories in Pakistan and Afghanistan or appoint him as a satrap.Why would he do so?He would have appointed his generals in charge and killed or imprisoned Purous as his biography tells us his ruthless nature.At the same time he would have proceeded further towards China ,Mongolia to carry on his conquest of world.The modern day Europeans are still under the influence that Alexander was undefeated.Yes he was undefeated but until he met Porous.The fact was Alexander was great and higly renowned warrior no question about that but his army was outnumbered against the huge army of Porous in the battle of Jhelum and had to accept defeat in the end.The story of “how one king treats another” is a manufactured and fake story created by some of Alexanders own friends just to keep his enemies away from him.I also request the European historians that this true history should also be a part of global education system.Even the greatest of the greatests are defeated at some stage.This is he law of nature.Truth can’t be hidden for long.

Helpful stuff. Blood pressure and hypertension have been interests of mine for a long time, and I think that a balanced holistic approach is overall the most promising. You have to eat healthy, exercise, and regularly watch your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and then things should be not too hard.

TV commercials are another very good advertising strategy. Almost everybody spends at lest one hour per day watching TV. There are many programs, special events, channels, etc that give you wide range of options to decide and develop the best advertising strategy for your company. One can also use brand ambassadors like move stars, sports persons, etc for their TV ad campaign. TV commercials should be comedy as well as intellectual.

Comment on How to Treat Acne – Health Articles by Mayo

Mayo — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:40:01 +0000

Skin is the largest organ and literally “drinks in” what you put on it, getting it into your bloodstream and your organs in a matter of minutes or even seconds.

What you put on your skin can either help it or harm it – and your entire body – depending on what’s in the product.

Therefore, it’s important to consider the ingredients in ALL the products you use – like those on your hair and body as well as your face.   The best treatments for any age or type skin are not the most expensive ones, but rather gentle ones that are effective.

Chemicals are not gentle or effective. In fact, research is showing that a buildup of chemicals on the skin can cause acne, dryness (which leads to prematurely aging skin) and skin cancer.  

The best products are those with the highest-quality ingredients, not the highest price.  

With so many manufacturers using chemicals in their products, almost any product – cleansers, moisturizers, shampoos, shaving creams, conditioners, hair gels, sunscreens and makeup – can be causing breakouts on your face and body.

   To find chemical-free products, read labels and research ingredients – or start with certified organic ingredients which don’t contain harmful chemicals.

Comment on Shopping For Auto Insurance by admin

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:46:29 +0000

Allan,

I accept when you say that all independent agents are not similar. But, when I talk about buying insurance, I cannot advocate users to go to individual agents dealing with just one location. I have to consider that my users come from various states and countries. Yes, you are correct, that individual agents can give you better deals than bigger companies. But hey, I don’t know about others, but hey I cannot vouch for some individual agent who I have never spoken or worked with. But, I can recommend bigger firms, based on their vast presence, assets, customer service, reviews etc.

Also, regarding the individual agents, like you said, there are some of these agents who nobody wants as their insurance agent and don’t want to vouch for the whole set of ‘induviduals’, knowing that these people would also fall into the category.

But I completely agree that there are better deals and better service providing individual agents out there.
Let me take a step ahead and make it a point to my readers.

When someone like Allan takes time to write about 500 words regarding his industry to make a point, the commitment he is showing here, makes me believe that this is one of those guys, who stands with his customers and takes care of them in case of any incident. I would recommend you pay him a visit if you are shopping around in the locations he covers!

Comment on Shopping For Auto Insurance by Allan

Allan — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 16:46:21 +0000

I’m not sure where you received your information on how to purchase auto or any type of personal lines insurance but, being an independent agent has a lot of advantages over an insurance company that only sells their own product. I also take offense by you saying that “It is always better to go with a well known national company. It is not recommended buying car insurance from “Joe’s Car Insurance”. You will surely get poor coverage and poor service.

By saying “Joes Car Insurance” I’m assuming you mean an independent agent that sells and performs the service for multiple carriers? If so, you are soooo mistaken. True, you will come across some “Joe’s Car Insurance” types out there but hey, you can also receive poor service from the national captive agents and carriers as well. Not only that but what does a consumer do if they have tickets, at fault accidents or a DUI and the “well known natinal company” will not accept them?

There is real value by going through an independent agent that sell well known national insurance companies such as Progressive, Mercury, Travlers, Safeco, Kemper, Hartford, 21st Century, GMAC Insurance and Viking. There are also some not so well known insurance carriers that strictly operate through the independent agent distribution channel and have VERY high financial ratings through AM Best and provide quality policies at very affordable pricing. Myself can accurately shop over 40 insurance companies, quote, bind and issue a policy with in minutes of being contacted by a consumer with them never having to lift a finger. Try doing that by yourself on the internet!

Going through the BBB website is one way of checking on a business but for insurance companies, you are better off checking their financial ratings through AM Best. It is the best source and provides accurate and updated info on all insurance carriers rated or not.

At least in California where I’m from, Social Security numbers are NOT required to obtain insurance for personal lines.

There are plenty of good and reputable independent agents that you might categorize as “Joes Car Insurance” that do a excellent job on providing policies to consumers with well known and not so well known carriers at affordable pricing and provide superior service to their clients.

So, your article just illustrates your lack of knowledge regarding this subject and insurance in general. Please do not write articles on things you do not know about. We’re having a hard enough time in this economy to move forward, stay afloat and provide value for our customers as it is.

Sincerley,

Preparation for gmat should focus on all areas with some extra time allowed for math and verbal as these are the two areas of the exam admissions staff will place more emphasis on these sections of the exam.

If your score is within a schools median 80% range you’ll have a reasonable chance of being admitted.

Take the preparation and exam itself with equal seriousness.

That is true. No body seems to care about what alcohol is doing to this country. All people are concerned about is smoking. Well, I’m not saying smoking/smokers are not causing enough harm, but alcohol does way more damage like DAB was saying.
You guys should write articles about the damage alcohol causes to society and spread the word!

If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.

Great headline. If your cookie has a bite-sized action and your reader completes the action, I think two things happen. Their self-confidence goes up (which feels good) and their trust in you increases.

The following paragraph is directly taken from comta.org home page. If you read it you’ll know they accredit. Instead of blaming the writer of a post lacking credibility, I would say update your information correct before you try to defame someone. Also, we did not say that We are 100% correct. Even if we had an eligible erronous statement, we would have appreciated if you would have taken the path of advicing us as to how to improve the post by making a change, rather than bashing us with your bashful comment.

”
The Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA) accredits both educational institutions and programs offering instruction in massage therapy and bodywork. The organization was formed to establish and maintain the quality and integrity of the profession. In 2002, COMTA was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a specialized accrediting agency, an acknowledgement of its expertise in ensuring quality education and allowing programs to access federal student aid funds.

calotren supplement — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:17:08 +0000

Just a year ago, I was just obsessive about losing my body weight as much as anyone else. I tried virtually every possible option available to me including resorting to my friends and colleagues who have done that considerably well. Then I found . Calotren and decided to give it a shot. It has been truly effective as it contains a natural protein formula that helps you to reduce toxins and surplus body fats effortlessly. Actually, Calotren steps up the natural mechanism of our body to burn excess fats and sugars helping us to reduce effectively. You can try the same and let me know your experience too. Good luck!

Comment on Explain stuff: Fact of the day : Mystery :Did Bell really invent the phone ? by francois mcinnes

francois mcinnes — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:40:02 +0000

Mr. Duquet invented a telephone, which had been patented in Canada in 1877. The Duquet telephone, patented February1 , 1878, called for the use of permanent magnets of round or flat steel in the form of a bunch or cluster to be used in the telephone, which at that time consisted simply of what we would call the receiver, the one device being used for both talking and listening. (A person using the telephone in those days moved the receiver alternately from mouth to ear, and when he became excited might find himself talking with his ear and listening with his mouth!)

Mr. Duquet formed the Quebec & Levis Telephone Company in 1881 but in the next year sold his plant contracts and patents to the Bell.

So, depending on how you define a phone, the real inventor could be someone else.

BeFit-Mom — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:24:04 +0000

Re: “curl ups can also be done as quickly as a few days post delivery.” After a C-section, women need to wait until their stitches are completely healed, about 4 to 6 weeks before they engage in any abdominal exercises like crunches.

All curl-up type of exercises cause intra-abdominal pressure which can stress stitches before tissues have had time to completely knit back together.

Before that time, fitness walking with your baby in a stroller (rather than front pack) is ideal.

Comment on Best Adsense Layout? Adsense placement Tips and layouts. by admin

admin — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:18:47 +0000

What you say (third idea) does look soooo much true when read first.

But, google’s conditions mention that it only shows ads depending on who bids higher and for what place. With adwords, you can chose which place in the page you are bidding for and which position too. The more you bid, the better place you get. Obviously most highly ‘bid for space’ would be the one that is nearest to the content. So, it might be a mistake to think google shows better performing ads near the content.

Also thinking logically, isn’t that unfair if google really decides to do something like that?!!!
Lets say Ad A has been in the market and is performing at about 80percentile. And then someone starts a new campaign Ad B which is not a high bid and hence will obviously perform less, because of the less number of times and the least known places it is shown.
Now if google decides to implement that third idea, then, there will be never that Ad B will pick up and perform better, because this strategy, just improves the perfomance of Ad A and always kills Ad B and hence not allowing Company B to flourish. That would be …hmmm… unfair (like making rich, richer and poor poorer)

Joke5.co.uk webmaster — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:26:45 +0000

I am no adsense expert, but general trend seems to be that users tend to avoid adverts. In your case #2 they do “get it” that the very top part of the site is advertising, and they automatically ignore that part of your site even if there would appear some interesting ads/links. In your case #1 ads and content are mixed nicely so some people think the link in add is part of your content. Some may click on it by accident.

Third idea I have – may be google, when deciding what add to display, also considers how “close” the content is to the advert? If add is near content – better performing ads are shown, but if ad is far away from content (Case #2, in header) – less performing, smaller PPC ads are shown? Could this be?

second theroy was right ,it was recently changed after british invasion of india , this ws book written

“Alexander the great” by Wally Badge which is a Syriac edition, with English translation, of the folk-lore and legends connected to Alexander the Great. This ancient text represents a Greek text that is much older than any text that has been known before. This text shows that alexander was actually defeated (though perhaps a later layering of the text confuses the issue).

a) Darius’s call to help from Porus

b) Porus’s letter to Alexander and the reply and the ensuing fight

Comment on AntiMatter | Science Articles by Hasanuddin

Hasanuddin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 21:37:12 +0000

Correction: There was a slight error within this article. It was stated in this article,

“more normal matter was created than antimatter in the beginning, so that even after mutual annihilation there was enough normal matter left to form stars, galaxies and us.”

Actually, that contradicts the created equal 50:50 theorum stated earlier. The true traditional recitation is that antimatter “decayed asymetrically” (quicker), i.e., it vanished, leading to an all matter Universe. (Which despite “universal attraction” is paradoxically expanding at an ever increasing rate.) Also paradoxical about the traditional assumptions is the fact that all the antimatter didn’t just vanish & that there is a massive antimatter cloud (MAC) that surrounds the center of the galaxy, see www. esa. int/esaSC/ SEMKTX2MDAF_index_0.html

A more modern approach ultimately shows that the original half of all creation, antimatter, did not all fizzle away and vanish in the first seconds. Rather because of dueling repulsion and attraction the well-documented process of “self-assembly” would occur. Cut to chase, this leads to galaxies that are either one type or the other. We happen to live in one that is matter. Our closest neighbor is most likely comprised almost solely of antimatter. Mirror processes would be occurring producing light that would be indistinguishable from regular light, because light is the antiparticle of itself.

This new model is being presented and debated at http:// hypography. com/forums/alternative-theories /18910-the-dominium-model-by-hasanuddin.html

Come and see the new model’s superior alignment with the physical record.

Hey Satish,

Thank you for your interest in Explainstuff. I’m sorry to let you know of this, but, I do not think I can submit your resume to them.

I’m taking my time and making these comments only to help you with your applications in the future. Please do not take it personally.

Two comments:

1) When someone does not completely read a job posting where it clearly states where they should email the resume, I don’t think any owner/recruiter/networker/poster would be too interested in working with them.

2) When an applicant posts one sentence which does not have more than 15 words, but ‘spells terribly’ (intresetd, deatils, thati), does not use punctuation (hi, i), uses ‘plz’ and ‘u’ in a job application, I do not think even if that resume is submitted, it would be short listed.

Hopefully, you’ll remember those two points!

Thanks again for your interest in ExplainStuff.

But it is way costly to travel with your money for the luxury for about 3-5 hours! I wouldn’t go First if it were my money, if they upgrade it why not! Congrats on your first class flight!

This issue has been taken care of! The pages won’t refresh that frequently now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Yes, they were set too low.

Hey Is there a way you can stop the pages from refreshing automatically? When I am reading a post, it refreshes the page and then I have to locate where I was. It is very uncomfortable as a user. Either please remove the auto refresh completely or set it to a longer time.

Comment on Fact of the Day: The woman who can remember everything by Paul

I don’t thinnk she can remember the number of cars and the type of cars that passed her on a particular day. I think they are way tooo common. But as the guy who wrote this mentions of some common triggers like songs, smells etc….. so if such thing like she smelt something unique on a daily walk and then if she smells the same smell today while doing something she might remember how many cars passed her while she smelt it in the past….. just my conclusion. But it’s got to be soooooo confusing that way! I wonder how she differentiates between past and present!

Interesting post.

I do have my doubts, however. Can she really remember EVERY detail of her life, every single moment that she’s ever lived? I mean, I’m no James Randi, but I’d love to test her myself. But then again how would I be able to prove that, say, on July 3, 1954, as she was eating dinner and watching the evening news, she could recall every word the broadcaster said? Or that later, on her way to the grocery store, as she crossed the street, she remembered that there were five cars that passed her–two Hondas and three Fords?

Nonetheless, the article got me to think about how–I saw this on the TV the other day–scientists might someday be able to come up with a pill which could completely obliterate one’s memory. Now I don’t know if this will ever happen in my lifetime, if ever, but remember that only a hundred years ago the idea of someday sending someone to the moon seemed utterly ridiculous.

The implications of such a “forgetting pill”? How about dropping it in poor Richard’s drink to make him forget he’s your husband and have him never have him return? Or taking the pill just to forget that you’ve got $25,000 in debt?

And if thinking of using it on our enemies and on terrorists, sounds like a good idea–as long as they don’t use it on us first. Everyone would then forget about 911, the Holocaust, etc.

And remember that if we lose our memory, we lose the ability to remember the wrongs we’ve committed in the past–thus making ourselves liable to repeat those very same mistakes in the future.

In any case, it’s fascinating what science can accomplish–for better and for worse.

And as far as the lady is concerned–if she indeed can remember every detail of her life, that’s quite remarkable. That to me sounds like a freak of nature. There are many cases of those in our vast universe, aren’t there?

Thanks a lot vecchi for the link! and the explanation of the mistake I made in the post. I honestly appreciate the fact that you took time to clearly explain it and then also post a reference link.

Just a minor quibble. It's not PERL, it's Perl. Practical Extraction and Reporting Language is not actually an acronym, but a backronym. The name Perl was chosen by Larry Wall after dutifully going through all three and four letter-words in the alphabet.
For more information on this (and why it is wrong to use all capitals), see this:

From "perldoc perlfaq1":

But never write
"PERL", because perl is not an acronym, apocryphal folklore and post‐
facto expansions notwithstanding.
