How to Forget About Someone Important

Give yourself time. It's a terrible thing to go through a rough breakup. It would be nice if there was some way to force yourself to pick up and move on at the drop of a hat, but that's just not how people work. Like it or not, you're going to need time to heal. This guide can only help guide the healing and hasten it somewhat. It can't reduce the time you'll need beyond a certain amount.
Use your personal space. Maybe you own a home; maybe you only have half a bedroom to call your own. Whatever the case, find times and places where you can be alone with your thoughts, and let them come naturally. When you have personal space, you have no restrictions on your thoughts. Knowing you have a place where you can be totally honest with yourself will help you cope with your anger and sadness in other areas of your life.
Remove all reminders of this person. Purge your life of anything that brings up painful memories of this person. Not looking at these things every day will help you move on.
Resist the temptation to call. Especially after longer-term relationships, the urge to get back in touch with your ex can be overwhelming. Do your very best to resist it; it will only make things worse in the long run.
Cut off contact. You can't forget someone if you still see him or her all the time, or constantly hear about his or her activities
Talk about it with the opposite gender. Sometimes that can make things easier.
If you are in school and have a class with them, ignore them and hang out with your own friends. DO NOT TRY TO MAKE THEM JEALOUS. It will just create a cycle of you two attempting to make each other jealous.
Stop thinking about him or her. Once you've cut off contact and removed visible reminders of this person, it should be easier to avoid thinking about your pain. If, however, a sudden thought does intrude, stop it in its tracks. Say "no" to yourself or out loud, and immediately shift your attention to whatever is in front of you. Resist the urge to wallow in self-pity, and resolve that thinking of him or her in any way is off-limits.

Alexander the Great Alexander of Macedon Biography

2012-11-02T07:14:00.000-07:00

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alexander III the Great, the King of Macedonia and conqueror of the Persian Empire is considered one of the greatest military geniuses of all times. He was inspiration for later conquerors such as Hannibal the Carthaginian, the Romans Pompey and Caesar, and Napoleon. Alexander was born in 356 BC in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia. He was son of Philip II, King of Macedonia, and Olympias, the princess of neighboring Epirus. He spent his childhood watching his father transforming Macedonia into a great military power, winning victory after victory on the battlefields throughout the Balkans. When he was 13, Philip hired the Greek philosopher Aristotle to be Alexander’s personal tutor. During the next three years Aristotle gave Alexander a training in rhetoric and literature and stimulated his interest in science, medicine, and philosophy, all of which became of importance in Alexander’s later life. In 340, when Philip assembled a large Macedonian army and invaded Thrace, he left his 16 years old son with the power to rule Macedonia in his absence as regent, which shows that even at such young age Alexander was recognized as quite capable. But as the Macedonian army advanced deep into Thrace, the Thracian tribe of Maedi bordering north-eastern Macedonia rebelled and posed a danger to the country. Alexander assembled an army, led it against the rebels, and with swift action defeated the Maedi, captured their stronghold, and renamed it after himself to Alexandropolis.

Two years later in 338 BC, Philip gave his son a commanding post among the senior generals as the Macedonian army invaded Greece. At the Battle of Chaeronea the Greeks were defeated and Alexander displayed his bravery by destroying the elite Greek force, the Theban Secret Band. Some ancient historians recorded that the Macedonians won the battle thanks to his bravery.

The Family Split and the Assassination of Philip II

But not too long after the defeat of the Greeks at Chaeronea, the royal family split apart when Philip married Cleopatra, a Macedonian girl of high nobility. At the wedding banquet, Cleopatra's uncle, general Attalus, made a remark about Philip fathering a ‘legitimate’ heir, i.e., one that was of pure Macedonian blood. Alexander threw his cup at the man, blasting him for calling him 'bastard child’. Philip stood up, drew his sward, and charged at Alexander, only to trip and fall on his face in his drunken stupor at which Alexander shouted:

"Here is the man who was making ready to cross from Europe to Asia, and who cannot even cross from one table to another without losing his balance."

He then took his mother and fled the country to Epirus. Although allowed to return later, Alexander remained isolated and insecure at the Macedonian court. In the spring of 336 BC, with Philip’s Persian invasion already set in motion, the king was assassinated by a young Macedonian noble Pausanias, during the wedding ceremony in Aegae, the old capital of Macedonia. Why Pausanias killed the Macedonian king is a question that puzzled both ancient and modern historians. There is a claim that Pausanias was driven into committing the murder because he was denied justice by the king when he sought his support in punishing the Cleopatra's uncle Attalus for earlier mistreatment. But there are also reports that that both Olympias and Alexander were responsible for the assassination, by driving the young men into committing the act. That might explain why Pausanias was instantly put to death by Alexander's close friends as he attempted to flee the scene, instead of being captured alive and tried before the Macedonian assembly. Philip, the great Macedonian conqueror was dead, the men who liberated his own country and brought if from the edge of the abyss into a world power. His dream of conquering the Persian Empire now lays on his successor, his son king Alexander III.

Suppression of the Thracian, Illyrian, and Greek Rebellions

Once he ascended on the Macedonian throne, Alexander quickly disposed of all of his domestic enemies by ordering their execution. But soon he had to act outside Macedonia. Philip’s death caused series of rebellions among the conquered nations and the Illyrians, Thracians, and Greeks saw a chance for independence. Alexander acted swiftly. He forced his way into Greece despite the roads leading to the country being blocked by the Thessalians. As soon as he restored Macedonian rule in northern Greece, he marched into southern Greece. His speed surprised the Greeks and by the end of the summer 336 BC they had no other choice but to acknowledge his authority.

Believing the Greece would remain calm, Alexander returned to Macedonian, marched east into Thrace, and campaigned as far as the Danube river. He defeated the Thracians and Tribalians in series of battles and drove the rebels beyond the river. Then he marched back across Macedonia and on his return crushed in a single week the threatening Illyrians, before they could receive additional reinforcements.

But now in Greece, upon rumors of his death, a major revolt broke out that engulfed the whole nation. Enraged, Alexander marched south covering 240 miles in two weeks appearing before the walls of Thebes with large Macedonian army. He let the Greeks know that it was not too late for them to change their minds, but the Thebans confident in their position called for all the Greeks who wished to set Greece free to join them against the Macedonians. They were not aware that the Athenians and the Peloponnesians, stunned by the speed of the Macedonian king, quickly reconsidered their options and were now awaiting the outcome of the battle before they make their next move.

Alexander's general Perdiccas attacked the gates, broke into the city, and Alexander moved with the rest of the army behind him to prevent the Thebans from cutting him off. The Macedonians stormed the city, killing everyone in sight, women and children included. 6,000 Thebans citizens died and 30,000 more were sold as slaves. The city where Alexander's father was kept as hostage for three years, was plundered, sacked, burned, and razed to the ground, just like Philip acted with Methone, Olynthus, and the rest of the Greek cities in Chalcidice. Only the temples and the house of the poet Pindar were spared from distraction. This was example to the rest of Greece and Athens and the other Greek city-states quickly rethought their quest for freedom. Greece remained under Macedonian rule.

The Battle of Granicus

With the conquered territories firmly in Macedonian control, Alexander completed the final preparations for the invasion of Asia. The 22 year-old king appointed Philip's experienced general Antipater as regent in his absence to preside over the affairs of Macedonia and Greece, left him a significant force of 13,500 Macedonian soldiers to watch Greece, Thrace, Illyria, and protect Macedonia, and set out for the Hellespont (modern Dardanelles) in the spring of 334 BC.

As his ship approached the Asia Minor's coast, he threw his spear from abroad and stuck it in the ground. He stepped onto the shore, pulled the weapon from the soil, and declared that the whole of Asia would be won by the Macedonian spear.

In the army there were 25,000 Macedonians, 7,600 Greeks, and 7,000 Thracians and Illyrians, but the chief officers were all Macedonians, and Macedonians also commanded the foreign troops. Alexander's second in command was Philip's general Parmenio, the other important commanders being Perdiccas, Craterus, Coenus, Meleager, Antigonus, and Parmenio's son Philotas. The army soon encountered the forces of King Darius III. There were 40,000 Persians and Greeks (20,000 each) waiting for them at the crossing of the river Granicus, near the ancient city of Troy. These Greeks had joined the Persians in the years following the defeat of the Greek army by Philip II at Chaeronea. It is important to note the number of Greeks on the both sides. The Greeks in the Macedonian train were mobilized by the Macedonians, and historiansPeter Green and Ulrich Wilcken speak of them as hostages that would ensure the good behavior of their countrymen left behind in Greece under the watch of Antipater's Macedonian garrisons. Not surprisingly, the Greeks in Alexander's army played insignificant role in the upcoming battles, only to be discharged when convenient. But far greater number of Greeks joined the Persians brushing away the memory of the Persian invasion of Greece some 150 years ago. The ancient Greek historian Arriancited the "old racial rivalry between the Greeks and Macedonians" that led to this hatred on both sides.

The Macedonians defeated the Persians and put them to flight and although the Greeks held their ground and fiercely fought, the battle ended in Macedonian victory. Almost the entire Greek force was annihilated. 18,000 Greeks perished on the banks of Granicus and the 2,000 survivors were sent to forced labor in Macedonia. The Macedonians lost only 120 men according to tradition.

The Campaigns in Asia Minor

Alexander then led the army south across Asia Minor. Ironically, it is not the Persians but the Greek coastal cities which gave the greatest resistance to the Macedonians. The Greek commander Memnon and his men considerably slow down the advance of Alexander and many Macedonians died during the long and difficult sieges of the Greek cities of Halicarnassus, Miletus, Mylasa. But at the end the Macedonian army defeated the enemy and conquered the coast of Asia Minor. Alexander then turned northward to central Asia Minor, to the city of Gordium.

Gordium was a home of the famous so-called Gordian Knot. Alexander knew the legend that said that the man who could untie the ancient knot was destined to rule the entire world. To that date nobody had succeeded in raveling the knot. But the young Macedonian king simply slashed it with his sword and unraveling its ends.

The Battle of Issus

In the autumn of 333 BC, the Macedonian army's encountered the Persian forces under the command of King Darius III himself at a mountain pass at Issus in northwestern Syria. 30,000 Greeks again formed a sizable addition to the Darius' army as elite fighters and were positioned directly against the Macedonian phalanx. Describing the atmosphere before a battle, the Roman historian Curtius explained how Alexander raised the morale of the Macedonians, Greeks, Illyrians, and Thracians in his army, one at the time:

"Riding to the front line he (Alexander the Great) named the soldiers and they responded from spot to spot where they were lined up. The Macedonians, who had won so many battles in Europe and set off to invade Asia ... got encouragement from him - he reminded them of their permanent values. They were the world's liberators and one day they would pass the frontiers set by Hercules and Father Liber. They would subdue all races on Earth. Bactria and India would become Macedonian provinces. Getting closer to the Greeks, he reminded them that those were the people (the Persians on the other side) who provoked war with Greece, ... those were the people that burned their temples and cities ... As the Illyrians and Thracians lived mainly from plunder, he told them to look at the enemy line glittering in gold ..." (Q. Curtius Rufus 3.10.4-10)

Darius's army greatly outnumbered the Macedonians, but the Battle of Issus ended in a big victory for Alexander. Ten's of thousands of Persians, Greeks, and other Asiatic soldiers were killed and king Darius fled in panic before the Macedonian phalanx, abandoning his mother, wife, and children behind. Alexander treated them with the respect out of consideration for their royalty.

The Sieges of Tyre and Gaza

The victory at Issus opened the road for Syria and Phoenicia. In early 332, Alexander sent general Parmenio to occupy the Syrian cities and himself marched down the Phoenician coast where he received the surrender of all major cities except the island city of Tyre which refused to grant him access to sacrifice at the temple of the native Phoenician god Melcart. A very difficult seven-month siege of the city followed. In an enormous effort, the Macedonians begun building a mole that would connect the island-city with the coast. Tons of rocks and wood were poured into the water strip separating the island from the coast but its construction and the attacks from the city walls cost Alexander many of his bravest Macedonians. Although seriously tempted to lift the siege and continue marching on Egypt, Alexander did not abandon the project and continued the siege, surrounding the island with ships and blasting the city walls with catapults. When the walls finally gave in, the Macedonians poured their anger over the city defenders - 7,000 people were killed, 30,000 were sold as slaves. Alexander entered the temple of Melcart, and had his sacrifice.

During the seven-month siege of Tyre, Alexander received a letter from Darius offering a truce with a gift of several western provinces of the Persian Empire, but he refused to make peace unless he could have the whole empire. He continued marching south toward Egypt but was again held up by resistance at Gaza. The Macedonians put the city under a siege which lasted two months, after which the scenario of Tyre was repeated. With the fall of Gaza, the whole Eastern Mediterranean coast was now secured and firmly in the hands of the Macedonians.

The mainland Greeks had hoped that the Persian navy and the Greek commander Memnon would land in Greece and help them launch a rebellion against Antipater's Macedonians, transfer the war into Macedonia itself, and cut off Alexander in Asia, but the sealing of the coast prevented this from happening. Memnon fell sick and died while attempting to regain the lost Greek city of Miletus on the Asia Minor coast, and the Persian plan to transfer the war into Europe well apart.

Alexander in Egypt

Alexander entered Egypt in the beginning of 331 BC. The Persian satrap surrendered and the Macedonians were welcomed by the Egyptians as liberators for they had despised living under Persian rule for almost two centuries. Here Alexander ordered that a city be designed and founded in his name at the mouth of river Nile, as trading and military Macedonian outpost, the first of many to come. He never lived to see it built, but Alexandria will become a major economic and cultural center in the Mediterranean world not only during the Macedonian rule in Egypt but centuries after.

In the spring of 331 Alexander made a pilgrimage to the great temple and oracle of Amon-Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun, whom the Greeks and Macedonians identified with Zeus Ammon. The earlier Egyptian pharaohs were believed to be sons of Amon-Ra and Alexander as new ruler of Egypt wanted the god to acknowledge him as his son. He decided to make the dangerous trip across the desert to visit the oracle at the temple of the god. According to the legend, on the way he was blessed with abundant rain, and guided across the desert by ravens. At the temple, he was welcomed by the priests and spoke to the oracle. The priest told him that he was a son of Zeus Ammon, destined to rule the world, and this must have confirmed in him his belief of divine origin. Alexander remained in Egypt until the middle of 331, and then returned to Tyre before facing Darius.

The Battle of Gaugamela

At Tyre, Alexander received reinforcements from Europe, reorganized his forces, and started for Babylon. He conquered the lands between rivers Tigris and Euphrates and found the Persian army at the plains of Gaugamela, near modern Irbil in Iraq, which according to the exaggerated accounts of antiquity was said to number a million men. The Macedonians spotted the lights from the Persian campfires and encouraged Alexander to lead his attack under cover of darkness. But he refused to take advantage of the situation because he wanted to defeat Darius in an equally matched battle so that the Persian king would never again dare to raise an army against him.

The two armies met on the battlefield the next morning, October 1, 331 BC. On the Persian side were numerous Asiatic nations - Bactrians, Indians, Medians, Sogdians, even Albanians from the Caucasus, the ancestors of the modern Albanians who many centuries later migrated to Europe and are now northern neighbors to the modern Greeks and western neighbors to the modern Macedonians. The survivors of the 50,000 Greeks which Darius had on his side at the beginning of the war were also among the Persian ranks.

At the beginning of the battle the Persian forces split and separated the two Macedonians wings. The wing of general Parmenio appeared to be backing down, but Alexander's cavalry rode straight after Darius and forced again his flight like he did at Issus. Darius fled to Ecbatana in Media, and Alexander occupied Babylon, the imperial capital Susa, and the Persian capital Persepolis, and was henceforth proclaimed king of Asia. Four months later, the Macedonians burned the royal palace in Persepolis, completing the end of the ancient Persian Empire.

Suppression of the Greek Rebellion, Discharge of the Greeks, and the Death of Darius

Meanwhile in Greece, the Greeks under the leadership of Sparta rose to a rebellion against the Macedonian occupation. Antipater was in Thrace at the time and the Greeks took the opportunity to push back the Macedonian forces. But their initial victory did not last for long as Antipater returned with a large army, defeated the rebels, and regained Greece. 5,300 Greeks, including the Spartan king Agis were killed, while the Macedonians lost 3,500 men.

In Asia, the news of the beginning of the Greek rebellion had Alexander so deeply worried, that he immediately sent money to Antipater to counter it. And when he learned that the Greeks were defeated, he proclaimed the end of the "Hellenic Crusade" and discharged all-Greek forces in his army. He no longer needed thesehostages and potential troublemakers.

Alexander continued his pursuit of Darius for hundreds of miles from Persepolis. When he finally caught up to him, he found the Persian king dead in his coach. He was assassinated by Bessus, the satrap of Bactria which now proclaimed himself "King of the Kings", assuming the title of the Persian kings. Alexander gave Darius a royal funeral and set out for Bactria after his murderer.

The Trial of Philotas and the Murder of Parmenio

To win the support of the Persian aristocracy Alexander appointed many Persians as provincial governors in his new empire. He adopted the Persian dress for ceremonies, gave orders for Persians to be enlisted in the army, and encouraged the Macedonians to marry Persian women.

But the Macedonians were unhappy with Alexander's Orientalization for they were proud of their Macedonian customs, culture, and language. His increasingly Oriental behavior eventually led to conflict with the Macedonian nobles and some Greeks in the train. In 330 BC series of allegations were brought up against some of Alexander's officers concerning a plot to murder him. Alexander tortured and executed the accused leader of the conspiracy, Parmenio's son Philotas, the commander of the cavalry. Several other officers were also executed according to Macedonian law, in order to eliminate the alleged attempt on Alexander's life. During the trial of Philotas Alexander raised the question of the use of the ancient Macedonian language. He spoke:

"'The Macedonians are about to pass judgment upon you; I wish to know whether you will use their native tongue in addressing them.' Philotas replied: 'Besides the Macedonians there are many present who, I think, will more easily understand what I shall say if I use the same language which you have employed.' Than said the king: 'Do you not see how Philotas loathes even the language of his fatherland? For he alone disdains to learn it. But let him by all means speak in whatever way he desires, provided that you remember that he holds out customs in as much abhorrence as our language.'" (Quintus Curtius Rufus 6.9.34-36)

The trial of Philotas took place in Asia before a multiethnic public, which has accepted Greek as their common language. Alexander spoke Macedonian with his conationals, but used Greek in addressing the Greeks and the Asians, as Greek was widely taken as international language in ancient times. Like Carthaginian, Illyrian, and Thracian, ancient Macedonian was not recorded in writing. However, on the bases of about hundred glosses, Macedonian words noted and explained by Greek writers, some place names from Macedonia, and names of individuals, most scholars believe that ancient Macedonian was a separate Indo-European language. Evidence from phonology indicates that the ancient Macedonian language was distinct from ancient Greek and closer to the Thracian and Illyrian languages. Some modern writers have erroneously concluded that the Macedonians spoke Greek based on few Greek inscriptions discovered in Macedonia, but that is by no means a proof that the Macedonian was not a distinct language. Greek inscriptions were also found in Thrace and Illyria, the Thracians even inscribed their coins and vessels in Greek, and we know that both the Illyrians and the Thracians were not Greeks who had distinct languages.

After Philotas was executed according to the Macedonian custom, Alexander ordered next the execution of Philotas' father, general Parmenio. But the death of the old general did not sit well with every Macedonian in the army. Parmenio was a veteran, proven solder of Philip's guard, a men who played a major part in leading the Macedonian armies and rising the country to a world power. In fact Philip II had often remarked how proud he was to have Parmenio as his general.

The Murder of Cleitus and the execution of Callisthenes

Alexander next killed Cleitus, another Macedonian noble, in a drunken brawl. Heavy drinking was a cherished tradition at the Macedonian court and that day Cleitus publicly denounced the king before the present for the murders of Parmenio and Philotas. He went further by ridiculing Alexander for claiming to be "son of Ammon" and for denouncing his own father Philip II. Alexander lost his temper, snatched the spear from the bodyguard standing near, and ran Cleitus through with it. Although he mourned his friend excessively and nearly committed suicide when he realized what he had done, all of Alexander's associates thereafter feared his paranoia and dangerous temper.

He next demanded that Europeans, just like the Asians, follow the Oriental etiquette of prostrating themselves before the king - which he knew was regarded as an act of worship by the Greeks. But resistance put by Macedonian officers and by the Greek historian Callisthenes, the nephew of Aristotle who had joined the expedition, defeated the attempt. Callisthenes was soon executed on a charge of conspiracy, and we can only imagine how Aristotle received the news of his death. The two were already estranged for a long time before Callisthenes’ execution, as Alexander's letters to his former tutor carried unfriendly contents.

The Macedonians spent two hard years in Bactria fighting a guerilla war against the followers of Bessus and the Sogdian ruler Spitamenes. Finally, Bessus was caught and executed for the murder of his king Darius III, and Spitamenes was killed by his own wife which was tired of running away. Bactria and Sogdiana, the most eastern provinces of the Persian Empire came under Macedonian control. It is here that Alexander fell in love with and married the beautiful Sogdian princess Roxane.

The March on India

In the spring of 327 BC, Alexander and his army marched into India invading Punjab. The greatest of Alexander's battles in India was at the river Hydaspes, against king Porus, one of the most powerful Indian rulers. In the summer of 326 BC, Alexander's army crossed the heavily defended river during a violent thunderstorm to meet Porus' forces. The Indians were defeated in a fierce battle, even though they fought with elephants, which the Macedonians had never seen before. Porus was captured and like the other local rulers he had defeated, Alexander allowed him to continue to govern his territory.

In this battle Alexander's horse Bucephalus was wounded and died. Alexander had ridden Bucephalus into every one of his battles in Europe and Asia, so when it died he was grief-stricken. He founded a city which he named Buckephalia, in his horse's name.

The army continued advancing as far as the river Hydaspes but at this point the Macedonians refused to go farther as reports were coming of far more larger and dangerous armies ahead equipped with many elephants and chariots. General Coenus spoke on army's behalf to the king. Reluctantly, Alexander agreed to stop here. Not too long afterwards Coenus died and the army buried him with the highest honors.

It was agreed that the army travel down south the rivers Hydaspes and Indus so that they might reach the Ocean on the southern edge of the world and from there head westward toward Persia. 1,000 ships were constructed and while the navy sailed the rivers, the army rode down along the rivers banks, stopping to attack and subdue the Indian villages along the way.

One of the villages in which the army stopped belonged to the Malli, who were said to be one of the most warlike of the Indian tribes. Alexander was severally wounded in this attack when an arrow pierced his breastplate and his ribcage. The Macedonians rescued him in a narrow escape from the village. Still the Malli surrendered as Alexander became to recover from the grave wound. The travel down the river resumed and the Macedonian army reached the mouth of the Indus in the summer of 325 BC. Then it turned westward to Persia.

But the return was a disaster. The army was marching through the notorious Gerdosian desert during the middle of the summer. By the time Alexander reached Susa thousands had died of heat and exhaustion.

Alexander's Death

In the spring of 324, Alexander held a great victory celebration at Susa. He and 80 of his close associates married Persian noblewomen. In addition, he legitimized previous so-called marriages between soldiers and native women and gave them rich wedding gifts, no doubt to encourage such unions.

Little later, at Opis he proclaimed the discharge of 10,000 Macedonian veterans to be sent home to Macedonia with generalCraterus. Craterus' orders were to replace Antipater and Antipater’s to bring new reinforcements in Asia. But the army mutinied hearing this. Enraged Alexander pointed the main ringleaders to his bodyguards to be punished and then gave his famous speech where he reminded the Macedonians that without him and his father Philip, they would have still been leaving in fear of the nations surrounding Macedonia, instead of ruling the world. After this the Macedonians were reconciled with their king and 10,000 of them set out for Europe, leaving their children of Asian women with Alexander. In the same time 30,000 Persian youth already trained in Macedonian manner were recruited in the army. Alexander prayed for unity between Macedonians and Persians and by breeding a new army of mixed blood he hoped to create a core of a new royal army which would be attached only to him.

But Alexander will never see this happen. Shortly before beginning of the planned Arabian campaign, he contracted a high fever after attending a private party at his friend's Medius of Larisa. As soon as he drank from the cup he “shrieked aloud as if smitten by a violent blow”. The fever became stronger with each following day to the point that he was unable to move and speak. The Macedonians were allowed to file past their leader for the last time before he finally succumbed to the illness on June 7, 323 BC in the Macedonian month of Daesius. Alexander the Great, the Macedonian king and the great conqueror of Persian Empire, died at the age of 33 without designating a successor to the Macedonian Empire.

After Alexander

After his death, nearly all the noble Susa marriages dissolved, which shows that the Macedonians despised the idea. There never came to unity between Macedonians and Persians and there wasn't even a unity among the Macedonians. Alexander's death opened the anarchic age of the Successors and a bloody Macedonian civil war for power followed.

As soon as the news of Alexander's death were known, the Greeks rebelled yet again and so begun the Lamian War. The Macedonians were defeated and expelled from Greece, but then Antipater received reinforcements from Craterus who brought to Macedonia the 10,000 veterans discharged at Opis. Antipater and Craterus jointly marched into Greece, defeated the Greek army at Crannon in Thessaly and brought the war to an end. Greece will remain under Macedonian rule for the next one and a half century.

In Asia the Macedonian commanders who served Alexander fought each other for power. Perdiccas and Meleager were murdered, Antigonus rose to control most of Asia, but his growth of power brought the other Macedonian generals in coalition against him. He was killed in battle and the Macedonian Empire split into four main kingdoms - the one of Seleucus (Asia), Ptolemy (Egypt), Lysimachus (Thrace), and Antipater's son Cassander (Macedonia, including Greece).

The rise of Rome put an end to Macedonian kingdoms. Macedonia and Greece were conquered in 167/145 BC, Seleucid Asia by 65 BC, and Cleopatra VII, the last Macedonian descendent of Ptolemy committed suicide in 30 BC, after which Egypt was added to the Roman Empire.

With the split of the Roman Empire into Western and Eastern (Byzantium), the Macedonians came to play a major role in Byzantium. The period of rule of the Macedonian dynasty which ruled the Eastern Roman Empire from 867 to 1056 is known as the "Golden Age" of the Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire fell in the 15^th century and Macedonia, Greece, and the whole southern Balkans came under the rule of the Turkish Empire.

Greece gained its independence at the beginning of the 19^th century with the help of the Western European powers, while Macedonia which continued to be occupied by foreign powers, gained independence in 1991, but only over 37% of its historical ethnic territory. With the Balkan Wars of 1912/13 Macedonia was occupied by the armies of its neighbors - 51% of it's territory came under, and still is under the rule of Greece, while the remaining 12% are still occupied by Bulgaria. Both Greece and Bulgaria had been condemned numerous times for the oppression of their large Macedonian minorities which they had stripped off basic human rights, ever since the partition of the country.

geniuses

2012-10-31T17:18:00.001-07:00

First off, you may be surprised to find that Albert Einstein is not included on this list. The reason is that I have used a table of IQ estimates for historical geniuses to determine the members and order of this list, and Einstein’s IQ (around 160) did not make the grade. Despite that, he is still the first person to pop in to most people’s minds when thinking of a genius. Having said that, here is a list of the ten greatest geniuses in history.

10. Madame De Stael
IQ: 180Wikipedia

In full – Anne-Louise-Germaine Necker, Baronne (baroness) de Staël-Holstein, byname Madame de Staël. Madame de Stael was a French-Swiss woman of letters, political propagandist, and conversationalist, who epitomized the European culture of her time, bridging the history of ideas from Neoclassicism to Romanticism. She also gained fame by maintaining a salon for leading intellectuals. Her writings include novels, plays, moral and political essays, literary criticism, history, autobiographical memoirs, and even a number of poems. Her most important literary contribution was as a theorist of Romanticism. Madame de Stael is on an equal level with René Descartes but I chose to include her rather than him in order to put at least one woman on this list.

9. Galileo Galilei
IQ: 185Wikipedia

Galileo was Italian natural philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who made fundamental contributions to the sciences of motion, astronomy, and strength of materials and to the development of the scientific method. His formulation of (circular) inertia, the law of falling bodies, and parabolic trajectories marked the beginning of a fundamental change in the study of motion. His insistence that the book of nature was written in the language of mathematics changed natural philosophy from a verbal, qualitative account to a mathematical one in which experimentation became a recognized method for discovering the facts of nature. Finally, his discoveries with the telescope revolutionized astronomy and paved the way for the acceptance of the Copernican heliocentric system, but his advocacy of that system in support of his view that the Bible contained errors, eventually resulted in an Inquisition process against him.

8. Bobby Fischer
IQ: 187Wikipedia

Bobby is the byname of Robert James Fischer, an American chess master who became the youngest grandmaster in history when he received the title in 1958. His youthful intemperance and brilliant playing drew the attention of the American public to the game of chess, particularly when he won the world championship in 1972. Fischer learned the moves of chess at age 6 and at 16 dropped out of high school to devote himself fully to the game. In 1958 he won the first of many American championships. In world championship candidate matches during 1970–71, Fischer won 20 consecutive games before losing once and drawing three times to former world champion Tigran Petrosyan of the Soviet Union in a final match won by Fischer. In 1972 Fischer became the first native-born American to hold the title of world champion when he defeated Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union in a highly publicized match held in Reykjavík, Iceland. In doing so, Fischer won the $156,000 victor’s share of the $250,000 purse.

7. Ludwig Wittgenstein
IQ: 190Wikipedia

in full – Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein was an Austrian-born English philosopher, regarded by many as the greatest philosopher of the 20th century. Wittgenstein’s two major works, Logisch-philosophische Abhandlung (1921; Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, 1922) and Philosophische Untersuchungen (published posthumously in 1953; Philosophical Investigations), have inspired a vast secondary literature and have done much to shape subsequent developments in philosophy, especially within the analytic tradition. His charismatic personality has, in addition, exerted a powerful fascination upon artists, playwrights, poets, novelists, musicians, and even filmmakers, so that his fame has spread far beyond the confines of academic life.

6. Blaise Pascal
IQ: 195Wikipedia

Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, religious philosopher, and master of prose. He laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities, formulated what came to be known as Pascal’s law of pressure, and propagated a religious doctrine that taught the experience of God through the heart rather than through reason. The establishment of his principle of intuitionism had an impact on such later philosophers as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Henri Bergson and also on the Existentialists.

5. John Stuart Mill
IQ: 200Wikipedia

John Stuart Mill was an English philosopher, economist, and exponent of Utilitarianism. He was prominent as a publicist in the reforming age of the 19th century, and remains of lasting interest as a logician and an ethical theorist. Mill was a man of extreme simplicity in his mode of life. The influence that his works exercised upon contemporary English thought can scarcely be overestimated, nor can there be any doubt about the value of the liberal and inquiring spirit with which he handled the great questions of his time. Beyond that, however, there has been considerable difference of opinion about the enduring merits of his philosophy.

4. Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz
IQ: 205Wikipedia

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (also Leibnitz or von Leibniz (July 1 (June 21 Old Style) 1646 – November 14, 1716) was a German philosopher of Sorbian origin who wrote primarily in Latin and French. Educated in law and philosophy, and serving as factotum to two major German noble houses (one becoming the British royal family while he served it), Leibniz played a major role in the European politics and diplomacy of his day. He occupies an equally large place in both the history of philosophy and the history of mathematics. He discovered calculus independently of Newton, and his notation is the one in general use since. He also discovered the binary system, foundation of virtually all modern computer architectures. In philosophy, he is most remembered for optimism, i.e., his conclusion that our universe is, in a restricted sense, the best possible one God could have made.

3. Emanuel Swedenborg
IQ: 205Wikipedia

Emanuel Swedenborg was a Swedish scientist, Christian mystic, philosopher, and theologian who wrote voluminously in interpreting the Scriptures as the immediate word of God. Soon after his death, devoted followers created Swedenborgian societies dedicated to the study of his thought. These societies formed the nucleus of the Church of the New Jerusalem, or New Church, also called the Swedenborgians.

2. Leonardo Da Vinci
IQ: 205Wikipedia

Leonardo Da Vinci, Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. His Last Supper (1495–98) and Mona Lisa (c. 1503–06) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance. His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical inventiveness that were centuries ahead of their time. The unique fame that Leonardo enjoyed in his lifetime and that, filtered by historical criticism, has remained undimmed to the present day rests largely on his unlimited desire for knowledge, which guided all his thinking and behaviour.

1. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
IQ: 210Wikipedia

Goethe, German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre director, critic, and amateur artist, is considered the greatest German literary figure of the modern era. Goethe is the only German literary figure whose range and international standing equal those of Germany’s supreme philosophers (who have often drawn on his works and ideas) and composers (who have often set his works to music). In the literary culture of the German-speaking countries, he has had so dominant a position that, since the end of the 18th century, his writings have been described as “classical.” In a European perspective he appears as the central and unsurpassed representative of the Romantic movement, broadly understood.

Pork is DEADLY !!!

2012-08-21T04:19:00.000-07:00

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People have been eating pork since 7,000 B.C., according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Pork comes from hogs and is made into ribs, pork chops, loin, shoulder, sausage and bacon. Pork is the most popular meat worldwide, but not all cultures or religions eat pork because of various health disadvantages associated with its consumption. If pork is not handled safely or cooked correctly, it can pose serious health risks.

VIRAL DISEASE

Pork can pose certain health risks from bacteria and resistant bacteria that cause infection and viruses. Eating pork contaminated with a food-borne bacteria can cause vomiting, fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and dehydration. Pork can become contaminated during slaughter, improper handling, leaving meat out for more than two hours or not cooking it long enough. Cooking is needed to destroy bacteria, but refrigeration slows the growth of bacteria. Resistant bacteria are another disadvantage of pork. Resistant strains of E. coli, salmonella and Escherichia are caused by treating hogs with antimicrobials, increasing their resistance to the drugs, notes a study published in the January 2001 issue of "Veterinary Quarterly."

ROUNDWORM INFESTATION

Roundworm infestation, also known as trichinosis, is a disadvantage of pork that can be prevented. Undercooked pork can contain the Trichinella spiralis parasite, also known as "pork worm." Eating the infested pork causes the cysts to break open in your intestines and grow into large adult roundworms. The roundworms multiply in your intestines and move through your gut into your bloodstream, invading muscle tissue, according to the National Institutes of Health. This can affect your heart, brain, lungs and diaphragm. Symptoms of roundworm infestation include cramps, diarrhea, fever, muscle pain or weakness and abdominal discomfort.

HEART DISEASE RISK

Saturated fats are one of the major risk factors for heart disease. Saturated fats cause your LDL cholesterol levels, the "bad" cholesterol, to rise, increasing your risk for heart disease. Saturated fat also increases your risk for becoming overweight or obese, which directly impacts your heart and other organs. The saturated fat in pork comes from bacon, sausage and pork lard used in baking. The American Heart Association recommends reducing your consumption of saturated fats or replacing them with unsaturated fat choices.

BLADDER CANCER RISK

Another disadvantage of pork is that it increases your risk of bladder cancer if you eat well-done or burnt pork often, according to Jie Lin, Ph.D., in an article published by the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Pork cooked at high temperatures creates heterocyclic amines, HCAs, which can cause cancer. A 12-year study involving 844 patients with bladder cancer and 878 patients without bladder cancer gathered nutritional information and found that patients who ate pork and other red meats well-done had a significantly higher risk of bladder cancer.

**There are benefits of MSM Powder for pain**

There are many msm benefits, and this natural pain remedy helps the pain of a large number of painful conditions, and is easy to use as well.

If you take one teaspoonsful of MSM powder in water each day, after a few days you should find your pain levels reduce quite a bit, and if you continue using it... many people find that the benefits of MSM give significant relief.

Many of them have other excellent healing qualities including their effectiveness to aid allergies, chemical sensitivity, and easing cold and flu symptoms.

So lets take a look at some of the uses of many of the most well-known natural pain killers:

**Feverfew Flower** cc-sa

Feverfew: This herb is used as a treatment for migraine headaches. It is believed that the way Feverfew leaf helps migraines is related to its action to reduce the production of serotonin.

The Holmes Method

2012-08-08T00:47:00.003-07:00

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part One – A Study in Sherlock

The many facets of the personality of Holmes are analysed including the rationality of his approach to a case eschewing emotion, superstition, irrationality, and fallacies. His use of evidence, the scientific method and the acquisition of useful knowledge is discussed. We then look at his methods of abstraction and distraction, his immersion in lengthy chemical experiments, and then his intense concentration. Finally his vices.

The section draws on A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Abbey Grange, The Copper Beeches, The Norwood Builder, Silver Blaze, The Valley of Fear, The Boscombe Valley Mystery, The Mazarin Stone, The Man with the Twisted Lip and The Yellow Face.

Part Two – A Case in Logic

This looks at the science of logic and Rai suggests that if you read these pages you will be able to infer the possibility of a Niagara or an Atlantic from the knowledge of a single drop of water (as Holmes suggests in A Study in Scarlet). The heading of the one of the sections in Part One – Five Pillows and an Ounce of Shag – would be an appropriate setting for reading this section.

Again Rai draws heavily on the Canon to illustrate the application of logic including A Study in Scarlet, A Scandal in Bohemia, The Copper Beeches, The Yellow Face, The Sign of Four, Silver Blaze, The Norwood Builder, The Boscombe Valley Mystery and His Last Bow.

If you have ever wondered what the difference is between deduction and induction, what categorical propositions, categorical syllogisms, disjunctive syllogisms and the inductive force are then this section should make it all clear!

Part Three – The Observation Ritual

You see but you do not observe must be Holmes most common admonition, of me at least. This section deals with the need for acute and meticulous observation of detail. This is about turning the familiar saying about not being able to see the wood for the trees on its head and carefully observing the trees, branches and leaves before jumping to conclusions about the wood.

In this section he draws on The Norwood Builder, The Blue Carbuncle, The Stockbroker’s Clerk, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Reigate Squire, The Sign of Four, The Golden Pince-Nez, The Dancing Men, The Resident Patient, The Valley of Fear, The Speckled Band, The Yellow Face, and of course, A Study in Scarlet, with the unforgettable “You have been in Afganistan, I perceive”.

Part Four – The Sign of Holmesian Deduction

This section takes two of our cases – The Beryl Coronet and The Musgrave Ritual – and looks at how Holmes brings all his skills to bear on a particular problem.

As with most of our adventures, they follow a common pattern. The client arrives at states the nature of the case. Then there is the initial analysis of the problem from the facts known at that point. This indicates the need for further investigation before the denouement.

Epilogue – Real World Application

The final section gives us a real world example and takes us through the same stages as in Part Four.

In Summary

Even after many years working alongside Holmes on innumerable cases, I still struggle to apply his methods and get the results he can so easily obtain. Perhaps this is a question of innate ability coupled with intense practice. He has dedicated his whole life to it and perhaps that is what gives him the edge.

Kali ini, Neelofa tampil lebih gah dan berani apabila menghadiri majlis anjuran Habib Jewels dengan memperaga pakaian ‘ala-ala berkemban’.

Penulis sendiri tidak pasti sama ada pemilihan pakaian itu adalah ditetapkan oleh penganjur program berkenaan atau Neelofa sendiri yang membuat keputusan untuk berpakaian sebegitu.

Kredit kepada Habib Jewels kerana bijak memilih model untuk memperagakan koleksi berlian syarikat itu.

Nampaknya, Neelofa boleh dikategorikan sebagai selebriti wanita Malaysia yang berani berpakaian sebegitu.

Mana tidaknya, dengan kulit yang halus lagi putih, susuk tubuh yang menarik serta senyuman yang manis, pastinya membuatkan dia berani tampil sebegitu.

DOA-DOA DI MALAM 10 TERAKHIR PUASA RAMADHAN

2012-08-08T00:28:00.000-07:00

Diriwayatkan dari Saidatina Aisyah r.a. yang menceritakan:

“Aku bertanya Rasulullah s.a.w.; ‘Ya Rasulullah, jika aku menemui lailatul-Qadar (malam al-Qadar) apakah doa paling baik untuk aku ucapkan?’ Jawab Rasulullah; ‘Kamu bacalah doa (yg bermaksud); “Ya Allah, ya Tuhanku! Sesungguhnya Engkau adalah Tuhan yang maha pemaaf. Engkau suka memaafkan (dosa hamba-hamba-Mu). Maka maafkanlah daku (yakni ampunkanlah dosa-dosaku).” (Riwayat Imam at-Tirmizi)

Nabi Muhammad s.a.w pernah bersabda:

“Permulaan Ramadan itu adalah rahmat, pertengahannya adalah keampunan (maghrifah) dan penghujungnya adalah kebebasan dari api neraka”

Kita sekarang berada di fasa terakhir Ramadan dan 10 malam akhir Ramadan ini adalah fasa pembebasan daripada api neraka dan “puasa itu adalah perisai” yang menghalang pelakunya daripada memasuki neraka. Seperti yang kita maklum, di 10 malam terakhir ini juga terdapat 1 malam yang sangat istimewa iaitu malam Lailatul Qadar.

Hanya ibadah puasa Ramadan yang dipecahkan kepada 3 bahagian iaitu fasa rahmat, keampunan dan kemerdekaan daripada neraka semata-mata kerana Allah s.w.t. ingin membesarkan pahala Ramadan. Subhanallah. Semoga kita dapat memanfaatkan setiap fasa yang telah kita lalui sepanjang Ramadan tahun ini.

“Sesungguhnya amalan-amalan itu terletak pada penghabisannya” (Hadis Riwayat Bukhari)

Oleh itu marilah kita tingkatkan dan tambahkan ibadat di 10 akhir Ramadan. Bersamalah kita mengisikan 10 hari terakhir ini dengan melebihkan ketakwaan dan menjaga ibadat puasa Ramadan. Mari perkemaskan ibadah puasa di 10 hari terakhir ini dan tutuplah kecuaian yang berlaku dalam puasa 20 hari yang lepas dengan menambahkan amalan-amalan sunat selain amalan fardu seperti solat, bersedekah dan membaca Al-quran. Bersamalah kita mencari Lailatul Qadar.

Bagi mencari malam Lailatul Qadar, ada baiknya kita membaca Doa lailatul-Qadar ini pd setiap malam di 10 malam terakhir Ramadan kerana dengan membacanya pada setiap malam, pastinya salah satu doa kita akan bertemu malam al-Qadar sekalipun tanpa kita menyedarinya.

Sabda Rasulullah,

“Sesungguhnya bagi orang berpuasa -ketika berbukanya- doa yang tidak akan ditolak.” (Riwayat Ibnu Majah dari Abdullah bin 'Amru bin al-'As)

Di samping itu, kita perbanyakkan berdoa dengan doa-doa 10 malam terakhir Ramadan. Bersama entri kali ini, mari berkongsi juga doa-doa 10 malam terakhir untuk kita sama-sama membacanya dan mendapat syafaat daripada Allah SWT .

Kelebihan Dan Keajaiban Air Zam Zam

2012-08-07T01:10:00.000-07:00

Tidak ramai yang tahu bagaimana telaga zam-zam boleh mengeluarkan puluhan juta liter pada musim haji dan ia tidak pernah kering walaupun sekali.

Seorang pengkaji diperintahkan oleh raja Faisal untuk menyelidik telaga zam-zam bagi menjawab tuduhan liar seorang doktor dari Mesir.

Berapa Juta Liter Air Zam-Zam?

Berapa banyak air zam-zam yang di ambil setiap kali musim haji? Mari kita kira secara rambang, Jemaah haji yang datang dari seluruh pelusok dunia pada setiap musim haji dewasa ini berjumlah lebih kurang dua juta orang.

Semua jemaah diberi 5 liter air zam-zam ketika pulang ke tanah airnya, jika 2 juta orang membawa pulang masing- masing 5 liter air zam-zam ke negaranya, ini sahaja sudah menjadi 10 juta liter.

Disamping itu sepanjang berada di Mekah dan kebanyakannya jemaah tinggal 25 hari dan setiap orang menghabiskan 1 liter sehari maka jumlahnya sudah 50 juta liter !!.

Keanehan Air Zam-Zam
Pada tahun 1971, seorang doktor dari Mesir mengatakan kepada akhbar di Eropah bahawa air zam-zam tidak sihat untuk diminum.

Pendapatnya berdasarkan bahawa kota Mekah itu ada di bawah garis permukaan laut, Air Zamzam itu berasal dari air sisa buangan penduduk kota Mekah yang meresap, kemudian mendap terbawa bersama-sama air hujan dan keluar dari telaga air zamzam. Masya Allah.

Berita ini sampai ke telinga Raja Faisal yang kemudian memerintahkan Menteri Pertanian dan Sumber Air untuk menyelidiki masalah ini dan menghantar sampel air zam-zam ke Laboratorium-laboratorium di Eropah untuk diuji.

Tariq Hussain seorang jurutera kimia yang bekerja di Institut Penapisan Air Laut untuk diminum di Jedah, mendapat tugas menyelidikinya.

Pada masa memulakan tugasnya Tariq belum ada gambaran bagaimana telaga air zam-zam boleh menyimpan air yang begitu banyak seperti tidak ada hadnya.

Ketika sampai di dalam sumur, Tariq amat terkejut apabila melihat bahawa ukuran “kolam” telaga itu hanya 18 x 14 kaki saja (Kira-kira 5 x 4 meter).

Tidak terbayang bagaimana telaga sekecil ini boleh mengeluarkan jutaan galen air setiap kali musim haji, dan ini berlaku sejak ribuan tahun yang lalu semenjak zaman Nabi Ibrahim AS.

Penyelidikan menunjukkan bahawa mata air zam-zam boleh mengeluarkan air sebanyak 11-18 liter air per saat, dengan demikian setiap minit 660 liter air akan dihasilkan, itulah yang mengejutkan.

Tariq mula mengukur kedalaman air telaga dan meminta pembantunya masuk ke dalam air, ternyata air telaga itu hanya mencapai sedikit di atas bahu pembantunya yang tinggi tubuhnya 5 kaki 8 inci.

Lalu dia menyuruh pembantunya untuk memeriksa, apakah mungkin ada cerukan atau saluran paip di dalamnya. Setelah memeriksa dari satu tempat ke tempat lainnya, ternyata tidak menemui apapun!.

Dia berfikir mungkin sahaja air telaga ini diambil dari luar melalui saluran pam berkapisiti besar, jika itu keadaannya maka dia boleh melihat turun-naiknya permukaan air secara tiba-tiba.

Tetapi dugaannya meleset, beliau tidak menemui gerakan air yang mencurigakan, juga tidak menemui ada alat yang boleh mendatangkan air dalam jumlah besar.

Seterusnya dia minta pembantunya masuk lagi ke dalam telaga, lalu menyuruh berdiri dan diam ditempatnya sambil mengamati sekelilingnya.

Perhatikan dengan cermat dan laporkan apa yang terjadi walau sekecil apapun, setelah melakukan proses ini dengan cermat, pembantunya tiba-tiba mengangkat kedua tangannya sambil berteriak:

“Alhamdulillah, Saya temuinya ! Pasir halus menari-nari di bawah telapak kakiku, dan air itu keluar dari dasar telaga”.

Lalu pembantunya diminta berpusing mengelilingi telaga ketika tiba masa pengepaman air (untuk disalurkan ke tempat pengagihan air) berlaku. Dia merasakan bahawa air yang keluar dari dasar telaga sama besarnya seperti sebelum tempoh pengepaman.

Aliran air yang keluar besarnya sama di setiap titik di semua kawasan, ini menyebabkan permukaan telaga itu stabil tidak ada goncangan yang besar.

Mengandungi Zat Anti Kuman

Hasil penyelidikan sampel air di Eropah dan Arab Saudi menunjukkan bahawa air zam-zam mengandungi zat fluorida yang ada daya efektif membunuh kuman, sama seperti sudah mengandungi ubat.

Lalu perbezaan air zam-zam dibandingkan dengan air telaga lain di Mekah dan sekitar Arabadalah dalam hal kuantiti kalsium dan garam magnesium.

Kandungan kedua-kedua mineral itu sedikit lebih banyak pada air zam-zam, mungkin sebab itulah air zam-zam dapat menyegarkan bagi jemaah yang keletihan.

Keistimewaan lain komposisi dan rasa kandungan garamnya sentiasa stabil sentiasa sama dari sejak terbentuknya telaga ini. “Rasanya” selalu terjaga, diakui oleh semua jemaah haji danumrah yang selalu datang setiap tahun.

Boleh Menyembuhkan Penyakit

Nabi saw menjelaskan: ”Sesungguhnya, air zam-zam ini air yang sangat diberkahi, ia adalah makanan yang mengandungi gizi”.

Nabi saw menambahkan: “Air zamzam bermanfaat untuk apa saja yang diniatkan ketika meminumnya. Jika engkau minum dengan maksud agar sembuh dari penyakitmu, maka Allah menyembuhkannya. Jika engkau minum dengan maksud supaya merasa kenyang, maka Allah mengenyangkan engkau. Jika engkau meminumnya agar hilang rasa hausmu, maka Allah akan menghilangkan dahagamu itu. Ia adalah air tekanan tumit Jibril, minuman dari Allah untuk Ismail”. (HR Daruqutni, Ahmad, Ibnu Majah, dari Ibnu Abbas).

Rasulullah (saw) pernah mengambil air zam-zam dalam sebuah kendi dan bekas dari kulit, kemudian membawanya kembali ke Madinah dan Air zam-zam itu digunakan Rasulullah (saw) untuk memercikkan kepada orang sakit dan kemudian disuruh meminumnya.

Dalam penyelidikan ilmiah yang dilakukan di laboratorium Eropah, terbukti bahawa air zamzam memang lain dari yang lain. Kandungan airnya berbeza dengan telaga-telaga yang ada di sekitar Makah.

1. Kadar Kalsium dan garam Magnesiumnya lebih tinggi dibanding telaga lain, berkhasiat untuk menghilangkan rasa haus dan kesan penyembuhan.

2. Air Zam-zam juga mengandungi zat fluorida yang berkhasiat memusnahkan kuman-kuman yang terdapat dalam kandungan airnya.

3. Yang juga menakjubkan adalah tidak ada sedikit pun lumut di telaga ini. Air Zam-zam sentiasa bebas dari pencemaran kuman.

4. Ajaibnya lagi, pada masa semua telaga air di sekitar Mekah dalam keadaan kering, telaga air zam-zam tetap berair. Dan air zam-zam memang tidak pernah kering sepanjang zaman.

Beberapa ulama fiqah mencadangkan agar jemaah haji membawa air zam-zam ketika pulang ke negaranya kerana air zam-zam boleh jadi sebagai ubat untuk penyembuhan.

Ini terbukti ramai jemaah dari negara umat Islam mahupun negara lain yang pernah merasakan keajaiban air zam-zam.

Ketinggian Nabi Adam a.s

2012-08-07T01:04:00.000-07:00

“Allah menciptakan adam dengan tinggi enam puluh hasta. Kemudian setelah Adam, makhluk itu semakin berkurang tingginya seperti sekarang ini”
(HR.Bukhari), Hadis ini juga terdapat dalam riwayat Imam Muslim dan Imam Ahmad.

Berdasarkan hadis di atas, maka benarlah ketinggian Nabi Adam a.s adalah 60 hasta. 1 hasta = 45.72 cm. Jadi, tinggi Nabi Adam adalah kira-kira 27.432 meter. Hampir mencapai 30 meter.wallahu’alam.

Baju Nabi Adam A.S. Setinggi 29 meter

Baju tersebut hanyalah replika dibuat di Jeddah, Arab Saudi. Sekadar untuk melihat setinggi manakah rupa bentuk Nabi Adam A.S.

Tempoh menjahit 18 hari. Tinggi 29 meter dan lebar 9 meter..

ROCKMELT vs CHROME

2012-08-06T05:58:00.000-07:00

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internet browsing is essential. Not only information are at the finger tips across the million of miles of cable networking between the portal across the gadgets around the world created a mesh work we knew as internet, but the pleasure of establishing a social network with Facebook and Twitter has been a tremendous phenomenon in recent time. The whole internet experience is incomplete if there isn't social networking and social networking isn't fun without an internet browser that does all the thinking and talking. There are connected by a tie of need for socializing, updating and sharing among the global 2 billion internet users.

RockMelt and Google Chrome look alike but differ in functionalities

If you are reading this, let GTW tells you another reason why you should ditch your Internet Explorer or to some extent the Mozilla Firefox. While Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4 beta are making some news over their improvements, the internet users are still skeptical. Both are still widely used because there are the gold standard browsers to be beaten. Around 2008, Google introduced Google Chrome web browser, entering the game with much hypes and positive reviews for those who have been marveled by its simplicity, faster browsing experience and great notch up in performance over the gold standard. IE remains popular among 89% of the Chinese users while Google Chrome is packing steady and healthy growth since inception.

Now, enters another player - code name RockMelt. Launched about a fortnight ago, RockMelt raised the bar of social network and internet browsing to a step higher. RockMelt is a proprietary social media web browser developed by Tim Howes and Eric Vishria and backed by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen. Anyone could have remembered how IE was almost beaten by Netscape, the reason it didn't happened that time was the dominant of Microsoft in helping IE to control the market share of 95%. That was history but the history can be re-written because RockMelt is great in many angles.

Now the question is, WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GOOGLE CHROME AND ROCKMELT?

Upon the first look, there aren't much differences. Both Chrome and RockMelt are the true alternative and respectable replacement to IE. Both share the same smooth and silky Chromium interface with rounded edge and simplicity, as well as providing a larger browsing area with less toolbars to worry about. In other words, the layout is the equality for both. Any general opinions about both browsers are solely the opinions of the author. The author does not hold responsibility for any contradicting opinions from the readers.

CATEGORY 1: FIRST IMPRESSION - SIMPLE LAYOUT WITH CHROMIUM

Google Chrome layout: Chromium style - slick and simple, with variety of themes to choose on.

CHROME NOTES: Here's the comparison. First, from start up, Google Chrome is decorated with a variety of theme background that resembles Firefox since both were shared and developed by Google. The list of theme backgrounds are personal and an exquisite touch up to the browser from one artistic and abstract point of view. Other than that, the start up for Chrome is exquisite, organized thumbs and icons that arrange your favorite site ideally according to the frequency and usability. This feature has now expanded its wings to other popular browser but it all started here, while the advantage is that it is still slick and smooth.

RockMelt requires you to login before you are able to start using it. Facebook is the primary contact choice to begin with.

RockMelt resembles Chrome in many way - including the start up

ROCKMELT NOTES: In comparison, the start up for RockMelt requires the users to login into their Facebook account. To generalizes it up in a simpler sentence; RockMelt won't work if you are Facebook-blind or one who less enthusiast with the number one social networking site. Do not expect to login with Friendster or Myspace, but it is safe to assume that almost everyone has a Facebook account. However, once you are in, users are able to appreciate the same trace of Chromium taste on its start up. The icons are arranged in order and as organized as the Chrome.

VERDICT:

1) Layout personal touch - CHROME (you can tune up your own backgrounds and themes from the same archive with Firefox while RockMelt does not have the distinguish feature yet or else it is just a copycat even if they do have one) - 2 marks

2) Layout usability and access - CHROME (If you do not have Facebook, which I think some may not have, this is not the thing for you. The problem with this RockMelt is that it increases the risk of your FB accounts get jacked, I think so) - 2 marks

3) Layout simplicity - ROCKMELT (RockMelt simplify the layout further by reducing the toolbars even more. At the same time, it adds two left and right sidebar for communication on social network. It looks cool after all and does not seems to distract) - 2 marks

CATEGORY 2: I UPDATE FACEBOOK A LOT, DO YOU?

Some of us may have spent hours and hours a day hooked up to Facebook. It is still the primary site for updating status, sharing some jokes or entertaining media, sending messages and to chat, or else for amusement with the Facebook games. I admit I Facebook a lot and there isn't a day I would missed it.

Google Chrome updates and chats on the same page. Statuses are however not complete and at times you might miss some others.

CHROME NOTES: Google Chrome functions as normal as possible. Type on the address bar http://facebook.com and you are hooking in. A little bit of login and you are in. One of the most useful application on Facebook is to update your status. Head over to the status comment and you are sharing to hundreds or thousands of friends.

Updating statuses are easy with RockMelt. Right hand toolbar allows more thorough updates and simplify it. Note, I am not physically on Facebook page.

ROCKMELT NOTES: However, with the RockMelt, the hassles are simplify by the right hand side tool. Add Facebook to the edge, click on it and you can update your status right away. Please do not that the picture above shows that updates through FB is possible without even physically entering Facebook. Statuses updated and goes on for real. The right toolbar allows users to check on unread notifications and statuses without physically going into Facebook site.

Another upper-hand seen with RockMelt is that there are times the feeds on Google Chrome isn't complete. From my experience, while I am using Chrome to check on other's statuses, there are at times those left unnoticed. I realized that there are some differences on the feed timeline between Chrome and RockMelt, where the latter shows several unpublished statuses, unavailable when using the Chrome's feed.

VERDICT:

1) Loading the complete feeds - ROCKMELT (No doubt, there are always a differences between the Facebook updates on the Rockmelt and when using the normal web) - 2 marks

2) Responsiveness - CHROME (During the testing, there isn't much differences in terms of responsiveness in detecting new updates. Feeds are designed not for instant but rather it usually accumulates a few before the data are established for your notifications. However, I noticed that the RockMelt's updates are usually delayed by 2 to 5 minutes, but still has more detailed updates from silent friends.) - 2 marks

3) Concept - ROCKMELT (RockMelt is designed for distinguishing itself from normal web browser. The fact that it is ease for use is nevertheless astonishing. Rather than just hope in into your FB account, while not doing it in 'new tab' mode) - 2 marks

4) Practicality - CHROME (There isn't much to say besides you have to get use to the RockMelt's way) - 1 mark since it is not a big deal!! - 1 mark

CATEGORY 3: I CHAT WITH FACEBOOK AND 'STALK' FRIENDS

Conventional web like Google Chrome - Facebook friends search is on the lower left on the Home page

Chat as usual with Google Chrome

CHROME NOTES: Conventionally, Facebook on normal browsers like Chrome allow you to see which particular friends are online at the moment. From Home, looking at the lower left site will indicates who's around for you to chat or direct message with. It is handy and just like any other browsers, you can go and comment or chat with them just by clicking on their names.

On RockMelt, go to the left hand toolbar and you will notice the friends list who appear online on Facebook. Optionally you can also run a search.

Once you found a friend, you can just type to connect. Notice again, I am not on Facebook physically.

ROCKMELT NOTES: With RockMelt, it is a whole different method. Again, without requiring you to access Facebook physically, you can chat and write on their Walls just a simple click. This time look at your left, you will notice a left hand tool bar with lots of friend's display picture in thumb nails. Finding friends is so easy, get them on and you can chat, write on the wall and send private message right away.

VERDICT:

1) Loading the updated list of friends online - ROCKMELT (I barely notice any changes on the normal web version of Facebook when it comes to finding people who are online. RockMelt is different and it ease you to find people on the stint of the left sidebar. Much subtle and convenient.) - 2 marks

2) Chatting experience - ROCKMELT (Chatting with RockMelt styles are pretty easy to do. Plus, the chatting box are created to distinguished between your conversation and your friend's. It is easier to differentiate and much alike MSN) - 2 marks

3) Concept - ROCKMELT (Just like updating status on point 2; RockMelt is designed for distinguishing itself from normal web browser. The fact that it is ease for use is nevertheless astonishing. Rather than just hope in into your FB account, while not doing it in 'new tab' mode) - 2 marks

4) Practicality - CHROME (There isn't much to say besides you have to get use to the RockMelt's way) - 1 mark since it is not a big deal!!

THE SCORE SO FAR:

CHROME: 7

ROCKMELT: 13

ROCKMELT is in lead but can it holds itself when taking into account of Twitter? (EARLY SPOILER: Not quite!) This is the end of part one analysis on the differences between Google Chrome and RockMelt. Actually both are Chromium based and there aren't much to choose from if you consider the nature of the simple layout itself. What defines RockMelt into its own zone is that it is unique and it is a new whole experience of social networking. Stay tune for Part 2 where we covers the functionality in terms of Twitter, overall performances and technical aspects. STAY TUNE.

Ten most awesome phone ( IN PROGRESS )

2012-08-06T05:55:00.000-07:00

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mobile phone business is one of the most rapid growing industries. Not so long ago, the popular check phone was Nokia 3310 with mere basic functions: call, text messaging and the only bearable game, snake. However, significant improvement has been made since then. We now have so many variety of phones that surpasses the basic function, smart phones for example allows you to connect to social media conveniently, GPS, video conferencing etc.

What will be next? What we can expect from the next generation of handsets that will be available in the next 10 year? Some of the few features that will be built in new cell phones are OLED screen and enhancement in flexibility.

In this article we want to show you a list of creative and interesting futuristic phone concepts.

Kyocera’s Flexible, Folding Phone Concept
Kyocera’s EOS folding concept phone incorporates a flexible OLED screen, changing its form from a clamshell into something resembling a wallet or clutch-purse.

Motorolla Piccolo Concept Phone
The Piccolo Concept 1 cell phone received its design inspiration by Motorola, bringing a sexy and sleek concept that will definitely appeal to females.

Multimedia Concept Phone
Designer Jakub Lekeš tries to push the limits of phone designing with his concept. This phone has many useful features. A sliding touch screen QWERTY keyboard is concealed under the display and there is a 4.3 megapixel autofocus camera with digital zoom support on the back. The most interesting feature is the side of the phone that shows the running track.

LG Traveler Concept Phone
Created by Andrew Zheng, the handset is a thin slider with a touch screen on board and a physical button keypad. The unusual shape of the LG Traveler phone was created for better grip and this aspect gets enhanced. Thanks to rubbers grips on the side.

Eclipse Intuit Phone
Eclipse Intuit phone by Eddie Goh. It has the entire basic feature we’ve come to expect from our mobiles: powerful 5 megapixel camera with built-in software for editing and uploading pictures to photo album, slide-out touch keyboard with tactile feedback and a nice big touch screen front and center. What makes this concept unique is parts of the phone are made from a chemically based thin solar skin to charge the battery when it’s exposed to any kind of light.

The Kambala Ear-Phone
The Kambala is a mobile phone that transforms to an earphone as well. Pop the center piece and the earpiece clip pings out; clip this to your ear and you got a phone-earphone! Multilayered Polymer which hosts all the electronic components is used in its construction. A continuous flexi-screen with plenty of sensors makeup the surface and it has the ability to transmit the image on the inside of the phone to the outside.

LG Flutter Concept Phone
The LG Flutter will have an opportunity to be featured in a future blockbuster movie. The device opens up like a fan, as you can see in the image above and has a flexible OLED touch screen display that scrolls radically.

Nanokia
The designer Mac Funamizu drew on the Nokia Aeon to design a phone he would like to have. Complete with Apple’s standard livery. Using a nondescript tactile feedback technology, its surface adapts to different purposes while the e-ink screen envelops the phone in graphics and information.

Mobile Script
This phone/laptop packs a small front touch display plus a larger screen on the inside of the handset. The latter can be pulled out and become an even larger display turning the device into a mini laptop. The “Mobile Script” mobile phone does not require a power charge. Its case is covered with a nano material, converting the Sun light into the energy for your phone feed.

The true faqs : Instant noodles

2012-08-06T05:51:00.003-07:00

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For all who love eating Maggi

DO NOT IGNORE THIS ....... Especially those fond of Maggi.......

'CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES'

The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health. `Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles
into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat..

This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.

By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures of the MSG
causing it to be toxic.

The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to
excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.

CORRECT METHOD :

1. boil the noodles in a pot with water.
2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.
3.. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.
4. only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle
soup.
5. however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles and add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

Dietician's Note: If you buy plain hakka noodles which you make initially need to boil in water and discard the water. This will soften
the noodles but to prevent it from sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil and also the noodles are deep fried partially to make it crunchy and
then dusted with flour to prevent it from sticking while boiling. Hence when you buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy and this
is the type we use to make stir fry noodles and the regular maggi too is made the same way plus they add MSG/ ajinomoto and other chemical
preservatives.

A large number of patient with the ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending up with pancreatitis either as a swelling or infection of the
pancreas due to regular consumption of instant noodles..... If the frequency is more than 3 times a week, then it is very hazardous...

2012-07-27T05:37:00.000-07:00

Seorang bayi baru lahir yang ditemui dalam plastik di tempat pembuangan sampah dengan kesan kelar di leher dilaporkan semakin pulih, semalam.

Bayi perempuan itu ditemui bersama urinya yang masih melekat diselamatkan selepas seorang lelaki yang mencari barang lusuh terserempak dengan beg plastik berkenaan di bandar Anshan, Liaoning.

Penduduk tempatan menghubungi polis sebelum bayi terbabit dikejarkan ke hospital dan keadaannya dilaporkan kritikal. Seorang saksi berkata, bayi itu masih bernafas dan denyutan jantungnya dapat dilihat.

“Seluruh tubuhnya berlumuran darah akibat kesan kelar di lehernya,” katanya. Polis berkata, doktor yang merawat bayi terbabit mendapati dia mengalami kecederaan parah akibat kelaran sepanjang lima sentimeter itu.

“Luka itu begitu dalam sehingga mencederakan saluran pernafasan bayi terbabit,” katanya. Doktor pula berkata, bayi malang itu mungkin mati serta-merta jika luka berkenaan terkena lebih dalam.

Sumber berkata, bayi terbabit mungkin mangsa dasar mengehadkan setiap keluarga memiliki seorang anak yang diamalkan di China.

Ia juga mungkin didorong kecenderungan pasangan suami isteri China yang gemar memiliki anak lelaki berbanding perempuan. Dipercayai bayi berkenaan lahir pramatang dan mungkin berusia antara 32 dan 24 minggu.
