In the feudal state of Chu an old man survived by keeping monkeys in his service. The people of Chu called him “ju gong” (monkey master).Each morning, the old man would assemble the monkeys in his courtyard, and order the eldest one to lead the others to the mountains to gather fruits from bushes and trees.It was the rule that each monkey had to give one-tenth of his collection to the old man. Those who failed to do so would be ruthlessly flogged. All the monkeys suffered bitterly, but dared not complain. One day, a small monkey asked the other monkeys: “Did the old man plant all the fruit trees and bushes?” The others said: “No, they grew naturally.” The small monkey further asked: “Can’t we take the fruits without the old man’s permission?” The others replied: “Yes, we all can.”The small monkey continued: “Then, why should we depend on the old man; why must we all serve him?” Before the small monkey was able to finish his statement,all the monkeys suddenly became enlightened and awak...

Where is the Suez Canal located? We learnt about the Panama Canal which is important for all types of ships. Another important man-made marvel, which holds a key position in the history is The "Suez Canal". It is located on the north of Africa, south-east of Europe. It connects the Mediterranean sea and the Red sea. Port Said is located on the Mediterranean sea & Port Suez is located on the Red sea. The picture shows the view of Suez canal from the East. At the bottom we can witness the Red sea with Port Suez at the mouth of the canal. The canal is 192 Kms long extends till Port Said at the other end of the canal, leading into the Mediterranean sea. SuezCanal History & Importance of the Canal The construction of the canal dates back to 18th century. In middle on 18th century, French Engineer, Ferdinand de Lesseps, formed a company "Suez canal company" to carry out the construction of the canal.

"If I Could Give You One Thing In My Life, I Would Give You The Ability To See Yourself Through My Eyes"

The power elite was in full swing. AS usual full, unshaken trust at "system" How so suddenly it happen? Socio economic division was rapidly increasing. The poor becomes poorer. Large number of Egyptians find it hard to fulfill the basic necessities of life. The corruption was increasing. So there was something that was preparing with the passage of time while power elite perhaps was not ready for it or unshaken trust at "system". Indeed it was mega event, a turning point in middle east, now, just now the Jordan Government sacks cabinet...............................................

"You have taken back your rights and what we have begun can not go back.... We have one main demand: the end of the regime and the beginning of a new stage, a new Egypt.... I bow to the people of Egypt in respect. I ask of you patience, change is coming in the next few days." This is the speech of Mr. Hosni Mubarak to Protesters. " Bowing to the peoples of Egypt in respect" why so much preassure, why so much frustration. Whether all this was unexpected at all, completely ignoring the power of masses or trusting, enormous trust at "system" that is "leading" the masses?

You can not stop the water, it is making own ways or it burst and wipe out every thing. Similarly injustice, use of immense power, denying the rights, very basic rights can not work for a long time. The world is changing rapidly. The minds are changing. It is different era different in many aspects. How the Leaders, the Dictators are leading their countries? Is it possible that you ignored the power of masses or you can invent new ways to stop them? Nay it is not possible at all, though your ways(more precisely the systems) were more sophisticated and took long time and efforts possibly to invent them, but now it seems those are not going to be work. The water is making its own ways. The power elite is always blind sided, can not foresee. Indeed it is misfortune.

Steven N. Kaplan, Mark M. Klebanov, and Morten Sorensen* Abstract We exploit a unique dataset to study individual characteristics of CEO candidates for companies involved in buyout and venture capital transactions and relate these characteristics to subsequent corporate performance. CEO candidates vary along two primary dimensions: one that captures general ability and another that contrasts communication and interpersonal skills with execution skills. Subsequent performance is positively related to general ability and to execution skills. The findings expand our view of CEO characteristics and types relative to previous studies.

It is wide view especially in west, US that Islam undermine the rights and image of woman and in Islam woman are as second class citizen. This post discuss such stereotype and I will try to shed light. First it should be clear that teaching of Religion Islam about woman is possibly be something different one than practical illustration or events that occurred in Islamic world . If some peoples from any Muslim country flogging some woman, it is not just consider the teaching of Islam. I mean stoning to death is a punishment that is truly teaching of Islam but Islam lay rules and severely stiff regulation for this punishment, too severely stiff regulation that practically such punishment occurred very scarcely. How is it? The Holy Quran says about it: (The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of th...

Roger Algase New York , NY December 7th, 2010 11:13 am I am a non-Muslim who researched and published an article on Islamic law many years ago, even though I cannot claim to be a specialist in this field. There are some aspects of Islamic law that are remarkably humane and progressive for their time, or even for ours, and others that are stuck in medieval backwardness, or even barbarity. But take a look at the laws in most Christian countries during the Middle Ages, or, going back further, in Israel during Biblical times. How many people today would want to live under those systems, even in Oklahoma? It is also worthy of note that some western banks or investors, including, very possibly, some US based ones (though I am not sure about this) are entering into highly sophisticated "Sharia compliant" financial transactions, especially ones that avoid direct interest charges, in order to expand their business in Muslim countries. I also understand that some US food companies may ...

AT THE CROSSROADS OF CIVILIZATION 1. The Arab Conquests: Opening or Closure [19] The global impact of the Islamic conquests has been an issue of historical debate since Henri Pirenne formulated the problem a half century ago. In Pirenne's view, the conquest of the eastern and southern shores of the Mediterranean, of Spain, and of strategic islands had shut off the mainsprings of the movement of world trade which had flourished during the late Roman times, with the result that western Europe felt an intensification of ruralization and was impelled to return to a closed, moneyless, "natural" economic system. The conquests, then, set in motion a chain of events that was, centuries later, to result in the shifting of the balance of power in Europe from the Mediterranean region northward. In fact, the Islamic conquest had more nearly the opposite effect than that posited by Pirenne: it opened the Mediterranean, previously a Roman lake, and, by connecting it with the Indian Oc...
