Information system, not an Education system!!!

What we have in India is not an "Education system" but what we can call an "Information system". Information is being fed into the minds of students and nothing else. We can't necessarily call a informed person an Educated individual. There is an subtle difference between them.So the term education system is somewhat a misnomer if we see it in Indian context. Think for yourself.

And vulture behind is just waiting for her to die. Chilling!!!!!!

Communism, Fascism and Nazism

What is the difference between Communism, Fascism and Nazism?

These are the three main ideologies for which major wars have been fought in the last 100 years or so (World War II, Cold War). But how do they differ.

Well communism has socialist and leftist leanings. Communism is associated with the soviet regime (But the base ideas of this ideology were of Karl Marx, a German).

Nazism has socialist and rightist leanings. Nazism is associated with Hitler regime in Germany.

Fascism also has socialist and rightist leanings. Fascism is associated with Mussolini regime in Italy.

 

 

So what is the difference between Fascism and Nazism if both are socialist and rightist?

Wikipedia tells us that Nazism is generally considered a form of fascism. But there are some subtle differences. More on that at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#Nazism_and_Fascism

Cheating by a person called Sai Baba

Sai Baba is observed to allegedly manifest vibuthi (holy ash) and small objects (rings, necklaces and watches) daily.But it nothing but cheating and is done through sleight of hand.This video shows his method of cheating the public in which he produces a gold chain out of air.but watch carefully.This is the footage shot by Indian TV in Hyderabad, in August 1992. This footage created a storm in the Indian press, and later was "withdrawn" by PM Narasimha Rao's influence. Sai Baba's assistant brings the memento to Sai Baba , which Sai Baba holds with both hands, the assistant is still holding the memento with both hands too. Now the devotee does namaskar to Sai Baba, and comes forward to receive the memento. From this point watch Sai Baba's right hand closely. After the devotee accepts the memento, as Sai Baba instead of releasing his right hand, moves it further towards the assistant's hand under the memento, we can clearly see Sai Baba's right hand and the right hand of Sai Baba's assistant making contact as if in a "handshake" at the moment the devotee has got the memento in both hands. Particularly note the way the assistant's right hand moves away after contacting Sai Baba's right hand... it is released in the typical manner after "putting something" with a cupped hand.

what is cancer and chemotherapy?

Cancerous Tumor

What is cancer?

Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion or by implantation into distant sites through blood or lymph (the clear fluid that bathes body cells).

Tumor or tumour literally means "swelling". However, the term is now primarily used to denote abnormal growth of tissue. This growth can be either malignant or benign.Cancer spread from the primary tumor through the lymph nodes to other sites.

Origins of cancer

Cell division or cell proliferation is a physiological process that occurs in almost all tissues and under many circumstances. Normally the balance between proliferation and programmed cell death is tightly regulated to ensure the integrity of organs and tissues. Mutations in DNA that lead to cancer disrupt these orderly processes. The uncontrolled and often rapid proliferation of cells can lead to either a benign tumor or a malignant tumor (cancer). Benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body or invade other tissues, and they are rarely a threat to life unless they extrinsically compress vital structures. Malignant tumors can invade other organs, spread to distant locations and become life-threatening.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that damages cancerous cells, causing them to stop dividing.Chemotherapy also affects normally dividing cells in the body, such as those in the skin, digestive tract and blood. For this reason, a patient may become quite sick as a result of chemotherapy treatment.

This treatment commonly has adverse side effects that may include the temporary loss of the body's natural immunity to infections, hair loss, digestive upset, and a general feeling of illness. Chemotherapy may be taken by mouth or it may be put into the body by a needle inserted into a vein or muscle.

Chemotherapy may be given in many forms including: pill, injection, or by catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells.

A very fine military strike by israel.....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Opera

Israel's fighter planes attacked Iraq's nuclear plant by flying directly from an Israeli air force, unchallenged over Jordanian and Saudi airspace, destroyed their target and came back unharmed to their country…..!!!!!!

Interesting Read......

It's quite dramatic how the Israeli commandos brought with them the Mercedes and land rovers to look like an idi amin entourage.

nice one

A bus filled with politicians was driving through the countryside one day, on the campaign trail. The bus driver, caught up in the beautiful scenery,loses control and crashes into the ditch. A farmer living nearby hears the horrible crash and rushes out to discover the wreckage. Finding the politicians, he buries them.

The next day, the police come to the farm to question the man. "So you buried all the politicians?" asked the police officer. "Were they all dead?"

The farmer answered, "Some said they weren't, but you know how politicians lie."

joke

A man walks into the toy store to get a Barbie doll for his daughter. So he asks the assistant, as you would, "How much is Barbie?"

"Well," she says, "we have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.00."

"Hey, hang on," the guy asks, "why is Divorced Barbie $265.00 when all the others are only $19.95?"

"Yeah, well, it's like this ... Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture ...
