It is the center for many industrial, commercial, and IT establishments blended with ancient structures and traditions which provide glimpses of splendid history of the city. Hyderabad with a history of over 400 years, is rich in diverse cultures.

The history of Hyderabad begins in 1512 after Quli Qutb Shah seized power from Bahamani kingdom and established the fortress city and kingdom of Golconda. Golconda was later named as Hyderabad after the name of Hyder Mahal, wife of Quli Qutb Shah. All the seven rulers of the Qutb Shahi dynasty were great builders, who contributed to the growth and development of Indo-Persian and Indo-Islamic literature and culture in the city. Hyderabad became one of the leading markets of diamonds, pearls, steel for arms and printed fabric during the reign of Qutb Shahi. They ruled the Deccan nearly for 171 years.

The glory, fame and abundant prosperity of Hyderabad attracted the powerful Mughal emperor Aurangazeb to attack Hyderabad. After a long eight month seize, Aurangazeb captured Hyderabad in 1687. Aurangazeb expanded his Mughal empire covering the entire sub continent. However his empire rapidly declined after his death in 1707.

Mir Quamaruddin, the then Governor of the Deccan established Asif Jahi dynasty in 1724 and declared independence from Mughal rule. Asif Jahi dynasty ruled right up to 1948 nearly for 224 years. During this period Persian, Urdu, Telugu, and Marathi developed simultaneously. Irrespective of their religion, deserving persons were given highest official positions. Nizam won friendship with British and French and continued to rule. The Nizams contributed to the growth and development of Hyderabad both economically and culturally. They built huge reservoirs like the Nizam Sagar, Tungabadra, Osman Sagar and Himayath Sagar. The state had its own currency, mint, postal system and railways.

Hyderabad became the capital city of Andhra Pradesh on November 1, 1956. Today it is called as Greater Hyderabad and has grown from 175 sq.km. To 650 sq.km. It is regarded as a major IT hub as many IT and ITES have set up their operations here. It has numerous fortune 500 companies. Hyderabad has three central universities, two deemed universities and six state universities. It is the financial and economical capital of the state.

The history of Hyderabad is rich and diverse. As many different dynasties ruled the city, many diversified monuments, cultures, and traditions have evolved. And Hyderabadis have developed a distinct culture, which is a mixture of both ancient Hindu and Islamic cultures.

The Republic of Hungary (in Hungarian, Magyar K鰖t醨sas醙) is a central European country which is part of the European Union whose currency is the forint (EU)

The Republic of Hungary (in Hungarian, Magyar K鰖t醨sas醙) is a central European country which is part of the European Union whose currency is the forint (EU). It borders Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. It is locally called Land of the Magyars or Magyarorsz醙. Along with Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic, a member of the Visegrad group of nations.
The Magyars (Hungarians called in most Western countries) were a people organized into a principality, features nomads from the plains of West Asia, until his emigration to central Europe in the late ninth century, when they settled in present-day Hungary. This long journey and relationship with the Huns about being described in countless ways and in various legends, such as the brothers' Hunor and Magor.

The Hungarian Principality was composed of several tribes of the same language and under the command of two princes, was for this that just was called dual Hungarian Principality. One of the chief was entitled "Kende", it was the religious leader of the Hungarians and their symbol was the sun, the other Prince held the title of "Gyula", and was the military leader of the Hungarians, under the symbol of the moon.

By the early ninth century, the Hungarian Principality was already advancing from Levedia region, was under the influence of the Khazar Kanganato, a Turkic ethnic group state, which was located in Eurasia, north of the Black Sea. Before a civil war around the year 830, the Hungarian tribes moved westward, heading for Eastern Europe and arrived in the region known as the land between two rivers (in Hungarian: Etelk鰖). His stay in this region would not be very long, since the attacks in 854 Pechenegs force them to continue moving toward the west. By the time the trip through k鰖 Etel, it was estimated that kendo and Levedi Prince Prince Prince was Gyula 羖mos.

The Principality would originally composed of seven Hungarian tribes and at one point in its history prior to arrival at the present Hungarian territory, its leaders 羖mos, El鰀, Kond, Tas, Huba, Ond T鰄鰐鰊 and would make a blood pact, recognizing them all as equal (as a single tribe) while wholly subject to a single leader, 羖mos and nation. It is estimated that by this time, real power lay in the Principality in the figure of Gyula, thus 羖mos, and later his son 羠p醖 would be those that lead to the Hungarian people to the Carpathian basin.
The Hungarians have been led from Asia to the Carpathian basin by Prince 羖mos, which in religious ceremonies and the legend "by their own volition" was sacrificed for future victories, before crossing the Carpathian mountains. Arpad, son of Prince 羖mos, would take command of the Principality and the tribes, commanding the entrance to the Carpathian Basin of Hungarian troops. These soldiers would find the domain of the Moravian Prince Svatopluk, found in the north of the Carpathian region and in the territory of present Slovakia. In 894 will sign a partnership, where the Magyars maintained a hostile stance against the Franks. Arpad send a sacred white horse as an offering to the Moravian prince, and soon would die Svatopluk, leaving inheritance problems among their children. In the year 895, Prince 羠p醖 lead the main army of Hungarians in the Carpathian Basin, crossing these mountains by the passage of Verecke (Hungarian: Vereckei-do). While the decline took place between the mountains, rear Hungarian troops would be attacked by the armies of Tsar Simeon I of Bulgaria (this onslaught of the czar was because a year earlier, the Hungarians would have attended the Byzantine emperor in a campaign against the Bulgarians , being led by the Princes and Kursz醤 APRAD).

In 896 the Hungarians settled around the river Tisza and then in March 899, in alliance with the king of East Francia, Arnulf of Carinthia, the armies of Italy and beat inviadieron Arpad King Berengar of Friuli. After this, they recognized the lordship Arnulfo the Hungarians on the land of Pannonia. Thus, in 901 settled around the Balaton, subsequently also partially occupied eastern Austria and southwestern Slovakia, to cover the entire Carpathian basin, also known under the name of the Pannonian Basin. Hungarian armies in 902 attacked the Moravian Principality and achieved great tear down the remains of the deceased Svatopluk domains. Under the leadership of Arpad begin, then, to venture across Europe including the territories of present Austria, Switzerland, southern France and the Italic and Iberian Peninsula.

First off, here are a few things not to do....
* Do not call them or message them constantly
* Do not stalk them
* Don't stay home and be sad and cry
* Do not try to go and pick up someone at a bar
* Don't get depressed
Here are some things that you should be doing....
* Go out for an evening with some of your friends
* Get yourself into better shape
* Give your ex space to be alone
* Get out and get some sun and read a book
* Do go out and make some friends and meet new people
The one big thing that will push your ex even farther away from you is clingyness. Give your ex some room to breathe. If they don't want to hear from you, don't call them! Leave them alone. This is something I used often- and I love this saying. Give them the best gift of all...
Give them the gift of missing you!
Powerful stuff isnt it? When someone cannot have something, they want it more. It's simply the law of attraction. Also, if that someone see's that person being enjoyed by another, that also makes them want that person more and this is where not being available, not sitting by the phone and going out makes a big difference.

Noting can turn a person off on this planet more than someone who's desperate. No one wants to be with anyone who is desperate to be with them. It isn't romantic, but it IS scary!
Stay positive and positive things will happen in your life.

Distance learning is not new at all, but has become increasingly popular with the introduction of the Internet and the advancement of technology

Distance learning is not new at all, but has become increasingly popular with the introduction of the Internet and the advancement of technology. You no longer have to attend college in the traditional way in order to get an education. Getting a online degree has become a respected alternative. If on campus classes are not right for your lifestyle, then you can obtain your degree from an online school. About 85% of four-year colleges in the United States offer online classes, which means that you can study virtually any subject you want from almost any college you want. More and more students are taking an unconventional approach to their studies. Some people are choosing to enter the workforce after high school, only to return to college later as mature students. Other students prefer to only study part-time. While getting a degree education online is not for everyone it is always worth looking at. Always make sure it is an online accredited degree program.

It is estimated that these students outnumber those who take the more 鈥渢raditional鈥?approach to studying. Millions of people enroll in online schools each year because they are a practical and convenient alternative to the norm. In fact, statistics indicate that in 2006, 3.2 million Americans were taking at least one online course. You can earn a variety of degrees via distance learning. You can earn an online bachelor degree or even an online masters degree if you are a dedicated and ambitious student.

An online college degree program is not cheap, but when you factor in the saved costs of travel expenses and living on campus, it can be more affordable. The cost of internet courses is less at public schools than at private colleges. The average cost of an online bachelor鈥檚 degree is about $15,000. Of course, this will vary from school to school. On April 1, 2006, Congress passed legislation to remove the 鈥?0 percent rule.鈥?The rule had stated that at least 50% of courses delivered by colleges had to be face-to-face. Now that this law has been struck down, it has enabled greater access to distance learning. The decision reflects Congress鈥?recognition that on line education is the way of the future and should be embraced. In coming years, we can expect to see even more programs offered over the Internet. Already, we are seeing groundbreaking changes. Medical students can now obtain part of their online degree over the Internet, and at certain schools, law students can obtain their entire Bachelor of Law degree on line.

It has also been stated that students who study online are able to retain up to 50% more of what they have learned than on campus students. Part of this might be due to the fact that online students must be driven, determined, hard-working, and responsible in order to succeed. If you are considering entering an online degree program, make sure that the school you enroll at is reputable, and that you will end up with authentic credentials. Ensure that the college or university is accredited by an organization that is recognized by the United States Department of Education. A good rule of thumb is that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. That said, there are many accredited and well-respected institutions that allow you to earn your degree online. Distance education has benefited lots of people, and chances are it can work for you, too.
