The Oxford Illustrated Companion to Medicine holds that the mention of leprosy, as well as ritualistic cures for it, were described in the Atharva-veda (1500–1200 BCE) Cataract surgery was known to the Indian physician Sushruta (6th century BCE). In India, cataract surgery was performed with a special tool called the Jabamukhi Salaka, a curved needle used to loosen the lens and push the cataract out of the field of vision.

every time theres a "did you ever know how much _________ contributed to the world?" list its almost always bullshit except this one lady and gentlemen, December 9, 1968: The Mother of All Demos The Mother of All Demos posted:"The Mother of All Demos" is a name given retrospectively to Douglas Engelbart's December 9, 1968, computer demonstration at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco. The live demonstration featured the introduction of a complete computer hardware and software system called the oN-Line System or more commonly, NLS. The 90-minute presentation essentially demonstrated almost all the fundamental elements of modern personal computing: windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor (collaborative work). Engelbart's presentation was the first to publicly demonstrate all these elements in a single system. The demonstration was highly influential and spawned similar projects at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s. The underlying technologies influenced both the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows graphical user interface operating systems in the 1980s and 1990s. and theres a russian video of a sophisticated vector graphics editing system thats still older than all this on youtube

I guess people who are impoverished and have absolutely no chance of ever advancing beyond the life of gut wrenching poverty they were born into. Oh wait, there's half of a billion of that type of person there already. I mean poor people must like it there since a 3rd of the world's poorest people all live there. But they probably get to see all that cool stuff right? India's not that big, you could walk just about anywhere. Acid Haze fucked around with this message at 01:25 on May 17, 2015 |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Swedenquote:There have been several international comparisons made, placing Sweden at the top end of the number of reported rapes. However, police procedures and legal definitions vary widely across countries, which makes it difficult to compare rape statistics.[8][9][10][11] For example, Sweden reformed its sex crime legislation and made the legal definition of rape much wider in 2005,[3][4][8][12] which largely explains a significant increase in the number of reported rapes in the ten-year period of 2004-2013.[13][14] The Swedish police also record each instance of sexual violence in every case separately, leading to an inflated number of cases compared to other countries.[8][11][15] Additionally, the Swedish police have improved the handling of rape cases, in an effort to increase the number of crimes reported.[8][14][16][17] pretty much if global rape statistics all followed the same rules for every country, Sweden would supposedly be at or near the bottom. also note the last point that you have to consider unreported rapes. regarding the USA, the justice department states 68% of rapes go unreported. how could a country that scores highest in gender equality with programs set to help fight violence against women have a high rape stat? less unreported rapes.
