Did you know that the flag of USA and Indonesia shared a common ancestry?
The USA stars and stripes draws inspiration from the flag of British's East India Company. USA was a British colony before it gained independence.
The British EIC flag dates back to 17th century, back then it was known as "Jack Company's gridiron".
Dr Fryer, a british historian, referred in 1673 the red and white stripes as "the East-India striped Ancient", a banner often flown by native merchant vessels in medieval south east asia.
Majapahit was a Hindu-Buddhist empire based in Eastern Java, with territory encompassing modern day Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and parts of southern Thailand. The red and white stripes was the official banner of this ancient kingdom.
Indonesia's red and white flag draws inspiration from it's ancient predecessor. Indonesian naval jack also consists of 10 alternating red and white stripes.

Does judo training session involve a lot of weight training/muscle building?

3 AnswersPregnancy8 years agoHow to scold/prevent puppy from biting hands/feet?
She's a 3 months old golden retriever puppy. I bought plenty of toys for her to chew, but sometimes she just want to bite people's feet, arm, finger. I tried to distract her from biting by putting toys in her mouth, it works for a few days, but she started to ignore the toys. Also I tried to walk away to left her alone after the bite, but she just chase and bite me until I'm out of the room, when I came back she start biting me again.
When she bites I firmly says "no!" but she just ignore that.
Sometimes It gets to my nerve, I pull her collar (lightly) and grab her neck/upper head in such position that she can't reach my hand with her mouth. It think that only makes her angry, and start biting afterward.
So what should I do?

9 AnswersVegetarian & Vegan8 years agoWhat benefit does FDI (foreign direct investments) bring to a nation's economy?
My country's economy reach 6.3% percent for the year 2012, which is 2nd highest after China. It is heavily supported by huge FDI inflow and big domestic consumption. Our export has been dwindling as result of low coal and CPO price.

Also, do you think my country's growth is sustainable or is it fragile? as in my opinion it depends so much on foreign investors' opinion?
1 AnswerEconomics8 years agoWhy does urban fashion seems to stop evolving since the 2000s?
If you take someone from the 70s and put him in the 80s, he would look really strange / out of place.
Same if If you take someone from the 80s and put him in the 90s.
Or take someone from the early 90s and put him in the 00s. They would all look like they came from the past.
But a time traveller with typical fashion of the early 00s would fit just fine in 2013? Why?
1 AnswerOther - Society & Culture8 years agoCan I sue apple for deteroriating my vision from using their iphone?
Because the way the interface is designed, it is displayed like a very small laptop screen, and it is uncomfortable to zoom in when browsing the net/safari.
Blackberry has even smaller screen, but web sites are displayed in columns, with fairly large enough character to read.
It is apple's design flaw to not utilize larger screens (like on some android phones), or arranging the websites on safari in easier to read format. If this continue I'll need to stop using iphone for browsing (which is one of my main reason to buy them in the first place), or I'll need new lens for my eyewear very soon.

6 AnswersVegetarian & Vegan8 years agoHelp me decide, imac or mac mini?
This may have been asked numerous times. I'm currently using a 2005 HP PC, with 17" monitor, keys and mouse. It's really old and slow. So it's time for new computer. I'm interested on 21.5" iMac (basic spec). It's kinda expensive for me at $1300. Then the salesperson recommend the Mac Mini. Major advantage is I can use my old monitor, keys and mouse. And the price is cheaper at $700ish. I'm also planning to move to another city nxt year, I presume it's easier to carry along the Mac Mini?
The 21.5" iMac, is much more aesthetically pleasing, less clutter than separate monitor and CPU. And obviously the interface (monitor, keys, mouse) is modern and much better.
I'm an amateur musician, so I will mainly use it for recording (garageband), listening to music, and some browsing.
So, which one would you pick if you're in my situation?
4 AnswersDesktops8 years agoKenapa ajaran Muhammad dan Yesus berbeda 180 derajat?
Di salah satu kisah di alquran tertulis
Suatu hari ada pasangan yahudi yang ditangkap sedang berzinah, kemudian dibawa ramai ramai ke hadapan Muhammad, pemuka agama yahudi bertanya, apa yang harus dilakukan kepada pasangan ini? Jawab muhammad: lakukanlah seperti tertulis di kitab taurat, mereka harus dirajam (dilempari batu) sampai mati. Maka pasangan itu dihukum mati.
Di salah satu kisan di alkitan tertulis
Suatu hari ada seorang janda yang ditangkap sedang berzinah, kemudian ramai ramai dibawa ke hadapan Yesus, lalu pemuka agama yahudi bertanya, apa yang harus dilakukan ke perempuan ini? Menurut kitab taurat dia harus dihukum mati.
Jawab Yesus: barangsiapa yang tidak pernah berdosa, silahkan dia yang melempar batu pertama kali ke perempuan ini. Maka semua orang tidak ada yang berani, dan mereka bubar.
Yesus lalu mengampuni dosa perempuan itu dan berpesan agar jangan berbuat dosa lagi.
Pertanyaan saya, kalau alquran mengaku sebagai kelanjutan dari ajaran Yesus, kenapa bisa ajarannnya begitu bertolak belakang?
Apakah ini yang jadi alasan ada grup seperti FPI, karena di Islam ianjurkan untuk menghakimi orang lain?
13 AnswersAgama & Kepercayaan8 years agoWhat do you think of my trading strategy?
There are some stocks in the market that are already bullish for quite some time, it can last for days, weeks, even months. I'll just buy that stocks and only sell them if there are strange movement that may signal a reversal/plateau. There is less risk than by looking at indicators for signs of reversals on bearish stocks, it may be a fake signal/failed reversal. So what do you think? What indicator can I use to measure upward momentum, how reliable are they?
