1. Start by making a good CV (academic).

2. Also prepare and give IELTS/TOEFL/GRE (whichever you prefer as it depends upon the requirements of university / country) but is necessary to gain admission in high /good ranking universities. Good scores are must as average will not do much in gaining scholarship.

3. Make all your education documents in order that is transcripts, degree certificates, attestations of all the degrees and transcripts by HEC etc. Up-to-date and correct travel documents like CNIC, Passport, Police verifications, health certificates etc.

4. Prepare statement of interest/ motivation also prepare answers to some basic questions;(why u want do this degree from abroad, what skills will this degree bring to you, where do u see yourself in 5 years from now, how would you contribute to country once you return back etc etc.) to help u fill applications / pass interview. (u can also search a file uploaded by me with name typical interview questions)

5. Select 2 to 3 subjects of your interests (if u r masters student) and /or Outline basic research proposal if research student (at this stage it should be for yourself to be clear which area u want to study ahead and u become familiar with issues and current ongoing work in the area ... u can always modify this later according to changes required e.g. after discussing with Professor ... this is also necessary to create good impression with your prospective supervisor when u discuss your intentions) this should be made even if u r applying for non-research degree to know about the background area of your interested subject.

6. In light of above subjects /outlined proposal, target universities / departments u want to do your studies from (to know their specific eligibility criteria) ... try collecting all the materials required for admission and apply in it to get admission offer.. some scholarships require that candidates already holds a admission offer.

7. Search interested universities websites, if these universities offer scholarships / funding (note most of the universities offer them but they are very competitive).

8. Also look for other scholarships that are offered by Government / International organization e.g. Commonwealth scholarship, DAAD & Fulbright, Vanier Canada, Singa Scholarships, Endeavour Scholarships, Türkiye Bursları scholarships, Twain Scholarships, Korean scholarships, Chinese scholarships, Bestway Foundation scholarship, Anne Marie Schimmel Scholarships, Vicky Noon Oxford University scholarship, Strathclyde-Pakistan50th Anniversary Scholarship etc … for these scholarships go to donor / sponsors/ university website as usually they open between May - Nov. You may also target those universities that offer scholarships to international students e.g. in UK many universities like Uni of Manchester, Uni of Bath, Edinburgh Uni, Kings College, Queens University Belfast, Cardiff University etc offer once a year.

9. Fill in the forms carefully & proof read (no spelling mistakes, no formatting mistakes and all required documents in order). A good scholarship application takes minimum 2-3 weeks to get ready.

10. Be prepared for investing time, hard work and rejections but don't lose hope and be persistent - it normally takes between 6 months to 2 yrs to get one.

Understand the power of Online courses

The new online courses known as MOOCs. The time has come, when degrees names and titles will lose their values and only the skills will matter. Even you do not have a degree but have skills, then you will earn much than just degree holders. MOOCs are fulfilling this purpose to teach you such skills. Because you will learn from the best of the best teachers in online courses and free of cost mostly and will learn only if you have the urge to learn as no one will push you to do the course as done in universities in semester system and you will earn the skill for lifetime in any major/area even personal development. You low CGPA in degree can easily be covered by MOOCs. As MOOCs results/certificates show you that you have learned from the best teachers and have scored good in them, so you have learned a good skill.

“The idea is simple: to publish all of our course materials online and make them widely available to everyone.”

Dick K.P. Yue, Professor, MIT School of Engineering

*Scholarship Network's One of the Best Campaigns

Italian PhD Scholarships File Version 03, 2020 on 18th March, 2020

Dear all, we are starting again the file system of funded PhD offers at Italy. Last year, this file had above 25 versions and more than 500 PhD offers in almost every field. Hundreds of Pakistanis won PhD from the information given in the list. So, we are starting today from its first version and further versions of it will be posting from time to time.

**** I can now safely say that we have much better search database/list of PhD positions in Italian universities than most famous Euraxess etc, or even Italian's own PhD search Engines.*

***Management, Accounting, Social Sciences, Physiotherapy, Medical research, technical and Sciences people should focus. Almost every field offered or will be offered. Open the links and check yourself in future as well. Keep track of the upcoming future versions as well. Maybe you can find your major in future versions

***Why we say apply for PhD in Italy?

As most of these advertisements are not posted on International Scholarship websites/ places/blogs etc. So, most people at international level cannot find such opportunities. But at Scholarship Network, we find such opportunities, compile them and share in this group, where 99 percent are Pakistanis. So, when Pakistanis mostly apply for them as compared to other nationalities as a result Pakistanis get the positions. Moreover, most of the PhD positions do not require IELTS/ TOEFL*

FaQs

IELTS/ TOEFL required:

Answer: Read the file. Already answered this question there. It is not required

I am from xyz field. I cannot find my field in it.

Answer: Almost every field is there. Look again carefully before commenting

Do see Dr. Shah Nawaz post regarding help in applying for it

China 2020 for Masters & PhD Scholarships

اے چائنہ... تیرے چاہنے والوں کی خیر..!

Dear all, You can see Power/Worth of studying in China. The US news Educational Ranking of Universities is out now and you noticed that Tsinghua university, China is on No. 1, crossing MIT in Engineering & Computer Science subjects rankings again

Apply for Chinese top ranked universities and studying in top university at China is same as you are studying in US. Countries in the world except Pakistan will give your Chinese degree a worth due to university rankings.

See China Agriculture University on 4th position in Agricultural Sciences rankings and Fudan University China on 4th position in Material Sciences subjects as well

Chinese Govt. Scholarship 2020 in almost every fields such as arts, social sciences, engineering, medical, sciences etc

The Chinese Govt. Scholarships application deadlines vary from university to university until 31 March, 2020

This opportunity is also for the people who belong to Non technical majors specially. So, they must focus on this post as this will help them alot

==========================================

Why China ?

1) 10 Chinese universities are in top 100 universities rankings in every list such QS rankings, Shanghai Rankings etc and more than 20 Chinese universities are in top 200 universities in the world

You can use any of the 05 rankings websites below and target your universities from rankings

05 rankings are

a)https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2020/world-ranking

b) http://www.webometrics.info/en

c) http://www.shanghairanking.com/

d)https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2020

e) https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/rankings

2) This news is quite famous, when Tsinghua university,China leaves behind MIT, USA in rankings. You can guess from it that if an university can leave behind MIT, then how much great education will be in that university

https://goo.gl/jPPn5M

3) Studying in top universities is same as you study in US or China

4) So, you people still plan for MIT, Stanford, when you have options of top and better universities in China e.g., Tsinghua, Peking, Shanghai Jiao Tong, Fudan, UST, Nanjing etc universities. Also other universities in China are in good rankings.

See any world universities rankings websites such as QS , webometrics, US news. You will find Chinese Universities on top in any kind of fields/subjects

5) ** The masters program in China is research based. So you get a good research profile at the end of masters. This research based profile with publications will help you alot to get good PhD positions in Europe, USA, and other places.

6) Also people from all majors and specially uncommon/non technical majors such as business, social sciences, arts etc can try to apply for CSC and other scholarships in China. They must target top universities in their fields especially in their subjects, which they can check from rankings.

7) You can also try to find best professors in China by using the list of highly cited researchers and if they agree to supervise you then you have best chances of making a best research profile for yourself by working in their labs

Here you can find the list of highly cited researchers

https://goo.gl/IsPSDZ

8) Regarding getting jobs Internationally after getting degree from China. You can see QS Global Employability Rankings of universities in 2020. You can see 05 universities in top 50 universities regarding Employability Rankings (Employability rankings means that students have highest chances of getting jobs after getting degree from such universities)

https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/employability-rankings/2020

============================================

*** Warning: But make up your mind before applying for China. As if you leave your accepted positions in China after doing all the process, it will make professors think, Pakistanis are not good people. So, dun do bad for your junior fellows. Target top ranked universities, so you will have no problem in joining them happily

=============================================

1) For chinese govt. scholarship, you need to contact professors to get acceptance to be his student/lab student in Masters or PhD

2) Do not go for multiple acceptances from Chinese professor. Only target one professor and get single acceptance and apply as getting multiple acceptances and then denying them makes professors to think Pakistanis dun fulfill their promises. So it badly affects the selection of your Pakistani brothers and sisters in next years

3) Game changing habit: Everyone in the world asks Chinese Professors directly for acceptances. Instead you first convince the Chinese Professor by linking your work/degree to his work/area in a good way and if he is convinced your profile. Then, ask for acceptance letters

===========================================

Now what to do ?

1) Use GOOGLE.

2) Join below all below groups and pages and follow guidelines and ask questions there. All of the groups mentioned below will guide you well. Also follow last year guides, they will be same in this year as well

About a three-hour drive from north Korea's capital, Pyongyang, lies what might be the world's most isolated ski resort. Masik Pass offers 11 runs and 4 lifts plus a gear rental shop. The attached luxury hotel features 120 rooms, complete with a swimming pool, sauna, bar and karaoke room.

Snowmobiles were imported from China and chair lifts from Austria, after a Swiss company refused to sell them, which North Korea called a “serious human rights abuse”. The resort has four and a half stars on Trip Advisor from genuine, happy tourists. Most of its visitors, however, come from within North Korea. While the country is almost exclusively portrayed as a poor, starved relic of the past, recent reports from defectors have begun to paint a much more nuanced picture. In reality, Pyongyang cafes are filled with patrons reading from tablets and teenagers making phone calls, some driving BMW's and Mercedes. The key to understanding who is really in charge, whether a revolution will ever occur, and what daily life is like, is to see how North Korea - both the state and the people within it - make money.

After Swiss cheese, bad haircuts, and empty buildings, North Korea is best known for seemingly wanting to end the human race in a giant nuclear explosion. When Kim Jong un-finds his country unusually hungry or one of his yachts, in need of repairs, the country turns into that annoying kid on the playground who will not shut up until you share your hot Cheetos. Insults are hurled, threats made, and missiles launched.

Inevitably the U. S. sees no choice but to respond, agreeing to ease sanctions or grant food aid in exchange for a return to normalcy. Now, with their mouths freshly fed, Kim and his compatriots will suddenly turn from murderous dictators to charming, levelheaded, although admittedly, stylistically eccentric diplomats. Then the six, twelve, eighteen months later, like clockwork, we’ll all have Deja Vu. But while Kim’s seeming obsession with nuclear toys attracts nearly all the media attention, in reality, it's just one of many strategies the world's most secretive regime has for accomplishing its much larger goal: staying alive. The fundamental challenge for North Korea is that it cannot truly, verifiably, and permanently give up its nuclear capabilities Without becoming, at best irrelevant. At the same time, it cannot truly thrive with the level of international sanctions that come with threatening to sink an entire U.S. state. Thus, all three generations of leadership have been forced to master the art of negotiation: to extracted just enough aid to stay afloat well never actually giving up its one and only source of leverage.

Before founding the democratic people's Republic of Korea Kim Il Sung was an unlikely leader. Having fought alongside Chinese communists and later in the Soviet army the first Kim with well-prepared, militarily, but lacked the softer skills considered necessary to oversee a communist Republic. His education was poor, Korean mediocre and understanding of Marxist theory deemed insufficient. Despite this initial hesitation, he was eventually selected to lead the new state, although, with much oversight. Soviet advisors drafted north Korea's constitution and approved all its major speeches in advance, making it a near-perfect puppet state, or, in gentler terms, a “Soviet Satellite Regime”.

By the end of the Korean War, Kim Il sung had become a national hero and icon - praise which fueled grander ambitions. His devotion to socialism soon morphed into a strong sense of nationalism - a desire to be more than Moscow or Beijing's puppet. Many Soviet officers were purged from government positions and for several decades, North Korea intentionally positioned itself between the Soviet Union and China, realizing it could play them off each other. Whatever Moscow gave or promised, Beijing was sure to match, and then some, and vice versa. Both countries knew they were being played, of course, but preferred this to the far worse alternative: ceding influence on the other. This dynamic of reluctant support, in fact, has more less continued to this day. Conventional wisdom portrays China as North Korea's only ally, or even puppet state. The reality is North Korea hasn't been a true puppet state for many decades, and with China, it has less a marriage and more an opportunistic relationship. China’s strategic interests overlap with north Korea's continued existence, not necessarily success or prosperity. At the base level what Beijing wants is nothing – stability. By far, its worst-case scenario is a dissolved or failed North Korea, after which, up to 25 million, unskilled, culturally dissimilar refugees will flood into some of its most economically weak North-Eastern provinces. Even worse would be the accompanying advance of American forces on China's doorstep.

The north, in other words, acts as a nice buffer from U.S. troops stationed in the south. As long as the North doesn't push tensions too high, China is happy more less maintaining the status quo. Ideally it would like to see Kim Jong unfollow its own example of economic reform and opening up, making it less dependent on nuclear threats for survival, and potentially justifying a retreat by American forces. Realistically, though, China also knows its influence is limited. China is indeed North Korea's largest trade partner, by a mile, but it's easy to overstate the leverage from trade with a country whose propaganda can offset almost any internal challenge.

In simple terms, Beijing could destroy North Korea - militarily or economically. It almost certainly also has a plan for regime change should it ever be deemed necessary. What it lacks is the fine-grained ability to influence it. And because China wants stability first and foremost, it has no reason, currently, to use its blunt weapon, leaving it with limited leverage. So, while there exists a clear power dynamic between the two nations, neither is likely to do anything too dramatic.

When Kim met with Xi Jinping in 2018, the supreme leader was seen obediently taking notes while the Chinese president spoke. China has historically condemned its missile tests and voted in favor of UN sanctions. And yet Xi recently made the first visit to Pyongyang by a Chinese leader in 14 years. North Korea, for its part, understands the need to, at a minimum, not anger the closest thing it has to a friend. It's all too familiar with the cost of losing an ally. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, North Korea suffered a devastating famine which ultimately killed somewhere between 200,000 and three million people. Before this, food was distributed via its Public Distribution System - PDS - which had formers surrender their harvest to the government, who then allocated it amongst the population. This model worked well during the 50s, 60s, and 70s even making Chinese towns on the border jealous. In the 80s and 90s, however, the system came violently crashing down. 450 grams of food rations per day in 1994 became 128 grams by 1997. Soon only six percent of the population received any food from the government who promised to feed it. This, arguably, was the most pivotal moment in the nation's history, alongside the deaths of its first two leaders. The PDS has never fully recovered, leaving most of its 25 million people to fend for themselves. Officially, Capitalism doesn't exist here - private property and trade are both highly illegal. In practice, however, it can be seen everywhere - from those in poverty all the way to the highest levels of the regime. Almost everyone is assigned a government job, and yet 62% of defectors surveyed in 2010 say they had worked unofficial, gray market jobs. Married women can register as full-time housewives rather than work an official job - giving them the freedom to start a private enterprise. Across the country, women can be seen in roadside markets selling food, and homemade or imported goods like Russian cigarettes and Chinese beer. Ironically, Because of this women's rights are surprisingly strong in North Korea, where they tend to make many multiples of their husband’s income.

As expected, the government is aware of this illegal activity and could, in theory, eliminate it entirely. But having never recovered from a now-three decade-old famine, most of the population has come to depend on private markets for basic survival. Additionally, the majority of this trade is conducted purely for material, not political, reasons. The poor simply wish to get by and the rich only seeking more luxurious life - not an end to the regime.

So the state simultaneously manages my markets through selective enforcement and also sometimes even encourages it. The “August 3rd rule”, for example, allows one to pay a fee and be exempted from official work - essentially profiting from instead of cracking down on private enterprise. Still, there are limits.

North Korean bank notes were ordered to be exchanged in 2009 with a limit of 100,000 won per person - wiping out many family savings and causing the closest thing North Korea has likely ever seen to a protest. This taught north Koreans not to trust their own currency. So, today, most unofficial transactions involve a foreign currency - usually the Chinese yuan. And just as individuals resort to capitalism - so do government committees and departments.

For decades, many offices have been given limited or no resources, forcing them to generate their own. Anyone with any authority, therefore, is likely to use their influence to start a business, sometimes using the national military as workers. Those who bribe the right people and play the game well can become fabulously rich - even by international standards. These newly wealthy families drive luxury cars, own cell phones and eat western food in Pyongyang, which some jokingly refer to as the “Dubai” of North Korea.

In this way, and many others, North Korea is two very different countries: the north Korea seen by the outside world, and the one that lived by the vast majority of its population. The North Korea of tall buildings and bright lights you see in tours and pictures, and the one, only minutes away, of sprawling fields and flickering, if any, electricity. The famous monument to socialism, and the private shops selling Western clothes only blocks away.

And finally, an unwavering ally, on the surface, who, in reality, is, at best, ambivalent. For now, the system works. Inevitably, though, someday in the future, like the Soviet-era machines on which its factories run, North Korea will simply stop working - for any number of potentially trivial reasons.

In truth, it’s remarkable how long it has worked. But, for the time being, this tapes together, occasionally in need of kicking, jury-rigged machine keeps slowly, inefficiently chugging along.

For all its strangeness, the genius of North Korea, the reason for its survival - is its relative self-sufficiency. It knows how little say a small nation like itself has in the larger world.

Hi Guys, thanks for being here on PapoNika.com According to what we learned in school those days English chemist and physicist John Dalton who was born in the late 18th century. He is the man credited by modern science with the development of the atomic theory. 

However, it might be surprising for many people today to know that the concept of atoms was actually formulated by an Indian sage and philosopher nearly 600 years prior to the birth of Christ were 2,500 years before Dalton achieved this scientific breakthrough during his time. This Indian sage and philosopher was known as Acharya could not and some consider him as the actual father of atomic theory. Acharya Kidada was born around 600 or 800 BC in Praha Sitra located near to akka in present-day Gujarat India. His real name was actually Kashyap and was the son of a philosopher named oka. Since, childhood Kashyap displayed a very keen sense of detail and was fascinated by the most minute things. 

Well, he was only a young boy. He was accompanied his father on a pilgrimage to pray Yaga. He noticed thousands of programs in the town were littering the roads with flowers and grains of rice. They offered at the temples by the shore of the river Ganges. The tiny particles attracted Kashyap's attention and he began to collect the grains of rice from the ground while everybody else busied themselves with offering prayers were bathing in the Ganges River. The crowd eventually noticed his peculiar behavior and wondered why he was so fascinated with the grains of rice. When they asked him about it Kashyap replied that though a single grain of rice may seem worthless on its own. A collection of hundreds of them could make up a person's meal. 

This meant a collection of meals could feed a family and ultimately mankind. For those reasons alone he believed that a single grain of rice was just as important as all the riches in the world. After this incident people started calling him Kannada as kana in Sanskrit means the smallest particle. Kannada pursued his interest with the unseen world and dedicated his life to conceptualizing the idea of the smallest particle. He wrote down his views and eventually passed on his knowledge to others. People began calling him Achaia or the teacher. Hence the name Acharya Kanade which means the teacher of small particles. 

Kannada is believed by many to be the first to have realized the idea as an indestructible part of all matter. The theory occurred two cannot watch. He was walking with food in his hand and he was breaking it into small pieces. He nibbled at the food in his hand until he was no longer able to break it down to smaller pieces it was then that he realized that he could not divide the food into further parts and conceptualize the idea of the particle that could not be divided any further. He called that indivisible particle Parmanu or Anu which literally means atom. Kanada thought of the atoms as minute objects that are invisible to the naked eye and considered it indestructible and hence eternal.

He also theorized that a Parmanu had an inherent urge to combine with another Parmanu. He also explained that combining two belonging to the same class would create a twin new binary molecule. The binary molecule would contain similar properties to the two original partners. It was made of Kannada. 

Suggested further that it was the different combinations of Parmanu which produced various types of substances. He also brought forth the idea that atoms could be combined in a variety of ways to produce chemical changes while in the presence of other factors such as heat. He used the blackening of Earth's paws as well as the ripening of fruits as examples of this phenomena. To teach his ideas about the atom in the nature of the universe Kanada founded device chicas school of philosophy. He also wrote a book called “Vichy chic Darshan” which presented all of his research. Several members of the academic community, particularly in India, recognized Kannada as among the sages of ancient times who made significant contributions to modern science. Some of them have even taken steps to have his name included in mainstream education. 

However, a recognition of ganas a new theory as the first plausible atomic theory over Dalton scientific approach remains controversial while many recognize chaos perspective on the physical structure of the universe as an impressive metaphysical philosophy. Some maintain that it does not qualify as a scientific theory because it is not at all empirical. Kanada’s idea of the atom was not attempting to rationally explain an empirical law. It did not carry an explanatory burden and was just a speculative thesis. Hence, many argue that it would be outrageous to place it in the same league with existing modern scientific theories about atoms. 

Though the widely accepted atomic theory today is different from the one dalton presented. Dalton’s theory is still considered to be the first scientific theory of atoms because it was attempting to rationally explain an empirical law. Although the atomic theory of Kanada may not be considered empirical and while its official place in the field of modern science is still heavily debated. Its philosophical and cultural merits cannot be disputed. Though history of the atom was abstract and leaned towards philosophy and logic rather than personal experience or experimentation. 

It is praised even in modern times as a brilliant and imaginative explanation of the physical structure of the world and for largely agreeing with the discoveries of modern physics. Personally I love topics like this because I think we don't give our ancestors enough credit because if you think about it in recent history, everything is documented so much better than it was back then and throughout the thousands of years of war and conflict so many great books writings documents have been lost. 

So, we really don't know what our ancestors really came up with. So there could be literally hundreds or even thousands or tens of thousands of modern creations that our ancestors have already conceptualized even back then. For example, we all think Galileo invented the telescope but there has been evidence suggesting that the telescope was actually invented thousands of years ago or even millions of years ago. If you believe in prehistoric civilizations. 

Anyway, I thought this topic was really interesting if you guys liked it please comment below. I would really appreciate that thank you so much for reading. See you later.

When the word CONMAN is mentioned, we may think of Charles Ponzi, the original creator of the pyramid was Ponzi Scheme work. Bernie made off, who made headlines for orchestrating, one of the largest financial fraud in history, were even more recently the Nigerian prince who keeps promising to send you free cash. But these guys would have been potter wants to a man named Gregor MacGregor, who is the jet master of cars in the early 1800. Because he convinced all of England and Scotland that he was the prince of get this a made up country called Poyais. This all started back in 1811 when a young McGregor decided to travel to South America and fight in the Venezuelan war of independence. Sometimes for and sometimes against the spring in Portugal. McGregor excelled in battling quickly rose to the ranks.  After a decade of fighting, McGregor landed in an area on the East coast of Honduras called the mosquito coast, named after the Miskito Indians who lived there. But it might as well be named after those little plus a few spots of Satan. Because that area was nothing but a pest rating swap. After a lot of persuasion in a lot of alcohol, McGregor managed to persuade the local king Frederick Augustus to sign over 12500 sq. miles of the lean to him.  After that McGregor sailed to England, where people were just trying to get over than they Pollyanna had just ravaged Europe. McGregor then told the people of England and Scotland that he was dubbed the principal for Hoya by king Augustus and told everybody that that piece of swamp of his was actually a wondrous land where crops could harvest multiple times a year, where trees were overflowing with fruit, river banks were lined with gold and basically unicorns were popping out rainbows on a daily basis.  Okay, he didn't actually say that last part but he might as well have because he hacked up hopeful people of England and Scotland. Thinking that this was the promised land, he even showed everyone a handbook and guided to the mosquito sure for the use of perspective colonists created by a person named Captain Thomas. Strangways who praised the beauty of Poyais because while Strangways was actually McGregor himself.  Physically one of the earlier examples of fake news. Soon hundreds of people started to invest in the Dreamland. McGregor was rich, a multi-millionaire in today's standards. Not only did he sell bonds to investors even printed up oil money in exchange for actual cash. Now taking people's money was one thing that scumbag enough. But McGregor was on a whole different level of diabolical because he actually charters ships to transport people to this land of supposed rainbow pooping unicorns.  So, the first of two ships departed for Poyais in September of 1882 carrying about 250 passengers and when they finally arrived two months later it was of course nothing like McGregor talked about. Instead of a blooming town with beings in democracy. And thousands of inhabitant’s immigrants found just two or three broken down huts and they can just book a return ticket in here right back to Europe. Most people operator their lives and spent everything they have to come here. So they really tried to make it work but they had no resources in the ground, couldn’t produce anything except for stank and over the next couple of years most of the 250 residents died from malaria or yellow fever. In the remaining 50 residents finally gave up and retreated back to Europe.  Unfortunately, McGregor was never really punished. He left England and escaped to France where he basically started a scam all over again. It would have worked too because the French people were equally as gullible and many people invested in Poyais and got on a ship ready to go to mosquito vale but the government grew suspicious when they saw that many of their citizens were trying to travel to a country that no one has ever heard of in that's where McGregor scheme fell apart. McGregor was arrested in France and then jailed in England but really only for short time. He did lose all his money.  So, he had to eventually return to Venezuela where it gets this. He was able to convince the authorities that he deserved the commission for everything he did in the war and they actually gave it to him. McGregor died six years later in 1845 at the age of 59 and today Poyais remains undeveloped and continue to be a blood sucking cesspool not owned like McGregor himself.
