ANIMALFARM:

Animal Farm Major Characters


Mr. Jones: The farmer. In previous years, while he worked the animals hard, he used to be a capable farmer. Recently, though, he lost
money in a lawsuit, became depressed, and started drinking heavily. He no longer gets much done and he spends a lot of time drinking
and reading the newspapers in the kitchen.
Old Major: The prize Middle White boar, always called Old Major although at pig shows he was exhibited under the name
Willingdon Beauty. At the time of his death he was twelve years old, quite stout and majestic-looking with a wise and benevolent
appearance
Boxer: The male cart-horse, is very large and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. He has a white stripe down his nose,
which makes him look slightly stupid, and in fact he isn't highly intelligent, but he is steady, very hard-working and respected by all.
Clover: the female cart-horse, is very kind and motherly. She is stout, never having gotten her figure back after her fourth foal. She is
devoted to Boxer.
Benjamin: The donkey is the oldest and worst-tempered animal on the farm. He doesn't seemto care who is in charge of the farm
since he says it makes no difference in his life. He is very cynical, he seldomtalks and never laughs. He is also very intelligent and
insightful. He is devoted to Boxer in his own way, and the two of themusually spend their Sundays together grazing side by side.
Snowball: A boar. Vivacious, creative and quick in speech, but not considered as 'deep' as Napoleon. After he is expelled fromthe
farm, Napoleon and Squealer identify himas the 'enemy' and blame him for everything that goes wrong.
Napoleon: A Berkshire boar (Berkshires are large, black pigs). He is rather fierce-looking. He doesn't talk much, but has a reputation
for getting his own way. Later he becomes the Leader of Animal Farm and is hero-worshipped by the other animals.
Squealer: A porker, small and fat with round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements and a shrill voice. He is very persuasive, can
convince anyone of anything, and when arguing a difficult point he has an almost hypnotic way of skipping from side to side and
whisking his tail.
Minor Characters
The Dogs: Become the 'police' for Napoleon. Originally there are three dogs on the farm, Bluebell, J essie, and Pincher. When
Bluebell and J essie give birth to nine puppies between them, Napoleon says he will educate the young puppies and secludes themin a
loft in which he trains them to be his personal guard. The dogs become his weapon of terror, tearing out the throats of his political
opponents.
The Pigs: The cleverest animals on the farm, find it easiest to learn to read and write and understand Animalism, and so they teach the
other animals. They do not produce food by their own labor, but say they are the 'brain-workers' and become the leaders of the farm.
Of the male pigs, only Snowball and Napoleon are boars (kept for breeding) and the others are porkers (i.e. have been castrated so as
to be raised for meat).
Muriel: The white goat. She learns to read even better than the dogs can, and sometimes reads to the others in the evenings from
scraps of newspaper which she finds on the rubbish heap.
Mollie: The white mare is very pretty and shallow. She loves sugar and plaiting her mane with ribbons, and she doesn't understand or
care about political ideas.
The Cat: She is always looking for the most comfortable place to sleep and disappears whenever there is work or danger around.
Moses: The tame raven. He is Mr. J ones's special pet, is a spy and does no work - the other animals don't like him. He tells the
animals about a special place called Sugarcandy Mountain where all animals go when they die. Moses likes beer - Mr. J ones
sometimes feeds himon beer-soaked crusts of bread.
Mrs. Jones: The farmer's wife.
Pilkington: An easygoing upper-class farmer who lets his farmrun down and get neglected, spending most of his time hunting or
fishing.
Frederick: A tough, shrewd farmer. He is money-minded, drives hard bargains and is always taking people to court.
Minimus: A pig with a special talent for composing songs and poems, who becomes the official poet.
Mr. Whymper: The solicitor. He is a sly-looking little man with side whiskers, a solicitor with a very small business, but clever
enough to realize before anyone else that Animal Farmwill need a broker and the commissions will be worth having.
The Sheep: Probably the stupidest animals on the farm. They become Napoleon's most brainlessly devoted followers.

conference, where diplomats and Vice President of the United States Raymond Becker are
unconvinced by Jack's findings. However, Professor Terry Rapson of the Hedland Climate
Research Centre in Scotland believes in Jack's theories. Several buoys in the North Atlantic
simultaneously show a massive drop in the ocean temperature, and Rapson concludes that
melting polar ice is disrupting the North Atlantic current. He contacts Jack, whose
paleoclimatological weather model shows how climate changes caused the first Ice Age. His
team, along with NASA's meteorologist Janet Tokada, builds a forecast model with their
combineddata.

CLASSIFICATIONOFVOLCANOES
A popular way of classifying magmatic volcanoes is by their frequency of eruption, with those
thateruptregularlycalledactive,thosethathaveeruptedinhistoricaltimesbutarenowquiet
called dormant or inactive, and those that have not erupted in historical times called extinct.
However, these popular classificationsextinct in particularare practically meaningless to
scientists. They use classifications which refer to a particular volcano's formative and eruptive
processesandresultingshapes,whichwasexplainedabove.

Thereisnoconsensusamongvolcanologistsonhowtodefinean"active"volcano.Thelifespan
of a volcano can vary from months to several million years, making such a distinction
sometimes meaningless when compared to the lifespans of humans or even civilizations. For

MOUNTAINSANDVOLCANOES

Essentiallyavolcanoisatypeofmountain.

Mountain:

Mountains can be formed in a couple of different ways. Different kinds of mountains are
formed different ways. There are four different kinds of mountains: Volcanic, erosional, fault
block,andfolded.

A mountain is usually produced by the movement of lithospheric plates, either orogenic


movement or epeirogenic movement. Compressional forces, isostatic uplift and intrusion of
igneous matter forces surface rock upward, creating a landform higher than the surrounding
features.Theheightofthefeaturemakesiteitherahillor,ifhigherandsteeper,amountain.

Volcanoes:

Volcanicmountains,alsoknownasvolcanoes,canbestandingaloneorbepartofonebigchain
of volcanoes. Volcanoes are areas in which lava and magma move to the surface and burst
through the crust. Igneous rocks are formed here. Sometimes, hot molten rock spews out of
volcanoes. This is earth's way of releasing its internal heat. Many people have died and cities
havebeenburiedfromvolcaniceruptions.AnareawithachainofvolcanoesisHawaii.Mauna
Kea(4,205m/13,796ft)isanexampleofavolcanicmountain.

Volcanoestypicallyoccurduetothecollisionofacontinentalplateandanoceanicplate,where
the denser oceanic plate undergoes 'subduction' and slips under the less dense continental
plate.

Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust in the
interiorsofplates,e.g.,intheEastAfricanRift,theWellsGrayClearwatervolcanicfieldandthe
Rio Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "Plate
hypothesis" volcanism. Volcanism away from plate boundaries has also been explained as
mantle plumes. These socalled "hotspots", for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from
upwellingdiapirswithmagmafromthecoremantleboundary,3,000kmdeepintheEarth.

corona form of aurora, rays seem to meet overhead in a starlike shape. In the

In modernastronomy,
aconstellationis an
internationally defined area of
the celestial sphere. These
areas are grouped
aroundasterisms, patterns
formed by prominent stars
within apparent proximity to
one another on Earth'snight
sky.

There are88 standard


constellationsrecognized by
theInternationalAstronomicalUnion(IAU)since1922.Themajorityofthesegobacktothe48
constellations defined byPtolemyin hisAlmagest(2nd century). The remaining ones were
defined in the 17th and 18th century; the most recent ones are found on the southern sky,
definedinCoelumaustralestelliferumbyNicolasLouisdeLacaille(1763).

There are also numeroushistorical constellationsnot recognized by the IAU, or constellations

CORECOMPOSITION

ThemostsimplisticviewoftheEarth'scoreisthatitiscomposedmostlyofmetalliciron,
theinnercorebeingpureironinahexagonalclosepacked(hcp)crystallineform,andtheouter
core being molten iron with approximately 10 per cent by weight of a light element such as
oxygen or sulphur. This view is satisfactory from a geophysical perspective in that it accounts
for the core density estimated from the mean density and moment of inertia of the Earth, as
well as from seismic body wave velocities. If, however, we use the crust and the mantle as a
guide,theEarth'scoreisprobablyanythingbutnearlypureorofsimplecomposition.Themain
problemwithdeterminingtheactualcorecompositioniscausedbyitsremoteness,theabsence
of core xenoliths, and the difficulty of replicating the extreme pressures and temperatures of
thecoreinthelaboratory.
IRONNICKELCOMPOSITION:
Mostcurrentideasonthecompositionofthecorehavebeenstronglyinfluencedbythe
ironnickel meteorite analogy. In the earlier part of the twentieth century, the idea was
developed that meteorites were remnants of a single, disrupted planet. As a result, the
meteoriticEarthhypothesiswasformulatedtogiveinsightontheEarth'sinternalcomposition.
Thehypothesisheldthatthestonymeteoritesrepresentedthedisruptedplanet'smantle,and
ironnickel meteorites the core. It followed then that the Earth's core must also be similar in
composition to iron or ironnickel meteorites. By the 1960s the meteoritic Earth hypothesis
hadfallenoutoffavourbecauseithadbeendiscoveredthatmeteoritesdidnotoriginatefrom
a single parent planet. In particular, oxygen isotope studies showed that many parent bodies
must have existed. Moreover, petrological investigations revealed that some meteorites
experienced igneous processing while others have remained relatively unaltered since the

DARANGEN-MINDANAO EPIC POETRIES
DARANGEN-MINDANAO EPIC POETRY

The Darangan tells of the sentimental and romantic adventures of noble warriors, one
of them, is about a warrior-prince called Bantugan.. Prince Bantugan was the brother of
the chieftain of a village called Bumbaran. Bantugan owned a magic shield, was
protected by divine spirits called "Tonongs" and was capable of rising from the dead.
Once his enemies attacked Bembaran, thinking he was dead. In the nick of time,
Bantugans soul was recovered and he saved the village.

There is also an episode, where Prince Bantugan was on a quest and fought his
enemies with his magic Kampilan (Native sword). Soon, he got tired and fell on to the
water. A crocodile delivered him to his enemies, but he regained his strength, escaped
his captors, and commands an oar less ship and won the battle.

There were also Darangen epic poetries that relates stories of wars about abducted
princesses. Just like the chronicles of the Trojan War.

The Darangen is one of the oldest and longest Philippine Epic poetries. Several nights
were needed to recite the twenty five beautiful chapters. The Darangan, sung in its
original, possessed a sustained beauty and dignity, it might be studied for its esthetic
values alone.

The darangen is an epic chant associated with the Maranao people, with the core area
of habitation being the province of Lanao del Sur in the island of Mindanao. Although
other variations exist among the Maranao ethnic communities living in other areas,
among the Maguindanao ethnic group, and Manobo groups to the Pacific Coast. The one
in Lanao del Sur is considered the most definitive.

It is a pre-Islamic form of primarily oral literature, presently existing in an Islamic
context. Implications contained in the epic point to influences reaching as far west as
India. The epic is the culmination of all these influences and the core culture of the
Maranao.

The traditional Maranao belief and value systems are founded on the truisms of the
darangen. The mythologies contained therein constitute the foundation of indigenous
beliefs and value system. It is a body of traditions and functions as a societal lynchpin

NUTRITION

Nutrition (also called nourishment or aliment) is the provision, to cells and organisms, of
thematerialsnecessary(intheformoffood)tosupportlife.Manycommonhealthproblemscan
bepreventedoralleviatedwithahealthydiet.

There are six major classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, minerals, protein, vitamins,
andwater.

MacronutrientsandMicronutrients:

These nutrient classes can be categorized as either macronutrients (needed in relatively


large amounts) or micronutrients (needed in smaller quantities). The macronutrients include
carbohydrates (including fiber), fats, protein, and water. The micronutrients are minerals and
vitamins.

The macronutrients (excluding fiber and water) provide structural material (amino acids
fromwhichproteinsarebuilt,andlipidsfromwhichcellmembranesandsomesignalingmolecules
arebuilt)andenergy.Vitamins,minerals,fiber,andwaterdonotprovideenergy,butarerequired
for other reasons. A third class of dietary material, fiber (i.e., nondigestible material such as
cellulose), is also required, for both mechanical and biochemical reasons, although the exact
reasonsremainunclear.

Geophysics, which studies the physics of the Earth, has led to many significant discoveries about the
Earth and its make-up. Seismologic studies of the Earth have uncovered new information about the
interior of the Earth that has helped to give credence to plate tectonic theory.
Geophysical studies have revealed that the Earth has several distinct layers. Each of these layers has its
own properties. The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust. This comprises the continents and ocean
basins. The crust has a variable thickness, being 35-70 km thick in the continents and 5-10 km thick in
the ocean basins. The crust is composed mainly of alumino-silicates.

The next layer is the mantle, which is composed mainly of ferro-magnesium silicates. It is about 2900 km
thick, and is separated into the upper and lower mantle. This is where most of the internal heat of the
Earth is located. Large convective cells in the mantle circulate heat and may drive plate tectonic
processes.



The last layer is the core, which is separated into the liquid outer core and the solid inner core. The outer
core is 2300 km thick and the inner core is 1200 km thick. The outer core is composed mainly of a nickel-
iron alloy, while the inner core is almost entirely composed of iron. Earth's magnetic field is believed to be
controlled by the liquid outer core.

Ang Pabula ng Kabayo at ng Mangngalakal

A short story from Katig.com book of fables
(Inspired by the ancient fables of Aesop)

Isang mangangalakal ang maghahatid ng dalawang sakong asin sa palengke.
Inilulan niya ang mga sako ng asin sa kanyang kabayo at nagtungo sila sa palengke.
Nang tumatawid sila sa isang ilog na dinaanan ay hindi sinasadyang nadulas at
natumba ang kabayo. Napunit ang mga sako at ang ilang bahagi ng asin ay nabuhos sa
ilog at ang iba naman ay nalusaw dahil sa pagkababad sa tubig. Hindi naman nasaktan
ang kabayo at napansin niya na lubhang gumaan ang pasan niyang dalawang sako ng
asin at siya ay natuwa

Nang sumunod na linggo ay magpupunta uli ang mangangalakal sa palengke at
naglulan na nman ng dalawang sakong asin sa kanyang kabayo. nang mapalapit na sila
sa ilog ay napagisip-isip ng kabayo: "Kung magpapadulas ako sa ilog ay tiyak na
gagaan uli ang pasan ko," ang sabi ng kabayo sa kanyang sarili. Ganun na nga ang
ginawa ng kabayo. Muling nabutas ang mga sako at ibang asin ay nabuhos sa ilog at
ang iba naman ay nalusaw. Nguni't sa pagkakataong eto ay nakahalata ang
mangangalakal na sadyang nagpadulas ang kabayo sa ilog.

Pagdaan pa ng isang linggo ay muling magtutungo ang mangangalakal sa
palengke subalit sa pagkakataong eto ay apat na baldeng may lamang alpombra ang
kanyang inilulan sa kabayo - dalawang balde sa magkabilang tabi ng kabayo. "Aba, ok
to, mas magaan ang pasan ko ngayon. Ganun pa man ay magpapadulas pa rin ako sa
ilog para mas gumaan pa ang pasan ko," ang sabi ng kabayo sa kanyang sarili.

Pagdating sa ilog ay kusa na namang nagpadulas ang kabayo ngunit laking gulat
niya nang biglang bumigat ang kanyang pasan nang siya ay malublob sa tubig. Ang
apat na balde na may alpombra ay napuno ng tubig at di hamak nanaging mas
mabigat pa keysa sa dalawang sakong asin.

Fortunately,therearewaystomakethecountingtaskeasier.Thislessonfocusesonthreerules
of counting that can save both time and effort event multiples, permutations, and
combinations.

EVENTMULTIPLES

The first rule of counting deals with event multiples. An event multiple occurs when two or
more independent events are grouped together. The first rule of counting helps us determine
howmanywaysaneventmultiplecanoccur.

Rule1.Supposewehavekindependentevents.Event1canbeperformedinn

Example1

Howmanysamplepointsareinthesamplespacewhenacoinisflipped4times?
Solution:Eachcoinflipcanhaveoneoftwooutcomesheadsortails.Therefore,thefourcoin

Solution:Foreachoutfit,hecanchooseoneoffourshirtsandoneofseventies.Therefore,the
businessmancancreate(4)(7)=28differentshirt/tieoutfits.

PERMUTATIONS

Often, we want to count all of the possible ways that a single set of objects can be arranged.
For example, consider the letters X, Y, and Z. These letters can be arranged a number of
differentways(XYZ,XZY,YXZ,etc.)Eachofthesearrangementsisapermutation.

Ingeneral, nobjectscanbearrangedinn(n1)(n 2) ...(3)(2)(1) ways. Thisproductis


representedbythesymboln!,whichiscallednfactorial.(Byconvention,0!=1.)

A permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects, with regard to the


order of the arrangement. This means that XYZ is considered a different permutation
thanZYX.

PREPOSITION

A preposition may be defined as connecting word showing the relation of a noun or a noun
substitute to some other word in the sentence (the squirrel in the tree; the preposition in shows the
relationshipbetweenthesquirrelandthetree.).Overninetypercentofprepositionusageinvolvesthese
nineprepositions:

from of on

Prepositionscauseproblemsbecausesometimestheycanbeusedinterchangeably(He
sat on the chair: He sat in the chair), because prepositions are often combined with verbs to
createphrasalverbs(tolookaftersomeone;tolookdownonsomeone),andbecausea single
prepositioncanbeusedtoexpressseveraldifferentideas(Heistallforhisage;Iswamforan

The most efficient method of study is to familiarize yourself with prepositions and
prepositional phrases through practice and memorization. This is particularly helpful for the

SENTENCE
SENTENCESTRUCTURE
In Clauses, there are two types: independent and dependent. Independent clauses are complete
sentences because they have a subject and verb and express a complete thought. Dependent
clauses, in contrast, cannot stand alone because they do not express a complete thoughteven
though they have a subject and a verb. Independent and dependent clauses can be used in a
number of ways to form the four basic types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and
compoundcomplex.

Skewness/Kurtosis
Skewness is the degree of departure from symmetry of a distribution. A positively
skewed distribution has a "tail" which is pulled in the positive direction. A negatively
skewed distribution has a "tail" which is pulled in the negative direction.

Kurtosis is the degree of peakedness of a distribution. A normal distribution is a
mesokurtic distribution. A pure leptokurtic distribution has a higher peak than the normal
distribution and has heavier tails. A pure platykurtic distribution has a lower peak than a
normal distribution and lighter tails.

Most departures from normality display combinations of both skewness and kurtosis
different from a normal distribution.

TECHNICALWRITING

Technical writing is a form of technical communication. It is a style of writing used infields as


diverse as computer hardware and software, engineering, chemistry, the aerospace industry,
robotics,finance,consumerelectronics,andbiotechnology.

Technical writer writes communications done on the job, especially in fields with specialized
vocabularies,suchasscience,engineering,technology,andthehealthsciences.

The Society for Technical Communication (STC) defines technical writing as a broad field that
includesanyformofcommunicationthatexhibitsoneormoreofthefollowingcharacteristics:

(1) communicating about technical or specialized topics, such as computer applications,


medicalprocedures,orenvironmentalregulations;

(2) communicatingbyusingtechnology,suchaswebpages,helpfiles,orsocialmediasites;
or

(3) providinginstructionsabouthowtodosomething,regardlessofhowtechnicalthetask
is, and regardless of whether technology is used to create or distribute that
communication.

"Thegoaloftechnicalwritingistoenablereaderstouseatechnologyorunderstandaprocess
or concept. Because the subject matter is more important than the writer's voice, technical
writingstyleusesanobjective,notasubjective,tone.Thewritingstyleisdirectandutilitarian,
emphasizingexactnessandclarityratherthaneleganceorallusiveness.Atechnicalwriteruses
figurative language only when a figure of speech would facilitate understanding
1
."

Technicalwriting isaccomplishedbytechnicalwriters,whomaybeprofessionalsoramateurs.
Such writers ideally begin by forming a clear understanding of the purpose of the document
that they will create. Technical writers then typically gather information from existing
documentationandfromsubjectmatterexperts(SME).AnSMEisanyexpertonthetopicthat
the writer is working on. Technical writers are often not SMEs themselves (unless they are
writing about creating good technical documentation). Workers at many levels, and in many
different fields, have a role in producing technical communications. A good technical writer
needs strong language and teaching skills and must understand the many conventions of
moderntechnicalcommunications.

Advanced technical writers often move into specialized areas such as Advance Programming
Interface writing for software programming, document architecture, or information
management.

warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducingtemperature
extremesbetweendayandnight(thediurnaltemperaturevariation).

Atmospheric stratificationdescribes the structure of the atmosphere, dividing it into


distinct layers, each with specific characteristics such as temperature or composition. The
atmosphere has a mass of about 51018kg, three quarters of which is within about 11km
(6.8mi; 36,000 ft) of the surface. The atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner with
increasingaltitude, with no definite boundary between the atmosphere andouter space. An
altitudeof 120km (75mi) is where atmosphericeffects become noticeable duringatmospheric
reentryofspacecraft.TheKrmnline,at100km(62mi),alsoisoftenregardedastheboundary

Airis the name given toatmosphereused inbreathingandphotosynthesis. Dry air


contains roughly (by volume) 78.09%nitrogen, 20.95%oxygen, 0.93%argon, 0.039%carbon

TYPES OF ROCKS
Geologists classify rocks in three groups, according to the major Earth
processes that formed them. The three rock groups are igneous,
sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Anyone who wishes to collect
rocks should become familiar with the characteristics of these three rock
groups. Knowing how a geologist classifies rocks is important if you want to
transform a random group of rock specimens into a true collection.
IGNEOUS ROCKS
Igneous rocks are
formed from melted
rock that has cooled
and solidified. When
rocks are buried deep
within the Earth, they
melt because of the
high pressure and
temperature; the molten
rock (called magma)
can then flow upward or
even be erupted from a
volcano onto the Earth's
surface. When magma
cools slowly, usually at
depths of thousands of
feet, crystals grow from
the molten liquid, and a
coarse-grained rock
forms. When magma
cools rapidly, usually at
or near the Earth's
surface, the crystals are
extremely small, and a fine-grained rock results. A wide variety of rocks are
formed by different cooling rates and different chemical compositions of the
original magma. Obsidian (volcanic glass), granite, basalt, and andesite
porphyry are four of the many types of igneous rock.

BRIEFHISTORYOFISRAEL
ThepeopleofIsrael(alsocalledthe"JewishPeople")tracetheirorigintoAbraham,
who established the belief that there is only one God, the creator of the universe
(seeTorah).Abraham,hissonYitshak(Isaac),andgrandsonJacob(Israel),arereferredtoas
the patriarchs of the Israelites. All three patriarchs lived in the Land of Canaan, that later
came to be known as the Land of Israel. They and their wives are buried in the Ma'arat
HaMachpela,theTombofthePatriarchs,inHebron(GenesisChapter23).
"Your name is Jacob, but you will not be called Jacob any longer. From now on your name will be Israel.
The name Israel derives from the name given to Jacob by God when he struggled

Aristotle sees the universe as a scale lying between the two extremes: form without matter is on one

various stages in the world of nature. To do this is the object of Aristotles physics, or philosophy of
nature. It is important to keep in mind that the passage from form to matter within nature is a
movement towards ends or purposes. Everything in nature has its end and function, and nothing is
without its purpose. Everywhere we find evidences of design and rational plan. No doctrine of physics
can ignore the fundamental notions of motion, space, and time. Motion is the passage of matter into

MP3
History and Development

For LP MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a popular audio
encoding format. It uses a lossy compression algorithm that is designed to greatly reduce the
amount of data required to represent the audio recording, yet still sound like a faithful
reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners. It was invented by a team
of European engineers of Philips, CCETT (Centre commun d'tudes de tlvision et
tlcommunications), IRT and Fraunhofer Society, who worked in the framework of the
EUREKA 147 DAB digital radio research program, and it became an ISO/IEC standard in 1991.

MP3 is an audio-specific format. The compression takes off certain sounds that cannot
be heard by the listener, i.e. outside the normal human hearing range. It provides a
representation of pulse-code modulationencoded audio in much less space than
straightforward methods, by using psychoacoustic models to discard components less audible
to human hearing, and recording the remaining information in an efficient manner. Similar
principles are used by JPEG, an image compression format.


I-POD
History and design

iPod came from Apple's digital hub strategy,
[3]
when the company began creating
software for the growing market of digital devices being purchased by consumers. Digital
cameras, camcorders and organizers had well-established mainstream markets, but the
company found existing digital music players "big and clunky or small and useless" with user
interfaces that were "unbelievably awful",
[3]
so Apple decided to develop its own. Apple's
hardware engineering chief, Jon Rubinstein, assembled a team of engineers to design it,
including Tony Fadell, hardware engineer Michael Dhuey, and design engineer Jonathan Ive,
with Stan Ng as the marketing manager. The product was developed in less than a year and
unveiled on 23 October 2001. CEO Steve Jobs announced it as a Mac-compatible product with
a 5 GB hard drive that put "1000 songs in your pocket."

The name iPod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who (with
others) was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. After
Chieco saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase "Open
the pod bay door, Hal!", which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship.
Apple had previously registered the name "iPod" for Internet kiosks, but never put it to use.

Thai classical music is synonymous with those stylized court ensembles and repertoires that
emerged in its present form within the royal centers of Central Thailand some 800 years ago.
These ensembles, while being deeply influenced by Khmer and even older practices and
repertoires from India, are today uniquely Thai expressions. While the three primary classical

NUTRITION DEFICIENCIES

I. Protein-energy Malnutrition (PEM)

There are three (3) forms of serious Protein-energy Malnutrition (PEM): marasmus,
kwashiorkor, and marasmic kwashiorkor.


1. Marasmus -. These forms of serious PEM represent a
group of pathologic conditions associated with a
nutritional and energy deficit occurring mainly in
young children from developing countries at the time
of weaning. Marasmus is a condition primarily caused
by a deficiency in calories and energy.


2. Kwashiorkor - A severe malnutrition, seen primarily in
children of tropical and subtropical regions, caused
by deficiency in the quality and quantity of dietary
protein. Kwahiorkor is characterized by failure to
grow, anemia, liver damage, edema, discoloration of
the skin or hair, and bulky stools containing
undigested food.

3. Marasmic Kwashiorkor - Condition that has features of
Marasmus and Kwashiorkor. A malnutrition disease,
primarily of children, resulting from the deficiency of both calories and
protein. The condition is characterized by severe tissue wasting,
dehydration, loss of subcutaneous fat, lethargy, and growth retardation.

Pagkat ang salitay isang kahatulan
Sa bayan, sa nayo't mga kaharian


At ang isang taoy katulad, kabagay

Ang hindi magmahal sa kanyang salita
Mahigit sa hayop at malansang isda

Kaya ang marapat pagyamanin kusa
Na tulad sa inang tunay na nagpala

FAMOUS SCIENTIST

I. LIST OF FOREIGN SCIENTIST:


Niels Bohr

Life: October 7, 1885 - November 18, 1962
Born in Copenhagen, Denmark

Niels Bohr was a Danish scientist who won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1922 for his work in
regards to understanding the structure of atoms. Bohr introduced the theory that electrons
travel in an orbital path around the atom's nucleus. He also theorized that light could have
properties of both a wave and a particle at the same time.

Nicolaus Copernicus

Life: February 19, 1473 - May 24, 1543
Born in Toru, Royal Prussia

Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to publish a full-fledged theory that the earth was
not the center of the universe (as was the current thought in the 1500's) and that the earth
actually revolved around the sun. Copernicus also theorized that the earth rotated on its axis,
which accounted for the daily movement of the stars.

Since 150 AD to the 1500's, the Ptolemy's theory prevailed that the earth was the flat
center of the universe that did not rotate or revolve. This theory was well accepted by both
scientific and religious communities. Nicolaus Copernicus did not publish his theory right away
but chose to publish De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial
Spheres) near his death in 1543.

SEIZURES

A seizure is the physical findings or changes in behavior that occur after an


episodeofabnormalelectricalactivityinthebrain.

The term "seizure" is often used interchangeably with "convulsion." Convulsions


are when a person'sbody shakes rapidlyand uncontrollably.During convulsions,
the person's muscles contract and relax repeatedly. There are many different
typesofseizures.Somehavemildsymptomsandnobodyshaking.

VEGETATION

Vegetation is a very general term for the plant life; it refers to the ground
coverprovidedbyplants.

It is a general term, without specific reference to particular taxa, life forms,


structure, spatial extent, or any other specific botanical or geographic
characteristics. It is broader than the term flora which refers exclusively to
species composition. Perhaps the closest synonym is plant community, but
vegetation can, and often does, refer to a wider range of spatial scales than
that term does, including scales as large as the global. Primeval redwood
forests, coastal mangrove stands, sphagnum bogs, desert soil crusts, roadside
weedpatches,wheatfields,cultivatedgardensandlawns;allareencompassed
bythetermvegetation.

NaturalVegetation
Meaning of Natural Vegetation: Natural vegetation refers to a plant
community which has grown naturally without human aid and has been left
undisturbed by humans for a long time. This is termed as virgin vegetation.
Thus, cultivated crops and fruits, orchards form part of vegetation but not
naturalvegetation.

CircumstancesofHisSurrender

Despite the efforts of the Philippine Army, letters and newspapers left for them, radio
broadcasts, and even a plea from Onoda's brother, he did not belive the war was over. On

ANGELMANSYNDROME

Angelman syndrome is a complex genetic disorder that primarily affects the


nervous system. Characteristic features of this condition include delayed
development, intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, and problems
with movement and balance (ataxia). Most affected children also haverecurrent
seizures (epilepsy) and a small head size (microcephaly). Delayed development
becomes noticeable by the age of 6 to 12 months, and other common signs and
symptomsusuallyappearinearlychildhood.

Children with Angelman syndrome typically have a happy, excitable demeanor


with frequent smiling, laughter, and handflapping movements. Hyperactivity, a
short attention span, and a fascination with water are common. Most affected
childrenalsohavedifficultysleepingandneedlesssleepthanusual.

With age, people with Angelman syndrome become less excitable, and the
sleeping problems tend to improve. However, affected individuals continue to
have intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, and seizures throughout
their lives. Adults with Angelman syndrome have distinctive facial features that
maybedescribedas"coarse."Othercommonfeaturesincludeunusuallyfairskin

ANTS AND PLANTS
Do ants benefit plants? Like so many things in nature, the interrelationships among
organisms are far more complicated than it first appears. Plants rely on ants for
many things but not pollination, the sexual act of transferring pollen from one flower
to the other. Only 12 plants (5 of which are orchids) have ants as the proposed
pollinators. Even in these dozen we might be dealing with guilt by association. In
most of these 12, one or more of the following critical pieces of information is
missing: the observation of pollen actually being transplanted from one flower to
another and/or the demonstration that ant pollinators produce live, i.e. fertile seeds.
This second piece of information is particularly important because ants excrete
antibiotics that coat their outer surface. Such excretions have been repeatedly
shown to reduce pollen germination. Thus, even if the pollen gets to the female
portion of the flower, it may not germinate.
Ants do appear, however, to be important distributors of seeds, particularly in our
area. Seeds of many of the herbs that brighten our forest floors with a carpet of
spring flowers have food bodies (elaiosomes) attached to their seeds. In New York
beech/maple forests, over 50 percent of the spring blooming herbs have seeds with
elaiosomes. Biologists speculate that these food packets have essential compounds
(steroid-like substances) needed for normal development of the ant young. The
seeds produced by these herbs are toted back to the ant hill. The food packet is
devoured, but not the seed. This is the reward offered to the plant. The soil
surrounding the surviving seeds is enriched by ant droppings and aerated and
drained by the tunnels. Asarum canadensis (Wild Ginger) Claytonia virginiana
(Spring Beauty), Erythronium americanum (Trout lily), Hepatica acutiloba (Hepatica),
Hexastylis sp. (Ginger, Little Brown J ugs or Little Brown Pigs) Sangunaria
canadensis (Bloodroot), Trillium grandiflorum (Trillium), Viola blanda and Viola
canadensis (Violets), and Uvularia sp. (Bellwort), common members of our moist
forest spring flora are some of the plants species that appear to be distributed by
ants.
Ants also provide important defense mechanisms against herbivores and other plant
predators. This role was brought home to me quite forcibly while visiting Costa Rica.
I was walking along a dirt road sandwiched between two cultivated fields when a
wonderfully shaded spot was offered by a weedy Cecropia tree. Its large umbrella-
shaped leaves beckoned me to stay awhile, rest, mop my brow, and have a sip from
my canteen. Propping on the truck, I suddenly became aware of a war being waged
on my hand by a fiery attack force of tiny ants. The pain was sudden and intense.
There was no competition; I lost. I found out later that these fierce creatures were
members of the aptly named genus Azteca. The stems of this shrubby Cecropia are
hollow. Colonies of ants live within these apartments. The plant not only provides
shelter but food as well. Specially produced food packets are found on the leaves
solely for the use of ants. The ants in return defend the plant from all dangers, real or
perceived (for example, me).
Bert Holldabler and E.O. Wilson in their very readable treatise on ants, list nearly 100
genera of plants in the tropics that have such an ant defense mechanism
(mymecolphily). Although mymecolphily appears to be more common in the tropics,

BONE AND MUSCLE DISEASES


BONE DISEASES:

Arthritis ~ Inflammation of one or more joints that can be caused by gout,
rheumatic fever, or ankylosing spondylitis, a disease that affects the spine.

o Osteoarthritis - It is usually a mild, sometimes painful disease occurring
primarily with advancing age, when degenerative changes alter the
structure of the joints. Symptoms may be relieved and the condition
controlled with drugs, exercise, and other measures, sometimes including
orthopaedic surgery;

o Rheumatoid arthritis - Is by far the more serious, painful, and potentially
crippling form; it is chronic, is characterized by flare-ups and remissions,
and occurs throughout the world, in all climates and ethnic groups. The
prevalence in developed countries is generally about 3 per cent, with three
times as many women as men affected.

o Gout - complex disease of uncertain origin caused by the faulty metabolism
of uric acid produced in the body, and resulting in elevated levels of uric
acid in the blood. A diet rich in malt beverages, wines, and proteins may
precipitate individual attacks but does not cause the disease. Its incidence
is not usually affected by climate or season; about 95 per cent of sufferers
are men. The disease is rare in people under the age of 30; between 10 and
20 per cent of cases have a family history of the disease.

Rickets ~ nutritional disorder characterized by skeletal deformities. Rickets is
caused by a decreased mineralization of bones and cartilage due to low levels of
calcium and phosphorus in the blood. Vitamin D is essential for the maintenance of
normal calcium and phosphorus levels. Classic rickets, a deficiency disease of
children characterized by improper development or hardening of bones, is due to
lack of sufficient vitamin D in the diet, or to insufficient ultraviolet radiation from
direct sunlight, a lack that prevents conversion of the element 7-
dehydrocholesterol in the skin to vitamin D.

Poliomyelitis ~ infectious viral disease of the central nervous system, sometimes
resulting in paralysis. The greatest incidence of the disease, also known as
infantile paralysis, is in children between the ages of five and ten years.

Osteomyelitis ~ is a term applied to any inflammation of bone or bone marrow,
usually caused by infection by such micro-organisms as Staphylococcus aureus,
various streptococci, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and a host of others, as well as

motorandsensoryinnervationtothefaceandneckviathecranialnerves.Thoughsmall,this
is an extremely important part of the brain as the nerve connections of the motor and

brain stem. This includes the corticospinal tract (motor), the posterior columnmedial
lemniscus pathway (fine touch, vibration sensation and proprioception) and the
spinothalamic tract (pain, temperature, itch and crude touch). The brain stem also plays an
important role in the regulation of cardiac and respiratory function. It also regulates the
centralnervous system,and is pivotal in maintaining consciousness andregulating the sleep
cycle.
It is usually described as including the medulla oblongata (myelencephalon), pons (part of

BUILDINGBETTERBATTERIES

BOULDER,CO(IvanhoeNewswire)Everyoneknowsthefrustrationofhavingabattery

power, so you can talk, type, or even drive longer. We report on why it really is the
batterythatkeepsgoingandgoing,andgoing.

They power our phones, our computers, even our cars. But batteries have one big
downside, they die! And its usually way to soon and at the worst possible time.
Chemist Amy Prieto and her colleagues at Colorado State University are working to
changethat.

"If you could make one really good battery, you could put it into a bunch of different
areas and really impact people's lives, Amy Prieto, a chemist at Colorado State
UniversitytoldIvanhoe.

That's just what Prieto did. Calculations predict this prototype battery has a 1,000
higher power density, lasts 10 times longer, can be charged an unlimited amount of
timesandisathirdofthecostofcurrentlithiumionbatteries.

A high surface area means it will charge faster. The battery is made up of three main

CHROMOSOMALABERRATIONS

Chromosomal aberrations are abnormalities in the structure or number


ofchromosomesandareoftenresponsibleforgeneticdisorders.Formorethana
century, scientists have beenfascinatedby the study of human chromosomes. It
was not until 1956, however, that it was determined that the
actualdiploidnumber of chromosomes in a human cell was fortysix (22 pairs of
autosomesandtwosexchromosomesmakeupthehumangenome).In1959two
discoveries opened a new era of genetics. Jerome Lejeune, Marthe Gautier, and
M. Raymond Turpin discovered the presence of an extra chromosome in Down
syndromepatients.AndC.E.Fordandhiscolleagues,P.A.JacobsandJ.A.Strong
first observed sex chromosome anomalies in patients with sexual development
disorders.

AdvancesinChromosomalAnalysis

Identification of individual chromosomes remained difficult until advances in


staining techniques such as Qbanding revealed the structural organization of
chromosomes. The patterns of bands were found to be specific for individual
chromosomes and hence allowed scientists to distinguish the different
chromosomes. Also, such banding patterns made it possible to recognize that
structural abnormalities or aberrations were associated with specific genetic
syndromes. Chromosome disorders, or abnormalities of even a minute segment
(orband)arenowknowntobethebasisforalargenumberofgeneticdiseases.

Chromosomal disorders and their relationship to health and disease are studied
using the methods ofcytogenetics.Cytogenetic analysisis now an integral
diagnostic procedure inprenatal diagnosis. It is also utilized in the evaluation of
patients withmental retardation, multiple birth defects, and abnormal sexual
development, and in some cases of infertility or multiple miscarriages.
Cytogenetic analysis is also useful in the study and treatment of cancer patients
and individuals withhematologic disorders. The types of chromosomal
abnormalities that can be detected bycytogeneticsare numerical aberrations,
translocations,duplications,deletions,andinversions.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
The Circulatory System is responsible for transporting materials
throughout the entire body. It transports nutrients, water, and oxygen to
your billions of body cells and carries away wastes such as carbon
dioxide that body cells produce. It is an amazing highway that travels
through your entire body connecting all your body cells.
Parts of the Circulatory System
The circulatory System is divided into three major parts:
1. The Heart
2. The Blood
3. The Blood Vessels
The Heart
The Heart is an amazing organ. The heart beats about 3 BILLION times
during an average lifetime. It is a muscle about the size of your fist. The
heart is located in the center of your chest slightly to the left. It's job is to
pump your blood and keep the blood moving throughout your body.
It is your job to keep your heart healthy and there are three main things
you need to remember in order to keep your heart healthy.
1. Exercise on a regular basis. Get outside and play. Keep that body
moving (walk, jog, run, bike, skate, jump, swim).
2. Eat Healthy. Remember the Food Pyramid and make sure your
eating your food from the bottom to top.
3. Don't Smoke! Don't Smoke! Don't Smoke! Don't Smoke! Don't
Smoke!
The Blood
The blood is an amazing substance that is constantly flowing through
our bodies.
Your blood is pumped by your heart.
Your blood travels through thousands of miles of blood vessels
right within your own body.
Your blood carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste products to
and from your body cells.
A young person has about a gallon of blood. An adult has about 5
quarts.

ABSTRACT:
Anyone who has sat in the driver's or
passenger's seat in a car has probably noticed the
tiny wording, "Objects in mirror are closer than they
appear," that runs along the bottom of the
passengerside rearview mirror. Some may question
thelogicofmakingobjectsseemliketheyarefarther
away than they actually are, but the reason is that
using a convex mirror this way gives the driver the
bestrangeofvision.Incontrast,thewidewindshield
mirror is flat because it is meant to show what is
directlybehindthecar,notfarofftothesides.
Most of vehicles today has convex mirrors
for their side mirrors. This way, the cars behind the
vehicle is easily seen without needing to move their
heads sidetoside.Everythingappearssmallerinthe
mirror, so they cover a wider field of view than a
normal plane mirror does as the image is
"compressed".
Meaning you can see more vehicles behind
and beside you for longer before they enter a blind
spot.
The passengerside mirror on acaris
typically a convex mirror. In some countries, these
are labeled with the safety warning "Objects in
mirror are closer than they appear", to warn the
driver of the convex mirror's distorting effects on
distance perception. Convex mirrors are preferred in
vehicles because they give an upright, though
diminished,image. Alsotheyprovideawiderfieldof

INTRODUCTION:
This research aims to investigate if convex
mirrors are effective as the front mirrors instead of
sidemirrors.
Specifically this study attempts to answer the ff
questions:
What are the advantages of convex mirrors
incars?

What are the disadvantages of convex


mirrorsincars?

Whereshoulditbeusedbest?
Hypothesis:
The convex mirrors always project a virtual,
uprightandsmallerimagenomatterinwhat
position it is infront of a convex mirror.
Thus, it projects a compressed image in
which is easier to see the things in a large
place.

Convex and concave mirrors always need


computation in which to determine the
height and distance of the object when the
image is seen. Which makes curved mirrors
hard to estimate the distance between the
objectsseeninthemirror.

Thus, a convex mirror compresses the

collectioninordertobetterunderstandthetypesofdatathatwillresult.

1. CensusDataCollection

Censusdatacollectionisamethodofcollectingdatawherebyallthedatafromeachand
everymemberofthepopulationiscollected.

Characteristics:

Covers very expanded data collection thus requires a lot of resources. For example,
when you collectthe ages of all the students ina given class, you areusing the census
datacollectionmethodsinceyouareincludingallthemembersofthepopulation(which
istheclassinthiscase).

Limitations:

Thismethodofdatacollectionisveryexpensive(tedious,timeconsumingandcostly)if
thenumberofelements(populationsize)isverylarge.Tounderstandthescopeofhow
expensive it is, think of trying to count all the ten year old boys in the country. That
wouldtakealotoftimeandresources,whichyoumaynothave.

2. SampleDataCollection

Sample data collection, which is commonly just referred to as sampling, is a method


whichcollectsdatafromonlyachosenportionofthepopulation.

Sampling assumes that the portion that is chosen to be sampled is a good estimate of
the entire population. Thus one can save resources and time by only collecting data
fromasmallpartofthepopulation.Butthisraisesthequestionofwhethersamplingis
accurate or not. The answer is that for the most part, sampling is approximately
accurate. This is only true if you choose your sample carefully to be able to closely

LITERARY GREAT. National Artist for Literature Edith L. Tiempo, renowned founder of the Silliman Writers
Workshop, died Sunday of myocardial infarction. Photo from Facebook
DUMAGUETE City, PhilippinesNational Artist for Literature Dr. Edith L. Tiempo died on Sunday in
Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.
She was 92.
Doctors at the Silliman Medical Center, where Tiempo was rushed Sunday afternoon for myocardial infarction,
pronounced her dead at 5:35 p.m. after trying to resuscitate her.
Dr. Tiempo died at a time when Silliman University was starting its 110th Founders Day celebration.
We have lost one of our pillars, Silliman University President Dr. Ben Malayang III announced at the end of
the 95th anniversary vesper worship service of the Silliman University Church.
But Dr. Tiempo will be part of our Founders Day celebration, he added.
The National Commission on Culture and the Arts, in its website, says Tiempo, a poet, fictionist, teacher and
literary critic, is regarded as one of the finest Filipino writers in English whose works are characterized by a
remarkable fusion of style and substance, of craftsmanship and insight.
Together with her late husband, Edilberto K. Tiempo, she founded and directed the Silliman National Writers
Workshop in Dumaguete City.
In the last 50 years, the Workshop has produced some of the countrys best writers, who have come to fondly
call her Mommy Edith.
Tiempos published works include the novel A Blade of Fern (1978), His Native Coast (1979), The Alien Corn
(1992), One, Tilting Leaves (1995) and The Builder (2003); the poetry collections, The Tracks of Babylon and
Other Poems (1966), and The Charmers Box and Other Poems (1993); and the short story collection Abide,
Joshua, and Other Stories (1964).
Her works have won numerous prizes from the Don Carlos Palanca Awards in Literature, the CCP literary
contest, and the Philippine Free Press literary contest.

A gene mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a


gene. Mutations range in size from a single DNA building block (DNA base) to a
largesegmentofachromosome.

Gene mutations occur in two ways: they can be inherited from a parent or
acquired during a persons lifetime. Mutations that are passed from parent to
child are called hereditary mutations or germline mutations (because they are

HUMANHISTORY

StoneAgehumansarrive30000BC

Human fossil records indicate that the Philippines may have been inhabited for
thousands of years. According to earlier archaeological findings, the first man in the
Philippines came around islands with Asia which Professor H. Otley Beyer, eminent
American authority on Philippine archeology and anthropology, dubbed the "Dawn
Man". Yet the oldest human fossil found in the Philippines thus far is the 22,000year
old skull cap of a "StoneAge Filipino" discovered by Dr. Robert B. Fox, American
anthropologistof the National Museum, inside Tabon Cave,Palawan,onMay 28,1962
anddubbedthe"TabonMan".

TheTaboncavesofPalawanindicatesettlementforatleast30,500years;thesehunter
gatherers used stone flake tools. (In Mindanao, the existence and importance of these
prehistoric tools was noted by famed Jos Rizal himself, because of his acquaintance
withSpanishandGermanscientificarchaeologistsinthe1880s,whileinEurope.)
The custom of Jar Burial, which ranges from Sri Lanka, to the Plain of Jars, in Laos, to
Japan, also was practiced in the Tabon caves of Palawan. A spectacular example of a
secondary burial jar is owned by the National Museum of the Philippines, a National
Treasure,withajarlidtoppedwithtwofigures,onethedeceased,armscrossed,hands

PLASTIC MADE OUT OF MILK
How can plastic be made out of milk? Find out how an acid (in this case, vinegar) along
with a measuring cup and teaspoon, a mug, a stirring spoon, and paper towels can turn
hot milk into plastic.
Acti vi ty's uses: Classroom demo or small group exploration
Area(s) of science: Physical Science
Difficulty level:
Prep time: <10 minutes
Acti vi ty time: 10-20 minutes
Key terms:
plastics, casein, monomers, polymers, chemical reaction,
chemistry, food chemistry, acids

Background Information:
Plastics are a group of materials that can look or feel different, but can all be molded
into many shapes. The similarities and differences between different plastic products
come down to the molecules they are made of. Plastics are all similar because they are
all made up of molecules that are repeated over and over again in a chain, called a
polymer. Polymers can be chains of one type of molecule, or chains of different types of
molecules linked together in a regular pattern. In a polymer, a single repeat of the
pattern of molecules is called a monomer (even if the polymer is made up of only one
type of molecule).

HOWBUSINESSUSESINFORMATIONSYSTEMS

InformationSystems(IS)inorganizationscaptureand
manage data to produce useful information that
supports an organization and its employees,
customers, suppliers and partners. Many
organizations consider information systems to be
essential to their ability to compete and gain
competitive advantage. Most organizations have
cometorealizethatallworkersneedtoparticipatein
the development of information systems. Therefore,
information systems development is a relevant
subjecttoallregardlessofwhetherornotstudyingto
become an information systems professional.
Information systems come in all shapes and sizes.
They are classified according to the functions they
serve.

Transaction Processing System (TPS) captures


and processes data about business transactions.
Examples are inventory tracking system,
materials management system, customer order
system,andaccountingsystem.
ManagementInformationSystem(MIS)provides
for managementoriented reporting based on
transaction processing and operations of the
organization. An example is a production
schedulingmanagementinformationsystem.
Decision Support System (DSS) either helps to
identify decisionmaking opportunities or
provides information to help make decisions. An
example is a DSS for purchasing decisions like
Consumers Digest that provides product reviews
and shopping tips. Another is a DSS for real
estate decisions, Countrywide which provides
financingcalculatorsandmortgagealternatives.
ExecutiveInformationSystem(EIS)supportsthe
planning and assessment needs of executive
managers.Forexample,anEIScanhelpaCEOto
quickly view sales activity categorized by region,

othermethodsoftheorganization.
Expert System (ES) captures the expertise of
workersandthensimulatesthatexpertisetothe
benefits ofnonexperts. Examples of this are the
systems for the diagnosis of bacteriological
diseases in patients and quality control of
products.
Communications and Collaboration System
(CCS) enables more effective communications
between workers, partners, customers, and
suppliers to enhance their ability to collaborate.
This includes videoconferencing, audio
conferencing, email, voicemail, fax, instant
messagingandchat.
Office Automation System (OAS) supports the
wide range of business office activities that
provide for improved workflow between
workers.Maintypesoftoolsincludespreadsheet
programsandtext&imageprocessingsystems.
Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP)
enables coordination of activities, efficient
response to customer orders and the use of
valuable information for improved decision
making.

INFORMATIONSYSTEMUSERSANDTHEIRNEEDS

System users define the business requirements and


expectations for the system. Hence, they view an
information system in terms of the functionality
provided to their jobs, ease of learning and ease of
use. There are many classes of system users. Each
class should be directly involved in any information

InternalSystemUsers
Internal system users are employees of the
businesses for which most information systems are
built. They make up the largest percentage of
information system users in most businesses. They
include:

Top Managers are concerned with strategic


(longterm)planninganddecisionmaking.
Middle Managers and KnowledgeWorkersMiddle
managers are more concerned with tactical
(shortterm) operational problems and decision
making. Knowledge workers consist largely of
business and industrial specialists who perform

MP3
History and Development

For LP MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a popular audio
encoding format. It uses a lossy compression algorithm that is designed to greatly reduce the
amount of data required to represent the audio recording, yet still sound like a faithful
reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners. It was invented by a team
of European engineers of Philips, CCETT (Centre commun d'tudes de tlvision et
tlcommunications), IRT and Fraunhofer Society, who worked in the framework of the
EUREKA 147 DAB digital radio research program, and it became an ISO/IEC standard in 1991.

MP3 is an audio-specific format. The compression takes off certain sounds that cannot
be heard by the listener, i.e. outside the normal human hearing range. It provides a
representation of pulse-code modulationencoded audio in much less space than
straightforward methods, by using psychoacoustic models to discard components less audible
to human hearing, and recording the remaining information in an efficient manner. Similar
principles are used by JPEG, an image compression format.


I-POD
History and design

iPod came from Apple's digital hub strategy,
[3]
when the company began creating
software for the growing market of digital devices being purchased by consumers. Digital
cameras, camcorders and organizers had well-established mainstream markets, but the
company found existing digital music players "big and clunky or small and useless" with user
interfaces that were "unbelievably awful",
[3]
so Apple decided to develop its own. Apple's
hardware engineering chief, Jon Rubinstein, assembled a team of engineers to design it,
including Tony Fadell, hardware engineer Michael Dhuey, and design engineer Jonathan Ive,
with Stan Ng as the marketing manager. The product was developed in less than a year and
unveiled on 23 October 2001. CEO Steve Jobs announced it as a Mac-compatible product with
a 5 GB hard drive that put "1000 songs in your pocket."

The name iPod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who (with
others) was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. After
Chieco saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase "Open
the pod bay door, Hal!", which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship.
Apple had previously registered the name "iPod" for Internet kiosks, but never put it to use.
[3]

KABUKIANDKABUKICLOTHING

Kabuki(,kabuki?)isthehighlystylizedclassicalJapanesedancedrama.Kabukitheatreis
known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate makeup worn by some of its
performers. The individual kanji characters, from left to right, mean sing (), dance (), and
skill (). Kabuki is therefore sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing." These
are, however, ateji characters which do not reflect actual etymology. The kanji of 'skill'
generally refers to a performer in kabuki theatre. Since the word kabuki is believed to derive
from the verb kabuku, meaning "to lean" or "to be out of the ordinary", kabuki can be
interpretedas"avantgarde"or"bizarre"theatre.

KINDS OF ORCHIDS



Many people are surprised to find that orchids grow in all the continents except
Antarctica. They can be found from the Arctic to the Equator, from here to
west contents.

The family of Orchids contains more species than any other family of plants;
some estimates are now close to 35,000 genera. Yet, interestingly enough
there are essentially two types of orchids or types of growth patterns,
monopodial and sympodial. Most orchids fall into one or the other category and
none of them appear to be a mix of the two. While orchids are readily
hybridized between many different genera of orchids, apparently they are no
crosses that cross this line of this type of orchid.

Essentially there are two different types of orchids and they are called
monopodial and sympodial. Knowing whether the orchid you have is
monopodial or sympodial is important because this information will help you
know how to grow it properly re-bloom it successfully and also gives you clues
as to how to propagate the plant.

Ang isa pang pangkat ng Pilipino sa Luzon ay ang mga Ilokano. Karaniwang nakatira sila
sa bandang hilaga ng Luzon. Ngunit may mga Ilokano rin sa ibang bahagi ng Visayas at
Mindanao. Naninirahan sila sa nga lugar na ito upang maghanapbuhay, mangalakal, o
mag-asawa. Matitipid at masisipag sila. Matatagpuan naman sa kalagitnaan at katimugan
ng Luzon ang mga Tagalog. Sila ang pangalawa sa pinakamalaking pangkat ng Kristiano
sa Pilipinas.
Kilala rin ang mga Mangyan sa Luzon. Matatagpuan sila sa pulo ng Mindoro. Karamihan
sa kanila ay may panlabas na anyo at paraan ng pamumuhay na payak at tulad pa rin ng
ating mga ninuno. Iba-iba rin ang pangkat ng Pilipino sa mha pulo ng Visayas. Isa na rito
ang mga Cebuano na may pinakamalaking pangkat na nasabing rehiyon. Kilala sila sa
katutubong awit na "Matud Nila" at sayaw na Rosas Pandan.
Taga-Visayas din ang mga Ilonggo. Kilala naman sila sa katutubong awit na Dandansoy
at sayaw na Cariosa.
Mga Waray naman ang pangkat ng Pilipino sa Mindanao. ang ilan sa mga ito ay ang mga
Badjao, Maranao, Tausug, Tiboli, at Manobo.
Nakatira sa baybay-dagat ang mga Badjao. Matatagpuan sila mula Zamboanga hanggang
Sulu. Pangingisda ang pangunahing hanap-buhay nila.
Ang pangkat ng mga Tiboli ay naninirahan sa Cotabato. Pagsasaka ang pangunahing
ikina-bubuhay nila.

THE MUSCLES

Classifications
Muscles can be classified in the following ways:
Skeletal muscle - this muscle is called striated or stripey muscle, because it
looks striped under a microscope. Skeletal muscle is a voluntary muscle.
Cardiac muscle - situated in the walls of the heart. It is striated and
involuntary.
Smooth muscle - found in the walls of internal organs, blood vessels and the
digestive, reproductive and urinary systems. Does not have the stripes found in
skeletal muscle. This type of muscle is important in veins as it pushes blood
back towards the heart. It is non-striated and involuntary.
Muscle comprises 40-50% of a person's total body weight.
Characteristics
Excitability - the ability of the muscle to react to stimulus eg reacting when you
touch something hot.
Contractility - the ability to become shorter and thicker.
Extensibility - the ability to become longer and thinner.
Elasticity - the ability to return to its original shape after extending or
contracting.
Functions
Motion
Maintaining posture
Producing heat (approx 85% of body heat)
Note: Superficial muscle lies closer to the surface, can be seen when contracted and
causes movement. Muscles that lie below the superficial muscles are called deep
muscles.
Types of muscle contractions
When a muscle is stimulated, the fibres tighten. The muscle can either shorten
(concentric), stay the same length (isometric) or lengthen (eccentric).
Concentric - muscle shortens but tension remains the same, eg contracting
biceps causes flexion at elbow.

NEW SCIENCE DISCOVERIES

Meteorite Holds Clues to Organic Chemistry of Earl y Earth



Carbonaceous chondrites are a
type of organic-rich meteorite
that contain samples of the
materials that took part in the
creation of our planets nearly 4.6
billion years ago, including
materials that were likely formed
before our Solar System was
created and may have been
crucial to the formation of life on
Earth. The complex suite of
organic materials found in
carbonaceous chondrites can
vary substantially from meteorite
to meteorite.

Temperature Tracking Device for Packages May Have Climate
Metrology Applications



National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST)
researchers are working to
reduce the uncertainty
associated with climate-change
measurements using a mobile
temperature-sensing technology
made for tracking delicate or
perishable, high-value packages
in transit. Developed by
international shipper FedEx and
tested with help from NIST, the
device connects to cell phone
networks to provide users with
near real-time information on the
package's precise location,
temperature, humidity, pressure,
acceleration, elevation and
exposure to light.

Probability

Problem: A spinner has 4 equal sectors colored yellow, blue, green
and red. What are the chances of landing on blue after
spinning the spinner? What are the chances of landing on
red?

Solution: The chances of landing on blue are 1 in 4, or one fourth.
The chances of landing on red are 1 in 4, or one fourth.

This problem asked us to find some probabilities involving a spinner. Let's look at some definitions
and examples from the problem above.

Definition Example
An experiment is a situation involving chance
or probability that leads to results called
outcomes.
In the problem above, the experiment is
spinning the spinner.
An outcome is the result of a single trial of an
experiment.
The possible outcomes are landing on yellow,
blue, green or red.
An event is one or more outcomes of an
experiment.
One event of this experiment is landing on blue.
Probability is the measure of how likely an
event is.
The probability of landing on blue is one fourth.

In order to measure probabilities, mathematicians have devised the following formula for finding
the probability of an event.

Probability Of An Event
P(A) =
The Number Of Ways Event A Can Occur
The total number Of Possible Outcomes

The probability of event A is the number of ways event A can occur divided by the
total number of possible outcomes. Let's take a look at a slight modification of the problem from
the top of the page.

Si Rogelio Sicat Sa Estilo ng Pagkatha




















Ni Marvin Einstein S. Mejaro


Introduksiyon:

Paano nga ba nagsisimula ang isang manunulat? Kailan masasabi naging katha na ang isang
obra? O dili naman, paano masasabi na kailangan pa itong higpitan o banatin, nang sa gayon, ay
mas makayas ng mabuti ang tema, banghay, istruktura, tinig, tono, diyalogo, karakter, at ibat iba
pang sangkap ng isang kuwento? Maraming kuwento kung paanong marami rin namang estilo
sa paggawa nito. Ayon nga kay Gabriel Garcia Marquez, sa edad na dalawaput tatlo, natutunan
na niya ang ibat ibang paraan (techne) na dapat na malaman sa pagkatha dahil lamang sa
pagbabasa ng samut saring kuwento.
Sa simula, aasat sususo ang isang baguhang manunulat sa estilo ng iba. Hindi masama ang
bagay na ito. Kaya lamang, darating ang panahon na dapat mahanap na ng isang manunulat ang
sariling estilo. Kailangan niyang mabatid ang tonot himig niya sa pagkatha. Madugo ang
prosesong ito. Kung tutuusin, madaling magsulat sa paraan ng iba. Ngunit ito ang tunay na
hamon sa lahat ng manunulat: ang takasan ang anino ng kanyang mga impluwensiya at maging
orihinal. Ang pagiging orihinal ang siyang magiging tatak niya bilang manunulat. May mga
nakatatakas sa hamong ito; kaya lamang, sabi nga ni Rio Alma, mas marami ang nagiging bitag
magpakailanman at hindi na nakaaalis sa gubat ng mga impluwensiya.
Isa si Rogelio Sicat (1940 2002) sa mga pinaka-orihinal na manunulat sa Filipino. Kabilang
sa kanyang mga naisulat na nanalo sa Palanca Awards for Literature ang Impeng Negro
(1962), Tata Selo (1963), Mga Kaluluwang Naghahanap (1966), Moses, Moses (1969), at
Saan Papunta ang Paruparo (1970).
Katuwang rin sina Efren Abueg, Edgardo M. Reyes, Rogelio L. Ordoez, Ave Perez Jacob, at
Edgardo Bautista Reyes, sabay-sabay nilang pinasimulan ang isang koleksiyong ng mga
maiikling kuwentong pinamagatang Mga Agos ng Disyerto (1965). Itinuturing ito ngayon na
isa sa mga pangunahing libro na nagpabago sa katha (fiction) sa Filipino. Naging pagsalunga
ang koleksiyong ito sa nooy uniporme at limitadong paraan ng paggawa ng katha na karaniwang
matatagpuan sa magasing Liwayway.
Bukod dito, nagkaroon rin ng bagong paraan ng pagkatha lalo na sa kuwentong realismo sa
Filipino. Iba ang mga paksa na naisulat sa Mga Agos ng Disyerto (1965), malayo sa
kuwentong mababasa sa Liwayway. Sa katunayan, inayawan ng Liwayway ang kuwento ni Sicat
na Tata Selo (1963), kung saan siya naging tanyag, at kinailangan pa niyang ilipat ito sa The
Quezonian, ang opisyal na pahayagan ng Manila L. Quezon University (MLQU). Kalaunan,
nanalo ang Tata Selo (1963) ng pangalawang gantimpala sa maikling kuwento noong taong
ding iyon sa Palanca, at naisalin na ngayon sa ibat ibang lengguwahe pati na sa Russo.
Magandang itanong ngayon: Sino ang naging pangunahing impluwensiya ni Sicat upang
matutunan ang sariling estilo? Ano ang mga ilang paraan niya sa pagsusulat ng katha? At paano
nga ba maging orihinal sa paggawa ng katha, maging orihinal na kuwentista?

ABSTRACT

Electricity comes in many forms, but in reality, electric charge is form through an
interaction of the sub-atomic level of matter. In many substances, including human being
which produces static electricity, electric charges are present with varying degree.

In our current situation, with the depletion of the main source of power energy -- which
is oil from the middle-east, we are experiencing a steady rise of electric bills. And this problem
affects all of us that depend on electricity whose source is from non-renewable energy.

In a situation like this, we should think of a solution of using alternate source of power
from renewable energy source which is both easy to produce and non harmful to the
environment when disposed.

We often consume too much power in our kitchen area, but, dont you know that the
one of the solutions to our increasing demand for energy can also be found in our kitchens?

We would like to present through this research a good source of energy that can be
found in our own home. It is the common potato that is usually an ingredient to our many
dishes. If you think that potato is just an ordinary vegetable, then, you are wrong. A small
potato is not just nutritious, but is also packed with an energy enough to generate an electric
charge of 0.2 flowing electricity. So, if a small potato can generate only 0.2 flowing electricity,
how much electricity can a big potato generate? How many potatoes are we going to use just
to power our common appliances like a computer which consumes 2.42 electricity? And these
questions we are hoping to answer.

Our other intention is for this project to help parents alleviate their problems on the
increasing electrical bills, and to encourage others to use renewable energy from natural
resources to lessen their electric consumption.

So, we hope that this investigatory project would be successful.

TimeofDay

The sun is highest in the sky around noon. At this


time, the suns rays have the least distance to
travelthroughtheatmosphereandUVBlevelsare
at their highest. In the early morning and late
afternoon, the suns rays pass through the
atmosphere at an angle and their intensity is
greatlyreduced.

TimeofYear

The suns angle varies with the seasons, causing


the intensity of UV rays to change. UV intensity

Latitude

the sun is most directly overhead and UV rays

tropics compared to the mid and highlatitudes,
so there is less ozone to absorb the UV radiation
as it passes through the atmosphere. At higher
latitudes, the sun is lower in the sky, so UV rays

WHAT IS PNEUMONIA?
Pneumonia is a serious infection and/or inflammation of your lungs. The air sacs in the
lungs fill with pus and other liquid. Oxygen has trouble reaching your blood. If there is too
little oxygen in your blood, your body cells can't work properly. Because of this and
spreading infection through the body pneumonia can cause death.

Until 1936, pneumonia was the No.1 cause of death in the U.S.
Since then, the use of antibiotics brought it under control. In
2004, pneumonia and influenza combined ranked as the eighth
leading cause of death.

Pneumonia affects your lungs in two ways. Lobar pneumonia
affects a section (lobe) of a lung. Bronchial pneumonia (or bronchopneumonia) affects
patches throughout both lungs.

CAUSES OF PNEUMONIA
Pneumonia is not a single disease. It can have over 30 different causes. There are five
main causes of pneumonia:
Bacteria
Viruses
Mycoplasmas
Other infectious agents, such as fungi - including pneumocystis
Various chemicals


BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA
Bacterial pneumonia can attack anyone from infants through the elderly. Alcoholics, the
debilitated, post-operative patients, people with respiratory diseases or viral infections and
people who have weakened immune systems are at greater risk.
Pneumonia bacteria are present in some healthy throats. When body defenses are
weakened in some way, by illness, old age, malnutrition, general debility or impaired
immunity, the bacteria can multiply and cause serious damage. Usually, when a person's
resistance is lowered, bacteria work their way into the lungs and inflame the air sacs.
The tissue of part of a lobe of the lung, an entire lobe, or even most of the lung's five lobes
becomes completely filled with liquid (this is called "consolidation"). The infection quickly
spreads through the bloodstream and the whole body is invaded.
The organism streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of bacterial
pneumonia. It is one form of pneumonia for which a vaccine is available.
Symptoms: The onset of bacterial pneumonia can vary from gradual to sudden. In the most
severe cases, the patient may experience shaking chills, chattering teeth, severe chest
pain and a cough that produces rust-colored or greenish mucus

Pneumonia can have over
30 different causes.
