Historical Note

Cartesian Coordinate System

Did you know that Rene Descartes (1596-1650), is one of the greatest scientists of the 17th century, devised and used two perpendicular number lines to identify points in a plane. This is the reason why it is called the Cartesian Coordinate System.

It was Descartes who founded Analytic Geometry, and established the link between algebra and geometry through graphing. However, he did not consider himself a mathematician because of his great love for philosophy. Today, he is often, referred to as the ''Father of Modern Philosophy''.

Long and Thin Legs

Women fortunate enough to have been born tall and with long legs can usually get away with any type of shoes. If the length of your legs bothers you, wear low-heel strappy shoes. The horizontal bands of the shoes can help ''break up'' the length of your legs. Higher heels will actually make your legs look longer, so stick with lower heels. But I suggest keep your legs looking long.

If you have long legs and are planning to wear boots, be sure that they don't end half way up your calf at the widest part. That will make your legs look thicker.

Factors to Consider in Choosing a Lifetime Partner

Selecting a lifetime partner can sometimes be planned or it can happen suddenly. To some, it requires a lot of knowing, accepting or respecting until he/she finds that special someone.

Some people upon having a stable job may consider marriage as the next step to attend to his/her life. In the process of selecting one's mate, several factors must be considered.

1. Physical attractiveness -to some, this is the first to consider.

2. Propinquity or nearness - people who are always together because they do things together gets attracted to each other.

3. Basic similarities - similarity of religion, ethic groups or social status can be a factor in selecting a certain individual whom you may consider to be your future mate.

4. Common interest - people got attracted to each other because of common set of values or interest or are able to enjoy common activities.

5. Reciprocal feelings - young people have the notion that because a certain individual is attracted to him/her he or she also gets attracted to the same person.

6. Practicality - when a person is referred by another because of his/her looks, age and his/her family background.

Avoiding Signs of Nervousness

Everyone is nervous when he stands before a group. It is learning to hide nervousness, or disguise it, that is the trick. A quivering voice trembling hands, quaking knees-none of these inspires confidence. You must learn to relax and give the impression of quite self-confidence that will make your audience respect you.

The fist step in appearing confident is to be confident. Know well what you are going to say and how are you going to say it. When you are sure of yourself, your audience will sense your confidence and they will be interested in hearing what you have to say.

As you wait your turn to speak, you may find yourself questioning anxiously: Do I remember the opening? What was that statistics? Did I jot down enough notes? This last-minutes tenseness is common but controllable. You have already prepared your speech; remembering that fact will help you to remain calm. Try breathing deeply and imagine the feeling of satisfaction you will have when your speech is successfully completed. Focus your attention on the speaker now giving his talk. When it is your turn, step forward calmly, glance at the audience, and begin speaking to them confidently.

General Impression

From the moment you walk unto the stage or to the front of the room, your listeners from impressions of you. These impressions reflect on what you have to say. If, dressed in blue jeans and a sweat shirt, you begin to deliver a formal address, on your judgment is immediately questioned. The same would be true if you stood before your class in black coat and tie to give a book report. When speaking in public, you should look relaxed, clean, and neat. Shined shoes, brushed hair, well-pressed clothes-all ass to the good impression you want to make. Your general appearance, like your manner, should not call attention to itself; it should be neither contrived and theatrical nor careless and sloppy.

She is always beside me even if in good and bad times. So now, I would like to greet Hen in her 15th Birthday!. Thanks Hen for all, and for being always here to me. I wish more birthday to come and blessings! ..

Expressive Words

Many words have two kinds of meaning denotation, a basic and literal meaning, and connotation, an associated meaning that implies or suggest more than it specifically denotes. For example, Kundiman not only denotes Filipino music but suggest a love song, usually melancholy and plaintive, sung by a discouraged lover to the girl he admires.

The denotation and connotation of a word or phrase determine its expressiveness. When we are explaining or arguing, we use specific words that are exact and appropriate; and the words are chosen primarily for their denotation (actual meaning). However, when we are telling stories or writing description or verses, we choose words that are rich in connotation (suggestive meaning) to stimulate the imagination and arouse the feelings of our listeners and readers.

Do you have motivation?

Determine whether you really want to succeed in your career. If you are serious in your career goals, then you will do whatever takes, within ethical limits, to succeed.

Some people want a promotion, but they are not willing to put in the effort to train themselves; show that they can perform; be there for the company, the team, and their bosses when they are most needed; or prove that they can be team players and work well with others. Some are not willing to read a book to sharpen their thinking. Some are not willing to leave their houses a little earlier to make sure they are on time at the office all the time. Some might even be subconsciously afraid of the added responsibility that a promotion will bring.

In these cases, your wish for a promotion will not be granted. On the other hand, if you really desire a promotion, then, bring dirty tricks, you will do everything to deserve the promotion. Then, promotion becomes a "gift" which your employer will willingly give you and not a "right" that must be demanded.

The best way to pack that BALIKBAYAN box

Yes, we Filipinos are unstoppable shoppers and pasalubong monsters whenever we travel. The problem is, we always seem to forget that after all that shopping will come a day when we have to pack. 3M share some tips to help us get through that dreadful packing day:

• Getting prepared. Gather these materials before you even start packing: permanent marker, pencil, scissors, calculator, garbage bags, knife, 3M Scotch Masking Tape, 3M Scotch Packaging or Duct Tape, weighing scale. Ask your airline what their allowable weight limit is.
  
• Getting sturdy. Reinforce your balikbayan box before stuffing it with your goodies by lining the bottom, corners, and sides with 3M Packaging or Duct Tape. Then line the entire box with garbage bags to keep your things from spilling, just in case your box accidentally opens.
  
• Getting organized. Group all products together according to category: breakable, non breakables, liquid bottles. Wrap all breakables with bubble wrap or clothing like socks and sweaters. Use non-breakables like canned goods and books to line the bottom of the box. Seal all bottled liquids like shampoo, lotion, perfume with 3M Masking Tape to keep them from spilling.
  

SSS and Pag-ibig

How many years have you been contributing to these institutions?

Someone once said, "Money not taken cared of is money lost." There are many opportunities awaiting us, many investments we have not seen or heard of yet. There are many money traps we can fall into if we neglect to do simple things like paying bills on time or balancing checkbooks regularly. The only way to get rid of this phenomenon in our lives is to manage money properly and be diligent in our system of updating and budgeting . Take time out each day to do your homework, and you'll realize that many money problems can be avoided if we just plan and manage our money properly.

Landforms of the Philippines

Let us start this section by giving a general description of our country. The Philippines is made up of islands, some 7,107 of them; hence, it is described as fragmentary.

Water

Did You Know?

Water enters the roots of plants and reaches all parts of plant body primarily through capillarity, although there are other factors that facilitate the process. Most big plants have very fine tubes, called xylem vessels through which water travels inside the plant body. In the leaves, you can see bundles of these tubes in the form of leaf veins.

Factors to Consider in Harvesting to Command Good Price

1. Gather farm products especially leaves in the morning to have the best flavor and appearance.

2. Care should be observed in harvesting and until they reach the market to avoid damage and bruises.

3. Sort out crop products according to ripenness, size and quality. Crops of uniform ripenness should be packed together to avoid rotting. Uniform size and quality is also considered in packing.

4. All root crops should be washed after harvest. Drain water and let it air dry before storing or marketing.

The Living Room

The living room is considered as the center of the house. It is in this place where you meet other members of the family, your relatives, friends and guests. It is therefore necessary to make this place restful and cheerful. The color scheme should be planned so that each member of the family feels relaxed and happy. Avoid colors that are very delicate and feminine. These colors might make men and boys uncomfortable. In the same manner, bold and strong colors should be avoided to prevent women and girls from feeling overpowered or overwhelmed. This room is used in many ways with a variety of pieces of furniture and furnishings, than any other room of the house. It is therefore imperative to use a simple color scheme. Too much color will make the room appear cluttered and give the effect of restlessness.

Lifestyles

Families today are more aware of their needs. This awareness enables them to provide for better facilities than those found in houses in the past. People now desire for a more convenient and comfortable home arrangement, time and energy saving gadgets or equipment, durable and attractive construction materials and good sites. In most instances, these needs result in more expensive housing but at the same time add to a greater value.

Badminton is played over the net using a shuttlecock being struck before it lands on your court, back to the opponents court.

Values are learned from one's culture, environment, family, friends and individual experiences. The church, print media and television also play an important role in the formation of individual groups or familial value patterns. Some values are seen held high by a culture.

Improving Your Speech

People judge you by what you do or say. The way you appears to others reveals your personality. Your speech - the words you use, how you use them, and the tone of your voice - is also directly related to your personality. What do you think of the girl who mumbles when she speaks? Do you respect the boy who uses coarse language?

Here are some tips you should observe when you speak:

First of all, speak clearly. This will make your voice pleasing and your message well understood. Do not swallow your words. Learn to control your breathing. Shallow breathing prevents you from speaking clearly. Fill your lungs with air, expand your chest, and your raise your shoulders and throw them back.

Secondly, speak in a moderate tone of voice. Girls' voices are pitched higher than boys'. Study what pitch is pleasing and easy for you, and speak in that pitch. Remember that a loud high-pitched voice is irritating. Likewise, if you speak low and too softly, your listeners will gave to strain themselves to hear what you are saying and may soon simple ignore you.

How to Extract DNA?

The abbreviation stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, a double-stranded nucleic acid, in which the two strands twist together to form a helix. The strands consist of sugar and phosphate groups, the sugars being attached to a base - adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine. In DNA the bases paired with thymine and guanine with cytosine. DNA forms the basis of inheritance in all organisms, except viruses, the DNA code being sufficient to build and control the organism. DNA is located in the nucleus of all cells; it is the substance of the chromosomes that separate out from the nucleus when cells divide, and it carries the genes, each of which is a segment of DNA molecule. A small fraction of total DNA is present in mitochondrial proteins. This DNA is passed down the female line from the mitochondria contained in the ovum.

I Was Born Today

Everyday that dawns, you must say to yourself, I was born today. The world is new to me. This light that I behold strikes my unclouded eyes for the first time. The rains that scatters its crystal drops is my big day.

Then let us live a pure life, A shining life! Already yesterday is lost. Was it bad? Was it beautiful? Let it be forgotten. And of that yesterday let there remain only the essence, the precious gold of what I loved and suffered as I walked along the road.

Today every moments shall bring feelings of well-being and cheer, and the reason for my existence, my most urgent resolve, will be to spread happiness all over the world, to pour the wine of goodness into the eager mouths around me.

My Simple Thoughts

A. Many people were killed. Properties were damaged. Billions of pesos were lost. All because of the flash flood caused by the typhoon. The flash flood came down from the denuded mountains surrounding the town.

B. Many animals that lived in the past could no longer be seen now. Many of them died or migrated to other places because of the changes made by people in the environment. The places where these animals lived where converted into dwelling places, roads, and bridges. Trees had been cut down. Rivers and seas had become polluted.

My First Elevator Ride

I had always been afraid of heights. Just looking at the tall buildings makes my stomach churn. One day, my father brought me to his cousins office at the 20Th floor at the Ayala Building. From the ground floor, we entered a cubicle where other people were all standing. A man in uniform kept on pushing buttons with numbers which were lighted. Once in a while, the door open and people got out while some came in. I felt so enclosed and seemed to be hanging from nowhere. I just wished we would go out from this steel room. Finally, the number twenty button was lighted. The door opened. My farther and I got out from the cubicle. "whew! I just had my first ride on the elevator.

Family Size And Food Needs

A family is a universal institution made up of individuals living together because of blood relation or marriage. It is in the family where love first develop. Members show this love and affection for one another in varied ways.

The quality of life of the family is however, affected to great extent by its size. Large families with more food, compared to small ones, if all members were to be adequately nourished. Usually, smaller families can provide bigger budget for their food need since there are only few members in a large family where food is likely to be limited, choice must be done carefully to ensure the supply of nutrients needed to sustain the health of every members.

The quality of life of the family is however. affected to great extent by its size, large families are those with four (4) or more members. They need to provide more foods, compared to small families, if all members are to be adequately nourished. Usually smaller families with three (3) or less members, can provide bigger budget for their needs, since there are only few members.

Poor health results when family members do not meet their nutritional needs. Family size affects the amount of food that must be provided and made available for the consumption of members. More importantly, its affect the adequacy of nutrients that members get from what is available to eat.

Ulcer

Ulcer is an open sore in the skin on mucous membrane. A section of the covering membrane, the epithelium , breaks down and dies, leaving a raw area that heals slowly. A wound is not an ulcer.

Ulcers are likely to form on some part of the body which has poor blood circulation. Even a small injury on that part may lead to ulceration. The condition is common on legs with varicose veins. It is important to heal ulcers of the lips or skin, in order to prevent other conditions such as cancer from occurring.

Many persons have peptic ulcers (ulcers in the lining structure) in the stomach. Even more have peptic ulcers in the duodenum, the part of the intestine immediately below the stomach. Some of the causes or conditions that may lead to ulcers include heredity, nervous strain, poor circulation, or bad diet. But too much gastic juice is considered the real cause of stomach ulcers. Excess acid in the stomach keeps the ulcer from healing and help keep it chronic. Ulcers of this kind usually cause pain and distress in the pit of the stomach. They may sometimes bleed, and are most dangerous when they perorate (eat through) the organ. This may lead to peritonitis. Stomach ulcers are treated with alkaline drugs and careful diet. Some ulcers require surgical treatment.<>
Ulcers on the eyeball are dangerous. When a tooth ulcerates, an ulcer may form on the gum when pus has gathered around the root.

United Nations

UNITED NATIONS (UN) is an organization of 132 nations that works for world peace and security and betterment of mankind. Countries of every part of the world belong to the UN. They range in size from Russia to the Maldives. Each member nation sends representatives to UN headquarters in New York City, where they discuss and try to solve problems.
The United Nations has two main goals: peace and human dignity. If fighting between two or more countries breaks out anywhere, the UN may be asked to try to stop it. After the fighting stops, the UN may help work out ways to keep out from the starting again. But the UN tries above all to deal with problems and disputes before they lead to fighting. It seeks the causes of war and tries to find ways to eliminate them.
