KNOWLEGE

The Knowledge Master Open (commonly known as Knowledge Masters or KMO) was a computer-based semiannual worldwide academic competition in which teams of students from many schools earned points by answering multiple-choice questions quickly and accurately. The questions included fifteen subject areas: American history, world history, government, recent events, economics & law, geography, literature, English, math, physical science, biology, earth science, health & psychology, fine arts, and useless trivia.[1]
The competition started in 1983 with 74 schools. In 2009, there were about 45,000 participants from over 3,000 high schools and middle schools in the U.S. and other countries. The last contest occurred in April of 2013. Over the 30 years of KMO competition, more than 2.4 million students participated. [2]
There were five levels of competition. 5th and 6th grade contests were held in January and March and consisted of one hundred questions. On the other hand, middle school (up to grade 8), junior high (up to grade 9), and high school (up to grade 12) contests were held in December and April and consisted of two hundred questions.

ART

< This article is about the general concept of art. For people named Art, see Arthur. For other uses, see Art (disambiguation). Clockwise from upper left: a self-portrait from Vincent van Gogh, an African Chokwe statue, detail from the Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli and a Japanese Shisa lion Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential—in a way that they usually are not in a painting, for example. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts.[1] Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences, but in modern usage the fine arts, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, are distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts. Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its reflection of life), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities. During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science".[2] Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed[3][4][5] and has changed over time, general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency[6] and creation.[7] The nature of art, and related concepts such as creativity and interpretation, are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.[8]

SOCIAL science


WHAT IS SOCIAL SCIENCE?

 Social science refers to the academic disciplines concerned with society and the relationships among individuals within a society, which often rely primarily on empirical approaches. It is commonly used as an umbrella term to refer to anthropology, economics, political science, psychology and sociology. In a wider sense, it may often include some fields in the humanities[1] such as archaeology, area studies, communication studies, cultural studies, folkloristics, history, law, linguistics, and rhetoric. The term may however be used in the specific context of referring to the original science of society, established in 19th century, sociology (Latin: socius, "companion"; Greek λόγος, lógos, "word", "knowledge", "study."). Émile Durkheim, Karl Marx and Max Weber are typically cited as the principal architects of modern social science by this definition.[2] Positivist social scientists use methods resembling those of the natural sciences as tools for understanding society, and so define science in its stricter modern sense. Interpretivist social scientists, by contrast, may use social critique or symbolic interpretation rather than constructing empirically falsifiable theories, and thus treat science in its broader sense. In modern academic practice, researchers are often eclectic, using multiple methodologies (for instance, by combining the quantitative and qualitative techniques). The term social research has also acquired a degree of autonomy as practitioners from various disciplines share in its aims and methods.[citation needed]

sslc

he Indian system of education fundamentally consists of five years of primary schooling, followed by five years of secondary schooling. The SSLC must be obtained at the end of term of study at the secondary school, after which a student can study at a higher secondary school, which is sometimes called a Pre-University Course (PUC), for two years. After this twelve-year period of study a student may enter a university for undergraduate studies, or may choose to pursue a shorter diploma course in a technical field of study. Alternatively, after obtaining the SSLC, a student may choose to attend an industrial training institute where one can be trained in skills necessary for technical occupations.
Importance of the SSLC
The SSLC is obtained by passing a public examination, i.e., an examination that has been formulated by the regional board of education that the school is affiliated with, and not by members of the faculty of the school. The performance of a student in the SSLC examination is the key factor in obtaining admission to a higher secondary school of choice, where acceptance is typically based on the results of the SSLC examination. Therefore, the SSLC is often regarded as the first important examination that a student undertakes.

vaccation


Delicious food, decadent desserts, and the stress that comes so naturally with travel are just a few of the reasons travelers might want to stick to their exercise regime while on vacation. Whether you are traveling on business or for pleasure, you shouldn’t forgo working out simply because you are not at home or near your gym. Because travel can cause a great deal of stress, exercise is more important than ever as it can help to alleviate that stress and keep your waistline from expanding from all that vacation eating. Fitness Facilities Since you won’t be near your own gym, it is important that you research your hotel before booking it to ensure it is equipped with adequate workout equipment. Business or pleasure, you want to choose a hotel that has a fitness facility and/or exercise classes. Some hotels offer yoga classes and even beach fitness classes that allow you to get in a good workout and maintain your good health in between margaritas or meetings. Most hotels are equipped with a fitness room that includes treadmills, elliptical machines, and even weight machines. Make sure to do some research before booking a hotel in order to get the best out of your stay. On a recent trip to Maui I was able to book a hotel that had a 24-hour gym by using a site called Gogobot in order to do some research beforehand. Here I was given a list of Maui hotels that I could make a distinction about which hotels had the correct facilities. This way I could get my early morning weights in and hit the beach all day. Running on Vacation If you are not fond of the gym or you simply enjoy checking out the sights in a new city or town, running outdoors is always an option while you travel. A fun way to keep exercise from becoming boring is to run along new trails or along the city streets while taking in the view. Running is a great form of exercise as it helps to relieve the joint pain you might begin to experience after long bouts of sitting in airports, cars, or flights. It can relieve stress, improve your mood, and it gives you the opportunity to work out while becoming acquainted with the local area. Stress and the Business Traveler It’s not uncommon to experience a great deal of stress when traveling for business. Between leaving home, missing your family, spending extra time with coworkers or potential clients, and spending day after day in meetings can cause you to feel a little anxious. You can beat the stress of business travel by taking the time to work out during your travels. Every bit of exercise helps to relieve your travel stress. You don't have to spend hours in the fitness room. You can exercise by donning your swimsuit and heading to the pool to cool off and swim a few laps at the same time. If you are at a hotel with a basketball or tennis court, you can even challenge a coworker to a quick match to get some exercise. No one said it has to be boring.

Four Hidden Diet Killers: How You May Be Undermining Your Weight Loss Efforts Presented By: EJ Cooksey | 9/28/2010 01:08:00 PM Diet , Food processing , Guest Posts , Health , How To Get A Flat Stomach , Weight Loss 0 comments Guest post by: Alexis Bonari Diet killers surround us. They come in the form of preprepared foods on our supermarket shelves and from our favorite restaurants. Choosing your food wisely can make or break your diet plans. Here are four of the worst offenders to guard against: 1. High fat extras. It’s no secret that restaurants add high fat, high calorie ingredients to their food whenever they can. Adding fat is a cheap, easy way to make food taste better than it really is. High fat hamburger makes extra tasty hamburgers without any added seasoning. A salad loaded with cheese and cream based dressing is more cheaply prepared than a salad loaded with dried fruit, grilled shrimp, and quality balsamic vinaigrette. Educate yourself about calorie counts in common foods. You’ll soon realize that many of your favorite foods can be modified to pack a lower calorie punch. A choice as simple as switching from a regular size cheeseburger to a small hamburger for lunch can reduce your daily intake by 300 calories. 2. Out of control portion sizes. European and Asian countries are notorious for their rich foods. Why, then, do Americans and Australians have such a hard time controlling their weight? The answer is simple: portion sizes are out of control. It all started out quite innocently. We wanted more for our money, and restaurants obliged by giving us more, lower quality food. When ordering at a restaurant, consider eating half of the meal and taking the other half home for a future meal. This will save you money and inches on your waist. 3. False diet friends. Not all diet foods are diet friendly. One great example of a false diet friend is turkey bacon. On the surface, turkey bacon seems like a great idea. The average package of turkey bacon cites boasts a calorie count half as high per serving as regular bacon. Here’s where the catch comes in: the serving sizes on many brands of turkey bacon are half the serving sizes listed on packages of regular bacon. The total number of calories from fat is the same, ounce for ounce. The average consumer of bacon will eat the same amount or more of the turkey bacon, believing that they’re limiting their calories. Before spending extra money on “diet” foods, be sure to read the label and compare portion sizes. Also, be on the lookout for cheap fillers and excessive levels of artificial sweeteners and salt. 4. Added sugars. Sugar is another go-to additive for food preparers wanting to make food more “tasty” for less money. McDonalds and other fast food chains habitually add sugar to their hamburger buns to improve their overall taste. Excessive levels of sugar wreak havoc with your metabolism. A high level of processed sugar causes your blood sugar to follow a roller coaster-like pattern. If your blood sugar peaks and then takes a nose-dive several times daily, your body guards against a potential impending famine by storing fat. Limiting processed sugars and eating small meals regularly will encourage your body to shed the pounds without starvation or excessive exercise.

dream

What would you do with a million dollars? I'd buy your loooooooooooove. Bonus points to those BlogFans who get that reference. Seriously, though...a million bucks. Do we mean million pre-tax, or a million under the table? It's my blog, so I'm going to say that it's not taxed. I would pay off my house ($334,000). I would pay off our student loans ($27,500). I would pay off cars, credit cards, and other miscellaneous floating debts ($36,000). I would put a large sum of money for each of my kids [and some for the third baby I dream of having] in the hands of a responsible investor ($300,000). I would give fifty thousand to each of our siblings ($150,000). I would pay off our parents homes and debts, which, thankfully, isn't much 'cause we're cutting it down to the wire, methinks ($150,000). That leaves me with like $2500, if my calculations are correct. With that, I'd take the kids someplace fun for the week
