Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje*, Macedonia, on August 26**, 1910. Her family was of Albanian descent. At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of God. She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ. At the age of eighteen she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India. After a few months' training in Dublin she was sent to India, where on May 24, 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun. From 1931 to 1948 Mother Teresa taught at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta, but the suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent walls made such a deep impression on her that in 1948 she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta. Although she had no funds, she depended on Divine Providence, and started an open-air school for slum children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and financial support was also forthcoming. This made it possible for her to extend the scope of her work.

On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her own order, "The Missionaries of Charity", whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the Society became an International Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul VI. Today the order comprises Active and Contemplative branches of Sisters and Brothers in many countries. In 1963 both the Contemplative branch of the Sisters and the Active branch of the Brothers was founded. In 1979 the Contemplative branch of the Brothers was added, and in 1984 the Priest branch was established. The Society of Missionaries has spread all over the world, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They provide effective help to the poorest of the poor in a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and they undertake relief work in the wake of natural catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and famine, and for refugees. The order also has houses in North America, Europe and Australia, where they take care of the shut-ins, alcoholics, homeless, and AIDS sufferers. The Missionaries of Charity throughout the world are aided and assisted by Co-Workers who became an official International Association on March 29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one million Co-Workers in more than 40 countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their families. Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards. Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997. "The Little Mermaid" (Danish: Den lille havfrue, literally: the little seawoman) is a popular fairy tale by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen about a young mermaid willing to give up her life in the sea and her identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul and the love of a human prince. Written originally as a ballet, the tale was first published in 1837 and has been adapted to various media including musical theatre and animated film. Diana, Princess of Wales (Diana Frances;[N 1] ne Spencer; 1 July 1961 31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, whom she married on 29 July 1981. She was also well known for her fundraising work for international charities, and an eminent celebrity of the late 20th century. Her wedding to the Prince of Wales, held at St Paul's Cathedral, was seen by a global television audience of over 750 million. While married she bore the courtesy titlesPrincess of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesay, Countess of Chester andBaroness of Renfrew. The marriage produced two sons, the princes William and Harry,[2]currently second and third in line to the thrones of the 16 Commonwealth realms.

Ratio and Proportion formulas: 1> A ratio of a and b is denoted by a:b and is read as: a is to b. in a ratio the first part ( a in our example ) is called Antecedent and second part ( b in our example ) is called Consequent.

2> A duplicate ratio is the ratio of second degree of the original ratio. For example the duplicate ratio of

is

3> A triplicate ratio is the ratio of third degree of the original ratio. For example the triplicate ratio of

is 4> A sub-Duplicate ratio is the ratio of half degree of the original ratio. For example the sub-duplicate ratio

of is 5> A sub-triplicate ratio is the ratio of one third degree of the original ratio. For example the sub-triplicate

ratio of is 6> The ratio obtained by multiplying two or more ratios term wise is called compounded ratio.

for example compounded ratio of ratios

7> The ratio obtained by adding two or more ratios term wise is called Addendo.

for example Addendo ratio of ratios , , is 7> A proportion of ratios a:b and c:d is denoted by: a:b :: c:d where a and d are called Extremes and b and c are called means.

8> If in a proportion a:b :: b:c :: c:d , proportion of a , b, c &d.

then the proportion is said to be a continued

9> If a:b :: b:c :: c:d or c = dk , b=ck=dk2 and a=bk=ck2=dk3

is a continued proportion then,
