Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a

rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 10

feet high mounted to a backboard at each end. It was invented in 1891
by James Naismith, a teacher at a YMCA in Springfield,
Massachusetts, who was looking for an indoor recreational activity. A
team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket
being defended by the opposition team during regular play. A field goal
scores three points for the shooting team if the player shoots from
behind the three-point line, and two points if shot from in front of the
line. A team can also score via free throws, which are worth one point,
after the other team is assessed with certain fouls. The team with the
most points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime)
is issued when the score is tied at the end of regulation. The ball can
be advanced on the court by throwing it to a teammate, or by bouncing
it while walking or running (dribbling). It is a violation to lift, or drag,
one's pivot foot without dribbling the ball, to carry it, or to hold the
ball with both hands then resume dribbling.

Ang dula ay isang uri ng panitikan. Nahahati ito sa ilang yugto na

maraming tagpo. Pinakalayunin nitong itanghal ang mga tagpo sa isang
tanghalan o entablado. Ang tagpo sa dula ay ang paglabas-masok sa
tanghalan ng mga tauhan. Ang mga taong dalubhasa sa larangan ng
pagsusulat ng mga dulang itinatanghal ay tinatawag na mga mandudula,
dramatista, o dramaturgo. Gaya ng ibang panitikan, ang karamihan sa
mga dulang itinatanghal ay hango sa totoong buhay maliban na lamang sa
iilang dulang likha ng malikhain at malayang kaisipan.
Lahat ng itinatanghal na dula ay naaayon sa isang nakasulat na dula
na tinatawag na iskrip. Ang iskrip ng isang dula ay iskrip lamang at hindi
dula, sapagkat ang tunay na dula ay yaong pinanonood na sa isang
tanghalan na pinaghahandaan at batay sa isang iskrip.
Ang tagpo ay ang paglabas-masok sa tanghalan ng mga tauhan.
Ang dula ay mayroon ding sangkap.Ito ay simula, gitna, at wakas.
Simula - mamamalas dito ang tagpuan, tauhan, at sulyap sa suliranin.
Gitna - matatagpuan ang saglit na kasiglahan, ang tunggalian, at ang
kasukdulan. Wakas - matatagpuan naman dito ang kakalasan at ang
kalutasan.

Nail care refers to the proper maintenance of the

fingernails and toenails. Nail care is important because
it helps prevent nail problems, such as fungal nail
infections and ingrown toenails. However, in some
cases, nail problems are symptoms of an underlying
medical condition, such as an infection throughout the
body. In order to maintain healthy nails, it is
recommended that individuals keep the nails clean,
trimmed, and moisturized.

It is a plane which has a horizontal line (x axis) and

a vertical line (y axis). It is also known as coordinate
plane. The horizontal directed line is called the x-axis
and the vertical directed line is called the y-axis. The
point of intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis is
called the origin and is denoted by the letter O.

Early works of Japanese literature were heavily

influenced by cultural contact with China and Chinese
literature, often written in Classical Chinese. Indian literature
also had an influence through the Diffusion of Buddhism in
Japan. Eventually, Japanese literature developed into a
separate style in its own right as Japanese writers began
writing their own works about Japan, although the influence
of Chinese literature and Classical Chinese remained until the
end of the Edo period. Since Japan reopened its ports to
Western trading and diplomacy in the 19th century, Western
and Eastern literature have strongly affected each other and
continue to do so.

Ang pakikipagkaibigan ay isang higit na malalim na

uri ng pakikipag-ugnayan sa kapwa kaysa karaniwan. Ang
halaga ng pakikipagkaibigan ay nababatay sa pagpapakita
ng mga sumusunod na pagpapahalaga ng magkaibigan sa
isat isa: 1) ang pagnanais ng makabubuti para sa kaibigan;
2) pakikiramay at pakikiisang damdamin; 3) pagiging totoo;
4) pagiging maunawain at mapag-alala; 5) pagtitiwala (na
hindi huhusgahan ng kaibigan); 6) pagbibigayan.

Macedonian king Alexander the Great (356-323

B.C.) was born to parents King Philip II and Queen
Olympia. Tutored by Aristotle, the prince took charge of
the Companion Cavalry at age 18 and aided Philip in
defeating the Athenian and Theban armies at Chaeronea.
After the death of his father, Alexander garnered the
support of the Macedonian Army and eliminated his
enemies to become king and leader of the Corinthian
League. Alexander went on to conquer Persia and Egypt,
his kingdom ranging from the Mediterranean to the
border of India. Just 32 when he died from malaria, he is
regarded as one of historys brilliant military leaders and
most powerful rulers.

A watershed is an area of land that feeds all the water

running under it and draining off of it into a body of
water. It combines with other watersheds to form a
network of rivers and streams that progressively drain
into larger water areas. Topography determines where
and how water flows. Ridge tops surrounding a body of
water determine the boundary of a watershed. Imagine
turning an open umbrella upside down in the rain. Rain
that hits anywhere within the umbrella's surface area
would go to the bottom at the center of the umbrella.
Any rain that didn't hit the umbrella would fall to the
ground. The umbrella is like a watershed; it collects
everything that falls into it.

Arnis, also known as Eskrima and Kali, is the national sport and martial art of
the Philippines. The three are roughly interchangeable umbrella terms for the
traditional martial arts of the Philippines ("Filipino Martial Arts," or FMA) that
emphasize weapon-based fighting with sticks, knives, bladed weapons and various
improvised weapons. It is also known as Estoque (Spanish for rapier), Estocada
(Spanish for thrust or stab) and Garrote (Spanish for club). In Luzon they may go by
the name of Arnis de Mano.
The indigenous martial art that the Spanish encountered in 1610 was not yet
called "arnis" at that time. During those times, this martial art was known as
Paccalicali-t to the Ibanags,[2] Didya (later changed to Kabaroan) to the Ilocanos,
Sitbatan or Kalirongan to Pangasinenses, Sinawali to the Kapampangans ("to weave"),
Calis or Pananandata (use of weapons) to the Tagalogs, Pagaradman to the Ilonggos and
Kaliradman to the Cebuanos. Kuntaw and Silat are separate martial arts that are also
practiced in the Philippine Archipelgo. Arnis also includes hand-to-hand combat, joint
locks, grappling and weapon disarming techniques. Although in general, emphasis is put
on weapons for these arts, some systems put empty hands as the primary focus and
some old school systems do not teach weapons at all.

An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking and

movement of large sections (tectonic plates) of the earth's rocky outermost crust.
The edges of the tectonic plates are marked by faults (or fractures). Most
earthquakes occur along the fault lines when the plates slide past each other or
collide against each other.
The shifting masses send out shock waves that may be powerful enough to
alter the surface of the Earth, thrusting up cliffs and opening great cracks
in the ground and
cause great damage ... collapse of buildings and other man-made structures,
broken power and gas lines (and the consequent fire), landslides, snow
avalanches, tsunamis (giant sea waves) and volcanic eruptions.

Fault or fault plane = the surface where when two blocks of the earth suddenly
slip past one another
Hypocenter = the location below the earths surface where the earthquake starts
Epicenter = the location on the surface of the earth directly above the
hypocenter

Computer is an electronic device that is designed to work with

Information. The term computer is derived from the Latin term
computare, this means to calculate or programmable machine. Computer
can not do anything without a Program. It represents the decimal numbers
through a string of binary digits. The Word 'Computer' usually refers to
the Center Processor Unit plus Internal memory.
Charles Babbage is called the "Grand Father" of the computer.
The First mechanical computer designed by Charles Babbage was called
Analytical Engine. It uses read-only memory in the form of punch cards.
Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as
input from the user and processes these data under the control of set of
instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and saves
output for the future use. It can process both numerical and nonnumerical (arithmetic and logical) calculations.
