Japanese name
–
Japanese names in modern times usually consist of a family name, followed by a given name. More than one name is not generally used. Japanese names are written in kanji, which are characters usually Chinese in origin. The kanji for a name may have a variety of possible Japanese pronunciations, Names written in hiragana or katakana are phonetic renderings, and so lack the visual meaning of names expressed in the logographic kanji. Japanese family names are extremely varied, according to estimates, there are over 100,000 different surnames in use today in Japan, the three most common family names in Japan are Satō, Suzuki, and Takahashi. Many Japanese family names derive from features of the landscape, for example, Ishikawa means stone river, Yamamoto means the base of the mountain. While family names follow relatively consistent rules, given names are more diverse in pronunciation. Unusual pronunciations have especially become common, with this trend having increased significantly since the 1990s, male names often end in -rō or -ta, or contain ichi, kazu, ji, or dai while female names often end in -ko or -mi. Other popular endings for female names include -ka and -na, the majority of Japanese people have one surname and one given name with no other names, except for the Japanese imperial family, whose members bear no surname. The family name – myōji, uji or sei – precedes the given name, the given name may be referred to as the lower name because, in vertically written Japanese, the given name appears under the family name. People with mixed Japanese and foreign parentage may have middle names, historically, myōji, uji and sei had different meanings. Sei was originally the patrilineal surname which is why up till now it has granted only by the emperor as a title of male rank. The lower form of the name sei being tei which is a name in Japanese men. Although there was an ancestor in ancient Japan from whom the name Sei originally came. There were relatively few sei, and most of the noble clans trace their lineage either directly to these sei or to the courtiers of these sei. Uji was another name used to designate patrilineal descent, but later merged with myōji around the same time, myōji was, simply, what a family chooses to call itself, as opposed to the sei granted by the emperor. While it was passed on patrilineally in male ancestors including in male ancestors called haku, multiple Japanese characters have the same pronunciations, so several Japanese names have multiple meanings. A particular kanji itself can have multiple meanings and pronunciations, in some names, Japanese characters phonetically spell a name and have no intended meaning behind them

Actor
–
An actor is a person who portrays a character in a performance. Simplistically speaking, the person denominated actor or actress is someone beautiful who plays important characters, the actor performs in the flesh in the traditional medium of the theatre, or in modern mediums such as film, radio, and television. The analogous Greek term is ὑποκριτής, literally one who answers, the actors interpretation of their role pertains to the role played, whether based on a real person or fictional character. Interpretation occurs even when the actor is playing themselves, as in forms of experimental performance art, or, more commonly, to act, is to create. Formerly, in societies, only men could become actors. When used for the stage, women played the roles of prepubescent boys. The etymology is a derivation from actor with ess added. However, when referring to more than one performer, of both sexes, actor is preferred as a term for male performers. Actor is also used before the name of a performer as a gender-specific term. Within the profession, the re-adoption of the term dates to the 1950–1960s. As Whoopi Goldberg put it in an interview with the paper, Im an actor – I can play anything. The U. K. performers union Equity has no policy on the use of actor or actress, an Equity spokesperson said that the union does not believe that there is a consensus on the matter and stated that the. subject divides the profession. In 2009, the Los Angeles Times stated that Actress remains the term used in major acting awards given to female recipients. However, player remains in use in the theatre, often incorporated into the name of a group or company, such as the American Players. Also, actors in improvisational theatre may be referred to as players, prior to Thespis act, Grecian stories were only expressed in song, dance, and in third person narrative. In honor of Thespis, actors are commonly called Thespians, the exclusively male actors in the theatre of ancient Greece performed in three types of drama, tragedy, comedy, and the satyr play. Western theatre developed and expanded considerably under the Romans, as the Western Roman Empire fell into decay through the 4th and 5th centuries, the seat of Roman power shifted to Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire. Records show that mime, pantomime, scenes or recitations from tragedies and comedies, dances, from the 5th century, Western Europe was plunged into a period of general disorder

Filipinos
–
Filipinos are the people who are identified with the country of the Philippines, either through descent or citizenship. Filipinos come from different ethnolinguistic nations, currently, there are more than 175 ethnolinguistic nations, each with its own language, identity, culture and history. The modern Filipino identity, with its Austronesian roots, was developed in conjunction with Spanish, Chinese, the Philippines was a Spanish colony for 333 years, setting a foundation for contemporary Filipino culture. Under Spanish rule, most of the Filipino populace embraced Roman Catholicism, almost all Filipinos adopted Spanish surnames from the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos published in 1849 by the Spanish colonial government. As neither past governments nor the modern Philippine Statistics Authority account for the background of an individual. The lack of the letter F in the pre-1987 Philippine alphabet, upon official adoption of the modern, 28-letter Filipino alphabet in 1987, the name Filipino was preferred over Pilipino. However the ABAKADA is only the Alphabet of the Tagalogs as other Ethnic Nations also have their own alphabet and/or writing script, use of the term Filipino in the Philippines started during the Spanish colonial period. The original meaning was a person of Spanish descent born in the Philippines and this original usage is now archaic and obsolete. Historian Ambeth Ocampo has suggested that the first documented use of the word to refer to Indios was the Spanish language poem A la juventud filipina, published in 1879 by José Rizal. A number of Filipinos refer to themselves colloquially as Pinoy, which is a word formed by taking the last four letters of Filipino. The term, although in popular usage, is considered by some Filipinos as a racial slur. Other collective endonyms for the Filipino people include, Patria Adorada as popularized by Jose Rizal through his poem Mi último adiós, in 2010, a metatarsal from Callao Man, discovered in 2007, was dated through uranium-series dating as being 67,000 years old. Prior to that, the earliest human remains found in the Philippines were thought to be the fragments of a skull and jawbone. Fox, an anthropologist from the National Museum, anthropologists who examined these remains agreed that they belonged to modern human beings. These include the Homo sapiens, as distinguished from the mid-Pleistocene Homo erectus species, the Tabon Man fossils are considered to have come from a third group of inhabitants, who worked the cave between 22,000 and 20,000 BCE. An earlier cave level lies so far below the level containing cooking fire assemblages that it must represent Upper Pleistocene dates like 45 or 50 thousand years ago, researchers say this indicates that the human remains were pre-Mongoloid, from about 40,000 years ago. Fluctuations in ancient shorelines between 150,000 BP and 17,000 BP connected the Malay Archipelago region with Maritime Southeast Asia and this may have enabled ancient migrations into the Philippines from Maritime Southeast Asia approximately 50,000 BP to 13,000 BP.

D and this was a two-pronged expansion, which moved north through the Philippines and into Taiwan, while a second expansion prong spread east along the New Guinea coast and into Oceania and Polynesia

Presently, its mission is to provide quality education that is equitably accessible to all and lay the foundation for lifelong learning. It has changed its statement, removing a phrase that some groups deem to be too secretarian for a government institution. During the early Spanish period, education in the Philippines was religion-oriented and was primarily for the elite, Primary instruction was secularized and free, and the teaching of Spanish was compulsory. It was also through this decree that the Superior Commission of Primary Instruction was established, the defeat of Spain by United States forces in 1898 paved the way for Aguinaldos Republic under a Revolutionary Government.

Pasig
–
The city is also the see of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pasig, making its cathedral a landmark built around the same time as the towns foundation in 1573. The citys name Pasig was believed to have come from the old Sanskrit word pasega, or sand and it was pronounced mapaksik by the Pre-Hispanic Chinese inhabitants of Binondo, Manila. Mapaksik later became Pah-sik, and was changed to what is now Pasig. It may have come from the Tagalog word dalampasigan, which means riverbank. Here lies a nearly-extinct creek that played an important role amidst the days of the Philippine Revolution, the creek was given the name Bitukang Manok, due to the serpentine shape of its waterway. Among its early dwellers were Ethnic Malays, the Chinese from Southern China, the Bitukang Manok was once a principal tributary of the Marikina River. The Spanish colonizers called the creek Rio de Pasig, however, the Bitukang Manok, also known as the Parian Creek, had once linked the Marikina River with the Antipolo River. Dela Paz, thus being the detached and long-abandoned Antipolo River, even the marian processions of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage passed this route back and forth eleven times. The Sepoys backstabbed their abusive British lieutenants and sided with the forces of the Spanish Conquistadors, local rice farmers, fisherfolk. After the British Invasion, the Sepoys remained and intermarried with Filipina women, in 1742, an Augustinian friar named Fray Domingo Diaz, together with a group of wealthy Mestizos de Sangley from Brgy. Sagad, ordered a construction of a marble, roof tile-covered bridge across the creek in the style of an oriental pagoda. It was named Puente del Pariancillo, and a few later, it changed to Puente de Fray Felix Trillo. Edmund Roberts visited Pasig in 1832, on the night of May 2,1896, more than 300 revolutionary Katipuneros, led by the Supremo Gat. Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto and Pio Valenzuela, secretly gained access in this very creek aboard a fleet of seventeen Bangkas to the old residence of a notable Valentin Cruz at Brgy, San Nicolas, and formed the Asamblea Magna. That was the first and victorious rebellion ever accomplished by the Katipunan, after World War II, the Bitukang Manok was slowly exposing its ecological downfall. It resulted in water due to rational ignorance. On June 11,1901, During the Philippine-American War, the province of Rizal was created through Act No.137 of Philippine Commission, Pasig was incorporated into the province of Rizal, and was designated as the capital of the new province.

Human resource management
–
Human resource management is the management of human resources. It is designed to maximize employee performance in service of an employers strategic objectives, HR is primarily concerned with the management of people within organizations, focusing on policies and on systems. HR departments are responsible for overseeing employee benefits design, employee recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, HR is a product of the human relations movement of the early 20th century, when researchers began documenting ways of creating business value through the strategic management of the workforce. Human Resources is a field focused on maximizing employee productivity. Human Resources professionals manage the capital of an organization and focus on implementing policies and processes. They can be specialists focusing in on recruiting, training, employee relations or benefits, Recruiting specialists are in charge of finding and hiring top talent. Training and development professionals ensure that employees are trained and have continuous development and this is done through training programs, performance evaluations and reward programs. Employee relations deals with concerns of employees when policies are broken, someone in benefits develops compensation structures, family leave programs, discounts and other benefits that employees can get. On the other side of the field are Human Resources Generalists or Business Partners and these human resources professionals could work in all areas or be labor relations representatives working with unionized employees. In startup companies, trained professionals may perform HR duties, academic and practitioner organizations may produce field-specific publications. Businesses are moving globally and forming more diverse teams and it is the role of human resources to make sure that these teams can function and people are able to communicate cross culturally and across borders. Due to changes in business, current topics in human resources are diversity, in the current global work environment, most companies focus on lowering employee turnover and on retaining the talent and knowledge held by their workforce. New hiring not only entails a high cost but also increases the risk of a newcomer not being able to replace the person who worked in a position before, HR departments strive to offer benefits that will appeal to workers, thus reducing the risk of losing corporate knowledge. The Human Resources field evolved first in 18th century Europe from an idea by Robert Owen. These men knew that people were crucial to the success of an organization and they expressed that the well being of employees led to perfect work. Without healthy workers, the organization would not survive, HR later emerged as a specific field in the early 20th century, influenced by Frederick Winslow Taylor. Taylor explored what he termed scientific management others later referred to Taylorism and he eventually keyed in on one of the principal inputs into the manufacturing process—labor—sparking inquiry into workforce productivity. Likewise in the United States, the worlds first institution of education dedicated to workplace studies — the School of Industrial

Malic acid
–
Malic acid is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H6O5. It is an acid that is made by all living organisms, contributes to the pleasantly sour taste of fruits. Malic acid has two forms, though only the L-isomer exists naturally. The salts and esters of malic acid are known as malates, the malate anion is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. L-Malic acid is the naturally occurring form, whereas a mixture of L-, malate plays an important role in biochemistry. In the C4 carbon fixation process, malate is a source of CO2 in the Calvin cycle, in the citric acid cycle, -malate is an intermediate, formed by the addition of an -OH group on the si face of fumarate. It can also be formed from pyruvate via anaplerotic reactions, malate is also synthesized by the carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate in the guard cells of plant leaves. Malate, as an anion, often accompanies potassium cations during the uptake of solutes into the guard cells in order to maintain electrical balance in the cell. The accumulation of these solutes within the cell decreases the solute potential, allowing water to enter the cell. Malic acid was first isolated from apple juice by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1785, antoine Lavoisier in 1787 proposed the name acide malique, which is derived from the Latin word for apple, mālum—as is its genus name Malus. In German it is named Äpfelsäure after plural or singular of the fruit apple, Malic acid contributes to the sourness of green apples. It is present in grapes and in most wines with concentrations sometimes as high as 5 g/l and it confers a tart taste to wine, although the amount decreases with increasing fruit ripeness. The taste of malic acid is very clear and pure in rhubarb and it is also a component of some artificial vinegar flavors, such as salt and vinegar flavored potato chips. The process of malolactic fermentation converts malic acid to much milder lactic acid, Malic acid occurs naturally in all fruits and many vegetables, and is generated in fruit metabolism. Malic acid, when added to products, is denoted by E number E296. Malic acid is the source of extreme tartness in United States-produced confectionery and it is also used with or in place of the less sour citric acid in sour sweets. These sweets are sometimes labeled with a warning stating that excessive consumption can cause irritation of the mouth and it is approved for use as a food additive in the EU, US and Australia and New Zealand. Malic acid provides 10 kJ of energy per gram during digestion, racemic malic acid is produced industrially by the double hydration of maleic anhydride

Digital cinematography
–
Digital cinematography is the process of capturing film using digital image sensors rather than through film stock. As digital technology has improved in recent years, this practice has become dominant, since the mid 2010s most of the movies across the world are captured as well as distributed digitally. Some filmmakers still prefer to use analogue picture formats to achieve the desired results, beginning in the late 1980s, Sony began marketing the concept of electronic cinematography, utilizing its analog Sony HDVS professional video cameras. The effort met with little success. However, this led to one of the earliest digitally shot feature movies, rainbow was the worlds first all digital film. The Digital High Definition image was transferred to 35mm negative via electron beam recorder for theatrical release, shot and released in 1998, The Last Broadcast is believed by some to be the first feature-length video shot and edited entirely on consumer-level digital equipment. The digital footage blended seamlessly with the shot on film. Also in 1999, digital projectors were installed in four theaters for the showing of The Phantom Menace, in June 2000, Star Wars, Episode II – Attack of the Clones began principal photography shot entirely using a Sony HDW-F900 camera as Lucas had previously stated. The film was released in May 2002, two lesser-known movies, Vidocq and Russian Ark, had also been shot with the same camera, the latter notably consisting of a single long take. Today, cameras from companies like Sony, Panasonic, JVC, at the high-end of the market, there has been an emergence of cameras aimed specifically at the digital cinema market. In late 2013, Paramount became the first major studio to distribute movies to theaters in digital format eliminating 35mm film entirely, anchorman 2 was the last Paramount production to include a 35mm film version, while The Wolf of Wall Street was the first major movie distributed entirely digitally. Digital cinematography captures motion pictures digitally in an analogous to digital photography. The term is applied when digital acquisition is substituted for video acquisition. Independent filmmakers have also pressed low-cost consumer and prosumer cameras into service for digital filmmaking, Digital cinematography cameras capture images using CMOS or CCD sensors, usually in one of two arrangements. Single chip cameras designed specifically for the digital cinematography market often use a single sensor and their large sensors also let these cameras achieve the same shallow depth of field as 35 or 65 mm motion picture film cameras, which many cinematographers consider an essential visual tool. Unlike other video formats, which are specified in terms of vertical resolution, here the K has a customary meaning corresponding to the binary prefix kibi. For instance, a 2K image is 2048 pixels wide, and this led to a plethora of motion-picture related video resolutions, which is quite confusing and often redundant with respect to nowadays few projection standards. All formats designed for digital cinematography are progressive scan, and capture usually occurs at the same 24 frame per second rate established as the standard for 35mm film

FAMAS
–
The FAMAS is a bullpup-styled assault rifle designed and manufactured in France by MAS located in Saint-Étienne, which is now a member of the French government-owned Nexter group. It is the rifle of the French military. The first French bullpup rifles were developed between 1946 and 1950 at the AME and MAS, testing such as.30 US Carbine,7. 92×33mm Kurz,7. 65×38mm. Nevertheless, approximately forty different 7. 62×51mm NATO caliber prototype rifles were developed between 1952 and 1962, most notably the FA-MAS Type 62. However, the United States adoption of the M16 rifle and 5. 56×45mm cartridge caused the French to rethink their approach, and consequently the Type 62 was not adopted. In the 1960s, MAS began to manufacture under license the Heckler & Koch G3 battle rifle, at the same time, the French embraced the idea of developing a new 5.56 mm automatic rifle. However, simply adopting the German-designed HK33 rifle was considered unsatisfactory for many members of the French high command. The FAMAS project began in 1967 under the direction of General Paul Tellié, in late 1978, the French military accepted the FAMAS as their standard-issue rifle. After adoption, the FAMAS F1 replaced both the aging MAS 49/56 rifle and MAT-49 submachine gun, approximately 400,000 FAMAS F1 assault rifles were produced by MAS. While a capable rifle, the F1 had numerous problems to overcome, for instance, many plastic pieces on the rifle easily broke, including critical parts like the cheek riser on the buttstock. The FAMAS was also susceptible to malfunction on occasion because of poorly-built magazines, MAS would eventually manufacture more durable magazines for the FAMAS that reduced malfunctions. The F1 was followed by the G1 version that included minor improvements, such as redesigned grips. However, the G1 remained conceptual and was never actually produced, the G2 also included several other upgrades taken from the G1 model, such as an enlarged trigger guard and improved hand guards made from reinforced fiberglass instead of plastic. The French Navy purchased the FAMAS G2 in 1995 and issued it to their Fusiliers Marins, however, the French army refused to purchase the G2, preferring to rely on the FAMAS F1 as their primary rifle. The FAMAS Infanterie is an improvement of the FAMAS F1, obtained by retrofiting an accessory rail onto the top of the handguard and this allows mounting combat optics, most notably reflex sights or the 4× magnification SCROME J4 scope. During the late 1980s, Century Arms imported a small number of semi-automatic FAMAS rifles into the United States. However, due to sales, production and importation ceased. The FAMAS assault rifle is a configuration, with the ammunition feed behind the trigger

Besides Cointreau, other orange-flavored liqueurs that might be used include Grand Marnier, Gran Gala, other brands of triple sec, when sweeter fruit juices or freshly puréed fruits are added to the margarita, the orange-flavored liqueur is often reduced or eliminated entirely. In addition to orange-flavored liqueurs, secondary liqueurs may occasionally be added to a cocktail, other flavors include pineapple and watermelon. Freshly squeezed lime juice is the key ingredient, the most common lime in the United States is the thick-skinned Persian lime. However, margaritas in Mexico are generally made with Mexican limes and these are small, thin-skinned limes and have more tart and an often bitter flavor compared to Persian limes. In addition to being shaken and served up like other cocktails and this variant is known as a frozen margarita. The first frozen margarita machine was invented on May 11,1971 by Dallas restaurateur Mariano Martinez, the machine was originally a soft-serve ice cream machine and now sits in the Smithsonian National Museum of History. Alternate fruits and juice mixtures can also be used in a margarita, fruits like mango, peach, strawberry, banana, melon, or raspberry are suitable for creating this drink.

Other varieties of margarita include fruit margarita, top-shelf margarita and virgin margarita, some bars and restaurants serve a Coronarita, beer cocktail that consists of a bottle of Corona upturned to drain into a margarita. The 1937 Cafe Royal Cocktail Book contains a recipe for a Picador using the same concentrations of tequila, triple sec and lime juice as a Margarita. This story was related by Herrera and also by bartender Albert Hernandez, acknowledged for popularizing a Margarita in San Diego after 1947, Hernandez claimed the owner of La Plaza, Morris Locke, knew Herrera and visited Mexico often. A commonly accepted story of the Margarita is that it was invented in October 1941, at Hussongs Cantina in Ensenada, Mexico. One afternoon, Margarita Henkel, the daughter of the then German ambassador visited the cantina, the cocktail consisted of equal parts of tequila, Mexican orange liqueur called Controy, and lime, shaken and served over ice in a salt-rimmed glass. As she was the first to try the drink, Don Carlos decided to name it after her, there are also claims that the margarita was first mixed in Juárez, Mexico at Tommys Place Bar on July 4,1942 by Francisco Pancho Morales.

Spirit
–
The English word spirit, from Latin spiritus breath, has many different meanings and connotations, most of them relating to a non-corporeal substance contrasted with the material body. It can also refer to a subtle as opposed to gross material substance, the word spirit is often used metaphysically to refer to the consciousness or personality. e. A manifestation of the spirit of a deceased person, the term may also refer to any incorporeal or immaterial being, such as demons or deities. In the Bible, the Spirit, specifically denotes the Holy Spirit, the English word spirit comes from the Latin spiritus, meaning breath, but also spirit, soul, courage, vigor, ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European *peis. It is distinguished from Latin anima, soul, in Greek, this distinction exists between pneuma, breath, motile air, spirit, and psykhē, soul. The word spirit came into Middle English via Old French, the distinction between soul and spirit also developed in the Abrahamic religions, Arabic nafs opposite rūħ, Hebrew neshama or nephesh נֶ֫פֶשׁ nép̄eš opposite ruach. In a lecture delivered to the literary Society of Augsburg, October 20,1926, on the theme of “Nature and Spirit, the mistrust of verbal concepts, inconvenient as it is, nevertheless seems to me to be very much in place in speaking of fundamentals. Spirit and Life are familiar enough words to us, very old acquaintances in fact, pawns that for thousands of years have pushed back. It can scarcely be an accident onomatopoeic words like ruach, ruch, roho mean ‘spirit’ no less clearly than the Greek πνεύμα and the Latin spiritus”. In spiritual and metaphysical terms, spirit has acquired a number of meanings, An incorporeal but ubiquitous, unlike the concept of souls a spirit develops and grows as an integral aspect of a living being. This concept of the individual spirit occurs commonly in animism, note the distinction between this concept of spirit and that of the pre-existing or eternal soul, belief in souls occurs specifically and far less commonly, particularly in traditional societies. One might more properly term this type/aspect of spirit life or aether rather than spirit, people usually conceive of a ghost as a wandering spirit from a being no longer living, having survived the death of the body yet maintaining at least vestiges of mind and consciousness. In religion and spirituality, the respiration of a human has for obvious reasons become seen as linked with the very occurrence of life. A similar significance has become attached to human blood, Spirit, in this sense, means the thing that separates a living body from a corpse—and usually implies intelligence, consciousness, and sentience. Latter-day Saint prophet Joseph Smith Jr. taught that the concept of spirit as incorporeal or without substance was incorrect, all spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes. In some Native American spiritual traditions the Great Spirit or Wakan Tanka is a term for the Supreme Being, individual spirits envisaged as interconnected with all other spirits and with The Spirit. This concept relates to theories of a unified spirituality, to universal consciousness, the experience of such a connection can become a primary basis for spiritual belief.
