Indian dance has a very rich tradition. The tradition of Indian classical and folk dance has been thoroughly discussed in Natya Shastra, the oldest surviving text of the world on stagecraft. In the earlier days of the theatre, dancers mimed the story and the singers sang the dialogue with the instrumentalists accompanying them. Though the singers and the instrumentalists played significant roles, it was the dancers who occupied a central position. Traditionally, most of these dancers were attached to the Indian temples. Even today, a number of the themes of Indian classical dance are mythological in nature.
Being a vast country, the different areas of India have given their own color to this ancient classical tradition. Some of the acknowledged classical styles include Kuchipudi of Andhra Pradesh, Bharatnatyam of Tamil Nadu, Odissi from Orissa, Kathakali of Kerala, Kathak from Pakistan and north India, and Manipuri of Northeast India. There are some other styles like Mohiniaattam from Kerala and Sattriya from Assam. All these classical dancing styles have a strong regional connection. However, none of them can be called the representative of the entire subcontinent.
Kuchipudi: This Indian dance form is from the state of Andhra Pradesh. It has derived its name from a small village of Krishna district, where the resident Brahmins practice this traditional dance form. The movements of this form are rounded, scintillating and quicksilver, and fleet-footed. It is performed with classical Carnatic music. The specialty of Kuchipudi is Tarangam, where the dancers perform upon a brass plate, placing their feet upon its raised edges.
Bharatnatyam: This dance form is accompanied by classical Tamil music and is inspired by the ancient sculptures of the temple of Chidambaram. The techniques of this Indian dance include abhinaya or natya, which is the dramatic art of story-telling; nritta, the pure dance movements; and nritya, which is a combination of nritta and abhinaya.
Odissi: This classical dance form existed from the traditions of Nartaki, a dance that took place in royal courts; Mahari, who were Orissan devadasis at the temple of Jagganath, Puri; and Gotipua, where young boys were dressed as girls. This dance consists of Mangalacharan, Battu Nrutya, Moksha, Pallavi, Abhinaya, and Dashavataar.
Kathakali: It originated from a style of dance-drama called Ramanattam. This dance also follows some of the techniques of Krishnanattam. Kathakali derived its name from two Malayalam words meaning story and performance.
Kathak: This dance form originated from northern India and traces its history to the nomadic bards called kathakas. It has derived its name from the Sanskrit word katha that means "story". The styles and techniques of this dance vary depending upon the major gharanas or schools.

Resource-based learning has emerged as a response to the changing expectations of students. This text provides strategies for its implementation, development evaluation and discusses the implications for resource centres.
This text looks at the problems of teaching HE students whose main interest and discipline lies elsewhere. Contributors describe strategies they have developed to inspire students and case studies are used to transfer key ideas to other teachers.
Sometime in the 1980s, I read a book written by Manfred Kets de Vries who claimed to have found six types of corporate cultures. The most intriguing thesis of the book was that actually most organizations are not sick, but not entirely healthy: the so-called lingering organizations. The other five types of organizations are: the dramatic organization, the depressive organization, the paranoid organization, the coercive organization, and the schizophrenic organization.
The dramatic organization is hyperactive, impulsive, very adventurous and dangerously unrestrained. The decision-makers base their ideas on intuition and impressions instead of facts. The leaders use their charisma to concentrate all the power in the top. They can therefore undertake very risky operations. They do these things to create a completely different environment without really considering the existing business environment. Their goal is unlimited growth. The man in the top wants to be the center of everything. He wants to show what a good leader he is. Without really considering the reality, this kind of behavior can easily result in great disasters.
The depressive organization is characterized by apathy, lack of self-confidence and conservatism. The communication climate is passive and aimless. The activities are implemented according to predetermined programs and routines. The employees are never asked to show initiative. In stable markets, long established companies can withstand many crises despite their depressive state. They can survive as long as the technology and the competitive pattern remain the same. The environment of these organizations is usually protected with trade agreements and fixed tariffs.
The paranoid organization is characterized by extreme suspicion at the top. This is mirrored by the extreme emphasis on procedures which are aimed to collect information and exert control. A complex information system is created to analyze all the dangers of the outside world. Procedures are written down in detailed manner and everybody is obliged to continuously write reports. This need to regulate everything and be alert all the time results in 'the institutionalization of suspicion'. There are a lot of meetings to collect the same information from different people. The advantage is that the leaders will get the right information, but the side effect is that mutual trust is diminishing. A lot of precious time and energy is lost while the morale is decreasing all the time.
The coercive organization is addicted to rituals. Every move is literally planned. The implementation of the plans is carefully monitored; all activities are usually routine activities. The emphasis is laid on correctness and completeness when the predetermined methods are used. Rituals have become norms. Just like in the paranoid organization, the coercive organization depends on formal control and information systems. There is, however, one important difference; coercive organizations are really meant for monitoring budgets and productivity. The paranoid organization on the other hand, is mainly interested in things which lie outside its span of control.
Like the depressed organization, the schizophrenic organization is suffering from lack of effective leadership. The leaders of a schizophrenic organization are not doing a good job. They are afraid to establish new contacts because they had bad experiences in the past. These leaders have reached a stage in their career in which they are not interested in leading anymore. If they are lucky, this problem is solved by the middle managers, but these middle managers are usually only interested in their own interests. The average middle manager will usually become servants who just want to win the favors of their directors. The directors are constantly in doubt, because they don't know which proposals to accept from their subordinates. A consequence is that plans are implemented half-heartedly and actions depend on the mood of the day. Lack of consistent and consequent leadership is the most important characteristic of the schizophrenic organization.
The lingering organizations, finally, usually have problems with the central values, norms, and beliefs. If the leaders are not trying to disseminate these aspects or are even against it, subcultures will be created which are not independent. Other characteristics of lingering organizations are: internal company politics is more important than efficiency, promises and deals are oftentimes neglected and the leaders are not really interested of their employees.
So, what are then the characteristics of truly healthy organizations? Here are ten parameters of good corporate culture:
1. Pride of the organization:
Employees defend their company against unjustified critique and they say that they like working for their company;
2. Orientation towards (top) achievements:
'In our company, everybody tries to do a better job' and 'our company is number one and that should stay so';
3. Teamwork and communication:
Employees listen well and try to understand the ideas/opinions of others and employees and managers really try to help each other;
4. Supervision and leadership:
Managers are really interested in the problems of others and it is customary to ask help when needed;
5. Profit orientation and cost awareness:
All expenditures are evaluated if they are effective or not and all members are strongly thinking about profit;
6. Employee relationships:
Employees are not trying to better themselves from the mistakes of other employees and new employees are accepted quickly;
7. Client and consumer relations:
Everything is oriented towards a better service for the customer;
8. Honesty and safety:
Safety rules are strictly implemented and everybody sees company properties as being sacred;
9. Education and development:
Everybody supports education and training programs and the company really tries to develop its employees
10. Innovation:
Systems and procedures are constantly being pursued and new ideas are always welcome.

What are the aims of the religious organization Hezbollah?
Hezbollah is an Islamist religious organization founded in 1985 and based in Lebanon. It follows Shi'Islam (also called Shi'ite Islam), the second largest denomination of Islam. Shi'a Muslims follow the teachings of the prophet Muhammad, a direct descendant of Isma'il (the first son of Ibrahim/Abraham). Also part of Lebanon's political history, the civilian wing of Hezbollah occupies 14 of the 128 seats in Lebanon's Parliament. Hezbollah's social development initiatives cover the costs of managing Lebanon hospitals, educational institutions and news services.
Hezbollah acts on two goals:
1. Aiding the people.
2. Providing armed resistance against Israel.

Before committing to a GED program, most students and adult learners want to know what to expect on the GED test, and whether the test is harder than the tests and exams they took in high school.
There's no question about it -- the GED test is hard. But according to graduates of the PassGED program, the test isn't as hard as high school exams since classes focus on essential skills and relevant information. The emphasis of the GED tests is not on memorization, but on thinking skills and the application of practical knowledge.
So what's the difference? Just consider how standard high school classes and courses work. Over weeks and months, a student covers lots of information and in most cases, must commit most of that information to memory. While quizzes and tests create a grade, and indicate how well a student is progressing through the material, the real test -- or most important grade -- results from mid-term and final exams. Students who have a tough time with memorization may not test or score well, especially if several weeks or months have passed since the information was covered.
And many students find it hard -- or even tedious -- to learn and remember information that doesn't seem important or practical to their lives. For example, a history or social studies test may require that the student remember the date the Declaration of Independence was signed. The correct answer may not seem very relevant to everyday life, but could make the difference between a passing and failing grade.
The General Education Development test measures knowledge differently, and focuses on application skills. Like high school, it requires knowledge of social studies, science, basic algebra and geometry, reading and writing. But it's not memory of knowledge that the test measures. It's the use and application of it.
For some people - especially those who have relied on memorization skills in their education, GED testing can seem more difficult than high school. Generally, it's easier to just memorize information than to know how to use it. For people who haven't had much experience in making inferences, analyzing data, and making judgments, the GED test can seem difficult. But these skills are skills used everyday -- balancing a checkbook, following a recipe ... perhaps developing or following a new way of doing things at work. The thinking skills used for these everyday life events are the same ones required to earn the GED credential.
While most people already have these skills and use them daily, it's important to sharpen them for the test. And some skills may need to be learned, or relearned. By following these four easy steps, a GED candidate can easily gain skills, reduce test difficulty and increase test scores.
1. Understand the Test: Get acquainted with the GED test structure; become more familiar with how test passages and questions are presented and the best way to find the right answer among five multiple-choice options. You'll also want to review the essay section of the writing test, since your original essay is a major portion of the Language Arts - Writing Test score.
2. Practice First: Take some GED practice tests to gain knowledge of the test and to determine skill weaknesses and strengths. Pre-tests or practice tests can also help you plan a study guide and determine how much time and effort you'll need to prepare for the GED.
3. Prepare: Enroll in a GED class, a GED study program, basic skills or GED test prep program. Most communities offer free or low-cost programs and classes through local community colleges, universities or high schools. Or you may opt for an online GED program, especially if your schedule, job or family obligations, or even finances make classes difficult. If you're looking for an online GED program, you'll want to shop, compare and read the fine print -- lots of online companies offer fake diplomas or promise results that they can't deliver.
4. Get Support: Find a community-based or workplace support group or study group that shares your goals, or an online learning community of GED students and instructors. You'll get test advice, test-taking tips and learn about resources you'll likely need. But most importantly, a support group or learning community will offer encouragement from people who want you to achieve your educational and career goals.
Here are some free GED resources for students, adult learners and instructors:
The American Council on Education, the US administrative agency for the GED, provides online information about testing, official test sites, GED scores, example test questions and GED transcripts. The website address for the ACE GED info is http://www.acenet.edu/AM/Template.cfm?Section=GEDTS/

What is renaissance art? How do you draw art with renaissance? I need to draw a picture and define what it is for school. Please help me. And please don't just write:
The Renaissance (French for "rebirth"; Italian: Rinascimento, from ri- "again" and nascere "be born")[1] was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Florence in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. The term is also used more loosely to refer to the historic era, but since the changes of the Renaissance were not uniform across Europe, this is a general use of the term. As a cultural movement, it encompassed a resurgence of learning based on classical sources, the development of linear perspective in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform.
Give me an actual definition. And one with no big words!! ANd please do not for get to tell me how to use it and stuff making art!!!!!
The Renaissance painters wanted art that showed joy in human beauty and life’s pleasures. Renaissance art is more lifelike than in the art of the Middle Ages. Renaissance artists studied perspective, or the differences in the way things look when they are close to something or far away. The artists painted in a way that showed these differences. As a result, their paintings seem to have depth. this is ur defination =)
Renaissance painting bridges the period of European art history between the art of the Middle Ages and Baroque art. Painting of this era is connected to the "rebirth" (renaissance in French) of classical antiquity, the impact of humanism on artists and their patrons, new artistic sensibilities and techniques, and, in general, the transition from the Medieval period to the Early modern age.
In the visual arts, significant achievements occur around 1400 in both Italy and north of the Alps. Masaccio's art and the writings of Leon Battista Alberti helped establish linear perspective and the idealization of the human body as primary ideas of Italian Renaissance painting in the early 15th century. Likewise, Early Netherlandish artists such as Jan van Eyck were innovators in oil painting and intuitive spatial compositions. The brief High Renaissance (c. 1500–1520) centred around Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael in Florence and Rome, was a culmination of the Italian achievements, while artists like Albrecht Dürer brought a similar level of intellectual and artistic innovation to northern Europe. Late Renaissance painting, from about 1520 until the end of the 16th century, is marked by various Mannerist tendencies that spread from Italy through the rest of France.
