Science (from the Latin scientia, 'knowledge'), in a historical sense, refers to any systematic knowledge or practice.[1] The modern use of the term refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method, as well as to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research;[2][3] the more general meaning continues to be common in European usage, however.[4]
Fields of science are commonly classified along two major lines:
Natural sciences, which study natural phenomena (including biological life), and
Social sciences, which study human behavior and societies.
These groupings are empirical sciences, which means the knowledge must be based on observable phenomena and capable of being experimented for its validity by other researchers working under the same conditions.[5]
Mathematics, which is sometimes classified within a third group of science called formal science, has both similarities and differences with the natural and social sciences.[3] It is similar to empirical sciences in that it involves an objective, careful and systematic study of an area of knowledge; it is different because of its method of verifying its knowledge, using a priori rather than empirical methods.[6] Formal science, which also includes statistics and logic, is vital to the empirical sciences. Major advances in formal science have often led to major advances in the physical and biological sciences. The formal sciences are essential in the formation of hypotheses, theories, and laws,[7] both in discovering and describing how things work (natural sciences) and how people think and act (social sciences).
The history of science is marked by a chain of advances in technology and knowledge that have always complemented each other. Technological innovations bring about new discoveries and are bred by other discoveries which inspire new possibilities and approaches to longstanding science issues. Investing in science and technology is critical to ensuring prosperity and a high quality of life. Scientists are at the forefront of the development of scientific and technological innovations. The primary objectives of these professionals are to create and develop novel research that can be used to solve problems for both the states' populations, as well as individual entities like companies.
Science as discussed in this article is sometimes termed experimental science to differentiate it from applied science, which is the application of scientific research to specific human needs, though the two are often interconnected.

The "F" word-Friends
True,trust and tolerance plays the most important part in friendships. Friendship is like a violin; the music may stop now and then, but the strings will last forever.Friends never make assumptions about you. They never expect a reason to go out with you. In fact friends only expect you to be you!
If we have tolerance and no trust,our friendship won't be peaceful because there'll be definately a lot of misunderstanding and that will cause friendships to break.The same goes if we only have trust and no tolerance.
We have to somehow treasure friendships because that is something we cannot buy !!

What is your most indispensable possession and why?
Hello friends,
What is my most indispensable possession and why?I don't have the slightest idea of any indispensable possession but my Man Utd's collection of posters and wallpapers are certainly irriplacable.Why?I collected them from all around the world.From Portuguese to Spain to Japan and England.My uncle travels around the world for business purposes and he will always get some posters or wallpapers for me.
Not just my collection of posters and wallpapers are indispensable,my collection of books are also indispensable.I got them directly from the writers and they produced their autographs on my books.I got 6 whole shelves filled with books and my mum planned to throw them away but I packed them in boxes instead.So,do you have any indespensable possessions ?
Yours,
Forza

What is the meaning of " He laughs best who laughs last?"
Hello friends,
What is the meaning of "He laughs best who laughs last?".It basically means "what goes around comes around".
My favorite quote!
Meaning no.1 : What people do to others in their lives will eventually be done to them, one way or another. Another similar expression is: "the chickens will come home to roost".
Meaning no.2:
The decisions you make & the way you treat people will someday come back to stare you in the face. If you are good & kind to people they will treat you kind. If you are cruel to people & make bad decisions then life will not be so kind to you. However you act in your life, expect the same to come back to you.It may not happen right away but at some point in your life you will face the consequences or rewards.
Meaning no.3:What "goes around" meaning what you give off, "comes around" meaning you get back. A different cultural way of describing how karma works, What you give out comes back to you
Meaning no.4:You do something bad or mean it will eventually come back to you by someone else doing the same or worse to you. It could take days or years but it comes back. The same can be said about doing good things also. It always comes back.
Meaning no.5:About the same as "You'll reap what you sow."
Eventually,you will notice that all the 5 meanings contain the same expression.Let me give you an example.
Let's say,one day,you punched someone.After a year,a tougher guy came to you and punched you for no reason at all.You would soon realize your mistake and regretted over punching that "someone"(On the first sentence) because you know "He laughs best who laughs last".

An idea of a very dull evening
An idea of a very dull evening
So, friends! What shall I tell you today!Should I talk of roses, or flowers that are grey?No no no no no.These things are not for me.I shall talk about sports.Sports that are fun or rather interesting,I should say.Now,you know what I meant.Soccer ! What else can I talk about besides soccer.The most lovable sport for me,Forza7Sza,the one and only.
Well,to me,everyday is dumb and dull but I'll tell you what's and idea of a very interesting evening.My idea of a "pretty decent weekend" is one spent in the green field with twenty two men with a ball and not at home doing homeworks,studying,reading and do stuffs that a girl shouldn't do.
Watching the ESPN or Starsports channel is also an interesting stuff to do.Watching live match
and Nokia Football Crazy.What do you get from doing all those kinds of things?I can't answer that question because there really is nothing you cam get from doing all those thing !! You only gain experience in accuracy,concentration and fun.
