Mastermind is a principle that trains a
disadvantage individual to use the potential of others to compensate for his or
her weakness in a system of a perfect spirit of harmony with person(s) whose
corporation is needed for the attainment of a definite major purpose.
The mastermind
session is tailored to offer you practical truth that will enable you to tap
into the strength of others and intelligently maximize it for your success. No
one is an island of knowledge; you need the knowledge of others to excel where
you are deficient in such knowledge. If you attempt to succeed with what you
know, you may be limited in life where your experience and education cannot
give you the success you so desire.
Certainly, with
the application of the mastermind principle, you will
receive the full benefits of education, experience and technical skills of
those whose cooperation is fundamentally needed for the attainment of your
major purpose in life. By using the strength of others to compensate for your
weakness, you gain the benefits of their education, experience and beliefs to
aid you in the attainment of success and true satisfaction as those who are
blessed with such strength.
The world in the
past and present perspective is populated with great achievers, and all of them
have come to enviable position by employing the principle of mastermind.
Take to heart every teaching in the mastermind session and your struggle
for excellence will receive intelligent speed for accomplishment.

…Seeing
the world around you in a completely new light!
Geology
is the
study of the Earth, its processes, its materials, its history, and the effect
it has on humans and life in general. In this broad study of geology,
we shall study in in-depth: Rocks, crystals, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes,
rivers, glaciers, landslides, floods, and many other subjects. It is a science
that is still young enough to have exciting, unanswered questions, but mature
enough to make use of all the sophistication and rigor that one can bring to
bear!
Geology
is unique because it is a highly field-oriented science. Geologists
perform a wide range of significant services for our civilization:
·They search for valuable deposits of
natural resources such as iron, coal, and oil.
·They determine the stability of building
sites.
·They find abundant supplies of clean
water.
·They also try to minimize the threat to
communities at risk from geologic hazards.
The work of a geologist
is usually outdoors, sometimes in deserts or sparsely populated mountain
ranges. It is imperative to note that some of the most geologically
interesting places in the world are also the most scenic. Students of
geology can expect to find themselves working in locations that they have often
wanted to travel to, as well as many that they had not known of but were
grateful to have visited still.
Geology is a fundamental
visual science. Many geological problems are much like
solving a puzzle. Therefore, you will be required to present a possible
explanation of the events that occurred to produce the scenery surrounding
them. If you have ever wondered how a certain hill came into existence in
a certain place, or why a cliff or canyon should have such a vivid display of
color to it, or why a large outcrop of rock is exposed in a particular fashion,
a background in geology can help you to return to those features and figure out
the answers. Once you have had an introduction to geology, you will
see the world around you in a completely new light.
Geologic phenomena
affect our daily lives as well as the future of our planet. Fundamental
knowledge in the Earth and planetary sciences has direct bearing on matters of
urgent interest to the public, to policy makers, and to other scientists. The
threats of a major earthquake in California, a volcanic eruption in the
northwestern U.S., or an asteroid impact are ever present. The sudden reality
of global warming is global fundamental issue that can be properly attended to
with geological
knowledge. A naturally fluctuating climate is being modified by human
activities in ways that we do not understand with consequences that we cannot envisage.
The geology

of geology, and also all who are interested in the study of geology.

Biology is
a natural science that is concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their
structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. The
term biologyis derived from the Greek word βίος, and the suffix –λογία. Bios
means “life” and the suffix, logia means “the study of” according to historical
documentation it appears in German (as biologie) as early as 1791, and
may be a back-formation from the older word amphibiology (meaning the study
of amphibians) by deletion of the initial amphi.
It is a common
belief that many of the earliest records of biology come from the
bas-reliefs left behind by the Assyrians and Babylonians. For example, Papyrus
and artifacts found in tombs and pyramids indicate that the Egyptians possessed
considerable, albeit archaic by today's standards, medical knowledge. There is also
growing evidence from China and India as early as 2500 BC that there were
general practices of therapeutic healing, silkworm use to produce silk,
biological control of crops, and agricultural cultivation.
The study
of biology shifted dramatically to a belief that every event has a
cause and that a particular cause produces a particular effect. This came with
the arrival of Greek civilization. These philosophers of science believed that
there is the existence of a natural law governing the universe; a law that can
be comprehended by man through his use of observation and deduction. Although
they established the science of biology, their greatest contribution to science
was the idea of rational thought.
Going through the
rapid evolution of biological advancements, recent discoveries
concerning hereditary mechanisms and genetic engineering have raised
ethical issues beyond our previous imagination, and have potential implications
that could affect the very existence of life itself. With over 7 billion humans
on Earth today, and growing explosively, we are rapidly stretching the limits
of our planet to sustain life as we know it. Global warming, depleted food
sources, desertification, weather pattern changes, shrinking ozone layers, and
rising ocean levels are warning signs of these stresses.
Do we sit down,
fold our hands and do nothing to ensure our safety and survival? Of course not!
This is where we all have the responsibilities of getting involved. Whether you
enter the doors of biological science or sit on the outside, it is imperative that
you become informed of the advancements in biology. This
will enable you to make intelligent decision at the appropriate time and place.
CAREERS IN BIOLOGY
Over
the years biologists have engaged themselves fundamental biological research,
and much of the basic biological research done in recent years has dovetailed
in new knowledge, including the isolation and identification of genes. In view
of the above, biological scientists will be needed to effectively disseminate this
knowledge to the larger society, and also to take this knowledge to the next
level, which is the understanding of how certain genes function within an
entire organism, so that medical treatments can be developed to treat various
diseases.
Even
pharmaceutical and other firms that are not solely engaged in biotechnology do use
biotechnology techniques extensively, spurring increase in employment for biological
scientists. Biological scientists are using their knowledge to help farmers
increase crop yields by pinpointing genes that can help crops such as wheat
grow worldwide in areas that currently are hostile to the crop.
Continued
work on chronic diseases should also lead to growing demand for biological scientists.
In addition, efforts to discover new and improved ways to clean up and preserve
the environment will continue to add to job growth. More biological scientists
will be needed to determine the environmental impact of industry and government
actions and to prevent or correct environmental problems such as the negative
effects of pesticide use. Some biological scientists will find opportunities in
environmental regulatory agencies, while others will use their expertise to
advise lawmakers on legislation to save environmentally sensitive areas.
New industrial
applications of biotechnology, such as new methods for making ethanol for transportation
fuel, also will spur demand for biological scientists. There will be a
high demand for biological scientists specializing in botany, zoology, and
marine biology, but opportunities will be limited because of the small size of
these fields. Marine biology, despite its attractiveness as a career, is a very
small specialty within biological science.
Today
is an exciting time to pursue a career in biology. Scientists are
better equipped today than ever before to solve biological questions that
were once thought unsolvable. Biology is quest- an ever evolving
science; once one question is answered, it leads to another.
Here
is a list of careers for which a biology background is required or at least
very useful:
Biotechnology
Forensic Science
Physiotherapy
Pharmacy
Optometry
Forestry
Agricultural science
Environmental Consulting
Medicine
Dentistry
Chiropractic Medicine

This
section will provide an in-depth tutelage on some
of the important topics covered in general and advance biology course. Biology
can be a difficult course, simply because a lot of material is covered in the
course. It is important to note that the degree of difficulty between college
biology and high school biology will differ based on the emphasis of detail.
In
order to do well, students are required to understand the concepts and to
memorize important details. The best way to accomplish this is to review on a
daily basis the knowledge of biology gained in the biology section of this
site, and also your school biology note for at least 30. Also, try to answer biology
problems. Often times, practice problems are very similar to the
questions on the exam.
Biology is a fascinating subject. Learning about life on Earth is fun. Biology
is the study of life, what life needs to survive, what makes life possible, how
life evolves and changes, and how life forms interact with one another.

often overlaps with other sciences; biochemistry and toxicology
with biology, chemistry, and medicine; biophysics with biology and physics;
stratigraphy with biology and geography; astrobiology with biology and
astronomy. Social sciences such as geography, philosophy, psychology
and sociology
can also interact with biology, for instance, in administration of biological
resources, developmental biology,
biogeography, evolutionary psychology and ethics.
