STOLEN!
from tengjie's blog.
heh, :D
Why Numbers Cannot Be Divided By 0?
Division by 0 is an operation for which you cannot find an answer so it is disallowed.
You can understand why if you think about how division and multiplication are related.
12/6=2
because
6x2=1212/0=€
would mean
ox€=12.
But , no value will work for € because multiplication of 0 by any number is 0.
So division by 0 doesn't work.
yay, thnks tengjie!

National Anthems:
National anthems are played during important events and occasions. They could be at the start or the end of a school day. They could also be played before a stage play, a film or a concert.
At major sporting events such as the Olympics and Asian games, national anthems are used to celebrate the success of the athletes from different countries.
Many national aanthems have characteristics of the European style of music. Some national anthems are written in the style of a march or a hymn. Latin American anthems tend to be more operatic, while others use fanfares. Only some countries like Israel and Japan have national antems which reflect their traditional music. The national anthems of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain, and San Marino are unique in that they do not have lyrics.

Malay Weddings:
A Malay wedding involves the nikah, or the soleminisation ceremony, performed by thekadi, a religious official of the Muslim Registry of Marriage. Another feature of a Malay wedding would be the bersanding ceremony, a ceremonial seating on a fully decorated stage or dais, in the groom's or bride's home. The ceremony has a festive and informal air, with many colourful costumes worn by guests.

The ceremony has a festive and informal air, with many colourful costumes worn by guests.
The groom's arrival for the bersanding ceremony is signalled by the beating of thekompang or hadrah and the singing of Quranic verses and good wishes. Nowadays, a western-style band or a deejay may be engaged to entertain the guests. There is no restriction on the type of music played, although the wedding songs are prefered.
Chinese Weddings:
Chinese Weddings:
A Chinese wedding in Singapore usually begins early in the morning with the fetching of the bride in the bridal car. In the past, a sedan-chair was used to bring the bride to the groom's house. The bride would be accompanied by a procession that played traditional Chinese music on intruments such as the suona, cymbals and the drums. Nowadays, the groom and the groomsmen will simply drive over to the bride's house.
In contrast to elaborate the wedding preparations, the actual ceremony is a simple one. The bride and groom are led to the family altar where they pay their respects to their ancestors. This is followed by the tea ceremony, where tea is offere to the parents.
A Chinese music group or band may be engaged to entertain the guests at the wedding banquet held in the evening.
Indian Weddings:
Music plays a significant role in the Indian weddings. Every wedding ceremony is accompanied by some strains of music. Some communities favour music played on thenadaswaram, a classical South Indian intrument, and the tavil, a barrel-shaped percussion instrument, while others prefer the shehnai, a North Indian wind instrument.
The ceremonies at a Hindu wedding are often elaborate. They are normally held in a temple or a cammunity hall. After the couple have walked round the sacred fire, the groom will tie a thali, a wedding chain, round the bride's neck. The three knots on the thali represent the union of the couple and their families and the acceptance of the Hindu faith. It is also at this point that the priests will recite mantras or verses from the holy book, and music will be played.
European and American Weddings:
For the last 400 years, a traditional wedding ceremony in Euraope, North America, and throughout the western world, inolved the bride walking slowly into a church to the sound of a piece of music called a processional.
The most popular processional pieve for the century has been the Bridal Chorus from theopera Lohengrin. It was compossed in 1850 by the German Richard Wagner (1813 - 1883)
- this piece is popularly known as here comes the bride, well known from countless wedding scenes in films and on television.
- over the last century, this music is almost always used in weddings at the beginning of the ceremony, and played on a church organ or other instruments.
- in the original opera however, the chorus is sung by the women of the wedding party after the ceremony, as they accompany the heroine, elsa, to the bridal chamber.
At the end of the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom leave, accompanied by a recessional.
For over a century, the most popular piece of music for the recessional has been theWedding March, by the German cmposer Felix Mandelssohn (1809 - 1847)
- mendelssohn wrote it in 1842 as part of the incidental music for a performance of shakespeare's play, a midsummer night's dream.
- you will notice that the wedding march begins with a fanfare.
Usually the music for the entrance of the bride is grand and stately, while the music at the end of the ceremony is celebratory.
Other commonly performed pieces for the processional are Johann Pachelbel's Canon in Dand Jeremiah Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary. A common recessional piece is the Toccata from the 5th Symphony by Charles-Marie Widor.

Field Music:
Field music, such as the march, is most frequently performed by military bands. It is a piece of music with a regular rhythm and tempo. This type of music has strong rhythms. The instruments used include bugles, bagpipes, fifes and drums. In the past, such field music was used to control and unite troops on the battle field. Today, military bands perform mainly musical duties with ceremonial and marching music.
Haka:
Haka is a Maori word which simply means 'dance'. It is an important part of traditional Maori culture. The Maori people use their whole bodies, including tongues and eyes, in their dances. These are used to welcome visitors, to celebrate special events, to frighten their enemies and for other social purposes.
The New Zealand rugby team adopted the haka to help focus their minds and heighten their competitive spirit and aggression before a rugby match.
The words of Ka Mate in Maori language, together with the translation can be found below.
Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
I die! I die! I live! I live!
I die! I die! I live! I live!
Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
I die! I die! I live! I live!
I die! I die! I live! I live!
Tenei te tangala puhura huru
This is the hairy man
Noan nei i tiki mai
Who fetched the Sun
Whakawhiti te ra
And caused it to shine again
A upa ... ne! ka upa ... ne!
One upward step! Another upward step!
A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
An upward step, another .. the Sun shines!!
One upward step! Another upward step!
A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
An upward step, another .. the Sun shines!!
