A postulate (also sometimes called an axiom) is a statement that is agreed by everyone to be correct.
This is useful for creating proofs in mathematics and science, (also seen in social science)Along with definitions, postulates are often the basic truth of a much larger theory or law.
Thus a postulate is a hypothesis advanced as an essential presupposition to a train of reasoning.
Postulates themselves cannot be proven, but since they are usually self-evident, their acceptance is not a problem.
Here is a good example of a postulate (given by Euclid in his studies about geometry).
Two points determine (make) a line.
Sometimes, postulates are not obviously correct, but are required for their consequences.
One example is Albert Einstein's postulate that the universe is homogenous.
This type of postulate was necessary to make possible some major scientific achievements, but can also be problematic since it is not self-evident.
Obvious and easy to understand
Does not contain many words that are difficult to explain
Few in quantity
Work together without making any strange result (that is, they are consistent)
True when used alone (which means that they can be used independently)
Consistency proof, in mathematics, logic, and theoretical physics
Consistency (statistics), a property of estimation
Consistency criterion for voting systems, which says that whenever option A is the winner in two different districts, it must also be the winner in the combined district
Consistency model, in computer science
Social influence means someone affecting the emotions, opinions, or behaviours of others.
It can be either planned for a purpose, or be an unplanned result of other events.
The adjective influential means "having much influence", so influential people or things have the power to change other people or things in some way.
This word is often used to describe famous people.
For example, Mahatma Gandhi was a very influential person, because the things he did and said changed many peoples lives, and many people believe he has even influenced the world.
Kings, clergy and celebrities are also among the influential, as people pay attention to what they say or do.
Events can also influence.
For example, World War II changed many people's lives.
They died or became richer or poorer or went to a new place, even after the war ended.
When printing became common, it influenced developments in science, politics, religion, and other human activities.
I am a human.
The first sentence can be understood to say "I exist as a human", and simply speaking, this is probably true.
The fourth sentence is more difficult to understand, because it can be understood to say "seven exists as the sum of four and three", but "seven" is not something that we can see or touch like a pen or a human.
The question "What is existence?"
is a very important one for philosophers, and many people think Aristotle is the first human being to have thought seriously about the question.
"A Treatise on Book Titles" is an old book written by Muhammad al-Amidi.
It talks about existence and is written in Arabic.

A Viennese waltz (Valse in French, Walzer in German) is a music and dance which started in Vienna in the late 18th century.
It is a ballroom dance in 3/4 time.
It is the most famous of all dance forms.
It became extremely popular during the 19th century, and is still danced today.
Many famous composers wrote waltzes for piano or for orchestra.
The rhythm of the waltz can be heard in lots of music, not just in pieces which are called a 'waltz'.
History of the music
It is difficult to know exactly when the waltz started.
The word comes from a German word “walzen” which means “to turn”.
This is because the dancers turn around as they spin round the dance floor.
There were German dances called Ländler which were simpler than the minuet and popular amongst ordinary people.
The waltz developed from these dances.
Schubert wrote many pieces called 'Ländler'.
He also started to use the title 'Waltz'.
Beethoven wrote 30 variations on a waltz that had been composed by Anton Diabelli.
Many people thought that the new dance was bad.
This was because the dancing couples stood very close to one another and held one another in their arms (in the old minuet they held hands politely).
Some people thought that it was very immoral and wrote angry letters to the newspapers saying that it was the end of civilised society.
However, the waltz continued to be popular, and many dance halls were opened where people could waltz.
Composers became interested in the music of the waltz.
Weber wrote a piece called 'Invitation to the Dance'.
It has a main tune, then a set of variations, and at the end it comes back to the first tune.
This form became a common way of writing a group of waltzes.
Two composers in Vienna who became well known for their waltzes were Joseph Lanner (1801–1843) and Johann Strauss (1804–1849), but the most famous of all was one of Strauss’s sons, also called Johann.
Father and son are sometimes called Johann Strauss I and Johann Strauss II.
The son is often called the 'King of the Waltz'.
He wrote many waltzes which are still very popular today.
On New Year’s Day the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra always give a concert which can be seen worldwide on television.
They play lots of Strauss waltzes.
The most famous one is called 'The Blue Danube' (German: 'An den schönen, blauen Donau').
In the Romantic period there was hardly a composer who was not influenced by the waltz.
Chopin wrote about 15 piano waltzes, some of them are very fast, some are slower and more melancholy (sad).
Brahms wrote 16 waltzes for piano duet.
Many composers wrote waltzes in their operas, especially when the story is about people dancing at a party.
The waltz was used a lot in operettas and ballets.
Tchaikovsky wrote lots of waltz music in Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker.
Even Wagner, whose music is mostly very serious, wrote a waltz in his opera Parsifal .
The rhythm of the waltz can be heard in a lot of orchestral music, e.g. Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique.
The great composers Anton Bruckner and Gustav Mahler preferred to use the old German Ländler in their symphonies.
Although the 19th century was the greatest period of the waltz, people continued to write and dance waltzes in the 20th century.
In his opera Der Rosenkavalier (1909) the German composer Richard Strauss (no relation of Johann Strauss) the story is about Vienna in the old days, and so he uses the waltz to create the feeling of a time that was past.
The waltz continued to be used in a lot of operettas, e.g. by Franz Léhar in The Merry Widow .
The French composer Maurice Ravel wrote waltzes, including a brilliant piece for orchestra which was simply called La Valse.
Like Richard Strauss in Der Rosenkavalier, Ravel was trying to describe the music of a century ago.
La Valse is a piece which lasts about 20 minutes in one continuous movement.
Lots of different instruments have a share in playing many different tunes.
Competitive dance
The Viennese waltz is one of the five dances in international ballroom dance.
It is the only one not invented in the early 20th century.
It is the only one where the figures which competitors dance is restricted.
Only nine figures are permitted by the World Dance Council.

Musk deer are a group of even-toed ungulate mammals.
They form the family Moschidae.
There is only one genus in Moschidae, Moschus.
There are five species of musk deer, and they are all very similar.
Musk deer are not true deer, and are classed in a different family.
Unlike other deer, musk deer do not grow antlers.
Instead, they have large canine teeth that reach down from the mouth.
The Musk deer emits a particular odor which gives it its name.
Himalayan musk deer (Moschus leucogaster)
Alpine musk deer (Moschus chrysogaster)
Siberian musk deer (Moschus moschiferus)
Black musk deer (Moschus fuscus)
Dwarf musk deer (Moschus berezovskii)
Kashmir musk deer (Moschus cupreus)
Musk deer are about 90 centimeters long and about 60 centimeters high with a tail length of 4-6 centimeters.
They weigh about 10 kilograms.
Musk deer usually have dark brown fur.
Males have long upper canine teeth (called tusks), which can be up to 7 cm long.
Musk deer do not have antlers.
Male musk deer also have a musk gland.
Musk deer live in the mountain forests of Asia, Russia, China, and the Korean Peninsula.
They live in the mountains, mostly at heights of 2500 to 3500 meters.
They live in dense forests.
Musk deer are mostly active at night.
Musk deer eat grass and moss; in winter they also eat twigs and lichen.
Musk deer live alone.
If two male musk deer meet, they fight, during which they can seriously hurt each other with their tusk-like teeth.
The female gives birth to 1-2 babies.
A musk deer baby has spots on its fur.
Musk deer and humans
Male musk deer have a gland that produces musk.
Musk is used to make perfumes and soap, and it is also used in Traditional Chinese medicine.
One musk gland has about 25 to 30 grams of musk.
Musk deer have been hunted and killed for its musk.
Because of this, musk deer have become fewer and endangered.
Another method is to catch a living musk deer, take its musk, and let it go free again.
This method takes more time, so it is not used often.
There are also musk deer farms.
The Himalayan musk deer or white-bellied musk deer (Moschus leucogaster) is a deer that lives in Central Asia.
Like other musk deer, the Himalayan musk deer lives in the Himalayan mountains and places around those mountains.
They are large plant-eating animals that can live in cold places.
Himalayan musk deer are active at night and at dawn and dusk.
They spend most of their time alone.
Himalayan musk deer all leave their feces in the same place.
Scientists call this a latrine site.
They do this to mark their territory, meaning to show other deer that a place belongs to them.
Scientists have seen them 3200-4200 meters above sea level.
Scientists believe Himalayan musk deer like forests with a mixture of Himalayan birch and Himalayan fir trees.
They like places with many different kinds of smaller plants.
Himalayan musk deer are in danger of dying out because human beings trap them for their fur and their musk pods.
People use musk pods to make perfumes and in traditional medicines.
When people set traps for male musk deer, they trap and kill female musk deer and fawns too.
In the 21st century, one kilogram of musk pod can pay USD45,000.
The FIBA Basketball World Cup, known as the FIBA World Championship from 1950 through 2010, is a world basketball tournament for men's national teams held once every four years by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).

A prelude is a short piece of music for a musical instrument.
It is called a prelude because it is supposed to be played before something else (Latin pre=before; ludere=to play).
Preludes come from the Renaissance period, when lutenists (people who played the lute) improvised (which means playing while making it up as they were going along) a simple piece before a concert so that they could check whether their instrument was in tune.
During the 16th century, composers often wrote pieces which they called a “prelude” which was often a separate piece of music.
These were often for lute, guitar or cittern.
By the early 18th century, the Baroque prelude was often a piece of music which was followed by a fugue.
Johann Sebastian Bach wrote lots of pieces like this, which were called “Preludes and Fugues”.
Most of them were for keyboard instruments such as the harpsichord or organ.
Forty-eight of them are from a collection called The Well-Tempered Clavier, which was made up of two sets of twenty-four preludes and fugues that are each written in a different major or minor key signature.
The first prelude, in C major, is very famous.
It sounds like an improvisation made up of gentle broken chords like a lutenist might play. (
This is the piece that Charles Gounod later used for his Ave Maria.)
Preludes were also pieces which were followed by a series of dance movements (a “suite”).
In the Classical period, not many composers wrote preludes.
More preludes were composed in the 19th century (the period of Romanticism).
Frédéric Chopin wrote a collection of twenty-four short piano pieces which he called “Preludes”.
Just like Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, there is a prelude in every major and minor key signature, but unlike Bach's, these pieces are not meant to be followed by anything; they are just separate pieces of music that are often performed together.
Some are not too difficult to play, but others are very hard (virtuoso).
Composers like Alexander Scriabin, Karol Szymanowski, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Claude Debussy and Olivier Messiaen wrote preludes in the style of Chopin.
Other composers who wrote preludes included Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Liszt and Max Reger.
There were also composers who were inspired by the music of Bach and started writing Preludes and Fugues, such as Dmitri Shostakovich, whose collection of Preludes and Fugues for piano are, just like Bach and Chopin's, written in all the major and minor keys.
There are also examples of 19th century composers who wrote short pieces for orchestra called “Preludes”.
Sometimes, they wrote a short orchestral introduction to an opera which they called Prelude (or German: “Vorspiel”) instead of the usual word “overture”.
The polonaise is a Polish dance.
It started as a folk dance and then became popular among the Polish nobility.
It is in 3/4 time.
It follows a distinctive rhythm as illustrated above.
Many polonaises are composed in what is called ternary form, or song form, or minuet and trio.
These forms all follow an A-B-A pattern.
The music of the A sections is similar in both sections, if not exactly identical.
The B section is entirely different.
It provides contrast in some way to the A sections.
In the courts of the aristocracy musicians would often play a polonaise from the gallery while the people danced below in the reception hall.
Polish culture was very popular in Europe in the 1830s and so the polonaise became known in other countries.
Composers started to write polonaises for the piano.
Pieces called Polonaise had already been composed by Bach, Handel, François Couperin and others, but it was Frédéric Chopin who in the 19th century wrote several Polonaises for piano which became famous.
Most of them are very difficult to play, especially the famous Polonaise in A flat, Op.
Several Russian composers wrote polonaises to give a Polish atmosphere, e.g. Tchaikovsky in his ballet The Sleeping Beauty and in his opera Eugene Onegin .

Sir Malcolm Arnold (born Northampton, 21 October 1921; died 23 September 2006) was an English composer.
He is famous for writing symphonies, concertos and movie music.
People disagree about whether he is one of the really great composers, or just a very skilled musician.
His music is often very tuneful, sometimes it is sentimental.
He could write music very quickly.
His famous music for the movie The Bridge on the River Kwai was composed in ten days.
In 1938 Malcolm Arnold went to the Royal College of Music to study composition with Gordon Jacob.
He started his career as a trumpeter with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, later becoming principal trumpet.
By the late 1940s he was concentrating on his composing career.
Arnold was composing at a time when many composers were writing music which was quite atonal which made it hard to understand, but Arnold’s music is tonal and there are many tunes which are easy to remember.
He wrote nine symphonies and several concertos for different instruments, even unusual instruments like the harmonica.
Some of his best orchestral works are the set of dances: English Dances , Scottish Dances  and  Cornish Dances .
He also wrote 2 operas, 7 ballets and 2 string quartets.
His overture Tam O'Shanter is very exciting.
It tells in music the story in the poem by Robert Burns.
Arnold wrote music for 132 films.
The most famous is The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) for which he won an Oscar.
He was the first British composer ever to have won this award.
This movie includes the famous Colonel Bogey March.
This march had been written many years earlier by Kenneth J. Alford, but Arnold composed a countermelody to it.
His original music for the movie includes the famous River Kwai March (this is not the same as the Colonel Bogey March).
Other movies for which he wrote music include The Belles of St Trinian's (1954), The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958) and Whistle Down the Wind (1961).
Arnold’s health was often very poor.
At times he fought with alcoholism and depression, and in his later years with dementia.
He had moved to Dublin in 1972, but moved back to England in 1984 and settled in Attleborough, Norfolk.
His full-time carer Anthony Day helped him a lot during his final years.
Bowser is a video game character.

He has spikes on his back, breathes fire, and is bigger than normal koopas.
He was ranked #1 in the Top 50 Video Game Villains of all-time list by the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2013.
Bowser's first appearance was in Super Mario Bros. as a final boss to Mario.
The first seven castles in the game had Bowsers, but they only looked like him and were actually his minions, who were disguised as him.
Only the eighth Bowser is really him.
Bowser's kids, called the Koopalings, were bosses in Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and New Super Mario Bros. U. However, after Super Mario World, The Koopalings were no longer Bowser's biological kids, since they are now adopted children and Bowser Jr. is now his biological child.
In Super Mario World, Bowser appears in a clown car and throws Mecha Koopas.
When Mario moved to the Nintendo 64 with Super Mario 64, Bowser was again the main bad guy.
In the remake of this game, Super Mario 64 DS, he is fought as a boss three times.
He also appears in the Disney movie Wreck-It Ralph.

Band History
Starts as Xero and Hybrid Theory EP (1996–1999)
The band was first made up of three friends from high school, Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson and Rob Bourdon.
After high school, they started to get serious in music and added DJ Joe Hahn, bass player Dave "Phoenix" Farrell and singer Mark Wakefield to their band.
They were named "Xero".
Even though they have few materials, the band started recording and making songs in Shinoda's studio in his bedroom in 1996.
The band started feeling uncomfortable and angry with each other after they were not able to get a contract from a major music company.
Because they did not become successful, Wakefield quit so he could look for other music projects.
Farrell also quit so he could perform in concerts with many bands including his old band, Tasty Snax.
After a long time without a lead singer, Xero added an Arizonan singer named Chester Bennington.
Jeff Blue, the vice-president of Zomba Music in March 1999, insisted them to get Bennington.
Bennington, who used to be in a post-grunge band called Grey Daze, became the most wanted among the people who wanted to be in Xero because of the strength in his voice.
The band then soon changed their name from Xero to "Hybrid Theory" in 1999 and released their EP the same year.
Since Shinoda and Bennington sound good together, it helped restart the band into making new music.
The band restarting also led to the band changing its name again to "Linkin Park" in 2000, a tribute to Santa Monica's Lincoln Park.
Even with this, they still could not get a music contract.
After many record labels (music companies) rejected them, they asked Jeff Blue, now vice-president of Warner Bros. Records, to help.
After not being able to sign with Warner Bros. three times, Blue helped the band finally get a contract with Warner Bros. in 1999.
