The ethnic composition of Belgium is very complex because in that country Dutch speaking people are in majority ( 59 %), while French and German speaking are respectively 40% and 1%. The French live in the Wallonia region and the Dutch lives in flemish region. While this is the case in the country, the capital, Brussels has French speaking people as the majority ( 80%) and Dutch 20%.

Vitamins C and E, selenium, and carotenoids such as beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin are examples of antioxidants. This fact sheet offers basic antioxidant statistics, summarizes what research is saying about antioxidants and safety, and recommends sources for further details.

The French revolution took place in the year 1789.  

The introduction of liberal ideas of change affected many nations in various ways. In Europe, the French revolution directed a series of wars between several nations and the French because of the rise of the French army leader Napoleon Bonaparte. For instance, Europe was wracked by two decades of conflict rotating around France's attempts to expand its revolutionary goals, and the resistance of conservative authority, led by Austria and Britain. And a war broke out at the time when Prussia and Austria invaded France.

(i) An equitable distribution of resources has become essential for a sustained quality of life and global peace.
(ii) If the present trend of resource depletion by a few individuals and countries continues, the future of our planet is in danger.
(iii) Therefore, resource planning is essential for sustainable existence of all forms of life. Sustainable existence is a component of sustainable development.

The factors which have enabled globalisation in India are
(i) During the past ,50 years, several improvements in technology have taken place. For example, in transportation technology, containers are now used for the transportation of goods. This has led to huge reduction in cost and increase in speed in reaching the markets.
(ii)Telecommunication facilities are used to contact one another around the world and to communicate from remote areas. Internet enables us to send instant electronic mail and talk across the world at negligible costs.
(iii) The Government of India has removed barriers or restrictions to trade set earlier. This step, called liberalisaHon, ha enabled goods and services to be exported and imported easily.
Multinationals lave been allowed to set-up factories and offices in India. Due to this, there is greater integration of poduction and markets across countries.

Economic liberalisation means reducing government interference in economic activities and removing trade and business barriers.

Liberalisation of trade and investment policies helped the globalisation process in the following ways :
(a) Businesses are free to make decisions for foreign import and export.
(b) Foreign companies could easily set up factories and industries in a country after
liberalisation.

World Trade organisation (WTO) is an international body , which aims at liberalising international trade . it was started at the initiative of the developed countries .

Importance of standing up after experiencing loss.

• Makes us chase our dreams in a smarter stronger come back.
• It makes us not loose hope in life
• It makes us try out different stuff other that the one we failed in.
• It is the nature of life to fail, so when we fail, life does not come to an end, we get up and try again.
• Failing makes us understand our weaknesses, after this we shall strengthen and come back with third.
• After failure, the chances of doing it ringht increase and therefore require a stand up.

A circuit is said to be connected in series when the same current flows through all the components in the circuit. In such circuits, the current has only one path. Let us consider the household decorative string lights as an example of a series circuit. This is nothing but a series of multiple tiny bulbs connected in series. If one bulb fuses, all the bulbs in series do not light up. If Vt is the total voltage then it is equal to V1+V2+V3

A circuit is said to be parallel when the electric current has multiple paths to flow through. The components that are a part of the parallel circuits will have a constant voltage across all ends. If Vt is the total voltage then it is equal to V1=V2=V3

Relational DataBase Management System (rdbms)
RDBMS is a type of DataBase Management System that stores data in the form of relations (tables). Relational databases are powerful, so they require few assumptions about how data is related or how, it will be extracted from the database.
An important feature of relational database system is that a single database can be spread across several tables. Base, Oracle, DB2, SAP, Sybase, ASE, Informix, Access etc. are the examples of RDBMS.

The Analytical Writing measure tests your critical thinking and analytical writing skills. It assesses your ability to articulate and support complex ideas, construct and evaluate arguments, and sustain a focused and coherent discussion. It does not assess specific content knowledge.

The Analytical Writing measure consists of two separately timed analytical writing tasks:

• a 30-minute "Analyze an Issue" task
• a 30-minute "Analyze an Argument" task

The Issue task presents an opinion on an issue of general interest followed by specific instructions on how to respond to that issue. You are required to evaluate the issue, consider its complexities and develop an argument with reasons and examples to support your views.

The Argument task requires you to evaluate a given argument according to specific instructions. You will need to consider the logical soundness of the argument rather than agree or disagree with the position it presents.

The two tasks are complementary in that one requires you to construct your own argument by taking a position and providing evidence supporting your views on an issue, and the other requires you to evaluate someone else's argument by assessing its claims and evaluating the evidence it provides.

Individuals taking the computer-delivered test will use a basic word processor developed by ETS. The basic word processor contains the following functionalities: insert text, delete text, cut-and-paste and undo the previous action. Tools such as a spell checker and grammar checker are not available in the ETS software, largely to maintain fairness for those examinees who must handwrite their essays at paper-delivered administrations.
