Other bioethicists would broaden the scope of ethical evaluation to include the morality of all actions that might help or harm organisms capable of feeling fear and pain. A major focus of many in the bioethical field is stem cell research and its potential benefits and consequences for society and individuals. |

| Black & White Photography | Photography started out as a black and white medium, and for more than a century this was its dominant form. It rose to the level of art in the early part of the twentieth century with such photographers as Steichen and Stieglitz. By mid-century, the careful application of theory by such practitioners as Minor White and Ansel Adams gave the everyday user an understanding of what was possible. The advances of 35 mm film made photography something everyone could use, and the works of Capa, Cartier-Bresson, Eisenstadt and a host of others, in publications such as [i]LIFE[/i] and the [i]Satuday Evening Post[/i], brought photography as an art form into the public eye.

| Breast Cancer | Blogs in this category focus on breast cancer, treatments, experiences, news, and opinions. |
| Breastfeeding | Breastfeeding is the act of feeding an infant or young child with milk directly from a woman's breasts. With the advent and popular use of infant formula in developed nations, breastfeeding rates plummeted in the mid 20th century. As it fell out of favour, women choosing to breastfeed in these countries found that there was diminishing knowledge and support upon which they could rely. In 1956, when the breastfeeding rate in the US had dropped to nearly 20%, the La Leche League (LLL) was formed to provide the much-needed information and guidance that these women needed. As breastfeeding is being championed increasingly by medical professionals, it is once again becoming accepted. However, much teaching and moral support is still required to make up for the knowledge lost to the popularity of formula usage during the past several generations. The LLL's flagship publication, [i]The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding[/i], is considered by many to be the quintessential book on the matter. This book also offers some instruction on attachment parenting, a related philosophy promoted by the LLL. Blogs in this industry may offer advice on breastfeeding, provide significant scientific or sociopolitical information about breastfeeding, or simply discuss the day-to-day challenges and successes women and their children experience while breastfeeding. |

| Bullfighting | The controversial sport of bullfighting ([i]tauromachy[/i]) is practiced primarily by professionals usually called [i]toreros[/i], toreadors or matadors. While it is commonly associated with Spain, the Spanish style is one of several regional styles. It is considered to be the "classic" style, in which the bull is killed. In addition to Spain, bullfighting is practiced in Portugal, southern France, and some Latin American countries. Bullfighting has its origins in antiquity, going back to prehistoric bull sacrifices and continuing through sacrifices to the Roman god Mithras, as portrayed by the [i]tauroctony[/i], a representation of a young Mithras killing a bull. The tauroctony was located in a place of honor in a Mithraic temple. Many of the oldest bullrings in Spain are on or near such temples. Bullfighting is banned in many countries as being cruel to bulls and horses. Advocates champion it as part of a long-standing cultural heritage. |

| Creative Writing | Creative writing is a term used to distinguish certain types of writing from writing in general. The lack of specificity of the term is partly intentional, designed to make the process of writing accessible to everyone and to ensure that non-traditional, or traditionally low-status writing (for example, writing by marginalised social groups, experimental writing, genre fiction) is not excluded from academic consideration or dismissed as trivial. Despite this inclusivity, some characteristics of creative writing can be tentatively identified. The most obvious is that creative writing has a quality of awareness or self-consciousness which writing in general need not have. The writer of a shopping list may agonise over its contents, but once he or she begins to think about their presentation, their order on the page, their true ability to represent the items on supermarket shelves, their possible symbolic or associative meaning, what they imply about the character of the person writing them, how they undermine or reinforce each other, how a reader from another cultural context would consider them, and so on, the shopping-list writer is becoming a creative writer, and might do well to move on to greater projects. |

| Cross Stitch | Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches are used to form a picture. Other stitches are also commonly used in cross-stitch, among them, 1/4, 1/2 & 3/4 stitches and backstitches. Cross-stitch is usually executed on easily countable evenweave fabric, or more rarely on non-countable fabric, on which a countable fabric is applied that is removed later, by drawing out every thread of it under the embroidery. This fabric is called waste canvas. The stitcher counts the threads in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance. |

| Deaf Culture | Deaf community and Deaf culture are two phrases used to refer to persons who are culturally Deaf as opposed to those who are deaf from the medical/audiological/pathological perspective. When used in the cultural sense, the word deaf is very often capitalized. Being unable to hear is only a part of being Deaf. In fact, when the word is used in the cultural sense, hearing is one of the least important criteria used to delineate membership within the group. Many persons that would be labeled as hearing or hard-of-hearing from the audiological/medical/pathological perspective would be labeled, or would label themselves Deaf from the cultural one. Similarly, a person who identifies themselves as Deaf may in fact have much more hearing than one who identified themselves as hearing or hard-of-hearing. The use of the cultural label is a question of personal identity much more than a question of hearing ability. |

| Drum 'n' Bass / Jungle | Drum and bass (drum n bass, drum'n'bass, DnB, d'n'b) is an electronic music style. Originally an offshoot of the United Kingdom breakbeat hardcore and rave scene, it came into existence when people mixed reggae basslines with sped-up hip hop breakbeats. Jungle music (or just Jungle) is commonly held to be a term that is synonymous and interchangeable with drum and bass. That being said, there is no universally accepted semantic distinction between the terms. Some associate "jungle" with older material from the first half of the 1990s (based on irregular beats and pure sine basses), and see drum and bass as essentially succeeding jungle with the newer, post-techstep developments (with regular breakbeats and steps). Others use jungle as a shorthand for ragga jungle, a specific sub-genre within the broader realm of drum and bass.ghtlessly in the air due to the series of arched windows which lie directly beneath it. DnB and Jungle music relies heavily on rhythmic beats, especially from percussion, as well as bass from guitars or synthesizers. |

It has often been conflated with mythology, and vice versa, because it has been assumed that any figurative story that does not pertain to the dominant beliefs of the time is not of the same status as those dominant beliefs. The modern Western folklore that we face today has been identified by some scholars as that of the urban legend and the conspiracy theory. UFO abduction narratives can be seen, in some sense, to refigure the tales of pre-Christian Europe, or even such tales in the Bible as the Ascent of Elijiah to Heaven in a spinning wheel.

Since the organizers of the information are usually its primary users, folksonomy produces results that reflect more accurately the population's conceptual model of the information. Social software lets people rendezvous, connect or collaborate by use of a computer network. |

| Found Photographs | Blogs in this industry focus on, specifically and as their primary theme, collections of "vernacular" photographs (definition and note below) found at garage sales, in the trash, at flea markets, in antique shops, in thift stores, at estate sales, or anywhere else that such photos may be obtained. Vernacular Photography is a recognized and specific genre focusing on the commonplace, the familiar, the everyday and the domestic. Examples include family snapshots, vacation pictures focusing on the travelers themselves, graduation pictures, class photos, photobooth pictures, signage, store fronts ... subjects that are considered ordinary rather than extraordinary. Many photos in this genre are seen as "kitschy" or "retro" and are often considered accidentally artistic by collectors. NOTE: A hallmark of Found Photography is that the collector typically knows nothing (or very little) about the subjects of the photographs (such as their identities or specific locations), distinguishing blogs in this industry from regular photoblogs. It is also popular for collectors to fabricate their own narratives for the photos, as a means of comment. This should be regarded as artistic license, not factual description of the context or subjects of the photos. |

| Fusion (Nuclear) | In physics, nuclear fusion (a thermonuclear reaction) is a process in which two nuclei join, forming a larger nucleus and releasing energy. Nuclear fusion is the energy source which causes stars to shine, and hydrogen bombs to explode. It takes considerable energy to force nuclei to fuse, even those of the least massive element, hydrogen. But the fusion of lighter nuclei, which creates a heavier nucleus and a free neutron, will generally release even more energy than it took to force them together -- an exothermic process that can produce self-sustaining reactions. |

| Futures / Options | In finance, a futures contract is a standardized contract, traded on a futures exchange, to buy or sell a certain underlying instrument at a certain date in the future, at a set price specified on the last trading date.

An option is a contract whereby one party (the buyer) has the right but not the obligation to exercise a feature of the contract (the option) on or before a future date (the exercise date). The other party (the writer or seller) has the obligation to honour the specified feature of the contract. Since the option gives the buyer a right and the seller an obligation, the buyer has received something of value. |

| Garage Music | Garage is any of several different varieties of modern electronic dance music generally connected to house or disco. Usage is different in the US and UK.

Over time, the term in the US came to mainly describe the more soulful, gospel-inspired styles of disco and house music first made popular by Tony Humphries at club Zanzibar in Newark, NJ. The evolution of house music in the UK in the late 1990s led to the term being applied to a new form of music also known as speed garage or UK Garage. This style is now frequently combined with other forms of music like hip hop, rap and R&B, all broadly filed under the description urban music. The correct pronunciation of UK Garage is "Garridge", rather than in the same way as the building (although the pronunciation "garridge" for the building is also common in the UK). |

| Gardening / Horticulture | Gardening is an activity—the art and craft of growing plants—most often taking place in or about one's residence, in a space referred to as the garden. A garden that is in close proximity to one's residence is also known as a residential garden. Although a garden typically is located on the land within, surrounding, or adjacent to a residence, it may also be located in less traditional locations such as on a roof, in an atrium, on a balcony, in a windowbox, or on a patio. Horticulture is, however, much more. Horticulturists work in plant propagation, crop production, plant breeding and genetic engineering, plant biochemistry, plant physiology, and the storage, processing, and transportation of fruits, berries, nuts, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and turf. They improve crop yield, quality, nutritional value, and resistance to insects, diseases, and environmental stresses. Genetics is also used as a valuable tool in the development of plants that can synthesize chemicals for fighting disease (including cancers). |

Examples being considered include irreducible complexity, information mechanisms, and specified complexity. |

| Latin | Latin is an Indo-European language originally spoken in the region around Rome called Latium. It gained great importance as the formal language of the Roman Empire. All Romance languages are descended from Latin, and many words based on Latin are found in other modern languages such as English. The Latin alphabet, derived from the Greek, remains the most widely-used alphabet in the world. It is said that 80 percent of scholarly English words are derived from Latin (in a large number of cases by way of French). Moreover, in the Western world, Latin was a lingua franca, the learned language for scientific and political affairs, for more than a thousand years, being eventually replaced by French in the 18th century and English in the late 19th. Ecclesiastical Latin remains the formal language of the Roman Catholic Church to this day, and thus the official national language of the Vatican. |

The simplicity of "instant" cameras, such as those produced (and discontinued) by Polaroid, has a similar appeal. In February 2008 Polaroid announced that it would be ceasing production of the film for these cameras, leaving aficionados with the prospect of finding other sources of film, or stockpiling and using expired film (an art form in itself). |

| Nanotechnology | Nanotechnology as a collective term refers to technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1-100nm. (One nanometer equals one thousandth of a micrometer or one millionth of a millimeter.) The term sometimes applies to any microscopic technology. Due to the small size at which nanotechnology operates, physical phenomena not observed at the macroscopic scale dominate. These nanoscale phenomena include quantum size effects and short range forces such as van der Waals forces. Furthermore the vastly increased ratio of surface area to volume promotes surface phenomena. Since the complexity (i.e number of features per unit of area) of computers is growing exponentially it is believed that it will develop into nanotechnology, i.e. molecular electronics, in the near future if Moore's law is to be upheld. |
