It rose to the level of art in the early part of the twentieth century with such photographers as Steichen and Stieglitz.

| 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. |

Buddhism teaches followers to perform good and wholesome actions, to avoid bad and harmful actions, and to purify and train the mind.

Enlightenment leads to Nirvana (Sanskrit: "extinguishment"). |

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. |

| Chess | Sometimes called Western Chess or International Chess to distinguish it from its predecessors and other chess variants, the current form of the game of chess emerged in Southern Europe in the second half of the 15th century after evolving from Chaturange, a much older game of Indian origin. Chess is a board game for two players played on a square board divided into eight rows (or ranks) and eight columns (or files) creating 64 individual squares which alternate in color orthogonally (traditionally as white and black although other shades are sometimes used). Each player begins the game with 16 pieces: eight pawns, two knights, two bishops, two rooks, one queen and one king with each kind of piece moving uniquely. The two players' pieces are differentiated by contrasting colors. The object of the game is to make it impossible for the opponent to prevent the capture of his or her king (checkmate). |

Defining computer art by its end product proves to be quite difficult, the finished work can exist as an image, sound, animation, video, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Web site, algorithm, performance or gallery installation. The only true definition of computer generated art can be found with the creator, a person who in fact uses the computer as his or her primary tool. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
