1. The effectiveness of the speed talk activity to me are,it make me think faster to answer the question that they ask,without think my grammar mistake.It also make our relationship become more closer.
ReplyDelete2. For me,the semi auto car is better than manual car.Because at my home only have semi auto car,so i feel comfortable with that car. Besides that, it easy to handle, so i don't care about the advantages of the manual car.
3. By doing the movie maker,i get a lots of experience,such as how to decide and choose the product of my movie maker,how to make it interesting and amazing.
4. I choose games to compare and contrast.
For compare:
1. Both of the soccer and basket ball use balls to play.
2. Both games are played using timed 'quarters'.
3. They are played on a rectangular field.
4. The 2 games are popular spectator sports.
5. Both games have center and defends
6. Both games have the rule.
For Contrast:
1. The soccer games are played with feet,while basketball played with hands.
2. For soccer,the ball is kick into net,but for basketball,the ball is thrown into a net.
3. For soccer,it use big field to play than basketball.
4. "Dribbling" means kicking for soccer,while bouncing for basketball.
5. Soccer commonly are play by man,but basketball are play by woman.
6. The time up for soccer games is long time than basketball.
1. Speedtalk is a constructed language that uses a single sound to stand for a word.For me there are a lots of effectiveness in doing speedtalk that we can find.The first is we can achieve great improvements in communication speed and skill.Other than that is it will make us to think more quickly and logically.It is also do not contain hidden error of English and make our brain works more faster.
ReplyDelete2.I would like to choose manual car for the future car use because it is less expensive than the semi auto car.Other than that,the manual car also doesn't have to pump a large volume of oil through the transmission and provide better driving experiences.Besides,it have fuel economical attributes than the other one.Cars with manual transmissions also offer better control when driving because they have a faster shift response.
3.There are some experiences that i have gained in doing the movie maker.First,i need to find all materials that i will use in making the movie maker such as the products to be described,pictures,videos and audios that relate to the theme 'NOW & THEN'.Then collect all the datas.After that,import all the materials and datas to the storyline.To make the movie maker look more interesting and enjoyable,just simply add the transitions,effects and also sounds
to the project.We can also add the titles and credits to it.Finally,the project must be published before we can play and share it with others.The movie maker project makes me to be more patient and creative and put something different to make it more interesting.
4. In comparing and contrasting section,i would like to describe on games that are tennis and badminton.In similarities,both games use racket as main equipment.Besides that,these two game also use net in the between of players.Both games also have similarity in their player categories which are men's single,men doubles,women's single,women doubles and mixed doubles.Tennis and badminton also need to hit the ball and shuttle.
On the other hand,tennis and badminton have thier own differences.Tennis use much heavier ball compared to badminton that only use shuttle.The strings for tennis racket is more stronger and thicker than badminton strings.Other than that,badminton court is much smaller than tennis court.
hi... good morning...
ReplyDelete1.speed talk activity need us to answer the question from our buddies in a short time period. it help me improve my questioning and answering skills. it also teach me to think instantly. lastly, i learn to be sensitive to surrounding..
2. for the car of the future i would prefer to choose the manual gear car. because, it is less uses of oil so, that means we can save our money too.. else, we can gain our driving experience. as we are good in driving the manual car, we can drive the semi-auto car automatically.. besides, the price of the manual car is reasonable,so that we are afford to buy it.
3.movie maker are interesting if we know how to use it. by using movie maker i can create one for my family or during my mom bufday as one of the way i appreciate them. it can be a sweet birthday present as we do not have money to buy the other present. doing this movie maker need a lot of patience. because sometime it'll suddenly hang n the computer will be shut down automatically. it already happened to me and as the MORAL of the story, YOU NEED to make sure that you save your project for each step in creating the movie.

1)Speed talk
ReplyDeleteThe first activity that we have done in English class for this semester is speed talk. In my opinion, this kind of activity can polish our skill on spontaneous speaking. It is because, we don’t have a lot of time to think about what we want to talk about. It also can show how far that our mind thinking to answer any question that given and to give any opinion about any issue. Besides that, we also can learn how to make various question in many ways. In the other hand, we also become more confident to speak in English than before.
2)The car of the future
Actually Mr. Suriya, we have not discussing about the car of the future yet. So, I cannot give any comment about the activity.
So, I want to comment about the semi-auto car and manual car.
Both cars have their own advantages. So it is depends on the person either to use the manual or the semi-auto car. Like my father and the other guys that I know, they choose to use manual car because it more challenging and the manual car pick up faster than semi-auto car.
However, if it is me, I would like to choose the semi-auto car because it is easier to drive especially in very busy city, which is always jammed. So, I prefer to have both kind of car…
3)Experience of doing the movie maker
For your information, this is my first time of doing movie maker. So it is very interesting for me. Before I learnt about how to create a movie using this movie maker, I feel so scared because I think that it is very difficult but once I’ve learnt, I love to make movie again and over again. There are several steps in doing the movie maker. Firstly, we have to choose the pictures that we want to show in the movie maker and put it in one folder to make it easier. After that we are to determine the right song to make the movie is more interesting. The third step is importing the pictures and music and audio into the movie maker. Next, we can drag the song and the pictures into the timeline. After that, we can add any effects on the picture and add the transitions between the slides. Lastly, the final step is publishing the movie. Done! Now we can open and enjoy watching the movie!
4)Compare and contrast (Babysitter and Chef’s Assistant)
Compare:
-Both of it can gain money
-This two jobs are interesting
-Food are usually free
Contrast :
Babysitter
-Its easier to work because no boss watching over us
-It is comfortable
-No pressure and taxes
-Have time to make our own activity like reading
Chef’s Assistant
-More useful to gain experience and knowledge about food
-It is not a heavy work as the chef
-Can learn about the business management
-We can make our own business from the experience
1. The speedtalk activity was very so much fun as everyone came up with a variety of questions. Some questions were ordinary and some were different. It is actually about how much someone can say in a limited time. It is actually a good activity as we are ready to speak without any preparation.
ReplyDelete2. Car of the future basically touches on the differences between a manual and semi-automatic car. I would choose a semi-automatic car because of its advantages. This type of car is ideal because it cuts of the disadvantages of a manual car-removing the need for clutch pedal. Besides, it has no disadvantages of a fully automatic car.
3. Movie maker is a new experience to me because I am learning something new. Before this, I have not done any activity that requires me to use this application. Making this assessment a success would be a great deal.
4. For the compare and contrast activity, I chose to football and basketball. The similarities:
The similarities:
- both games use a ball
- both the games have got their own rules and regulation
- both have a center
- both game uses the time ‘quarters’
The differences:

hi, sir...
ReplyDeleteI am hafizuddin from K27.
1. Speed talk activity was very fun and it was my first time doing something like that. This activity made me to ask and answer the questions spontaneously. So, my brain hasn’t stop thinking to answer the question from my buddies. It made me to think logically based on experiences. This activity helps me to improve my communication skills although I still have a little bit problems in grammar. Otherwise it creates comfortable condition for English lesson.
2. For me, I would like to have both, semi auto car and manual car. Don’t ever think I am greedy. However I would like to have manual car first because it was cheaper than auto car. Manual car use less of oil than auto car and it have better shift response. I often driving manual car than auto car, so I am comfortable with its performances. However it become terrible during traffic jam because we need to control clutch carefully and it made me tired.
3. Actually I already have experiences in doing movie maker since I am 14 years old. For English project, I chose to made movie maker about cars. So, I have to find the pictures, video and music first. Then, during the class lesson, my partner and I have to create a video by using movie maker. We need to put the pictures to the storyboard and chose the right song. We also have to make a title and effect on this video. It was a hard because we had faced some problems with computer. However it was fun in making a video with our own ideas. It seems we are the directors of the movie.
4. Compare and contrast between soccer and netball:
There are many similarities between soccer and netball games. Both games have the players and it use a ball to play. Players in both games play the game on a field and it have their own rules.
However, there several differences between these two games. Netball uses the hand but soccer use feet to play. For netball game, it has 7 players while for soccer it has 11 players. Netball plays by the women and for the soccer usually play by the guy. Football’s player wearing a jersey while netball’s player wearing a vest jersey.
hi everybody....
ReplyDelete1. For me, the effectiveness of speed talk is so much. Here, we can improve our communication skills and make us become closer.we also need to think as fast as possible to answer the question.it's really fun.
2. I'm really obsess with manual car after taking license because it's using our skills on driving car.for semi auto car, it seems too simple and there is no joy of driving...hahahaha
3. sincerely i have no experience in making movie maker. but, i am study a lot here with my friends. now, i know how to cut the video, import pictures, putting the tittles, import musics and much more.hopefully, sir will give one more fun activity like this.
4. now, i would like to compare and contrast between soccer and netball.
similarities : both using ball, have rule, must be two teams, have time quarters, have defend, and both have jerseys....
differences : soccer is for boys and netball is for girls.soccer played on field but netball on the court. soccer is played by feet but netball used hand.
thanks sir...:):):)
A very pleasant day to all the readers..
ReplyDelete1)Speed talk
According to the title of this game, we were knowing that we've to talk fast in a certain period of time, or in a simple word, talk spontaneously. We were asked to created a question to be asked to each of our friends in the class. I've gotten with lot of effectiveness doing this game. First is speed on thinking to answer my friends' question. Then, from the game too, i got to have lot of general knowledge about recent issues since majority of them come out with that kind of question. It's also can improve our communication skill as well.. It was totally a challenging game for me!! Hoho! =)
2)Even i still don't have a license but if as i got a chance to have a car, i would choose semi-automatic car. I make such as decision because for me semi-automatic car always promising best driving experience because there is no clutch pedal. It's really suitable for this epoch of globalisation especially in cities where congestion frequently causes stop-and go traffic patterns. So, i no need to control clutch wherever i go which difficult for me to do so.
3)Movie maker?! That was my first expression toward my first assignment for UHL2322 lesson. Actually i'm not master of doing movie maker since i've no laptop or any computer devices to finish up that work. But after i got it, i try to observe that windows software. After a few observation, apparently it's so simple to do movie maker. Furthermore, my friend have explained us how to do the application in class. From putting all the photos and songs, choosing the right effect of each slides, and finishing it as a movie, absolutely gave a very best experience ever..
4)Sincerely i say, actually i'm so weak on comparing something. I always got low marks when i was in standard 6 at comparing section. Don't know what's the ground. But by doing compare and contrast activity in class, i got new experience to compare 2 things. Here i would like to compare and contrast between soccer and netball..
Similarities: Both have square field, using ball, wearing jersey, have rules and regulations, have defender, and have 2 goals.
Differences: Soccer is played using feet while netball is using hand, soccer always being played by boys while netball by girls, soccer has 11 players while netball has 7 players in a time, the sizes of both field and goals are difference too.

3. Create my own movie maker give a lot of experience to me.Even it little bit tired to finish it but at the end, I feel satisfied for the movie I had done.From selecting the picture and lastly select the music that suitable for the video, I feel enjoy with it..:)

~ teach me how to make a good decision in short given time
~ i can determine in which part that im still not good enough
~ i learn to be more sensitive to surroundings
~ improve my communication skill
~ make my relation with others classmate become more close..
2.The car of the future
In future,the model of car that i would prefer to is manual gear car.Why?? this is because,the manual gear car have more advantages compared to semi-auto car..Such as, manual car is more comfortable and enjoying for long journey beside its oil saved..Manual car also are used to drifting..Its better than semi-auto in drifting..manual car is also more interesting and challenging during driving because we need to change the gear and it make the driver out of sleepy..Besides that.i think when drive semi-auto car is like a lazy person because net of work we needed.We just have to put at 'D' for drive..
3.Experience in doing movie maker
actually i already have a little experience in doing the movie maker during my previous study..but in the first class, i learn how to import pictures from other file,import sounds,sort the picture into the storyboard,edit tittle for the picture,edit effects and transitions until how want to publish..I wish thanks for those were teach me last time because i become more understand how to make movie..And i should always apply it in whatever things..But im still don't like much in doing movie maker because laptop always hang during make it..I become tension with that hang.. :( ..What should i do if i don't want to faced hang during make it...

The differences : Basketball

1. Speed talk
ReplyDelete~ for me, the activity is very unique. To face others and answering question in short of time is very interesting. It teach us on how to respond faster but yet, the answer is logic and acceptable. Then, it can brush our talent whether we can be a debater or spectator in a debate competition. The activity teach us to be more sensitive when in crowd.
2. My dreamed car
~in future, i would like to have a car that fixed my desire to drive safe and steady. of course, I would prefer to choose semi-automatic car as it easy-to-drive. The manual transition gear is a bit burden you when stacked in jammed, as we need to shift gear several times along the way. Semi-automatic car also very suitable and easy to learn. Therefore, the best choice for me is the semi-automatic car.
3. Movie Maker
~talking about movie maker, I would like to express my view that movie maker is very useful to students especially when talking about presentation. my experience in handling movie maker? It's fun and I enjoyed learning about movie maker application as it is easy to handle even though a bit head-spinning when the files imported were missing~~ however, sincerely from me, learning movie maker is worth.
4. Compare and contrast
Comparing and contrasting of two products is important in our life. Here are what have I done in class;
Contrast:
~netball played in a small size court while soccer played in a large scale field.
~netball only played by women but soccer can be played by both men and women
~both have different goalpost.
~netball points counted in different ways as soccer counted due to the numbers of ball scored into the goalpost.
comparing:
~both using round in shape ball
~player have to shoot to goalpost for scoring marks
~wearing team jerseys and played in team
~have time-outs and penalty
...and much more...
that's all for today.
thank you very much!

hi everyone...
ReplyDeletei'm rosila,.section P12..
First comment:
speedtalk-the effectiveness about this activity.
For me, speedtalk is one of ways to improve our language and communication. From that activity, we get more confident to talk any idea that we have without care our pronoun and we must think faster to answer our friend’s question. We also get some knowledge about current issue that they asked.
Hye...
ReplyDelete1. Speed talk activity..I think this activity can make me become brave stand up in front the audience. This activity we do with pair. One person must be asking and one person must be answer. So we must communicate between us. This activity also can improve our pronunciations and our spontaneous speaking skill especially in English language. It does also can improve my English language because I’m very bad in English.
2. Car is one of the transports that help us to go from one place to another place. In the future, I would like to choose the semi auto car because this car has many advantages. Some of the advantages are easy to handle, perfect safety and etc.
3. Making the movie maker is the first project that we must do in the first semester. Firstly choose one product which relate with then and now. I think it’s not difficult to do movie maker because we just import the pictures, video, audio and with the suitable music. But we must make that movie very interesting so that it can attract the audience. If not, the audience will be bored with our movie. This project makes me become a more creative thinking.
4. For compare and contrast, I choose soccer ball and basket ball.
The similarities:
-both games use one ball to play.
-both games have rule
-both games play using the time quarters.
-both games have centre and defends
The contrast:
-Only boys or man playing the soccer/popular among the man.
- Both genders can play the basketball.
-The basketball games played with hand while the soccer played with feet.
-The ball is kick into the net for the soccer while for basketball games the ball throws into the net.

ReplyDeletehi everyone....
ReplyDeleteas we know at this time have many design of cars, but in the future have many creative and unique design of cars we can see. for example we can see many people drive the fly car. besides that, car also can drive withuot petrol oil but just use solar energy.
so, i think for future car will be have the power and also can make people very easy to go anywhere at anytime...

1)Activity -speedtalk-
First of all , what i need to say..I enjoy with this activity
its make me, think faster, and train my English language skills. Sometimes make me "blur",..because the time is running out.hahaha..
So nice because teach our brain works quickly and logically as the individually
2) manual vs semi auto car? of the future.
Both cars have their own advantages.So it is depend on the person either to use which one. However for me,
the semi auto car is more relevent creteria car in the future.its more advande, safety , modern , relax and easier to drive especially in city area. Besides that, the technology that have support which just need to drive whitout play whith their cluth can reduces stress when faces with traffic jame.
3)expereince in doing the movie maker.
first time i heard about movie maker...i'm blur..it that mean i must acting for this assigment? 1 don't know.!But..it not long times. then...the trouble come again;when making the movie maker.
im stress, when the files important missing and suddenly my note book was hang.Also im take...too long time to matching with sound, song, slide, picture without disregard setup timing.
perrggh..it so complicated task but..it is a good experience and knowlegde for me.thank you..sir Suriyakumar.
4)compare and contrast.
for this topic , i choose soccer n basketball
i.Contrast:
-play with ball
-have thier own jersey
-both are popular spectator sport
-play using timed'quarted'
ii.compare:
soccer-play with feet,ball kicked into net,a goalie defends the net,"dribbling" mean kicking,famous as a mensport.
basketball-played with hands,ball is thrown into the net,a guard defends the net,"dribbling" mean bouncing.Famous as a womensport.
hi everyone..
ReplyDeletei want to share with you'll about speed talk..
for me this activity is very good for everyone which is they can improve their English language and at the same time it can teach everyone how to speak as fast as we can..
although sometimes what we speak not correct but in that time also we can correct it what we don't know before this..
so in this activity also i can get more knowledge to improve my English
Hello,
ReplyDelete1- My first class activity is Speedtalk where we need to answer the question that my partner pointed out to me. During this activity, I was able to answer the question very fast. This is one of the activity that very effective and can improve my speaking skills. I really enjoyed during this activity.
2- In my opinion, semi-auto car is better than manual car. Semi-auto car is more easy to handle compared to manual car. Even though we are caught in a jam, using an semi-auto car can help us drive smoothly. In future, sure everyone will have their own car and this might cause terrible traffic jam. So by using semi-auto car, I can handle all this problem easily.
3- My movie maker theme is NOW & THEN. The product I choosed is Radio and Mp3. While conducting this project, I was able to compare and contrast the product that i choosed. I was very patient when I was doing this project and I learned to be more creative to make my movie maker interesting and different. Although its took long time for me to finish the movie maker, but im very satisfied with what i did.

I think this activity are so interesting and also can make me become brave stand up in front the audience. This activity are conducted as below:We supposed to do this activities in pairs.One person must be asking and one person must be answer.Its done repeated until the last person.So we must communicate between each others. This activity is seems great to improve and practise our pronunciations and our spontaneous speaking skill especially in English language.Other than that, we also can build a relationship between our classmate.
2. In my opinion,manual car is better than Semi-auto car.Manual car is more easy to handle compared to the Semi-auto car.If we make a survey, women usually prefer to drive Semi-auto car compared to manual.This is because, Semi auto car are more easily to conducted.
But on my side, I prefer to drive manual car because it look likes more elegant and gentlemen .But nowadays, people are more like to drive Semi auto cars, because its more relax. But for me, both of the cars are the same,, because every people have their own decision and opinion..So,both of the cars are being choosen in the future, depends on people...
3. The first project that we must do in the first semester is making the movie maker. Its is done by a group. 1 group contain 2 members.
Firstly choose one product which relate with the theme NOW AND THEN.Its is quit dificult to do this project because it is the first time we did it by using the movie maker.But its okay because we just import the pictures, video, audio and with the suitable music. The best part that make our movie differ from other group is we must make that movie very interesting so that it can attract the audience.This project makes us become more creative and high thinking level.
4. For the compare and contrase part,I choose games.
For compare:
1. Both of the soccer and basket ball use balls to play just differ in sive and types of the ball.

3. They are played on a rectangular field.
4. The 2 games are popular spectator sports.
5. Both games have center and defends
6. Both games have the rule.
7. Both games are the most popular games in the Sea games or World games.
For Contrast:
1. The soccer games are played with feet,while basketball played with hands.
2. For soccer,the ball is kick into net,but for basketball,the ball is thrown into a net.
3. For soccer,it use big field to play than basketball.
4. "Dribbling" means kicking for soccer,while bouncing for basketball.
5. The time up for soccer games is long time than basketball.

ReplyDelete1)CABLE CAR..
A cable car is any of a variety of transportation systems relying on cables to pull vehicles along or lower them at a steady rate, or a vehicle on these systems.
Varieties in which the vehicle is suspended from a cable:
* An aerial tramway consists of a cabin suspended from a cable, pulled by another cable.
* A gondola lift consists of a loop of cable that is strung between two or more stations, usually over intermediate supporting towers, from which cars are suspended.
* A ropeway conveyor is a subtype of gondola lift, from which containers for goods rather than passenger cars are suspended.
* In an aerial lift transport, gondolas or open chairs are hauled above the ground by means of a cable.
Varieties in which the vehicle rests on rails or a road:
* A street railway system uses a cable under the road to pull the cars along.
* A funicular consists of a pair of railway cars that alternately ascend and descend an inclined right-of-way, attached to a common cable.
* A cable railway uses a cable or rope to haul trains.

ReplyDelete2)WASHING MACHINE
A washing machine, or washer, is a machine designed to clean laundry, such as clothing, towels and sheets. The term is mostly applied only to machines that use water as the primary cleaning solution, as opposed to dry cleaning (which uses alternative cleaning fluids, and is performed by specialist businesses) or even ultrasonic cleaners.
All washer machines work by using mechanical energy, thermal energy, and chemical action. Mechanical energy is imparted to the clothes load by the rotation of the agitator in top loaders, or by the tumbling action of the drum in front loaders. Thermal energy is supplied by the temperature of the wash bath.
Washing machine technology was developed as a way to reduce the drudgery of this scrubbing and rubbing process, by providing an open basin or sealed container with paddles or fingers to automatically agitate the clothing. The earliest machines were often hand-operated but were built with the belief that the machine itself was faster and easier to operate than washing the clothing by hand directly. As electricity was not commonly available until at least 1930, these early machines were often operated by a low-speed single-cylinder hit and miss gasoline engine.
Because water usually had to be heated on a fire for washing, the warm soapy water was precious and would be reused over and over, first to wash the least soiled clothing, then to wash progressively dirtier clothing. The load of soaking wet clothing would be removed, and another load of dirty clothes added to the machine. While the earliest machines were constructed entirely from wood, later machines made of metal permitted a fire to burn below the washtub, to keep the water warm throughout the day's washing.

ReplyDelete3)BASKET BALL
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five active players each try to score points against one another by propelling a ball through a 10 feet (3 m) high hoop (the goal) under organized rules. Basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world.
Points are scored by shooting the ball through the basket above; the team with more points at the end of the game wins. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it (dribbling) or passing it between teammates. Disruptive physical contact (foul) is not permitted and there are restrictions on how the ball can be handled (violations).
Through time, basketball has developed to involve common techniques of shooting, passing and dribbling, as well as players' positions, and offensive and defensive structures. Typically, the tallest members of a team will play center or one of two forward positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed, play the guard positions. While competitive basketball is carefully regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play. In some countries, basketball is also a popular spectator sport.
While competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport, played on a basketball court, less regulated variations have become exceedingly popular as an outdoor sport among both inner city and rural groups.
By the 1950s, basketball had become a major college sport, thus paving the way for a growth of interest in professional basketball. In 1959, a basketball hall of fame was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts, site of the first game. Its rosters include the names of great players, coaches, referees and people who have contributed significantly to the development of the game.
Basketball was originally played with a soccer ball. The first balls made specifically for basketball were brown, and it was only in the late 1950s that Tony Hinkle, searching for a ball that would be more visible to players and spectators alike, introduced the orange ball that is now in common use. Dribbling was not part of the original game except for the "bounce pass" to teammates. Passing the ball was the primary means of ball movement. Dribbling was eventually introduced but limited by the asymmetric shape of early balls. Dribbling only became a major part of the game around the 1950s, as manufacturing improved the ball shape.
Women's basketball began in 1892 at Smith College when Senda Berenson, a physical education teacher, modified Naismith's rules for women. Shortly after she was hired at Smith, she went to Naismith to learn more about the game. Fascinated by the new sport and the values it could teach, she organized the first women’s collegiate basketball game on March 21, 1893, when her Smith freshmen and sophomores played against one another. Her rules were first published in 1899 and two years later Berenson became the editor of A.G. Spalding’s first Women's Basketball Guide, which further spread her version of basketball for women.

Mirrors are manufactured by applying a reflective coating to a suitable substrate. The most common such substrate is glass, due to its ease of fabrication, its rigidity, and its ability to take a smooth finish. The reflective coating ("silver") is typically applied to the back surface of the glass, so that it is protected from corrosion and accidental damage. (Glass is much more scratch-resistant than most substrates.)
Historically, mirrors in the classical antiquity were made of solid metal (bronze, later silver) and they were too expensive for widespread use as well as being prone to corrosion. Due to polished metal's low emissivity, antique mirrors also gave a darker picture compared to modern ones, making them unsuitable for indoor use with artificial lighting (candles or lanterns at the time).
The method of making mirrors out of ordinary glass was discovered by 16th-century Venetian glassmakers on the island of Murano, who covered the backside of plate glass with mercury, obtaining near-perfect reflection and imaging qualities. For over one hundred years Venetian mirrors installed in richly decorated frames served as luxury decoration for palaces throughout Europe, but the secret of mercury process eventually arrived to London and Paris during the 17th century, due to industrial espionage. French workshops succeeded in large scale industrialization of the process, eventually making mirrors affordable to the masses, although mercury's toxicity remained a problem.
In modern times the mirror substrate is shaped, polished and cleaned, and is then coated. Glass mirrors are most often coated with non-toxic silver or aluminium, implemented by a series of coatings:
1. tin
2. silver
3. chemical activator
4. copper
5. paint
The tin is applied because silver will not bond with the glass. The activator causes the tin/silver to harden. Copper is added for long-term durability.The paint protects the coating on the back of the mirror from scratches and other accidental damage.
In some applications, generally those that are cost-sensitive or that require great durability, mirrors are instead made from a single, bulk material such as polished metal.
For technical applications such as laser mirrors, the reflective coating is typically applied by vacuum deposition on the front surface of the substrate. This eliminates double reflections and reduces absorption of light in the mirror. Cheaper technical mirrors use a silver, aluminium, or gold coating (the latter typically for infrared mirrors), and achieve reflectivities of 90–95% when new. A protective overcoat may be applied to prevent oxidation of the reflective layer. Applications requiring higher reflectivity or greater durability use dielectric coatings, which can achieve reflectivities as high as 99.999% over a narrow range of wavelengths

ReplyDelete5)LIP GLOSS
Lip gloss is a cosmetic product used primarily to give lips a mildly glossy lustre and sometimes subtle color. It is distributed as a liquid or a soft solid (not to be confused with lip balm, which generally has medicinal purposes). It can be completely clear, translucent, or various shades of opacity, including frosted, glittered, and metallic looks.
The first commercially available lip gloss was Max Factor's X-Rated, launched in 1932. The original formula was sold up until 2003, when Procter and Gamble retired the product.
Lip gloss in a tube and wand applicator format
Like lipstick, lip gloss comes in a variety of forms and may be applied in different ways. It can be contained in a small cylindrical bottle and applied with a rounded or sloped applicator wand (known as a deerfoot applicator), be applied with a built in lip brush, or a small tube designed for application with the fingertip. Solid glosses come in boxes and tubes, sometimes blurring the distinction between lip gloss and lip balm.
New types of lip gloss contain plumpers which make the lip appear fatter. These are a cheap, easy, and harmless alternatives to collagen, Restylane, Juvederm, and/or fat injections, but are often not as effective. The effects are temporary and short-lasting.
Lip gloss is usually used as a cosmetic, however, some offer moisturizing benefits or protection from the elements and other natural causes. Lip gloss containing sunscreen was first advertised by actress Lillian Gish.[citation needed]. Bonne Bell introduced the first flavored lip gloss, Lip Smackers, in 1973. BORBA cosmecuticals and Tarte cosmetics were the first to introduce nutraceutical lip gloss to the market in 2005 providing antioxidents benefits to nourish lips as a nutritional supplement. Natural makeup companies have made progress in creating lip gloss with mainly natural ingredients except for preservatives.
Lip gloss is often used when a person wants to have some color on her lips, but does not want an intense, solid lip color effect (i.e. a more "made-up" look), as lipstick would create. Lip gloss is also often used as a sort of introduction to makeup. It's often used by preteen and young teenage girls who want to wear some makeup, but who think (and/or whose mothers think) that they're a bit too young to wear a more intense lipstick color.
Overall presentation is a chief part of the marketing and selling of lip gloss. Different packaging is designed for different age groups. A packaging with bright colors and illustrations would be suited for younger customers, whereas medical lip gloss is presented in a simple manner and would be more popular with those of teenagers and adults.
Lip gloss is sometimes used with lipstick to create different effects. A clear, simple lip gloss (i.e. one with no color, metallic effect or glitter) may be worn over a non-frosty (i.e. a "creme") lipstick to make it shiny (e.g. '50's actress Marilyn Monroe used to do this). Some women also mix clear lip gloss with any lipstick color to make colored lip glosses. In this case, a bit of lipstick is applied to the lips with a lip brush, and the clear gloss is applied on top of the lipstick. Finally, a lipstick is sometimes used to give more definition to lips that are made up with lip gloss. In this case, the lip gloss is applied, and a lipstick of a similar (but slightly darker) shade is applied (with a lip brush) to line the lips, as a lip pencil would. In this case, it is considered more attractive if the line is thin and soft, and the shape of the lips is changed slightly, or not changed at all.
It is also possible to create types of lip gloss in the home. This can be done using a variety of ingredients of different qualities or costs, depending on the desired results.

ReplyDelete6)LOVE
Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. The word love is both a verb and a noun. Love is not a single feeling but an emotion built from two or more feelings. Anything vital to us creates more than one feeling, and we also have feelings about our feelings (and thoughts about our feelings). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
The English word "love" can have a variety of related but distinct meanings in different contexts. Often, other languages use multiple words to express some of the different concepts that English relies mainly on "love" to encapsulate; one example is the plurality of Greek words for "love." Cultural differences in conceptualizing love thus make it doubly difficult to establish any universal definition.
Although the nature or essence of love is a subject of frequent debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't love. As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more emotionally intimate form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, although other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.
When discussed in the abstract, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience felt by a person for another person. Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself (cf. narcissism).
In addition to cross-cultural differences in understanding love, ideas about love have also changed greatly over time. Some historians date modern conceptions of romantic love to courtly Europe during or after the Middle Ages, although the prior existence of romantic attachments is attested by ancient love poetry.
Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All you need is love." Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value," as opposed to relative value. Theologian Thomas Jay Oord said that to love is to "act intentionally, in sympathetic response to others, to promote overall well-being." Philosopher Gottfried Leibniz said that love is "to be delighted by the happiness of another."

Indoor bins are traditionally kept in the kitchen to dispose of culinary excess such as fruit peelings or bottles, although there are also wastepaper baskets or wastebaskets which are used in offices to dispose of waste paper and other office refuse. Sometimes a bin can simply be referred to as "the garbage" or "the trash", in an example of a question, such as when one might ask "Where's the bin?" in an unfamiliar kitchen.
A wheelie bin in Berkshire, England
Most bins have heavy lids on the top to seal in the odor that garbage tends to emit. Though most have to be opened manually, indoor bins sometimes have pedals which open the lid when stomped on. Many bins are now water tight and need to be checked to stop leaking.
Indoor bins are traditionally lined with bin bags, which keeps the bin itself clean, facilitates the removal of the garbage and allows disposal with minimal contact to the contents. A common practice is to place multiple bags in each bin once a day so that one can empty the container by removing the bag and not have to replace it, speeding up the process.
Rubbish is usually kept in these receptacles until full, at which point they are transferred via the aforementioned bin bags to an outside receptacle such as a dumpster, or simply to the roadside.
Certain public areas such as parks have litter bins which are placed alongside paths frequently walked by visitors. This encourages people to avoid littering, which creates an unhealthy and aesthetically unpleasant social environment.
Bins in outdoor locations or other busy public areas are usually mounted to the ground or wall. This discourages theft, and also reduces vandalism by making it harder for someone to physically move or maneuver the bins; to spill their contents on the ground for example, or to use the bin as an effective weapon to hit people over the back with.
Since the 1995 terror bombings in France, public trashcans have largely been replaced by transparent plastic bags, in which it is difficult to hide a bomb.
In the past terrorists have left improvised explosive devices in bins. The bomb is much less likely to be spotted than an unattended bag and the metal bins provide extra shrapnel that injures people nearby when it detonates. For this reason there are no bins in most railway stations, most airports, and many shopping centres in the United Kingdom, or if they are provided they are just a bin bag hanging from a metal loop.
A Danish design company called Peoples ApS, have in cooperation with Swedish based Dynasafe AB, developed a "bombproof" bin suitable for public places. The bins were successfully tested at Saab Bofors test center, an independent third party, using the maximum amount of explosives specified for the particular design.
Apartment buildings often have two Dust flumes in which residents can dispose of their trash. These chutes usually lead to some large receptacle or complex in the basement.

ReplyDelete8)BREAD
Bread is a staple food prepared by baking a dough of flour and water. It may be leavened or unleavened. Salt, fat and a leavening agent such as yeast are common ingredients, though bread may contain a range of other ingredients: milk, egg, sugar, spice, fruit (such as raisins), vegetables (such as onion), nuts (such as walnuts) or seeds (such as poppy seeds). Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods, dating back to the Neolithic era. The development of leavened bread can probably also be traced to prehistoric times.
Fresh bread is prized for its taste, aroma, quality and texture. Retaining its freshness is important to keep it appetizing. Bread that has stiffened or dried past its prime is said to be stale. Modern bread is sometimes wrapped in paper or plastic film, or stored in an airtight container such as a breadbox to keep it fresh longer. Bread that is kept in warm, moist environments is prone to the growth of mold. Bread kept at low temperatures, for example, in a refrigerator, will develop mold growth more slowly than bread kept at room temperature. However, unwrapped bread kept in a typical household refrigerator will turn stale quickly due to the low humidity of the air.
The inner, soft part of bread is known to bakers and other culinary professionals as the crumb, which is not to be confused with small bits of bread that often fall off, called crumbs. The outer hard portion of bread is called the crust.
Bread can be served at any temperature. Once baked, it can subsequently be toasted. It is most commonly eaten with the hands, or sometimes with a knife and fork. It can be eaten by itself or as a carrier for another, usually less compact food. Bread may be dipped into a liquid (such as gravy, olive oil, or sardine pâté), topped with various spreads, both sweet and savory, or serve as the enclosure for the ubiquitous sandwich with any number of varieties of meat, cheese, vegetables or condiments inside.
Bread is a popular food in the West and most other societies. East Asian societies typically prefer wheat noodles, steamed bread, or rice. Bread is often made from a wheat-flour dough that is cultured with yeast, allowed to rise, and finally baked in an oval. Owing to its high levels of gluten (which give the dough sponginess and elasticity), common wheat (also known as bread wheat) is the most common grain used for the preparation of bread, but bread is also made from the flour of other wheat species (including durum, spelt and emmer), rye, barley, maize (or corn), and oats, usually, but not always, in combination with wheat flour. Although common wheat is best suited for making highly-risen white bread, other wheat species are capable of giving good black bread. Spelt bread (Dinkelbrot) continues to be widely consumed in Germany, and emmer bread was a staple food in ancient Egypt. Canadian bread is known for its heartier consistency due to high protein levels in Canadian flour.
* White bread is made from flour containing only the central core of the grain (endosperm).
* Brown bread is made with endosperm and 10% bran. It can also refer to white bread with added colouring (often caramel colouring) to make it 'brown'; commonly labeled in America as "Wheat" bread (as opposed to "Whole Wheat" bread.)
* Wholemeal bread contains the whole of the wheat grain (endosperm and bran). It is also referred to as 'whole grain' or 'whole wheat' bread, especially in North America.
* Wheat germ bread has added wheat germ for flavoring.
* Whole grain bread can refer to the same as 'wholemeal bread', or to white bread with added whole grains to increase its fibre content (i.e. as in "60% whole grain bread").
* Roti is a whole wheat based bread eaten in India. Naan is also a variant of Roti.
* Granary bread is bread made from granary flour. Trademarked to Hovis, it is made from malted white or brown flour, wheat germ and whole grains.
* Rye bread is made with flour from rye grain of variable levels. It is higher in fiber than many common types of bread and is often darker in color and stronger in flavor. In Scandinavia, Germany, Finland, the Baltic States, and Russia, rye is a popular type of bread.

ReplyDelete9)PRINTER
In computing, a printer is a peripheral which produces a hard copy (permanent human-readable text and/or graphics) of documents stored in electronic form, usually on physical print media such as paper or transparencies. Many printers are primarily used as local peripherals, and are attached by a printer cable or, in most newer printers, a USB cable to a computer which serves as a document source. Some printers, commonly known as network printers, have built-in network interfaces (typically wireless or Ethernet), and can serve as a hardcopy device for any user on the network. Individual printers are often designed to support both local and network connected users at the same time.
In addition, a few modern printers can directly interface to electronic media such as memory sticks or memory cards, or to image capture devices such as digital cameras, scanners; some printers are combined with a scanners and/or fax machines in a single unit, and can function as photocopiers. Printers that include non-printing features are sometimes called Multifunction Printers (MFP), Multi-Function Devices (MFD), or All-In-One (AIO) printers. Most MFPs include printing, scanning, and copying among their features. A Virtual printer is a piece of computer software whose user interface and API resemble that of a printer driver, but which is not connected with a physical computer printer.
Printers are designed for low-volume, short-turnaround print jobs; requiring virtually no setup time to achieve a hard copy of a given document. However, printers are generally slow devices (30 pages per minute is considered fast; and many inexpensive consumer printers are far slower than that), and the cost per page is actually relatively high. The printing press remains the machine of choice for high-volume, professional publishing. However, as printers have improved in quality and performance, many jobs which used to be done by professional print shops are now done by users on local printers; see desktop publishing. The world's first computer printer was a 19th century mechanically driven apparatus invented by Charles Babbage for his Difference Engine.
Printers are routinely classified by the underlying print technology they employ; numerous such technologies have been developed over the years. The choice of print engine has a substantial effect on what jobs a printer is suitable for, as different technologies are capable of different levels of image/text quality, print speed, low cost, noise; in addition, some technologies are inappropriate for certain types of physical media (such as carbon paper or transparencies).
Another aspect of printer technology that is often forgotten is resistance to alteration: liquid ink such as from an inkjet head or fabric ribbon becomes absorbed by the paper fibers, so documents printed with a liquid ink sublimation printer are more difficult to alter than documents printed with toner or solid inks, which do not penetrate below the paper surface.
Checks should either be printed with liquid ink or on special "check paper with toner anchorage".For similar reasons carbon film ribbons for IBM Selectric typewriters bore labels warning against using them to type negotiable instruments such as checks. The machine-readable lower portion of a check, however, must be printed using MICR toner or ink. Banks and other clearing houses employ automation equipment that relies on the magnetic flux from these specially printed characters to function properly.

ReplyDelete10)CALCULATOR
A calculator is a device for performing mathematical calculations, distinguished from a computer by having a limited problem solving ability and an interface optimized for interactive calculation rather than programming. Calculators can be hardware or software, and mechanical or electronic, and are often built into devices such as PDAs or mobile phones.
A basic calculator
An old mechanical calculator.
A scientific calculator.
Modern electronic calculators are generally small, digital, (often pocket-sized) and usually inexpensive. In addition to general purpose calculators, there are those designed for specific markets; for example, there are scientific calculators which focus on advanced math like trigonometry and statistics, or even have the ability to do computer algebra. Also graphing calculators can be used to graph equations. Modern calculators are more portable than most computers, though most PDAs are comparable in size to handheld calculators.
In the past, mechanical clerical aids such as abaci, comptometers, Napier's bones, books of mathematical tables, slide rules, or mechanical adding machines were used for numeric work. This semi-manual process of calculation was tedious and error-prone.
Modern calculators are electrically powered (usually by battery and/or solar cell) and vary from cheap, give-away, credit-card sized models to sturdy adding machine-like models with built-in printers. They first became popular in the late 1960s as decreasing size and cost of electronics made possible devices for calculations, avoiding the use of scarce and expensive computer resources. By the 1980s, calculator prices had reduced to a point where a basic calculator was affordable to most. By the 1990s they had become common in math classes in schools, with the idea that students could be freed from basic calculations and focus on the concepts.
Computer operating systems as far back as early Unix have included interactive calculator programs such as dc and hoc, and calculator functions are included in almost all PDA-type devices (save a few dedicated address book and dictionary devices).

ReplyDelete11)TUN MAHATHIR
Tun Dr.Mahathir bin Mohamad was born December 20, 1925) was the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia. He held the post for 22 years from 1981 to 2003, making him Malaysia's longest-serving Prime Minister, and one of the longest-serving leaders in Asia.During his term in office, he was credited for engineering Malaysia's rapid modernization.Mahathir is also known for his criticisms of western and developed countries.
During his administration, he was considered to be one of Asia's most influential leaders. Mahathir is also noted in the Western world as an outspoken critic of Western-style globalization.
In the third general election of 1964, Mahathir was elected Member of Parliament for Kota Setar Selatan defeating the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party's (PAS) candidate with a 60.2% majority. He lost the seat in the following general election in 1969 by a mere 989 votes to PAS's candidate, Haji Yusoff Rawa.
Following the race riots of 13 May 1969, Mahathir was sacked from the UMNO Supreme Council on 12 July, following his widespread distribution to the public of his letter to Tunku Abdul Rahman, the Prime Minister at that time. In his letter, he had criticised the manner in which Tunku Abdul Rahman had handled the country's administration which was believed to favour the ethnic Chinese. Mahathir was subsequently relieved of his party membership on 26 September.
While in the political wilderness, Mahathir wrote his book, "The Malay Dilemma" in which he sought to explain the causes of the 13 May Incident in Kuala Lumpur and the reasons for the Malays' lack of economic progress within their own country. He then proposed a politico-economic solution in the form of "constructive protection", worked out after careful consideration of the effects of heredity and environmental factors on the Malay race. The book, published in 1970, was promptly banned by the Tunku Abdul Rahman government. However, some of the proposals in this book had been used by Tun Abdul Razak, Tunku Abdul Rahman's successor, in his "New Economic Policy" (NEP) that was principally geared towards affirmative action economic programs to address the nation's economic disparity between the Malays and the non-Malays. The ban on his book was eventually lifted after Mahathir became Prime Minister in 1981.[
Mahathir rejoined UMNO on 7 March 1972, and was appointed as Senator in 1973. He relinquished the senatorship post in 1974 in order to contest in the general elections where he was returned unopposed in the constituency of Kubang Pasu, and was appointed as the Minister of Education. In 1975, he became one of the three vice-presidents of UMNO, after winning the seat by 47 votes. Tun Hussein Onn appointed Mahathir as Deputy Prime Minister on 15 September 1978, and in a Cabinet reshuffle, appointed him concurrently as the Minister of Trade and Industry.
Mahathir has announced that he has resigned from UMNO, the backbone of the ruling party, the Barisan National on 19 May 2008 which coincides with the Wesak Day celebration.

ReplyDelete12)MINERAL WATER
Mineral water is water containing minerals or other dissolved substances that alter its taste or give it therapeutic value. Salts, sulfur compounds, and gases are among the substances that can be dissolved in the water. Mineral water can often be effervescent. Mineral water can be prepared or can occur naturally. In many places, mineral water is often colloquially used to mean carbonated water, which is usually carbonated mineral water, as opposed to tap water.
Traditionally mineral waters would be used or consumed at their source, often referred to as taking the waters or taking the cure, and such sites were referred to as spas, baths or wells. Spa would be used when the water was consumed and bathed in, bath when the water was not generally consumed, and well when the water was not generally bathed in. Often an active tourist centre would grow up around a mineral water site (even in ancient times; see Bath). Such tourist development resulted in spa towns and hydropathic hotels (often shortened to Hydros).
In modern times, it is far more common for mineral waters to be bottled at source for distributed consumption. Travelling to the mineral water site for direct access to the water is now uncommon, and in many cases not possible (because of exclusive commercial ownership rights). There are over 3000 brands of mineral water commercially available worldwide.
The U.S. FDA classifies mineral water as water containing at least 250 parts per million total dissolved solids (TDS), and is also water coming from a source tapped at one or more bore holes or spring, originating from a geologically and physically protected underground water source. No minerals may be added to this water.
The more minerals in drinking water, the harder it is said to be; water with few minerals is described as being soft.

ReplyDelete13)KEYSTONE
A keystone is the architectural piece at the crown of a vault or arch which marks its apex, locking the other pieces into position.This makes a keystone very important structurally. In an arch, the keystone is usually larger than the voussoirs that make up the arch and may serve primarily an aesthetic purpose. Some say that a keystone is not as important structurally as the voussoirs, since the removal of any of the voussoirs would cause the arch to collapse but this is not necessarily true of the keystone.
Old keystones, crucial in medieval buildings, can decay due to vibration, a condition known as bald arch.
In a vault, keystones may mark the intersections of tracery.
Mannerist architects of the 16th century enjoyed building an arch with a slightly dropped keystone as seen below in example at Colditz Castle.
The term is used figuratively to refer to the central supporting element of a larger structure, such as a theory or an organization, without which the whole structure would collapse. Example: Language is the fractured keystone of arts and libertarian ideals. Go west, young Hero.
The U.S. state of Pennsylvania is called the "Keystone State" because of its central location and commercial and political importance among the 13 colonies. The notched keystone shape is sometimes used as a logo for the state. From this, the keystone shape became the logo of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), Little League Baseball (founded in Williamsport), and of Heinz Ketchup (headquartered in Pittsburgh). The PRR's passenger and mixed traffic locomotives had keystone numberplates. The keystone shape is also used on Pennsylvania's state route markers.

ReplyDelete14)DURIAN
The durian is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family (although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae. Widely-known and revered in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending on the species.
The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia.
The durian, native to Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, has been known to the Western world for about 600 years. The 19th-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace famously described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds". The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet edibles in Southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.
There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit. Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions. There are hundreds of durian cultivars; many consumers express preferences for specific cultivars, which fetch higher prices in the market.
The durian is commonly known as the "King of the Fruits", a label that can be attributed to its formidable look and overpowering odour. In its native southeastern Asia, the durian is an everyday food and portrayed in the local media in accordance with the cultural perception it has in the region. The durian symbolised the subjective nature of ugliness and beauty in Hong Kong director Fruit Chan's 2000 film Durian Durian, and was a nickname for the reckless but lovable protagonist of the eponymous Singaporean TV comedy Durian King played by Adrian Pang. Likewise, the oddly shaped Esplanade building in Singapore is often called "The Durian" by locals,[55] and "The Big Durian" is the nickname of Jakarta, Indonesia.
One of the names Thailand contributed to the list of storm names for Western North Pacific tropical cyclones was 'Durian', which was retired after the second storm of this name in 2006. Being a fruit much loved by a variety of wild beasts, the durian sometimes signifies the long-forgotten animalistic aspect of humans, as in the legend of Orang Mawas, the Malaysian version of Bigfoot, and Orang Pendek, its Sumatran version, both of which have been claimed to feast on durians.

ReplyDelete15)RUBBER
Natural rubber is an elastomer—an elastic hydrocarbon polymer—that was originally derived from a milky colloidal suspension, or latex, found in the sap of some plants. The purified form of natural rubber is the chemical polyisoprene which can also be produced synthetically. Natural rubber is used extensively in many applications and products as is synthetic rubber. The entropy model of rubber was developed in 1934 by Werner Kuhn.
The major commercial source of natural rubber latex is the Para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), a member of the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. This is largely because it responds to wounding by producing more latex.
Other plants containing latex include Gutta-Percha (Palaquium gutta),rubber fig (Ficus elastica), Panama rubber tree (Castilla elastica), spurges (Euphorbia spp.), lettuce, common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), Russian dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz), Scorzonera tau-saghyz, and Guayule (Parthenium argentatum). Although these have not been major sources of rubber, Germany attempted to use some of these during World War II when it was cut off from rubber supplies[citation needed]. These attempts were later supplanted by the development of synthetic rubbers. To distinguish the tree-obtained version of natural rubber from the synthetic version, the term gum rubber is sometimes used.
Rubber exhibits unique physical and chemical properties. Rubber's stress-strain behavior exhibits the Mullins effect, the Payne effect and is often modeled as hyperelastic. Rubber strain crystallizes.
Owing to the presence of a double bond in each and every repeat unit, natural rubber is sensitive to ozone cracking.

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function. While famous for aesthetic surgery, plastic surgery also includes a variety of fields such as craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, burn surgery, microsurgery, and reconstructive surgery. The word "plastic" derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mold or to shape; its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic.
Cosmetic Surgery defined as a subspecialty of surgery that uniquely restricts itself to the enhancement of appearance through surgical and medical techniques. It is specifically concerned with maintaining normal appearance, restoring it, or enhancing it beyond the average level toward some aesthetic ideal. In 2006, nearly 11 million cosmetic surgeries were performed in the United States alone.
The number of cosmetic surgeries performed in the United States has increased over 50 percent since the start of the century. Nearly 12 million cosmetic surgeries were performed in 2007, with the five most common being breast augmentation, liposuction, nasal surgery, eyelid surgery and abdominoplasty. The increased use of cosmetic surgery crosses racial and ethnic lines in the U.S., with increases seen among African-Americans and Hispanic Americans as well as Caucasian Americans. In Europe, the second largest market for cosmetic procedures, cosmetic surgery is a $2.2 billion business.
In plastic surgery the transfer of skin tissue (skin grafting) is one of the most common procedures. (In traditional surgery a "graft" is a piece of living tissue, organ, etc., that is transplanted.
* Autografts: Skin grafts taken from the recipient. If absent or deficient of natural tissue, alternatives can be:
o Cultured Sheets of epithelial cells in vitro.
o Synthetic compounds (e.g., Integra—a 2 layered dermal substitute consisting superficially of silicone and deeply of bovine tendon collagen with glycosaminoglycans).
* Allografts: Skin grafts taken from a donor of the same species.
* Xenografts: Skin grafts taken from a donor of a different species.
Usually, good results are expected from plastic surgery that emphasizes:
* Careful planning of incisions so that they fall in the line of natural skin folds or lines.
* Appropriate choice of wound closure.
* Use of best available suture materials.
* Early removal of exposed sutures so that the wound is held closed by buried sutures.

ReplyDelete17)ELECTRON
The electron is a subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. It has no known substructure and is believed to be a point particle. Electrons participate in gravitational, electromagnetic and weak interactions. Like its rest mass and elementary charge, the intrinsic angular momentum (or spin) of an electron has a constant value. In the collision of an electron and a positron, the electron's antiparticle, both are annihilated. An electron–positron pair can be produced from gamma ray photons with sufficient energy.
The concept of an indivisible amount of electrical charge was theorized to explain the chemical properties of atoms, beginning in 1838 by British natural philosopher Richard Laming; the name electron was introduced for this charge in 1894 by Irish physicist George Johnstone Stoney. The electron was identified as a particle in 1897 by J. J. Thomson and his team of British physicists.Electrons are identical particles that belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family. Electrons have quantum mechanical properties of both a particle and a wave, so they can collide with other particles and be diffracted like light. Each electron occupies a quantum state that describes its random behavior upon measuring a physical parameter, such as its energy or spin orientation. Because they are a type of fermion, no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state; a property known as the Pauli exclusion principle.
In many physical phenomena, such as electricity, magnetism, and thermal conductivity, electrons play an essential role. An electron generates a magnetic field while moving, and it is deflected by external magnetic fields. When an electron is accelerated, it can absorb or radiate energy in the form of photons. Electrons, together with atomic nuclei made of protons and neutrons, make up atoms. However, electrons contribute less than 0.06% to an atom's total mass. The attractive Coulomb force between an electron and a proton causes electrons to be bound into atoms. The exchange, sharing or interaction of the electrons in two or more atoms is the main cause of chemical bonding.
Electrons were created by the big bang, and they can be annihilated during stellar nucleosynthesis. Electrons are produced by Hawking radiation at the event horizon of a black hole and by cosmic rays entering the atmosphere. Radioactive isotopes can release an electron from an atomic nucleus as a result of negative beta decay. Laboratory instruments are capable of containing and observing individual electrons, while telescopes can detect electron plasma by its energy emission. Electron plasma has multiple applications, including welding, cathode ray tubes, electron microscopes, radiation therapy, lasers and particle accelerators.

A bottle is a container with a neck that is narrower than the body and a "mouth." Bottles are often made of glass, clay, plastic, aluminum or other impervious materials, and typically used to store liquids such as water, milk, soft drinks, beer, wine, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, ink and chemicals. A device applied in the bottling line to seal the mouth of a bottle is termed an external bottle cap (closure) , or internal stopper. A bottle can also be sealed by an "innerseal" by using induction sealing.
The bottle has developed a millennia of use, with some of the earliest examples appearing in China, Phoenicia, Rome and Crete. The Chinese used bottles to store liquids.
In modern times for some bottles a legally mandated deposit is paid, which is refunded after returning the bottle to the retailer. For other glass bottles there is often separate garbage collection for recycling.
Since prehistoric times, bottle containers were created from clay or asphaltum sealed woven containers. Early glass bottles were produced by the Phoenicians; specimens of Phoenician translucent and transparent glass bottles have been found in Cyprus and Rhodes generally varying in length from three to six inches.
These Phoenician examples from the first millennium BC were thought to have been used for perfume.
Some jars and bottles have a metal cap or cover called a capsule. They were historically made of lead, and protected the cork from being gnawed away by rodents or infested with cork weevil. Because of research showing that trace amounts of lead could remain on the lip of the bottle(NYT 2aug91), lead capsules (lead foil bottleneck wrappings) were slowly phased out, and by the 1990s(FDA 1992) most capsules were made of aluminum foil or plastic.

ReplyDelete19)RADIO
Radio is the transmission of signals by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space. Information is carried by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves, such as amplitude, frequency, or phase. When radio waves pass an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. This can be detected and transformed into sound or other signals that carry information.
Originally, radio or radiotelegraphy was called "wireless telegraphy", which was shortened to "wireless". The prefix radio- in the sense of wireless transmission, was first recorded in the word radioconductor, coined by the French physicist Édouard Branly in 1897 and based on the verb to radiate (in Latin "radius" means "spoke of a wheel, beam of light, ray"). "Radio" as a noun is said to have been coined by advertising expert Waldo Warren (White 1944). The word appears in a 1907 article by Lee de Forest, was adopted by the United States Navy in 1912 and became common by the time of the first commercial broadcasts in the United States in the 1920s. (The noun "broadcasting" itself came from an agricultural term, meaning "scattering seeds".) The term was then adopted by other languages in Europe and Asia, although British Commonwealth countries continued to use the term "wireless" until the mid-20th century.
In recent years the term "wireless" has gained renewed popularity through the rapid growth of short-range computer networking, e.g., Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), WiFi and Bluetooth, as well as mobile telephony, e.g., GSM and UMTS. Today, the term "radio" often refers to the actual transceiver device or chip, whereas "wireless" refers to the system and/or method used for radio communication, hence one talks about radio transceivers and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), but about wireless devices and wireless sensor networks.
Early uses were maritime, for sending telegraphic messages using Morse code between ships and land. The earliest users included the Japanese Navy scouting the Russian fleet during the Battle of Tsushima in 1905. One of the most memorable uses of marine telegraphy was during the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912, including communications between operators on the sinking ship and nearby vessels, and communications to shore stations listing the survivors.
Radio was used to pass on orders and communications between armies and navies on both sides in World War I; Germany used radio communications for diplomatic messages once it discovered that its submarine cables had been tapped by the British. The United States passed on President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points to Germany via radio during the war. Broadcasting began from San Jose in 1909[5], and became feasible in the 1920s, with the widespread introduction of radio receivers, particularly in Europe and the United States. Besides broadcasting, point-to-point broadcasting, including telephone messages and relays of radio programs, became widespread in the 1920s and 1930s. Another use of radio in the pre-war years was the development of detection and locating of aircraft and ships by the use of radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging).
Today, radio takes many forms, including wireless networks and mobile communications of all types, as well as radio broadcasting. Before the advent of television, commercial radio broadcasts included not only news and music, but dramas, comedies, variety shows, and many other forms of entertainment. Radio was unique among methods of dramatic presentation in that it used only sound. For more, see radio programming.

ReplyDelete20)IRON
Iron is a chemical element with the symbol Fe (Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. Iron is a group 8 and period 4 element. Iron and iron alloys (steels) are by far the most common metals and the most common ferromagnetic materials in everyday use. Fresh iron surfaces are lustrous and silvery-grey in color, but oxidise in air to form a red or brown coating of ferrous oxide or rust. Compared with steel which has a hardness of about 140 Brinell, pure iron is soft, about 80 Brinell.
Iron-56 is the second heaviest stable isotope produced by the alpha process in stellar nucleosynthesis, the heaviest being nickel-62; heavier elements require a supernova for their formation. Iron is the most abundant element in the core of red giants, and is the most abundant metal in iron meteorites and in the dense metal cores of planets such as Earth.
Pure iron is a metal, but is rarely found in this form on the surface of the earth, because it oxidizes readily in the presence of oxygen and moisture. In order to obtain metallic iron, oxygen must be removed from naturally occurring ores by chemical reduction – mainly of the iron ore hematite (Fe2O3) by carbon at high temperature. The properties of iron can be modified by alloying it with various other metals (and some non-metals, notably carbon and silicon) to form steels.
Nuclei of iron atoms have some of the highest binding energies per nucleon, surpassed only by the nickel isotope 62Ni. The universally most abundant of the highly stable nuclides is, however, 56Fe. This is formed by nuclear fusion in stars. Although a further tiny energy gain could be extracted by synthesizing 62Ni, conditions in stars are unsuitable for this process to be favoured. Elemental distribution on Earth greatly favors iron over nickel, and also presumably in supernova element production.
Iron (as Fe2+, ferrous ion) is a necessary trace element used by almost all living organisms. The only exceptions are several organisms that live in iron-poor environments and have evolved to use different elements in their metabolic processes, such as manganese instead of iron for catalysis, or hemocyanin instead of hemoglobin. Iron-containing enzymes, usually containing heme prosthetic groups, participate in catalysis of oxidation reactions in biology, and in transport of a number of soluble gases. See hemoglobin, cytochrome, and catalase.
Iron represents perhaps the best-known example of allotropy in a metal. There are three allotropic forms of iron, known as alpha, gamma, and delta

morning guys.
ReplyDeletefor a long period of time i didn't throw any comments here.
maybe because the disease i had called laziness.
ngeee (:
the speed talk is actually a good activities that build our confidence to talk without any script.
but this activities was done last semester.
so the activities was less excitement.
behind it, we can see that its funny when people are too agressive to answer your questionn due to the limit of time.
but some of my friends still shy to talk and just gave a smile when it comes to their turn.

car of the future?
as a future engineer i would invent a car with a recycle material.
because of our earth begin to full of garbage.
the car should be in semi-auto mode.
that is more easier to drive it and plus minus will decrease the rate of road-accident.
because most people use the manual car to have a race.
even if the semi-auto cars are expensive than manual cars nowadays, but if i were engineer, i will invent the semi-auto cars at lowest price that everyone can afford it.
in addition,the car should be smaller.
because people these days are proud to have more than a car.
without thinking, its actually taking a big space for their garage to park all their cars.
and this "mini" car saves the time for a shopaholic to park their cars when go to the malls.

ReplyDeletejust a simple word that doesn't describe the process doing it at all.
its actually a simple software helping us making a movie or a clip.
i never use it before and that cause me some trouble to use it.
because my movie maker can't be publish for 2 times!
i do it on my own.
the theme chosen for the movie maker is now and then.
1st of all i pick my title and search for the info's about my title chosen through the internet.
and i do ask my friends about the topic related.
then i start to do the timeline.
after that,i got problem to pick the song for the past because it require to be a slow song or maybe jazz.
i don't use to listen this type of song and i have to check on my mp3 song-by-song.
then i got problem to convert the downloaded movie clip to .fla file.
movie maker just gave me a "memorable" experience done it (:

1)speed talk..
For me,this activity is very good for everyone because we can improve our communication skill in English.Besides that,we can give our ideas as soon as the question is asked to us.It is so fun!!
2)car of future..
I prefer to have semi-auto car since it becomes most favourable car among us as the women.Therefore,it is easy to be handled and no need to use much energy.and I think that this type of car will be the most used in the future since we would be more busy in our life.
3)movie maker..
For this activity,my project is about television for now and then.Me and my partner,farah have given our best to complete this music video.We were very satisfied doing this activity..It needed a lot of patience and teamwork to settle down this.Anyway....We enjoyed doing it...yahoo!!
4)compare and contrast
I chose to football and netball.
The similarities are:
- both used round balls
- both are played using timed quarters
- both are played on rectangular field
- both are popular games
- both are played in teams
The differences are:
~netball~
- played with 7 players
- played in only the specific area
- played by hands
- popular among girls only
~football~
- played with 11 players
- can move freely in the field
- played by feet
- popular among boys and girls
WHAT DOES YOUR BODY LANGUAGE SAYS?
ReplyDeleteGoing out on a date and you’re not sure what to say? Let your body do the talking for you but make sure you’re doing it right. You don’t want to be giving out the wrong signals!
Body language is a form of nonverbal communication and it is equally as important as what you wear or the way you speak. They say that actions speak louder than words and if you’re speaking English but your body is speaking gibberish then you might as well stay at home and read a book.
Relaxed Arms.
Keeping your arms relaxed at your side makes you appear open. But don’t stick out your chest cause you’d only be sending out the ‘open for business’ signal. If your arms are crossed, you’ll appear closed off from the people around you and cold. It can seem as if you’re putting up an unconscious barrier between yourself and others.
Hand Gestures.
On top of that, watch your hand gestures. Minimal hand gestures is appropriate but flailing arms will make you look overly enthusiastic while slight fidgeting, keeping your hands in your pocket or playing with your fingernails makes you look nervous.
Smiling.
It is a very natural thing to do. It says that you’re friendly, confident and comfortable. Just remember, over-smiling can make you seem like a weirdo and twisting your mouth when you smile makes you look as if you’re hesitating or holding something back.
Tilted Head.
Tilting your head to the side also makes you seem open and friendly. It shows that you are comfortable enough to let loose. Keeping your head straight makes you look serious so save that for when you really mean business.
Eye Contact.
Eye contact is also very important. If you do it too often, you might seem like you’re in a staring contest with someone but if you don’t maintain eye contact, it only makes you look shy and insincere.
Legs.
There are many unwritten rules about sitting positions but whatever the situation, never sit with your legs open. If you haven’t learnt that by now, it’s time you do. Sitting crossed legged and knee pointing indicates interest. It is a subtle form of flirting.
Sit Up.
Contrary to popular belief, slouching doesn’t indicate comfort. If you’re ‘scooched’ down while sitting, you’ll look unprofessional and uninterested. Also, it is a clear sign of fatigue so if you want to be taken seriously, its best to sit straight.
Are you guilty of any of these body language faux pas? Well, it’s never too late to fix them. Ask your close friends what impression you give out and if you realize that you’re giving out the wrong signals, make a change. Who knows, it might just give you that extra edge on that next date of yours.

.BRAIN FIXES.
ReplyDelete.1++ is better than 1.
Get together with a group of friends and throw out as many ideas as you can. Two (or more) heads are better than one! Don't forget to jot down what has been said so that you can keep track. Be daring and speak your mind! An idea may seem silly to you, but to others it may just be the right now. Brainstorming allows you to come up with more ideas in less time.
.a short pencil is better than a long memory.
When your mum nagged you about writing something down or you'd forget, she wasn't just nagging. Great ideas don't come around twice. Keep a pen and paper ready for brilliant thoughts that may pop up. If you're always on the go, carry a small pocket-sized notepad and pencil in your purse. You never know when a fabulous idea might hit you. Another way of keeping an idea in your head (till you can get to a piece of paper) is to repeat it out loud!
.step away from the table.
Sitting at the table for too long may cause the computer and your brain to 'hang'. Walk around, get a fresh cup of coffee and stretch your legs. Staring too long at the monitor will strain your eyes and sitting too long may cause backaches.
STRESS + PAIN = DEAD BRAIN!
.zZzZzZz.
Perhaps it is the last thing on your mind-to take a nap, but fatigue prevents you from thinking properly. When you don't sleep enough, your mind is unable to create new ideas. No time for an 8-hour long sleep? Then take short power naps, 15-30 minutes gives you a boost of energy. Keep in mind, too much sleep can make you lethargic, which only works against you!
.day dream.
No, you didn't read the tip wrongly. When you daydream your subconscious mind takes over. Unlike your logical mind, your subconscious has the ability to conjure up anything while your logical part of the brain stays in pause mode. This way you don't edit out ideas because they seem nonsensical. Most brilliant ideas (like the airplane) seemed like a joke at first.

ReplyDeleteA game
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players, and is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world.It is a football variant played on a rectangular grass or artificial turf field, with a goal in the centre of each of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by manoeuvring the ball into the opposing goal. In general play, the goalkeepers are the only players allowed to use their hands or arms to propel the ball; the rest of the team usually use their feet to kick the ball into position, occasionally using their torso or head to intercept a ball in midair. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time and/or a penalty shootout, depending on the format of the competition.
The modern game was codified in England following the formation of The Football Association, whose 1863 Laws of the Game created the foundations for the way the sport is played today. Football is governed internationally by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (International Federation of Association Football), commonly known by the acronym FIFA. The most prestigious international football competition is the FIFA World Cup, held every four years. This event, the most widely viewed in the world, boasts an audience twice that of the Summer Olympic Games.

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five active players each try to score points against one another by placing a ball through a 10 feet (3.048 m) high hoop (the goal) under organized rules. Basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world.
Points are scored by throwing (shooting) the ball through the basket above; the team with more points at the end of the game wins. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it (dribbling) or passing it between teammates. Disruptive physical contact (foul) is not permitted and there are restrictions on how the ball can be handled (violations).
Through time, basketball has developed to involve common techniques of shooting, passing and dribbling, as well as players' positions, and offensive and defensive structures. Typically, the tallest members of a team will play center or one of two forward positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed, play the guard positions. While competitive basketball is carefully regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play. In some countries, basketball is also a popular spectator sport.
While competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport, played on a basketball court, less regulated variations have become exceedingly popular as an outdoor sport among both inner city and rural groups.

Sometimes the activity can make me 'blur' because I feel nervous to talk with other people with confident.
2.Talk about the car of the future.
In my opinion,semi auto car and manual car have the advantages and disadvantages.For me,the semi auto car is easy to drive compared to the manual car especially when we faced the traffic jammed.Besides that,the used for the semi auto car suitable for the women because when they faces the traffic jammed or traffic light,they can make up their face to reduces stress without worried about the clutch paddle huhuhuhuhu.But on my side,i prefer to drive manual car because the semi auto car is to expensive rather than manual car.Besides that,the spare part for the semi auto car is too expensive than manual car if the car broken down.Lastly,when we drive the manual car,we can learn to train to became more patient...Think about it...
3.Movie maker...
This was my first time i doing the movie maker,i never learn about it before that.That was my new experience and new thing that i have learn.To make the movie maker,i have learn step by step.I also learn a lot here with my partner friend to complete the movie maker.Even it little bit tired to finish it,i enjoy with it.. :p
4.Comparing and contrasting about the soccer and netball.
similarities;both using ball,must be two teams,have rules,have defend,time quarters and both have jerseys.
Differences;soccer play with feet while netball using hand,soccer played by boy while netball by girl,soccer has 11 players while netball has 7 players,the time of both field and goals are different too.

ReplyDelete1. The effectiveness of the speed talk activity to me are,it make me confident to talk. You can answer whatever they asked. The answer can be very simple but the grammar is important. Besides, it also can improve your speaking and the communication skills.
2. Need to talk what about the future car?!For me, the future car maybe din't use the petrol anymore.So, the car will only use water to function.Besides,the future car can fly and it will solve a lots problem of traffic jams.
3. For the movie maker, I have learn a lot of experience.Firstly is learn how to use the window movie maker to do this movie.Secondly,we have a lot of problem to do movie maker because we are first time do this kind of project.
4. I choose sports to compare and contrast.So, I want to compaare and contrast between badminton and tennis.
For compare:
1. Both of the badminton and tennis use balls to play.
2. Both games are played using timed 'quarters'.
3. They are played on a rectangular field.
4. The 2 games are popular spectator sports.
5. Both games have the rule.
6. Both games minimum of the player is two and the maximum player is four.
For Contrast:
1. For the games point, the two sport are different.The badminton din't have games point but tennis have games point.
2. In badminton, the points starts from 0 and then1,2,3,4...up to 15 or 21 according to the tournament and you could only earn your points when you are serving, not at others serves like in tennis.
3. Badminton, you will play with a shuttle, it looks like a half rubber ball attached to plastic wings. And tennis is played with a green or yellow fuzzy ball.
4. Badminton is indoor games but the tennis is outdoor games.

1)SPEEDTALK ACTIVITY
The first activity that we have done is speedtalk activity. The activity was very fun and interesting. Besides that, it can teach me to think more fast than before. This is because, i have given just a few second to answer the question that given by my friends. So, i really to think about the answer very fast and answer the question as soon as possible. Furthermore, i think that the activity can improve my communication skills using English as my second language. So, i am very enjoy doing the activity because the activity can release my tension and have a lot of benefit to improve my English. Lastly, i want to thank Mr Suriya because he organize the activity in our class.
2)THE CAR OF THE FUTURE
In the future, i would choose the semi auto car than manual car. This is because, semi auto car have a lot of advantages than manual car. First of all, the semi auto car are more comfortable and more relax to drive than manual car. This is because, we do not need to use clutch when shifting the gear or when braking. Besides that, semi auto car are suitable and easier to drive in the city especially when facing the traffic jam. So i can save my energy when facing the traffic jam because i don't need to hold the clutch paddle. Although the semi auto car are more expensive, but it have a lot of advantages than manual car. That's why i prefer semi auto car more than manual car.
3)THE MAKING OF MOVIE MAKER
This is my first time doing and using the movie maker software. So, i felt so excited and happy to do the project. My movie is about the revolution of F1 car. In the movie, i explain about the revolution of the F1 car from it's engine,design and so on. As my first time experience make the movie so i have face a lot of problems when doing it. Firstly, my laptop is always hang when doing the movie. Besides that, my group have no idea to decide the topic of movie maker. So, we need to brainstorm first before we can decide it. Furthermore, my movie can't play all the video that i put in it. This is because, the movie maker software can't read the format of the video. So, i need to convert the video first before make the movie back from the beginning. Here i would like to thank Mr Suriya because he give the assignment. I have learn a lot of things and experience new things when doing the movie maker.

CAR IN THE FUTURE..
ReplyDeleteEveryone know what is car but does people really know what kind of future car...
think about it..
For me, car in the future is totally different from car that we can see just now..
The future is more impressive,more comfortable and more sophisticated.Maybe future car would not used oil but used gases or solar technology.In conclusion, i think the future car is more useful,safety and more environmental.

Compare and contras
ReplyDeleteI would like to compare about car and motorcycle.Both is a vehicle that we are used in our life.Both is used as transport so that we can go to other places with quickly.Perhaps,both used oil to be functioning.
Then,we look at the contras between car and motorcycle.Firstly,we can see the different on amount of tyre that is used.Car has four tyre but motorcycle only have two tyre.Second,we can see the different between this two type of vehicle on its function.Car have more function than a motorcycle.If we used car,we can prevent ourself from rain and sunlight

(1) speed talk for this semester. For me, this activity make me think faster and can improve our communication skill.speedtalk give a lot of useful experience and also very interesting activity.We need to think faster and then talk in front of people.We also need to prepared answer for the question spontaneuously.
(2) i still don't have a license but if as i got a chance to have a car, i would choose semi-automatic car. I make such as decision because for me semi-automatic car always promising best driving experience because there is no clutch pedal. i would like to choose the semi auto car becouse this car is easy to drive than the manual car. although this car more expensive than the manual, it confortable to drive and we can more relax because we do not have to shift the gear and just need to drive without play with their cluth.
(3) this is my first time of doing movie maker. So it is very interesting for me. Before I learnt about how to create a movie using this movie maker, I feel so scared because I think that it is very difficult but once I’ve learnt, I love to make movie again and over again. There are several steps in doing the movie maker.Firstly choose one product which relate with the theme NOW AND THEN.Its is quit dificult to do this project because it is the first time we did it by using the movie maker.But its okay because we just import the pictures, video, audio and with the suitable music. The best part that make our movie differ from other group is we must make that movie very interesting so that it can attract the audience.This project makes us become more creative and high thinking level.
(4) 4. In consrasting and comparing section, i will choose basketball and soocer to be deacribe.
The similarities:
- both game use ball to play
- the two game have the rule
- both of soccer and basketball have center and
defends
- both game use time quaters
The differences:
- soccer is played by man only
- basketball can be played by both man and woman
- soccer use field to play
- basketball use court to play
- for soccer the ball is kick into the net
- for basketball the ball is throw into the net

ReplyDeleteThe effectiveness of speed talk.
In my opinion, the effectiveness of speed talk that is a good. It was fun and more effectiveness. This activity made me to ask and answer the questions spontaneously. It can improves our communication skill although have a problem in grammar. From that we can learn give the best answer and talk in front the people confidently.
Talk about the car of the future.
In this part, me and my partner think a design of the car are also important. We think a unique shape that was more elegant. From that we just think about that shape and how the car is used without petrol. For example, they used solar to save our earth. Or maybe the future car can move on the water or can fly some day.
Experience in doing the movie maker.
I and my partner choose a telephone from it made to now. There are some experiences that I have gained in doing the movie maker. My partner is found all the material to make used in our movie. It was a difficult when it is our first time to make it. But in our responsibility we are success to do that project. Finally, the project are published to play and submitted. That is my new experience and more interesting. It makes me more creative to make it. And to give a best movie.
Compare and contrast
I choose a foot ball and netball
Contrast
• A football is kick to a net but netball are throw to the net.
• A field for netball is smaller than a football field.
• A football is played by foot, but netball played by hand.
• Netball is played by a girl and the football commonly is played by a boy.
Compare
• Both of the soccer and basket ball use balls to play.
• They are played on a rectangular field.
• The 2 games are popular spectator sports.
Both games have the rule.
The effectiveness of speed talks activity
ReplyDeleteThe speed talk activity is good activity to make people think and speak faster. Besides that, this activity will make people good in communicate, especially for a people who are shy and passive before.
Talk about the car of the future.
When we thought about the car of the future, I’ll think about car without using oil. Through that, we can reduce pollution in air. Other than that, each car of the future must have same speed except for the certain use cars. So that, the accident on the road can be reduce. The product in the future must have the best reason why we build it. This can best be call as the development and not a destroyer.
Experience in doing a movie maker.
Make a movie maker is the best experience I ever had in IT lesson. The knowledge I known can help me on doing any other presentation. The project of this movie maker also gave us a lot of knowledge about one of the product that we discover it development. We learned and knew on how one the product that we uses everyday develop from one stage to another stage, and of course the best product is the product we use today.
Compare and contrast between tennis and badminton

1) Activity-speedtalk-Comment on the effectiveness of this activity
ReplyDelete-for the effectiveness, i think that speed talk can gave us confident to spoke well in the publick although there need a lots more practice.. because, to built confidence in oneself is not easy and not dificult...
ist all depend on the owner of the actions... if his/her wants to do it... then his/her will success.. the road aff seccess is not easy to find..mayB that why,some people don't dare to take it on... they affraid they can't do it... once people have that tought, percent of his/her failure is boast...so, by doing this activities, i hope can gave courage to my self n my frind...and for the effectiveness,its sure effective..
2) Talk about the car of the future
-the car for the future...
urm..
mayB in the future, car is not just to run on the road, but it can run on the water or dive in the water and also it cant fly...
but for my oppinion, the car for the future are useless even it have all this ability but its don't have the ablity to stop the polution. it mean that, if the car for the future still give the polutions, its become useless.. because, wee need to reduce the polution to make up to the future. all this polutions gave the bad effect not only to earth but also to all organsm thet live on it.. that why, my dream car for ther future is the car that will not make any polutions to the inviroment.
3) State your expereince in doing the movie maker
-huhu... doing a movie maker was a hard task..
because i never use it.. hehehe...
but its also fun.. because i can learn something new... my friends teach me a lot on how to doing it.. how to insert vid, music n other stuff.. thankz my dear friends..
hehehe..
4) You are to compare and contrast on the following:
A Career or Semi auto and manual car, or games-
-games:
games have develop in speed of light..(mayB)
i that because we can compare games we play in past 3@4 years ago n games we play today...
-game in the past usually can only play one person, and the game play for that tyme is interrsting but only for that tyme not this tyme. grafic for game in the past also about the average and poor... and there not many game as today..
-but for the game now days,usually the game can be played with friend..n others.. compare to the past game, today game is more interessting than the past.. the grafic also have been inprove.. so that the player will feel alive when play certain game...
but,game in the past have 1 simmilarities... it will waste the tyme of the player if the player cant control his/her self... the game will be bad influence if this occur.. but if the player cant control his/her self from playing games all the tyme, game can be something very good to rest our mind after study for long tyme...

Beside that, this activity teach me in how to make decision and answer the question in short given time. Lastly, this activity make my relation with others become more close. I hope this activity can be continue in next semester and can be improve to made this activity to be more fun.
2)car of the future
Absolutely, I choose manual car as my future car. Although, semi-auto car is more easier to controlled compare to manual car. Manual car is more prefer for me because manual car give high experience in driving and also more skill in driving compare to semi-auto car. Beside that, manual car is more cheaper than semi-auto car. That's why I more prefer to choose manual car compare to semi-auto car.

Hello, good days everyone…..
ReplyDelete1. Is this the activity that we had have done last semester? Yes, I think … Once again this activity made me remembered that the first day when I stepped into the Technical English class. That kind of feeling still new for me!!! The speed talk still conducted in the same way that we had to answer the others questions in 10 second. Although this can improve our thinking and speaking skills, I think that there is more effective way to improve this speed talk. For example let this speed talk became a game. Just tell one of the people to express something and others must guess what he is trying to express. Hence, I think this is more fun and effective.
2. When talking about the car of the future, I remembered that a movie called “Back to the Future”. In the movie, the main character and his best friend, a Doctor travelled through the time. The Doctor invents the time machine by using a car known as “DeLorean”. This time machine then modified into a flying time machine. Therefore, in my opinions, in the future, maybe the cars can be modifying until become a flying car. Besides that, the cars maybe also more advanced that all the cars running without using petrol….
3. My experience…..Emm…. actually, this is the very first time that I am using this movie maker. Although this application is inside our “windows”, I not using it because nothing to do with it. Today, when my lecturer told us to learn about movie maker and doing some assessment by using movie maker. Then I have the chance to use the movie maker. First time using the movie maker, felt quite difficult because do not know how operate it. After a meanwhile, I had have know how to using it. It you want the best quality, best effect for you assessment, you have to learn yourself or get help from others….
4. Comparing game:
Wushu (Chinese martial Arts) and Taekwondo
Similarity
Self-defence ARTS
Attach importance to whole body movements
Can improve stamina and health
Have rules when competitions
Differences
Martial arts more to hand, legs and weapons
Taekwondo more to hand and legs

Hi, once again I got something to say about the future of the car…..
ReplyDeleteToday, when I served the internet, I found that the future car must have some features like this…:
Advanced control
• Platoons of cars that are controlled by the lead car
• Automated highway systems
• Vehicle infrastructure integration
Energy source
One major problem in developing cleaner, energy efficient automobiles is the source of power to drive the engine. A variety of alternative fuel vehicles have been proposed or sold, including electric cars, hydrogen cars, and compressed-air cars.
Energy savers
Various technologies have been developed and utilized to increase the energy efficiency of conventional cars or supplement them, resulting in energy savings.
• Regenerative braking recaptures energy that would otherwise be lost as waste heat from the brake pads.
• BMW's Turbo steamer technology to harness the heat generated by conventional internal combustion engines and use it to generate mechanical energy, resulting in a 15% increase in fuel efficiency.
• Utilization of waste heat from D.W. as useful mechanical energy through exhaust powered steam, stirling engines, thermal diodes, etc..
• Using computational fluid dynamics in the design stage can produce vehicles which take significantly less energy to push through the air, a major consideration at highway speeds. The Volkswagen 1-litre car and Apteral hybrid car are examples of ultra-low-drag vehicles.
• Installing Vortex prevention devices at the back of the roof of a car reduces drag and therefore improve fuel efficiency.
Materials
• Duraluminum, fiberglass, carbon fiber, and carbon nanotubes may totally replace all steel in cars (potentially improving lightness and strength). Aluminum, carbon fiber and fiberglass are currently being used more in cars today.

About speed talk:
ReplyDeleteThe effectiveness of the speed talk activity is it can make people to think and answer question with basic instinct. It also as an ice breaking activity and give people a chance to know each others. Can you imagine you are given just a few second to answer the bombastic questions from each of your friends? And you don’t have any time to think, and then just answer the question with your natural opinion.
About Car of the future:
Between semi auto car and manual car, I will choose semi auto car because it is easy for me to drive semi auto car more than manual car. Even this car is more expensive than manual car; it is valuable because this car is more comfortable to drive compare to manual car. We do not have to shift the gear and just need to drive without play with their clutch. Both cars have their own advantages. So it is depends on the person either to use the manual or the semi-auto car. So what is your choice?
About movie maker:
Movie maker is a program to make a movie and I have tried this program while doing a movie maker about now and then. While doing this movie maker I had faced a lot of problem.

ReplyDeleteDon’t know why, I love English literature so much. I still remembered some of the literature that I had have learn before. One of the literature is “The Sound Machine”. Here are the synopsis about the story:
Klausner is a curious person who wants to know what goes around him. His curiosity causes him to invent things and carry out experiments to learn about the mysteries that surround him. He is particularly interested in the different types of sounds, tones and vibrations. He invents a sound machine to help detect both low-pitched and high-pitched sounds that are inaudible to the human ear. He takes out his invention to the garden to test it. He also takes out his invention to the park to further test it. Klausner wants his doctor, who is skeptical of his invention to know that it is possible to use his machine to hear the sounds that cannot be heard by the human ear. He gets the doctor to go with him to the park. But things do not turn out as he wishes. His own action causes the sound machine to be smashed to pieces and the doctor gets to see the darker side of his patient, who is also his friend.
From the story, I had had learn some moral values that are:
1. It is important to appreciate the gift of life
The story teaches us to appreciate the gift of life. The gift of life is divine. As humans we have a moral obligation to protect life and to take care of it. Klausner loves nature and wants to learn more about the sounds plants make. He carries out a few experiments and learns that plant or nature is also valuable just like life. Plants and trees too undergo pain and let out a scream when they are hurt or cut. Klausner wants the doctor to attend to the tree which he has cut with the axe. He orders the doctor to stitch the wound or apply iodine. The plants and trees are treated valuably. The story teaches us to appreciate the gift of life.
2. It is important not to be too obsessed in life
The story teaches to be realistic in life and not to be too obsessed in life. Klausner gets carried away because of his obsession and behaves very irrationally. He shows his weakness of letting his emotions control him. This can be seen when he overreacts and frightens his neighbour. He also behaves very irrationally when he demands the doctor to listen to what he says. He threatens the doctor through his actions. We learn that obsession is able to cause the downfall of a person. Klausner is too obsessed with what he does that he does realise that he has caused the branch of the tree to fall. It nearly causes him his life, but the sound machine is destroyed.
3. It is important to be practical and act rationally
The story teaches us to be practical and learn to solve problems carefully. There is a need for us to be realistic in life. It is important for a person to be able to handle situations even under trying conditions. This is the reality of living in a society. In the story, there is a valuable lesson; it is important to be practical and act rationally at all times. There is a need for us to find solutions to problems by thinking rationally and practically.
4. It is good to be creative and have a vision in life
The story teaches us to be creative and be far-sighted in life. It is good to be creative and innovative, especially if one’s invention can be useful to mankind. Being creative also requires a person to be responsible and act rationally. Similarly, it is important to have a vision in life to be able to contribute for the betterment of the individual, society and nation. We can become a good and useful citizen who is selfless and well-respected by all.

ReplyDeleteWhat is cloning? Cloning is the process of making an identical copy of something. In biology, it collectively refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments (molecular cloning), cells (cell cloning), or organisms. It also includes organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. Molecular cloning refers to the procedure of isolating a defined DNA sequence and obtaining multiple copies of it. Cloning a cell means to derive a population of cells from a single cell. In the case of unicellular organisms such as bacteria and yeast, this process is remarkably simple and essentially only requires the inoculation of the appropriate medium. However, in the case of cell cultures from multi-cellular organisms, cell cloning is an arduous task as these cells will not readily grow in standard media. Organism cloning refers to the procedure of creating a new multi-cellular organism, genetically identical to another. In essence this form of cloning is an asexual method of reproduction, where fertilization or inter-gamete contact does not take place. Dolly, the first mammal that success clone from adult cell. Dolly was well-known as the result showed that the genetic material from a specific adult cell, programmed to express only a distinct subset of its genes, could be reprogrammed to grow an entire new organism. Before this, there is no proof that it will success.

ReplyDeleteThis is the first English literature that I learned. The title of the story is “The Pearl”.
Here are the synopses:
Kino and his family live in the fishing village. Kino looks for pearls to support his family. Kino and his people are treated with disrespect especially by the rich. Kino feels humiliated and he is troubled. He is determined to find a solution to all the problems that he and his family face. He dives to search for a pearl that would reshape his life and that of his family. Luck is on his side. The answer to his miseries is found. Kino finds the greatest pearl in the world. He starts to see hope in his life and dreams of starting life all over with his new found treasure. But, the pearl brings him and his family only more misfortune and miseries!
Kino and Juana find themselves at the crossroads of life and they are hunted by people with greedy ambitions and evil minds. The pearl has brought out the worst in man! Kino and Juana are on the run to escape evil. The pearl is now the root of their entire problem. Kino needs to make up his mind whether to keep the pearl or get rid of it for good. He makes up his mind and throws the pearl back into the sea. Kino loses everything, his home, his only son and hope. Kino's dreams are shattered and the pearl is no longer with him. He and Juana must face the realities of life.
If you read the novel before, what moral values do you learn? Moral values are important in life. Moral values readers make judgments on which actions are right or wrong based on certain virtues, qualities and principles. These virtues are universally accepted. Honesty is a virtue which is upheld by all societies. There are many other positive qualities that would help us become a better person. Looks at some of the moral values found in the novel below:
Honesty
Being honest is important as it shows one’s character. There is a saying that honesty is the best policy. These are not mere words as people who are honest are highly regarded by everyone. In the story, Kino and Juana are honest to each other. They speak the truth and are god-fearing people. Juan Tomas and Apolonia are also honest. They do not cheat or steal from others to prosper. From Kino and Juan Tomas, we learn of many who have cheated these poor people in parting with their pearls. In the past, these people have even employed agents to sell their pearls in the capital. But, the agents cheated them and they never heard of them nor saw their pearls again. From the actions of the characters especially Kino and Juana, we learn the value of being honest.
Trust
Trust is important in a person’s life. We need to be trustworthy so that people will have high regard for us. In the story, Kino trusts Juana, Juan Tomas and Apolonia. He trusts his people and knows that everyone is interested in him and his family’s well-being. The people are united and they are together. When Coyotito is stung by the scorpion the neighbours gather in front of Kino’s brush house. Similarly, they follow Kino and Juana to see the doctor to treat Coyotito. The element of trust is very important when we live as a society. Kino knows that he can trust his people. However, things change after Kino finds the pearl and people become envious of him.
In the story, Kino takes his pearl to La Paz, the pearl trading centre to sell his pearl. He does so because he trusts the people. However, Kino realises that they are trying to cheat him and defies them. Kino starts to be suspicious of people especially when he has a strong hunch or a feeling deep inside him.
Juana trusts her husband and follows him to the mountain to escape evil men. She trusts Kino as her and Coyotito’s saviour. Even when Kino asks her to use another trail and escape from the trackers, while he misleads the trackers, she refuses to do so. She knows she can trust Kino to safeguard her and Coyotito. We learn from the actions and thoughts of the main characters the importance of trust.
Bravery
Being brave to face the challenges that confront us is a positive quality. We need to be brave in order to act in the best possible way. In the setting of the story, the people depend on the sea to make a living. They go out to the sea to catch fish and also dive into the sea to look for pearls. Going underwater by holding one’s breath is not easy. It requires skills and one needs to be brave. Kino is a brave man who has great stamina. He can hold his breath for more than two minutes underwater.
Kino is brave. He faces the intruders and attackers, putting up a fight. In self-defence, he kills one of his attackers. He also kills three trackers knowing very well that they are out to kill him and his family. Kino shows that he is a brave man throughout the story. It is difficult to make important decisions in life. Kino makes some important decisions because he is brave to face the consequences of his actions. He is willing to keep the pearl even though he knows for sure that evil eyes are prying and malicious individuals are out to rob him of it.
Even after being attacked twice, losing his canoe and house, Kino wants to fight back. He is brave to travel to the capital to sell his pearl. This action is seen as defying the older order of life. Kino is brave to break away from his ‘life-trap’, knowing that his family needs a better future.
Juana is also brave. She acts fast in deciding to flee the place. She shows that she is a brave woman. When Coyotito is stung by a scorpion, she sucks at the wound to try to get the poison out of his body. She does not fear her life and risks it to save her baby. She makes a brave move by trying to throw the pearl away, knowing very well that Kino disapproves of such an intentions.
We learn about bravery from the actions of the characters and their reactions to situations.
The danger of greed
While greed is seen as a theme in the story and how it leads to evil actions, it is also seen as a moral lesson. Greed shows its ugly face throughout the story. It is because of greed, the desire to be rich and great, that people resort to evil ways causing others to suffer and be miserable. In “The Pearl” we see the downfall of a man and his family. Kino loses everything because of others’ greed. Kino loses his livelihood, brush house, canoe, and is forced to flee from people who are out to kill him and his family. Kino also loses his future. The greatest loss for Kino is the death of Coyotito, who he wishes would be educated and be his family’s hope for a greater meaning to life. But, Coyotito is shot accidentally when he is mistaken as a coyote pup by one of the trackers.
Greed is seen through the actions of the doctor, pearl buyers, attackers and trackers. The neighbours become envious of Kino. Everyone wish to own the pearl and make a fortune out of it.
The doctor agrees to treat Coyotito because he is driven by greed. He has his own evil plans in place. Greed also drives the other to be cunning, malicious, intolerant, selfish, calculative, insincere, possessive and violent. Greed is the cause for men to turn violent and attack Kino. It causes people to kill. It brings great hardships, sufferings and miseries to Kino and his family. In the end, it causes Kino to be aimless and lose the meaning of life. We learn that greed leads to one’s downfall.

ReplyDeleteI would like to share with you all about tips on improving memory. Most of us express dissatisfaction with our memory, especially when we want to recall some detail and we can't. Some examples such as a telephone number, somebody's name and others. So at here I will briefly describe what we need to do to improve our memory. Firstly, you must have positive expectation. You should believe that you have a good memory. If you believe you have a poor memory and you can't remember anything, your mind will do everything to prove you right. Second tip is your interest and the importance of particular things. Thirdly, you must pay attention. If you want to recall something, pay close attention to it at the time. Next tip is memory is an active process. Good memory is a state of the active mind. Fifth tip is you should have a relaxed mind helps memory. Learn with a relaxed mind. Recall the learned material with a relaxed mind. Next, you must reduce anxiety. While mild anxiety can increase interest and attention, high anxiety can impair attention and concentration, and therefore, limit the recall of learned material. Management of test anxiety has helped many students in their test performance. Seventh tip is monitor depression. Depression can impair the interest and joy in the events surroundings us. As a result, too little energy is left to recall anything. The last tip is using your favorite sensory channel. So, hope this will help everyone to improve your memory.

ReplyDeleteDo you know who the fastest sprinter in the world is??
Then I will tell you about him...
Usain Bolt CD (IPA: [ju'seːn]) (born 21 August 1986) is a Jamaican sprinter. Bolt holds the Olympic and world records for the 100 meters at 9.69 seconds, the 200 meters at 19.30 seconds and, along with his teammates, the 4x100 meters relay at 37.10 seconds, all set at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Bolt became the first man to win all three events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man in history to set world records in all three at a single Olympics. His name and achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "'Lightning' Bolt".
Bolt distinguished himself with a 200 m gold medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships, making him the competition's youngest-ever gold medalist. In 2004, at the CARIFTA Games, Bolt became the first junior sprinter to run the 200 m in under 20 seconds with a time of 19.93 s, breaking Roy Martin's world junior record by two-tenths of a second. Bolt also set competition records at a number of other junior events.
Bolt turned professional in 2004 but missed most of his first two seasons due to injuries; he was eliminated in the first round of the 200 m heats at the 2004 Summer Olympics. In 2007, Bolt beat Don Quarries’ 200 m Jamaican national record with a run of 19.75 s. In May 2008, Bolt set his first 100 m world record with a time of 9.72 s, improving upon his previous personal best of 9.76 s which was made earlier in the month.

ReplyDeleteTiramisu is one of the most popular Italian cakes. It is made of lady finger biscuits dipped in espresso or strong coffee and layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks, mascarpone and sugar and topped with cocoa. Marsala wine or a liqueur may be added to flavor the mixture. Tiramisu has become one of the most popular desserts served in restaurants of all types, not just Italian restaurants. The recipe has been adapted into cakes, puddings, and other varieties of dessert. But do you know about the origins of tiramisu?
It is claim that tiramisu was born in Treviso at "Le Beccherie" restaurant in the hands of the confectioner Roberto Linguanotto, also known as Loli. Other sources report the creation of the cake to have originated in the city of Siena. Some confectioners were said to have created it in honour of Cosimo III on the occasion of his visit to the city. There is some debate regarding tiramisu's origin, as there is no documented mention of the dessert before 1983. However, in 1998, Fernando and Tina Raris similarly claimed that the dessert is a recent invention. They point out that while the recipes and histories of other layered desserts are very similar, the first documented mention of tiramisu in a published work appears in a Greek cookbook. Backing up this story, the authors recalled an article that tiramisu was created in 1971 in Treviso by Carminantonio Iannaccone.

ReplyDeleteDo you all like to have a music or song? Do we like without music? The answer is NO !!!! Therefore, I would like to share a song with you all. I feel that this song is quite meaningful. Song title is:”Life For Rent”, from Dido Armstrong. One of the favourite song of mine. The meaning of this song is about life and reality of the life. Here are the lyrics of the song:
I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive
If my life is for rent...
Hope you all enjoy this song.

ReplyDeleteWe have tried this speedtalk game last semester.It is quite challenging and out of my expection, i'm able to have a chance to try it again this time.I manage to do it better this time. At least i can give responses to my friends' nonsense question. Actually this game really helps students a lot especially in critical thinking and giving respons and opinion in english which is a language most students are not familiar with. In my opinion, this will be a fasinating game for newcomer but not as attractive for us who have played this game last time. Lastly, I do look forward for new games coming next.

Talk about the car of the future
ReplyDeleteFirstly, car of the future must not be an oil consuming car. It should be environmental friendly as we now concerning about the polution occured cause by human-made waste. Other alternative to operate the machine can be such as electrical and solar energy. The temperature of the earth is increasing and we should take an account on this problem by using less petrol to control the polution level.
Secondly, a future car must have a new technology to confine the driving speed so that the passanger and the driver as well will not expose to so much danger.People nowadays drive dangerously regardless the speed limitation signboard. So, a technology doing so is needed.
Thirdly, future car should be design splendidly. Future car should not have only one feature, include flying and diving function into the future car will make cars more interesting.

State your expereince in doing the movie maker
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time i made movie maker. We've faced several problem on that. Choosing the suitable product to share with others is the first problem we've meet. Secondly is the right song to put in to accompany the picture and video to bring more compare and contrast effect. Arguments and discussions occured but we will take these in a positive way. It will just make our project more better. As a conclusion, the movie maker we'd presented was not the very good one due to time limitation.We will surely do it better next time based on the experience we gain this time.
You are to compare and contrast on the following:

The criteria they have in common are :
1. Both play with rules.
2. Both play in a team.
3. Both play with a ball.
4. Both can substitute players.
5. Both wear jersey.
6. Both play in a specific court.
They are some difference between these two games which called the contrast. They are :
1. For soccer, the ball is kicked into the net but for basketball, ball is thrown into the net.
2. For soccer, a goalie defends the net but for basketball, a guard defends the net.
3. For soccer, the ball is being kicked but ball is being bounce for basketball.
4. Soccer is played in a field but basketball is played in a court.
5. Soccer is played with feet but basketball played with hands.

ReplyDeleteJohn Gray's Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus has helped many millions of couples transform their relationship. Now viewed as a modern classic, this phenomenal book has helped men and women realise how different they really are and how to communicate their needs in such a way that conflict doesnt arise and intimacy is given every chance to grow.
Introduction
The most frequently expressed complaint women have about men is that they dont listen. Either a man completely ignores her when she speaks to him, or he listens for awhile and then proudly puts on his Mr Fix-It cap and offers her a solution. Men dont understand that women dont want solutions, they want empathy.
On the other hand, the most frequently expressed complaint men have about women is that women are always trying to change them. When a woman loves a man, she feels responsible to assist him in growing and tries to help him improve the way he does things. She thinks she's nurturing him, while he feels he's being controlled. Instead, he wants her acceptance.
Summary: Men offer solutions, while women seek to improve.
Life on Mars
Men value power, competency, efficiency and achievement. Their sense of self is defined by their ability to achieve results, and they experience fulfilment primarily through success and accomplishment. And for him to feel good about himself, he must achieve these goals by himself. Someone else cant achieve them for him. Understanding this characteristic can help women to understand why men resist so much being corrected or being told what to do. To offer a man unsolicited advice is to presume that he doesnt know what to do or that he cannot do it on his own.
Everything on Mars is a reflection of these values. Even their dress is designed to reflect their skills and competence. Policemen, soldiers, businessmen, scientists, etc all wear uniforms or at least hats to show abilty and power. They dont read self-help magazines or romance novels. They are interested in outdoor activities, like hunting, fishing, or racing cars. They are more interested in "objects" and "things", because they feel that it can be a reflection or indication of their success or ability.
Because men handle their problems on their own, they rarely talk about them. The reason: "Why involve someone else when I can do it by myself?". However, if he truly needs help, he will ask someone he respects, often times another man. Men feel honored by giving out advice, and they automatically put on their Mr Fix-It cap, listen for awhile, and then offer jewels of advice.
This custom is one of the reasons men instinctively offer solutions when women talk about problems. When a woman complains about her day, or innocently shares upset feelings, the men mistakenly think that they want expert advice. He puts on his Mr Fix-It cap, and starts giving advice - this is his way of showing love and trying to help.
He wants to help her feel better, to be useful to her, and feels that he is can be valued and thus worthy of her love if his abilities are used to solve her problems. But when the woman gets upset it becomes increasingly difficult for the man to listen, because his solutions are being rejected and he feels increasingly useless. He has no idea that just listening with empathy and interest is good enough. He does not know that when women talk about problems it is not an invitation to offer a solution.
Summary: A man's sense of self is defined primarily through his ability to achieve results. To offer a man unsolicited advice is to presume that he doesn't know or that he cannot do it on his own.
Life on Venus
Women value love, communication, beauty and relationships. They spend alot of time supporting, helping and nurturing one another. Their sense of self is defined through their feelings and the quality of their relationships. They experienced fulfilment through sharing and relating to others.
Everything on Venus reflects these values. Rather than building highways and tall buildings, Venusians are concerned with living together in harmony, communicating and loving cooperation. They do not wear uniforms like the Martians. On the contrary, they enjoy wearing different outfits each day, according to their feelings. Personal expression, especially of their feelings, is very important. They may even change outfits several times a day as their mood changes.
To share their personal feelings is much more important than achieving goals and success. Instead of being goal-oriented, women are relationship-oriented. They are very involved in personal growth, spirituality, and everything that can nurture life, healing and growth. They are very intuitive, because they have developed this ability through centuries of anticipating the needs of others. They pride themselves on being considerate of the needs and feelings of others. A sign of great love is to offer help and assistance to another Venusian without being asked.
Because it's not as important to prove one's competence, offering help is not offensive, and needing help is not a sign of weakness to Venusians. It is a sign of caring to give advice and suggestions. Women firmly believe that when something is working it can always work better. Their nature is to want to improve things. When they care about someone, they freely point out what can be improved and suggest how to do it. Offering advice and constructive criticism is an act of love.
Men are more solution oriented. If something is working, their motto is "Dont fix it unless it's broken". When a woman tries to improve a man, he feels she is trying to fix him. He thinks he's "broken". She doesn't realise that her caring attempts to help him may humiliate him, and mistakenly thinks she is just helping him to grow.
Summary: A woman's sense of self is defined through their feelings and the quality of their relationships.

ReplyDeleteChapter 3: Men Go to Their Caves and Women Talk
Introduction
One of the biggest differences between men and women is how they cope with stress. Men become increasingly
focused and withdrawn while women become increasing overwhelmed and emotionally involved. At these times, a man's
needs for feeling good are different from a woman's. He feels better by solving problems while she feels better
by talking about problems.
Finding Relief in the Cave
When a man is stressed he will withdraw into the cave of his mind and focus on solving a problem. He generally
picks the most urgent problem or the most difficult. He becomes so focused on solving this one problem that he
temporarily loses awareness of everything else. Other problems and responsibilities fade into the background.
His full awareness is not present because he is mulling over his problems, hoping to find a solution. The more
stressed he is, the more gripped by the problem he will be. At such times he may be incapable of giving a woman
the attention and feeling that she normally receives.
Summary : To feel better, Martians go to their caves to solve problems alone. As for Venusians, they get together
and openly talk about their problems.

ReplyDeleteChapter 4: How to Motivate the Opposite Sex
When Martians became depressed, they left their cities and went to their caves for a long time. One day they glimpsed upon the beautiful Venusians, and the sight of these wondrous beings inspired the Martians, and their depression miraculously lifted. Suddenly they felt needed.
When the Venusians became depressed, they formed circles and talked about their problems. However, this didn't seem to relieve their depression, until one day they had a vision of strong and wondrous beings from Mars who would come to love, serve and support them. Suddenly they felt cherished.
When a man does not feel needed in a relationship, he gradually becomes passive and and less energised, and with each passing day he has less and less to give into the relationship. On the other hand, when he feels trusted to do his best to fulfill her needs and appreciated for his efforts, he is empowered and has more to give.
Women are motivated and empowered when they feel cherished. When a woman does not feel cherished in a relationship she gradually becomes compulsively responsible and exhaustive from giving too much. On the other hand, when she feels cared for and respected, she is fulfilled and has more to give as well.
Summary: Men are motivated and empowered when they feel needed. In contrast, women are motivated and empowered when they feel cherished.

ReplyDeleteChapter 5: Speaking Different Languages
Introduction
Martians and Venusian languages had the same words, but they way they were used gave different meanings. Their expressions were similar, but they had different emotional emphasis or connotations. Misinterpreting each other was very easy.
Expressing feelings versus expressing information
Men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words. For example, when a woman says "I feel like you never listen," she does not expect the word never to be taken literally. Using the word never is just a way of expressing the frustration she's feeling at that moment. It is not to be taken as factual information.
To fully express their feelings, women assume poetic license and use various superlatives, metaphors and generalizations. Men mistakenly take these expressions literally. Because they misunderstand the intended meaning, they commonly react in an unsupportive manner. Other examples of complaints easily misinterpreted are like the following:
Women say: "No one listens to me anymore."
Men respond: "But I'm listening to you right now."
Women say: "You dont love me anymore."
Men respond: "Of course I do. That's why I'm here."
Women say: "We never go out."
Men respond: "That's not true. We went out last week."
The "literal" translation of a woman's words can easily mislead a man who is used to using speech as a means of conveying only facts and information. In turn, a man's misguided response might also lead to an argument. When men and women are on the verge of arguing, they are generally misunderstanding each other. At such times, it is important to rethink or translate what they have heard.
Summary: To fully express their feelings, women assume poetic license and use various superlatives, metaphors and generalizations. Men commonly take these expressions literally by mistake.

ReplyDeleteChapter 6: Men Are Like Rubber Bands
Introduction
A rubber band is the perfect metaphor to understanding the male intimacy cycle. This cycle involves getting close, pulling away, and then getting back. Most women are suprised to realise that even when a man loves a woman, he periodically needs to pull away before he can get closer.
Women misinterpret a man's pulling away because generally a woman will pull away for different reasons. She pulls back when she doesn't trust him to understand her feelings, when she's been hurt and is afraid of being hurt again, or when he has done something wrong and disappointed her. Although a man may also pull away for the same reasons, he may sometimes pull away even when she has done nothing wrong.
A man pulls away to fulfill his need for independence or autonomy. When he has fully stretched away, then instantly he will come springing back. When he has fully separated, then suddenly he will feel the need for intimacy and love again. Automatically he will be more motivated to give his love and receive the love he needs. When a man springs back, he picks up the relationship at whatever degree of intimacy it was when he stretched away. He doesnt feel any need for a period of getting reacquainted again.
Summary: When a man loves a woman, periodically he needs to pull away before he can get closer.

ReplyDeleteChapter 7: Women Are Like Waves
Introduction
A woman is like a wave. When she feels loved her self-esteem rises and falls in a wave motion. When she is feeling really good, she will reach a peak, but then suddenly her mood may change and her wave crashes down. This crash is temporary. After she reaches bottom suddenly her mood will shift and she will again feel good about herself. Automatically her wave begins to rise back up.
When a woman's wave rises she feels she has an abundance of love to give, but when it falls she feels her inner emptiness and needs to be filled up with love. This time of bottoming out is a time for emotional housecleaning.
If she has suppressed any negative feelings or denied herself in order to be more loving on the upswing of her wave, then on the downswing she begins to experience these negative feelings and unfulfilled needs. During this down time she especially needs to talk about problems and be heard and understood.
A woman's ability to give and receive love in her relationships is generally a reflection of how she is feeling about herself. When she is not feeling as good about herself, she is unable to be as accepting and appreciative of her partner. At her down times, she tends to be overwhelmed or more emotionally reactive. When her wave hits bottom she is more vulnerable and needs more love. It is crucial that her partner understands what she needs at these times; otherwise he may make unreasonable demands.
Summary: A woman's self-esteem rises and falls like a wave. When she hits bottom it is time for emotional housecleaning.

ReplyDeleteI would like to share with you all about one of the poem:
There's Been A Death In The Opposite House
There's been a death in the opposite house
As lately as today.
I know it by the numb look
Such houses have alway.
The neighbours rustle in and out,
The doctor drives away.
A window opens like a pod,
Abrupt, mechanically;
Somebody flings a mattress out, -
The children hurry by;
They wonder if It died on that, -
I used to when a boy.
The minister goes stiffly in
As if the house were his,
And he owned all the mourners now,
And little boys besides;
And then the milliner, and the man
Of the appalling trade,
To take the measure of the house.
There'll be that dark parade
Of tassels and of coaches soon;
It's easy as a sign, -
The intuition of the news
In just a country town.
Emily Dickinson
Why I strong appeal with the moral values? Because it is important in our life. From the poem, the poem teaches us to deal with death in a rational way, by understanding it. Death is inevitable, and everyone has to face it in one way or another. The persona accepts death as being part and parcel of life.
The poem reminds us that there is nothing that would last forever. Nobody is immortal. Everyone is destined to die one day. It is a kind of life philosophy. Understanding death is important, and is part of the process of growing up. In the poem, the persona has a different idea about death when he was young and wondered whether the dead person actually died on the mattress that was flung out through the window. Now, he views death differently because he has grown up and is matured to understand things better.
The poem also teaches us to think about the importance of preserving and practising customs and traditions. Customs and traditions are part and parcel of the human dimension. We are identified as a member of a society or community when we practice the customs and traditions. Besides, it is a way of life. The persona shows how the people value customs and traditions. The minister visits the deceased; the mourners come to pay their last respect to the deceased. The funeral procession would go on, and people would be dressed according to the situation or circumstance.
There is another moral value that shows the important of cooperation and feeling of togetherness. The neighbours are around to pay their respect to the person who has died. Similarly, the mourners are there for that purpose too. The milliner and the man of the appalling trade do their job, and the funeral procession would take place. Moreover, there is no need for any official announcement that someone has died. The news spreads easily with people able to get the cues that there’s been a death in the opposite house or in the neighbourhood. The coaches would arrive soon bringing people to attend the funeral. All this shows that the people are very cooperative and have the feeling of oneness. It is important for us to be cooperative and have the feeling of belonging to a community or society.

ReplyDeleteThe poem that I had had learns for the very first time. Title “The Dead Grow”
He saw a death crow
in a drain
near the post office.
He saw an old man
gasping for air
and a baby barely able to breathe
in a crowded morning clinic.
This land is so rich.
Why should we suffer like this?
I want clean air
for my grandchildren.
I want the damned fools
to leave the forest alone.
I want the trees to grow,
the rivers run free,
and the earth covered with grass.
Let the politicians plan how we may live with dignity,
now and always.
A.Samad Said
The poets are generally interested in putting across their ideas through their poems. They do this through their observations and based on their experiences. They wish to share their perceptions and experiences with people or the readers. They use words to bring out the human dimensions and what they go through in their lives. These are rich experiences that make readers become aware of some issues and concerns. In the poem, The Dead Crow by A. Samad Ismail, the persona makes some observations and expresses his feelings of what is happening. The persona shares his or her feelings and concerns.

ReplyDeleteI love the following poem because it illustrates the beauty of the environment and the natural. The title is “ The Lake Isle Of Innisfree”. Besides that , it also illustrates the freedom.
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattlesmade;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comesdropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

ReplyDeleteBees can be used to detect landmines. Tiny radio plates the size of a rice grain will be attached to honey bees to detect antipersonnel landmines, of which there are about 100 million in 70 war-torn countries.
The tiny radio plates are engraved with serial numbers to keep track of the bees, which are being conditioned to develop a preference in addition to nectar, in this case TNT, or any other material that releases methamphetamine. Special spectrometers that can "smell" TNT are placed in movable beehives to indicate landmines in specific areas. Bees that "smell" of explosives can then be tracked to the landmine. The bees won't detonate the landmines.
This is just one of many reasons why bees are important to us. Without bees, there will be no flowers or crops. Although birds, other insects and the wind also pollinate plants, bees do most of it.

ReplyDeleteInsomnia
Insomnia is a symptom of a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. Insomnia is a symptom, not a stand-alone diagnosis or a disease. By definition, insomnia is "difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or both" and it may be due to inadequate quality or quantity of sleep. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Insomniacs have been known to complain about being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and non-organic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder.
Here is treatment for insomnia. In many cases, insomnia is caused by another disease, side effects from medications or a psychological problem. It is important to identify or rule out medical and psychological before deciding on the treatment for the insomnia. Attention to sleep hygiene is an important first line treatment strategy and should be tried before any pharmacological approach is considered.

ReplyDeleteTHE MIRACLE OF GREEN TEA
"Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one." This is the first time I heard about this. Actually, this is an ancient Chinese proverb regarding the drinking of green tea. Before this, I am wondering why do the Chinese loves to drink green tea rather than black or oolong teas. After reading an article about it, I found that it is rich in cat chin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks. Why don't other Chinese teas have similar health-giving properties? Green, oolong, and black teas all come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. What sets green tea apart is the way it is processed. Green tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the EGCG compound from being oxidized. By contrast, black and oolong tea leaves are made from fermented leaves, which results in the EGCG being converted into other compounds that are not nearly as effective in preventing and fighting various diseases. Most shocking fact is, green tea can even help prevent tooth decay! Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that cause dental plaque. However, the bad about drinking green tea is it can cause insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine. However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee: there are approximately thirty to sixty mg. of caffeine in six - eight ounces of tea, compared to over one-hundred mg. in eight ounces of coffee.

ReplyDeletehiii sir!! ..actually i would like comment about car in the future..many advantage we can get from the car..for example just look at hybrid car,When you drive a hybrid car you are making a statement to the world that you care about the environment.Moreover a hybrid is easy to drive, because it operates just like any other car. You don’t need exotic fuels or special fuel pumps to refuel the car, and you don’t need to plug the car in to a power outlet to charge it. Even though hybrid fuel consumption can vary a lot depending on where and how you drive, you will still be getting better mileage than if you had bought a similar non hybrid car. and by using the hybrid car,it just make you feel good and also will make us easy to go anywhere.it also will overcome fuel problem in the future.

Thank you for being there to be my friend,
Thank you for helping me try to comprehend.
Thank you for making me feel happy, loved, and needed.
Thank you for when you are near, my loneliness is "DELETED".
Each time we talk, I keep asking myself if this is true:
How could I be so lucky to have a great friend like you?
I can't being to try to begin to thank you for all that you have done,
If there is anyone I trust anything to: You would be the one.
When you are around, all my wounds in my soul begin to mend.
For nothing in my world means more to me than you, my best friend.

After a while you learn the subtle difference
ReplyDeleteBetween holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, Not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today,
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
In stead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
And you learn that you really can endure…
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth,
and you learn and learn…
With every good bye you learn.

Rainbows after the Rain
ReplyDeleteWhatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine,
after the rain ….
Perhaps you may stumble,
perhaps even fall,
But God’s always ready,
To answer your call …
He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear …
Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
in dawn’s early light …
The Savior is waiting,
somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love ..
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
“God always sends rainbows ….
after the rain.

friendship
ReplyDeletehee,
i would like to share with all my lovely freinds about comradeship..why we need friendships when we have a lovely life in this world.
Why we need friends in our life.
Well friends, this is a tedious question to answer. Lets see each questions.
Why we need friendships?
Friendships are the gift to the man kind. The relation which we get in this world are blood related. But the only relationships which doesnot related to blood is friendship. Friendship has many forms and shapes. It is like water. If we pour the water into a jug it takes the shape of jug. if you pour the same water into a bowl it takes the shape o bowl. Sameway friendships will take a different shapes and sizes according to our heart. Friendship gives pleasure to human beings. Where there is friendship then there will not be any sorrow. When you see a child laughing you will forget your sorrows for a second, sameway when you are with a friend you forget your sorrows.
Friendships crosses boundries
The world is rotating smoothly because of the friendly hearts in the world. it crosses boundries and share a mutual bonding of love. Friendships will take care of this entire world from problems. If we are friends then our countries will, when our countries are friends then there is not need of weapons. So take weapon named friendship and love and conqure the world with love.
Friendships saves life
Trusted true friendships never makes others down. it helps a lot to make friends to comeup from the situation. Friendships never expect anything in return for all its offering. It saves life without looking into situation.

mother
ReplyDeleteWhat makes good mothers? It is a pertinent question whose answer cannot be contained within a few words. Mothers comprise of a bundle of emotions that sometimes defy reason. So this goes out to all the mothers who have kept awake all night with their sick toddlers in their arms, constantly uttering those compassionate words, "It's OK honey, Mommy's here."For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween costumes. And all the mothers who don't.For those who show up at work with milk stains on their dress and diapers in their handbags.For those mothers who cannot restrain tears from trickling down their cheeks when they hold their babies for the first time in their arms; and for the mothers who give birth to babies they'll never see.For the mothers who gave homes to babies and gifted them a family.For the mothers who yell at their kids who clamour for ice cream before dinner.For the mothers who defy all odds just to watch her kid perform and repeat to themselves"That's my child!!"For all the mothers who read "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year, and then read it again. "Just one more time." For the mothers who taught their children to tie the shoelaces even before they started going to school. For the mothers who incontinently turn their heads when they hear the word "Mom",even though they know that their kids are nowhere around.For the mothers who silently shed tears for their children who have gone astray.For all those mothers whose heart aches to watch her son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time.For all the mothers of the victims of all these school shootings, and the mothers of those who were involved in the shooting.For the mothers of the Survivors, and the mothers who sat in front of their TVs in horror, clinging to their child who just arrived from school safely.So, this is meant for all the young and aged mothers, working mothers and housewives, married mothers and the single mothers, those with money and without and for those without whom life would have been insufferable.

weight loss
ReplyDeleteIf you're overweight, losing weight can have many benefits. Losing 5% to 10% of body weight can allow your body to use insulin more effectively, thereby improving blood glucose control. Shedding some of those extra pounds can also help lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and other health problems. It can certainly be a challenge to lose weight and keep it off, however. In the articles below, you can read about weight-loss techniques that actually work, as well as the pros and cons of weight-loss surgery and meal replacements.

mental health
ReplyDeleteNavigating the process of seeking mental health care and then getting it is a daunting task for many. Even if it feels like you are adrift and have reached the point where you need therapy, making that final decision can still be uncomfortable. A range of questions may fill your head, from “I know I’m sad, but I’m not really that bad off, am I?” to “I feel nervous and edgy all the time. I wonder why, and what it means? Am I crazy?” You may even find yourself thinking, “Maybe it’s all related to my blood glucose” or “I wonder what everyone will think if they find out that I’m seeing a psychotherapist.”
These types of thoughts can make you feel as though you have no direction or simply prevent you from picking up the phone, and it may take a long time before you finally decide to seek help.Meeting with a mental health professional for a session to screen for emotional problems can determine if psychotherapy may be a life preserver for you. This is good idea if you have some of those thoughts and questions mentioned earlier. Particularly for people who have diabetes, such a consultation is becoming an accepted part of regular health screenings.
In the course of getting mental health treatment, however, there can some big questions. How do I find the right therapist? Is this covered by my insurance? What’s my role in sessions and at home? How long will I be in therapy? This article presents some basic information to point you in the direction of getting all of your questions answered and getting the help you need.

heart health
ReplyDeletePeople with diabetes are at increased risk for cardiovascular, or heart and blood vessel, disease—in fact, their risk is double that of people who don't have diabetes. Diabetes contributes to atherosclerosis, or narrowing of the arteries. This narrowing can restrict or stop blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body, causing heart attack or stroke. To prevent heart and blood vessel problems, it's important to keep your blood glucose, blood pressure, and levels of artery-clogging blood lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in check. Read the articles below to learn about the cardiovascular complications of diabetes and their treatment and prevention.

Alzheimer's Plaques More Complex Than Thought
ReplyDeleteThis is an article about alzheimer. since i small, i really concious what the alzheimer it is. so now i already know althought a little about this deasase. i read it in a NewsHealth 0n Thursday, 26 Feb 09.
The impact of amyloid plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease may be more complex than believed, U.S. researchers report.
It was already known that amyloid plaques affect neurons. But the researchers at the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease in Boston found that amyloid plaques may also increase the activity of astrocytes, nervous system cells that play a supporting role in brain function. This astrocyte hyperactivity isn't confined to regions directly beside the plaques, but extends throughout the brain.
The findings appear in the Feb. 27 issue of Science.
"Our work suggests that amyloid plaques might have a more complex role in altering brain function than we had thought," study author Kishore Kuchibhotla said in a hospital news release. "Plaques develop rapidly and have been shown to cause relatively acute, localized neuro-toxicity. We show that astrocytes could provide a network mechanism that may stretch the impact of plaques to more distant areas of the brain."
Since astrocytes make up about half the volume of the brain, Kuchibhotla and colleagues wanted to determine if astrocyte function may be affected by amyloid plaques. They used imaging techniques that gave them a real-time view of brain cell activity in living mice.
The researchers found that astrocytes flicker on and off at a much higher rate in mice genetically altered to have an abundance of brain plaques than in those without plaques. The plaque-associated astrocyte activity appeared to be synchronized and traveled to distant areas of the brain in a wave-like fashion.
Using another type of imaging technology, the researchers also found that mice with plaques had higher-than-normal resting calcium levels throughout their astrocyte network. Astrocyte activity wasn't reduced when the researchers blocked the activity of neurons. This indicates that the known impact of amyloid plaques on neurons isn't responsible for increased astrocyte activity.
"This is the first clear evidence in a live animal model that amyloid plaques perturb calcium signaling across the astrocyte network via a neuron-independent mechanism," Kuchibhotla said. "It has been suggested that these intercellular calcium waves, which previously had been observed only in response to some sort of external stimulus, indicate the existence of, or response to, a traumatic insult. Our data support this hypothesis, but whether the calcium signals we observed actually protect or harm cells remains to be determined."
"One key question will be how increased astrocyte signaling impacts neuronal function, and another will be whether astrocyte activity limits or intensifies plaque deposition," Kuchibhotla added.

child's development.
ReplyDeleteAn article that was written in a magazine is interests me and likes usual i love to share with you all guys. It is about who is influence child’s development most?
Most psychologists have said that children’s behaviour is largely influenced by genes and parent’s upbringing.
Genes are responsible for 50% of our behaviour. This conclusion was the result of years of study by behavioural scientist. People are nervous, friendly, and unsociable and so on because of their genes. Therefore the other half of a person’s character must be due to the home environment shaped by the parents. “That was how I raised” Is a common response.
Yet researchers have not been able to find conclusive evidence of this parental influence. Nervous parents do not have nervous children. In other words, it is not true that children turn out according to the way they are raised.
There is a new theory that gives a different view that how a child’s personality is shaped. It is shaped more by the child’s peers than his parents. Growing children try to distance themselves from the adults. They are more interested in keeping up with other children than copying their parents. They are influenced by their peers by their food, clothes, language and other aspect are concerned.
Children not as delicate as many believe them to be. They are not easily damaged, by their parents’ mistakes. Furthermore children can be cruel to one another. The world out there is tough for children. But they find ways to adapt themselves to it.

Health Benefits of the Strawberry
ReplyDeleteWe all know strawberries are delicious, but they are also nutritious, and ideally should be a part of everyone's daily diet. You'll enjoy some health advantages by eating strawberries regularly, and the best part is strawberries are one of the most delicious fruits.
The USDA recommends that every American eat at least five servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily, but unfortunately, most people don't even come close to that. Adding fresh strawberries to your diet, whether they are in salads, smoothies, or on their own, is a great way to get the servings of fruit you need for a well-rounded body and a healthy immune system.
What's so nutritionally good about strawberries?
Strawberries contain a range of nutrients, with vitamin C heading the group
In addition to vitamin C, strawberries also provide an excellent source of vitamin K and manganese, as well as folic acid, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, copper, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
I love to eat strawberry after read this page in internet, most delicious and nutritious fruit..it also can be a part of everyone's daily diet.. lets try i t..

t_bolt!
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to start comparing the Proton T-Bolts to the other mountain bikes, the Proton T-Bolts are value for money.For slightly lower than RM1,000, you get a carbon fiber frame, a full-suspension bike, disc brakes, 27-speed, Shimano Deore LX groupset and Rigida double-wall rims.
Other brands of mountain bikes, with similar kind of setup will easily cost you around RM1,500.
Well, some riders might ask if riding the Proton T-Bolt is tiring, especially when you’re climbing up-hill. Well, any full-suspension bike will have the same problem.
If you really want to use the T-Bolt for some serious hardcore cycling, you can always upgrade the suspension to be a better one, maybe a Fox rear shocks.
The factory complete bike is very suitable for those who are fresh to mountain biking and do not want to spend a huge sum of money on a bicycle, before actually knowing if they’re really going to enjoy the sport or not.
So if you’re interested to get one, come over and visit TB Fook Sang.
Btw, the Proton T-Bolts are actually following the EPX bikes.

kite oh kite...~
ReplyDeleteStep1
Cut two lengths of doweling rod, one 16 inches long and another 24 inches long.
Step2
Measure each cut piece with a ruler. Mark the shorter, 16-inch piece at half its length and mark the longer, 24-inch piece at a third of its length.
Step3
Position the two rods at right angles, one on top of the other so that the marks touch. The two rods should form a cross shape.
Step4
With strong, thin string, bind the two rods together where they meet. Tie a secure knot and cut off excess string.
Step5
Use a utility knife to cut a small notch into the ends of both rods. These notches will hold the string that gives the kite its shape.
Step6
Place some string in the notch at the top of the kite frame and wind it around the top of the rod.
Step7
When the string is well-secured at the top of the rod, draw it tightly around the edge of the frame. Make sure it fits securely into each notch in the rods.
Step8
When you return to the top of the frame, secure the string by tying its ends together in a tight knot.
Step9
Place the finished frame on top of a large piece of paper.
Step10
Using the kite frame as a template, cut the paper with scissors or a utility knife. Leave an excess of about 1/2 inch when cutting around the sections of string.
Step11
Smear glue along the outside edges of the paper and fold it over so that it encloses the string and secures itself to the paper inside the frame as well. Make sure you use enough glue and spread it evenly enough to attach the paper both to the string and itself.
Step12
Tie a length of string to each end of the shorter rod. The string should be a bit longer than the rod.
Step13
Tie another length of string to each end of the longer rod. Again, the string should be a bit longer than the rod.
Step14
Pick up the two strings with one hand, finding the point at the front of the kite where they overlap. Using a bit of extra string, tie them together. This is the point at which you will attach the kite string when it comes time to fly.
Step15
To make a tail for your kite, secure several ribbons to the bottom of the kite using strong glue.

tyme 4 sleep...~
ReplyDeleteHow much do we needs to sleep? you think?
Most teens need about 8½ to more than 9 hours of sleep each night. The right amount of sleep is essential for anyone who wants to do well on a test or play sports without tripping over their feet
This sleep deficit impacts everything from a person's ability to pay attention in class to his or her mood. Research shows that more than 20% of high school students fall asleep in class, and experts have been able to tie lost sleep to poorer grades.
Here are some of the signs that you may need more sleep
1)difficulty waking up in the morning
2)inability to concentrate
3)falling asleep during classes
4)feelings of moodiness and even depression
Here are some things that may help you to sleep better:
Set a regular bedtime. Going to bed at the same time each night signals to your body that it's time to sleep. Exercise regularly. Try not to exercise right before bed, though, as it can rev you up and make it harder to fall asleep. Avoid stimulants. Don't drink beverages with caffeine, such as soda and coffee, after 4 PM. Relax your mind. Avoid violent, scary, or action movies or television shows right before bed. Unwind by keeping the lights low. Light signals the brain that it's time to wake up.

life~
ReplyDeleteEverybody goes through a period of time in their life in which they think they’re worthless, their life is horrible, and nothing will ever go their way.
Learning to appreciate life is a very big aspect of that. You can be a happy person but until you take the time to appreciate the life you have, you will never reach your highest potential of happiness.
There are many ways in realizing that you have a great life, but below I will outline what I think are the 4 easiest and simplest ways of realizing this important truth
1) Things can always get better-improving your life to the point where it’s your dream life. No matter where your life stands - there is always a way to make it much better.
2) Get a pet-By having a pet you can appreciate the fact that you have support no matter what you did or what happened to you.
3) Look at the stars-When you look up and see the thousands of twinkling stars, you begin to ponder philosophical questions about your life, how amazing it is that the stars can be billions and trillions of light years away and yet you can see them, and what kind of magnificent energy it takes to create something like the universe we live in.
4) Watch or play with a baby-When you look at a baby, especially one that’s laughing or smiling, you can’t help but feel happy.

lets walk!!
ReplyDeleteWhy walking ?
Walking is the most natural exercise known to man.
Besides this, here are the other benefits of walking ---
1 ) Walking improves circulationCalf muscles are man's second heart. On walking, these muscles pump the blood to the heart with all force. This leads to greater heart exercise, increased oxygen requirement & better blood circulation.
2) Walking is good for the heart.The increased oxygen requirements lead to exercise for the heart. On a long term basis, it leads to a better circulation for the heart. Thus it reduces the chances of a heart attack.
That way you will easily get minimal amount of good exercise every day. And, as striding becomes a habit, you will soon get more exercise, willingly.

What is Breast Cancer?
ReplyDeleteWhen cells in the breast begin to grow in an uncontrolled manner, we call them malignant. This growth process begins very slowly, and it may take as long as ten years before the cells have grown into a lump that can be detected in a physical exam. Although cancer growth starts slowly, it usually accelerates at an ever-increasing rate.
If you or your doctor detect a cancerous lump at an early stage of its development, the chances of complete recovery are excellent. But if a cancerous lump isn't detected early, it can metastasize, or send cancer cells through your bloodstream and lymph nodes to attack other parts of your body.

ReplyDelete21)UMBRELLA
An umbrella or parasol (sometimes colloquially, gamp, brolly, umbrellery, or bumbershoot) is a canopy designed to protect against precipitation or sunlight. The term parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun, and umbrella refers to a device more suited to protect from rain. Often the difference is the material; some parasols are not waterproof. Parasols are often meant to be fixed to one point and often used with patio tables or other outdoor furniture, or for shelter from the sun. Umbrellas are almost exclusively hand-held portable devices; however, parasols can also be hand-held. Umbrellas can be held as fashion statements in the twenty first century for some men and women and are sometimes seen as simple accessories that complete an outfit.
The word umbrella is from the Latin word umbra, which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek ómbros .Its meaning is shade or shadow. Brolly is a slang word for umbrella, used often in Britain, New Zealand and Australia. Bumbershoot is a fanciful Americanism from the late 19th century.
Umbrella is another synonym for the term parasol, which was first used as a protection against the scorching heat of the sun, "para" meaning stop or shield and "sol" meaning sun. The word "umbrella" has evolved from the Latin "umbella" (and "umbel" is a flat-topped rounded flower) or "umbra," meaning "shaded." In Britain, umbrellas are sometimes called "gamps" after the character Mrs. Gamp in the Charles Dickens novel, Martin Chuzzlewit, who was known for often carrying an umbrella
As a canopy of state, umbrellas were generally used in southern and eastern Europe, and then passed by a natural process from the imperial court into church ceremonial. They are found in the ceremonies of the Byzantine Church, they were borne over the Host in procession, and form part of the Pontifical regalia. Consequently, the ombrellino or umbraculum, is a part of the papal regalia. Although the popes no longer use it personally, it is displayed on the coat of arms of a sede vacante (the papal arms used between the death of a pope and the election of his successor). This umbraculum is normally made of alternating red and gold fabric, and is usually displayed in a partially unfolded manner. The popes have traditionally bestowed the use of the umbraculum as a mark of honor upon specific persons and places. The use of an umbraculum is one of the honarary symbols of a basilica and may be used in the basilica's coat of arms, and carried in processions by the basilica's canons.

ReplyDelete22)CAKE
Cake is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter, shortening, or margarine, although a fruit purée such as applesauce is sometimes substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavors and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder), though many cakes lack these ingredients and instead rely on air bubbles in the dough to expand and cause the cake to rise. Cake is often frosted with butter cream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit.
Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some rich and elaborate and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.
Special cake flour with a high starch:gluten ratio is made from fine-textured, soft, low-protein wheat. It is strongly bleached, and compared to all-purpose flour, cake flour tends to result in cakes with a lighter, less dense texture. Therefore, it is frequently specified or preferred in cakes meant to be soft, light, and or bright white, such as angel food cake. However, cake flour is generally not considered mandatory for good results, and its effect on the cake's texture can readily be simulated by adding corn starch and/or baking soda to all-purpose flour. Some recipes explicitly specify or permit all-purpose flour, notably where a firmer or denser cake texture is desired.

ReplyDelete23)CONVERSE
In his late 30s, Marquis M. Converse, who was previously a respected manager at a footwear manufacturing firm, opened the Converse Rubber Shoe Company (also known as the Boston Rubber Shoe Company) in Malden , Massachusetts in 1908. The company was a rubber shoe manufacturer, providing winterized rubber soled footwear for men, women, and children. By 1910, Converse was producing 4,000 shoes daily, but it wasn't until 1915 that the company began manufacturing athletic shoes for tennis. The company's main turning point came in 1917 when the Converse All-Star basketball shoe was introduced. Then in 1921, a basketball player named Charles H. or "Chuck" Taylor walked into Converse complaining of sore feet. Converse gave him a job. He worked as a salesman and ambassador, promoting the shoes around the United States, and in 1923 his signature was added to the All Star patch. He tirelessly continued this work until shortly before his death in 1969. Converse also customized shoes for the New York Renaissance (the "Rens"), basketball's first all African American pro basketball team.
The Chuck Taylor All Star shoe has developed a number of nicknames over the years, such as: "Cons", "Connies", "Convics", "Verses", "Chuckers", "Chucks", "Converse", "Chuckies", "Chuckie T's", or "Chucker Boots" or "chuck talors"for the higher styles. For decades the Chuck Taylor All Star basketball shoe only came in black, with a white variant released in 1947. Under pressure from basketball teams Converse decided in 1966 to manufacture other colors. Different materials also began to be used, starting in the 1970s, including leather, suede and vinyl, and even hemp, rather than just canvas. Besides high-tops, low-cuts and later knee-high versions were produced. After Converse was bought by Nike, operations were moved from the United States to overseas, although the design has had few alterations. The fabric is no longer 2-ply cotton canvas but 1-ply "textile" and many wearers have noticed different patterns of wear.

ReplyDelete24)SOAP BUBBLE
A soap bubble is a very thin film of soap water that forms a sphere with an iridescent surface. Soap bubbles usually last for only a few moments before bursting: either on their own or on contact with another object. They are often used for children 's enjoyment, but their usage in artistic performances shows that they can be fascinating for adults too. Soap bubbles can help to solve complex mathematical problems of space, as they will always find the smallest surface area between points or edges for example.
A soap bubble can exist because the surface layer of a liquid (usually water) has a certain surface tension, which causes the layer to behave somewhat like an elastic sheet. However, a bubble made with a pure liquid alone is not stable and a dissolved surfactant such as soap is needed to stabilize a bubble. A common misconception is that soap increases the water's surface tension, soap actually does the opposite, decreasing it to approximately one third the surface tension of pure water. Soap does not strengthen bubbles, it stabilizes them, via an action known as the Marangoni effect. As the soap film stretches, the surface concentration of soap decreases, which in turn causes the surface tension to increase. So soap selectively strengthens the weakest parts of the bubble and tends to prevent them from stretching further. In addition, the soap reduces evaporation so the bubbles last longer, although this effect is relatively small.
Their spherical shape is also caused by surface tension. The tension causes the bubble to form a sphere, as a sphere has the smallest possible surface area for a given volume. This shape can be visibly distorted by air currents. However, if a bubble is left to sink in still air, it remains very nearly spherical, more so for example than the typical cartoon depiction of a raindrop. When a sinking body has reached its terminal velocity, the drag force acting on it is equal to its weight. Since a bubble's weight is much smaller in relation to its size than a raindrop's, its shape is distorted much less. (The surface tension opposing the distortion is similar in the two cases: The soap reduces the water's surface tension to approximately one third, but it is effectively doubled since the film has an inner and an outer surface.)

ReplyDelete25)EARTH
Earth is the third planet from the Sun. Earth is the largest of the terrestrial planets in the Solar System in diameter, mass and density. It is also referred to as the World and Terra.
Home to millions of species, including humans, Earth is the only place in the universe where life is known to exist. The planet formed 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface within a billion years. Since then, Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful radiation, permitting life on land.The physical properties of the Earth, as well as its geological history and orbit, allowed life to persist during this period. The world is expected to continue supporting life for another 1.5 billion years, after which the rising luminosity of the Sun will eliminate the biosphere.
Earth's outer surface is divided into several rigid segments, or tectonic plates, that gradually migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of years. About 71% of the surface is covered with salt-water oceans, the remainder consisting of continents and islands; liquid water, necessary for all known life, is not known to exist on any other planet's surface. Earth's interior remains active, with a thick layer of relatively solid mantle, a liquid outer core that generates a magnetic field, and a solid iron inner core.
Earth interacts with other objects in outer space, including the Sun and the Moon. At present, Earth orbits the Sun once for every roughly 366.26 times it rotates about its axis. This length of time is a sidereal year, which is equal to 365.26 solar days. The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.4° away from the perpendicular to its orbital plane, producing seasonal variations on the planet's surface with a period of one tropical year (365.24 solar days). Earth's only known natural satellite, the Moon, which began orbiting it about 4.53 billion years ago, provides ocean tides, stabilizes the axial tilt and gradually slows the planet's rotation. Between approximately 4.1 and 3.8 billion years ago, asteroid impacts during the Late Heavy Bombardment caused significant changes to the surface environment.
Both the mineral resources of the planet, as well as the products of the biosphere, contribute resources that are used to support a global human population. The inhabitants are grouped into about 200 independent sovereign states, which interact through diplomacy, travel, trade and military action. Human cultures have developed many views of the planet, including personification as a deity, a belief in a flat Earth, and a modern perspective of the world as an integrated environment that requires stewardship.

ReplyDelete26)CAFETERIA
A cafeteria is a type of food service location in which there is little or no table service, whether a restaurant or within an institution such as a large office building or school; a school dining location is also referred to as a canteen or dining hall. Cafeterias are different from coffeehouses, although that is the Spanish meaning of the English word.
Instead of table service, there are food-serving counters/stalls, either in a line or allowing arbitrary walking paths. Customers take the food they require as they walk along, placing it on a tray. In addition, there are often stations where customers order food and wait while it is prepared, particularly for items such as hamburgers or tacos which must be served hot and can be quickly prepared. Alternatively, the patron is given a number and the item is brought to their table. Sometimes, for some food items and drinks, customers collect an empty container, pay at the check-out, and fill the container after the check-out. Free second servings are often allowed under this system. For legal purposes (and the consumption patterns of customers), this system is rarely or never used for alcoholic beverages.
Customers are either charged a flat rate for admission (as in a buffet), or pay at the check-out for each item. Some self-service cafeterias charge by the weight of items on a patron's plate.
As cafeterias require few employees, they are often found within a larger institution, catering to the clientele of that institution. For example, schools, colleges and their residence halls, department stores, hospitals, museums, and office buildings often have cafeterias.
At one time, upscale cafeteria-style restaurants dominated the culture of the Southern United States, and to a lesser extent the Midwest. There were several prominent chains of them: Bickford's, Morrison's Cafeteria, Piccadilly Cafeteria, S&W Cafeteria, Apple House, K&W, Britling, and Blue Boar among them. Currently two midwest chains still exist, Sloppy Jo's Luchroom and Manny's, both located in Illinois. There were also a number of smaller chains, usually in and around a single city. These institutions, with the exception of K&W, went into a decline in the 1960s with the rise of fast food and were largely finished off in the 1980s by the rise of "casual dining". A few chains — notably Luby's and Piccadilly Cafeterias (which took over the Morrison's chain), continue to fill some of the gap left by the decline of the older chains. Many of the smaller Midwestern chains, such as MCL Cafeterias centered around Indianapolis, are still very much in business.

ReplyDeleteLEARNING MANDARIN IS EASY
Hii..actually i want to sharing to all after i had learning mandarin i found that it quite easy to me. because this language also important in our life.its very usefull.below its about how and why must learning mandarin:
Obviously, speaking chinese is only useful when dealing with chinese people, but there are about a billion of them and the country is opening up. You can argue that this is the language of the future, with huge untapped markets for so many things that the need for Western people speaking chinese can only go up.
The spoken language is usually not considered as beautiful by Western people, although you can't deny the attraction of the writing system which has led more than one to learn the language. Learning chinese is considered so difficult and so few people actually do it that it seems that if you say that you speak it the only attitude you're likely to meet is disbelief. Too bad because on the face of it, this is probably the most difficult language you can learn so it should also be the most chic.
About 800 mio speak it as their mother tongue, plus 200 mio as a second language. Keep in mind that all the chinese languages in China are written more or less the same and that if you can read one, you can read all.
This is where it becomes tricky, because mandarin chinese is only spoken in mainland China, not in Taiwan nor in Honk Hong. That means that outside China, you are likely to meet people who speak another dialect, like cantonese.
Travelling with chinese is limited to China, but what a country it is ! Sea, desert, mountains, forests, huge cities, just name it and you'll find a passionating chinese version.

ReplyDelete27)TABLE:
A table is an item of furniture comprising a surface supported by a base or legs. It may be used to hold articles such as food at a convenient or comfortable height when sitting, and is therefore often used in conjunction with chairs. Unlike many earlier table designs, most modern tables do not have drawers, although they are not uncommon. A table specifically intended for writing and office work is a desk, which may incorporate one or more drawers in the base. Some tables have removable sections or leaves used to extend the surface, or utilise hinged extensions of the table top known as drop leaves. Tables can be made of wood, plastic, metal or basically any material that is a solid densedy.
Tables come in a wide variety of shapes, height, and materials, depending on their origin, style, and intended use. All tables are composed of a flat surface and a base with one or more supports, or legs. A table with a single, central foot is a pedestal table. Tables can be freestanding or designed for placement against a wall (a console table). Table tops can be in virtually any shape, although rectangular, square, round (e.g., the round table), and oval tops are the most frequent. Long tables often have extra legs for support. Others have higher surfaces for personal use while either standing or sitting on a tall stool.
Many tables have tops that can be adjusted to change their position or size, either with foldable extensions or sliding parts that can alter the shape of the top. Some tables are entirely foldable for easy transport, e.g., camping. Small tables in trains and aircraft may be fixed or foldable, although many are simply convenient shelves rather than tables.

ReplyDelete28)CEREAL
Cereals, grains or cereal grains, are grasses - members of the monocot families Poaceae or Gramineae) cultivated for the edible components of their fruit seeds (botanically, a type of fruit called a caryopsis) - the endocarp, germ and bran. Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop; they are therefore staple crops. In their natural form (as in whole grain, they are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats and oils and protein. However, when refined by the removal of the bran and germ, the remaining endocarp is mostly carbohydrate and lacks the majority of the other nutrients. In some developing nations, grain in the form of rice, wheat, or maize (i.e., corn) constitutes a majority of daily sustenance. In developed nations, cereal consumption is more moderate and varied but still substantial.
The warm-season cereals are grown in tropical lowlands year-round and in temperate climates during the frost-free season. Rice is commonly grown in flooded fields, though some strains are grown on dry land. Other warm climate cereals, such as sorghum, are adapted to arid conditions.
Cool-season cereals are well-adapted to temperate climates. Most varieties of a particular species are either winter or spring types. Winter varieties are sown in the spring, germinate and grow vegetatively, then become dormant during winter. They resume growing in the springtime and mature in late spring or early summer. This cultivation system makes optimal use of water and frees the land for another crop early in the growing season. Winter varieties do not flower until springtime because they require vernalization: exposure to low temperature for a genetically determined length of time. Where winters are too warm for vernalization or exceed the hardiness of the crop (which varies by species and variety), farmers grow spring varieties. Spring cereals are planted in early springtime and mature later that same summer, without vernalization. Spring cereals typically require more irrigation and yield less than winter cereals.

ReplyDelete29)LIBRARY
A library is a collection of information, sources, resources, books, and services, and the structure in which it is housed: it is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an institution, or a private individual.
In the more traditional sense, a library is a collection of books.
The term can mean the collection, the building that houses such a collection, or both.
Public and institutional collections and services may be intended for use by people who choose not to — or cannot afford to — purchase an extensive collection themselves, who need material no individual can reasonably be expected to have, or who require professional assistance with their research.
However, with the collection of media other than books for storing information, many libraries are now also repositories and access points for maps, prints, or other documents and various storage media such as microform (microfilm/microfiche), audio tapes, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, and DVDs. Libraries may also provide public facilities to access CD-ROMs, subscription databases, and the Internet.
Thus, modern libraries are increasingly being redefined as places to get unrestricted access to information in many formats and from many sources. In addition to providing materials, they also provide the services of specialists, librarians, who are experts at finding and organizing information and at interpreting information needs.
More recently, libraries are understood as extending beyond the physical walls of a building, by including material accessible by electronic means, and by providing the assistance of librarians in navigating and analyzing tremendous amounts of knowledge with a variety of digital tools.
The term "library" has itself acquired a secondary meaning: "a collection of useful material for common use," and in this sense is used in fields such as computer science, mathematics and statistics, electronics and biology.
An academic library is a library which serves an institution of higher learning, such as a college or a university — libraries in secondary and primary schools are called school libraries. These libraries serve two complementary purposes: to support the school's curriculum, and to support the research of the university faculty and students.
The support of teaching requires material for class readings, and for student papers. In the past, the material for class readings, intended to supplement lectures as prescribed by the instructor, has been called reserves. In the period before electronic resources became available, the reserves were supplied as actual books or as photocopies of appropriate journal articles. Traditionally, one copy of a book was made available for each 10 students — this is obviously practical for large classes only if paperback copies are available, and the books reused from term to term.
Academic libraries must decide what focus they take in collecting materials since no single library can supply everything. When there are particular areas of specialization in academic libraries these are often referred to as niche collections. These collections are often the basis of a special collection department and may include original papers, artwork, and artifacts written or created by a single author or about a specific subject.

ReplyDelete30)PLASTIC SHOPPING BAG
Plastic shopping bags, carrier bags, or plastic grocery bags, are a common type of shopping bag in several countries. Most often these bags are intended for a single use to carry items from a store to a home: reuse for storage or trash (bin bags) is common. Heavier duty plastic shopping bags are suitable for multiple uses as reusable shopping bags.
Plastic shopping bags are usually made of polyethylene. This can be low-density, resin identification code 4, or most often high-density, resin identification code 2.
Although often quoted as consuming oil resources, most plastic bags are actually made from natural gas
Although not in use today, plastic shopping bags could be made from Polylactic acid (PLA) a biodegradable polymer derived from lactic acid. This is one form of vegetable-based bioplastic. This material biodegrades quickly under composting conditions and does not leave toxic residue. However, bioplastic can have its own environmental impacts, depending on the way it is produced. Recyclability of this experimental material is unproven: resin identification code 7 is applicable.
Bags made of biodegradable polythene film, which decompose when exposed to sun, air, and moisture, and are also suited for composting have been proposed as an alternative to conventional plastic shopping bags. However, they do not readily decompose in a sealed landfill and represent a possible contaminant to plastic recycling operations. Resin identification code 7 is applicable.
According to the UK government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, there are several problems with plastic recycling, and in particular plastic bags:
* the high volume to weight ratio of plastic means that the collection and transport of this waste is difficult and expensive in England
* there are often high levels of contamination in plastic making the recyclate less usable, especially where food products are involved although material may be diverted to waste to energy plants

Yesterday i reading one journal about biodiversity,
The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. Almost all cultures have in some way or form recognized the importance that nature, and its biological diversity has had upon them and the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed and politics have affected the precarious balance. That all for to day thank you

(global warming)
-The world mostly agrees that something needs to be done about global warming and climate change. The first stumbling block, however, has been trying to get an agreement on a framework. In 1988, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was created by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meterological Organization (WMO) to assess the scientific knowledge on global warming. The IPCC concluded in 1990 that there was broad international consensus that climate change was human-induced. That report led way to an international convention for climate change, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), signed by over 150 countries at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992.
-For many years, large, influential businesses and governments have been against the idea of global warming. Many have poured a lot of resources into discrediting what has generally been accepted for a long time as real. Now, the mainstream is generally worried about climate change impacts and the discourse seems to have shifted accordingly. Even some businesses that once engaged in disinformation campaigns have changed their opinions, some even requesting governments for regulation and direction on this issue. However, a few influential companies and organizations are still attempting to undermine climate change action and concerns. Will all this mean a different type of spin and propaganda with attempts at "green washing" and misleading information becoming the norm, or will there now be major shift in attitudes to see concrete solutions being proposed and implemented?
Think about this!!!
thank you

We often heard that stress is bad for us, especially to our health. However, some stress is normal and even useful. It can help if you need to work hard or react quickly. But if stress happens too often or lasts too long, it can have bad effects. If you already have a health problem, stress may make it even worse. No matter what, stress is a fact of life especially for people nowadays. You may not be able to get rid of stress, but you can look for ways to lower it. Here are some ideas:
ReplyDelete• Make a schedule to manage your time.
• Take good care of yourself. Get plenty of rest. Eat well. Do not smoke. Limit alcohol intake.
• Try out new ways of thinking.
• Ask for help. People who have a strong network of family and friends manage stress better.
• Talk to your family members or friends, or even a counselor.
• Exercise.
• Write. (about the things that are bothering you)
• Let your feelings out.
• Do something you enjoy.

Get really curious about your memory? What do you find easy to remember? What do you tend to forget? Do your own patterns tell you anything about what is important to you and what is less so? Or what kinds of representation come most naturally and you store most easily? Or where your self-limiting beliefs are? Here, I want to move on to how we retrieve information to enhance our memory. To tighten your awareness of your own memory improvement system.
ReplyDelete1. We tend to find it easier to remember using certain preferred senses. (e.g. If you are strongly visual, you
can take a mental picture of their faces and perhaps see their names on their foreheads, or like a badge or
necklace close to their faces)
2. The more of your senses that are involved, the richer your internal representation and the storage will be.
(e.g. Anything memorable about the temperature, moisture and pressure of their handshakes)
3. Some things are best encoded using particular senses. (e.g. A good speller store mental "pictures" of how
the words look. When they need to spell the word, they refer to that internal picture to get the right
spelling)
4. People who are good at physical skills will tend to store information about them kinesthetically, and they
may not be able to explain what they do in words.
In another words, when developing your own memory improvement system, you can develop a facility with any of your senses if you practise. Conversely, imagine how strange it would be trying to learn a dance by reading a book about it, or learning to sing by looking at the pictures of people singing. You need the right tool for the job. So check if you have the right senses alerted for what you want to learn.

On September 18, the world's oldest man, Tomoji Tanabe celebrated his 113th birthday, telling the reporters at his home in Miyakonojo, southern Japan about his joyful life and healthy appetite. “I’m happy,” said Tomoji Tanabe as the local mayor presented him with flowers and a giant tea cup glazed with his name and date of birth. “I’m well. I eat a lot,” he added. Tanabe, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest living male last year, eats mostly vegetables and believes the key to longevity is not drinking alcohol. He drinks milk everyday and has no major illnesses. The Japanese are among the world’s longest-lived people, with the number of those aged 100 or older at a record 36,276. What about Malaysians? Most Malaysians died at a very young age, hardly more than 70 years old. Our lifestyles and eating habits play important roles in determining our longevity. As you can see, Malaysians’ favourite food are ‘nasi lemak’, ‘mee goreng’ and ‘pisang goreng’ for instance. All these are the unhealthy food which are very oily and high in cholesterol. Malaysians also like suppers. It’s no wonder that we, Malaysians had never had the chance to break the World Records as the oldest people living or rank in the top 10 list.

It is rare to find someone who will say that they are perfect. Most people simply believe that to think of themselves as perfect, means they are either an egotist or grossly immodest. When we are born, we are conditioned to strive towards perfection. And at the same time, as we grow, we know that we can never attain perfection as well. In other words, we are programmed and conditioned to strive for something that we can never attain. To determine if you are perfect, simply ask yourself “Is there anyone on this planet who is more perfect at being you than you are?” Definitely the answer is NO. Therefore, you are perfectly you! You are unique and there is no one else exactly like you. Perfection does not mean that people can’t make a single mistake. Perfect people are those who are doing the best they can with the knowledge and experience they have at the moment, and they are constantly striving to be better tomorrow than they were yesterday. However, many people will still resist and feel that only arrogant and egotistical people will say that they are perfect. In fact, egotists are people who think more of themselves than they should; they think they are better than others and they are self-focused. Modesty is about having a proper and balanced view of you. If you think poorly of yourself, you are not modest. So, thinking of yourself as imperfect is actually immodest.

We have all set a goal at one stage of our lives or another. Whatever it might be, we all experience different levels of success with accomplishing the goals that we succeed. With the abundance of goal setting books out there and the number of self help or motivational gurus telling you how to dream and achieve your goals in life, then why is it that so many people are still struggling to get what they want out of life. Below you will find some common reasons (excuses) given by people who fail to achieve their goals:
ReplyDelete1. “I’ll start tomorrow”. Stop putting off what should be done today for tomorrow because they only time you can control is now and the present so why not start today.
2. They take on too much all at once. People should get clarity in their life with what is important and focus only on achieving that goal till completion.
3. They don’t stick to their goal. People get discouraged with the fact that things don’t always go to plan. In fact, falling down is a normal part of learning. It’s only through our failures that we learn and grow.
4. They don’t have enough accountability. You all know that you work better when you have someone that you are accountable to. Make sure that person is supportive of your goals and can be strict with you to keep to your commitments. Better still if both of you have similar goals in mind.

How is it that we can't seem to think that something nutritious and healthy could in fact be tasty and enjoyable? The benefits of eating healthy and nutritious food are plenty. You will feel spry and lively again. You will lose weight. You will strengthen your immune system and stay well longer. You will lower your blood pressure. I could go on and on...
ReplyDeleteBelow are some suggestions that you could do to improve your eating habits:
1. Reduce the fat, especially the saturated fat and trans fat, which are mostly found in meat, cooking oil and
dairy products.
2. Eat fish at least twice a week (to get enough omega-3 fatty acids).
3. Eat a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, cereals and whole grain.
4. Make vegetables the main part of your meal. Rice, pasta, potatoes or couscous and beans are priority
number two.
5. Eat soy products regularly (e.g. tofu, tempeh and miso).
6. Drink at least 2 litres of water everyday.
7. Avoid intake of coffee and alcohol. Preferably switch to green tea.
8. Reduce intake of sugar. Don't use artificial sweeteners.
When you follow the steps above you will not need much meat. Protein can be added through beans, soy and seeds for instance. Of course, you can have that little special treat now and then. The idea is to enjoy and have fun! If you feel like a prisoner you will not enjoy your new habits. But remember, if special treats come too often, they are not special treats anymore.

ReplyDeleteYOUR BLOOD TYPE AND YOUR PERSONALITY
(Whatever your type, you’re our type!!)
WHAT DOES YOUR BLOOD TYPE TELL ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY?
In Japan, the question, “What’s your blood type?” is as common as “What’s your sign?” in America. Japanese researchers have found a link between blood types and personality traits. Compare your blood type with these profiles:
TYPE O
♦♦ you are a leader!
♦♦ You keep striving to achieve your goals.
♦♦ You’re a trendsetter, loyal, passionate, and self-confident.
♦♦But….you are also vain, jealous, and overly competitive.
An estimated 44 percent of the US population has Type O blood…with 7 percent having Type O Negative, the “universal donor” type…
Because it is the most frequently transfused type, Type O donors are always needed.
TYPE A
♦♦You are a “people” person!
♦♦You work well with others and are sensitive, patient, and affectionate
.
♦♦You like harmony, peace, and organization.
♦♦But…you are stubborn and find it hard to relax.
Approximately 42 percent of the US population has Type A blood.
TYPE B
♦♦You are a straight forward, rugged individualist who likes to do things on your own.
♦♦Creative and flexible, you are also adaptable.
♦♦But…independence can sometimes go too far and become a weakness.
In the United States, 10 percent of the population has Type B blood.
TYPE AB
♦♦You are a natural entertainer.
♦♦Cool, controlled, tactful and fair, you are generally well liked and you put people at ease.
♦♦Be careful, though, you can be blunt.
♦♦Also….make up your mind! You tend to procrastinate when it comes to decision making.

ReplyDeleteHere are some personality types that seem to work well on Twitter:-
1. The Informer- The informer shares various useful links that are usually attached to big news stories or solid social media articles. The informer may have written the article themselves or is promoting an article of another member on Twitter. By networking with other article writers the informer may get her or his article retweeted to a broader audience.
2. The Funny Guy- You can get lots of followers on Twitter by saying something funny or witty. Commenting on a news story is always fun. Today Blagojevich the Governor of Illinois got impeached so i joked that he was going to sell his impeachment. I got a few people retweeting that line.
3. The Pop Culture Guru- This is about having likes or dislikes on Twitter. Share it with the world. You can tweet about movies, video games, the new iPhone, whatever the topic there is most likely someone who shares that interest and may follow you to keep up a dialogue. Be genuine in what you are excited about in the realm of pop culture as this genre is filled with die hard fans that can spot phonies.
4. The Good Friend- If you see a person that retweets articles or sites follow them. They may retweet your articles and sites if you develop a relationship with them. You can even be a retweeter yourself. The more you help others the more good things come to you.
5. The Mom Blogger / Mom-preneur- If you are a mom blogger or business owner Twitter is the place where great friendships and networking can happen. Mom bloggers/entrepreneurs seem to “get” Twitter the best. They love responding and socializing with everyone and they always help promote one another. If you are a male befriend a few of them and they might let you into their spectacular inner circle. These ladies are smart, witty, and social media experts.
6. The Idealogue- Do you have a passionate belief in something that dominates your thought process? On Twitter there are so many users with such a wide variety or interests, that you can be a die hard follower of either political party for example, and still get tons of followers. Of course some who disagree with your views may stop following you but many more will follow you for your honest opinions. If you are a marketer or company with a specific target audience you might not want to go this route, as your opinions may hurt your business or brand.

STUDY TIPS
Where to Study
Although studying in a dorm room is convenient, it is often a poor place to learn. The dorm has a plethora of distractions including Blitzmail, Snood, the telephone, video games, friends down the hall. Lying down on the bed to read turns into an hour long nap and a bright yellow highlighter spot on your sheets!
If you want to improve your concentration and efficiency as a student, develop a place to study that is just that - a place where you go to work on academics. The campus is full of good spots to study. Experiment with what works best for you. The handout below provides a list of common study spots on campus and includes rankings of noise level, cleanliness, and availability.
How to Study
Many students are surprised at the differences in studying for college courses versus how they studied in high school. Regular worksheets are replaced by vast midterms and exams which require knowledge about concepts rather than simple memorization of facts. Students frequently discover they need to adapt their study habits to the college setting. Here are some tips for getting started:
* Study in chunks: 20-50 minute time periods followed by a brief break (5-10 minutes) is the most effective way to study
* Use daylight hours: an hour of studying during the day is worth two at night! Do the work that requires the most concentration (typically reading) earliest in the day.
* Rank your three classes and be sure to spend time on your most challenging class everyday and early in the day.
* Study actively: ask yourself questions, review your notes regularly, discuss key concepts with peers and course professor
The following documents provide additional strategies for general academic success and for specific subject areas including the sciences and writing.
Concentration and Memory
In order to combat forgetting, students need to review course materials regularly and purposefully. The following worksheets provide specific strategies for staying motivated, improving your memory and active review.

Sarawak's Festival
Sarawak has a wealth of festivals, from local versions of those celebrated internationally to a few homegrown ones unique to the State. A feature common to all is "open house" where friends, relatives and even strangers drop into homes from the Governor's residence to the most humble kampung house and are welcomed with food and drink.
>> Christmas
Since the majority of Sarawak's people are Christians, therefore Christmas is celebrated throughout the State. Unlike the West the festival has not become commercialized and there is no frenzied shopping. Rather it is a religious festival with the emphasis on church and carol services. In many centers there are interdenominational services, some of them held in the open air.
>> Hari Raya
Islam is Malaysia's State religion and Hari Raya, marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadan is the most important Muslim festival. For two days Muslims dress in their best, attend prayers at the mosque, give alms to the poor and visit and entertain at open house. Food and presents play a big part in Hari Raya celebrations. Visitors are offered curries and a variety of delicious cakes. Because the date of Hari Raya is determined by the lunar calendar, the Millennium year will see it celebrated twice, once in January and again in late December.
>> Chinese New Year
Sarawak is no exception with Hokkien, Teochiew, Foochow, Hakka or Kek all marking the most important date in the Chinese calendar. Food plays a big part in the celebration from the family dinners that mark the opening of the festival to the delicacies and cakes served to visitors at open house. Visiting children (and young unmarried people) are given Ang Pow, lucky red packets containing money. Red is everywhere, as the color is deemed auspicious. Lion Dances everywhere, with troupes from the local temple performing acrobatic feats to the sound of drums and cymbals to drive away evil spirits. Starting at the new moon the festival goes on for 15 days to the full moon. Chap go mei, which is the final day, is often called Chinese Valentine's Day for on this day unmarried girls go to the temple to pray for a good husband.
>> Gawai Dayak
Sarawak's very own festival on 31 May and 1 June marks the end of the rice harvest. During Gawai many urban dwellers return to their ancestral longhouse or village and take part in rituals that go back before recorded time. For days before, the women prepare banquets of traditional food and there is much brewing of tuak, the potent rice wine. This is a time for feasting, dancing and having a good time. It is also a traditional time for weddings and betrothals. Visitors are made welcome and this is the best time to see traditional longhouse life and ceremonies with the women dressed up in their exotic costumes.
>> Kaul
Celebrated by the Melanau community between mid-March and early April, Kaul is meant to appease the spirits of the sea at the start of the fishing season. These days, most Melanau are Muslim or Christian but the ancient Kaul festival has an enthusiastic following among both. Among the rituals is the launching of miniature wooden boats containing offerings for the sea spirits. The river mouths are closed and boats are not allowed to put out to sea for several days. The festival's highlight is tibou, a high-spirited but dangerous game where young men compete to see how many can swing from the end of a single 10-metre rope. The coastal town of Mukah is the center of the Kaul celebrations.

Effective Study skills are about more than understanding
Effective study skills must be practiced in order for you to improve. It is not enough to simply "think about" studying; you have to actually do it, and in the process use information from what you do to get better. This is the central idea of this page. All that follows depends on this single concept. There is a saying that goes like this: "Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect." If you want to be an achiever, take this saying to heart.

DENGUE FEVER
Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection that in recent decades has become a major international public health concern. Dengue is found in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world, predominantly in urban and semi-urban areas.
Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), a potentially lethal complication, was first recognized in the 1950s during dengue epidemics in the Philippines and Thailand. Today DHF affects most Asian countries and has become a leading cause of hospitalization and death among children in the region.
There are four distinct, but closely related, viruses that cause dengue. Recovery from infection by one provides lifelong immunity against that virus but confers only partial and transient protection against subsequent infection by the other three viruses. There is good evidence that sequential infection increases the risk of developing DHF
Job Interview Strategies for Teens :
ReplyDelete1)Know yourself. Before you even start the job-hunting process, take some time to put yourself under the microscope. The more self-aware you are, the more comfortable and confident you will be in job interviews. Ruiz suggests making a list of your strengths and abilities. Make another list of your achievements. Teen girls in particular may need to work on building confidence. “My experience with teenage girls, including a daughter, is that they tend to be very shy -- or painfully modest -- about their achievements,"
2)Think about yourself in relation to the job. "Read through the job description thoroughly so you know what they are looking for and the skills you possess that match,Then think about your personality and ask family and friends what they particularly like about you. Bring this information into the interview as well. It shows that you prepared yourself, that you are thoughtful and cared enough about the employer to bring them your best
3)Understand what employers are looking for.
4)Practice. Ask friends and family members to conduct practice interviews with you.
5)Plan to dress nicely and appear well groomed. Dress more conservatively than you normally would and even a bit more conservatively than the typical dress at the workplace at which you're interviewing.
5)Be prepared to be interviewed even when you're not expecting to. If you're cruising the mall filling out job applications, don't be surprised if some employers want to interview you on the spot.
6)Know what hours you can work, and prepare to be flexible. Consider school, homework, extracurricular activities, sports -- anything that takes up your time.

ReplyDeleteTAJ MAHAL
The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, that was built under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.The Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. Taj MAhal building began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, and employed thousands of artisans and craftsmen.History of Taj Mahal is the history of eternal love between Shah Jahan and Arjumand Banu Begum famous as Mumtaz Mahal who fell in love at first sight when they were at 15 and married at 20.The entire Taj Mahal complex consists of a number of buildings comprising of a mosque which stands to the west of the Taj Mahal is made from red sandstone, a guesthouse and the mausoleum, a long and beautiful walkway leads to the main mausoleum, four waterways divide the gardens that stand in front of the Taj into four parts and then, meet in a pool at the center.
The Taj Mahal attracts from 2 to 4 million visitors annually, with more than 200,000 from overseas. Most tourists visit in the cooler months of October, November and February. Polluting traffic is not allowed near the complex and tourists must either walk from parking lots or catch an electric bus. The Khawasspuras (northern courtyards) are currently being restored for use as a new visitor center. The small town to the south of the Taj, known as Taj Ganji or Mumtazabad, originally was constructed with caravanseirais, bazaars and markets to serve the needs of visitors and workmen. Lists of recommended travel destinations often feature the Taj Mahal, which also appears in several listings of seven wonders of the modern world, including the recently announced New Seven Wonders of The World, a recent poll with 100 million votes
The grounds are open from 6 am to 7 pm weekdays, except for Friday when the complex is open for prayers at the mosque between 12 noon and 2 pm. The complex is open for night viewing on the day of the full moon and two days before and after , excluding Fridays and the month of Ramzan. For security reasons only five items - water in transparent bottles, small video cameras, still cameras, mobile phones and small ladies' purses - are allowed inside the Taj Mahal.

Sexual abuse of children
ReplyDeleteSexual abuse can be physical, verbal or emotional and includes: sexual touching and fondling, exposing children to adult sexual activity or pornographic movies and photographs, having children pose, undress, or perform in a sexual fashion on film or in person, "peeping" into bathrooms or bedroom to spy on a child, rape or attempted
Child sexual abuse is the sexual exploitation of a child by an adult, adolescent, or older child. The sexual activity does not necessarily involve force; children are often bribed or verbally coerced into sexual acts. The difference in age and sexual knowledge between a child and an older person makes informed consent to sexual activity impossible.
Children are most commonly sexually abused by someone they know and trust. When these acts occur within a family, the sexual abuse is called incest. Since most children seek approval from adults, they are very vulnerable to abuse. They often do what is asked without questioning
Mat Rempit : What Malaysian should know
ReplyDeleteIllegal street racers, or in the well known names, Mat Rempit, is a serious issue that knock our country right now. Known for their kamikaze skills on the road, causing chaos in society, their unmannered attitude and the current is murdering people. Statistics shows that this group causes too many crime and problems. With their enormous amount, they felt like the road is belongs to them and nobody have any rights to punish them. This is why almost everyday we heard and see their actions and news on the media. Their popularity is equal to Mawi and Datuk Siti Nurhaliza until then, the film maker had decided to make film about them. So, as a Malaysian, what is our role in solving this issue? Do we need to blame themselves for all this or it is us who let this things happen? Let us see why this Mat Rempit issues happens and how we should solve it together.
As we can see, almost all of Mat Rempit is in the youth group. We should realize that in this stage, their thinking, attitude and action were influenced by their peers. They used to follow their friends rather than their own parents and teachers advice. This peer influence is very strong and sometimes dangerous if they follow the wrong path for example the illegal racing. This is why the amount of Mat Rempit is increasing from time to time.
Furthermore, the desire to try something new and challenging is one of the factors that lured them into the illegal racing. They felt that it is very admirable and outstanding if they can win the race or do suicide skills such as riding in the high speed or get away from the police road blocks. They love to break the laws since they think that it is just an amusement for them.
As a conclusion, what I can say is, action speaks louder than words. It is useless if we just babbling around and blaming them for all this problems although some of them caused some serious case. We should cooperate with government, politicians and NGOs to track back how this thing happen and find a solution to solve it. The Mat Rempit should be thankful for the government and society for not treating them like the snatch thief and the homosexual group although they have cause many problems. The government and society still can accept them as long as they want to change. We can see many campaign and approach for them right now. After all, this group is our country’s apprentice that will lead us in the future. If they are still like now and we are just blaming them, the one who are needed to blame is just our self.

ReplyDeletethe car which i need to discuss is volswagen.
According to VW officials interviewed by trade weekly Automotive News, the U.S.-market Scirocco would likely be sold as a specially equipped limited-edition model positioned above the GTI in power and price. It's basically the same approach the company took with the V6 all-wheel-drive Golf R32 of 2005, which sold out a 5,000-unit allotment, and the similar 2007 R32 that drew 1,756 U.S. sales. Because the new Scirocco was designed for American safety and emissions regulations, it could come here fairly quickly once VW gives the go-ahead. That could mean a 2010 model debuting as early as mid-2009.
I read an article on COFFEE....
ReplyDeleteAnd I found some interesting facts on coffee. The rarest coffee,Kopi Luwak, is found in Southeast Asia,specifically only in Indonesia.The coffee costs $300 a pound.
Other than that, the caffeine amount in a cup of coffee equals to 12 cups of hot cocoa or 5 cans of coke.
Further more,a coffee tree only produces 1.5 pounds of coffee per year.Plus coffee beans were chewed 400 years before the first cup of coffee was brewed.
wow.........
hello there Mr Suriya..the purpose we chose cars especially mercedes benz because we both like cars..benz is a elegant car..it have been for a long time so it suits the theme 'now and then'..plus this was the first time we were using movie maker..so we had some troubles..but i was fun and interesting..i think i would use it again..
ReplyDeleteso it will be the best future car for us..
i've read another article on how the world's going to end..it was predicted to happen on 21/12/2012..there are some interesting facts that lead to this prediction.
ReplyDeletefirstly,Mayans have did this prediction.Maya people were masters of mathematics and calendars and they were keeping track of time using three separate calendars. For predictions about the beginning and end of the “world” they used “Long Count” calendar. And on December 21st 2012, the Long Count will be at the point zero which Maya predicts as the end of time and beginning of the new world. The Mayas were very accurate in their predictions and they predicted invasions on their soil and the World Wars.
secondly,solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012.
and finally,Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang..
Use yogurt for outstanding skin texture. A traditional tonic for healthy skin, yogurt contains lactic acid, a naturally acid that will promote a smooth skin texture by gently peeling off the dead skin layer. Yogurt is especially beneficial for sensitive skin that cannot endure commercial alpha-hydroxyl acid preparations. When it is used over time, it can also lighten spots and even out an uneven skin tone. Here's a way to get these results for yourself: Apply plain yogurt like a cream to your washed face. Leave on for 15 minutes, wash off with cold water and finish with a moisturizer. Afterwards, to reduce any redness, apply a cold pack for 10 minutes.

ReplyDeleteTitle: The Lotus Eater
Synopsis:
Thomas Wilson is a strange person. He is a former bank manager who wishes to only live for twenty five years. He has enough money to live until sixty. Wilson wishes to enjoy his life amidst the beauty in The Island of Capri. But when his money finishes, he is not able to kill himself. He continues living in the cottage by borrowing money from his landlord. When he is told to leave the cottage, he attempts to kill himself. But he fails to do so and becomes ill. He is a changed person. His life becomes meaningless and he lives like a wild animal. In the end, he dies under the moonlight on the hillside.
From the short stories, I felt sympathy for Thomas Wilson because he is a passive person and he always think for negative. That why, moral values from the stories are:
1.It is important to appreciate the gift of life
The story teaches us to appreciate the gift of life. The gift of life is divine. As human we have a moral obligation to protect life and not to end it by committing suicide. Life is too precious and Wilson is unwise to want to end his life upon reaching the age of sixty. We must realise that it is important to live life to the fullest and not act as a coward by committing suicide.
2. It is important to have a vision in life
The story teaches us have a vision in life. Wilson’s life is empty, meaningless and miserable. He fails to be a success in life. He ends up as a pauper, shuns away from people, living life as if he is a wild animal. The story teaches us that life would be meaningful if we have a vision or ambition. It is important for us to develop ourselves as knowledgeable individuals who are able to contribute to the betterment of the self, society and country. In Wilson case, he has worked as a manager, is well-educated and should be able to lead a meaningful life. But, he chooses to leave everything behind and become a rolling stone which gathers no moss. In the end, he ends up living a pathetic life, and his life is meaningless. The moral of the story is to be positive-minded and have a vision to be a success in life.
3. It is important to be practical
The story teaches us to be practical and learn to solve problems carefully. There is a need for us to be realistic in life. It is important for a person to be educated, get a decent job and contribute to the betterment of society. This is the reality of living in a society. We cannot isolate ourselves and live life alone. No man is an island, thus we need to be part and parcel of society. Wilson behaves strange, living on his own, away from people and later, he avoids people. It is very impractical. It is important to know what is happening around us, living a meaningful and practical life.
4. The importance of being responsible
From the story we learn about responsibility. It is important to be responsible. Throughout the story, Wilson is irresponsible. He is not a very responsible person as he wants to live a meaningless life and is willing to end his own life. A responsible person will not be thinking of isolating himself. Moreover, a responsible person will not be thinking of committing suicide. Wilson is also not responsible as he cheats his landlady into believing that he will be getting some money soon. He borrows money from his landlord and does not repay him. He tries to kill himself by starting a fire inside the cottage. Instead of taking care and protecting the cottage, he behaves like an arsonist. From the incidents in the story, we learn that responsibility is an important virtue. It is trait that shows that a person is disciplined and can be trusted.

ReplyDeleteTitle: Looking For A Rain God
Synopsis:
The lands where the people live have always been lush with vegetation, figs and berries, flowering plants, and trees. Water has always been available to quench the thirst of the people and travellers alike. But all this changes, a seven-year drought casts its spell and soon the lands where the people live become dry. The moisture in the earth is absorbed by the immense heat of the blazing sun. There is no rain, and the people’s hope is dashed and they become desperate. The people plant their crops and wait for the rain to fall but there is no sign of the rain. They are driven by the despair, desperation and fear to do irrational things. In their desperation, Mokgobja reveals a tribal practice that would make the rain fall. The other adults soon perform the ritual to please the rain god to make the rain fall.
This is an interesting story that brings out the human dimensions especially those which deal with human sufferings, desperation and irrational actions. The story shows how tribal practices and irrationality cause two innocent children to lose their lives. From the story about, moral values are:
1. It is important to appreciate the gift of life
The story teaches us to appreciate the gift of life. The gift of life is divine. As humans we have a moral obligation to protect life and not to end it by committing suicide. It is also against the law to take one’s life or to kill others. In the story, two innocent and precious lives are lost because of an irrational act of sacrificing children. It is also a brutal act. Life is too precious. Mokgobja and Ramadi are sentenced to death for murdering the two children. The sentence is a stern reminder to others that it is against the law to carry out cold blooded murder in the pretext of tribal customs, rituals and cultural practices. The story teaches us to appreciate the gift of life.
2. It is important to discard cultural or tribal practices that are irrelevant
The story teaches to be realistic in life and discard tribal practices that are irrelevant or that bring harm to the people. The tribal practice of making rain by carrying out human sacrifice is irrelevant and against the law. The customs of the land during the earlier days are different from that of present time. In the story, modernisation and education have made way for law and order. The court and police are present to uphold law and order. In the story, the people believe in charlatans, incanters and with-doctors to help overcome their problems. The people use talisman and herbs to make their crops grow and the rain to fall.

It is important for a person to be able to handle situations even under trying conditions. This is the reality of living in a society. In the story, the adults are not practical and act irrationally. They think it is fine to kill the two innocent children. Mokgobja is over seventy years old and decides to take the lives of the two children to make the rain fall and for the adults to continue living. There is a need for us to find solutions to problems by thinking rationally and practically.
4. The Need for Proper Planning to Overcome Problem
The story teaches us that the forces of nature are powerful and that man is under their mercy. There is a need to overcome problems that are caused by the forces of nature. The story teaches us to be forwarding looking and to anticipate any calamities. There is a need to plan and have ways to overcome problems such as droughts or other natural phenomena. We cannot stop the forces of nature, but we can prevent them to cause serious damage.

Tittle: LOVE
hmmmm....
I guess most of this UMP students are in love. The proof is when we go to cafe, we can see many couples sitting dating. What is love actually?
Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my girlfriend"). This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and Platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

Taj Mahal
Hi...Now wanted to talk about Taj Mahal with all of u.
Taj Mahal was built by a Muslim, Emperor Shah Jahan (died 1666 C.E.) in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz Mahal at Agra, India. Taj Mahal (meaning Crown Palace) is a Mausoleum that houses the grave of queen Mumtaz Mahal at the lower chamber. The grave of Shah Jahan was added to it later.The Taj is the most beautiful monument built entirely of white marble. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon.
Taj Mahal was constructed over a period of twenty-two years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed in 1648 C.E. at a cost of 32 Million Rupees.
Emperor Shah Jahan himself described the Taj in these words:
Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator's glory.
Eventhough the poem is not as understandable, but I still can feel the love of that great emperor for his beloved wife whenever I see a picture of Taj Mahal.

Pyramid at Chichen Itza
Well, wanted to talk again about another wonder of world...
Here it is, the pyramid at Chichen Itza...
Chichén Itza, the most famous Mayan temple city, served as the political and economic center of the Mayan civilization. Its various structures - the pyramid of Kukulkan, the Temple of Chac Mool, the Hall of the Thousand Pillars, and the Playing Field of the Prisoners – can still be seen today and are demonstrative of an extraordinary commitment to architectural space and composition. The pyramid itself was the last, and arguably the greatest, of all Mayan temples.
That's all from me now... Meet you again in another comment about another wonder of the world..

The great Wall of China
Hello sir, guys and girls, i'm here again To talk about another wonder of the world.
The Great Wall of China was built to link existing fortifications into a united defense system and better keep invading Mongol tribes out of China. It is the largest man-made monument ever to have been built and it is disputed that it is the only one visible from space. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 6,700 kilometers (4,163 miles) from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2000 years, some of the sections of the great wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared.
However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur and historical significance.Many thousands of people must have given their lives to build this colossal construction. The mystery of the construction of the wall is amazing. The construction of the Great Wall, drew heavily on the local resources for construction materials, was carried out in line with the local conditions under the management of contract and responsibility system. A great army of manpower, composed of soldiers, prisoners, and local people, built the wall. The construction result demonstrates the manifestation of the wisdom and tenacity of the Chinese people.
Yes, it is the Great Wall of China. I wonder how many people should have give their life to bild that great great wall. Still wondering how the people of ancient China live in such a horror, I mean how they could obey so much to their king. In a way, it gives a oppurtunity to the world to see a grand architecture and a historical significance.

ReplyDeletehello everyone...
Petra is an archaeological site in the Arabah, Ma'an Governorate, Jordan, lying on the slope of Mount Hor in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. It is renowned for its rock-cut architecture. The Nabateans constructed it as their capital city around 100 BCE.
Masters of water technology, the Nabataeans provided their city with great tunnel constructions and water chambers. A theater, modelled on Greek-Roman prototypes, had space for an audience of 4,000. Today, the Palace Tombs of Petra, with the 42-meter-high Hellenistic temple facade on the El-Deir Monastery, are impressive examples of Middle Eastern culture.
The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced to the West by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was famously described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate prize-winning sonnet by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage." In 1985, Petra was designated a World Heritage Site.
Hmmm... finally, i finished my list of the wonders or world. By the way this is the last one. Petra(nice name indeed), is a town with and around there in the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Though the city was founded relatively late, a sanctuary existed there since very ancient times. Its really amazing to find out a very intelligent human being even in the stone age(i guess eighteenth dynasty og egypt is a stone age, isnt it?)...

ReplyDeleteThe ruins of Machu Picchu, rediscovered in 1911 by Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham, are one of the most beautiful and enigmatic ancient sites in the world. While the Inca people certainly used the Andean mountain top (9060 feet elevation), erecting many hundreds of stone structures from the early 1400's, legends and myths indicate that Machu Picchu (meaning 'Old Peak' in the Quechua language) was revered as a sacred place from a far earlier time. Whatever its origins, the Inca turned the site into a small (5 square miles) but extraordinary city. Invisible from below and completely self-contained, surrounded by agricultural terraces sufficient to feed the population, and watered by natural springs, Machu Picchu seems to have been utilized by the Inca as a secret ceremonial city. Two thousand feet above the rumbling Urubamba river, the cloud shrouded ruins have palaces, baths, temples, storage rooms and some 150 houses, all in a remarkable state of preservation. These structures, carved from the gray granite of the mountain top are wonders of both architectural and aesthetic genius. Many of the building blocks weigh 50 tons or more yet are so precisely sculpted and fitted together with such exactitude that the mortarless joints will not permit the insertion of even a thin knife blade. Little is known of the social or religious use of the site during Inca times. The skeletal remains of ten females to one male had led to the casual assumption that the site may have been a sanctuary for the training of priestesses and /or brides for the Inca nobility. However, subsequent osteological examination of the bones revealed an equal number of male bones, thereby indicating that Machu Picchu was not exclusively a temple or dwelling place of women.
Other than any, this wonder of world amazed me on the first sight. Maybe because I like cool places... Hearing the name also makes me laugh. What a name? HEHE... Don't have any idea about it because never heard about it before.. Now is the first time.. Even the real purpose of building this place is still not discovered but the skeletal remains there makes me scared.... Thank you...

future car:The Audi RSQ
ReplyDeleteThe Audi RSQ is a mid-engined concept car developed by Audi AG for use as a product placement in the 2004 sci-fi movie I, Robot. It is meant to depict a technologically advanced automobile in the Chicago cityscape from the year 2035.
This sports coupé is a visionary interpretation of Audi's typical automobile design. An important challenge presented to the designers was that despite its extreme character, the car still had to be recognised by the audience as an Audi. To accommodate this demand, the engineers implemented a current Audi front-end design which includes the trapezoidal "Audi Single-Frame Grille", the company's trademark overlapping four rings, and the Multi Media Interface (MMI) driver-to-car control system.
The RSQ also includes special features suggested by movie director Alex Proyas.Many think it utilizes spheres instead of wheels,but this is not the case, as underneath it is taken from an Audi A4. Its two reverse butterfly doors are hinged to the B-posts of the body.
Although this kind of collaboration was a first for Audi, a similar project was developed by Lexus for use in the 2002 film Minority Report
different about cricket and softball game
ReplyDeletebat softball
The bat used by the batter is made of metal, wood or composite materials (carbon fiber etc). It may be no more than 34 in (86.4 cm) long, 2.25 in (5.7 cm) in diameter, or 38 oz (1.08 kg) in weight. Also, in fastpitch a "drop" of no more than 12 is allowed. The drop is calculated by taking the length of the bat in inches and subtracting the weight in ounces. In fastpitch softball wooden bats are not allowed.
The essence of the sport is that a bowler delivers the ball from his end of the pitch towards the batsman who, armed with a bat is "on strike" at the other end.
bat cricket
The bat is made of wood and has the shape of a blade topped by a cylindrical handle. The blade must not be more than 4.25 inches (108 mm) wide and the total length of the bat not more than 38 inches (970 mm).
2. ball cricket
The ball is a hard leather-seamed spheroid with a circumference of 9 inches (230 mm). The hardness of the ball, which can be delivered at speeds of more than 90 miles per hour (140 km/h), is a matter for concern and batsmen wear protective clothing including "pads" (designed to protect the knees and shins), "batting gloves" for the hands, a helmet for the head and a "box" inside the trousers (to protect the crotch area). Some batsmen wear additional padding inside their shirts and trousers such as thigh pads, arm pads, rib protectors and shoulder pads.
ball softball
Despite the sport's name, softballs are not especially soft. The size of the ball varies according to the classification of play; the permitted circumferences in international play are 12±0.125; in (30.5±0.3 cm), weight between 6.25 oz (178 g) and 7.0 oz (198.4 g) in fast pitch; 11±0.125; in (29.7±0.3 cm), weight between 5.875 oz (166.5 g) and 6.125 oz (173.6 g) in slow pitch. Some balls have a raised seam, and others do not. The ball is most often covered in white or yellow leather in two pieces roughly the shape of a figure 8 and sewn together with red thread, although other coverings are permitted. The core of the ball may be made of long fiber kapok, or a mixture of cork and rubber, or a polyurethane mixture, or another approved material.
In 2002, high-visibility yellow "optic" covering, long-used for restricted flight balls in co-ed recreational leagues, became standard for competitive play. Yellow is the color of official NCAA and NAIA softballs. Yellow softballs are fast becoming the standard for all levels of play for girls' and women's play in particular. White balls are also allowed, but are much more common in slow pitch than in fast pitch.
In Chicago, where softball was invented, it remains traditional to play with a ball 16 inches in circumference. This larger ball is generally softer (sometimes called a mush ball). When using a 16-inch ball, the fielders do not wear gloves or mitts. A 16-inch ball is also used for wheelchair softbal
3.batting cricket
At any one time, there are two batsmen in the playing area. One takes station at the striker's end to defend the wicket as above and to score runs if possible. His partner, the non-striker, is at the end where the bowler is operating.
Batsmen come in to bat in a batting order, decided by the team captain. The first two batsmen – the "openers" – usually face the most hostile bowling, from fresh fast bowlers with a new ball. The top batting positions are usually given to the most competent batsmen in the team, and the non-batsmen typically bat last. The pre-announced batting order is not mandatory and when a wicket falls any player who has not yet batted may be sent in next.
If a batsman "retires" (usually due to injury) and cannot return, he is actually "not out" and his retirement does not count as a dismissal, though in effect he has been dismissed because his innings is over. Substitute batsmen are not allowed.
A skilled batsman can use a wide array of "shots" or "strokes" in both defensive and attacking mode. The idea is to hit the ball to best effect with the flat surface of the bat's blade. If the ball touches the side of the bat it is called an "edge". Batsmen do not always seek to hit the ball as hard as possible, and a good player can score runs just by making a deft stroke with a turn of the wrists or by simply "blocking" the ball but directing it away from fielders so that he has time to take a run.
There is a wide variety of shots played in cricket. The batsman's repertoire includes strokes named according to the style of swing and the direction aimed: e.g., "cut", "drive", "hook", "pull".
Note that a batsman does not have to play a shot and can "leave" the ball to go through to the wicketkeeper, providing he thinks it will not hit his wicket. Equally, he does not have to attempt a run when he hits the ball with his bat. He can deliberately use his leg to block the ball and thereby "pad it away" but this is risky because of the lbw rule.
In the event of an injured batsman being fit to bat but not to run, the umpires and the fielding captain may allow another member of the batting side to be a runner. If possible, the runner must already have batted. The runner's only task is to run between the wickets instead of the injured batsman. The runner is required to wear and carry exactly the same equipment as the incapacitated batsman. It is possible for both batsmen to have runners.
batting softball
The offensive team sends one "batter" at a time to home plate to use the bat to try to hit the pitch forward into fair territory. The order the players bat in, known as the "batting order", must stay the same throughout the game. Substitutes and replacements must bat in the same position as the player they are replacing. In co-ed, male and female batters must alternate.
The batter stands facing the pitcher inside a "batter's box" (there is one on each side of the plate). The bat is held with both hands, over the shoulder away from the pitcher. The ball is usually hit with a full swinging motion in which the bat may move through more than 360 degrees. The batter usually steps forward with the front foot and swings the bat.
Once the ball is hit into fair territory the runner must try to advance to first base or beyond. While running to first base, the batter is a "batter-runner". When she safely reached first (see below) she becomes a "base-runner" or "runner".
A batted ball hit high in the air is a "fly ball". A fly ball hit upward at an angle greater than 45 degrees is a "pop fly". A batted ball driven in the air through the infield at a height at which an infielder could play it if in the right position is a "line drive". A batted ball which hits the ground within the diamond is a "ground ball". If a batted ball hits a player or a base it is considered to have hit the ground

ReplyDeleteMount Everest
Mount Everest, also called Sagarmatha (Nepali: सगरमाथा meaning Head of the Sky) or Chomolungma, Qomolangma or Zhumulangma (in Tibetan: ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ, in Chinese: 珠穆朗玛峰 Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Fēng) is the highest mountain on Earth, as measured by the height above sea level of its summit, 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). The mountain, which is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal, and Tibet, China.
In 1856, the Great Trigonometric Survey of India established the first published height of Everest at 29,002 ft (8,840 m), although at the time Everest was known as Peak XV. In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society upon recommendation of Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India at the time. Waugh was unable to propose an established local name because Nepal and Tibet were closed to foreigners at the time, although Chomolungma had been in common use by Tibetans for centuries.
The highest mountain in the world attracts climbers of all levels, from well experienced mountaineers to novice climbers willing to pay substantial sums to professional mountain guides to complete a successful climb. The mountain, while not posing substantial technical climbing difficulty on the standard route (other eight-thousanders such as K2 or Nanga Parbat are much more difficult), still has many inherent dangers such as altitude sickness, weather and wind. By the end of the 2008 climbing season, there had been 4,102 ascents to the summit by about 2,700 individuals. Climbers are a significant source of tourist revenue for Nepal, whose government also requires all prospective climbers to obtain an expensive permit, costing up to US$25,000 per person. Everest has claimed 210 lives, including eight who perished during a 1996 storm high on the mountain. Conditions are so difficult in the death zone that most corpses have been left where they fell. Some of them are visible from standard climbing routes.
