King Midas and the Golden Touch

         Over two thousand years ago there lived one of the richest men on earth-a king whose name was Midas. Midas loved gold more than anything in the world except, of course, his young, blue-eyed, golden-haired daughter. Even when he walked among his rose trees in his garden, he wished he could turn all the roses into gold.

          Early one morning a god called Bacchus came to visit Midas in his palace. He came to reward Midas for a favor Midas had performed for him. Bacchus offered to grant King Midas whatever he wanted on earth. King Midas asked that everything he touched might be turned into gold. Bacchus rather unwillingly granted Midas his wish and vanished.

          Midas walked  around  the palace  grounds  very happily and lost no time in trying out his new powers.  He touched   the  smallest branch on  his rose tree. Immediately the branch turned to purest gold. He picked a rose and the rose also changed  to gold.  Midas was delighted. He quickly ran from bush to bush touching all the roses and turning them into gold.  When he surveyed   his golden rose garden he was filled with joy.

        It was now time for Midas's breakfast   and his servants set out a table covered with bread, meat, wine and all kinds of fruit. But when Midas touched a piece of bread it changed into a huge nugget of gold. Midas started to feel fear. He suddenly   realized he might starve to death. Unexpectedly,  the sound  of a child weeping  interrupted his gloomy thoughts. As he looked  up, his little daughter   came running  with a bunch  of golden  roses in her hand.  "Father!" she cried, "Someone   has killed our beautiful roses. They are now horrible  gold ones."  Weeping she flung  herself  into her father's arms. Midas bent down  to kiss her but found he now held only a golden  statue.

         Midas called  out to Bacchus  in the heavens,   "Bacchus have  mercy on me, forgive  me and take away this accursed golden  touch. I never  want to have golden  touch again."

         Bacchus  heard  Midas's cries and promised  to take away Midas's golden  touch. He told Midas to go to the magic river and bathe in its waters. Midas did so and he could  change his daughter and the other golden objects back to their original  state by sprinkling   the magic water over them.

Rocks

Rocks can be divided into three groups based on their method of information.

Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of igneous rock material. There are two types. There are the extrusive igneous rocks which form when lava cools above the Earth's surface, and the intrusive igneous rocks which form when magma cools below the Earth's surface.

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the solidifying of accumulated sediment. They can be clastic sedimentary rocks which are formed from sediment that has been produced by the sedimentary cycle, or non-clastic sedimentary rocks which are formed from chemical or organic deposits.

Metamorphic rocks are formed by the action of heat and pressure on pre-existing rocks. There are two types of metamorphic rocks. There are the contact metamorphic rocks formed when molten rocks comes into contact with pre­ existing rocks and alters it. There are also the regional metamorphic rocks which are formed over vast areas by sustained pressure and/or heat on pre-existing rocks.

        Martin had a boxful of toys which he would refuse to share with his playmates. They would often talk about his easy life and wished they had as many toys as Martin had. All such goodie things had spoilt him and he began to think too much of himself. He would look down upon his friends who did not have nice clothes to wear and lovely toys to play with.

        One day his friend Willie said, "Martin, I want to play with that ball of yours. "
         "Hey Willie, why should I give my ball? My mum gave it to me on my birthday."

         After some time, Martin had to leave the place. He moved to a far bigger town. Life in this city was very different, There were tall buildings, huge markets with dazzling light and broad roads with a fleet of cars running day and night. Here Martin felt like a frog that had not known life beyond its well He was lost in the crowd.

One day when Martin was sitting alone, his eyes fell on a face he knew well. It was Willie. He went to his small­ town friend Willie and said, "Willie, I'm Martin, your old playmate. I had refused to give you my ball But today I've come to seek your help."

       Willie was very happy. He was a simple boy and helped Martin. It was now that Martin. realized that there was nothing great about him.

Martin thought too much of himself till there was a small town guy who helped him. He realised that friendship is really important in this life.

Beetles

      Beetles are insects. They make up one of the biggest groups of insects. There are about 300,000 kinds of beetles. They live everywhere except in the ocean. You can find beetles in the house, in the yard, in the forest, even in ponds.

       Like all insects, beetles have six legs. They have two pairs of wings, but they use only the back pair of wings for flying. The front wings are like tough shields. They protect the beetle's body. Some beetles burrow underground. Some swim and dive.

        Beetles come in all shapes and sizes. Some are long and thin, others are round. Some are brightly coloured, others are dull brown or black. Some beetles are so small you can hardly see them, but the biggest beetles are as big as your hand.

       Many beetles hunt other insects for food. Other beetles eat plants. Farmers dislike some beetles because they eat crops. However, many beetles are useful, like the ladybug. It eats harmful insects. Some beetles help clear away nature's garbage. They eat dead plants and animals.

      Beetles have many enemies. Birds, reptiles, and other insects like to eat beetles. Most beetles try to escape by hiding or flying away, but a few beetles fight back. Some can bite. Others can shoot a hot spray of gas at an enemy.

       Beetles grow up in an interesting way. The female beetles lay eggs. The egg hatches into a larva. The larva has a hard covering on the outside of its body, The larva slips out of this covering several times as it grows bigger. This is called molting. After its last molting, the larva changes into a pupa. The pupa looks more like a beetle, but it is softer than an adult beetle. Some beetles spend a whole winter underground as pupas. Finally, an adult beetle crowls out of the pupa's dry shell.

        The largest family of beetles are the weevils, or snout beetles. They use their Long snouts to bore holes in plants. Leaf beetles make up another Large beetle family. One Leaf beetle pest is the Colorado potato beetle, which damages potato crops.

         Ground beetles often come out at night to search for food. Some roving beetles eat plants. Scrab beetles include dung beetles and tumble bugs. These eat balls of animal dung, or solid body waste.

         Two usual kinds of beetles are click beetles and fireflies. Click beetles jump or make a clicking sound if you try to touch them. The firefly, or lightning bug, uses chemicals in its body to make a glowing light. The firefly's light helps it attract a mate when it wants to breed. Some female fireflies are called glow worms.

Easter Island

Easter Island is in the South Pacific, 3,700 kilometres from the coast of Chile. On the island, there are 600 large statues. We don't know who built them but they were probably constructed between 1150 and 1500. We don't really know why they are there. The Norwegian explorer, Thor Heyerdahl, believed that they were built by people from South America. To prove this, he made a simple raft and sailed there, all the way from Peru.

Archaeologists think that the statues represent dead tribal leaders. We don't know why the statues left alone on the island. Perhaps they were killed by disease or war. Perhaps the builders used all the natural resources on the island. There are many unanswered questions about Easter Island.

. The first gave her some leftover food: the second gave her some unappetizing camel's tail: the third sheik, who was called Hakim, offered her some of the most tender and tasty meat. After dinner, the disguised queen left the sheiks' camp.

The following day the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She ordered her servants to give each one exactly what they had given her the evening before.

Hakim, who received a plate of delicious meat, refused to eat it if the other two could not share it with him, and this act finally convinced Queen Maura that he was the man for her.
  .
"Without question, Hakim is the most generous of you," she announced her choice to the sheiks. "So it is Hakim I will marry".

Bees

    Bees are useful insects. There are about 20,000 kinds of bees, but only honeybees make honey.

     Honeybees live in  groups called colonies. Each colony has one female queen bee, tens  of thousands  of worker bees,  and a few hundred males, or drones. Honeybees   live in hives. Inside their hive,   the bees make a honeycomb of  wax. The honeycomb   is a kind of bee apartment building,  full of six-sided   rooms  in which  the bees raise young   and store food.

     The queen bee lays thousands of eggs. Worm like larvae  hatch from the eggs. Each larva becomes a pupa,   which looks partly like a larva and partly like an adult bee. The pupa then becomes  an adult bee.  Worker bees feed the young,   clean and guard the hive;  and fly to and from  flowers.  They collect tiny grains of pollen  and a sweet liquid  called nectar for food. The pollen is food for young   bees. Worker bees use the nectar to make honey.  With­ out bees bringing pollen from flower to  flower, many plants could not make seeds.

    Queen bees and  worker bees  have stings. Workers   use their  stings  to  defend themselves and their hive.   A queen    uses their stings to kill other  queens.

    Most other kinds   of bees live alone instead of in  a colony. These bees make  tunnels in wood or in the ground. The queen makes  her own nest.

     People 'admire bees  for their  busy ways. People called beekeepers  keep bees for honey and  for the beeswax the bees use to build their honeycombs.

Electricity

    Electricity is one of the basic forms of energy. Electricity is associated with electric charge, a property ofcertain elementary particles such as electrons and protons; two of the basic particles that make up the atoms of all ordinary matter. Electric charges can be stationary as in static electricity, or moving as in an electric current.

    Electrical activity takes place constantly everywhere in the universe. 'Electrical forces hold molecules together. The nervous systems of animals work by means of weak electric signals transmitted between neurons (nerve celis). Electricity is generated, transmitted, and converted into heat, light, motion, and other forms of Energy through natural processes, as well as by devices built by people.

     Electricity is an extremely versatile form of energy. It can be generated in many' ways and from many different sources, it can be sent almost instaneously over long distances. Electricity can also be converted efficiently in to other forms of energy, and it can be stored. Because of this versatility, electricity plays a part in nearly every aspect of modern technology. Electricity provides light, heat, and mechanical power. It makes telephones, computers, televisions, and countless other necessities and luxuries possible.

Agricultural Machinery

     Agricultural machinery devices are used to till soil and to plant, cultivate, and harvest crops. Since ancient times, when first culture began cultivating plants, people have used tools to help them grow and harvest crops. They used pointed tools to dig and keep soil loosened, and sharp knife like objects to harvest ripened crops. Modifications of these early implements led to the development of small hand tools that are still used in small-stale gardening, such as the spade, hoe, rake, trowel, and scythe, and larger implements, such as plows and larger rakes that are drawn by humans; animals, or simple machines. Much of the world's arable land is still tilled under conditions that do not permit use of expensive modern machinery. However, modern machinery is used extensively in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Western Europe, and Australia.

     Modern large agricultural implements, adapted to large-scale farming methods, are usually powered by diesel - or gasoline - fueled internal-combustion engines. The most important implement of modern agriculture is the tractor . It provides locomotion for many other implements and tan furnish power, via its power shaft, for the operation of machines drawn behind the tractor. The power shafts of tractors can also be set up to drive belts that operate equipment such as feed grinders, pumps, and electric-power generators. Small implements, such as portable irrigators, are often powered by individual motors.

SOCCER

     The title above might be unfamiliar to you, but if I change it into football, you will know what is meant. It is one of the most popular sports in the world. It is a game played by two teams, each of which consists of eleven players. It is played outdoor on a football pitch. A football match is lead by a referee who is helped by two linesmen.

        Traditionally a team consists of a keeper, the last player who defends the goal and, prevents the opponent from scoring goals, two backs in front of the keeper, three centers in the middle of the field, and five forwards who are responsible for scoring goals in the frontest positton, Among those players only the keeper is allowed to keep the ball with his hands during the game, If the' ball is out of position. either on the left or right side, one of them accept the keeper must throw the ball into the field.

      There are some strict regulation that should be followed by the players. They are neither allowed to hit the opponent purposely nor do rude actions. An example of rude actions is an irresponsible sliding tackle. It happens when a player tries to prevent his opponent from moving further rudely . The referee will never tolerate the rude action and he will punish his team by giving a free kick to the opponent. If it is considered serious, besides a free kick for the opponent, the player will get a yellow card, or even a red card. The latter means that the player must leave the field Without being replaced. Another regulation is that fighting is prohibited, let alone hitting the referee.

     Every nation always tries to have the best team in the world and this must be proved in the World Cup event which is held once in four years. Brazil with its outstanding player, Pele, is the first country which has won and brought home the supreme World Cup three times. Other countries which also have good football teams are England, Italy, Germany, France, Argentina, Uruguay, and still many others.

    Football is usually played by men. Nowadays, however, there are many woman-football teams in the world. Football is also played by the blinds. People put some small bells inside the ball so that the players can hear and identify where the ball is. Some people say that it is not humane since the spectators are. amused and laugh at the, blind players movements. They propose that such a kind of game is banned forever.

     Have you ever heard about 'elephant football'? It has two meanings. Literally, it means a football game played by well trained elephants and figuratively, it is a football game where a strong team gives a big score to its opponent to help it join the next competition.

Land Transportation

     Transportation is carrying something or someone from one place to another. It plays an important role in people's mobility. Going to school, the office, business or other activities needs good transportation. If they cannot reach a place on time, they will have many problems.

      There are many kinds of transportation. One of them is land transportation. We can use animals (horse), carts, pedicabs or bicycles to go somewhere. These are called traditional transportation. We use these if the distance is not very far. If the place we want to reach is far, we can use modern transportation like motorcycles, cars, buses, trains, etc.

      People usually like to go by their own vehicle. It will be easier to go by their own motorcycles or cars, because not all places can be reached by public transportation.

     If the place is easy to reach or it is very far, it is better we use public transportation. Mini bus or city bus will take us to most places in a city. It is cheap and easy to use. However, if we want to go intercity, we should take a bus or train. Some people like the bus because they feel that bus is easy to catch and we can get off near our destination.

     Four of the fcimilies found that family life simply could not continue without TV, and they withdrew from the experiment. They said they could find no other way to spend their free time. Among these who successfully kept away from television, several interesting observations were reported.

    Some 'parents were glad to end the daily struggle among family members to decide what program to watch. In some families,"the family went to bed earlier. Family members found other things to do, such as reading or playing volleyball.Many families found that they had more time to talk and play among themselves without television. Dinner time was more relaxed without the pressure of television. Children's eyesight improved in several cases.

      On the other hand, some families said they greatly missed their favorite programs. A father in one family without television started gambling and another began to drink heavily. Some children found they had nothing to talk about at school they no longer' could talk about their favorite comedians, Singers or actors. Several mother found they had to talk about with their young children.

      At the end of experiment, most of the families wanted to the televiston back in their homes. But they said that in the future they would watch only certain programs and not allow their life to be governed by television.

Students First Days in School Need to Be Made Constructive

       In the past days and weeks schools across Indonesia have been opening up their doors again to receive students entering the new school year. Naturally enough, this has been a time of many trials and tribulations as existing students join new classrooms and new students try to find their way around a new school.

       Such times would be difficult enough for even adults. In adult life we need time to adapt to new settings and find our footing and direction to settle in and come to terms with what lies ahead. This kind of experience, difficult enough in adulthood, can prove extremely challenging for the, as yet, still young and forming hearts and minds of school-age children.

      During the first days back at school great opportunities exist to try to develop a sense of community that will help students settle in and have a firm foundation on which to build their studies during the coming year. There are almost constant complaints that there is too much to study for school students and yet time is, every year, wasted on negative and useless orientation day pranks and fooling around. Surely, when time pressures are of such a concern and teachers complain that they have too much to teach from the curriculum, the first days of school would be a great time to help students prepare for the challenges ahead. Constructive team- building and guidance towards much needed study skills would serve these students far better than nonsense tasks and ridicule.

        Schools should design these days carefully and not let them be so negligently and dangerously wasted. The benefits of good early learning experiences can be considerable and the duty that schools should exercise to consider a child's psychological welfare really have to leave little room in the first days of school for such waste and ridiculousness.

SOLAR ENERGY

     Solar energy is one great alternative for future energy sources. It is environmentally friendly and is renewable, thus making it an excellent energy source.

     According to the United States Environmental Protection Energy (EPA) enough sunlight reaches the earth's surface every year to produce approximately 1,00 times to amount of energy produced by burning all fossil fuels mined and extracted during the same time period.

     As with renewable energy system, the initial costs of setting up these solar energy projects is quite expensive. However, the saving on electricity bills in the long-term should make up for this and year after year, the costs of these solar energy are falling which will make it more affordable and widespread.

     Solar energy will also be powering some 70.000 homes and several hundred businesses in Britain soon after the government announced a £ 10 million investment into photovoltaic (PV) technologies over the next three years.

     Photovoltaic cells provide an unlimited supply of free power by converting sunlight into electricity using modem semiconductors. Vast arrays of these cells will be placed on roof and walls around the country to provide the buildings with a renewable source of energy for lighting, heating, and storage.

     Street lighting and traffic signal can also benefit for this power supply further reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and nuclear energy.

Pollution

     There are many kinds of pollution. They can be grouped into several major classification, of which we mention here: water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, and , radiation pollution.

     Airpollution is caused by car engines and by big factories with large chimneys through which dirty air escapes.

      Land "pollution can be caused by waste or rubbish such a paper, bottles, plastic, alumunium, scraps, junk, etc. Because of our carelessness and laziness, our surroundings are very dirty. They are filled with household as well as factory waste. Some waste can be broken down by natural organisms such a bacteria. Rubbish like this is called organic waste. On the other hand, rubbish which cannot be broken down by natural organism is called inorganic waste. This is more difficult to dispose of and it makes the surroundings very unpleasant to look at.

      Noise 'pollution can be caused by several things; loud music through loud speakers, the noise of motorized vehicles such as trucks, buses, motorcycle, and also air craft. Loud noise may cause deafness. It can affect the heart and cause nervous strain.

      Radiation pollution can kill many people in one moment. It is caused by uranium and other radioactive. The testing of atomic weapons is feared by people in general because atomic weapons are radioactive. These are a few examples of the different kinds of pollution in our lives.

Folktales - Lebai Malang

     Once upon a time, there was a man who lived on the bank of a river in Central Sumatra. His house lay between two villages. He was a religious teacher. His name was Lebai. He made a living both by teaching people and fishing. He was well-known by all in the two villages.

      One day, the richest families in both of the villages were giving a big party. Both of them invited him at the same hour of the same day. On the morning of the feast, Lebai was ready to attend one of the parties in his boat. However, a greedy thought struck him before he went. He could not decide which village to visit first. It was because the village in the North of the river slaughtered only one buffalo, while the other in the South of the river slaughtered two buffaloes.

     As the Northern village was nearer his house, he rowed his boat upstream to the North on the river. On his way he thought that people there did not know him well, so they would not respect him very much. He turned downstream. Because he would get much more respect-in the South, he could get two buffaloes' heads. He thought again that they could not cook very well. He kept thinking whether he should go upstream or downstream. He turned his boat upstream. When he nearly reached the place, he saw some people leaving the party. He turned his boat quickly downstream. Unfortunately, when he arrived there, he saw people leaving the house. He spent his time going upstream and downstream until the feasts were over; he got nothing.

     He felt weak; he paddled his boat slowly to his house. People had been enjoying delicious food and a pleasant day; but for Lebai, the day had ended in a great disappointment. He had an unlucky day, so he was called Lebai Malang-unfortunate Lebai.

The Old Javanese Song

Java
Sluku-sluku Batok
Batoke ela elo
Si Rama menyang kuto
Oleh-olehe payung monto
Mak jentit lo lo lo bah
Wong mati ora obah
Yen Obah medeni bocah
Yen urip golek duwit

English
Scratch your head
Shake your head
Someone goes to the city
The souvenir is a royal umbrella
Keep moving or you die
The dead can only lie
If you want respect
Work hard an earn money


     Long ago people in Central Java sang the above song, while they were playing under the moon light. It was called 'tembang dolanan'(game song). They were singing while sitting on the ground with their legs straight, while they were moving their feet up and down.

     The old Javanese Song says if someone studies hard and works hard he will get a job and he will be respected. The first three lines mean someone is cofused and decides to go to the city to look for work. Line four means he is successful and brings reward back. Lines five to eight say you have to keep trying if you want to be successful.

     Some of the folk songs of Indonesia give advice or guidance for lifes. It is important they survive because they are part of Indonesian culture.

Technique of Teaching

    The Silent Way is one of the effective language teaching techniques. It is pedagogical approach to language teaching based on the premise that the teacher should be as silent as possible in the classroom (about 90% of the time). The learners, then, are encouraged to produce as much language as possible. They have much time both to be exposed to the language and to perform practice.

     The learning hypothesis behind the Silent Way is that learning is facilitated if the learners discover or create rather than remembers and repeats what is to be learned. Also, students learn more effectively through problem solving involving the target language. It views language learning as a creative, problem-solving and discovering activity in which the learner is a principal actor rather than a bench-bound listener.

    Basically, in learning teachers prepare their students to have problem solving skill. And the Silent Way can be described as a problem-solving approach to language learning, and is summed up nicely in Benjamin Franklin's words:

    "Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember, Involve me and I learn."
    I conclude that the Silent Way is an appropriate language teaching technique.

Keong Emas

     Once upon a time, there was a king of the Antah Berantah Kingdom wishes Dewi Sekartaji became his wife. To do so, he kidnapped her. Fortunately, the God Narada saved Dewi Sekartaji by changing her into a golden snail: Keong Emas. The God told Keong Emas to drift along the river in order to find her husband, Panji Asrnoro Bangun.

     One day a poor old widow, Mbok Rondo Dadapan, who always fished along the river, found the golden snail and took it home. There, she put the snail in a jar and took good care of it. All of a sudden, unexpected good things took place in Mbok Rondo's life.

    Coming back from her daily fishing, she would find delicious dishes on the table and the house cleaned. She wondered who had been so nice to take care of her house and to do the cooking. When this went, on for several days, she could not resist the temptation to find out who the mysterious kind person was. So, one day, instead of fishing, she peeped through a hole in the wall of her house.

     To her amazement she saw a beautiful princess coming out of the jar and starting to clean the house and preparing a meal.

     The next day, the same thing happened. Without wasting any time Mbok Rondo rushed in to the house and smashed the jar. 'Homeless' Dewi Sekartaji could not tum back in to snail. She was then adopted by Mbok Rondo.

     Meanwhile, Raden Panji Asmoro Bangun searching for his wife, wandered from one village to another, finally reaching Dadapan where he found his beloved. Filled with happiness and love, they went back to their kingdom, taking along good Mbok Rondo.

Boxing - sport or spectacles?

     Boxing amongst  other hand to hand fighting, has been with us for thousands of years, Originally it was nothing more than bare fist fighting betWeen'two'wiliing, and sometimes unwilling competitors for  the entertainment of others. Some people argue that it is a relatively safe, disciplined, highly skilled, and technical sport that brings enjoyment and employment toa  great many people: Others claim that  is a dangerous and barbaric spectacle that has no place in the civilized world. This article will explore each side's claim in more detail. It will talk about the damage that can be inflicted when two. men stand face to  face with the sale' intention of knocking each other out with their fists, It will go on to argue that boxing, or  legitimate assault , has no place in the twenty first century. 

"The bell goes and the two warriorsapproach each other.They are quick. They are strong:They are hard. They are ready to hurt and be hurt.

A  left fist launches and connects with a nose. The crowds are on their feet. Cheering. Wanting more. Wanting blood.

So, boxing; what's it all about? AII animals, mostly the males, fight from time to time. Sometimes it's playing but at other times it's serious. Lot'sof people,including me, enjoy watching boxing.It is disgusting at times though especially when there's lots of blood and some boxers died in the ring.

In conclusion, both sides of the debatehave solid foundations. As' has been shown, the arguments for and against have been put forwardsince boxing began.And it Would seem, the argument will continue for at least the foreseeable future, as compromise seems unlikely. Both sides do agree, however; that the debate better held whilst boxing is licensed and controlled rather  than not. The latter would make it, in my opinion, both sport as well as spectacle

Seeing Hawaii in Cruising Style

      The Hawaiian language is based on five vowels and just seven consonants, but this is more than enough to utter the word "Aloha".

      This greeting written out in lights already welcomes those arriving at Honolulu airport, but it is in fact much more than a greeting or farewell.

        Aloha means love and well-being and somehow stands for everything that goes to make up the image of Hawaii, from colourful shirts, through flower garlands and grass skirts to coconut bikinis.

        Hawaii is the "Aloha State" and the 50th state of the United States of America.
A visitor to these islands in the middle of the Pacific feels immediately that he has one foot firmly anchored in the American Way of Life, and this is particularly true when he sees the islands from the vantage point of a cruise ship.

        "Aloha. How are you today?" is a frequently asked question on the "Pride of Aloha". The simple response, "Fine", or Mahalo in Hawaiian, suffices as answer.

        The passenger aboard the Norwegian Cruise Line vessel would have little reason to respond otherwise. At breakfast, travelers are greeted by mountains of ham and pancakes, and this is the pattern throughout the day.

       Most of the almost 2,000 aboard have their homes in the U.S. Midwest, where there is general scorn at the notion of going on diet.

        The Pride of Aloha bears witness to this attitude, consuming 9,700 kilograms of meat during the seven- day cruise – the equivalent of 700 grams per passenger per day.

        The Norwegian Cruise Line is no more Norwegian than the food aboard the Pride of Aloha is Hawaiian.

        The cruise ship belongs to Star Cruises, the third-largest cruise operator in the world, and the Pride of Aloha was built in 1999, initially bearing the name Norwegian Sky.
In 2004 it was converted for duty on the Pacific cruise route and is the first cruise ship to fly the U.S. flag in some time.

        A cruise aboard the Norwegian Cruise Line vessel is perhaps the most comfortable and by no means the most exclusive way to see Hawaii.

        A cabin with a sea view costs as little as 1,250 euros per person for the seven nights of the cruise. Included in the price is full board, a nightly entertainment program and transfers between the four most important islands of the Hawaiian Archipelago, Oahu, Kauai, Big Island and Maui.

        Honolulu on Oahu, where the cruise starts, has a population of 900,000 inhabitants and is the largest human settlement in the South Sea.

        Faceless apartment blocks turn into equally faceless hotel towers and shopping malls in the seaside resort of Waikiki.

        Thousands of Japanese bustle along the shopping streets of Kalakaua and Kuhio avenues. There is a reason for the crowds, the endless concrete and the activity: Waikiki Beach is perhaps the most famous in the world after the Copacabana.

        But anyone who gazes out over the blue ocean to watch the surfers ride the perfect waves knows why he has come to Hawaii. One hopes at the same time that the evidence of human progress will become less apparent as the cruise progresses while the beach remains as beautiful.

Mount Kosciusko

Mount Kosciusko is actually the highest mountain (2,228 metres) on the world's flattest and smallest continent, Australia. It does not rise up out of the surrounding countryside as do many of Indonesia's spectacular mountains. Elevation gain is minimal and the wide open terrain is scenic. In the winter there is deep snow on the upper parts of the mountain. The mountain is within a national park so no cars are allowed and the vegetation and wildlife is protected. Mt. Kosciusko was named by Polish explorer Paul Strzelecki in
1840. Actually, Australia does have some interesting mountainous terrain, including areas of the Blue Mountains, the crags of Tasmania, and even Mt. Townshend, a craggier peak about one kilometre north of Kosciusko.

Nuclear Power

There are three separate sources of haz- ard in the process of  supplying energy by nuclear power.

The   radioactive   material   must   travel
from is place of  manufacture to the power station. Altough the power stations   them- selves are solidly built, the container used for the transport of the materials are not. There are normally only two methods of transport available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of  these involve close contact withh the general public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even throught, heavily popu- lated areas.

Next, there is the problem       of   waste. All nuclear   power stations produce wastes that in most cases wi‟l remain radioactive for thousand of years, It is impossible to make these  wastes  nonradioactive,  and  so  they must be stored in one of  the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For exam- ple, they may be   buried under the ground, or dropped into abandoned  mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily, crack the containers open.

Finally, there is the problem of acciden- tal exposure due to a leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two hazards,  this is not very likely, so that is does not provide a serious  objection  to the nu- clear program. Nevertheles s, it can happen.

Sparately, these three types of  risk are not great  causes for concern. On the whole through,  the  probability of  disaster is still high.

Memories in a spin

             Many electronic devices use magnetism to store information, but now researchers at the National Institute for Materials Science, RIKEN and The University of Tokyo have paved the way for a new magnetic  approach that uses less power.

        Magnetism is generated by the properties of electrons. These spin on an axis like the Earth, but the direction in which they spin is changeable; in a magnetic material, the spins of most electrons are aligned with each  other. In one particular type of magnetism, electron spins align in a vortex pattern, a state known as a skyrmion. It’s this state that  could allow for more efficient digital storage.

        Magnetic  memories store information by switching the direction of electron spin – these switches correspond to the ones and zeros of digital information. Making these switches requires a relatively large amount of electricity, and if this could be reduced, memory devices would consume less power.

        Researchers had previously shown that  they could create a stable skyrmion in an iron- germanium alloy at near-room temperature – this is most often only possible at extremely low temperatures. Now, they have shown that  they can control this skyrmion using an electrical current that’s 100,000th of that  needed with a conventional magnet. This is the first step towards developing new memory devices that  use skyrmions to store information and that  consume very little  power.

Planning Lessons

• Planning is essential not just individual plans or short term plans but long term plans too. There are many reasons for this, including achieving aims, good timing, covering all skills, giving a variety of tasks and activities, reviewing and giving preparation for exams.

• Timing is an important aspect so you are not rushing either at the end of individual lessons to complete your daily lesson plan but also in the long term so that all topics have been covered adequately by the end of the term before the exam. Don’t forget to leave enough time for review.

• As you are planning, check that you are covering all the skills equally and not having too many lessons where perhaps writing or reading is the main skill.

• Try to make the topics as interesting as possible - include the students in some aspects of planning the lessons sometimes.

• As you plan you can also check that a variety of activities are presented. If you always give students the same type of task they will get bored and you are not giving them the opportunity to stretch themselves.

• Include a mixture of activities where students work alone, work in pairs and work in groups. Students need time to work alone sometimes to test themselves. Working in pairs helps students with self-correction and take some responsibility for their own learning. Group work gives students time to explore topics together and talk with confidence.

• Include games, songs and quizzes from time to time. Make them a reward or treat rather than in every lesson.

The grizzly bear

The grizzly bear lives in the uplands of western North America.   Grizlies are normaily solitary active animals ,  but in coastal areas the grizzly bears congregate alongside streams, lakes, and river during the salmon spawn   .   Every   other   year,   the   females (sows) produce one to four young (most commonly two) which are small and weigh only about  500 grams (one pound) . A sow is very protective  of her offsprings and will attack if she is being threatened.

Male   grizzly   bears   can   range   from weights of 180 to 680 kilograms (400 - 1,500 pounds) and stand  2,44 meters (8   ft) tall on their hind legs; the females are smaller. Their coloring ranges widely across geographic areas, from blond to deep brown or red. These differences, primarily due to the dif- ferent environments, particularly, witch re- gard to diet and temperature.

The grizzly has a large hump over the shoulders which is a muscle mass used to poser the forelimbs in diging. The hind legs are more powerful, howefer. The muscle in the lower legs provide enough strength for the bear  to stand up on its hind legs, giving it a better view of its surroundings. The head is large and round with a concave facial profile.

In spite of their massive size, these bears can run at speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour (25  miles per hour). However,  they are slower running downhill rather than uphill because of  the large hump of  muscle over the  shoulders.

About Eskimoes

       Eskimoes  live in a land where the winters are are long and very cold. During the short summer months,  they  live in perma- nent homes of stone or earth. However, their home are useless when the Eskimoes have to travel great distences to hunt for food. During such periods, they need temporary homes to live in the and the only available materials that the Eskimoes can use are ice and snow.

      Given the absence of the usual building materials, the indigenious Eskimoes have learnt to utilize the snow and convert it into a snug, warm shelter called an iglo. In the language of  the Eskimoes, the word „igloo‟ simply means house. The igloo is made of blocks of  hard packed snow fitted together to make a low, domed-shapped building. The blocks are cut out are cut out with a knife made from walrus ivory as snow does not stick  to  this  kind  of   knife.  Using  this method, an Eskimo takes only a few hours to build his home.

       Inside the igloo, it is warm enough for the family to take off  their outer fur clothing. A platform of snow , covered with fur and skins, serves as the family bed. During the  cold,  arctic  nights,  the  entire  family sleeps   together fopr warmth. Cooking is done on a stone stove or lamp that burns seal fat or blubber. A small opening at the top of the igloo lets the smoke out and the fresh  air in. Even though the air in the igloo may not be clear or pleasant-smelling, it serves its purpose as a warm, comfortable shelter for the Eskimo‟s family.

Do Women Deserve Higher Education?

The issue we are discussing is whether women need higher education or not. Some people think that there is no use for women to get higher education, for women main role is in their household and surroundings. Thus, knowing about practical household management is sufficient for women to lead their lives.

In addition, higher education does not ensure women to get better life, so why bother about this? There are many examples of women who are successful in their lives although they only enjoy average education. They succeed in managing their household, educating their children and participating in community activities.

On the other hand, some other people believe that women also have the right to get higher education. They claim that education is important for anyone including women, because it is one way to improve the quality of life. Therefore, every woman must get education as high as she can achieve.

A further point they make is that higher education is not just the matter of achieving a better position in community or working environment. More importantly, it is the way to empower women and to give them better understanding of life and universe.

In other words, women have the same right to get higher education as men do. However, it is also their right to take the chance or just to leave it.
