GREEN - GREEN GRASS OF HOME

GREEN - GREEN GRASS OF HOME

The old hometown looks the same

As I step down from the train

And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa

Down the road I look and there runs children

Hair of gold and lips like cherries

It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they’ll all come to meet me

Arms reaching smiling sweetly

It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house still standing

The paint is cracked and dry

And there is that old oak tree that I used to play on

Hair of gold and lips like cherries

It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me

At four grey walls that surround me

And I realized that I was only dreaming

For there’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre

Arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak

Again I’ll touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they’ll all come to meet me

In the shade of that old oak tree

As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home

The Cause Of Lightning

Lightning has been a mystery since early times. People of ancient civilizations believe angry gods threw lightning bolts from the sky. Nobody understood that lightning resulted from electricity until Ben Franklin flew a kite with a key dangling from the string, and it was struck by lightning.

In current times, it is known that lighting has a very scientific cause Generally, within a storm cloud, friction from water and ice-laden clouds creates a negative charge at the bottom of the cloud. When that charge grows too great for the air to hold it back, it is united with a positive charge from the Earth, creating a channel of electricity that flows between the two points. The charge remains invisible as it moves towards the ground until it meets the charge rising from the ground. Once they meet, a fifty thousand degree current superheats the air around the channel, resulting in an explosion of sound known as thunder. In fact, very recently it has been discovered that occasionally the positive charges appear at the bottom of the cloud, which are them met by negative charges from earth.

Generally, people are injured by lightning when they are in the open, near or in water, or near tall structures like trees. Golfers, swimmers, beach-goers, and outdoor workers are in greatest danger. The greatest number of victims are males, but it is believed that this is because males are more likely to be in the places where lightning strikes. When lightening is about to strike, one feels an odd, tingling sensation, and one’s hair stands on end. Of course, there is little change to do anything about it, because the full blow will occur within a second and be over in a couple of seconds. The victim may be thrown, lose consciousness, be burned, die, or suffer permanent injury. Some people recover completely, but others do not.

Motion Sickness

Motion sickness comes in many forms, not just seasickness. Ninety percent of the human race is susceptible to motion sickness of one kind or another. Some people become sick when they sit in back seat of a car, other cannot read or look at a map in any kind of moving vehicle. People get motion sickness on air planes, motorcycle, amusement park rides, and even on camels. Scientists have learned that motion sickness occurs when the brain is trying to make sense of a situation and there are too many conflicting messages. While the eyes are sending one message, the ears are trying to send a message about balance. The skin and bone joints, sensitive to air pressure, send another message.

Many people who got sick have experienced violent motion sickness try to avoid travel. But that is not always possible. So travelers should employ some well known strategies to avoid getting sick. The most useful strategy concerns food: eat a light meal before travelling and bring along a packet of plain soda crackers to snack on regularly. Avoid alcoholic and carbonated beverages, high-fat foods, and spices. Care in choosing the location of your seat is another important strategy. In a car, sit at the front and keep your eyes fixed on the horizon.

People who still got sick after trying these strategies can try medical help. Some rely on over-the counter medications, although some of them can make you sleepy. Others use simple ginger capsules to settle their stomach. A large number of travelers use pressure bands on theirs wrists. It is not clear how these bands work, but they do prevent motion sickness.

INDONESIAN NEWSPAPERS

Nowadays, there are a great number of newspapers published in Indonesia, almost in each province, one or more are circulated every day.

There are two kinds of newspaper. They are national and regional ones. The national ones report what happened in whole provinces and the regional ones report what happened in the certain provinces but both of them sometimes describe what happened in our country and the situations in the other country.

The arrangement of the newspapers generally consists of headlines, articles, classified ads and sports. The headlines usually inform the government programmer or the people’s life, the articles contain the people’s life, religion, law, crime and the others, classified ads often inform the people’s business and the sports inform a lot of kinds of sports which the people play and the names of sport men or sport women and their achievements. And the writing of the newspapers are not the same as the books. In one page is not full for one topic but more than one topics and it consists of columns. One topic can consist of one or more columns and if it is too long, it must be continued to another page.

Whatever forms and kinds of newspaper, the press must prepare the news as interesting as possible for the readers and don’t forget to do our president’s message that “Indonesia press must inform the development of information which is not contrary to Pancasila and UUD 1945”.

Although there are a lot of kinds of newspaper, all of them are important for us to read to get a lot of information and increase our knowledge.

Health

Vitamins are necessary for good health. Vitamin A promotes the growth of young animals and is essential to the proper development of their eyes. If you cannot see in the dark, perhaps you should drink more milk, which is rich in vitamins. Yellow vegetables like carrots also contain vitamin A. if you have trouble with digestion or if your appetite is below normal, you many need vitamin B. Among the foods containing this vitamin are eggs, green vegetables and meat. 

According to my druggist, liver, which contains vitamin B, is a safeguard against anemia. For an adequate supply of this vitamin, eat plenty of tomatoes. If you are susceptible to colds, vitamin C may help you resist them. In the spring or during the summer, you can get vitamin D by a trip to a sunny beach. Vitamin D, derived from sunshine and found in fish lives oils, prevents rickets. When you look at a meal, decide upon a well balanced mean fortified with vitamins.

How Old Is The English Language,,,?

Everyone knows how old they are when they are asked about their age, but it is hard question for almost everyone to answer ‘How Old Is The English Language?’. It is likely the same when foreigners want to know since when Indonesians speak Bahasa Indonesia. Maybe some of us will say since a long time ago, but precisely since when? Some of us will answer since ‘The Youth Pledge’. It means since 28 October 1928.

Historically, the English language is devided into three periods : Old English, from 800 to 1066. Middle English, from 1066 to about 1500 and Modern English, from 1500 to the present time.

Modern English is the English that native speakers have been using for the last 500 years. Modern English begin from the dialect that had developed around London by the end of the fifteenth century. It is now spoken by the British isles, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other areas.
