On Sunday‚ November 13‚ 1988‚ I made my first parachute landing from an airplane flying 12‚000 feet above ground. That weekend was very different for my friend Rondon and me. The previous day we left Sao Paulo very early‚ the city where we were studying our Masters Degree and traveled to Americana‚ a small town in the countryside located in the State of Sao Paulo‚ Brazil. When we arrived at Americana‚ about 9:00 A.M.‚ we went directly to the Marte camp‚ an area in the North side where there

We are surrounded by living and non-living things. All animals and plants are living things and biology is the study of these living things. A cat playing with a ball is obviously living. A pigeon flying from tree to tree is also a living thing. Sometimes it is not so easy to decide. Plants are living things but they do not play with balls or fly. If something is living it will carry out all of the seven activities shown opposite. Some non-living things show one or two of the seven characteristics

They said they heard a bloody scream from the north wing. Maybe the mouth from which the scream came‚ would be the source of the fires. There have been at least three fires this past week: one in the south wing‚ and two in the north. Silverwood Asylum had been abandoned for at least ten years. The police shut it down when they discovered that the doctors performed unruly experiments on the patients. When Silverwood first opened‚ they only admitted the worst of the worst‚ once a man who had murdered

Instincts Patrick seemed so destroyed that day. The bridge in his nose turned to the other side as one of the unknown‚ off-drifted man pushed an amount of punch against his face. It was very hard to see that eye to eye. It’s been a very crucial day for me‚ lots of unorganized and twirling ideas up my head that afternoon. I weren’t able to comply with my enough requirements and one of our subjects just freaked me out. Me and my partner decided to go to her house to finish such matter but suddenly

Irrational use of water resources - Water is the most important element of any creature’s life. A person can survive weeks without any food‚ but none can survive 3 days without any water. People waste water in their homes without even realizing it. We have become so accustomed to have a 24 hour supply of water to meet all of our needs from cooking‚ to cleaning‚ to drinking‚ that we sometimes forget that we do not have an infinite supply of water. Everyday water is wasted through leaky taps

A Message to All Earthlings from Your Friend Tudor the Just People of Earth‚ warmest and friendliest greetings! I am Tudor the Just and I come from Neptune‚ as you know if you have been watching the news. By the way‚ I want to congratulate all of your TV networks on their coverage of my landing.

It was a cold friday afternoon as I sat at the bus stop waiting to get home. I had just got out of an intense Friday lecture from the Northampton local Mosque. The Imam was furious and obviously disgusted at the behavior of our generation. "How do we live with ourselves" Imam Aseem Ibrahim had said. "Most of us have enough to feed ourselves and our family‚ even buy the latest gadgets just because we can but do we feed the poor? Do we clothed them?" He said in anger as he chocked on the words.

Hostel life is not without its disadvantages. The rich students get sufficient money from their parents and therefore spend lavishly. The poor boarders also urge their parents to increase their monthly allowance and spend their hard earned money on luxuries. The company of the rich also makes them pick up their bad habits. They start smoking. Some of them take to intoxicants and thereby ruin themselves. Another great defect in hostel life is the mismanagement on the part of the warden. The food

FREEDOM‚ A CAUSE for CHANGE Throughout history‚ the restless struggle for freedom has never ceased to be. This is a particularly sensitive issue‚ and we can’t deny that certain nations are ignoring it at a high level. It strikes us‚ nowadays‚ how we can still spot news headlines of public figures getting arrested because they are conceived as a threat to their country. The actual so-called threat is that those people were brave enough to express certain political opinions. Nevertheless‚ today
