Some of the world's finest roads make use of bodies of water. They are called canals.

Canals are man-made waterways. They are usually straight and narrow. But they are filled
with water. They connect rivers and lakes, oceans and lakes, rivers and rivers, and oceans and
oceans so that boats and ships can go from one to the other.
Most canals are used for transportation. Barges, boats, and ships carry goods over canals.
Some are used to irrigate land or to carry sewage from large cities. Canals also reduce the cost of
shipping goods and offer travel short cuts.
Canals even go over hills and mountains. But you know that water can't flow up a hill; so
how can the water and boats in a canal go up a hill?
Something called a lock is used. It is a giant tank. The tank is big enough to hold a long
boat. The boat floats into the tank, and the doors behind it are closed to lock the boat in there.
Then more water is let into the tank. When the tank is full of water, the tank door in front of the
boat is opened and the boat floats out. The boat floats higher and higher as the water rises. It
floats either out into a higher part of the canal or into another tank or lock, which will lift it still
higher.
To go down the hill on the other side, the boat enters a lock that is full of water. As the
water is let out of the lock, the boat will float lower and lower. So locks make it possible for boats
or ships to move from one water level to another.

12. The Three Sheiks and Queen of Arabia
13.
14.
Maura, who liked to be thought of as the most beautiful and powerful queen of
Arabia, had many suitors. One by one she discarded them, until her list was reduced to just three
sheiks, all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard to decide who would be
the best of them.
15.
One evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the three sheiks, as
they were about to have dinner, and asked them for something to eat.
16.
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.
17.
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.
18.
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.
19.
"Without question, Hakim is the most generous of you," she announced her choice
to the sheiks." So it is Hakim I will marry."

Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, home heating oil, residual fuel oil
and lubricating oils, come from one source. Crude oil is found below the earth surface, as well as
under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25.000 feet
into the earth interior. Crude oil is obtained by drilling a hole through the earth, but sometimes
more dry holes are drilled than those producing oil. Pressure at the source, or pumping, forces the
crude oil to the surface.
41.
Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per hour.
Petroleum products very greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent, or opaque. Their
chemical compositions are made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form
compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in the union with the
hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these are
of such minute quantities that they are disregarded.
42.
The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and
condensing the vapors of crude oil. These products are called light oils such as gasoline, kerosene,
and distillate oil.

58. Mangrove Trees
59.
60.
A mangrove is a tropical marine tree or shrub of the genus Rhizhopora. Mangroves
have special aerial roots and salt-filtering tap roots that enable them to thrive in brackish water
(brackish water is salty, but not as salty as sea water).
61.
There are several species of mangrove trees found all over the world. Some prefer
more salinity, while others like to be very close t a large fresh water source (such as a river). Some
prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some species have their roots covered with sea water
everyday during high tide. Other species grow on dry land, but are still part of the ecosystem.
62.
Mangrove need to keep their trunk and leaves above the surface of the water. Yet
they also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves. There are
three types of mangrove roots that play an important role for it:
1. Support roots which directly pierce the soil.
2. Level-growing roots which twist upwards and downwards, with the upward twists emerging
on the water surface.
3. Level-growing roots whose downward twist (sub-roots) appear on the water surface. Any
part of a root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant under water surface.
As the soil begins to build up, these roots produce additional roots that become embedded
in the soil.

Is it important to know what your kids are watching? Of course yes. Television can
expose things you have tried to protect them from, especially violence, pornography,
consumerism, etc.
31.
A study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day
or at bed time often causes bed time disruption, stress, and short of sleep duration.
32.
Another research found that there is a significant relationship between the amount
of time spent for watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility
of being aggressive.
33.
Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV
a lot and being inactive and overweight.
34.
Considering some facts mentioned above, protect your children with the following
tips:
35.
1. Limit television viewing to 1 - 2 hours each day.
36.
2. Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their bedrooms.

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium, which is a metal mined in various
parts of the world. The first large-scale nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in
Cumbria, England, in 1956.

26.
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engines. Nuclear
power produces around 11 % of the world's energy needed, and produces huge amounts of
energy. It causes no pollution as you'd get when burning fossil fuels.
27.
The advantages of nuclear is as follows:
28. 1. It costs about the same as coal, so it's not expensive to make.
29. 2. It doesn't produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it doesn't contribute to the greenhouse
30.
effect.
31. 3. It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.
32. 4. It produces small amounts of waste.
33. 5. It is reliable.
34.
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and
buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away: Furthermore, although it is reliable, a
lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a
major disaster.
35.
People are increasingly concerned about this. In the 1990's nuclear power was the
fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowestgrowing.

Breaking and Entering is an unusual film. Will and Sandy are two architects working on
a major urban renewal project in the King's Cross section in London. The area is unsafe and
ready for such a project. Will and Sandy move their offices into a nearby vacant warehouse.
53.
Will has to deal with constant burglaries at his new office. One night, he saw Miro
trying to break into the building. He chased Miro to his run down apartment block and
watched him return home to his mother, Amira, a Bosnian immigrant who makes a living
tailoring clothes. Soon, Will 'meet' Amira and they begin an affair. And Amira learns that
Will holds the key of her son's future. How far will this mother go to protect her son?
Breaking and Entering is a very interesting film, it is almost entirely character driven. Tis is
not a bad thing although in the film we are exposed to a story or action driven.
54.
Anthony Minghella, the director, creates some of the most believable, interesting
characters these actors have ever played. It is almost painful to watch them on their
journey. Each of the characters makes decisions affecting how their lives will play out, or
change and these decisions and actions affect the story. The characters aren't reacting to
the story. They are changing it.

PHILIPPINES: At least nine people were killed and dozens were injured when the

their homes in the northern province, a police commander said Tuesday.

Gonzales. He added that the security only defended themselves after the residents dug foxholes
and opened fire with automatic rifles.
