The graph shows the water cycle in the nature. Firstly, the sun heats up the ocean
and mountains, where the water and other moisture evaporate and go into the air.
Then the water condenses into clouds due to the low temperature. Afterwards, the
cloud particles collide with each other and constantly expand due to the air
movement and become the precipitation falling from the sky. Together with the
melting snow and waterfall, this water will flow back to ocean and forest again.
Then this cycle starts again.
In cold winters, the water might form the snow while the snow melts in warm
weather generating water flowing back to ocean again.

Retell Lecture:
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter
keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the
complete works of William Shakespeare.
In this context, "almost surely" is a mathematical term with a precise meaning, and the
"monkey" is not an actual monkey, but a metaphor for an abstract device that produces a
random sequence of letters ad infinitum. The theorem illustrates the perils of reasoning
about infinity by imagining a vast but finite number, and vice versa. The probability of a
monkey exactly typing a complete work such as Shakespeare's Hamlet is so tiny that the
chance of it occurring during a period of time of the order of the age of the universe is
minuscule, but not zero.
But technologies can help monkeys to write. If the monkeys are given a pen and some
papers to spell the word monkey, they can only scratch on the paper. By contrast, if
they are given a typewriter, it will take them over 10 years to produce the right spelling.
However, if they can use computer programing, they can finish the task within a day.
2:
This illustration often used is the one that the monkey and the typewriters. OK, we have a
monkey siting at a typewriter and the claim here is basically if you leave chance in time
long enough you will get life. Dont worry about it, yes, its strange, yes its wonderful, but
leaves enough matter 600 million years on earth and you will have life. So, the monkey
sitting at the typewriter, the chances are eventually he produces the complete works of
Shakespeare but he doesnt manage to do it in 600 million years. So what I decide to do
is to run the numbers. I instead of saying typing the complete work of Shakespeare. I just
run the numbers for how long would it take a monkey typing one key striker a second. To
type to be or not to be that is the question, right? On average how long is it gonna take
my monkey friend one keystroke a second. I dont know how you think it would be. Maybe
you could have a guess. Would it be less or more than 600 million years, which is the
period life on earth isnt supposed to have emerge within and when I run the numbers to
be or not to be is the question takes 12.6 trillion trillion trillion years to type just that
phrase and a DNA string that something of that complexity emerges by chance
undirected within 600 million years? Again, it's mathematically possible but it's so
incredible unlikely that it would have that it tilts me in favor of the Christian story in which
God creating life, simply a question of saying let that be and there was.

Youve got sound receptors in your ear and they are beautiful. Were not going
to talk about them at any length, but theres little flappy, these little spiky things going
along in your ear and they can translate vibrational energy coming from your ear, hurting
your eardrum, being translated into a vibration into the fluid in your ear into a physical
motion of these little receptors there into an electrical motion, into an electrical signal that
goes into your ear.
So, all of that, all of thats pretty impressive stuff. Were not going to talk about the details
of it, but I invite some of you who want to learn more about this, particularly MIT students
I think find receptors really quite remarkable kinds of devices.

Napoleon III instructed Haussmann to bring air and light to the center of the
city, to unify the different neighborhoods with boulevards, and to make the city more
beautiful. It included the demolition of crowded and unhealthy medieval neighborhoods,
the building of wide avenues, parks and squares, the annexation of the suburbs
surrounding Paris, and the construction of new sewers, fountains and aqueducts.
Haussmann's work met with fierce opposition, and he was finally dismissed by Napoleon
III in 1870; but work on his projects continued until 1927. The street plan and distinctive
appearance of the center of Paris today is largely the result of Haussmann's renovation.
This lecture mainly talks about the renovation of Paris in 1890s. The
renovation was a vast public program commissioned by Napoleon the third and directed
by Haussmann. Napoleon the third instructed Haussmann to bring air and light to the
center of Paris and to drain the sewage. And he also asked Haussmann to plant more
trees, build roads and to make the city safer. The reason for doing this was that the old
Paris had many serious problems such as overcrowding, diseases and crimes.

: This lecture is about the darkness between the galaxies. The speaker first
mentioned a picture of galaxy that comes from NASA to explain the darkness between
the galaxies. This picture is copyright free and are used by websites, newspaper, and
magazines. Then the speaker mentioned the gaps between the galaxies are not dark, the
reason why we cannot see anything is because our eyes are not able to detect the
infrared light/low frequency light. Finally, the speaker mentioned that the darkness among
galaxies still remained mysterious to us that every scientist is trying to understand.

6. Welsh speaker
Welsh is a Celtic language spoken in Wales by about 740,000 people, and in the Welsh
colony in Patagonia, Argentina by several hundred people. There are also Welsh
speakers in England, Scotland, Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand.
At the beginning of the 20th century about half of the population of Wales spoke Welsh as
an everyday language. Towards the end of the century, the proportion of Welsh speakers
had fallen to about 20%. According to the 2001 census 582,368 people can speak Welsh,
659,301 people can either speak, read or write Welsh, and 797,717 people, 28% of the
population, claimed to have some knowledge of the language.
According to a survey carried out by S4C, the Welsh language TV channel, the number of
Welsh speakers in Wales is around 750,000, and about 1.5 million people can
'understand' Welsh. In addition there are an estimated 133,000 Welsh speakers living in
England, about 50,000 of them in the Greater London area.

The nutritional value of food can be measured on many different scales. The most basic
measurement scale is the free energy content of the food.
How much energy is released when chemical bonds within the food are broken?
The energy content of food is measured in calories, the amount of kinetic energy
required to raise the temperature of one ml of water, one degree C.
Food is burned under controlled conditions, breaking chemical bonds, and releasing
free energy.

13. Coffee
Colombia /
Coffee was introduced to Vietnam in 1857 by the French and slowly grew as
producer of coffee in Asia. The height of coffee production occurred in the early 20th
century as small-scale production shifted towards plantations. The first instant coffee
plant, Coronel Coffee Plant, was established in Bin Ha, ng Nai Province in 1969,
with a production capacity of 80 tons per year.
The Vietnam War disrupted production of coffee in the Bun Ma Thut region, the plateau
on which the industry was centered.[2] Although seldom involved in conflict, the area was
a crossroads between North and South and was largely depopulated. After the North
Vietnamese victory, the industry, like most agriculture, was collectivized, limiting private
enterprise and resulting in low production.
Following i mi reforms in 1986, privately owned enterprise was once again permitted,
resulting in a surge of growth in the industry. Cooperation between growers, producers
and government resulted in branding finished coffees and exporting products for retail. It
was during this time that many new companies involved in coffee production were
established, including k Lk-based Trung Nguyn in 1996 and Highlands Coffee in
1998. Both of these continued on to establish major brands distributed through a
widespread network of coffee shops. By the late 1990s, Vietnam had become the world's
#2 coffee producer after Brazil, but production was largely focused on Robusta beans-
considered inferior to Arabica due to their bitterness-for export as a commodity. Recent
government initiatives have sought to improve the quality of coffee exports, including
and specialty coffee such as kopi luwak (Vietnamese: c ph chn, "weasel coffee").
By 2000, coffee production had grown to 900,000 tons per year. Price decreases,
however, led annual production to drop to around 600,000 tons/year in 2003.[3] In 2009,
Reuters reported Vietnamese coffee exports at "an estimated 1.13 million tonnes" for the
previous year, stating that coffee was second only to rice in value of agro-products
exported from Vietnam.
The amount of non-performing loans or debts in the coffee sector likely to go unpaid
stands at 8 trillion dong ($379 million), which is around 60 percent of all loans for the
coffee industry in Vietnam
The lecture is about the changes that have taken place in coffee production.
As compared with , coffee production has increased to ( ). The huge
demand of Europe and America has made Vietnam the second biggest producer which
has greatly affected Columbias production. By contrast, the output of Central America is
witnessing drastic decrease. Apart from that peoples drinking habit is also undergoing
changes. For example
14. Frog
, limbs ,,
,
,
Adult frogs generally have a carnivorous diet consisting of small invertebrates, but
omnivorous species exist and a few feed on fruit. Frogs are extremely efficient at
converting what they eat into body mass. They are an important food source for predators
and part of the food web dynamics of many of the world's ecosystems. The skin is semi--
permeable, making them susceptible to dehydration, so they either live in moist places
or have special adaptations to deal with dry habitats. Frogs produce a wide range of
vocalizations, particularly in their breeding season, and exhibit many different kinds of
complex behaviours to attract mates, to fend off predators and to generally survive. Frog
populations have declined significantly since the 1950s. More than one third of species
are considered to be threatened with extinction and over one hundred and twenty are
believed to have become extinct since the 1980s. The number of malformations among
frogs is on the rise and an emerging fungal disease, chytridiomycosis, has spread around
the world. Conservation biologists are working to understand the causes of these
problems and to resolve them. Frogs are valued as food by humans and also have many
cultural roles in literature, symbolism and religion.

The Right Honorable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH,
FRS, PC (November 30, 1874 January 24, 1965) was a British statesman, best known
as prime minister of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. At various times
a soldier, journalist, author, and politician, Churchill is generally regarded as one of the
most important leaders in British and world history. Considered reactionary on some
issues, such as granting independence to Britain's colonies and at times regarded as a
self--promoter who changed political parties to further his career, it was his wartime
leadership that earned him iconic status. Some of his peacetime decisions, such as
restoring the Gold Standard in 1924, were disastrous as was his World War I decision to
land troops on the Dardanelles. However, during 1940, when Britain alone opposed
Hitler's Nazi Germany in the free world, his stirring speeches inspired, motivated, and
uplifted a whole people during their darkest hour.
Churchill saw himself as a champion of democracy against tyranny, and was profoundly
aware of his own role and destiny. Indeed, he believed that God had placed him on earth
to carry out heroic deeds for the protection of Christian civilization and human progress. A
Considered old-- fashioned, even reactionary by some people today, he was actually a
providential understanding of history would concur with Churchill's self-understanding.
visionary whose dream was of a united world, beginning with a union of the English--
speaking peoples, then embracing all cultures. In his youth, he cut a dashing figure as a
cavalry officer as seen in the 1972 film Young Winston (directed by Richard Attenborough),
but the images of him that are the most widely remembered are as a rather overweight,
determined, even pugnacious looking senior statesman as he is depicted to the right.

Lovins does not see his energy ideas as green or left-wing, and he is an advocate of
private enterprise and free market economics. He notes that Rupert Murdoch has made
News Corporation carbon-neutral, with savings of millions of dollars. But, says Lovins,
large institutions are becoming more "gridlocked and moribund", and he supports the rise
of "citizen organizations" around the world.
Lovins has received ten honorary doctorates and won many awards. He has provided
expert testimony in eight countries, briefed 19 heads of state, and published 31 books.
These books include Reinventing Fire, Winning the Oil Endgame, Small is Profitable,

Some mother rats spend a lot of time licking, grooming, and nursing their pups. Others
seem to ignore their pups. Highly nurtured rat pups tend to grow up to be calm adults,
while rat pups who receive little nurturing tend to grow up to be anxious.
It turns out that the difference between calm and an anxious rat is not geneticit's
epigenetic. The nurturing behavior of a mother rat during the first week of life shapes her
pups' epigenomes. And the epigenetic pattern that mom establishes tends to stay put,
even after the pups become adults.

3 Stages of Brain Development - Brain development during childhood, there are three
stages, starting from the primitive brain (the action brain), limbic brain (feeling brain), and
finally to the neocortex (thought brain).
Although interrelated, the three had its own function. Primitive brain functions to manage
the physical to survive, manage reflex, motor motion control, monitoring body functions,
and process information coming from sensing. Limbic brain functioning as a liaison to
process emotions and the brain thinks, and the primitive brain.
While the thinking brain, which is the most objective part of the brain, receiving input from
the primitive brain and the limbic brain. However, he needed more time to process
information from the primitive brain and the limbic brain. The brain thinks the merger is
also a place of experience, memory, feeling, and thinking ability to give birth to ideas and
actions.
Nerve myelination of the brain take place in sequence, starting from the primitive brain,
the limbic brain, and brain thought. Neural pathways are more frequently used to make
more myelin thicken. Increasingly thicker myelin, the faster the nerve impulses or signals
travel along nerves. Therefore, a growing child is encouraged to receive input from the
environment in accordance with its development.
A device that can convert wind to mechanism energy, which we can use the water power
pump or electricity generator. That the power the turbine creates is obviously depend on
the wind speed, it also obviously depends on the number of sails, the area of the sails and
the angles that the sails make to the wind. As bending the angle of the blades, the wind
hits them and could turn the blades. And you can use that for powering things. We could
make simple windmills to drive electronical devices.

They call it the "marshmallow test." A four- to six-year-old-child sits alone in a room at a
table facing a marshmallow on a plate. The child is told: "If you dont eat this treat for 15
minutes you can have both it and a second one." Kids on average wait for five or six
minutes before eating the marshmallow. The longer a child can resist the treat has been
correlated with higher general competency later in life.
Now a study shows that ability to resist temptation isnt strictly innateits also highly
influenced by environment.
Researchers gave five-year-olds used crayons and one sticker to decorate a sheet of
paper. One group was promised a new set of art supplies for the projectbut then never
received it. But the other group did receive new crayons and better stickers.
Then both groups were given the marshmallow test. The children who had been lied to
waited for a mean time of three minutes before eating the marshmallow. The group that
got their promised materials resisted an average of 12 minutes.
Thus, the researchers note that experience factors into a childs ability to delay
gratification. When previous promises have been hollow, why believe the next one?

It is wrong, however, to exaggerate the similarity between language and other cognitive
skills, because language stands apart in several ways. For one thing, the use of language
is universalall normally developing children learn to speak at least one language, and
many learn more than one. By contrast, not everyone becomes proficient at complex
mathematical reasoning, few people learn to paint well, and many people cannot carry a
tune. Because everyone is capable of learning to speak and understand language, it may
seem to be simple. But just the opposite is truelanguage is one of the most complex of
all human cognitive abilities.
