A kite is an object which is made from a light material stretched over a frame. Due to its light
material a kite will lift off the ground and fly when it is tilted into the wind.
A kite is uses wind to make it fly because it is heavier than air. When wind travels over the
surface of the kite, it is split into two streams of air. One stream of the air goes over the kite
while the second stream goes under the kite.
The upper stream above the kite. The lower stream hits the kite at a shallow angle and creates
an area of high pressure.
The high pressure area has a pushing effect while the low pressure area has a pulling effect.
The combination of push and pull can creates enough force to lift the kite into the air.
Kites have been known for thousand of years. They are used for military or scientific
purposes. Todays kites are much used for leisure and competition.
A cell phone is a great gadget in this modern world. What is a cell phone? A cell phone is
actually a radio in certain way. Like a radio, by a cell phone we can communicate to other
people in real time. Million people use cell phone for their communication. Even nowadays,
people use cell phones to communicate in voice, written and data.
Alexander Graham Bell is the person who make great change in the way people communicate
to each other. He invented a telephone in 1876. While wireless radio was formally known in
1894 presented by Guglielmo Marconi. By these two technologies, then a cell phone was
born. However do you know how actually cell phones work?
This short explanation on how a cell phone work is really wonderful. A cell phone or in long
term "cellular telephone' works by transmitting signals of radio to towers of cellular. The
towers are networked to a central switching station. The connection usually uses wire, fiber
optic-cables, or microwave.
Then the central switching station which handles calls in certain given area is directed
connected to the wire-based telephone system. Cellulars are pick up by the towers and
relayed to another cellular telephone user or the user of wire-based telephone network.
the towers vary in the capacity and capability to receive signals. Some can receive the signal
from short distance and the others can receive more distance. However, there are usually
more than one tower in certain given area so that the system can handle the increasing
telephone traffic.
ACID RAIN
Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air
pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a
pH value as low as 2.8.
Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have
lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain.
Acid rain comes from sulphur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulphur dioxide
(SO2 ). Most sulphur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulphur dioxide (SO2 ) and
most nitrogen are also emitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are
gases. The gases may be dry depositedabsorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the
surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for anytime, the gases will oxidise (gain an
oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2 SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides
will become nitric acid (HNO3 ). The acids usually dissolve in cloud droplets and may travel
great distances before being precipitated as acid rain. Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide,
ozone and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in clouds. More ammonium (NH4
) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralised by airborne ammonia
(NH3 ). Acidification increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+) ions dissolved in
acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car exhausts will react in sunlight with nitrogen
oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low-level ozone causes
respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the
ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and aluminium (Al). When it is washed into
lakes, aluminium irritates the outer surfaces of many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the
lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the effect of acid rain through damage to leaves,
through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the increased amounts of toxic metals
liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil micro organisms.
Discussion
Most people agree that some form of family limitation or spacing is desirable for the good of
the family and society. But individuals and groups especially religious groupsdiffer sharply
on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and acceptable.
Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space
their children or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so
that both partners can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give
each child as much attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctors to avoid
pregnancy for health reasons. In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the
government encourages couples to limit the size of their families.
Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice is continuous.
Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual relations outside marriage or that
government might impose birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral
grounds.
Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because they
separate the two purposes of intercourse in marriageconjugal love and the procreation of
children. Although they oppose all artificial birth control, they consider natural family
planning acceptable.

Employees work best if they are happy. As a supervisor, there are things you can do to
increase employees job satisfaction. Make sure your employees understand what they have
to do. Give them proper and thorough training so they can do it well, and give the
opportunities to bring that training up to date. Make sure that employees have freedom to
exercise their own judgment, to offer their suggestion, and to point out problems. Most of all,
make sure that you tell them they are doing a good job, not only during special assignments
but when they maintain a high standard of routine work.
