He is still one of the most recognizable men on earth. And decades after he burst upon
the scene as a gold medal winner at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy, Muhammad Ali
remains ainagical figure, known and loved throughout the world.
Ali brought new speed and grace to his sport, and his charm and wit changed forever
what we expect a champion to be. His accomplishments in the ring were the stuff of legend :
two fights with Sonny Liston, where he proclaimed himself "The Greatest" and proved he
was three ambitious wars with Joe Frazier; the stunning victory over George Foreman in
Zaire; and dethroning Leon Spinks to become heavyweight champion for the third time. But
there was always far more to Muhammad Ali than what took place in a boxing ring.
His early embrace of the Nation of Islam and his insistence on being called
Muhammad Ali instead of his "slave name," Cassius Clay, introduced a new era in black
pride. His refusal to be inducted into the United States army anticipated the growing antiwar
movement of the 1960s. And his willingness to stage his fights in different countries such as
Kinshasa, Zaire; Manila, Philippines; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; signaled a shift away
from super power dominances toward a growing awareness of the importance of the third
world.
Today, Ali is a deeply religious man who causes feeling of love and respect wherever
he travels.

I know there are many young men who would like to become astronauts, space
explorers or scientists, or, at least to work in a space program. But, to do so you will have to
prepare and to work hard. There is no other way.
In the space field, mathematics and science are of the most importance. These are
subjects to which future astronauts must pay special attention in school. I don't mean that the
other subjects are not important. It's important to know about this world and its problems
before you go off to other worlds. A strong foundation in mathematics and science is
essential to be an astronaut. One cannot do without a complete understanding of nature, and
of the earth. In space a slight mistake in mathematics can be fatal.
Self control, discipline and mental strength are very important requirements for an
astronaut. The good spirit of team work has to win over personal desires.
46. Why are mathematics and science the most important subject in the space field ........

Last autumn I was in India during Diwali, the “Festival of Lights” which takes place every year to
celebrate the victory of good over evil. This festival lasts for five days and is held at the end of October or in
the first week of November.
Preparations began weeks before the event. People cleaned their homes and painted wonderful
designs called rangolis on the walls and floors. They bought beautiful new clothes and jewelry to wear
during the festival. Women made delicious sweets which were better than any others I have ever tasted.
During the five days of Diwali, every home and temple was decorated, inside and outside, with
lovely clay lamps and colourful candles. After dark, the whole neighbourhood glittered with thousands of
tiny lights, as though in a fairy tale. Excited children set off firecrackers, and at first I was frightened by the
loud bangs, but the spectacular display was so fascinating that I soon joined in the spirit of celebration.
Diwali is a deeply moving festival. I am very grateful I had the chance to share in this celebration of
peace and harmony. I have fond memories of the experience, and in particular I will never forget how
friendly and generous people were.

Sung-Yow has a secret. He could paint a picture and make it come alive! This only
happened when the painting was finished. Sung-Yow loved to paint dragons. He left out their
eyes because he didn’t want them to come alive. In this way his secret stayed a secret.
The king heard that Sung-Yow was good at painting dragons. He asked Sung-Yow to paint
four dragons on a wall. In three days the painting was almost finished. The dragons looked like
they could jump off the wall. They didn’t jump because Sung-Yow had left out their eyes.
People came from far away to see the paintings.
“The dragons look so real,” they said.
“But where are their eyes?” they asked.
“If I dotted the eyes, the dragons would fly away,” said Sung-Yow.
Everyone laughed. No one believed him. Sung-Yow was not happy. This time he would
NOT leave out the eyes. He painted little black dots on two of the dragons.
Crash! Crack! the wall split open. Two dragons jumped off the wall. Sung-Yow went on to
become a very famous artist with a very famous secret.
In China when someone adds a finishing touch to a work, people might say “Draw Dragon

Mahogany
In the natural rainforest, Mahogany is a very large canopy tree, sometimes
reaching over 150 feet in height, with trunks sometimes more than 6 feet in
diameter above a large basal buttress. It is a generally open-crowned tree, with
gray to brownish-red fissured bark.
Mahogany is perhaps the most valuable timber tree in the whole of Latin
America and has been heavily exploited for most of this century. Mahogany is
becoming increasingly rare, and is already extinct in parts of its original range.
It is listed as threatened in "Arboles Maderables en Peligro de Extinción en
Costa Rica" and is listed in CITES Appendix III.
Mahogany varies from yellowish, reddish, pinkish, or salmon colored when
freshly cut, to a deep rich red, to reddish brown as the wood matures with age.
Mahogany is fine to medium texture, with uniform to interlocking grain,
ranging from straight to wavy or curly. Irregularities in the grain often produce
highly attractive figures such as fiddle back or mottle. Mahogany polishes to a
high luster, with excellent working and finishing characteristics. It responds
well to hand and machine tools, has good nailing and screwing properties, and
turns and carves superbly.
Mahogany is regarded by many as the world's premier wood for fine
cabinetry, high-class furniture, trimming fine boats, pianos and other musical
instruments, sculpture, joinery, turnery, figured and decorative veneer, interior
trim, and carving.

My Worst Mistake
Hi Diary,
I’ve just had the worst day ever! It all began at morning break. This
horrible boy came over and pushed me for no reason. When I pushed him back
I was the one who got into trouble. I was given a nasty note from Ms Thomas
to take home to mom.
Later when mum read the note she blamed me – she wouldn’t even
listen to my side of things. It’s not fair. Now I’m grounded for a month and all
I did was stick up for myself.
Still I have learned one thing today – violence won’t solve my problems
but telling tales just might!

Steven Paul Jobs was born on 24 February 1955 in San Francisco, California, to
Abdulfattah Jandali and Joanne who gave him up for adoption. He was taken in by Paul
and Clara Jobs, and grew up with them in Mountain View, California.
He attended Homestead High School in Cupertino California and went to Reed
College in Portland Oregon in 1972 but dropped out after only one semester, staying on
to "drop in" on courses that interested him.
He took a job with video game manufacturer Atari to raise enough money for a
trip to India and returned from there a Buddhist.
Back in Cupertino he returned to Atari where his old friend Steve Wozniak was
still working. Wozniak was building his own computer and in 1976 Jobs pre-sold 50 of
the as-yet unmade computers to a local store and managed to buy the components on
credit solely on the strength of the order, enabling them to build the Apple I without any
funding at all.
The Apple II followed in 1977 and the company Apple Computer was formed
shortly afterwards. By the time production of the Apple II ended in 1993 it had sold over
6 million units.
In 1985 Jobs was fired from Apple and immediately founded another computer
company, NeXT.
In the meantime, in 1986, Jobs bought The Computer Graphics Group from
Lucasfilm. The group was responsible for making high-end computer graphics hardware
but under its new name, Pixar, it began to produce innovative computer animations.
Their first title under the Pixar name, Luxo Jr. (1986) won critical and popular acclaim
and in 1991 Pixar signed an agreement with Disney, with whom it already had a
relationship, to produce a series of feature films, beginning with Toy Story (1995).
In 1996 Apple bought NeXT and Jobs returned to Apple, becoming its CEO. In
2003, Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent surgery in 2004.
Despite the success of this operation he became increasingly ill and received a liver
transplant in 2009. He returned to work after a six month break but eventually resigned
his position in August 2011 after another period of medical leave which began in
January 2011. He died on 5 October 2011.

on the way.
"Why walk when you have an ass to ride?" called out the husband, "seat the boy

Dear Sabrina,
Please let me express my deepest sympathies to you and the children. I was
shocked and shattered when I heard about Frank's horrific accident. I can't even
imagine what you have been going through for the past ten days.
As you know, Frank and I have been colleagues and friends for the past eight years.
His tragic loss leaves a terrible void in our office. He was so well-liked and
respected by everyone who came into contact with him, both colleagues and clients
alike. He had tremendous people skills, and as such, was a role model in our
company and the industry at large.
I trust that, when they are older, the children will be made aware of what an
outstanding person Frank was in his professional life.
Sabrina, please feel free to contact me if I can help in any way while you go
through this very difficult period. I will support you in any way that I can should
you reach out to me.
Also, please tell the children how terribly devastated all of us are here at the
company due to their Father's tragic passing.
Sincere sympathy,

"Don't eat just before going to bed!" my mother used to tell me. "You might get
a nightmare." How right she was. I never believed her until it happened to me.
It was on a night when I felt hungry just as I was about to go to bed. So I made
myself a peanut-butter sandwich and a large cold glass of milk. After
consuming them I went to bed.
Soon I drifted off into a troubled sleep. I dreamt that I was with a group of
people looking for an old woman. I was not sure why we were looking for her
but we all seemed afraid of her. Somehow we had to find her. So there I
was,searching high and low for her in frightful places I had never been before.
Sometimes I seemed to be flying while at other times I seemed unable to move.
The whole atmosphere was one of fear, like a dreadful horror-movie in which I
was a victim.
After some searching I entered a darkened room and saw a figure sleeping on a
bed. As I got nearer the figure suddenly threw away the blanket, got up and
stared at me. It was an ugly old woman with shiny golden teeth. She raised her
claw-like fingers and walked towards me.
I wanted to run but was unable to. I tried to scream but found that I could not. In
horror I struggled and struggled to get away from the frightful woman.
The next moment I gave a muffled yell and found myself panting on my bed.
My goodness, what a horrible nightmare it was! For a minute or so I lay on my
bed not daring to close my eyes for fear of falling asleep again and continuing
the nightmare. Then I sat up on my bed until the horrible feeling passed. From
then on I never eat just before going to sleep.

It was early in the morning we left Ubud and travelled to Gili Air which
is one of three islands of Lombok. It took 4 hours in total by boat. The
travelling was not bad but it was a hot day. I said to Jane on the slow boat " It`s
alright babe, it won`t be so hot and stuffy once we get moving.”
When we got to Gili Air it was still quiet so we were able to get a
bungalow near the beach for about $ 15 a night plus breakfast. We shared our
room with quite a number of geckos. Some of them were quite large ones.
The weather was still hot when I went diving. Jane waited for me at the
seashore. She observed some fishermen who had just caught some fish. She did
not want to dive because she had a trauma with sea animals. We had three days
here which we spent walking around the island which takes about an hour.
Every night, we sat on the couches near the beach and watched the waves and
the stars.
It was a fantastic journey that I ever had.

A man with his donkey carrying two sacks of wheat was on his way to the
market. After a little while he was tired and they rested under a tree.
When he woke up from his nap he could not see the donkey and started
searching for the donkey everywhere. On the way he met a boy, he asked the
boy, “Have you seen my donkey?” The boy asked, “Is the donkey’s left eye
blind, his right foot lame and is he carrying a load of wheat?” The man was
happy and said, “Yes, exactly! Where have you seen it?” the boy answered “I
haven’t seen it.” This made the man very angry and he took the boy to the
village chief for punishment.
The judge asked, “Dear boy, if you had not seen the donkey, how could you
describe it?” The boy answered, “I saw the tracks of a donkey and the right and
left tracks were different from this. I understood that the donkey that passed
there was limping. And the grass on the right side of the road was eaten but the
grass on the left was not. From that I understood that his left eye was blind.
There were wheat seeds scattered on the ground and I understood that he must
have been carrying a load of wheat. The judge understood the boy’s cleverness
and told the man to forgive the boy.
