Nowadays as the world heading towards 2020,most people are graduate students. From level of primary school to the phd level of the education,almost all people have an educational background .Today as the job demands are increased stifferly,peple need higher level of education compare to the other to compete them in winning a job.there are two causes of the educational that are related with economic growth.
First the demands of the market required people to study higher educational,as we know higher educational guarantee bright future and stable job when we become an adult.Futhermore ,almost all company nowadays prefer to hired an employee with high level education and in the same time involved in outdoors activities.T his is relevance reason why ministry of high education (MOHE) use to put 10% from co-curiculm subject in the certificate.Beside that the higher educational person with high quality will make economic movement become faster.
Second is the high cost of living make people especially undergraduate students who are realise this situation would force themselves to get the best result in education.beside that the higher interest of PTPTN caused student to study hardly to apply the scholar that offer by MARA or JPA.In directly they will become an effective worker when they work soon.So, this type if person can increase the movement of economic.
In a nutshell,graduate students play an important role to the economic growth of nation.Therefore government need to emphasize and allocate high budgets in education as it seem an investment in the acquisition of skills and knowledge which will provide long-term benefits and building towards an advance nation.

Past-vs-Present
Besides using calculator, abacus also can solve basic and advanced math problems with an understanding of the Abacus, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as square root, cube root and even bank interest. As example on November 12, 1946, a contest was held in Tokyo between the Japanese Soroban, used by Kiyoshi Matsuzaki, and an electric calculator, operated by US Army Private Thomas Nathan Wood. The bases for scoring in the contest were speed and accuracy of results in all four basic arithmetic operations and a problem which combines all four. The Soroban won 4 to 1, with the electric calculator prevailing in multiplication.
Previously, calculators were not allowed on standardized mathematics examinations even for blind students. In addition, talking calculaters were also not allowed on most classroom examinations as well. Therefore, blind students were at a distinct disadvantage if they did not have an equivalent to the sighted student's pencil and paper. In the end, only abacus can help them in any way.
In general, most of people thought that the abacus is not user-friendly. The abacus can be too difficult for some students however, the student needs and abilities must always be your primary consideration. However, before giving up, check to see if there is a better method of calculating on the abacus than the present one.

First of all is about the uses of these two bags. Plastic bags can be used for varied purposes such as to wrap food, store extra stuff while traveling, and to hoard wet or dirty clothes. They are also ideal as trash bags during journeys. Strength, durability, and variety are some of the advantages of plastic bags. In the other hand, paper bag are harder to store because of mildew and rot. They tear easily and therefore do not carry as much weight. They easily transfer roaches and other vermin from nasty grocery stores to your clean home.
The second issue is about pollution caused by these two bags. Heating wood chips under pressure makes paper bags. These chips are heated at high temperatures in a chemical solution. This solution uses toxic chemicals that can result in acid rain and water pollution. This is because millions of gallons of these chemicals are thrown in our waterways. Plastic also caused pollution from the process of degradable which produce tiny toxic particles that contaminate the soil and waterways and enter the food chain when animals accidentally ingest them.
Finally, another important issue is degradability. Recent studies have shown that paper degrades faster than plastic. This is because plastic does not decompose easily and most end up on landfill sites where they take around 300 years to degradable. This is the reason why throwing them away should be avoided. Paper bag take only few time to degradable rather than plastic bag.
In a nutshell, it will be good if we can think first before use paper bags and plastic bags in order to avoid pollution, ozone deterioration and other health and environmental hazards. By think rationally and wisely, a cleaner and healthy future for you and your family is on its way and also for the rest of the world and the coming generation.

Life before and after the invention of fast food
Fast food is the term given to food that can be prepared and served very quickly. While any meal with low preparation time can be considered to be fast food, typically the term refers to food sold in a restaurant or store with preheated or precooked ingredients, and served to the customer in a packaged form for take-out or take-away.
Before fast foods were invented, people usually eat at home. All the foods were homemade and far healthier. Home cooked food uses fresh vegetables, unprocessed meat and no dangerous chemicals added. By this way, their children gain enough nutrients to grow up. Furthermore, healthy foods will lead to a healthy lifestyle and that make our body more resistance to disease.
Since the fast food was invented, obesity became more common especially among the children in U.S. Fast food also well known for its addictive. Nowadays, people getting busier and eating fast food save more time than eating self-cook food. Besides that, they can get their foods in an instant. The downside of fast food is especially high in fat content, and studies have found associations between fast food intake and increased body mass index (BMI) and weight gain. It was found that the people who consumed higher level of trans fat developed more abdominal fat than those who fed a diet rich in unsaturated fats.
In general, try to balance fast food with other nutritious foods throughout the day and make healthier choices whenever possible. There are many healthy food choices that are easily available, tasty, and don't cost very much that can be eaten on the go.

Summary for Research on Advantages Volcanic Eruption
More than 350 million people around worldwide choose to live on or near active volcanoes.In Mexico,30 million people within sight of Popocatepetl.In southern Italy,near Naples,1.5 million people live on the slopes around Mount Vesuvius,still a very active volcano.Why do people take such risks? It is mainly because volcanic activity does have some benefits.There are some advantages from volcanoes that is fertile farmland and attraction to the tourists.
First of all, volcano eruption can be an attraction to the tourists. Although volcanoes are usually linked to death, destruction, and tragedy, they do have some often-overlooked benefits. In New Zealand, people often visit the hot mud baths of Raupehu. Mud pools are also an icon of New Zealand scenery. Monuments such as Mount Vesuvius and Mount Fuji are awe-inspiring symbols for their respective nations.Moreover,volcanoes can produce very spectacular scenery like the beautiful sunsets caused by explosive eruption.
Secondly,the after effect of volcanoes can help to fertile farmland.Over thousands of years,the lava that is spewed out during violent eruptions breaks down slowly to form very fertile soil,which can be very successfully used for farming. Hawaii’s pineapple and sugar plantations are found on volcanic soils.Some of the best rice-growing areas of Indonesia lie in the shadow of volcanoes.So too do the rich farming lands around Mount Vesuvius in Italy,where olives,vines,nuts and fruit especially orange and lemon are grown.The land is too barren to grow crops successfully.
In a nutshell,although volcanoes are one of the most destructive natural disaster,which endanger human life and usually linked to death, destruction, and tragedy, they do have some often-overlooked benefits.The people willing to take the risk because in the long term,the effect became benefit that help them much.From the lava and ash that contain minerals will be converted to a very fertile soil and can be an attraction to tourists.This advantages of volcano eruption increase the economy of a country and benefits to all.

Advantages of Volcanoes
Volcanoes are helpful, too. Can you believe it? The rocks produced from volcanic pressure form most of the ocean floor and continents. Early volcanoes produced steam that later became the water that we cannot live without, as well as the oxygen we need to survive. Volcanic ash and lava also form rich soil, while hot rocks heat underground water. In some countries such as Iceland, it forms hot springs. Engineers are trapping the steam heated by volcanic rock to produce electricity or heat cities.
Although volcanoes are usually linked to death, destruction, and tragedy, they do have some often-overlooked benefits. In New Zealand, people often visit the hot mud baths of Raupehu. More than eight hundred wells exist in Rotorua, a popular spot for those seeking hot water baths, large community swimming pools, natural hot-water tubs, hot-water-heated rooms, and steaming hot springs. The medicinal and health benefits of such relaxing spas are also highly recommended.
Volcanic ash also serves as a natural resource for construction and industry. Lava and tuffs can be cut into blocks and used as stone for buildings. Tuff can be cut into blocks that are used for building. They have enough strength for high buildings, stone walls, are lightweight, resistant to weathering, and good insulators. Fine-grained volcanic ash is used as a polishing compound, and can be found in toothpaste and household scrubbing compounds. Concrete, too, was discovered by Romans who mixed granular volcanic ash with lime cement to create a new, water-resistant material with superior strength. It was this substance that allowed the Romans to build fantastic edifices, water works, aqueducts, roads, harbors, underwater structures, and lighthouses. It is still used in concrete constructions today.
Cinder cones have also been mined as a source of construction materials. Pumice was used by Mediterranean peoples as an exfoliant scrub and abrasive cleaner. Obsidian, a shiny black volcanic glass, has been fashioned into arrowheads and knives, traded, quarried, and even used in eye surgery. Volcanic ash is used as a filler in adhesives, ceramics, bread, and ice-milk products. Volcanic ash is also a major ingredient in cat litter because it easily absorbs moisture.
Volcanoes are also a great tourist attraction. Such monuments as Mount Vesuvius and Mount Fuji are awe-inspiring symbols for their respective nations. Vesuvius was an important destination for artists, writers, poets, and dignitaries. Today, the Hawaiian volcanoes are a great source of tourism.
Geothermal energy is a constant but often under-utilized source of electric power. Environmentally friendly and renewable, this water can be used for growing fish, fruits, and vegetables; drying foodstuffs; and heating residential and commercial buildings. In Iceland, geothermal waters are even piped to homes for bathing and food preparation.
New evidence has also emerged that volcanic areas can be prime petroleum sources. Geothermal systems can also serve an important part in petroleum generation, migration, and entrapment. Many oil-bearing seafloor sediments have been found near hydrothermal vents at midocean ridges. Shell Oil Company also found much oil in volcanic regions in Nevada in 1954, leading to the discovery that volcanic ignimbrites are excellent storage spots for oil pools.
High-energy geothermal systems are also some of the most efficient natural concentrators of valuable ore minerals. Some hot springs in Waiotapu, New Zealand, contain large amounts of gold. At another hot springs, mercury condenses from rising steam at the bathhouses. Many metals, like gold, silver, copper, molybdenum, lead, and zinc have been found beneath such springs.
Volcanoes also bring diamonds up from deep in the earth. Other precious gems, like the red beryl, or "red emerald" is even rarer than a diamond, but can be found in the Wah Wah Mountains in the United States.
Volcanic soils are also some of the richest on earth, providing lush farmland. The best coffees are also grown in volcanic soils in a tropical climate, between elevations of 1,400 and 1,700 meters. These conditions are most commonly found on young, active volcano slopes.
Volcanic rocks are rich in nutrients needed by plants. They are so rich, in fact, that they are considered as "hard" fertilizer. These rich soils encourage farming, agriculture, and population growth.
The constant fall of volcanic ash is also ideal for preserving surface conditions at the time of deposition. Able to bury things intact without moving, crushing, or burning them, volcanic rock is an excellent source for fossils.

Once upon a time.............
Being the only person in the world to have ever had these two cancers, he really felt he should share his story to help motivate others and influence lives. On May 16th, 2002 at 9:32am, he became the first cancer survivor to summit Mt. Everest.
Since then, he have been lucky enough to reach the summits of three more of the world's seven highest peaks and have spoken internationally about his life and adventures to countless people and organizations. On the summit of Everest he brought a flag adorned with names of people who have been affected by cancer and left it on the top of the world forever commemorating the struggle of cancer patients worldwide.
He did the same to the highest point in Africa, Europe and just recently returned from 23,000-foot Aconcagua in South America! His ultimate goal is to climb the highest mountain on each continent AND trek to the North and South poles.
He is covering the globe with inspiration. There are plans for live chat sessions during the expeditions as well as TV spots and live summit bids from a number of the mountains! The reason for these expeditions is to inspire those affected by cancer (as well as anyone with a pulse!) to dream big and never give up.
The moral of the story is we should not give up in whatever thing happen to us................
