Sub: Introduction of hourly-rate employees

Effective July 10th, thirty new employees will begin working in our production plant on an hourly-rate basis. This is an experiment to determine whether hourly employment would give better results for all aspects of our enterprise. The new employees know that they are part of an experiment. Management encourages regular staff to discuss the program among themselves and with the new employees. After six months, we will assess the program to learn any lessons it may have for us. Meanwhile, we welcome staff comment.

It is in 1904, Lawang sewu is an ancient building which is famous for its exotic design as well as its mystical tales. This

From its luxurious architectural style to historical value, Lawang sewu has many stories to tell. It was established by Dutch to be used as the head office of railway company, Nederlandsch Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS) . But in 1942, this building was taken over by Japanese and turned into prison and torment place where many people died terribly. Due to its tragic history, no wonder the name of Lawang Sewu is always associated to the spooky haunted mansion among local people. Rumor has it that there are many ghosts sighting in this place.

.

Regardless of the notorious spine-tingling stories that are circulated, many people like to go there to take a pictures because of its resemblance to European Building which is considered to be unique in Indonesia. Semarang government also play role in making Lawing Sewu become of the most popular colonial nostalgia tourism. They have done their work very well by doing renovation without making any significant changes to its original architecture version.

What can be said about Lawang Sewu ?

Nuclear Power

There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by nuclear power.

The radioactive material must travel from its place of manufacture to the power station. Although the power station themselves are solidly built, the container used for the transport of the materials are not. There are normally only two methods of transport available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with the public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.

Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power station produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these waste nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily crack the containers open.

Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two hazards, this is not very likely, so that it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.

Separately, these three types of risks are not great cause for concern. On the whole through, the probability of disaster is still high.

All the statements are correct, except ……

Higher Education for Women

In this modern era, there are still some parents who are hesitant about sending their daughters to college. The narrow attitude shown to women’s education is largely due to the traditional role of women in society. A womanis expected to be a wife and a mother. Most parents believe that if their daughter gets married and does not pursue a career but instead chooses to be a housewife, then the higher education will be a waste. However, an educated woman is not only a better wife but also contributes to society.

Nowadays, more and more women are successfully combining career and marriage. Educated woman are richer both emotionally and financially. They are able to find an outlet outside the drudgery and monotony of their homes. They bring more satisfaction and contentment to their lives.

Depriving girls of higher education is crass discrimination. Times have changed; modern’s society needs the talents of its people regardless of gender. Today, women work alongside men. In fact, in the last few decades, women have made outstanding contributions to society.

Woman should be given the freedom to be educated whether or not they get married or go to work after finishing their education because it is only through education that a woman will find herself useful and discover what she wants in life. Women who workis not an insult to her husband. Conversely, her husband should feel proud of her achievements since marriage is actually an equal partnership.

Therefore, parents should not think that girls should receive less education just because they will get married one day.

What is the traditional role of the women in the society?

The importance of Reading

I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so? Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books, magazine, newspaper, etc.

Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any parts of the world which can we see directly.

Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.

The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book about Irian Jaya we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.

From the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information and also entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is truly important in our life.

Why is reading very important in our life? Because…..

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.

In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.

Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as cocoa beans.

The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It’s pure bitter chocolate.

On Wednesday, my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is not far from Malioboro.

On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahmana and Syiwa temples, because Wisnu temple is being renovated.

On Friday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky because we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our journey to Borobudur. We arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the announcement that Borobudur gate would be closed.

In the evening we left for Jakarta by wisata bus.

The text above mainly discusses about……..

A Trip to the Zoo Yesterday my family and I went to the zoo to see the elephant. When we got to the zoo, we went to the shop to buy some food to give to the animals.

After getting the food, we went to the nocturnal house where we saw birds and reptiles which only come out at night. Before having lunch, we went for a ride on the elephant. It was a thrill to ride it. Dad fell off when he let go off the rope, but he was ok.

During the lunch we fed some birds in the park. In the afternoon we saw the animals being fed. When we returned home we were very tired but happy. It was because we had so much fun activities at many places at the zoo.

Why did the writer and his family feel very tired after having a trip to the zoo?

Leopards live in many part of the world, from Siberia to Africa. They have a very beautiful yellow skin with large black spot. They live for about 15 years and eat small mammals such as young zebras, monkeys and deer. They sleep for about 12 hours a day. Leopards are very solitary animals. They spend most of their time alone in trees. They wait until a small animal passes. They jump on the animal and then pull it up into the tree.They eat it there.

We can not find many leopards now because people kill them. People kill them because their fur is beautiful and very expensive.

“Because people kill them”

The word THEM refers to….

If someone is having a nose bleed, your priority is to control the bleeding and keep their airway open. Get them to sit down (not lie down) as keeping the nose above the heart will reduce bleeding. Get them to lean forward (not backwards), to make sure the blood drains out through their nose every ten minutes, until the bleeding stops. Encourage them not to speak, swallow, cough, spit or sniff because this may break blood clots that may have started to form in the nose. If the bleeding is severe, or if it lasts more than 30 minutes, call for medical help. These are the purpose of the text, except…
