On May 23, 1949, the British, French, and American zones became the West Germany whereas the Soviet quadrant became East Germany, the socialist German Democratic Republic (GDR).


The situation in East Germany was dismal. Food and resources were scarce. Millions of East Germans left their homes to move to the West. On April 1, 1948, the Soviet Union blockaded routes in and out of East Germany, causing food and fuel shortages. After the blockade was lifted in 1949, the number of East Germans migrating west increased.


Starting in 1952, East Germany tried to stop the exodus with fences, walls, barbed wires, and mine fields. By the end of May, the only way to get out of East Germany and escape to freedom was through Berlin.


As the final push in its effort to seal its borders, the GDR began to build a wall around the three western sectors of Berlin on August 13, 1961, using barbed wire and cinder blocks; these were later replaced with concrete, guard towers, electrified fences, and mines.


The wall slowed escape attempts. As many as 10,000 people tried to get over the wall—as many as 5,000 made it. 260 people died while trying to cross the wall between 1961 and 1989.

Mass protests against the East German government began in the fall of 1989, and Erich Honeker, the country's prime minister, resigned. On November 9, 1989, his replacement, Egon Krenz, decreed that East Germans would be allowed to apply for visas to travel to the West. Ecstatic crowds swarmed the city's checkpoints, demanding entry into West Berlin.


Gates along the Wall were opened, and Berliners united amidst celebrations on both sides. Crowds climbed on top of the wall and began to attack it with sledgehammers. In less than a year, the two countries were reunited.

Waiting On the World to Change

John Mayer


One, two, one, two, three

Me and all my friends

We're all misunderstood

They say we stand for nothing and

There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong

With the world and those who lead it

We just feel like we don't have the means

To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system

When we're standing at a distance

So we keep waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power

To bring our neighbors home from war

They would have never missed a Christmas

No more ribbons on their door

And when you trust your television

What you get is what you got

Cause when they own the information, oh

They can bend…

That's why we're waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care

We just know that the fight ain't fair

So we keep on waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

And we're still waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

One day our generation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer sciences that emphasizes the development of intelligence machines, thinking and working like humans. For example, speech recognition, problem-solving, learning and planning. It brings rapid changes and advancements to people’s life in a new level that hadn’t been imagined before.

The greatest advantage of artificial intelligence is that machines do not require sleep or breaks, and are able to function without stopping. They can continuously perform the same task without getting bored or tired. Siri is one of the most popular personal assistant. The friendly female voice-activated assistant interacts with the user on a daily routine. She assists us to find information, get directions, send messages, make voice calls, open applications and add events to the calendar. Not only smartphones but automobiles are also shifting towards Artificial Intelligence. The car has not only been able to achieve many accolades but also features like self-driving, predictive capabilities, and absolute technological innovation. The car is getting smarter day by day through over the air updates.

Another benefit of AI is when employed to carry out dangerous tasks, the risk to human health and safety is reduced. One of the best examples of robots keeping workers out of harm’s way is robotic welding. Repetitive manual welding is extremely hazardous to the human body. Dangerous fumes from metals and coatings can lead to serious illnesses. Some products contain lead or asbestos; and exposure can lead to emphysema, lung cancer and

even kidney failure. Along with the fumes, manual welding produces a lot of noise and intense heat. The loud environment can cause hearing loss and stress in the welder; while the heat can cause burns or heat exhaustion.

Artificial Intelligence is gaining popularity at a quicker pace; influencing the way we live, interact and improve customer experience. There is much more to come in the coming years with more improvements, development, and governance.

Dear Joanne,


I really want to thank you for all of the trouble you went to entertaining the entire family over the past holiday season.


I know that you organize these holiday gatherings because you enjoy doing it and you love to have everyone get together at your place. Nevertheless, I just want to make sure that you understand how much the rest of us appreciate everything you do to make these get-togethers happen.


Having helped Susan organize a few much smaller social gatherings over the years I know how much work is involved. I realize how much planning and preparation you must have to do each and every year so that the entire extended family and assorted friends and acquaintances have a happy and fun holiday celebration. It's amazing really, that you are able to do such a great job, year after year, in parallel with your other duties, both as a mom and an active volunteer worker!


So Joanne, on behalf of everyone I want to express my sincere thanks to you for all that you do to assemble and entertain us during the holiday season. You really are the glue that holds our extended family together!


With love and admiration,


John

The process of metamorphosis starts when a female butterfly lays her eggs, usually on leaves or stems of plants. Inside these tiny eggs, caterpillars grow. Depending on the species, the eggs can vary in shape and texture – they can be round, oval or cylindrical, and smooth, bumpy or wrinkled.

Once ready, the caterpillar leaves its egg home and enters the big outside world! During this stage, they shed their skin four or five times – as the caterpillar grows, its skin becomes too tight and splits open, revealing a new, larger skin underneath. A fully-grown caterpillar can be over 100 times larger than when it emerged from its egg.

Once fully grown, the caterpillar forms itself into a “pupa” (or chrysalis) – a kind of vessel in which the caterpillar changes into a butterfly. They usually do this on twigs or safe, hidden areas around the host plant. The “pupa” stage may last a few weeks to several months depending on the species. During this time, a hardened case forms around the pupa to protect it from predators and extreme weather conditions. And inside, the tissue, limbs and organs of the caterpillar transform. The result? A wonderful winged butterfly!

Once the butterfly is ready to emerge, the case around the pupa splits open. The butterfly waits for its wings to dry, and pumps a liquid called hemolymph into them so that they become big and strong. Once fit for flight, this brilliant bug then takes to the air in search for flowers to feed on and for other butterflies to mate with. And that’s the cycle complete – and ready to start all over again!

The French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique thrive on their image as idyllic sun, sea and sand destinations for tourists.


But few visitors are aware that these lush, tropical islands have a chronic pollution problem.

A pesticide linked to cancer - chlordecone - was sprayed on banana crops on the islands for two decades and now nearly all the adult local residents have traces of it in their blood.


French President Emmanuel Macron has called it an "environmental scandal" and said the state "must take responsibility". He visited Martinique last year and was briefed on the crisis on the islands, known in France as the Antilles.


The French parliament is holding a public inquiry which will report its findings in December.

"We found anger and anxiety in the Antilles - the population feel abandoned by the republic," said Guadeloupe MP Justine Benin, who is in charge of the inquiry's report.

"They are resilient people, they've been hit by hurricanes before, but their trust needs to be restored," she told the BBC.


Large tracts of soil are contaminated, as are rivers and coastal waters. The authorities are trying to keep the chemical out of the food chain, but it is difficult, as much produce comes from smallholders, often sold at the roadside.

Drinking water is considered safe, as carbon filters are used to remove contaminants.

In the US a factory producing chlordecone - sold commercially as kepone - was shut down in 1975 after workers fell seriously ill there. But Antilles banana growers continued to use the pesticide.

How to cook rice using Rice Cooker

Today, cooking rice is no longer a big issue since there is an electronic device which is designed to help us. We called it the Rice Cooker, Magic Com or Magic Jar. Here are the steps how to operate and cook rice with a rice cooker properly.

Wash the inner side of the cooking pot cleanly.

1. With a measuring cup. Pour in the rice and put it into the cooking pot. Give space for the expanding water and rice.

2. Rinse the rice

3. Fill the pot with water. Many people ensure the water is 1 cm above the level of rice

4. To make the rice stickier, steep it for around 30 minutes

5. Put the cooking pot with the rice and water inside it into the rice cooker

6. Plug the cable into the electricity socket and close the lid of the rice cooker

7. Press the “cooking” or “timer” button

8. Wait until it is done

9. Open the rice cooker lid and the rice may be served

Bullying in educational settings remains a commonplace everyday experience. The acts of bullying include a wide range of malicious behaviors, including physical violence, threats, verbal mockery, ostracism, and rumors spread toward vulnerable targets and typically repeated. Bullying among students is very dangerous. It can affect not only the students who get bullied but also the bullies, the witness of bullying, and the school itself as an educational institution.

The children and teenagers who get bullied might experience several mental problems, such as depression, anxiety, increased feeling of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep pattern, and loss of interest in particular activities that they used to enjoy. These problems may be carried away until they grow to be an adult. Besides, physical violence in bullying can lead to physical injuries.

The academic achievements of the victims will also get the impact. A UCLA study of 2.300 students in eleven middle schools in Los Angeles found that a high level of bullying was associated with lower grades across three years of middle schools. Students who were rated as the most bullied performed significantly worse academically than their peers.

Victims, however, are not the only ones who suffer from bullying. While victims often fare the worst on a variety of measures, pure bullies also experience difficulties. They are at increased risk of some mental health problems and are likely to encounter difficulty maintaining positive relationships as adults. More significantly, bullies are considerably more likely to behave roughly, get into fights, be engaged into vandalism, abuse alcohol and drugs, as well as being convicted of crimes.

Students who witness bullying have a big tendency to feel insecure when they are at school. They are also more likely to have mental problems such as depression, anxiety feeling, and traumatic feeling from witnessing the incident. Moreover, they are also at high risk of using drugs and alcohol to relieve their stress.

Ultimately, the school, where the act of bullying happens also can get the impacts. It makes the students feel insecure and creates a non-conducive school environment, which leads to ineffective teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, it makes morality education and spirit of learning at the school need to be questioned.

Based on several facts above, it is obvious that bullying among students is very dangerous. It can cause a physical and mental health problem, quality declining in academic performance due to the ineffective teaching and learning activities, and makes people doubt the role of the school in educating the students.


The text is important for the readers, because it … .

a)

tells why bullying happens at school

b)

c)

d)

Dear Friends:

As a number of you already know I have recently accepted a position with another company and will be leaving at the end of this week. Please consider this to be my sincere goodbye to each and every one of you.

I want you all to know that I am truly leaving here with mixed feelings; happy about my new career opportunity, but sad to be leaving such a great company where I have so many wonderful friends and colleagues. The last three years as a member of the Sys-Tech team was the best period of my career so far. I learned a great deal and worked with many people with whom I am sure I will remain friends for a long time. I can only wish that my new job will give me such rewarding experiences and supportive friends.

Thank you so much for making my time at Sys-Tech a truly enjoyable one. I invite any of you who would like to keep in touch, to speak to me before I leave on Friday and I will be happy to give you my new phone and e-mail co-ordinates.

My very best wishes for the future go out to each and every one of you.


Yours sincerely,


Jason Hurley

To accommodate the public on New Year’s Eve, the operator of Palembang’s light rapid transit (LRT) in South Sumatra will extend its operating hours.


The LRT, which usually operates until 8:25 p.m., will extend its services until 11:23 p.m.


“We will provide longer service hours to the people who will depart from and go to the Ampera Bridge. We are only extending the service until before midnight,” PT KAI Palembang spokesperson Aida Suryanti told The Jakarta Post on Saturday.


Aida said the city administration planned to organize a mass prayer as part of New Year’s Eve celebrations, adding that the event was expected to end at 10 p.m.


“It [the change of hours of operation] aims to accommodate people who will return home [from the prayer].”


On Dec. 31, PT KAI alongside the management of LRT Palembang will provide 20 additional departures, adding to the total 108 scheduled departures.


Aida said the last train would depart from DJKA Station at 9:41 p.m. before making stops at Jakabaring Station at 9:43 p.m., Ampera Station at 9:51 p.m. and the final destination of Bumi Sriwijaya Station at 10:00 p.m.


Meanwhile, on the opposite route, the last train will depart from Airport Station at 10:35 p.m. and will make a stop at Bumi Sriwijaya Station at 11:03 p.m. and Ampera Station at 11:11 p.m. before ending its service at Jakabaring Station at 11:21 p.m.


Palembang city administration spokesperson Amiruddin Sandy said the city would not organize an extravagant New Year’s Eve event, with only a prayer planned at Sultan Mahmud Badruddin Joyowikramo Grand Mosque. (mpr)

Dear Friends:

As a number of you already know I have recently accepted a position with another company and will be leaving at the end of this week. Please consider this to be my sincere goodbye to each and every one of you.

I want you all to know that I am truly leaving here with mixed feelings; happy about my new career opportunity, but sad to be leaving such a great company where I have so many wonderful friends and colleagues. The last three years as a member of the Sys-Tech team was the best period of my career so far. I learned a great deal and worked with many people with whom I am sure I will remain friends for a long time. I can only wish that my new job will give me such rewarding experiences and supportive friends.

Thank you so much for making my time at Sys-Tech a truly enjoyable one. I invite any of you who would like to keep in touch, to speak to me before I leave on Friday and I will be happy to give you my new phone and e-mail co-ordinates.

My very best wishes for the future go out to each and every one of you.


Yours sincerely,


Jason Hurley
