Failing is not Losing
There are few people who say "If you fail, you will losing all of
it" . At first, I thought that word is true. When I was form 2 I was in A
class. I am too lazy to study and too confident that I will get a high score.
On end-term exam, I cannot give such a perfect answer to get full marks and it
ends with being at B class when I went to form 3. I am so embarrassing to face
my classmate. After that, I remember the words that I always heard "If you
fail, you will losing all of it" , my heart start to felt that I cannot
get up anymore because I do not have a spirit to study anymore. I start to give
up at the beginning. One day, I watch anime because I do not want to study. The
anime calls 'Assassination Classroom'. On Assassination Classroom anime, there
are few students in Kunugigaoka Junior High school who are always getting the
lowest score on test and exam, so they end up on E class which it calls 'End
Class'. Even they were in End class, they do not give up on studying. At the
end, they all get top 50 on end-term exam semester 2. I am so curious why they
still do not give up even they being at E class. Their studying spirit makes me
move on. On that time, I start to think "What will happen if I do the same
thing like them?". I always thinking about it every time and I decide to
start studying with all my best. March test will begin, teachers starts to
distribute the test paper. When the test starts, I am too afraid to answer it,
I cannot stop shaking. I start to think negative things will happen to me. I
felt like I want to run away because I am too afraid that I will fail again.
Suddenly, I remember something that makes me stop shaking "You cannot
change the choice you made, all you can do is not let it ruin you". I know
that words from one of E class who are the smartest, Karma Akabane. After that
,I try to calm myself and start to answer all the question with all my best. After
the test is over, I got number 1 in my class, I am too shocked when I knew it. At that time,
I started to realize that "If you fail, you will losing all of it" is
not true and started to think that "Failing is not losing".

Letter to my Teacher
Dear Teacher
Azlina,
How are you teacher? It is been awhile
since I meet you as my English teacher when I was year 5. I heard that you are
at Pulau Pinang right now, is it a good place? I never go to Pulau Pinang
before so I do not know about Pulau Pinang that much. However Hanis told me that
you had new baby yesterday. Is it a baby boy? Or baby girl? What his/her name?
congratulation by the way. Teacher do you still remember that you make an extra class for
me? You teach me many things that I do not know.
Apart of that, you told me that the world was not big to run away. Because of you, I easily opened my eyes to be
what I could be, what I could do in a way that I’ve never thought possible. You
have changed my whole aspect on my learning. You are the best English teacher
ever, thank you for being my teacher.
sincerely
Your student

The movie that I like
Plot
The story is set in mid-19th century
in Siam,
during the King
Mongkut Era and at the height of the Rattanakosin Dynasty, when Siam was plagued
with wars with its neighbouring kingdoms. Mak (Mario
Maurer) was drafted to serve in a war against the foreign invasion, forcing
him to leave behind his pregnant wife Nak (Davika
Hoorne) at the town of Phra Khanong, not far from Central Bangkok. He was
wounded during a battle and sent to a medical camp, where he met Ter, Puak,
Shin and Aey, who later became his best friends. Meanwhile, in Phra Khanong,
Nak struggled alone painfully to give birth to the baby. Shortly after,
villagers in the neighborhood heard her singing lullabies to her baby, causing
hair-raising chills and making them cower in fear. Rumours started circulating
around the village that Nak had already died in labor and was now a ghost
haunting the house.
After the war, Mak, accompanied by
his four friends, returned to his home in Phra Khanong. Mak happily reunites
with Nak and their son; he then invited his friends to stay in his aunt's house
nearby. The next day, the five went to the local market to find jobs and buy
food, but the vendors fled from Mak due to the rumor about his wife. At a
liquor store, the owner tried to tell Mak about the rumor, only to be stopped
by her nephew. One night, Shin (Wiwat Kongrasri), while trying to fetch Mak to
join them drinking liquor, lost his nerve at the sight of Nak, the cradle
swinging by itself, and what he believed to be her arm stretching to pick up a
lime she dropped off the porch; however, his friend did not take his words
seriously. None of them notice the liquor store's owner drowned body floating
nearby. The next day, Ter (Nuttapong Chartpong), saw a corpse wearing a
distinctive looking wedding ring in the backyard, and the same one on Nak's
finger. The remaining two friends started to believe Shin and Ter, but none of
them actually tried bending over and looking at Nak between their legs to
confirm that she is a ghost (which is an advice shared by Shin). What ensued is
their desperate and comical attempts to get the message to Mak without alerting
Nak, and Nak's "dinner" made of dry leaves and live worms that Mak
enthusiastically encouraged their friends to try. After the four flat out said
Nak is dead, Mak became angry with them for letting the rumor get the better of
them, and told them to leave. Unwilling to leave their friend behind, the four
conspired to "free" Mak from his wife.
Mak and Nak, who wore a mask to
avoid alerting the villagers, go the village carnival. On the ferris-wheel, Nak
asked her husband if he was afraid of ghosts, and Mak assures her that he was
more afraid of living without her. The couple then entered the haunted house;
there, Mak's friends abducted him, but unable to open the locked door to carry
him out. They briefly managed to conceal themselves from Nak by disguising
themselves as the haunted house's fake ghosts, then busted the wall and ran
into the woods when she saw them. Seeing Mak's suddenly bleeding chest wound,
his distinctive wedding ring, and how he screamed when hit by a handful of holy
rice, the four friends were convinced that he was a ghost and scrambled back to
the house to rescue Nak. Putting her and the baby on back of boat, the four
desperately rowed, only to find Mak at the river bank. He tried to get to the
boat and nearly drowned, convincing the four that he is alive, as ghosts don't
drown. Mak explained to his friends that his reaction when thrown at by holy
rice was because some grains lodged in his wound, which wasn't completely
healed and was busted open by all the commotion. With six people on board, the
boat started sinking, prompting everyone to throw their luggage away, even the
paddles. Ter, who sat frontmost on the boat, wondered out loud who the ghost
might be, and Aey, who sat behind him, dropped a ring that looked exactly like
the one on the corpse, and was kicked off-board by the panicking Ter. After
ineffectively rowing with their hands, Ter was handed the dropped paddle by
Nak, and looked back at the other paddle, which had floated so far away it was
impossible for a human arm to reach. He then stood straight up, bent over and
looked between his legs and finally confirmed that Nak is, indeed, a ghost.
Mak and his three remaining friends,
Shin, Puak and Ter, went to a Buddhist temple seeking chants and prayers to
keep Nak at bay. However, in a panic, coupled with Mak's struggle to get back
to his wife, they spilled all the holy water, holy rice and kicked the praying
monk out of the "safety ring". The monk fled the temple, leaving the
four to face the angry Nak. A pale Aey found his way to the temple and it was
revealed that he was still a human. Ter, Mak and Shin push him forward then
Puak and Aey kiss. Ter thought Aey is a ghost because he is have a ring (and
stole the ring off the corpse to pay off his gambling debt). Nak angrily
shouted at the five that she just wanted to be with her loved one, which the
four friends argued against since they didn't believe the living can be with
the dead. Mak then revealed he knew the truth about Nak all along, after listening
to his friends, looking at Nak between his legs and finding her half buried
corpse. He then claimed that he is more afraid of living without her than of
her ghostly form. His friends, seeing them reuniting, cried and hugged each
other, vowing that they wouldn't leave each other even if one of them became a
ghost.
In the credit scenes, Mak, his wife
and his four friends lived happily in the village. Nak uses her ghostly
abilities to do chores, play charades, help fixing the temple, and scare off
the villagers attempting to drive her away. It is also revealed that her child
also possess some of her abilities.

Edward Jenner and the history of smallpox and vaccination
This article has been cited by other articles in PMC.
In science credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not the man to whom the idea first occurs.—Francis Galton
For
many centuries, smallpox devastated mankind. In modern times we do not
have to worry about it thanks to the remarkable work of Edward Jenner
and later developments from his endeavors. With the rapid pace of
vaccine development in recent decades, the historic origins of
immunization are often forgotten. Unfortunately, since the attack on the
World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the threat of biological
warfare and bioterrorism has reemerged. Smallpox has been identified as a
possible agent of bioterrorism (1). It seems prudent to review the history of a disease known to few people in the 21st century.
Edward Jenner (Figure (Figure11) is well known around the world for his innovative contribution to immunization and the ultimate eradication of smallpox (2).
Jenner's work is widely regarded as the foundation of
immunology—despite the fact that he was neither the first to suggest
that infection with cowpox conferred specific immunity to smallpox nor
the first to attempt cowpox inoculation for this purpose.

SMALLPOX: THE ORIGIN OF A DISEASE
The origin of smallpox as a natural disease is lost in prehistory. It is believed to have appeared around 10,000 BC, at the time of the first agricultural settlements in northeastern Africa .
It seems plausible that it spread from there to India by means of
ancient Egyptian merchants. The earliest evidence of skin lesions
resembling those of smallpox is found on faces of mummies from the time
of the 18th and 20th Egyptian Dynasties (1570–1085 BC). The mummified head of the Egyptian pharaoh Ramses V (died 1156 BC) bears evidence of the disease . At the same time, smallpox has been reported in ancient Asian cultures: smallpox was described as early as 1122 BC in China and is mentioned in ancient Sanskrit texts of India.
Smallpox
was introduced to Europe sometime between the fifth and seventh
centuries and was frequently epidemic during the Middle Ages. The
disease greatly affected the development of Western civilization. The
first stages of the decline of the Roman Empire (AD 108) coincided with a large-scale epidemic: the plague of Antonine, which accounted for the deaths of almost 7 million people . The Arab expansion, the Crusades, and the discovery of the West Indies all contributed to the spread of the disease.
Unknown
in the New World, smallpox was introduced by the Spanish and Portuguese
conquistadors. The disease decimated the local population and was
instrumental in the fall of the empires of the Aztecs and the Incas.
Similarly, on the eastern coast of North America, the disease was
introduced by the early settlers and led to a decline in the native
population. The devastating effects of smallpox also gave rise to one of
the first examples of biological warfare.
During the French-Indian War (1754–1767), Sir Jeffrey Amherst, the
commander of the British forces in North America, suggested the
deliberate use of smallpox to diminish the American Indian population
hostile to the British. Another factor contributing to smallpox in the
Americas was the slave trade because many slaves came from regions in
Africa where smallpox was endemic.
Smallpox affected all
levels of society. In the 18th century in Europe, 400,000 people died
annually of smallpox, and one third of the survivors went blind .
The symptoms of smallpox, or the “speckled monster” as it was known in
18th-century England, appeared suddenly and the sequelae were
devastating. The case-fatality rate varied from 20% to 60% and left most
survivors with disfiguring scars. The case-fatality rate in infants was
even higher, approaching 80% in London and 98% in Berlin during the
late 1800s.
The word variola was commonly used for smallpox and had been introduced by Bishop Marius of Avenches (near Lausanne, Switzerland) in AD 570. It is derived from the Latin word varius, meaning “stained,” or from varus, meaning “mark on the skin.” The term small pockes (pocke
meaning sac) was first used in England at the end of the 15th century
to distinguish the disease from syphilis, which was then known as the
great pockes.

THE 7 WONDERS:Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal ( "Crown of Palaces") is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned 1628–1658), to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
The tomb is the center piece of a 42-acre complex, which includes a
mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three
sides by a crenellated wall.
The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage". Described by the Nobel laureate, Rabindranath Tagore, as "the tear-drop on the cheek of time", it is regarded by many as the best example of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India's rich history. The Taj Mahal attracts 7–8 million visitors a year. In 2007, it was declared a winner of the New7Wonders of the World (2000–2007) initiative.
Inspiration
The Taj Mahal was commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1631, to be built in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, a Persian princess who died giving birth to their 14th child, Gauhara Begum. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632. The imperial court documenting Shah Jahan's grief after the death of Mumtaz Mahal illustrate the love story held as the inspiration for Taj Mahal.The principal mausoleum was completed in 1643 and the surrounding buildings and garden were finished about five years later.Abdul Hamid Lahauri in his book Badshahnama refers to Taj Mahal as rauza-i munawwara, meaning the illumined or illustrious tomb. Soon after the Taj Mahal's completion, Shah Jahan was deposed by his son Aurangzeb and put under house arrest at nearby Agra Fort. Upon Shah Jahan's death, Aurangzeb buried him in the mausoleum next to his wife.In the 18th century, the Jat rulers of Bharatpur invaded Agra and attacked the Taj Mahal, the two chandeliers, one of agate and another of silver, which were hung over the main cenotaph, were taken away by them, along with the gold and silver screen. Kanbo, a Mughal historian, said the gold shield which covered the 15-foot high finial at the top of the main dome was also removed during the Jat despoliation.
By the late 19th century, parts of the buildings had fallen into disrepair. During the time of the Indian rebellion of 1857, the Taj Mahal was defaced by British soldiers and government officials, who chiselled out precious stones and lapis lazuli from its walls. At the end of the 19th century, British viceroy Lord Curzon ordered a sweeping restoration project, which was completed in 1908.He also commissioned the large lamp in the interior chamber, modelled after one in a Cairo mosque. During this time the garden was remodelled with British-style lawns that are still in place today.
