 “Did you see that?” Joe said to his friend Bill. “You’re a great shooter!” Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again. The ball flew into the net. “Bill, you never miss!” Joe said admiringly. “Unless I’m in a real game,” Bill complained. “Then I miss all the time.” Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.
“Maybe you just need to practice more,” Joe suggested. “But I practice all the time with you!” Bill objected. He shook his head. “I just can’t play well when people are watching me.” “You play well when I’m watching,” Joe pointed out. “That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old,” Bill said with a smile. “I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.”
Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea. The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself. “Practice without me,” Joe said to his friend. “I’ll be back in a minute.” Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a math teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help. Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school’s basketball court.
As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him. “Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally. Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face. “I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game!”

Most people think that dust is very harmful to us. But this is not true. Dust is, in fact, very useful, and therefore, it is essential to know what dust is and how it is formed.

Every solid substance is composed of very small particles. When these small particles of matters are scattered, they become dust particles. Forexample, if we go on breaking a brick or a stone into small pieces, it will turn into small particles. These particles get mixed with air and they are called dust particles. The air carries dust particles from one place to another.

There are different ways by which dust is formed. When solid substance break, dust is formed. Smoke generated by the burning of coal, wood, petrol, etc., also produces dust. Dust particles also come from death plants, sea salt, desert, volcanic sand, etc.  The particles of the earth’s surface also fly in the air. In the form of dust.

The biggest use of the dust particles is that they help in the formation of the rain. The water vapors in the clouds condenses on the dust particles in the form of water –drops.

Lately, concerns have arisen that Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and its immediate surroundings are threatened to experience a clean water crisis by 2025. Clean water, which is produced by two private operators – PAM Lyonnaise Jaya (Palyja) and Aetra Air Jakarta – currently totals 18.7 m3 per second. However, by 2025, demand for clean water will reach 41.3 m3/second as the population of Jakarta is estimated to grow to 14.6 million people from 9.6 million currently (the unofficial figure is possibly much higher).

It has been reported that city-owned property developer Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) and city-owned developer Pembangunan Jaya will acquire a combined 100 percent stake in Palyja. If the Jakarta administration has a direct stake in the city water operators, it will increase public supervision on the local clean water industry.

PAM Lyonnaise Jaya, which manages the clean water supply in the west side of Jakarta, is a private water operator that is partly controlled by Astra International through its subsidiary Astratel Nusantara. Palyja has been active in Jakarta for about 16 years. However, last year a law suit was filed demanding that the court will annul the agreement between city water operator PAM Jaya and Palyja and Aetra Air Jakarta (Aetra) claiming that public access to affordable clean water has been hindered.

Based on information from the World Bank, Indonesia plans to achieve universal clean water access by 2019 but almost half of the population still do not have access to clean water at present.

 Tattoo and Piercings

Tattoo and body piercing are very popular in several countries. For example, in Korea, body-piercing is done by popular singers and artists. They do that because they want to look different and exceptional. But, tattooing for young people should be banned because tattoos can affect their health and skin.

Many countries, including the U.S.A., urge that underage youngsters should not be allowed to get piercings and tattoos. People feel differently about tattooing and piercing because criminal groups, like gangsters, usually have tattoos.

Hero
(Mariah Carey)
 
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
 
Reff :
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
 
It's a long, road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow

In time you'll find the way
