feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The
forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except
in the very earliest fossil birds is very short, and the visible tail is composed
of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in

Saja” is choosen as the first single of the album and theme song of

other brand new song “Dilema”, “Jangan Bilang Pacarku” and “ Semua

When Hanung Bramantyo, the director, and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chated,
Budjana expressed his interest in making soundtrack album. Then, he recommended
a few of GIGI songs, which the producer accepted because of the chemistry they
created with the movie. Since GIGI can provide a variety of colors to add all kinds
of musical nuances to enrich the movie, the producer deemed it unnecessary to
find other musicians to complete OST of BROWNIES. Armand Maulana (vocalist), I
Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (Bass player) , and Gusti Erhandy
(Drum-stand-in player for Budhi haryono) put a lot of effort to this album. As
a result, they’ve created perfect blend of movie and songs that makes BROWNIES
tastier.
It’s
always fun to have a piece of Brownies in your mouth. But having it in your
stereo set is more entertaining. No movie is perfect without musical score and
OST of Brownies proved it excellent.

Is
Smoking Good For Us?
Before we smoke, it is better to look at the fact of
smoking effects, not only for smokers but also for non smokers. About 50 thousands
people die every year in Britain as the direct result of smoking. This is the
seven times as many as deaths in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers
die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If
we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung
cancer than a non- smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is
nineteen times greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer from
bronchitis are people who smoke. Smokers are two and half times more likely to
die of heart disease than non- smokers.
Additionally, children of smokers are more likely to
develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in a smoky room, a non-smoker
breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen
cigarettes.

During the twentieth century the world has witnessed
the inventions of many amazing things. Television is a great invention, but
there are arguments for and against whether it is the best invention of the
twentieth century
Television was invented in the1920s and first came to
Australia in 1956. It has played an important role in communicating news. We
can learn instantly about what is happening in the world because of television.
Also, television has provided people with entertainment in their own homes.
People in isolated areas can still feel the other part of the world because of
television. For these reasons I feel that television could be considered the
best invention of the twentieth century.
On the other hand, there are other inventions that
could be considered better than television. Some might argue that computer
should be awarded the distinction of being the best invention because computer
has made life easier. Others might argue that medical inventions such as heart
pacemakers are best inventions because they help to save live.
It can be seen that there are reasons for and against
television being considered the best invention of the twentieth century. After
looking at both sides I still believe it is the best invention.

Facsimile, often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures
over telephone lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories
and photographs to newspaper and television stations. Banks, law firms and
other businesses use facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other
organizations.
A device called a facsimile machine is
used for transmitting and receiving images. Facsimile machines resemble small
photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a telephone or are connected to
one. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the
telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an
electronic scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and
converts the image into a set of electric signals. These signals travel over
the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. Then machine converts the
electric signals back into an image of the original document and then prints a
copy.
Some business people use small
desktop fax machines or portable models at home or when they travel. A personal
computer can also be used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with
a special electronic circuit board called a fax board
