belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered
bodies. Next to the animals, birds are the most important group of land-living
vertebrates. All birds have feathers, although in some types, particularly
those that cannot fly, the normal structure of the 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 mammals the only other
group of warm-blooded animal , the
circulation is highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial
and venous blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is

“JanganBilangPacarku” and “ Semua Orang BerhakMendapat Rasa Bahagia”,
gives supporting nuances to the movie flow as GIGI composed them by imagining
how the scenes would like look based on the screenplay.
When
HanungBramantyo, the director, and DewaBudjana of GIGI chated, Budjana
expressed his interest in making soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few

kinds of musical nuances to enrich the movie, the producer deemed it

(vocalist), I GedeDewaBudjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (Bass player) , and
GustiErhandy (Drum-stand-in player for Budhiharyono) put a lot of effort to
this album. As a result, they’ve created perfect blend of movie and songs that
makes BROWNIES tastier.

Is Smoking Good For Us?

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

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
