Drama That Can Make Us Cry - One Litre Of Tears

One Litre of Tears Drama

Based on a true story, One Litre of Tears is about the life story Kitou Aya (1962-1988) a girl who had an incurable disease called Spinocerebellar Degeneration Disease (also known as SCA type 2: spinocerebellar ataxia type 2)at a young age of 15.

Although the girl in the drama - Ikeuchi Aya, lived in the 21st century, her character was based on Kitou Aya's life, how she struggled and fought her disease and how she wrote her deepest thoughts until the last day she could hold a pen.

15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya was an ordinary girl, the daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop, and a soon-to-be high schooler.

However, odd things have been happening to Aya lately.

She has been falling down often and walks strange.

Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat.

A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least.

Before she died, her writings were published including the poems she wrote while she is staying in a school for the disabled.

This gave new hopes to people who suffers the same disease as she did and soon Aya received letters of appreciation and thanks from those people.

At the age of 25, she succumbed herself into a sleep where she could no longer feel any pain.

Ichi Rittoru no Namida is a heart-warming drama that will make people happy for the simple fact that they are alive, and will give hope to those who suffers from diseases and will make them think positive about living instead of giving up easily.

Guru oh Guru

Dialah pemberi paling setia

Tiap akar ilmu miliknya

Pelita dan lampu segala

Untuk manusia sebelum jadi dewasa.

Dialah ibu dialah bapa juga sahabat

Alur kesetiaan mengalirkan nasihat

pemimpin yang ditauliahkan segala umat

Seribu tahun katanya menjadi hikmah.

Jika hari ini seorang Perdana Menteri berkuasa

Jika hari ini seorang Raja menaiki takhta

Jika hari ini seorang Presiden sebuah negara

Jika hari ini seorang ulama yang mulia

Jika hari ini seorang peguam menang bicara

Jika hari ini seorang penulis terkemuka

Jika hari ini siapa sahaja menjadi dewasa;

Sejarahnya dimulakan oleh seorang guru biasa

Dengan lembut sabarnya mengajar tulis-baca.

Di mana-mana dia berdiri di muka muridnya

Di sebuah sekolah mewah di Ibu Kota

Di bangunan tua sekolah Hulu Terengganu

Dia adalah guru mewakili seribu buku;

Semakin terpencil duduknya di ceruk desa

Semakin bererti tugasnya kepada negara.

Jadilah apa pun pada akhir kehidupanmu, guruku

Budi yang diapungkan di dulangi ilmu

Panggilan keramat "cikgu" kekal terpahat

Menjadi kenangan ke akhir hayat.

American Idol Season 9

Its now Top 3 for American Idol Season 9.

After every elimination night, i feel sad for them who are not to be Top 3 now.

It is because for me American Idol is the best reality show for searching the real best artist based on their voices and capability.

Thumbs up for me to American Idol.

All the contestants have a very powerful voices that can make audiences feel love with them.

And also me.

Now the Top 3 are Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze and Casey James.

I'm hoping for 'Big Mike' or Michael Lynche to be Top 3.

Its the highest votes from American which is 37 Million votes for them.

Wow!!

This down here is taken from http://www.americanidol.com/ the official website for American Idol.

The Top 3 finalists had this to say about making it to the Top 3:

Crystal Bowersox – “I come from a small town where everyone knows everyone – it’s a really tight-knit community. Everyone’s incredibly excited for me, and I couldn’t be more excited for them. I’ve heard that things were looking pretty dismal back home, and now everyone is rallying because they have something to believe in. It’s amazing that it can be me who lifts the spirits of the people in my hometown. I’m forever grateful for their support and love, and I can’t wait to come home and see everybody.”

Lee DeWyze – “I’m very appreciative of this whole experience. Truthfully, there’s more than just getting up there and performing every week. It’s the people back at home – and the people everywhere – who are voting for me and supporting me. Without them, I wouldn’t be here. Going back home and getting to see all the people that will be there is going to be really awesome.”

Casey James – “To all my hometown people – thank you. I know they’re rooting for me like crazy and voting their butts off, so I owe them a huge thank you. I’ll never be able to show it enough. Even saying thank you a million times wouldn't be enough. I am excited to go home and see my fans, and I am excited to smell that Texas air again. It sounds stupid, but that's going be one of the best things for me.”

The Top 24 semifinalists are: (females) Didi Benami, Crystal Bowersox, Lacey Brown, Michelle Delamor, Katelyn Epperly, Siobhan Magnus, Paige Miles, Ashley Rodriguez, Lilly Scott, Katie Stevens, Haeley Vaughn and Janell Wheeler; (males) Lee Dewyze, Andrew Garcia, Tyler Grady, Todrick Hall, Casey James, Aaron Kelly, Alex Lambert, Michael Lynche, Joe Muñoz, John Park, Jermaine Sellers and Tim Urban.

GO AMERICAN IDOL THE BEST REALITY SHOW!!!

Rocket Water Time!!

Bottle Rocket Launcher

Objective

• To construct a bottle rocket launcher for use with the Bottle Rocket and Project X-35 activities.

Description:

• Students construct a bottle launcher from "off-the-shelf" hardware and wood using simple tools.

Management:

Consult the materials and tools list to determine what you will need to construct a single bottle rocket launcher. The launcher is simple and inexpensive to construct. Most needed parts are available from hardware stores. In addition you will need a tire valve from an auto parts store and a rubber bottle stopper from a school science experiment. The most difficult task is to drill a 3/8 inch hole in the mending plate called for in the materials list. Electric drills are a common household tool. If you do not have access to one, or do not wish to drill the holes in the metal mending plate, find someone who can do the job for you. Ask a teacher or student in your school's industrial arts shop, a fellow teacher, or the parent of one of your students to help.

If you have each student construct a bottle rocket, having more than one launcher may be advisable. Because the rockets are projectiles, safely using more than one launcher will require careful planning and possibly additional supervision. Please refer to the launch safety instructions.

Background Information:

Like a balloon, air pressurizes the bottle rocket. When released from the launch platform, air escapes the bottle, providing an action force accompanied by an equal and opposite reaction force (Newton's Third Law of Motion). Increasing the pressure inside the bottle rocket produces greater thrust since a large quantity of air inside the bottle escapes with a higher acceleration (Newton's Second Law of Motion). Adding a small amount of water to the bottle increases the action force. The water expels from the bottle before the air does, turning the bottle rocket into a bigger version of a water rocket toy available in toy stores.

Materials and Tools:

• Student sheet
• 4 5-inch corner irons with 12 3/4 inch wood screws to fit
• 1 5-inch mounting plate
• 2 6-inch spikes
• 2 10-inch spikes or metal tent stakes
• 2 5-inch by 1/4 inch carriage bolts with six 1/4 inch nuts
• 1 3-inch eyebolt with two nuts and washers
• 4 3/4-inch diameter washers to fit bolts
• 1 Number 3 rubber stopper with a single hole
• 1 Snap-in Tubeless Tire Valve (small 0.453 inch hole, 2 inch long)
• Wood board 12 by 18 by 3/4 inches
• 1 2-liter plastic bottle
• Electric drill and bits including a 3/8 inch bit
• Screw driver
• Pliers or open-end wrench to fit nuts
• Vice
• 12 feet of 1/4 inch cord
• Pencil

Construction Instructions:

1. Prepare the rubber stopper by enlarging the hole with a drill. Grip the stopper lightly with a vice and gently enlarge the hole with a 3/8 inch bit and electric drill. The rubber will stretch during cutting, making the finished hole somewhat less than 3/8 inches.
2. Remove the stopper from the vice and push the needle valve end of the tire stem through the stopper from the narrow end to the wide end.
3. 
4. Prepare the mounting plate by drilling a 3/8 inch hole through the centre of the plate. Hold the plate with a vice during drilling and put on eye protection. Enlarge the holes at the opposite ends of the plates, using a drill bit slightly larger than the holes to do this. The holes must be large enough to pass the carriage bolts through them. (See Attachment of Mending Plate and Stopper diagram to the right.)
5. Lay the mending plate in the centre of the wood base and mark the centres of the two outside holes that you enlarged. Drill holes through the wood big enough to pass the carriage bolts through.
6. Push and twist the tire stem into the hole you drilled in the centre of the mounting plate. The fat end of the stopper should rest on the plate.
7. Insert the carriage bolts through the wood base from the bottom up. Place a hex nut over each bolt and tighten the nut so that the bolt head pulls into the wood.
8. Screw a second nut over each bolt and spin it about half way down the bolt. Place a washer over each nut and then slip the mounting plate over the two bolts.
9. 
10. Press the neck of a 2-liter plastic bottle over the stopper. You will be using the bottle's wide neck lip for measuring in the next step.
11. Set up two corner irons so they look like book ends. Insert a spike through the top hole of each iron. Slide the irons near the bottle neck so that the spike rests immediately above the wide neck lip. The spike will hold the bottle in place while you pump up the rocket. If the bottle is too low, adjust the nuts beneath the mounting plate on both sides to raise it.
12. Set up the other two corner irons as you did in the previous step. Place them on the opposite side of the bottle. When you have the irons aligned so that the spikes rest above and hold the bottle lip, mark the centres of the holes on the wood base. For more precise screwing, drill small pilot holes for each screw and then screw the corner irons tightly to the base.
13. Install an eyebolt to the edge of the opposite holes for the hold down spikes. Drill a hole and hold the bolt in place with washers and nuts on top and bottom.
14. Attach the launch "pull cord" to the head end of each spike. Run the cord through the eyebolt.
15. Make final adjustments to the launcher by attaching the pump to the tire stem and pumping up the bottle. Refer to the launching instructions for safety notes. If the air seeps out around the stopper, the stopper is too loose. Use a pair of pliers or a wrench to raise each side of the mounting plate in turn to press the stopper with slightly more force to the bottle neck. When satisfied with the position, thread the remaining hex nuts over the mounting plate and tighten them to hold the plate in position.
16. Drill two holes through the wood base along one side. The holes should be large enough to pass large spikes of metal tent stakes. When the launch pad is set up on a grassy field, the stakes will hold the launcher in place when you yank the pull cord. The launcher is now complete.

Launch Safety Instructions:

1. Select a grassy field that measures approximately 30 meters across. Place the launcher in the centre of the field and anchor it in place with the spikes or tent stakes. (If it is a windy day, place the launcher closer to the side of the field from which the wind is coming so that the rocket will drift on to the field as it comes down.)
2. Have each student or student group set up their rocket on the launch pad. Other students should stand back several meters. It will be easier to keep observers away by roping off the launch site.
3. After the rocket is attached to the launcher, the student pumping the rocket should put on eye protection. The rocket should be pumped no higher than about 50 pounds of pressure per square inch.
4. When pressurization is complete, all students should stand in back of the rope for the countdown.
5. Before conducting the countdown, be sure the place where the rocket is expected to come down is clear of people. Launch the rocket when the recovery range is clear.
6. Only permit the students launching the rocket to retrieve it.
