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 ,

“Bisa Saja” is choosen as the
first single of the album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric reflects
the story in the movie. Budjana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing
acoustic guitar in “ Cinta Terakhir “. Three other brand new song “Dilema”,
“Jangan Bilang Pacarku” and “ Semua Orang Berhak Mendapat 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 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.

excellent.

Is Smoking Good For Us?
Before we smoke, it is better to

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.

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

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
