"chocolate"

The word "chocolate" entered the English language from Spanish.



Chocolate  is a raw or processed food produced from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for at least three millennia in Mexico, Central and South America, with its earliest documented use around 1100 BC. The majority of the Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Aztecs, who made it into a beverage known as xocolatl ,a Nahuatl word meaning "bitter water". The seeds of the cacao tree have an intense bitter taste, and must be fermented to develop the flavor.

After fermentation, the beans are dried, then cleaned, and then roasted, and the shell is removed to produce cacao nibs. The nibs are then ground to cocoa mass, pure chocolate in rough form. Because this cocoa mass usually is liquefied then molded with or without other ingredients, it is called chocolate liquor. The liquor also may be processed into two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Unsweetened baking chocolate (bitter chocolate) contains primarily cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions. Much of the chocolate consumed today is in the form of sweet chocolate, combining cocoa solids, cocoa butter or other fat, and sugar. Milk chocolate is sweet chocolate that additionally contains milk powder or condensed milk. White chocolate contains cocoa butter, sugar, and milk but no cocoa solids.

Cocoa solids contain alkaloids such as theobromine and phenethylamine, which have physiological effects on the body. It has been linked to serotonin levels in the brain. Some research found that chocolate, eaten in moderation, can lower blood pressure. The presence of theobromine renders chocolate toxic to some animals, especially dogs and cats.

Chocolate has become one of the most popular food types and flavors in the world. Gifts of chocolate molded into different shapes have become traditional on certain holidays: chocolate bunnies and eggs are popular on Easter, chocolate coins on Hanukkah, Santa Claus and other holiday symbols on Christmas, and chocolate hearts or chocolate in heart-shaped boxes on Valentine's Day. Chocolate is also used in cold and hot beverages, to produce chocolate milk and hot chocolate. Around three quarters of the world's cacao bean production takes place in West Africa.

"White chocolate"

White chocolate is a confectionery derivative of chocolate. It commonly consists of cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids and salt, and is characterized by a pale yellow or ivory appearance. The melting point of cocoa butter, its primary cacao bean component, is high enough to keep white chocolate solid at room temperature, yet low enough to allow white chocolate to melt in the mouth.

Hundreds of shells on the shore together,

Shuttle Atlantis' final docking

    The shuttle Atlantis approached the orbiting International Space Station for one last hitch-up Sunday, on its final space voyage before the entire 30-year US shuttle program shuts down for good.

Hatches are to be opened between the two spacecraft Sunday at 1:19 pm (1719 GMT), according to the NASA plan.
    About an hour before the shuttle's scheduled docking with the ISS at 11:07 am (1507 GMT), the spacecraft began its habitual slow backflip so that crew could take pictures of its heat shields before clasping onto the lab.
"Poetry in motion as the shuttle begins the last R-bar pitch maneuver in shuttle program history," said a commentator at mission control in Houston, referring to the nickname of the nine-minute backflip, or rendezvous pitch maneuver.
    The one-degree-per-second somersault allows ISS crew members to snap high-resolution photos as they check the shuttle for any damage incurred during takeoff.
Atlantis began its 12-day journey on Friday with a flawless liftoff from Kennedy Space Center that was watched locally by hundreds of thousands of tourists, and marked the last-ever blastoff of the three decade long program.
The flight marks the end of an era for NASA, leaving Americans with no actively operating government-run human spaceflight program and no method for sending astronauts to space until private industry comes up with a new capsule, likely by 2015 at the earliest.
Four US crew are aboard the shuttle, which is on a mission to resupply the international research outpost one last time before the shuttles retire.
    Atlantis is carrying 8,000 pounds (3,000 kilograms) of supplies, which the combined crew of 10 -- four aboard the shuttle's STS-135 mission and six aboard the ISS as part of Expedition 28 -- will transfer during the mission. A failed ammonia pump will then be transferred to the shuttle payload bay for return to Earth.
With the shuttle program ending, only Russia's three-seat Soyuz capsules will be capable of carrying astronauts to the ISS at a cost of more than $50 million per seat.
   Monday will be occupied with setting up the transfer of the Raffaello multipurpose module, which holds the extra supplies, from the shuttle to the Earth-facing side of the station's Harmony module. A spacewalk by ISS crew members Ron Garan and Mike Fossum, both US astronauts, is set for Tuesday. The duo has already stepped out together on three spacewalks, which took place in June 2008 as part of the STS-124 mission that delivered the Japanese Kibo lab to the ISS.
   On Saturday, the Atlantis crew performed the first inspection of the craft's thermal protection system, the outer barrier that protects it from the searing heat upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
Crew members used the shuttle's robotic arm to maneuver a 50-foot (15-meter) long orbiter boom sensor system for a closer look at the heat shield tiles on the shuttle's wing and nose cap, which NASA described as "standard operations."
Careful inspections of the shuttle body have become a primary activity since the space shuttle Columbia was destroyed upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere in 2003.
A panel of experts concluded that a heat shield tile on the craft's wing was damaged at blast-off, fatally compromising the craft's re-entry protection and killing all seven crew on board.

" I think that is interesting very much .

You think same with me."

" Doi Ang khang "

   

   Doi Ang Khang Mountain is a three-hour drive from Chiang Mai. The last part of the journey is a very steep and twisty climb to the summit, which is poised 1,300 m above the Burmese border.

   The are several reasons why Doi Ang Khang is an exceptional and eye-catching natural attraction. It has breathtaking scenery, invigorating mountain air, a fresh cool climate as well as the general peace and quiet of the countryside. There are also guesthouses, an excellent small hotel as well as other tourist amenities, so bird watching, mountain biking, trekking or just sitting and contemplating are all possible here.

    Also located on Doi Ang Khang Mountain is the Royal Ang Khang Research Station, which is situated 163 km north of Chiang Mai city and is set among the beautiful mountainous scenery. The Station has recently become a very popular destination for the more adventurous traveler to this area.

 

    The agricultural project station was set up in 1969 as a demonstration site for planting and researching flowering plants, temperate fruit trees, vegetables and other crops under the patronage of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Primarily a research centre, it focuses on developing a wider variety of marketable produce for the local hill tribes, which were previously cash-poor and dependent on growing illegal opium as their major source of income. The organic methods employed by the Project have had great success. Such non- tropical fruit as strawberries and raspberries, peaches, apples and plumbs and vegetables like beans and asparagus, have all done well.

How to learn English

Surround Yourself with English

   The biggest problem for most people to learn a new language is fear itself. They worry that it will not be able to say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they do not dare say it. The fastest way to learn what to do often fear speaking.

    English around himself as the best way. The notes in English, put English books around the room listening to the radio in English. News in English. Film and TV. Speaking English with your friends when you can and can not think in English.

  Dialects of the language you hear most. Native is a natural accent when speaking English.

 I speak as a phrase. And stream near-native accent.

Do Exercises and Take Tests.
Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun.  However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with.  Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned.  If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English.
