Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from?

In this Article we'll enter the amazing world of chocolate so you


can understand exactly what you're eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in places such as
South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit
are the tree's seeds, also known as cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker. The
chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavor. Different beans from different places have different
qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are
winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended
nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of
fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It's
pure bitter Chocolate.

Governor Sutiyoso has launched his mass rapid transportation plan. This includes monorail, subway, water
transportation, and Busway. Among the public transportation plan, Busway has been put into effect. The air conditioned
bus fleet with their special roads have been operated since last year. Now more routes are being constructed to cover the
five mayoralties. In fact, the existence of Busway makes pros and cons.
Some people consider Busway can solve a traffic problem faced by the metropolitan city. Every day millions of
people commute from their houses to their respective work places. This badly needs adequate public transportation. If
fifty persons go to their officer by cars, they need fifty cars roaming on the street. This number of cars can be replaced
by only one Busway. Consequently, with reduced vehicles the streets are less congested. Therefore, I can decline traffic
jams. Apart from reducing traffic jams, Busway eases Jakarta inhabitants to go to their workplace or other destination.
For this reason more access on Busway is being accomplished. Other Busway roads. Have been constructed, such as,
Kota-Kalideres, and Kota-Polugadung. This definitely make easier for people who go for rcreation to the zoo.
Besides reducing traffic jam and comforting passengers, Busway can minimize air pollution. As stated, Busway
can replace other vehicles in a great number. It apparently declines the danger of pollution. Less vehicles means less
carbon monoxide coming out from the exhausted fumes. As a result, the residents of Jakarta are less threatened with
sickness caused by air pollution. And it Busway administration can manage the public transport well, Busway can create
a new icon of Jakarta.
Those who resist the existence of Busway argue that instead of solving a problem, Busway create a new problem.
Busway even makes traffic worse. The Busway line makes the roads narrower. Narrow roads cause passing vehicles to
get stuck especially during rush hours. Furthermore, Busway adds up corruption that has become a vicious circle in this
country. As reported in a newspaper the purchase of Busway fleet is under corruption suspect. Billions of expense,
Busway fare is also much expensive than an ordinary bus. It costs Rp. 3.500 for once ride, while the common bus only
costs Rp. 2.000. With the difference in the bus fare, it is likely that passengers prefer to ride ordinary buses.
Apparently, Busway still creates different outlooks among the residents of Jakarta. In spite of all the critics, the
governor of Jakarta firmly continues to extend its route.

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts of the world. The first large-scale
nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England, in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engines. Nuclear power produces around 11%
of the world’s energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It causes no pollution as you’d get when burning
fossil fuels.
The advantages of nuclear is as follows:
(1) It costs about the same as coal, so it’s not expensive to make.
(2) It doesn’t produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect.
(3) It produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of uranium.
(4) It produces small amounts of waste.
(5) It is reliable.
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow
the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it
does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major disaster. For example, twenty two years ago, in Chernobyl, Russia,
there was a scary accident of nuclear plant of engine because of human fault.
People are increasingly concerned about this. In the 1990’s nuclear power was the fastest, growing source of power
in many parts of the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowest-growing.
