Eating a Messy Food
Eating a mouthwatering taco is not easy – it requires following specific directions. First, you must be
sure that you are wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Eating a taco while you are
wearing an expensive silk blouse is not a smart idea. The next thing that you should do is to decide if
you want to eat the taco alone or in front of others. Eating a taco in front of someone you do not
know very well can be embarrassing. It is important to plan your attack! It is a good idea to pick up
the taco gently and then carefully keep it in a horizontal position. As you raise the taco, slowly turn
your head toward it and position your head at a twenty-degree angle. The last step is to put the
corner of the taco in your mouth and take a bite. By following these simple directions, eating a taco
can be a less messy experience.

A Unique Beverage

Turkish coffee is not easy to make, but the result is worth all the work. First, you need a special
coffeepot called a jezve. This is a long-handled, open brass or copper pot. Next, pour three small
cups of water into the pot. Heat the water until it boils. Then remove the pot form the heat. Add
three teaspoons of coffee and three teaspoons of sugar to the water. Gently stir the mixture and
return it to the heat until you can see foam on the top. When the foam appears, take the jezve from
the heat and hit it lightly with a spoon to make the foam go down. Next, reheat the coffee and tap
the pot two more times, making sure to remove it from the heat each time the foam forms. Before
you serve the coffee, give everyone a small glass of cold water to drink with the hot, thick coffee.

Applying to an American University

follow each step. The first step is to choose several schools that you are interested in attending.
Next, write to these schools to ask for information, catalogues and applications. You may also want
to visit the schools’ websites. After you have researched several schools, narrow your list to between
three and five schools. If the school of your choice requires you to take a standardized test, such as
the SAT, ACT or TOEFL, be sure to do so early. In addition, ask various school officials and teachers to
write letters of recommendation for you if the university requires them. Finally, almost all schools
have an application fee. This fee should be sent in the form of a check or money order. One last
piece of advice is to start early because thousands of high school students are all applying at the

Deforestation is not a small problem. The World Economic Forum calls it "one of the
greatest challenges facing humanity." According to them, it could lead to disastrous climate change,
loss of species, and significantly affect indigenous people's habitats. However, more and more
people are aware of this issue and already started reforestation around the globe. Some use
traditional way to plant trees, but others use modern approach.

One of the technologies used to help plant trees is Amsterdam-based Land Life Company’s
“Cocoon”. This innovative seed cocoon help trees grow in the harshest climates. The cartons are
made of recycled cardboard and packed with nutrients, fungi, and three months’ supply of water.
This technology creates a microclimate so the seedling can flourish without rain. Cocoons boost
seedling survival rates from 10% to at least 90% and slash irrigation from 400 gallons to 10 gallons. In
time, the container biodegrades completely.

The City Transit supervisors have received numerous complaints over the last several weeks about

Have you ever heard someone sing, “Happy birthday to you… happy birthday to you…”? If so, you
are hardly alone – millions of people sing that song every year, and the tune is one of the most
familiar of any song in North America.
Ironically, it is not known who wrote it! The tune was written by two sisters, Patty and Mildred Hill,
who were school teachers in the late 19 th century. But their song had different words; instead of
“happy birthday to you,” the song ran “good morning to all.” The two sisters would sing this ditty to
their students each morning as school began.
In 1924, the tune was published in a song book, which added the “happy birthday” lyrics as verse
two. Today, the second verse of that song has become one of the best-known tunes in the world –
and nobody knows who wrote the words!

Two priests
Irving Berlin

Because somebody changed the original words
