Dear Sarah,
It's difficult to believe that DeX Corporation is laying you off. Obviously,
the management doesn't recognize a vital resource while you are under their
roof. When I lost my job, it seemed like the world, but things quickly turned
around. I am confident that this layoff will merely be an opportunity to prove your
resourcefulness, and you will land a good job in no time.
If you would like to offer your services to my firm, please forward your
resume and I will give it to the partners. Regardless of your decision, please call
me soon, and we can arrange lunch sometime.
Sincerely yours,
Jane

It was in 1483 in the little village of Urbino in Umbria, Italy that Raphael was born.
His father was a painter called Giovanni Santi, and from him Raphael inherited his love of
art. After his father died, he was taken by his uncle to study art under Master Perugino in
Italy.
After leaving Master Perugio, Raphael moved to Florence. Later on, he move to
Rome and continued to paint a vast number of works. Along with Michelangelo and
Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael was regarded as a great master of the High Renaissance.
It is wonderful to think how much work he did in his short life, for he died when he
was only thirty-seven. It seemed almost as if it could not be true. But there he lay, beautiful
in death as he had been in life, and over his head was hung the picture of the
7
‘Transfiguration’, on which he had been at work, never to be finished. He left behind him a
fame which can never die, a name which, through hundreds of years, has never lost the
magic of its greatness.
A story told and passed on through generations since the Ayutthaya period and which
inspired a poem by King Rama V of Thailand. Kinnaree Manorah was a princess of Thai legend
and was the youngest of the seven Kinnaree daughters of King Prathum and Queen
Jantakinnaree. She lived in the mythical Mount Grairat kingdom. The Seven Kinnaree appeared
as half woman half swan. They could fly or shed their wings to assume human form as they
pleased.
Within the Krairat (Grairat) kingdom was the great Himmapan Forest in which lived
strange creatures, unknown to human realms. In the middle of the forest was a beautiful lake
which the seven Kinnaree loved to visit regularly on the auspicious day of Panarasi (Full moon
day). Nearby, the lake, an old hermit practiced his meditations.
One day, a young man named Prahnbun, was strolling in the Himmapan forest, saw the
seven princesses at play at the great pond. Prahnbun, stunned by the beauty of Manorah,
thought, "If I can catch her and present her to Prince Suton, son of King Artityawong and Queen
Jantaivee of UdonPanjah the Prince would surely fall in love with her. But how will I be able to
catch her?"
He knew of the old hermit who meditated nearby in the forest and he decided to seek
advice from the wise old man about his plans. The hermit told the young man that to catch the
Kinnaree would be very difficult, as they would fly away if anyone frightened them, but that
there was a great dragon living deep in the forest that might be able to help him. Prahbun
thanked him for his advice and raced off to see the dragon.
The great dragon was not happy to hear Prahnbun's plan but was, eventually persuaded
by Prahnbun to give him a magical rope with which he would be able to catch Manorah.
Prahnbun thanked the dragon, hurried away to the pond with the magical dragon rope, and
crept up to the pond's edge where the Kinnaree were playing. While the Kinnaree were all
happily distracted with their play at the water's edge, he struck; throwing the magic rope around
the neck of Manorah and caught her so tight, she could not escape. Her sisters fearful of being
caught themselves; all took flight and flew away to safety.
Prahnbun then secured Manorah's wings to stop her from flying away and lead her
away through the forest heading back to UdonPanjah to present her to the Prince Suton. The
Prince happened to be riding through the forest when he came across Prahnbun with his prize.
The beauty of Manorah instantly charmed the Prince and when Prahnbun told him that he had
captured Manorah for him, the Prince was delighted with Prahnbun's good intentions and
rewarded him handsomely.

The Prince returned to his Summer Palace in the forest with Manorah where their love
for each other blossomed. When the Prince told his mother and father the whole story, they
were very happy and immediately arranged the wedding between the Prince and Princess
Manorah who returned to the UdonPanjah palace where they were married and lived happy
ever after.

Carbon
Carbon, symbol C, is element that is crucial to the existence of living organisms and that
has many important industrial applications. The atomic number of carbon is 6, the element is in
group 14 (or IVa) of periodic table.
The atomic weight of carbon is 12.01115. There are three forms of elemental carbon
that occur in nature: diamond, graphite and amorphous carbon. They are solids with extremely
high melting points and in soluble in all solvents at ordinary temperatures. The physical
properties of the three forms differ widely because of the differences in crystalline structure.
Each atom of a diamond, the hardest material known, is linked to four other atoms in a three-
dimensional framework, whereas graphite consists of weakly bonded plane layers of atoms that
are arranged in hexagons.
Carbon is a widely distributed element in nature, although it makes up only about 0.025
percent of the Earth’s crust. It occurs there mostly in the form of carbonates. Carbon dioxide is
an important constituent of the atmosphere and is the main source of carbon incorporated into
living matter. Plants, using photosynthesis, convert carbon dioxide into organic carbon
compounds, which are subsequently consumed by other organisms

Many heavy drinkers may not see themselves as being out of control or having a
problem with alcohol. Those close to those with alcohol addiction may have noticed a change in
their personality and their problems escalate. They may become secretive about their drinking,
and obsessed with alcohol. They may become paranoid, frightened of others making judgments
about their frequency or the amount they are drinking. The first step to overcoming alcohol or
any other addiction is admitting there is a problem and having a strong wish and determination
to give up drinking or other destructive activity. The following list is a good place to start when
looking at reasons to stop drinking.
The effects of alcoholic on the body are detrimental to just about every function of the
human body. Heavy drinking is associated with early death and low mortality rates. Problem
drinkers may suffer from weight gain or loss, alopecia, breathing problems and difficulty
regulating their blood sugar levels.
Those who drink a lot are more likely to suffer from heart disease too. Alcohol is in its very
essence a toxin, and the body has to work hard to fight its ravaging effects.
Alcohol has a depressant effect on the body’s nervous system, which helps regulate
brain function. Alcohol is likely to make you feel paranoid, nervous, and depressed. The
temporary uplifting effects of alcohol are far outweighed by their longer term effects. Alcohol
problems are more common in those with mental health issues. Drinking can trigger or
exacerbate mental health problems.
Heavy drinking inevitably spills over into work life. Absenteeism rates are proven to be
higher amongst those who drink to excess regularly, with time spent off sick due to the adverse
effects of alcohol. Productivity at work may be reduced as the problem drinker struggles with
their alcohol addiction. As the mood of the drinker changes, their whole personalities may
change as they try to hide their drinking from colleagues.
For these reasons it’s much better for you to stop drinking alcohol, If you think you have
a problem with alcohol then you should seek help immediately. There are many different
treatments available for someone who is suffering from alcohol addiction. However, any attempt
at stopping drinking is unlikely to succeed if the drinker does not have a true wish and
determination to give up drinking, not just for any of the reason, but for them.

President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has called for stronger unity and economic ties among
ASEAN member countries to ensure peace and stability in the region during his address at the
ASEAN Summit in Vientiane, Laos.
"We cannot allow instability to occur in the region around us. We cannot allow big
countries to control and determine the fate of the security and stability of the region around us,"
Jokowi said on Tuesday in his remarks at the plenary meeting of the 28th ASEAN Summit,
according to a press statement from the Presidential Press Bureau.
Jokowi pointed to the region's large population, which consists of over 600 million people, as
one of the reasons behind the need to strengthen unity.
"Without the unity and centrality of ASEAN, I am sure that the role of ASEAN as an
important contributor to the security and stability of the region will disappear. And if that
happens, then the future of ASEAN will be bleak," Jokowi further said.
Jokowi urged the leaders of ASEAN countries to strengthen economic ties among fellow
member states in ways that would benefit all parties evenly and minimize the development gap
among member states.
The involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through the
development of technology and innovation must be included, as well as the expansion of
access to finance and markets, Jokowi added.
He also asked for ASEAN to be an organization that looks after its people, including the
protection of migrant workers. (rin)
