This provoked arguments in society. Some people agree with
capital punishment but others hardly oppose it.
Some people consider that death is an effective tool to
reduces crime because it guarantees those who committed
crimes will never do the same things to cause future
tragedies. It is also cheaper than life imprisonment the

be the target of this punishment. They suggest that life

people think that it is a very effective way to reduce crime.
However, others argue that this punishment can lead to
social injustices.

Being so small the mp3 file still has all the perceptible

According to the declaration of engineers from the

Fraunhofer Institute, a pioneer company in the mp3
technology, this system explores the properties of the human
ear, trying to maintain the original sound quality, in the
boundaries of what is possible. Although it is not as clear as
an audio CD, an mp3 still is an enormous realization when it
comes to sound quality for such a big compression rate.

Another huge advantage the mp3 format represents

Get together with family

Do not let children eat alone and we need to create

an atmosphere of togetherness when the child was time to
 eat. For example, you and your husband are on the table then
eat foods together. With the atmosphere of togetherness,
then the child’s appetite will occur slowly.

Provide healthy snacks

One of the things that concern by parents is the

development of the child if he did not want to eat. Of course,
when children are fussy eaters then its growth will be stunted
and not as friends. One of the best ways to keep it is to try to
give nutritional healthy snack. Give interesting snacks such as
nuts, dried fruits, and nutritious bread.

Variety of food and a nice appearance

appetite he has incurred. For example, you could give spinach
on the first day, broccoli on the second day, and chicken-
based dishes in the next day. Variety of foods is a very
important thing to prevent children from boredom and the
desire not to eat.

However, there is one more thing that could trigger a

child’s appetite, which is an interesting food dish. For
example, you can cook carrots to form a star or a unique
object. Children will be attracted by the shape and believed
to increase appetite. Hopefully, some difficulty eating kids
