Some people's hnds are yellow like ME so i;m doing my PERSONAL homework that mr.h gave me
An excessive intake of carotenoids, found in carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, winter squash, spinach, kale, broccoli, and dark green and orange produce, can turn the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet yellow. The condition is called carotenodermia and it is not considered to be dangerous. Jaundice, which is a one sign of many possible diseases, produces a general yellowing of the skin and turns the whites of the eyes yellow. Jaundice should always to brought to a physician's attention. Carotenodermia, on the other hand, is reversed by eating fewer carotenoids.
know that's it!!!! done well,i did it for fun (i think)

News and views - An animal that lives forever._Margaret-
had been known for years that a Jellyfish is a very extraordinary creature and that it has a lot of secrets hidden behind it's small body. We have been observing and studying about their magical facts and their lifestyle, advertising them in tv shows, setting up laboratories to research them, and to spend every precious minute to find new species . And we have found out that one specie may live for eternity- a living immortal creature. Of course, it's not the kind of process that fits exactly to our vision of immortality-staying young and beautiful forever-but it actually goes through a cycle, of when it's an adult it changes back into a young.
And I've got a theory of my own about this strange immortality. This particular specie would breed like all the other jellyfish does, and as they live on for ever, it would also mean that our oceans will be flooded with forever living jellyfish. However, we had currently no problem with that kind of situation. So it means that this jellyfish has more predators than any other jellyfish. The jellyfish had lived on this planet longer than humans, so it must be more evolutionized.
In the days when it was not immortal, it must have been attacked quite a lot and almost became extinct. However, as the jellyfish struggled to survive and to reserve it's own specie, it had evolutionize into a immortal specie. And this is my theory.
And I can't help wishing to learn more about this exciting specie. Maybe, if this instict is something related to genes we would be able to apply it to human beings, and we will be immortal forever. If this happens we would be able to save lands as graveyards would not be needed. Wow.

An animal that can live forever.
The Turritopsis nutricula jellyfish can live forever. According to scientists' research, those jellyfish can go back from their adult age to their childhood. Obviously they wouldn't die because of their ages, but they are able to die if they get some diseases or get eaten by other predators. However, if those kind of situations don't happen, then that means they would be able to live forever. In my opinion, I will be amazed to live forever when I am a jellyfish. I can enjoy my life more than twice!!! But, in the humans case, I think it would be horrible to become a child when I was a grandfather. Ewe! I don't think living forever is good.

biography-Lina
I bet everybody knows him... Bill Gates!!!
Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955. He and his two sisters grew up in Seattle.
Gates attended public elementary school before moving on to the private Lakeside School in North Seattle. It was at Lakeside that Gates began his career in personal computer software, programming computers at age 13.
From an early age he had an interest in computers and started programming them at age 13. He went to study at Harvard, but dropped out to pursue his 'small' business called Microsoft. He and Paul Allen adapted the BASIC programming language for use on the Altair 8800 - the first successful personal computer.
The real visionary deal Bill Gates made was buying a disk operating system (DOS) from another company and providing IBM with MS-DOS for their personal computers.
He married Melinda French on January 1, 1994 and they have three children Jennifer, Rory and Phoebe.
In 1995 Bill Gates ventured into writing with the book The Road Ahead. He followed this up with Business @ the Speed of Thought. Both books have spent numerous weeks on the New York Times' best-seller list.
He ranks as the richest person in the world. So how rich is he? Estimates in 2004 put his wealth around $46 billion. Bill Gates reckons he'll give away most of his wealth and leave only a small portion to his kids. He has already created the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation whose aim it is to bring technology to the under privileged.
Though there seems to be continuous investigations into Microsoft's business practices, the fact remains that Microsoft software made computers accessible to everyone. And we have Bill Gates to thank. Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!
and mr.h why there are sooooo much space between one pragraph to anothor??????? just asking(!)

autography -HENRY VIII & HIS WICKED WIVES
Henry was a king of England, long time ago, in the year 1509. He is well known for his executing ax and the six wives he had. Henry, was not actually supposed to be a king, but when his older brother Arthur died of an illness, henry is put heir to the throne. He also gets his brother's fiance, Catherine of Argon (who was 16, and was 6 years older than her next husband.) Some people thought this decision as some what too hasty, but they did not have to worry about the new couple's life, as Henry fancied his wife anyhow. Henry ruled his region skillfully, and was also well respected and loved by his court ……until the trouble of wives began.
WIFE NO.2 . Anne Boleyn
Anne was small, beautiful, and bossy, and when she saw Henry being crazy over her, she played hard to get. This made her seem all the more attractive to Henry, so he divorced his first wife and married Anne. However, when he got upset when Anne produced a girl,(Queen Elizabeth) he was out raged and when he finally got tired of her, he sent out rumors that Anne was a witch, and executed her. And as Henry said, Anne Boleyn had six fingers!!
WIFE NO.3 Jane Seymour.
Jane was the only wife who the king said he had really loved. Jane, was also the woman who was able to give the king what he wanted for so long, -a baby prince to lead the kingdom after he was out. Jane only stayed on the throne for18 months!! She died 12 days after Edward, the baby prince was born.
WIFE NO.4 Anne of Cleves
She was very ugly and when Henry first saw her, he called for an execution for the painter who draw her. He then started to rack his brain about how to ditch his wife. Again, he divorced.
WIFE NO .5&6
The fifth wife and the king were different in 28 years of age. The 21 year old queen flirted and was executed. Lastly, for queen no.6, she survived Henry and when he died, she married again.
Now that's history!!!

Corporal punishment Alan
Corporal punishment is a very complex and controversial topic. It's hard to decide what is right and what is wrong when discussing how to discipline children. For those of you who are not familiar with the term corporal punishment it is the use of physical force with the intention of causing a child to experience pain for the purpose of correction or control of the child's behavior.
A lot of people think corporal punishment can be an effective punishment and deterrent for childish misbehaviour and it is happening in Korea. If children do not respond seriously to warnings or light punishment from teachers or parents, then a short, sharp stimulus, which inflicts pain but no lasting damage, is the last "method" they choose. Some will say it is because of cultural or historic problem. It is a fact that Korea was using a lot of physical punishment. But children are crying. Children are hurt. And what do they say is "it is for your own good." Do they really care about us and give us a punishment? Or it is a discrimination? It is never right to hit a child. Even, the power of physical punishment can not teach "why" it is wrong, it just tells weather it is wrong or right. What is the point of the punishment? It is to tell why it is wrong. But just using the punishment and children do not know why it was wrong? What are they learning?
It is true that corporal punishment is the easiest way to stop the misbehavior and it is also the easiest way to make future chaos. No matter how orderly you make the beating of a child, there are a number of adverse effects. They will lose trust in the adults who administer the beating; they learn that force is an acceptable factor in human interaction; they lose self-respect; and they build up resentment that cannot be resolved at the time but may lead to severe misbehaviour in the future.
Corporal punishment, do we really need this? Is it an effective way or anly making children painful? We have to ban the corporal punishment. Lots of people are getting hurt.

NEWS AND VIEWS. -COLLEGE EXAM DAY and all the fuss-MARGARET***
These days there had beeen some rochet about college exam. It was on the news and on newpaperes and was also the hotteset topic on peoples mouth. Why all the intention of an exam? This exam, also called PSLE in some countries can be seen as the turning point of one's life. This ten hour exam,(including breaks and lunchtime) can determine and judge one's future. If you pass in flying colours, you shall be in seventh heaven , living and enjoying your life in high sprits. Really, you would have no worries. You would have the approvement to go to a celebrating college and to get a promising job and the right to look in the mirror and see someone worthwhile. Not likely a chance anybody want to lose? huh? So ,all the fuss is quite and must be understandable and well respected. And now, considering this exam as the sudject, our government is failing to do its duties of sponsoring and helping the testers. They have, in fact, even contributed in helping the students to paritically lose more marks!
Our government had hand out special mechanical penciles for the students,especially prepared for the exam.(distributing the pencil is to stop the students to do any other possible kind of copying) However, it was found that the penciles were rubbish and the gratite we put in kept on breaking. This penciles enraged our students as they rushed on the streeets and in to the school demanding a refund for their lost grades. The news anouncer had also tried to write a poem with it, but, it broke 26 times while writing. Ironically, this kind of disgrace is given to our students to write good answeres on worksheets.
This is not a small matter to look and pass. Our students have been studying for ages for this moment and now they are losing innocent grades just because of the lack of care and attention about what they use and the condition. We should try to respect and give all our attention to the students and to support them while they go through one of their tougheset times. I want to say this on the students behalf and also, my behalf too. As only being a primary student, I shall too ,one day enter this period of hysterical studying. And I wish that when my turn really come, I shall not get the un-attention my fellow students got this year.
