modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are
modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest
fossil birds is very short, and the visible tail is composed of feathers only.
The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals the only other

song “Dilema”,“Jangan Bilang Pacarku” and “ Semua Orang Berhak Mendapat Rasa Bahagia”,
gives supporting nuances to the movie flow as GIGI composed them by imagining
how the scenes would like look based on the screenplay.
When
Hanung Bramantyo, the director, and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chated, Budjana

unnecessary to find other musicians to complete OST of BROWNIES. Armand Maulana
(vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (Bass player) , and
Gusti Erhandy (Drum-stand-in player for Budhi haryono) put a lot of effort to
this album. As a result, they’ve created perfect blend of movie and songs that

Is Smoking Good For Us?
Before
we smoke, it is better to look at the fact of smoking effects, not only for
smokers but also for non smokers. About 50 thousands people die every year in
Britain as the direct result of smoking. This is the seven times as many as
deaths in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases
caused by smoking.

percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a
day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non- smoker. If
we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen times greater. Ninety
five percent of people who suffer from bronchitis are people who smoke. Smokers
are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non- smokers.

and pneumonia. In one hour in a smoky room, a non-smoker breathes as much as
substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.

During the twentieth century the world has witnessed the inventions of

argue that medical inventions such as heart pacemakers are best inventions

still believe it is the best invention.

Facsimile,
often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over telephone
lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories and photographs
to newspaper and television stations. Banks, law firms and other businesses use
facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other organizations.

After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine
moves across the page and converts the image into a set of electric signals.
These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. Then
machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original
document and then prints a copy.
Some business people use small desktop fax machines or
portable models at home or when they travel. A personal computer can also be
used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with a special electronic
circuit board called a fax board
