feathers may be much 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

is no mixing of arterial and venous blood, but the arrangement of veins and

“Bisa Saja” is choosen as the
first single of the album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric reflects
the story in the movie. Budjana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing
acoustic guitar in “ Cinta Terakhir “. Three other brand new 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 expressed his interest in
making soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few of GIGI songs, which the
producer accepted because of the chemistry they created with the movie. Since
GIGI can provide a variety of colors to add all kinds of musical nuances to
enrich the movie, the producer deemed it 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 makes BROWNIES tastier.

Brownies in your mouth. But having it in your stereo set is more entertaining.

excellent.

Is Smoking Good For Us?

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.

develop bronchitis 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 many amazing things. Television is a great
invention, but there are arguments for and against whether it is the best
invention of the twentieth century
Television was invented in the1920s and first came
to Australia in 1956. It has played an important role in communicating news. We

television. For these reasons I feel that television could be considered the
best invention of the twentieth century.
On the other hand, there are other inventions that
could be considered better than television. Some might argue that computer
should be awarded the distinction of being the best invention because computer
has made life easier. Others might argue that medical inventions such as heart
pacemakers are best inventions because they help to save live.
It can be seen that there are reasons for and
against television being considered the best invention of the twentieth
century. After looking at both sides I 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.

for transmitting and receiving images. Facsimile machines resemble small
photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a telephone or are connected to
one. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the
telephone number of the receiving fax machine. 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
