equator to the arctic poles. According to Stiling (1999), temperature decreases by 1 C for every 100 m increase in altitude in dry air. This abiotic factor is an important consideration in crop or site selection for more productive crop farming. Coconut prefers an elevation not exceeding 600 meters above sea level (masl) (PCARRD 1982); for better quality, tea is best grown above 1000 masl while rubber requires not more than 500 masl because at higher elevation latex flow is restricted…

Monty Python The reason why Monty Python’s parody is so brilliantly funny is because it challenges our core fundamentals of heroics. As children we are taught about heroes such as the knight and shining armor riding a trusty white steed who rescues the damsel in distress. Monty Python exaggerates the reason for the heroic act and portrays the heroes as being pompous and arrogant. Monty Python is a parody that focuses on the humor of King Arthur as he and his knights search for the Holy Grail.…
To start off, I came up with the idea of a tiger as the head, as it is a national symbol, and it is the national animal of Malaysia. While the tiger also indicates bravery and agility in the Malaysian culture. Whereas, I used the orangutan because it is indigenous in the island of Borneo which includes parts of Malaysia. However, the orangutan is often seemed to show happiness and fun. Moreover, I used the Malayan tapir, because it is indeed a unique creature, due to the fact it almost resembles…

Ha Noi is my native town: I have been living here since I was born 16 years ago. If I had to choose the most beautiful time in Hanoi, I would say autumn without hesitance. ‘Describe fall in Hanoi’ is the essay title that I have written more than 10 times since I started going to Primary School; however, each time I wrote the essay, my emotions are different. Autumn is everywhere, but the Autumn in Hanoi still distinct and beautiful. Blue sky, sunlight spread lightly on the streets, on the trees…
Vegetables such as broccoli, cucumber, potatoes and green beans are rich in low fats so they help in the reduction of stomach acid. While non-citrus fruits are less likely to stimulate reflux symptoms unlike the citrus ones e.g. apples, bananas, coconut, watermelon, grapefruit, and cantaloupe. A high-fiber diet may also reduce the symptoms of reflux, as they absorb the stomach acid and can't be digested e.g. whole grain bread, whole grain rice, and oatmeal. In addition to lean meat which is…
from is a drink! Without a drink, a lunch would feel dry and not as enjoyable. Drinks like Gatorade help replace electrolytes used throughout the day. Going with water can be just as enjoyable. Different drinks also complement an item. For example, coconut juice would not go well with chili, but Coca-Cola would complement…
“Amari lifted her head to the night sky. Bright stars decorated the darkness above, and she wondered if they were the same stars the had winked at her so far away in her homeland,” (Draper 211). In the book, prior to the quotation, Amari, Polly, and Tidbit had just wandered into the woods after being freed by the doctor. Ameri was looking into the night sky wondering if everything in her life had changed or if parts of her old life were still with her. Sharon Draper, as the author of the Copper…
I feel like my cultural identity is best served with something sweet. My favorite dessert that my late grandmother used to make for the family or friends called “cascaron”. Cascaron is a Filipino dessert that is basically dough balls, made of coconut, flour, and water mixed and deep fried until it’s golden brown then covered with syrup of sugar. When you look at cascaron it’s all golden brown ball with glazed with syrup. What people don’t realize until they take a bite of it, that it’s white and…
