Children can Imitate from Their Parents and Friends’ Drinking's Behavior

Even though children’s drinking is to imitate from their friends, it’s also that parents' drinking’ behavior can impact to their children. For example, when children see their parents drunk too many times, they might imitate as their parents’ action in one day. Other example, the more time teenagers spend with friends, the more likely they are to drink alcohol. According on BBC news website, in a survey of 5700 children, one in five children have been drunk at age 14, and half of them have been drunk at age 16. Moreover the children who have been drunk will affect to their education as well because alcohol can impact many negative things to them. In my opinion, I suggest that parents should be careful about their acting that can affect problem to their children, and one more thing is that I hope children who are below 18 should not try with alcohol. An addition, children should think before doing something, especially think that it’s good or bad for themselves and society.

Unforgettable Memory

This video song “Best Friend Forever” was on June 2008, and that day was my graduation ceremony at Phnom Penh Hotel.

Steel-String Acoustic Guitar

Steel-String Acoustic Guitar

            Guitar is a kind of musical instruments, and it’s usually played with a pick or player’s fingers. There are mainly 2 types of guitar-acoustic and bass. They can be divided in to 3 different groups according their characteristics-classical guitar, steel-string acoustic guitar and archtop guitar. However, in this blog I will describe only steel-string acoustic guitar.

            Basically, there are 4 main parts of guitar such as head, neck, strings and body. First of all, head of guitar consists of 6 knobs that are used to adjust the strings to make a fine tune. Then comes the neck which is the part that connects the head to the body. It also supports the 6 strings. As it is an acoustic type guitar, it has 6 strings; each string has differences thickness. The strings produce vibration when played. Last, the body is a bulky part which has a hole in the middle. This is the description of the four main parts of guitar.

So have you ever wondered how guitar produces a beautiful tune? 

A guitar player firstly adjusts the strings to ensure that it’s not too loose or tight because the guitar will produce an undesirable tune. After strings are adjusted, the player can start to hold and strike the strings according to the chords. These actions produce vibration which then passes through the hole in middle of the body where the vibration is amplified to produce a fine tune as the end product. Actually this fine tune is the aspect that makes guitar lovely.

            In conclusion, all the four parts are very important for producing a fine tune. In my opinion, I’m pleasure to listen to guitar song because it’s a great musical instrument.

Here is a cool video "Right Here Waiting" of Steel-String Acoustic Guitar:

Our Future Planes!!!

 

Northrop Grumman Concept

Have you ever heard about future planes before? And who will invest on this project? For these, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) invest these projects and only three companies, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and The Boeing, have won a contract of making planes which will be able ready in 2025.

Boeing Concept

Lockheed Martin Concept

However, for these projects, NASA wants companies have to design the planes up to fly 85% of speed of sound (SoS=1236 km/h), 1050.6 km/h if compare to normal speed 836.86 km/h in present, carry from 50,000 to 10,000 pound, larger which cans carry more people and things. Quieter, burn fuel slower and can fly a range about 7,000 miles that are the problems of them to make a perfect project. Anyway, I agree with the projects to make future planes, and I believe that our future planes will be useful for people and the fly will reduce the duration, and have more comfortable.

History of Paper

Bamboos Scrolls (in the past)

 

             

  

          Do you know why people need to write? I believe that writing is used to stock information, transfer data, share ideas, expression… etc. and do you know what did people use to write on? According to my research, before inventing the paper in China, bone and bamboo as tablets were used to write as the paper to make the documents for a long time ago. However, the light material of silk was rarely used to write because it’s too expensive than the bamboo or bone. By 105AD, Paper was originally invented by Chinese in Han Dynasty and spread slowly and slowly to other countries. Then, since people knew that the silk was too cozy and tablets of bamboos were heavy, they found the way of using paper for writing to be easier to carry. Finally, papermaking was advance in 19th century, they created paper from the steam-driven machine which be made as the book-size quantity and was updated to be better until nowadays.
