How Chocolate is made:

Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter the amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly how chocolate is made.

Chocolate is taken form a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruits are the tree's seeds. They are also known as coco beans.

Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they are shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate makers work by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. The beans form different places have different qualities and flavour. So they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix.

The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the meat nib of cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are grinds to make liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter.

All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat. It is pure bitter chocolate.

 

The most important stage to have good flavour of the chocolate is in .....

Named after one of her father's favorite crocodiles, Bindi Sue Irwin first appeared in front of the cameras when she was only a few weeks old. Her father, Steve Irwin, was the star of the popular nature program, The Crocodile Hunter.

Irwin shared her parent's passion for wildlife. Home-schooled, she grew up surrounded by the animals at the Australian Zoo which is owned and operated by her family.

She experienced a terrible loss in 2006 when her father died after strung by stingray while snorkeling on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. At Steve Irwin's memorial service, held at the Australian Zoo, she spoke warmly of her father, calling him "her hero".

In memory of her father, Irwin starred in the 2007 television documentary My Daddy the Crocodile Hunter. She continued  to work on her new wildlife series for American television, Bindi : The Jungle Girl, which debuted that same year, with the young wildlife enthusiast educating and entertaining viewers with stories about animals. She rode an elephant, played with a phyton and introduced her audience to her pet rat, Candy. Irwin even sang and danced on the show with her back-up group, known as the Crocmen. Along with her mother, Irwin also appeared in the documentary series, Planet's Best with Terri and Bindi, around time. 

Though the show only lasted for 26 episodes, Bindi : The Jungle Girl found a second life on Australian television. The series aired there in 2009. Back in the states, Irwin has made appearances on such talk showa as The oprah Winfrey Show on recent years.

What can we learn from the text about Bindi Irwin?

Imagine a tiny snake robot crawling through your body, helping a surgeon identify disease and perform operations. It's not a science fiction. Scientist and doctors are using the creeping metallic tools to perform surgery on hearts, prostate, and other organs. The snakebots carry tiny camera's scissors and forceps, and even more advanced sensors are in the works. For now, they are powered by tethers that humans control. But experts say the day is coming when some robots will roam the body on their own.

"It won't be very long before we have robots that are nanorobots, meaning, they will actually be inside  the body without tether," the cardiac surgery chief at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Medical Center, Dr. Michael Argenziano said.

Dr. Argenziano was involved with some of the first US Food and Drug Administration clinical trails on robotic heart surgery more than 10 years ago. Now he says snake robots have become a commonly used tool that gives surgeons a whole new perspective. "It's like the ability to have little hands inside the patients, as if surgeon had been shrunken, and was working on the heart valve," he said. However Dr. Argenziano and experts in robotics say the new creations work best best when they are designed for very spesific tasks. "The robot is a tool. It is no different from a scalpel in that sense. It's really a master-slave device," he said.

Schumacher to retire again

Michael Schumacher announced his retirement from formula one for the second time at the age of 43 on Thusrday after failing to rekindle his old Ferrari magic in a disappointing comaback with Mercedes.

The team had already announced last week that the seven-time world champion, winner of a record 91 races in a career that started in 1991, would be replaced by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton for the start of the 2013 campaign.

Schumacher told reporters, packed into the confined space of the tented Mercedes hospitality at the Suzuka circuit ahead of Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix that his decision came as a relief.

"I have decided to retire by the end of the year, although I am still able and capable to compete with the best drivers that are around," he declared, reading from a statement.

"But at some point, it is good to say goodbye. And that is what I am doing here ... and might this time be forever," he smiled.

Schumacher first retirement came at the end of 2006, after he had won five titles in a row with Ferrari from 2000 and won two with the Benetton in 1994 and 1995.

That departure proved premature, with the most succesful driver in 62-year history of the sport unable to resist the allure of a return with Mercedes. Schumacher said he now wanted to enjoy his last six races-Reuters
