A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia. It has a small relative called a wallaby, that lives in Tasmania and New Guinea. Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, long and strong back legs, and a tail. These are used to sit up and jump. Kangaroos are well known for their 8-meter forward jumps and more than 3-meters high leap across fences. They can also run at the speed of over 45 kilometers per hour. The largest kangaroos are the Great Grey Kangaroos and Red Kangaroos. Adult kangaroos grow to a meter in length and 90 kilos in weight. Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of her body. The baby kangaroo is very tiny when it was born. It right away crawls into its mother's pouch where it spends the first five months of its life.                                                                                       Adapted from Peter Haddock Ltd, Ref.083

If someone is having a nosebleed, your priority is to control the bleeding and keep their airway open. Get them to sit down (not lie down) as keeping the nose above the heart will reduce bleeding. Get them to lean forward (not backward), to make sure the blood drains out through their pause every ten minutes until the bleeding stops. Encourage them not to speak, swallow, cough, spit or sniff because this may break blood clots that may have started to form in the nose. If the bleeding is severe, or if it lasts more than 30 minutes, call for medical help.

In case of nose bleeding, if the person speaks, ....

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS

Captain Phillips is an upcoming 2013 American biographical action thriller film directed by Paul Greengrass based upon the book, A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALS, and Dangerous Days Sea, by Richard Phillips with Stephan Talty, and starring Tom hanks. It is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De luca. The film tells a biopic of merchant mariner Captain Richard Phillips who was taken hostage for several days by Somali Pirates when the container ship Maersk Alabama which sailed from southern Oman down along the coast of Somalia and then to Kenya was hijacked in 2009.

Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), veteran merchant mariner, still lives in his native New England, and he's a plainspoken family man fall of anxiety about the economically bleak new world his kids are facing. When his wife (Catherine Keener) drops him off at the airport, we can see reverse her. The film then cuts to Somalia, a land of dust and poverty, where the pirates are recruited for their mission as if they were
migrant farm workers lining up to be chosen for that day's labor. Greengrass doesn't have to fill in much about the violent, chaotic breakdown of Somalia to let us know that these men have little choice.

The film does not generate quite the same level of excruciating suspense as some of Greengrass previous triumphs, but it nonetheless holds us hostage as it proceeds. As for the four Somali immigrants, they we remarkably effective in their first professional acting gigs.

Picasso was one of the most outstanding and important artists of the 1900's. He was best known for his paintings. Almost every style in modern art was represented in Picasso's works.

Picasso was born in 1881 in Malaga, Spain, as the son of an art teacher. He studied painting with his father and also in Madrid.

From 1895 to 1901, he painted realistic works in a traditional style. Then he entered what was called the Blue period. During this time, he only used shades of blue in his paintings to show poverty in Barcelona.

After 1907, he entered the style of cubism. Among his well-known cubist paintings are "The Three Musicians" and "The man with a guitar" which depicted the destruction of Spanish town. Picasso died in France in 1973.

I have a pet. It is a dog and I call it Snowy. Snowy is a Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy and cute. It has thick white fur. When I cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Snowy does not like bones. Every day it eats soft food like steamed rice, fish or bread. Every morning I give her milk and bread. When I am at school, Snowy plays with my cat. They get along well and never fight; maybe because Snowy does not bark a lot. It treats other animals in our house gently, and it never bites shoes.

We always spend time together at home. We do many activities: playing balls, hide and seek, or racing in the backyard. In the afternoon, I usually take her for a walk. People love to see Snowy. Snowy is really a sweet and friendly pet.
