                                                 Charcoal

Have you ever used charcoal for cooking? Many years ago, Thai

people used charcoal for cooking because the process of making

charcoal was very easy. People could make it by themselves. At

present, charcoal is as essential and popular as cooking stoves. It is

cheaper and safer than cooking stoves. Using charcoal for cooking

makes food more delicious and can be kept food a long time.

          In the economy recession when people have low salary, people

choose to consume cheap products. For cooking, should be used

charcoal because it is cheaper than gas and can be uses as gas

substitute. The price of charcoal is stable unlike gas which tends to be

high continuously. In the past two years, the price of charcoal was

15 baht per kilogram. Now, the price of charcoal remains constant.

On the other hand, the price of gas has raised form 20 baht to 24 baht

per kilogram. So if we use charcoal for cooking, we can save a lot of

money.

          We can easily find charcoal in market near our houses. If we do

not want to buy charcoal, we can make it by ourselves. The process of

making charcoal is very easy. Therefore, we can make charcoal with

little investment. We can make charcoal by following this process.

First of all, dig a hole as large as we would like and find some wood

to make charcoal. Secondly, put the wood into the hole and spread

some chaff on the hole. Then, bury the hole. After that, burn it for at

least 10 hours. Lastly, remove lump coal form the hole. When we

open the hole, we will see a fresh batch of pure lump coal. We can use

it for cooking.

          Besides, charcoal is safer than gas. When we use gas we have to

be careful and should not forget to turn off the stoves. Explosion is

main danger of gas that can make us and family members seriously

injure. Therefore, we should use charcoal for cooking because it can

be extinguished by itself.

          In conclusion, charcoal is better than gas especially with people

low salary. Cooking food by roasting or on a barbecue using charcoal

will be beneficial. If we use charcoal for cooking our food will taste

and smell good. Do we want to use charcoal for cooking? If our

answer is “yes” let’s do it with our next meal.

What is a surrogacy mother?

 A surrogate mother is a woman who carries a fetus for someone else, usually a couple struggling with fertility issues. After the child is born, the surrogate surrenders it to the people who have hired her. There are various forms of surrogacy, some of which have been used historically, while other are more modern.

One form of surrogacy, traditional surrogacy, involves using artificial insemination to impregnate the surrogate mother. This technique is often used when a woman is physically unable to bear children, but she still wants to have children with her partner. In this case, the partner donates sperm, or sperm is secured from a third party if he is infertile as well, and the surrogate contributes half of the required genetic material. This type of surrogacy has been around for centuries, although it was not widely discussed until the twentieth century, since some women felt ashamed because they could not bear children.

Modern surrogate arrangements usually involve gestational surrogacy. In gestational surrogacy, the couple commissioning the surrogate mother donate both eggs and sperm. The egg is fertilized in a test tube, and then implanted into the surrogate. In this case, she acts almost like an incubator, carrying the child to term for a woman who is unable to do so.

        Advantages and Disadvantages of Eating at Out Restaurants

          Do you like eating out? Nowadays, life becomes more and more

comfortable but people are very busy. They don’t have time to

prepare and cook meals at home. So, someone prefers eating out at

restaurant. However, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

          There are many advantages of eating out. First of all, eating out

can save time and very comfortable. At restaurant, we can be more

relaxed. When we eat out, we do not have to cook and serve food

ourselves. Therefore, we can also save time because we do not have

to go the market to buy fresh food, prepare meals and even clean

dishes. We can choose food from the menu. Moreover, eating out

make us understand about restaurant etiquette. People are almost

always expected to eat with a knife and fork. These should be held in

the correct hand and used in the correct way. It is also impolite to

have our elbows on the dining table when we are eating. A further

advantage is to change eating atmosphere. This can help us feel more

 relaxed. We can enjoy the atmosphere around us, such as seeing

smart men and women. We can find new place to bring our boyfriend

or girlfriend for special meals.

          In contrast, there are certain drawbacks of eating out. Firstly,

eating out make us spend a lot of money. When we eat out, we have

to pay not only for the food, which is sold at a higher price than it real

value, but also for the service such as tips, parking fee, etc. Moreover,

unhealthy food is mainly served. In restaurant, food is preserved by

using some dangerous substance to make it tastes delicious and eye-

catching. It is harmful to our health since those spices are mostly

made of chemical elements and not listed in the menu. If we want to

diet, eating out cannot control calories, oil and monosodium

glutamate. Finally, eating out might decrease relationship between

family members. We do not prepare food and cook it together can’t

talk to our children about school or our spouse about his day at work

over dinner. If we are too busy to cook at home, we may not be able

to spend valuable time with our loved ones.

          In general, eating out is a reasonable choice for everybody

because we can save time and change eating atmosphere. Moreover it

can help us gain deep understanding about restaurant etiquette. On the

other hand, it makes us spend a lot of money with unhealthy food.

Eating out can decrease good relationship among family members.

So, we should make up our mind to eat out or eat in.

The Widener Library

The Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library is Harvard University's flagship library. Built with a gift from Eleanor Elkins Widener, it is a memorial to her son, Harry, Class of 1907, an enthusiastic young bibliophile who perished aboard the Titanic. It had been Harry's plan to donate his personal collection to the University once it provided a suitable alternative to the outdated and inadequate library then located in Gore Hall. Mrs. Widener fulfilled her son's dream by building a facility of monumental proportions, with over 50 miles of shelves and the capacity to hold over three million volumes.

The library opened in 1915, but Harvard's collections continued to grow at an astounding rate and by the late 1930s, Widener's shelves were filled to capacity. Space was at a premium for staff and patrons as well as books, which led the library administration to begin a lengthy decentralization process. Over time Harvard built several new libraries to house the increasingly specialized collections. By redistributing books to new libraries, space opened up in Widener, but it was gradually given over to the growing staff hired to attend to the collections.

In addition to the physical challenges associated with housing and maintaining an ever growing collection, the 20th century also saw technological advancements that affected Widener from electrical wiring to a computerized card catalog to sophisticated research workstations.

Widener Library ushered in the new millennium in the midst of its greatest change since opening in 1915. From 1999 to 2004, the building underwent an extensive renovation to ensure the long-term preservation and security of collections and to increase user space. Renovations included an upgrade of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, humidity control, electrical, lighting, fire suppression, and security systems. In addition, two new reading rooms and staff workspace were created in the building's two interior light courts, and space previously designated for staff was reallocated for patron use.
