Deviations from normal temperature patterns of the southern Pacific Ocean, between Australia and
South America, result in the phenomenon called El Niño. Under normal conditions, eastern trade winds
blows across the Pacific. These drive sun-warmed surface water from the central Pacific to the coast of
northern Australia. When clouds form above this area of warm water and move over Indonesia, Papua New
Guinea, and Australia, they bring rain with them. Every two to seven years, however, this pattern is
interrupted by the El Niño event.

During El Niño, the Pacific Ocean of Australia does not warm as much as it normally does. Instead,
it becomes warmer right up to the coast of Peru in South America. At the same time, the easterly trade winds
that blow across the Pacific reverse their direction. This causes high-pressure systems to build up to the north
of and across the Australian Continent, preventing moist tropical air reaching the continent. These conditions
in turn result in storms, and in rain falling in the eastern Pacific Ocean and in South America instead of in
Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia, which suffer drought conditions.

While the effects of El Niño are sometimesweak, at the other times they are verystrong. During a
severe El Niño period,extreme drought conditions prevail,as in 1982 - 1983 and 1997-1998. In
contrast,heavy rainfall and flooding occurredin parts of North and South America.In 1997, there were severe
storms andAustralia, they bring rain with them.Every two to seven years, however,this pattern is interrupted
by the ElNiño event. During El Niño, the PacificOcean of Australia does not warm asmuch as it normally
does. Instead, itbecomes warmer right up to the coastof Peru in South America. At the sametime, the easterly
trade winds thatblow across the Pacific reverse theirdirection. This causes high-pressuresystems to build up
to the north offloods in Mexico and further northalong the west coast of the UnitedStates.

The converse of the El Niño effect is theLa Niña effect, which is an exaggerationof normal
conditions. This takes placewhen trade winds blow strongly andconsistently across the Pacific
towardsAustralia. This pushes the warmwaters from the central Pacific, off thenorthern Australian coastto
build upinto a mass that is bigger than normal.Thus, much more cloud develops thanusual, and this brings
considerablymore rain to Australia and neighbouring countries.

Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be allowed because it is rude, harmful to others
and dangerous for the smokers.

Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of the smoke affects all people and can turn
them off their food. People pay to taste good food and not to be put off by foul smelling smoke.

Another reason smoking should not be allowed in restaurant is the harm it can do to others. Passive
smoking that is breathing in smoke made by a smoker can lead to asthma attacks and even cancer.

Finally, smoking is dangerous and a health risk to the smokers. Cigarettes cause heart and lung
disease and people should not smoke anywhere, not just in restaurants.

Therefore, smoking in restaurants is impolite, harmful to others and a health risk to the smokers and should
not be allowed in any restaurants.

The levels of advertising are just too much these days. You cannot walk down the street, ride on a
bus, watch television or read your email without seeing advertisements.

Advertising has a positive role to play in modern society, helping us choose between competing
goods. Many adverts are drawing our attention to products with new features, for example more powerful
computers, telephones which are also cameras and music players, or foods with added vitamins. Other
adverts try to compete on price, helping us seek out thecheapest or best value products. In most cases
advertising does not make us go shopping – we would be planning to buy food, clothes, gifts and
entertainment anyway. What advertising does is to help us make better decisions about how to spend our
money, by giving us more information about the choices available.

On the other hand, advertising leads to many people being overwhelmed by the endless need to
decide between competing demands on their attention – this is known as the tyranny of choice or choice
overload. Recent research suggests that people are on average less happy than they were 30 years ago -
despite being better off and having much more choice of things to spendtheir money on. The claims of
adverts crowd in on people, raising expectations about a product and leading to inevitable disappointment
after it is bought. Shoppers feel that a poor purchase is their fault for not choosing more wisely, and regret
not choosing something else instead. Some people are so overwhelmed that they cannot choose at all.

When author Nicholas Sparks sat down to write The Notebook, a tender love story inspired by the
enduring relationship of his wife Cathy's grandparents, he wanted his readers to walk away with a renewed
spirit of hope.
"I'll never forget watching those two people flirt," he recalls. "I mean, you don't see that very often.
They’d been married 67 years, and yet they still loved each other. I wanted to write a book about that kind of
love. I wanted people to know that unconditional love does exist."
So Sparks created The Notebook, the simple story of Noah Calhoun, a soft spoken North Carolina
outdoorsman who carried his love for the willowy Allie Nelson with him long after their youthful romance
had ended. He paralleled Noah's silent passions with Allie's haunting thoughts—feelings she could not
escape even after she became engaged to another man. He asked his readers to consider what it might mean
if these relatively happy, middle-aged people found their destinies once again overlapped.
He presented a question all but universal in appeal: What would happen if two people were given a
second chance at the love of a lifetime?
Sparks deftly answers that question. But it's the inspiration drawn from his real life grandparents that
makes The Notebook more than just a novel of flames reignited. The novel opens and closes with an elderly
Noah Calhoun reading aloud from his personal journals and "notebooks." And as he shares the delicate
details, the good with the bad, it's clear he is as enchanted with Allie in old age as he was on the day they
met.
"And that’s the legacy of The Notebook," according to Nicholas Sparks. "When love is real, it doesn't
matter what turns the road takes. When love is real, the joys and possibilities are endless." — Reviewed by
Kelly Milner Halls

Edison once worked for the railroad. Something happened that changed the course of his career.
Edison saved the life of a station official's child, who had fallen onto the tracks of an oncoming train. For
his bravery, the boy's father taught Edison how to use the telegraph.
From 1862 to 1868, Edison worked as a roving telegrapher in the Midwest, the South, Canada, and
New England. During this time, he began developing a telegraphic repeating instrument that made it
possible to transmit messages automatically.
Edison moved to New York City. Within a year, he was able to open a workshop in Newark, New
Jersey. He produced the Edison Universal Stock Printer, the automatic telegraph, the quadruplex, as well as
other printing telegraphs, while working out of Newark.
Thomas Alva Edison died in West Orange, New Jersey on October 18, 1931. At the time of this death,
