——— the city that never sleeps, new york ☽

-



Located at the mouth of the Hudson River in southeastern New York state, New York is one of the world's great cities. It has the largest population of any city in the United States, and it is unrivaled in the diversity of its neighborhoods and their often-colorful residents. New York runs the gamut from great concentrations of wealth, epitomized by luxury apartment buildings and hotels and mammoth corporate headquarters, to the grinding urban poverty of its ethnic and racial ghettos. A major financial and economic center, it is also a cultural mecca that has attracted generations of artists and intellectuals and draws millions of tourists every year. In its 400-year history the city has grown and changed rapidly, repeatedly renewing itself through successive waves of immigration and urban development. As a new century approaches, it remains, perhaps more than anything else, a city on the move.
New York is made up of five districts, called boroughs.
  • Manhattan is the central part of New York. It is the smallest district with an area of only 60 square kilometres. All of the city’s majorbanks and the stock exchanges can be found here. It is the seat of the city’s government and the home of cultural institutions.
  • Brooklyn is a major seaport and the centre of industry. It has the most residents of all boroughs and is known as the district of churches and homes.
  • Queens is the largest of New York’s boroughs. It consists of rows of single-family houses and is often referred to as the city’s biggestsuburb. Whites, Hispanics and Blacks live together in Queens.
  • The Bronx , a residential district with many apartment buildings, is the only borough situated on the mainland.
  • For many years Staten Island could only be reached by ferry. Today, the borough is connected with Brooklyn through the Verrazano – Narrows Bridge. The opening of this bridge in 1964 led many New Yorkers to move to Staten Island.

——— natural phenomena: the pink lake hillier of australia

-

We learn from geography classes that water bodies are marked with blue on the map. But nature likes to mess with us and creates oddities just like Lake Hillier in Western Australia. With its mere 600 meters in length, Lake Hillier is not one that will impress you by its size. Nor will it impress you by its diverse fishes that inhabit it. Lake Hillier delights your eye with its pink colour. Moreover, it lies just next to the Pacific Ocean, thus if you watch it from above, the contrast between the mellow pink of the lake and the blue of the ocean is striking. Why is Lake Hillier Pink? The exact cause of Lake Hillier's distinctive bubblegum or strawberry milkshake color is not known for sure. Most scientists do agree it has probably something to do with the presence of a specific species of microalgae -  Dunaliella Salina . These salt-loving photosynthetic microorganisms generate energy by using other parts of the visible light spectrum except in orange/red frequencie

To: Padjajaran University Scholarship Selection Committee To Whom it May Concern, It is my pleasure to recommend Aufa Nur Hidayah for the Medical School Scholarship. For the longest time, Aufa has always had interest on taking medical major for university. I have known Aufa for 3 years now. During the time I have known Aufa, she has been hardworking with her task. I rarely seen her give up with any of her works. She is an independent person, because she has lived alone in dormitory for 6 years. She also can easily manage money, so that she became a treasurer in my class and also in one of the extracurricular in my school. Also, she was a head of moneymaker in Tur Budaya committee. Additionally, Aufa can manage her emotion very well. I'm very sure she will become a nice and friendly doctor, and the patient can easily like her. In summary, I highly recommend Aufa for the Medical School Scholarship in Padjajaran University. She will be a valuable doctor in the future. I
