I follow the competition Model United Nations (MUN) in Alsa UI. Actually I wanted to follow the Speech Contest, but the quota for Speech Contest is full so I chose MUN. My preparation for MUN  was only four days before its held because I was exposed to Dengue. Because two weeks before MUN  I went to Bromo and on the way back, my body was suddenly feverish. Then I was exposed to Dengue. Actuall I had not completely recovered from Dengue when i was at the competition. MUN lasted for three days, while the Alsa UI lasted for 6 days. My opponent sduring MUN werr really experienced, exciting, friendly, there is always backstabbing involved but it's part of the game  During MUN we use the names of the State. We all become the representatives of countries. I  was the delagate of Indonesia. My first friend was the delagation of Belgium from SMAN 8 Jakarta. she was a friendly person and also fluent in English. The hardest rival for me is the Deputy of  Denmark and Egypt. Deputy of  Denmark from one private High School in Jakarta, he was a good man but also serious and his vocabulary is advance. While representatives of the Egyptian State from SMAK 1 BPK Penabur Bandung, he's a good person, friendly and his vocabulary is also very good. Deputy of  Denmark and Egypt had known each other for a long time ago because they had often followed the contest together. MUN contest this time is the 8th contest, followed by representatives of Denmark, whereas this is the first MUN contest for me. At the first time of the contest I was very nervous because I barely understand anything about MUN and when  looking at opponents I will face, they look very good at. Because I did not know anyone I just hang out and talk with SEF. But, suddenly there was a man using a red coat hit me. After that we became acquainted. she was deputy of  Belgium which I told you before. During the contest  we had to wear a suit or formal. After I saw how my other opponents speak, I finally decided to be confident and keep talking without thinking of shame. Every new motion or offered filed a motion, I always raised my hand and talk to take that chance. During the contest we are not allowed to talk with other participants. If we want to other participants, we must write notes and send it to them. The point is MUN much use strategies. Eventually people began to believe in Denmark, Indonesia (me), Egypt and Belgium to more dominating opinion. When at last session we did not find the best solution. So, we ended up using way 'hompimpa' to determine the solution that we'll use. And finally we are friends. Closure of the contest was held tomorrow from 7 pm to 10 pm. But, because I was still ill, I could not attend the closing ceremony. Suddenly there are a lot of notice in my phone. It turns out everyone congratulated me because I won the second. For me second place is not bad for this time, because this is the first time I follow MUN. First prize won by Denmark and the third place by Egypt. I think this race is fun because this race requires that you must have a friend. If not, your argument will be rejected.

Animal

Grizzly Bears

The Grizzly is one of two subspecies of Brown Bear occurring in North America. The Grizzly may weigh from 350 lb. for a small female, to as much as 700 lb. for a large male. This bear derives it’s name from it’s coloration: the silver-tipped hair gives the animal a "grizzled" appearance.

Intelligent and curious, grizzlies will investigate any new object found in their environment. They are known to be fast learners. If a bear finds part of a chocolate bar on a path, he may make repeated visits in case another chocolate bar turns up. 75% of the Grizzly’s omnivorous diet is derived from plants. They may become selective when food is abundant. During a salmon run they may even abandon male fish to concentrate on catching females in order to dine on the more nutritious salmon eggs. 

Grizzlies, are strongly motivated during the summer months to gain weight in preparation for the months of hibernation. (Not a true hibernation, since they are easily awakened.) The instinct to hibernate is an adaptation to life in places where winter conditions, such as reduced food supplies and decreased mobility, may threaten survival. Newborns may weigh less than l lb., and can increase their weight as much as 1000 times during their 30-year lifespan. Grizzlies are devoted mothers and cubs remain with them for two to three years, during which time they learn their survival skills.

Though generally shy and peaceful, with an inclination to stay away from humans, Grizzlies usually has been precipitated by the victim’s lack of knowledge about bears. The Grizzly population has dwindled dramatically since the first European settlers, eager to take control of the new land by making it safe for themselves and their livestock, systematically decimated the huge predators. They also turned a nice profit by selling the pelts, which were extremely popular.

By 1900, the Grizzly had been eliminated from the Great Plains and the surrounding hill country. Though the Grizzly is the California State Animal and appears on our state flag, the last of these magnificent creatures in California was killed in 1922. A few scattered populations totalling only 800-900 bears still survive in the lower 48. The Grizzly is currently classified as Endangered

Broken Friendship

 

I wish I knew the way to fix a friendship

Like this plate, as broken as can be

It's really such a shame

And nobody's to blame but me

I wish I knew the way to fix a friendship

To put together what has come apart

It wouldn't be so strange

To bring about a change of heart

Oh, what if Pooh is angry?

What if Piglet cries?

Oh, maybe I should ask him

But is that wise?

And if I really lost him

The best friend I've ever known

How sad I'm gonna feel

Looking through the woods alone

I know I might find out that Pooh is angry

I know I'll bring a tear to Piglet's eye

And I can't bear the thought

But if he's mad or not

Still, I really ought to try

I've got to try

For the only way to fix a friendship

Is to try.
