La Niña
La Niña is a climate pattern that describes the cooling of surface-ocean waters along
the tropical west coast of South America. La Niña is considered to be the counterpart
to El Niño, which is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the
equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean, for it has the opposite effects.
La Niña means “Little Girl” in Spanish. It is sometimes simply called "a cold event." In
the past, it was also called an anti-El Niño and El Viejo, meaning "the old man".
La Niña events occur on average every 3 to 5 years or so, but on occasion can occur
over continuous years. In the historical record, the interval between events has varied
from 2 to 7 years. Each La Niña condition typically lasts approximately 9-12 months.
Some episodes may persist for as long as two years.
La Niña causes the sea surface temperature in Indonesia’s territories to become
warmer. Such a condition causes air pressure that triggers cloud formation, thereby
leading to an increase in the rains. Historical records show that La Niña can cause an
increase in the accumulated amount of monthly rainfall in Indonesia to 40 percent
above normal. However, the impact of La Niña is different across Indonesia.

GREATEST LOVE OF ALL


by Whitney Houston

I believe the children are our future


Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody searching for a hero


People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfil my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago


Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all


Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

conversational scenarios, providing learners with opportunities to practice their spoken
English.
By using AI for learning spoken English, learners can enjoy many benefits. Firstly,
AI provides flexibility in terms of time and location. It also offers interactive learning
experiences through voice-enabled exercises, interactive lessons, and virtual conversations.

guides, and language drills, improving overall language proficiency.
When choosing an AI-powered spoken English course, it is important to consider
certain features. They are real-time feedback on pronunciation, intonation, and grammar;
interactive dialogues and simulations; a variety of learning materials and practice exercises
to ensure a comprehensive learning experience.

Korean Kimchi
This authentic dish is served over rice with every meal in Korea. This can be altered

plastic and rust metal.
Ingredients:
 3 heads napa cabbage, cored and cut into quarters lengthwise
 ½ cup salt
 3 heads garlic, minced
 1 bunch green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
 1 ½ tablespoons monosodium glutamate (MSG)

large, non-metallic bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 of the salt. Repeat layering all of
the cabbage that has been salted. Let it stand at room temperature until a lot of
liquid has been pulled from the leaves and the cabbage is tender, 3 to 4 hours;
drain. Rinse the cabbage in 2 or 3 changes of water. Drain it again very well and
return the cabbage to the mixing bowl.
Step 2
Sprinkle the cabbage with the minced garlic, green onions, MSG, and red
pepper flakes. Season to taste with additional salt and toss until evenly combined.
Pack the mixture into a sterilized gallon-sized glass jar. Cover the jar with wax
paper and a loose fitting lid so the seal is not airtight.
