BERRY


The word berry has two meanings: one based on a botanical definition, the other on common identification. True (botanical) berries are a simple fruit having seeds and pulp produced from a single ovary. In common parlance, however, berries are more broadly recognized as small, round or semi-oblong, usually brightly colored, sweet or sour fruit.
In botany , the berry is the most common type of fleshy fruit in which the entire ovary wall ripens into an edible pericarp . The flowers of these plants have a superior ovary and one or more carpels within a thin covering and fleshy interiors. The seedsare embedded in the common flesh of the ovary. Examples of botanical berries include the tomato, grape, lychee, loquat, lucuma, plantain, avocado, persimmon, eggplant, guava, uchuva (ground cherry), and chili pepper.

In common parlance, berry refers to any small, sweet, juicy and brightly-colored fruit. By contrasting in color with their background, berries are more attractive to animals that eat them, aiding in the dispersal of the plant's seeds. Most berries are edible, but some are poisonus.

Berry colors are due to natura pigments synthesized by the plant. Medical research has uncovered medicinal properties of pigmented polyphenols, such as flavonoids, anthocynains, and tannins and other phytochemichals localized mainly in berry skins and seeds. Berry pigments are usually antioxydants and thus have oxygen radical absorbance capacity ("ORAC") that is high among plant foods. Together with good nutrient content, ORAC distinguishes several berries within a new category of functional foods called " superfruits", a rapidly-growing multi-billion dollar industry that began in 2005 and is identified by DataMonitor as one of the top 10 food categories for growth in 2008.

A 2007 report combined four criteria — nutrient content, antioxidant qualities, medical research intensity and commercial success — giving an approximate rank of commercial activity for six exotic superfruits, including three berries — wolfberry, sea buckthorn and açaí — as the highest rated.

From 2007-8 medical literature discussing berry nutrients and potential health properties, grape, strawberry, cranberry and blueberry are the most favored research topics among berries currently.

The Dark Knight’s Star-Studded NYC Premiere

With the normally red carpet turned funeral black in honor of late actor Heath Ledger, the New York City premiere of “The Dark Knight” turned out to be quite the star studded affair.

Held at AMC Loews Lincoln Center on Monday evening (July 14), the movie’s stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and Maggie Gyllenhaal were joined by Hollywood guests ranging from Blake Lively and Lauren Conrad to Emile Hirsch and Edie Falco.

Britney Spears is the Girl-Next-Door Again

Here’s no doubt that Britney Spears is becoming the girl-next-door that we all originally fell in love with when the pop star exploded onto the music scene. She has turned over a new leaf for sure, going in a few short months from crazy psychopath to loving homebody. Spears has been making big moves, trying to show the public, her family, the courts, and herself that she can live life as a normal human being and even more than that, she can be a loving and devoted mother. Now that Britney has regained visitation rights with her two boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James. She even had her mother over at one of their recent sleepovers and has been spending some girl-bonding time with her mom, Lynne Spears. And it sounds like they made quite a pretty picture. From Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“In town since Wednesday, Lynne and Britney have been enjoying some one-on-one time together shopping at the True Religion warehouse and Pottery Barn on Friday before enjoying a “girls dinner” of salad, sushi rolls, and fish at Bond St. restaurant. One source said Britney looked great,
“Britney walked in with a big smile and introduced her mom to the staff. She looked gorgeous, and I have never seen her in a better mood. She was laughing the whole time she was here. Britney seemed to have the best time hanging out with her mom and friends.”

And she seems to be stepping into the new role as Auntie quite well too. WIth the arrival of Maddie Briann, her sister Jamie Lynn Spears’ new baby girl, the whole family loves calling her “Aunt Bee” in reference to the fact that Britney used to love watching old reruns of The Andy Griffith Show in which the character, Aunt Bee, was her favorite.

Fashion This Week

For Girls:

If You Could Start & Stop a Trend

Trend to stop:

1. Hoop earings: MUST GO, they look really cheap and make you look like a pirate.

2. Peasant Tops: If you wear a bra, I suggest most not-likely to wear a peasant top.

3. Make-Up on young kids: My parents have a theory that wearing make-up all the time makes you look nice, but when you take off the make-up you look terrible and most fashionably don't look as good as the other kids/girls wearing make-up!!!!!

Trend to start:

1. Baseball T-shirts: are really cool and look good on everyone.

2. Denim Shoes: Look awesome stylish and cool with any out fit.

3. Denim Jackets: AS some people like I say there's nothing like a good 'ol denim jacket and it goes with anything.

What's the rule for wearing jean jackets and jeans?
Do they have to match and do they have to be the same color?

Let's see. This is somewhat of a complicated question because sometimes mixing jean colors can look really tacky. If you're wearing really dark bottoms and have a light jean jacket that is semi-ok. If you have all light on then it's ok..it gives you that vintage look...even if they are dark sometimes they can be compatible. the best thing is to ask a friend for their color theory. What's really hip right now is the full matching jean outfit.


For Boys:
Match, don’t match

Certain color combinations almost always work. Complementary colors, such as blue and orange, create high contrast and draw attention to the wearer. A good strategy for pairing complementary colors is to wear a lot of one and a little of the other. For instance, a blue shirt with orange racing stripe or blue button-up shirt with pumpkin tie creates a punchy, vibrant look. Blending values close to each other on the color wheel makes for an elegant, harmonious look. Blue and green or blue and purple patterned shirts are hot right now. Resist the temptation to match colors exactly. While a monochromatic look comprised of various shades of the same color, such as blue or purple, can work very well, matching exactly affords no dynamics and makes the wearer blend into the background and look dull. Focus on contrast.

If used well, these simple tips will help you build a look that incorporates color and flair, contrast and life, and maximum style.

Katakana

KATAKANA

Katakana is used when writing down foreign names, places, and words of foreign origin (If you are not from Japan,your name can be written in katakana). Without knowing katakana, one might find it almost impossible to order fast food in Japan, or read billboards on the street. This is because Japan uses so many words borrowed from other languages.

The structure of katakana is similar to hiragana(if you know one the other is easy to learn). The main difference between the two is katakana is composed of straight lines, where hiragana uses curved lines.

This week I will show you some countries as large as Japan with their katakana spellings.

Japan's land area is approximately 378,000 km². It is often said that Japan is a small country. However, the archipelago stretches some 3,500 km from the northernmost end to the southernmost end, which means that climate and scenery vary gre

atly from region to region. A fact that is not very well known is that Japan is smaller than California in the United States, which has a land area of about 411,000 km².


Doitsu (Germany)

Furansu (France)

Igirisu (United Kingdom)
イギリス

301,000 km²
Nyuujiirando (New Zealand)
ニュージーランド
269,000 km²
Betonamu (Viet Nam)
ベトナム
330,000 km²

They didn't exist until relatively recently. Nowadays the Japanese use many borrowed words from English and other foreign languages (please refer the previous article "Borrowed Words" and "Borrowed English"). Since it is hard to express all sounds by the basic 46 characters or their regular combinations, the Japanese have developed new combinations that are formed by adding a small "a, i, u, e, o" for several foreign syllables.

Hiragana

HIRAGANA

There are 46 hiragana characters for 46 different sounds. Hiragana are used for expressing "grammatical" elements such as particles, and endings of adjectives and verbs which show tenses, etc. Kanji are used for expressing "meaningful" elements such as nouns and stems of adjectives and verbs.

It is possible to write entire Japanese sentences in hiragana. If an adult forgets certain kanji which are rarely used, he/she may substitute hiragana for them. Since the basic 46 hiragana symbols and some modifications of the suffice for all Japanese sounds, Japanese children start to read and write Japanese all in hiragana before making an attempt to learn some of the two thousand kanji currently used.

Japanese is written in a combination of three scripts:hiragana,katakana, and kanji. Kanji represents ideas or objects, hiragana expresses the grammatical relationships between them.katakana is used for words of foreign origin. Like romaji, both hiragana and katakana characters represent one syllable and have no meaning other than the representation of sound. Though Japanese is usually written in a combination of three scripts, Japanese sentences can be written in either hiragana or katakana only. I think learning hiragana and katakana is a good start for Japanese writing.

I will show 46 basic hiragana characters this time, and in the following lessons I will introduce how to write them.

MILK


Milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the mammary glands of female mammals (including monotremes). It provides the primary source of nutrition for newborn mammals before they are able to digest other types of food. The early lactation milk is known as colostrum, and carries the mother's antibodies to the baby. It can reduce the risk of many diseases in the baby. The exact components of raw milk varies by species, but it contains significant amounts of saturated fat, protein and calcium as well as vitamin C.

In many cultures of the world, especially the Western world, humans continue to consume milk beyond infancy, using the milk of other animals (in particular, cows) as a food product. For millennia, cow milk has been processed into dairy products such as Cream, butter, yogurt , ice cream , and especially the more durable and easily transportable product, cheese. Industrial science has brought us casein,whey protein ,lactose ,condensed milk ,powdered milk , and many other food-additive and industrial products.
