SaTeLLitE

In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an object which has been placed into orbit by human endeavor. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon.History of artificial satellite.
The first artificial satellite was Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on 4 October 1957. This triggered the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the United States.
In May, 1946, Project RAND had released the Preliminary Design of an Experimental World-Circling Spaceship, which stated, "A satellite vehicle with appropriate instrumentation can be expected to be one of the most potent scientific tools of the Twentieth Century. The United States had been considering launching orbital satellites since 1945 under the Bureau of Aeronautics of the United States Navy. The United States Air Force's Project RAND eventually released the above report, but did not believe that the satellite was a potential military weapon; rather, they considered it to be a tool for science, politics, and propaganda. In 1954, the Secretary of Defense stated, "I know of no American satellite program."
On July 29, 1955, the White House announced that the U.S. intended to launch satellites by the spring of 1958. This became known as Project Vanguard. On July 31, the Soviets announced that they intended to launch a satellite by the fall of 1957.
Following pressure by the American Rocket Society, the National Science Foundation, and the International Geophysical Year, military interest picked up and in early 1955 the Air Force and Navy were working on Project Orbiter, which involved using a Jupiter C rocket to launch a satellite. The project succeeded, and Explorer 1 became the United States' first satellite on January 31, 1958.The largest artificial satellite currently orbiting the Earth is the International Space Station.

COMMUNICATIONS

There is much discussion in the academic world of communication as to what actually constitutes communication. Currently, many definitions of communication are used in order to conceptualize the processes by which people navigate and assign meaning.
We might say that communication consists of transmitting information from one person to another. In fact, many scholars of communication take this as a working definition, and use Lasswell's maxim, "who says what to whom in what channel with what effect," as a means of circumscribing the field of communication theory.
A simple communication model with a sender transferring a message containing information to a receiver.Other commentators suggest that a ritual process of communication exists, one not artificially divorceable from a particular historical and social context.
Communication stands so deeply rooted in human behaviors and the structures of society that scholars have difficulty thinking of it while excluding social or behavioral events. Because communication theory remains a relatively young field of inquiry and integrates itself with other disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, and sociology, one probably cannot yet expect a consensus conceptualization of communication across disciplines.
Currently, there is no paradigm from which communication scholars may work. One of the issues facing scholars is the possibility that establishing a communication metatheory will negate their research and stifle the broad body of knowledge in which communication functions.
Many of the problems that occur in a organization are the direct result of people failing to communicate. Faulty communication causes the most problems. It leads to confusion and can cause a good plan to fail. Communication is the exchange and flow of information and ideas from one person to another. It involves a sender transmitting an idea to a receiver. Effective communication occurs only if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender intended to transmit.
Studying the communication process is important because you coach, coordinate, counsel, evaluate, and supervise through this process. It is the chain of understanding that integrates the members of an organization from top to bottom, bottom to top, and side to side.

My rigorous effort in improving English,listening,writing,reading and speaking..,!

Theres no doubt that English is really important in our life.Even now,I have to use English in learning Physcs,Chemistry and Calclus.It’s quiet hard and tough but I have to,so I’m force to improve my English in order to get good grades.Despite that,I’m going to sit for my IELTS and God’s willing,I will go to oversea to further my studies.Obviously,I have to use English all the time.In addition,that is for the sake of my future and also for my job.As we all know,we need to use English in communication and especially while dealing with the foreigner.
In the way to do that,do a lot of exercises is the must.In order to improve my English listening,I like to hear people talking in English.From the conversation,at least I can learn many new words and pharases.Although,I don’t have time in a day I’m always trying to find time to surf the Internet and open the websites that Miss Eliza suggested to us.All those websites are really helpful.Besides,I can get new words,the pronounciation and also get familiar with the usage of the word in writing and conversation.However,thank you to my beloved lecturer,Miss Eliza who is always give us listening test in class.
Then to improve my writing skill,I need to read a lot and obviously I have to keep on practicing.I think we have done it since our lectures are really kind to give us a lot of exercises on writing.By the way,we have our blog and we are compulsory to write every week related to the topic that Miss Eliza gave us.Otherwise,our marks will be deducted.
Besides that,almost in every class we have writing test either test 1 or test 2 and sometimes both.I think that is not enough,so I take the initiative to read a lot.i like to read Reader’s Digest and newspaper.In the same time,I can be more knowledgeable and improving my thinking skill.
Same goes to my reading skill,of course I have to read a lot and get familiar with more words and pharases.For this time being,I’m trying to improve my reading skill answering the question.In order to do that,I need so many words in my hand.Otherwise I can’t understand the phararaph.Sometimes I like to read dictionary and sharing new words with my friends.In college life,we are use to speak in English especially in class and sometimes in conversation.I’m always try to find the best way to improve my speaking skill,so that’s why I like to talk with Arabic students.Sometimes,it’s hard to communicate with them but it is really interesting to know them,their culture and heritage.I really have fun.
Overall,I think the most important thing is I have to do a lot of exercises and work harder.I tend to think that those four skills,listening,reading,writing and speaking are just the same.Despite all these thing,I have to follow all the rules and advices,not forget always surf the websites that our lecturer suggested to us.I believe that as long as I keep on practicing and put in my best effort,one day I will succeed in improving my English.

My Eid experience

It is often said that cherish the moment and appreciate what we have before it is too late.Before one day we regret it because we lost something that we love so badly.For me,the most precious thing in this world is my family especially my parent.Seriously i can't imagine how my life could be without them.

Nothing in this world can replace them because they are apart of my life.That's why every year in celebrating Eid,I never futile all the time that we have together.I love them with all my heart.

Same like in the past years,this year I didn't futile the opportunity to cherish the moment with all my family members.Maybe this year is more special since we have two new members,my brother in law and also my cute nephew.We are so glad they can be apart of my family.The nigt before Eid,we prepared everything together,we arranged the house,set the curtain and we were even arguing because I didn't like my sister's idea.However that is what we cal the colourful of life,all the bad times make us more close and care about each other.The most funny is my mother was yellig because my brother ignited the cannon outside of my house.

On the first day of Eid,I was really touching to see my mother was crying and hugged us.She kissed us with all her love and sincerely.On that time,I couldn't express or even describe my feeling.For me,they are so noble and the greatest parent ever.I love them with all my heart and they can not be replaced.After that,we all together went to my grandmother's house.she's 98 years old and sadly she couldn't recognize her grandchildren.But,I really had fun and enjoyed myself there.In addition,I can meet all my cousins,aunties and uncles.The best thing is I can eat all type of food,of course ketupat,rendang,lemang and all that.My mothe didn't cook all these thing this year and such a poor thing because for me that is the must in every Eid.luckly I can eat that,if not there is no longer significant of Eid.Then,we went back to my house while 3 of my sibling came back toyheir own house.

The next day,we continued to visit my relatives' and neighbours' houses.For us the important thing is just to ask for forgiveness for all our wrongdoings with sincerey.Despite all these thing,I also can eat my favorite cookies.The first thing to do in every house,I will find my favorite cookies.Beside that,only on Eid I can have the chance to meet my friends and my ex-schoolmate.Actually I miss them so much and it's hard to meet them since we are far away from each other,to find our life and ensure our dreams.I never forget them and I still can see the frozen image of us standing hand in hand.

Although some people believe that,on Eid we have to wear mew cloth,buy new things but for me in whatever condition or wherever place we celebrate it,it is just the same.The important thing is we have to understand the meaning and the significant of Eid which ask for forgiveness with each other and strengthen our bones.

Education_curriculum

Curriculum means any activities that we do out side the class.Either camping,sports,debate or any activities.Curriculum also is about learning,learning something that we can not get in class.Most of students nowdays always think that curricular is not important and don't bring any significant.They are totally wrong.Its about experiences and in the same time build our self confidence.There are a lot of benefits if we are involving in curicular activities.Besides that,it can make us more mature,tough and also to be ready to face any obstacles and chalenges in future.In addition,we can making new friends to share opinion or maybe just for fun.By involving in the curricular activities also can help us to improve our communication skills and know anything happened in our surrounding.It is so useless,if we just study and never involve in any activities.I think it's like eat rice without any dishes.For me,involve in curricular activities is like colouring our life.When I was in school,I really active in school activities and I can see the effect in myself today.Not like before,now I become more mature and my communication skill also is getting better.Now I'm not longer afraid to speak in front of other people and I can even lead others.That is something that i cannot do before.I can see by myself the benefit of involving in curricular activities and I hope all of you also can do the same thing.Grab this chance...Only you deserve to decide you life on how it should be...
