Teddy Bear

Some girl like to shopping, some like to collect handbag, some like to buy Barbie doll. While boys like to collect stamp, coins, and even games cards.

I likes to collect teddy bear. For me, teddy bear is very cute to me since I was small. It is a soft toy that got story about it.

The name Teddy Bear comes from former United States President Theodore Roosevelt, who was commonly known as "Teddy" (though he loathed being referred to as such).The name originated from an incident on a bear hunting trip in Mississippi in November 1902, to which Roosevelt was invited by Mississippi Governor Andrew H. Longino. There were several other hunters competing, and most of them had already killed an animal. A suite of Roosevelt's attendants, led by Holt Collier, cornered, clubbed, and tied an American Black Bear to a willow tree after a long exhausting chase with hounds. They called Roosevelt to the site and suggested that he should shoot it. He refused to shoot the bear himself, deeming this unsportsmanlike, but instructed that the bear be killed to put it out of its misery,and it became the topic of a political cartoon by Clifford Berryman in The Washington Post on November 16, 1902.While the initial cartoon of an adult black bear lassoed by a handler and a disgusted Roosevelt had symbolic overtones, later issues of that and other Berryman cartoons made the bear smaller and cuter.
Morris Michtom saw the drawing of Roosevelt and was inspired to create a new toy. He created a little stuffed bear cub and put it in his shop window with a sign that read "Teddy's bear," after sending a bear to Roosevelt and receiving permission to use his name. The toys were an immediate success and Michtom founded the Ideal Novelty and Toy Co.

At the same time in Germany, the Steiff firm, unaware of Michtom's bear, produced a stuffed bear from Richard Steiff's designs. Steiff exhibited the toy at the Leipzig Toy Fair in March 1903, where it was seen by Hermann Berg, a buyer for George Borgfeldt & Company in New York. He ordered 3000 to be sent to the United States. Although Steiff's records show that the bears were produced, they are not recorded as arriving in the U.S., and no example of the type, "55 PB", has ever been seen, leading to the story that the bears were shipwrecked. However, the story is disputed - Gunther Pfieffer notes that it was only recorded in 1953 and says it is more likely that the 55 PB was not sufficiently durable to survive until the present day. Although Steiff and Michtom were both making teddy bears at around the same time, neither would have known of the other's creation due to poor transatlantic communication.

By 1906 manufacturers other than Michtom and Steiff had joined in and the craze for "Roosevelt Bears" was such that ladies carried them everywhere, children were photographed with them, and Roosevelt used one as a mascot in his bid for re-election.

North American educator Seymour Eaton wrote the children's book series The Roosevelt Bears, while composer John Walter Bratton wrote an instrumental "The Teddy Bears' Picnic", a "characteristic two-step", in 1907, which later had words written to it by lyricist Jimmy Kennedy in 1932.
Early teddy bears were made to look like real bears, with extended snouts and beady eyes. Modern teddy bears tend to have larger eyes and foreheads and smaller noses, babylike features that enhance the toy's cuteness. Teddy bears are also manufactured to represent different species of bear, such as polar bears and grizzly bears, as well as pandas.

While early teddy bears were covered in tawny mohair fur, modern teddy bears are manufactured in a wide variety of commercially available fabrics, most commonly synthetic fur, but also velour, denim, cotton, satin, and canvas.

Teddy bears are among the most popular gifts for children and are often given to adults to signify love, congratulations, or sympathy.

Ipoh Wall Art 1

Ipoh, my beloved hometown, is usually known for its heritage and good food. And maybe pretty girls – that’s just about it.

But now, there’s a new attraction in town, called the “Art of Oldtown“, which is the latest collection of Ipoh Wall Art Murals by Ernest Zacharevic , the same man who painted murals on walls along the streets of Penang’s Georgetown.

There are currently 7 spots around Ipoh Old Town. Therefore, during my recent trip back, I’ve decided to scout for the locations of the murals.

It’s simple to find them, as long as you’re good with maps and roads.

So here are the 7 Ipoh wall art murals locations with the exact road names and GPS coordinates.

Tomato Rice

The tomato is consumed in diverse ways, including raw, as an ingredient in many dishes, sauces, salads, and drinks. While it is botanically a fruit, it is considered a vegetable for culinary purposes (as well as under U.S. customs regulations, see Nix v. Hedden), which has caused some confusion. The fruit is rich in lycopene, which may have beneficial health effects.

I likes to eat tomato. So when I heard my friends  say about the tomato rice by rice cooker, I feel excited to try it. I searched the different type of recipe about tomato rice. After I try different version, at last I wish to share with you all with this recipe.

Let us prepare the ingredients. Serves for 3 to 4 people. 2 cups of rice, 2 tablespoons of butter,1 cinnamon stick, half cup of diced tomatoes with juice, 2 cup of water and half teaspoon of salt.

After prepare the ingredients, let us start.

First, rinse rice well by gently swirling the rice in the cooker pot with 2 or 3 changes of cold water. Drain rice and set aside.

Then clean out the rice cooker pot and wipe dry. Add the butter to the rice cooker pot, cover, and set to cook. When the base of the cooker pot gets warm, add the cinnamon and fry for about 2 minutes, covering rice cooker occasionally in the process of frying.

Stir in diced tomatoes, water or vegetable stock, salt, and rice; mix well. Cover rice cooker and cook the rice until done, about 30 minutes. (Cooking time varies with the kind of rice cooker used. Most automatic rice cookers will switch to Warm when the rice is cooked.

After rice is cooked, do not open the cover immediately. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to vent off the remaining steam. Fluff up the rice before serving.

It is so simple, healthy and easy to cook. Just try to cook during free. Share and enjoy this rice with the family and friends. Share happiness with other to get more happiness.

Movie Time

Hohoho movie time.I likes to share with all about a movie that named Big Hero 6.It is a storyline about a team of young geniuses and an inflatable medical robot team up against a supervillain threatening the city of San Fransokyo.

To start off simply, BIG HERO 6 is enjoyable, fast-paced family fare that will have your kids salivating like dogs at the prospect of running straight to the toy store. In that regard, Disney Animation has certainly succeeded. But if we're going to compare it to some of their recent films - like WRECK IT RALPH and FROZEN - it falls short of achieving the sort of sublime spectacle that has marked the studio's recent upswing in quality. It is also not exactly the epic Disney Animation/Marvel hybrid one might have hoped for, or at the very least, might have been expecting.
But I can't complain too much. After all, BIG HERO 6 delivers Baymax, the sweetest, most lovable character the studio has offered up since Wall-E. Baymax alone is worth the price of admission; only the coldest cretin wouldn't find a smile widening on their face at this puffy android's every appearance. In a way, Baymax embodies the movie's M.O.: He's cute in a harmless, uncomplicated way, sure to drive younger ones wild while giving adults something to appreciate.

I'll admit I was completely unfamiliar with the Marvel comic that inspired the film, although some quick research reveals that the inspiration is quite thin. The comic seems to be keeping in Marvel's penchant for darker, adult-themed stories, while BIG HERO 6 the movie is a candy-colored playground aimed squarely at an elementary school audience. It gets ever-so-slightly grim in a handful of sections, and it does the requisite heartstring-tugging, but otherwise it's a very easygoing 90 minutes. If anything, the main inspiration appears to have been Brad Bird, with notes of THE IRON GIANT and THE INCREDIBLES both keenly felt throughout.

The action takes place in the futuristic, multicultural city of San Fransokyo; young genius Hiro (voice by Ryan Potter) is wasting his potential hustling backalley robot-fighting events with the clever, unassuming bot he's engineered. His older brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney) is a grad student at a prestigious MIT-esque university, where he and his fellow "nerds" spend their days building fantastical inventions. Tadashi sees potential in his younger brother and wants him to enroll, and while at first reluctant, Hiro eventually agrees, making quick comrades out of Tadashi's inner circle.
Soon, tragedy strikes (in the way Disney's animated movies require) and Hiro finds he must grow up quicker than expected. A villain wearing a kabuki mask has stolen one of Hiro's great inventions - microbots you can form any shape with just by thinking about it - and is causing mayhem across the city. Hiro needs help to defeat this menace and he finds it in the unlikely shape of the aforementioned Baymax (scott Adsit, perfect), an inflatable medical robot. Baymax is a pure innocent, unequipped to handle anything other than a basic medical need, so Hiro outfits him with armor and a fighting program that makes him a karate expert. After helping his fellow nerds out with a variety of nifty superhero suits, the titular crew is ready - sort of - to take on the threat to their city.

Directors Don Hall and Chris Williams put on a nice show once these kids are ready to go into action, with nifty, tricked-out weapons and engaging flying sequences (Baymax gets wings!). The city of San Fransokyo is lusciously realized, a fully-formed metropolis we actually wish we could spend even more time flying around. The movie's entire palette is pleasing to the eye, and in 3D it all literally pops.

The problem - if it can be called that - with BIG HERO 6 is that it doesn't resonate much beyond the initial viewing. There's no particular message you walk away with, and the characters are more or less forgettable other than Baymax. Unlike the best animated movies, it feels very much like a cartoon as opposed to animated feature. That may be a case of semantics, but there's no doubt BIG HERO 6 comes off like an extended pilot for a forthcoming Disney Channel series. And that's okay, I guess. If this spawns a new franchise (it almost certainly will), there's room for the characters to grow and for even more impressive cities to visit. For now, BIG HERO 6 is a mild, good-natured beginning.

Maybe you missed all this movie, so just watch back during semester break to enjoy yourself. For me movie sometimes help to reduce my stress and also reflect the moral values of our view through the things happen around us.

We all are not born as prefect but we wish to learn be prefect. We are not so good in communicate, but we wish to try our best to do it. That are the way we learn in our life.

Planning

Recently, many report show that many youngers cannot afford to the financial problems in the life. In my view, we really need to do something on these issues. Maybe we are not so good in financial planning but we can learn start from now. Let us start together the article or tips for better financial planning.

Financial planning is simply the process of identifying your wealth accusation and protection goals and developing a coordinated plan to help prioritize your future financial decisions. Financial planning should be taken as seriously as a medical prescription, as it deals with your financial health.

It should be seen not just as a means of achieving financial security, but as making a vital contribution to our overall happiness and peace of mind.

Financial planning can be manageable or overwhelming, depending on how you approach it. Without guidance, it's hard to know what you need and when you need it. With the right information, tools and timeline, the choices become much easier.

A Financial plan has three key elements:

Define your goals: Define what you want to achieve. Include small and large goals, from taking a vacation or buying a car to providing for retirement.

Assess your tolerance for risk: The choice of investment options would largely depend upon the level of risk you are willing to accept. Greater risk means greater potential for higher return.

Develop a plan for how to reach your goals: The best strategy will depend on your goals and your risk tolerance.

In life, we all go through different stages. Each stage carries with it a new set of responsibilities and will require different planning. Financial planning can be broadly classified into three main stages of life, foundation, accumulation and conservation.

So we must think before buy anything. Let be a wise consumer.

Music

Music is one of the most important and powerful things in my life. My life without melodies and harmonies would be totally empty. Listening to and playing different tunes helps me to destress, relax and it can also help to motivate me in trying times. I love listening to music while on my way to school, as I feel it helps me to prepare for the day that waits. I think it is like the memoirs to my life as it has been there throughout everything with me. 

"Music is the key to your soul." How many times have you heard a song and you are suddenly transformed back to the place you first heard it or shared it with another person? A musical melody can trigger thoughts and memories of a favorite place, person or event.

Music is a universal language that can be shared with people everywhere. This is one of the many reasons I am passionate about sharing my God-given talent with people in different venues, including concert halls, churches, people's homes or stages.

When I was younger, I didn’t have the great love for musical as I do now. I mainly listened to whatever was playing in the background or what my parents were listening to. I didn’t have much of a care for musical compositions. There was sometimes a little bit of pop music thrown in to the mix here and there, but that’s really all I liked back then. Whether I was in the car, the house, or anywhere else there was sure to be some Beatles, Buddy Holly, or the Dubliners constantly playing somewhere in the background. At the time I didn’t care for that genre of music much, but now as I’m older, I enjoy it as it allows me to reminisce on memories from times of my childhood. Once I hit my teenage years music became my life and gradually started to inhibit my soul. 

I believe music has the ability to convey all sorts of emotion. Whether the emotion is joy and happiness or sadness and despair through rhythms, harmonies and the lyrics music shows it. The song “A little bit longer” by Nick Jonas is such an emotional and inspiring song that when I hear it, I always come close to tears, especially when I watch it being played live. The effect that music can have on our emotions is tremendous, as it can bring people to floods of tears or bursts of laughter.
The musical images that music and song are able to create are amazing. Music has the ability to transport me back in time just like a time machine. It lets me revisit lost and forgotten moments in life. Songs can paint a picture, for example in classical and country music where a story is being told. The music in classical music tells a story without lyrics which is an immensely powerful thing. I feel that this applies to the saying “music imitates life and life imitates music”.

Recently song writing has wandered its way into my life. I believe there is no better way to express myself than through song. After a bad day, it’s nice to be able to sit down and write about it. It can make all your problems just disappear and float away. Listening to other musical artists that I like gives me inspiration. My guitar teacher also points me in the right direction and gives me guidance as I need it. I love to just sit with my guitar and make up random lyrics about past experiences or what I’m going through at the moment.

I believe music effects people in many different ways. To me music is more than just something to listen to or play, it’s something to feel. Music is extremely important in my life. I think it brings me closer to my friends and family. I also feel that it helps me to get through things. For example, I remember doing the twenty six kilometre gaisce hike and the whole way along the hike we sang songs. Music is an immensely powerful thing and has a huge place in my life right next to my heart.
