Act 2 Scene 2
Setting: Capulet's orchard
The famous balcony scene.
Romeo, hiding in the orchard, sees Juliet appear on her balcony.
She speaks of her love for him. She wishes he was not a member of the Montague family.
Romeo listens, Juliet notices someone is there. He dares not say his name, for he is a Montague, but Juliet recognises his voice.
Romeo says that his love for her made him come to find her.
Juliet is afraid that things may be moving too quickly but agrees that they should marry.
She explains she will send a messenger to Romeo the next day to find out the arrangements Romeo has made for their marriage ceremony.
The first time the thirteen American colonies declared themselves a free nation was in the Declaration of Independence, written in July of 1776. By then, the colonies were fed up with being ruled from afar by Great Britain. A bloody war for independence broke out – The revolutionary War.
At the start, winning the war seemed impossible. How could the ragtag rebel army ever defeat Great Britain, the mightiest military power in the world? But a fierce drive to be free fried the rebels’ spirits.
By 1783, the war was over – and the colonies were no longer colonies. They were states in a free and independent nation: the United States of America!
Even while at war, the new country had needed some sort of government. So, in 1776, a group of leaders of the Revolution had quickly patched together some rules. They were called the Articles of Confederation.
Nobody wanted a government that was all-powerful. That’s what the states were breaking away from. So, they created a congress that was too weak to do any harm. Unfortunately, the result was a government that was too weak to do much good, either.
By 1787, just four years after the United States’ glorious victory, the young country was in trouble. National pride didn’t exist yet. In fact, if you asked most people what their country was, they named their state. It was easy to see why.
Over their whole lifetime, people rarely traveled more then thirty miles away from where they were born. In 1785, a man from Georgia wrote that he was leaving his “country” to go to “a strange land amongst strangers.” The “strange land” was New York!
States quarreled often over where their state boundary lines were and which state “owned” certain rivers. Enemies abroad smirked at America’s troubles. Didn’t all this arguing prove that the upstart nation was not capable of ruling itself without a powerful king?
America’s young government needed fixing and soon. So, during the horribly hot and sticky summer of 1787, fifty-five men from twelve states gathered in Philadelphia for a special meeting. (Rhode Island wouldn’t come.) Their mission was to change the Articles of Confederation. Most had no idea they were going to frame – to plan out – a whole new system of government!
The framers, which is what history books call these men, had to find answers to big, thorny questions. Who decided if the United States would go to war again? What powers should happen if our leaders abused their power? Who should be allowed to vote? How would laws get passed?
For four months, the framers debated.... and debated... and debated. Tempers flared. Voices rose. Every man cared deeply about his ideas. It was hard work to listen to the other side. So much was at stake! They knew they were trying to decide the fate for “millions yet unborn,” as delegate George Mason said.
At some points, writing a new constitution seemed hopeless. Would an agreement ever be reached?
Dodos were type of flightless birds which looks like a duck that had existed once then they were extinct, and here's how they extinct! From the year 1662 AD, Many Humans hunted them for food and cats as well. And their habitats were destroyed by deforestation. invasive species like humans and animals including rats, pigs and monkeys preyed on dodo eggs and young birds and there was no food for them and causing them extinct. Those species were meant and believed to extinct. And that's it.

Ressalta-se, ademais, que a impassibilidade social contribui para a persistência do PROBLEMA. Nesse contexto, o intitulado "Paradoxo da Moral" é um livro escrito pelo filósofo francês Vladimir Jankélévitch para exemplificar a cegueira ética do homem moderno, ou seja, a passividade das pessoas frente aos impasses enfrentados pelo próximo. Analogamente, percebe-se que o TEMA DELIMITADO encontra um forte alicerce na estagnação social. Essa situação ocorre porque, infelizmente, a sociedade não se movimenta em prol da erradicação dessa problemática; pelo contrário, adquire uma posição individualista. Nessa perspectiva, a mudança do comportamento social é vital para superar esse paradigma.

My honey, I know you belong to somebody new,
But tonight, you belong to me.
У світі є безліч дивовижних фактів, які здаються фантастичними, але є цілком реальними. Наприклад, у пустелі Наміб в Африці живуть жуки, які збирають воду з туману. Вранці вони піднімаються на вершину піщаної дюни, підставляють спину до вітру, і дрібні краплі вологи конденсуються на їхньому тілі, стікаючи просто в рот. Цей природний спосіб виживання настільки ефективний, що інженери наслідують його для створення пристроїв збору води у посушливих регіонах.
На іншому кінці планети, в Ісландії, є річка, яка змінює колір кілька разів на рік. Її вода відтінюється від бірюзового до червонуватого через мікроскопічні водорості, які реагують на зміну температури. Це природне явище створює враження, ніби сама природа малює пейзаж у реальному часі. А ще там є гейзери, які викидають воду на висоту до тридцяти метрів — саме від ісландського слова «geysa» і походить слово «гейзер».
Людський мозок — один із найскладніших об’єктів у Всесвіті. Він здатен генерувати близько двадцяти ват електричної енергії — цього вистачило б, щоб запалити маленьку лампочку. У ньому понад вісімдесят шість мільярдів нейронів, які створюють трильйони зв’язків. Але найцікавіше, що мозок не зберігає спогади як архів — він кожного разу «переписує» їх наново, тому кожен спогад трохи змінюється щоразу, коли ми його пригадуємо.
У світі тварин теж не бракує див. Дельфіни можуть впізнавати себе у дзеркалі, а восьминоги мають три серця і здатні змінювати колір не лише для маскування, а й для спілкування. У Японії живуть мавпи, які вивчилися мити солодку картоплю у морській воді — вони не лише очищають їжу, а й підсолюють її на смак. Цей звичний для них ритуал уже передається від покоління до покоління, тобто це справжній приклад тваринної культури.
У природі є місця, які здаються фантастикою. В Ефіопії існує Данакильська западина — місце, схоже на поверхню іншої планети. Тут вода, земля й повітря переплітаються у кислотних джерелах і гарячих соляних кратерах, що сяють усіма кольорами веселки. Температура вдень може перевищувати п’ятдесят градусів, але навіть у такому середовищі живуть бактерії, які вважаються одними з найдавніших форм життя на Землі.
У світі музики є свої чудеса. Наприклад, у Фінляндії щороку проводять чемпіонат із «повітряної гітари», де учасники грають на уявному інструменті з такою пристрастю, що публіка вірить у кожен акорд. А в Італії, у місті Монрепо, є печера, у якій камені видають чисті музичні звуки, коли по них ударяти. Їх називають «співучими скелями», і вчені досі досліджують, чому саме ці породи резонують таким гармонійним тоном.
Навіть у повсякденних речах є магія. Наприклад, сніжинки ніколи не повторюються. Кожна має свою форму, яка залежить від температури, вологості та швидкості падіння. Це означає, що у всій історії Землі не було двох однакових сніжинок. І навіть якщо вони тануть за секунди, кожна з них — унікальне мікроскопічне мистецтво.
Такі факти нагадують, що наш світ не просто місце, де ми живемо, а величезний живий організм, повний таємниць і краси. Іноді достатньо лише трохи сповільнитися, вдивитися в деталі — і навіть у звичайному дні відкривається диво, яке змінює сприйняття життя.
The reading and the lecture both discuss whether genetically modified (GM) crops should be used to address the issue of food shortages. While the author of the article believes that GM crops should be widely planted because they increase production, resist pests, and are safe for humans, the lecturer casts doubt on the statement in the article. He points out that GM crops may pose serious long-term environmental and health risks.
First, the reading points that GM crops can increase crop production. However, the lecturer disagrees with this viewpoint. He explains that GM crops may harm the environment by spreading their genes to wild plants, which could disrupt the natural ecosystem. Therefore, we should not focus only on short-term economic benefits while ignoring long-term environmental consequences.
Second, the author notes that GM crops are resistant to pests and diseases, making them easier to grow. The lecturer believes there are flaws in the writer’s argument. The speaker holds that this resistance will not last. Over time, pests can evolve and adapt to GM crops, making them ineffective. This would eventually create even bigger agricultural problems.
Finally, the reading states that GM crops are safe for human consumption. The lecturer strongly disagrees. In contrast, there is no long-term research confirming their safety. Since humans consume crops every day, introducing GM crops without clear evidence of safety could be dangerous.
To sum up, both the reading and the lecture discuss the use of GM crops to address food shortages. However, they hold conflicting views about GM crops.
While the global economic and market outlook faces a range of uncertainties each year, growing geopolitical tensions, protectionism, unilateralism, tariff disputes and financial market volatility in major economies have heightened concerns about the risks facing international markets in the year ahead. Although global financial markets have generally performed well this year, record-high gold prices and significant fluctuations in digital asset values reflect a trend toward diversification away from USD-denominated assets as a means of mitigating risk.
Despite persistent geopolitical and economic uncertainties in the international environment, we remain convinced that candid communication and exchange help dispel misunderstandings, enhance mutual understanding and build trust among economies.
During my stay in the US, I will also meet with local financial institutions, representatives of investment funds, major chambers of commerce, academics and think tanks. In addition to exchanging views on current trends and developments in international finance and trade, I will brief them on Hong Kong’s latest developments and competitive advantages — particularly the potential of the Northern Metropolis and the thriving opportunities presented by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) — while addressing topics of interest to them.
Despite global uncertainties, Hong Kong will, as always, uphold its status as a free port under the “one country, two systems” arrangement. We remain committed to maintaining a simple and low tax regime, and to implementing open, stable and predictable economic and trade policies. We welcome foreign investors — including those from the US — to invest in and grow their businesses in Hong Kong, sharing in the opportunities the city offers. Hong Kong’s unique strengths — its connectivity with the Chinese Mainland and the world, a high degree of internationalisation, and the convergence of global capital, institutions, and talent — are particularly pronounced in the current climate. The city offers a familiar, business-friendly environment that aligns seamlessly with international best practices.

India’s success story in poverty reduction often begins with economic metrics. Over the past three decades, while millions have moved above the income poverty line, the cost of disease has pushed millions in to poverty. Beneath this economic narrative lies a quieter, more pervasive deprivation: nutritional poverty. Unlike income poverty, which is visible in statistics, nutritional poverty is hidden in blood reports, fatigue, and the gradual erosion of health across generations.
It is a paradox of modern India that people in both rural hamlets and urban high-rises suffer from poor nutrition. The poor are deprived of nutrient-rich food because they cannot afford it; the rich, because they do not know what to eat. The first is a poverty of access, the second a poverty of awareness. Together, they form a national crisis that no income index captures.
It's time to get Windows 11 (to get break) and also Chat Copilot (Copilot Chat) and much more, it has a copilot thingy in this taskbar and others taskbars, the copilot thingy is in the right. There will be also Microsoft 365 Copilot and much more.
Windows 11 is more better to solve, because all of us can have more than once. That update costs 5 mins to solve to find windows 11 and scanning to upgrade your data (64 GB and more). That Windows 11 can be much better than Windows 10; each similar to each other. Windows 11 (in the middle) of the taskbar, Windows 11 is apps. You can just do it in the Search Bar, (or) sometimes Search web & PC, Search the web, Search web &..., and also had the news of it. It has the new Microsoft Outlook features, Microsoft Word features, Microsoft PowerPoint features, Microsoft Excel features, Microsoft Teams features, and etc.
Time to get Windows 11!
