Nuclear Power is so safe. I had worked at a manufacturing company for three years. This company makes Nuclear Power Plant’s equipment – auxiliary generator system, debris filter, condensate tube cleaning system, strainers and filter of variety , hangers and supports for pipe. I want to talk to you from purchasing of materials to set up of the products. I show you how to manage the products. So, I’ll introduce manufacturing, testing, and arranging of Nuclear Power Plant’s equipment.
Manufacturing is started by contracting with a customer. If we pass the price tendered from the customer, we’re starting to work on a project. First, I receive the Job Order from the business part of my company, which includes the price of the contract, the term of the contract, who my customer is, what my customer’s requirements are, what equipment I make, and so on. After the technical team draws the equipment by Computer Aided Design(CAD), and the drawing is followed by Nuclear Power Codes(NPC), the team gives the list of materials to the Purchase Team. The Purchase Team also buys all materials following by the NPC. When the materials come into the company, the Quality Assurance(QA) Team inspects that by the NPC. And then the materials are moved to the Manufacturing Team. This Team checks quality and quantity of the materials, then these are moved to the workplace for manufacturing. Workers make the equipment following by the NPC and the drawing. The QA team inspects the equipment everyday. Even if workers make mistakes on something, I don’t need to worry about it. We can find some problems when the QA Team inspects the equipment. Although we can’t find some mistakes, we will find some problems in the process of tests.
Testing is most important for identification of performance. We test differently for importance of the equipment. Tests are divided into visual, pressure, pneumatic, magnetic, ultrasonic inspection, and final tests are painting and visual inspection. When we do the test, almost all my customer’s inspectors attend to the testing place. We also do the test following by the NPC. We set the maximum value of pressure by the NPC. If we didn’t success the test, we must check specifically the equipment until we find problems. If we find some problems quickly, we test it again. If we need a lot of time to find the problems, we make an appointment with my customer when we’re going to meet. After a few days, we meet and test again. If we will pass some kinds of tests, we can move to the equipment to the next process. The next process is Painting. First, workers remove the rust by sand blasting. Second, they paint on the equipment by the NPC. We should wait for the equipment until it’s completely dried. And we will pack the product following by customer’s requirements. We ship the product to the place of shipment.
If our scope is manufacturing and testing, Arranging is the customer’s scope. So we can’t involve the equipment’s arranging, but we check the construction field day after day. Sometimes we visit the construction field to check that they’re arranging the equipment correctly and following by the NPC.
The government makes a decision to establish a Nuclear Power Plant(NPP) for increasing electric power. Many companies are involved to in manufacturing each other’s equipment for the NPP. My company is one of the companies to be able to make Nuclear Power equipment. We need a month to make equipment or sometimes we need over a year. It depends on the equipment’s importance. We should spend more lots of money and time to inspect the NPP’s equipment to compare with the other Power Plant. Because of the stabilization is connected by to people’s lives.
I explained the process of the NPP. We do inspect and test to the equipment step by step and very carefully. So, I am convinced of the stabilization of the NPP.

Causes of Heart Disease
By Irasema Tirado
Heart diseases affect so many people that it has become a serious concern for medical science. The heart is a complex organ that is vulnerable to hereditary as well as environment risks. Cardiologists think of these risk factors as either major or minor causes of heart disease. There are 5 major causes and 3 minor causes.
The first major cause of heart disease is the family history; you are at a higher risk for developing heart disease if your parent or your grandparents have had it. The second major cause is high blood pressure; this one causes the heart to work too hard and can damage arteries. The third major cause is high cholesterol levels; this is dangerous because fatty deposits build up in blood vessels. The fourth major cause is Diabetes; this one can lead to hardening of the arteries and heart attack. The last major cause of heart disease is smoking cigarettes; smokers are two or three times more likely to have a heart attack than nonsmokers.
The first minor cause of heart disease is being a type “A” personality, which means that you are easy stressed, competitive, aggressive, and intense. The second cause is having a sedentary lifestyle; this is when you don’t do enough exercise. The third and last minor cause is obesity. Obesity is a person who is extremely overweight and doesn’t have a good diet.
After knowing the major and minor causes of heart diseases the only thing we can do is avoid the facts that put in risk you heart. To lessen the risks of heart disease are: Don’t smoke. Nicotine raises your blood pressure because it causes your body to release adrenaline, which makes your blood vessels constrict and your heart beat faster. Control your blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, your doctor can suggest ways to lower it. If you're taking medicine for high blood pressure, be sure to take it just the way your doctor tells you to. Do exercise. Regular exercise can make your heart stronger and reduce your risk of heart disease. Eat a healthy diet. Add foods to your diet that are low in cholesterol and saturated fats, because your body turns saturated fats into cholesterol. Try to keep in clam. Remember that if you are aggressive, intense, stressful and competitive help to have a heart diseases.

The Macau Tower
By Elise Chan
The Macau Tower was built 9 years ago. The builder is the Gorden Moller team. It is almost 1109 feet in height. And the Macau Tower has many facilities, such as a revolving restaurant with two tiers, and exhibition and meeting facilities, and you can gamble also at machines in the Macau Tower.
Also, the Macau Tower has many recreation facilities, like bungy jumping, sky jumping, mast climb and sky walk. Bungy jumping and sky jumping are my favorite diversions at the Macau Tower.

Book Review: Girl Against the Jungle
By Anna Kim
This book is Girl Against the Jungle. The author is Monica Vincent. This story is about a girl in the jungle. It was Christmas Eve. Suzanne was with her mother at the Lima Airport in Peru. And she was aboard the plane. The plane took off and started to climb up into the sky. She looked out of the window. The sky was very dark. Then the rain started, and there was a flash of lightning. The plane started to spin. A bright yellow flame flashed out of the right wing of the plane.
She was wet and cold. “Where was I?” She could still feel her seat belt and she was still in her seat, but she wasn’t in the plane. She could see the jungle very clearly.
Suzanne’s father waited for his wife and daughter. He looked at his watch. The plane was very late. He sat close to the loudspeaker and listened carefully to the news. He heard a man’s voice: “This is the news. There have been terrible storms today. The 7:30 plane from Lima to Pucallpa took off late this morning. It crashed in the jungle this afternoon. There was 80 passengers on the plane. We are looking for the plane but we don’t know.”
He turned the radio off and he thought about his wife and his daughter. In the end, he went to bed, but he couldn’t sleep.
The rain hit her face. “I must get up and find my mother,” she thought. But she couldn’t get up.
She knows the jungle, so she was not afraid.
“Where is my mother? Where are the other passengers? Where is the plane?”
But her head felt strange and she couldn’t think clearly.
Night came suddenly.
And she woke up early the next morning and got up, but she still felt strange.
“It’s Christmas Day, and I’m in the jungle. The plane crashed, but I’m still alive.”
She thought about her home and her parents. “Dad’s waiting for us at home. I must find the way home.”
She started to walk. She took four or five steps but the world started to spin again.
“What am I going to do? I must find a river. I must not stop,” she thought.
Perhaps there were snakes or poisonous spiders under the leaves. She wasn’t afraid and she didn’t feel any pain, but she was very tired. Sometimes she saw fruit in the bushes and on the trees.
“I was a lucky girl. I am still alive. Now I must find the way home,” she thought.
Then she woke up very late the next morning. The sun was high in the sky, so she got up quickly and started to walk along the bank of the stream. She could smell dead bodies. She was afraid.
“Are all the other passengers dead?” she thought. “A, I alone in the jungle?”
She started to walk along the bank.
Suzanne’s father tried to work. He was alone. His wife and daughter were dead so he only had his work. It was eight days since the crash. Men flew over the jungle for three days but they didn’t find the plane. People can’t live in the jungle after a plane crash.
Suzanne had to lie down, so she looked for a safe place. She saw a boat in the river.
“Some hunters have come here,” she thought. “Perhaps the hunters will come back soon.”
Suddenly she heard men’s voices. “Hello!” a man shouted. “Who’s sitting there? Who are you?”
“Hello,” she said weakly. “I’ve lost my way home. I was in a plane. It crashed on Christmas Eve. I fell from the sky and now I’m trying to find Pucallpa. My father is waiting for me.”
“Come on,” said the hunters. “We must find a doctor.”
They washed her and gave her some food. Then they took her to the boat.
She was very weak and very tired. but she felt happy.
She lay between cool white sheets. Her father came into the room. He cried. And she felt tears in her eyes.
“I know,” he said, “but you’re still alive.”
“My mother really is dead,” she thought and her eyes filled with tears. For the first time sine the crash she started to cry.

A Story about a Plane Crash
By Young Dae Jang
This story is about my host father.
One September 17, 2008, Bob Burdge had a singing group. Group members are Bob, Werner, Esther, Mallory, and Brian. Simetimes, they traveled to other cities. They usually took a car or a bus, but on that day, they took an airplane. That was the third time they took the plane. Werner flew the airplane.
The singing group went to Medicine Hat, Alberta. After they performed in a show, they planned to come home. They got on the plane. The plane stayed up about 8 minutes and suddenly hit the trees and it directly crashed into the South Saskatchewan River because the right hand engine was not working.
After a few minutes, all members in the group were seriously injured by this airplane accident. The pilot, Werner, banged his face against the dash. His nose was broken and his lower lip was bleeding because of his teeth.
Mallory also banged his head against the window of the plane, and he was bleeding from his head.
Bob severely dislocated his left and right foot bones and ankles. He had to stay in the hospital for six days in Calgary, Alberta. Now he still can’t use his legs freely and had to use a wheel chair for two months.
Fortunately, all the members are ok now.

How to Annoy Your Parents
By Mika Nakasako
Have you ever annoyed your parents? Maybe many children have done and thought how to annoy them. It is not good for you, but it is very interesting and exciting for you to do that. It means you are a bad boy or girl if you annoy your parents, but it is as necessary to do as knowing how to be polite. Trying to annoy them is educational to grow up. There are several steps involved in annoying your parents.
First, you need to break rules. It is important to obey rules, but it is easy to break them and annoy your parents. For example, you need to go to school every day and study, but you skip school or a class without permission. Then teachers worry about you, and they call your parents about your absent. Your parents will be upset that you do not go to school or a class. Moreover, you stay out beyond a closing time every time. It is very important to obey because your parents always think about you whether you are safe or not.
The next step is to behave very rudely. Screaming, shouting, acting up and so on look so crazy and strange, but these are good ways to annoy your parents. It makes them angry because they raise you not to be impolite in a society. Maybe they are disappointed in you and feel somewhat ashamed. For instant, you eat ugly when you have a meal with your parents. It makes your parents open their mouths and breathe quickly. They might think where you learn how to eat finely and who teach you how to eat beautifully. They are confused about you and have headaches. Your parents are so sad, but you are excited to do this.
Then, you should steal money from your parent’s wallet and waste money. Using money uselessly is interesting for you, but your parents feel unhappy. Many children do not often steal money, but devious children may do this. Almost all children want to get money and buy snacks or snacks whenever they want to buy it. The reason is money is important to live, and people need to know how to use it properly. Almost all parents hope their children should spend money well, so they would be distressed if you sink money in toilet.
Finally, coming back home at midnight with a noise gets them irritated more. Sometimes you should continue to have a party at your home from another party. Your friends and you continue to drink, eat and sing at midnight. Your parents would feel crazy, and they will suffer from insomnia. Your parents worry about you, and they hope you go to the right way to behave politely.
These are easy to take action. You do not need to lead a loose life, but if you are interested in annoying your parents, you should try to do these. If you follow these suggestions, you will succeed in annoying your parents. You should behave nicely and show that you are not a crazy and strange child when you succeed to do it. Then your parents will be happy about you.

Customs That Canada Needs
By: Irasema Tirado
I am a woman from Mexico and I love my customs. I moved to Canada a long time ago and I think it needs some customs from Mexico because Mexico has so many interesting and fun customs. I think those customs should be in the whole world. These are the three customs that I found most interesting: kiss on the cheek, day of the dead, and carnival.
The kiss on the cheek is one of the most beautiful customs that we can have. We use the kiss on the cheek to say hello and good bye. Most of the time people who do that are especially younger than 35 years old. This custom is in many countries already but so many people in Canada don’t have it and I think could be really interesting if we all try it.
The day of the dead is on November 2nd. It is a celebration for all the people that had died. All the families go to cemeteries and bring to dead familiars flowers, food and the favorite things that they used to like. The people pray for the family members who have died. Most of the people stay at the cemetery all day and all night. They bring their own food and music and stay there having a big party.
Carnival is a festive season which occurs right before Lent. This event comes from Roma. The best celebration is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil but there are in other cities like Mazatlan, Mexico or Veracruz, Mexico. This event is usually during February or the beginning of March. The length of the event is about 7 days. Carnival involves a public celebration or parade with some elements of a circus, mask and public street party. We select a Queen for that day and we call her “the Queen of the Carnival.”
These are personally my favorite customs and I would like everybody to try them. I guess I have to start this with my closest friends. I would like these customs everywhere in Canada. But do Canadians want these customs? We don’t know but if we try maybe in some years it will be normal for Canadians.

The Pressures of Being a Student
By Kazuo Kawaoka
When you enter a university, how do you feel? Happy or excited? There are also some people who feel nervous, uneasy, and so on. They will have the pressure against them after they entered, and it has some influences on them. They can’t ignore what depends on their circumstances of life, some new things, and their future.
Your life condition decides your motivation for your campus life. For example, if your family were rich and let you go to university without any special purposes, you won’t feel pressure. If you were poor, your attitude to studying will be great. Your motivation and pressure are really connected to each other. Sometimes the pressure makes you a good person. In other words, you can study hard, or do your best with it.
In addition, you may feel pressure when you are compared with your brother or sister by your parents. Some parents want you to get high grades, to be intelligent the same as your brother or sister, or to study hard to hand over your father’s great job. Family situations frequently affect how much their children feel nervous, or not.
While you are going to the university, some new things to you to handle by yourself will often come to you. It’s because you have to be independent from your parents gradually. First, you should do a part-time job and earn enough money to buy almost everything you want. As you become more adult, you need more money, so it’s difficult to take care of you for your parents. Moreover, in university, you have to decide what courses or classes you take to make you way sure. You have to spend time carefully not to waste it, so you should feel pressured about it.
You also have the pressure for your future to get the job you want after the graduation. As I said above, the campus life is the most important time to decide your future way. With studying, experiences in social situations, and new challenges, finally you can find a job you want. However, today, it’s terribly difficult to get a job in Japan because many companies don’t want to hire any more freshmen for economic decline. Therefore, it really depends on your effort in university. For example, getting some kinds of license, high score in come examination, and so on. If you didn’t have anything special, it verifies that you wasted time in the campus life. The pressure will help you get a job.
Pressure sometimes makes you nervous, but, on the other hand, it makes you a better person. You can surely try or challenge better with it in your studying field.

Traveling is Fun, Educational, and Fun
By Mika Nakasako
Traveling is lots of fun, and there are some ways to be economical and educational. If you can do the things below, you can enjoy traveling more.
First, it is important to save money when you travel. Traveling needs a lot of money, so to search a cheap hotel at a safe area is necessary to enjoy. Moreover, almost all hotels do not have a breakfast, so it is a good idea to bring some meals.
