This is a cake from my town, Apam. People usually call it Apam Barabai. Usually this cake is often bought by those who passed through my town. There are two kinds of cake, white apam and red apam . But I prefer red Apam. It tastes sweeter, which distinguishes this Apams from other areas are small and thin in shape. The taste is more typical. It is usually wrapped in banana leaves that smell more fragrant. The price of each pack is between 8,000 to 10,000 rupiahs, less than 1 dollar. May be a lit

PUBLIC SPEECH

Public speaking is an art; and like any other art, it has to be learnt, both in practice and theory.  For those to say that they will never deliver a speech until they have learnt to speak, is like saying that they will never go into the water until they have learnt to swim.  One cannot learn to speak or deliver a speech when he comes to age of maturity.  Firstly if it delivered in schooling, it is well and good.  Secondly if one has to deliver a speech in public during his employme

But since the state fire attack (likely film avatar), Palangkaraya city that affected smog due to fires forest and land.

Hello! When I read this writing challenge, automatically the word “philotimo” came in my mind. I didn’t invent it. It is a real Greek word and it is not translated in English. So I translate it exactly as I see it. Philohonor.

Philohonor | noun | / fəˈläˈänər /

For the first time ever, the 'Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year' is not a word... but an emoji! How weird is that??    And the award goes for one particular emoji: the 'Face with Tears of Joy'!  As you can see, it's very happy for this:
