Funeral at the space

Funeral at the space                                                                                                                     2013.10.5

 I saw a news that talk about "Funeral at the space". What is funeral at the space? "Funeral at the space" is that human died and put a part of ashes in the capsule and launch it to the space. This system is thought by Thomas. He was engineer at the NASA. He establishes a company this year in San Francisco and he starts "Funeral at the space" project. It only in the United States, but it will begin soon in Japan. The cost is two hundred thousand yen (about $2031). Then what will happen to it after having launched ashes? The capsule goes around the earth with one lap of speed on a man-made satellite on a circular orbit of the earth for 90 minutes for several months. The family and the friend can confirm the position of the satellite by free application for smartphone and tablets.

 Expert said that this project is eco-friendly, because it burns exhaustively without taking out space debris entirely. But some people said that this project is not eco-friendly.

 Funeral at the space. This project is start in April 21th 1997. Pegasus rocket carried the ashes for 24 human's including Gene Roddenbery's to the space (Gene Roddenbery is a famous movie director). This project is not just carry to the space, it can carry to the moon or outside space. In 2006, Ashes of Clyde Tombaugh's ashes were put on the Pluto space probe and enjoyed a trip long time at Pluto. Clyde Tombaugh were discovery Pluto in 1930. It is the first case that human's ashes go to the out space.
　"Funeral at the space" project is very high cost so a few people and celebrity can use this project. By the way, about 150 human's ashes went to the space. But I think this project is nice and many people will use this project. This time, live human also died human can go to the space. I think it's very nice. I hope many people can use this project in the future. 

　

  

About ski

About ski

 I like ski very much and I have silver grade at ski technique.

 Ski has three techniques mainly.

 First one is snowplough turn. This technique is for beginner. To do this technique, you should merge the tip of the ski board and make while posterior.

 Second one is stem turn. When you turn, you should merge the tip of the ski board and push open the posterior.

 Third one is parallel turn. When you turn , you should put up an edge in the other side.

 Ski is winter sport. Many people go to skiing area and enjoy ski.
When I ski, I always go to Sigacougen in Nagano. Of course I Parallel turn, so I try to do difficult technique now.

  I started ski when I was 4 grade. I was very scared. I fell down a lot. But it became gradually fun. When I was 6 grade, I have silver  grade of ski technique. I am very happy. My ski teacher praised me. Now,
I want to have gold grade for ski technique.

 Ski was discovered in 1825 by Sondore-Noruhaimu. In 1924, ski was
Chosen as the competition of the Olympics.

  Ski was reached Japan in 1890 and became poplar from 1911. January 12th is the day of the ski now.

 I started ski because my elementary school has ski school and I participated it. I was beginner, so coach was able to tell me carefully.
I very thank to he.

 I have advice to a person beginning ski from now. First, you have to try it. Don't be scare. You can do. At the start you will fall down many times. But, do not give it up. You can do it.

 Ski is a very interesting sport. Of course ski has difficult parts. But I never give up. Try and try. And I have silver grade now. Now, my goal will get to gold grade. I do my best.

During the mid -1800's many Irish immigration arrived in America, fleeing from starvation, bringing with them their own dance rhythms and steps. The next 60 years or so would see a fusion of cultures the development of blues and jazz music alongside percussive dance.
One of the earliest known "rhythm" dancers was WILLIAM HENRY LANE, also known as "JUBA".
By the 1840s his unique rhythmcal style of dance was hugely popular, and he was one of the very few black performers. His style of dance was an intricate fusion of African steps, jigs, shuffles and slides, finger snapping and clapping.

In tap dance you have to put on tap shoes.
Tap shoes are important for tap dance,because without tap shoes we can`t do dance well. Tap shoes have a metal plate called taps (bowl) on the toes of the sole, and heel (heel) stomps the floor.
