· Check the tags for special washing instructions. Most clothes are machine washable, but always check the tag for further instructions. · Separate your laundry by "color". Dyes in clothes, especially pieces that are new, lose their color during a wash. The color can bleed onto other clothes and damage your entire load. · Sort your clothes by fabric weight. Additionally, you can protect your clothes from wear and tear in the washing machine by sorting heavier fabrics from lighter weight fabrics. · Put delicates into mesh wash bags to protect them from harsh wear and tear. · Separate out stained clothing. Some stains need special treatment before you can put the garment into the wash. · Choose the right washing cycle. Wash cycles consist of two important speeds: a speed at which it agitates or tumbles the clothes with water, and a speed that spins the water out of the clothes. · Set the water temperature.

The Museum of Art in Philadelphia is one of the country's largest museums. Its collection of some 300,000 works of art covers diverse artistic areas. The works on display include photographs, paintings, tapestry, carpets, sculpture, armory, ceramics and furniture. Some of the two hundred galleries even include complete historic sites such as a Buddhist temple. Its paintings collection includes works from renowned artists like Picasso, Van Gogh, Rubens and Renoir. The Museum is located on a hill at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, providing a perfect vista for this wide boulevard. The origins of the museum go back to the Centennial Exposition of 1876. It was held at Fairmount Park, where a permanent exposition hall was built for the exposition's art gallery. The building, known as Memorial Hall was designed by Hermann Schwarzmann. It was built between 1874 and 1876 in the popular Beaux-Arts style. The glass-domed building is still one of the most beautiful in Philadelphia. The museum's collection expanded rapidly and by the end of the nineteenth century Memorial Hall had become too small. In 1907 the decision was made to build a new museum on a hill known as Faire Mount, at the end of the recently completed Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The building, designed by Horace Trumbauer, Julian Abele, Clark Zantzinger and Charles Borie, was inspired by Greek temples. An imposing flight of stairs leads to an open court bordered by three connected neoclassical temples. |

We rode slowly and stopped for several minutes to enjoy the landscape. Finally, we arrived at Pacitan. We continued to go to the south just to find any beach.
We wanted to find a beach with no tourist there and we found it. It was a beautiful beach with nobody else except us. We built our tents and prepared some wood for making small fire because we need it to cook our food. I loved this beach because I got not only a beautiful place but also a great beach for fishing. I did fishing and got a lot of fish. We roasted those fish at the fire we have made.

The Cock and the Fox
One bright evening as the sun was sinking on a glorious world, a wise old Cock flew into a tree to roost. Before he composed himself to rest, he flapped his wings three times and crowed loudly. But just as he was about to put his head under his wing, his beady eyes caught a flash of red and glimpse of a long and pointed nose, and there just below him stood Master Fox.
“Have you heard the wonderful news?” cried the Fox in a very joyful and excited manner.
“What news?” asked the Cock very calmly. But he had a queer, fluttery feeling inside him, for you know he was very much afraid of the Fox.

“How grand!” said the Cock. “I certainly am delighted at the news.” But he spoke in an absence way, and stretching up on tiptoes, seemed to be looking at something afar off.

There are a range of different types of clouds; the main types include stratus, cumulus and cirrus. Stratus clouds are flat and featureless, appearing as layered sheets. Cumulus clouds are puffy like cotton floating in the sky. Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy appearing high in the sky.
