This is a blog for my English IIIB students at Hirosaki University in the Fall of 2005. I started it in the Spring of 2005 for another class, and now I use it for whichever class I have. Right now it's English IIIB again. I hope you enjoy it.

This is NASA's official website.I have been interested in the universe since I was a little. That is why this is my favorite site. We can see what NASA is doing now or the latest information. In addition, fine pictures and images make us understand clearly.This is the information released yesterday.
Like a cosmic light bulb on a dimmer switch, Saturn emitted gradually less energy each year from 2005 to 2009, according to observations by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. But unlike an ordinary bulb, Saturn's southern hemisphere consistently emitted more energy than its northern one. On top of that, energy levels changed with the seasons and differed from the last time a spacecraft visited in the early 1980s. These never-before-seen trends came from an analysis of comprehensive data from the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), an instrument built by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., as well as a comparison with earlier data from NASA's Voyager spacecraft. When combined with information about the energy coming to Saturn from the sun, the results could help scientists understand the nature of Saturn's internal heat source.

By understanding what is happening on Saturn, we may be able to make it clear deeply how the structure of other planets is ! If you want to know details, please access!

Last week, a Qantas Airbus A380 had to make an emergency landing in Singapore, after one of its Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines exploded. Rolls-Royce has admitted there's aproblem. Well, this is how the problem looks when it actually happens.
As a result of this incident, Qantas has grounded its A380 fleet for two weeks, Singapore Airlines pulled all the Trent 900s from three A380s, and Lufthansa has changed one engine from one of its mastodon planes.
But there's more than the problem that made the engine to blow up mid-flight. According to Jon Ostrower at Flight Global, "the failure in the number two engine was uncontained, as parts penetrated the wing."

Let me tell you all about my favourite website:
As the title suggests, it's a site about manga : you can find a large amount of it ; it is really various an very well organised ! I'm speaking to the poor students who can't always afford to buy the so-long waited last volume of their collection : this site is for you !!!
But you can also try the forum, and make friends by discussing your favourite topic with people who share the same interest as you ^^ !
I've met my best friend thanks to this site seriously !
Her and I were crazy about Naruto, and we start talking to each other via this site for monthes, before discovering that we were in the same high school ! It's been five years now!
Indeed, it's a very useful site where you can discover new manga without the burden to buy it ^^ ! Morever, you can also talk about the anime like the quotation that follows (sorry it might seems a little bit "geeek" for you ;) )
thank you, enjoy

"If you could be any anime chracter who would you be and why? We know that manga is superior, but that doesn't stop us from talking about anime too.
