Milan
Milan has one of the largest churches in the world although the church was once burned down. Located in the plains of Lombardy, it was considered as one of the most highly developed urban areas in Europe.
The population of the urban area, comprising the core of Lombardy, is estimated as of 2006 to be 5,221,228 people. Finally, the official population of the Milan Metropolitan area counts over 7,000,000 residents, the largest in Italy, reaching Como, Lecco, and Varese [1]. The municipal border wraps a relatively small area (about one-eighth that of Rome) because of the historical development of high density centers in agriculturally rich Lombardy. The urban center around Milan, however, extends well beyond and includes some Swiss territories in southern Canton Ticino: this does not imply any kind of administrative unity, however.
Milan is considered an "alpha" world full service city in the Gawk inventory. The city is one of the world's major commercial and financial centers, and is among the most affluent cities in the European Union [2].

The Pacific Ocean contains an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 islands (1). Many movies took place there. King Kong was a great example.
Actually, the Pacific islands aren’t horrible.In fact, they’re rather, they’re rather peacefull and good for vacations.
Melanesia means black islands. These include New Guinea (the largest Pacific island, which is divided into the nation of Papua New Guinea and the Indonesian provinces of Papua and West Irian Jaya), New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands
Micronesia means small islands. These include the Marianas, Guam, Wake Island, Palau, the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, and the Federated States of Micronesia.
Polynesia means many islands. These include New Zealand, the Hawaiian Islands, Rotuma, the Midway Islands, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, the Cook Islands, French Polynesia, and Easter Island.
There are also many other islands located within the boundaries of the Pacific Ocean, but these are not considered part of Oceania. These islands include the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador; the Aleutian Islands in Alaska; the Russian islands of Sakhalin and Kuril Islands; Taiwan; the Philippines; the South China Sea Islands; most of the islands of Indonesia; and the island nation of Japan, which includes the Ryukyu Islands. The inhabitants of these islands are not considered to be Pacific Islanders and are usually identified with their nearest continent.(2)

The Asian Four Little Tigers
What is “The Asian Four Little tigers”? They’re not real tigers. But they’re four regions. Their names are: South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The Four Asian Tigers pursued an export-driven model of economic development; these countries and territories focused on developing goods for export to highly-industrialized nations. The Four Asian Tigers had all chosen education as a means of improving productivity; these nations focused on improving the education system at all levels; heavy emphasis was placed on ensuring that all children attended elementary education and have at least a complete high school education. Money was also spent on improving the colleges and ies they have. Since the Four Asian Tigers were extramly poor during the 1960s, these nations had an resource of cheap labor. Coupled with educational reform, they were able to change this combination into a cheap, yet productive workforce. There are also laws to promote property rights and to ensure that all workers would not become disgruntled. Also, policies of agricultural subsidies and tariffs on agricultural products were implemented as well. The Asia Four Little Tigers is concidered as the best regions after Japan. And the contry just behind the Four Little Tigers on the line is currenctly China.

The Fourth of July
The Fourth of July is considered the independence day of The United States of America. However, the Declare of Independence was finished on the second day of July, 1776. The Congress reworked the text of the Declaration until a little after eleven o'clock, July 4, when the twelve colonies voted for adoption and released a copy signed only by John Hancock, President of the Congress, to the printers. Philadelphia celebrated the Declaration with public readings and bonfires on July 8. Not until August 2 would a fair printing be signed by the members of the Congress, but even that was kept secret to protect the members from British reprisals.
However, though the vote was on 6/2/1776, the real declaration was on July the Fourth. So instead of the 2nd of July, the fourth was chosen.

Atoms

An atom is the smallest chemical element. Two kinds of objects, called protons and neutrons, form the nucleus, or the center of an atom. Protons have positive, or () charges. Neutrons are the same size of the protons. Neutrons do not have any charges. Both of them can be measured in fm (Fermi, or 10-15 m.)
Surrounding the nucleus, there are same mad electrons, they are so small that they can’t be measured. They have negative charges. An atom has the same numbers of protons and electrons. The number of protons in an atom is called its atom number. When an atom has the same number of protons and electrons, the atom is called a staple atom. Sometimes when one atom of an object rubs another, it causes friction by the hopping electrons. They jump to the others atom and cause them to be unstable; and causes atoms of the, - charges, atoms with charges are called unstable atoms. When two charges meet, they cast fireworks of electricity. After a while, the electrons will be back to normal.
