But one day, the school called Jamie’s mother to go and speak to his teacher, as Jamie hadn’t handed in any homework for a month – ever since his birthday when his parents had given him the games console.

“What’s Jamie done this time?” asked Jamie’s mother.

“Well, it’s been a month since Jamie has done any homework and lately I’ve noticed that he’s very distracted in class. Do you know what could be wrong?”

Then Jamie’s mother realised that he had been telling lies all this time, for instead of going to his room to do homework, he was playing football on his games console.

“Yes, I know what the problem is. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Jamie,” she told the teacher.

“We were just walking around having snowball fights,” he says. “All of a sudden, the whole bowl took off. I ran and jumped out. There was a huge rumble later when the avalanche hit the valley. It was the closest call I ever had.”

Within five seconds of taking off, an avalanche can move at 80 miles an hour (129 kilometers an hour), so people rarely have time to jump or run out of harm’s way like Driskell did as a kid. But these days, avalanches don’t often overtake skiers at resorts because the ski patrol makes sure the slopes are safe.

Driskell, Snow Safety Coordinator for Aspen Mountain Ski Patrol in Aspen, Colorado, says Colorado has the most avalanche accidents in the country, keeping him very busy.

Big storms and warming weather make the month of March especially treacherous for avalanches. “The most activity happens when we get a bunch of snow, because the added weight increases the stress,” he explains.

An avalanche occurs when one entire area or slab of snow slides off of another layer underneath it. The layers form as wind and weather lay down layers of snow. Each layer takes a different form. For example, some will be wetter or icier than others.

When a slab starts to slide, anything on top is carried along, and the avalanche picks up whatever lies in its path as it roars down a slope—including rocks, trees, and people.

The Aspen Mountain Ski Patrol demonstrates this action by stacking up books with salt sprinkled between them. The salt makes each book or layer unstable; adding weight can cause one book in the pile to slide off.

The same thing happens when a person starts to travel across an area of unstable snow—their weight can trigger a slide. Most people who get caught are skiing, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling in the back county, the wilderness beyond the ski area where there is no patrol to manage the avalanches.

As long as skiers stay in the official ski areas, they don’t have to worry. “We control the hazard, so it is unlikely you’ll get caught,” Driskell explains. “We do that by compacting the snow, and we use explosives to make an avalanche move or to test an area to see if it is unstable.” This work can be dangerous, so ski patrol members look out for each other and keep the public at a safe distance.

Driskell and his colleagues also dig holes in the snow to study the layers. Back at headquarters, they enter measurements into a computer; special software creates a graph showing how the different layers are holding up. If an area looks risky, the ski patrol closes it.

People going out into the backcountry often wear a special instrument called an avalanche transceiver that sends out a radio signal. All members of the ski patrol wear one as well, in case they get caught in an avalanche while working.

The signal tells the patrol where to dig if someone ends up under the snow. Driskell and his colleagues rehearse constantly at a practice site to be ready in an emergency.

Once the patrol identifies the area where a person might be, they push a probe, or long pole, down into the snow. When it hits an object, they start digging with the shovels they always carry.

Everyone on the ski patrol has studied first aid, and many are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) or paramedics, so they can start treating life-threatening injuries right there on the mountain.

i watched the sitter movie in this. it is about 2 boys that is very naughty they are called Dennis, and  lance. they always make their sitter in trouble but one special sitter never get in trouble. she is called Jennifer. she is magical. she lives in a island that love to dance and sing. the first sitter is patty.she has a cool car and a long pretty hair. dennis look at the window and say to patty “U have a nice sports car”. said dennis answered patty “thanks”. Lance look at patty’s long hair he said “u have a cool hair”. and dennis said “is it real “? “of course it is ” answered patty. then lance have an idea to cut patty’s long hair. after that when their mum came home looked at patty running to her car and drive away. their mum wants a second sitter called mrs. Abott. when mrs abott arrive. with mrs abott’s dog.  Lance n Dennis’s mom reminds them not to make mrs abott in trouble. the when mrs abott sits on the couch watching the drama TV program when lance sits on the couch mrs abott said “off the couch”. then lance change the TV program to woody woodpecker cartoon. mrs abott said “i want to watch the drama”. lance said “i wanna watch the cartoon” then Dennis sit on the couch he said to mrs abott’s dog “it’s a cute dog”. “Thanks” answered mrs abott . and lance said “mrs abott.? do you want our neighberhood’s dog to play with your dog said lance” “ok” said mrs abott. after the play mrs abott is scared cus it is an angry dog bar king to mrs abott’s dog. lance and dennis laugh at mrs abott. and mr’s abott is tired. lance and dennis give a hot choclate that will make mrs. abott poo fast she’s tummy has so much pain. when their mum came home mrs abott is going to the hospital. she has so much pain. THE END.

I felt very scared. I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket over my head. I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a fancy dress party.

I peeped out of my blanket but it was too dark to see anything. Then I heard footsteps. They were getting louder and louder. It was dark but I knew the way to my drawer where I kept my camera. I ran there and took out my camera and started to take pictures in the direction of the window. Soon the footsteps died off.

I woke up only after eight and decided to investigate. I found some footprints outside my bedroom window. I measured them with a tape and found them to be exactly the same size as my father’s shoes. The footprints ended at the door of my house. I then went to town to get the film developed. But when I saw the photos I was shocked. They were black and I could hardly see anything. Then I remembered that I did not use the flash.

When I reached home I told my father the whole incident and he started to laugh. I started laughing too when he told me that he had dressed up as an alien for the party. Today, I am still amused to think I was so afraid of my own father.                                   maryam copy from a story

Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.^[1] Biology is a vast subject containing many subdivisions, topics, and disciplines. Among the most important topics are five unifying principles that can be said to be the fundamental axioms of modern biology:^[2]

1. Cells are the basic unit of life
2. New species and inherited traits are the product of evolution
3. Genes are the basic unit of heredity
4. An organism regulates its internal environment to maintain a stable and constant condition
5. Living organisms consume and transform energy.

Subdisciplines of biology are recognized on the basis of the scale at which organisms are studied and the methods used to study them:biochemistry examines the rudimentary chemistry of life; molecular biology studies the complex interactions of systems of biological molecules; cellular biology examines the basic building block of all life, the cell; physiology examines the physical and chemical functions of the tissues, organs, and organ systems of an organism; and ecology examines how various organisms interact and associate with their environment.^[3]
