Paper Chinese lanterns are an exotic way to spruce up your party decorations, and they are something anyone can make.
Any kind of paper is okay to use, but it should be able to hold up to creasing and cutting (so no tissue paper). Construction paper is easy to get and works great.
Take a sheet of the paper you chose and fold it in half lengthwise to make a long rectangle. Rub your fingernail along the crease to strengthen the crease.
Now take scissors and make several small cuts along the edge on the side with the fold. You’re basically making a fringe on the side of the paper that you made the thick crease on. Leave about an inch and a half to an inch at the top uncut!
Unfold the paper and wrap the sheet into a cylinder shape so that the fringe you just made is now the center of the lantern. Glue or tape the edges down.
You may now take another strip of paper around 5-6 inches long and glue it to the top of the lantern to form a handle. Make several lanterns and feed a string through these handles for an easy way to decorate for any party!

I am sure kids in this generation are very familiar with video games. Research shows that it is gaining popularity and the percentage of adults and children who are playing video games are increasing in numbers. In fact Video games nowadays develop rapidly and produce in bulks because it is in demand in market. In 2005 video game market reached nearly $10.5 billion in sales.
Video games were purposely mad for children to have fun but it shows that adults were more addicted in video games than kids. We all know that video games is a raster display device designed for fun and recreation and actually started from an amusement in a cathode ray tube in 1947. Video games were then developed in 1971 for fun and amusement. At this time kids playing video games were increasing while kids who were playing baseball and other outdoor games are decreasing in numbers. Because of the fact that kids were sometimes overly exposed to UV rays from the displays plugged to their computers kids develop bad vision causing them to wearLarge Reading Glasses at an early age.
The fact that video games has influenced people to become home buddies which made them introvert, becoming shy or na?ve and socialy isolating themselves due to the dependency they have developed to these computers. Aside from that games, it can cause kids or adults to develop aggressive behaviors. Although it were designed for amusement and fun,games nowadays are becoming more real sometimes portraying real life situation with mature content such as sex and violence.
Not all Video games were designed for fun and amusement but also they were used by the military as an instrument of developing skills and experience in combat training and simulation. Militaries were immersed to 3d environment almost equal to the real world and real situations. Most of the virtual reality environment are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through specialized stereoscopic display similar to a Sunglasses or an oversized Reading Glasses but some includes additional sensory information like sound and other tactile information such as force feedback allowing the user to have a feel of the unreal environment with the use of application to immerse the user in the 3d world.
Although video games may have negatively affected children in their social behavior on the other hand it has some positive effects like kids exposed to computer technology develop skills in following instructions, spatial and motor skills, problem solving and logic while having fun. As parents you should carefully monitor what video games your children are playing the same way you monitor them what program they watch on a television.

How does it feel to drive a Yellow Hummer H2 while donning a pair of cool Sunglasses and a Hawaiian shirt, looks cool though but I think It would be really expensive over $50,000 for the vehicle alone just to have that soldier of fortune look. Driving a HUM-V is one of my greatest dreams and do Off- Roading or driving a specialized vehicle on unpaved roads, such as sand, gravel, riverbeds, mud, snow, rocks, and other natural terrain would be a great adventure.
Essentially a hummer is a great vehicle for traveling anywhere in the world like having a safari adventure in the tropical country of Africa, stereotyping Indiana Jones encountering tribes and hunting treasures and wiping off dust and dirt on Reading Glasses.
In tropical countries like africa 4×4 are the most common transportaion. Unpaved roads can attain ‘off-road’ aspects during the rainy season, when extra gears and four-wheel drive can become desirable or even necessary. Although In Western countries the term is frequently used usually more specifically for recreational pursuits.
Though this type of vehicles are too big for the street comsumers may have bought it for it’s looks HELL YEAH, but if you are pencil thin and you own a HUMMER it is not macho at all if you look like an antenna beside it. Just like wearing an eyeglasses without lens on it, even if it’s just Designer Frames but if you feel you look smart on it yet you can’t even answer a simple mathematical question that’s so stupid.
Just a reminder though before buying vehicles we have to be aware of the standards in the country we are in and we should be very particular with the terrain and conditions. For example we cannot use a left hand drive vehicle in Europe because their standard for driving vehicles are all right handed. This is not really a big deal though but we should be carefully aware of that. The terrain is also one of the things we should look up on we don’t want to drive low-rise cars on rough terrain do we? Or It will be damaged all over. Tires have certain standards for specific terrains unlike all terrain vehicles it is designed for almost everywhere dune, rocks and mud. So as we can see a Hummer is the perfect vehicle for anyone who are willing to travel around the world but one of it’s downsize is the size itself it’s just too over sized, occupying almost one lane of the highway unfit for countries with small roads like Asia unless we have a bike in the back of the trunk for backup.
