An ice disc, ice circle, or ice pan is a natural phenomenon that occurs in slow moving water in cold climates.

Ice circles are thin and circular slabs of ice that rotate slowly in the water. It is believed that they form inefdy currrents. Ice discs have most frequently been observed in scandinavia and North america , but they are occasionally recorded as far south as England  and Waled  An ice disc was observed in Wales in December 2008 and another was reported in England in January 2009. An ice disc was observed on the Sheyenne River in North Dakota in December 2013. An ice circle of approximately 50 ft. in diameter was observed and photographed in Lake Katrine, New York on the Escopus creaker around  January 23, 2014. In Idaho, extreme weather led to a rare sighting of an Ice disk on the Snake River on January 22, 2014.

An unusual natural phenomenon, ice disks occur in slow moving water in cold climates and can vary in size, with circles more than 15 metres (49 ft) in diameter observed.

gary jules - mad world

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places

Worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere

Going nowhere

And their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression

No expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow

No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

'Cause I find it hard to take

When people run in circles it's a very very

Mad world

Mad world

Mad world

Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Made to feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen

Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me

No one knew me

Hello, teacher, tell me what's my lesson?

Look right through me

Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

'Cause I find it hard to take

When people run in circles it's a very very

Mad world

Mad world

Mad world

Mad world

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

'Cause I find it hard to take

When people run in circles it's a very very

Mad world

Mad world

Enlarging your world

song meaning 

The first part (lines 1-8) are about a funeral. He is sitting at the funeral, and he sees the familiar faces of friends and relatives. The reference to filling glasses with tears is not talking about drinking glasses, but rather they are crieing and getting tears all over their eye glasses. The blank expressions show that it is a solemn event, and the guy is clearly sad by wanting to hide his sorrows. He wants to be string and hide it, but he feels very strong emotions.

The chorus, about his dreams, reveals the confusion going on in his head. He doesn't know how to feel in his time of despair.

When the song talks about children waiting for the day they're happy, I think he is talking about himself. Either he is a child, or he is comparing himself to a child waiting for his birthday. The "sit and listen" part is , in the child metaphor, about how kids are made to behave. From older person perspective, he feels like he's being told how to feel by the people around him, but really he wants to feel his own way.

I think that the lines about going to school once again bring up the child metaphor. Children literally do go to school and talk to teachers, but I think it really means that "going to school" is returning to life after the loss of a loved one. He feels awkward, and unsure of himself, and people always would offer their condolences and pity him, which actually makes him feel alienated. He doesn't want any special treatment.

"Hell teacher, tell me whats my lesson" means that he could be praying to God, or just looking for guidance in his life after he was torn apart by his sorrows. He wants God, or whoever can help him to "look right through him" and understand how he feels, because, as I said before, he feels alienated.

The sing finishes with another chorus. I find it a bit hard o interpret, but, as I said before, it reveals his confusion and mixed emotions. When the lyrics talking about running in circles, I think it could be referring to the "circle of life", but I'm really not sure.

I think that this entire song is him realizing that there's no point in existing. He's not necessarily suicidal, but he sees existence as trivial. His dreams about dying are not necessarily about death, but about ceasing to exist altogether, something he wishes was possible. The part about the children is saying that children are oblivious to the concept of existence, that they see only what they know, and that he wishes he could share their ignorance. The birthday symbolizes the child's mentality of an event so significant that it is worth looking forward to consistently, believing that the next one will be better than the last, when in reality the effects of the event dull until it is simply another day. During the time when a child feels so excited about an event that an adult finds almost insignificant, they display true ignorance and obliviousness. The singer yearns to be a child and have such mentalities, but as he cannot, he sees no reason to exist.

most expensive food!

most expensive food!

we know that we have to eat some food so we can still alive and some people spend a lot of money for a good taste food. 

two thousand dollar a pound seems like a lot  to pay for a mushroom. its really does.  Truffles are rare. The white ones are only available a couple of months of the year, almost exclusively from one part of Italy, where they must be foraged by special pigs, and there are fewer of them, and of lesser quality, every year. They are, in short, the perfect luxury commodity, precious and getting more so all the time. Whether they are worth the money has a lot to do with how you like to spend and why you go to dinner. Which makes them very interesting. 

Truffles are expensive items, but none as dear as the Italian white alba version. These items have become difficult to cultivate, thus explaining the exorbitant price. A huge white alba truffle that came in at around 1.51 kilograms was once sold for over $160,000. A retail investor from Hong Kong and his wife brought home the truffle.

 amazing right? i never tasted this trufflw before but i hope someday i will go to italy and taste it! but if my mom let me spend the money for that! its will be amazing haha.  so thats it abouf expensive food around the world! 

My holidayyy!

im pretty sad right know because holiday is officialy over! but i will tell you about my holiday.

im starting my holiday by going to bali!!! it was very fun and i really enjoying relaxibg with my family. i stayed in bali for only 4 days because i have to do "pendidikan dasar" for jamadagni one of extracurricular in my school. my first day in bali was very nice i went to our hotel in kuta i was stayed  in dinasty resort at kuta ,my hotel was really close from beachwalk mall at kuta. i went to bali with my mom and my brother i really sad because my dad cant join us because he had to went to timor leste to do some work. in bali i went to so many good places that i can recomanded you if you want eat something with a good view you can go  to potatoe head beach club. la plancha, drizzbell, rimba jimbaran, and so many more. and if you want to go shopping you can go to beachwalk mall , discovery mall,or pasar sukawati?. bali is a bmvery beautiful place i really proud bali is in indonesia! 

 

after spent 4 days in bali i have to gobback to bandung but my mom and my brother stayed in bali because my granny is going to meet them in bali so i flight to bandung by my self in bandung my driver pick me up on the airport and then i went to my school to talk about pendidikan dasar with my friends. the next day i just sleept at home because i need to take a rest before "pendidikan dasar". the day has come! i really nervous about that day because i hear so many scary story about pendidikan dasar. after me and my friends doing opening pendidikan dasar ceremony we go to lembang by truck but we take 5 hours because its was a holiday i guess everyone going to lembang for vacation. 

after we arrive me and all my friends walking to panaruban mountain its rainning and cold i cant even feelling my own arms but i really exciting  that day so i forget about everything and just walk. we have to singing jamadagni song and its make me very hard to breath because the weather was very extreme. we take a rest to drink just for 5 minutes and then we have to walk before its dark. after walking i guess about 10km? finally we got our destination. 

we cook and dinner but we just only have 1 hour to do that so i have to do everything quickly. jamadagni 39 is 24 members and there are 6 group thats mean each group have 4 members. my group is me sulthan rashif,fabian ardiansyah , and auzan. yap! i was the only one girl in my group but thats makes my group stronger i guess. after cook and eat we change our clothes and the we sleep together at "bifak ponco" that our senior make for us. my first night was not really terrible but its so hard for me to sleep because its so cold my body is shaking. 

day 2 we woke up at 04:30 and then we do some exercise after that we eat and cook again like ussual we have only 1 hour to do that and our dansis or "komandan siswa" give us the ingredients and then we cook and eat it we have to take some water from the  river too and then cook the water so we cant drink it later. but me and my friends is almost always late about cook and eat so after that our senior give us the punishment to push up its really hard to push up because in here we use our fingers to push up not just pur hands like usual push up. after breakfast we have some lesson from our senior in here we learn about everything. in 7 days we learn about how to make a trap, navigation,ppgd,knot, and we learn abouf evacuation and so mang more. 

 

so our routine everyday is wake up, exercise, tool check, breakfast ,material, lunch, material, until dinner , evaluation , and then sleep. everyday at evaluation our seniors give us a punishment if we didnt change to be better each day. and then dansis was changed everyday too.  

the next day we do something different , we have to make our "bifak ponco" 1 each. bifak ponco is a tent from rain coat its not really hard to make this but its take time. and we only have 1 hour to make bifak ponco and make a fire too.after 1 hours  some group are finish but the other not finished yet. so we have to do some push up as a punishment and then we have to help other group to finish it. 

day 4 its harder for us because we have to make "bifak alam" bifak alam is a tent from nature itself so we have to make it from leaf,tendril,rod  its more complicated  and hard beacause we have to search the leaf and everything first. and we only have 1 hours each group have to make 1 bifak alam and if in 1 hours doesng finish yet you know... push up again!  after make some bifak we do our routine dinner and then sleep in our bifak "bifak alam" is warner than bifak ponco because the leaf make it warm.  

day 5! after lunch we have an important lesson called survival. survival is learning about what we have to do if something bad happen but we have to survive in nature. so we learn how to eat in emergancy situation like if we doesng have anything to eat. so we have to search anything in nature we pick the ingredients and then  we boiled it. we have to boiled the ingredient at least twice because some food are poisonus. the food taste was so bad.its so hard to eat it but we have to because we dint have anything to eat anymore. after that we have to make bifak alam again but today we have to make it 1 for one person its so hard for everyone! but we made it! i really proyd because i can make bifak alam by my self. after that we had a dinner with a survival food again.. i cant lie its taste so bad but its gave me energy. 

 after dinner we do evaluation like usual but something wrong with my chest i cant breath that night its so hard to breath my vission becacome bad,i can even walk. i talk to my senior while everybody packing their bag for evaluation my senior take me and call the medical to come and then my body start shaking so hard i can feel my arm anymore i cant see anything, i cant hear anything too i was so scared so i started crying my chest was so hurt the medical ask me to lay down and then the check my eyes and my awareness i wear abwet clothes that day because rain was coming everyday  so wearing a wet clothes is someting that i used to it but the extreme weather makes me very cold the medical take me to their tent change my clothes and then give me a medicine they tell me that i had a hypotermia i sit near the bonfire and then i sleep at medical tent. in the middle of the night they woke me up and check me gain but i not hypotermia anymore so i moved to my bifak alam and then sleep.
