Can you imagine yourself flying to school every
day? Well be ready to be served. On April 1,
5555, Professor Mc Dumb invented a usable flying
car.
As you may have seen in some movies,
many people have thought of flying cars.
Although, no one actually invented it until
Professor Mc Dumb had the guts to make one.
The professor was in fact inspired by the movies.
He did it with the help of his monkey assistant
Mr. Pocadabapoi. The movie is Race in the Air.
It is about flying car races that race all around
earth. This all happened in his lab in Alberta,
Canada. He created the car because he knew
that there is global warming and his flying car is
a great step into saving our planet since it runs
on air molecules such as oxygen. The reason why
he made it is because he knew it would be much
easier to go to places in a flying car for example,
you could fly from Canada to Australia and get
there in about 4 hours, another reason why he
made the car is because then we wouldnt use

Editorial: Animal Rights
Everyone sees animals very differently; some see them as
cute, some as pests or wild beasts. No one has the right idea
since an animal is a bit of both. People think animals can be
dangerous, but all they are really doing is just protecting
them.
Every day, the world hurts billions and billions of
animals, and mostly by keeping them in captivity. Animals
have rights; they have rights to live, to have space, to be free.
The way human kind treats animals has to stop. Zoos are seen
as very fun and educative, but how do you think the animal
must feel? These are the thoughts that everyone should have.
Stopping zoos will help the world be a better place by having
animals where they truly belong.
Many people have asked themselves the following
question; do animals suffer in captivity? The answer to that
question is simple but can be complicated. It all depends on
the reason why the animal was sent to the zoo, or to its
captive habitat. But most of the time, yes, they do suffer in
captivity. Worldwide there are probably more than 1,000 zoos
with hundreds of thousands of animals held captive. The

shipping sailing, ok which then wouldnt pollute
the ocean and sea.
Captive Animals Protection Society [CAPS] is totally opposed to
the incarceration of animals and believes that zoos misinform
rather than educate others. Animals remain threatened or are
driven to extinction, while precious resources are drained away
on expensive breeding projects with no serious hope of
succeeding.
Sometimes, zoos release animals back to their natural
habitats. Everyone thinks it is good for the animal released in
the wilderness, yet what we dont know is that the animals sent
back may not always survive the transition from captivity to
wilderness. For instance, a lion sent back to the wild after
being three years in a zoo may not know how to feed itself
since it was used to being fed. This is an example of why we
should say no to zoos.
Zoos can be a threat to many species. Take polar bears,
a polar bear transferred from Alaska to Florida will have a
shorter life then if it would have stayed in is home land. Zoos
try to make the new comings home to look and feel as close to
their real home as they can, yet most of the time it doesnt
work, and still the poor animals lifespan shortens. Zoos
shouldnt risk poor animals lives just to make money or for
others to enjoy.
Every day, families, schools enjoy going to the zoo. To
them it is entertaining, yet have you ever wondered how an
animal may feel, being watched stuck in a cage? How hard and
lonely must it feel, no free space, your life being controlled by
a zoo keeper, not very fun is it? But wait, not all hopes are lost.
The world can still make a change by making more natural
environments, such as natural preserves. This idea may not be
perfect, but it may improve bit by bit.

You can replace the pictures in this template with
your companys art. To do so, click where you
want to insert the picture. On the Insert menu,
point to Picture, and then click From File. Locate
the picture you want to insert, and then click it.
Next, click the arrow to the right of the Insert
button, and then click either Insert to place a copy
of the picture into the newsletter, Link to File to
display the picture without actually inserting a
copy, or Insert and Link. Since Insert embeds a
copy, the picture is always visible, but it may
greatly increase the size (in bytes) of your
newsletter depending on how large the picture is.
Inserting Your Own Art
If you take the time to create a newsletter, you
certainly want your readers to read as much of it
as possible. You can help achieve this by drawing
readers to other articles.
One way to do this is with the table of contents. A
table of contents that has descriptive and enticing
headlines will go a long way toward getting the
reader beyond the articles on the front page.
You can also draw readers into your newsletter by
placing an interesting article with broad appeal on

An Article for Everyone
Who reads your newsletters, and what are their
responsibilities? What segments of your industry are
they concerned about? And do you have evidence to
back up your assumptions? Being able to answer
these questions is critical, because only then will you
be able to provide the kind of content that readers
will be drawn to.
Not everyone within a business or industry is
concerned with the same issues. By understanding
readers and their concerns, you can ensure that every
issue of your newsletter has something to interest as
many types of people as possible. A newsletter about
technology in education may have articles relevant to
administrators and what they need to know
logistically to get technology into their schools, to
teachers and how they can integrate technology into
their classrooms, to parents and how they can
Fitting an Article into a Tight Space
So you have space for one more article in your
newsletter, and one of your experts out in the field
is writing the article. How can you determine how
long the article should be?
As in newspapers, the length of a newsletter article
can be thought of in terms of how many column
inches are available for the article. A column inch
is a measure of space, namely an area on a page 1
column wide and 1 inch deep, used to measure the
amount of type that would fill that space. This will
vary from newsletter to newsletter depending on
the font you are using, its size, the column width,
and the amount of space between lines and
between paragraphs. By knowing how many words
on average fit into a column inch in your
introduce technology at home, and to the students
themselves and how they can use technology to aid
their learning.
The danger, of course, is that if you try to appeal to
every type of audience you may make the focus of
your newsletter too broad. In our example, we
would not want the newsletter to include articles
about how to develop software for the education
market. When you write articles for an audience
newsletter, and then by measuring how many
column inches are available for the article, you can
tell the writer how many words an article can have.
Lets take this scenario one step at a time.
1. Fill up at least 10 inches of column with actual
article text, then print the page and use a ruler
to measure how many inches of column your
text takes up.
2. Count the number of words in the text.
3. Divide the number of words in the article by the
number of inches the text takes up. For
example, lets say you have 456 words in 12
inches of column: 456 12 = 38. Thats your
magic number for how many words fit in an

inch of column in your newsletter. But youre
not finished yet.
4. Measure how many column inches you have
available for the article. For example, well
say its 7 inches.
5. Multiply your magic number by the number of
column inches available for the article, which

quote from the story here.
in this case would be: 38 x 7 = 266. This is the
maximum length that the article can be.
6. To give yourself some room for error, tell the writer
to write an article between 250 and 260 words.
Once you get the article back and edit it, you can
add or remove words here and there to get the
article to the right length.
Over time, youll get used to this practice, and it wont
be long before you become a pro at writing and editing
articles that are not only helpful to your readers, but
perfect in length as well.
other than the newsletters core readership, or articles
that are too broad in their intent, readers are not able
to quickly determine whether the newsletter is of use to
them, and they lose interest.
So the issue is of balance: Within the scope of your
business and industry, you want to provide something
in each newsletter that will be of interest to all the
major players in your audience. By doing so, you will
ensure that all your readers will continue to return to
your newsletter, issue after issue, to find that relevant
article that they know is waiting for them.

offers a flexible way of displaying text and
graphics; its basically a container. You can move a
text box around, positioning it just where you want
it; you can resize it into a tall narrow column or
into a short wide column, or even rotate it so that
the text reads sideways. By linking a text box on
one page with a text box on another, you make
your article flow from one page to another. For
