clocked 10 recently. Many happy returns.I find it difficult to forgive some wicked people at times. I don’t play too much and people know me for that. I don’t like playing with stubborn people because if they wound me, I may not want to play with them again and this may mean lead to unforgiveness. One of my friends wounded me on my head and since then, I have not played with him. — Dapo Olaniyi,11-yr-old, Pry 5

AS for me, I forgive instantly and my friends know me for that. I don’t like keeping malice. I forgive because I know I also offend others.

FAMOUS INVENTIONS

Brief history of microwave oven

Domestic microwave ovenTHE microwave oven was invented as an acciden tal by-product of war-time (World War 2) radar research using magnetrons (vacuum tubes that produce microwave radiation, a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength between 1 mm and 30 cm).

In 1946, the engineer Dr. Percy LeBaron Spencer, who worked for the Raytheon Corporation, was working on magnetrons. One day at work, he had a candy bar in his pocket, and found that it had melted. He realized that the microwaves he was working with had caused it to melt. After experimenting, he realized that microwaves would cook foods quickly - even faster than conventional ovens that cook with heat.

The Raytheon Corporation produced the first commercial microwave oven in 1954; it was called the 1161 Radarange. It was large, expensive, and had a power of 1600 watts. The first domestic microwave oven was produced in 1967 by Amana (a division of Raytheon).

This marked the beginning of the use of microwave ovens in home kitchens. Although sales were slow during the first few years, partially due to the oven’s relatively expensive price tag, the concept of quick microwave cooking had arrived. In succeeding years, Litton and a number of other companies joined the countertop microwave oven market. By the end of 1971, the price of countertop units began to decrease and their capabilities were expanded.

POEM

Sweet mother

OH! Sweet mother,
I came just as a stranger
But you told me all the dangers.
Even, when I cry of hunger,
You never let that increase your anger.
Even,when I had fever,
Your clothes you use as cover.
Oh! Mother,
You don’t need to border
Although I don’t have a father
But am sure I’ll go further
To cross the big river
So as to give back your liver.
All these are not for my brother
But for you my sweet mother.
