My Friend
Once in a while a true friend comes along
To pick you up when you down help you to be strong
By your side in a storm to help you through
I'm so blessed that I found a true friend in you.
Not a lot of people like you. There's so much that you do. You come to the rescue of so many including me too. I'm lucky to call you my friend. Give so unselfishly. You live so courageously. Your light shines on so many. I'm lucky to call you my friend. Give so unselfishly. You live so courageously. Your light shines on so many. I'm lucky to call you my friend.
Know that you are a part of his plan.
You help me find strength.
You help me to stand.
You bring joy to so many lives.
I'm truly convinced you're an angel in disguise.
Not a lot of people like you.
There's so much that you do.
You come to the rescue of so many including me too.
I'm lucky to call you my friend.
Give so unselfishly
You live so courageously
Your light shines on so many.
I'm lucky to call you my friend.
Give so unselfishly
You live so courageously
Your light shines on so many.
I'm lucky to call you my friend.
When I see all the smiles you make every day,
I thank God our journey is going the same.
And know if you stumble
And your smile turns upside down,
I'll hold up your light until you're back on your way.
Give so unselfishly
You live so courageously
Your light shines on so many.
I'm lucky to call you my friend.
Give so unselfishly
You live so courageously
Your light shines on so many.
I'm lucky to call you my friend.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons. It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada. From 1942 to 1946, the project was under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the actual bombs. The Army component of the project was designated the Manhattan District; Manhattan gradually superseded the official codename, Development of Substitute Materials, for the entire project. Along the way, the project absorbed its earlier British counterpart, Tube Alloys. The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939, but grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion (about $23 billion in 2018 dollars). Over 90% of the cost was for building factories and to produce fissile material, with less than 10% for development and production of the weapons. Research and production took place at more than 30 sites across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
Two types of atomic bombs were developed concurrently during the war: a relatively simple gun-type fission weapon and a more complex implosion-type nuclear weapon. The Thin Man gun-type design proved impractical to use with plutonium, and therefore a simpler gun-type called Little Boy was developed that used uranium-235, an isotope that makes up only 0.7 percent of natural uranium. Chemically identical to the most common isotope, uranium-238, and with almost the same mass, it proved difficult to separate the two. Three methods were employed for uranium enrichment: electromagnetic, gaseous and thermal. Most of this work was performed at the Clinton Engineer Works at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
In parallel with the work on uranium was an effort to produce plutonium. After the feasibility of the world's first artificial nuclear reactor was demonstrated in Chicago at the Metallurgical Laboratory, it designed the X-10 Graphite Reactor at Oak Ridge and the production reactors in Hanford, Washington, in which uranium was irradiated and transmuted into plutonium. The plutonium was then chemically separated from the uranium, using the bismuth phosphate process. The Fat Man plutonium implosion-type weapon was developed in a concerted design and development effort by the Los Alamos Laboratory.
The project was also charged with gathering intelligence on the German nuclear w ...
