Fifty years ago, on May 25, 1961, US President John F. Kennedy (31) a grand challenge that changed the world (32) humankind knew it— (33) a man to the Moon and bring him home again, and to do it by the end of the decade. It is one of the most (34) images of all time an Earthling (35) foot upon the Moon for the first time. The moment was immortalized by astronaut Neil Armstrong. "One small step for a man, one giant (36) for mankind," said Armstrong. The challenge to put a man on the Moon had been issued on May 25, 1961, by newly elected President John F. Kennedy in a bold speech before Congress. "First, I believe that this nation (37) commit itself to (38) the goal, before this decade is out, (39) landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the earth. No (40) space project in this period will be more (41) to mankind, or more important in the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish..." said President Kennedy.

On August 2, 1492, a three-ship fleet commanded by Christopher Columbus of Genoa, Italy, for the King and Queen of Spain began a voyage west seeking a route to Japan and the Indies. The flagship was this chartered carrack, the Santa Maria, a bulky craft of cranky sailing behavior. However, on Christmas Eve, 1492, Columbus’ flagship ran aground on a coral reef off the coast of Haiti and the crew had to abandon ship. Ever since then, many attempts have been made to find and recover the ship. Between 1967 and 1972, Fred Dickson made four explorations of the coral reef in Cap Haitien Bay where Edwin Link had found an anchor that he believed might belong to the flagship. During the first excavation of the coral mound, Dickson and his crew found a layer of ballast stone about two feet below the surface. At the twelve-foot level, they found numerous pieces of wood, copper and brass bolts, iron rods and a few silver nails, presumably from a piece of armor. Probably the most significant find was some pottery that had been buried between 1375 and 1575. In later excavation, Dickson’s crew continued hacking away at the coral and mud, digging a trench four or five feet wide and eighteen inches deep. But they found nothing that would either prove or disprove the possibility that the Santa Maria was buried there. In 1972, using sophisticated electronic equipment, Dickson discovered an object about seventy-five feet southeast of the coral reef that he had been exploring. It was about one hundred feet long. That it was a ship was certain. Whether it was the Santa Maria is still an open question. The object that Dickson found in 1972______.
The balance of payment is a statistical record of all the economic transactions between residents of the reporting country and residents of the rest of the world during a given time period. The usual reporting period for all the statistics included in the accounts is a year. However, some statistics that make up the balance of payment are published on a more regular monthly and quarterly basis. It reveals how many goods and services one country has exported and imported and whether it has borrowed from or lent money to the rest of the world. Besides, whether the central bank has increases or decreased its reserves of foreign exchange is reported in the statistics. It is important to note that citizenship and residency are not necessarily the same thing from the view point of balance of payment statistics. In addition, for the purpose of balance of payment reporting, the subsidiaries of a multinational are treated as being a resident in the country where they are located even their shares are in fact owned by domestic residents. While the international organizations, such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, United Nations and so on, are treated as being foreign residents even though they may be located in the reporting country. Reported figures are normally in the domestic currency of the reporting country. Collecting statistics on every transaction between domestic and foreign residents is an impossible task. However, the authorities collect their information from the customs authorities, surveys of tourist numbers and expenditures, data on capital inflows and outflows from banks, pension funds, multinationals and investment houses. Information on government expenditures and receipts with foreign residents is obtained from local authorities and central government agencies. Such statistics are based on reliable sampling techniques and thus only an estimate of the actual transactions. With the reported statistics, the International Monetary Fund provides a set of guidelines for the compilation of balance-of-payment statistics published in its Balance of Payment Manual. Besides, the Fund also publishes the balance-of-payment statistics of all its member countries in a standardized format facilitating inter-country comparisons. These are presented in two publications: Balance of Payment Statistics Yearbook and International Financial Statistics. In an accounting sense, balance of payment always balances. Because it is based on the principle of double entry book keeping. Each transaction between a domestic and foreign resident has two sides: a receipt and a payment. And both sides are recorded in the balance-of-payment statistics. The information of Balance of Payment is collected______.
Many people seem to have the wrong image of schools in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with many assuming they are predominantly Islamic-based and tend to "cold shoulder the West". This is very much not the case as schools in the UAE are more open, more accessible and offer one of the highest levels of education in the whole world. Despite the fact that the UAE is predominantly connected with oil and other natural resources, many people seem to overlook the fact that the UAE authorities have invested billions upon billions of dollars into the local education system. The area now has some of the latest technology, the latest education facilities with the latest education techniques very prominent across the education system, which continues to attract overseas interest. While in some areas of the UAE education system there has been a battle between the more traditional and the modern politicians in the region, the area has embraced English as a general teaching language. This has proved to be very beneficial not only for those moving to the UAE from the UK for employment but also those bringing families to the area and also requiring education facilities. This has helped many of those expats moving to the region to settle quicker thereby enabling them to concentrate on other areas of their new life. Anybody who is resident in the UAE is eligible for inclusion in any of the state run schools in the region and those who do not fit the residency criteria can pay to attend local education facilities. There are also a number of international schools in the region, an area which is obviously targeted towards the expat market and which continues to grow. However, the education ministry in the UAE plays a very important and a very hands-on role in the area of education as a whole, something which is adding to "life in the UAE". It will come as no surprise to learn that there are various overseas universities prominent in the UAE with the American University opening its doors to Dubai back in 1995. The ongoing success of the American University in Dubai has prompted a whole array of other overseas education facilities to look at branching out into the UAE. The overall level of education in the UAE, both in state run and private education facilities, is excellent and the area has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. Slowly but surely it is becoming more and more apparent that the various rulers of the UAE have invested very wisely in a whole range of different sectors and areas of the region. However, a massive 25% of federal government spending is targeted towards the education sector, something which is continually bringing benefits to the region. When moving to the UAE from any area of the world you will have many things to consider but the very fact that high-quality education is available on your doorstep for your family is very much welcome. When mentioning the education ministry in the UAE, the author’s tone is______.
