check this out!✨

my video while explaining :D

Vocalist, instrumentalist, and songwriter Keshi built his infectious tracks out of lo-fi hip-hop beats and ultra-chill R&B vocalizing. His songs were defined by distant falsetto vocals, delicate and textural instrumentals, and booming drums, and singles like 2017's "over u" helped define a particularly gentle subset of R&B.

Keshi was born Casey Luong in Houston, Texas. When he was 13, he began learning guitar and first released bluesy and singer/songwriter-styled material under his own name. While working as a registered nurse, Luong shifted gears with his music. He took on the Keshi moniker in 2017 and first uploaded some demos experimenting with his new sonic personality. The lo-fi productions offered a sense of newfound musical freedom and excitement, and it wasn't long before his music took on a more solid shape. Defined by bittersweet melodies, lamenting lyrics of lost love and wobbly lo-fi hip hop beats, Keshi's first singles in 2017 broke through to millions of listeners. Tracks like "Just Friends" and "As Long as It Takes You" accumulated millions of streams and led to more acoustic-guitar based material like 2018's The Reaper EP. Keshi's music continued to develop, taking on more a more polished sound with 2019's four-song project Skeletons.

George Washington, a Founding Father of the United States, led the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War and was America’s first president.

(1732-1799)

George Washington was a Virginia plantation owner who served as a general and commander-in-chief of the colonial armies during the American Revolutionary War, and later became the first presideGeorge Washington was a Virginia plantation owner who served as a general and commander-in-chief of the colonial armies during the American Revolutionary War, and later became the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797.

Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was the eldest of Augustine and Mary’s six children, all of whom survived into adulthood.

The family lived on Pope's Creek in Westmoreland County, Virginia. They were moderately prosperous members of Virginia's "middling class."

Washington could trace his family's presence in North America to his great-grandfather, John Washington, who migrated from England to Virginia. The family held some distinction in England and was granted land by Henry VIII. 

But much of the family’s wealth in England was lost under the Puritan government of Oliver Cromwell.  In 1657 Washington’s grandfather, Lawrence Washington, migrated to Virginia. Little information is available about the family in North America until Washington’s father, Augustine, was born in 1694.

Augustine Washington was an ambitious man who acquired land and enslaved people, built mills, and grew tobacco. For a time, he had an interest in opening iron mines. He married his first wife, Jane Butler, and they had three children. Jane died in 1729 and Augustine married Mary Ball in 1731. 

Little is known about Washington's childhood, which fostered many of the fables later biographers manufactured to fill in the gap. Among these are the stories that Washington threw a silver dollar across the Potomac and after chopping down his father's prize cherry tree, he openly confessed to the crime. 

It is known that from age seven to 15, Washington was home-schooled and studied with the local church sexton and later a schoolmaster in practical math, geography, Latin and the English classics. 

A month after leaving the army, Washington married Martha Dandridge Custis, a widow, who was only a few months older than he. Martha brought to the marriage a considerable fortune: an 18,000-acre estate, from which Washington personally acquired 6,000 acres. 

On a cold December day in 1799, Washington spent much of it inspecting the farm on horseback in a driving snowstorm. When he returned home, he hastily ate his supper in his wet clothes and then went to bed. 

The next morning, on December 13, he awoke with a severe sore throat and became increasingly hoarse. He retired early, but awoke around 3 a.m. and told Martha that he felt very sick. The illness progressed until he died late in the evening of December 14, 1799.

Recreation Places : Kawah Putih

This week the material is descriptive text about recreation places.

The surrounding area is heavily forested. There is a pathway down to the lake which is surrounded by the high walls of the crater nestling into the side of Mount Patuha. The smell of sulfur is strong because there is a good deal of steam and sulfurous gas bubbling from the lake. There are tracks around the lake and through the nearby forest including to the peak of Mount Patuha. Visitors can walk around the crater area or sit in the various shelters. Local plants not widely found in lower altitudes in Java include javanese Edelweiss and Cantigy (Vaccinium varingifolium). Animals and birds which may be spotted include eagles, owls, monkeys, mouse deer, and forest pigs. Panthers, leopards and pythons have also sometimes been seen in the nearby forest.

A range of simple facilities exists near the lake. There is ample parking and public toilets. Entrepreneurial vendors sell trinkets and food. The site is well-signposted. Local farmers often take the opportunity to sell strawberries (widely grown in the area), steamed corn, and various other items such as pumpkin seeds (pepita).

Kawah Putih and the surrounding area (where there are resort facilities such as hot spas) is a popular spot for people from Bandung. On weekends and on holidays, quite large numbers of Indonesian tourists visit Kawah Putih. The site is so far less well known to international tourists. According to Perhutani staff at the site, up to 10,000 people might visit on busy holidays and the total number of visitors is perhaps 300,000 per year.

Hi! Nice to meet you again in the next chapter! Hope y’all keep healty and stay safe🤗💛 

Gedung Merdeka, located on Jalan Asia Afrika Bandung in 1895 was only a simple building. The building, which its area covered 7500 square meters became a meeting, place for “Societeit Concordia”, a society of Europeans especially Dutch who lived in Bandung and its surrounding.

In 1921, the building that was named as the name of the society, Concordia, was renovated to be the most luxurious, well facilitated, exclusive, and modern “super club” meeting hall in Indonesia by C.P. Wolff Schoemaker with art deco style. In addition, in 1940, for the second time, the building especially the left wing was renovated to be more interesting by A.F. Aalbers with international style architecture. The function of it was a place for recreation.

During Japanese occupation, the name of the building was changed into Dai Toa Kaikan and functioned as a cultural centre. The left wing of the building was named Yamato, a place to have a drink was on fire (1944).

After Indonesia proclaimed its independence (17 August 1945) the building became headquarter of the Indonesian youth in facing the Japanese troops and then became the centre of the municipal government of West Java. From (1946 – 1950), the function of the building again became the place for recreation.

Prior to the Asian-African Conference, the building was renovated and its name was changed into Gedung Merdeka by Indonesian President, Soekarno, on April 7th 1955.

As a result of the 1955 General Election, the Indonesian Constituent Assembly was formed and Gedung Merdeka became the Building of the Constituent Assembly. However, the Assembly was abolished through the Presidential Decree of 5 July 1959 and Gedung Merdeka was used by National Planning Agency in 1959. Later on, this building was used as the Provisional People’s Consultative Assembly from 1960 – 1971. In 1965, the Africa-Asia Islamic Conference was carried out in this building.

After the failed coup of G30S in 1965, Gedung Merdeka was taken over by the Indonesian military and part of the building was used as a prison for political prisoners. In 1966, the management of the building was transferred by the Provincial Government of West Java to the Municipal Government of Bandung. In 1968, the Provisional People’s Consultative Assembly changed the decree of Gedung Merdeka, which stated that the Municipality was only responsible for the main building, while the rest was managed by the Provisional People’s Consultative Assembly. In 1969, the management of the building was taken over by the Provincial Government of West Java from the Municipal Government of Bandung. In 1980, the whole part of the building was presented as the Museum of the Asian-African Conference.
