In 2007, the Philippine government declared and indorsed jathropa plant or locally known as tuba-tuba as the source of bio diesel. Jathropa is not an edible plant. It cannot be even consumed by animals because of its toxicity. According to experts, the remnants of jathropa, after extraction, becomes a nuclear waste. Malunggay, on the other hand,
about new cultures, this is an excellent place to go. The festival of Saint John is a Portuguese tradition where everyone comes together and has a huge fiesta or party. I personally went to attend this two-week long fiesta as a musician, I play the tuba for Lira Acoriana. The entire island congregates in the main town, Angra de Heroismo, and marches in a parade.

Use of Third Person and Innocence of Language in Aké The Nigerian novelist Wole Soyinka's memoir, Aké, is a story told through the eyes of a child.

rowing up on the Navajo Nation is an experience, compared to residing in a city. I grew up in Tuba city with a population of 5,000, no stop light until I was in elementary school, and played with the neighbor children until dark. Living in a household of fourteen people in a three-bedroom trailer were at times hectic. My siblings were years older, and one of my older sisters began a family in her teen years. The household consisted of cooking for a large family or finding a location to relax. I am
protruding from the water moving towards you, duhh dumm. Your heart starts racing as you frantically think of your chances of being able to swim away from this monster coming your direction with increasing speed, duh dum dum dum dum. With simple notes of a tuba, John Williams could amplify the fear portrayed in Steven Spielberg’s movie Jaws (1975).

In the middle of the 19th century, Congo Square became a center of musical expression. On these Sunday afternoons, a new form of music was born. Pioneered by those on the bottom of a society full of slavery and segregation, the origin of jazz was less a singular event than an evolving movement.
