The northern and shoutern polar
regions are different in many ways. The most important difference the
concerns the distribution of land and water. The northern artic regions
are ice-covered sea, almost completely surrounded by land. The pole
itself is in deep water. In the south, Antartica is a huge continent
which is surrounded by a great ocean. Because of this basic difference
other difference occur. The Artic has varied climate, while the Antartic
climate vaies little; the Artic has much plant life but the Antartic is
an empty desert. And whereas the Artic has been exploited economically
for centuries, trade has never really touched Antartica.
One reason for the present interest in both polar regions is that the world may soon be short of fresh water. The world's population is double in every 35 years, and the United States alone an average person uses about 1,500 gallons of fresh water a day. The ice in the northern and southern polar regions is actually frozen fresh water. In fact over 85% of the erath's entire fresh water is found in the polar ice. If we could find a way of carrying this ice to other parts of the world, this would solve all our fresh water problems. (taken from; Communicate in Writing p. 28b)

The chinese invented paper almost 2000
years ago. Origami, the art of paper folding, is just as old. It is
quite possible that the art developed from the ancient custom of making
paper houses, furniture, vehicles and servant, as well as paper money,
as part of Chinese funeral rites. These colored paper symbols are still
burned at Buddhist funeral so the dead person can live in earthly
comfort in the next world.
In the 7 century A.D. paper folding was brought to japan. The japanese developed many of China's art dan craft into their own forms expression. They found new methods of folding paper into pretty forms and images and made origami a highly creative art.
From a few simple folds the Japenese make thins of great beauty and realism. Some are used as religious symbols to decorate the temples. Others are good-luck symbols such as the tortoise and lobster, wich are used as ornaments fastened to gifts.
