Flower anatomy
Flowering plants are heterosporangiate and the pollen and ovules are produced in different organs, but these are together in a bisporangiate strobilus that is the typical flower. A flower is regarded as a modified stem with shortened internodes and behavior, at its nodes, structures that may be highly adapted leaves. In essence, a flower structure forms on a modified shoot or axis with an apical moisten that does not grow constantly. The stem is called a pedicel, the end of which is the tours or container.

Chocolate
Chocolate (pronounced /ˈtʃɑklət/ (help info) comprises a number of raw and processed foods that are shaped from the seed of the tropical cacao tree. Native to lowland tropical South America, cacao has been refined for three millennia in Central America and Mexico, with its earliest recognized use around 1100 BC. All of the Mesoamerican peoples made chocolate beverages, as well as the Maya and Aztecs, who made it into a beverage known as xocolātl, a Nahuatl word meaning "bitter water". The seeds of the cacao tree have a powerful bitter taste, and must be fermented to develop the flavor. After being roasted and ground, the ensuing products are known as chocolate or cocoa.
Much of the chocolate inspired today is made into bars that merge with cocoa solids, fats like cocoa butter, and sugar. Chocolate has turn into one of the most popular flavors in the world. A chocolate lover is also called as "chocoholics." Gifts of frustrated wrapped chocolate molded into different shapes has become traditional on certain holidays: chocolate bunnies and eggs are popular on Easter, coins on Hanukkah, Santa Claus and further holiday symbols on Christmas, and hearts on Valentine's Day. Chocolate is also used in cold and hot beverages, to make chocolate milk and cocoa.

Java Island
Java (Indonesian, Javanese, and Sudanese: Java) is an island of Indonesia and the position of its capital city, Jakarta. Once the centre of powerful Hindu kingdoms and the core of the colonial Dutch East Indies, Java now play a dominant role in the economic and political life of Indonesia. With a population of 124 million, it is the most crowded island in the world; it is also one of the most thickly populated regions on Earth.
Formed frequently as the result of volcanic events, Java is the 13th largest island in the world and the fifth largest island of Indonesia. A chain of volcanic mountains form an east-west spine the length of the island. It has three main languages, and most population is bilingual, with Indonesian as their second language. While the best part of Javanese are Muslim (or at least nominally Muslim), Java has a diverse combination of religious beliefs and cultures.

Types of seat belts
Lap: Adjustable strap that goes in excess of the waist, Used often in older cars, now uncommon except in some rear middle seats. Passenger aircraft seats too use lap seat belts.
Sash: changeable strap that goes over the shoulder. Used mainly in the 1960s, but of limited advantage because it is very easy to slip out of in a collision.
Lap and Sash: Amalgamation of the two above (two separate belts). Mostly used in the 1960s and 1970s. Generally outdated by three-point design.
Three-point: Similar to the lap and sash, but one single nonstop length of webbing. Both three-point and lap-and-sash belts assist to spread out the energy of the moving body in a crash over the chest, pelvis, and shoulders. Until the 1980s three-point belts were usually available only in the front seats of cars, the back seats having only lap belts. Evidence of the possible for lap belts to cause separation of the lumbar spine and the sometimes associated paralysis, or "seat belt syndrome", has led to a review of passenger safety regulations in nearly all of the developed world requiring that all seats in a vehicle be equipped with three-point belts. By September 1, 2007, all new cars sold in the US will need a lap and shoulder belt in the center rear.
