Today our essay comes from a leading figure in public life: John McCain, a Vietnam War veteran, presidential candidate and Republican senator from Arizona. Here's our series curator, independent producer Jay Allison.JAY ALLISON reporting:It is one thing to hold beliefs. It is another to have them tested. Senator John McCain's beliefs have undergone the scrutiny of public life and the harrowing personal trials of being a POW, and they've held up. The principles he lives by are the ones he's willing to die for. Recorded in his office in Phoenix, Arizona, here is Senator John McCain with his essay for This I Believe.JOHN McCAIN:I believe in honor, faith and service to one's country and to mankind. It's a lesson I learned from my family, from the men with whom I served in Vietnam and from my fellow Americans. Take William B. Rabnell(ph). He was in Patton's tank corps that went across Europe. I knew him, though, as an English teacher and football coach in my high school. He could make Shakespeare come alive, and he had incredible leadership talents that made me idolize him. What he taught me more than anything else was to strictly adhere to our school's honor code. If we stuck to those standards of integrity and honor, then we could be proud of ourselves; we could serve causes greater than our own self-interest.Years later I saw an example of honor in the most surprising of places. As a scared American prisoner of war in Vietnam, I was tied in torture ropes by my tormentors and left alone in an empty room to suffer through the night. Later in the evening a guard I had never spoken to entered the room and silently loosened the ropes to relieve my suffering. Just before morning that sameguard came back and retightened the ropes before his less-humanitarian comrades returned. He never said a word to me.Some months later on a Christmas morning, as I stood alone in the prison courtyard, that same guard walked up to me and stood next to me for a few moments. Then with his sandal, the guard drew a cross in the dirt. We stood wordlessly there for a minute or two venerating the cross, until the guard rubbed it out and walked away. To me, that was faith, a faith that unites and never divides, a faith that bridges unbridgeable gaps in humanity. It's the faith that we are all equal and endowed by our creator with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It's a faith I would die to defend.My determination to act with honor and integrity impels me to work in service to my country. I believe that the means to real happiness and the true worth of a person is measured by how faithfully we serve a cause greater than ourself-interest.In America, we celebrate the virtues of the quiet hero, the modest man who does his duty without complaint or expectation of praise, the man who listens closely for the call of his country, and when she calls, he answers without reservation, not for fame or reward but for love.I have been an imperfect servant of my country, and my mistakes rightly humble me. I've tried to live by these principles of honor, faith and service because I want my children to live by them as well. I hope to be a good example to them, so that when their generation takes our place, they will make better decisions and continue to pave the path toward righteousness and freedom.。

Continuous Consonants in American English Pronunciation Fricative, nasal, glide, and liquid sounds are all similar types of sounds in that they are all continuous consonant sounds; they are the same from beginning to end.(This is unlike discontinuous consonants, which are sounds with two parts. The first part of the sound is the stopping of air, and the second part is how the air is released, see Linking Discontinuous consonants for examples.) Fricatives are sounds that are created when air is restricted in the vocal tract and pushed smoothly out through a small opening. English has nine fricative sounds:■voiced th (this)・unvoiced th (thing)・sh sound (she)・zh sound (usual)■s sound (see)-z sound (zoo)・ f sound (four)-v sound (very)・h sound (hello)Nasal sounds are sound that are created when air leaves our nose instead of our mouth during the sound.・m sound (me)■n sound (no)■n— sound (sing)Glide sounds are also called semi-vowels. These sounds flow smoothly out through the mouth.・y sound (yes)・w sound (we)Liquid sounds are the r sound and I sound. These sounds flow smoothly out through the mouth.sound (right)・「-I sound (/eft)Because fricative, nasal, glide and liquid sounds are continuous, they can blend smoothly easily from one sound to the next.。
Source:httD：〃www・/Dolitics/2009/01/29/weather-channel・founder・blasts-gore-Qlobal-warminQ・camDaign/Weather Channel Founder Blasts Gore OverGlobal Warming CampaignPublished January 29, 2009| The founder of the Weather Channel is ridiculing Al Gore over his calls for action on global climate change, saying in a column that global warming is a "hoax" and "bad science."John Coleman, now a weatherman at San Diego's KUSI, wrote on his station's Web site Wednesday that Gore refuses to acknowledge the faulty research on which the idea of global warming is based.Coleman's lengthy scolding came as the former vice president and Nobel Peace Prize winner addressed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and urged lawmakers to pass a bill that would put caps on heat-trapping gases and take the lead on a global climate treaty.Coleman wrote that the Environmental Protection Agency is "on the verge" of naming C02 (carbon dioxide) as a pollutant, and that seemingly all of Washington is on board with such C02 silliness.""I am totally convinced there is no scientific basis for any of it," Coleman wrote, describing the decades-old theory that increasing the amount of carbondioxide in Earth's atmosphere leads to global warming."Global Warming. It is the hoax. It is bad science. It is a high jacking of public policy. It is no joke. It is the greatest scam in history；* Coleman wrote.The film The Great Global Warming Swindle claims that Global Warming is a hoax manipulated by some politicians. Here are some quotations from the film.A debunking of the current global warming fraternity:BBC: The Great Global Warming SwindleDOCUMENTARIES"Campaigners say the time for debate is over. Any criticism, no matter how scientifically rigorous, is illegitimate. Even worse, dangerous.But in this film, it will be shown that the earth's climate is always changing. That there is nothing unusual about the current temperature, and the scientific evidence does not support the notion that climate is driven by carbon dioxide (CO2), man-made or otherwise.Everywhere you are being told that man-made climate change is proved beyond doubt. But you are being told, lies."Quotes:“There is no direct evidence which links 20th century global warming to anthroprogenic [man-made] greenhouse gasses.”“We can't say that CO2 willdrive climate, it certainly never did in the past."“The global warming alarm is dressed up as science. But its not science, its propaganda."“[we are being told that] If the CO2 increases in the a tmosphere as a greenhouse gas, then the temperature will go up. But the ice-core records shows exactly the opposite. So the fundamentalassumption, the most fundamental assumption, the assumption of the whole theory of climate change due to humans is shown to be wrong.”。
