Everyone knows that paper is made from trees. But when one looks at trees, one cannot imagine that something so soft and fragile as the paper is made is so hard and strong. Plant materials such as wood are made of fibres known as cellulose. It is the primary ingredient in paper making. Raw wood is first converted into pulp consisting of a mixture of Cellulose, lignin, water and some chemicals. The pulp can be made mechanically through grinders or through chemical processes. Short fibres are produced by mechanical grinding. The paper produced in this way is weak and is used to make newspapers, magazines and phonebooks.

SINGAPORE: As part of National Day celebrations, Singaporeans will be able to catch a sight of helicopters and the state flag flying by in the heartlands on Aug 9.

Into its sixth year, the Fly Our Flag segment will feature two CH-47 heavy lift helicopters, each escorted by two AH-64D Apache attack helicopters, carrying the state flag across the island from 5.30pm to 6.20pm.

There will be two routes, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) said on Thursday (Jul 10).

The western route will include locations such as Bukit Batok, Woodlands, Choa Chu Kang, Jurong and West Coast.

The eastern route will comprise areas such as Seletar, Sengkang, Punggol, Pasir Ris, Tampines, Bedok and East Coast.

AERIAL DISPLAYS AT PADANG AND MARINA BAY AREA

As part of the pre-parade segment this year, the Red Lions and naval divers will be transported over the Padang and Marina Bay respectively before their descent for the inaugural Jump of Unity.

And while polls show it may only secure 10 to 15 of the 125 seats up for grabs, it is further eroding the support of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's shaky minority government increasingly beholden to opposition parties as it clings to power.

"In the past, anyone who brought up immigration would be attacked by the left. We are getting bashed too, but are also gaining support," Sohei Kamiya, the party's 47-year-old charismatic leader, told Reuters in an interview.

FLYPAST IN THE HEARTLANDS

On Aug 10, there will also be a fighter jet flypast over the heartlands from 6pm to 6.30pm.

Four F-16s will conduct a Fighter Island Flypast in a diamond formation through the heartlands of Singapore.

“Each loop will be flown twice to allow Singaporeans to have time to enjoy the flypast,” MINDEF said.
