First, according to an old legend, ever since the third century, monks began using caffeine in order to help them stay awake during evening prayer
services. Now, almost seventeen centuries later, we still use caffeine for the same purpose as well as other purposes.
Second, caffeine is absorbed through the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream, it takes anywhere from fifteen to forty-five minutes to
reach its peak levels. The blood flow through the kidney increases, which triggers urination.
Third, some more therapeutic uses for caffeine are: to help analgesics work more efficiently, to relieve depression to drug addicts, to kill skin
funguses, to improve the movement of sperm, and to keep people from having seizures during electroconvulsive therapy.
Thus if we want to say that first, we may drink coffee, without feeling scare of bad impact of the caffeine; second, don’t drink too much; third, drink
coffee for therapeutic purposes, at last we needn’t to addict to coffee.

In order to give a clear image about review here an example of review:
2012 illm
2012 is Roland Emmerich’s film which uses the Mayan calendar and other end of-days prophecies for their doomsday scenario. It images the world
coming to an end 2012. 2012 film brings off a series of wonders. The movie hits its peak early
on. It starts when Cussack drives a limo through the streets of Los Angeles as fireways and skycrappers crumble all round him from the shock of a 10.5 R.S.
earthquake. The preposterous flying sequence is equally thrilling. The climax occurs aboard the giant ark, when an equipment malfunction threatens almost
the entire mission.
Unfortunately, the crucial sequence is not filmed or edited with the necessary clarity. In 2012 film, Emmerich leaves us confused as to exactly
what is happening to whom. However, Emmerich 2012 deserves credit for casting Cussack.

McCarthy has perhaps his best role ever as Peet’s cocky. Danny Glover lends dignity to the role of the president. Chiwetel Ejiofor, as the chief
scientist, brings a moving sense of anguish to a stock role. Platt has fun playing the villain of the piece, and Woody Harrelson also chews the scenery
as a bugeyed radio prophet trying to warm his listeners about Armageddon.
All in one, 2012’s cinematography, production design and visual effects are awards-worthy. Music also propels the movie. It presents
American Idol runner-up. Adam Lambart, who provides a rousing anthem over the end credits.

Television: The best invention of the twentieth century?
During the twentieth century the world has witnessed the invention of many amazing things. Television is a great invention, but there are arguments for and against
whether it is the best invention of the twentieth century.
Television was invented in the 1920s and first came to Australia in 1956. It has played an important role in communicating news. We can learn instantly about
what is happening in the world because of television. Also, television has provided people with entertainment in their own homes. People in isolated areas can still feel
part of the world because of television. For these reasons I feel that television could be considered the best invention of the twentieth century.
