Classmate

Do you remember, my classmate,

That first step into the schoolyard?

When I recall those cheerful days,

Tears of longing fill my eyes.

At seven years old — pure and innocent,

I felt the joy of being a pupil.

The school stood tall before me,

And I called it my “dear sanctuary.”

Do you remember our first teacher,

Who loved us like her own children?

She was our mountain of trust,

Her heart aflame for our young souls.

I still remember clearly

That little Alphabet Day celebration,

The verses I recited back then —

I cried today, recalling them.

Do you remember our mischief?

How we leapt so high when thrown to the ground?

Those moments were full of joy,

When we knew nothing of sorrow.

The first-time snow fell for us,

Oh, the delight — I still recall it.

Today I searched for those days in vain,

But they melted away with the snow.

When my mother braided my hair finely,

I couldn’t wait to run to school.

Each time I stepped onto its threshold,

I smiled with a child’s heart.

Do you remember, at the start of recess,

We’d run and race to the door.

No one could block our way —

We’d quarrel, then make peace again.

I remember the gloomy rainy days,

When we hurried home in the rain.

Today I searched for those moments again,

But they remain locked in my heart.

Years passed — we became young men and women,

Yet our mischief never truly left us.

Before time, we are powerless —

No one can bring those days back.

 
Spring returned, though the past did not,

It reminded me of our school garden.

Once we brought an armful of roses,

Decorating every corner of the classroom.

We filled each lesson with chatter and laughter,

Even troubling our teachers at times.

True, we were mischievous —

But our hearts were pure, like children’s.

We were in one class, one family,

Always ready to stand together.

Whatever the trial or sorrow,

We faced it side by side.

Skipping the last lessons of the day —

Why don’t we value school more?

We should have known those days would end,

Yet we never looked back with care.

When I recall it, my heart overflows with memories,

Appearing one by one before my eyes.

Our playful school years are now behind us,

Ahead lies a fate full of tests.

Though we cannot be together in one class again,

Our shared memories will last forever.

The final ring of the last school bell

Brought childhood rushing back to me.

Do you remember, my classmate,

That first step into the schoolyard?

When I recall those cheerful days,

Tears of longing fill my eyes.

Poetry from Jake Cosmos Aller

President of the Smithsonian

President Al Wilson

Not content with taking.

Over the Kennedy Center

As part of the MAGA movement

Culture war against the communists

Radical left-wing Marxist

Enemies of real America.

Had described that the Smithsonian.

Must reflect traditional American values.

And avoid divisive or anti-American.

Or anti-Christian propaganda.

Therefore, he decreed,

The African American Studies Museum

Must close,

The African Art Museum

Must close.

The American Indian Museum

Must close.

The Smithsonian must be color blind.

And not to mention race or gender

Slavery or the treatment of American Indians,

And the whole Chinese Exclusion Act

And internment of Japanese Americans

Which was a good thing,

Or the holocaust, for that matter.

End anti-American, Anti-Christian,

Anti-MAGA, cultural Marxism

Radical lunatic left, CRT, DEI

And WOKE programming.

Throughout the Smithsonian.

The African American museum holdings

And the American Indian Museum

And the African Art Museum

Will be sold off at an auction.

So the president decreed

MAGA baby all the way

RESTORING TRUTH IN AMERICAN HISTORY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order restoring truth and sanity to American history by revitalizing key cultural institutions and reversing the spread of divisive ideology.

President Trump aims to ensure that the Smithsonian is an institution that sparks children’s imagination, celebrates American history and ingenuity, serves as a symbol to the world of American greatness, and makes America proud.

The Order directs the Vice President, who is a member of the Smithsonian Board of Regents, to work to eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian and its museums, education and research centers, and the National Zoo.

The Order directs the Administration to work with Congress to ensure that future Smithsonian appropriations: (1) prohibit funding for exhibits or programs that degrade shared American values, divide Americans by race, or promote ideologies inconsistent with Federal law; and (2) celebrate women’s achievements in the American Women’s History Museum and do not recognize men as women.

The Vice President will work with congressional leaders to appoint members to the Smithsonian Board of Regents who are committed to advancing the celebration of America’s extraordinary heritage and progress.

The Order also directs the Secretary of the Interior restore Federal parks, monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties that have been improperly removed or changed in the last five years to perpetuate a false revision of history or improperly minimize or disparage certain historical figures or events.

In preparation for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026, the Order directs the Secretary of the Interior to complete restorations and improvements to Independence Hall by that date.

COMBATING CORROSIVE IDEOLOGY: In the last decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted effort to rewrite American history and force our nation to adopt a factually baseless ideology aimed at diminishing American achievement. President Trump is fighting back by reestablishing truth in the historical narrative and restoring Federal sites dedicated to American heritage.

The prior administration pushed a divisive ideology that reconstrued America’s promotion of liberty as fundamentally flawed, infecting revered institutions like the Smithsonian and national parks with false narratives.

At Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, the Biden Administration sponsored training by an organization that advocates for dismantling “Western foundations” and that taught Park Rangers that their racial identity should dictate how they present history to visitors.

The Smithsonian Institution—once revered throughout the world as a symbol of American excellence—has recently promoted divisive ideology that American and Western values are harmful.

The American Art Museum currently features an exhibit that purports to address how “sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism” and claims that the United States has “used race to establish and maintain systems of power, privilege, and disenfranchisement.”

The National Museum of African American History and Culture has proclaimed that “hard work,” “individualism,” and “the nuclear family” are aspects of “White culture.”

The American Women’s History Museum plans to celebrate male athletes participating in women’s sports.

CELEBRATING AMERICAN GREATNESS: President Trump is committed to honoring America’s extraordinary heritage and building a sense of national pride.

President Trump signed an Executive Order on his first day in office to establish a task force to prepare for America’s 250th birthday.

This Order also protects America’s monuments from vandalism and calls for construction of the National Garden of American Heroes.

President Trump signed a memorandum ensuring Federal buildings reflect the timeless grandeur of traditional, classical architecture.

By signing this Executive Order, President Trump is ensuring that American history is celebrated accurately, fairly, and with pride—honoring the remarkable progress, liberty, and ingenuity that define our great nation.

Meanwhile, In The Real World, You Can Be Fired For Going To The Doctor

Meanwhile

 In the real world

You can be fired

For going to the doctor.

the worker’s bosses.

Can refuse to let workers  

go to the appointment.

As they are not required

To grant them leave

sick leave.

Bad for the bottom line

And they have no empathy

For workers.

Who are seen as

Merely disposable, interchangeable  

Labor units of production.

Who should be replaced

By robots

as soon as possible.

People will be given a choice.

Go to work, gravely ill.

Or go to the EER.

And six hours later

Perhaps see an overwhelmed doctor

And told me to follow up.

With your primary care doctor.

Who the hell knows.

Who that is any more?

You get the bill

10,000 dollars,

Pay up sucker!

No money?

Not my problem.

And go back to find.

You have been fired.

For leaving or not showing

Up for your shift.

Doctors visit?

That’s not my problem.

You are going to die.

So be it.

We can find other workers.

Or robots to take your place.

Loser.

President Al Wilson Reverses Course on Climate Change, From Denial to Action in the Wake of National Catastrophe

With the destruction of most of Florida—including Mar-a-Lago—
Monster storms ravaging Texas,
And Los Angeles reduced to ash
By earthquake and fire,

President Al Wilson finally decided:
Climate change is real.
It is killing people—
Especially in red states

.
The costs of rebuilding are horrific.
The costs of doing nothing?
Even worse.

His advisors, once cautious, now urgent,
Convinced him to embrace

 a rapid shift to green energy.
Solar, wind, geothermal—no longer fringe,
Now the backbone of survival.

And beyond Earth,

Plans accelerate for lunar and Martian colonies,
With NASA’s bioregenerative greenhouses already in prototype.

Underground cities, domed habitats—once sci-fi,
Now contingency plans.

Wilson must work with the world.
Not just to lead,
But to redeem.

If he fails,
And the world turns

into a hellscape man created,

History will remember him
As the worst leader

 in human memory.

But if he succeeds—
If he reverses course,
And actually solves the problem—

He could be hailed
As the savior of humanity.

Doing something to change the future
Is good politics.

Continued climate denialism
Is bad politics.

And so,
He reverses course.


MAGA Dreams Come True

President AL Wilson

Had a dream

The MAGA dream

Coming true!

This time will be different

The internet and AI

Will be used

To make sure

That MAGA rules

And Christian values

Take over.

LGBT folks

Back in the closet

Where they beyond.

Women’s rights curtailed

Minorities deported.

Media tamed

The public distracted

By the latest fake

Celebrity scandal.

The rich live very well

With robot servants

Self-driving vehicles

Great health care.

Maybe even cloned body parts

But the poor

Will barely live

But who cares about them?

MAGA, Baby

The real scandal

The taking over

Of democracy

By the oligarchs

Not talked about.

The secret camps

Filled with people

Who disappear.

Climate change
well the rich

Can live on

In walled off

underground shelters.

The rest of the public

Who cares?

And so it goes

Democracy dies

In broad daylight

MAGA baby!

Essay from Vohidova Ruxshona

The internal structure of the planet Saturn

Young Central Asian woman with earrings and a tan and green coat over a white blouse.

A second-year student in the Astronomy program at Termiz State University

Annotation:

This article explores the internal structure of Saturn, the second-largest planet in the Solar System. It examines the composition and characteristics of its core, metallic hydrogen layer, molecular hydrogen envelope, and atmospheric features. Special attention is given to the processes influencing Saturn’s internal heat, magnetic field, and rotation. The study also discusses current scientific models and data obtained from space missions, which contribute to a deeper understanding of the planet’s formation and evolution

Kalid so’z: 

Keywords: Saturn, internal structure, core composition, metallic hydrogen, planetary science, gas giants, atmosphere, magnetic field.

The Internal Structure of Saturn

Saturn is the second-largest planet in the Solar System, with a diameter of approximately 120,536 km and a mass about 95 times that of Earth. It belongs to the class of gas giants.

1. Core

Saturn is believed to have a solid core at its center.

Estimated diameter: around 25,000 km.

Composition: iron, nickel, oxygen, silicates, and ice mixtures.

Estimated temperature: ~11,700 °C.

2. Metallic Hydrogen Layer

Located above the core.

Under extreme pressure and temperature, hydrogen takes on a metallic form. The planet’s strong magnetic field is generated by movements within this layer.

3. Molecular Hydrogen Layer

Composed mainly of molecular hydrogen mixed with helium.

Temperature increases with depth.

4. Atmosphere

Main composition: 96% hydrogen, 3% helium, with traces of methane, ammonia, and other gases.

Cloud layers are divided into three main zones from top to bottom:

Ammonia ice clouds Ammonium hydrosulfide clouds

Water ice clouds

5. Heat Source

Saturn emits about 2.5 times more heat than it receives from the Sun.

This is due to the Kelvin–Helmholtz process (gravitational compression) and helium rain.

6. Research

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 (1979–1981) provided the first comprehensive data about Saturn.

Cassini–Huygens (2004–2017) gathered highly detailed information about Saturn, its rings, and moons.

Closeup of Saturn with rings and several moons.

Saturn or Zuhal (Arabic) — one of the nine major planets of the Solar System; the sixth planet from the Sun in terms of distance. Its astronomical symbol is ♄. The average distance from the Sun is 9.58 astronomical units (1,429.3 million km). In terms of size, it ranks second after Jupiter. Due to its orbital eccentricity of 0.056, this distance decreases at perihelion and increases at aphelion. Saturn completes one full revolution around the Sun in 29 years and 167 days. Its rotation period at the equator is 10 hours 14.5 minutes, increasing toward the poles, as on Jupiter. Saturn’s average radius is 58,000 km, and at the equator it is close to 60,000 km. Its density is 0.72 g/cm³ (about 0.13 of Earth’s density), and its mass is 5.681 × 10²⁷ g (95.28 times that of Earth). It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. The inclination of Saturn’s equator to its orbital plane is 26°45′. Elongated dark belts along the equator and white spots can be observed on its surface.

Spectroscopic studies have shown that Saturn’s atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen (H₂) and methane (CH₄); later, acetylene (C₂H₂) and ethane (C₂H₆) were also discovered. Infrared observations indicate a temperature of about 95 K. Saturn emits regular radio waves and has its own magnetic field. Even at such low temperatures, methane and ammonia remain in a gaseous state in its atmosphere. Saturn was first observed by Galileo in 1610.

Saturn’s most remarkable feature is its ring system, which lies in the plane of its equator. The rings are mainly composed of three distinct concentric parts: the innermost S ring, the middle V ring, and the outer A ring. All rings are almost transparent, allowing the stars behind them to be seen. The gap between the A and V rings is called the Cassini Division. The rings are a few kilometers thick, have a diameter of about 250,000 km, and are roughly 100 million years old. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, it was established that the rings are not solid, but consist of numerous solid particles orbiting Saturn according to Kepler’s laws. Their infrared spectra are very similar to those of ice and frost.

Saturn has 22 known natural satellites. The largest among them are Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus, Phoebe, and Janus. Titan, with a diameter of 4,850 km, is one of the largest satellites in the Solar System (larger than the Moon). Titan possesses an atmosphere composed of methane and hydrogen. Of Saturn’s moons, only Phoebe moves in a retrograde orbit relative to the others.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in the Solar System. Along with Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, it belongs to the class of gas giants. It is named after the ancient Roman god Saturnus (Unicode: ♄).

Saturn is composed mainly of hydrogen, with small amounts of helium and other elements. The region near its core consists of rock and ice, surrounded by metallic hydrogen. Its outer atmosphere is generally uniform in appearance, although persistent storms sometimes occur. Winds on Saturn can reach speeds of up to 1,800 km/h, which is much faster than those on Jupiter. Saturn has a magnetosphere weaker than Earth’s but stronger than Jupiter’s.

Saturn is famous for its rings, which are made primarily of ice particles mixed with dust. Many moons orbit the planet — about sixty are currently known. Titan, Saturn’s largest moon and the second largest in the Solar System (after Ganymede), is larger than Mercury and is the only natural satellite in the Solar System known to have a dense atmosphere.

Essay from Mardonova Marjona

Change of seasons 

Mardonova Marjona Muhsin kizi 

Student of Polytechnic No. 1 

Tel number: 998-94-326-58-50 

Annals: 

Each person has their own favorite season. For example, my favorite season is autumn. Some people choose spring or winter, summer. Psychologists say that a person’s character chooses these seasons. Each season has its own charm and beauty, we see this beauty every 3 months because at that time the seasons change. During the change of seasons, weather changes can be a little difficult for a person, but you need to enjoy these processes, see and feel them. The change of 4 seasons during the year directly causes astronomical phenomena. For example: the movement of the earth around the sun, the tilt of the earth’s axis is one of the main factors. These four seasons bring about different phenomena. 

Keywords: 

Nature, change of seasons, years, weather, people, astronomical, earth’s axis, beauty, lush green, similarity. 

Introduction: 

As I mentioned at the beginning of my speech, these seasons that show everyone’s character, there is a season that shows my character too, this season is autumn. I like autumn because autumn reflects the happy and sad states of people. Autumn attracts with its golden leaves. Autumn neither expresses happy nor sad moments. The weather in autumn is changeable, cloudy, rainy, sunny, and sometimes even cloudy. There is another season that is similar to autumn, this is spring. In spring, the same events occur as in autumn. Spring is the opposite of autumn, while autumn shows joy and sadness, while spring often shows joyful times. Spring is the favorite season of many people. The reawakening of trees in spring makes people feel as if they are full of strength and energy. 

Main part: 

At the beginning of my speech, I talked about two seasons that are similar to each other. Now, after spring, we will talk about the season that brings with it heat and heat. After these words, it will be clear which season is coming, it is summer. In the heat and heat of summer, most people go to the mountains and fields to relax. Because only there can they enjoy the cool heat of summer. Another season that gives the opposite of summer is winter. If it gives bitter cold in winter, it gives hot heat in summer. Winter is also a very beautiful season. Winter has its own special charm. It is a great joy to see the trees turn a white, miraculous color in winter. 

Conclusion: 

Each season has its own special recipes. You just need to see these four seasons appear one after another and enjoy them. All these words are the miraculous change of seasons in the weather.

The Natural World 

The natural world becomes less natural when
We leave behind our plastic past
When we throw inorganic debris into its sea
When we secretly dump our toxic waste in reprehensible haste
When impervious politicians push back against laws
To keep our flawless green spaces green and clean
When we stump on the seeds of the earth by cutting down trees
To make more room for the gentrification of our open spaces
To the dehumanization and exclusion of “other” races
The natural world becomes less natural when
We don’t ardently squawk our exhortations against unnatural offences
It will be more natural when it finally dawns on us that
WE WILL ALL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!!!

Natural Haikus

Opened eyes see cloudy skies
Summer rain will fall down to earth
Gives rise to the rose…

Sun shines behind shady clouds
Naked trees do a grotesques winter dance
Waiting for clouds to fall

Birds waggle in their nests
Spring gives rise to fools for love
Happily flipping off the snowflakes

The Jolly Butterfly

Yellow and black butterfly perched on a gray bench, wings open.

“Jolly Butterfly” image c/o Jacques Fleury

The jolly jolie butterfly is throwing a party
It is expected to be a treat to its natural family
It is staging a grand theatrical production
And it’s seeking principal backers
So naturally it is producing a backers’ audition
Where it will beckon all their butterfly and insect ancestry
To strut contentiously their intrinsic beauty and esthetic ability
So that all the spectators can see
All those who work tirelessly
To speak up!
Stand up!
And own up!
When it comes to circumstances
Involving environmental grievances
All their allies from environmental protection agencies
And passionate college students from MASSPIRG
Ensures that their voices are HEARD!
Vociferously voice their obsecration
To liberate the earth from ostracization
So, the jolly jolie butterfly is throwing a party
And you are naturally invited to celebrate earthly beauty
That it is unstintingly striving to hold onto for posterity…
