Food hygiene pp
The document discusses food hygiene and outlines the four key stages: cleaning, cooking, chilling, and preventing cross contamination. It emphasizes that cleaning involves thoroughly washing surfaces, utensils, and hands that touch food. Cooking ensures foods are heated to over 63°C to kill bacteria. Chilling keeps foods out of the danger zone between 5-63°C by refrigerating or freezing. Cross contamination is prevented by separating raw and cooked foods and thoroughly washing any surfaces that touch raw meat.
Clean nature
The universe and Earth are constantly cleaned through natural processes. Every living thing, from worms and ants to blood cells and clouds, plays a role in cleaning. The atmosphere blows dust and soil away while clouds sprinkle water to cleanse. Stars, minerals, and plants also clean. Atoms and particles never accumulate unwanted but are quickly cleaned if soiled. As on Earth, continuous cleaning is needed to prevent filth from overwhelming all life.
Volleyball
Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams of six players separated by a net. The objective is to ground the ball on the opponent's court using hands or arms to hit the ball over the net. Volleyball has been part of the Summer Olympics since 1964. Key techniques include spiking, blocking, passing, setting, and specialized positions. The game originated in 1895 as an indoor pastime created by William G. Morgan.

From failure to success
This document discusses the importance of persistence through failure. It notes that success comes from going from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm, as quoted by Winston Churchill.
