Manchester - PensiunnyaSir Alex Ferguson mengundang komentar dari banyak pihak. Tak terkecuali dari pemainnya, Javier "Chicarito" Hernandez, yang mengungkapkan bahwa dilatih Fergie merupakan sebuah kebanggaan.
Chicharito didatangkan Fergie pada tahun 2010 dari klub Meksiko, Guadalajara. Diboyong dengan banderol hanya 7,5 juta euro, ia telah mencetak 48 gol dari 113 pertandingan di bawah asuhan sang pelatih dan dijuluki supersub karena kerap mencetak gol-gol krusial setelah masuk sebagai pemain pengganti.
Meski sebagian dari jumlah pertandingannya adalah sebagai pemain pengganti, namun itu tak mengurangi rasa bangganya dilatih manajer sekelas Fergie.
"Ketika saya pensiun nanti, akan sangat membanggakan bisa berkata bahwa saya adalah salah satu dari para pemain Ferguson," ujar Hernandez seperti dikutip Sky Sports.
"Ini lebih dari sekedar anekdot bagi saya. Saya melihatnya sebagai sebuah pencapaian dan berkah. Ini adalah sumber kebanggaan, untuk berkata saya pernah bersama salah satu pelatih terbaik sepanjang sejarah."
"Sesuatu yang membuat saya terkesan adalah bahwa dia tak pernah kehilangan daya saingnya. Terlepas dari segalanya, ia terus menang dan ia terus lapar. Dia adalah seorang juara."
Setelah 26 tahun karier kepelatihannya di Old Trafford, Fergie akhirnya memutuskan berhenti dari kursi manajerial. Ia selanjutnya akan bertugas sebagai salah satu direktur dan duta bagi 'Setan Merah'.
Selama masa tersebut, Fergie berhasil membawa MU meraih 38 gelar. Di antaranya adalah 13 gelar liga, dua trofi Liga Champions, lima Piala FA, dan empat Piala Liga.

My Rush Time as a Journalist
I usually
woke up at eight o'clock a.m. and went to the Press Center
to check the daily schedule of briefings and press conferences. It was usually
held by the United Nation officials or disaster mitigation team.
It was
challenging to visit different refugee camps to find soft stories, human
interest stories. After that I went back to the Press Center
to cover the press conferences of the day.
It was
heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight for food and secondhand
clothing. Unfortunately as they said, the food and clothing were limited and
inadequate. Emerging to glaring, fool noon, it was time to go back to Press Center
to write stories and race against time. I was always fearing that the internet
would come crushing down.
After
everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I only ate once
a day because I always had to rush and again it was difficult to find food. I
had to travel quite far. I needed to spend a 30 to 45 minutes by car just to
find fresh food.

Cleopatra
One of the
most famous women in world history was Cleopatra VII. She was the brilliant and
beautiful last Pharaoh of Egypt. Historically, she became queen of Egypt in 51
B.C. at the age of eighteen. She was a Ptolemy, descended from one of Alexander
the Great's generals. When she was twenty-one, Julius Caesar became
her lover. Seven years later she met Antony. The romantic tragic
relationship continued until they died by suicide in 30 B.C.
Cleopatra was legendary. She was famous not only for her breathtaking beauty but also for her great intellect. She had brown eyes and they were shaped like cat eyes. Her skin was in fact an olive shade, darker than Hollywood actress Liz Taylor who potrayed her in the film 'Cleopatra' in 1963. She had medium dark brown hair, about to the middle of her shoulder blades. She had a reputation as an extraordinarily sensuous woman.
Cleopatra was a woman of remarkable poise and unusual intelligence. She was highly educated. She spoke proficiently in nine languages and also skilled in mathematics. She is often considered to be a stunning seductress though she was studying to be a nun. Cleopatra was a very intelligent queen and a politician with a great charisma.
Moon
Moon is the earth's satellite
which we often see in the night. The Moon is the one place in our solar system
where humans have visited. For the firs time on July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil
Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed the Lunar Module of Apollo 11 on the surface
of the Moon. Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the Moon. However do
you know what descriptive facts about the Moon are?
The moon rises in the east and sets in the west. It moves toward the east in our sky by about 12 degrees each day. The Moon is about 384,400 kilometers from Earth. The Moon has a diameter of 2,000 miles which is like to 3,476 kilometers.

The surface of the Moon has many things, such as craters, lava plains, mountains, and valleys. Scientists believe the craters were formed around 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago by meteors hitting the moon's surface. The Moon does not have atmosphere, wind and weather that is why the footprints left there on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts will remain there for millions of years.
The Moon is not a light source. It mean that Moon does not make its own light. It reflects light from the sun. All of us can can see the Moon especially in the night because light from the Sun bounces off it back to the Earth. If the Sun wasn't there, we can not see the Moon.
The moon influences many of the
tides in the oceans. This is because of the gravity force between the Earth and
Moon. At full Moon and new Moon, the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up,
producing the higher than normal tides. When the Moon is at first or last
quarter, it forms smaller neap tides.
My Cat Gregory
Gregory is
my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a
dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a
ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he
spends most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat.
He enjoys TV
commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with
cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor
of only the most expensive brands.
Gregory is
as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some and
repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted,
or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Gregory does not do
this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me
because he is jealous of my friends.

THE AMAZING TAJ MAHAL IN INDIA
Taj Mahal is
regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world. It was built by a Muslim
Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his dear wife at Agra.
Taj Mahal is
a Mausoleum that houses the grave of queen Mumtaz Mahal. The mausoleum is a
part of a vast complex comprising of a main gateway, an elaborate garden, a
mosque (to the left), a guest house (to the right), and several other palatial
buildings. The Taj is at the farthest end of this complex, with the river
Jamuna behind it.
The Taj stands on a raised, square platform (186 x 186 feet) with its four corners truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The architectural design uses the interlocking arabesque concept, in which each element stands on its own and perfectly integrates with the main structure. It uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and a symmetry of architectural elements.
Its central dome is fifty-eight feet in diameter and rises to a height of 213 feet. It is flanked by four subsidiary domed chambers. The four graceful, slender minarets are 162.5 feet each. The central domed chamber and four adjoining chambers include many walls and panels of Islamic decoration.
Taj Mahal is
built entirely of white marble. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond
adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in
the light of the full moon. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj
as if suspended when viewed from across the Jamuna river.

Example of Report Text in Earthquake
Earthquake often happens around us. It brings
great damages. Earthquake is hard to be predicted and that makes lot victims.
Actually there
are three kinds of earthquake. This kinds of earthquake are commonly base on
the factor and geological area where the earthquakes happen. These three kinds
of earthquake are tectonic, volcanic and explosion.
Tectonic
earthquakes is most common one. This kind of earthquake happens while earth's
crust rocks break because of the geological strength created by moving of the
earth's plates.
Volcanic earthquakes happen exactly with
volcanic activity. Volcanic earthquakes are when the volcano produces acidic
lava, which drys quickly, when it drys quickly it blocks the top of the
volcano. This make no more magma can escape. Pressure starts to build up and
eventually the acidic lava can no longer stand the pressure. So the volcano is
free to explode, the pressure is released so fast that an earthquake is caused.
A volcanic earthquake is usually kept within 10-20 miles of the volcano.
Explosion
earthquakes are the result of the collapse earthquakes that are small
earthquakes occurring in underground mines and caverns.

How Venus
Eclipse Happens
On May 16, 2010, people in most regions in
the world have seen a very rare natural phenomenon. It was Venus eclipse. It
was very rare amazing natural event. It was reported that the Venus eclipse
will seen again in the future in 2050. Do you know how this rare Venus eclipse
happens?
Well, actually Venus eclipse is like Sun eclipse. Venus eclipses occurs when the position of the earth, moon and Venus is parallel. Venus planet will slowly disappear for a moment because it is covered the surface of the Moon. Venus planet seems to move to the back side of the Moon.
The moon and planets are sharing a similar apparent path in the sky. That is why, it is not unusual for the moon to appear to pass close to Venus. In fact, the moon appears somewhere near it about once a month. However, most people don’t see these events because they are visible in the evening sky only half the time, and then only for a short period after sunset. The apparent closeness varies from month to month as well.

How does Rain Happen?
Rain is the primary source of
fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable conditions for
diverse ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop
irrigation.
The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth's surface water and causing the surface water to evaporate. The water vapor rises into the Earth's atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are heavy and fall to the earth as precipitation which can be in the form of rain or snow.However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while falling through dry air. This is called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.

How Earthquakes Happen
Earthquake is one of the most
destroying natural disasters. Unluckily it often happens in several regions.
Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken West Sumatra. It has brought great
damages. Why did it occur? Do you know how an earthquake happens?
Earthquakes are usually caused
when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of
energy causes the seismic waves. It make the ground shake. When two blocks of
rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They
don't just slide smoothly. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but
not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's
built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.
During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. The place right above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake.

Cancer
What is cancer? It is actually a
group of more than one hundred separate diseases. Most of us are fear from
cancer It is reasonable because next to heart disease, cancer is the second
leading cause of death.
Cancer cells come from normal cells because of mutations of DNA. Those mutations can occur spontaneously. The mutations may be also induced by other factors such as: nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, viruses, bacteria and fungi, parasites, heat, chemicals in the air, water and food, mechanical cell-level injury, free radicals, evolution and ageing of DNA, etc. All such factors can produce mutations that may start cancer.

Cancer cells are formed
continuously in the organism. It is estimated that there are about 10,000
cancer cells at any given time in a healthy person. Why do some result in
macroscopic-level cancers and some do not? First, not all damaged cells can
multiply and many of them die quickly. Second, those which potentially divide
and form cancer are effectively destroyed by the mechanisms available to the
immune system. Therefore cancer develops if the immune system is not working
properly or the amount of cells produced is too great for the immune system to
eliminate
How is a Kite Flying?
A kite is an object which is made
from a light material stretched over a frame. Due to its light material a kite
will lift off the ground and fly when it is tilted into the wind.
A kite is uses wind to make it fly because it is heavier than air. When wind travels over the surface of the kite, it is split into two streams of air. One stream of the air goes over the kite while the second stream goes under the kite.The upper stream creates an area of low pressure above the kite. The lower stream hits the kite at a shallow angle and creates an area of high pressure.The high pressure area has a pushing effect while the low pressure area has a pulling effect. The combination of push and pull can creates enough force to lift the kite into the air.
Kites have been known for thousand of years. They are used for military or scientific purposes. Todays kites are much used for leisure and competition.

Laptop as Student’s Friends
Conventionally, students need book, pen, eraser, drawing book,
ruler and such other stuff. Additionally, in this multimedia era, students need
more to reach their progressive development. Students need mobile keyboards to
record every presented subject easily. Of course it will need more cost but it
will deserve for its function.First, modern schools tend to apply fast transferring knowledge because the school needs to catch the target of curriculum. Every subject will tend to be given in demonstrative method. Consequently students need extra media cover the subject. Since there is a laptop on every student’s desk, this method will help student to get better understanding.
Secondly, finding an appropriate laptop is not difficult as it was. Recently there is an online shop which provides comprehensive information. The best is that the shop has service of online shopping. The students just need to brows that online shop, decide which computer or laptop they need, and then complete the transaction. After that the laptop will be delivered to the students’ houses. That is really easy and save time and money.
From all of that, having mobile computer is absolutely useful for students who want to catch the best result for their study. Buying laptop online is advisable because it will cut the price. This online way is recommended since online shop also provides several laptop types . Students just need to decide which type they really need.
Career in Translation
Functionally, translation is transferring the message or the meaning and not
the word. According to Nida, such translation is called dynamic equivalence
translation. It tries to bring the precise message in different language.Many people like to watch Hollywood movie but many get trouble in understanding to the actors’ dialogue. So the way they get the understanding about the movie is reading the translating text running. If Hindi translation is provided, it will bring the better understanding for Indian moviegoer. Hollywood movie spread over other Asia countries. Therefore, Arabic translation, Indonesian translation and Farsi translation are widely needed and that is a big chance for English master in that countries.
India is likely being an English speaking country. India translation will grow better and. It seems Indonesia, Malaysia and Filipina will reach that mark too soon. Translation job will be great in amount and that is good development for translating job seekers.
Opportunity in the Global
Financial Crisis
US financial crisis and its contagion to Europe and the rest of the world
could also create new opportunity for Indonesia in term of foreign direc
investment and the development of basic infrastructure.As the US, financial crisis has now spread to Europe, the oil-rich countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Arab Emirate which have accumulated hundreds of billion of Dollars in their foreign reserve, are now reviewing their holding or investment vehicle. They are looking for more diversified investment outside the US and Europe.
Because of unfavorable political developments in Thailand and Malaysia over the past few months, Indonesia which has largely Muslim population could become one of these oil-rich countries’ favorite place for foreign direct investment. That wil be true if the conditions, legal and market infrastructures are conducive for Islamic financial instruments.
The government had improved the legal framework with the recent actment of laws on sharia banking and bonds. The long term nature of Islamic bonds could make them the most suitable investment instrument for Indonesia, as these bonds grant an investor a share in an asset along with the cash flows and risks commensurate with such ownership.
The financial crisis that has gripped the globe and weakening economic growth in the rest of the world will serve to the government to accelerate the investment reform measures in order to grab the hidden opportunity in the global crisis. (Simplified from the jakartapos.com on Oct 9)
Is Smoking Good for Us?
Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50
thousands people die every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is
seven times as many as die in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die
because of diseases caused by smoking.Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for every body else.

Watch
your Kids While Watching TV
Television
becomes one of the most important devices which takes place in almost houses.
It can unite all members of the family as well as separate them. However, is it
important to know what your kids are watching? The answer is, of course,
absolutely “Yes” and that should be done by all parents. Television can expose
things you have tried to protect the children from, especially violence,
pornography, consumerism and so on.
Recently,
a study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day
or at bedtime often cause bed-time disruption, stress, and short sleep
duration.
Another
research found that there is a significant relationship between the amount of
time spent for watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and
the possibility of being aggressive.
Meanwhile,
many studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot and
being inactive and overweight.
Considering
some facts mentioning above, protect your children with the following tips:
- Limit television viewing to
one-two hours each day
- Do not allow your children to
have a TV set in their own bedrooms
- Review the rating of TV shows
which your children watch
Watch
television with your children and discuss what is happening in the show
More
Dust Bins is Cleaner
To
improve comfort and cleanliness at the school, there should be an increasing
number of dust bins.
When
we look at classroom, school corridors and schoolyard, there papers, mineral
water cops, straws, and napkin everywhere. The condition of unseemliness really
hinders learning and teaching environment. They can be filled out with water
coming from the rain. This can be placed for mosquito to spread out.
Anyway
I notice that most of the students have responsibilities for their school
environment. They put their litter on the proper place but some of them are not
diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of the dust bins in the
school are not enough. More dust bins should be put beside each step, outside
of the classrooms and some along of the corridors. Probably one dust bin should
be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they
can find the dust bins easily.
When
school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, students do not have problem of
discomfort any more. So provide more dust bins and school will be very clean
and become a very nice place to study.
Where
Should Be after High School?
The
National examination result will be publicly enounced in next short time.
Euphoria will flood for those who get success. In the other hand, It will be
sorry to hear that there are some of them do not succeed in their national
final examination. For those who succeed soon will think to decide; where will
they be after graduating high school? Actually it will be easy to decide for
those has been arranged and thought earlier but for those have not planed yet,
it will be quite confusing.
Continuing
study or looking for work is the primary choice among them. When they think
about continuing study, they will think hard about the time and cost. How long
the higher study will last? And how high is about the cost. In the same way,
when they think about straightly seeking job, what skill and competence they
have got is a big matter of questioning. So, doing both choices in the same
time is an alternative.
Continuing
study as well as seeking job is possibly done but it will be hard for them.
Conventionally studying in the university needs much time to spend especially
in the first year. It is true because they have to do and adapt a lot of things
in their new higher school. it will be very hard to looking for job. Therefore
it should come to their mind of continuing studying at higher school from their
own home. As result, the available time will be more flexible for them. Then it
will be very possible to seek job and get the appropriate one. This type of
studying is publicly known as distance learning.
As
the alternative method of studying, besides the conventional studying which
students and the lecturer have to meet in the fixed time and place regularly,
distance learning provides possibility to grow better. Possibly working and
studying surely will create high quality graduate. Distance learning should
appear as a considerable choice for them.
Learning
English through music and songs is Fun
Learning
English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure
with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your
English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why
we use songs in language learning.
Firstly,
“the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last
song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both
enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the
idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly,
songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of
repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact
that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text.
Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically,
lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other
literary sample.
Furthermore,
song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and
probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In
addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage
harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important
tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last
but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as
studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating
songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.
From
the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and
songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.
The
importance of Reading
I
personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life.
Why do I say so?
Firstly,
by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as
Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books,
magazine, newspaper, etc.
Secondly,
by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening
in any parts of the world which can we see directly.
Another
reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read
books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy, short
story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.
The
last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a
book about Irian Jaya we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not
at home in our rooms.
From
the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge,
information and also entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is
truly important in our life.

drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil
you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
- Next step, pour the wax into
the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to
minimise spillage and air bubbles.
- Then, release the bubbles and
top it up. Releasing the air bubbles ( gelembung ) will eventually make
the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more melted wax.
- Finally, remove it from the
mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out ( dikeluarkan
) of its mould.
- Your candle is now ready ( siap

Hacking: Pro and Contra?
Do you know what
a hacker is? Well, a hacker is a person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable
systems on computers and they like to stretch the capability of the systems.
And you know what, the activities they do in the computers are called
‘hacking’.
So, what’s the
problem with ‘hacking and its hackers’? Well, the problem is whether ‘hacking
and its hackers’ is legal or illegal? What I mean is that people in the world
have many different views about hacking and the hackers. Some of them take
sides, but many object.
To get back to
what I was saying previously, let us see the positive points of a hacker, shall
we? Although in most places breaking into computer systems is considered
illegal, I believe that hackers don’t do anything illegal because they only
want to know and try the systems. I dare to say that a hacker likes finding the
strengths and the weaknesses of a computer system. They feel proud if they can
find the weaknesses. So I don’t really see the crimes in this case. In
addition, these hackers sometimes help the police catch the ‘white collar
criminals’, such as bank robbers, money launderers, credit card forgers. For
example, in 2000, the U.S.
hackers caught some Singaporean hackers who made ‘Virus Love’ to break up the
programs of the U.S. National Security system.
Nevertheless,
those who object to the good points of a hacker say that hacking is a crime.
The reason is that some hackers use their brilliant skills to break into banks
and other vital institutions where they can get money, destroy information, and
the worst thing is they can get secret information and sell it to another
country. This is a treachery.
Take for
example, in 1994, The U.S. government broke a conspiracy of computer hackers
out of Majorca , Spain . These hackers were
responsible for accessing and eliminating 190,000 telephone credit card numbers
over computer bulletin boards in America
and Europe . Seeing this fact, I don’t blame
those who think negatively about hackers.
To put the whole
thing in a nut shell, I personally think that hackers are not bad people with
their brilliant skills. However, they could be bad because of money orientation
to get the wealth. That’s just the point.
Using Cell Phone in the School
In this globalization era, we
separate from technology, including cell phone.Now, many people have cell
phone. Including us,we also have cell phone, haven’t us? But there is a
controversy about using cell phone at school. Some people against with the
using cell phone at school, but some people support it.
Those who agree to use cell
phone at school will bring beneficial. For example, we can browse the internet
with our cell phone to find out some lessons that we don’t understand. Another
beneficial of using cell phone is if we haven’t scientific calculator and a dictionary or too heavy to bring dictionary to school, we can down load
scientific calculator and digital dictionary to our cell phone. So, we can
study with our cell phone.
Not
everyone agree with this idea, however some people feel that it could have
terrible effect. When the student feel bored with his lessons maybe be quietly
use his cell phone to play game or to access social networking such as facebook
or send short message to his friend. So, it will disturb his lessons. The fatal
effect is when student have something about porn in his cell phone. It makes
his moral so bad.
The school
rules therefore made rules about using cell phone at school. It can make the
student’s moral so bad. But, it can use to support our study.
Convenience
or Care?
When something issued by
someone, we say it has been consumed. We as consumers use many things, both
natural and processed. We consume more of the Earth’s resources than other
animals do and, as a result, we cause problems for the environment.
Like all animals, we need clean
air and water, food and shelter for survival. Unlike other animals, however, we
have certain “want”. These are items that are not necessary for our survival,
but that we want because they make our lives easier or more enjoyable.
Environments claims that a great
deal of waste is created by both the production and the consumption of these
items or product. Disposable products, such a pens, take away food containers,
plates, shavers and cutlery, are made using the Earth’s resources. When these
products are thrown away, the resources are lost.
Another example of waste is the
unnecessary packaging on many products. The material is often not recycled and
used again.
Throwing thing away also
increases pollution. The amount of disposable plastic litter that ends up in
waterways is a serious problem. When this waste reaches the oceans, it can kill
marine life.
Industrialist counter these
arguments with their own point of view. They claim that consumer’s expect to be
able to purchase food which is attractively presented, prepackaged to extent
its life and easy to store. In a busy society, convenience is a priority.
Products which make life easier, era in demand. Industrialist argue that they
cater to this perceived need.
Packaging is also big business
and provides jobs for many people who might otherwise be unemployed and a
burden to society.
Environmentalist declare that
for thousands of year, people survived perfectly well with re-usable
products. However, people of the twenty-first century have become used to wing
in a ‘thrown-away’ society. It is up to each one of us to dispose of waste
products carefully, recycle as much as possible and to reduce the stress on our
environment. Think when buying pre-packaged goods and consider whether the same
products can be bought without the extra wrappings. Let’s make the best of what
we have.
National Exam in Pros and Cons
National exam
becomes the hot topic in most of discussions. Though the Supreme Court has
rejected an appeal by the go-vernment on the organization of the national
exams, the controversy over whether it is necessary to maintain the national
exams (UN) has continued. Some debates include the primary questions such as;
does the quality of Indonesia
education depend on the national exam?, will the quality of the Indonesian
education system worsen without natipnal exam?
People, who
support the national exam explain that the quality of the Indonesia education system will
drop without the national exam, so they try to defend the current system.
Hoever there are
people who disagree with the opinion. Those who against this national exam kept
in our high school education say that it doesn't need the national exams
because the quality of education does not just depend on the national exam.
Further, the national exam only measures a small portion of students'
competence in specific subjects, and does not measure students' competences
throughout the semester.
In fact, the
national examination can still be useful as an instrument to evaluate or detect
the level of students' cognitive competence in several subjects, on a national
scale.
Laptop
The impact of
gender on computer related attitudes, ability, and use has been actively
documented, but little research has been done examining how to modify and
reduce imbalances. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of
ubiquitous computing (24-hour access to a laptop and the Internet) on gender
differences in pre-service teachers with respect to computer attitudes,
ability, and use. Regarding computer attitudes, gender differences before the
laptop program were observed in only one of the four constructs assessed: future
intentions to use computers (behavioral attitude). There were no significant
differences in attitude between males and females after the laptop program.
With respect to computer ability, males reported having stronger skills in five
of the ten ability constructs assessed before the laptop program (operating
systems, database software, creating a web page, and programming). There were
no significant gender differences in ability after the laptop program, with the
exception of programming which continued to favor males. It is speculated that
the gender equalization effect observed in this study could have a significant
impact on the extent to which technology is used by future students, especially
given recent trends in promoting the use of technology in the classroom.

Snake in the Bathroom
How would you like to find a snake in you bath?
We had just moved into a new house, which had been empty for so long that everything was in a terrible mess. Anna and I decided that we would clean the bath first, so we set to, and turned on the tap.
Suddenly to my horror, a snake's head appeared in the plug hole. Then out slithered the rest of his long thin body. He twisted and turned on the slippery bottom of the bath, spitting and hissing at us.
For an instant I stood there quite paralyzed. Then I yelled for my husband, who luckily came running and killed the snake with the handle of a broom.
Anna, who was only three at the time, was quite interested in the whole business. Indeed I had to pull her out of the way or she'd probably have lean over the bath to get a better look.
We found out later that it was a black mamba, a poisonous kind of snake. It had obviously been fast asleep, curled up at the bottom of the nice warm water-pipe. It must have had an awful shock when the cold water came trickling down! But nothing to the shock I got! Ever since then I've always put the plug in firmly before running the bath water

From
Bankrupt Candle to Best Seller Soap
In
1879, William Procter and James Gamble's best seller was candles. They had
begun business together in Cincinnati. While they were in peak of popularity,
the candle company was in trouble as Thomas Edison had invented the light bulb.
It looked as if their candle product would become obsolete. People would like
to use light bulb and would not use candle anymore.
The fears became reality when the market for candles plummeted since the candle product were now sold only for special occasions. The outlook of candle company appeared to be bleak and depressing for Procter and Gamble. The situation was more miserable. Several months later the accident occurred. Without thinking one of the employee left to go to lunch and forgot to turn off the machine. Since the machinery was left in operation, air would work its way into the mixture.
However after discussing with his supervisor, the employee decided not to discard the mixture. Instead, he poured the mixture into frames and the soap hardened. Thus, the floating soap was born. Harley Procter decided to give the soap a name that people could remember. Then the soap was named IVORY. This ivory soap became the mainstay of the Procter and Gamble Company.
Amazingly, Procter and Gamble began to receive letters from buyers of this "accidental" soap. They wanted more of the soap that floats. Ivory soap was introduced to the marketplace. Even though this interesting formula was one of their best products, they were perplexed as to how this happened. The mysterious formula for the floating soap was resolved when the lunchtime accident was revealed.

Blessing behind Tragedy
There was a black
family in Scotland years ago. They were Clark family with nine children. They
had a dream to go to America. The family worked and saved. They were making
plan to travel with their children to America. It had taken several years but
finally they had saved enough money. They had gotten passport. They had booked
seats for the whole family member in a new liner to America.
The entire family was full of anticipation and
excitement with their new life in America. However few days before their
departure, the youngest son was bitten by a dog. The doctor sewed up the boy.
Because of the possibility of getting rabies, there were being quarantined for
long days. They were in quarantine when the departure time came. The family
dreams were dashed. They could not make the trip to America as they had
planned.
The father was full of disappointed and anger. He
stomped the dock to watch the ship leaved without him and his family. He shed
tears of disappointment. He cursed both his son and God for the misfortune.
Five days latter, the tragic news spread throughout
Scotland. The ship, the mighty Titanic, had shank. It took hundreds of
passenger and crew with it. Titanic which had been called the unsinkable ship
had sunk. It was unbelievable but it was.
The Clak family should have been on that ship, but
because of the bitten son by a dog, they were left behind. When the father
heard the news, he hugged the son and thanked him for saving the family. He
thanked God for saving their lives. It was a blessing behind a tragedy.

What time is it?
A tramp lie down and sleep in the park. He had been sleeping for about 5 minutes when a couple walked by. The man stopped, woke the tramp up , and asked him, "Excuse me.
Do you know what the time is?" The tramp replied, "I'm sorry - I don't have a watch, so I don't know the time."
The man apologized for waking the tramp and the couple walked away.
The tramp lay down again, and after a few minutes went back to sleep. Just then, a woman, who was out walking her dog, shook the tramp's shoulder until he woke up again.
The woman said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I'm afraid I've lost my watch - do you happen to know the time?" The tramp was a little annoyed at being woken up again, but he politely told the woman that he didn't have a watch and didn't know the time.
After the woman had gone, the tramp had an idea.
He opened the bag that contained all his possessions and got out a pen, a piece of paper and some string. On the paper, he wrote down, 'I do not have a watch. I do not know the time'.
He then hung the paper round his neck and eventually dropped off again.
After about 15 minutes, a policeman who was walking through the park noticed the tramp asleep on the bench, and the sign around his neck.
He woke the tramp up and said, "I read your sign. I thought you'd like to know that it's 2:30 p.m."

the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages
the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room
stops to listen.

MAN: "Yes"
WOMAN: "I'm at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's
only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2007
models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "$80,000."
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing. The house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!"

Loving Money Too Much
There was a
man who liked money very much. He worked all of his life and wanted to save all
of his money for his own future. He was a real miser when it came to his money.
He loved money more than just about anything.
Even, just before he died, he said to his wife; "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife." So he asked his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day, he really died. Then he was stretched out in the casket. The wife was sitting there in black clothes next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!"
She had a box in her hands. She came over with the box and placed it in the casket. After that the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Not long after that, her friend said, "I hope you were not crazy enough to put all that money in the casket."
The wife turned to her friend and replied; "Yes, because I have promised." Then she continued; "I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him." Feeling shocked, her friend said; "You mean that you have put every cent of his money in the casket with him?" Then the wife answered; "Surely I did. I got it all together, put all the money into my account and I just wrote him a check."

The Zoo Job Story
One day a clown was
visiting the zoo and attempted to earn some money by making a street
performance. He acted and mimed perfectly some animal acts. As soon as he
started to drive a crowd, a zoo keeper grabbed him and dragged him into his
office. The zoo keeper explained to the clown that the zoo's most popular
gorilla had died suddenly and the keeper was fear that attendance at the zoo
would fall off. So he offered the clown a job to dress up as the gorilla until
the zoo could get another one. The clown accepted this great opportunity.
So the next morning the clown put on the gorilla suit and entered the cage before the crowd came. He felt that it was a great job. He could sleep all he wanted, played and made fun of people and he drove bigger crowds than he ever did as a clown. He pretended the gorilla successfully.
However, eventually the crowds were tired of him for just swinging on tires. He began to notice that the people were paying more attention to the lion in the next cage. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he decided to make a spectacular performance. He climbed to the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this made the lion furious, but the crowd people loved it.
At the end of the day the zoo keeper came and gave him a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this went on for some time, he kept taunting the lion, the audience crowd grew a larger, and his salary kept going up. Then one terrible day happened. When he was dangling over the furious lion, he slipped and fell into the lion cage. The clown was really in big terrible situation. He was terrified.
Sooner the lion gathered itself and prepared to pounce. The clown was so scared. He could do nothing and he began to run round and round the cage with the lion close and closer behind. Finally, the lion could catch him. The clown started screaming and yelling, "Help me, help me!", but the lion was quick and pounces. The clown soon found himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and suddenly he heard a voice from the lion’s mouth;"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?".

Tombs
with Mummy Found in Egypt
CAIRO – Archaeologists have unearthed 57 ancient Egyptian
tombs, most of which hold an ornately painted wooden sarcophagus with a mummy
inside, Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities said Sunday.
The oldest tombs date back to around 2750 B.C., during the period of Egypt’s first and second dynasties, the council said in a statement.Twelve of the tombs belong the 18th Dynasty, which ruled Egypt during the second millennium B.C. The 18th Dynasty includes such well-known pharaohs as Tutankhamun, Akhenaten and Queen Hatshepsut.
The discovery throws new light on Egypt’s ancient religions, the council said.

Indonesian Migrant Worker dies in
Malaysia
An Indonesian migrant worker Munti Binti Bani has died on Monday after being hospitalized for several days due to alleged torture by her employees in Selangor, Malaysia.
Antara state news agency has reported that Munti had been treated at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah hospital since last Tuesday and died on Monday at 10 a.m, local time. Munti was found unconscious with her hands and feet were tied in a bathroom in Taman Sentosa housing complex last Tuesday. She was suffering from major wounds on her body and had apparently been beaten with iron.
Munti's body will be sent tomorrow to her hometown in Pondok Jeruk Barat village of Jombang, East Java after undergoing autopsy at the hospital. “We express our deep condolences as there is yet another worker who was tortured and passed away at the hospital,” Indonesia's Ambassador for Malaysia, Da'i Bachtiar said in Kuala Lumpur on Monday. “The Embassy will arrange for all compensation, including insurance, she deserves to receive,” Da'i said.
He added that Munti's employees Vanitha and Murugan had been detained and were undergoing questioning at the local police office. “We hope the police can uphold justice and punish them should they be proven to be involved in the case,” he said.

Taufik
Hidayat Quiting National Badminton Team
After 13 years of service, which
culminated in an Olympic gold medal, shuttler Taufik Hidayat announced Friday
his resignation from the national training camp in Jakarta.
“My decision to resign is final. It’s not an impulse or emotional decision. I’ve been thinking about quitting the national team since 2004, after I won at the Athens Olympics,” he said. “However, people kept on encouraging me to stay in the national team, considering my potential and my youth. Therefore I stayed until 2008.”
In 2001, Taufik threatened to quit the training camp because of Mulyo’s exclusion. Mulyo is his mentor. He only rejoined the national team after the PBSI agreed to reinstate Mulyo. In 2004, Taufik made yet another threat to quit, and again backed down from it.
“It’s time for younger players to take the baton. I’m giving way to them. It’s all about regeneration in Indonesian badminton,” he said.
“My decision to resign is final. It’s not an impulse or emotional decision. I’ve been thinking about quitting the national team since 2004, after I won at the Athens Olympics,” he said. “However, people kept on encouraging me to stay in the national team, considering my potential and my youth. Therefore I stayed until 2008.”
In 2001, Taufik threatened to quit the training camp because of Mulyo’s exclusion. Mulyo is his mentor. He only rejoined the national team after the PBSI agreed to reinstate Mulyo. In 2004, Taufik made yet another threat to quit, and again backed down from it.

It was announced on Tuesday that
Disney Channel movie with tourmate Demi Lovato, "Camp Rock 2: The Final
Jam," will premiere on September 3 at 8 p.m. ET.

original songs that a press release promises will span genres from hip-hop to
rock to pop.
The flick will not only have more
summer lovin' between real-life couple Lovato and Joe Jonas as Mitchie and

Rockers and a group of musicians at another summer camp, Camp Star, including a
love interest for Nick Jonas, played by Chloe Bridges.
The JoBros promise the movie's music
will be every bit as entertaining as its plot, which has been kept a secret
since the movie was shot. "The songs are really cool," Joe told MTV
News.

TASK 2
Throughout
history, the search for salt has played an important role in society. Where
there was no salt near, it was brought from great distances. Thus, salt became
one of the most important articles of early trade. Records show that in areas
of scarcity, salt was traded ounce for ounce for gold. Rome’s major highway was
called the via Salaria, that is, the
Salt Road. Along that road, Roman soldiers transpoted salt crystals from the
salt flats at Ostia up the Tiber River. In return, they received a salarium or
salary, which was literally money paid to soldiers to buy salt. The old saying
“ worth their salt,” which means to be valuable, devires from the custom of
payment during the empire. The cavaran trade of the Sahara was also primarily
an exchange of goods for salt. Among ancient peoples there, to eat salt with
another person was an act of friendship. Slaves were often purchased with salt.
Salt was so important in the Middle Ages that Governments retained salt trade
as a monopoly, or levied taxes on its purchase. By then, peolpe’s social rank was demonstrated by where they
sat at the table, above or below the salt.
Even
today, in some remote regions of the world, salt is a luxury item. In fact, in
few isolated areas of Southeast of Asia and Africa, cakes made of salt are
still used for money.
