Jakarta (ANTARA News) –
Indonesia’s new sports minister, Roy Suryo said a conflict with regard to the
national football association,PSSI,should be resolved immediately.
On Thursday,he said the root cause of the problem should be identified.”The conflict should be resolved using correct and effective means,”he said.
He said the conflict had not been resolved because of the existence of two camps – PSSI and KPSI (Indonesia Football Saviour Commission).
Even the former sports minister, Andi Mallarangeng, had tried to resolve the conflict, but he was not successful.Andi Mallarangeng and resigned after his alleged involvement in a corruption case.The sports case was then given to chief minister Agung Laksono.Sadly, he was unable to silve the problem too.

Trip to Snow Mountains
When
my family was living in Sidney, we used to go to a place called Snow Mountain
because Sidney never has snow in winter.Well,the weather can get very very,very
cold and the temperature could go as minus5 degrees Celsius,but it never
snows.That was the reason why we liked go to Snow Mountains.
Our first trip to Snow Mountain was very exciting.We went with a group of foreign students from different parts of the world.We went by bus to Canberra and then we went up to the mountain. And believe me, you need to be an expert driver because the road was rough and wet. We had to go very slowly and cautiously.
Luckily, our driver was a real professional. He did a great job taking us to the mountain,but I saw many good cars sliding off the roads.The police were made busy by those accidents,but the police seemed to have anticipated the situations.They had all kinds of equipment to help the poor cars.

Acid
rain is rain that highly acidic because of sulphur oxides,nitrogen oxides,and
other air pollutants dissolved in it.Normal rain is slightly acidic,with pH of
6.Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8
Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life.Certain lakes,for example,have lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain.
Acid rain comes from sulphur in coal and oil.When they burn,they make sulphur dioxide(SO2).Most sulphur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulphur dioxide(SO2) and most nitrogen is also emitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2),both of which are gases.The gases may be dry deposited-absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation.If they are in the atmosphere for anytime,the gases will oxidise (gain an oxygen atom) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid(HNO3). The acids usually dissolve in cloud droplets and may travel great distances before being precipitated as acid rain.Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide,ozone and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in clouds.More ammonium(NH4) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralized by airborne ammonia(NH3).Acidication increases with the number of active hydrogen(H+)ions dissolved in acid..Hydrocarbons emitted by for example,car exhausts will react in sunlight with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone.Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of acid rain.When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and almunium(Al). When it is washet into lakes,aluminium irritates the outher surfaces of many fish.As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls.Forests suffer the effect of acid rain through damage to leaves,through the loss of vital liberated by acid,which damage roots and soil micro organisms.

This
year-end is gonna filled with a lot of films,especially local films.One of them
is “Habibie & Ainun”.It is absorbing a lot of viewers to come to the
cinemas.Predictably becomes another local box-office, “Habibie & Ainun”
played a more serious segment of this holiday time as it was adapted from an
autobiography written by Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie.He was Indonesia’s ex
president (he’s our third president ,working from mid 1998 to 1999) and he was
also the man behind the project of our
very first national airplane. The movie,”Habibie & Ainun”,talked more about
the relationship of Habibie and his wife,Hasri Ainun Habibie,since they first
met.
This romance was,of course,based on true story.Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie (played by Reza Rahardian),also called as Rudi or Habibie,was an Indonesian genius,master of engineering,and working in Germany,and Hasri Ainun (played by Bunga Citra Lestari) was a young pediatrician.After their first met in high school,they were reunited in Bandung,1962.They loved each other and soon they married.Habibie brought Ainun to Germany.They lived happily there and were given two sons.Suddenly,when Ainun suffered from ovarian cancer, Habibie was getting a call from the Indonesian government to devote his knowledge to develop his own country.Then they went back to Indonesia,as Habibie’s career was expanding to the governmental sector. Many challenges happened to their marriage,but their love survived trough years.
“Habibie & Ainun” is potentially gonna be full of tears.The purity of their love,the way they face problems that challenged their love… so heart-touching. Reza Rahardian,especially was outsanding in portraying Habibie.His acting greatly resembled the way real Habibie behaves. The way he talked sometimes brought laugh to the viewers,but it really how our third president talks.
Finally,our local films are now shifting from quantity advancement to quality development. “Habibie & Ainun” showed that our local cinema industry has all resources: great young actors and actresses, good and rotating film makers, and a bunch of great stories from ourselves. “Habibie & Ainun” closed 2012 nicely, heart-warmingly.

The
Pros and Cons of Youth’s Internet Usage
Twitter as well as the shared videos of Youtube is well known,but a Tel Aviv University researcher claims that these resources can actually promote psychological development. Prof.Moshe Israelashvili of TAU’s Jaime and Joan Constantiner School of Education,with his master’s degree student Taejin Kim and colleague Dr.Gabriel Bukobza, studied 278 teenage girls and boys from schools troughout the country. They found that many teens were using the internet as a tool for exploring questions of personal identity, successfully building their own future lives using what they discover on the web.
The study, published in the Journal of Adolescence, encourages parents and educators to look at engagement with the online world as beneficial for teens. Social networking, Israelashvili says, is a positive example of internet use: “Facebook use is not in the same category as gambling or gaming,” he insists, and as a result researchers should redefine the characteristics of the disorder called “ Internet addiction” in adolescents.
The teens were asked to rate themselves in terms of internet use, ego clarification and self-understanding and how well they related to their peer groups. The researchers discovered there was a negative correlation between internet overuse and the teen’s levels of ego development and clarity of self-perception. This he said is an indication that some internet use is destructive and isolating while some is informative and serves a socializing function.
There are two different kinds of teenage Web addicts, he continued. The first group is composed of adolescents who really are addicted, misusing the internet with things like online gaming and gambling or pornographic websites, isolating themselves from the world around them. The second can be defined as “self-clarification seekers” whose use of the Internet helps them comprehensively define their own identities and place in the world. They tend to use the Internet for social networking and information gathering, such as on news sites or Twitter.
Parents and educators should change the conversations they have with teens about Internet use, the researchers urge. The web is a big part of our modern lifestyle, and both adults and children are spending more time there. As a result, what is important is how that time is used.

A
flood is an overflow of water that submerges or “drowns” land. The European
Union (EU) Floods Directive defines a flood as a covering by water of land
not normally covered by water. In the sense of “flowing water”, the word
may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the
volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, which
overflows or breaks levels, with the
result that some of water escapes usual boundaries, or may be due to
accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground in an areal flood.
While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area. Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Floods often cause damage to homes and business if they are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding. Some floods develop slowly, while others such as flash floods, can develop in just a few minutes and without visible signs of rain. Additionally, floods can be local, impacting a neighbourhood or community, or very large, affecting entir river basins. |

are tall and interesting animals. Male giraffes are usually about six meters
tall. Half of the giraffes’ height comes from its neck, which is longer than
its legs.
A giraffe has big brown eyes which are protected by very thick lashes. Since it lives in parts of Africa which are usually dry with a great deal of dust, the lashes are an important source of protection. It can also cover its nostrils in order to protect its nose. It has brown spots on skin and this coloring helps protect the giraffes also have two shorts horns ion its head.
Like the camel, the giraffe can go along time without drinking water. One source of water is the leave which the giraffe eats from trees. Since it so tall the giraffe can reach the tender leaves at the top of tree.
Giraffes usually live in small herds and often feed with other animals. A baby giraffe is two meters tall at birth. It can stand up by itself within a few minutes and can run well in about two days.
Giraffes have two methods of self protection. If something frightens an adult giraffe, it can gallop away at about fifty kilometers per hour or stay to fight with its strong legs.

HOUSE HUSBAND’s HEART RISK
Most
people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health. But reversing
the traditional gender roles, being a house husband is a stressful business,
according to the latest research by American scientist. By giving up their jobs
in order to become house husbands, men increase their risk of heart attack or
coronary disease by as much as 82%, according to research based on 10 year
study of 2500 people in Boston, USA.
According to Dr. Elanie Eaker, the key to the problem is that some men became stressed about performing a role not traditionally assigm to them by society. Men who stay at home tend not to have the same levels of support from friends and family as women do the same.
Jack O’Sullivan, of the Father’s Direct, was quoted as saying: “Society expects the main career should be a woman and society is structured around that. Day care is called mother and toddler groups and some men feel amkward about belonging to those groups.
Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to underestimate the task of caring for a family. He said “ Most men think being a house husband involves putting on a bit of washing, taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee.
They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a variety of activities simultaneously-the kind of multi-tasking which is second nature to most women.
it is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker’s role in one in seven homes, as increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more junior positions.
