Fires Again Ravage Indonesia's Forests

Asia: Farmers, timber companies set blazes to clear land
Haze threatens region already in economic crisis
Los Angeles Times
March 23, 1998
The fastest way to clear a rain forest for agriculture—or paradoxically, for timber production—is to burn it. Despite the fact that the devastating environmental impacts of burning have prompted bans on the practice, it is still widespread. In the drought-primed fall of 1997, environmentalists’ worst fears were realized when deliberately set fires spread out of control in Indonesia. The fires destroyed large areas of one of the last great rain forests on earth and blanketed Southeast Asia with a debilitating haze. In this Los Angeles Times article, journalist David Lamb reports on the resurgence of the Indonesian fires in spring 1998, their impact, and the political and economic reasons behind the fires.
By David Lamb
SAMARINDA, Indonesia — The man-made Indonesian fires that blanketed Southeast Asia last autumn with clouds of choking haze are burning again, raising the specter that another environmental disaster looms just ahead.
When that earlier haze—a regional euphemism for fire-caused pollution—swept over Southeast Asia, it closed airports, crippled tourism and caused serious health problems. Now, in every direction, flames and tufts of smoke are rising from the scorched and smoldering earth, and, acre by acre, one of the world's last great rain forests is being eaten away, leaving one German forest-management expert to comment: "We are at the point of no return."
On Sunday [March 22, 1998], the Suara Pembaruan newspaper in the capital, Jakarta, reported that smoke from the fires has caused 297 cases of pneumonia and that two people have died.
Here on the road to Balikpapan, the flames are no bigger than those from the coals of a barbecue grill, but they have given the drought-ravaged land an eerie reddish glow and, whipped to and fro by hot, heavy winds, have crept to the very doorstep of Omar Kamorusn's one-room wooden home.
"Of course I worry we will burn," he said. "But what can we do to stop it? Our nearest water is an hour's walk. My only equipment is a rake and shovel. But this is nothing new. We have fires every year. They are how we live."
If he didn't set fires, the 46-year-old Kamorusn said, there would be no way to clear the land for his crops of rice and peppercorn. He knows that the government has forbidden burning, but his family has been doing it for generations. And, when the land is less dry, the fires can be controlled with ditches and firebreaks.
He added, "If we do not burn, we do not eat."
In Samarinda, German environmentalists tracking the brush fires through satellite images have pinpointed 1,000 blazes here on the island of Borneo. Some were set by peasant farmers such as Kamorusn. But the majority, the Germans say, are on land leased by powerful timber companies—many with ties to the top levels of the Indonesian government—that still use slash-and-burn techniques as the fastest, cheapest way to convert rain forests into timber estates and palm-oil plantations.
Indonesia has more than 10% of the world's rain forests, and 40% of Asia's. And each year, says the international environmental organization Earth Action, the nation is destroying an area larger than Lebanon. Only Brazil's rain forests are disappearing at a faster rate.
One of the world's largest exporters of wood products, Indonesia desperately needs its logging income, particularly with its current economic crisis. Although the government has forbidden clearing land by fire, and some government officials have shown concern about the impact of fire and haze, the timber companies' links to the regime of President Suharto make corrective action difficult.
"The government has the exact coordinates of every fire and would like to make an example by closing down one of the companies," said Ludwig Shindler, a German fire-management expert. "But a lot of companies are protected and can't be touched, for obvious reasons."
Last year, 160 Indonesian companies were accused of culpability. Only 46 were fully investigated, and only five will be prosecuted. In Malaysia, the government fined 17 companies for ignoring a no-burn policy. Their collective penalty amounted to $8,000.
Among the companies accused last year of torching Indonesia's East Kalimantan province on Borneo was a subsidiary of Astra International, which is run by Mohammed "Bob" Hasan, Indonesia's timber tycoon and a member of Suharto's new Cabinet. He rejected criticism that the timber companies have been reckless.
"We want to develop our country on a sustainable basis," Hasan told the BBC. "But sometimes, NGOs [nongovernmental organizations] come in and say you are violating environmental rules … human rights." He rejected the accusations as the work of Communists.
The latest outbreak of fires, coming after last year's blazes were finally extinguished by seasonal rains, raises the threat that Southeast Asia, already laboring under a regionwide economic downturn, will have to endure another season of debilitating haze. It is a threat that could have political as well as economic repercussions.
Towns around Samarinda are already on red alert, and some days the haze is thick enough to close roads and reduce visibility to 60 feet. The Malaysian city of Kuching on Borneo recorded an air pollution index reading of 400 recently—four times what is considered unhealthy. When the prevailing winds blow toward the north in April or May, the haze could again be blown into Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines and peninsular Malaysia.
Malaysia is especially concerned. It has invested $520 million to host the Commonwealth Games in September, and a repeat of last year's haze could keep tourists away in droves and result in health problems for athletes.
And Singapore, among others, fears that if, as now seems likely, haze has become part of Indonesia's foreign policy and one of its exports, the regional economic recovery that is just taking hold in some countries will be seriously set back.
"If we do not help them [Indonesians], the economic losses to us and the entire region are tremendous," Singapore's environment minister, Yeo Cheow Tong, said. "Whatever we can spend to help will be money well spent."
In many ways, Western political analysts say, the region's financial crisis and the return of the fires stem from the same root: an unwillingness to enforce stringent regulations that apply to everyone, not just to those who have no links to the top levels of government. The fires, the analysts say, have just one underlying cause—poor forest management.
Environment ministers of the Assn. of Southeast Asian Nations have reacted more quickly to the latest rash of fires than they did to the disaster last year. Meeting in Kuching [on the Malaysian Island of Borneo] last month, they adopted measures calling on Malaysia to focus on fire prevention, Singapore to concentrate on satellite monitoring and Indonesia to stick to fighting the fires.
The problem is that Indonesia has no effective means to battle the blazes. Its effort to induce rain by using three planes for cloud-seeding proved futile, and its handful of tanker trucks is only useful fighting fires along roadsides. A crash program is underway to train 1,000 soldiers as firefighters.
But such steps may prove meaningless without new governmental directions. With Indonesia's population growing by 2 million a year, the government's official policy is to convert more than 40 million acres of rain forest to farmland and living space by 2020.

More Languages In Indonesia

About 300 languages and dialects are spoken in Indonesia, but Bahasa Indonesia is the official and most widely spoken tongue. Its common use has helped unify the country since independence in 1949. Bahasa Indonesia is based on Malay, long the market language of coastal towns, and it contains elements of Chinese, Indian, Dutch, and English. In 1972 Indonesia and Malaysia, where the Malay-based Bahasa Malaysia is the official language, agreed on a revised and uniform system for spelling Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Malaysia. Today, television programs, major newspapers, schools, and universities all use Bahasa Indonesia.
Other languages are also widely used, and many Indonesians speak two or more languages. These languages, as well as Bahasa Indonesia, belong mainly to the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian languages family. They include Javanese, with more than 80 million speakers, and Sundanese, spoken by residents of the western end of Java. Acehnese, Batak, Minangkabau, and Malay are spread throughout Sumatra. Among the languages spoken on Sulawesi are Minahasan, dialects of Torajan, Buginese, and Makassarese. On the eastern islands, Balinese, Sasak (Lombok), and Sumbawan are spoken. The people of Kalimantan speak Malay dialects, Iban, and other dialects. Trans-New Guinea and West Papuan languages are spoken in Papua and in the northern parts of Maluku. English is in growing use as the language of business, while older people who were educated in Dutch schools before independence occasionally use Dutch.

Badminton in Indonesia


In the city of Solo on the Indonesian island of Java, the town square is a smooth dirt surface illuminated by blue fluorescent lights hanging from electrical cords. Every day, from morning to midnight, townspeople sit on easy chairs and watch players whack a small object made of cork, goat leather, and goose feathers back and forth with flimsy-looking rackets made of wood. The game they play is bulutangkis, and it is a national obsession. Outside of Indonesia the game is known as badminton.
Badminton was invented in the 1860s by the daughters of the Duke of Beaufort, who entertained themselves with a version of the children's game known as battledore and shuttlecock. The game they derived for themselves soon became known for the house in which they played it, the duke's Badminton House in Gloustershire, England.
Before long, badminton societies and clubs were sprouting throughout England. In 1893 the first Badminton Association was formed. Six years later the All-England Badminton Championship was played. Eventually, the sport migrated to continental Europe. From there it reached India via British military officers and Indonesia by way of Dutch colonists. The far-flung expansion necessitated the formation of the International Badminton Federation (IBF) in 1934.
Badminton took root in many countries, including Australia, China, Denmark, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, and the United States. But nowhere did it catch on as it did in Indonesia, which ultimately became a global badminton superpower. In 1992, badminton's inaugural year as an official Olympic sport, Indonesians brought home the country's first gold medals.
Indonesia's tropical climate permits year-round outdoor play. The sport's low equipment cost makes it affordable to almost anyone. Two rackets, a shuttlecock, a long piece of string, and an empty piece of ground are all that is needed. Courts are often placed next to houses or apartment buildings because the structures serve as windbreaks. Fences covered with sheets of canvas also do the trick. In the absence of windbreaks, courts are oriented with prevailing winds blowing parallel to the court, not perpendicular.
Indonesian dominance of the sport began in the 1950s. In 1957 Indonesia competed in its first Thomas Cup, an international tournament named for IBF cofounder Sir George Thomas, a renowned badminton, tennis, and chess champion. Indonesia's stunning victory earned the country immediate entrance into the IBF.
Indonesia went on to win the triennial competition seven times in nine attempts from 1961 to 1984. The country also made its mark in other international tournaments, including the World Championship, the World Grand Prix, and the World Cup. Indonesia's best player during this stretch was also regarded as the best player in the world—Rudy Kurniawan Hartono, winner of a record eight All-England titles from 1968 to 1976. Hartono's victory at the 1980 World Championships before a home-country crowd in Jakarta keyed a dominant performance by the Indonesians, who won four of five events.
Starring on Indonesia's talent-rich delegation to the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain, was Susi Susanti, winner of the World Junior Championships in 1990, 1991, and 1992 (and ultimately 1993 and 1994). Susanti won the women's singles competition, becoming the first Indonesian athlete to earn an Olympic gold medal since the country gained its independence 43 years earlier. “It was something very precious for Indonesia,” she remarked later, according to Sports Illustrated. Meanwhile, the Indonesian men produced a medal sweep in the singles competition, with Allan Kusuma capturing the gold, Ardy Wiranata the silver, and Hermawan Susanto the bronze. Indonesia also earned the silver and bronze in the men's doubles.
The badminton team returned home as heroes. Their achievements had the effect of piling additional pressure onto the squad heading for the 1996 games in Atlanta, Georgia. “Because we won two gold medals in '92, the government wants some more in Atlanta,” Kusuma told Sports Illustrated a few weeks before the Atlanta competition. “Well, it is easy to say but not so easy to do.”
Kusuma and the national team's 80-odd other members lived at a cramped training center on the outskirts of Jakarta where, according to Sports Illustrated, words of inspiration were painted on a wall: “Badminton is my soul. Sportsmanship is my breath. Red and white [the national colors] is the symbol of my fate.” The players were also motivated by material incentives. Their gold-medal efforts earned Kusuma and Susanti each a $200,000 bonus—about 200 times the country's annual per capita income. The stars also reaped handsome incomes by promoting cars, shampoo, and other consumer products.
All the words and money, however, didn't help Indonesia improve on its Olympic medal count in Atlanta. The only gold medal was brought home by the men's doubles duo of Rexy Mainaky and Ricky Subagja, the reigning world champions. The two narrowly defeated a Malaysian pair who ignored a fortune-teller's advice to take green bananas onto the court. After the victory Mainaky sobbed as the Indonesian faithful among the crowd sang and waved flags. “I thank God for giving us the power to win this game,” he told the ESPNET Sportszone Web site afterwards.
Despite their performance at the 1996 Olympics, Indonesians have maintained their first-class rank in the sport. As for badminton in general, the future looks bright.

“GOD CREATE BADNESS “

“GOD CREATE BADNESS “

I like this articles and I want sharing to others.. I think everybody can agree with this opinion.
Just read and find interesting meaning content.

Do God create all is existing?
Is that badness there is ?
Do God create badness?

A Professor from a famous university challenge all student with this question
" Do God create all is existing?"
A student bravely answer " Right, God who create altogether"
" God create altogether?" Ask professor again.
" Yes, Mr., altogether" student say. That professor reply " If God create anything, meaning God create badness. Because that badness there is, and according to our principle that our work explain the who we are, become we can assume that God is badness.

That student are quiet and cannot abjection the hypothesis of professor. That professor feel winner and he have proved that religion is a myth. Other student hands up and say, " Professor, May I enquire something. " Of course,"
That Student stand up and enquire, " Professor, do chilled that there is?
" What question like kinds of that? of course chilled that there is. You have never feel ill of influenza?" Ask the professor accompanied by other student laugh.

That student answer, " In reality, chilled nor there is. According to physics law, what we assume to be chilled by that is the no heat. Temperature - 460F is the no heat at all. And all particles become to be kept quiet and cannot react at the temperature. We create cool word for explained no heat.
That student continue, " Professor, what that dark there is?
That professor answer, " Of course that there is.
That student answer, " Wrong answer , Dark that nor there is. Dark is situation where there no light. Light we can study, dark is not.

We can use Newton prism to solve light become some colors and study various wavelength each colors. But you cannot measure darkly. Dark how a room measured with how many light intensity in room. Dark word cerate human being for explained of no light.

Finally that student enquire, " Professor, is that badness there is ?
With hesitated that professor answer, " Of course, such as those which I have tell previously. We see every day in]Newspaper and of TV. Many case of hardness and criminal among human being. The cases is manifests of badness.

To this statement of that the student say, " wrong answer again, badness there is no. Badness is the no God. Like chilled or is dark, badness is word created by human being for explained of is no God. God do not create badness. Badness is result of from God inexistence of human being heart. Like chilled by arising out from no heat and is dark of arising out from no light.

Professor is kept quiet and cannot expostulate clarification of mentioned student.
You might not realize him (the student). Name of this student enough familiar in your ear.
Name of that student is ... Albert Einstein

FORECASTING THE WEATHER



In my country Indonesia, its weather condition very difficult to prediction, every day sometime rain, sometime heat. The weather like this make body becoming not stabilize and this make our body of pain. It is not easy to forecast the weather. Meteorologists—scientists who study weather—use many kinds of tools. They study the kinds of clouds that form in the sky. They measure how fast winds are blowing. They send up weather balloons to measure temperature and humidity (moisture in the air) up high. They use satellites to take pictures of clouds and storms swirling around Earth.
All of this information goes into computers. Computer programs tell weather forecasters what might happen. You listen to your radio or television weather forecast to learn whether you should carry an umbrella or wear a jacket.
Sometimes the weather forecast is right and sometimes it is wrong. Meteorologists are always looking for better ways to predict the weather.

CODES AND CODEBOOKS


Secret codes keep messages private. Codes are very useful for sending secret military information during wartime. Banks, companies, and government agencies also use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. Code breaking never lags far behind code making.
The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography (pronounced krip-TOG-ruh-fee). The word means “hidden writing.”
There are three main types of hidden writing. They are concealed messages, ciphers, and codes. However, all three are commonly called codes.
You can conceal (hide) a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels,” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
Concealed messages, like this one, are easy to break. Once the secret is out, anyone can read them.
Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Although we call this a code, experts call it a cipher.
Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” This is called a substitution cipher.
In a transposition cipher, the letters in a message are rearranged in some way. We could, for example, reverse each pair of letters in “Meet me.” Then our message would read “Emte em.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. However, to work out the cipher above, you don’t need a code book. All you need to know is the system used for substitution or rearrangement.
With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. For example, “bridge” might stand for meet and “out” might stand for me. The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”
It is very hard to break a code without the code book. However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
Ciphers are easy to use and remember. A simple cipher, however, is also easy to break. In any language, some letters are used more than others. In English, e is the most common letter, followed by t and a. Some letters frequently occur together, such as th and ch. By studying several messages, a code breaker can easily figure out a simple cipher.
Complex ciphers use a different cipher, or code, for each letter in a message. The letters in a keyword reveal which cipher is used for each letter. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. Codes can be almost unbreakable if they use combinations of ciphers and change the keyword often.
During World War II (1939-1945), math experts in Britain broke the German military code. Britain was at war with Germany. German military forces coded messages with a device called an Enigma machine. Enigma used gears and wheels to create millions of different ciphers. But British mathematicians and code breakers figured out the cipher and uncovered German military plans.

Pedicab




Can you imagine if only, world not have transportations. Which all activity will be pursued. Aeroplane, boat, car, motor, bicycle even which is movement by animal even also there is still now. So also with pedicab. This vehicle have 3 wheel for the powering of it and unique of it not wear machine but still similar to principle work bicycle that is with pedal with human being foot energy as source of its machine. This vehicle still become vehicle of favorite in Indonesia, especially womans. This vehicle in fact good for depended where place operate it, but will progressively bother once and make to stuck when this vehicle reside in protocol road. But me still take a fancy to this vehicle, sometime also I use for certain which oblige using it. :)
Look the picture try to see in picture, that's transportation form which still used in Indonesia.
