Or in the land of four seasons, the additional snow. It could even also from on-road (smooth asphalt) to off-road (soil or gravel) or vice versa. Tires with such capabilities is called "adaptive tire" or "intelligent tire".

Struggle for Education

Photos and Text: Kristianto Purnomo

The journey to the village Cicaringin, District of Mount Golden, Lebak, Banten just one step away. I drove the car that swept the village dirt road paved with stone, rise and fall twisting, and splitting the rubber plantation.

Rural atmosphere it feels when entering the village Cicaringin. Houses of woven bamboo-walled stage was a sight most of the houses. The village is located

about 50 kilometers from the center of arguably poor infrastructure attack.

Not only the main access road to the village was badly damaged and chipped asphalt, but it was nearly five months residents have difficulty climbing the steel wire suspension bridge that connects the village of Kampung Seberang Mustari and Ciliman Cicaringin to cross the river.

For the village children who generally sit still in elementary school, cross the bridge damaged by flash floods washed away not without fear. Without a life jacket and rope, and one by one child crawling across the steel rope stretched across the river 40 meters long. Step by step they move forward. Occasionally they stopped to look at balancing the thumb-sized steel rope strong sway.

Meanwhile, ten feet below them, Ciliman River water flowing. When Ciliman River flood, the intention of the kids go to school disappeared, they chose to not go to school.

"Kasian children, they must cross the river with a rope sling (steel wire), not to mention the flooding of the river they had no school because of the risk is great," said a community leader in Sunta Cicaringin.

The journey to school in elementary school Cicaringin 3 more severe for children their age. Early in the morning the boy-child bacah mostly rubber tappers and farmers' unions have been traveling up and away as far as six kilometers to go back to school. No wonder if the parents in this village began to put their children to primary school at the age of eight years because of physical considerations for a long journey.

For Ibandrio, Maimunah, Masitoh, Enah and about 10 others, a short walk to school has become a daily breakfast. Although already used to it, they claimed the trip was quite exhausting. To dispel the tired, jokes and laughter along the way they sounded.

After school, it does not mean free time of children to play. Most of the children in Cicaringin choose to collect river sand for sale to neighbors in need.

A bucket of sand priced at Rp 1,000, they often get Rp 8,000 - Rp 10,000 from the collecting sand. The reason they did nothing but make money just for snacks, but the way they earn money and live life to education is not as simple for kids their age.

6 Types Of Sports For Hot Girls

noreply@blogger.com (Buyer) — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 08:34:00 +0000

Indoor Volleyball Players
There has been some discussion among people we know about whether a sport can actually be called a sport if the participants wear makeup. For the sake of the awesomeness of this list, we’re going to let it fly.

Indoor volleyball is a sport that showcases the skills and talents of tall, powerful women. It also tends to showcase their anatomy in the tiny uniforms that have become de rigueur for the sport in recent times.

No wonder these teams have hoards of male followers more than willing to sacrifice their time to be “managers.” Fly around the country and hang out with a bunch of hot women? Yes please!

Ultimate Players

You might never have heard of Ultimate Frisbee before. If that’s the case, we’re sorry! You’re totally missing out on an awesome time – not to mention some awesome women.

First off, Ultimate is perhaps most popular in the sun-kissed state of California (although the popularity of the sport is growing all the time, look for hippies and college campuses) and other areas that are warm and sunny. So you’re drawing from a pool of women who are already fit, tan, and in love with the outdoors. Second, Ultimate, like surfing, is a great full-body workout. Which means that the women are rewarded with bodies that are well-proportioned for all of their dedication – no skewing of the size of certain attributes. Third, Ultimate isn’t just something for friends to play casually on the weekends; college and league tournaments are held across the country and the world, meaning that these women aren’t just athletic, they’re dedicated, too. And dedication to something you love is uber-sexy.

Soccer Players

Soccer has been around for a long time, and women have been playing soccer for a long time. However, just because soccer is the grand dame of sexy women sports doesn’t make it any less sexy.

Because soccer is so popular, women often start at a young age, and even if they move on to other sports on this list, they usually get their start with kicking around the ball. The longer a woman plays sports, the more toned and talented her body becomes. The whole start-and-stop motion of the gameplay is perfect for developing long, lean legs, high metabolism, and an overall sporty physique.

Surfers

Surfing is probably the original sport that made women playing sports sexy. And it’s just gotten better over time. The women have stepped up their game, and the bikinis have become ever more bikini-er.

The thing is, surfing isn’t easy. It’s not like just anyone can pick it up. Not only do you need excellent balance and coordination, but you need to maintain those things while trying not to die as huge walls of water crash down on your head and rocks and reefs roam around looking to crack your skull. So true surfer girls aren’t just hot and talented – they’re tough, too. Probably tougher than you.

Basketball Players

Basketball is another wildly popular women’s sport. It’s played from grade school through to college, and beyond that, professionally. So if you love the ladies who dribble and dunk, you’ve got plenty of opportunities to see them in action.

Despite the fact that women have played basketball for a long time, it’s still seen primarily as a male sport. And it’s a popular male sport. So a woman basketball player has to be strong-willed to succeed on and off the court, and not worry what people will think about her. That kind of confidence is a sure road to hotness.

Cheerleaders

We’re pretty sure that cheering didn’t used to be a sport. But now that there are almost as many injuries doing it as there are in football, and the cheerleaders wear skimpy bits of fabric instead of padding and helmets, we think that it counts.

Cheering is like dancing, only it involves jumps and flips and building human pyramids. The whole part about getting people excited for a team playing another sport is sometimes not even as important as watching these girls at work. So if you go to games mainly to see girls getting their sexy groove on, don’t feel like you’re alone.

World,s Most Expensive Call Girls Ever

noreply@blogger.com (Buyer) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 10:35:00 +0000

Hollywood madam admits supplying £30k-a-night prostitutes to celebrities.

They say she makes nineties Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss look like Mary Poppins.

Good reason then for film stars and politicians to be quaking in their boots following the arrest of Michelle Braun.
The mother-of-two has admitted running a vice ring supplying the most expensive call girls in the world to celebrities, business chiefs and well known public figures.

Michelle Braun, right, posing with Paris Hilton, employed more than 70 women including fashion models,

Hollywood actresses and Playboy centrefolds. There is no suggestion Miss Hilton has any connection with the allegations against Braun

Her stable of 70 women - said to include fashion models, Hollywood actresses, and Playboy centrefolds - were able to command up to £30,000 a night for sex.
For her part, Braun is said to have made more than £5million.
It was her boasts two years ago in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine that were Braun's downfall. Named as running the most expensive escort service, she told the magazine: 'All I do is make the introductions between famous girls and rich guys who want to meet them.'
Prosecutors in California, however, uncovered a sophisticated prostitution ring. Braun, 31, charged men £1,000 just to register with her website, before they would even get to see photos of available women.
The fees dwarfed those of Fleiss, whose girls made up to £7,000 a night.

Braun (right) with actor Terrence Howard , is estimated to have made more than £5m from running the prostitution ring. There is no suggestion Mr Howard or the unidentified woman (left) in this picture have any connection with the allegations against Braun

The FBI trapped Braun after she agreed to fly a girl from Los Angeles to New York to meet a client who was an undercover agent. They were able to arrest her for the federal offence of transporting a woman across state lines for sex. Her arrest sent a wave of panic across Hollywood as agents seized her computers and phone records.

How Massive Is GOOGLE? Amazing Facts

noreply@blogger.com (Buyer) — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 16:57:00 +0000

Google is certainly one of the largest technology companies in the world. But just how massive exactly it is?
Well, according to the infographic created by computers school, Google is seriously strong financially and is the undisputed champion when it comes to indexing information on the web. One interesting fact highlights that the amount of data stored in Google totals 1.2 zettabytes, which is equivalent to everyone in the world posting on Twitter non-stop for a century.

Massive Is GOOGLE?

Financially, Google is extremely efficient as it reported an all time high of $23.7 billion in revenue and $6.5 billion in net profit for 2009. That was a good 50% jump from its 2008’s net profit.
Google stretches itself wide to ensure people spend time on its site (YouTube, Orkut etc). That’s the Google revenue equation at work but its dominance is challenged by Microsoft and Facebook. Can Google maintain the steam? Or are the recent dismay results (Wave, Buzz, Phone) showing signs of a failing giant?

5 Most Scary And violent species of insects

noreply@blogger.com (Buyer) — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 18:55:00 +0000

Bombardier Beetles
Despite there being way more insects than any animal on the planet, most of them aren’t a reason to stay
awake at night. That’s because, when it comes to the order of things, bugs are pretty much at the bottom of the totem pole. However, many species seem to be playing by the maxim that when your predators include everyone else on the planet, you need to get busy pulling together an elaborate defense or get busy dying. Or, bar having some awesome defense mechanism, just be scary as balls.

Voodoo Wasps
Voodoo is religion commonly confused for a form of black magic practiced by fat girls the world over. Wasps are a violent species of insects commonly confused with a questionable rock band. When the two collide like a horrible train wreck, the results are as magical as they are deeply disturbing.
Voodoo wasps are called such because of their ability to turn caterpillars into what amounts to a zombie. This charming process begins when the wasp lays its eggs inside of the caterpillar, around eighty at a time. The caterpillar is perfectly fine until the eggs hatch into larvae stage, during which they feed off the caterpillar’s bodily fluids. Once fully grown they eat their way out of the caterpillar and spin cocoons nearby. And so goes the circle of life. Sunrise, sunset.

Army Ants
Much like the previous entries, army ants live up to their name. With colonies reaching well over one-million members, a single group of army ants are rivaled only by the KISS Army, and even then the odds are still in their favor. Their massive jaws are extremely painful, leaving two puncture wounds not unlike a vampire.Army ants also happen to be blind which, following the Daredevil theory of disabilities, serves only to make them more powerful and a huge box office drag. It may also explain their thorough dependency on teamwork. Their raids consist of columns made up of millions of ants, all of whom pick a single direction and walk until they find something. Then they proceed to tear that something apart because that’s just how they roll.

Assassin Bugs
Despite their name, assassin bugs aren’t notable for their ability to kill (though many of them will lay down the law should the need arise) but rather how they use the dead. Much like Ed Gein, assassin bugs make as much use of corpses as they can. Unlike Ed Gein, assassin bugs aren’t sexual deviants with murderous and cross-dressing tendencies.Some assassin bugs will cover themselves in the bodies of the dead and dying in an attempt to camouflage themselves from larger predators like spiders. By acting as a pile of dead and debris an assassin bug is able to avoid detection by bugs that rely on vision.

Tree Ant
If army ants can be considered the Rambos of the ant universe, then tree ants are the Predators. Their horrifying claim to fame is their ability to construct elaborate traps to ambush potential prey, such as locusts or Jesse “The Body” Ventura.After finding a host plant, the tree ants begin building foxholes out of its hair and then intentionally grow fungus to hold it together. Once complete, they wait for something to have the misfortune of stumbling into their parlor. And their dedication to the craft is admirable; they’ll wait for days if they have to. But it’s not about the hunt; it’s about loving what you do.

7 Most Beautiful Countries Of Central America

noreply@blogger.com (Buyer) — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 20:12:00 +0000

Belize

Beach lovers, adventurers as well as history lovers – they all head to Belize sandwiched between thick jungles and the Caribbean Sea. Wild animals, forests, palm-dotted shores as well as several Mayan sites lure many tourists to the country
every year. Caracol, for instance, is the largest known Mayan site in Belize and covers over 77 sq kilometers. Divers on the other hand come to explore the famous Great Blue Hole that is 145 m deep and 400 m wide.

Costa Rica

Adventurous souls desiring close encounters with nature should choose Costa Rica with its 26 national parks for their holiday. Local jungles, crater lakes, waterfalls as well as smoldering volcanoes have tempted many a traveler to this country called in English “Rich Coast”.

One of the popular attractions, which is best admired from distance, is Arenal Volcano – the youngest volcano in Costa Rica. After it erupted unexpectedly in 1968 it is one of the most active and threatening volcanoes in the world.

El Salvador

El Salvador is a country full of raw beauty, colonial ambiance, as well as fabulous art. One of the popular destinations is Perquin, a little town encompassed by green pine groves and coffee plantations. History enthusiasts can visit the local Museum of the Revolution, which tells the story of the country’s civil war era. El Salvador and especially El Sunzal is also quite attractive for surfers who are well aware of the fabulous beaches available. No wonder the country is gradually transforming into the surf capital of the world.

Guatemala

Numerous ancient Mayan sites as well as fabulous coast with top-level hotels – Guatemala offers both types of holidays. On the one hand, the country is absorbed in the pre-Columbian history, and on the other, it provides quality modern-day services to exacting tourists. History fans can explore the perfectly preserved colonial architecture and authentic flair in one of Guatemala's loveliest cities – Antigua. Its most famous landmark however is a majestic volcano – Volcan de Agua. Among the Mayan sites, Tikal is probably the best known. Visitors as well as locals agree that Tikal is one of the greatest urban achievements of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization.

Honduras

Honduras is a favorite destination not only for vacation makers who seek turquoise waters, ancient ruins, and untraversed jungles. The country’s folklore and art are also reasons to spend several days among the locals. Unbelievable artistic heritage can be found for instance in the ruins of Copan where enormous face sculptures are the major highlight. As one of the best preserved centers of Maya civilization the ruins are the key tourist attraction in Honduras.

Nicaragua

Swimming in a crater lake, climbing an active volcano and diving with sharks are only some of the options on offer in Nicaragua. Get ready for ‘erupting’ vacation and climb Volcan Concepcion. Although it has been frequently erupting since 1883 brave travelers of good stamina can climb up to the top and enjoy a view of the surrounding Lake Nicaragua. Cordillera de Maribios with its 21 volcanic cones, of which five remain active, is also popular among adventurers daring to discover the beauty of conquering an active volcano. Although the country offers only poor tourist infrastructure and is notoriously known for unstable political situation for some travelers Nicaragua is a perfect holiday pick.

Panama

Panama is the destination of choice only for the most adventurous globetrotters thanks to frequent guerrilla fights as well as rough rainforests and deadly animals. However, the country also boasts numerous friendly national parks, lush hills to trek and adorable islands. One of the Panama’s tourist magnets is the Archipielago de Bocas del Toro with its crystal clear waters, swaying palms and idyllic atmosphere. Coiba National Park on the other hand is a haven for explorers, bird watchers and divers. Its 38 islands have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site which speaks volumes of how amazing its forests and adjacent waters are.

10 Of World,s Greatest Mysteries

noreply@blogger.com (Buyer) — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 11:19:00 +0000

The Mayan Temple
According to the Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar, made famous by the ancient Mayan people, December 2012 marks the ending of the current baktun cycle. This little bit of information has many archeologists spooked. Some believe the Mayans were warning of a coming apocalypse, while others insist it’s simply a mathematical misconception.

Ancient Pyramids in Giza, Egypt

Khafre (l.) and Khufu (r.) are two of the three ancient Pyramids in Giza, Egypt. Khufu is the biggest, consisting of more than 2 million stones with some weighing 9 tons. The Pyramids, built as elaborate tombs for divine kings, date back to 2,550 BC.

Modern Egyptologists believe that the Pyramids are made from stones dragged from quarries and, despite ancient Greek testimony, were built predominantly by skilled craftsmen rather than slave labor.

Chupacabra
Phylis Canion holds the head of what she is calling a Chupacabra at her home in Cuero, Tex. The strange-looking animal, first reported in Puerto Rico in 1995, apparently has a taste for chicken and goat blood. Although many pictures like the above might prove its existence, biologists assure none such creature exists.

Easter Island
Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is remotely located 2,000 miles off the coast of Tahiti. The original settlers of the island were Polynesians who migrated to the far-off land between 400 and 600 BC. They built many shrines and statues, called moai, from stones quarried throughout the island including a volcano site. Researchers still question exactly how the large stones were moved

The Fountain of Youth
Don Juan Ponce de Leon completed Spain’s claim on America in 1509, and soon after was made governor of Puerto Rico. Six years later, following Indian rumors, he traveled north to the island of Bimini in search of the Fountain of Youth. Bimini turned out to be the peninsula of Florida, and the fountain remained hidden until July 2006, when famed magician David Copperfield claimed the waters on his $50 million Exumas Island (c.) had healing properties.

The Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle — located in the Atlantic between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico — is a thief, stealing planes and boats right out of existence. The area got its name after Sgt. Howell Thompson (l.), along with 27 Navy airmen, vanished from the devilish spot during a routine flight in 1945. Rumors persist on a supernatural explanation, but many specialists blame hurricanes, a heavy Gulf Stream and human error.

The Loch Ness Monster
According to Scottish folklore, a mystical creature called a water horse lures small children to a watery grave by tricking them to ride on its sticky back. The Loch Ness Monster became an English wonder in 1933, after witness accounts made newspaper headlines. No hard evidence of the creature has ever been recorded with several pictures, including the one above, being proven as hoaxes.

The mighty Incan Empire of South America
The mighty Incan Empire of South America flourished between 1200 and 1535 AD. They developed drainage systems and canals to expand their crops, and built stone cities atop steep mountains — such as Machu Picchu (above) — without ever inventing the wheel. Despite their vast achievements, the Incan Empire with its 40,000 manned army was no match for 180 Spanish conquistadors armed with advanced weapons and smallpox.

The Nazca Lines
The Nazca Lines cover more than 190 square miles in the southern deserts of Peru. The mysterious shapes etched into the land rival football fields and predate the Incan Empire. The ‘Las Manos’ figure (above) is 2,000 years old. Little is know about why the Nazca people constructed such vast pieces of sand art, some believe they are extraterrestrial in nature, while others claim they may have carried and pointed to sources of water.

The Stonehenge
The Stonehenge landscape of Salisbury Plain, England, has become a tourist hotspot. But before foreigners with windbreakers and cameras showed up, the area may have been a burial ground and ceremonial den dating back 5,000 years.
