Tak terasa sudah tujuh tahun  kutinggalkan engkau. Entah bagaimana rupa mu kini. Kudengar engkau makin  cantik dan modis. Tugas belajar ke negeri Paman Sam memaksaku terpisah  dari mu. Pagi ini pesawatku mendarat di Bandara Internasional Sultan  Hasanuddin &lt;strong&gt;Makassar&lt;/strong&gt;, setelah menempuh perjalanan lama dan melelahkan dari New York. &lt;br /&gt;
Hawa khas kampung halamanku mengalir sejuk memenuhi rongga dadaku.  Bandara Internasional Sultan Hasanuddin sangat berbeda dengan tujuh  tahun lalu. Sekarang bandara ini sudah secangih bandara Changi,  Singapore. Garbarata dari pesawat ke tempat kedatangan, sehingga tidak  perlu naik turun tangga dari pesawat ke tempat kedatangan. Segera aku  menuju tempat pengambilan bagasi. Oleh-oleh untuk keluarga ada di  bagasi, kwalat kalau barang itu tidak ada. Syukurlah bagasi ku dapat  cepat kudapatkan. Pemandangan yang masih sama dengan bandara lama adalah  banyaknya sopir yang berebut penumpang di luar pintu keluar, menawarkan  jasa mereka. Namun saya lebih memilih jasa Taxi bandara yang tersedia  di dalam bandara. Kemungkinan macet di jalanan tidak kualami karena  sopir taxi memilih jalaur bandara – kota lewat jalan Tol. Lumayan cepat,  butuh 45 menit untuk sampai di daerah Malengkeri.&lt;br /&gt;
Sore harinya aku menuju tempatmu, kerinduan ini ingin segera  kutuntaskan. Sengaja ku pilih waktu senja karena penampilan tercatikmu  di saat matahari terbenam. Senja di Pantai Losari, telah tujuh tahun ku  nantikan. Menikmati matahari terbenam ditemani sepiring Pisang epe’ dan  es teler. Kuliner yang tak mungkin kutemukan di Amerika. Indahnya Sunset  di pantai losari punya kecantikan tersendiri yang tak dapat ditemukan  di tempat lain. Teman-temanku ingin sekali berkunjung ke&lt;em&gt; Makassar&lt;/em&gt;  untuk melihat keindahanmu, setelah mendengar ceritaku mengenai sunset  di pantai losari. Hanya mereka terkendala karena belum menemukan travel  yang menawarkan paket Makassar.&amp;nbsp; Saya sarankan mereka untuk bacpaper  aja, agar hemat.&lt;br /&gt;
Kuceritakan kepada mereka banyak obyek  wisata yang bisa dilihat di Makassar. Wisata sejarah mengunjunggi  museum, benteng dan makam kuno. Benteng Ujung Pandang yang merupakan  bekas benteng VOC pada masa penjajahan Belanda. Bentuknya menyerupai  penyu sehingga sering juga di sebut benteng Panyaua. Di benteng inilah  Pangeran Diponogoro diasingkan hingga wafat dan dikuburkan di daerah  yang sekarang dikenal dengan nama Jalan Diponogoro. Sayangnya pemerintah  daerah kurang memperhatikan potensi wisata sejarah ini. Misalnya dengan  memasang papan yang menceritakan kisah Pangerang Diponogoro selama di  asingkan di Makassar. Atau mencetak brosur yang berkaitan dengan kisah  tersebut sebagai bagian dari promosi wisata. Potensi wisatawan lokal  mengunjunggi Makassar cukup besar, karena selain sebagai pintu gerbang  Indonesia Timur juga sebagai kota Konvensi yang rutin menyelenggarakan  konvensi setiap tahunnya. Wisata sejarah lainnya adalah Benteng Somba  Opu, Balla Lompoa di Gowa, Makam Syech Yusuf, Mesjid Tua Katangka, dan  Museum di Jalan Balai Kota Makassar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Wisata pantai bisa dilakukan di pantai  losari, Pantai Akarena, Pantai Tanjung Bunga dan beberapa pulau di  sekitar Makassar. Pagi hari minggu Pantai Losari di tutup sementara  untuk kendaraan bermotor, karena digunakan untuk acara senam masal.  Nyaman juga menikmati suasana pagi tampa kendaraan bermotor. Habis senam  kita dapat menganjal perut dari penjaja makanan yang banyak mangkal di  sekitar Pantai Losari. Bubur Ayam adalah makanan yang paling kucari.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Yang paling ingin kucicipi adalah wisata  kulinernya. Pisang epe’, es Teler, es Pisang ijo, Pallu Butung,  Jalangkote, Saraba, Nyuk Nyang, Mie Kering, Coto Makassar, Sop Saudara,  Konro, dan yang paling aku suka adalah Ikan bakarnya. Karena Ikannya  masih segar-segar, ditambah sambal khas yang sangat enak. Kepulangan  kali ini akan kugunakan untuk berburu kuliner di Makassar. Menebus  kehilangan selama tujuh tahun. Tak terasa matahari telah terbenam  sempurna. Siluet sunset Pantai Losari tak ada duanya di dunia. Tiba-tiba  aku di kagetkan oleh bunyi dari perutku. Ternyata Perut ini pun  menuntut diisi. Apa yang baik ya? Begitu banyak pilihan dari rumah makan  dan cafe yang ada di sekitar Pantai Losari. Kupilih salah satu rumah  makan yang menyajikan menu&amp;nbsp; ikan bakar. Ini dia yang kucari-cari. Segera  kupesan Ikan Baronang Bakar Rica-Rica, Udang Saus Lada Hitam, dan sayur  santan.&amp;nbsp; Kesegaran Ikan dan Udangnya ditambah bumbunya yang khas  Makassar membuat aku menjadi lahap. Hal demikian tak dapat kutemui di  Amerika. Di sana Ikan sudah tidak segar lagi. Jarang di jumpai ikan  seperti yang di Makassar. Rata-rata berupa fillet. Apalagi mau cari  sayur santan, mustahil, kecuali berkunjung ke rumah orang Indonesia.  Terpuaskan juga dahagaku selama tujuh tahun ini.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Melihat potensi wisata pantai di&lt;em&gt; Makassar&lt;/em&gt;  saya jadi terinspirasi untuk menggarapnya. Di Amerika potensi wisata  pantai dan laut sudah tergarap dengan baik. Jika kita ke pantai akan  kita jumpai orang berjemur, bersepatu roda, skate board, voley pantai,  dan beragam olah raga pantai lainnya. Mengapa kita tidak melakukannya  juga di Makassar. Daerah Tanjung Bayam mempunyai potensi untuk digarap  seperti itu. Memang diperlukan kepedulian pemerintah untuk menata ulang  sarana dan prasarana yang ada. Keterlibatan masyarakat diarahkan dengan  membentuk zone untuk villa, zone olah raga pantai, dan zone fasilitas  umum. Saya sendiri ingin mempunyai sebuah yacth dengan dasar transparant  untuk melihat keindahan terumbu karang. Di atas yacth tersedia  fasilitas olah raga selam yang lengkap. Tak sabar rasanya untuk  mewujudkan mimpi ini.&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.agussalimmacan.com/senja-di-pantai-losari.html&quot;&gt;http://www.agussalimmacan.com/senja-di-pantai-losari.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://wusensei-makassar.blogspot.com/2012/04/senja-di-pantai-losari.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wusensei)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739445463578457183.post-3298518874768968418</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Nov 2011 04:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-22T20:04:54.467-08:00</atom:updated><title>Bahan Untuk Renovasi Rumah</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;

Kemudahan membuat bambu banyak digunakan sebagai&amp;nbsp; bahan pagar. keunikan seratnya dan kekuatannya juga menjadi kelebihan bambu di banding bahan pagar lainnya.&lt;br /&gt;
Pagar bambu dapat dibuat dari Belahan bambu, bambu utuh, atau bambu yang dipotong persegi. Bahkan ada pula yang memanfaatkan jejeran pohon bambu sebagai pagar hidup. Tentunya dengan penataan seartistik mungkin.&lt;br /&gt;
Pagar pohon Bambu merupakan pilihan yang tepat jika ingin menyejukkan rumah. Pohon bambu juga berumur lama sehingga selama beberapa tahun tak perlu mengganti pagar, yang diperlukan adalah menjaga kesuburan tanah tempat tumbuhnya..&lt;br /&gt;
Pagar bambu dari belahan 3/8&quot; yang diberi polesan pernish akan tahan lebih lama dari bahan kayu. &lt;br /&gt;
masih banyak bentuk pagar bambu yang saya bahas di http: //industrystandarddesign.com&lt;br /&gt;

Oh Makassarku</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Makassar ku, Oh Makassar ku. Kemacetan mewarnai keseharian di kota Makassar. Di pagi hari jalanan penuh sesak dengan kendaraan yang berebut, berkebutan, menuju tempat mencari nafkah. Di sore hari kejadian yang sama terjadi lagi, kali ini orang-orang berebut lebih cepat sampai ke rumah masing-masing.&lt;br /&gt;
Lihatlah kondisi lalu lintas pagi hari di Jl. Slt Allauddin, mulai dari lampu merah perbatasan gowa hingga pertigaan Jl. Pettarani. Terutama di hari senin pagi. semua jenis kendaraan berebut tempat di jalan yang dulunya tergolong lapang. sekarang sesak oleh beragam kendaraan. Mayoritas oleh kendaraan roda dua, sepeda motor berbagai merk dan kondisi. Urutan ke dua oleh Kendaraan roda empat. Mulai dari mobil pribadi hingga truk penganggkut bahan bagunan. penuh sesak dijalan yang berpotensi 6 lajur.&lt;br /&gt;
Sebagai orang yang tumbuh besar di kota tercinta Makassar, saya masih ingat di era tahun 2000 jalan ini masih begitu lenggang. Belum sepadat saat ini. Namun seiring perkembangan kota jalan ini menjadi padat. baik karena pertambahan kepemilikan kendaraan bermotor, juga karena banyaknya pusat perbelanjaan dan kantor di sepanjang jalan ini. Entah bagaiman perkembangannya lima tahun kedepan?&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://wusensei-makassar.blogspot.com/2011/09/makassar-ku-oh-makassarku.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wusensei)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739445463578457183.post-7986514017237251705</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Mar 2011 06:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-10T22:33:20.903-08:00</atom:updated><title>The West Wing (Season 4) DVD Review</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;The recipient of widespread critical acclaim for its somewhat accurate portrayal of White House working conditions, The West Wing premiered in Fall 1999 to much fanfare and media attention.&lt;br /&gt;
Seasoned acting veteran Martin Sheen plays the lead role of President Bartlett to such perfection that it&#39;s reported that some believe he&#39;s the actual president. Sheen&#39;s performance is indicative of the superb casting job pulled off by The West Wing creators. Filling with regular doses of action, suspense, and drama, The West Wing is one of the best drama series on TV…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The West Wing (Season 4) DVD offers a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere &quot;20 Hours in America: Part 1&quot; in which a number of events take place - Toby, Josh, and Donna get left behind on a campaign stop in Indiana (spending the rest of their day trying to get back to Washington), Bartlet searches for Mrs. Landingham&#39;s replacement, and the Dow Jones index plummets. Meanwhile, an opposition campaign stirs up the media when Bartlet&#39;s wife claims she&#39;s &quot;just a wife and mother&quot;… Other notable episodes from Season 4 include &quot;Election Night&quot; in which the staffers eagerly await the results of the presidential contest (each in his own unique way), and &quot;The Long Goodbye&quot; in which C.J. returns to her hometown of Dayton where she attends her high school reunion and struggles with the horrid effects of her father&#39;s Alzheimer&#39;s disease…&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h1 style=&quot;color: #04a0b3; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #666666; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Gordon Brown, speaking recently in Scotland, said that there should be a national debate on raising the state pension age, and David Blunkett, Work and Pensions secretary, told the BBC News that a rise in the state pension age should be considered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pension Commission has already suggested that a mixture of higher&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S8&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;taxes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;, larger savings and a higher&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S0&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;retirement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;&amp;nbsp;age could go some way to making sure that people will not be&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S7&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;living&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;&amp;nbsp;in poverty in their old age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently the &#39;problem&#39; is that people are living longer, and the pension&#39;s commission declares that more than 12 million people are not saving enough towards retirement. Since the government, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S3&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;life insurance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;&amp;nbsp;firms, didn&#39;t anticipate pensioners living so long, now they are saying that, in order to be able to afford to pay out on their pensions, they will have to work to at least the age of 70.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At first sight this all looks rather bleak, but it&#39;s not all bad news, because people who work longer, particularly in a job they enjoy, actually live longer. Many people think that if they retire early they will live longer, but researchers have disproved this theory. In fact, those who stop working at 55 have nearly double the death rate of those who continue to work until they reach at least 65!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Baroness Greengross, chief executive of the International Longevity Centre UK, has said Work is a huge part of this equation, and provides mental and physical activity, self-esteem, social interaction and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S6&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;income&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;&amp;nbsp;for many of us is vital for older people&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S5&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;to stay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;&amp;nbsp;mentally and physically activeSo maybe we are all going to have to work for longer, and yet no one wants to be stuck in a job they hate for even more years than they had already anticipated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #666666;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Luckily there are some happy alternatives. There&#39;s been quite an increase recently in people&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S2&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;wanting to&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;&amp;nbsp;set up an e-commerce business with a view to building it up now, so that it will bring an income during their &#39;retirement&#39; years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Usually customers have been planning on setting up an online shop to sell products or services&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S9&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;connected&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;&amp;nbsp;with their interests or hobbies. They&#39;re doing this with the intention of using the internet to&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S4&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;make money&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;&amp;nbsp;for themselves, and their families, in an enjoyable way, and setting up something they will be able to continue with well into their old age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These days it is not nearly as expensive or difficult to set up an e-commerce website as it used to be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span9476326&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y9476326S1&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Getting a&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span9476326&gt;site that would let you sell your products or service online can be done quite quickly, and with the minimum of fuss, if you approach a company who has experience in setting up ecommerce websites. You do really need to seek professional help and advice with this though, as it&#39;s not something a novice can do successfully by themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
Making your later years &#39;golden&#39; could be as simple as expanding your hobby and getting set up to sell related products or services online. With an uncertain future ahead, the security of a little extra income is sure to be very welcome indeed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://wusensei-makassar.blogspot.com/2011/01/building-golden-nest-egg-for-your.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wusensei)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739445463578457183.post-2692578979868403632</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jan 2011 04:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-01-17T20:55:31.515-08:00</atom:updated><title>Nutrition: Is Organic Worth It?</title><description>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;When you head to the grocery store, shopping for products like eggs, meat, fish, milk, and produce can be very tricky. Signs are posted everywhere labeling food as natural, organic, and a number of other things-but what&#39;s the difference, really? Learning what specific names mean can help you decide if you should shell out extra money on a product, whether the nutrition value is better or if it is simply a marketing ploy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Natural is a term associated with a number of fruit and vegetable product. Typically, this is simple a marketing ploy to convince you to buy the product. After all, all fruits and vegetables are natural, right? Unless it&#39;s a new kind of food that has been developed and processed, the product is natural. Probably what you&#39;re really looking for is organic. Organic foods are grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers. There are two main benefits to organic foods. Firstly, you are helping the environment as chemicals are not being introduced into nature. Secondly, you are avoiding ingesting chemicals and are therefore benefitting by using a healthier food. However, organic products are usually more expensive while nutrition is the same (I mean a good apple is a good apple). If you&#39;re on a budget, skip over organic fruits and vegetables that you can peel, like oranges and bananas. After all, once you&#39;ve discarded the peel, you&#39;ve also discarded the chemicals. Instead, opt for organic items like apples, where you eat the peel. No matter what you buy, however, make sure that you rinse off the food when you get homeAnother tricky label you will see is &quot;no hormones.&quot; This is usually in regards to milk or meat products and is false, since all animals naturally produce hormones. Hormones are what helps an animal (even a human) regulate body organs, have young, and otherwise function. All meat products have hormones. What the labels really mean is that no hormones were unnaturally given to the animal, which is sometimes done to increase milk production. Regardless of hormones, however, the milk and meat is safe for a person and not a violation of an animal&#39;s rights.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Lastly, a label on eggs and meat can indicate if the animal was caged or penned. This does not make a difference in the quality or nutritional value of the meat, but is simply a matter of animal rights. These products may be a bit more expensive, but if you want to make human decisions, that is the way to go. Reading the label and making healthy choices can sometimes be difficult, but learning how to do so can help you make the best choices for you diet.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://wusensei-makassar.blogspot.com/2011/01/nutrition-is-organic-worth-it.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wusensei)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739445463578457183.post-5155126114452195536</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jan 2011 04:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-01-17T20:53:40.184-08:00</atom:updated><title>Digital Video Recorders</title><description>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span6664302&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://serw.clicksor.com/newServing/go.php?nid=1&amp;amp;cpx=cpc&amp;amp;uid=204426314&amp;amp;pid=137709&amp;amp;sid=207085&amp;amp;spid=0&amp;amp;af=0&amp;amp;rf=2&amp;amp;kw=digital%2Bvideo%2Brecorders&amp;amp;curl=http%3A%2F%2Fmeta.7search.com%2Fclick%2Fclick.aspx%3Fx%3DtO%252fbfjbArQTqGGTW%252fx5ZAg%253d%253d_x5%252fBDjOymcl1Hb6G2oz9zmD8QcHpDaQUY4vMlZPcI9GKB5VCbw8V%252fguJoZg285snGAp0u1Z74vrL4ym7AhS4sTVXPpAGXzIznxEcoBnKmRKj6FI%252bb6PjRo3fDNqsbymATpGSOinsW7jr9Rop2akwOZjQGdBVMIgo1Bl1cOfw9zvUXC2z1tceIEOmUa1jysZ%252f&quot; id=&quot;Y6664302S0&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Digital video recorders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span6664302&gt;&amp;nbsp;(&lt;span6664302&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y6664302S2&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;DVR&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span6664302&gt;) are recording equipment that can record and store&amp;nbsp;&lt;span6664302&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y6664302S5&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;digital&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span6664302&gt;&amp;nbsp;video on a computer. These can record audio as well as video data from multiple sources.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A DVR is basically a&amp;nbsp;&lt;span6664302&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y6664302S3&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;hard drive&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span6664302&gt;&amp;nbsp;that can be connected to the computer and to other video sources such as a VCR. It has a tuner which captures the signal using a cable, antenna, or a satellite. The analog signals are compressed and converted into digital signals, which are then stored on the hard drive. A built-in MPEG-2 decoder converts the digital signal back into analog signal when it has to reach the television for viewing. Each DVR has an operating system within the hard drive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several advantages to digital&amp;nbsp;&lt;span6664302&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y6664302S1&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;video recorders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span6664302&gt;. They do not require a recording medium like tapes, as the data is stored on the DVR itself. Another main advantage is that the recording and playback can be done at the same time. Using this, even a live program on the TV can be paused, in the sense that the program can be recorded on the DVR and then viewed instead of the live program. However, the space within a DVR is limited, which is its main disadvantage. DVRs also have a live-TV buffer that keeps them in a constant recording mode for an hour or more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another interesting feature of DVRs is their search tool, which allows searching of a particular program by name of the program, name of the actors, or even by keywords. Some DVRs can be programmed to record some programs that have certain words in them. DVRs have recording capacities ranging from thirty hours to 320 hours. This also depends on the quality of the stored files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main categories of digital video recorders are TiVo, ReplayTV, and UltimateTV. Some of the top manufacturers of digital video recorders are&amp;nbsp;&lt;span6664302&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y6664302S7&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;LG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span6664302&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span6664302&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y6664302S8&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Panasonic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span6664302&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span6664302&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y6664302S6&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Philips&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span6664302&gt;, Pioneer, RCA,&lt;span6664302&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; id=&quot;Y6664302S9&quot; style=&quot;color: #2447ff; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Samsung&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span6664302&gt;, Sonic Blue, and Sony.

Penyebabnya adalah kemacetan yang mulai melanda di beberapa ruas jalan di kota Makassar. Bahkan ada yang mencetuskan ide untuk kendaraan berplat ganjil pada hari tertentu dan yang berpelat genap pada hari lainnya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7RNN2Tp8KKCcfGWEBdqRHOGDIA0R-o01mfq9lvCJN9rWSgxvFTvFxWxP_tsCs1fT6SYzNpFMkqoja73yBxWn_84kE9p2bFcZheepRdc4-VP8Q_hDZ0U96qzvf3Q5C5puq5M67ycX-wQ/s1600/DSCN0700.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7RNN2Tp8KKCcfGWEBdqRHOGDIA0R-o01mfq9lvCJN9rWSgxvFTvFxWxP_tsCs1fT6SYzNpFMkqoja73yBxWn_84kE9p2bFcZheepRdc4-VP8Q_hDZ0U96qzvf3Q5C5puq5M67ycX-wQ/s320/DSCN0700.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Secara awan terlihat peningkatan pesat jumlah kendaraan dan jenis kendaraan yang melewati ruas-ruas jalan di kota daeng. Peningkatan tersebut juga sebanding dengan meningkatnya jumlah hunian yang menghiasi kota. Daerah-daerah pinggiran yang dulunya dilirik sebelah mata, bahkan orang tidak mau ke sana karena dianggap tempat jin buang anak, sekarang telah berubah menjadi perumahan moderen. Belum adanya akses angkutan umum kedaerah perumahan baru itu mendorong penghuninya untuk memiliki kendaraan pribadi. Terkadang satu rumah bisa memiliki 2 atau 3 kendaraan, apakah itu roda dua atau roda empat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNWKIe1u90STSSmzgwJ65h4dBg0Jd2f8oyBEULKnQAnAj6BD24D6oW7bkUSV-0GKPcM6YmoEN6VtJEuH8GNtpiXS0LO0zXOOr3MMeEUf4TqUAJ3Hp9W2sSU_07lwWCZmyr3q71d1Ls6kI/s1600/DSCN0699.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNWKIe1u90STSSmzgwJ65h4dBg0Jd2f8oyBEULKnQAnAj6BD24D6oW7bkUSV-0GKPcM6YmoEN6VtJEuH8GNtpiXS0LO0zXOOr3MMeEUf4TqUAJ3Hp9W2sSU_07lwWCZmyr3q71d1Ls6kI/s320/DSCN0699.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Jika kita mau jujur, sebenarnya kota Makassar yang kita cintai belum mempunyai angkutan umum massal. Pete-pete yang jadi ciri khas kota daeng bukanlah angkutan umum massal. Kita memerlukan angkutan umum yang bisa memuat lebih banyak orang, lebih nyaman dan lebih manusiawi. Jika kita ingin menuju salah satu kota duni maka masalah transportasi dan infrastrukturnya merupakan pekerjaan rumah yang harus dituntaskan oleh Pemkot dan instansi terkait.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Dari kacamata awam saya, terlihat kepadatan hanya terjadi pada ruas jalan tertentu dan pada jam-jam tertentu pula. Seperti di jalan sultan alauddin, kepadatan terjadi pada pagi hari antara jam 7.00 s/d 8.15. sedangan sore hari pada jam 16.30 s/d 18.15. Kepadatan terjadi karena jalan sultan alauddin merupakan akses masuk dan keluar kendaraan dari kabupaten gowa ke Makassar dan sebaliknya. Sedangkan kabupaten gowa merupakan daerah perumahan karyawan yang bekerja di Makassar. Belum lagi sepanjang jalan sultan Alauddin adanya&amp;nbsp; terminal, dua supermarket besar,&amp;nbsp; dua Kampus, dua Bengkel Otomotif besar, yang mana menjadi point faktor kemacetan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Jumlah pete-pete yang sebanding dengan jumlah kendaraan bermotor roda dua dan roda empat menambah padatnya ruas jalan. Ini memang resiko dari perkembangan kota. Resiko yang sebenarnya bisa diperhitungkan jika master plan pengembangan kota sudah terancang dengan baik. Seperti pengadaan armada angkutan massal, rekayasa lalu lintas, dan peraturan lalu lintas yang tepat. Misalnya aturan jam melintas di jalur utama bagi mobil pengangkut bahan bangunan dan kontainer. Bukan melakukan diskriminasi tetapi untuk menguranggi kepadatan di jalur utama pada jam-jam padat. Seingat saya dahulu pernah ada peraturan yang melarang mobil angkutan barang melintas di jalan utama pada jam 7.00 – 9.00. Apakah aturan ini masih berlaku.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Pembukaan jalur-jalur alternatif untuk bisa memecah kepadatan kendaraan di jalur utama, juga merupakan alterntif yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Pengaturan jam kantor untuk instasi pemerintah dan swasta, Kerjasama dengan pihak Kampus untuk koordinasi jam masuk dan pulang mahasiswa. Jangan sampai jam masuk dan jam pulangnya bertepatan dengan jam padat, sehingga menimbulkan kerwanan untuk macet. Masih banyak alternatif lain yang lebih kreatif yang tentunya telah dipikirkan oleh para ahli di dinas perhubungan, kepolisian dan Pemkot. Masyarakat menunggu apakah ide-ide itu akan secepatnya dilaksanakan. Karena jika terlambat akan menimbulkan kesan pembiaran, yang bisa menimbulkan sak wasangka yang tak beralasan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Kearifan dan ketegasan para pemimpin kota tercinta ini ditunggu oleh masyarakat. Karena merekalah yang bisa mengatur kota ini. Masyarakat hanya bisa menjadi pemain dan penonton.

So what are the keys that will guarantee your video is a success? To achieve big video profits, I recommend the following:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;1. Great Script:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Take time to sit down and write a script for your video. You might be a great narrator, but you need to think of your video as your spoken sales letter or sales presentation. A great script with a killer intro makes a huge difference in whether your video converts into sales.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2. Interesting Hooks:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Make interesting promises and deliver on them, or have nice visual effects and/or music. Anything that can hold people’s attention is worth its weight in gold in these times of multitasking and short attention spans.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; Keep It Clean:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Make sure to remove the noise from your audio recordings and use image enhancing effects for your photos. You want clear sound and sharp contrasts. It doesn’t cost any money to do this, just a bit of time. It will really separate your video from the mass of videos out there and give you that professional edge.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;4. Easy to Read Text:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Make your text high-contrast, so it stands out against the background of your video. Big, black, bold text is a good rule of thumb, unless black won’t show up against your background.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;5. Reasonable File Size:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Resize your video to be between 500×300 and 800×600. Any less than that and the video is too small; more and it’s too big. When compressing your video, use the H.264 compression codec with the compression settings set to “best” to ensure a good file size.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;6. Promote Other Video Products:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;As obvious as this may sound, it’s best to use video to promote an offer that uses video on its sales page too. Having a nice video presell as an affiliate and sending people to a non-video offer can kill conversions. The feeling of continuity and flow is important.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;7. Always Be Testing:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This is true of any selling or promotional techniques, and it holds for video too. Don’t get complacent, and always fine tune your scripts and videos. You can always improve your conversion rate and make more profits.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://wusensei-makassar.blogspot.com/2010/06/7-keys-to-big-video-profits.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wusensei)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739445463578457183.post-7316151843140832975</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-06-30T23:25:08.329-07:00</atom:updated><title>World Cup Social Media Analytics – How We Did It</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;

mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;&quot;&gt;Bruno Aziza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, gave me a call on a Sunday night to discuss Extended Results partnering with Microsoft on the development of a World Cup Social Media Analytics web page.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Bruno chose us because we have technologies to capture the social conversation going on along with the advanced visualizations we do in Microsoft SilverLight.&amp;nbsp; I told Bruno, where do we sign up!&amp;nbsp;

font-size: 5.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;We started the project about 7 days ago with Microsoft using our Social Media Server solution to provide some insight into World Cup 2010.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Within just a couple days using our existing Social Media Server solution, we were able to capture over 800,000+ World Cup mentions in just 7 days!&amp;nbsp; Amazing…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;

font-size: 5.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;There are many social media software solutions on the market basically all competing for your marketing dollars.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We took a completely different approach to the space in that we believe all this information needs to be captured and stored within a companies enterprise database and tied to other ERP solutions (CRM, Financial, Marketing, Competitive, etc).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Having the information stored within a SQL database, we can create laser sharp focused results out of the social media data, whenever we want, and tie it to business performance objectives.&amp;nbsp; Powerful…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.4pt; margin-right: 4.4pt; margin-top: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666;

Tapi menjelang kenaikan TDL DPR masih mengadakan rapat dengan pemerintah yang tujuannya bukan membahas berapa kenaikan yang wajar tapi porsi mana yang kenaikannya rendah dan yang mana yang tinggi, karena pos subsidi untuk tahun anggaran 2010 telah disetujui oleh DPR pada pengesahan APBN 2010.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Kenaikan TDL adalah cermin kegagalan pemerintah menyediakan fasilitas listrik yang terjangkau. Kenaikan bukan hanya dipicu oleh bertambahnya pemakai listrik, tetapi juga inefesien dalam manajemen PLN sendiri. Audit BPK terhadap PLN menenggarai banyaknya kebocoran manajemen ditubuh PLN, seperti banyaknya tunggakan yang didominasi oleh industry dan instansi pemerintah. Tapi dampaknya justru ditanggung oleh rakyat.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Pertambahan konsumsi listrik sebenarnya sudah bisa diprediksi jauh-jauh hari oleh PLN dan Pemerintah. Namun tidak nampak upaya nyata untuk menanggulanginya. Setelah terjadi krisis listrik baru kalang kabut, saling tuding, dan segalanya. Inikan dagelan yang tidak lucu. Apakah kita tidak punya masterplan penyediaan tenaga listrik?. Karena perkembangan suatu Negara tidak statis dan selalu berkembang. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;PLN sendiri oleh pemerintah dipaksa menggunakan bahan bakar yang mahal, karena tidak ada jaminan pemerintah untuk pasokan bahan bakar yang lebih murah. Padahal banyak sumber energi terbarukan yang bisa dikembangkan. Seperti tenaga surya, angin, dan arus laut. Namun kebijakan kearah sana belum ada. Hanya beberapa pihak swasta yang mencoba melakukannya. Itupun dalam skala kecil. Sementara cadangan minyak bumi kita makin menipis. Batu bara dan gas alam yang bisa menjadi alternative bahan bakar bagi pembangkit listrik, belum serius digarap. Bahkan didaerah yang kaya akan batu bara, pembangkit listriknya menggunakan solar. Suatu ironi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;PLN sendiri perlu berbenah kedalam. Banyak kebocoran di dalam manajemen PLN sesuai audit BPK. Tunggakan listrik oleh instasi pemerintah cukup besar, dikarenakan mereka membayar jika anggaran telah turun. Biasanya pertriwulan. Belum lagi industri yang juga menunggak pembayaran listriknya. Sehingga mengganggu arus kas. Denda akan keterlambatan yang diharap membuat jera dan menambah kas, disinyalir tak masuk dalam pembukuan. Ataupun kalau tercatat sudah tidak sesuai dengan yang dilapangan. Umur sebagian besar pembangkit listrik yang telah masuk masa maintenance juga membutuhkan pasokan suku cadang perawatan yang lumayan besar. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Anehnya inefesinsi ini harus ditanggung rakyat. Padahal rakyat tidak hanya menangung beban kenaikan TDL, tapi juga kenaikan harga yang dipicu oleh kenaikan TDL. Para pelaku usaha akan membebankan kenaikan TDL kepada konsumen, yang tidak lain adalah masyarakat. Sementara pendapatan masyarakat tidak berubah. Kenaikan gaji bagi pegawai golongan menengah kebawah tidak dapat mengimbangi beban akibat kenaikan harga. Karena harga sudah mengalami beberapa kali kenaikan sementara gaji hanya sekali. Lalu dimana keberpihakan pemerintah terhadap rakyatnya?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Mengapa pemerintah tidak beinvestasi di pembangkit listrik yang terbarukan. Dimana energy untuk pembangkitnya lebih murah. Ataukah pemerintah lebih berpihak ke pengusaha? Semoga nurani pemerintah tetap berpihak ke rakyatnya.

Hal itu terbukti hari ini. Sore ini aku di mall menunggu istri. Berbekal roti isi dan sebotol air mineral untuk menganjal perut keroncongan, aku duduk santai di emperan mall, sambil mengamati suasana disekitarku.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Puluhan bahkan mungkin ratusan orang berseliweran di mall ini. Berbagai macam suku dan beragam model pakaian yang dikenakan. Padat terasa. Maklum hari sabtu. Hari inipun kebetulan ada acara yang diadakan salah satu produsen susu bayi. Makanya begitu banyak pengunjung hari ini. Terutama ibu-ibu yang membawa anaknya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Ditengah kemeriahan dan kepadatan pengunjung tersebut, Nampak seorang ibu yang membawa anaknya. Umur anaknya sekitar 4 tahunan. Gadis kecilnya didudukkan di atas kereta belanja. Ketika handphone sang ibu berbunyi, dan diangkatnya. Kereta belajaannya bergerak sendiri. Berjalan miring, lalu terjatuh. Tangis gadis kecil itu menyentakkan kerumunan orang. Aku melompat ingin menghampirinya. Tapi aku didahului sesosok anak muda, yang bergerak lincah. Ditariknya gadis kecil itu, lalu diserahkan ke ibunya. Lalu ia memunguti belajaan sang ibu dan menaruhnya kembali ke atas kereta belanjaan yang telah didirikannya. Kulihat sekelilingku, ternyata yang posisi nanggung seperti aku cukup banyak. Tapi kami kedahuluan oleh si pemuda. Ternyata Kepudilian itu masih ada.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Alangkah indahnya dunia ini jika rasa kepedulian terhadap sesama terpelihara.

Jika ingin membawanya sebagai buah tangan sebaiknya beli yang bentuk dampo durian, karena baunya tidak menyengat.

Angkot / Pete Pete&amp;nbsp; masih mendominasi sebagai angkutan massal. Bus massih bisa dihitung dengan jari. Sedangkan di Singapore angkutan massal banyak ragamnya.&amp;nbsp; Bus jumlahnya berlimpah dan jadwalnya tepat. Kereta api/ subway, angkutan jarak pendek, dan lainnya.&amp;nbsp; Lalu kita ingin menerapkan aturan yang berlaku di Negara Singapore, sementara pemkot sendiri belum menyelesaikan kewajibannya kepada masyarakat.

Tetapi saya bingung dengan apa yang telah terjadi. Aku menikmati keberadaanku di rahimmu. Walaupun gelap, tentu saja karena saya ada didalam rahimmu, ibu. Saya melihat bagaimana aku mendapatkan jari tangan dan kaki. Begitu senangnya berada di rahimmu, belum siap aku untuk meninggalkan duniaku ini. Kuhabiskan waktuku dengan berfikir dan tidur. Sejak awal kehadiranku, kurasakan ikatan batin yang begitu kuat denganmu, ibu.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Terkadang aku mendengar ibu menangis dan aku juga ikut menangis. Terkadang engkau membentak dan menjerit. Lalu kudengar Ayah balas membentak. Hatiku sangat&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;sedih, sehingga kuberharap ibu akan lebih baik keesokan harinya.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Aku begitu khawatir ketika engkau sering menangis. Suatu hari engkau menangis sepanjang hari. Apakah aku menyakitimu, bu? Sungguh! Tak bisa kubayangkan apa yang membuatmu begitu sedih.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Pada hari itu juga, sesuatu yang mengerikan terjadi. Seekor monster mendatangi tempatku yang hangat dan nyaman. Aku sangat takut, bu. Aku menjerit sekuat tenaga. Memanggilmu, bu. Tetapi ibu tak menolongku. Mungkin ibu tak pernah mendengarku. Monster itu makin mendekat, aku menjerit, “ ibu..Ibu, toloooong”. Teror itu begitu menakutkan dan menyakitkan. Aku terus menjerit meminta pertolonganmu, bu…hingga aku tak dapat berbuat apa-apa lagi. Monster itu menarik tanganku. Sakit sekali, bu.Sakit yang tak terperikan. Ia mencabik lenganku. Dan monster itu belum berhenti menyerangku. Ia kemudian mencabik kakiku. Kulihat tangan dan kakiku terpisah.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Aku merasakan kesakitan yang sangat, saya sekarat bu. Aku akan mati. Kusadari itu. Padahal aku belum sempat melihat mukamu, atau mendengar dari mulutmu betapa engkau mencintaiku. Keinginanku untuk menghapus air mata diwajahmu belum terwujud. Aku mempunyai banyak rencana untuk membahagaikanmu. Sekarang semua impian dan anganku musnah ditelan oleh rasa sakit dari terror yang kualami. Aku bisa merasakan terror itu telah menghentikan detik jantungku. Padahal keinginanku untuk menjadi putrimu sangat besar. Semua itu sirna oleh terror yang mengerikan. Dalam keadaan sekarat ini, aku tak bisa membayangkan apa yang dilakukan monster itu padamu. Ingin kuucapkan betapa aku mencintaimu sebelum ajal menjemputku, tapi aku tak tahu menggunakan bahasa apa yang bisa ibu mengerti.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Tak lama kemudian aku menghembuskan nafas terakhirku. Aku mati, bu. Kurasakan rohku meninggalkan jasadku, aku dijemput oleh malaikat ketempat yang luas dan sangat indah. Aku masih menangis, tapi rasa sakit telah hilang. Malaikat mengatarku ketempat yang sangat indah. Itu yang menghentikan tangisanku. Kutanya malaikat”monster apa yang menyerangku dan membunuhku?” Malaikat menjawab “Aborsi”. Saya tidak tahu bagaimana rupa monster abrosi itu. Surat ini kutulis karena aku sangat mencintaimu, bu. Betapa inginnya saya menjadi gadis kecilmu. Saya telah berusaha keras untuk bertahan hidup. Saya ingin hidup. Tetapi monster itu begitu kuat. Ia merengut tanganku. Lalu merengut kakiku. Kemudian tubuhku. Aku tercabik-cabik. Tak mungkin aku bertahan dengan tubuh yang tercabik. Aku telah berusaha, bu. Melawannya. Tapi tak mampu. Aku sangat ingin hidup bersamamu, bu. Berhati-hatilah bu terhadap monster Aborsi. Ia sangat kejam. Aku sangat mencintaimu, bu. Dan tak ingin ibu mengalami terror dari monster aborsi seperti yang kualami. Waspadalah bu. Ia masih ada di luar sana. Tak tahu siapa lagi yang diincarnya. Jaga dirimu, bu.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Salam Sayang&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He didn&#39;t let go until they had finished the first stretch of a 2 1/2-mile lung-burning training run, matching strides as they moved, connected, around the track.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most afternoons, Tommy and his teammates form these rare duets in the individual sport of distance running, Tommy occasionally serving as a motivator, his teammates always serving as the eyes Tommy lost by age 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 17-year-old junior and his teenage teammates collaborate on his running career with such ease that their teamwork, extraordinary as it is, becomes ordinary. Just like Tommy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The best thing about Tommy is he doesn&#39;t act like (he&#39;s blind),&quot; Glenwood South assistant track coach Chris H. said. &quot;He just does what everybody else does.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And maybe a little more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bilateral&amp;nbsp;retinoblastoma, a rare cancer of the eyes, claimed Tommy&#39;s first eye when he was 13 months old. Shortly after his second birthday, he lost his other eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Tommy recovered from his surgeries and was fitted with prosthetic eyes, his parents read everything they could and contacted various organizations for help, said his mother, Kristi Tommy. She then started going to park district classes with her son, who was willing to try everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The big goal was to make him independent. He&#39;s going to live as an adult?he just won&#39;t be able to see,&quot; Kristi T. said. &quot;Whenever he tries something new, there&#39;s an element of danger. We&#39;re cautious, but he&#39;s gotten to where he is today because we&#39;ve allowed him to do whatever activity he wants to.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tommy C. tells the following story with a palpable pride for how his parents raised him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was about 5 years old and standing at the base of an escalator at a mall with his mother, who was trying to verbally guide him on to the moving stairs. Afraid and unable to find the railing, Tommy threw a tantrum, attracting several onlookers who were appalled that his mother wouldn&#39;t physically help him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;My parents are probably my harshest critics, but in a good way,&quot; Tommy said. &quot;That&#39;s the story of how everything goes. They make me do it. There are no excuses. It increases resourcefulness.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tommy figured out the escalator, just as he figured out each activity on his ever-growing list of accomplishments. He has played the recorder, the piano and the guitar. He plays the drums in a band that has a steady lineup of gigs in the north suburbs and played at the Elbo Room in&amp;nbsp;Chicago&amp;nbsp;this winter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interested in the music industry and&amp;nbsp;broadcast journalism, he had his own radio show at Glenwood South and will attend a five-week journalism program at Northwestern this summer. He has a 4.6 GPA on a 4.0 scale and takes AP courses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has skied, done karate, completed triathlons, wrestled for Glenwood South and he became such an impressive skateboarder that he attracted the attention of legend&amp;nbsp;Tony Hawk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008, Hawk found Tommy through an online video and flew to Chicago to skate with and interview him for a video. Afterward, Hawk wrote about Tommy in his journal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The kid goes for it and is not afraid to fall. I was most impressed with his backside revert technique,&quot; Hawk wrote. &quot;As a ramp skater, backside reverts are one of the last things to learn because you are blind to the ramp when coming down. But then I realized that he&#39;s always blind to the ramp. It doesn&#39;t make it any less dangerous though, and I am amazed at his tenacity and easygoing approach to life.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The&amp;nbsp;American Printing House for the Blind&amp;nbsp;counts more than 58,000 legally blind students registered in the United States, the majority of which attend mainstream schools. More than 60 percent of those students do not participate in their&amp;nbsp;physical education classes&amp;nbsp;because they are not adapted, according toMark Lucas, executive director of the&amp;nbsp;United States Association of Blind Athletes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The organization did not have participation rates of blind athletes in mainstream&amp;nbsp;high school sports, but based on the physical education statistics, Lucas said the numbers are likely very low.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After completing three triathlons when he was younger, Tommy took up cross-country and track in sixth grade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In training, his teammates volunteer to be his guide, and Tommy is happy to run with whoever is up for the task. As Tommy holds his teammates&#39; elbows, they guide him along training and race courses, verbalizing the distances, obstacles and terrain, which is more difficult to navigate in cross-country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The main things we have to look out for are curbs because they trip him up, rocks and tree branches,&quot; said Dilan W., a junior who ran a 1,600 interval with Tommy at a recent practice. &quot;Sometimes we push him, and other times he pushes us. It builds a team relationship because we have to work together. There are a lot of benefits from it.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before races, the Glenwood South coaches inform meet officials because pacing by a noncompetitor and holding on to another runner are usually illegal. The coaches said they haven&#39;t had any problems with officials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;When he first got here, we thought, ?Oh, how are we going to do this?&#39;&quot;&amp;nbsp;Chris&amp;nbsp;said. &quot;What made it really great was his teammates are so willing to pitch in. They&#39;ll say, ?Hey, I&#39;ll take him for this run.&#39; We never had to assign it to anyone.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tommy has become fast enough that in races he uses multiple guide runners, usually teammates who already have run their events. The faster he becomes, the more he struggles balancing personal ambition with the needs of the teammates who help him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Sometimes it does get frustrating when it gets to a point where I&#39;m faster than some people and not quite up to another group,&quot; he said. &quot;I want to let people get their races in, but sometimes we have to find people who will sacrifice their races to help me. It&#39;s finding that balance between what&#39;s best for me and what&#39;s best for the team.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Running with Glenwood South&#39;s top four distance runners last week, Tommy chopped his 1,600&amp;nbsp;run time&amp;nbsp;to 5 minutes, 10 seconds?a 16-second personal record?in a meet at Glenwood North. He runs in about the middle of South&#39;s pack and hopes to break 5 minutes by the time he graduates. In an outdoor meet this week at Niles North, he ran the 800 in 2:21.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The running pairings draw their share of attention at meets, including one unknowing runner who scolded Tommy and his racing partner for an unfair advantage, until they related that Tommy was blind. &quot;And then we creamed him,&quot; Tommy said with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But for every uninformed comment, there are supporters letting Tommy know their admiration, including Chris&#39;s 11-year-old son, who usually asks about Tommy&#39;s races before inquiring about Glenwood South&#39;s defending state champion sprinter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;I definitely appreciate it. To motivate people is great,&quot; said Tommy, who also won a gold medal in the 1,500 and a silver medal in the 800 in his class at the IBSA (International Blind Sports Federation) World Youth and Student Championships last summer in&amp;nbsp;Colorado Springs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;There are a lot of people that aren&#39;t motivated these days. Everybody should try anything they have the opportunity to try. You should never count yourself out. If I can inspire people to go out and try new things and not be down on themselves, then I think I&#39;m really successful.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: solid #B3B3B3 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #B3B3B3 .5pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0cm 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;&quot;&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;border: none; line-height: 15.2pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #B3B3B3 .5pt; mso-outline-level: 2; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 5.0pt 0cm; padding: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;What are some of the things in your life that you have written off as impossible? Or as being too hard? As Tommy has shown us, these obstacles are only as large as we make them. Share this story with someone you think might need some inspiration in overcoming obstacles.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://wusensei-makassar.blogspot.com/2010/06/never-count-yourself-out.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wusensei)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739445463578457183.post-8245734506318727257</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jun 2010 01:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-06-01T18:29:30.314-07:00</atom:updated><title>Get Up</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 12.7pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Bringing a giraffe into the world is a tall order. A baby giraffe falls 10 feet from its mother&#39;s womb and usually lands on its back. Within seconds it rolls over and tucks its legs under its body. From this position it considers the world for the first time and shakes off the last vestiges of the birthing fluid from its eyes and ears. Then the mother giraffe rudely introduces its offspring to the reality of life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 12.7pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;In his book, &quot;A View from the Zoo&quot;, Gary Richmond describes how a newborn giraffe learns its first lesson.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 12.7pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The mother giraffe lowers her head long enough to take a quick look. Then she positions herself directly over her calf. She waits for about a minute, and then she does the most unreasonable thing. She swings her long, pendulous leg outward and kicks her baby, so that it is sent sprawling&amp;nbsp;head over heels.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 12.7pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;When it doesn&#39;t get up, the violent process is repeated over and over again. The struggle to rise is momentous. As the baby calf grows tired, the mother kicks it again to stimulate its efforts. Finally, the calf stands for the first time on its wobbly legs.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 12.7pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Then the mother giraffe does the most remarkable thing. She kicks it off its feet again. Why? She wants it to remember how it got up. In the wild, baby giraffes must be able to get up as quickly as possible to stay with the herd, where there is safety. Lions, hyenas, leopards, and wild&amp;nbsp;hunting dogs&amp;nbsp;all enjoy young giraffes, and they&#39;d get it too, if the mother didn&#39;t teach her calf to get up quickly and get with it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 12.7pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The late&amp;nbsp;Irving Stone&amp;nbsp;understood this.

He said, &quot;I write about people who sometime in their life have a vision or dream of something that should be accomplished and they go to work.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 12.7pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #505050; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;They are beaten over the head, knocked down, vilified, and for years they get nowhere.

Banyaknya kebijakan yang tidak populis dengan mengatasnamakan untuk kepentingan rakyat. Tapi rakyat yang mana? Yang bermobil? Tinggal di rumah/apartemen mewah? Ataukah mereka yang setiap hari harus bermain petak umpet dengan petugas pajak?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Seruan agar mengurangi konsumsi beras karena kebutuhan beras dapat menimbulkan inflasi. Kelihatannya seruan yang baik. Tapi merubah pola kebiasaan makan makanan berasal dari beras bukanlah hal mudah. Apalagi yang mengeluarkan seruan itu tidak mempraktekkannya dalam kesehariannya. Jadi bagaimana dia mengetahui hal itu dapat dilaksanakan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Seorang pemimpin yang baik, sebelum menerapkan suatu peraturan bagi rakyat yang dipimpinnya terlebih dahulu dia menerapkan di lingkungan keluarga dan lingkungan kerjanya. Sehingga peraturan yang dikeluarkan betul-betul telah teruji dan dapat dilaksanakan. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Kembali ke seruan mengurangi konsumsi beras untuk menekan laju inflasi dan ketergantungan pada beras. Marilah kita bercermin ke Negara-negara tetangga. Khususnya Negara Asean. Dahulu Vietnam mengirim petaninya untuk belajar ke Indonesia mengenai swasembada&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;beras. Saat ini kita yang membeli beras dari Vietnam. Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, dan Kamboja sekarang mampu mencukupi kebutuhan beras dalam negrinya. Padahal kita mempunyai luas Negara yang lebih besar, sumber daya manusia lebih besar, mengapa kita malah mendatangkan beras dari luar. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Kita mempunyai banyak sarjana dan ahli pertanian. Kemampuan mereka diakui oleh dunia. Tapi mengapa produksi beras kita tidak maju-maju. Apa yang salah dalam system pengembangan pertanian kita? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Menyangkut kebijakan penghapusan BBM bersubsidi. Kebijakan ini akan menaikkan inflasi. Karena penghapusan BBM bersubsidi berarti kenaikan harga BBM, yang akan berdampak domino kepada kenaikan harga Sembilan bahan pokok, tarif angkutan, dan onderdil kendaraan bermotor. Sementara upah dan gaji tidak mengalami kenaikan. Daya beli masyarakat akan menurun. Berarti yang terjadi pemiskinan masyarakat. Sementara golongan kaya semakin kaya. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Apakah kebijakan ini diputuskan oleh mereka yang juga menggunakan kendaraan bermotor pribadi, khususnya sepeda motor. Jangan sampai keputusan ini disarankan oleh mereka yang tidak mengalami lansung, tapi hanya melihat pada angka dan simulasi computer. Sehingga ketika diterapkan tidak bisa terlaksana. Disebabkan parameter simulasi hanya perkiraan computer bukan keadaan rill dilapangan. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Mengapa pemerintah tidak focus meningkatkan taraf hidup masyarakat dahulu daripada mengambil langkah-langkah instan yang mengorbankan masyarakat golongan menegah ke bawah. Ataukah kita sudah didikte oleh suatu kekuatan yang menyebabkan pemerintah harus mengorbankan rakyatnya?&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://wusensei-makassar.blogspot.com/2010/05/negeri-ini-memang-lucu.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wusensei)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739445463578457183.post-5468580731386067604</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 May 2010 15:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-28T08:44:54.759-07:00</atom:updated><title>ALANGKAH LUCUNYA NEGERI INI</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Jika anda pengemar film Indonesia, apalagi karya-karya dari Dedy Mizwar, maka judul diatas tidak asing lagi. Itu merupakan judul film terbaru Kang Dedy Mizwar. Ceritanya tentang sarjana yang kesulitan untuk mendapat pekerjaan. Kemudian bergabung dengan sekelompok pencopet, menjadi yang menangani keuangan. Kejelian melihat sisi lain dari kehidupan glamour kota dengan cerdas dan lucu di tampilkan dalam film ini.

Pemutar balikkan fakta, korupsi yang diresmikan, kebijakan yang tidak berpihak kepada rakyat kecil, penghamburan anggaran Negara, dan sejenisnya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Tadi pagi, sewaktu menonton berita di telivisi, saya cukup kaget dengan kebijakan pemerintah yang akan mencabut subsidi BBM bagi kendaraan roda dua, dengan alasan jumlah pemakai kendaraan roda dua yang cukup banyak. Sehingga banyak menggunakan BBM bersubsidi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Alasan yang cukup menyesatkan. Kenapa? Alasan jumlah kendaraan roda dua yang cukup banyak bukan alasan yang tepat. Apakah pemerintah tidak melihat alasan mengapa pengguna Sepeda motor membengkak pesat? Ini disebabkan oleh tingginya harga BBM yang berdampak kepada mahalnya ongkos angkutan umum. Karena kenaikan BBM menyebabkan kenaikan harga onderdil kendaraan umum, dan meningkatkan jumlah setoran sopir ke pemilik angkutan umum.Tingginya ongkos angkutan umum, menyebabkan masyrakat berpendapatan menegah kebawah memilih sepeda motor sebagai alternatif transport. Sebab kenaikan BBM juga berdampak kepada kenaikan berbagai jenis barang dan jasa. Misalnya bahan pokok yang naik. Uang sekolah naik, dan sejenisnya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Dengan memiliki sepeda motor sebagai alat transportasi keluarga. Masyarakat menegah ke bawah bisa berhemat, baik dari segi waktu maupun uang. Coba kita hitung. Jika seorang pegawai yang harus ketempat kerjanya dengan 2 (dua) kali menggunakan angkot, maka berapa biaya yang harus mereka sisihkan per bulannya. Belum lagi waktu yang mereka habiskan di atas angkot. Dengan menggunakan sepeda motor mereka cukup mengisi tangki sekitar 4 liter bensin, sudah bisa digunakan sekitar 2 atau 3 hari. Apakah alasan sederhana ini tidak ditelaah oleh para ahli yang memutuskan kebijakan itu? Ataukah para pemutus kebijakan tersebut adalah orang yang bergaji lumayan dan mendapat fasilitas mobil, sehingga tidak pernah merasakan kebutuhan masyarakat menegah ke bawah?&lt;b&gt; Alangkah lucunya negeri ini.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Apakah keputusan ini bukan karena dorongan pengusaha? Jumlah kendaraan sepeda motor cukup besar merupakan pangsa pasar yang mengiurkan dari segi keuntungan penjualan BBM Non Subsidi. Ini akan menguntungkan semua pengusaha yang terlibat dalam rantai pemasaran BBM Non Subsidi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Jika keputusan ini diberlakukan juga. Itu berarti masyarakat pengguna sepeda motor mensubsidi pengguna kendaraan roda empat. Atau dengan kata lain masyarakat golongan menegah ke bawah mensubsidi masyrakat kelas atas. &lt;b&gt;Alangkah lucunya Negeri Ini&lt;/b&gt;.(wusensei.28.05.2010)&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://wusensei-makassar.blogspot.com/2010/05/alangkah-lucunya-negeri-ini.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wusensei)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739445463578457183.post-5272272657867908957</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 May 2010 02:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-21T19:49:39.147-07:00</atom:updated><title>MAKASSAR TEMPO DOLOE</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;MAKASSAR TEMPO DOLOE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Pernakah anda membayangkan wajah kota Makassar Tempo Doloe?
