&lt;b&gt;The Legend of Rawa Pening&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Contoh Narrative Text&lt;/b&gt; - Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village. He was very hungry and weak. He knocked at every door and asked for some food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little boy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, this old woman gave him a “lesung”, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “please remember, if there is a flood you must save yourself. Use this “lesung” as a boat”. The “lesung” was happy and thanked the old woman.The little boy continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out that stick. Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked the little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very easily. Everybody was dumbfounded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suddenly, from the hole left by stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village. And no one was saved from the water except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter and meal. As she told him, he used the “lesung” as a boat and picked up the old woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is now known as Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Explanation Text &lt;/b&gt;- If we talk about the Wonders of the World buildings, then we will see Eiffel Tower as one of them. However many of us do not know the tower’s past history on why it was build. Everything has the reasonable background, especially for the tower which is to be one of the most recognized buildings in the world.

Primarily, the Eiffel Tower was built for the World Exhibition. It was called Paris Exposition in 1889. The exhibition was organized to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The purpose of building Eiffel Tower in such structure was to show to the world France’s advancement of technology and beauty. The Eiffel Tower was designed by Gustave Eiffel. It seemed that then the name of the tower was derived from the designer’s last name, “Eiffel”

Another reason on why the tower was built was for scientific progress. Although few realized it, the Eiffel Tower would become the prominent structure in terms of science and technology. Many experiment with temperature, pressure and pendulums were performed atop the unique famous building. Additionally the Eiffel Tower was used for radio transmission tower. Many experiments were conducted atop the Eiffel Tower for radio transmission advancement. Once the Eiffel Tower was proposed to be demolished but it was spared because the tower had the promising future as a radio tower.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The king wanted to test Abu Nawas’ smartness. So he invited Abu Nawas to the palace. “You want me, your Majesty?” greeted Abu Nawas. “Yes, you have fooled me three times and that’s too much. I want you to leave the country. Otherwise you will have to go to jail” said the king. “If that is what you want, I will do what you said” said Abu Nawas sadly. Then “Remember, from tomorrow you may not step on the ground of this country anymore” the king said seriously. Then Abu nawas left the king palace sadly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The following morning the king ordered his two guards to go to Abu Nawas’ house. The guards were very surprised found Abu Nawas still in his house. He had not left the country yet. Instead leaving the country, Abu Nawas was swimming in small pool in front of his house. “Hey Abu Nawas, why haven’t you left this country yet? The king ordered you not to step on the ground of this country anymore, didn’t he?” said the guards. “Sure he did” answered Abu Nawas calmly. “But look at me! Do I step on the ground of this country? No, I do not step on the ground. I am swimming on the water” continued Abu Nawas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The guards were not able to argue with Abu Nawas so they left Abu Nawas’ house and went back to the palace. The guards reported what they had seen to the king. The king was curious on Abu Nawas’ excuse not to leave the country. Therefore the king ordered his guard to call Abu Nawas to come to the palace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Abu Nawas came to the palace on stilts. The king wondered and said “Abu, I will surely punish you because you haven’t done what I have said. You have not left this country”. The King continued “And now, look at you. You walk on stilts like a child. Are you crazy? The king pretended to be furious.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“I remember exactly what you said, Your Majesty” Abu Nawas answered calmly. “This morning I took a bath in the small pool in my house so that I had not to step on the ground. And since yesterday, I have been walking on this stilts. So you see, Your Majesty, I do not step on the ground of this country”. The king was not able to say anything.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It soon became clear to me that the amount of information available there was limited. There seems to be a mistake (and is a persistent one) that you leave investment performance by investing in SRI, when actually the opposite is true. Typically, companies whose corporate policies support equality, environment and sound management practices, perform better financially as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As soon as this truth is widely recognized, larger institutions will begin to allocate more time, money and energy to increase research and create more SRI SRI products.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A BRIEF HISTORY&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Socially responsible investing got its start in the 1700 mid / late in the slave trade as investors were encouraged to not take part in practice and was later associated with religious institutions who recommended investors avoid companies "sinful" that produced guns, the liquor or snuff.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the 1960 Socially responsible investing has evolved to take larger social concerns of women's equality, civil rights and equal work, and in 1970 added social issues and global environmental concerns, such as apartheid in South Africa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Since the 1990 SRI has increasingly embraced the wider arena of positive investments in the environment, social justice and corporate governance (commonly referred to as "ESG", although SRI will use the label because it is still the term most widely recognized at this writing).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;TRENDS&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;According to a recent study published by the Social Investment Forum, SRI continues to grow at a healthy pace. In the beginning of 2010, SRI benefits totaled more than $ 3 trillion, which was an increase of more than 380 percent of $ 639 billion in 1995, the date of the first report published by Social Investment Forum meets these statistics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Since 2005, SRI benefits have increased 34% while traditionally handled benefits have increased only 3%. And from 2007 to early 2010 (during the recession), the increase in professionally managed traditional benefits was less than 1% compared to a 13% increase in benefits of SRI. Today is about 1 in every $ 8 invested in some form of socially responsible investment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Social Investment Forum attributed most of this growth in customer demand and less legislation and regulation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;INVESTMENT STRATEGY&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are essentially three SRI investment strategies:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Research positive / negative:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The positive research involves actively seeking companies that do good. Allows an investor to select companies whose corporate practices are aligned with their values. For example, if an investor is concerned especially about protecting the environment, they might choose to invest in a solar energy company.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Many people think that investing in companies that promote social and environmental causes means you have to sacrifice performance but actually the opposite is true. Marc J. Lane, author of Profitable Socially Responsible Investing found that companies that bordered the highest for social and environmental issues actually performed better financially. In fact, according to Lane, the shares of those companies outperformed the Russell 3000 Index by over 2.5% over the course of eight year study conducted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Negative research is just what the company name suggests, eliminates corporate whose practices or products or services are not aligned with social good. For most SRI investors traditionally included this snuff, guns, alcohol, gambling and defense contractors. But it has also been expanded to include companies whose management has failed to promote equal employment, diversity or environmental or corporate responsibility.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sharholder Activism&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Shareholder activism involves trying to influence change in corporate policies or practices by speaking directly to management or filing shareholder resolutions are then voted on by shareholders of the company. When the idea of shareholder activism was first introduced, the number of resolutions filed by shareholders was less than 20 annually. From 2008 to 2010, the Social Investment Forum reports that over 200 institutions filed shareholder proposals and many of the proposals are adopted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The community invests&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Community Investing involves direct investment capital to underserved communities members deposit / loan neighborhood (also called collectively, "Financial Institutions Community Development" or "CDFIs"). These lenders provide access to credit, equity and capital that these individuals or businesses would not otherwise have access to whether to apply for loans from traditional commercial banks. The investing community can also be achieved by venture capital financing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Investing directly in a community, an investor is more likely to have a larger impact on social good. By buying shares of companies may or may not promote social good, the money invested in a CDFI or venture capital fund is put to work straight away and repair promote underserved communities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;SRI PRODUCTS: TRENDS&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The MUTUAL FUND COMPANY AND EXCHANGE-TRADE FUNDS ("ETFs")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are now more than 250 mutual funds that are specifically designed to align investments with certain social values. Some companies are mutual fund focused exclusively on SRI, such as Calvert, Domini, World Peace, Ariel, the Sentinel, Winslow, among others, while more conventional companies mutual fund like Vanguard, as Neuberger Berman, as Gabelli, as Legg Mason, as Dreyfus, to name a few, have one or more investment products that address certain social concerns, but SRI is not their primary focus.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While mutual funds provide a valuable way to invest in a diverse group of companies that represent specific social values, they have certain limitations you should consider before investing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;First, mutual funds generally tend to be expensive. Many companies in the mutual fund progressive charge fees in addition to fees to buy or sell stocks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Second, the mutual funds are a passive way of investing in SRI with no control over carrier selection. If you take a closer look at some of the properties of the companies mutual fund that profess to invest in socially responsible companies, you may be surprised to find companies that really is not aligned with values of SRI.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Finally, many mutual funds just can not beat a simple and consistent product that tracks an index such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs). One of the first SRI index, the FTSE 400 KLD began in 1990, have continued to perform competitively, with returns of 9.51% of the principle by December 31, 2009, compared to 8.66% for the S &amp;amp; P 500 on the same period. For a fraction of the cost of investing in a mutual fund, you can simply buy shares of an ETF that tracks the KLD FTSE 400 and does just as well if not better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are now about 26 ETFs to choose from and even though they only justify about 1 percent of the total benefits invested in SRI, its advantages have grown 225% since 2007, the fastest recorded investment product.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Actions and link&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Perhaps a more direct way to invest in socially responsible investing directly in stocks or bonds of solid, financially-sound companies that appeal to their values.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There is a misconception that when you invest in individual company stocks increases your risk because it reduces the number of companies you invest in, concentrating risk to investments. This is only true if you do your research and invest in companies that are financially, socially and ethically sound.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;To begin your search, several publications released annual lists of the leading SRI. If you simply do not have time or want to do research, ETFs are a great option and can be paid to New Wealth Paradigm bimonthly newsletter provides investment ideas, trends and notable companies to watch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Alternative investments include hedge fund, venture capital funds, private equity funds, property funds and other unregistered limited partnerships or limited liability companies which are typically available only to accredited investors and high net worth. That is, they are investments that generally have high initial requirement minimum investment of $ 50,000 or more that is only available to a wealthy few.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;These are not necessarily for everyone but unlike mutual funds, hedge fund managers who used to have the flexibility to buy and sell using investment techniques and strategies that are generally unavailable or even prohibited by companies to mutual fund Because of regulatory constraints.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The greatest flexibility usually translates to a better ability to adjust to different market conditions and the potential for higher returns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This area of SRI has exploded since 2008 with 610% increase in managed benefits rose a growing interest in clean energy and renewable technology.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;COMMUNITY INVESTING: Financial Institutions Community Development ("CDFIs")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Development Financial Institutions of the community are made of: the banks of the development of community credit unions in community development funds, community development loan and venture capital funds for community development. Each of these is a different type of lender that makes capital available to individuals or small businesses in underserved communities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The benefits of investing in community institutions have risen more than 60% since 2007.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today, many of these institutions reach their targeted customers online. The Kiva.org is one such organization which specializes in providing micro loans to entrepreneurs in regions revealing. The rate of return is 98.99% and interest rates vary but are more competitive than a bank savings value.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;GLOBAL TRENDS&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are several global trends in 2011 to help stretch your travel investment in the area of SRI and the positive outlook for the global business cycle (out of a global recession), demographic changes (population growth booming elderly population in Asia and U.S.) new technology, climate change, among other things, that all play a factor in determining where money flows.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Specifically, green investments related to clean technology and renewable energy is one of the most dominant in 2011 driving increased investment in particular SRI SRI and alternative investments (ie hedge fund, private placements).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ready to make choices about where to put your money, is a good idea to step back a different investment vehicles available and take a look at the big picture. What changes lead investments in the sector, and specifically, companies are more likely to perform well in space socially responsible?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;WHERE TO FROM HERE?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For posts weekly and bi-monthly newsletter, New Wealth Paradigm indicate investors expect SRI options that make sense at this time.

Many experts consider this strategy to be a low risk way to increase portfolio returns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;However, the options are complicated, much more so that seem at first. Few people, even many experienced investors, not fully understood. There is also a huge number of options to choose from. You can sell in the money calls, close to the money calls and out of the money calls. You can sell with expiration dates or three years ago in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;However, not all of these options will produce the same return, and some are riskier than others. Therefore, many people prefer to have professionals apply this strategy to their advantage. They just do not have the time, knowledge, confidence or consent to implement its own covered call writing strategy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;When you write a covered call, sell someone the right to buy 100 shares of those shares from you at a certain price (the strike) for a certain period (before the expiry date). Why sell something of value, is paid any money from it. That money is called the premium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If the market price of the stock never reaches the strike by expiration date, the actions and keeps the premium. That's the ideal situation for a covered call writer, but life is not always ideal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If the market price of shares up to and past the strike price, then those shares will be sold in its portfolio. You still kept the premium, and sales value. Unless, of course, for the commission. This situation is not considered ideal, because it lost the difference between the true market price and the strike value. But most investors covered call shrug their shoulders at this. They still have made a profit. And if they just bought and held the stock, they would not have realized the full gain anyway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The exchange traded funds or ETFs is a form of mutual fund closed-end. Most have some sort index. Covered call writing is actively managed ETFs. That is, fund managers select which shares to buy and they visit these shares to be sold.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ETFs somehow using covered calls to increase their returns include:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Trust BlackRock Global Equity Opportunities (BOE), Dow 30 Premium &amp;amp; Dividend Fund (DPD), Eaton Vance Income Increased equity funded (EOI), Eaton Vance Income Increased equity funded (EOS), Eaton Vance Income Tax-Managed Buy-Write Finance (ETB), First Advantage Trust Fiduciary Management Covered Call Fund (FFA), Gabelli Gold, Natural Resources and Income are wary of (GGN), the Trustee / Claymore Dynamic Equity Income finance (HCE), ING Global Equity Dividend &amp;amp; Premium Fund (IGD), Global Advantage Nuveen Equity Premium (JLA) Nuveen Equity Income from premiums financed (JPZ), Equity Opportunity Fund of Nuveen Premium (JSN), Growth Come / Claymore Income Enahanced &amp;amp; Finance (LCM), Madison / Claymore Covered Call Fund (MCN), Nicholas-Applegate International &amp;amp; Premium Strategy Fund (NAI), NFJ Dividend , Premium and Interest Strategy Fund (NFJ), and PIMCO Global Stocksplus Revenue &amp;amp; Finance (PGP).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;These funds are different. Some sell covered calls on stocks in their portfolios. Some are sold in only a portion of your portfolio, some in their entire portfolios. Some of them sell only outside money calls.

Millions of people have these funds and many are wondering what is the best funds to own in these times of high uncertainty. Here we compare and discuss some things about which you may never have thought.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;With the year 2011 approached a trend in mutual funds became very clear. Investors pulled money funds exhausted and ran to the perceived safety of bond funds. The reason: Bond funds had a good record, while equity funds investors had beaten up big time ... twice in the "lost decade" from 2000 to 2010. Forward could be a serious mistake to assume that the best mutual funds for 2011 and beyond will again be those that invest in fixed income securities called bonds. Let's look at the nature of both types of funds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bond funds are often marked INCOME funds because their goal is to earn relatively high interest income for its investors by investing in fixed income securities. The second objective is preservation of principal or stable prices of fund shares (security). Stock funds are often called Equity funds because they invest their money in equities (stocks) in the pursuit of total return ... higher with a higher degree of risk. Earn money here when stock prices rise, and secondarily dividend income. Most people have learned the value or price of their equity funds fluctuate, going up and down. Many have not learned that bond fund values fluctuate too, but pursues a relative price stability.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Few people care for their mutual funds, but they know more if you make or lose money. For example, few would know how or why they made a total yield of 10% for the year in a bond fund when paid only 3% or 4% dividend (interest) income. Where did the rest of the profits? Very simply, the price of fund shares rose on the year as interest rates fell in the economy. This has been the basic trend for years as interest rates have fallen to new lows. A consequence of falling rates of fixed income securities in bond fund portfolios have become more attractive to investors in general - which has offered up bond prices to higher levels and higher on the open market.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In vs bond funds. equity funds will debate could say that the former is more predictable. If the economy remains lackluster and interest rates continue to fall, bond funds might well be the best mutual funds for 2011 and future years. Moreover, these funds are even more predictable in the short side. If interest rates rise appreciably virtually all the bonds in the stocks become less attractive and lose value. Then make the funds that invest in them. This is one of the only ironclad rules to investing. Another is that each investment is at risk ... and there is significant risk to the investor relied on income funds when interest rates are at or near new lows. Plus, there is little potential gain upper left. After all, how much further they can fall in interest rates?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Equity funds, as the stock market has always been unpredictable from year to year. That's why these funds are required to warn investors about the risks involved in investing in them. On the other hand, they have produced long-term gains (returns) on the average about 10% per year vs. 5% to 6% returns for income funds. Some years they have produced returns of 30%, 40% or more for investors. Another advantage is the variety of equity funds available to average investors: general diversified funds, international, emerging markets, and specialty funds that specialize in gold, real estate and natural resources sectors to name a few. Not all equity funds tank when the U.S. stock market gets beaten for a loop.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the best mutual funds for 2011 debate vs bond funds. equity funds here are my final thoughts for you. The average investor should invest in both. You can do this and cut their overall risk if you do the following. Avoid long-term fund income because they are very sensitive to higher interest rates. Go with intermediate-term funds for less risk. In the equity diversified funds the department as crazy even international and specialty funds in your portfolio.
