&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;Pingin rasanya ketika terbangun ada di keheningan alam nan sejuk diliputi &amp;nbsp;embun pagi dan bersautan suara angin dan tiupan angin yang menebarkan kesejukan yang membangkitkan semangat untuk membuka mata. Walau malam begitu tak biasa karena hanya ditemani beberapa suara jangkrik dan saut paut teman yang menginap di alam terbuka, semenjak itulah sesekali terpikir bahwa KEDAMAIAN tak bisa di nilai dengan apapun, tak bisa terbeli kawan, tak bisa terkalahkan &amp;nbsp;dengan harga yang ditawarkan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;Alam begitu nyata, disamping kerucut menjungjung tinggi melewati awan menjulang. semua itu tak akan didapat dengan begitu saja, perlu niat yang tulus dan semangat yang membara di dada untuk mendapatkan itu semua. Butuh waktu teman.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;Jangan melawan apa yang kita tidak mampu teman, biarkan lah berlalu ikuti suara hati, relax.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;Semua akan terbayar sepadan dengan apa yang diimpikan, walaupun orang mungkin menertawakan, apalah guna,&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;first time -&amp;gt; go outside and make some fun with the nature...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;Hohoho my dream come true, walaupun alone walaupun yang dihadapi tak sekira yang di bayangkan... majuuuu terussssss.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;Ketagihan menjadi salah satu bayangan untuk meneruskan perjuangan yang belum tercapai, kemana yahhh.... dalam benak fikiran berbisat sesekali waktu, padahal perjuangan kali ini belum selesai sudah berbayang untuk kedepan....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;Tak akan menyerah walau impian hanya dilebur oleh waktu,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"&gt;someday some place some fun some happiness.... go go go go&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Layanan streaming video milik Google, YouTube kemungkinan akan melakukan proses akuisisi terbesar yang pernah dilakukannya. Perusahaan yang diakuisisi oleh Google di tahun 2006 itu pun kabarnya tengah menyiapkan dana mencapai 1 miliar USD atau setara 11 trilun rupiah untuk membeli perusahaan video game streaming bernama Twitch.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;"&gt;
Menurut sumber dari Variety, proses akuisisi tersebut akan dilakukan dengan melibatkan uang tunai secara keseluruhan. Namun untuk proses akuisisi ini, pihak YouTube masih harus berhadapan dengan regulator di Amerika Serikat yang menentang adanya rencana merger ini. Penolakan tersebut terjadi karena proses akuisisi ini bisa berakibat adanya sikap antikompetitif di segmen layanan penyedia video online.&lt;/div&gt;

Keberadaan Twitch dalam YouTube pun bakal memberikan peran yang besar bagi Google. Layanan Twitch pertama kali diluncurkan pada bulan Juni tahun 2011. Dan menurut perusahaan video online dan networking Qwilt, Twitch mempunyai market share yang dominan di segmen live streaming, dengan prosentase mencapai angka 43,6 persen.&lt;/div&gt;

Selain itu, Twitch juga diklaim telah mempunyai pengguna per bulan mencapai angka 45 juta user. Tak hanya itu, Twitch pun mengatakan kalau terdapat lebih dari 1 juga membernya yang melakukan aktivitas upload video setiap bulan.&lt;/div&gt;

Batu-Batu Karang yang Eksotis di Pantai Klayar&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://beritadaerah.com/admin/images/wisata/38354/batu%20klayar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://beritadaerah.com/admin/images/wisata/38354/batu%20klayar.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Berita Daerah - Jawa) Pantai Klayar merupakan objek wisata alam andalan 
dari Pacitan. Selain  pasirnya yang putih, di pantai ini terdapat banyak
 batu-batu karang yang  eksotik. Batu-batu karang yang beragam 
ukurannya, menambah kelokan  Pantai Klayar di Jawa Timur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;" /&gt;
&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;
Jika berkunjung ke Pacitan di  sebelah timur Pulau Jawa, sempatkanlah 
untuk berkunjung ke Pantai  klayar. Pantai ini terletak sekitar 40 km 
dari Kota Pacitan. Perjalanan  ke Pantai Klayar dapat ditempuh dengan 
mobil dan sepeda motor, atau  dengan menyewa angkutan umum sekitar Rp 
100.000-150.000 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://beritadaerah.com/admin/images/batu%20klayar2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://beritadaerah.com/admin/images/batu%20klayar2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;
Pantai  Klayar hampir sama dengan pantai-pantai lainnya, yang memiliki 
pasir  yang putih, ombak yang khas pesisir pantai-pantai di selatan 
Pulau Jawa,  dan pepohonan kelapa di sekitar pantai. Bedanya, Pantai 
klayar memiliki  batu-batu karang yang eksotik dan khas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ukuran-ukuran batu  karang tersebut mulai dari ukuran batu-batu kecil, 
hingga tebing-tebing  yang tinggi. Tidak sedikit, orang menyebut Pantai 
Klayar sebagai 'Tanah  Lot' dari Pulau Jawa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ukuran batu-batu karang di Pantai Klayar  sangat beragam. Hal 
tersebutlah yang dapat dijadikan buruan foto bagi  para fotografer. 
Mungkin saja, jika Anda berminat untuk melakukan foto  pernikahan, batu-batu karang di Pantai Klayar dapat menjadi latar yang  unik.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://beritadaerah.com/admin/images/batu%20klayar3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://beritadaerah.com/admin/images/batu%20klayar3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;
Hamparan pasir yang putih dan bersih dan
 ombaknya yang  berderu-deru, akan menambah suasana syahdu di pantai 
ini. Saat senja,  keindahan Pantai Klayar pun bertambah dengan cahaya 
sunset yang dikemas  dengan bebatuan karang yang beragam. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Memang, belum banyak  penginapan yang dapat dijadikan sebagai tempat 
menginap Anda di pantai  ini. Oleh sebab itu, datanglah dari pagi hari, 
dijamin kelokan batu  karang, pasir, ombak, dan pantainya, akan menjadi 
kenangan yang tidak  terlupakan. Jangan lupa untuk menyiapkan kamera 
terbaik Anda!

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16px;"&gt;Di suatu masa, hiduplah seorang putri cantik bernama &lt;a href="http://anehdidunia.blogspot.com/2012/04/misteri-ratu-pantai-selatan.html"&gt;Kadita&lt;/a&gt;.
 Karena kecantikannya, ia pun dipanggil Dewi Srengenge yang berarti 
matahari yang indah. Dewi Srengenge adalah anak dari Raja Munding Wangi.
 Meskipun sang raja mempunyai seorang putri yang cantik, ia selalu 
bersedih karena sebenarnya ia selalu berharap mempunyai anak laki-laki. 
Raja pun kemudian menikah dengan Dewi Mutiara, dan mendapatkan putra 
dari perkimpoian tersebut. Maka, bahagialah sang raja.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dewi Mutiara ingin agar kelak putranya itu menjadi raja, dan ia pun 
berusaha agar keinginannya itu terwujud. Kemudian Dewi Mutiara datang 
menghadap raja, dan meminta agar sang raja menyuruh putrinya pergi dari 
istana. Sudah tentu raja menolak. "Sangat menggelikan. Saya tidak akan 
membiarkan siapapun yang ingin bertindak kasar pada putriku", kata Raja 
Munding Wangi. Mendengar jawaban itu, Dewi Mutiara pun tersenyum dan 
berkata manis sampai raja tidak marah lagi kepadanya. Tapi walaupun 
demikian, dia tetap berniat mewujudkan keinginannya itu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pada pagi harinya, sebelum matahari terbit, Dewi Mutiara mengutus 
pembantunya untuk memanggil seorang dukun. Dia ingin sang dukun mengutuk
 Kadita, anak tirinya. "Aku ingin tubuhnya yang cantik penuh dengan 
kudis dan gatal-gatal. Bila engkau berhasil, maka aku akan memberikan 
suatu imbalan yang tak pernah kau bayangkan sebelumnya." Sang dukun 
menuruti perintah sang ratu. Pada malam harinya, tubuh Kadita telah 
dipenuhi dengan kudis dan gatal-gatal. Ketika dia terbangun, dia 
menyadari tubuhnya berbau busuk dan dipenuhi dengan bisul. Puteri yang 
cantik itu pun menangis dan tak tahu harus berbuat apa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ketika Raja mendengar kabar itu, beliau menjadi sangat sedih dan 
mengundang banyak tabib untuk menyembuhkan penyakit putrinya. Beliau 
sadar bahwa penyakit putrinya itu tidak wajar, seseorang pasti telah 
mengutuk atau mengguna-gunainya. Masalah pun menjadi semakin rumit 
ketika Ratu Dewi Mutiara memaksanya untuk mengusir puterinya. "Puterimu 
akan mendatangkan kesialan bagi seluruh negeri," kata Dewi Mutiara. 
Karena Raja tidak menginginkan puterinya menjadi gunjingan di seluruh 
negeri, akhirnya beliau terpaksa menyetujui usul Ratu Mutiara untuk 
mengirim putrinya ke luar dari negeri itu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puteri yang malang itu pun pergi sendirian, tanpa tahu kemana harus 
pergi. Dia hampir tidak dapat menangis lagi. Dia memang memiliki hati 
yang mulia. Dia tidak menyimpan dendam kepada ibu tirinya, malahan ia 
selalu meminta agar Tuhan mendampinginya dalam menanggung penderitaan..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hampir tujuh hari dan tujuh malam dia berjalan sampai akhirnya tiba di 
Samudera Selatan. Dia memandang samudera itu. Airnya bersih dan jernih, 
tidak seperti samudera lainnya yang airnya biru atau hijau. Dia melompat
 ke dalam air dan berenang. Tiba-tiba, ketika air Samudera Selatan itu 
menyentuh kulitnya, mukjizat terjadi. Bisulnya lenyap dan tak ada 
tanda-tanda bahwa dia pernah kudisan atau gatal-gatal. Malahan, dia 
menjadi lebih cantik daripada sebelumnya. Bukan hanya itu, kini dia 
memiliki kuasa untuk memerintah seisi Samudera Selatan. Kini ia menjadi 
seorang peri yang disebut &lt;a href="http://anehdidunia.blogspot.com/2012/04/misteri-ratu-pantai-selatan.html"&gt;Nyi Roro Kidul&lt;/a&gt; atau Ratu Pantai Samudera Selatan yang hidup selamanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanjeng Ratu Kidul = Ratna Suwinda&lt;br /&gt;
Tersebut dalam Babad Tanah Jawi (abad ke-19), seorang pangeran dari 
Kerajaan Pajajaran, Joko Suruh, bertemu dengan seorang pertapa yang 
memerintahkan agar dia menemukan Kerajaan Majapahit di Jawa Timur. 
Karena sang pertapa adalah seorang wanita muda yang cantik, Joko Suruh 
pun jatuh cinta kepadanya. Tapi sang pertapa yang ternyata merupakan 
bibi dari Joko Suruh, bernama Ratna Suwida, menolak cintanya. Ketika 
muda, Ratna Suwida mengasingkan diri untuk bertapa di sebuah bukit. 
Kemudian ia pergi ke pantai selatan Jawa dan menjadi penguasa spiritual 
di sana. Ia berkata kepada pangeran, jika keturunan pangeran menjadi 
penguasa di kerajaan yang terletak di dekat Gunung Merapi, ia akan 
menikahi seluruh penguasa secara bergantian.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16px;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Generasi selanjutnya, Panembahan Senopati, pendiri Kerajaan Mataram 
Ke-2, mengasingkan diri ke Pantai Selatan, untuk mengumpulkan seluruh 
energinya, dalam upaya mempersiapkan kampanye militer melawan kerajaan 
utara. Meditasinya menarik perhatian Kanjeng Ratu Kidul dan dia berjanji
 untuk membantunya. Selama tiga hari dan tiga malam dia mempelajari 
rahasia perang dan pemerintahan, dan intrik-intrik cinta di istana bawah
 airnya, hingga akhirnya muncul dari Laut Parangkusumo, kini Yogyakarta 
Selatan. Sejak saat itu, Ratu Kidul dilaporkan berhubungan erat dengan 
keturunan Senopati yang berkuasa, dan sesajian dipersembahkan untuknya 
di tempat ini setiap tahun melalui perwakilan istana Solo dan 
Yogyakarta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Begitulah dua buah kisah atau legenda mengenai &lt;a href="http://anehdidunia.blogspot.com/2012/04/misteri-ratu-pantai-selatan.html"&gt;Kanjeng Ratu Kidul&lt;/a&gt;,
 atau Nyi Roro Kidul, atau Ratu Pantai Selatan. Versi pertama diambil 
dari buku Cerita Rakyat dari Yogyakarta dan versi yang kedua terdapat 
dalam Babad Tanah Jawi. Kedua cerita tersebut memang berbeda, tapi anda 
jangan bingung. Anda tidak perlu pusing memilih, mana dari keduanya yang
 paling benar. Cerita-cerita di atas hanyalah sebuah pengatar bagi 
tulisan selanjutnya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanjeng Ratu Kidul dan Keraton Yogyakarta&lt;br /&gt;
Percayakah anda dengan cerita tentang Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, atau Nyi Roro 
Kidul, atau Ratu Pantai Selatan? Sebagian dari anda mungkin akan berkata
 TIDAK. Tapi coba tanyakan kepada mereka yang hidup dalam zaman atau 
lingkungan Keraton Yogyakarta. Mereka yakin dengan kebenaran cerita ini.
 Kebenaran akan cerita Kanjeng Ratu Kidul memang masih tetap menjadi 
polemik. Tapi terlepas dari polemik tersebut, ada sebuah fenomena yang 
nyata, bahwa mitos Ratu Kidul memang memiliki relevansi dengan 
eksistensi Keraton Yogyakarta. Hubungan antara Kanjeng Ratu Kidul dengan
 Keraton Yogyakarta paling tidak tercantum dalam Babad Tanah Jawi 
(cerita tentang kanjeng Ratu Kidul di atas, versi kedua). Hubungan 
seperti apa yang terjalin di antara keduanya?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Y. Argo Twikromo dalam bukunya berjudul Ratu Kidul menyebutkan bahwa 
masyarakat adalah sebuah komunitas tradisi yang mementingkan 
keharmonisan, keselarasan dan keseimbangan hidup. Karena hidup ini tidak
 terlepas dari lingkungan alam sekitar, maka memfungsikan dan memaknai 
lingkungan alam sangat penting dilakukan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sebagai sebuah hubungan komunikasi timbal balik dengan lingkungan yang 
menurut masyarakat Jawa mempunyai kekuatan yang lebih kuat, masih 
menurut Twikromo, maka penggunaan simbol pun sering diaktualisasikan. 
Jika dihubungkan dengan makhluk halus, maka Javanisme mengenal penguasa 
makhluk halus seperti penguasa Gunung Merapi, penguasa Gunung Lawu, 
Kayangan nDelpin, dan Laut Selatan. &lt;a href="http://anehdidunia.blogspot.com/2012/04/misteri-ratu-pantai-selatan.html"&gt;Penguasa Laut Selatan&lt;/a&gt;
 inilah yang oleh orang Jawa disebut Kanjeng Ratu Kidul. Keempat 
penguasa tersebut mengitari Kesultanan Yogyakarta. Dan untuk mencapai 
keharmonisan, keselarasan dan keseimbangan dalam masyarakat, maka raja 
harus mengadakan komunikasi dengan "makhluk-makhluk halus" tersebut.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menurut Twikromo, bagi raja Jawa berkomunikasi dengan Ratu Kidul adalah 
sebagai salah satu kekuatan batin dalam mengelola negara. Sebagai 
kekuatan datan kasat mata (tak terlihat oleh mata), Kanjeng Ratu Kidul 
harus dimintai restu dalam kegiatan sehari-hari untuk mendapatkan 
keselamatan dan ketenteraman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kepercayaan terhadap Ratu Kidul ini diaktualisasikan dengan baik. Pada 
kegiatan labuhan misalnya, sebuah upacara tradisional keraton yang 
dilaksanakan di tepi laut di selatan Yogyakarta, yang diadakan tiap 
ulang tahun Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono, menurut perhitungan tahun Saka 
(tahun Jawa). Upacara ini bertujuan untuk kesejahteraan sultan dan 
masyarakat Yogyakarta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kepercayaan terhadap Kanjeng Ratu Kidul juga diwujudkan lewat tari 
Bedaya Lambangsari dan Bedaya Semang yang diselenggarakan untuk 
menghormati serta memperingati Sang Ratu. Bukti lainnya adalah dengan 
didirikannya sebuah bangunan di Komplek Taman Sari (Istana di Bawah 
Air), sekitar 1 km sebelah barat Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, yang
 dinamakan Sumur Gumuling. Tempat ini diyakini sebagai tempat pertemuan 
sultan dengan Ratu Pantai Selatan, Kanjeng Ratu Kidul.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Penghayatan mitos Kanjeng Ratu Kidul tersebut tidak hanya diyakini dan 
dilaksanakan oleh pihak keraton saja, tapi juga oleh masyarakat pada 
umumnya di wilayah kesultanan. Salah satu buktinya adalah adanya 
kepercayaan bahwa jika orang hilang di Pantai Parangtritis, maka orang 
tersebut hilang karena "diambil" oleh sang Ratu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Selain Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, mitos Kanjeng Ratu Kidul juga 
diyakini oleh saudara mereka, Keraton Surakarta Hadiningrat. Dalam Babad
 Tanah Jawi memang disebutkan bahwa Kanjeng Ratu Kidul pernah berjanji 
kepada Panembahan Senopati, penguasa pertama Kerajaan Mataram, untuk 
menjaga Kerajaan Mataram, para sultan, keluarga kerajaan, dan masyarakat
 dari malapetaka. Dan karena kedua keraton (Yogyakarta dan Surakarta) 
memiliki leluhur yang sama (Kerajaan Mataram), maka seperti halnya 
Keraton Yogyakarta, Keraton Surakarta juga melaksanakan berbagai bentuk 
penghayatan mereka kepada Kanjeng Ratu Kidul. Salah satunya adalah 
pementasan tari yang paling sakral di keraton, Bedoyo Ketawang, yang 
diselenggarakan setahun sekali pada saat peringatan hari penobatan para 
raja. Sembilan orang penari yang mengenakan pakaian tradisional 
pengantin Jawa mengundang Ratu Kidul untuk datang dan menikahi 
susuhunan, dan kabarnya sang Ratu kemudian secara gaib muncul dalam 
wujud penari kesepuluh yang nampak berkilauan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kepercayaan terhadap Ratu Kidul ternyata juga meluas sampai ke daerah 
Jawa Barat. Anda pasti pernah mendengar, bahwa ada sebuah kamar khusus 
(nomor 308) di lantai atas Samudera Beach Hotel, Pelabuhan Ratu, yang 
disajikan khusus untuk Ratu Kidul. Siapapun yang ingin bertemu dengan 
sang Ratu, bisa masuk ke ruangan ini, tapi harus melalui seorang 
perantara yang menyajikan persembahan buat sang Ratu. Pengkhususan kamar
 ini adalah salah satu simbol 'gaib' yang dipakai oleh mantan presiden 
Soekarno.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sampai sekarang, di masa yang sangat modern ini, legenda Kanjeng Ratu 
Kidul, atau Nyi Roro Kidul, atau Ratu Pantai Selatan, adalah legenda 
yang paling spektakuler. Bahkan ketika anda membaca kisah ini, banyak 
orang dari Indonesia atau negara lain mengakui bahwa mereka telah 
bertemu ratu peri yang cantik mengenakan pakaian tradisional Jawa. Salah
 satu orang yang dikabarkan juga pernah menyaksikan secara langsung 
wujud sang Ratu adalah sang maestro pelukis Indonesia, (almarhum) 
Affandi. Pengalamannya itu kemudian ia tuangkan dalam sebuah lukisan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;dd&gt;Keunikan&lt;br /&gt;
dari pantai ini adalah selain mercusuar yang menjulang tinggi ini, 
pantainya masih bisa dibilang cukup perawan. Belum banyak wisatawan yang
 berkunjung ke sini karena pantai ini kalah pamor dengan Pantai Samas di
 sebelah timur atau pun Pantai Pandansimo di sebelah baratnya. Belum 
lagi akses ke pantai ini kurang memadai, yaitu jalan untuk menuju ke 
pantai ini masih rusak.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;dd&gt;Wisata
 pantai di Indonesia tak akan pernah habis untuk dijelajahi. Perjalanan 
saya kali ini adalah berkunjung ke Sukabumi, Jawa Barat untuk melihat 
keindahan Pantai Ujung Genteng. Berjuta pesona alam yang indah 
disuguhkan oleh pantai yang berada di bagian bara pesisir selatan dari 
Pulau Jawa ini.&lt;br /&gt;

Menginjakan kaki di Pantai Ujung Genteng ini, para turis akan disapa 
oleh deburan ombak laut yang beratapkan langit biru. Gulungan ombak itu,
 serasa bersahabat dan senantiasa selalu mendekat ke tepan pantai.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hindarkan Berspekulasi, Tingkatkan Evaluasi!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Untuk kesekian kalinya, kecelakaan terjadi lagi di negeri kita. Pesawat udara yang merupakan sarana transpotasi yang notabene highclass dan bagi kalangan masyarakat yang mengutamakan kenyamanan dan efisiensi waktu, kini berubah menjadi ancaman yang menakutkan. Lihatlah jenazah-jenazah di sekitar jurang yang ditemukan secara mengenaskan oleh tim Save and Rescue (SAR). Tidakkah ini merupakan pukulan telak bagi dunia penerbangan yang merupakan sarana penghubung transportasi internasional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bagaimana tidak? Sukhoi Super Jet 100 (SSJ100) buatan negara pecahan Uni Sovyet, Rusia tersebut pada Hari Rabu, 9 Mei 2012 menabrak lereng Gunung Salak, Bogor. Kecanggihan dan inovasi yang terus diterapkan pada pesawat yang awal kemunculannya pada tahun 2008 tersebut tidak bisa mengelak pada tragedi naas ini. Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi saat detik-detik kecelakaan tersebut? Banyak pihak berasumsi pada berbagai sektor, baik itu human error, faktor cuaca, dan faktor-faktor lain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benarkah seorang Alexander Yablontsev, Pilot SSJ100 yang telah berkiprah di dunia penerbangan selama puluhan tahun serta telah menerbangkan sekitar 221 pesawat itu keliru dalam mengambil keputusan? Apakah pesawat yang tadinya mengudara pada ketinggian 10.000 kaki dari permukaan laut diturunkan menjadi 6.000 kaki dari permukaan laut? Sedangkan ketinggian Gunung Salak berada pada 7.000 kaki.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain itu, menurut tayangan berita di salah satu stasiun televisi nasional, yang menjelaskan bahwa komunikasi antara Pilot dan Air Traffic Controller (ATC) terganggu akibat frekuensi radio saat akan terjadi kecelakaan itu. Ataukah faktor cuaca yang mengaburkan penglihatan di sekitas pesawat? Seluruh warga negara hendaklah jangan terlalu banyak berspekulasi apa yang telah terjadi dan penyebab kecelakaan SSJ100 tersebut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seharusnya, tunggulah sampai pihak yang berwenang dalam pengidentifikasian kecelakaan pesawat naas ini selesai dan dapat mengumumkan apa yang menjadi titik fatal kecelakaan ini dapat terjadi. Merupakan sebuah pekerjaah bagi pemerintah, khususnya perusahaan penerbangan untuk lebih memprioritaskan keamanan para pengguna pesawat terbang. Benahi segala sudut pesawat, mesin, memaksimalkan sistem komunikasi ATC serta perbaiki sinyal-sinyal yang dapat mengakibatkan missed communication antara ATC dan Pilot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jika tidak segera ditindaklanjuti, bagaimanakah pandangan masyarakat mengenai transportasi udara di negeri kita? Setelah sekian banyak tragedi tragis pesawat yang menabrak bumi. Tidakkah mereka berpikir ulang untuk menggunakan salah satu transportasi elit ini? Karena pada dasarnya, pesawat merupakan angkutan yang membawa banyak nyawa, merupakan tanggung jawab bersama demi menyelamatkan banyak passengers agar pesawat merupakan pilihan transportasi yang aman, nyaman dan praktis. Semoga setelah peristiwa SSJ100 tersebut, akan menjadi teguran bagi pihak yang terkait dalam memperbaiki dan mengevaluasi sistem terbaik yang dapat diandalkan. Sebab, teknologi super canggih pun bukan menjadi jaminan aman tidaknya sebuah penerbangan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Keselamatan penerbangan adalah hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan keamanan dan keselamatan penerbangan dan pencegahan terjadinya kecelakaan penerbangan melalui pembuatan peraturan dan pelatihan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penerbangan merupakan media yang menjembatani jarak geografi antara tempat asal dengan tujuan melalui udara. Fungsi ini harus diikuti dengan terjaminnya orang maupun barang yang diangkut sampai ditempat tujuan dengan selamat. Tanpa itu fungsi angkutan udara tidak akan berarti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelayanan Lalu Lintas Penerbangan (ATC) dan Penerbang (Pilot) dalam melaksanakan tugasnya harus senantiasa berpedoman kepada Peraturan Keselamatan Penerbangan Sipil (ACSR). Untuk tinggal landas (take off) dan pendaratan (landing) mengacu pada ketentuan jarak pandang minimal yang berlaku di bandar udara dan/atau sesuai dengan OCH/OCA pada prosedur pendaratan instrumen (IFP) bandar udara setempat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pada saat kecelakaan menimpa, keluarga korban berada dalam keadaan bingung, cemas dan putus asa. Dalam kondisi ini mereka butuh segala bentuk pertolongan dan uluran tangan. Mereka perlu informasi agar bisa mengambil tindakan dalam suasana yang bingung itu. Rasa aman dan dorongan motivasi sangat dinantikan oleh keluarga yang cemas tentang nasib keluarganya yang tertimpa musibah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pihak yang menjadi tumpuan harapan dan perlindungan adalah pemerintah. Pengelola negara ini dituntut mampu memberi rasa aman dan kepastian. Termasuk dalam memberikan informasi maupun petunjuk tindakan. Kesigapan dan ketegasan pemerintah menjadi tuntutan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melekatnya sejumlah harapan kepada pemerintah baik kondisi biasa maupun saat terjadi musibah itu membuat kehati-hatian patut menjadi pegangan para pejabat negara. Jangan sampai melakukan tindakan yang tidak bisa dipertanggunjawabkan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pemerintah perlu berkomunikasi dengan baik. Komunikasi dilakukan baik dengan pengelola transportasi, masyarakat pengguna dan juga keluarga korban kecelakaan. Robbins (1996) mengatakan bahwa penyelenggara pemerintahan harusnya menguasai karakteristik dalam komunikasi pemerintahan. Salah satu yang erat dengan kondisi ini adalah kepiawaian dalam menangani kondisi seburuk apapun termasuk berita jelek dan tidak menguntungkan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kepiawaian seperti ini bisa mengubah sesuatu yang buruk menjadi lebih baik. Akhirnya kemungkinan terjadinya kecelakaan bisa dicegah atau bila kecelakaan menimpa bisa meringankan beban para korban dan keluarganya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Komunikasi yang efektif menjadi kebutuhan untuk mewujudkan hal di atas. Komunikasi efektif membutuhkan pendekatan faktual dan aktual. Maksudnya komunikasi pemerintahan tidak bisa meninggalkan realita. Informasi juga tidak boleh basi atau ketinggalan jaman. Perlu penguasaan dan pemahaman komunikasi komprehensif. Artinya pemahaman yang dilandasi kejujuran komunikasi dan komunikasi atas dasar hati nurani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Komunikasi pemerintahan perlu memiliki karakter yang completeness atau lengkap baik data maupun medianya. Sifat lain claryteness yakni memiliki tingkat kejelasan yang tinggi serta sifat correctness atau memiliki nilai kebenaran yang bisa dipertanggungjawabkan. Hal ini akan menjaga agar pemerintahan bisa melakukan komunikasi dengan masyarakat dengan baik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negara ini didirikan adalah untuk melindungi segenap bangsa dan seluruh tumpah darahnya. Pemerintah sebagai pemegang amanat rakyat harus siap menjadi pelindung bagi rakyatnya. Muaranya rakyat akan merasa tenteram hidup dinegerinya sebagai sebuah negara bangsa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;Smoking
marijuana can relieve muscle tightness, spasticity (contractions) and pain
often experienced by those with multiple sclerosis, says research out of the
University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.75pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;The
findings, just published in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cmaj.ca/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Canadian Medical Association Journal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, included a controlled
trial with 30 participants to understand whether inhaled cannabis would help
complicated cases where existing pharmaceuticals are ineffective or trigger
adverse side effects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system,
which is made up of the brain and spinal cord.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

disease attacks the myelin, the protective covering wrapped around the nerves
of the central nervous system, and — among other symptoms — can cause loss of
balance, impaired speech, extreme fatigue, double vision and paralysis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

than rely on self-reporting by patients regarding their muscle spasticity — a
subjective measure — health professionals rated each patient’s joints on the
modified Ashworth scale, a common objective tool to evaluate intensity of
muscle tone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

researchers found that the individuals in the group that smoked cannabis
experienced an almost one-third decrease on the Ashworth scale — 2.74 points
from a baseline score of 9.3 — meaning spasticity improved, compared to the
placebo group.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

well, pain scores decreased by about 50 per cent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

saw a beneficial effect of smoked cannabis on treatment-resistant spasticity
and pain associated with multiple sclerosis among our participants,” says Dr. Jody
Corey-Bloom of the university’s department of neuroscience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

found that, although generally well-tolerated, the cannabis had the expected
short-term but acute cognitive effects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

says larger, long-term studies are needed to confirm findings and determine
whether lower doses can result in beneficial effects with less cognitive
impact.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Canadians have one of the highest rates of the disease in the world. The

Meski terbilang sulit dijangkau, upaya Anda akan terasa setimpal sesaat tiba dan melihat keindahannya. Karena belum banyak dijamah, pantai tak begitu ramai sehingga surfer bisa leluasa mengarungi ombak lautan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tipe ombaknya adalah&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;reef break&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;dan dasar lautnya berupa batu karang. Pada saat tertentu Pantai Watu Karung menghasilkan barrel yang pasti disenangi peselancar. Saat yang tepat untuk berselancar adalah pada bulan April hingga Oktober.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baik peselancar dengan goofy style atau natural bisa berselancar di Pantai Watu Karung karena terdapat gulungan ombak kanan dan kiri. Terkadang Anda bisa berjumpa dengan ubur-ubur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jika ingin bekunjung, lakukan persiapan denga lengkap, baik makanan, minuman atau perlengkapan berselancar karena kawasan belum dilengkapi warung, restoran, hotel atau tempat penyewaan surf board.

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ANDA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;tidak perlu terbang jauh ke Amerika untuk menikmati keindahan air terjun Niagara yang mendunia, karena Curug Malela di Bandung menawarkan pemandangan yang tak jauh berbeda. Kondisi curug dengan bebatuan berundak menampilkan keunikan tersendiri bagi yang melihat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ketinggian curug mencapai 60m dengan lebar 70m. Meski ukurannya lebih kecil dibanding Niagara, namun keindahannya tak kalah. Lingkungan sekitar curug ditumbuhi pepohonan hijau sehingga membuatnya nampak asri. Keindahan alamnya berpadu dengan udara yang menyejukan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Curug Malela terletak di Bandung Barat, tepatnya di Kampung Manglid, Desa Cicadas, Rongga. Lokasinya berada jauh dari permukiman. Anda harus terlebih dahulu melewati jalur yang terjal dan berbatu. Sehabis hujan biasanya jalanan becek dan berlumpur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Konon, penamaan curug berasal dari salah seorang nama tokoh masyarakat sekitar, yakni Lord Spurs Malela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saat berkunjung Anda harus merasakan kesegaran air curug. Namun hindari berenang di bawah aliran air terjun karena sedikit berbahaya. Anda bisa berenang di kawasan yang tak jauh dari air terjun dimana keadaan air lebih tenang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bawalah persediaan makan dan minuman sendiri karena dikawasannya tak ditemukan warung atau kios. Sangat dilarang untuk membuang sampah bekas makanan sembarangan. Jagalah selalu kebersihan kawasan curug agar keindahannya tak terusak oleh sampah.(*/X-14)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;DIEBOGELS&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://diebogells.blogspot.com/2012/05/air-terjun-niagara-mini-di-bandung.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947668967475303377.post-3538219312515705523</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 02:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-05-14T19:42:52.069-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">beach</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Community</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">dunia</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">History</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Hobbies</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">information</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">sejarah</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Surf</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Surfing</category><title>UNESCO Tetapkan Wakatobi Cagar Biosfer Dunia</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 30px;"&gt;UNESCO Tetapkan Wakatobi Cagar Biosfer Dunia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Lima daerah lainnya diterima dengan catatan dan lima lainnya ditolak," ujarnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dengan ditetapkannya Wakatobi sebagai cagar biosfer dunia, maka di Indonesia pada Juli 2012 akan mempunyai sebanyak delapan cagar biosfer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ada tiga kepentingan yang dilindungi UNESCO dalam menetapkan TN Wakatobi sebagai pusat cagar biosfer dunia tersebut, antara lain kearifan lokal masyarakat, kelestarian lingkungan, dan kepentingan ekonomi masyarakat yang berkelanjutan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kearifan lokal yang dilindungi di Wakatobi adalah menyangkut tradisi budaya masyarakat dalam memperlakukan alam dan mengambil sesuatu dari alam," katanya.

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;HEARTBURN&lt;/span&gt;, yang ditandai dengan rasa sakit dan sesak pada perut bagian atas dekat diafragma terasa mendesak seperti terbakar tentunya membuat kita tidak merasa nyaman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heart burn yang juga dikenal sebagai asam refluks kronis atau penyakit gastroesophageal reflux bisa mengakibatkan komplikasi serius.&lt;br /&gt;Maka itu, daripada mencari pengobatan, lebih baik kita menghindari pemicunya. Apa sajakah itu?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Merokok&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain heartburn, merokok adalah salah satu penyebab utama sakit maag. Merokok dapat melemahkan katup antara perut dan kerongkongan, membuat lemak mencerna garam empedu ke usus kecil sehingga menyebabkan heartburn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. Kebanyakan makan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terlalu banyak makan, terutama makanan berlemak akan memicu heartburn. Piza ukuran besar dengan minuman bersoda mungkin terlihat seperti makanan ideal di waktu libur, tapi hati-hati, ini bisa menjadi salah satu alasan utama mengapa Anda mungkin menderita heartburn. Ditambah makanan berkalori, pertu Anda mungkin meregang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. Olahraga&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jika Anda menderita heartburn, jenis latihan seperti sit-up dapat memberikan tekanan ekstra pada perut, mendorong asam lambung kembali ke kerongkongan. Hal ini menyebabkan munculnya heartburn. Hindari juga latihan yang berhubungan dengan posisi tertentu seperti headstands dan yoga yang membalik aliran alami perut. Jangan pula berolahraga dengan perut kosong dan tunggu dua jam setelah makan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. Obat-obatan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kadang-kadang, banyak mengonsumsi obat juga dapat menyebabkan heartburn. Konsumsi rutin obat-obatan seperti aspirin dan nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), ibuprofen, naproxen, dan Celebrex dapat menyebabkan heartburn. Maka itu, jangan sembarangan minum obat ini kecuali dengan resep dokter.

information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good 
over the next 6 days. A general guide to surfing at Batu Karas can be 
found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our 
Batu Karas surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power)
 that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or 
the period. If you surf the same spot (Batu Karas) regularly then make a
 mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time 
you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the 
wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind
 conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also
 find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts
 as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced
 users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under
 the tide times).
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;
    Further information to help with frequently asked questions about 
our surf forecast for Batu Karas may be found under the help tab on the 
top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the 
surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast
 is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break 
influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef 
profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

As documented in various surfing documentaries (including "Fair Bits") other objects have occasionally been used instead of surfboards, including water skiis, wakeboards, desks, guitars, and doors.

The predominantly Westerly winds generate swells that advance Eastward, so waves tend to be largest on West coasts during winter months. However, an endless train of&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-latitude_cyclone" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="Mid-latitude cyclone"&gt;mid-latitude cyclones&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;cause the&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobar_%28meteorology%29" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="Isobar (meteorology)"&gt;isobars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;to become undulated, redirecting swells at regular intervals toward the tropics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

These lows produce a shorter fetch than polar fronts, however they can still generate heavy swells, since their slower movement increases the duration of a particular wind direction. The variables of fetch and duration both influence how long wind acts over a wave as it travels, since a wave reaching the end of a fetch behaves as if the wind died.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Able to generate waves with up to 10 foot faces, the specialized pump held water in 20 vertical tanks positioned along the back edge of the pool. This allowed the waves to be directed as they approach the artificial sea floor. Lefts, Rights, and A-frames could be directed from this pump design providing for rippable surf and barrel rides. The Ocean Dome cost about $2 billion to build and was expensive to maintain.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfing#cite_note-4" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The Ocean Dome was closed in 2007.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

However, waves can be found wherever there is coastline, and a tight-knit yet far-reaching subculture of surfers has emerged throughout America. Some historical markers of the culture included the&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodie" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="Woodie"&gt;woodie&lt;/a&gt;, the station wagon used to carry surfers' boards, as well as&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boardshorts" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="Boardshorts"&gt;boardshorts&lt;/a&gt;, the long swim shorts typically worn while surfing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Sidewalk surfing has a similar feel to surfing and requires only a paved road or sidewalk. To create the feel of the wave, surfers even sneak into empty backyard swimming pools to ride in, known as pool skating. Eventually, surfing made its way to the slopes with the invention of the&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snurfer" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="Snurfer"&gt;Snurfer&lt;/a&gt;, later credited as the first snowboard.

Once the wave begins to carry the surfer forward, the surfer stands up and proceeds to ride the wave. The basic idea is to position the surfboard so it is just ahead of the breaking part (white water) of the wave. A common problem for beginners is being able to catch the wave at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Conversely, a surfer who takes off on the shoulder often becomes an obstacle for more skilled surfers taking off in the 'impact zone' and is deemed a shoulder hopper. Surfers' skills are tested by their ability to control their board in challenging conditions, riding challenging waves, and executing maneuvers such as strong turns and cutbacks (turning board back to the breaking wave) and&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;carving&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;(a series of strong back-to-back maneuvers).

As a wave breaks, if the conditions are ideal, the wave will break in an orderly line from the middle to the shoulder, enabling the experienced surfer to position him / her self actually inside the wave as it is breaking. This is known as a tube ride. If you are watching from shore, the tube rider may disappear from view as the wave breaks over the rider's head. If the surfer succeeds in bulleting out of the tube, it was a great ride. The longer the surfer remains in the tube, the more successful the ride. Some of the world's best known waves for tube riding include Pipeline on the North shore of Oahu, Teahupoo in Tahiti and G-Land in Java. Other names for the tube include "the barrel", and "the curl".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Hanging Ten refers to having both feet on the front end of the board with all of the surfer's toes off the edge, also known as [nose-riding].

Surf camps for beginners and intermediates are multi-day lessons that focus on surfing fundamentals. They are designed to take new surfers and help them become proficient riders. All-inclusive surf camps offer overnight accommodations, meals, lessons and surfboards. Most surf lessons begin by instructors pushing students into waves on longboards. The longboard is considered the ideal surfboard for learning, due to the fact it has more paddling speed and stability than shorter boards. Funboards are also a popular shape for beginners as they combine the volume and stability of the longboard with the manageable size of a smaller surfboard.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfing#cite_note-6" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[7]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Paddling out requires strength but also the mastery of techniques to break through oncoming waves (&lt;i&gt;duck diving&lt;/i&gt;,&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;eskimo roll&lt;/i&gt;). Drop in positioning requires experience at predicting the wave set and where they will break. The surfer must pop up quickly as soon as the wave starts pushing the board forward. Preferred positioning on the wave is determined by experience at reading wave features including where the wave is breaking.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfing#cite_note-7" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[8]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

For which AbaY counted as Asia's Surfing Mecca, ever since the 1960s. Due to Sri Lanka's long civil war this remote half moon shaped Bay has been almost unknown to any other visitors and tourists. The consistent swell, long runs, shark free, permanently warm (28C) crystal clear waters, relaxed life onshore and budget accommodation however has elevated Arugam Bay onto the international surfer's map. In June 2010 ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) held a successful international competition at A-Bay – as it's known – which was won by Australian Julian Wilson.&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="external autonumber" href="http://www.aspworldtour.com/tag/julian-wilson/page/3/" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url(data:image/png; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #3366bb; padding-right: 13px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;. Arugam Bay is often mentioned to be in the top 10 of the world's surf spots, due to a basket of favorable factors. The average wave height however rarely exceeds 3–4 Meters. Most of the resort was wiped off in the 2004 Tsunami when AbaY suffered a direct hit by a 16–18 Meter wave, caused by its long coral reef located at the Main Surf Point also known as "Upali's" point. Other known surf breaks nearby are Pottuvil Point, Whisky Point, Okanda Bay, Panama, Green Room, Urani. "Arugam Surf" is Sri Lanka's first and rather remarkable, popular Facebook page with 27,000 fans giving almost daily updates of relevant events from the Bay itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Bells Beach is a straight stretch and the beach in the film is a cove with spruce trees atop a hill. The actual location of the film was a beach called Indian Beach, in Ecola State Park, located in Cannon Beach, Oregon, USA. Bells Beach is visited in the 1966 documentary film The Endless Summer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The event was formerly known as the Bells Beach Surf Classic. The competition was first held in January 1961 and then at Easter every year since although occasionally, when conditions at Bells aren't suitable, the competition has been transferred to other breaks such as Johanna.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

He charged one pound per surfer to recover his expenses. This is now part of the Torquay to Anglesea walking track.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It has been divided up into several sections, including, from the top of the point, Kitchen Windows, Magna tubes, Boneyards, Supertubes, Impossibles, Tubes, the Point, and Albatross. "Supertubes", which itself breaks for about 300m or more, is regarded as the best part of the wave. On rare occasions (large wave sizes, wide-breaking waves, and even swells), Boneyards can link up all the way to the Point for a ride over one kilometer long. The most consistent waves occur between about May to mid September, also often coinciding with offshore winds, although good waves can occasionally occur at other times of the year.&lt;sup class="Template-Fact" style="line-height: 1em; white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"&gt;&lt;span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from September 2011"&gt;citation needed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Punta Roca (also called "La Punta" by local surfers) has been the perfect spot for many known surfers who back in the 1970s discovered the point with only a few local surfers brave enough to venture into its rocky bottom plane. It is known that legend Gerry Lopez, travelled frequently to this surf spot back in the 1970s encouraging a new wave of locals to get into the sport. By the 1980s, El Salvador went through a civil war, and getting to the point was rather dangerous slowing visitors, and with that, a scarcity of surf boards to the locals whose only means of getting a surf board was by travelers leaving them behind in exchange of guidance and accommodations. Local legend, "Yepi" was one the first of his generation to take on full self-support and help maintain the sport, a popular activity among locals. Locals have also been increasing the popularity of the sport throughout the country by offering custom surf tours to tourists and visitors in the region.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

On a good 6 to 8 feet day (Hawaiian scale), the top part of the point produces the best waves, giving a ride of about 300m or more. The wave features a relatively easy takeoff with long, fast, powerful walls, with longer hollow barrels on the best days. This wave works from about 3 to 12 feet (Hawaiian scale), and can barrel anywhere along the point, but most often closest to the takeoff area. The main takeoff is close to a dangerous rock which often sticks out of the water, and has caused injuries. It works on all tides, although low tide probably has more barrels. The wave is unusual in that it often breaks at a slight angle to the shoreline, hitting it slightly squarely, creating powerful and fast walls. It can be difficult to get out the back in large swells, and the rocky shoreline is notorious for its rather difficult entry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

A number of international competitions such as the&lt;a class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ESPN_X_Games&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="ESPN X Games (page does not exist)"&gt;ESPN X Games&lt;/a&gt;, and the MexPipe Challenge have taken place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Peniche is a year round destination with swell exposure on the north side of the town and shelter on the south. The town also sits at the dividing point between the cooler and wetter north and the dry, sunny south meaning that summers are long but tempered by cool sea breezes and the winters mild though occasionally stormy.

Rip currents are water channels that flow away from the shore. Since these currents lurk in seemingly calm waters, tired or inexperienced swimmers or surfers can be swept away. A rip current can have a width of up to forty or fifty feet. However, by paddling parallel to the shore, a surfer can easily escape the rip current. Alternatively, surfers use rips to help them get out to waves.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfing#cite_note-16" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[17]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

If a surfer falls while riding a wave, the wave will then toss him around, usually downwards. At reef breaks and beach breaks, surfers have been seriously injured or even killed because of a violent collision with the sea bed, the water above which can sometimes be very shallow, especially on beach breaks during low tide.

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Kesehatan adalah keadaan sejahtera dari badan, jiwa, dan sosial yang memungkinkan setiap orang hidup produktif secara sosial dan ekonomis.
- Pemeliharaan kesehatan adalah upaya penaggulangan dan pencegahan gangguan kesehatan yang memerlukan pemeriksaan, pengobatan dan/atau perawatan termasuk kehamilan dan persalinan.
- Pendidikan kesehatan adalah proses membantu sesorang, dengan bertindak secara sendiri-sendiri ataupun secara kolektif, untuk membuat keputusan berdasarkan pengetahuan mengenai hal-hal yang memengaruhi kesehatan pribadinya dan orang lain.
- Definisi yang bahkan lebih sederhana diajukan oleh Larry Green dan para koleganya yang menulis bahwa pendidikan kesehatan adalah kombinasi pengalaman belajar yang dirancang untuk mempermudah adaptasi sukarela terhadap perilaku yang kondusif bagi kesehatan.[3] Data terakhir menunjukkan bahwa saat ini lebih dari 80 persen rakyat Indonesia tidak mampu mendapat jaminan kesehatan dari lembaga atau perusahaan di bidang pemeliharaan kesehatan, seperti Akses, Taspen, dan Jamsostek.
- Golongan masyarakat yang dianggap 'teranaktirikan' dalam hal jaminan kesehatan adalah mereka dari golongan masyarakat kecil dan pedagang.
- Dalam pelayanan kesehatan, masalah ini menjadi lebih pelik, berhubung dalam manajemen pelayanan kesehatan tidak saja terkait beberapa kelompok manusia, tetapi juga sifat yang khusus dari pelayanan kesehatan itu sendiri.

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;It all starts out innocently enough. A surf lesson, a rented board, just trying it out. But the more you do it, the better you get, the more you like it. Finally, it gets to the point that when the waves are good, you're calling in sick to work. Then it all depends on the waves. Good Waves = Calling in Sick to Work. Finally, you lose your job. You get fired. The wife leaves you, because you're a no-good dead-beat beach bum surfer. You move into a VW van, because the house has been foreclosed on for failure to pay the mortgage. You go to Mexico, in your van, because it's cheaper to live, and the waves are better. It's a downward spiral, but you're the one who wants to surf.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;h1&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;WHAT KIND OF SURFBOARD SHOULD I GET?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;ANSWER:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A long, wide, stable surfboard, about 9 or 10 feet. If you're a kid, go about 8 or 9 feet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr height="72"&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;WHY:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;Because this kind of board will be easier to balance on. You need to get your balance first, get used to the way the board glides along with the wave. It's kind of like the first time you rode a bike. Difficult at first, but once you get it, it's easy, and you wonder why you thought it was so difficult to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THESE STICKS?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;See, you're already starting to talk like a surfer dude. A surfer sometimes calls his board his stick, just like you did in the last question.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;ANSWER:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Check the used boards racks in the surf shops. This might take some time, but it's the best way. You don't need a pretty board, and a few dings is okay. It's not the glass job that's important when finding a board, the important thing is the shape of the board. You can also get a softboard, which are a lot easier to learn on&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;h1&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;WHERE SHOULD I SURF?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="color: red; font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;A&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;NSWER: THE WHITEWATER AWAY FROM OTHER SURFERS:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;Head off down the beach away from any surfers. What you need when you start is whitewater, the wave after it has already crested and broken, and is rolling in long even white lines toward the beach, as in the photo below.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="203" src="http://www.howtosurf.net/images/WAVE-DIAGRAM.jpg" width="360" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="color: red; font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;WHY THE WHITEWATER:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;Everyone starts in the whitewater. That's where you practice standing up and keeping your balance. Once this gets easy for you in the whitewater, then you can go "outside" to the unbroken waves on the smaller days, like the wave in the background of the above photo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="color: red; font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;WHY AWAY FROM OTHER SURFERS:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;It's a safety issue. You're going to find that moving the board around the way you want is tough at first, and until you can paddle and move the board around quickly to where you want to go, it's best to stay out of crowds of surfers. A good part of surfing is just being strong and agile and being able to move the board around in the water quickly and with some degree of control.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;
&lt;table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="115" src="http://www.howtosurf.net/images/bigwave.jpg" width="121" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="left" class="BIGBLUEHEADER" style="color: blue; font-weight: bolder; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;EVEN THE TINY LITTLE GUY IN THE LOWER RIGHT OF THE PHOTO STARTED SURFING IN THE WHITEWATER.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="color: red; font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;THE GOOD NEWS:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;The whitewater down the beach from the crowds of surfers is always uncrowded, and it's just as much fun as more advanced forms of surfing, and especially fun if you've never surfed before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;h1&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;HOW DO I GET MY SURFBOARD OUT THROUGH THE WAVES?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="color: red; font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;ANSWER:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Go straight out through the oncoming whitewater.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr height="72"&gt;&lt;td align="left" height="72"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="color: red; font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;WHY:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Because a surfboard reacts just like a boat when going out through the waves. A surfboard is kind of like a boat without sides, and with a real narrow bottom. The same dynamics of a boat applies to a surfboard when taking it out through the surf. You wouldn't take a boat out through the surf at an angle and expect to have much luck, and it's the same with a surfboard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;
&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="color: red; font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;ALWAYS TAKE THAT SURFBOARD STRAIGHT OUT THROUGH THE WAVES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;
&lt;span class="howtosurfREDITALIC" style="color: red; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: 800;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: 800;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: 800;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HOW DO I STAND UP?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;ANSWER:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;There are two methods of standing up: "The Monkey Method" and "The Knee Method."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" bgcolor="blue"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;THE MONKEY METHOD&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" bgcolor="#dcdcdc"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1) LIE FLAT ON THE BOARD, RIGHT DOWN THE CENTER OF THE BOARD, WITH YOUR FEET JUST TOUCHING THE TAIL END (OVER THE FIN)&amp;nbsp;OF THE BOARD.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;TRY IT ON THE BEACH FIRST:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Lie down on the board, right down the center, with the toes of your feet just touching the tail-end (called the tail block). Think of the sand as the water, and see how your surfboard lies perfectly flat on the sand with the front (called the "nose")&amp;nbsp;of the board just a few inches above the sand. It has to lie this way out in the water, too. That is flat on the water, with the nose just a few inches above the surface of the water. So if the nose is sticking too high in the air when you're lying on it in the water, then slip forward a little to get the board flat on the water. Likewise, if it seems like the nose is down touching the water or close to it, slide a little back on the board until it's flat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" bgcolor="blue" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;THE KNEE METHOD&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

THEN PUSH UP ON YOUR FOOT INTO A STANDING POSITION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;It is also important that in both the monkey method and the knee method, that you&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;START OUT WITH YOUR BOARD FLAT IN THE WATER, AND RIDE THE BOARD FLAT IN THE WHITEWATER&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. If the nose of the board seems high while you're riding, lean forward or try to scoot your feet forward until the nose of the board is down and the board again flat in the water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: 800;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HOW DO I CATCH WAVES?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;div class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="REDITALIC" style="background-color: #cccccc; color: red; font-style: italic; font-weight: bolder; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;1)&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Take the board straight out trough the whitewater to between waist to chest deep. Remember to take the board straight through the waves. The board will react just like a boat, and you wouldn't take a boat out at an angle through the waves, now, would you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left"&gt;&lt;div class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="REDITALIC" style="background-color: #cccccc; color: red; font-style: italic; font-weight: bolder; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;2)&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Turn the surfboard around so the nose of the board is pointing toward shore, while still in the whitewater. Also be sure to stay away from other groups of surfers in the water. This is a safety issue, because you're going to find that moving the surfboard around in the water is difficult at best, and until you can paddle around quickly through the waves, it's best to stay out of crowds. (see&lt;a href="http://www.howtosurf.net/Where%20Should%20I%20Surf.html" style="color: blue; font-weight: bolder; line-height: normal; text-decoration: none;" target="_top"&gt;"Where should I surf"&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="REDITALIC" style="background-color: #cccccc; color: red; font-style: italic; font-weight: bolder; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;3)&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Wait for a long even strip of whitewater to approach you, then get on your board so that it's flat (from nose to tail) in the water, and flat across the width of the board, and at least start out in a stable position on the board.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" class="howtosurfTEXT"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="REDITALIC" style="background-color: #cccccc; color: red; font-style: italic; font-weight: bolder; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;4)&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;So now you're laying on the board pointed toward shore, with the whitewater fast approaching your feet. When the whitewater gets about 2 feet behind you, give the board a couple paddles, and if the board is big and buoyant enough, it should almost catch the wave on its own. At first the wave will bounce you a little. If it bounces too much, wait until you're riding smoothly along on your stomach on the board, then go ahead and stand up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center" colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE RULES OF SURFING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr align="right"&gt;&lt;td align="right" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"&gt;DON'T TAKE OFF IN FRONT OF SOMEONE ELSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr align="left"&gt;&lt;td colspan="2" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The surfer who takes off nearest the peak and catches the wave first has the right of way. Once someone is up and riding, do not attempt to catch the wave if it will place you in their path. This is the number one rule in surfing, and breaking this rule is the biggest cause of altercations among surfers in the water.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="right" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;WHEN PADDLING OUT, STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF RIDING SURFERS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr align="left"&gt;&lt;td colspan="2" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you are paddling out, and another surfer is riding, it is your responsibility to get out of the way and not ruin the surfer's wave. For example, If the surfer is riding toward the left on the wave, it is best to paddle right, parallel to the oncoming wave and out of the rider's way, instead of trying to paddle over the green, open face of the wave and potentially in the path of the rider.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="right" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;DON'T RIDE A LONG BOARD AMONG SHORT BOARD SURFERS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr align="left"&gt;&lt;td colspan="2" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you are riding a "long board,"&amp;nbsp; it is always possible to sit further out than the riders on "short boards"&amp;nbsp;and catch the wave way before the riders on short boards have a chance to catch it. There are some long board riders who ride long boards just because they are not skilled enough to catch waves on short boards. Then they ride in spots where only short boarders ride, and catch the good waves on a regular basis. What they are doing is stealing waves from others, and should be held in the same contempt as horse thieves of the Old West.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="right" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;FIND YOUR OWN SURF SPOT&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;td colspan="2" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;As a beginner, when you are still gaining knowledge about moving the board around in the water and catching waves, it is best to find your own spot away from a break that has numerous surfers riding it. When you surf a part of the beach which no one rides, it is like going back in time to beginnings of surfing when there weren't a lot of surfers in the water.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="right" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;IT'S OKAY TO BE A BEGINNER, BUT DON'T BE A "KOOK"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Everyone starts as a beginner. But as long as you follow the rules, show consideration and make efforts to stay out of the way of others, you will never be a kook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Note :&lt;br /&gt;This take from&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

Stasiun televisi itu juga menyebut pemboman itu adalah bom bunuh diri dan menyebut Al-Qaeda berada di balik serangan itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam siarannya, diperlihatkan jalan-jalan yang penuh dengan lumuran darah dan mayat dalam kondisi hancur. Target ledakan tersebut adalah petugas keamanan Gedung Administrasi Negara dan pos keamanan setempat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pihak oposisi Suriah menyebutkan 250 orang tewas sejak Senin (19/12) lalu, sehari sebelum kedatangan tim pemantau independen.

AS Janjikan Rp 90 Miliar Bagi yang Menangkap Bendahara Al-Qaeda</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.detik.com/content/2011/12/23/1148/Al-Qaeda.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="http://images.detik.com/content/2011/12/23/1148/Al-Qaeda.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Washington - Wow! Amerika Serikat (AS) menawarkan hadiah US$ 10 juta atau setara Rp 90 miliar bagi yang bisa menangkap bendahara kelompok Al-Qaeda. Ini adalah kali pertama seorang bendahara kelompok yang diduga teroris menjadi target penangkapan AS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seperti diberitakan AFP, Jumat (23/12/2011), adalah Ezedin Abdel Aziz Khalil yang juga dikenal sebagai al-Suri Yacine lahir di Suriah pada tahun 1982 yang menjadi buruan AS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asisten Direktur Investigasi Departemen Luar Negeri, Robert Hartung, mengatakan Khalil masuk daftar hitam Departemen Keuangan AS. Pria itu digambarkan sebagai salah satu fasilitator tingkat tinggi Al-Qaeda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Departemen Keuangan menyebutkan Khalil beroperasi di Iran sejak tahun 2005 dan bekerja sama dengan pemerintah Iran.&lt;br /&gt;"Khalil adalah penggalang dana penting bagi Al-Qaeda dan telah mengumpulkan uang dari para donor dan penggalang dana di seluruh wilayah Teluk Persia," begitu yang tertulis dalam pernyataan Departemen Luar Negeri AS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Dia telah menyalurkan uang dalam jumlah besar melalui Iran untuk pimpinan Al-Qaeda di Afghanistan dan Irak," tambahnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Khalik juga disebut bekerja dengan pemerintah Iran dan mengatur pelepasan anggota Al-Qaeda dari penjara Iran. Pria yang berumur 29 ini adalah penggerak dan pengumpul uang Al-Qaeda dari seluruh kawasan Timur Tengah hingga Pakistan dan Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pengumuman pencarian Khalil merupakan program dari "Rewards for Justice" yang telah dimulai pada tahun 1984. Tujuannya untuk memburu para tersangka pelaku teror terhadap AS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Khalil saat ini disebut sedang berada di Iran yang menjadi target dalam program Deplu AS. Deplu AS telah menyiapkan US$ 100 juta untuk pertukaran informasi para tersangka yang diinginkan. Sayangnya, pemerintah AS menolak membahas secara rinci tentang siapa saja yang telah mereka tangkap. Alasannya untuk melindungi informannya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kepala pimpinan Al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, adalah orang yang paling mahal dihargai oleh AS. Kepala al-Zawahiri dihargai US$ 25 juta.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;DIEBOGELS&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://diebogells.blogspot.com/2011/12/wow-as-janjikan-rp-90-miliar-bagi-yang.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947668967475303377.post-9033907909557549112</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Dec 2011 12:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-12-23T04:34:26.602-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">History</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">News</category><title>Taliban Culik &amp; Ancam Eksekusi Mati 15 Tentara Pakistan</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.detik.com/content/2011/12/23/1148/pakistan.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="http://images.detik.com/content/2011/12/23/1148/pakistan.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islamabad - Lima belas tentara Pakistan diculik puluhan milisi saat menyerang sebuah benteng di Provinsi Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Milisi Taliban mengaku bertanggung jawab atas penculikan dan serangan tersebut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seperti diberitakan PressTV, Jumat (23/12/2011), pihak milisi Taliban mengaku bertanggung jawab atas serangan tersebut. Mereka bahkan menyebut 30 tentara Pakistan telah diculik dalam serangan itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seorang polisi lokal, Ejaz Abid, menceritakan serangan tersebut dilakukan pada Jumat pagi ini di sebuah distrik di Provinisi Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, Kanker tulang belakang sangat jarang ditemui. Kasus kanker tulang belakang yang paling banyak terjadi adalah adalah metastasis, yaitu kanker berasal dari bagian lain dari tubuh dan menyebar ke tulang belakang. Ketika kanker menyebar atau berasal di daerah ini, biasanya mempengaruhi satu atau lebih bagian tulang belakang. Jika seseorang mengembangkan kanker tulang belakang, baik primer atau sekunder, ia akan menunjukkan gejala penyakit yang berbeda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanker tulang primer di tulang belakang jarang terjadi. Kanker pada tulang belakang dapat menyebabkan  hancurnya sel-sel sehat tulang penderita. Tumor kanker tidak hanya merusak tulang tulang belakang tetapi juga merusak sumsum tulang belakang penderitanya. Gejala kanker tulang di tulang belakang termasuk rasa sakit, patah tulang dan mati rasa atau kelemahan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rasa sakit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanda paling umum dari kanker tulang di tulang belakang adalah nyeri pada leher atau punggung. Rasa sakit akan terus-menerus dan disertai dengan gejala lainnya. Nyeri ini bisa hanya di daerah belakang, bisa juga menyebar ke anggota badan lain. Pengembangannya tergantung hanya pada lokasi pertumbuhan abnormal. Jika kanker menyebabkan sejumlah kecil peradangan dan iritasi, rasa sakit biasanya tetap di belakang. Jika kanker menekan saraf, rasa sakit berdifusi keluar ke "dahan" yang terkait. Tidak peduli sumber rasa sakit, kanker tulang belakang menyebabkan ketidaknyamanan kronis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kelemahan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jika kanker tempat cukup tekanan pada saraf, seseorang akan menderita kelemahan. Hal ini sebagian besar disebabkan oleh gangguan pada impuls dari tulang belakang. Jika kanker menyebabkan peradangan besar di belakang, otak tidak lagi mampu berkomunikasi dengan baik dengan kaki. Akibatnya, penderita mungkin merasa sulit untuk berjalan, membawa, meraih sesuatu, atau berpegangan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kepekaan berkurang&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanker tulang belakang dapat mempengaruhi sensasi sentuhan. Karena sumsum tulang belakang adalah saraf pusat, peradangan atau tekanan di daerah ini dapat mengakibatkan pengurangan sensasi. Objek mungkin tidak lagi merasa panas atau dingin untuk disentuh.  Serupa dengan ketidakmampuan otak untuk berkomunikasi dengan anggota badan, anggota badan menjadi tidak sepenuhnya berkomunikasi dengan otak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inkontinensia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanker tulang belakang juga dapat menyebabkan inkontinensia. Gejala ini sangat mirip dengan kelemahan, karena tekanan pada saraf tertentu dalam tulang belakang yang bertanggung jawab untuk mengontrol kinerja kandung kemih dan usus. Jika impuls terganggu, dapat menyebabkan seseorang kehilangan kontrol kandung kemih mereka, usus, atau keduanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kelumpuhan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiring perkembangan kanker tulang belakang, seseorang mungkin menderita kelumpuhan. Tergantung pada beratnya kanker, kelumpuhan dapat diisolasi untuk satu anggota badan. Ukuran dan lokasi pertumbuhan menentukan jumlah kelumpuhan, karena kanker bisa sampai ke titik di mana saraf tampaknya putus atau lesi telah terbentuk pada saraf itu sendiri.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;DIEBOGELS&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://diebogells.blogspot.com/2011/04/kanker-tulang-belakang-bagaimana.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
