so sad when i read newspaper... there was a shocking news, about how Indonesian University student (i don't know how to called it in english, In Indonesian language they were called Mahasiswa). Every day they did a demonstration, to fight Indonesian Government because Indonesian Government made a decision to increases National Oil Price. I was respect with their action before, because most of Indonesian citizens become poor and poor now, and didn't have a any buying power. But now, i really unrespect with their action. They started with anarchist action like burnt a wheel, stopping cars and didn't allow cars pass through the street. Is this what they should doing?? even their not respect Indonesian laws, and do like they could do whatever they like...
so I never blame government if government also use violation to stop them.
because Student always do something use their Intellectual, not use physical violation action.

After work without stress
Karier yang baik belum tentu membuat Anda lebih bahagia di rumah, apalagi jika kesibukan Anda semakin bertambah. Simak tips berikut agar Anda terhindar stres sepulang bekerja.
Anda tentu sangat menginginkan setiap hari berjalan dengan baik dan menyenangkan. Namun, ada kalanya di saat Anda pulang ke rumah sepelas bekerja, dalam keadaan tertekan. Bisa saja disebabkan oleh pekerjaan yang menumpuk, ditambah lagi menghadapi berondongan pertanyaan dari Si Kecil ketika Anda baru saja menginjak halaman depan rumah.
Ada beberapa tips yang bisa Anda coba agar hari-hari sibuk Anda tetap menyenangkan sesampainya di rumah.
1. Jangan Lupa Menyapa
Meski dalam keadaan masih terlalu lelah, menyapa anggota keluarga dengan senyum justru akan mengembalikan mood Anda menjadi baik, lho! Tak ada salahnya memangku buah hati Anda untuk beberapa saat, sebelum Anda melanjutkan langkah menuju kamar untuk mandi, berganti pakaian, dan tidur. Perhatian yang Anda berikan kepada Si Kecil akan memperkecil frekuensi kerewelannya.
2. Berusaha Tetap Tenang
Lupakan sejenak pekerjaan Anda yang menumpuk di kantor. Santailah setiap berhadapan dengan Si Kecil yang rajin bertanya ini-itu kepada Anda, yang memang jarang berada di rumah untuk menghabiskan waktu bersama Anda. Si Kecil tentu rindu dengan dekapan dan cerita dari Anda.
3. Makan Malam Bersama
Ada baiknya Anda memilih makan malam bersama seluruh anggota keluarga, di antara malam-malam yang sering Anda habiskan bersama teman-teman kantor setiap hari. Anda bisa bertukar cerita dengan Si Kecil dan suami di meja makan. Buatlah suasana makan malam Anda sesantai dan sehangat mungkin. Tak ada salahnya Anda sekadar memasak menu ringan favorit suami dan Si Kecil.
4. Sering Menelepon
Saat Anda makan siang, tekan nomor rumah Anda dan buatlah janji dengan Si Kecil. Misalnya, Anda berjanji untuk membawakannya oleh-oleh yang diinginkannya, jika Anda berencana untuk pulang terlambat. Tidak selamanya Anda harus terburu-buru pulang ke rumah hanya untuk menyenangkan seluruh keluarga. Ada kalanya, untuk mengurangi stress, Anda mencuri sedikit waktu dengan menghadiri pesta rekan sekantor selepas bekerja seharian.

dari hal ini bisa disimpulkan bahwa keberhasilan yang utama adalah bukan diukur dari materi semata, melainkan keberhasilan secara materi dan immaterial

An Indonesian National awakening
Indonesian National Awakening
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indonesian National Awakening is a term for the period in the first half of the twentieth century, during which people from many parts of the archipelago first began to develop a national consciousness as "Indonesians".
In the pursuit of profits and administrative control, the Dutch East Indies were imposed upon an array of peoples who had not previously shared a unified political identity. By the start of the twentieth century, the Dutch had formed the territorial boundaries of a colonial state that became the precursor to modern Indonesia. In the first half of the twentieth century, new organisations and leadership developed, in part facilitated by the Dutch Ethical Policy's creation of an educated Indonesian elite. These profound changes amongst the indigenous Indonesian population are often referred to as the 'Indonesian National Revival', and they culminated in Indonesian nationalists' proclaiming independence on 17 August 1945.
Background
In some places, anti-colonial struggles were assembled upon a longstanding and widespread sense of indigenous unity. In the Indies, however, nationalists had to help incubate a national consciousness. Comments Adrian Vickers:
Indonesia's nationalist movement was much slower in its development than that of other countries because the colony had been unified by the Dutch only recently. The newness of 'the Indies' meant that until the early nineteenth century there was no ground on which a nationalist spirit could take roots, no strong links, even including the common enemy of the Dutch, to enable people to conceive of themselves as a nation.
For Vickers, several factors gave rise to a nationalist consciousness: the indigenous print media, urbanization, communism, Islam, education, mass entertainment (such as film, stambul theater, and kroncong music), and suffering under Dutch apartheid. Leading intellectuals such as Kartini, Tirto, and Semaun gave voice and sentiment to the idea of a unified archipelago. These leaders, along with many others, sought to embrace "modernity" and nation, "freedom" (merdeka), and independence. Indigenous voices were suppressed by the Dutch, who disallowed freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, and who extensively spied on dissident organizations. Indeed, only a small number raised their voices against colonialism, with most people avoided the Dutch as best they could and with the aristocracy "content to collaborate." "The modern movement against colonial rule was maintained by the passion and commitment of a few remarkable men and women."
The modern rise of nationalist politics
The Ethical Period's emphasis on education failed to deliver widespread educational opportunities, however, it did provide a Dutch education for the children of the indigenous Indonesian elite. Largely intended to provide clerical labour for the growing colonial bureaucracy, the Western education brought with it Western political ideas of freedom and democracy. During the 1920s and 30s, this small elite began to articulate a rising anti-colonialism and a national consciousness.
During this period the first Indonesian political parties began to emerge; the youth group, Budi Utomo was established in 1908, and the Indische Partij in 1912. The same year, Sarekat Islam was founded; inspired more by Islamic and Javanese mysticism than notions of independence and self-rule. It brought Indonesians together, using the banner of Islam in opposition to Dutch rule, however, it had not nationalist agenda, and was often more anti-Chinese than anti-Dutch. In contrast, the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI), formed in 1920, was a fully-fledged independence party inspired by European politics. In 1926, it attempted a revolution throughout Indonesia through isolated insurrections across Java that panicked the Dutch, who arrested and exiled thousands of communists, effectively neutralising the PKI for the remainder of the Dutch occupation.
Muhammadiyah was established by KH Ahmad Dahlan in Yogyakarta, and Dwijo Sewoyo and some associates formed the Peasant's Insurance Cooperative (Asuransi Jiwa Bersama Bumi Putera) in Magelang.
On 20 July 1913, Suwardi Suryaningrat, who had connections with the Bumi Putera Committee wrote Als ik eens Nederlander was (What if I were a Dutchman?) a striking protest against the plans of the Dutch Colonial Government to celebrate 100 years of Dutch Independence. As a result of this article, Dr Tjipto Mangunkusumo and Suwardi Suryoningrat were tried and sentenced to exile in the Banda Islands. However, they were given the alternative choice of transportation to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, Suwardi pursued studies in field of Education, while Dr Tjipto fell ill and returned home to Indonesia.
In 1918 a proto-parliament, the Volksraad, met for the first time. 39% of its members were native Indonesians. During this year, the Dutch government agreed that at some, unspecified point in the future, Indonesians would be granted self-rule, but in subsequent years did nothing to follow up this aim.
It was not until approximately 1920 that the word "Indonesia" came into its modern usage. Created by an English naturalist to classify the ethnic and geographic area, "Indonesia" was seized upon by nationalists as a word to imagine a unity of peoples. "Previously the Youth Alliances had talked about a separate Balinese nation, Javanese nation, Sumatran nation, and so on, now 'Indonesia' spoke of a single people."[6]
In 1928, the All Indonesian Youth Congress proclaimed its Youth Oath (Sumpah Pemuda), establishing the nationalist goals of: "one country - Indonesia, one people - Indonesian, and one language - Indonesian."
In 1927, Sukarno founded the Indonesian National Party (PNI) in Bandung; it was the first all-Indonesia secular party devoted primarily to independence.[7] In action similar to the Youth Congress, the PNI in 1928 adopted the red and white flag of Indonesia, declared Indonesian the national language, and Indonesia Raya as the national anthem.[citation needed] Bandung was a centre of political intellectual thought, and Sukarno, used the Javanese, Western, Muslim, and socialist ideals that had influenced him and blended them towards a national identity.
Repression of Indonesian nationalism
Political freedoms under the Dutch were limited at best. While Dutch aims to "civilize" and "modernize" the peoples of the Indies sometimes led to tolerance for native publications and organizations, the Dutch also strictly limited the content of these activities.
Like many leaders before him, the Dutch government arrested Sukarno in 1929[8] and placed a virtual ban on PNI. Indeed, the Dutch colonial government repressed many nationalist organisations and jailed a variety of political leaders. Although the Dutch were unable to completely stifle local voices for change, they did successfully thwart widespread agitation. Although nationalist sentiment remained high in the 1930s, real moves towards independence remained stifled. With the dramatic changes of the Second World War, however, political power was recast forever.
End of the colonial state
With the coming of World War II, the political fate of the Indies was suddenly obscure. The islands' Dutch rulers found themselves occupied by Germany in May 1940. Themselves occupied by foreign rulers, the Dutch were in a weak position to guarantee their rule in the Indies. Yet, the colonial government in exile was determined to continue its rule over the archipelago.
In early 1942, Imperial Japan invaded the Dutch East Indies. The Netherlands had little ability to defend its colony against the Japanese army and Dutch forces were over run in little more than a month--a blow that was to end 300 years of Dutch colonial presence in Indonesia. The changes under the subsequent three year occupation were so numerous and extraordinary that the subsequent watershed, the Indonesia Revolution, was possible in a manner unfeasible just three years earlier.[9]
After the Japanese surrendered to the Allies in 1945, the Dutch sought to resume colonial control over the Indies. In these aims, the Dutch obtained the military backing of the British who fought bloody battles on Java to restore Dutch rule. The Indonesian nationalists, despite heavy losses, were not to be deterred. By 1945, an idea of "Indonesia" was seemingly irresistible.

A reason why Indonesian Government increases Oil Price
May, 24th 2008 Indonesian Government increases National oil price. This time Government took not popular decision, but i still think that decision still reasonable and must be executed because if you compare Indonesian Oil price with another country and compare with International Oil price, Indonesia's price still cheap and in very reasonable price. And two thumbs up for Indonesian government, Although next years will have an election, and this policy can makes Indonesian President lost their popularity in next election, but he took a risk to save Indonesian from bankruptcy.
Me as one of Indonesian Citizens, only can support and support what government do. because it's for Indonesia itself.
But as a businessman, I also have a suggestion for government, please do something with government structure. and always do clean government policy.
for all of Indonesian ... please don't be mad with Government policy.
If there is country which their government and their people not in the same direction, this country never be improve.

Water's advantage
Water can reduce the appetite naturally and assist the body in processing and managing fat. If you do not drink enough water, the body will react by retaining as much moisture as possible. One of the results of this is that kidney function will be constrained and toxins will build up in the body. The liver will then work harder trying to rid the body of that poison. That means that the liver’s function of processing fat will not be maximum.
Change your lifestyle by making sure you are consuming enough water. This simple key to better health is inexpensive, powerful and long lasting in terms of helping you reduce the fat in your system over the long run. Healthy people make sure they stay healthy by drinking lots of water, which is inexpensive and really good for you.
