Banyak di antara kita yang sudah mengetahui kenikmatan hidup ini akan berlomba-lomba untuk terus berusaha dan berdoa menjadi yang terbaik dengan terus bersemangat.

Pernahkah kalian mendengarkan ungkapan chairil anwar yang sangat terkenal berbunyi, � sekali berarti setelah itu mati �. Ungkapan tersebut mengan dung makna yang sangat dalam bila kita kaji lebih dalam. Apa makna yang terkandung di dalamnya? Kita sebagai seorang manusia di tuntut untuk bersikap dan berusaha semaksimal mungkin untuk menunjukan eksistensi kita sebagai seorang pemimpin dunia sesuai dengan kodrat kita. Untuk melakukannya, tidak hanya dengan dibayangkan saja. Akan tetapi harus juga menyentuh pada sebuah realisasi nyata dengan usaha dan doa. Berkaitan dengan hal ini, ada baiknya jika kita bersemangat, berbuat yang terbaik semampu kita seakan-akan jika inilah akhir dari hidup kita dan tidak ada lagi kesempatan hari esok. Dengan begitu, tentu kita akan lebih terpacu untuk dapat melakukan sesuatu yang sangat terbaik karena dorongan jika inilah kesempatan puncak dan tak ada lagi bagian berikutnya.

Seperti itulah semangat muda. Semangat yang selalu membara menggebu-gebu menonjolkan keseriusan, ambisi, dan antusiasme yang besar untuk dapat mencapai hasil yang terbaik. Inilah semangat yang membara dan tak akan pernah padam oleh apapun. Pernahkah kita merasakan semangat yang demikian ini?

Usia boleh menua, tapi jiwa tetap muda!

Teruslah berlari untuk mengejar semua mimpi.
Dengan semangat, apapun akan berujung nyata.
Dengan semangat, apapun akan berakhir bahagia.
Tetap berlari, terus melangkah penuh semangat hidup!

Facts About the Nazca Lines

The Nazca lines of Peru tell an intriguing tale. But what tale is that?
Who created the Nazca lines? What purpose did huge geoglyphs,stretching miles out over the Nazca desert serve? Why did creators of the Nazca lines construct giant sketches that can only really be appreciated from a topographical vantage point?

The lines of Nazca are believed to have been hundreds of years in the making and would have involved many workers and much toil. But to what end?
In modern times, the birth of commercial airlines led to rediscovery of the Nazca lines. Passengers flying over the Peruvian desert noticed what looked like mammoth landing strips splayed out in the desert below.

The area where the Nazca art was found is called the Pampa Colorada or the red plain. This area runs parallel to the Andes and the Pacific Ocean.
Investigation has shown that the lines of Nazca were made by removing the darker, iron-oxide coated pebbles to expose the lighter dessert sub-layer. It is believed that simple tools and
surveying equipment were used to create the Nazca geoglyphs. a wooden stake found at the site supports this theory.
Consensus among researchers is that the Nazca lines were constructed by the Nazca people and depict images similar to what has been found in other samples of Nazca art.

The Nazca symbols depict life in its many forms: aquatic animals, birds, reptiles, jungle inhabitants and flowers and plants. Additionally, humanoid shapes and human implements such as yarn and looms are also represented.
Geometric symbols, such as trapezoids, spirals and concentric circles, triangles and parallel lines create a busy pattern on the desert floor. Some of the largest Nazca geoglyphs are the pelican, 285m long; the Guano bird, 280m long; the lizard, 180m long; and the
whale, 65m long.

Facts About the Nazca Lines
The lines of Nazca were constructed throughout the pre-Hispanic period and make up a distinctive and impressive archaeological group, comprising some 300 figures.
The Nazca drawings have well-defined entrances, where people may have gathered.
Certain areas appear to be roadways and show signs of wear.
Nazca art shows a correspondency to Nazca cultural changes.
Some of the figures are depicted with deformities.
The dry Nazca dessert climate and windless conditions preserved the ancient art.

The Nazca lines are considered the most outstanding group of geoglyphs found in the world.
Theories About the Nazca Lines
In the 1968 book, Chariots of the Gods, author Erich Von Daniken theorized that the lines formed a landing field and were built by ancient astronauts. In 1977, Jim Woodman proposed that the Nazca lines were viewed from hot air balloons as part of ancient ceremonial flights.
The giant Nazca drawings most likely had a sacred purpose, as is evidenced in the sheer labor undertaken to create them.

Nazca Geoglyphs: Endangered in Modern Times In modern times, natural forces have impacted on the Nazca lines.
Climactic changes around the world pose a threat because heavy rainfall and flooding could impact the Nazca dessert art.
Treasure hunters seeking pre-Inca artifacts are defacing the ancient art. Mining with its associated truck traffic is also taking a toll.
Pollution and erosion caused by deforestation are impacting the lines of Nazca.

Whatever the reason for the creation of the Nazca lines in the Peruvian desert, ancient and skilled people collaborated to leave an impressive record for posterity--one that, it is hoped, will remain for future generations.

Malioboro street, souvenirs paradise

Malioboro is one of a street name in the city of Yogyakarta,Indonesia. If u have the opportunity to visit Yogyakarta, do not forget to come over to Malioboro to shop! There�s a saying : � If you didn�t visit Malioboro, then you weren�t going to Yogya! �Because malioboro is one of the tourist main attraction. Along the street you can buy all crafts, gifts, batik, almost everything typical of Yogyakarta, even Balinese craft!

I believe when you visit Yogyakarta, everyone will recommend you to visit this street. But, please keep this in mind, always be aware! specially when you were travelling alone without local friends or trusted guides, because there are scammers, they�re looking for tourist and offer you paintings or exhibition and told you that it from famous local artist and offer you price with several amounts of money, etc. And all you need is to say No,and leave them immediately! And If you would like to buy several things, remember to always bargain HALF PRICE! yes HALF PRICE,because basically they differentiate the price between local and international tourist. I will recommend you to buy in an official shop if you didn�t want to get ripped off!

But anyway, that�s just a few tips from me. Overall, it�s a great place to visit. A very unique street with traditional trader. You can buy raditional crafts all along the street and there�s one big mall in the middle of the street and inside the mall, there are several artisan gallery, but of course the price will be different from the street artist.

There are many ways to explore Malioboro, but the unique one is to explore it with Becak. Becak is traditional cycle rickshaw that driven by a human power, it�s gasoline free and refreshing. To me that�s just a nice way to explore Malioboro or even Yogyakarta, and remember! Always Bargain! Yogyakarta people are very humble and bargaining is just one of proper way to show humbility. Do not afraid to low down the price.

I believe, If you ever visited this place, you will always want to return! This is one of my favorite! Have a nice shopping in Malioboro!

MENGATASI MASALAH

Hidup ini penuh liku-liku, begitu yang biasanya diungkapkan banyak orang.
Jika kita cermati lebih mendalam, hal itu memang ada benarnya. Mengapa demikian?
Sebab hidup tak selamanya sejalan dengan apa yang kita harapkan.

Saat kita berada pada kondisi dimana tidak ada lagi masalah yang kita hadapi, hidup kita memang terasa benar-benar nyaman dan membahagiakan. Akan tetapi, jika hidup kita sedang ditimpa sebuah masalah, hidup kita pun akan berubah berkebalikan menjadi hidup yang terkesan menyusahkan dan menjengkelkan.

Saat menghadapi masalah, sikap yang harus kita tekan kan adalah bersabar. Ssabar merupakan satu-satu prioritas sikap yang harus kita dahulukan guna mendapatkan sebuah kondisi diri yang tetap stabil. Setelah tenang karena bersabar, apa yang dapat kita lakukan selanjutnya? Kuatkan hati dan pikiran kita untuk tetap tegar menghadapi masalah. Masalah adalah sebuah cobaan bagi kita, untuk menguji seberapa besar iman dalam hati kita, itulah yang dikatakan agama kepada kita. Tetaplah optimis melangkah ke depan. Yakinlah jika tidak akan mungkin ada sebuah masalah yang lebih besar darpada besarnya keagungan tuhan yme.

Apakah cukup sampai di situ usaha kita? Tidak.
Pikirkan apa yang membuat kita terjatuh ke dalam permasalahan tersebut. Setelah tahu, pahami dan gunakan potensi pikiran yang kita punya agar dapat membuat diri kita untuk tidak lagi terjatuh dalam permasalahan yang sama. Sungguh sebuah hal yang bodoh bukan jika kita terus menerus terjatuh dalam lubang yang sama tanpa pernah bisa mempelajarinya?

Setelah koreksi diri pribadi selesai, kini adalah saatnya bagi kita untuk bangkit!
Kita adalah makhluk paling sempurna di antara semua makhluk yang tercipta. Sejatinya kita sebagai manusia merupakan sang pemimpin di dunia ini. Jika kita ingin menjadi orang sebesar itu, apakah mungkin bisa terjadi jika kita sudah terhenti dengan masalah seperti ini?
Kendalikan segala emosi, tanamkan keyakinan hati, dan kuatkan diri untuk menutaskan masalah yang dihadapi. Jangan pernah ragu untuk melangkah maju, karena sesungguhnya ada kesuksesan besar yang menanti keberhasilan kita di depan sana. Sekali lagi, gunakan potensi diri untuk mengatasi setiap permasalahan yang ada.

Jika kita telah berhasil menghadapi sebuah masalah, bukan berarti kita telah sepenuhnya menang. Sebab, hisup ini penuh perjuangan yang tak akan pernah lepas dari masalah. Ke depannya, kita pun mungkin akan menemui masalah yang sama jika kita tidak berhati-hati dan pasti akan menemui masalah yang baru. Tetaplah waspada, gunakan keyakinan dan kesabaran untuk menghadapi setiap masalah yang datang.

Percayalah, jika tidak akan ada sebuah masalah yang tak terselesaikan. Dan percayalah jika setiap masalah kita sesulit apapun akan selalu dimudahkan oleh yang maha memudahkan.

Facebook Shutting Down on 15th March !!

FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th!

PALO ALTO, CA �Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has
become too stressful.
�Facebook has gotten out of control,� said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, �and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.�

Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th,users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.
�After March 15th the whole website shuts down,� said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. �So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won�t be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of business.�

Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.
�I personally don�t think it�s a big deal,� he said in a private phone interview. �And to be honest, I think it�s for the better.
Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That�s always a good thing.�

Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.
�What am I going to do without Facebook?� said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. �My life revolves around it. I�m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day.
Now what am I going to do with all that free time?�

However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief.
�I�m glad the Facebook nightmare is over,� said Jon Guttari, a
single parent from Detroit. �Now my teenager�s face won�t
be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even
have a conversation with her.�

Those in the financial circuit are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9
billion.
But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He says he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe.
�I don�t care about the money,� said Zuckerberg. �I just want my old life back.�

The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes,links, and videos will be permanently erased.

CINTA DAN KASIH SAYANG

Cinta itu indah.
Seperti yang sering kita rasakan dan utarakan, cinta adalah sebuah anugerah dari yang maha kuasa untuk para hambanya.

Berkaitan dengan posisi cinta dalam hidup kita, munculah rasa sayang yang terpendam dalam hati kita semua. Samakah antara cinta dan kasih sayang ini? Ternyata tidak.
Cinta menggambarkan bagaimana kita merasakan sebuah ikatan dengan pasangan dimana ikatan tersebut terselip rasa atau keinginan untuk terus bersama, melindungi, menghargai, membahagiakan, dan memiliki sepenuh hati. Lalu, bagaimana dengan sayang? Sayang memiliki tingkatan lebih tinggi di atas cinta. Mengapa? Karena rasa sayang itu timbul pada pasangan kita berdasarkan rasa empati atau perasaan yang paling dalam yang kita punya.
Pernahkah mendengar ungkapan jika cinta tak harus memiliki? Nah, begitulah kira-kira ungkapan sebuah rasa kasih sayang kita kepada pasangan kita. Sejatinya seseorang yang memiliki rasa sayang yang dalam selalu ingin membuat pasangannya selalu merasakan kebahagiaan dalam hidupnya meskipun itu semua tidak didapatnya dari dirinya, tetapi orang lain.

Cinta dan kasih sayang itu saling mengisi dan melengkapi dalam hubungan percintaan kita. Hidup yang hanya berlandaskan cinta akan cenderung bersifat posesif, karena kita seakan tidak memberikan kebebasan ruang bagi pasangan kita untuk sekedar sedikit mendapatkan kebahagiaan dari orang lain. Akan tetapi, percintaan yang terlampau menonjolkan sayang juga kurang baik. Mengapa? Hal ini akan cenderung membuat kita asal-asalan dan masa bodoh dengan pasangan kita. Bagaimana bisa?tentu, seseorang yang hanya menjunjung tinggi rasa sayangnya tanpa cinta hanya akan mementingkan pasangannya itu selalu merasa bahagia, entah itu dari diri kita atau dari orang lain. Ingat, pasangan itu milik kita. Terlepas dari sikap posesif yang sering dipermasalahkan, ketahuilah jika pasangan kita selalu membutuhkan pengakuan, pengayoman, dan naungan dari diri kita sebagai lelaki. Kebanyakan merasakan sayang daripada cinta justru membuat kita merasa kurang sepenuhnya memilkinya.

Cinta dan kasih sayang memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing. Karena itu, gunakanlah kejelian kita untuk membedakan dalam melakukan, sikap atau rasa mana yang harus kita dahulukan dan sikap atau perasaan mana yang sejenak perlu kita kesampingkan tergantung dari masing-masing situasi dan kondisi yang dihadapi.

Tetap bersemangatlah dalam menjalin hubungan percintaan dengan pasangan kita. Lakukan segala sesuatunya dengan hati, karena apapun yang berawal dari hati pasti kembalinya akan ke hati juga. Tuluslah dalam memberikan rasa cinta dan ksih sayang kita kepada pasangan. Ingat juga jika perlakukan pasangan kita sebagaimana kita ingin diperlakukan. Ingat hukum sebab akibat, ingat hukum aksi reaksi. Semakin kita mencintai dan mengasihi pasangan kita, semakin juga kita dicintai dan dikasihi oleh pasangan kita. Optimalkan rasa cinta dan kasih sayang dalam hubungan percintaan kita untuk mewujudkan hidup yang penuh bahagia.

Selamat berjuang kawan..

Power Balance Bracelet, is a fraud

authorities in Australia say Power Balance Bracelet, is a fraud

authorities in Australia say Bracelet Power Balance, is a fraud. Power Balance Bracelet is touted to provide balance, strength and better flexibility for users using the natural energy fields originating from the wearer �s body.

�Power Balance has recognized that there is no credible scientific basis to strengthen the claim such benefits, thus there is no reasonable grounds to support the statement bracelet benefits of this power balance, � said chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Graeme Samuel, as quoted from SMH.com.au, Tuesday (04/01/2011).

Samuel said that when a product is promoted, sold in stores of major sporting and used by celebrities and athletes, so
consumers tend to give a certain legitimacy to the product.
Ad Sound Power Balance Bracelet apologize in the Australian media on December 23, 2010:
�In our ads state that bracelet Power Balance can improve strength, balance and flexibility you.
We acknowledge that there is no credible scientific evidence that
supports our claims and therefore we are involved in the act of misleading and violated article s52 of the Trade Practices Act (Trade Practices Act) 1974.
If you feel you have been misled by this campaign we apologize unconditionally and offer a full refund. To get a refund please visit our website at www.powerbalance.com.au or call in toll free number 1800 733
436

This offer will last until June 30, 2011. In order for the refund requirements are met together with the cost of shipping, you need to return the original product Power Balance along with proof of buy (including credit card records, barcode and receipt)
from an authorized reseller in Australia.
Notice of this correction has been paid by the Power Balance Australia Pty Ltd as a promise to the Australian Competition and
Consumer Commission pursuant to paragraph 87B Trade Practices Act, 1974. �

Previously, Greg Whyte scientists from Liverpool John Moores University, said physical activity by itself will increase the
absorption okksigen so stamina increases. Even if these silicone bracelets can further boost your stamina, it �s just the placebo
effect. authorities in Australia say Bracelet Power Balance, is a fraud.But even if it smacks of a placebo effect, nobody is prepared to miss the boat - or take the mickey out of it just in case it works.

The US-based company, through its website and Australian sales reps, is happy to put the Power Balance bands to the test. But the test, a string of exercises that are improved after the subject puts
on the band, is clearly open to interpretation. One interpretation is that the subject grew stronger after putting
on the band. Another is that the exercises will always be performed more effectively the second time around, band or not.
In fact, a recent Today Tonight report conducted blind tests where the subjects did not know if they had a hologram in their pocket.

A Power Band representative failed to pick the holder of the Power Band device every time. But none of this has stopped the runaway success of the bands. Adelaide physical performance manager Stephen Schwerdt, a leader in his field, said several of the Crows had had a crack at wearing them, more in their day-to-day chores than specifically in training or on match day.

As is the club's philosophy, he has kept an open mind, but he knows of no research that validates the claim.
"We keep an open mind; that's our approach to all of these
things," Schwerdt said yesterday as the Crows went through their final training session ahead of today's game against Sydney at West Lakes.

"We had a guy who gave us some of them, and by that time, some of the guys had bought their own, so quite a few of them have tried them out. But I haven't seen too much of them lately.
Maybe the novelty has worn off.
"It's whether it stands the test of time that will decide."
But all sporting organisations face a dilemma with the bands. If they do what they claim to do, surely they should be banned because they are performance enhancers.

It is claimed the wonder band can increase an athlete's core strength and power by as much as 500 per cent. Have a think about that. Does that mean a man who can bench press 100kg can all of a sudden lift 500kg?...
