The fate of American Veterans Differences & Indonesia

Some time ago we just commemorate the independence of the Republic of Indonesia to 66, the successor of independence for our nation is indeed very meaningful, but really we are truly independent? Remember we are with the fighters who have been bloody and in tears only to our nation's next dross that they think will be better than old colonialism era.
Unfortunately, these ideals seem to have accomplished .. check it out. this time not merely want to talk about our troubles, but this time willing to fight for a little bit about our times veterans RI, at least we know. we compare with American war veterans as below.

American Veterans

They are given a decent place to spend the rest of the old days
Compare with Veterans in Indonesia



waiting for the final seconds of their homes confiscated / removed. then they want to live where?

American Veterans

They were awarded compensation fund and health insurance
Compare with Veterans in Indonesia



Still struggling to claim their rights, but if adminpikir anyway. it's not their right, but indeed our brothers OBLIGATION!

American Veterans



They are treated like a hero in the environment where he lives
Compare with Veterans in Indonesia

Only appear for a show of independence 17 August at several TV stations, after that?
Who cares!?

And this what the people who now assume responsibility mandated by our heroes?



While once only for the sake of "stick" red and white flag they are willing to spill blood!
 

Try to compare it again with this one.

A veteran who is no more is an old and had never demanded anything more than a quiet life in the rest of his life
 
or this one?



Still ask for a pay rise, luxury cars, new buildings, let alone the behavior of some members that we are numb.
OK, enough of all that to open our eyes about their fate now, the admin here is not a quasi-hero. but because it is necessary brethren! the state budget will not be discharged only to sympathize O pack their president! not GREAT NATION IS THE VALUE THE NATION SERVICES its heroes? or the sentence was just a decoration to encourage the veterans independence day?

7 Habits of Americans are exemplary!

1. Putting pedestrian.
On crossing the road when the time came for pedestrians, all vehicles must stop. No matter the pedestrian crossing with a girl talk with friends would slow way, or indeed the course like a wedding, they should wait until they got across the street or at least the situation is considered safe.
2. The fate of the equation on the Road.
Position or rank does not apply on the road. Want to governors, mayors, county administrators, four-star general even if a traffic jam so come get jammed. Rarely seen in American cars of local officials escorted by police while sounding the siren. Only police, fire and ambulance in an emergency (emergency) may be sounding the siren and should be prioritized. Any vehicle owned by anyone and should step aside.
3. Opened the door and arrested him.
The point is to open the door and held it behind him so people can pass or open the door, looking into the new rear doors shut, making sure no one behind him. Can be imagined when we opened the door, entered the room, and closed the door knew him know there are people behind us, going to bump his head.
4. Waste In Place.
If there is no trash, garbage will be bagged up to find a place to dispose of it so often someone there to bring garbage to the house. After that, just thrown in the trash. Still associated with it, the habit of clearing the table after a meal in a public place. What we are seeing the time come that is what we see when we go, so to speak principle.
5. Smoking is not arbitrary.
At present all public and private buildings are smoke free zone. For smoking provided a certain area, usually so feet from the door of the building. But recently in government buildings distances smoking area with a door made the building even further, making lazy smokers smoke because they have to walk a long way. Violations of the smoking ban very large fines sanctions so no one dared violate.
6. It's a good habit of public service officers.
Public service officers such as police, sheriff, an employee of the manufacturer's driver's license offices and other government services in the habit of not willing to accept bribes or tips in any form. Kindly explain that they will not be bribed or give tips to the officer and no sanctions, the most severe in jail. So people there are always paying the cost of public service management services in accordance with the tariff. If there is a direct return bagged, not good for long leave money lying on the desk clerk.
7. Saying Good Morning, afternoon or night to people who are not known though.
Greeted each other briefly while making us feel happy because they feel have a fellow human being. Say hello, chat briefly about the weather or the child is still a custom in the middle of the more individualistic American society.
So good kebiasaan2 owned by Americans that we should imitate. Although there are many bad habits in America, but it would be nice if we know the good side first. We take good habits and leave the bad that is not in accordance with the norms that exist in the beloved country Indonesia.

American culture - Indonesia: Abortion


When speaking of abortion cases will never-ending. Abortion has always invited the pros and cons. Abortion itself also refers to the ethical or unethical. Still in terms of comparing American culture and the culture of Indonesia. I am trying to raise the most sensitive topic in the history of human civilization.

 

 
Indonesia
As a country that has a lot of the population, abortion could be one way to control the uncontrollable population. However, because Indonesia is a country based on the religious life are very strong. Abortion becomes something that is illegal, considered against the norms and ethics, both in social and religious ethics.

According to Reuters news agency; In Indonesia reached 2.5 million abortions per year, was allegedly even more than that amount if it is associated with the practice of abortion practices in traditional birth attendants, and so on. Most of the practice of abortion in Indonesia is a deliberate abortion (induced abortion). 70% practice in urban cities of abortion performed in maternity clinics and 84% in rural areas carried out by midwives.
Women who do not want the fetus is due to several factors like pregnancy out of wedlock, pregnant because of rape, the promise of a genetic defect is detected, the reasons for socioeconomic, health, family planning failed, and so on.
But based on Law No. 1 of 1946 on Penal Code explains that by doing an act of abortion for any reason is unlawful, while the Health Act 23 of 1992 allowed abortion for medical reasons, the contents of the Act were conflicting This raises a dilemma for medical personnel, so it takes assertiveness Government in making laws that govern the issue of abortion.



Reading the news on my memory drifted to the events in 1992, when I had a college friend, let's call her Rachael, she was the mistress of an official at Pertamina, Central Jakarta. One day he asked me to drive her to a gynecologist in the number Bulungan, South Jakarta.
In place of practice with it, the Doctor R, consult with Ratna, Ratna known that already contains over 2 months, Rachael is still a student asks for help to abort abortion. Ratna R and referring physicians to come to a clinic in the area of ​​Kramat.
Armed with a physician referral R, I, Ratna taxi ride there. Once down there a few brokers that surround us, for a slim body Ratna, the content of two months has not seen, rather than who they actually thought I was pregnant (damn !!!). because of my body and my stomach menonkol fore ... (damn again). In short the brokers and others refer to a clinic at a rate cheaper than tariff clinic physician referral R.
Attractive hands ensued, several young men sitting sitting in front of rush rush Klink approached us, and tried to persuade us to keep walking toward the clinic doctor R, because we still do not know the field situation, and fear surrounded by many people. We succumb to keep coming to the clinic physician referral R, although the broker's offer price of 200 thousand dollars to another clinic (clinic physician R 500 thousand dollars to fix prices).
We waited for two hours, then comes a car, from the doctor down the R itself. Then the doctor took us into R, and Rachael was told to sign a declaration form. I waited outside, and do not know what and how the process, after 1 hour, Rachael finally being carried out by a midwife.
We immediately called a taxi, Rachael is still weak and drowsy, I go home to his residence between. A few days later, Rachael told me that inside he was only told to lie on the gynecological chair (a chair that there are 2 hooks to put the foot). And given an injection of anesthetic. Samar Samara she heard the doctor who rang a tool shaped vacuum, and finally he fell asleep.
Abortion lasted for more than an hour less, including the recovering of consciousness, without pain, and without guilt. Several months ago I met with Rachael, without being asked, Rachael told me about his story with the Pertamina officials who ended up in the aisle after a successful abort the baby as much as 6 times in the period 1992 to 2000.

 

                                                                             
*************

In America alone, the State which is not based on religion, the practice of abortion is illegal. Under the Reagan administration, there are special funds from the federal to the practice of abortion in foreign countries, funds amounting to nearly $ 110 million was later revoked and suspended by President Obama.
Compare with Indonesia, the United States only documented cases of abortion as much as 820 thousand in 2005. Cases of abortion in America the majority (25%) for wanting to delay the birth. The cost for an abortion average of $ 1260, in which the patient must pay the cost of abortion.
Party insurance and Medicaid did not support the cost of abortion, Medicaid only limiting cases of abortion due to rape, incest, and abortion that could endanger the survival of mother and fetus. In America, social 'organizations joined in support of government efforts in tackling the practice of abortion is by way of establishing the CPC (Crisis Pregnancy Center).
The foundation helps women women who want abortions to carry out the attack, by providing housing and medical aid free of charge up to offer to help adopt her child. In a session of "true life" of a television station, MTV, told a teenager in Hawaii who became pregnant by her boyfriend.
He was referred by the CPC to continue the pregnancy, the pregnancy until the birth of all costs borne by the CPC, then he is allowed to choose the prospective adoptive parents wishing to adopt children. A few hours after his son was born, the CPC immediately carried the baby to new parents. And the mother returned to Hawaii.

 


 

 

 
What about my personal opinion?
I see the abortion of a case by case, if the abortion is done because of free sex, affair, I strongly oppose and condemn the act of abortion. But if abortion is done because the health condition of the mother, the fetus is defective, the case of rape, and economic life, I agree.
Imagine, if the mother gave birth to deformed babies, not just the mother and her family are experiencing psychological distress and mental health, caring for children with disabilities requires great cost and sacrifice. Not to mention if the mother can not guarantee a decent livelihood for the fetus.
Victims of rape, the victim has received gifts and psychological trauma resulting from stoned exhausted his pride, if have the heart if he should accept the risk of caring for a child that is not necessarily able to take care of him. Especially if the victim is still a very young age.

 

 
Thus the article I tried to put forward the midst of differences in American culture and Indonesia.

Website Newbie - Wanna Have Traffic?

No Visitor, no income, nothing. After you’ve gone through nights and days of brainstorming on what to put on your site, what to offer to your visitors, and how will your website look, now you are faced with questions like ‘What now?’, ‘How will the people know about me?’, ‘Why are there no visitors, no sales?’

As a new website owner myself, I also have gone through that tight spot. I think desperation for visitors is really the first phase of any website that has recently been launched. At the first few weeks of my site, I went through so many doubts because I relatively had zero traffic! Is my site really as useful as I think? I changed so many things, from ad placements, colors, etc. thinking that maybe people do not like the colors or that the overall production of what I have to offer is just too drab and uninteresting.

I consulted a friend who owns a website and he taught me a few points which I’m gonna share with you. This disclosure of ideas is, of course, with his permission. So, sit tight and let me share with you what I have found out.

The first thing I learned is to make my website appearance neat and orderly and to avoid colors that are hurtful to the visitor’s eyes. Also, I should try to make everything look good and harmonious. Next is to embed some kind of a traffic monitor in the code so I will know how many visitors I am getting everyday. The traffic monitor can also be used to observe from which referring link the visitors came from. In choosing a traffic monitor, be sure that it could provide the needed stats so that from the stats, a website owner can better optimize his/her site for traffic. Better choose one that is free. I personally recommend http://www.statcounter.com

Next is to make use of every free advertising that I know of. This includes word-of-mouth or telling everyone I know about my site and asking them to spread the word. I also made use of forums where I can advertise for free and most importantly I made use of the thing called ‘site linking’. I exchanged links especially with those sites that have high PR or high search engine rankings. The more important are the sites that have my link, the more important my site becomes.

Another mode of advertising that cost me nothing is to write free reprint articles with my byline or bio at the bottom. Free reprint articles are like crumbs to hungry ants. Everybody loves them, especially if what you’re writing about is of interest. Readers will surely be curious not just about the article but also about the author and what he/she does. This move actually has a dual purpose. Chances are, readers who loved reading the article will click on the link to the site or if not, someday, somehow, the keywords in the article will be crawled by search engines and from there, more readers will be able to read it as a link to the article will be displayed on the search engine’s results page when the keywords are searched, therefore resulting in more chances of gaining traffic.

Speaking of search engines, it is an established fact that 89% of any website traffic comes from search engines like Yahoo, Facebook, MSN and Google. When you land on the first ten of a results page, that will guarantee you instant boost in traffic. Therefore, in order to land on that prestigious spot, a website must be search engine friendly.

For a website to be search engine friendly, it should be constantly updated, teeming with fresh content, and the keywords should be strategically placed.

Actually there are many more ways to build traffic. The ones I mentioned are the ones I have tried and I am happy to add that never did I once regret my moves in building my website traffic. If you decide to follow my simple techniques, expect your website’s traffic to increase from 10 per week to a hundred and then to a thousand. Words of caution though, do not expect these changes to happen overnight. One thing good about owning a website is that it teaches you patience and it teaches you how to learn to work at how to get what you want. }

10 Tips For Saving Cash On Your Gas

Gas prices are getting more and more ridiculous. And it’s going to keep increasing with no limit in sight! For the new car owners out there, do you know that a gallon of unleaded gasoline used to cost only $1.25?

Therefore, it is becoming more and more important to maximize your money and save at the gas station.

So here we have compiled 10 best tips to help you get the most out of your dollar!

Tip 1: Shop Around
This is the advice that you can apply anytime you buy anything. Always shop around. You can get a cheaper price for your favorite brand, and probably a yet cheaper price for a different brand.

Tip 2: Use a Gasoline Credit Card
Gasoline credit cards are great! They can save you 5% – 10% off your gasoline purchase.

Tip 3: Buy Gasoline When the Weather is Cool
Gasoline is denser in cooler temperatures, such as in the morning or at night. Gas stations measure volume, not density, so you'll be getting more solid fuel than vapors, thus improving your overall gas mileage.

Tip 4: Avoid Gas Stations That Just Refilled Their Tanks
When underground tanks are refilled, particles at the bottom of the tank get stirred up, and when these particles get into your gasoline tank, they affect the fuel efficiency of your car.

Tip 5: Don’t Top Off
The gas pump needs time to draw out the full amount of gas, so When you purchase a bit of gas the station, you get short bursts of fuel that you'll probably pay extra for. You should refill your tank when you have less than half a talk left or when you find a price that is so low you cannot afford to miss it.

Tip 6: Don’t Use High Octane Gas
Most cars nowadays are built to run on regular unleaded gas. Purchasing higher octane gas is simply a waste of money. Octane measures how hard it is to ignite gas, not the quality of the gas, so getting higher octane gas will not improve fuel efficiency. You should only get these more expensive gases when your engine pings, knocks or rattles.

Tip 7: Pump Your Own Gas
It's cheaper to pump your own gas at the self-serve stations rather than using the full-serve pumps. Full-serve gasoline naturally costs more.

Tip 8: Lessen the Use of Air-Conditioning
This tip is simple enough. Air-conditioning uses electricity, and they can reduce fuel economy by up to 20%. It's advisable to use the air ventilation system instead.

Tip 9: Plan Your Trip
You can avoid unnecessary driving by planning your trip before hand, and of course that saves you money on gas consumption.

Tip 10: Purchase Vehicles That Get Good Mileage
This is probably one of the best tips anybody can give on saving money at the gas pump. It's always better to purchase vehicles that get good gas mileage. Check with your car dealer about cars that have better fuel economy.
