Indonesia wins 2-0, but fall short of qualifying

Rizal Harahap

THE JAKARTA POST/PEKANBARU

Indonesia put in an impressive performance in their 2-0 defeat of Singapore, but still failed to qualify for next year's AFC U-22 soccer championship after finishing a third place at the end of Group E matches in Pekanbaru, Riau on Sunday.

The two goals for the home side, which welcomed Coach Aji Santoso back the sidelines from a four matches suspension, both came in the second half from Agung Supriyanto.

He scored his first goal from the penalty box before finding his second several minutes later. He beat a defender with a swift manuver from the right flank and had the goalkeeper gasping as his thunderous goal blasted into the far post.

The young Indonesians collected 9 points, or just on point behind runner-up Australia, out of a six strong field of competitors. Japan topped the standing with a perfect collection 20-2 goal margin.

Singapore came in fourth with 7 points followed by Timor Leste with 3 points and Macau with no points.

In earlier matches in the day, favorite Japan continued their dominant form with a 5-0 drubbing of another tournament favorite Australie, while Timor Leste chalked up their first victory, a 4-1 over last-placed Macau.

 

Why did Indonesia fail to qualify for next year's AFC U-22?

Most people agree that the family planning programme is desirable for the good of the family and society. But individuals and religious groups differ sharply on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and acceptable.

Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space their children, or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so that both partners can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give each as much attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctors to avoid pregnancy for health reasons. In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the government encourages couples to limit the number of their familities.

Even though birth control has gained in acceptancem opposition to the practice is continous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual outside marriage or that government might impose birth control. Some eligious groups oppose birth control on moral grounds.

Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immortal because they seoarate the purposes of intercourse in marriage-conjugal love and the procreation of children. Although they oppose all artificial birth control, they consider natural family planning to be acceptable.

Indonesia’s Biggest Cinematic Achievement

 

I believe there’s a huge responsibility in adapting the number 1 best selling novel. The book was certainly popular and everybody worships this work of Andrea Hirata. I didn’t expect anything too spectacular from the movie, because as spectacular the book supposedly to be letdown.

Laskar Pelangi is no doubt, one of the best Indonesian movies. It beats the Denias: Senandung di Atas Awan, and Ayat-Ayat Cinta (The Verses of Love). It’s a 5 star masterpiece in Indonesia, but still deserves 4.5-5 Star in Hollywood stage. The movie contains social and educational issues and strongly declares that everyone needs education and every one needs to be educated. We can learn many life lessons from the movie.

I can’t stop saying that Laskar Pelangi is a marvelous picture. As a matter of fact, I can’t even name a flaw! The casts are perfect, as many of the stars are Indonesia leading ang popular actors. Credit to Cut Mini Theo since she brought such a strong performance as a determined teacher. Author Andrea Hirata is a genius since the storyline performance as a determined teacher. Author Andrea Hirata is agenius since the storyline is beautiful, touching, and engaging at the same time. So get yourself boxes of kleenex to watch the movie. Thanks to director Riri Riza and producer Mirra Lesmana for making the good and safe it from being a letdown. Even the author was amazed with the crew’s job and state the movie is better than his original writing. In additions, the movie exposed the scenery in Belitong Island which is beautiful.

A testimony: Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono even considered to watch this big motion picture Laskar Pelangi.

Geyser

 

A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures and increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately 1⁰ F for every sixty feet under the earth’s surface, and pressure increases with depth, the water that seeps down in crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock in the earth interior becomes heated to temperature in excess of 290⁰F. Because of the greater pressure, the water shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot water. The result is a geyser. In order to function, then a geyser must have a source of heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the temperature rises to an unstable point, an opening through which the hot water and steam can escape, and underground channels for resupplying water after an eruption.

Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world including New Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstne National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old Faithfull in Yellow Park. Old Faithfull erupts almost every hour, rising, to a hight of 125 to 170 feet and expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.

What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

The respiratory system, in anatomy and physiology, are organs that deliver oxygen to the circulatory system to be transported to all body cells. The respiratory and circulatory system work together to deliver oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide in a two-phase process called respiration.

The first phase of respiration begins with breathing in, or inhalation. Inhalation brings air from outside the body into the lungs. Oxygen in the air moves  from the lungs through blood vessels to the heart, which pumps the oxygen-rich blood to all the body. Oxygen then moves from the bloodstream into cells, which completes the first phase of respiration. In the cells, oxygen is used in a separate energy-producing process called cellular respiration, which produces carbon dioxide as a by product

The second phase of respiration begins with the movement of carbon dioxide from the cells to the bloodstream. The bloodstream canies carbon dioxide to the heart, which pumps the carbon dioxide-laden blood to the lungs. in the lungs, breathing out, or exhalation, removes carbon dioxide from the body, thus completing the respiration cycle.

Animal testing is a deeply divided subject, with a great deal of passion, emotion, and ideas on both sides regarding the ethic of the practice. Some individuals support animal testing and some others oppose its use.

The scientific community is strongly in favour in animal testing. The medical breakthroughs that have occurred as a result of animal  testing are considered reason enough to continue the practice, with the aim of reducing human suffering and saving human lives. Animal testing aids researchers in finding drugs and treatments to improve health and medicine. Many medical treatments  have been made possible by animal testing, including cancer and HIV drugs, insulin, antibiotics, vaccines,and many more. Animal testing also helps to ensure the safety of drugs and many other substances humans use or are exposed to regularly. Scientists typically use animals for testing purpose because they are considered similar to humans.

The contra on the issue of animal testing is that countless animals are experimented on and then killed after their use. Others are injured and will still live the rest of their lives in captivity. Many of these animals received tests for substances that will never acrually be used for public consumption and use. Animal testing generally costs an enermous amount of money as the animals must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or experimental substances. The price of the animal themselves must also be factored into equation.

As a result of the controversy, regulations and laws should be enforced. At the very least, animal suffering should be minimized and that animals should be respected during their care. lf animal testing is to continue, animals must be abused.
