MUSLIM WEDDING

MUSLIM WEDDING
Perhaps at this point should remember that Indonesia wedding very according to religions, culture and social position of the family. In addition, the family must serect a program that is compromised between the moslim religious tradition and javanese cultural tradition therefore, in setting out to describe a “typical wedding”, I am attempting to describe something that really doesn’t exist. Still, presume we are talking about a Moslem wedding and that at lest one of the coupre comes from west java.
At a mosque wedding, the bride enters the hail some time before her husband, and her female relation will sit with her waiting his arrival. As guest, you quickly notice the importance or traditional attire to the ceremony. The bride will almost certainly be in formal Javanese dress of batik sarong and kebaya. brides from west java will be in white, those from central java and east java, in black. Many hours will have been spent on bride’s hair and make up and the young women of then looks as if they stepeed straight out of some historical drama. Indeed it is amazing the grooms even recognize them.
As the groom arrives he is escorted by close relatives to join this wife at the low table placed between them and the penghulu who conducts the weeding. He is a minister of the mosque whose special duties cover areas such as marriage, divorces, wills and oaths. The penghulu will read the section of the holy Qur’an concerning marriage, talk informally about the couples responsibility to each other and the importance of children.
There will be two official fitness who are high ranking male representative of each family. The will fitness the signing of the ijab qobul, a document based on the Al Qur’an which outlines the duties and responsibilities of the couple.

A DAY IN YOUR LIFE – IN THE YEAR 2020

A DAY IN YOUR LIFE – IN THE YEAR 2020
People used to know more or less how their children would live. Now thing are changing so quickly that we don’t even know what our own lives will be like in a few years. What follows is not science fiction. It’s how experts see the future.
Your daydreaming behind the wheel of your car, but that’s OK. You have it on automatic pilot, and with its high-tech computers cameras, your car “knows” how to get you home safety.
You’re hungry, so you head for the kitchen as soon as you get home. You ordered groceries by computer an hour ago, and you know that by now they’ve arrived. Your kitchen has a two-way refrigerator, which opens to the outsider to accept deliveries. You’ve already paid for the food by having the money subtracted from your bank account. Nobody uses cash anymore
What for lunch? In the old days, you used to stop off to buy a hamburger or pizza. Now you use your diagnostic machine to find out you need more vegetables and less fat. Your food preparation machine makes you a salad.
After lunch, you go down the hall to your home office. Here you have everything you need for doing your work. Thank to your information screen and your new computer, you almost never go into the anymore.
The information screen shows an urgent message from a co-worker in brazil. You set the screen to translate Portuguese into English. As you wait, you think about later, when you’ll have a movie transmitted. What movie should you order tonight?

SMALLPOX

SMALLPOX
Edward Jenner was a simple country doctor who lived in the 18 century. It was he who conquered smallpox, the terrible disease that through the centuries had killed or disfigured countless had killed or disfigured counties victims.
He worked as a country doctor in Cloucestershire, one of the country districts in England. He noticed that a milkmaid who had come to consult him said : “I cannot catch smallpox because I have had cowpox”. Cowpox was a harmless diseases caught from cows in which the hands become covered with small boil-like pimples. Jenner was interested in this. He found that there was a strong belief among country folk that if the had cowpox they could not catch the more serious disease of smallpox.
For nearly 25 years Jenner worked on these ideas. He actually gave people cowpox and found that very rarely did they afterwards get smallpox. The on the 14 May, 1976, he carried out this famous experiment. He effected a small boy named James Phipos with cowpox taken from the hands of a milkmaid. When the boy had barely recovered from this disease, Jenner infected the same boy did not catch the more serious and deadly disease
That was the beginning of vaccination which has saved, and still is saving , many thousands of lives.

THE INTERNET

THE INTERNET
You have heard a lot in praise of the internet a lot of good have been said about the internet : it allows people all over the world to communicate easily and it provides you with all kinds of information. As you are interested, you would like to start to be involved in it but you do not know how to start.
The first thing you need is computer. Those with Pentium processor would be nice, but a 486 is enough. An IBM compatible or a Macintosh will do, but must be equipped with a modem. The higher the modem speed, the better. The minimum is 14,1 kbps (kilobytes per second)
You need a telephone line. If you don’t at have one at home, you might too be able to use the one at the office (naturally with the remission of your boss). This will be your connection to cyberspace.
After you have all of the equipment, you need to contact an internet Service Provider (ISP). Since 1994, the government has issued business licenses for 40 ISP in Indonesian. Some of them like the ones operated by IPTEK-NET and the institute of the Technology Bandung, are not for commercial use.
Most of the ISPs operate in Jakarta, but some offer services in several other cities. PT Pos Indonesia, the state company which runs mail offices nation wide, provides services in 31 cities in the country’s 27 provinces. If you can’t find an ISP in your town, this does not necessarily mean that you have to pay more for the internet. You will be able to venture into Cyberspace, but you will have to pay more for the phone bills. This depends not only on how long you use the phone, but also how far the closest ISP office is for your place.
