Candidates for North Korean Leader Not Passing the Exam

North Korean propaganda machine began to work, in order to rally support for "the crown prince", Kim Jong-un. The mass media red plate called the youngest son of the late Kim Jong-il as "outstanding leader" aka "extraordinary leader".

Little is known of the young 28-year figure that is not much to say that. However, his story while studying in Switzerland, might be able to describe the character of candidates for North Korea's supreme leader. Experience in the western world, which raises hopes, komuis country it would be more open. Or maybe there was no effect at all.

As the site loaded the Daily Mail, December 22, 2011, at age 15, his father Kim Jong-un enroll in expensive schools, International School of Berne, which annually costs currently account for 16 000 pounds or about Rp227 million per year. However, in order to save money, he was transferred to a public school near the school.

Wearing Nike shoes, Chicago Bulls t-shirts, and jeans, he was introduced in front of the class 6A Liebefeld-Steinholzi School, near Berne. "Kids, this Un Pak. Coming from North Korea, he was the son of a diplomat."

Kim Jong-un sat in the empty seat next to the Portuguese diplomat's son, Joao Micaelo. The couple then become my friend. "We're not the stupidest child in the class, nor is it in a smart group of students. We are always there in the second layer," said Joao, who now works as a chef.

At that time, Joao added, Un Pak trying to mengepresikan herself, but her German hindered bad. "He left school without passing the exam. He is more interested in football and basketball, rather than a lesson."

Fans of basketball star Michael Jordan - who never got caught bringing porn magazines in his bag - trying to prove himself as a good player on the basketball court. He was pretty smart in math, but not for others.

Joao tells, one day he was invited to eat Kim Jong-un, who had a personal chef who would cook whatever he wants. "He did not stay at the embassy, ​​but in a flat in an elite neighborhood near the school," he said. Kim Jong-un live in a flat major, No. 10 Kirchstrasse.

"He was surrounded by the best and latest gadgets, which can not have other children - TV, video recorder, the Sony PlayStation. He also had a chef, chauffeur, and private teacher."

When visiting, Joao claimed never brought to the room. Only to the living room, where they watch kung-fu movies - especially those starring Jackie Chan. Kim Jong-un is also young objects that have become the object of envy to the others - a collection of authentic NBA souvenirs, each worth more than 100 pounds.

Kim Jong-un was not interested in talking about the girl, he is also not a drop to drink alcohol at parties. "He just likes to tell about life in his hometown. There's only music player tunes the North. He does not like western music." Aloud North Korean national anthems always heard from her flat.

Joao did not know the identity of his friend until one day in 2000, when Kim Jong-un was about to return to the North. "He showed a photo of him and his father, then said, 'I'm not the son of an ambassador, I am the son of the President of the North'."

Another friend, Joerg said he never saw an armored Mercedes stopped. Then, Kim Jong-un down from there. "He was surrounded by a sort of" ninja "who inspect the streets, before stepping allow it."

When his colleagues talk about democracy, he never ikit as well. He always sat down at his shoes, did not look comfortable. "Chewing the food of Loeb, the most luxurious restaurant in Berne, where you have to spend 100 euros just for a serving of salad."

There are metal, 2.5 tons in the U.S. Pulled Pork

A company in Pennsylvania, United States attracted at least 2.5 tons of pork products bottled minced them from circulation. The withdrawal was made because the product is suspected of mixed metal flake.

Reporting from the CNN page, Tuesday, September 27, 2011, these problems began to surface after a consumer reported the discovery of two small pieces of metal in the box with minced pork Sysco Imperial "puree Shaped Meats Country Style Pork and Binder Product."

This Unique Animals Threatened Climate Change

thick and waterproof fur that had made the platypus (Ornithorhynhus anatinus) becomes a target for hunters is now re-present threat to these unique animals. Australia, which was home to the platypus in the near future will become too hot until they are no longer able to survive there.

As is known, platypus fur is very warm and close together they make a semi-aquatic animal does not lose body heat. This is very important given the platypus spend up to 10 hours per day in water and streams where the temperature reaches 0 degrees Celsius.

Unfortunately, this excess jusru make the species threatened by climate change have been heating temperature in Australia. From recent research published in Global Change Biology, is expected in the coming year 2070, more than 30 percent of the current platypus habitat would be too hot for them.

Of modeling are made, researchers estimate, the region of New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, which is the habitat of the platypus will experience a temperature rise of up to 5 degrees Celsius in 60 years.

"Fur is a very isolating an asset for animals in cold climates. However, the feathers become a burden when conditions warmed up, "said Jenny Davis, professor and ecologist at Monash University, Australia, as quoted by BBC News, June 24, 2011.

For the study, Davis and his team studied the records of platypus distribution during the last two centuries. The data was then combined with the rainfall and temperature statistics. From the analysis, it was revealed that until 1960, platispu habitat is generally determined by amount of rainfall.

After 1960, these animals disappeared from the region where the temperature in general has increased. According to Davis, the results of this study indicate the need to maintain not only the habitat of aquatic animals, but also the temperature of the water flow.

Until the 20th century, the platypus is that the prey animal fur is in great demand. Luckily now the animal has been protected by law in Australia.

Platypus itself is one of five species of mammals that lay eggs. They are also the only member of the genus Ornithorhynchus are still alive. Platypus is also the only venomous mammal in the world.

Mountain Climbing for Life

The path climbed relentlessly. Continues to climb, endless. Shortness of breath, energy drained. No wonder the hill climbers call it "Mount of Regret". That is perhaps to regret the "sins" of the past because of lack of vigorous physical exercise.

Flops sandals, Marahidun (50) runs without pause. Two baskets of food weighing 30 pounds that she endured as not to burden. Sembalun men from the village of Lawang, East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, it passed us gasping at the "Mount of Regret" on the slopes of Mount Rinjani.

Syaifudin (30) also flops sandals and carrying a basket of groceries. Just like Marahidun, nimble foot movement like a young deer. It's fast and without pause.

Both porters (porters) are rushing to get in the mail stops in Plawangan Sembalun to prepare meals. With a sigh, we asked what the menu that day. "Vegetable usual," said Syaifudin, leader of the porters. The habit he had served overseas climbers make the man who can not read or write is called the menu vegetable stew with mixed language, English-Indonesian.

Brought many tools, including inflatable boats, climbing terrain that heavy and long, clean water to the difficulty of making a very important role of the porter. Dutch botanist, Zollinger, which was recorded as the first climber to Rinjani in 1846, also rely on local porters. However, he eventually intention to cancel the summit due to run out of clean water.

Climbing next to the Rinjani are always rely on porters. Volcanologists from the Directorate of Geology (second), Kama Kusumadinata, which climb Rinjani in 1969, also rely on local porters. With the four-member climbing team, Kusumadinata local porters carry eight, including one from Senaru adat. "Those people are hard to walk," said Kusumadinata.

The climb to Rinjani in the past must be accompanied adat. "Climbing the mountain is also accompanied by stakeholders because Rinjani is still considered a sacred place," said Marahidun, who became a porter since 1989. Initially, he became Head porter because Hamlet was ordered to accompany Sembalun Mustiadi U.S. researchers who want to examine the flora and fauna of Rinjani.

At that time, not many people around Rinjani is a porter. Residents prefer to be a farmer. Sembalun debuted as a producer of garlic. "People climb Rinjani was more to find a cure or be imprisoned," said Syaifudin.

Tourist route

Until the 1990's, looking for porters at the Rinjani is not easy. In addition to the difficult terrain, not just anyone dared to climb to get there. Mount Rinjani is a sacred mountain for local residents. Ascent also time consuming because it must open scrubland along the way.

Climbing the more severe after the River Padabalong until Plawangan Sembalun. Track continues to climb without mercy. Routes to Plawangan Sembalun known as "Hill Regret".

However, on the eve of the 2000s, farming at the foot of Rinjani on the skids. Since then, many people switch professions to be porters. "At that time, we got paid Rp 2,500 per day. If spent, the day's wages could get 50 kilograms of rice, "said Marahidun. Wages were very big at that time than wage laborers or farm building which is only Rp 200 per day.

Over time, the route to Mount Rinjani increasingly popular, especially for foreign climbers. The peak, in 2009, the number of foreign climbers reach Rinjani 8455 people. The number of climbers in the country reached 1668 people.

The need for porters has increased. However, wages as a porter is much smaller than in the 1990s. Now, as a porter, Marahidun paid Rp 100,000 per day, equivalent to 20 kilograms of rice.

"ATM" citizen

Although the provision of working as a porter to shrink, the job remains a pedestal. Porter wages far greater than the wages of a motorcycle, which averages about Rp 30,000 per day, or farm laborers, who received Rp 15,000 per day.

Agriculture increasingly promising. "If planted instead of loss," said Syaifudin.

"ATM (automatic teller machines), we, yes, on this mountain," said Rahidun (22). Rahidun back to Sembalun and a porter in early 2011 after go abroad for eight years in Sabah, Malaysia.

Now, residents living Rinjani mountain to climb. "If there is no Rinjani, we can not eat now," said Syaifudin.

However, knowing the season was so porters. During December to January, the hiking trail at the Rinjani closed due to rain and storms into the season. In those months, the porters usually choose to work as migrant workers in Malaysia. No exception Syaifudin is poised to Malaysia so down from the Rinjani. "The money will I use this fee to pay tekong who can take it to work in Malaysia," he said. "The months ahead, our ATM on the mountain is closed."

Includes ... Dutch scholarships Fixed Prioritize Indonesia!

Be thankful you who want to study in the Netherlands. Although the storm crisis struck countries of Europe, the Dutch government and educational institutions still provide a great opportunity for international students who wish to continue their studies to Negari Windmills it.
Those who work in 46 partner institutions embassy will be a priority, but that does not mean it should not be out of register.
- Ariono Hadipuro

Indonesian students are lucky. Currently, the Dutch government and educational institutions not only increase the number of scholarship recipients, but also prioritize students from Indonesia to continue their education in the Netherlands through scholarships.

There are two scholarship schemes of the Government of the Netherlands is favored, the Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP) and stuned Scholarship Programme. NFP is a program of scholarships given to students from 60 developing countries around the world, one of Indonesia.

"Because it's the students who enroll from 60 countries, so the competition is very high," said Team Coordinator for Education Promotion Netherlands Education Support Office (NESO) Indonesia, Ariono Hadipuro, to KOMPAS.com on the sidelines of the implementation of the European Higher Education Fair (EHEF), at Grand Aston City Hall Hotel, Medan, Tuesday (11/15/2011) then.

Meanwhile, stuned Scholarship is a scholarship program of the Dutch Government that makes Indonesia a special student. The scholarships are specific only to citizens of Indonesia (WNI), a form of bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

Ono explains, every year the Embassy (Embassy) Netherlands sent 200 citizen through these scholarships. However, despite large numbers, scholarships higher priority to those who work in companies or institutions that become partners the Dutch Embassy.

"Those who work in 46 partner institutions embassy will be a priority, but that does not mean it should not be out of register. That is, the opportunity is always open," he explained.

It is another advantageous position possible Indonesian students who enroll in both the scholarship program. However, in the end when it is received still had to choose one of them.

For the period 2012/2013, the NFP deadline around the end of February, while the registration stuned around mid-March each year. Ono added, the ideal time to prepare all the documents registration is around August-September and further information can be through the Dutch Embassy.

Education Is Not "Consumer Good"

Despite the storm of economic crisis struck Europe, the Dutch Government in 2011 was at least disburse funds scholarships for students from Indonesia for 5-6 million euros or the equivalent of U.S. $ 7 million-8 million U.S. dollars. Funding scholarships to Indonesian students remains a priority of the State Windmills.
Education is not the effect of consumer goods directly and quickly. Study abroad is a decision once in life. So, not that easy.
- Mervin Bakker

Nuffic Neso Indonesia Director Mervin Bakker revealed that the
European growth is still occurring and the impact of the crisis is not very influential on the world of higher education, especially for Indonesian students. The following are extracts Kompas.com interview with leaders of non-profit organizations that take care of all Dutch higher education sector in Indonesia is:

Whether the crisis is impacting and eventually had to cut the budget of educational scholarships for Indonesian students?

Impact (crisis) to the world of education so far nothing. I think, is still difficult to predict, is it possible to cut the budget of scholarships for Indonesian students. One important thing to know is, Indonesia is still the focus of our government, and the budget is used to strengthen bilateral relations.

Sorry, we are seeing, not only Europe, especially Holland, which ultimately focus on the Indonesian students international education as an asset. United States, Japan, in particular Australia, and even lately China has more incentive to attract Indonesian students to study in their country. How do you think?

Without offending another country, I want to emphasize that we do not believe in aggressive tactics to promote higher education goals. Education is not the effect of consumer goods directly and quickly. Study abroad is a decision once in life. So, not as easy as that!

We (Nuffic Neso) supported by the Dutch universities in all their activities in Indonesia, including promotion. We do it because we believe that the Dutch Government offers world-class education system with the cost and environmental education that can compete.

Not only that which makes us believe. The Netherlands is also a very multicultural country and tolerant in any way. And, make no mistake, many Dutch people today who still like Indonesia. In addition, the Indonesian community, both students and non students to a substantial amount in the Netherlands, so it is not difficult to find food or anything about Indonesia here.

With the incessant promotions of other countries, whether the niche Dutch higher education at present is unrivaled for Indonesian students today?

I guess it's not a problem for us because of the nature of education in Europe is a social investment. We have 3000 universities in Indonesia as the potential cooperation partners for universities in the Netherlands. And, currently there are about 127 forms of cooperation between universities in Indonesia and the Netherlands, and the largest portion on student exchange program. That's about 22 percent and research cooperation as much as 19 percent.

So important is the position of Indonesia?

Of course. Higher education and the concept of internationalization of higher education is very important in Europe and can clearly be seen from these programs are rolled out Erasmus in Indonesia, a very significant increase budget allocations for the development of knowledge and education until 2014.

You've served in Indonesia today, less than five months. How does your view of higher education in Indonesia, including how to work with the Government of Indonesia, in this Higher Education?

Frankly, I was impressed especially with the development of the internationalization of higher education here. I really feel this development process or the journey ahead was appropriate in the expected path.

Could you explain, what can prove what you say that?

Yes, I have made visits to several universities here and proved to many colleges have international firm has a representative office and its programs to run properly. In addition, they (college) also has appointed representatives of its president, a special charge of international collaboration. That is, the infrastructure already built with precision.

I guess, Higher Education has played a role in this process. Their efforts to stimulate the internationalization of programs already underway, including expanding the capacity of research and investment, especially for the lecturers as the most crucial.

Can be concluded, you (Nuffic Neso) pleased to be working with the Government of Indonesia (Higher Education)?

Of course, we are very happy to be working with Higher Education in this connection, namely the internationalization of higher education. We feel privileged to contribute, as a small part of the development of higher education in Indonesia.

Finally, if the concept is clearly advantageous for the internationalization of the Dutch?

What needs to be seen here is, cooperation between Indonesia and universities in the Netherlands has always occurred and continue to grow with the same basic cooperation. That does not mean this cooperation really mean the same because of this cooperation has its own value to be learned and profit by each party....

This boy Substitute Steve Jobs

After the death of the visionary and founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, everyone is wondering who is able to replace it. Not to replace him as CEO of Apple because of Apple's Tim Cook has been appointed to the post.

Steve Jobs is famous for its charm, genius, and the vision of its future. The character and nature of Jobs that is the focus of everyone so that begs the question, who is "The Next Steve Jobs".

That question will likely be missed. In a technology-sharing event TEDx ManhattanBeach, a child who is still sitting in sixth grade elementary school look stunning when presenting the product's creation and his startup company to the audience. He was confident and had a body language that reminds the public of the late Steve Jobs.

This boy named Thomas Suarez, a 12-year-old boy from California, USA. He is the founder of a startup company CarrotCorp which is currently developing applications for Apple's IOS operating system.

As quoted by the Daily Mail, Thomas Suarez was indeed an admirer of Steve Jobs. He has been interested in making a computer program since kindergarten and taught himself several programming languages, like Python, C, and Java.

His first works, namely Earth Fortune, present at the end of 2010, a program that allows changes color based on the fortunes of the Earth's users.

In his presentation at the TEDx, he was describing the products produced by his company's startup. In addition to amaze those who attended, Thomas also made a curious public by exhibiting a tagline that reads, "Uploading the pictures will never be. Coming soon".

Is Thomas Suarez can replace his idol, Steve Jobs? At least he has the potential to go that way.

Could Men Raped?

Some time ago, in the crowded media in Zimbabwe reported cases of rape committed by three women to a man. The news raises a big question, can a woman rape a man?

Mentioned in the news, male victims were raped in the threat of weapons and the women were using drugs. They raped her with a reason to take the male sperm. However, is it possible a man to reach ejaculation in a depressed state?

In women, they could be raped under stressful conditions, unconsciousness, or under the influence of drugs. But in men, they would require the erection process.

It makes sense if it is questionable whether their sexual organs can function under pressure or the influence of drugs. Some men even claim could not urinate if someone else is looking. Most men also said they could not reach the top in a state of fear.

According to sexologist Dr. Naek L Tobing senior in her book Sex Guidance For Men, although penile erection seems to happen quickly, it is a complicated process and requires cooperation of many systems in the body.

The process starts from the brain, nervous system, blood vessels, and hormones are also involved.

Meanwhile, about ejaculation, according to clinical sexology expert Hernando Chaves, can occur as a reflex of the spine. "I've seen people who were seizure ejaculate," he said as quoted by website AskMen.

He explained, during normal sympathetic nervous function, ejaculation can happen. In other words, even without an erection, the penis can also produce sperm.

Meanwhile, for the erection of work is influenced by the parasympathetic sexual stimulation, whether originating from the mind, sight, smell, and hearing.

Beyond the medical issue, a crime a man can be raped. Moreover, the statute explains that a forced sexual relationship can be reported as an act of rape.

Wi-Fi laptop Potentially Damaging Sperm?

If you are a man who likes to surf using a laptop equipped with wi-fi, there's no harm in listening to the findings of the experts on this one.

Recent research indicates the use of laptops equipped with wi-fi can threaten male fertility. Preliminary research, published the journal Fertility and Sterility states, wi-fi connection on the laptop could potentially threaten the quality of sperm.

The results of experiments in the laboratory by exposing the wi-fi signal near the sperm showed motility of sperm cells decreased. In addition, the sperm is also changing the genetic code.

Although wi-fi effects were apparent in these experiments, the researchers assert, the same effect will not necessarily happen in real life. Therefore, these findings need to be followed up by subsequent studies to ascertain the effects of the use of wi-fi laptop to sperm.

Not the effect of hot temperatures

Experts from Argentina and the United States conducted the study by testing 29 samples of sperm from healthy men. Each sample was divided into two containers, and one was kept for 4 hours at the nearby laptops connected to wireless internet. Samples were kept in a container in the same duration in places that do not have laptops.

The researchers suspect, adverse effects on sperm arising in this trial is not related to the heat caused by the laptop. Despite the hot temperatures are since long known to interfere with sperm quality.

Health Protection Agency (HPA) UK argues, those who use wi-fi connection or are near a wi-fi devices can indeed be exposed to radio signals. Most of the energy emitted from the signal will be absorbed by the body. But exposure to signals from wi-fi so far believed to be safe because its strength is very low.

Until now, the HPA said, have not found scientific evidence that states that exposure to radio signals from wi-fi can damage the health of the population in general.

Andrology and fertility of the University of Sheffield, Dr Allan Pacey, stated, this research needs to be further developed to ensure the effects of exposure to wi-fi signal.

"This research has been done well, but we need to be aware of what can affect the fertility of men who regularly assume the laptop wi-fi," he said.

Sperm that have diejakulasi, continued Pacey, is sensitive to many factors. Because, when it is outside the body, the sperm no longer have the protection of cells, tissues, and other body fluids that are stored before ejaculation.

"Therefore, we can not conclude from this study that men who use a laptop wi-fi on pangkuanya for approximately four hours can be damaged or become less fertile sperm. We need a larger epidemiological studies to confirm it and so far it has not ever done, "said Pacey.

Flu Do not Jump "beaten" Antibiotics
