Money can't buy..

Money can buy a house, but not a home..
Money can buy a bed, but not sleep..
Money can buy a clock, but not time..
Money can buy a book, but not knowledge..

Money can buy position, but not respect..
Money can buy blood, but not life..
Money can buy medicine, but not health..
Money can buy sex, but not love..
Money can buy insurance, but not safety..
In this world, there are things that are priceless and can not be purchased with money..

Near his heart to love by him.."

Stupidity

One day the barber said to customers when a boy passes in front of his barbershop, "That Tom, he's the dumbest boy in the world!! Ha ha ha.."
"Is that right?" said the customer.
Then the barber called Tom, he reached into his pocket and showed the money $ 1 and coins of 50 cents, and told Tom to choose, "Tom, you may take one of this money, it's up to you to select which one, c'mon boy, pick one!!"
Tom saw the barber's hand where there is money $ 1 and coins of 50 cents, then quickly moves his hand to take the 50 cents coin.
The Barber feel happy and proud turn to the customer and said, "See what I said earlier? Tom was the stupidest boy I ever met!! Countless times I did a test like that before and he always took a coin whose value is the smallest!! Ha ha ha, what a stupid boy!!"

After the customer finished cutting his hair, on the way
home he met Tom. Feeling curious about what he saw before, he was called Tom and asked, "Tom, I watched as the barber offers money $ 1 and coins of 50 cents, and I see you take 50 cents coin, why don't you take the money 1 $ it? Isn't worth 2 times than 50 cents coin?"
Tom said, "Because if I do that, I would not be 50 cents more each day.. The barber always wondered why I did not take the money that $ 1, so he did this every day.. If I take a $ 1 , means the game will be finished..."

Letter from The Future

Dear
human in 2011,

I live in 2050. I am 50 years old, but looks like 85 years old.

I suffer from many health problems, especially kidney problems because I drink very little water. I think that my life will not last long. Now, I am the oldest person in my neighborhood, I remember when I was 5 years old are all very different, there are still many trees in the forest and greenery around, every home has a beautiful courtyard and garden, and I could enjoy the water and swim. Now, we have to clean ourselves by using disposable towels in the wet with mineral oil.

Previously, beautiful hair is the pride of all women. Now, we have to shave the head to clean without using water. Earlier, my father washed his car with water that came out of a hose. Now, children do not believe that once the water can be used for anything.

I still remember the many warnings: "DONT WASTE WATER!!"

But nobody paid attention. People assumed that water will never run out because of an unlimited supply. Now, rivers, lakes, dams and underground water have all been polluted or completely dried. A view around that looks just deserts are barren. Gastrointestinal infections, skin and urinary tract disease is now the number one cause of death. Industry is paralyzed, the jobless rate reached a very dramatic. Workers are paid only with a glass of drinking water per day.

Many people are plundring the water in cartilage places. 80% of the food is synthetic. Previously, it was recommended that an adult should drink 8 glasses of water every day. Now, I can only drink half a glass of water every day. Since water is a rare commodity, we are not wash clothes, used clothing disposed, which increases the amount of garbage. We use septic tanks, as in the past, because there is no water.

Man on the look miserable: their bodies are weak; chapped skin from dehydration; there are lots of scabs and sores caused by ultraviolet rays due to ozone layer and atmosphere on earth was running out. Because dryness of skin, 20-year-old woman look like a 40-year-old.

The scientists have conducted various investigations and studies, but didnt find a way out. Man can not create an artificial water. The small number of trees and green plants make oxygen availability is reduced, which causes the decrease intelligence of future generations.

Morphology of human changed . Which makes offspring with all sorts of deficiencies, mutations and malformations. The government even makes the tax for the air we breathe: 137 m3 per person per day. [31,102 gallons]. For those who can not pay this tax will be excluded from the "ventilated areas" that are equipped with gigantic mechanical lungs oxygen supply solar-powered. The air supplied in the "ventilated areas" is not of very good, but at least provide oxygen to breathe. Human lifespan average is 35 years.

Some countries still have a green tropical island has its own water source. This area is heavily guarded by armed troops. Water had been incredibly rare and valuable, than gold or jewels. Here there are no more trees because it hardly ever rains. Even if it rains, it is acid rain. No longer recognized the existence of the season. Climate change globally have occurred since the 20th century as the greenhouse effect and pollution.

We were warned that it is very important to preserve nature, but no one cares. When my daughter asked how it was when I was young, I describe the beauty of the forests are still green. I tell her how beautiful the rain, flowers, to bathe, fishing in the river, and could drink as much water as we want. I tell you how healthy humans at that time.
He asked: "Daddy! Why is there no water anymore?"
I feel like there is clogging my throat...
I cant help feeling guilty, because I'm from the generation that destroys nature and the environment by not taking seriously the warnings, and many others too!!

I come from a generation who could have made ​​a difference, but no one is doing. Now, our children pay the price. Honestly, life on planet Earth would soon be extinct, because the destruction of our environment reached its end point. I wish I could go back in time and convince mankind to understand what will happen. At the moment it was still possible and the time for us to do something to save our planet Earth!

Please Send this letter to all your friends and acquaintances, even if only by a fraction, global awareness and concrete action of the importance of conserving water and the environment should start from every person.

This is a serious problem and some have become real and happening all around us.
Do it for your children and future descendants.

"WATER AND THE EARTH FOR THE FUTURE"


regards,
a friend from the future

Boy and Ice Cream

When special ice cream (ice cream sundaes) are still cheap, a boy aged about 10 years into the Coffee Shop, and sat at the table.. A waitress approached, and gave the water to him..

This child is then asked "How much the price of one ice cream sundae?"
"50 cents..." replied the waiter..
The child then removing the contents of his pocket and counted and studied the coins in his pocket..
"Well.. How much for the normal ice cream?" he said again..
But this time the people sitting at other tables have started a lot, and the waitress was getting impatient..
"35 cents!!" the waiter said with a grumpy..
This child began count and learn his coins again..
"Miss, if so I ordered just normal ice cream.." he said..

The waitress then brought the ice cream, put a bill paper on the table and continued to walk away.. The child start to eat ice cream, paid the cashier and go away.. When the waitress back to clear that little boy's table, and she began to cry.. Arrayed neatly beside the empty cup, there are 2 pieces of 10 cent coins and 5 pieces of 1 cent coins..

You can see, that little boy could not order ice cream sundae, because it does not have enough to give the waitress a "proper" tip..

Stone Craftman

Once upon a time there lived a stone craftsman.. Every day he went into the mountains to break the stone.. While working, he was humming happily.. Although he is poor, he does not want more than he had, so he does not worry about the world..
One day he was summoned to work at the house of a nobleman.. When looking at the beauty of the nobleman house, for the first time in her life he experienced the pain that arises from a desire, envy.. He said as he sighed, "I wish I was rich, do not have to work hard to make a living by sweating as it is today.."

What a surprise when he heard a voice, "Your wish is granted!! From now on anything that you have the desire will be granted!!" He did not know the meaning of those words until he returned to his shack, and found a beautiful big house like the dream.. He forget his job as a stone craftsman and enjoy life as a rich man..

One day, he saw the King passed by, accompanied by guards, slaves as well as maids which surrounds.. He thought, "I want to be king, sits in a magnificent royal cart.." His wish was immediately granted, he immediately sat down in a magnificent royal cart, with guards and maids..

every day he going around with royal cart, someday the weather was very hot inside the cart.. He looked out and admire the power of the sun which radiates heat to the earth. "I want to be the sun!!" he said.. Once again his wish granted.. He became the sun radiates heat into the universe..

In the rainy season, the sun trying to break through a cloudy sky but with no luck.. So he changed himself into the clouds and glorious in its strength able to withstand the heat of the sun..

Until he became rain and met with a strong rock stone..
"What's this.. Thats rock stone stronger than me? Then I want to be a rock stone"
So there, he stood up straight towering mountainside as a rock stone..

Several days latter, he heard a strange voice broke beneath him.. He saw a man working emboss chunk of stone..

Eventually he returned to become a a human, back became stone craftsman, with a heart full of gratitude as he felt happy with what he had..

Dandelion's Letter..

Hi Clover, how are you shorm?
Have long since we last chatted, i mean really talk..
I can imagine, surely you're grumbling right now, because once again i "how are you?"..
It's past midnight here, outside the rain is very heavy.. When the rain is usually the most nice thing to do is sleep, but somehow lately im hard to sleep.. So here is me now, writing a letter to a friend..

Just now i look at our photos, there is bring back old memories.. I realize, we have been friends for a long time.. Dear Clover, i know our friendship is very complicated.. Do you know a shorm, lately i so scared.. Im afraid the ship that exists between us will fade under over time.. Whether you realize it or not, you're treating me like before you treat him.. Now i realized, why back there i was defending him.. I think because i was really scared, im afraid the same thing will happen to me someday..
I know this is hard.. It is difficult to maintain long distance friendship, because there are sometimes the distance and the presence can be heavy trials.. If you're happy, i was not there to share laughs and hapiness, and when you're sad or upset, I couldnt be there to share your burden.. How hard i try, how nice the words that i sent, not to replace the presence which you expect.. We also have a different activity, when you're free maybe im busy or can not stay online with you, and vice versa .. No wonder we always fight, no wonder you become bored and fed up with all this.. In the end, all my actions even more and makes you annoyed.. Especially once you've experienced things like this..

Every day i always convince myself, "1 year is not long time.. Be patient, january will soon come.." But still some doubt in my heart, "What if it the time comes, all is just too late?" Im afraid if we meet again later, im just going to be a wound in your heart, im just going to be a reason for your absence, or the cause of your bad mood.. I do not want that to happen.. The distance between us is widening, bridge that was warm, now feels so cold.. I tried to reach you, but it seems you're always turning away from me, either because you cant hear my voice, or because my effort is not enough, or because you're avoiding me..
I realized, you were get hurt because it is always left out.. Path i travel now, is my decision..
But Clover...
Did you know? I dare to take this decision was because of the courage that you give me.. I want to learn to become a better man, for me, and also for you my friend..

Clover, you know i always miss you.. When i feel down, just simply imagined your smile, remembering that someone are waiting for my return, this is make me ease and always do my best here.. But lately every i remember you this heart feel sad, there are doubts in the heart.. Is i choose the right path? Should I separated from my best friend? Long long distance.. Im sorry to disappoint you, im sorry that remind your old wounds, im sorry always makes you angry, annoyed, and sad..

Yeah, i know this is my life, i should be focusing on my behalf.. I determine that my road travel, but I also, dont want people i love sad because of me..
Although we are far apart, believe that i never leave you, in my heart there is always space for your.. I'll always be here with this umbrella, when the rain hit, or the sun shines hot, when you need me you know im always there for you, maybe what i give right now is not exactly what you want, but Clover, believe me.. Believe me, i tried very hard at it, i always hoped someday i could give more than what you want..
I've changed, you changed, time and conditions have changed us.. But i believe, in our heart are still the same .. I'll wait, and try to get back like old times, where i was the reason of your smile.. with all these changes, with the remnants of our memories ..

So clover, how are you?
I hope you are happy there..


your friend,
Dandelion.

Punctuation Mark

This is the history of the establishment of several punctuation marks are often used around the world....

1.  Question Mark (?)
At first, in Latin, one must write the word "Questio" at the end of the sentence to indicate that the sentence would be asked as question.. So to save space, the word is eventually shortened to "qo", which is then compressed again into the small "q" letters above the letter "o", which eventually grew up into dots and curve like a worm, just as we are now question marks..

2.  Exclamation Mark (!)
Like a question mark, initially starting with the letters piling up.. This sign comes from the Latin word "io" means "cry of excitement" when the letter "i" is written above the letter "o", after a long time is shortened as the exclamation mark us today..

3.  Equals Sign (=)
Invented by English mathematician Robert Recorde in 1557, with this kind of thinking (in Old English) "I Will settle as I doe woorke Often in use, a paire of paralleles, or Gmowe [i.e., twin] lines of one length, thus:, bicause noe 2 thynges, can be more equalle." or translation: "I will use this sign as usual, a pair of parallel lines, or a twin of equal length, because no two things could be more similar to these two parallel lines." Signs similar to the original findings of Robert least 5 times longer than we know today..

4.  Ampersand (&)
This symbol is a form of "et" in Latin, meaning "and".. This sign was invented by Marcus Tullius Tiro, an author of the first century in Rome.. Ampersand name was only given after 17 centuries later.. In early 1800, school students learned this symbol as a letter to 27 after Z, but still without a name. So in early 1800, they learned the ABC (alphabet) with "and per se, and" meaning "&" and then read so fast because, eventually became "ampersand"..

5.  Octothorp (#)
This strange name for numbering sign comes from the word "thorpe", on ancient Normandy language used to said the village or farm, which is often encountered in English to place names.. Initially used for map-making, which means the village is surrounded by eight farms.. Because eight (octa) and agriculture (thorpe), it appears this name, Octothorp..

6.  Dollar sign ($)
The new American government issued their own money in 1794, and at that time was still using old world currency, the peso, or Spanish dollar.. First U.S. dollar coin exactly same as Spanish peso currency, both weight and value, so they take the same acronym: "Ps".. The longer the development, the letter P is written upon S, and then began to circle above the P was removed, so only the letter S is overwritten with a vertical line.

June 29th, 2011

The watch shows at 07.30 WIT (Waktu Indonesia bagian Timur, Eastern Indonesia Time), wondering why the office was very quiet, and there was no sign of a morning military ceremony..

Suddenly, a Provost came over and said "Sir, today the office holiday. Today is red!!" (In my country a national holiday marked in red on the calendar)
"Yeah, I already know.. I just want to make sure that the server was turned off, and setting the network for the preparation Bhayangkara Day (Indonesian police's birthday, celebrated on the 1st of july)" while pointing to the server and patted my laptop bag..

* shame, making excuses*
Hahaha.. Story of my life..

Extra mile

Your Words stab me sharper than the sword, but.. I know you right....
The fact is painful sometimes..
People wonder why i want to go the extra miles even i know, in the end it hurt me.. They might say that i'm stupid, but i do not care..
I dont care...

Sunken ship

Honestly, do not know what to do..
I always try my best on you, but sometimes not as you expected..
I really dont mean it friend, i dont mean to make you uncomfortable..
Sorry, sometimes i do not know who i am, and act out of the boundaries..
I'm just afraid our ship will sunken as time..

My biggest fear is that one day... We will chat each other on messenger, and have a artificial conversation...

Dandelion and Clover

There is a remote mountain with valley in the middle, the valley is filled by clover plants.. Among these clovers there is a little four leaf Clover.. She was very loved by her friends..

One time a Dandelion seeds carried by wind and landed in the valley, just next to the four leaf Clover.. That's when they first met.. Dandelion and Clover more time together, theys have much the same indulgence, share stories, dah they became  a best friend.. Dandelion was amazed at Clover, without realizing he have feelings towards her.. Often he watch Clover from a distance, Clover has become a reason for his happiness.. Dandelion glad when Clover laugh, and sad when she cries..

Until one day...
Dandelion realized that someday there must be time to split up, when he had to leave Clover. When he did not expect but will still be coming.. No words were spoken, Dandelion just silently cry in the heart as he holding Clover's hand for the last time.. Hoping this trip did not last long and they can be reunited.. Then the time is came, the wind was blowing and took Dandelion fly with him..

When the wind took him soaring into the air, Dandelion praying..
On the trip the wind ask the dandelion: "you'd pray for you and the Clover, wasnt it?"
"Yes, i pray for myself and Clover", said the Dandelion..
The wind continued, "surely you pray to God for Clover always wait until you come home, isnt it?"
Dandelion looked at the wind, and said, "Wind my friend, at first i did intend to request thus.. But when i think again it is very unfair.. When my time running, Clover's time was also running, so i changed my wish.. I begged God to always keep the Clover.. Then, i prayed to God for myself, so I did not cry when Clover get someone better.. I pray that she will always be happy.."

Iron stirrer and Salt

I read an article about  "happiness and love" write by my friend, then i was reminded of a story that somehow i've heard from somewhere...
Approximately story as follows:

One day a scavenger, walking down a pile of garbage.. In the midst of a pile of garbage he found an Iron stirrer which was very old and rusty.. The scavengers collect iron stirrer and put it in her bag.. Then he walked forward again, and near where he found an iron stirrer before, he found a hunk of Salt that is very dirty.. Salt was then he picked up and he put in his bag as well.. Inside the bag are the scavengers, Salt and Iron stirrer become familiar.. They know each other and love each other, and mutual sharing about their travel stories, joys and sorrows, and their life story so far..
At home, a scavengers clean Iron stirrer with sandpaper so that so shiny and then moisten it with oil and put in place tools.. While the lump of Salt that he found it clean of dirt attached to it and then wash it and put it in place while cooking ingredients..
Stirrer iron and Salt became very sad.. Those who are familiar feel separated by the scavengers.. They do not understand why they must be separated.. They considered the scavengers cruel because they have separated..
Iron stirrer said: "My lord, why do you separate me from the Salt? She is my best friend.. You seize our happiness!!"
Salt also complain: " Please, do not be cruel masters.. I love my best friend Iron stirrer.. Why did you separate us?"

The scavengers answered them: "Hey Iron stirrer and Salt, do you know that if you come together for too long will destroy one another? Do you know that salt will be dissolved by water vapor and form a brine? Brine can react with iron and cause rust and corrosion that will ruin you all..
Do not be sad.. I will unite you again when I'm cooking, uses both of you to make a delicious dish, then I will cleanse you, and put in your places again..
Believe me, i know what is best for you all.."

Friend

One soldier said to his commander, "My friend isn’t back from the battlefield, Sir.. So i request permission to go out and get him, please..."
"No soldier, permission refused,” said the commander. "I don’t want you to risk your life for a man who is probably dead.."
The soldier was silent, disappointed, in the end he decided to stay away furtively.. And an hour later came back ragged, mortally wounded, carrying the corpse of his friend..

Commander was furious when he saw his arrival, "I told you he was dead.. See your wound, now I will lost you both!! Tell me soldier; was it worth going out there to bring in a corpse?"
The dying soldier replied, "Oh sure, it was, sir... When I got to him he was still alive. And he said to me, "friend, I was sure you’d come..""

If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend.

Hello darkness, my old friend..

Hello me, how are you?

Well, as you can see, nothing special..

Tsskk, SSDD ehhh? Come on dude, today is our birthday..

Shut up, you know today is not our birthday..

Hahaha, but others dont know, do they?

Yeah, I guess they dont know.. But wait, it seems I've been told someone, but she didnt even congratulate us..

Huahahaha, thats what makes u so glum today? Hahahaha!!

I think, suddenly we stepped on 24, the time goes so fast.. If you look back, not many achievements that we can be proud.. A year ago on Oct 21, we officially graduated from college, but so much time had passed we were still unemployed.. Does it not make u feel bad?

Yeaaah, that sucks, man!! At time like this, I think I really want to have someone to share.. What u call that? Shervo, heh?

I bet you'd have forgotten what stands for "shervo", hahaha..
It is difficult to find someone who can be called a friend.. I began to believe that a shorm never existed..
 
What the hell, I think you already have many friends around you?

I guess so, should be like that..
But....
You know? Somehow in my heart I dont feel that way..
In the good times, they are so real, we enjoy the time, always have fun together..
When one by one problems come, in my bad times, when I am down, their colors begin to fade..
Indeed, they so many times are all around me.. But I feel empty.. I feel so lonely, even in the midst of a crowd.. People talk, but I could not hear them.. I tried to speak, but my voice can not reach them.. I scream, no sound came out.. Such as black white silent movie..
I am alone......

Stupid, you are never alone!! I'm always with you!!

Even if you say so, I cant hug myself, I also cant hold my own hands, I also cant crying on my own shoulder!!

Pitiful creature!! If you tough so, count on yourself!!! When you're fragile, encourage yourself.. When you feel lost, just believe in your pace.. When you are sad, wipe your fucking tears, be grateful for what you have.. Wake up man!!
Learn to treasure your life. because unfortunately it can be taken away from you at any time.. When your not happy with your life, you may not know, but simply remember that there is someone out there who is happy you exist.. Smile for no reason and laugh just because you can..
Oh damn, I'm supposed to be darkness, but I teach you that fucking things!!

Hahaha, dont blame yourself.. Maybe my good side was working in you right now..

......

Huff, thats a relief to talk with you.. It felt a little burden was lifted..

Sigh!! Next time, I will drag you into the path of destruction, watch your steps!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!

Mousetrap

A couple of farmers went home after shopping.
When they opened a grocery goods, a Mouse watching them while muttering "hmmm ... what food would they bring??"
Unfortunately, one of the items purchased by farmers is a mousetrap.

The Mouse were shocked and panicked. He immediately ran to barn and shouted "Guys, there's mousetrap in the house, they bought a mousetrap!!"

He visited a Chicken and shouted "There is mousetrap!!"
The Chicken said "Mr. Mouse, I'm sorry to you, but that has not influence on me.."

The Mouse and went to a Goat and shouting the same thing.
The Goats also said "I'm sympathetic.. But nothing can I do.."

The Mouse then met Cow. Once again he got the same answer.
"I'm sorry, but mousetrap is not dangerous for me at all.."

He then ran into the woods and meets Snake.
The snake said, "Hahaha, a small rat trap will not harm me.."

Finally, Mouse returned to the house with resignation, knowing that
he must face the danger alone. He could only watch mousetrap from its hiding hole. Due to fatigue, Mouse fell asleep...

That night, the farmer was awakened by hearing a loud noise in the kitchen, indicating there is trapped in a mousetrap. When viewing a mousetrap, it appeared that caught a Snake. Snake's tail sandwiched, make Snake rampage and attacked the farmer's wife. Although in the end the farmer had killed the Snake, the wife in critical condition, because the poison from Snake bites.

The husband brought his wife to the hospital, after the condition improving his wife is allowed to go home. But several days later his wife returned fever. Farmers slaughtered Chicken to make chicken claw soup, which is well-known to reduce fever.

Several days passed, but his fever does not go away. The farmer's friend
advised to eat goat liver extract. Then the farmer to slaughter the Goat
to take liver.

However the treatment given too late, in the end the wife died. Lots of people came up at the funeral. So the farmers have to slaughter the Cow to feed the people who mourn.

From a distance ...
The Mouse stared with sadness over the fate of his friends. And since then these mousetrap are not used anymore.....

Pray

There was an old farmer who cultivate field in the jungle that is far from his home. He always went in the morning and come home at night. Days were as usual, early in the morning he had already left with his cart. When they reached the field he realized he had forgotten to bring his prayer books. When he wanted to go back to pick up the book the prayer, cart wheel is broken, and he spent the entire afternoon to fix it. He is very sorry that will not have time to go home to take his prayer book.

So when it came time where he used to pray, this is the prayer he made:

"Forgive me this stupid deeds, ooh Lord...
This morning I left the house without carrying a prayer book.
And me such a bad memory, so that not even single prayer I can remember without prayer book.
So this is going to do..
I would say the A-B-C...Z five times, slowly, and You, Who know all the prayers, can arrange the letters, to form a prayer that I can't remember."

And God said to his angels:
"Of the many prayers that I heard today, this one is undoubtedly the best, because it comes from the simple and honest heart."

Measles (Campak)

This was a few days I have to lay in the house because of suffering from German Measles.. To fill my time trying to write a little information on measles disease may be useful for all of you..


Measles
Measles (Rubeola/ 9 day Measles/ Campak) is an acute contagious disease and often lead to serious complications. Almost all children under 5 years old in developing countries will be attacked by this disease, whereas in developed countries usually attacks teenagers or adults who are not protected by the vaccine (immunization).
Measles characterized by fever, cough, conjunctivitis (inflammation of the membranes tie eye) and skin rash. This disease is caused by a viral infection Paramyxovirus group.

Symptoms and Transmission of Measles:
Transmission occurs primarily by inhaling through the saliva of fine grains (droplets), sneezing, sparks spit from the mouth and throat of infected people (water borne disease). Outline measles can be divided into three phases:

1.  The first phase (incubation) lasts approximately 10-12 days. In this phase, patients have started to become infected but not yet looked at him any symptoms. Red patches that are characteristic of measles has not come out.
2. In the second phase (prodormal) symptoms are flu-like illnesses, like coughs, colds, and fever. Eyes look reddish and succulent. When see something, eyes will be dazzled (photo phobia). Appears next to the mouth of the white spots that will last 3-4 days. Sometimes patients also had diarrhea. One-two days later, high fever fluctuated, ranging from 38 - 40'C.
3. The third phase is marked by the release of red patches on the skin, and high fever. However, indirect patches appear on the entire body, but gradually. Starting from the back of the ears, neck, chest, face, hands and feet. The color is also unique; red with sizes that are not too big but not too small

These red spots in the language of medicine called maculopapuler. Usually the spots filled the whole body in about one week. However, this also depends on the immunity of each patient. If both the body endurance red spots not too spread out and not too crowded. Generally, if the red spot was gone, the fever will come down by itself. No longer the red spots become blackish and scaly (hyperpigmentation), and then fall out or recovered by itself. This period of healing may take up to two weeks.

Treatment:

• When a mild measles, patients simply treated at home. If severe measles or complications should be treated in the hospital.
• Patients need to be treated in a separate place so as not to transmit the disease to others. Especially when there's a baby at home who have not received the immunization.
• Give the patient a balanced intake of nutritious food and sufficient to increase the endurance of his body. The food should be easily digested, because patients infected with measles susceptible another infection, like strep throat, or flu.
• Consultation with your doctor.
• The patient must maintain the cleanliness of the body by bathing regularly.
• Adequate rest.

To reduce fever, is usually given Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen. And if there is a bacterial infection, usually given antibiotics.

Prevention:
Measles vaccine is part of the routine immunization of children. Vaccines are usually given in combination with Mumps and German measles (MMR vaccine/ Mumps-Measles-Rubella), injected in the thigh or upper arm muscles. This vaccine is given in stages, the first dose given at age 12-15 months, second dose given at age 4-6 years. Measles would infect only once in a lifetime. When a strong body endurance, a child may not be infected with measles at all.




German Measles
German Measles (Rubella/ 3 day measles/ Campak Jerman) glance it looks similar to ordinary measles.
This disease must be carefully watched in pregnant women, because it can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta. A woman who is infected with this disease, in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy (especially 8-10 weeks) susceptible to miscarriage, or baby will have congenital rubella syndrome. Once the baby was born, the baby will experience cataract eyes, ears suffered deafness, and even calcification in the brain, so the child can experience growth retardation.

Symptoms:
Symtoms began 14-21 days after infection.

• In children, symptoms will appear after 1-5 days, which was marked by malaise, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck and back of the head, and sore joints. These early symptoms sometimes did not occur in adolescents and adults. Then came a rash that will disappear in three days. This rash started on the face and neck, then spread rapidly throughout the body. Simultaneously with the appearance of the rash, the skin looks a bit reddish. Red spots appeared on the palate which then spread and become one and extends to the back of the mouth. Almost similar to the symptoms in the ordinary measles.
• In male adolescents or adults other than the above symptoms, can also sometimes experience pain in the testes. Sometimes complications occur middle ear infection or brain inflammation, coughs and colds, diarrhea, fever, body fever and chills, rheumatic pain, rheumatic pain all the bones, severe headache, and poliartritis (small joints were swollen and inflamed), which in turn would make the the patient must lay on the bed for several days.

Treatment and Prevention: 
For the treatment and prevention in patients with German Measles, is usually similar to an act performed in patients with ordinary measles. Can be added painkiller to relieve pain in the joints (usually patients with adult) in accordance with doctor's prescription.

Eye-B Pod

This afternoon I visited my friend who is being participated in the exhibition "Research and Development Expo" at the JCC. This is the umpteenth-time for them to participate in technology themed exhibition. This started when looking for ideas for thesis...

Brief history of Eye-B Pod
On our campus Bina Nusantara University, Computer Science majors are allowed for theses in a team (maximum three people). So my three friends namely Stanley Audrey, Josephine Klara, and Victor Kurnia intends to make writing theses wonderful and different from others, in accordance with our specialization, ie AI (Artificial Intelligence). From there arose the idea was to create a device pointer that is different from the others, these tools will allow computer users to move the mouse simply by moving their eyes only.

Computers would not be something foreign to the current generation. Almost everyone needs a computer to facilitate the daily work done, or just looking for entertainment. And of course for computer users, the device pointer to be a very important role in operating the computer. This time have so many kind of devices used to move the pointer cursor on the computer, the bookmark tool that has been circulated widely in the community including a mouse, trackball, lightpen, touch screen, joy stick, and so forth. Each pointer devices has advantages and disadvantages of each. But there is one similarity between all pointer devices mentioned above, which requires all members of the user's body movements in the run, the hand.

It's easy for normal people to move the pointer tool. But for those who have physical disabilities or those who can not control the hands properly for several reasons such as that experienced paralysis, arm injury, and neurological disorders such as Parkinson's, etc., it becomes a constraint in the use of existing pointer devices .
Based on 2009 statistical data obtained from the Ministry of Social Affairs, in the course of the 14th province of Indonesia that has been recorded there are about ± 850 000 people with disability in the arm, and also according to WHO statistics, in 2008 approximately 80-10% of human population in the world suffer from disabilities . Although existing laws regulating the disabled people, in fact they are still excluded from the world of work, because they are considered limitations prevented them from working. But in fact, behind their physical limitations, they still have the same capabilities with those of healthy bodies. This problem comes from the desire of people with disabilities to be able to obtain equal rights in various areas, including ease of accessing information can be obtained through the computer and the Internet.

This has encouraged my friends to develop a different pointer device from conventional pointer device that already exists, hence conducted numerous studies to produce devices using hand gestures pointing to a minimum or even no need to use hand movements at all.

Finally it was decided to use the eye as a substitute for hand movement. This is based on the location and characteristics of the eye itself. Eyes located on the face and its characteristics can be easily identified as compared with the physical characteristics of members of other faces. Based on the study eye is an instrument that responds when it first senses the first time a user will perform the operation on a computer using a pointer device. With such a statement is expected to use the eye will respond more quickly in the mobilization of the cursor.And was born Eye-B Pod which stands for Eye-Based Pointing Device.

Eye-B Pod
Instead of using the hand, eye movement is used to control the cursor on the computer screen. How to use Eye-B-PoD is by using eye movements are captured by the input device is the webcam. Users can simply look to certain partsof the screen to direct your cursor where you want to go. If you want to perform processes such as the click of a mouse, users can simply do blink with one eye when the cursor has been located at the target.
For normal people, Eye-B Pod can also improve efficiency in using computers, because users need not be too dependent on the conventional mouse, while using eye movements, the user's hand can still perform a variety of other activities such as writing, typing, or drinking coffee.

For now Eye-B Pod consists of four features:

1. Automatic Face And Eye Detection: when a user is located in front of the webcam software that has been equipped with Eye-B Pod, automatic face and eyes are detected instantly
2. Smart Face Detector dominant: for example there are several faces in front of the webcam, only the dominant face can be captured by the Eye-B Pod.
3. False Positive Blink Detector: to be able to distinguish when the user wants to click (with a wink) or just normal blink.
4. Auto Sensitivity Calibration: calibrate automatically reset if the Eye-B Pod loss of eye blink detection.

Eye-B-Pod succeeded in becoming the second winner (merit) Indonesia ICT Awards (INAICTA 2009) for the category of Research and Development. This software continues in the development stage for the addition of other features and improvements in some parts.
