Jakarta (ANTARA News) – Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI) researcher Amir Hamidy  and his associates have identified two new frog species in Belitung (Indonesia) and Sarawak (Malaysia) over the 2008-2012 periods.

“We have identified two new frog species and have named them L. Ingeri  and L. Kanowitense ,” Amir said in an email received here on Friday.

He said he and his associates from Kyoto University, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, and the University of Malaya published their discovery in Zootaxa journal on July 21, 2012.

He noted that the two new frog species were genetically different from other frogs in the world. “Usually, if two frogs have more than a 3 percent difference in genetic length, they can be categorized as different species. However, in the case of L. Ingeri and L. Kanowitense, there is a difference of more than 9 percent.” Amir pointed out.

My family of three went to see an early screening of the new Disney movie, "Brave" yesterday, so I thought I would write a quick "mommy" review of the movie.

Disney definitely breaks the standards "Disney Princess" mold with this movie as Princess Marida is a fun, outgoing and wild girl that for once is not in search for the love prince. The characters in the movie are entertaining and I loved the way that the Scottish culture comes out in the movie. I found myself wishing for more music though, which is one of the things that I truly love about past Disney movies. I would compare this movie more with "Shrek" than a movie like "Tangled".

As to the age of the kids that would like this movie I would have to say maybe 5 years old and up. The movie is not quite engaging enough for very young viewers, which was a little disappointing for out three years old. There were parts of the movie that our daughter enjoyed, but it is engaging enough for younger viewers in the audience and made them cry, so be foreward of this if you are bringing children under the age of five years old.

i've always been a big fan of Disney movies so on a 5-star scale I would rate this 4-star movie. It's definitely not a favourite, but I give it four stars for the relationship that build between Merida and her mother. I think this offers a great lesson to appreciate your family and truly listen to each others needs and concerns.

What does the reviewer think of the movie?

Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most ‘develop’ societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognized this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.

There are, however, some problems associated with the new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourists as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelry can be disposed of quickly for profit.

Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.

Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.

These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism develop program.

Supply & Demand: How Market Works

The two basic terms used most often by economian are supply and demand. The amount of something that is available-the supply-and the amount of something that people want-the demand-make up a working market. The market is the way in which are economic activity organized between buyers and sellers through their behaviour and interaction wiht one another.

Buyers as  a group, determine the overall demand for a particilar product at various prices. The interaction of buyers and sellers in the market helps to determine the market price, thereby allocating scarce goods and services efficiently. The price is taken into account when deciding how much of something to consume, and also how much to produce.

The relationship between price and quantity demanded is so universal that is called the law of demand. This law states that with all else equal, when the price of goods rises, the quantity demanded falls and when the price falls, the quantity demanded rises. The supply curve provides the opposite information: the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied-and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

A key function of the market is to find equilibrium price when supply and demand are in balance. At this price, the goods supplied are equal to what is being demanded thereby bringing about the most efficient allocation of the goods. An efficient allocation of goods in market is one in which no one can be made better off unless someone else in made worse off.
