Glasses – also called eyeglasses (formal), spectacles, or specs (informal) – are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, nirmally for vision correction or eye protection. Safety glasses are a kind of eye protection against flying debris or against visible and near visible ang near visible light or radiation. Sunglasses allow better vision in bright daylight, and may protect against damage from high levels of ultraviolet light. Other types of glasses may be used for vieweing visual information (such as stereoscopy) or simply just for aesthetic or fashion values.

Historical types of glasses include the pince-nez, monocle, lorgnette, and scissors or scissors-glasses.

Modern Glasses are typically supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and by template arms (sides) placed over the cars. CR-39 lenses are the most common plastic lenses due to their low weight, high scratch resistance, low dispersion, and low transparency to ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses are the lightest and most shatter-resistant, making the best for impact protection

An unpopular aspect of glasses is their inconvenience. Even through the creaton of light frames such as those made of titanium, very flexible frames, and new lens materials and optical coatings, glasses can still cause problems during rigorous sports. Visibility can be significantly educed by becoming greasy, trapping vapour when eating hot food, swimming, walking in rain or rapid temperature changes (such as walking int a warm building from cold temperature outside). Scraping fracturing or breakage of the lenses require tme-consuming and costly professional repair, though modern plastic lenses are almost indestructible and very scratch-resistant.

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.

 

Why Laskar Pelangi was considered as one of the best Indonesian Movie?

 

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

There are however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see touristas 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 jewelery which 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 scientist 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 ther 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 development program.

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.
