Have we ever wondered how we get chocolate? Well this time we will enter the amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly how chocolate is made. Chocolate is taken from a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in place such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia.

An Alliance Could Answer The Growing Threat from Google and Facebook

By Evelyn M. Rulsi and Nick Bilton

 

Apple, which has stumbled in its efforts to get into social media, has talked with Twitter in recent months about making a strategic investment in it, according to people briefed on the matter.

Although apple has been hugely successfull in selling phones and tablets, it has little traction in social networking, which has become a major engine of activity on the Web and on mobile device. Social media are increasingly influencing the ways people spend their time and money - important consideration for Apple, which also sells application, games, music, and movies.

Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one that could value Twitter at more than $10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion valuation last year, these people said. They declined to be identified because the discussions were private.

There is no guarantee that the two companies, which are not in negotiations at the moment, will come to an agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they may form a stronger partnership amid intensifying competition from companies like Google and Facebook.

Apple has not made many friends in social media. Its relationship with Facebook, for example, has been strained since a deal to build Facebook featured into Ping, Apple's music-centric social network, fell apart. Facebook is also aligned with Microsoft, which owns  a small stake in it. And Google, an Apple rival in the phone market, has been pushing its own social network, Google Plus.

 

 

"But the earlier talks are sign that they may form a stronger partnership"

Indonesia wins 2-0, but fall short of qualifying

THE JAKARTA POST/PEKANBARU

Indonesia put in an impressive performance in their 2-0 defeat of Singapore, but still failed to qualify for next year's AFC U-22 soccer championship after finishing a third place at the end of Group E matches in Pekanbaru, Riau on Sunday.

The two goals for the home side, which welcomed Coach Aji Santoso back the sidelines from a four matches suspension, both came in the second half from Agung Supriyanto.

He scored his first goal from the penalty box before finding his second several minutes later. He beat a defender with a swift manuver from the right flank and had the goalkeeper gasping as his thunderous goal blasted into the far post.

The young Indonesians collected 9 points, or just on point behind runner-up Australia, out of a six strong field of competitors. Japan topped the standing with a perfect collection 20-2 goal margin.

Singapore came in fourth with 7 points followed by Timor Leste with 3 points and Macau with no points.

In earlier matches in the day, favorite Japan continued their dominant form with a 5-0 drubbing of another tournament favorite Australie, while Timor Leste chalked up their first victory, a 4-1 over last-placed Macau.

 

How did Agung Supriyanto get his second goal?
