stop HIV/AIDS. lets care for it!

Membangun paradigma baru bagi ODHA (Orang Dengan HIV/AIDS).

Kalau boleh bertanya, apa yang ada di benak kalian tentang HIV/AIDS? Bagaimana dengan penderitanya? (ODHA-red).

Mungkin, sebagian besar kalangan baik kalangan atas, menengah, dan menengah ke bawah, baik itu yang berlevel intelektual maupun yang awam akan mengatakan bahwa HIV adalah salah satu virus mematikan yang pernah ada. Apakah ada yang salah dengan pernyataan ini? Saya rasa tidak. Hal ini wajar dan realistis. Saya pun juga berpikir seperti itu.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Begitulah singkatan dari virus mematikan ini. virus yang dapat menurunkan kekebalan pada tubuh manusia. Orang yang terkena virus ini akan menjadi rentan terhadap infeksi oportunistik ataupun mudah terkena tumor. Meskipun penanganan yang telah ada dapat memperlambat laju perkembangan virus, namun penyakit ini belum benar-benar bisa disembuhkan. Itulah sebabnya saya mengatakan hal ini sangat wajar dan juga realistis. berdasarkan data yang ada, AIDS diperkiraan telah menginfeksi 38,6 juta orang di seluruh dunia. Pada Januari 2006, UNAIDS bekerjasama dengan WHO memperkirakan bahwa AIDS telah menyebabkan kematian lebih dari 25 juta orang sejak pertama kali diakui pada tanggal 5 Juni 1981. Dengan demikian, penyakit ini merupakan salah satu wabah paling mematikan dalam sejarah. AIDS diklaim telah menyebabkan kematian sebanyak 2,4 hingga 3,3 juta jiwa pada tahun 2005 saja, dan lebih dari 570.000 jiwa di antaranya adalah anak-anak. Sepertiga dari jumlah kematian ini terjadi di Afrika Sub-Sahara, sehingga memperlambat pertumbuhan ekonomi dan menghancurkan kekuatan sumber daya manusia mereka. Perawatan antiretrovirus sesungguhnya dapat mengurangi tingkat kematian dan parahnya infeksi HIV, namun akses terhadap pengobatan tersebut tidak tersedia di semua negara.* Itulah sebabnya, HIV merupakan salah satu dari virus mematikan yang pernah ada.

Membicarakan tentang HIV/AIDS sama halnya dengan membicarakan tentang fenomena gunung es. Data yang kita lihat hanyalah sebagian kecil dari jumlah seluruh penderita HIV yang ada. Seperti gunung es, kita hanya bisa melihat apa yang ada di permukaan. Sementara yang lainnya tertutup oleh lapisan es yang tebal. Pertanyaanya, bagaimana cara memecahkan gunung es tersebut agar kita tahu berapa jumlah penderita HIV/AIDS yang ada sebenarnya? Mengingat hal ini perlu dilakukan agar penanganan dan pencegahan penularan virus HIV ini dapat menurun secara signifikan.

Salah satu langkah awal untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut adalah dengan cara membangun sebuah paradigma baru. Pemikiran baru tentang ODHA (orang dengan HIV/AIDS, sebutan untuk orang yang mengidap HIV/AIDS-red). Mengapa? Karena masih banyak orang yang salah dalam menyikapi hal yang satu ini. Banyak orang yang menganggap bahwa tinggal bersama satu rumah dengan penderita HIV akan menyebabkan dirinya dan keluarganya dapat tertular HIV. Kecemasan ini bisa saya katakan wajar. Apalagi untuk orang yang awam tentang pemahaman akan penularan HIV. Tapi, kecemasan yang berlebihan tidak akan menyelesaikan masalah yang ada. Malah, hal ini akan menambah sulit bagi kita untuk memecahkan gunung es tersebut. Para ODHA akan merasa terkucilkan. Padahal yang mereka butuhkan adalah dukungan moril dan semangat untuk sembuh.

Umumnya, masyarakat kita menganggap bahwa HIV adalah salah satu penyakit yang menjijikan dan merupakan laknat dari tuhan. Terutama bagi mereka yang suka drugs dan seks bebas karena HIV selalu identik dengan dua kata itu. Tapi bagaimana mereka yang tertular akibat transfusi darah? Dan bagaimana juga dengan seorang bayi yang tertular karena ibunya? Apakah masih wajar mereka masih tetap juga mendapatkan perlakuan seperti itu? Di prasangkaburukkan oleh hal-hal yang umunya bersifat personal dan hanya menduga yang tak jelas arahnya. Inilah hal yang harus kita ubah bersama. Dengan lebih mempedulikan para ODHA, mudah-mudahan orang yang merasa terkena virus ini tidak akan segan ataupun ragu untuk mencek apakah dirinya terinfeksi atau tidak. Sehingga perlahan-lahan gunung es itu pun akan mencair perlahan dan akhirnya hilang.

Terlepas dari itu semua, hal ini tidak akan dapat berjalan tanpa adanya sosialisasi yang terus menerus dan melakukan suatu langkah nyata untuk menanggulangi masalah ini.

Selamat hari AIDS sedunia.

lagi: ketidakperhatiaannya sekolah terhadap masa depan anak kelas 3

buat anak-anak kelas 3.
yang bentar lagi udah mau cabut.
yang kemarin sudah mengikuti seminar ITB beberapa waktu lampau.
waktu itu diberitahu bahwa setiap sekolah mendapatkan satu cd tentang seluk beluk ITB.
cd itu kemarin diamankan oleh saah seorang teman saya.
karena pada waktu itu tak ada satu orang pun guru yang membimbing muridnya mengikuti seminar.(where r u?)-tak perhatian kan?
cd itu dibagikan kepada sekolah untuk di kopikan ke masing2 individu untuk di ambilinformasinya.
cd itu sudah teman saya berikan kepada salah seorang gru dan merupakan salah satu petingginya.(wakil2-red).
tapi, waktu teman saya ingin meminjam cd itu.untuk mengpopi pastinya.
guru itu malah bercanda dan berseloroh yang menurut saya sangat menyesakkan.
begini situasinya..

teman I : "pak, cd yang kemarin itu bagaimana jadinya"
guru : "oh, masih ada sama saya."
teman II : "pak, pinjam satu pak. mau ngopi."
guru : "boleh, belikan bpak teh botol 3 ya?"

mendengar itu nyesek saya.
saya berjuang untuk nama baik SMA 3 tuk tak korupsi.
dan saya berpikir.
inikan salah satu KKN.
kpan bangsa ini mau bersih ya?
kpan bangsa ini mau sukses ya?
smuanya selalu diukur oleh uang.

pdhal jelas2 hal itu gratis dan disuruh langsung untuk mengcopykannya.
tapi, guru itu malah mengambil keuntungan dari padanya.
itu tetap aja korupsi walau kecil.

huh.
semoga Allah memberikan petunjuk kepadanya.
amin!

earthquake

An earthquake (also known as tremors and temblors) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a seismograph. The moment magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported, or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacing the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami. The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.

In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments. An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter refers to the point at ground level directly above this.

green house effect

Main articles: Greenhouse gas and Greenhouse effect

The detailed causes of the recent warming remain an active field of research. The scientific consensus^[14][15] is that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to human activity caused most of the warming observed since the start of the industrial era, and the observed warming cannot be satisfactorily explained by natural causes alone.^[16] This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, for which the most detailed data are available.

The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824^[17][18][19] and was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. It is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by atmospheric gases warm a planet's lower atmosphere and surface. Existence of the greenhouse effect as such is not disputed. The question is instead how the strength of the greenhouse effect changes when human activity increases the atmospheric concentrations of some greenhouse gases.

Recent increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂). The monthly CO₂ measurements display small seasonal oscillations in an overall yearly uptrend; each year's maximum is reached during the Northern Hemisphere's late spring, and declines during the Northern Hemisphere growing season as plants remove some CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Naturally occurring greenhouse gases have a mean warming effect of about 33 °C (59 °F), without which Earth would be uninhabitable.^[20][21] On Earth, the major greenhouse gases are water vapor, which causes about 36–70 percent of the greenhouse effect (not including clouds); carbon dioxide (CO₂), which causes 9–26 percent; methane (CH₄), which causes 4–9 percent; and ozone, which causes 3–7 percent.^[22][23]

Human activity since the industrial revolution has increased the concentration of various greenhouse gases, leading to increased radiative forcing from CO₂, methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs and nitrous oxide. The atmospheric concentrations of CO₂ and methane have increased by 31% and 149% respectively since the beginning of the industrial revolution in the mid-1700s. These levels are considerably higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores.^[24] From less direct geological evidence it is believed that CO₂ values this high were last attained 20 million years ago.^[25] Fossil fuel burning has produced approximately three-quarters of the increase in CO₂ from human activity over the past 20 years. Most of the rest is due to land-use change, in particular deforestation.^[26]

CO₂ concentrations are expected to rise due to ongoing burning of fossil fuels and land-use change. The rate of rise will depend on uncertain economic, sociological, technological, and natural developments. The IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios gives a wide range of future CO₂ scenarios, ranging from 541 to 970 ppm by the year 2100.^[27] Fossil fuel reserves are sufficient to reach this level and continue emissions past 2100, if coal, tar sands or methane clathrates are extensively used.^[28]

smantri. what's going on?

mgkin, bagi mrka yg tak bisa brpkir jernih dan slalu su'udzan.
akan trmakan oleh bjuk dan rayuan setan tuk slalu mmfitnah org.
trmsuk mrka yg mmprcayai bgtu saja apa yg provokator bilang.
tnpa bukti kongkret yg jlas dan mnyeluruh.
apa klian prnah mlihat kkn itu?
prnah gak?
gw gak ykin klo klian prnah melihatnya.
bo'ong bgt!

*`the fact 1.
gw gak prnah dnger kalo uang spp itu sbnrnya dbiayai oleh pmerintah.
apalagi tuk SMA.
yg gue tau si, bos trbatas hanya utk pndidikan dasar (SMP-red)
apa pemerintah kita kaya utk mndanai anggaran tahunan sluruh skolah di Indonesia stiap tahunnya?
sdgkan Indonesia msih punya masalah yg lebih pnting dari itu semua.
-membayar hutang.
mnurut buku sejarah yang gue baca.
indonesia msi punya utang US $ 148 milyar di paris club.
kalian byangin aja.
indonesia aja hnya sanggup membayar beberapa triliun rupiah saja setiap periodenya.(5 tahun-red).
sampai kapan kita bisa membayarnya?
tanya kenapa?

*`the fact 2
dia bilang dana pembangunan tahun blakangan terakhir sejak dicanangkannya pembangunan revolusioner kira-kira 5 milyar rupiah.
gue kira itu wajar aja.
scara, semua hasil dari pembangunannya udah jelas.
satu shift bangunan lantai 3 udah jadi.
dan pembangunan satu shift lainnya akan rampung akhir tahun pelajaran mendatang.
apabila tak ada halangan.
labor multimedia baru.
perpustakaan baru.
cat baru.
meja baru. ratusan buah
bangku baru. ratusan buah
papan tulis baru. puluhan jumlahnya.
apa dia pikir semuanya bisa dibeli dengan ratusan juta rupiah?
kalo kita lahir di 50 tahu keblakang.
gue kira hal itu mungkin2 aja.
malah brlebih.
ya kan?

*`conclusion.
smuanya tergantung kalian.
saya disini hanya mnyampaikan pendapat yang lebih jernih.
murni dan tidak memihak.
tanpa su'udzan malah husnudzan.

apollo landing

CONSPIRACY
Where are all the stars in the photos?
When you see pictures of the astronauts on the moon, the sky is dark and yet you can't see any stars. Why?

ANSWER
The astronauts were out and about on the moon during the day. The sun was above the horizon and was shining down on the moon's surface, the lunar module and the astronaut's white spacesuits. In order to take photos of these relatively bright objects a fast shutter speed was used. This will capture the brightly lit objects (astronauts, Lunar module, moon) but not dim objects (stars). When the astronauts looked overhead they would have seen plenty of stars but with the fast shutter speed on the camera none were caught on film.

fact about apollo

Bill Dines, in his posts #821004, 821005, 821008 and 821010, argues that a series of Apollo 11 photos, showing Buzz Aldrin descending the LM ladder, has been staged. Many of Bill's arguments are directed against the lighting seen in the photos. Although I have some experience in photography, lighting is not my area of expertise; thus, let me direct you to another Web page:

PHOTO ANALYSIS: Buzz's Hot Spot

This Web page, by the authors of Moon Base Clavius, presents what I believe is a very convincing rebuttal to Bill's allegations. In fact, I urge everyone who has an interest in this topic to read the entire Clavius Web site. It contains some fabulous insight and is very well written.

Let us now proceed to the claims of Jack White. In his posts #820802, 820804, 808805, 820806, 820808, 820810, 820812, 820814, 820815, 820817, and 820818, Jack shows us several photos from the Apollo 17 mission, which he claims have been fabricated. After only a few minutes studying these photos, I noticed several fundamental flaws in Jack's arguments.

Let's start by taking a look at the following image, from Jack's post #820806:

Jack claims that the hill on the right is the same in each photo, but even a cursory review shows that it is NOT the same. Below I have identified three distinct features visible in each photo and connected them by red lines. (WARNING! The hoax theorists often make claims of 'identical' backgrounds; however, it usually takes only a few seconds of close examination to identify subtle but distinct differences.

sterotype of Emo.

Emo is often associated with a certain fashion; although it is unclear as to whether the contemporary fashion directly emerged from Emo music's original fashion image or whether Emo was ever identified with any particular clothing, since the mid-80's. Today, however, the term "emo" is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirt (sometimes short sleeved) which often bear the names of emo bands (or other designer shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses. Emo fashion has changed with time. Early trends included straight, unparted hair, tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets. This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad. In recent years the popular media has associated emo with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angsty. It is also associated with depression, self-injury, and suicide

fact about aurora.

Auroras (north/south polar lights; or aurorae, sing.: aurora) are natural colored light displays in the sky, usually observed at night, particularly in the polar zone. They typically occur in the ionosphere. Some scientists call them "polar auroras". In northern latitude, the effect is known as the aurora borealis, named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind,Boreas. It often appears as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the sun was rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is only visible in the North sky from the Northern Hemisphere. The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and from March to April. The Cree call this phenomenon the Dance of the Spirits.

Its southern counterpart, the aurora australis/southern polar lights, has similar properties. Australis is the Latin word for "of the South".

Benjamin Franklin first brought attention to the "mystery of the Northern Lights." He theorized the shifting lights to a concentration of electrical charges in the polar regions intensified by the snow and other moisture.

glacier's photos

here is the photos. fact us that global warming was running in our life. do you believe that?

love

everyone is need to be loved. it's no matter who they are. sometimes, someone always tell me that he/she is so alone. he/she said that, "i'm so alone and felt lonely. i didn't have someone who always gave me some love. i felt bored."
yeah. maybe there is one of the most people say. but, one thing that you must know is don't afraid cause love is how we give the best thing that we have to someone even he/she didn't give the best thing for us too. love is not what we want. but, what we give.
so, start to give some of your love to every people and wait that one of them can come back to us too. is'nt what Allah always give for us, isn't it?

the green house effect

global warming is one of the most isuue in this century. it can cause our earth dangerous for our live if we don't want to solve this problem. before, that, we must know how was the green house effect happen. here a picture about that.
