The Beautiful Scenery and Fresh Air of Pangrango Mountain
When we have arrived on the Pangrango mountain on Puncak, Bogor, the fresh
water and beauty landscape is receiving us firstly. Eventhough the distance is
so far enough from the capital city, Jakarta, but people is still going to
there. Their main destination is giving theirself the relaxation and
refreshing from their tired full routine activities. Automatically,
people who get tired in their daily activities will be enjoy when they got fun
and feel comfort there.
Over there, I had ever felt the comfortable condition. The distance between
Puncak Pass and my house is so far enough and feel tired on the street, however
those all can be paid by getting our destination on there. We can see the
beautiful green lands tea around us from puncak pass. Besides that the curving
street and the villa house are seen by us as one of panorama which is served by
this nature tourism.
Pangrango Mountain or Puncak Pass that usually is called by us is the famous
nature tourism for domestic tourist even foreigner. It is possible if the
Puncak Pass become the best tourism destination in Ciawi Bogor, West Java.
Moreover as the nature tourism, Puncak Pass is known as area which produced
many kinds of tea. The Biggest tea garden ( PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VIII
Gunung Mas ) is built by colonialism government about many years ago. The tea
garden has produced many kinds of tea, such as black tea and green tea. It is
became the landmark of area by local government.
In addition we can find many recreations place and
agricultural tourism there, such as The large garden of green tea, hang glider
and cycling mountain sport area. The interesting famous recreations place are
the safari park, flowers garden, and a mosque with unique and simple architecture
that usually called Atta’awun, for moslems. If you get tired on puncak, don’t
worry, there are so many villas that available for all tourist. In fact,
the villas is has reached cost by all visitor for one night or more.
Not only recreation places and agricultural tourism that we found
on Pangrango Mountain, but also many venders street which sold some snacks.
Many tourist who wants to buy or to taste the sweets from them, such as
barbeque corns, toast bread, the cassava chip, etc. For drinks like a cup of
coffee, a glass of ginger and the hot chocolate. Absolutely, a cup of tea as
the special drinks from this area. Therefore, Puncak Pass is not famous tourism
place only with the beauty scenery, but also as culinary places that always visited
by domestic and international tourist, especially on the week end or
holiday.

Idul Adha Event as The Way of Keeping The Faithfulness and
Tolerance in People
Moslems in the world is attending their biggest moment that different with Idul
fitri usually called as Idul Adha or Idul Kurban.
We can see the activities of cutting animals as the sacrificing sacred
religious ceremonial in many places. Country which has majority moslem people
always held this religious program to show their faithfulness to god and can be
useful for others. People always cut the mammals, such as cows, buffaloes,
goats, sheeps, and camels as the Kurban’s animals.
The Idul Adha program always be held on Dzulhizah moslem’s month, actually on
every Dzulhizah 13 th,or same with the condition moslems in Arafah Desert,
Saudi Arabia that doing wukuf together. Over there, they follow and
remmember the history of Ibrahim and Ismail prophet. About many
years ago, They got challenge from Allah to show their faithfulness. Ibrahim
dream and got commandement from god to cut his beloved son, Ismail, as his
sacrificing. Ibrahim told his dream to his son fully about commandement to cut
his neck. Ismail agreed with the god’s commandement to show their faithful to
god, but when Ibrahim would cut Ismail’s neck, Allah changed him by the big
goat which appeared suddenly.
The story of Ibrahim and Ismail prophet that is made the way of moslems
to show their faithfulness to god and giving full to another who need
helping in the future. People can get some meanings from Idul Adha event.
They can give helping to another who still in down economical situation. In
other hand, they can also learn how to keeping the tolerance in people
that had described by Ibrahim and Ismail prophet story that showed us about the
lesson of faithfulness to the biggest god, Allah SWT and finished the
challenges patiently.

Once upon time, there was a family
lion that lived in field of South Africa, named the pride land. The family was
leading by wise leader, Mufasa. He lead his family and other members tribe with
fair and wise. Therefore, he was honored not only by lions, but also other
species even herbivore. Mufasa always kept quote word of his generation, circle
of life, that means respect to the others species for conserve their habitat.
Mufasa had a wife, Sarabi, one day
she born a son, named Simba. They were very happy with Simba presence. All
species around them also glad with Simba presence. Mufasa had a closest friend
that was an old monkey, Rafiki. Simba was announced and introduced to all
animals by Rafiki. Everyone giving the appreciation and honor for little Simba
because he would be future king for all animals.
However,
in the celebration for Simba presence, Mufasa felt a strangeness. He did not
see his brother, Scar, in the ceremonial born. Mufasa came to him, and ask why
Scar did not come in Simba welcoming. Scar said that his self was not true if
came in ceremonial king family. Mufasa refused Scar’s statement, he said that
there is no different in our family, all same as creatures in circle of life.
Even though, mufasa had sent his best friend a bird, Zazu, to invite Scar came
to simba presence, but Scar still particular. Actually, Scar felt jealous to
Mufasa, he wanted be king but never, because all species wanted Mufasa and his
generation to be king.
One time, when Mufasa stayed slept,
Simba was waking up his father to go around with him. Mufasa decided to go
around with his son and showed their land. He said to Simba that “everything
the light touches is our kingdom”. Simba felt greatness with it, but he curious
about the dark land which near their land. Mufasa said that Simba do not ever
go there, because that is danger district. In their trip, Mufasa gave some many
lesson for Simba that life must keep balance with each other, for example,
antelope eat grass, and the carnivore must keep antelope’s habitat, don’t hunt
them excessively. Simba remember what his father said to keep the circle of
life in order to undestroyed.
After Mufasa and Simba had walked
around the land, Simba visited his uncle, Scar, to asked something. He asked
about why his self had forbidden to visited the dark land. Scar said “only the
bravest lion could go there, and you still young enough to visit it”. Simba
denied his uncle’s statement, he said “I am a brave lion, although I am a cub”.
In silence, Scar had a bad plan for Simba and Mufasa. He wanted they got
accident until die. Then, Scar made some trap for them. He tried to gave
influence for Simba to visits the danger land, the graveyard elephant.
Simba who still young had
influence’s Scar easily. He went to the elephant graveyard with his female
friend, Nala. He curious why Scar said only the bravest lion can go there. When
Simba and Nala just arrived on elephant graveyard, suddenly, three hyenas came
to close them. They were panic and scared. Simba and Nala shouted help and run
quickly from hyenas, however, Mufasa came unexpectedly to save them. The hyenas
run down with Mufasa’s roar. Mufasa felt disappointed with Simba, furthermore,
why he disobeyed his rule. Simba said that he just want to be brave lion as his
father. Then Mufasa said, “being brave not means looking for trouble, and the
brave will come in the right time”. Simba understood and gave swear never did
again.
One afternoon, Scar who had evil plan came to
Simba, and took him to one large land. He said “if you want being brave lion,
you should made loudest roar”. Simba agreed and waited him under the tree while
attempted to roaring loudly. Suddenly, the three hyenas in under control of
Scar just ready to made deer stampede. Of course, It was made to death of Simba.
The hyenas attacked deer, and the tribe of deer run directly to Simba. He was
panic and run quickly to save his life. The slick Scar told this stampede to
Mufasa. Mufasa run immediately to save Simba which in danger. He saw his son

from the pride land. All creatures in the pride land also were sad and felt
loss for Mufasa’s death, and Scar told to them that Simba had gone too.
Simba attempted to went to other
land. He just arrived in dry land and nothing anymore. Suddenly, he had fainted
there. A few minutes later, there were 2 unique creature, Pumba as the pig and
Timon as squirrel. They saw there was a cub on the land, and come to close him.
They realized finally that was a lion. Timon and Pumba carried Simba to saved

The
Four Suns Arisen in China’s Sky
The natural phenomenon of appearing four suns in China had surprised
people there. It is impossible phenomenon that never thought by the citizens.
Chinese had known the phenomenon from the video have been sharing in public.
How do the phenomenon can be happened in China’s sky ? the answers will
investigate in this topic together.
In local journal news, the appearing
four suns is explained in science as atmospheric phenomenon that familiar in
scientist community. The name’s phenomenon is sun dog which is seen with
parhelic circle on the sky. It said that
the appearing of four suns in China as the natural phenomenon is happened
rarely in the earth.
The explanation of the phenomenon is
classified by Thomas Djamaludin as senior astronomy and astrophisycs in The
National Institute of Aviation and Space, while was calling on Wednesday
(25/8). Thomas said “ this phenomenon is created by sunshine deviation on ice
cristal, the phenomenon is usually arisen in east that is not far from natural
skyline”. Absolutely, from the skyline as place sunrise usually appears ice
crystals which is deviated the shine. Normally, it created two phenomenons are
usually called as halo and sun dog.
What do will happen in next time,
actually? After the natural phenomenon happened around us, such as the melting
of north pole, meteorite in Cirebon and sun tsunami. Perhaps, it is a warning
for us that human have to consider about the biggest power in the world is the
mighty god, Allah SWT, So everyone can increase their faithfulness everytime.

The Article :
'Alien
Earth' is among eight new far-off planets
By Jonathan Webb Science reporter, BBC News, Seattle Artist's
impression: Kepler has identified many exoplanets but few are within their
star's "Goldilocks zone" One of eight new planets spied in distant
solar systems has usurped the title of "most Earth-like alien world",
astronomers have said. All eight were picked out by Nasa's Kepler space
telescope, taking its tally of such "exoplanets" past 1,000. But only
three sit safely within the "habitable zone" of their host star - and
one in particular is rocky, like Earth, as well as only slightly warmer.
The find was revealed at a
meeting of the American Astronomical Society. Red sky. The three potentially habitable planets join Kepler's "hall of fame", which now boasts eight fascinating
planetary prospects. And researchers say the most Earth-like of the new
arrivals, known as Kepler 438b, is probably even more similar to our home than
Kepler 186f - which previously looked to be our most likely twin.
At 12% larger than Earth, the new claimant is bigger than
186f but it is closer to our temperature, probably receiving just 40% more heat
from its sun than we do from our. So if we could stand on
the surface of 438b it may well be warmer than here, according to Dr Doug
Caldwell from the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) Institute in California.
"And
it's around a cooler [red dwarf] star... so your sky would look redder than
ours does to us," Dr Caldwell said. With the three new arrivals, Kepler's
'hall of fame' expands to eight small, habitable-zone exoplanets That
first-person encounter, however, is unlikely - both because the planet is 475
light-years away and because we still have essentially no idea what it's made
of.
Images from the Kepler telescope, which trails behind the Earth and peers far into the distance as we
orbit our own sun, are used to identify far-off planets by observing
"transits". This refers to the dimming of a star's light when a
planet passes in front of it.
- Launched in 2009, the Kepler space telescope sought to find Earth-like
worlds orbiting distant stars in the Constellation Lyra
- It used the so-called transit
technique - looking for the periodic dips
in light as exoplanets pass in front of their host stars
- Last year, a single release of
Kepler results added 715 exoplanets to the tally
- How does the Kepler telescope work?
- How rare is our blue planet?
A large team of researchers then uses additional data from
Earth-bound telescopes to further explore these unfamiliar solar systems. They
try to calculate how big the planets are, and how closely they orbit their host
stars. Not everything that causes such a dimming eventually turns out to be a
planet, however. At the same time as the eight confirmed new exoplanets were
announced by a 26-strong team spanning Nasa and multiple US institutions, the
Kepler mission's own scientists released another tranche of more than 500
"candidate" planets.
"With further observation, some
of these candidates may turn out not to be planets," said Kepler science
officer, Fergal Mullally. "Or as we understand their properties better,
they may move around in, or even outside, the
habitable zone." 'Star Trek' scenario. Even once scientists have anointed
a candidate as a confirmed exoplanet, the question of whether or not it is
"Earth-like" is a fraught one, with fuzzy boundaries.
The size of the habitable, or "Goldilocks" zone,
where a planet is far enough from its sun to hold water but not so distant that
it freezes, depends on how confident scientists want to be with their
guess-work. According to Dr Cardwell, just three of the eight new exoplanets
can be confidently placed in that zone - and only two of those are probably
rocky like the Earth. More detailed description is very difficult.
An artist's view of Kepler 186f, which experts say has now
been pipped as "most Earth-like" known exoplanet "From the Kepler measurements and the
other measurements we made, we don't know if these planets have oceans with
fish and continents with trees," Dr Caldwell told BBC News. "All we
know is their size and the energy they're receiving from their star. "So
we can say: Well, they're of a size that they're likely to be rocky, and the
energy they're getting is comparable to what the Earth is getting. "As we
fill in these gaps in our solar system that we don't have, we learn more about what it means to be Earth-like, in some
sense."
Speaking at a related event at the conference, Prof Debra
Fischer from Yale University said she remembered a time before the first exoplanet was discovered, more than two decades
ago. "I remember astronomers before that point being very worried,"
she said. "We really had to step back and say: Maybe the Star Trek picture
is wrong. That filled me with despair." Prof Fischer said that sensitive
telescopes like Kepler had ushered in an era of "amazing and impressive
work". "We're talking about a planet - and we can only see its star
with a powerful telescope. "And we can draw graphs and sketch its
composition and have serious scientific discussions. This is incredible."

1.
Find out some prepositions that direct
about time, place or which have other meaning!
Answer:
a. At
= direct the place, it follows the statement a meeting of the American
astronomical
Society
b. In
= directs the place, it follows the word
California (name of city)
c. On

of planet
d. Behind = directs the place, it the Earth and peers far into the
distance as we orbit
our own sun
e. Looking
for = it means searching, and it directs the time
because telling the periodic
dips
f. Move
around = It
means doing something, it directs the place for the habitable zone.
g.
About =
directs the place, it tells about earth like
