Guys,
The following is some interesting facts about the climate change that's taking place on our lovely planet. Let's ponder about it for a bit, and think about our actions as the inhabitants of this lovely planet.
Did the earth get hotter? Yes. Is it common? Yes. Since 1900, the average temperature has increased by 0.7 degrees Celsius. Over the past 300 years, the temperature has risen by about 0.6 °C. Of course, we didn’t have cars and electricity for most of this time. So the great climate debate is not if the earth is getting hot or not but if or how we earthlings are having an impact on the global climate.
The first person to suggest climate change due to human activities was made by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius, in 1896. However, American geophysicist Roger Revelle is credited for making the first high-level global warming predictions, in 1965. Now, everyone from grandma to the United Nations is in on the debate. The only ones sitting out are the bookies, perhaps because long term predictions about the climate are too risky.
Hot and cold cycles of earth
65 million years ago the earth was hotter than now. 15,000 years ago there was the Ice Age, with temperatures about 7 °C colder than today. From 800 to 1300 AD it was hotter again, melting the sea ice, allowing Vikings and other groups to cross oceans and colonize lands; it is referred to as the Medieval Warm Period. But from 1300 to 1900 it was colder again, that period dubbed the Little Ice Age. And then, as said, it got hotter again.
2006 was the warmest year on (recent accurate) record with an average temperature of 12°C (55°F) which is 1.2°C (2.2°F) above the 20th Century mean. But 2007 was the coldest in much of the Southern Hemisphere with Australia and South America recording record low temperatures. Europe and North America experienced cold waves during 2009 with record rainfalls in many areas.
Between 1870 and 1993, global sea levels rose at an average rate of 1.7 mm per year. Between 1993 and 2003, they rose by 3.33 mm per year. This is mainly due to the polar ice caps melting – they have shrunk by one third over the past 150 years. Yet, in October 2009 the sea ice extent in the Southern Hemisphere was 2% above averages of the past decade.
The human factor
So, compared with solar activity and the general climate cycles of earth the rise in temperature should be halting about now and turn toward another little ice age. But here is the problem: according to IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control) the impact of human activities is some ten times that of natural and solar factors. The fear is that our influence will cause irreversible catastrophes.
The world’s oceans are believed to absorb about half of the total carbon emissions from human activities and those from cows. The world’s tropical forests absorb the equivalent of the total carbon dioxide emissions from the United States. Fortunately we do not drink seawater – not even fish do, they get their water intake by eating other fish and osmosis – but we massively can reduce the chopping down of trees by buying less luxury wooden items, we can also drive less and walk more, and we can throw our weight against the great global warming finance swindle.

Menuju Masa depan
Ayoo...lihatlah langkah kakimuItulah jalan kehidupanmu

Saat itu aku masih terlalu kecil, belum mengerti arti semua itu
Bunda yang selalu membimbingku dalam menapaki masadepan
Cita cita selalu tinggi di atas langit
Bila tak tercapai memang menyedihkan
tetapi jangan takut tetaplah melangkah bercita-cita
Tentukan langkah sejarah hidupmu..Janganlah berputus asa
Jangan cemas dan jangan takut, do`a bunda selalu menyertaimu
Kasih sayang itu dulu selalu kulecehkan, kusakiti hati bunda
Sekarang jauh terpisah dari bunda, baru ku sadari segalanya
Ayo, lihatlah langkah kakimu
Itulah jalan kehidupanmu
Ayo, lihatlah pula ke depan
Disanalah masa depanmu
Kasih sayang itu dulu selalu kulecehkan, kusakiti hati ibunda
Sekarang jauh terpisah dari ibunda, baru kusadari segalanya

Seringkali kita lupa bahwa mengasihi adalah menerima diri orang lain SEUTUHNYA tanpa syarat
Mengasihi Orangtua adalah bangga memiliki mereka sekalipun mereka bukan orangtua yang sempurna।
MENGASIHI ADALAH MENERIMA ORANG LAIN APA ADANYA. 
Ketika kita muda, kita senang bermain-main dengan ayah dan ibu kita.
Ketika kita tumbuh besar, kita meninggalkan mereka, dan hanya datang ketika kita memerlukan sesuatu atau dalam kesulitan.
Tak peduli apapun, orang tua kita akan selalu ada di sana untuk memberikan apa yang bisa mereka berikan untuk membuat kita bahagia।
Berusahalah untuk memberikan yang terbaik kepada orang2 yang kita sayangi 
| Jika kamu mampu untuk berpikir dahulu sebelum kamu mengeluh, Maka ketika kamu sedang bersedih dan hidupmu dalam kesusahan, Kamu masih bisa bersyukur kepada Tuhan bahwa kamu masih diberi kehidupan | |

memang kalo yang namanya cinta itu tak kenal kapan, dan dimana kita beradaDalam sebuah percintaan, janganlah kamu sesali perpisahan tetapi sesalilah pertemuan.
Karena tanpa pertemuan tidak akan ada perpisahan
Jangan sesekali mengucapkan selamat tinggal jika kamu masih mau mencoba. Jangan sesekali menyerah jika kamu masih merasa sanggup. Jangan sesekali mengatakan kamu tidak mencintainya lagi, jika kamu masih tidak dapat melupakannya.
Semua kesulitan sesungguhnya merupakan kesempatan bagi jiwa kita untuk tumbuh" (John Gray)
hidup memang tidak lepas dari berbagai tekanan. Lebih-lebih, hidup di alam modern ini yang menyuguhkan beragam risiko. Sampai seorang sosiolog Ulrich Beck menamai jaman kontemporer ini dengan masyarakat risiko (risk society). Alam modern menyuguhkan perubahan cepat dan tak jarang mengagetkan.
Nah, tekanan itu sesungguhnya membentuk watak, karakter, dan sekaligus menentukan bagaimana orang bereaksi di kemudian hari।

Kenapa airmata mengalir perlahan?
Kenapa airmata ga mengucur deras?
Kenapa airmata yg standard itu bening?
Aku ga sanggup menjawab
Karena yang kutau hanyalah
Airmata keluar perlahan supaya kita bisa meresapi hadirnya aneka rasa di jiwa,pelan....pelan...pelan kita diajari untuk mensyukuri rahmat TUHAN,ada orang bahagia nangis,ada orang sedih nangis...kenapa bentuknya air?supaya cepat larut aneka rasa itu dengan airmata.....kalo bahagia yah biar cepat hilang rasa bahagia itu,kalo sedih yah biarlah kebeningan airmata itu menghalau segala rasa sedihnya...
Dia berarti tears,mirip dengan ears....
Kita diajari olehNYA untuk mendengarkan setiap makna yang keluar dari indra penglihatan kita kembali perlahan....pelan...pelan...
Resapi setiap bisikan yang hadir melalui airmata,karena kalau kita menulikan telinga kita maka kita tidak bisa mendengarkan suara airmata yang berbisik lirih....
Udah panjang?udah pusing?dikit lagi ya
Keluarkanlah airmata kita apapun keadaan kita,susah kek,seneng kek,gembira kek,sedih kek...biarkan rasa2 itu cepat terhapus oleh lelehan airmata untuk menyambut aneka rasa baru yang akan segera hadir menyapa kita....
DIA telah mengulurkan tanganNYA,tinggal bagaimana secepatnya kita seka airmata itu lalu mendengar ada suara lirih yang berbisik tentang apa yang harus kita lakukan
Kita ada dan hadir di dunia ini tanpa bisa memilih untuk tidak ada,bahkan memilih menjadi kaum mayoritas......
Meskipun pada hakekatnya manusia adalah mahluk yang bebas untuk memilih,tetapi kita ta pernah bisa lari dari hal-hal yang dipilihkan untuk kita oleh kehidupan....
Jadilah rendah hati,supaya bisa ditinggikan
jadilah terbelakang,supaya bisa menjadi yang terdepan
jadilah baik,supaya kebaikan senantiasa menaungi
jadilah satu dengan alam karena alamlah yang memberikan kehidupan
bersyukur dan berserah mungkin jalan terbaik dan kunci ter "OK" untuk satu dengan alam

Indonesia tanah air beta.
news on tv make me sick, there is no good news, all news especially local news make people so fed up with the country, all the terible and horrible thing was flash on tv screen, and we keep consuming how bad this country was.how inappropiate government act due to many cases...
let me list what news that stayed few weeks on tv screen :
1. Gayus and his hidden treasure
2. Nunun and her lost memory
3. Nasarudin "the most wanted man"
4. TKI (pacung lah, sembelih lah, potong lah, gantung lah)
5. Naughty judges
6. Corruption
gheez this is why i hate local channel...where we can gain our love back to our country if MEDIA keep showing us how bad this country is..i agree, i know our country is in a worst condition, noone can trust anyone..but we stayed in INDONESIA dude...
dont make something bad become worst, government is all the nonsense things, all they have to do is make people in government get richer and richer but this doesnt mean that we have to create another problem by starting riot and protest in every way we can...
life is too short...all our life we should do what we can do best, like written on a bible "give what you should give to your country and give what you should give to your God" , i guess the rest let the God manage it and let people who did a bad thing get their punishment not by us , but by God, i know it sounds so lame, but who are we to judge and punish them and tell them "YOU STUPID HUMAN BEING" as we are also not perfect...
if you do love your country lets start with it with small thing you can do for your country :
1. pay your taxes (i know i hate this part too..but somehow this country need money to cover every expenses with or without additional cost that get inside people in government pocket)
2. respect each other (im chinese and im christian . the minor citizen in indonesia but i respect every single human being that different with me, i didnt say different is beautiful but its a variety, please dont judge people by the cover...not all chinese perfect so please dont judge people who non chinese is bad guy)
3. read the news, comment less, move on with your life
4. lets make indonesia a better living for our children and grand children by not THROWING RUBBISH everywhere
5. gather with your family, pray for this country
well like i said before, i just noone in this big country but i love Indonesia despite how bad it is...
so i will proud of my country no matter what happening
i know sometimes i feel the same way, complaining to my फ्रिएंडी Education of biology said how i feel the government should react on few cases but this doesnt solve anything..
like mention above, cant do big thing for the country then do the small thing...
afterall Indonesia give you air, space, life that you live for now .... cheers mate!
MERDEKA!!!!
Never be shy to say your love that you love
10th Grade
As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so-called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair. I wished she were mine, but she didn't notice me like that.
And I knew it. After class she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before, and I handed them to her.
She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her. I wanted her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why.
11th Grade
The phone rang. It was her on the other end. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, a Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks," and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why.
12th Grade
The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick," she said. He's not going to go. Well, I didn't have a date and in 7th grade we made a promise that if neither of us had dates we would go together just as "best friends," so we did.
Prom Night
After everything was over I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her. She smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said, "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...
Graduation Day
A day passed. A week passed. A month passed. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and she cried as I hugged her. Then, she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "You're my best friend, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why?
A Few Years Later
Now, I sit in the pews of the church. She is getting married, now. I watched her say, "I Do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said, "You came!" She said, "Thanks!" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...
Funeral
Years passed, and I looked down at the coffin of the girl who used to be my best friend. At the service they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: "I stare at him wishing he were mine. But he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him. I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love him, but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me?"
I wish I did too? I thought to myself, and I cried.
*This is not my story, it was something I found the other day, just though I'd share. Something that can be learned from the story, regret always comes too late.

Memorable Moments

That's why I'm so enthusiastic in making friends here in Kaskus, and in my journey, I found many people who inspired me by their life...
We have person who struggle to finish his college while working hard to earn money, so that he can pay his tuition
We have person who spend his time to learn abroad for further education
We have person who lives abroad, but longing to be Indonesia Citizen
We have person who try hard to raise English Education standard in his college
We have person who really want to learn English, though he still Junior High School
We have person who still care to help EF members, although she's busy with her daily life as teacher and translator
We have person who struggle for his idealism as musician
We have person who tries hard to manage her time between teacher and musician
We have person who fight hard against cancer
I can surely make an endless list about our friends and all of them have something special in their life!...
In a certain way, the stories can inspire other people, change their view about life, and add something to their insight.

So shall I go first?
Here's the text.
Despite the intensive and short period of the course, I was able to make friends with other students, especially those फ्रॉम Lambung mangkurat university I’ve experienced through this course is simply exemplary. Overall, it was an overwhelmingly positive experience.
thats what i got
this is just an example.
people could post their essays and whatever they need that needs corrections.
Ok... new excerpts for everyone to practice on. This paragraph was taken from an essay concerning American literatures and fiction during the period of the westward expansion. A paper i wrote several years ago when i was still an undergrad. I dont need it to be corrected per se as they're already been graded, but i just thought it might make a good practice.
Quote:
Dime novels will often leave its reader under the impression the West are a very simple place, it may be dangerous but simple nonetheless. There are usually two clear sides, good and bad, and it is clear which character is on which side. A brave, kind, unselfish, self-sacrificing character who cannot be defeated by his enemy and possess a saint-like quality is an even money bet to turn out to be the hero in almost any dime westerns. The early and more idealistic version of western heroes was perhaps a reflection of the Western landscape in its early days, naïve, idealistic, and simple. But over time these western heroes evolve and change. They evolve from the ideal image of a hero into characters such as Clint Eastwood’s Bill Munny from Unforgiven (1992) and the nameless detective of Dashiel Hammet’s Red Harvest. The evolution of fictional Western Heroes from an idealistic portrayal to a flawed anti-hero signifies the abandonment of romantic and ideal image of the western frontier and reflects its changing state of mind into a modern and mature civilization. With the disappearance of American Indian as a viable threat, the western movement of settlers and homesteaders began. Perception of early settlements and life in the western frontier in its early days was perhaps a little convoluted due to the lack of true and detailed account. Nevertheless, many writers believe this period of western history as a significant part of American identity and they were captivated with the idea of romanticizing the West and ended up portraying it in an ideal and simple manner. Often times, that means that they were not particularly concerned with reality and excluding complexity in their depiction of life in the western frontier. Frederick Elkin’s journal “The Psychological Appeal of the Hollywood Western” deals with the creation of trends in western fiction. Concerning the characteristic of a western fiction, particularly the ones that was heavy its romanticism of the west, he commented, “There are two basic characteristic to all westerns—action and simplicity” (74). Simplicity means that there’s always a clear distinction between the good and the bad, and no in-between or gray areas. There could be no complexity in a western because it would compromise its romantic and ideal image. The society was influenced to accept the view the romantic and ideal version of the west as a reality. The perception of the west was this ideal and simple realm, and it was only fitting that the western heroes of this era, as a reflection of that perception, were as ideal and romantic as the realm that they represented.
