Since many years ago the government of Indonesia realized the importance of enhancing welfare and prosperity for all people in Indonesia. Therefore, the government made some efforts and one of which was to transmigrate those who were willing to settle sparsely populated area.
Prior to send the transmigrants, the government firstly enrolled them particularly those who were from slum or poor areas. They were sent by air or sea. The government also provided infrastructure such as roads, buildings and so on and so forth.
After arriving in the prescribed area the transmigrants were given a wide piece/s of land to be cultivated by them.
During the first few weeks and before getting agricultural products as crop the transmigrants got a certain amount of food from the government.
They planted some kinds of plants on their land, and later on the land become productive because this yielded some kinds of crops. The crops made the transmigrants more prosperous. So they gradually became more comfortable to live forever in their new area.

Students, can you show me your hands? Right! Now can you show me your head? Excellent! But .........Can you show me what is inside your stomach? Hmm ......... Can you show me lungs? No .........?Why? Yeah, you’re right. Because they are inside our body. So what do you think, how can we see the internal parts of our body? Yes. We use X- Ray. So, what is X – Ray? Does anybody know? No .........? Well, X-Ray is a spectrum of light. It is radiated to our body. It is used for detecting our internal body organs. Do I make myself clear? Well, Let me continue, where can you find X – Ray? Yes, that rights. It is in a hospital. And do you know who invented X – Ray? Does anybody knows? No? Oh come on ......... Nobody remembers the name? Well, X-Ray invented by a German scientist, William Conrad Roentgen. Where was I? Oh, O.K. Hmm ......... when do people get X-Ray? Correct. When they are ill. I mean when there is something wrong with their internal parts of the body. Can you give examples of illnesses? When people suffer these diseases they need X-Ray to check. Yes, cancer,...kidney trouble,...heart trouble,...tumor, etc.
Students do you know that there are many opinions concerning the use of X-Ray and others don’t agree to the use of X-Ray.
Well, some people agree that X-Ray examination is beneficial. They say doctors should use X-Ray in examining a severe illness. If doctors don’t use the X-Ray, they will miss some important information which is very useful in making a diagnose on the patient’s disease. And this will sometimes cause the doctor inaccurate in prescribing the medicine to cure the illness.
Not all patients agree with the use of X-Ray examination, however. Do you know why? Guess what? They think that using X-Ray examination will cost them a lot of money. That’s really true. Another reason is the radiation of X-Ray has some risks to the body tissues.
Well, as a result of this controversy, many people are planning a traditional health cure to avoid the high cost of hospital care. Whereas hospitals insist on having X-Ray examinations on patients to get an accurate diagnose although the cost very high.

A carpet installer decides to take a cigarette break after completing the installation in the first of several rooms he has to do. Finding them missing from his pocket, he begins searching, only to notice a small lump in his recently completed carpet-installation. Not wanting to rip up all that work for a lousy pack of cigarettes he simply walks over and pounds the lump flat. He decides to forgo the break continues to the other rooms to be carpeted.
At the end of the day he’s completed his work and loading his tools into his trucks when two events occur almost simultaneously; he spies his pack of cigarettes on the dashboard of the truck, and the lady of the house calls out “Have you seen my parakeet?”

Our sun is just an ordinary star, not special in any way. But to the people on earth it is the source of life. The nuclear radiation that goes on in the inner areas of the sun produces large quantities of energy. This energy is emitted in all directions in the form of light and heat radiation. Only our planet uses a small part of the radiated energy. Earth, for warmth and the development of life forms. Green plants have the ability to use some of the sun’s radiation to produce food.
The radiant energy emitted by our sun is not constant but varies slightly in predictable cycles. Astronomers have long known about sunspots, which are major disturbances of the sun’s outer regions. Statistical analysis of data concerning sunspots’ activity indicates a fairly well defined frequency of occurrence. A full theoretical understanding of sunspots’ activity is not currently available, but scientist hypothesizes about the nature of the instabilities of the sun’s atmosphere.
