There is no stopping rock and roll. Since its birth in the fifties, rock and roll has become the liveliest force in popular culture. It was born as a child of jazz, blues, and country music. More recently, it has been influenced by movies, television, sex, drugs, art, literature, and electronics. Since its birth, rock and roll has grouped and regrouped into an explosion of styles: folk rock, soul, motown, hard rock, jazz rock, country rock, heavy metal, punk rock, reggae, new wave, rap, and so on. Each type has its own style, themes, and stars. Two of the more successful styles are rap and reggae.

One of the newer styles of rock and roll is rap. Rap is a form of dance music in which singers – rappers – speak in rhythm and rhyme fasther than sing. Rap first appeared in the mid-seventies in the discos of New York City’s black neighbourhoods. Disco DJs teamed up with rappers to play songs for dancers at parties. At first, the role of the rapper was to keep the beat going with hand claps while the DJ changed record. Soon, rappers added lyrics, slogans, rhymes, and call and-response exchanges with the audience. Early rap songs were mainly about dancing, partying, and the romantic adventures of the rappers, but politics became an important theme in the late eighties and nineties. Although rap is primarily the music of young black males, the first white rappers appeared in 1980, and a woman rapper, Queen Latifah, began her career in 1989. M.C. Hammer’s 1990 album, Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em, has sold fifteen million copies, making it the best-selling rap album of the decade.

Another style of rock and roll is reggae, which was born on the Caribbean Island of Jamaica in the sixties and spread throughout the world in the seventies. It developed from a kind of Afro Caribbean music called mento, which was sung and played on guitars and drums. Some musicians changed mento into a music style called ska by adding a hesitation beat. A few years later, other musicians changed ska, and reggae was born. Reggae’s special sound comes from reversing the roles of the instruments: The guitar plays the rhythm and the bass plays the melody. An important influence on reggae music was the Rastafarian cult. The Rastafarians added unusual sound mixes, extra-slow tempos strange lyrics, and mysticalpolitical themes. The best known reggae musician in the United States is Bob Marley.

Rock and roll music is constantly changing. New styles are born, grow, change, and produce offshoots, which in turn grow, change, and produce offshoots. Some styles enjoy lasting popularity, but others disappear rather quickly. However, all contribute to the power and excitement of rock and roll music in our time.

Stress is an experience that puts pressure or a requirement on us. That pressure means we have to adjust to our new situation or environment. Stress can last for a short period, as when a driver has to act to avoid having an accident, or it can last longer, as when a woman is told she has a medical problem and thus must change her diet or daily routine in order to become well again. We all experience stress in different ways. Some people experience stress as just a nervous or busy feeling. Other people experience stress so strongly that it may cause them to seek professional help at a hospital. Still other people may die from experiencing so much stress that it leads to heart disease or other serious health-related problems. Sometimes these health-related problems are physical, and other times they, are psychological. Some people have a personality type that causes them to experience stress more than others. These people are often impatient, competitive, and aggressive and are always short on time.

21 Affandi adalah putra R. Koesoema, seorang mantri ukur di pabrik gula Ciledug, Cirebon. Affandi memiliki pendidikan formal yang cukup tinggi. Bagi orang-orang segenerasinya, hanya segelintir anak negeri saja yang memperoleh pendidikan HIS, MULO, dan AMS. Akan tetapi, bakat seni lukisnya yang sangat kuat mengalahkan disiplin ilmu lain dalam kehidupannya. Bakat itu menjadikan nama Affandi tenar, sama dengan nama-nama tokoh atau pemuka bidang lainnya. Sebelum menjadi pelukis, Affandi pernah menjadi guru, tukang sobek karcis, dan pembuat gambar reklame bioskop di salah satu gedung bioskop di Bandung.

Departemen Agama seharusnya sanggup menyelenggarakan ibadah haji secara lebih baik. Sesuai dengan undang-
undang terbaru, departemen ini tetap menjadi regulator sekaligus operator, bahkan ikut menentukan anggota komisi

pengawas. Peningkatan kualitas pelayanan diharapkan terjadi lewat pembenahan manajemen. Keluhan mulai
muncul ketika belum ada perbaikan yang berarti. Lihatlah, baru-baru ini 89 anggota jemaah calon haji dari Jakarta
dilaporkan mengalami diare saat berada di Madinah. Penderitaan mereka diduga akibat makanan yang basi atau
tidak memenuhi standar kesehatan. Insiden seperti ini tidak perlu terjadi seandainya perusahaan katering menjaga
kualitas makanan yang disajikan. Kualitas layanan akan terjamin lagi jika tim kesehatan selalu mengecek dan

1. PERDAGANGAN BEBAS ASEAN – CHINA
Kesepakatan perdagangan bebas ASEAN-China seharusnya bisa menjadi peluang emas bagi Indonesia untuk memasuki pasar China. Kesepakatan perdagangan bebas itu dilaksanakan mulai Januari 2010. Dengan kesepakatan perdagangan bebas (FTA) itu, bea masuk untuk lebih dari 7.000 komoditas akan diturunkan menjadi nol persen.
Saat krisis ekonomi dunia, ekonomi China dan Indonesia tetap tumbuh positif. Ini merupakan titik terang untuk memperdalam hubungan ekonomi dan perdagangan bilateral. Tahun 2008 nilai perdagangan Indonesia-China mencapai 31,5 miliar dolar AS, tertinggi selama ini. Jumlah tersebut melebihi target yang ditetapkan untuk dicapai pada tahun 2010, yaitu 30 miliar dolar AS.
Menteri Perindustrian mengakui, China telah siap dengan implementasi FTA. Untuk industri tekstil, misalnya, China bukan hanya produsen terbesar di dunia, tetapi juga industri yang efisien. China menguasai industri tekstil dari hulu hingga hilir. China merupakan kompetitor berat bagi Indonesia, terlebih di tekstil. Saat ini Indonesia baru mulai melakukan restrukturisasi permesinan tekstil. Akan tetapi China terbuka terhadap implementasi FTA ASEAN-China. Persoalannya kini pada kesiapan industri di negara-negara ASEAN.

5. MUSIM KEMARAU DI BANTEN
Ribuan hektare sawah di Provinsi Banten kekeringan menyusul musim kemarau, serta tidak berfungsinya saluran irigasi di sebagian daerah. Akibatnya sebagian petani mengalami kerugian karena sudah terlanjur mengolah sawah.
Berdasarkan pantauan, sawah yang mengalami kekeringan di antaranya terlihat di daerah pesisir pantai utara Banten. Sawah-sawah kering itu berada di Kecamatan Kasemen, Kota Serang, serta Pontang, Tirtayasa, dan Tanara di Kabupaten Serang.
Sementara itu menurut data yang dihimpun Dinas Pertanian dan Peternakan (Distanak) Banten, luas sawah yang kekeringan sudah mencapai 4.545 hektare. Sebagian besar lahan yang mengalami kekeringan berada di Kabupaten Lebak dan Serang.
Meski demikian, hanya 465 hektare tanaman padi yang mengalami puso. Dengan demikian, kekeringan pada musim kemarau tahun ini tidak akan mengganggu target produksi padi. Bahkan, Distanak memprediksikan, Banten akan mengalami surplus produksi hingga 300.000 ton gabah kering panen (GKP).
Tahun 2008 saja sawah surplus sampai 71.000 ton GKP. Padahal, sawah yang kekeringan sampai 13.900 hektar. Hingga bulan Agustus 2009, produksi padi sudah mencapai 1,5 juta ton GKP.

Motion sickness comes in many forms, not just seasickness. Ninety percent of the human race is susceptible to motion sickness of one kind or another. Some people become sick when they sit in the backseat of a car; others cannot read or look at a map in any kind of moving vehicle. People get motion sickness on airplanes, motorcycles, amusement park rides, and even on camels! Scientists have learned that motion sickness occurs when the brain is trying to make sense of a situation and there are too many conflicting messages. While the eyes are sending one message, the ears are trying to send a message about balance. The skin and bone joints, sensitive to air pressure send another message.

Many people who have experienced violent motion sickness try to avoid travel. But that is not always possible. So travelers should employ some well-known strategies to avoid getting sick. The most useful strategy concerns food: eat a light meal before traveling and bring along a packet of plain soda crackers to snack on regularly. Avoid alcoholic and carbonated beverages, high-fat foods, and spices. Care in choosing the location of your seat is another important strategy. In a car, sit at the front and keep your eyes fixed on the horizon.

People who still got sick after trying these strategies can try medical help. Some rely on over-the counter medications, although some of them can make you sleepy. Others use simple ginger capsules to settle their stomach. A large number of travelers use pressure bands on their wrists. It is not clear how these bands work, but they do prevent motion sickness.

Traditional nineteenth-century education is usually associated with the image of a stern teacher standing in front of a blackboard in a one-room schoolhouse, teaching only the three R’s of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and demanding rote (mechanical repetition) learning in an atmosphere of silence and restraint. Accurate or not, that image conflicts sharply with the modern reality. Today, the typical public school offers students a diversity of subject areas, a plethora of educational materials, and a variety of activities from creative dramatics to journalism. The modern school complex contains an array of educational facilities. Within the classroom setting, students are encouraged to speak up and engage in guided discussion. In fact, articulate speech and debate are desirable skills. Children are encouraged to interrelate on class projects that are independent of the teacher.
