    The view that women are better parents than men has shown itself to be true throughout history. This is not to say that men are not of importance in child rearing; indeed, they are most necessary if children are to appreciate fully the roles of both sexes. But women have proven themselves superior parents as a result of their conditioning, their less aggressive nature and their generally better communication skills From the time they are little girls, females learn about nurturing. First with dolls and later perhaps with younger brothers and sisters, girls are given the role of carer. Girls see their mothers in the same roles and so it is natural that they identify this as a female activity. Boys, in contrast, learn competitive roles far removed from what it means to nurture. While boys may dream of adventures, girls’ conditioning means they tend to see the future in terms of raising families. Girls also appear to be less aggressive than boys. In adulthood, it is men, not women, who prove to be the aggressors in crime and in war. Obviously, in raising children, a more patient, gentle manner is preferable to a more aggressive one. Although there certainly exist gentle men and aggressive women, by and large, female are less likely to resort to violence in attempting to solve problems. Finally, women tend to be better communicators than men. This is shown in intelligence tests, where females, on average’, do better in verbal communication than males. Of course, communication is of utmost importance in rearing children, as children tend to learn from and adopt the communication styles of their parents. Thus, while it is all very well to suggest a greater role for men in raising children, let us not forget that women are generally better suited to the parenting role.

    Tomatoes are full of nutrients and are an especially good source of antioxidant vitamins. In fact, one serving of tomato will give you 40% of your recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. Diets rich in fruit and vegetables are associated with lower risks of many diseases and a diet which includes high intake of tomatoes has been shown to protect against prostate cancer. Tomatoes are by far the richest source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, which gives the tomato its red colour. No other food contains this high level of antioxidant. Lycopene is highest in processed tomato foods, such as tomato puree, because they are concentrated.

    While fats have lately acquired a bad image, one should not forget how essential they are. Fats provide the body’s best means of storing energy, a far more efficient energy source than either carbohydrates or proteins. They act as insulation against cold, or cushioning for the internal organs, and as lubricants. Without fats, energy would have no way to utilize fat soluble vitamins. Furthermore, some fats contain fatty acids that contain necessary growth factors and help with the digestion of other foods.

    Tangkasi merupakan satwa primata keturunan satwa purba. Tangkasi yang termasuk spesies tarsius ini disebut juga binatang hantu yang lucu. Bentuk dan anatomi binatang ini mirip monyet. Mukanya lucu karena sepasang matanya yang besar mencolok dan besar kupingnya tegak yang tak proporsional dengan mukanya yang kecil. Tubuhnya yang berbulu halus abu-abu kekuningan dan berkilat hanya setinggi 9,5 – 14 sentimeter dengan jumbaian bulu di ujung yang mirip kuas. Tangkasi ini termasuk kelas mamalia atau binatang menyusui. Dilihat dari jenis makanannya, binatang ini termasuk insektivora dan juga karnivora.

Jika hari mulai gelap, mereka bergentayangan dan meloncat-loncat mencari makanan. Menjelang munculnya surya pagi, mereka cepat-cepat masuk sarang lagi. Tangkasi ini merupakan salah satu satwa endemik khas Sulawesi. Sebetulnya tangkasi termasuk spesies tarsius ini juga terbesar di Sumatra, Kalimantan, dan di kepulauan Maluku.

    Nobody actually wants to hurt the feelings of others but, as business becomes ever more international, it is increasingly easy to get it wrong. There may be a single European market but it does not mean that managers behave the same in Greece as they do in Denmark.

    In Many European countries handshaking is an automatic gesture. In France good manners require that on arriving at a business meeting a manager shakes hands with everyone present. This can be a demanding task and, in a crowded room, may require great efforts if the farthest hand is to be reached.

    Handshaking is almost as popular in other countries – including Germany, Belgium, and Italy. But Northern Europeans, such as the British and Scandinavians, are not quite so fond of physical demonstrations of friendliness.

    In Europe the most common challenge is not the content of the food, but the way you behave as you eat. Some things are just not done. In France it is not good manners to raise questions of business over the main course. Business has its place; after the cheese course. Unless you are prepared to eat in silence you have to talk about something -something, that is, other than the business deal which you are continually thinking about.

    In Germany, as you walk sadly back to your hotel room, you may wonder why your apparently friendly hosts have not invited you out for the evening. Don’t worry, it is probably nothing personal. Germans do not entertain business people with quite the same enthusiasm as some of their European counterparts.

    The Germans are also notable for the amount of formality they bring to business. As an outsider, it is often difficult to know whether colleagues have been working together for 30 years or have just met in the lift. If you are used to calling people by their first names this can be a little strange. To the Germans, titles are important. Forgetting that someone should be called Herr Doctor or Frau Direktorin might cause serious offence. It is equally offensive to call them by a title they do not possess.

    These cultural challenges exist side by side with the problems of doing business in a foreign language. Language, of course, is full of difficulties – disaster may be only a syllable away, But the more you know of the culture of the country you are dealing with, the less likely you are to get into difficulties. It is worth the efforts. It might be rather hard to explain that the reason you lost the contract was not the product of the price, but the fact that you offended your hosts in a light-hearted comment over the wine served. Good manners are admired but they can also make or break the deal.

    Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making waffle for his son, he wondered what would happen if he poured rubber into his waffle iron. So, he tried it and the result looked something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took this idea to several existing shoe companies he was literally laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather disappointed, Bowerman was determined and went on to form his own company, making NIKE athletic shoes,

    In the last few thousand years many civilizations have risen to a high level of development and then collapsed. As far as we know none of them had such a sophisticated technology as we developed, but nevertheless they produced remarkable and long lasting artifacts, such as the great pyramids and the sphinx of Egypt, the arch at Ctesiphon and the extra ordinary stone constructions of Middle America. The civilization of Knossos in Crete even had plumbing on the third floor. Some of these civilizations were destroyed by barbarian invasions, others by earthquakes, fires or other disasters and some in Mexico apparently collapsed purely as a result of the irreversible growth of top heavy bureaucracy. In all of them, however, their collapse has had a central case, which was the run down or degeneration of the overall motivation, spirit, or ethos of the social system.

    Dua unggulan dunia bertanding, dan tidak kalah seru dari pertandingan tinju, event ini diliputi besar-besaran oleh medis elektronik nasional. Bahkan sponsornya, Intel Corp, mengembangkan situs web yang memungkinkan peminat mengamati pertandingan langsung melalui internet. Empat kali seminggu, sekitar dua ratus penonton duduk pada dereran kursi-kursi plastik, di dalam ruang setinggi awan, lantai ke-107 di puncak. Word Trade Center New York . Penonton kadangkadang terpukau penuh perhatian, mengikuti komentator yang fasih, Maurice Ashley, menganalisis langkah mengejutkan yang diambil Anand. Master internasional yang orang Amerika berkulit hitam ini, memandu penonton melewati setiap pertandingan menggunakan insight seorang pecatur ulung dan dengan entusiasme pandangan mata sepakbola. Meskipun ada juga penjual minuman, taruhan, dan undian bagi penonton, suasan tontonan yang satu ini lebih reflektif daripada bersorak-sorai. Pertandingan catur memang bukan untuk ditonton, melainkan diamati dan dianalis.

    Di dalam “ring” kaca itu sendiri suasana hening, penuh konsentrasi. Kasparov, 32 tahun, tampak lebih seperti petinju daripada intelektual kelas berat. Rambutnya yang dipotong cepak bertabur uban, menjual pigura wajah persegi yang keras lugas. Merunduk seperti benteng menghadapi matador, kepalanya nyaris di atas atas papan catur. Ia merenungi langkah demi langkah dengan penuh perhitungan. Bernaung di bawah alis dan keningnya yang menjorok ke depan, matanya yang tajam memancarkan pandangan yang mirip sinar laser yang sekan-akan dapat melelehkan bidak-bidak Anand. Sebaliknya, Anand si penantang, 25 tahun, bertopang dagu dan berkaca mata, tampak seperti akuntan yang lagi kerja keras mempelajari dengan jeli kolom-kolom perhitungan yang rumit.

    Kasparov memasuki turnamen sebagai unggulan favorit. Namun demikian lambat laun terbukti ia tidak dapat segera menumbangkan lawannya seperti yang dilakukan terhadap Nigel Short tahun 1993 dulu. Ia danAnand melampaui rekor delapan kali berturut- turut bermain seri. Kedua pemain bermain konservatif sejak awal turnamen mungkin dampak daya pikat satu juta dolar bagi pemenang. “permainan Anand lain daripada biasanya, yang gancar dengan serangan. Kali ini ia sangat hati- hati,” komentar salah satu grand master. Anand mematahkan rangkaian seri pada langkah ke-27, membuat kasparov bertekuk lutut setelah mengorbankan satu benteng untuk satu kuda. KemenanganAnand merupakan perkembangan yang menggairahkan bagi para pendukungnya, yang tadinya mimpi pun tidak. Peringkat unggulan dalam catur selama ini didominasi Negara yang dulu disebut Uni Soviet. Dari dua belas juara dunia, Anand adalah satusatunya yang lahir di luar Blok Timur. Jadi kalah atau menang, bertahan pada babak ke- sembilan merupakan prestasi yang menggetarkan. Di India, unggulnya Anand membangkitkan kembali dunia catur di negeri yang mungkin tempat kelahirannya 2.000 tahun yang lalu. Baru-baru ini di Madras diadakan pertandingan catur siswa-siswa sekolah yang biasanya pesertanya sekitar dua puluhan, kali ini mencapai 600 siswa.

    Bagi Anand, dorongan untuk menang jauh lebih besar daripada Kasparov. Bagi Kasparov, taruhannya hanyalah satu juta dolar, sedang bagi Anand, segala-galanya, termasuk hidupnya. Bagi Kasparov menang kalah tidak menjadi soal, karena ia telah memenangkan sesuatu yang lain. Kemilau dan gemerlap kejuaraan, yang merupakan cerminan kepribadian Kasparov, mendatangkan nilai komersial baginya. Seperti pahlawan sport yang lain, ketenarannya mendatangkan rejeki, label namanya tertempel sebagai merek komputer catur.

    Di dalam “ring” kaca itu sendiri suasana hening, penuh konsentrasi. Kasparov, 32 tahun, tampak lebih seperti petinju daripada intelektual kelas berat. Rambutnya yang dipotong cepak bertabur uban, menjual pigura wajah persegi yang keras lugas. Merunduk seperti benteng menghadapi matador, kepalanya nyaris di atas atas papan catur. Ia merenungi langkah demi langkah dengan penuh perhitungan. Bernaung di bawah alis dan keningnya yang menjorok ke depan, matanya yang tajam memancarkan pandangan yang mirip sinar laser yang sekan-akan dapat melelehkan bidak-bidak Anand. Sebaliknya, Anand si penantang, 25 tahun, bertopang dagu dan berkaca mata, tampak seperti akuntan yang lagi kerja keras mempelajari dengan jeli kolom-kolom perhitungan yang rumit.

    Kasparov memasuki turnamen sebagai unggulan favorit. Namun demikian lambat laun terbukti ia tidak dapat segera menumbangkan lawannya seperti yang dilakukan terhadap Nigel Short tahun 1993 dulu. Ia danAnand melampaui rekor delapan kali berturut- turut bermain seri. Kedua pemain bermain konservatif sejak awal turnamen mungkin dampak daya pikat satu juta dolar bagi pemenang. “permainan Anand lain daripada biasanya, yang gancar dengan serangan. Kali ini ia sangat hati- hati,” komentar salah satu grand master. Anand mematahkan rangkaian seri pada langkah ke-27, membuat kasparov bertekuk lutut setelah mengorbankan satu benteng untuk satu kuda. KemenanganAnand merupakan perkembangan yang menggairahkan bagi para pendukungnya, yang tadinya mimpi pun tidak. Peringkat unggulan dalam catur selama ini didominasi Negara yang dulu disebut Uni Soviet. Dari dua belas juara dunia, Anand adalah satusatunya yang lahir di luar Blok Timur. Jadi kalah atau menang, bertahan pada babak ke- sembilan merupakan prestasi yang menggetarkan. Di India, unggulnya Anand membangkitkan kembali dunia catur di negeri yang mungkin tempat kelahirannya 2.000 tahun yang lalu. Baru-baru ini di Madras diadakan pertandingan catur siswa-siswa sekolah yang biasanya pesertanya sekitar dua puluhan, kali ini mencapai 600 siswa.

    Bagi Anand, dorongan untuk menang jauh lebih besar daripada Kasparov. Bagi Kasparov, taruhannya hanyalah satu juta dolar, sedang bagi Anand, segala-galanya, termasuk hidupnya. Bagi Kasparov menang kalah tidak menjadi soal, karena ia telah memenangkan sesuatu yang lain. Kemilau dan gemerlap kejuaraan, yang merupakan cerminan kepribadian Kasparov, mendatangkan nilai komersial baginya. Seperti pahlawan sport yang lain, ketenarannya mendatangkan rejeki, label namanya tertempel sebagai merek komputer catur.

    OrangAmerika Serikat dikenal sebagai embahnya demokrasi. OrangAmerika sendiri dengan bangga dan arogan menyebut dirinya garda depan demokrasi. Orang nyaris bebas berbuat apa saja, termasuk berbuat tak demokrasi, asal prosesnya memenuhi syarat demokrasi.

    Pernah terjadi di suatu kota kecil Layton, CA, yang sebagian besar penduduknya pengusaha bidang perkayuan, seorang anak bertanya pada bapaknya, “papa sudah tidak saying lagi pada pohon dan tanaman, ya?” Cetusan rasa ingin tahu, yang terbina lewat membaca buku ini, tiba-tiba menjadi pertanyaan eksistensial dan dilemma moral bagi sang ayah. Risau karena terganggu kesadaran moralnya, sang ayah menyelidik, buku apa gerangan yang dibaca anaknya. Ditemukannya buku bacaan anak SD berjudul Lorax, karena Dr seuss, yang berkisah mengenai perjuangan Lorax menyuarakan pembelaan bagi pohon Trufu, karena pohon “tidak memiliki lidah”. Tanpa kenal lelah Lorax berjuang melawan keluarga Onceler yang menebangi habis-habisan pohon Trufu untuk dijadikan baju Hineed, hingga hutan menjadi gersang. Suatu kisah moralitas lingkungan yang tentu saja melecehkan profesi orang-orang Layton.

    Melalui proses demokratis dengan suara terbanyak mereka menyetujui agar buku Dr. Seuss dilarang beredar. Demokrasi menunjang non demokrasi pun berhasil. Dewan sekolah setempat berjanji memasukan buku Dr. Seuss yang sudah 18 tahun membawa pesan lingkungan itu ke dalam lemari dan dikunci rapat. Hilanglah pesan lingkungan , tetapi ada kerugian lebih besar terbaca dalam peristiwa ini, yaitu kenyataan bahwa orang sering tak mampu menghadapi tantangan dan pertanyaan atas nilai-nilai dan prilaku mereka. Yang terjadi di Indonesia pun kurang lebih sama: anak-anak kita dating membawa pertanyaan, dan kita menghadapi konflik, bangga karena mereka kritis, tetapi risau karena pertanyaan mereka telak. Pantaskah kita membela diri dengan menunjuk bahwa demokrasi kita lebih afdol karena musyawarah untuk mufakat? Tetapi kalau kita bicara fakta, kita harus mengakui kita masih memarkir hasrat demokrasi kita. Anak membaca mengenai bvahaya rokok, dia menuntut mengapa ayah merokok? Ketika melihat tayangan TV, jangan berang kalau mereka menyeletuk, apakah Bapak juga terlibat kolusi, korupsi dan nepotisme? Memang begitu lah, seperti kita dulu, belajar memahami hidup. Yang pasti, impuls pertama kita, seperti juga orangtua di mana pun, persis reaksi Onceler terhadap Lorax: “Tutup mulutmu!”. Dorongan yang ada di dalam adalah menutup sumber kritik, bukan menjawab pertanyaan, apalagi transparan. Kita sebagai orangtua sering membungkam pertanyaan dengan diskusi moral yang abstrak untuk melindungi diri sendiri, terutama kalau persoalannya menabrak hal-hal yang sangat dekat dengan hidup kita, padahal sebenarnya kita terhenyak dan sering tak mampu memberi jawaban.

    Pernah terjadi di suatu kota kecil Layton, CA, yang sebagian besar penduduknya pengusaha bidang perkayuan, seorang anak bertanya pada bapaknya, “papa sudah tidak saying lagi pada pohon dan tanaman, ya?” Cetusan rasa ingin tahu, yang terbina lewat membaca buku ini, tiba-tiba menjadi pertanyaan eksistensial dan dilemma moral bagi sang ayah. Risau karena terganggu kesadaran moralnya, sang ayah menyelidik, buku apa gerangan yang dibaca anaknya. Ditemukannya buku bacaan anak SD berjudul Lorax, karena Dr seuss, yang berkisah mengenai perjuangan Lorax menyuarakan pembelaan bagi pohon Trufu, karena pohon “tidak memiliki lidah”. Tanpa kenal lelah Lorax berjuang melawan keluarga Onceler yang menebangi habis-habisan pohon Trufu untuk dijadikan baju Hineed, hingga hutan menjadi gersang. Suatu kisah moralitas lingkungan yang tentu saja melecehkan profesi orang-orang Layton.

    Melalui proses demokratis dengan suara terbanyak mereka menyetujui agar buku Dr. Seuss dilarang beredar. Demokrasi menunjang non demokrasi pun berhasil. Dewan sekolah setempat berjanji memasukan buku Dr. Seuss yang sudah 18 tahun membawa pesan lingkungan itu ke dalam lemari dan dikunci rapat. Hilanglah pesan lingkungan , tetapi ada kerugian lebih besar terbaca dalam peristiwa ini, yaitu kenyataan bahwa orang sering tak mampu menghadapi tantangan dan pertanyaan atas nilai-nilai dan prilaku mereka. Yang terjadi di Indonesia pun kurang lebih sama: anak-anak kita dating membawa pertanyaan, dan kita menghadapi konflik, bangga karena mereka kritis, tetapi risau karena pertanyaan mereka telak. Pantaskah kita membela diri dengan menunjuk bahwa demokrasi kita lebih afdol karena musyawarah untuk mufakat? Tetapi kalau kita bicara fakta, kita harus mengakui kita masih memarkir hasrat demokrasi kita. Anak membaca mengenai bvahaya rokok, dia menuntut mengapa ayah merokok? Ketika melihat tayangan TV, jangan berang kalau mereka menyeletuk, apakah Bapak juga terlibat kolusi, korupsi dan nepotisme? Memang begitu lah, seperti kita dulu, belajar memahami hidup. Yang pasti, impuls pertama kita, seperti juga orangtua di mana pun, persis reaksi Onceler terhadap Lorax: “Tutup mulutmu!”. Dorongan yang ada di dalam adalah menutup sumber kritik, bukan menjawab pertanyaan, apalagi transparan. Kita sebagai orangtua sering membungkam pertanyaan dengan diskusi moral yang abstrak untuk melindungi diri sendiri, terutama kalau persoalannya menabrak hal-hal yang sangat dekat dengan hidup kita, padahal sebenarnya kita terhenyak dan sering tak mampu memberi jawaban.

    Most large companies do not know how to make the best use of clever people. Employees who criticize the old ways of doing things and want to try out new ideas are disliked both by their colleagues and by their bosses Comments like ‘They wouldn’t listen to me’ or ‘I kept presenting new product ideas, only to hear nothing’ are typical of many a manager who become an entrepreneur. All of this causes frustration, which can quickly lead t boredom. Often, middle managers start to think; ‘Only another 30 more years of working may way to retirement At this point, they want to find a way out.

    They need to get away from a job that is no longer attractive. So they decide to set up on their own. But the need something else, too: the challenge of taking risks. They are like people who climb a mountain by the most dangerous route. Entrepreneurial types need to try out new things without knowing whether they will succeed o fail. They also want to prove that they can make it without big company support.

    As well as motivation, most successful entrepreneurs have a number of personal characteristics in common The first is self-confidence, the feeling of certainty that you have got the skills, knowledge and energy to build u; your own business. There is also stubbornness, the determination to prove to the boss who rejected your ideas the they were good ideas which can*be made to work. Possessing this quality means that you won’t give up: you have to make your ideas work.

    Continued progress in advanced technology is not necessary. Already the technical progress in our world ha caused severe pollution in the air and in the water. Although the technical progress in previous years has been helpful recent technology has significantly increased pollution. Another reason to stop technical progress is that many inventions which were developed for good causes are now also used for powerful weapons or have been found to have serious side effects. For example, pesticide put inside particle boards to prevent termites has now been found to be toxic to human life. Technology does not always bring good effects; for example, computers do much work faster than man. but then man loses his job to a machine. Because no man can guarantee that technology will have only good effects and will be used only for the benefit of man, we should delay the continued development of technology.

    One of the most mysterious things in nature is the ability of certain creatures to find their way home, sometimes from great distances. Birds are not the only ones who can do this. Bees, eels, and salmon are able to return to a particular place after doing journeys, too. Most migrations take place between breeding grounds and regions where animals feed. For some animals, such as the lemming, the move is a one-way trip. Scientists call this movement emigration, because these animals never return to their homes. For other animals, such as birds, the migration includes a return trip home. Birds move in periodic migration, or at regular times during their lives, and often to the same place year after year. Many experiments have been made with birds in an attempt to find out what guides them on their way home. In one case, seven swallows were taken 400 miles from home. When they were set free, five of them returned to their nests. In another case, a certain kind of sea bird was taken from its nests on the Welsh coast to venice by plane. When it was released, it made its way home to its neasts, a distance of 930 miles if it flew in a straight line. Migrating birds offer an even more amazing example of this ability. There are swifts and house martins that migrate from England to South Africa every year. They not only return to England the next spring, but may of them come back to nests in the very same house they nested the year before. They not only return to England the next spring, but many of them come back to mests in the very same house they nested the year before. They fly the incredible distance of 6,000 miles, one way. Certain types of butterfly migrate, too, and find their way home over long distances. In the tropics one can sometimes see the great mass flights of butterflies all flying steadly in one direction. They may go a thousand miles and more and then return again in another season. Despite all the efforts that have been made to explain how these creatures find their way home, we still have no sure explanation. Since many of the birds fly over great bodies of water, we cannot explain it by saying they use landmarks to guide them. Just to say they have an “instinct” does not really explain the right conditions. The reason they do it may be to obtain food or to reproduce under the right conditions. But the signals and guideposts they use on their flights are still a mystery to man.

Secara fisik, pengidap HIV (disebut HIV positif) tampak tidak berbeda dengan orang normal lainnya, Namun, setelah 5-10 tahun, seorang pengidap HIV menunjukkan gejala-gejala menderita AIDS. AIDS sendiri adalah gejala penyakit akibat hilang atau menurunnya kekebalan tubuh. Menurutnya sistem kekebalan tubuh membuat penyakit yang ringan pun dapat menimbulkan gejala yang lebih berat. Misalnya saja flu, pada orang normal akan sembuh dengan sendirinya dalam waktu kurang dari seminggu meski tidak diobati sama sekali asal cukup makan dan istirahat. Namun, pada pengidap HIV atau penderita AIDS, flu akan menetap lama, bahkan semakin parah dari waktu ke waktu. Karena tidak menampakkan gejala apapun, infeksi HIV menjadi lebih berbahaya.

Often, middle managers start to think; ‘Only another 30 more years of working may way to retirement At this point, they want to find a way out.

    They need to get away from a job that is no longer attractive. So they decide to set up on their own. But the need something else, too: the challenge of taking risks.

They also want to prove that they can make it without big company support.

There is also stubbornness, the determination to prove to the boss who rejected your ideas the they were good ideas which can*be made to work.

    Continued progress in advanced technology is not necessary. Already the technical progress in our world ha caused severe pollution in the air and in the water. Although the technical progress in previous years has been helpful recent technology has significantly increased pollution. Another reason to stop technical progress is that many inventions which were developed for good causes are now also used for powerful weapons or have been found to have serious side effects. For example, pesticide put inside particle boards to prevent termites has now been found to be toxic to human life. Technology does not always bring good effects; for example, computers do much work faster than man. but then man loses his job to a machine. Because no man can guarantee that technology will have only good effects and will be used only for the benefit of man, we should delay the continued development of technology.
