20 and 15

hai ga kebayang udah januari..... 2015. klo udah berganti tahun gini mesti mikir apa yang udah aku lakuin 2014 kemaren kok kayaknya ga ada perubahan. setiap tahun aku membuat resolusi, tapi seiring berjalannya bulan menjelang bulan resolusi itu mulai diabaikan. resolusi  hanya sebagai esensi belaka bukan kemauan pribadi. itu penyebabnya. kalau resolusi itu kemauan kuat pribadi pasti akan terlaksana. hmm, alhamdulillah juga resolisi 2013 ku sudah tercapai di tahun 2014 yaitu kuliah di ITS. sebenarnya hal yang biasa, tapi dari situ saya bisa membuktikan ke teman teman, klo saya juga bisa. emang saya setiap hari belajar cuma beberapa menit, klo sekolah suka telat, peraturan untuk dilanggar, klo ulangan paling aktif cari jawaban kanan kiri, tapi lama lama aku sadar kalo temen temenku juga kayak gitu wkwkwk ga selamanya aku menjadi seperti itu, umurku terus bertambah, asalah semakin rumit, hidup tak sebercanda itu. sekarang harus lebih berjuang has, masih banyak mimpi mimpimu yang harus kamu bangun. :)) CEO perusahaan besar

guduk liburan

banyak calo WARNING!

(salah satu calo profesional yang sedang dikejar pihak kepolisian)

oke, beberapa minggu lalu saya ke ibu kota untuk mencari sepiring berlian. halah. dan tentunya dengan cara FREE! wkwk dibayari coy. lumayanlah numpak kereta.tapi lu inget ga, ada kesenangan pasti ada kesedihan. nah ini nih, gue dibayari kereta tapi dikongkon ngemong arek cilik iloooooooo :"( sedih gak se. guduk liburan iki jenenge, kerjaan.duh sedih.

(ini dalem kereta aggrobromo anggrek)

iyasih emang ada tivinya, tapi ya kalo dipikir pikir kalo kita dapet kursi tengah2, keliatan gambar apaan coba? gambar kepala penumpang depan kali ya. selama perjalanan banyak banget pramugari yang nawarin makanan. denger denger penumpang sebelah, teh anget 8000 coy. murah amat (ini majas). terus adalagi nasi rames kalo ga salah 22 ribu. ha ha ngajak bercanda. pinter juga gaya marketingnya. jadikan di dalem kereta dingin banget terus kaga ada selimut terus perjalanan berjam jam. jadi siapa sih yang gak kelaperan? strateginya adalah kebutuhan makanan akan mengalahkan keinginan untuk mengirit uang. 

(ini kamar mandi punya orang)

(ini kamar mandi umum)

(ini baru kamar mandi kereta api)

kalo lo naik kereta, cobain deh ke toiletnya, serasa naik roller coaster dalam posisi jongkok (?) goyang kanan kiri dan suara gemuruh bakal menambah sensasi jongkokmu. nah selama perjalan kita berhenti di hatimu beberapa stasiun untuk menaikkan dan menurunkan penumpang. sebenernya gue kurang sreg sih sama kata "penumpang", bukanya kita bayar mahal ya, tapi kok dikatain numpang sih :(

sebenarnya saya ingin mempostig foto klien saya, tapi demi keprofesionalan babysitter hal itu saya privacykan.

udah lanjutin kapan kapan aje yap, cerita selanjutnya bakalan nyeritain pas sampai disana. Stay tuned fans!. sholat duyu :3

pidatoo

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Yang saya hormati Ibu Dra. Hj. Sri Herdiyati selaku penguji ujian praktik

Serta teman-teman yang saya cintai dan saya banggakan

Pada kesempatan yang baik ini, saya mengajak kepada hadirin untuk mengucapkan puji dan syukur kehadirat Tuhan Yang Maha Kuasa, karena kita masih diberi kekuatan dan kesempatan sebagai insan yang berguna bagi masyarakat, bangsa dan negara. Pada kesempatan ini saya akan memaparkan mengenai “Makanan Cepat Saji”.

Kesibukan bekerja dan tuntutan hidup lainnya membuat berkurangnya waktu untuk memasak lauk dan sayur untuk makanan sehari- hari. Pada akhirnya, banyak orang yang beralih ke makanan instan dan cepat saji, seperti makanan beku, makanan kalengan, dan makanan awetan. Makanan siap saji sekarang ini sudah menjadi gaya hidup, karena selain harganya terjangkau, makanan siap saji mudah diolah, cepat dan praktis, tahan lama, serta rasanya pun enak.

Dari kalangan rumah tangga muda tanpa anak, makanan kaleng dan awetan sangat digemari. Tahun ini saja 80 persen dari segmen tersebut merupakan pembeli dari makanan instan ini. Pada rumah tangga yang lebih dewasa, kecenderungan untuk membeli makanan kaleng dan awetan semakin berkurang. Hal ini bisa jadi disebabkan oleh kecenderungan rumah tangga pasangan muda lebih menyukai sesuatu yang instan dan cepat, sedangkan perhatian rumah tangga yang lebih dewasa terhadap kesehatan lebih tinggi.

Saudara saudara yang saya hormati,

Perkembangan zaman telah mempengaruhi banyak hal dalam hidup kita seperti diantaranya, banyak orang yang memburu dan berlomba lomba membeli gadget dan menginginkan semuanya yang serba instan seperti makanan.

Ternyata, ‘keinstanan’ masyarakat tidak hanya dalam masalah gadget saja, tapi juga makanan. Karena sudah malas memasak, orang akan cenderung membeli makanan cepat saji. Ditambah dengan layanan cepat antar, jadi tidak perlu bepergian kemana-mana makanan akan diantar sampai rumah. Makanan cepat saji itu enak, instant, dan beberapa ada yang harganya terjangkau. Tapi, bagaimana dengan nutrisinya?

Ada beberapa perbedaan antara makanan cepat saji dan makanan yang dimasak sendiri atau home cook. Masakan sendiri lebih terpercaya dan nutrisinya bisa kita kontrol secara pribadi. Kita tentu memilih bahan makanan yang segar dan sehat, bukan? Dibandingkan dengan makanan cepat saji yang bahannya tidak kita ketahui secara pasti halal atau tidak, anda lebih memilih yang mana? Belum lagi penambahan bahan kimia seperti vetsin, pewarna makanan berbahaya, bahkan boraks. Selain itu, makanan cepat saji mengandung kalori tinggi terutama dari gula yang berbahaya bagi penderita diabetes. Makanan cepat saji juga mengandung lemak trans yang lebih berbahaya dibandingkan dengan lemak lainnya. Jika dikonsumsi berlebih dapat menyebabkan penumpukan kolesterol dalam pembuluh darah dan dapat timbul serangan jantung koroner, stroke atau penyakit kardiovaskular lainnya.

Jika bahannya sudah dimasak dan masuk ke tubuh kita, bayangkan saja apa yang terjadi! Masih inginkah kita mengkonsumsi makanan yang berefek buruk bagi kesehatan?Menurut saya pribadi, makanan cepat saji itu boleh-boleh saja, tapi harus ada aturannya. Pertama, hendaklah kita cermat memilih makanan. Pilihlah makanan dari restaurant terpecaya. Cermat dalam memilih makanan itu penting, kalau perlu kita pun harus tahu bahan apa yang disertakan di makanan yang kita makan. Jangan juga keseringan memakan makanan cepat-saji, karena cakupan gizi kita harus terpenuhi. Biasakanlah memakan makanan sehat untuk kebutuhan sehari-hari.

Marilah kita menjaga dan memperhatikan makanan yang kita konsumsi demi kesehatan diri-masing-masing. Sekian pidato yang dapat saya sampaikan, atas perhatiannya saya ucapkan terima kasih.

Akhir-akhir ini, kuliner Indonesia memiliki kecenderungan untuk kembali ke ‘asal’. Maraknya makanan cepat saji atau yang lebih dikenal dengan sebutan fast food, mulai dijauhi sedikit demi sedikit masyarakat terutama oleh masyarakat yang sadar akan kesehatan dengan gaya hidup well-being.

Sebenarnya gerakan makanan slow food didasari oleh kesadaran akan makan dengan santai dan tenang. Karena hal tersebut diyakini bermanfaat bagi kesehatan tubuh. Bahkan sekarang ini mulai bermunculan restoran dengan tag line makanan sehat dan menyehatkan, seperti Warung Daun yang terletak di bilangan Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan. Restoran macam ini menjamin bahan makanan yang digunakan berbahan dasar sayuran bebas pestisida, tidak menggunakan penyedap rasa buatan dan kandungan lemak serta kolesterolnya tidak membahayakan kesehatan konsumennya. Sayangnya restoran seperti ini memasang harga yang lebih mahal untuk sebuah kesehatan yang dijanjikannya.

Kembali ke slow food, dimana masakan tradisional yang dimasak dengan cara yang lebih baik dibanding resto fast food yang penuh dengan frozen food, mulai mengambil hati masyarakat. Beberapa resto macam ini antara lain Bumbu Desa, Warung Nasi Ampera, Resto Kuring dll.

Selama ini kita secara tidak sadar terbawa dengan gaya makan yang tidak mempedulikan kesehatan sendiri. Burger yang dapat diperoleh dengan cepat di resto kelas dunia macam Burger King dan Mc Donald, ternyata dapat memicu berbagai penyakit seperti kegemukan, diabetes, hipertensi, stroke dan jantung. Bahkan penyakit yang dulu dikenal sebagai penyakit ‘orang tua’ sekarang sudah banyak menjangkiti orang usia muda bahkan anak-anak. Makanan fast food yang sering kita santap umumnya kaya lemak jenuh, lemak trans, rendah kandungan serat, memiliki kandungan gula dan kalori yang tinggi, serta menggunakan bahan tambahan makanan sintetis untuk memperkuat rasa, dan membuat warna makanan semakin menarik. Fast food yang aslinya dari negara barat hanya menganut gaya hidup asal kenyang tanpa peduli dengan kandungan gizi bagi kesehatan, serta memaksa masyarakat mengkonsumsi makanan yang seragam. Hal demikian terjadi karena warga barat yang pekerja keras menuntut waktu yang efisien sehingga tidak menjadikan makanan sebagai sebuah kegiatan yang menyenangkan dan membunuh stress.

Flirting with Disaster

By Daniel Stone

Newsweek Magazine; January 10&17, 2011; pages 28-29

Every few years the defenses of the nation’s nuclear plants are tested. What’s scary is how often they fail

In early 2009 a team of terrorists managed to enter a nuclear-power plant in the American South armed with machine guns and grenade launchers. After breaking through chain-link and barbed-wire gates, they battled with the plant’s guards. Those terrorists who weren’t killed were able to disable a critical component of the plant’s operating hardware. A meltdown of the reactor core looked imminent, as did the release of radioactive material from waste-storage pools located on-site. The surrounding area faced catastrophic fallout.

Everything up to that point actually happened—sort of. In reality, the attackers were a group of highly trained government operatives—including security consultants and military members on leave—posing as terrorists. Every three years, such teams “attack” each of the country’s 104 nuclear-power plants to find weak spots in security. The raids are carefully choreographed: plant managers are given two months’ notice to prepare the guards, and the intruders follow a prearranged script to evade them. Still, eight times out of roughly 100 attempts over the past five years, the mock terror teams have successfully broken through those defenses.

Government regulators insist that such failures are, in a way, intentional. The whole point is to find potential security holes and plug them. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the federal agency that oversees the industry, insists that inspectors remain on-site until security systems are fixed, and that American nuclear plants are safer than ever. But industry watchdogs aren’t so sure. A growing number of plants are nearing the end of their operating lifetimes, and details about the security of existing facilities are classified. “The industry is hiding behind the 9/11 tragedy to withhold information—like which plants have failed tests and repairs that have been made—that should be available,” says David Lochbaum, a nuclear analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Worries are particularly acute because the nuclear-energy industry is experiencing a new era of growth. In his State of the Union address in 2010, President Obama asked Congress to consider nuclear power central to America’s pursuit of energy security. A month later he proposed $8 billion in loan guarantees to begin building a handful of new plants. “To meet our growing energy needs and prevent the worst consequences of climate change, we’ll need to increase our supply of nuclear power,” he told a warehouse full of hard hats in Lanham, Md., in mid-February. Leading Democrats, who have generally resisted an expansion of nuclear facilities on safety grounds, were slow to agree. Then, early last month, Energy Secretary Steven Chu agreed to classify nuclear as “clean energy” in hopes of wooing Republicans to pass an energy bill in 2011.

Advanced technology has virtually eliminated the risk of accidental meltdowns, like the one at Chernobyl in 1986, adding repetitive safeguards that allow the plant to shut itself down if operators can’t. The bigger problem is the highly radioactive waste that is left over once most of the energy-producing juice has been sucked out of it.

Used nuclear fuel looks like a bunch of black ceramic pellets—each about the size of a Tootsie Roll. They’re a mix of uranium, plutonium, and several minor chemicals, and give off about 750 degrees Fahrenheit of heat. The raw material can’t be held, or easily stolen to make a dirty bomb. But America’s current system for storing nuclear waste—in giant cool-water pools and dry casks of cement, at the individual nuclear plants—means that ready-made dirty bombs already exist. An intruder draining the water from the pools could cause it to self-ignite and spread radiation through the air.

In a broad sense, the waste problem isn’t going away for a very, very long time. Spent fuel produced today will remain dangerously radioactive for about 10 millennia, until the year 12011, according to William Hurt, a spent-fuel engineer with the Idaho National Laboratory. Of the half a dozen nuclear scientists NEWSWEEK spoke with for this story, none were completely content with the current system of storage.

Plant operators boast that their industry is the most secure in the world, period. Andy Kadak, a former president of the American Nuclear Society, an industry group, likens modern nuclear plants to “prisons.” Yet prison breaks still happen from time to time. And the security measures that are in place result in very little transparency. “We think in the end overall security is best achieved by keeping most of [our security information] protected,” says Gregory Jaczko, chairman of the NRC. Yet as the Gulf Coast oil spill showed, an industry out of public view can get sloppy.

After news surfaced in 2005 that nuclear plants were failing about half of all security tests, Congress required the NRC to increase inspections, and to make the intruder simulations more realistic. When inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the global body that oversees all nuclear development, visited the U.S. in October, they gave a thumbs up to the way the NRC operates, but noted that the industry had room for “continuous improvement.”

The improvement that many scientists favor is one that has been made elsewhere—including in China, France, Japan, Belgium, and the U.K. All have eliminated the need to store portions of used fuel. Instead, they reprocess the waste, a complex process that removes the remaining uranium from almost pure plutonium and other byproducts, and puts it back in the reactor to produce more power. “You’re actually destroying some waste by recycling it,” says Denis Beller, a nuclear engineer at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Jimmy Carter nixed proposals for reprocessing in 1977 because he feared that isolating pure plutonium would lead to a proliferation of nuclear weapons globally. Now the rationale is economic: power from reprocessed fuel costs about 10 percent more than from new uranium (but it’s still a fraction of wind and solar costs). Christine Todd Whitman, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under the second President Bush, says the investment is worth it. “We can do it,” she says, “and we should do it.”

For spent fuel that already exists, government engineers had considered Yucca Mountain, the desert expanse north of Las Vegas—dry, desolate, and not prone to natural disasters—the perfect location for a repository. But Obama, with input from Senate leaders including Nevada’s Harry Reid, canceled the plan last year in pursuit of something less risky than concentrating millions of pounds of waste in one place. A Department of Energy panel is currently researching other ideas, such as burying it in the oceans, shooting it into space, or finding a new repository somewhere else in the world. That site’s defenses, however, would need to be foolproof.

5.      What the department of energy ideas to put the waste?

Ø  A department of  Energy panel is currently researching other ideas, such as burying it in the ocean, shooting it into space, or finding a new repository somewhere else in the world

Implicit questions

1.      What is the purpose of the text?

Ø  The text tell about the danger of nuclear power plant and its sewage system in America. This text tell about the problem and the solution on it, though it is still no solution on it

2.      How is the writer organized the text ?

Ø  From the very beginning the writer is very skeptical about the nuclear power, The writer tries to raise the reader’s attention by giving examples of the danger of nuclear power. Then the writer describes what the government do about it. In the middle of the text, the writer raise another problem related to the sewage of the nuclear power plant. None in the text does the writer tell about the benefit of the nuclear power

3.      Do you agree with statement saying that  reprocessing can cause  proliferation of  nuclear weapon globally?

Ø  Yes, I am so afraid that it will be like that, so in my opinion reprocessing should be banned

4.      The last sentence. What does it mean ?

Ø  It means that ideas  such as burying it  in the oceans, shooting it into space or finding a new repository somewhere in the world can be done after we already find the bad things and be able to recover it

5.      Why the writer make a comparison between nuclear power plant and prison

Ø  The writer want to build understanding about the possibility to the leak on nuclear power plant as what happen in prison break

Comments

This text has an interesting title and picture, that is the first reason why I want to analyze it. In the first part of the text, the writer gives cases related with nuclear – power plants in America. The writer is little bit skeptical if I can have my comment on it. The writer talks more about the negative point of nuclear power rather than its benefit. The case is about the use of nuclear power plant by terrorist to make a catastrophic attack to people around the plant. This catastrophic attack is not a by no means attack, it is well planned by the terrorist and using a well trained people to do it.

            This event make American government more alert about the nuclear power.  The nuclear regulatory agency insist that inspector remain on site until security system are fixed and that American nuclear power are safer than ever. But in 2010 President Barract Obama  asked Congress to  consider nuclear power central to America’s pursuit of energy security and then later energy secretary classify nuclear as clean energy in hopes of wooing republicans to pass energy bill in 2011.

In the next part of the text, the writer discuss about the problem of nuclear energy is that the highly radioactive waste  that is left over once most the energy producing juice has been sucked out of it. American current system for storing nuclear waste which is in giant cooling water pools and dry cement is very dangerous. It is like already made dirty bomb that can be used by intruder by draining the water from the pools would cause it self ignite and spread radioactive through the air. In broad sense, the waste problem isn’t going away for a very, very long time.

In the last part of the text, the writer discuss about how American deal with this waste of nuclear power. First trial proposed was reprocessing of the nuclear energy waste. Yet, it is still controversial. The reprocessing, in term of economic, will make the cost cheaper but there was after that isolating pure plutonium would lead to proliferation of nuclear weapon globally. The second option is by considering Yucca Mountain as perfect location for a repository, but it was also cancelled to the high risk of concentrating millions of pounds of waste in one place.

This text is really opening my mind about the bad effect of nuclear energy, I never imagine that restoring the nuclear waste would be so difficult and risky. Reading this article, I my self think that we should not use this kind of energy. I am sure that we have to look for alternative energy to fulfill the energy needed by people, but there are so many energy in this world instead of nuclear one. So it will be very wise not to do it. It is dangerous and even its waste if not properly treated become more dangerous than its energy itself.

Gaining new knowledge about nuclear energy is only part of advantage I got from this text, I also learn English more and the most important thing is that this text teach me how to read critically. Those especially authorities should read this article before making any policy related to nuclear energy plant.

Chapter 6

Translation

Those terrorists who weren’t killed were able to disable a critical component of the plant’s operating hardware.

Teroris yang tidak terbunuh mampu menonaktifkan komponen penting dari perangkat keras.

In reality, the attackers were a group of highly trained government operatives—including security consultants and military members on leave—posing as terrorists.

Kenyataanya para penyerang adalah kelompok koperasi pemerintah yang sangat terlatih – termasuk konsultan keamanan dan mantan anggota militer yang berposisi sebagai teroris.

Still, eight times out of roughly 100 attempts over the past five years, the mock terror teams have successfully broken through those defenses.

Namun, delapan dari sekitar 100 kali usaha selama lima tahun terakhir, tim teror telah berhasil menembus pertahanan mereka.

Then, early last month, Energy Secretary Steven Chu agreed to classify nuclear as “clean energy” in hopes of wooing Republicans to pass an energy bill in 2011.

Kemudian, awal bulan lalu, Menteri Energi Steven Chu setuju untuk mengklasifikasikan nuklir sebagai "energi bersih" dengan harapan merayu Partai Republik untuk lulus tagihan energi pada tahun 2011.

The bigger problem is the highly radioactive waste that is left over once most of the energy-producing juice has been sucked out of it.

Masalah yang lebih besar adalah limbah radioaktif yang tersisa setelah sebagian besar cairan yang  menghasilkan energi telah tersedot keluar darinya.

The raw material can’t be held, or easily stolen to make a dirty bomb.

Bahan baku tidak dapat ditemukan, atau mudah dicuri untuk membuat bom licik.

In a broad sense, the waste problem isn’t going away for a very, very long time.

Secara luas, masalah limbah tidak akan pergi untuk waktu yang sangat lama.

And the security measures that are in place result in very little transparency.

Dan tindakan keamanan yang berada di tempat menghasilkan sedikit kelemahan.

After news surfaced in 2005 that nuclear plants were failing about half of all security tests, Congress required the NRC to increase inspections, and to make the intruder simulations more realistic.

Setelah berita muncul pada tahun 2005 bahwa pembangkit nuklir yang gagal sekitar setengah dari semua tes keamanan, Kongres mewajibkan  NRC untuk meningkatkan inspeksi, dan untuk membuat simulasi penyusup lebih nyata.

A Department of Energy panel is currently researching other ideas, such as burying it in the oceans, shooting it into space, or finding a new repository somewhere else in the world.

Departemen panel energy saat ini sedang meneliti ide ide lain, seperti memendam di lautan, menembak ke luar angkasa, atau menemukan tempat penyimpanan baru di tempat lain di dunia.
