Saya yakin teman2 semua malu setiap saat negeri kita Indonesia ini menjadi cemoohan negara lain sebagai negeri yang terbelakang, terkorup, terendah Human Development Index-nya, atau dungu karena negerinya kaya tapi rakyatnya miskin.

Kekayaan negeri yang seharusnya dinikmati rakyat Indonesia justru dikuasai asing. Rakyat yang memiliki daya juang hidup tinggi untuk survive, justru hanya menjadi TKW/TKI, tukang ojek, cecunguk di perusahaan asing atau pemulung.

Kita harus bangkit segera. Negeri ini tidak bisa dikelola sekedarnya saja. Negara lain sudah melaju cepat menggapai kemajuan ilmu dan teknologi, kita tetap saja tak beranjak dari lima tahun kemarin. Ngurusin bencana Lapindo juga gak mampu. Untuk merubah irama pengelolaan pemerintahan negeri ini, harus ada dobrakan oleh pemimpin yang berani mengambil resiko seperti Hugo Chaves, Mahmoud Ahmadinnejad, Khaddafy, Evo Morales, dsb.

Jangan lagi mau dikibuli oleh trik2 presiden kita yng sekarang (SBY), yang selalu minta dikasihani karena merasa dirinya dizalimi. Pilih JK-Win, agar pembangunan negeri ini lebih cepat dan lebih baik. Kenapa mesti ragu dan menjadi peragu seperti SBY….???

We’ve known for quite some time that eating dark chocolate can lower blood pressure and help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables. These benefits are from flavonoids, which act as antioxidants, protecting the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage that leads to heart disease. Dark chocolate contains a large number of antioxidants.
Eating more dark chocolate can help lower blood pressure, researchers say.

If you give sugar pills to a group of patients and tell them that these pills are going to cure them, some of them will actually get better. This is known in the medical world as the placebo effect. Every doctor, nurse and medical student knows about it, but no-one has been able to explain it.
 
To put it simply, the placebo effect means that if you believe a certain treatment will work for you, it usually does.
 
Let me give you an example.
 
Forty years ago, a young heart surgeon from Seattle by the name of Leonard Cobb conducted an unusual experiment. He performed a number of fake surgeries on patients suffering from angina. Instead of performing real surgeries, he just made the incision and then stitched it back together. He didn’t actually do anything that could offer any kind of cure, but surprisingly, 90% of the patients reported that the procedure helped. The sham operations proved to be just as effective as the real ones.
 
Isn’t that amazing? The patients were not cured by the surgeries - they were cured by their belief in the surgery. Here are a some more examples:

Sometimes the world seems a dark and threatening place, full of threats and dangers. It’s tempting just to give up in the face of all the problems and walk away. Some do just that, posting the keys of their houses to the mortgage holders and camping out with friends. Others decide to fight for what is theirs. They know that every dollar they can scrape together and pay to reduce their debts saves on interest and avoids some of the penalty charges that might otherwise come their way. The difficulty, of course, is finding the extra dollars to pay. Many live from one payday to the next with nothing left over at the end of the month. Indeed, if there’s an emergency, they can be forced into the arms of the payday loan merchants who charge egregious rates of interest on short-term loans. Those who have better luck take charge of their household budgets to find those extra dollars. Read more…

It’s easy to see all the big ticket items and make sacrifices but, more often than not, it’s all the little things that add up to take us over our budgets. So everyone sees the car sitting out front and decides not to trade in or downsize to something cheaper to run. Days may be spent searching round the local dealerships to find just the right set of wheels to last through the next year or more. Yet is the same time devoted to finding the best value auto insurance to go with it? Sadly, the majority spend only a few minutes to renew a policy with the current insurance company or use one of the online search engines to find a “cheap” policy. Shopping around to find the best value insurance is guaranteed to save money. Even if you do nothing more than raise the deductible, this has started the process. Now you should be looking at maximizing the discounts and bundling several policies together with the same company. Savings start around 10% when you place both auto and home cover with the same insurer. Read more…
