In today’s fast world it’s difficult to find a true friend like you. I sometimes think I am very lucky to get you as
without you life would have been very boring. I still remember the first day of school when we were young, you
called me and gave a seat besides you. It’s now almost 15 years and our relationship has grown in past years. I would
like to thank you for being there for me for the ups and downs of my life.
Last year when my father passed away you were a support to me and my family. I don’t know what I would
have done without you then. You were more helpful than my relative. I can never forget how you stayed back in the
hospital late night just to support me and my mother.
I cherish every moment of life we spent together. Though you are away from me I still feel that you are close
to me. How are your studies going? Last time when you wrote you seemed little worried about the portions. I know
you will easily pass your engineering also with flying colors.
When are your next holidays? I am eagerly waiting to meet you and spend some good time together.
I would like to thank you for being my friend and being there for me.

CUT NYAK DHIEN
Cut NyakDhien was born into an Islamic aristocratic family in Aceh Besar in VI mukim
district in 1848. Her father, TeukuNantaSetia, was a member of the ruling UlèëBalang
aristocratic class in VI mukim, and her mother was also from an aristocrat family. She was
educated in religion and household matters. She was renowned for her beauty, and many men
proposed to her until her parents arranged for her marriage to TeukuCek Ibrahim Lamnga, the
son of aristocrat family, when she was twelve.
On 26 March 1873, Dutch declared war on Aceh. During the first part of this war, the
First Aceh Expedition, Aceh was led by PanglimaPolem and Sultan Alauddin Mahmud Syah
II. The Dutch army sent 3,000 soldiers led by Johan Harmen Rudolf Köhler to take the
Sultan's palace. The Sultan, however, received military aid from Italy and the United
Kingdom, and the Aceh army was rapidly modernized and enlarged from 10,000 to 100,000
soldiers. Dutch forces were successfully pushed back, and Köhler died in action.
In November 1873, during the Second Aceh Expedition the Dutch successfully captured
VI mukim in 1873, followed by the Sultan's Palace in 1874. In 1875, Cut NyakDhien and her
baby, along with other mothers, were evacuated to a safer location while her husband Ibrahim
Lamnga fought to reclaim VI mukim. Teuku Ibrahim Lamnga died in action in GleTarum on
June 29, 1878. Hearing of this, Cut NyakDhien was enraged and swore to destroy the Dutch.
Some time after the death of her husband, an Acehnese hero Teuku Umar proposed to
her. Although she rejected him at first, she accepted his proposal when Umar allowed her to
fight, and they were married in 1880. This greatly boosted the morale of Aceh armies in their

Yogyakarta is one of the foremost cultural centers of Java, the seat of the mighty Javanese empire of
Mataram from which present day Yogyakarta has the best inherited of traditions. The city itself has a
special charm, which seldom fails to captivate the visitor. Gamelan, classical and contemporary
Javanese dances, leather puppet, theater and other expressions of traditional art will keep the visitor
spellbound. Local craftsmen excel in arts such batiks, silver and leather works. Next to the traditional,
contemporary art has found fertile soil in Yogya's culture oriented society.
Yogyakarta is often called the main gateway to the Central Java as where it is geographically
located. It stretches from Mount Merapi to the Indian Ocean. There is daily air service to Yogya from
Jakarta, Surabaya and Bali as well as regular train service and easy accessibility by road. Yogyakarta
is commonly considered as the modern cultural of Central Java. It is a very lively city and a shopper's
delight. The main road, Malioboro Street, is always crowded and famous for its night street foodculture and street vendors. Many tourist shops and cheap hotels are concentrated along this street or in
the adjoining tourist area such Sosrowijayan Street.
The key attraction of Yogyakarta is 'Kraton' (the Sultan's Palace), the centre of Yogya's
traditional life and despite the advance of modernity; it still emanates the spirit of refinement, which
has been the hallmark of Yogya's art for centuries. This vast complex of decaying buildings was built
in the 18th century, and is actually a walled city within the city with luxurious pavilions and in which
the current Sultan still resides. Yogyakarta is also the only major city, which still has traditional
'Becak' (rickshaw-style) transport.

Sluggish oil markets will continue to cloud the upstream industry this year and prompt a majority of
oil companies in Indonesia to implement decreases in their workforce, a survey by
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Indonesia has indicated.
In an overwhelming majority, 91 percent of respondents believed that employment in the oil and
gas industry would decrease this year, highlighting the continuing effect of the slide in the oil price.
“Almost 75 percent of the respondents expect their company to reduce their expatriate workforce,
with 53 percent expecting a decline in the number of local hires,” said SachaWinzenried, PwC
Indonesia’s lead advisor for energy, utilities and mining, said in Jakarta on Thursday.
Likewise, future spending is expected to slow, particularly for exploration, compared to previous
years. Only half of those surveyed expected that their company would increase exploration activities
globally and in Indonesia in the next three years.
As for general capital expenditure, respondents were broadly divided into three similarly sized
groups: one-third would decrease capital expenditure, one-third would increase it and one-third would
maintain it as is.

Sangkuriang

://

Once upon a time in West Java, Indonesia, lived a princess named DayangSumbi. Her hobby was weaving
cloth. One day her weaving tool fell but she was too lazy toget it herself. She shouted out, ‘Anybody
there? Bring me my tool. I will give you special present. If you are female, I will consider you as my
sister. If you are male, I will marry you’
A male creature came, but it was a dog. His name was Tumang. He happily brought her the tool to her.
DayangSumbi was very surprised but she kept her promise. She married the dog. Tumang was actually a
man who had been cursed by a witch to become a dog. But at certain times Tumang could turn back to be a
normal man. Their only son, Sangkuriang, was soon born, and he grew up to be a handsome and healthy
boy. He always played with his very loyal dog, Tumang. He did not know that he was actually his father,
because DayangSumbi hid the secret from him. Sangkuriang liked to hunt in the woods, of course with
Tumang.
One dayDayangSumbi asked him to bring home a deer’s heart. Unfortunately, he could not find any
deer in the woods. He did not want to disappoint his mother and was thinking hard how to bring home a
deer’s heart. Suddenly he had a very bad idea. He killed Tumang! Then he brought his heart home and
gave it to DayangSumbi. Sangkuring could not cheat her. She knew it was Tumang’s heart. So, she got
very angry and hit Sangkuriang’s forehead with a piece of wood and told him to leave the village.
Many years later, Sangkuriang grew up to be a powerful man. One day he went back to his village. He
met a beautiful young woman there, and he fell in love with her at the first sight. It was DayangSumbi! She
never got older because she had been granted eternal youth by the gods. Sangkuriang did not know that she
was his mother, so she came to her and proposed to marry her.
When he walked closer to her, DayangSumbi got very surprised. She saw the scar in Sangkuriang’s
forehead, and soon she knew that he was her son, who left her a long time ago. She told him the truth and
tried hard to explain it to him, but he did not believe her. She accepted his proposal but gave him an
impossible thing to do. She wanted him to build a lake and a boat in just one night!
Sangkuriang agreed, because he knew that he could make it with the help of his genies. By midnight
he finished the lake and then started making the boat. DayangSumbi was thinking hard to find a way to fail
him. Before dawn, she asked the people in the village to burn the woods in the East, and the light made all
the cocks crow. Thinking that the night would be over soon, the genies ran fast and left Sangkuriang before
the boat was finished. Sangkuriang realized that DayangSumbi had cheated him. He got very angry and he
kicked the boat upside down. It gradually became a mountain and it is now known as Mount.
32. How could Tumang marry DayangSumbi?
A. He was actually a man.
B. He was a kindhearted dog.
C. He helped her get her tool.
D. He had fallen in love with her.
E. He had been cursed to become a dog.

beaches. The beaches were very nice in Jamaica. We went to a small safari. We saw birds,
crocodiles.
In the afternoon we went shopping. I bought t-shirts, pictures, towels, coffee and figures.

The West Sumatra provincial administration plans to promote the tourism potential of wild
boar hunting in an effort to improve the welfare of local residents.
The plan has won the support of Governor Irwan Prayitno.
"The unique wild boar hunting activity has the potential to be developed as a leading
tourism event in West Sumatra," he said in Padang on Monday.
Irwan added that boar hunting, aided by dogs in Matur Mudiak village in Agam
regency, had attracted a large number of participants and spectators.
According to him, by setting up food and beverage stations near hunting areas, boar
hunting could help spur local economies.
"We hope this kind of activity can also be developed as a tourism attraction in other
regencies in West Sumatra," Irwan said as quoted by Antara news agency.

After fake vaccines, the alleged use of expired food ingredients and now expired medicines, what else will happen? Over
the last month, consumers have had to face the risk of falling victim to dirty business practices that could harm their
health or even endanger their life.
And one may ask, where is the state? According to the preamble of the Constitution, the state is responsible for
protecting its citizens. This may be merely a rhetorical question because it is impossible to expect the state, through its
various agencies, to guard every citizen 24 hours a day.
But as seen by the recurrent blame games and denials made by government and state agencies responsible for
food and drug monitoring whenever a scandal arises, the state’s protection of consumers is regrettably lacking. Law
enforcement is therefore the only way to prove the state’s care for the safety of consumers and its interest in preventing
more people from becoming victims.
The police are now examining samples of ingredients used by two popular restaurant chains in Jakarta, which had
already passed their shelf-life date. It will take the police quite some time to finally act against the owners of the
restaurant chains and for the courts to determine their fate.
Last month, the police arrested a number of people, including doctors, after the discovery of the distribution and
use of bogus vaccines for children in Jakarta, West Java and Banten. The Health Ministry recorded that 1,500 children
had been exposed to the fake vaccines from 2014 onward and ordered free revaccinations for them.
Indonesia does not fall short in legislation to protect consumers. The only problem is how the laws, ranging from
the Consumer Protection Law to the Criminal Code, and their operational regulations, are enforced.
Rarely is the law strictly enforced in the form of maximum punishments. We have never heard of a company
having its license revoked or its owners imprisoned for lengthy periods of time for cheating their consumers. Rather,
because the Consumer Protection Law does not mean to kill business, it is more likely a company will be given an
opportunity to renew its permits despite having a stained track record.
Consumers in general cannot afford to fight the financial might of producers, which is why the state has to
support the weak to ensure fairness. Educating consumers of their rights is the least the state could do.

Mongoose is common name for several small carnivores found in Africa and Asia. They are
generally terrestrial mammals, but some are semi-aquatic, and others are at home in the
treetops.
The head and body of a typical mongoose are a total of 23 to 65 cm (9 to 26 in) long and
grayish or brownish in color. The animal has a tapered head, long tail, and short feet.
Mongooses live about 7 to 12 years in the wild, but in captivity they may live to more than 20
years. They have one to four young in each litter. They subsist on rodents and snakes and are
renowned for attacking even the largest and most poisonous snakes—to whose poison they are
not immune—by an agile avoidance of their strikes. Mongooses have been introduced to many
areas of the world in order to control rodents and snakes, but importation of mongooses into
the United States is prohibited because they also destroy many useful animals.
A common species of mongoose inhabits India. The common Egyptian species, the
ichneumon, was worshiped by the ancient Egyptians. A related animal, the suricate, or slendertailed meerkat, of southern Africa, is easy to tame.
Scientific classification: Mongooses belong to the family Herpestidae. The Indian
