Strawberry Field Forever Story

In the autumn of 1966, John went to Spain after accepting the part of Gripweed in Dick Lester's film of How I Won The War. While relaxing on the beach at Almeria, John started to work on 'Strawberry Field Forever', a song he imagined as a slow-talking blues number. He completed it in a large house he was renting in nearby Santa Isabel.

It started out as a nostalgic view of a Salvation Army Orphanage in Woolton, where he , Pete Shotton and Ivan Vaughan used to play amongst the trees, and ended up, like so many of John's songs, as a rumination on states of consciousness. Strawberry Field was a large Victorian building with extensive wooded grounds in Beaconfield Road, a five-minutes walk from John's home in Menlove Avenue.

Because of this romantic associations, Strawberry Field became a symbol of his desire to be alone, of his feeling that he was somehow set apart from his contemporaries. If 'Strawberry Field Forever' is a song about John seeing the in a different way to everyone around him, the meaning is clearer in the earliest version of the lyric, where he wrote that no-one is on his wavelength, they're either 'too high or too low.'

Why Does Phony Laugh So Effective?

A Research proved that the use of phony laugh makes audiences laugh longer and more often, and makes a certain show more interesting. To know why is it so effective, we should understand a principle of social proof. This principle states that one of the best ways to decide what is right or wrong is by finding what is considered to be right or wrong by society.
This principle relate to, especially, the way we determine a right behavior. We tend to do something that is also done by a lot of people. We will suggest that we behave according to the social flow. Usually, if a lot of people do something, then it will look as if it were a right thing to do.
Just like any other influence weapon, social proof is a lead who we should behave in our society.

UN Has Violated Human's Right!

On November 1947, under the pressure of America (Truman begging to Jews voter for presidency), UN General Assembly suggested that Palestine to be "temporary divided" into half Arab state, and Jews state.
Palestine people-even after 40 years of Zionist propaganda and forced immigration-was still the majority in that country, 1.268.000 Arabs and 678.000 Jews. Palestine people against the division rigidly. Whole Islamic countries against that suggestion. Palestine people asked International Court to investigate UN right in dividing a country without its people agreement, but member of the court refused to do that.
Holy western democracy give over Palestine without Palestine people agreement!

Remember Deir Yassin

On April 1948: Zionist Terror Squad (Irgun), which is led by Menachem Begin, slayed 254 Palestine people in Deir Yassin. Two hundred and forty women and children were killed, including pregnant women. All the dead body were thrown into the well. Zionist also exploded houses with dynamite, ransacked and raped the women before killed them.
Within several days, as Zionist expected, half million of Palestine people ran away from their home and country to give the space for Zionist. Irgun leader ordered his men to send this message to all over Palestine: "What has happened in Deir Yassin could happen in everywhere."
In 1980, Deir Yassin were bulldozed in order to build road. That's is how Israel were established.

15 Ways to Save Our World

1.Control The Use Of Paper
If you have to print something, minimize the use of paper by print it back and forth. Or use lapsed paper. This is because the more you use paper the more trees will be cut down.

2. Turn Food into Fuel
So far, benzine and solar are used as main fuel for our vehicle. Beside they are from earth oil that can't be renewed, this kind of fuel generates CO2 as well. Why don't you use bio diesel and bio ethanol? this kind of fuel comes from renewable resource, which generates less emission.

3. Avoid Using Screen Saver
If you have to leave your computer in on condition, turn off the screen saver. Instead of saving energy, it consumes more energy and also generates CO2. Turn off your computer when you have to leave it, can reduce CO2 emission until 83%, and 63Kgs/year. Get yourself used to using laptop than desktop computer, according WWF, laptop consume less energy than desktop computer. Also turn off your TV, HiFi , and home theater when you don't need them rather than put it on standby condition.

4. Change The Bulb
Let's change LED bulb with CFL or neon that consume less energy. By using CFL, you can save energy in significant amount. Although CFL has little energy, 5-20 watt, its light as bright as LED. If you use CFL appropriately, it could last 2 years!. But now there is SSL (Solid State Lightning), this kind of bulb has the same concept of LED. But it's an active one. It consume less energy than LED, but it's more expensive than LED.

5. Check Your Tyre pressure
This is because the tyre that lack pressure, require more fuel, Why? when the tyre is lacked of pressure, its effective diameter will wane because of vehicle weight pressure. Consequently, it will reduce the range of tyre rotation, It cause the tyre to rotate more to go the same distance.

6. Take Off Your Tie
In 2005, Japan Prime minister Yunichiro Koizumi suggest the Japan employees not to use their tie and wear a cozy shirt in office during summer. He also asked every office to set AC in 28 degree. In one summer, that policy succeeded to reduce CO2 emission until 71.700 ton.

7. Drive Smartly
Turn off your vehicle when you are waiting someone or something. Since in idle condition, your vehicle has a low rotation, fuel can't burn perfectly in this condition. Consequently, it generates more CO2 and N2O. We should better warm up our vehicle before using it, since the cool machine generates more emission than warm one.

8. Open Your Windows
In America, more than 22,7 ton of emission are generated by house. We can reduce the CO2 emission by controlling the use AC. Just open your windows to get our house cooler or use energy thrift AC. Also maintain a distant between your refrigerator and wall, since the heat will cause your refrigerator to consume more energy.

9. Use Organic Fertilizer
When the farmer fertilize the his field, some of the fertilizers contain nitrogen that transform into N2O, which cause glass house effect effect that is 320 times more severe than CO2! Switch to compost that can be used from organic litter. This kind of fertilizer cause only 20 times more severe than CO2.

10. Plant Bamboo Tree
Bamboo can absorb CO2 4 times more than other tree, since it grows faster. But only planting bamboo tree in a plenty numbers that can make this tree to absorb CO2 faster than releasing it.

12. Use Public Transportation
Transportation contributes 14% glass house effect emission. So, we better use public transportation, beside we can help to reduce the number of CO2 emission, we can also save our money to buy fuel.

13. Reduce Beef Consumption
International meat industry is suggested to contribute 18% world emission. Cattle, for instance, generate 60 liters of CH4/day, when the grass is fermented in its digestion.

14. Reduce The Use of Plastic Bag
Here is the fact: plastic bag which we carry from supermarket, mall, or store will end up in garbage-can. Every year, 500% are distributed in the world, only 3% of them are recycled. Whereas, plastic bag require 1000 years to be asunder, and also generate dangerous emission. It's better to use cotton bag or natural-fiber bag when you are shopping.

15. Buy Local Product
Local food Product and beverage don't need distant range distribution. It means, less CO2 will be generated by car to ship the food and beverage.

For Liberty and Jusctice

(Following is an excerpt of Soekarno, first president of Indonesia, in Council for World Affairs, Los Angeles, April 21, 1961.)

Today, your nation is different and your leaders are different. The ideas you express are different. My nation too, is different. Therefore, as five years ago, once again I ask for the active sympathy and the active understanding of nation.
I do not plead for the sympathy and understanding. On the contrary, I hope to show that these things are in the interest of your nation, no less than the interest of my own nation. The idea of the interdependence of nations is today truism, but it is nevertheless a fact, and cannot be emphasized too often. Those nations like yours and mine, which seek a peaceful world in which man can rise to his full stature in liberty and harmony, those nations must understand and sympathies with each other.
It is of course true that the tactics we adopt in achieving our ideas may vary from nation. Even our strategy doesn't necessarily run on the same line. And yet we could most certainly agree on our international aims and ideals.
This is not surprising. Indeed all man who are free to raise their voices would agree with those aims.

Surprising Fact of Whale Origin

Prior molecular studies have proposed the hippo as the closest land relative of today's whales, but researchers reporting in the journal Nature on Wednesday suggest a four-footed creature from India known as Indohyus (Above), which probably hid in water in times of danger.
Scientists have long known that whales had ancestors that walked on land. Now a team lead by Hans Thewissen of Northeastern Ohio Universities Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy have pieced together a series of intermediate fossils that trace the whale's evolutionary journey from land to sea.
Thewissen and his team studied the structure and composition of hundreds of fossils of Indohyus, which is part of the larger group known as raoellids. Raoellids lived at about the same time as the earliest whales -- about 50 million years ago.
Thewissen's team found key similarities in the skull and ear that suggest a link to cetaceans, a family that includes whales, dolphins and porpoises.
Indohyus, for example, had an outside layer that was much thicker than similarly sized mammals.
This is something typically seen in slow-wading mammals. They found further evidence in the chemical make-up of Indohyus' teeth, which resembled those of other aquatic animals.
This suggests the small, stocky Indohyus spent a lot of time in the water.
Scientists had assumed whales descended from land-dwelling carnivores, and made their way to sea to feed on fish.
The researchers believe Indohyus gradually spent more time in the water, either for protection or while feeding, and the dietary shift came later.

Therefore, they can live better. That’s why I ordered to cut down the trees.”

The emperor, then, turn to Chen Ping and ask him the same questions.
“There are officers who overcome this subjects his majesty,” Chen Ping replied.
“What officer?” the emperor ask.
“If his majesty want to know about the amount of lawlessness, minister of justice. If you want to know about amount of our treasure and wheat, we can ask minister of treasury and minister of agriculture.” Chen replied confidently.
“If all matters are overcome by those ministers, then what is your responsibility?”
“I feel honor to be your prime minister. A prime minister is responsible to help emperor to run a government. Externally, I maintain a good relationship with our neighbor; internally, I try to make everyone living in prosperity by ensuring that all officers from all departments running their duty well.”
Emperor Wen is pleased hearing that answer.
