Mountain anoa have a dark brown or black coat which is very woolly. Males are
usually darker in color than females. There are very few markings on the body: on each leg,
there are two faint light spots just above the hooves, and there are usually no markings on the
face or throat. The tail is relatively short. Both males and females have horns: these are
relatively short, straight, and angled towards the rear. The horns will grow between 15 and 20
cm.
Mountain anoa tend to be most active during the morning, retreating to sheltered areas
during the midday hours. They may seek shelter under large fallen trees, under overhanging
rocks, and in spaces beneath tree roots. Mud wallows and pools are used for bathing. The
short horns are used in both displays (trashing at bushes or digging up soil) and in physical
altercations: a bump using the front surfaces of the horns is used to show dominance, while in
fight sharp upward stabs are used in an attempt to wound the opponent‟s belly or sides. When
excited, mountain anoa vocalize with a short “moo”.
Mountain anoa are found only on the islands of Sulawesi and Butung in Indonesia. They
are rainforest animals, and prefer areas with dense vegetation, permanent sources of water,
and low human disturbance.

Falling asleep with the TV on or a dim nigh-light in your room may seem soothing.
But these seemingly innocent light sources could also from barriers between you and healthy
sleep.
A study suggests that exposure to light stimulates a nerve pathway from the eye to
parts of the brain that control hormones, body temperature, and other functions that play a
role in making us feel sleepy or wide awake. Therefore, too much light right before bedtime
may prevent you from getting a good night‟s sleep. In fact, one study recently found that
exposure to unnatural light cycles may have real consequences for our health including
increased risk for depression.
Not only depression, a breast cancer organization says that light may contribute to
breast cancer. It is resulted from the melatonim, a hormone that is believed to help reduce the
development of cancer, which is really related with light. Melatonim production normally
peaks at night and is lower during the day when your eyes register light exposure. When
people work at night or if they are exposed to external light at night, their melatonim levels
tend to stay low.
Those are now some good reasons for those having dark phobia to turn off the lights
before sleeping. If overcoming your fear of the dark is not enough to turn out the lights,
consider the impact of sleep disorders and poor sleep on your health.

Running has become very popular in our society in recent years. I see people of all
ages running along roadsides in the desert where I live, and I like to run myself. The great
advantage of this form of exercise is to intensity. It promotes fitness quickly and efficiently
and burns more calories than other activities, making it attractive to people who want to
control their weight. Because of its intensity, running release endorphins in many people,
creating the runner‟s high that some describe as an “energy buzz.” The runner‟s high – like
aerobic exercise highs in general – is a good antidepressant.
Nevertheless, running has some potentially serious disadvantages that you should
consider before choosing to do it on a regular basis. The chance of injury is greater than for
any of the other aerobic activities. Running traumatizes the body, especially joints in the legs,
knees, back, as well as the kidneys. You can minimize this possibility by taking several
precautions. Never run on concrete. If possible, run on cinder tracks or dirt path. Asphalt is
not as bad as concrete but not as good as dirt. Always wear well-made running shoes
designed to minimize shock to the joints, and get a new pair whenever your present ones start
to wear out. Warm up before you start a run, not by stretching but by running in slow motion.
Running can make you healthy or give you torture. However, since there are a number of
ways to avoid the disadvantages of running, then it will not be a big deal to keep running.

Admiral Keumalahayati was the first woman in the world who became an admiral.
She was born and raised in an admiral family. Both her father and grandfather were admirals.
Both of them had a big influence on Keumalahayati‟s personality. Thus, although she is a
woman, Keumalahayati wanted to be brave sailor as her father and grandfather.
When she was adolescent, she registered for Mahad Baitul Makdis Military Academy.
She was accepted in this academy and could take her military education very well. Even, she
completed the academy with a great result.
The story of admiral Keumalahayati‟s struggle started when a war in Malacca Strait
territorial water broke out, it was between the Portuguese troops and the Sultanate of Aceh
Darussalam. The battle happened in Haru Bay and was won by Aceh armada. However,
Admiral Keumalahayati‟s husband died in the battle. After the death of her husband, she
vowed to continue her husband‟s fight.
She then formed an Aceh armada which consisted of widows. Those widows‟
husbands all died in Haru Bay War. The armada was called Inong Balee in which
Keumalahayati appointed as admiral. After holding the position as the admiral,
Keumalahayati coordinated her troops on the sea, controlled various harbours such as
Syahbandar, and cotrolled the galley ship of the Sultan Darussalam.
Later on, Keumalahayati was involved in a battle against the Dutch in 1559. In the battle,
she killed Cornelis de Houtman and arrested his brother Frederick de Houtman. Admiral
Keumalahayati‟s success was an astonishing achievement.

Faster and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In
the most „developed‟ societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The
tourism industries of both develop and developing countries have recognized this fact and are
learning to take advantage of it. There are, however, some problems associated with this new
industry.
Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourists as an easy prey
because not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of
themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as camera and jewelry which can
be disposed of quickly for profit.
Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of
spreading contagious disease around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start
an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many disease
which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.
Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened
by too many visitors. Australia‟s Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being
destroyed by tourist and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral
cays.
These are just three of reason why any country should be a wary of committing itself to
an extensive tourism development program.

Pekanbaru, Riau (ANTARA News) – forest and land fires occurring in Riau Province
between February and April 2014 caused economic losses worth more than Rp20 trillion, as
per data furnished by the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB).
“It should be kept in mind that once the fires break out, it will be difficult to
extinguish them and can cause huge losses,” BNPB chief, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, recently
stated here.
The haze disaster triggered by the fire disrupted around 30 percent of the economic
activities and caused monetary losses in Riau. The BNPB had spent around Rp164 billion, or
one-third of its budget, to deal with the fires nationally.
The fire also caused environmental damage as more than 21.9 thousand hectares of
forest and plantation areas were gutted by the fires.
The haze also affected the health of several residents in Riau and the neighboring
provinces, such as in West and North Sumatra.
The largest loss caused by forest and land fires in Indonesia was in 1997, when fires
wiped out millions of hectares of forest and plantation areas and caused losses worth
US$2.45 billion.
