Why do I Blog?

Now I know the answer, why people make blog. That's why I made this blog. And I think I 'm starting to get a headache now because of this crazy thing ::). So if sombody ask me why do You blog?. Simply I will ask : blogging is a joyful thing and so much interseting, that's all. Hi..hi..
Here is my found after I just started blogging : We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results." A perfect description of blogging, don't you think? ha..ha.

And do You know, the short answer bisedes above reasons are "To be heard" and "To Make friends".

In my view, there are three regimes, roughly: One, few, many.

"One" == Diaries. Some people keep their diary on-line, and don't mind if others read it.

"Few" == Socializing, chatting. The intended audience is close friends, and events only of interest to that circle.

"Many" == Punditry. The goal is to reach as many people as possible with your ideas. These categories aren't strict walls, but are general aims.

Some people may say :"Hanifah, You are late, people has started to blog since some years ago, where've You been?".

I would say : "Yeap mybe you right, but everyone has their own choices in this live, they free to choose anything their like and I've chosen that a couple days ago was the best time to start blogging for me for some reason that I cannot tell you...weks.....hi..hii"

So, lets start blogging

Recurring floods in Central Java keep residents sleepless

Around 300 houses in Sidorejo and Rejosari, Demak, were flooded after the Cabean river dam collapsed Saturday evening.

"We didn't expect these floods to keep hitting our village," Kosim, a resident, told The Jakarta Post on Sunday.

"We can't sleep soundly any more. Even though we're tired we have to remain alert. The floods can inundate our houses anytime and we'd have to move."

Residents of the two villages have been forced to evacuate to parts of the river levy that were not damaged.

"I've asked residents to relocate to safer grounds in a nearby village, Rimbun Lor, but they refused. I can't do anything about it," Rejosari village chief Mahmud Mugiono said.

Kosim said most of the houses were flooded with water of up to one meter high and that the foundations of at least five houses had been nearly washed away.

"We've had to secure our home appliances by placing them in makeshift storages that are raised 1.5 meters off the ground," he said, adding that villages had been inundated since last Monday.

Meanwhile, three earthmoving vehicles have been operating around the clock to fix the damaged dam near Rejosari village. (amr) .

Urine Battery Turns Pee Into Power

Urine contains many ions (electrically charged atoms), which allows the electricity-producing chemical reaction to take place in the urine battery, said UC Berkeley's Kammen. Other bodily fluids, such as tears, blood, and semen, would work easily as well to activate the battery.
"Little bags of urine may generate chuckles," Kammen said. "But really urine is just a nice example [of] a whole variety of compounds that do this stuff." Even children's lunch-box fruit-juice packets are sufficient, he added.

Alternative Energy
While medical devices inspired the urine battery, it can activate any electric device with low power consumption, according to Lee, the battery's co-inventor.
"For example, we can integrate a small cell phone and our battery on a plastic card. This can be activated by body fluids, such as saliva, during an emergency," he said.
According to Kammen the technology could even be applied to laptop computers, mp3 players, televisions, and cars. Body-fluid-powered batteries "can do all kinds of things. The issue is how they scale up" to produce more power, he said.
One approach is to simply build larger batteries. Another method is to link lots of little battery cells side by side, which is how the batteries in laptop computers work, Kammen explained.
Kammen, who advocates government funding for alternative energy research, says the wide number of applications for cheap and efficient biofluid-powered batteries illustrates the value of research. "Investigation leads to innovation," he said.
