In Indonesia, many people argue that the attempt in the oil palm is a way of making a living are very profitable and also environmentally friendly. Besides, other than can be consumed, palm oil can also be used as fuel
But the Dutch environmental organization Environmental Defense Milieudefensie or judge, the use of palm oil as fuel, more environmentally damaging than conventional fuels such as diesel. Environmentalists Netherlands in partnership with Indonesian Forum for Environment (WALHI) is concerned about the fate of native forests in Indonesia are a lot cleared by various companies.
For example Ritsema said Malaysian palm oil company which he considered a major cause of environmental pollution in Indonesia. "We have been researching how they operate. They are, among others, guilty of illegal deforestation. We managed to disassemble the case and has prepared a report about it. Then we talk with these companies, but to no avail."
Therefore Milieudefensie complained in a joint organization of palm oil industry. "This way we do insistence," said Ritsema. Ritsema added, generally in Indonesia, deforestation occurs extraordinary. Therefore, Indonesia is one of the countries that most spewing CO2 emissions. China's number one, followed by America and then Indonesia.
"It's weird, because Indonesia is not the most advanced industrial countries. But that CO2 emissions caused by forest cleared lot," said Ritsema. Because the trees are logged, then diminished trees suck up CO2, obviously Ritsema. However, now in Indonesia, many tree planting projects, such as what is done by various NGOs in Java. According to Ritsema, the projects would not be able to compete against the onslaught of deforestation earlier. "The benefit is less if trees are planted but still cleared forest. This is a setback"
However Ritsema see these projects have benefited. "I think that tree-planting project is also its positive impact. But it still will not be metralisir impact of jungle deforestation. Tree-planting project was not going to be able to recover the jungle." KF-Newspapers Residents / ar / Radio Netherlands.

5 FACTS ABOUT HIV / AIDS NEED TO KNOW
HIV / AIDS cases in Indonesia, the more alarming. In Indonesia, the cumulative cases of HIV and AIDS from January 1987 until March 31, 2009 only, consisted of 6668 HIV cases, 16,964 AIDS cases. The proportion of cumulative AIDS cases by age groups, among others under the age of one year reached 135, ages one to four years to reach 175, ages five to fourteen years to reach 88. Aged fifteen to nineteen years to reach 522, age twenty to twenty-nine years to reach 8567 cases. While the age of 30 to 39 years to reach 4997, aged 40 to 49 years to reach 1427, aged 50 to 59 years to reach 404, age above 60 years to reach 91, and unknown patient reaches the age of 558 cases.
From this data, patient age and earning quite a lot of teenagers. This is alarming. Most teens consider HIV as a disease that is not dangerous. Worse yet, a lot of understanding of HIV / AIDS. Let's look at 5 facts about HIV / AIDS that must be known to teenagers:
1. HIV indiscriminate
Since the HIV epidemic began 20 years ago, the stereotypes that circulate in society about persons with HIV are gay men, drug users and commercial sex workers who get that label. In fact, everyone can get HIV, from old age, young, rich, poor, women, men, and children - children and from various professions.
2. Oral sex is not as safe as thought
Oral sex is often considered a way of "safe" sexual intercourse. In fact, based on research, the infected body fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions containing high concentrations of the HIV virus can enter the bloodstream through the mucous membranes of the mouth.
3. Do not just worry about pregnancy
Many teens believe, one - the only risk of unprotected sex is pregnancy. Therefore, taking birth control pills, oral sex and ejaculation outside to prevent pregnancy. In fact, many things to worry about than pregnancy, namely the existence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as syphilis, herpes, including HIV that could threaten life.
4. Sometimes people are not telling the truth and we do not know the truth
Think for a moment the above sentence. How many people who admit that they suffer from HIV when asked by his new partner? How many people who acknowledge their sexual lives when they know someone new? How many people are really - really know their HIV status and health status of people - people with them before?
A statement "My partner does not have HIV" can only be accepted if accompanied by tangible evidence of a negative HIV test. Ask clearly their HIV status and ask them to do the tests as evidence, nor from ourselves.
5. There is no cure for the killer
Although people with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA) to live longer thanks to antiretroviral drugs, these drugs do not cure. If any of these drugs protect against opportunistic infections is not a "shortcut" from HIV infection. These drugs even cause side effects such as diarrhea, excessive fatigue, redness, nausea and vomiting. So, you should consider before you go too far and ruin your future, because HIV is a "silent killer", the silent killer that obviously will make you regret in the future because of it.

Great.

WISeKey – Joining the Fight against Counterfeits
I really can’t be certain how it is in the rest of the world, but counterfeit stuff is very commonplace here in the New York area, and it’s not just in back rooms in Chinatown, it’s on the street in broad daylight and in storefronts… Heck, I’ve even seen a counterfeit “party” with luxury label handbags, complete with wine and cheese. It didn’t seem like a big deal, until I wanted an elegant bag of my own, and wondered if everyone would just assume it was a fake. It really isn’t a victimless crime is it?
Well, WISeKey is revolutionizing the world of luxury brands by protecting companies like Hublot, Dior and Chris & Cris with patented Digital Brand Protection Solutions. The new technology consists of creating an electronic guarantee certificate with an algorithm, which contains the item’s identity code and is securely stored on a SmartCard that will enable special access to a reserved space on the brand’s website. Sales outlets and clients will be able to use the SmartCard to instantly check online to see if an item is genuine. The combination provides a fail-safe solution that is impossible to replicate and, at a fraction of the cost of sales lost due to counterfeiting.
Once and for all someone has come out with a brand new way to protect luxury brands, while fighting counterfeiting, boosting sales and providing a private social network for brand enthusiasts, all at the same time.
WISeKey is meeting with other organizations to further develop the creative use of WISeKey’s security and authentication technology. WISekey is embedding its unique patented technology as part of a broader brand protection policy. Anti-counterfeiting measures are organized around each brand WISeKey is working with.
So someday it won’t be that easy to come across a $40.00 Dior bag, but when you do plunk down $3500.00 bucks for one, you’ll know for sure its real… and that’s a very good thing.
