Palestine: Israeli Refuse Peace

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Ramallah, Kompas.com
The government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused peace, it's been said by a Palestine official to AFP, after Washington said that its side has been failed to persuade Israeli to renew the moratorium of Jewish settlement developing.

“By refusing to give a clear answer to US, Israeli refuse to put the settlement development off and give a peace chance on the area,” that official said, asked not to mention his name.

US, on Tuesday (12/07/2010), stopped for asking to Israeli to renew the moratorium of Jewish settlement developing at west border of Jordan River so it would throw Palestine-Israeli meetings from deeper riots. President Barack Obama leads direct conference launch back in Washington on last September, just to see that they were at the dead set when the moratorium of settlement developing ended and Palestine refused to be back on the meeting table.

The White House and Department of State, on Tuesday, mentioned that several weeks they tried to be the facilitator of the meeting for nothing.

Egypt Desert was an Old Lake

The geologists has estimated that one of desert area in Egypt was an old lake last time. The analysis about it was published in Geology journal issued on December 2010.

The lake area was estimated bigger than Erie Lake. The range of the lake was until west side of Nile River, even it was estimated to reach Sudan's border.

The ancient lake was estimated to be formed 250,000 years ago for the first time. After forming periods, the lake got dried and had gone 80,000 years ago.

Ted Maxwell, a geologist from Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington said that by knowing the lake position and forming periods, we can know the condition of environment when people on that time started to migrate out of Africa.

"You would realize that this place was full of a big lake when people on that time migrated out of Africa, Maxwell said. It has been said that people migrated out of Africa since 200,000 years ago.

The geologists used satellite to identify and analyze when taken from 80's and 90's periods.

"It was surprise when we realize,'hey, it might be a lake area," Maxwell said.

Although it was supported by several topography proves, they were still not enough to determine if there or not the lake and how the forming is. One of supported proves is there Tushka lowland area. The area was said that it was so low enough to be flooded by Nile River water and made the lake forming.

Another prove was there fish fossil where found in the desert area and having a same characteristic with fish in Nile River. The fish fossil shows that the water had connection with Nile River.

In the meantime, one of proves that could not be found is a beach line. Maxwell said that the beach line might be gone, covered by sands which also covering the lake area.

"Another problem is there no prove of sedimentation on the area," Maxwell said when interviewed by Discovery. There was no sedimentation made us got difficulty to prove the existence of that big lake.

Even such, Christopher Hill from Boise State University, another scientist who not involved in the study, is just pretty sure that the desert area had been an old lake.

About the water source, according to Hill, Nile was not the only possibility. "About the water source, the other possibilities are the drainage from plateau to west, the water source in the ground from south, local rain and another potential," he said.

Hill also said,"The sediment remains from archeological artifact show that the lake was created from local rain or ground water. Then lake extended until the area connected with Nile River."

The Octopus Paul and The Stupidity

Paul is a name of an octopus in Germany. He has been found in Weymouth, England two years ago. Now Paul is cared in Oberhausen sea aquarium, Germany. During World Cup 2010 in South Africa, Paul could take public attention because of the accuracy to predict the winner of some games. Even Paul got a public anger in Germany when he could predict that Germany would be defeated by Serbia. In the final match, Paul predicted that Spain would be the winner against Netherland. And it comes true.
Many people think that Paul is a smart octopus because of the accuracy to predict. Even many people come to the octopus to ask to be predicted. People are astonished on Paul’s ability. Even there is a business man who wants to buy the octopus US$ 40,000.00. Wow!
Is it true that Paul the octopus a smart creature? Was it just coincidental that Paul chosen the winners in each game before it happened?
Nowadays many people are amazed on the unusual happenings. They call it as a miracle from God. But God has shown to us many miracles, right? Sometimes we don’t see it as a miracle. Look at a chameleon that can camouflage by changing the color of the body depending on the environment. If you think Paul smart, of course the chameleon is also smart because it can think to change the body’s color.

Public Sympathy for The Antagonist

You must have ever heard about a real story from New Castle, England. Raoul Thomas Moat (37) has died from a dramatic ambushing by polices. He died suicide by a machine saw when police tried to ask him to surrender.
As we know Raoul Moat was the most wanted person in New Castle after his statement about war against everyone who made him separated with his ex-girl friend, Samantha Stobbart (22) and his two daughters. He has killed Samantha’s new boyfriend, Chris Brown (29) and injured David Rathband (42), a cop. Moat became the most frightening terrorist.
The story was started when Moat had made relationship with Samantha for six years. They have two daughters from the relationship. Moat was a former convict, so when he was in jail, Sam decided to break up with him. She made a new relationship with Brown, a cop. And it made Moat had a vengeful feeling. The government also did not allow him to meet his daughters because Sam neighborhood mentioned that he was a rude man.
He tried to kill Sam, but it just made her getting injured, he could kill Chris Brown and injured David Rathband during patrolling. So he became the most wanted. He stated war against police, government and everyone who has separated him from Sam and his daughters.
On July 10th, 2010 police found and surrounded him in Northumberland, New Castle, England. When some polices tried to ask him to surrender, he asked for forgiveness to Samantha and asked to tell his daughters that he loves them. What he shared his feeling to the police made many people sympathetic to him. After his death, there are many people coming to the place where he died to give condolences. They gave their sympathy for Moat. Even there is a group in Facebook to give Moat an honor, and there are thousands people join the group.
The thing that makes me thinking is people who gave their sympathy to Moat, who blame the cops and government. Do they feel what Sam and her family felt when getting terrors from Moat? Do they feel what Chris Brown’s family felt when they lost him? Do they feel the fears of Sam’s family when Moat launched his terrors to the family?
I remember there is a story about a kidnapped victim who falling in love with the kidnapper. There is a connection between the kidnapper and the victim. What the kidnapper felt afforded to crush the victim’s heart. It happened to Moat. Moat’s feelings crushed public’s hearts. People don’t care about what he has done (killing a man and injured a woman and a man), and judge that it’s a normal for Moat to do that.

Love


Everybody in the whole world always talk about love. And people find love in a different way, from a first sight, from introduction via friends, a meeting and so on. You won’t believe it when finally you find a true love, a love that you will grab it and not let it go.
But how can we prove the true love? You can describe love like stars in the sky, it’s beautiful, but it’s too high to grab. You also can describe it like a rose flower, it’s beautiful, but it’s also dangerous because of its thorn. Usually love is described as something beautiful, but sometimes it is also described as something can hurt us, so it is dangerous too. So we can prove the true love when we make a bond with someone we believe to become a couple for rest of their life.
Love (Arabic: mahabah) is doing something but no hoping for reward. Do you think to do something sincerely is easy? I don’t think so because we must omit the egoism, individualism and materialism in ourselves. We have to realize that we live together with other people on the same planet, so we must share what we can do to everybody who needs our helps. As long we can help the other people, you do it sincerely, then you can understand what love is.
I have ever heard a song sung by George Benson, “The Greatest Love of All”. It is a nice song and I really like it. The song tells about the love inside our selves, learning to love our selves is the greatest love of all. Of course it is not about narcissism but with loving our selves, it will create a love for everybody.
I believe you know the definition of love with your own words. So tell me, I want to know what love is.
