</h1>
<div class="fineprint">
<br /></div>
Now that our scripts are getting a little more
complicated, I want to point out some common
mistakes that you might run into. To do this,
create the following script called <tt class="user">trouble.bash</tt>. Be sure to enter it
exactly as written.<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt>#!/bin/bash
number=1
<tt class="user">if</tt> <tt class="user">[</tt> $number = "1" <tt class="user">];</tt> <tt class="user">then</tt>
<tt class="user">echo</tt> "Number equals 1"
<tt class="user">else</tt>
<tt class="user">echo</tt> "Number does not equal 1"
<tt class="user">fi</tt>
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
When you run this script, it should output the
line "Number equals 1" because, well, number equals
1. If you don't get the expected output, check your
typing; you made a mistake.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6977908491219000415" name="missing_quotes">Missing
quotes</a></h2>
Edit line 6 to remove the trailing quote from
the end of the line:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt> <tt class="user">echo</tt> "Number equals 1
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
and run the script again. You should get
this:<br />
<div class="display">
<tt class="prompt">[me@linuxbox me]$</tt> <tt class="cmd">./trouble.bash</tt><br />
<tt class="prompt">./trouble.bash: line 8:
unexpected EOF while looking for matching "<br />
./trouble.bash: line 10 systax error: unexpected
end of file</tt><br />
</div>
Here we have another case of a mistake in one
line causing a problem later in the script. What
happens is the shell keeps looking for the closing
quotation mark to tell it where the end of the
string is, but runs into the end of the file before
it finds it.<br />
These errors can be a real pain to find in a
long script. This is one reason you should test
your scripts frequently when you are writing them
so there is less new code to test. I also find that
text editors with syntax highlighting (like nedit
or kate) make these kinds of bugs easier to
find.<br />
<h2>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6977908491219000415" name="isolating_problems">Isolating
problems</a></h2>
Finding bugs in your programs can sometimes be
very difficult and frustrating. Here are a couple
of techniques that you will find useful:<br />
<b>Isolate blocks of code by "commenting them
out."</b> This trick involves putting comment
characters at the beginning of lines of code to
stop the shell from reading them. Frequently, you
will do this to a block of code to see if a
particular problem goes away. By doing this, you
can isolate which part of a program is causing (or
not causing) a problem.<br />
For example, when we were looking for our missing
quotation we could have done this:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt>#!/bin/bash
number=1
<tt class="user">if</tt> <tt class="user">[</tt> $number = "1" <tt class="user">];</tt> <tt class="user">then</tt>
<tt class="user">echo</tt> "Number equals 1
#else
# echo "Number does not equal 1"
<tt class="user">fi</tt>
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
By commenting out the <tt class="user">else</tt>
clause and running the script, we could show that
the problem was not in the <tt class="user">else</tt> clause even though the error
message suggested that it was.<br />
<b>Use echo commands to verify your
assumptions.</b> As you gain experience tracking
down bugs, you will discover that bugs are often
not where you first expect to find them. A common
problem will be that you will make a false
assumption about the performance of your program.
You will see a problem develop at a certain point
in your program and assume that the problem is
there. This is often incorrect, as we have seen. To
combat this, you should place <tt class="user">echo</tt> commands in your code while you
are debugging, to produce messages that confirm the
program is doing what is expected. There are two
kinds of messages that you should insert.<br />
The first type simply announces that you have
reached a certain point in the program. We saw this
in our earlier discussion on stubbing. It is useful
to know that program flow is happening the way we
expect.<br />
The second type displays the value of a variable
(or variables) used in a calculation or test. You
will often find that a portion of your program will
fail because something that you assumed was correct
earlier in your program is, in fact, incorrect and
is causing your program to fail later on.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6977908491219000415" name="empty_variables">Empty
variables</a></h2>
Edit the script to change line 3 from:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt>number=1
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
to:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt>number=
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
and run the script again. This time you should
get the following:<br />
<div class="display">
<tt class="prompt">[me@linuxbox me]$</tt> <tt class="cmd">./trouble.bash</tt><br />
<tt class="prompt">/trouble.bash: [: =: unary
operator expected.<br />
Number does not equal 1</tt><br />
</div>
As you can see, <tt class="user">bash</tt>
displayed an error message when we ran the script.
You probably think that by removing the "1" on line
3 it created a syntax error on line 3, but it
didn't. Let's look at the error message again:<br />
<div class="display">
<tt class="prompt">./trouble.bash: [: =: unary
operator expected</tt><br />
</div>
We can see that <tt class="user">./trouble.bash</tt> is reporting the error
and the error has to do with "<tt class="user">[</tt>". Remember that "<tt class="user">[</tt>" is an abbreviation for the <tt class="user">test</tt> shell builtin. From this we
can determine that the error is occurring on line 5
not line 3.<br />
First, let me say there is nothing wrong with
line 3. <tt class="user">number=</tt> is perfectly
good syntax. You will sometimes want to set a
variable's value to nothing. You can confirm the
validity of this by trying it on the command
line:<br />
<div class="display">
<tt class="prompt">[me@linuxbox me]$</tt> <tt class="cmd">number=</tt><br />
<tt class="prompt">[me@linuxbox me]$</tt><br />
</div>
See, no error message. So what's wrong with line
5? It worked before.<br />
To understand this error, we have to see what
the shell sees. Remember that the shell spends a
lot of its life substituting text. In line 5, the
shell substitutes the value of <tt class="user">number</tt> where it sees <tt class="user">$number</tt>. In our first try (when <tt class="user">number=1</tt>), the shell substituted
1 for <tt class="user">$number</tt> like so:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt><tt class="user">if</tt> <tt class="user">[</tt> 1 = "1" <tt class="user">];</tt> <tt class="user">then</tt>
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
However, when we set number to nothing (<tt class="user">number=</tt>), the shell saw this
after the substitution:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt><tt class="user">if</tt> <tt class="user">[</tt> = "1" <tt class="user">];</tt> <tt class="user">then</tt>
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
which is an error. It also explains the rest of
the error message we received. The "<tt class="user">=</tt>" is a binary operator; that is, it
expects two items to operate upon - one on each
side. What the shell was trying to tell us was that
there was only one item and there should have been
a unary operator (like "<tt class="user">!</tt>")
that only operates on a single item.<br />
To fix this problem, change line 5 to read:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt><tt class="user">if</tt> <tt class="user">[</tt> "$number" = "1" <tt class="user">];</tt> <tt class="user">then</tt>
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
Now when the shell performs the substitution it
will see:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt><tt class="user">if</tt> <tt class="user">[</tt> "" = "1" <tt class="user">];</tt> <tt class="user">then</tt>
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
which correctly expresses our intent.<br />
This brings up an important thing to remember
when you are writing your scripts. Consider what
happens if a variable is set to equal nothing.<br />
<br /><h2>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6977908491219000415" name="watching_your_script_run">Watching
your script run</a></h2>
It is possible to have <tt class="user">bash</tt> show you what it is doing when you
run your script. To do this, add a "<tt class="user">-x</tt>" to the first line of your script,
like this:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt>#!/bin/bash -x
</tt>
</pre>
</div>
Now, when you run your script, bash will display
each line (with substitutions performed) as it
executes it. This technique is called
<i>tracing</i>. Here is what it looks like:<br />
<div class="display">
<tt class="prompt">[me@linuxbox me]$</tt> <tt class="cmd">./trouble.bash</tt><br />
<tt class="prompt">+ number=1<br />
+ '[' 1 = 1 ']'<br />
+ echo 'Number equals 1'<br />
Number equals 1</tt><br />
</div>
Alternately, you can use the <tt class="user">set</tt> command within your script to turn
tracing on and off. Use <tt class="user">set
-x</tt> to turn tracing on and <tt class="user">set
+x</tt> to turn tracing off. For example.:<br />
<div class="codeexample">
<pre><tt>#!/bin/bash
number=1
<tt class="user">set</tt> -x
<tt class="user">if</tt> <tt class="user">[</tt> $number = "1" <tt class="user">];</tt> <tt class="user">then</tt>
<tt class="user">echo</tt> "Number equals 1"
<tt class="user">else</tt>
<tt class="user">echo</tt> "Number does not equal 1"
<tt class="user">fi</tt>
<tt class="user">set</tt> +x</tt></pre>

Amadeus has yet again
ranked as the European Research & Development (R&D) leader in the
travel and tourism industry, according to the 2012 EU Industrial R&D
Investment Scoreboard – an annual European Commission report that ranks the
largest 1,000 European companies by total investment in R&D. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
This award recognises
Amadeus’ commitment to R&D and emphasis on innovation, which is one of the
drivers behind Amadeus’ progress and growth. With a team of over 4,500 people split across sixteen
centres around the world (Nice, London, Sydney, Antwerp, Aachen, Frankfurt,
Munich, Boston, Miami, Toronto, Strasbourg, Tucson, Bangalore, Bogota, Warsaw
and Bangkok), the desire for innovation spreads throughout all sectors in
Amadeus.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Amadeus invested €347.5
million during 2011, an increase of 6.7% on 2010, to research and develop
technologies for use in the travel sector. This investment represented 12.7% of
revenues and helped the company maintain it number one position in Europe by
total R&D investment in the area of travel and tourism.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<b>Hervé Couturier</b>,
Executive Vice President, R&D, Amadeus IT Group, said: “Naturally we are
very pleased to see that our investment in R&D has been highlighted again
by this important European Commission study. Equally we are very proud to be
ranked again as a leader in the travel and tourism area. This further
emphasises our reputation for innovation”.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<b>Innovation
in hotels</b></h2>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
In recent years,
Amadeus’ R&D efforts have particularly focused on the hospitality industry.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
In 2010, Amadeus
launched the <a href="http://www.amadeus.com/hotelit/hotel-platform.html" target="_blank">Amadeus Hotel Platform</a>, an integrated and centralised hotel IT solution for hotel
chains that is set to transform the way hotels do business. Available as a
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, it combines central reservation system,
above-property management solution, call centre, distribution to any channel,
e-commerce, m-commerce and business intelligence into one fully integrated
platform.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
This platform is designed to support hotels in the current era of
globalisation and expansion,
enabling them to respond to changing traveller demands. Amadeus Hotel Platform
is not only a unique solution in the industry but is also an excellent example
of a platform conceived from an Open Systems approach and developed with the
proliferation of cloud computing in mind. </div>
<h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<b>Innovation
in the cloud</b></h2>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
In January this year,
Amadeus Hotels published <i><a href="http://www.amadeus.com/hotelit/industry-research/spotlight-on-open-systems-and-cloud.html" target="_blank">Clearing the Cloud; Best of Open Systems and Cloud for hotel business optimisation</a></i><b>,</b> a report that makes the case for hoteliers to embrace the Open
Source Software revolution in order to benefit from greater innovation.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Whether the hotelier is
battling with unwieldy legacy systems, trying to reduce costs across IT systems
or looking for that something extra to gain competitive advantage, the report
examines the suitability of Open Source Software. The report also outlines the
specific benefits to be gained from switching to Open Source software which
include: innovation, cost-efficiency, security, scalability and responsiveness.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<b>The

Guests demand greater online interaction and more tailored offers.
Shareholders want greater cost savings to drive profitability following
the sluggish performance of the hotel sector in the last two years.
Hotel groups need to relentlessly search for new revenue opportunities,
and need to act quickly to secure them. In this era of change, hoteliers
face a crucial question: what to demand of IT providers? <br />
With IT becoming an essential component of effective corporate
strategy, it is important to get fundamentals right. Through discussions
with industry analysts, commentators and hotel groups, analysing
surveys, and considering recent research, five key themes have emerged
on what global hoteliers should demand from IT providers: <br />
<h2>
The ability to cope with global expansion and business consolidation
as the market demands – even when these shifts happen rapidly</h2>
Over the past decade, the technological demands of hotels have grown
significantly. Such demands occur on two levels: the growing extent of
information surrounding each guest; and the need for operational
agility. Relating to the first, hoteliers have increasingly focused on
developing specific customer relationship management programs to foster
cradle-to-grave brand loyalty, requiring capturing and storing
information on guest activities and preferences. Simultaneously, guests
themselves have increasingly demanded more sophisticated technological
facilities, mostly before and during their stay. Relating to the second,
unpredictable markets and shifting economies require hotels to adjust
accordingly. IT providers must be able to meet these adjustments in an
agile, responsive manner. For instance, advertising sites and search
engines are increasingly able to propose leads to hoteliers in real
time, requiring hoteliers to accept or reject these leads in real time
too. This requires not so much a large amount of data as it does the
ability to process quickly the qualifications of a lead against an
extensive amount of data – which in turn requires IT providers suited to
the task. Such operational agility is particularly important for
growing hotel chains. <br />
<h2>
A vision towards the future and a focus on innovation</h2>
While Hoteliers focus on their own business, they may not have the
possibility to focus so much on technology. Hoteliers may struggle to
transform and develop IT technologies themselves. Indeed, in the past,
hoteliers tended to be almost reluctant to invest in IT, arriving late
to technological change. Yet now the consumer is pressing for
technological development, and the e-commerce/mobile trend in the market
is becoming an increasing reality.<br />
<br />
Given this, hoteliers must look for IT
providers that both integrate new technology, and that possess a
future-oriented vision to determine what technological actions should be
taken. Integrating new technology refers to the ability of IT providers
to work with new applications, keeping up with and driving change.
Studies have shown that hoteliers should expect the next decade to
demand enhanced websites, upgraded Central Reservation Systems and
internet booking engines, new means of promotion, and an increased
interaction with technology. Customisable website booking options is
thought to be the number one emerging technology trend. Artificial
Intelligence-based technologies used to forecast food and beverage
demand more accurately will become more common. Mobile technology is
increasingly being used by consumers to interact with hotels, leading to
pressure for specialised websites and interfaces.<br />
<br />
Can the IT provider handle these approaching demands? Indeed, can
they not just meet these changes, but actually drive change forward,
operating as a proactive rather than reactive force for the hoteliers?
Understanding such trends and future developments require constant
immersion in the IT world, combined with a serious focus on the
omnipresent question of ‘what is next’. Hoteliers deserve IT providers
that can both respond to, and lead, innovation.<br />
<h2>
Present a track record of success</h2>
IT providers should have demonstrated in the past that they have the
delivery capabilities and know-how to take on major industry challenges.
They need to be able to handle global, complex implementations and
on-going support for clients. How many dedicated client-facing and
research and development staff do they have? How many years of
experience do they possess managing portfolios? What is their track
record in dealing with heavy transaction processing? The absence of such
a background could be dangerous for hoteliers. For instance, the web
often has a high ‘look to book’ ratio. If IT providers have been unable
to handle heavy transaction processing in the past, this suggests they
will continue to do so in the future – meaning this ‘look to book’ ratio
will struggle against bad technology, and the hotelier would lose
business. Again, hoteliers require IT providers that are future-proof –
and in this case with the background to prove it.<br />
<h2>
Possess robust, stable and secure systems</h2>
A hotelier needs to be able to rely on their IT provider. They must
be able to trust that the IT provider’s system is at once stable, secure
and robust. A recent study indicated that more than 55% of credit card
fraud comes from the hospitality industry. Unpatched systems, storing
prohibited data, using low-strength passwords, and operating via
unsecured web applications have all been cited as leading to credit card
fraud. Security is crucial to protecting the reputation of the hotel
brand. What can the IT provider offer to ensure guests are protected?
Likewise, what happens when complications arise that challenge the
stability of an IT provider, such as a natural disaster or a power
outing? Infrastructure, system strength and security must be at the top
of any priority list, providing not simply stability but high level
stability within a heavy transactional environment.<br />
<br />
Thus IT providers should offer innovative,
forward-looking solutions. Data monitoring and data surveillance are
obvious steps. Increasingly important to security is the use of
hybrid-cloud technology. The managed nature of certain cloud structures
helps ensure that important data is stored within a secure, stable
location outside the hotels. Should a natural disaster or power outage
occur, stressing the infrastructure of the hotel or the IT provider,
cloud computing helps ensure data is housed within a stable cloud
environment. IT providers should also offer systems secure not only in
the present, but in the future, considering projected security
developments like ambient intelligence, knowledge mining, biometrics and
predictive analytics.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Offer development that is conscious of expenditure</h2>
For
hoteliers, budgets inevitably factor into cohesive business plans. IT
providers should be conscious of this, operating in such a way that a
hotelier’s investment is maximised. A recent study determined that not
having the budget to make necessary improvements was the biggest
challenge for IT departments, even as such developments and improvements
were considered to be crucial. Likewise, projects supporting both
cost-savings and revenue generating were ranked first (97%) as the main
driver for technology initiatives. Thus hoteliers should ask: what is
the IT provider doing to accommodate financial realities? How are they
addressing expenditures without hindering development? For instance,
some IT providers invest their own extensive funds into a centralised
system, enabling hoteliers to access the benefits of these systems
without having to likewise expend such capital upfront. Hoteliers should
consider the capex versus the opex commitments required to modernise
their systems.<br />
Inevitably, this is only the start. There will be
other things hoteliers should demand from IT providers – such as sector
experience and an ability to quickly meet needs, to name only two. But
the five demands listed above are crucial as hoteliers consider their IT
needs. They allow hoteliers to work with IT providers towards
future-proof, secure, client-focused, business-aware development. They
encourage advancement with stability and affordability with innovation.
In short, they are demands worth making.<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977908491219000415.post-6144461078846707662013-06-28T07:29:00.000+07:002013-06-28T07:29:00.095+07:00Technology :: Genetic survey sheds light on Oceans' lean, mean microbial machines<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Planktonic bacteria inhabiting the world's oceans have streamlined their genetic makeup to become lean, mean survival machines, according to new research by an international team of researchers, including microbiologists at the University of British Columbia.<br /><br />The findings, published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first direct evidence of widespread genome reduction—organisms evolving to cast off superfluous genes and traits in favor of simpler, specialized genetic make-ups optimized for rapid growth.<br /><br />"Microbes are the dominant form of life on the planet and comprise a huge proportion of the oceans' biomass, but we know next to nothing about how populations exist, evolve and interact outside of the lab," says UBC microbiologist Steven Hallam, Canada Research Chair in Environmental Genomics and author on the paper.<br /><br />"This widespread, signal cell genome sequencing of marine bacteria in the surface ocean has uncovered a surprising amount of metabolic specialization. This tendency toward genome reduction has profound implications for how microbial communities develop metabolic interactions that couple nutrient and energy flow patterns in the ocean. It could be a matter of survival of the most connected."<br /><br />Says Ramunas Stepanauskas, director of the Bigelow Single Cell Genomics Centre and the paper's lead author: "We found that natural bacterioplankton are devoid of 'genomic pork' such as gene duplications and noncoding nucleotides, and utilize more diverse energy sources than previously thought."<br /><br />Samples of planktonic bacteria were targeted from the Gulf of Maine, the Mediterranean, the South Atlantic and other sites. Data from northeast subarctic Pacific samples—taken over a six year period from the waters between Saanich Inlet and Ocean Station Papa along the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Line P transect was provided by Hallam's team.<br /></div>

Photocatalysis is an efficient means of reducing such pollution, and molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) catalyzes this degradation. Researchers from Bangalore, India, led by C. N. R. Rao now report no less than four methods to produce nanosheets made of very few layers of MoO3. This material is more efficient as a photocatalyst than bulk MoO3, they write in Chemistry—An Asian Journal.<br /><br />Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2013-06-fast-pollutant-degradation-nanosheets.html#jCpThe n-type semiconductor molybdenum trioxide is used widely in heterogeneous catalysis. The Indian team prepared nanosheets of MoO3 by oxidation of MoS2 nanosheets, by using graphene oxide as a template, and by intercalation with LiBr into the bulk material or its ultrasonication. When used as a photocatalyst in the degradation of methylene blue, a heterocyclic aromatic dye, the researchers found few-layered MoO3 to afford nearly complete degradation of the dye in less than 10 minutes, whereas only about one-third of the dye was degraded during this period with the bulk compound.<br /><br />"As MoO3 holds great potential in applications ranging from gas sensing to energy storage, our study will likely spur further research on few-layer MoO3," says Rao. Indeed, further results reported in their study suggest that a composite of this material with a borocarbonitride is promising as an electrode material for supercapacitors. It will be interesting to see what is coming next for this intriguing few-layer nanostructure.<br /><br /><br />Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2013-06-fast-pollutant-degradation-nanosheets.html#jCp<br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977908491219000415.post-81062402965079280472013-06-25T15:30:00.000+07:002013-06-25T15:30:03.761+07:00Hotel Technology :: 8 Hotels for Geeks of All AgesYou know how much we love <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/hotel%20technology"><b>cool hotel technology</b></a>

one that offers a cassette tape player in the room. But we had to
include that one. We had to!<br />

<b>THE SCI FI HOTEL </b><br />
Whatever sci-fi fantasy tickles your pickle—perhaps plugged into the
grid like in "The Matrix," abducted and organ-farmed by aliens—the <b>9hours Hotel</b>
in Kyoto, Japan is about as close to it in real life as you can get.
The property is a simple, nearly windowless building in an alley near
Kyoto's Kawaramachi Station and, like other Japanese capsule hotels, it
specializes in giving the weary worker or traveler one solid night of
bare-bones rest in a sparkling clean, sex-segregated environment.
<br />
Unlike other Japanese capsule hotels, however, it's prime focus is on
good living through good design. Alarms are soundless; ambient lighting
gradually awakens the sleeper without disturbing other capsules. Pajamas
and basic toiletries are provided, and the WiFi is free (but kept out
of sleeping quarters). We paid 4,900 JPY ($48) just a few days ago and
would do it again, sci-fi fantasies or no.<br />
<br />
<b>THE AV GEEK HOTEL</b><br />
Speaking of capsule hotels, Japan has actually expanded upon the concept to create a small chain of sleeping pod rooms called <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Hotel%20Technology"><b>The First Cabin</b></a>.
Modeled after the semi-private quarters of airplane first-class suites,
each guest is assigned one room identical to the rest. Inside is a
large Sony flatscreen TV (only watchable by using the provided
noise-cancelling headphones so as not to disturb others), pajamas, basic
toiletries, a lockable storage drawer and several power outlets and
free WiFi.
<br />
Since it's a chain, we chose the Osaka location as the geekiest owing to
its libraries of manga novels and its location near Dotonbori, a mecca
for foodies. Even better is they're growing; First Cabin currently has
branches in Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo's Haneda Airport, but this June
they'll debut in central Tokyo's Akihabara district, a name synonymous
with "otaku" or geek culture. Rates start at 3,300 JPY ($32) in Osaka
and only 2,800 ($27) in Kyoto.<br />

In their paper published in ACS Nano, the researchers describe how they coated gold nanoparticles with peptides to allow for altering the speed at which new blood vessels develop in specific locations in the body. <br /><br /><br /><br />The development of new blood vessels is critical while wounds are healing. It's also important in helping people recover from accidents or who have tissue damaged by disease. Speeding up angiogenesis can help to speed up recovery times. Sometimes however, angiogenesis can progress incorrectly resulting in the growth of tumors. In these instances, doctors would like to slow or stop the angiogenesis process. In this new effort, the research team has found a new way to accomplish both goals with one new treatment option.<br /><br /><br /><br />The new technique revolves around the use of nanoparticles—very small objects generally not found in nature. In this case, the particles created were made of gold. Because nanoparticles can so easily move around inside the body, the thinking was that nanoparticles could be used to deliver drugs to specific areas of the body where they are needed. In this case, the drugs were peptides that have been shown to speed up angiogenesis when appropriate and to slow the process when tumors have developed. The ability to deliver the drug only to areas where they are needed reduces side-effects.<br /><br /><br /><br />In order for angiogenesis to occur, endothelial cells must be activated by the presence of certain molecules engaging with receptor cells. Over time, researchers have developed various drugs to either stimulate or repress angiogenesis by activating the receptor cells or block them. Such drugs have only been useful for a short duration, however, and most often come with unwanted side effects. In this new effort, the team used nanoparticles to carry and deliver such drugs only to the parts of the body that needed them. They found they could target specific receptor cells that allow for focusing on different diseases. Specifically, they developed three types of peptides for delivery via nanoparticles: those that bind and promote cascade growth of blood vessels, those that block receptors cells from receiving signals, and those that serve as a control and do nothing. They report that they were successful in delivering all three types to target areas and that doing so caused the expected changes in angiogenesis rates.<br /><br />Explore further: Cholesterol sets off chaotic blood vessel growth<br /><br />More information: Manipulation of in Vitro Angiogenesis Using Peptide-Coated Gold Nanoparticles, Dorota Bartczak, Otto L.

The peptides, anchored to oligo-ethylene glycol capped gold nanospheres, were designed to selectively interact with cell receptors responsible for activation or inhibition of angiogenesis. The functional particles are shown to influence significantly the extent and morphology of vascular structures, without causing toxicity. Mechanistic studies show that the nanoparticles have the ability to alter the balance between naturally secreted pro- and anti-angiogenic factors, under various biological conditions. Nanoparticle-induced control over angiogenesis opens up new directions in targeted drug delivery and therapy.<br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977908491219000415.post-10721493074296080602013-06-25T07:38:00.000+07:002013-06-25T07:39:11.956+07:00Technology :: The Future of Hotels: How technology can move us forward<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Amadeus interviewed <strong>Anton Hell</strong> about how technology
can help hotels drive their business objectives better. Hospitality
technology expert Anton Hell has a thorough understanding of the
hospitality industry having spent more than 20 years of his career in
the hospitality and travel sector. Born and raised in Austria, he has
lived and travelled extensively in Europe, America and Asia and held
executive positions with major international hotel companies and cruise
operators such as Marriott, Penta and Cunard Line.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Given his extensive background in the industry, he carries within him
a passion to develop new business solutions that result in more
efficient and cost-contained hotel operations. For him, technology
exists to serve a greater purpose in fulfilling business objectives.
Currently, he is the Managing Director of Berlin-based hit-CONSULT GmbH.
The company aims to help its clients to strengthen their competitive
edge in the industry by optimising processes in the areas of operations,
controlling as well as marketing and distribution.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<strong>What are the key drivers that make hotel companies consider adopting new technologies?</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
The first key driver is reducing complexity within our technology. A
full service hotel operation has easily three or four operational
systems for specific functions, i.e. Property Management System (PMS),
Sales and Marketing, Catering, Point of Sale (POS), with mostly
proprietary interface technologies connecting them. Since these
on-property systems generate both vital business intelligence data as
well as customer relationship relevant information, they in turn are
connected to above-property systems (Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) solutions, Business intelligence tools, finance, etc.). </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
The questions that hotel companies need to
answer are: how can we reduce complexity, how can we increase system
availability and how do we obtain business relevant data to market and
run our hotels effectively? The concepts of cloud computing is a great
way of putting critical systems “above property”, hence eliminating
proprietary interfaces and increasing data security. Another important
initiative that is developed by European Hotel Technology Next
Generation (HTNG) - an organisation aiming at standardising interface
specifications and thus simplifying system to system integration.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Another key driver is the rapid evolution and change of the
distribution landscape. Can our existing technology infrastructure and
operational processes easily adapt to both emerging distribution channel
and/or changed customer shopping behaviors? Among other things, the
market penetration of internet-enabled mobile devices will have a huge
impact on how we distribute, how we engage with our guest and how we
enhance guest service.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Last but not the least, product differentiation. I believe that a
well-defined and understood target customer group(s) (who are our
guests), a product definition serving key needs of the target group
(what is important to our guests) along with a defined business strategy
and objectives (how are we going to deliver it and measure our success)
are key to success. We see this happening as more and more hotel
companies create sub brands to that effect. In that respect, CRM will
continue to play an important role to help hoteliers better understand
their customer needs and to effectively engage with their customers in
pre-stay, during their stay and post-stay.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<strong>Since changing technology is also a means to achieve
strategic business objectives, how should hotel companies get prepared
for that?</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Systems and technology alone do not solve issues, they provide a
framework to support vital business processes. Thus technology needs to
be adapted to your business needs and not vice versa.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I believe that first of all companies should clearly define their
business objectives with regards to new technology or change of systems.
Based on our experience, implementing a new technology usually affects
various departments, if not the entire company. We very often see that
individual key players within the organisation have different
understanding/opinion of what exactly the objectives are and what these
new technologies should enable.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Secondly, make sure all key players support the agreed objectives and understand their individual responsibilities.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Thirdly, establish and agree on a
realistic cost/benefit and return-on-investment (ROI) calculations.
Going through the process ensures that the new technology and its
functionality are tailored around your business needs, that systems are
not under- or over-engineered, and that technology positively
contributes to your business success.<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Finally, measure and monitor your success. Based on the business
objectives and the ROI, derive appropriate key performance indicators
(KPI’s), and monitor them regularly. This allows hoteliers to adjust
implementation strategies if the KPI’s show underperformance and/or to
determine early in the process when to abandon the project.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<strong>How can hotel companies bridge the gap between technology, operations and controlling?</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
When we help customer, we always first go back to the fundamental
questions: Who is the customer, what are his needs, and why is he buying
my product/service? Once these questions are answered, operational
requirements are clear, as well as what kind of technology is required
to best support the operation, and what financial and operational
controls must be implemented.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Focusing on the customer greatly benefits the company in making sure
that they do not over-engineer certain processes and that the key
processes that are important to the customer are optimally supported by
technology.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<strong>How can hotel companies define new business and IT processes, and align them with their organisation’s overall business goals?</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Again, I believe customer focus is crucial when answering most of
these questions. How does my customer buy the product? How does he
experience it? How do I make him return? These questions should be at
the center of every technology re-engineering process or any IT project
to stay focused on the real value of what any new technology should
deliver.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<strong>What key industry trends will be the most impactful for the next 3 years?</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
The whole mobile computing trend will
continue to have a major impact on distribution channels, more precisely
on how customers shop and buy travel products, and will consequently
change customer booking behavior. Most of our customers see 80%+ of all
bookings made from a mobile device being made on the day of arrival.
Time window of booking will shorten. For example, there will be
instances when larger companies will abandon global contracting and will
give more freedom of booking back to individual travelers as long as
they stay in a certain price range. This is a key change of how the
industry will distribute and this will impact technology greatly in
terms of how product information and prices are presented.<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Providing solid and good internet connectivity in every property will
be a MUST. The role of in-room entertainment will diminish and may even
go away eventually since people will bring in their own entertainment
with them.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
The whole energy theme will become an issue in itself
too. Energy and energy saving technology will come increasingly into
play. Within the next three years, management companies will start
adding energy saving-related requirements into their management
contracts because of operational cost concerns. Before, it was not as an
issue but now it will be.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
CRM is going to be more and more
prominent especially for products that do not necessarily compete over
price like niche products. More and more hotels will refocus their
distribution strategies, defining better their customer segmentation and
how to take care of them, for example by setting up smart loyalty
strategies. Adoption of CRM systems is still in its infancy in the hotel
industry simply because of system complexity. It will require superior
guest recognition improvements to meet the needs of hoteliers in their
guest strategies.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Pressure to consolidate will increase. Focusing on brand and brand value will also be a major trend.</div>

Smartphone adoption among American teens has increased substantially
and mobile access to the internet is pervasive. One in four teens are
“cell-mostly” internet users, who say they mostly go online using their
phone and not using some other device such as a desktop or laptop
computer.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
These are among the new findings from a nationally representative Pew
Research Center survey that explored technology use among 802 youth
ages 12-17 and their parents. Key findings include:</div>
<ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<li class="first">78% of teens now have a cell phone, and almost
half (47%) of them own smartphones. That translates into 37% of all
teens who have smartphones, up from just 23% in 2011.</li>
<li>23% of teens have a tablet computer, a level comparable to the general adult population.</li>
<li>95% of teens use the internet.</li>
<li class="last">93% of teens have a computer or have access to one at
home. Seven in ten (71%) teens with home computer access say the laptop
or desktop they use most often is one they share with other family
members.</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
“The nature of teens’ internet use has transformed dramatically —
from stationary connections tied to shared desktops in the home to
always-on connections that move with them throughout the day,” said Mary
Madden, Senior Researcher for the Pew Research Center’s Internet
Project and co-author of the report. “In many ways, teens represent the
leading edge of mobile connectivity, and the patterns of their
technology use often signal future changes in the adult population.”</div>
<h3 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
About the Survey</h3>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These
findings are based on a nationally representative phone survey of 802
parents and their 802 teens ages 12-17. It was conducted between July 26
and September 30, 2012. Interviews were conducted in English and
Spanish and on landline and cell phones. The margin of error for the
full sample is ± 4.5 percentage points. This report is the second in a
series of reports issued in collaboration with the Berkman Center for
Internet & Society at Harvard. The first release, “Teens, Parents
and Online Privacy,” was published in November 2012 and is available at:

PKS - Partai Keadilan Sejahtera - Cadres degrading the Prophet Joseph StoryThe impact of imports of crispy bacon bribery case in the Ministry of Agriculture goatee was remarkable, Vortex black bearded meat continues to roll like a snowball getting bigger and eventually cause tremendous panic panic especially officials and their PKS cadres at the grass roots.<br /><br /><br />The bribery case came from the hands of the Commission of the fishing operation fathanah Ahmad was alone in the room with a beautiful woman at the hotel Le Meridien Jakarta. As a result of the incident, not just Ahmad fathanah are a convict, former PKS president Lutfi Hasan Isaaq and two directors of Main Indoguna also been named suspects by the KPK.<br /><br /><br />Publication relentless preaching always color the bribery case, let alone a lot of unexpected things black vortex behind the bearded meat, for example unfolding conversation after conversation started recording through the Commission which played the leads in bribery trial of crispy meat imports and the fact many bearded butterfly Ahmad dilingkaran pretty fathanah and other unexpected events that make the public wonder that anyone thinks the party that has brought clean and care jargon, but behind clean and empty jargon cares it turns out that far from the truth.<br /><br /><br />Given this reality, many PKS cadres at the grass roots of anger especially as many of them are bearded truth, they are so panicked, because it is like a ship, PKS is like a ship that is facing the seconds hit by a storm and sank due to big waves, so it is certainly a lot of ways this is done so that the ship does not sink kedasar oceans.<br /><br /><br />So to save this sinking ship, many PKS cadres or sympathizers who pose as PKS, do everything possible to save this ship, ship captains command always pursued simultaneously, ranging from the existence of the Zionist Conspiracy, Conspiracy America, there is even one song ship captain who said that the storm that hit the PKS like the story of Prophet Yusuf.<br /><br /><br />As usual, ship captains song always run with the best, then without command again, PKS cadres blind taqlid, writing stories vying virtual world, affecting even the bribery case of former president's rather like the story of Prophet Yusuf.<br /><br /><br />Analogize bribery case crispy beef imports that hit Ustaz Lutfi Hasan bearded Isaaq with the story of Prophet Yusuf, the analogy of this story, of course, beyond our common sense, how can the Prophet Joseph could be equated with the figure Lutfi Hasan Isaaq.<br /><br /><br />Joseph was a man of God, Man of God who became the leader of the people and events that happened to the Prophet Joseph was a test from God, then how could the man of God may be likened to Lutfi Hasan Isaaq who caught bribery beef, if you want to talk honestly, the case of PKS and Ustaz Lutfi Hasan Isaaq is actually a punishment from God, as the word of God, which reads:<br /><br /><br />Except ye thankful we definitely will add favor to you and if you deny the favor to azabku very painful indeed. (Q.s. Ibrahim: 7)<br /><br /><br />Why could PKS storms bribery and Lutfi Hasan Isaaq made prisoner by the Commission, all of which have originated from the pleasure they can but they are grateful for the enjoyment of it, because they are not grateful for the favors God has given them, then according to the promise of God, which occurred azablah on them.<br /><br /><br />They claim to be the party's propaganda, they claim to be a clean and caring party, but behind the ignorance of their true behavior, only the almighty Allah who knows anything we do not know.<br /><br /><br />The disclosure of the bribery case crispy beef imports hit bearded PKS and make Lutfi Hasan Isaaq as a prisoner, not a Zionist conspiracy, not the American conspiracy. This is the unfolding bribery case intervention Allah almighty knows that behind jargon clean and care it turns out there is hypocrisy there.<br /><br /><br />Imagery associated with the storm that hit the PKS and Ustaz Lutfi Hasan Isaaq like the story of Prophet Yusuf, obviously this parable is a form of humiliation or degrading the PKS cadres Story of Prophet Yusuf, PKS hide behind this story, and as if the storm that hit the PKS and Ustaz Lutfi Hasan Isaaq about events it has also been experienced by the Prophet Joseph.<br /><br /><br />Though the events of the story of Prophet Yusuf until such severe ordeal was a test from Allah, and contrary events of the PKS and Ustaz Lutfi Hasan Isaaq, the events that took place was actually a punishment from Allah SWT and not the result of a Zionist conspiracy and American conspiracy that can not be proven to this day by the originators PKS President Anis Matta.<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977908491219000415.post-44003933194339390382013-05-22T07:41:00.002+07:002013-05-22T07:43:45.261+07:00In Indonesia.

The acquisition of assertiveness behavior is not specific to any discrete stage of childhood development but instead is a function of instruction, modeling, and rehearsal.

Problems with assertiveness can occur early in development in the form of overly shy or aggressive behavior, and later as social anxiety disorder and avoidant personality disorder. In outlining the facts about assertiveness, we have chosen to outline problem sets that can be conceptualized as due at least in part, to a deficit in assertiveness.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Prevalence. Low levels of assertive behavior, as evidenced by the presence of social anxiety disorder, is a highly prevalent problem. It is estimated that nearly 13.3% of all people in the US suffer from social anxiety at some point in their lives (Kessler et al., 1994). Social phobia is most prevalent amount people who are young (18–29 years of age), undereducated, single, and of lower socioeconomic status; social phobia is slightly less prevalent among the elderly (Magee, Eaton, Wittchen, Duckworth, M. P. & Mercer, V. (2006). McConagle, & Kessler, 1996). Avoidant personality disorder occurs in less than 1% of the general population (Reich, Yates, & Nduaguba, 1989; Zimmerman, & Coryell, 1990). Displays of aggressive behavior may be relatively common, yet the prevalence of extreme aggression as evidenced by the presence of antisocial personality disorder is relatively rare, occurring in only about 1–3% of the general population (Sutker, Bugg, & West, 1993).</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Age at onset. Extreme shyness is known to be present in a large percentage of children. The mean age at onset for social phobia is 16 years old. The age at onset for social phobia occurs later than the onset for simple phobias but earlier than the onset for agoraphobia (Ost, 1987). Studies have found that the number of children with social phobia is increasing (Magee, et al., 1996). Aggression also appears to be expressed in early adolescence. In a study of African-American and Hispanic adolescent males it was found that children who had high levels of externalized behavio problems also tended to assert themselves in a hostile manner (Florsheim, Tolan & Gorman-Smith, 1996).</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Gender. Although a larger percentage of men evidence assertive behavior than women men are also more likely to engage in aggressive behavior (Eagly & Steffen, 1986). Extreme aggression, as sometimes captured by antisocial personality disorder or psychopathy, is significantly more common in men (Dulit, Marin, & Frances, 1993; Sutker et al., 1993). Although women are represented more frequently among populations of persons experiencing anxiety disorders, social anxiety disorder occurs with relatively equal frequency across women and men. The gender ratio for social anxiety disorder is 1.4 to 1.0, females to males. Avoidant personality disorder also occurs equally across women and men. Taken together, these findings suggest that assertiveness may be an appropriate technique for men and women who engage in overly passive or overly aggressive behaviors.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Course. Extreme passivity, as captured by social phobia, begins in adolescence increases into the late 20s, and then declines in later life (Magee et al., 1996). Extreme aggression, as captured by antisocial personality disorder, begins in adolescence in the form of conduct disorder, increases through the 20s, and then decreases across the 40s (Hare, McPherson, & Forth, 1988).</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Impairment and other demographic characteristics. Level of impairment is indicated by the problems experienced by people who are represented at the extremes of the assertiveness continuum. Problems associated with extreme passivity, can range from being bullied to experiencing repeat victimization by partners. Problems associated with aggression can range from suspension of privileges in childhood to serious negative legal consequences in adulthood.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
There are differential finding for the impact of assertive behavior among ethnic groups, the impact seems entangled with socioeconomic status and culturally specific styles of communication (Malagady, Rogler, & Cortes, 1996; Zane, Sue, Hu, & Kwon, 1991). Social phobia is found to be equally prevalent among ethnic groups (Magee et al., 1996).</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Given that assertive behavior occurs as a part of a broader interaction complex, the likelihood that an individual will engage in assertive behavior is a function of skill and performance competencies, reinforcement contingencies, motivational-affective and cognitive-evaluative factors. Behavioral explanations for the use of passive or aggressive strategies rather than assertive strategies emphasize opportunities for skills acquisition and mastery and reinforcement contingencies that have supported the use of passive or aggressive behaviors over time. Behavioral conceptualizations for passivity often emphasize early learning environments in which passive responding may have been modeled (e.g., care givers who were themselves anxious, shy, or in some other way less than assertive) or more assertive behavior punished (e.g., overly protective or dominating care givers). In the absence of opportunities for acquisition and reinforcement of other interaction strategies, passive behavior persists. Important to any complete behavioral conceptualization of passive behavior would be an evaluation of the reinforcement that is associated with current displays of passive behavior, that is, how is passivity currently “working” for the individual? Behaviors that are reinforced are repeated. Repeated engagement in passive behavior suggests repeated reinforcement of such behavior. Passive responding may be reinforced through the avoidance of responsibility and decision-making. With what amount of attention, positive or negative, are passive responses met? The individual employing passive strategies may need to reconcile his or her “active” influence on situations with the alleged passivity.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Aggressive behaviors can be learned through the observation of aggressive models and reinforced through their instrumental effects. Even in the absence of overt goal attainment, aggressive behaviors may be experienced as intrinsically reinforcing by virtue of the autonomic discharge associated with such behaviors. Aggressive behavior may serve as a socially sanctioned interaction style (Tedeschi & Felson, 1994). Aggressive behavior may also be a consequence of the absence of opportunities to acquire alternative social interaction strategies. Motivational-affective factors are important to patterned displays of passive and aggressive behavior. Although the affective experience of anger is not sufficien to explain aggressive behavior, feelings of anger do increase the likelihood that the actions of others will be experienced as aggressive and, thereby, elicit aggressive behavior.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Cognitive explanations for passive and aggressive responding would posit that outcome expectations are primary in determining the passive or aggressive response. The passive individual may look to the history of failures in making and/or refusing requests in deciding whether to attempt the ecommended assertive behavior. Outcome expectations may interfere with adoption of the “new” assertiveness. Such outcome expectations must be managed if the likelihood of assertive responding is to increase. The passive individual needs to be cautioned regarding the imperfect relationship between assertive responding and desired outcomes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Initially, assertive responses may not meet with desired outcomes. It is the persistence of the assertive response that will ensure that the probability of the desired outcome increases over time. In the short run, then, the measure of successful assertion may not be the occurrence of a desired outcome but the mere assertive communication of one’s opinions, needs and/or limits.</div>

<b>What should be Ruled Out?</b><br />Assertiveness appears to be of differential utility in the context of domestic violence. Some research suggests that battered women are potentially at increased risk as a result of assertive behavior in the context of ongoing domestic violence (O’Leary, Curley, Rosenbaum & Clarke, 1985). On the other hand, assertiveness training has been found to contribute to a woman’s decision to leave a violent relationship (Meyers-Abell, & Jansen, 1980). Research addressing male batterers suggests that batterers have assertiveness deficits that may contribute to there use of aggression and violence to express their needs and manage the needs of their domestic partner (Maiuro, Cahn, & Vitiliano, 1986). In the context of female sexual victimization, assertiveness training appears to empower women and reduce their exposure to violence (Mac Greene & Navarro, 1998).</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /><b>What is Involved in Effective Assessment?</b><br />Assessment of assertiveness skills and performance abilities should be broad enough to capture and distinguish among various explanations for performance failure. Traditionally, a hierarchical task analysis is used to determine the causal variable that accounts for the skill/performance deficit (Dow, 1994). Initially assertiveness skills are evaluated in a nonthreatening (or less threatening) environment. Given that the client demonstrates adequate assertiveness skill in the nonthreatening environment, assertiveness skills are evaluated in the context of more clinically relevant social situations. Given that skills are adequately performed in clinically relevant social situations, other contributions to response failure are evaluated including affective and cognitive variables that might mediate the skill–performance relation. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Behavioral models of depression suggest that the pursuit of social interaction (and, thus, experience of reinforcement) may be limited by negative affective experiences that are present throughout the interaction (Lewinsohn, 1974). For example, anxiety that is experienced during an assertive interaction may be insufficient to impair performance but may be sufficient to render the interaction a punishing rather than reinforcing event. Assertive behaviors presuppose the existence of adequate social skills. An assertive communication is measured not only by the content of the verbalization but also by the accompanying nonverbal behaviors. Appropriate posture and eyecontact are essential in executing an appropriately assertive response. An appropriately assertive posture would convey relaxed but focused attention, this posture contrasted with an overly rigid posture that might convey either anxiety or obstinacy. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Other important nonverbal behaviors include facial expression and body movements and gestures. Affective displays should be congruent with the content of the assertive communication, not suggesting anxiety, false gaiety, or anger. Body movements that indicate nervousness and uncertainty (e.g. hand-wringing) should be avoided. Movements that convey anger or dominance (e.g., invasion of the other’s personal space) should also be avoided. These nonverbal behaviors are included among behaviors identified by Dow (1985) as relevant to socially skilled behaving.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />The content of the assertive communication is important in its clarity and form. The tone and fluidity of the request, command or refusal are also important. Generally, the assertive request is characterized by its reasonableness, its specificity regarding actions required to fulfill the request, and its inclusion of statements that convey the potential impact(s) of request fulfillment for both the individual making the request and the request recipient. The tone in which the request is delivered should convey the importance of the request; however, the tone should not imply some obligation on the part of the request recipient to comply with the request. The content and tone of assertive refusals share the quality of being evenhanded and unwavering.<br />Assessment of skill sets and performance competencies is necessary prior to skills training and throughout the skills acquisition/practice process. Skills for assertive behaving are evaluated through the use of self-report instruments as well as behavioral observation in contrived and natural settings.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Clinician-administered measures. Generally evaluations of assertive behavior involve observations of skill displays (e.g., communication, social interactions) in clinical, analogue, and natural settings, rather than using clinically administere measures of assertiveness. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Observational ratings of skill assets, deficits, and mastery made by the treating clinician can be formalized by systematically targeting all nonverbal and verbal behaviors considered relevant to assertive behaving. There are structured clinical interviews that assess diagnostic features of anxiety, the reader is referred to the social anxiety disorder chapter in this text for that information.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Self-report measures. Assertiveness skill evaluation and training often occurs in the broader context of social skill and social competence. The self-report instruments that purport to measure assertiveness range from actual measures of assertive behaviors to instruments that assess related constructs such as social avoidance, self-esteem, and locus of control. The most commonly used measur of assertiveness skills is the Rathus Assertiveness Scale (Rathus, 1973). </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Self-monitoring of social behaviors performed in the client’s natural environment is essential to both assessment and treatment of potential skills and performance deficits. Monitoring instructions usually require that the client describe their social interactions with others along a number of dimensions. The client may be instructed to briefly describe interactions with males versus females, acquaintances versus intimate others, peers versus persons in authority, and in structured versus unstructured interactions.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Although real world evaluation of skills is preferable, the office is the most common arena for skills evaluation and practice. Therefore it is essential that the client provide detailed accounts of problem interactions and that the content and cues of the experimental arena be as consistent with that real world as possible.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Behavioral assessment. Behavioral observation is considered the preferred strategy for evaluating assertiveness skills and performance competencies. Usually observations/evaluations of assertive performances are made in clinical or research settings rather than real world settings. Clinic and laboratory settings provide contexts for informal observation (waiting room behaviors and behaviors engaged in by the client during the clinical interview) and formal observation (social interactiontasks and role-plays) of an individual’s behavior.<br />Clinical interview. In the clinical setting, the client’s waiting room behavior (i.e., his/her interactions with other persons in the waiting room and with clinic staff) is available for observation. Exchanges had during initial assessment sessions also serve as data to be used in establishing the presence or absence of verbal and nonverbal communication skills considered essential to assertive displays as well as contextual/situational/interpersonal factors that may influence the likelihood of assertive behaving and the mastery with which assertive behaviors are performed.<br />Social interaction tasks in analog settings. In evaluating a client’s social skill and comfort, the therapist may enlist confederates to engage the client in interactions that test the client’s ability to initiate and participate in casual exchanges. These tasks are considered low demand tasks. Usually, these tasks do not contain any of the elements of identified problematic interactions.<br />Social interaction tasks in real-world settings. Of course, the optimal arena for evaluating assertive behavior is the client’s natural environment. As often as possible, the real world context should be captured. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<i style="color: blue;"><b>For example</b></i>, a male client reporting difficulty initiating social interactions with female peers might be observed in real world settings that are familiar to him and that present opportunities for contact with female peers (e.g., the college library, an undergraduate seminar, a scheduled, on-campus extracurricular event). Other local contact arenas are also acceptable for evaluation of skills including coffee houses, dance clubs, etc.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Role-plays. In the clinical context, a “true” observation of assertive behaviors is made through the use of role-playing. Based on the client’s report of difficult interpersonal interactions/exchanges, interaction opportunities that mimic these difficult interpersonal interactions (to a lesser or greater degree) are engineered and the client’s use of assertive behaviors observed. Typically, the therapist serves as the “relevant other” in such role play situations. Research participants or clients are asked to display their skills repertoire in the context of contrived interactions with the researcher/therapist or some confederate. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
In structuring the role play, the therapist aims to lessen the artificial quality of the role play and to strengthen the correlation/correspondence/reliability between the client’s performance in artificial and natural settings. This is best achieved through the use of dialogue and contextual cues that most closely approximate the naturally occurring problematic interactions. Role-play confederates and scenarios are often selected with relevant contextual factors in mind.</div>

Assertive behavior usually centers on making requests of others and refusing requests made by others that have been judged to be unreasonable. Assertive behavior also captures the communication of strong opinions and feelings. Assertive communication of personal opinions, needs and boundaries has been defined as communication that diminishes none of the individuals involved in the interaction, with emphasis placed on communication accuracy and respect for all persons engaged in the exchange.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />Assertiveness is conceptualized as the behavioral middle ground, lying between ineffective passive and aggressive responses. Passiveness is characterized by an over attention to the opinions and needs of others and the masking or restraining of personal opinions and needs. This over-attention to and compliance with the opinions and needs of others may serve as a strategy for conflict avoidance and/or maintenance of particular sources of social “reinforcement.” Aggressiveness often involves the imposition of one’s opinions and requirements on another individual. Implicit in the discussion of assertiveness is the suggestion that assertive behavior is the universally preferred behavioral alternative, and that assertive behavior necessarily leads to preferred outcomes. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The degree to which assertive behaviors are to be considered superior to either a passive or an aggressive stance is determined by the situational context. The success of assertiveness does not always lie in tangible outcomes (e.g., request fulfillment). The success of assertiveness sometimes lies in the degree of personal control and personal respect that is achieved and maintained throughout the assertive exchange.</div>

pertunjukan spesial di televisi di Vatikan, di tengah beredarnya hasil
riset baru yang membantah klaim bahwa kain itu palsu. Riset baru itu
juga mengatakan, kain itu berasal dari masa yang sama dengan kematian
Yesus.<br /><br />Paus Fransiskus mengirim pesan video khusus ke acara di
katedral Turin, tetapi tidak berkomentar mengenai apakah gambar pria di
Kain Kafan Turin itu benar-benar Yesus. Paus menyebut kain itu sebuah
“ikon”, bukan relik alias peninggalan sejarah. Ini perbedaan kecil tapi
penting.<br /><br />“Gambar ini, yang tertera di kain, berbicara kepada hati
kita dan menggerakkan kita untuk mendaki bukit Golgota … serta
menenggelamkan diri kita dalam keheningan cinta yang agung,” katanya.<br /><br />“Wajah

kehidupan yang tidak menghargai kehormatan mereka, oleh perang dan
kekerasan yang menyengsarakan kaum lemah,” katanya. “Dan pada saat yang
sama, wajah di Kafan menyampaikan kedamaian; tubuh yang tersiksa ini
mengekspresikan keagungan.”<br /><br />Banyak ahli meyakini hasil pengukuran
karbon (carbon-dating) terhadap kain itu, yang mengatakan bahwa kain
itu berasal dari abad ke-13 atau ke-14. Meski demikian, beberapa pihak
mengatakan mungkin saja kain itu telah tercemar dan perlu ada sampel

Labour Day, also known as Eight Hours Day in Tasmania and May Day in the
Northern Territory, commemorates the granting of the eight-hour working
day for Australians. It also recognizes workers’ contributions towards
the nation’s economy. It is an annual public holiday and its date varies
across the states and territories. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
What do people do</h2>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Many people use the Labour Day holiday as part of a long weekend
where they can relax, spend time with friends or family members, play or
watch sport, have barbecues. Some people plan a getaway trip to a
coastal region, the mountains or the countryside where they can engage
in various activities such as picnics, wine-tasting at a winery,
bush-walking, or camping.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Throughout the nation, Labour Day is an occasion for unions,
community groups and the general public to join in celebration. In
Queensland’s capital city of Brisbane there are marches are held on or
around Labour Day. They are often led by the state’s key political
leaders and influential key figures. Union members often take part in
these marches.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Public life</h2>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Labour Day is a public holiday in all states and territories in
Australia. It is observed in Western Australia on the first Monday in
March and on the second Monday in March in Victoria and Tasmania. It is
celebrated in the Northern Territory and Queensland on the first Monday
in May. It is held on the first Monday of October in the Australian
Capital Territory, New South Wales and South Australia.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
During this holiday government offices are closed, as are post
offices, schools and many businesses. Those planning on using public
transport on this holiday need to check with the local transport
authorities prior to travelling.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Background</h2>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The history of Labour Day in Australia spans over a century. It is an
important annual event that remembers those who struggled and succeeded
to ensure decent and fair working conditions in Australia. During the
mid to late 1800s the working day was long and arduous, where some
employees would work up to 12 hours a day, six days a week.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Many Australians saw the need for better working conditions and in
the 1850s there was a strong push for this. On April 21, 1856,
stonemasons at the University of Melbourne marched to Parliament House
to push for an eight-hour working day. An agreement with employers for a
48-hour week was eventually reached and Australian workers welcomed the
new eight-hour day. A victory march was held on May 12 that year and
each year after that. In 1856 the new work regulations were recognized
in New South Wales, followed by Queensland in 1858 and South Australia
in 1873.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
In 1874, Tasmania joined the other states in adopting the shorter
eight-hour working day. In 1879 the Victorian Government made one
further step towards better conditions for employees by proclaiming a
paid public holiday that year. In light of the labour movement’s
successful push for an eight-hour day, a large May Day meeting was held
in Melbourne in 1890. On May 1 that year a local newspaper made
reference to that day as May Day.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
One of the first May Day/Labour Day marches in Australia occurred on
May 1, 1891 in Queensland. More than 1000 people participated in the
march and carried banners. The leaders wore blue sashes and the Eureka
flag was carried. It was reported that cheers were given for “the
eight-hour day”. The Labour Day date was moved from May to the second
Monday in March in some parts of Australia after World War II. Since
1948, Labour Day in Western Australia has been observed on the first
Monday in March. It marks the granting of the eight hour working day to
Western Australians.</div>

<b>What Treatments are Effective?</b><br />Assertiveness training, when employed as part of a more comprehensive cognitivebehavioral therapy package, is useful for the treatment of people whose lack of assertiveness skills manifests behavior appears as either passivity or aggression. When the absence of assertive behavior is explained by affective or cognitive factors rather than a skills deficit, other strategies are recommended as adjuncts to of assertiveness skills training and practice. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Examples of such strategies include relaxation training to reduce performance inhibiting anxiety or anger, cognitive restructuring to challenge negative performance predictions and overgeneralizations regarding performance errors, and cognitive reframing with respect to performance goals and measures of performance success.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /><b>What are Effective Self-Help Treatments?</b><br />There are a plethora of self-help resources available to clients interested in self-initiated efforts towards assertive behaving. These resources are largely in the form of assertiveness training books and internet site targeted directly at the lay person. Although the effectiveness of any individual resource is generally not available to the client he or she may rely on the credentials of the authors or site hosts (e.g., authors who emphasize empirical research and universities as site hosts) to guide their selection of self-help materials.</div>

temuan Gerbang Pluto (Plutonium dalam bahasa Latin) dalam sebuah
konferensi arkeologi di Turki bulan lalu, baru saja dilaporkan oleh
Discovery News. Francesco D'Andria, profesor arkeologi klasik di
Universitas Salento di Lecce, Italia, menggali Situs Warisan Dunia
Romawi-Yunani Hierapolis selama bertahun-tahun, memimpin tim penelitian
ini.<br /><br />D’Andria mengatakan pada Discovery News bahwa ia menggunakan
mitologi kuno untuk menjadi petunjuk menemukan gerbang legendaris itu
ke neraka di dunia bawah. "Kami menemukan Plutonium dengan
merekonstruksi rute menuju sumber mata air panas. Mata air Pamukkale'
yang menghasilkan teras putih terkenal itu berasal dari gua ini."<br /><br />Penulis
seperti Cicero dan geografer Yunani Strabo mencatat bahwa gerbang ini
terletak di situs kuno di Turki, menurut Discovery, tapi tak ada yang
berhasil menemukannya sampai sekarang.<br /><br />"Gerbang Pluto" sudah
didokumentasikan oleh Ensiklopedia Situs Klasik Princeton yang masuk
dalam gambaran Hierapolis. "Menempel pada kuil di tenggara adalah
Plutoneion, sumber ketenaran kota tersebut. Strabo menggambarkannya
sebagai sebuah lubang di perbukitan, yang di depannya tertutup oleh
kabut tebal yang bisa berakibat fatal bagi siapapun yang masuk." <br /><br />Strabo
(64 SM-24 SM) menulis, "Tempat ini penuh dengan asap kabut yang sangat
tebal sampai orang tak bisa melihat tanah. Hewan yang melewatinya
langsung mati. Saya melempar burung gereja dan mereka langsung menarik
napas terakhir dan jatuh."<br /><br />Gerbang neraka ini masih sama
berbahayanya sampai sekarang. Kata si profesor, "Kita bisa melihat gua
mematikan itu saat penggalian. Beberapa burung langsung mati saat
mencoba mendekat ke bukaannya yang panas, langsung terbunuh oleh asap
karbon dioksida."<br /><br />Menurut Discovery News, asap ini berasal dari
gua di bawah situs, termasuk kolom-kolom dengan pahatan untuk Pluto dan
Kore, dewa-dewa bawah tanah. Ditemukan juga sisa reruntuhan kuil, kolam
dan tangga yang ditaruh di atas gua. D'Andria kini tengah mengerjakan
reka digital situs tersebut.<br /><br />Yang menariknya, bukaan ini bukanlah
satu-satunya pintu gerbang pertama ke dunia bawah tanah. Di Gurun
Karakum, menurut Daily Mail, terdapat lubang besar berapi yang sudah
menyala selama 40 tahun. Pengunjung pun datang ke Derweze di
Turkmenistan dan mencarinya di internet. Para ahli geologi yang tengah
mengebor di area tersebut menemukan gua gas alami. Dengan harapan untuk
menghilangkan gas, mereka membakar gua tersebut. Apinya terus menyala
sehingga orang lokal menjulukinya "pintu neraka".Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977908491219000415.post-16281455035242398822013-04-29T07:46:00.001+07:002013-04-29T07:46:18.405+07:00Only In Indonesia :: Jabar Number One case of blasphemy<span class="long_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="" title="Jabar Nomor Satu Kasus Penodaan Agama."><br /></span><span class="" title="Jawa Barat merupakan wilayah yang paling banyak memunculkan kasus penodaan agama dan rumah ibadah.">West Java is the most territory raises many blasphemy cases and houses of worship. </span><span class="" title="Data ini dimuat dalam Laporan Kehidupan Beragama 2013 oleh Center for Religious and Cross Culture Studies (CRCS) Universitas Gadjah Mada yang dipublikasikan pada Kamis, 25 April 2013.">This

Sayang prosesnya tak banyak berhasil," kata Direktur Program CRCS Zainal Abidin Bagir.">"In
the house of worship of conflict, mediation be preferred. Unfortunately
the process is not much work," said program director Zainal Abidin
Bagir CRCS.<br /></span><span class="" title="Zainal mengatakan, salah satu kesimpulan utama laporan itu adalah pentingnya melembagakan mediasi sebagai solusi konflik.">Zainal said, one of the report's main conclusions is the importance of instituting mediation as a solution to the conflict. </span><span class="" title=""Kalau tetap tak ada terobosan, bakal terus bermunculan kasusnya, terutama di isu penodaan agama dan konflik rumah ibadah," ujarnya.">"If
still no breakthrough, the case will continue to emerge, particularly
in the issue of desecration of houses of worship and religious
conflict," he said.<br /></span><span class="" title="Untuk itu, pemerintah perlu segera membentuk lembaga mediator resmi konflik keagamaan di banyak daerah rawan.">To
that end, the government should immediately establish an institution
official mediator in many religious conflict prone areas. </span><span class="" title="Menurut peneliti Pusat Studi Keamanan dan Perdamaian (PSKP) UGM, Syamsu Rizal Panggabean, mediasi lebih menjanjikan penyelesaian konflik yang mendidik ketimbang instrumen hukum.">According
to researchers Center for Security and Peace Studies (CSPS) UGM, Syamsu
Rizal Panggabean, mediation is more promising than the resolution of
conflicts that educates legal instruments. </span><span class="" title=""Sampai sekarang belum ada yang resmi, sementara kapasitas pemda maupun polisi sebagai mediator sangat rendah," kata Syamsu pada acara yang sama.">"Until
now there has been no formal, while the capacity of local government
and the police as a mediator is very low," said Syamsu at the same
event.<br /></span><span class="" title="Dia mengatakan instrumen hukum terbukti lemah di banyak kasus.">He said legal instruments have been weak in many cases. </span><span class="" title="Misalnya, konflik rumah ibadah Gereja HKBP Filadelfia Bekasi dan GKI Taman Yasmin Bogor, keputusan Mahkamah Agung justru diabaikan.">For
example, houses of worship conflict HKBP Filadelfia Church GKI Taman
Yasmin Bekasi and Bogor, the decision of the Supreme Court was denied. </span><span class="" title=""Kasus ini menunjukkan pula dalam isu konflik agama tata kelola pemerintahan terlihat buruk, sebab kepala daerah yang menolak eksekusi putusan MA," kata dia.">"This
case shows also the issue of religious conflict governance looks bad,
because the officer who refused to execute the Supreme Court decision,"
he said.<br /></span><span class="" title="Rizal menilai mediasi yang berjalan justru diwarnai proses negosiasi yang timpang.">Rizal who runs precisely assess mediation colored unequal negotiation process. </span><span class="" title="Pemerintah daerah atau polisi memihak salah satu kelompok.">Local government or the police side with one group. </span><span class="" title=""Tajul Muluk (tokoh Syiah Sampang) mengaku saat mediasi pernah diminta polisi menandatangani peryataan tobat," kata dia.">"Tajul Muluk (Sampang Shiite leader) admitted today signed the mediation had asked police statement of reconciliation," he said.<br /></span><span class="" title="Mediator, kata dia, mesti mampu mendorong aktor yang terlibat, baik mayoritas maupun minoritas, untuk menjalankan komunikasi sosial yang tak memicu ledakan konflik.">Mediator,
he said, should be able to push the actors involved, both majority and
minority, to run social communication that is not a conflict triggered
the explosion. </span><span class="" title=""Kasus Syiah Sampang, ekskalasi konflik makin memuncak ketika perang argumentasi terjadi lewat toa (pengeras suara) masjid," ujar Rizal.">"The
