Excuses For Smoking/Reason For Quiting
"IF I quit smoking, I'll gain weight"
This is a common fear: According to the US Public Health Service, 60 percent of women and 47 percent of men say they continue to smoke because they're afraid of gaining weight. Studies have indicated, however, that most smokers do not gain weight when they quit. "On the average, only about one third of ex-smokers gain weight, one third remain the same, and one-third actually lose weight because they incorporate their quiting into a total self improvement program."
"But I Really Enjoy Smoking, I like The Taste"
The question here is, how many moments are truly enjoyable, and how many are just so-so? Is it real enjoyment the smoker is getting, or just satisfaction for the physical craving? After a day particularly haeavy smoking, almost every smoker can remember cigarettes tasting terrible the next morning.
"IF I Quit Smoking, I'd be Too Nervous, Smoking Help me Relax"
The truth here is that nicotine is actually a stimulant, not a depressant, it is not a substance that tend to make people relax. After the first few days of trying to quit, when ex-smokers may find themselves feeling nervous because they have nothing to do with their hands, most people find they have better self control and are actually find they have better self control and are actually less nervous than they were when they smoked.

HISTORY OF SMOKING
Smoking refers to the inhaling of smoke from the burning tobacco in a pipe, a cigar, or most commonly, a cigarette. Tobacco contains nicotine, a highly addicting drug. A number of diseases have been linked directly to smoking, and tobacco use kills 420, 000 smoker a year in united state, as well as 53, 000 non smokers a year, who die from diseases related to the passive inhalation of secondhand smoke.
History.
American Indians smoked pipes, and European explorers had carried the practice home by the early 1500s. By the late 1800s tobacco use was widespread, but people used only small amount. This change with the advent of the cigarette manufacturing machine, and in the 20th century, as people smoked more, parallel increases in the rates of lung cancer and hearth disease occurred.
In 1964 a committee headed by the
Health Effect.
Beside nicotine, cigarette smoke contains over 4,700 compounds, including carcinogens and industrial solvents, which cause heart disease, strokes, lung disease, and cancer.
Inhaling the hot, toxic fumes of tobacco smoke burns the linings of of air passages, impairing the respiratory system, which in turn, among other ill effects, reduces the smoker’s ability to fight of disease. The large particle in smoke form a corrosive tar that collects in the lungs, exposing the smoker to its dangerous constituent chemicals. A pregnant woman who smokes passes the toxic chemicals to her fetus low birth weight and spontaneous abortions have been linked to such behavior.
Chemical in burning tobacco (which include arsenic, cyanide, and carbon moxide) also pollute the air as secondhand smoke, which, according to a 1986 surgeon general’s report, is harmful in inhaled by nonsmokers. A1992 environmental Protection Agency report confirmed this and concluded that secondhand smoke annually causes 3,000 lung-cancer deaths in nonsmokers and up to 26,000 asthma cases in children. And in 1992 the American Heart Association reported that secondhand smoke kills about 37,000 people a year through heart disease.

TRADITIONAL WAY OF LIFE OF ESKIMO
The ability of the Eskimo to adapt successfully to a cold and harsh environment depended on a highly inventive material culture (Clothing sewn from skins, the toggle harpoon fashioned from ivory or antler and fitted with stone blades, the well known igloo, or snow house) and particular values and psychological traits. Broad cultural values stressed the importance and excitement of hunting. Courage and hardihood were emphasized in the training of young Eskimo, as was a strong sense of fatalism.
Settlement .
Settlement pattern varied according to the location, the time of year, subsistence opportunities. Permanent village of stone houses existed in Greenland and
In all Eskimo areas an annual cycle took place in which group spent the winter together in which a larger settlement and then dispersed into smaller, family-sized bands during the summer for seal hunting, for fishing, or for collecting birds, eggs, and plants.
The Igloo (From the Eskimo word meaning ‘home’) was constructed of packed snow and used only during of winter, when villages of these structures were built on the fiorm ocean ice to facilitate seal hunting. Igloo were also used as temporary structures in Greenland and in parts of

THE LAPPS
The nama Lapp, from Finnish lappalainen, is a foreign term as far as these people are concerned. They prefer to be called Samit, their own name for themselves. The Lappish language belongs to the Finno-Ugric subfamily of the Ural-altaic language. It is thus unrelated to neighboring Scandinavian and Slavic languages with the exception of Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, and certain lesser-known tongoues. Finnish is the closest of these to Lappish, but the two are not mutually intelligible. Lappish itself divides into three large language groups-east, central, and south Lapissh.
The origins of the Samit are still uncertain, but they may be the oldest postglacial inhabitants in the far North. Originally living as hunters, gatherers, and fishing people, some become pastoralist by the middle ages at the lates. They have been Christian since the 1600s.
Reindeer herding remains their most distinctive occupation. Reindeer herders today may frequently be seen in the traditional costume of colorful, decorated tunicand tasseled hat. Most Samit today, however, dress like other Europeans and live mostly in permanent houses and seasonal herding migrations. Many Samit live in fishing communities along artic coasts and inland waters. Others havelived for generations as settled farmers. Some work at mining or forestry.
Japan Original Tribe (Ainu)
The Ainu are an aboriginal people of the northern Pacific, who live principally on
Unlike other East Asian people, Ainu possess wavy brunette hair, light skinned complexions, and abundant body hair. They also lack the epicanthic fold of skin over the upper eyelids, a mongoloid racial characteristic. Their language is unrelated to any known Asian linguistic family.
The Ainu, a hunting and gathering people, formerly lived throughout the Japanese archipelago but were gradually pushed north to their present location by the invading Japanese. The men used the bow and arrow to hunt bear, deer, fox, otter, and other land animals during the winter.
In summer they fished the sea and rivers. The women gathered wild foods such as roots, berries, mushrooms, and nuts and also engaged in small-scale agriculture based on crop rotation.
Traditionally the Ainu traced their genealogical descent through both parents, and the family was the most important social and economic unit. The men were skilled woodcarvers ; women were experts in embroidering and weaving.
They had many songs, games, epic tales, and riddles, and their chief musical instruments were the drum and flute. Their highly animistic religious belief includes many gods of the mountains, land, sky, and sea. Most important the bear cult which each year culminated in an elaborate ritual sacrifice of a captive bear raised from a cub in the Ainu community.

Barbarian
Berbers speaks variations of a single language, berber, which belong to the Hamito-Semitic language family. They call themselves by some variant of the word amazigh, whish means ‘free man’, and have no sense of community or ethnic unity beyond their tribal affiliations, which notably include the Kabyle of Algeria, the Riffians and Shluh of Morocco, and the Tuareg of the Sahara.
Although their origin unknown, Berber-speaking peoples are thought to have moved into North Africa, probably from the near east, before 200 BC. From c. 600BC, Berber land was invanded by various group, including Carthaginians , Romans, Vandals, and Turks. With he Arab conquest of North Africa in the second half of the 7th century, the Berbers converted to Islam. For a while they fought alongside the Arabs and extended the frontiers of Islam into Spain, but later began to break away from orthodox Islam and Arab Hegemony. They chose a heresy known as Kharijsm, which is still practiced in part of Tunisia and Algeria.
Many feature of early pagan religion have also survived under the guise of orthodox Islam. Christianity disappeared among them in the 12th century, but Judaism, which made proselytes before Christianity, has survived to the present day.
Berbers speakers , who today number over 5 milion, are distributed through Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, and the western Sahara.

GAYA REMAJA 80-AN DAN IMPLIKASI KEHIDUPAN SOSIALNYA
Seragam sekolah dari jaman dahulu rupanya telah menjadi penanda sebuah era dengan tampilannya. Celana begy, seragam longgar, lengan longgar dilinting hingga kita bisa mengintip garis bra dari bawah ketiak siswi (tentu saja yang pakai bra ini siswi bukan siswa), dan sesekali dapat gambaran profile sedikit lengkap bila kita sedang beruntung.
Group band pop yang mendapat kehormatan menjadi trend center di 80-an, Duran-Duran.
Kalo diperhatikan, gaya Duran-duran ini menjadi lebih masuk akal dan diterima, dibanding bila kita mau njiplak Boy George atau Cindy louper, yang juga bersaing ketat di tangga lagu radio setiap minggu, bersama dengan Whan, Aha NKOTB.
Jadilah seragam SMAnya seperti ini: celana beggy dengan sepatu kanvas diinjek, dan poni serempet jebret- dan kuciran sisa potongan rambut pasti yang dimaksud adalah
Kalian percaya, bahwa untuk menjaga keajegan dadar gulung ini diperlukan intensitas menyisir yang sering. Seorang siswi AFS dari
Kehidupan pelajar dibagi atas beberapa golongan. Antara bergaya, bermerk, dan para kaum tak tergoyahkan oleh mode, kaum biasa. Sialnya keadaan ini menjadi alasan bagi legalitas aktivitas gencet-gencetan di antara senior dan junior. Percaya nggak,
Melihat fenomena ini sebenarnya ada bedanya ngga seeh dengan keadaan remaja kini dengan seragam sekolahnya itu?

FUTURISTIC STORIES
Flinstone Story.
Sampai saat ini aku merasa kehidupan Mr. Flinstone, tuan purba dengan fisi dan misi modern itu , begitu fantastic. Betapa tidak, film yang diproduksi Hanna Barbera itu memberi wawasan bagi kita mengenai kemustahilan- jaman purba menjadi keniscayaan dalam melakoni kehidupan yang serba mudah. Mulai dari rumah tangga sampai bola bowling dari batu pada club bowling, golf. Mobil dengan motor/roda berupa kaki pengemudinya, hewan peliharaan Dinosaurus. Dll. Serba detil.
Tutur Tinular CS.
Di Indonesia ada sinetron seri silat Tutur Tinular, Nenek lampir, dan mungkin banyak lagi. Cerita, seting, penggarapan, penggambaran yang tidak bisa dibandingkan dengan Flinstone, karena memang beda dunia.
Tapi hal yang kuingat, adalah adegan makan beralas daun pisang, bulat. Aku kira perlu dicatat, dimasa raja-raja, gunting masih merupakan hal yang sangat jarang ditemukan. Apalagi bila setingnya di pedesaan, bukan di
Futuristic Film,
Dalam fantastic four, diceritakan segala kejahatan dengan sains fiksi. Seting film kartunya juga sudah menggambarkan kejanggihan system yang ada. Selain Fantastic four, beberapa produser barat telah menghasilkan tema-tema futuristic, sains fiksi. Sayangnya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari masih kurang penggambaran inovasi alat-alat yang memudahkan aktivitas harian. Perhatikan saja film-film spiderman. Padahal kemajuan inovasi alat, secara histories, sejalan dengan kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan.
Bagaiomanapun, film-film fiksi/sains tersebut sudah merupakan terobosan dibidangnya, sekalipun hanya hayalan. Sayangnya Film film sejenis masih sangat jarang, atau belum ada produser yang mau meliriknya di Indonesi.
Yayayaya
tentu saja itu semua terkait dengan karya tulis fiksi sains yang sangat jarang di negeri ini.
selamat untuk novel Lanang, fiksi sains, yang sukses!
Kita tunggu cerita fiksi Sains yang lain dari penulis-penulis yang bukan hanya memiliki bakat (penulisan), tapi juga berwawasan sains, dan yang terpenting memiliki ide-kreatif-inovasi-gila di otaknya.
HIDUPKAN FANTASIMU!

Paul poiret created the first revolution in 20th - century dress about 1910, when he freed women from corsets and introduced oriental style costumes of turbans and hobble skirt.

Jeanne Lanvin's career began with her design for her daughter 's clothes, and this free and innocent effect, which was often created with costly brocades and lames, became her matier.

Communication Style
Two basic approaches have been used to define interpersonal communication. One approach includes all the ways in which people influence each other, even unintentionally. Anthropologist Edward T. Hall’s popular book The Silent Language (1959) described the ways in which such nonverbal communication as the physical proximity between two people communicated much about their cultural background or personal background or personal relationship. This approach defines communication by referring to the total environment of social behavior, not just specific acts or utterances.
Other scholars believes that communication should be limited to only those intentional interactions that occur by means of symbols. This view assumes that although the attempt to communicate with another may fail in the sense that speaker may not evoke the communication act. This orientation has produced research into persuasibility factors of arguments; and the role of selective perception, source credibility, and pressure to conform to group norms.
