Korban flu burung masih berjatuhan juga hingga saat ini. Kiranya ancaman maut virus H5N1 ini masih mengintai kita melalui banyak cara dan datang dari mana saja. Bukan hanya bangkai unggas yang patut kita cermati, akan tetapi segala sesuatu yang bersinggungan dengan unggas pun patut kita waspadai juga. Kali ini virus ganas tersebut mulai di tengarai menyebar dari pupuk tanaman.


Tengok saja berita dari Tempo Interaktif edisi 11 Desember 2007. Mutiah 28 tahun, diberitakan meninggal dunia di Rumah Sakit(RS) Persahabatan, Jakarta karena tertular virus H5N1(virus flu burung) yang diduga dari pupuk kandang/pupuk kompos. Dugaan ini berdasar pada pemeriksaan unggas di sekitar tempat tinggal korban hasilnya negatif. Dan dugaan tersebut semakin menguat karena warga Cikokol Tangerang tersebut berprofesi sebagai penjual tanaman, yang setiap harinya bersentuhan dengan pupuk kandang/pupuk kompos sebagai media merawat dan menanam tanaman.

Berita ini selain memprihatinkan juga menuntut perhatian dari pemerintah maupun kita semua, agar tidak sesekali mengendorkan kewaspadan dari ancaman virus flu burung(H5N1) yang senantiasa mengintai kita. Terlebih lagi perhatian dan ketertarikan masyarakat banyak saat ini sedang tersedot ke tanaman hias, seiring dengan lagi booming-nya tanaman aglonema, adenium maupun fenomena dari anthurium . Yang tentu saja hal tersebut tidak bisa lepas dari segala aktifitas yang berkaitan dengan pupuk kandang ataupun kompos....




This year’s scientific report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has made clear beyond doubt that climate change is a reality and can seriously harm the future development of our economies, societies and eco-systems worldwide. Immediate action is needed to be able to prevent the most severe impacts. Since climate change is a global issue, tackling climate change and its impacts can only be successfully coordinated at the international level.

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) presents the appropriate forum to do this. It has been expanded by the Kyoto Protocol which includes emission reduction commitments for developed countries over the period 2008-2012.

A new international climate change deal must be put in place in time to ensure that necessary action is undertaken immediately after 2012 when the current phase of the Kyoto Protocol ends. Therefore, comprehensive negotiations on a new climate deal need to begin without further delay. At the Bali Conference, Parties are expected to agree to the launch of this process.

"There is a great deal of public awareness of the significance of the Bali conferences. There is a public demand for concrete and bold accents. Thus we are looking forward to their principal outcome: a bold, global decision addressing climate change without significantly jeopardizing development efforts. That is what makes the Bali climate conference so crucial to the future of humankind" said Mr Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono President of Indonesia.

Buah merah, buah yang bernama Latin "Pandanus conoideus Lam" tumbuh di dataran tinggi 1000 - 3000 meter dpl ini banyak ditemukan di hutan-hutan di seluruh Papua . Terutama yang terbanyak ditemukan di pegunungan Jayawijaya.
Bentuk buahnya yang seperti nangka cempedak dengan panjang mencapai 1.5 meter, tadinya banyak di biarkan terlantar dan banyak dipakai oleh suku-suku di pedalaman Papua sebagai teman makan umbi-umbian, bahkan juga sebagai pakan ternak.

Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir ini buah merah menjadi sangat terkenal, tidak saja di kalangan masyarakat Papua, tapi juga masyarakat seuruh penjuru tanah air. Fenomena ini terkait dengan hasil penelitian yang menemukan bahwa buah merah mengandung anti oksidan yang bersifat anti kanker dan tokoferol atau vitamin E.

Buah ini sontak menjadi fenomena baru di dunia pengobatan alternative dalam beberapa tahun terakhir ini, karena khasiatnya yang sanggup menyembuhkan berbagai penyakit. Bahkan buah ini juga dipercaya mampu menyembuhkan HIV/AIDS. Dan tetu saja hal tersebut menjadi kabar yang menggembirakan bagi masyarakat.

Namun kepercayaan berlebih tanpa batas tentang khasiat buah merah ini juga dapat mengundang celaka. Terutama mengenai klaim bahwa buah merah dapat menyembuhkan AIDS.

Menurut ahli gizi senior dan pelatih WHO untuk perawatan, dukungan, dan pengobatan AIDS Dr Paul F Matulessy, MN.PGK.DspGK, adalah salah jika buah merah disebut bisa menyembuhkan AIDS. " Itu adalah Kesimpulan yang keliru" tegasnya dalam suatu diskusi bulanan mengenai asupan gizi bagi ODHA di Jakarta.

Bahkan beliau menuturkan kisah tragis orang dengan HIV/AIDS(ODHA) yang begitu mempercayai khasiat buah mearh tersebut, sampai-sampai ia memutuskan berhenti untuk menggunakan obat Antiretroviral(ARV) ynag berfungsi sebagai pencegah penggandaan sel HIV. Akibatnya dalam hitungan bulan kondisi ODHA tersebut semakin memburuk dan kemudian meninggal dunia.

Menurut Dr Paul, buah merah semestinya harus dipandang sebagai pelengkap ARV, karena buah merah mampu membantu limphosit meningkatkan jumlah sel kekebalan tubuh(CD4). "Namun buah merah tak bisa membunuh AIDS" tegas beliau.

Selain tetap mengkonsumsi ARV, yang paling penting dan utama bagi ODHA adalah menjaga asupan gizi. Dengan menjaga asupan gizi yang baik, sistem kekebalan tubuh atau CD4 dari ODHA akan bertambah, sehingga kualitas hidup mereka juga jadi lebih baik. Dengan kata lain, kombinasi ARV dan pemberian gizi yang baik akan memperlambat tahapan HIV ke stadium AIDS.

The climate of the Earth is always changing. In the past it has altered as a result of natural causes. Nowadays, however, the term climate change is generally used when referring to changes in our climate which have been identified since the early part of the 1900's. The changes we've seen over recent years and those which are predicted over the next 80 years are thought to be mainly as a result of human behaviour rather than due to natural changes in the atmosphere.

The greenhouse effect is very important when we talk about climate change as it relates to the gases which keep the Earth warm. It is the extra greenhouse gases which humans have released which are thought to pose the strongest threat.

The greenhouse effect is at the center of the climate change debate. Therefore, its important to understand how its affects our planet.
The sun heats up the earth by sending solar rays towards us. Some of these rays don't get through our atmosphere. Those that do, warm up the Earth.

When the Earth warms up it radiates its own rays of heat - infrared rays. Those which don't escape past the atmosphere, are absorbed by greenhouse gases. These green houses gases warm the Earth so it is at the temperature we experience now. Without this process the Earth would be some 30 C cooler and life on our planet would be very different.

However, we are producing too many greenhouse gases, which mean they are absorbing more heat and warming the Earth too much - this is called "global warming".
One of main greenhouse gases is Carbon Dioxide which can be created from the chopping down and burning of trees.

The fossil-fuel used in cars, power-plants and machinery also creates Carbon Dioxide. Therefore, if we reduce the use of fuel and reduce deforestation, the amount of greenhouse gas around the Earth should also be reduce.

Scientists say it is already too late to prevent global warming and therefore climate change. But by reducing greenhouse gases we could still limit the impact. Even a change in temperature of under 1 C is enough to cause changes in rainfall and sea level rises.

PageRank is a formula that assigns a value to every page in the Google index. Google displays search results based on an algorithm which includes the value of PageRank. So the higher your site's PageRank, the more likely it is that you will receive a top listing on the search result page when someone types in the keywords for your site.

It's very simple to see anyone's PageRank. Just download and install the Google toolbar. It's a very quick and easy install. Just be sure to choose the Advanced option during the install so the PageRank of each site you visit will be displayed on the toolbar.

The formula appears so complex you would probably have to be a mathematician to even have a chance to decipher it anyway. It looks something like this:

PR(A) = (1-d) + d(PR(t1)/C(t1) + ... + PR(tn)/C(tn))

Basically PageRank formula works like this. The more links that point to your website the higher your PageRank will be. The higher the PageRank of the referring page that has your link on it, the more PageRank you receive from Google. For every outgoing link that a page has, the value of those links drop. So for example, a link from a page with a PageRank of 4, and only 3 other links, is worth more than a page with a PageRank of 5 and 100 links. It is also believed that Google assigns more value to a link that comes from a site with similar content. So as you can see, there are many variables when calculating PageRank.

PageRank can be increased by the number of incoming links to your website from other sites on the Internet. In addition, it requires anywhere from five to seven times more to get from one level of PageRank to the next.

So for example, (and this is not a true formula) if 100 PageRank 3 sites with a link to your page give you a PageRank of 4, then it would take around 500 more PageRank 3 sites to link to you before you became PageRank 5. However if you had 1 link from a PageRank 8 site, that might be enough to give a higher PageRank all by its self. It's really all relative and trying to figure it out will simply drive you mad, so don't bother. :) The best thing you can do is obtain as many quality incoming links from other sites with similar content as you possibly can.

Another important factor is the number of pages on your site. The more pages on your site, the higher potential you have to gain in PageRank. More pages doesn't mean you will get a higher PageRank only that you won't hit a ceiling. Apparently Google has a cut off point somewhere on the highest PageRank it will give to sites with a low number of pages.

According to the Google website, they update the index about once a month. However if you spend any amount of time reading search engine forums, you will find that results vary for every webmaster. PageRank may not update or may change drastically for a long period of time which is often times unexplainable. Usually as long as you follow good web site optimization techniques and maintain enough quality incoming links, the index will eventually assign your website PageRank and adjust any changes which may have been made in error.
