become a new lifestyle for people in modern city since 21 st century. Even though there are still
many people who prefer buying their daily needs in a market to shopping online, for certain
people, it has more advantages than its drawbacks.

Adam Smith was a great philosopher and economist of the 18 th century. He was born in
1723 at Kirkcaldy in Scotland. His father was also called Adam Smith and he worked as a
secretary but he died 5 months before his son was born.
Adam Smith Junior was brought up by his mother Margaret Smith. When he was 14, he
went to Glasgow College. Adam was particularly interested in Mathematics. In 1740 he went to
Oxford and he spent 6 years there. In 1746 Adam Smith returned to Kirkcaldy. Then in 1748 he
began giving lectures at Edinburgh University. Finally, in 1752 Smith also became a professor of
philosophy.
In 1759 Adam Smith published the first of his two great books, The Theory of Moral
Sentiments. In 1776 Adam Smith produced his second great book, An Inquiry into the Nature
and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. In it, Smith argued strongly for free trade between
nations. Adam Smith said that the market may appear chaotic but is actually guided by invisible
hand. Smith also argued that division of labor increases production.
In 1778 he was given a post as a commissioner of customs in Edinburgh until he died on
July 17 1790. He was buried in Canon gate churchyard on July 22nd 1790.

Lately, concerns have arisen that Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and its
immediate surroundings are threatened to experience a clean water crisis by 2025. Clean
water, which is produced by two private operators -PAM Lyonnaise Jaya (Palyja) and Astra Air
Jakarta- currently total 18.7 m3 per second. However, by 2025, demand for clean water will
reach 41.3 m3/second as the population of Jakarta is estimated to grow to 14.6 million people
from 9.6 million currently (the unofficial figure is possibly much higher).
It has been reported that city-owned property developer Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro)
and city-owned developer Pembangunan Jaya will acquire a combined 100 percent stake in
Palyja. If the Jakarta administration has a direct stake in the city water operators, it will
increase public supervision on the local clean water industry.
PAM Lyonnaise Jaya, which manages the clean water supply in the west side of Jakarta,
is a private water operator that is partly controlled by Astra International through its subsidiary
Astratel Nusantara. Palyja has been active in Jakarta for about 16 years. However, last year a
lawsuit was filed demanding that the court will annul the agreement between city water
operators PAM Jaya and Palyja and Aetra Air Jakarta (Aetra) claiming that public access to
affordable clean water has been hindered.
Based on the information of the World Bank, Indonesia plans to achieve universal clean
water access by 2019 but almost half of the populations still do not have access to clean water
at present.

As we know there is so much water in the world. There many kinds of water that we
can consume every day all the time.
Consuming water can be made as a therapy for disease, because water that we
consume with enough amount and the right method can purify our body from poisons. The
therapy of water can save water availability in the body.
Therapy of water can keep the beauty too. Skin is the outer part of the body that has
contact with dirty air, sunlight, and pollutions. To keep the skin elasticity, enough water is
needed. Water can moisturize our skin so that it will not easily dry or get crinkled.
To maintain a healthy body weight, water is needed. In fact, water can increase the
metabolism and lower the appetite. Consuming a lot of water can filter many calories.
So, let’s consume water every day at least eight glasses to keep our health and beauty.

The implementation of the new graduation standard for high school students has
evoked people to bring different responses. Some people’s ideas are for some others against
the rule.
Some people agree with the rule because it indicates the students’ mastery of the
whole material or the competence they have managed to have over the past three years. The
result of the final exam is also significant for students’ future study in higher level. In addition,
we are far left behind by our neighboring countries that have implemented a higher education
grade standard. If the standard is omitted, then students will get left behind even further by
those students from neighboring countries.
However, some other people believe that imposing a high standard will not be
effective. The results of the exams have proven to be unreliable. How can you asses the
students’ competence only in a couple of days? A smart student, for example, may get a low
grade just because he is sick during the exam. On the other hand, an idle student may achieve
the standard due to luck. There should then be an alternative way to the national examination.
Despite the difference points of view, the government’s relating party is intensely
working on this matter in the hope of getting a better solution to improve the high school
graduates’ quality.

Rasuna Said (Maninjau, West Sumatra, 14 September 1910-Jakarta, 2 November 1965)
was an Indonesia Independence fighter and National Heroine. Just like Kartini, she also fought
for emancipation, the same right between men and women.
She was known for her sharp critics toward the Dutch in her essays. In 1935, she
became the chief editor of a radical magazine, Raya. This magazine was known as the fighting
stake in West Sumatra. The Dutch secret police restricted her movements, so she moved to
Medan, North Sumatra.
In Medan, she founded a woman’s school. To spread her thoughts, she founded a
weekly magazine called Menara Peoteri. This magazine often talked about woman, but the
main target was to insert anti-colonialism movements among woman.
After Indonesia’s Independence, she was active in Indonesian Information Committee
and Indonesian National Committee. She was appointed as a member of National Assembly to
represent West Sumatra. She was appointed as a member of Dewan Pertimbangan Agung
(Supreme Advisory Council) from 5 July 1959 until her death, 2 November 1965.

The Great Barrier Reef is one the seven wonders of the natural word. It is larger than
Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space.
The marine park stretches over 3000 Km (1800 miles) almost parallel to the Queensland
coast, from near the southern coastal town of Bundaberg, up past to the northern tip of Cape
York.
The reef is between 15 kilometers and 150 kilometers offshore and around 65
kilometers wide in some parts. It is a gathering of brilliant, vivid coral providing divers with the
most spectacular underwater experience.
A closer encounter with the Great Barrier Reef’s impressive coral gardens reveals many
astounding underwater attractions including the world’s largest collection of corals (there are
more than 400 different kinds of coral), coral sponges, molluscs, rays, dolphins, over 1500
species of tropical fish, more than 200 types of birds, around 20 types of reptiles including sea
turtles and giant calms over 120 years old.
The reef is a breeding area for humpback whales, migrating from the Antarctic and is
also the habitat of a few endangered species including the Dugong (Sea Cow) and large Green
Sea Turtle. In recognition of its significance, UNESCO listed the Great Barrier Reef as a World
Heritage Site in 1981.
Because of its natural beauty, both below and above the water’s surface, the reef has
become one of the world’s most sought after tourist destinations.
In 2006 there were approximately 820 operators and 1500 vessels and aircraft
permitted to operate in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park providing ease of access for all to
experience the Great Barrier Reef and learn firsthand about its natural delights and World
Heritage values.
