Jakarta Post ( JP ): The House of Representatives is set to hold a plenary meeting

In the plenary session scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, the House is expected

William Henry Gates was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. As the
principal founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates is one of the most influential and richest people on
the planet. Recent estimates of his wealth put it at $56 billion, this is the equivalent of the
combined GDP of several African economies. In recent years he has retired from working
full time at Microsoft, and has instead has concentrated on working with his charitable
foundation “The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation”
Bill Gates founded Microsoft in 1976 when he formed a contract with MITTS (Micro
Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems) to develop a basic operating system for their new
microcomputers. In the early days Bill Gates would review every line of code. He was also
involved in several aspects of Microsoft’s business such as packing and sending off orders.
Bill Gates is married to Melinda French (married in 1992). They have three children
Jennifer (1996), Rory (1999) and Phoebe (2002). With his wife Bill Gates formed the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation. Bill Gates says much of the inspiration came from the example of
David Rockefeller. Like Rockefeller, Gates has sought to focus on global issues ignored by
the government; he also expressed an interest in improving the standards of public school
education in the US. He has appeared with Oprah Winfrey to promote this objective. In
respect to charitable, philanthropic activities Gates has also received encouragement from
investor Warren Buffet, who has given away $17 billion, through the Gates Foundation.
From 2008 Gates has worked full time on his philanthropic interests. It is estimated
Gates and his wife Melinda have given away $28 billion via their charitable foundation –
including $8 billion to improve global health.
Gates has said that he has no use for money, and will only leave a small percentage of
his wealth to his children. In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Gates states:
“I’m certainly well taken care of in terms of food and clothes,” he says, redundantly.
“Money has no utility to me beyond a certain point. Its utility is entirely in building an
organization and getting the resources out to the poorest in the world.”
His main areas of interest in philanthropy have been improving health, and in
particularly helping to reduce diseases, such as polio which affect young children. He has
also given more focus to environmental issues. In 2015, he gave $1 billion to a clean energy
project, as he sees supporting new ‘greener’ technologies as a way to help deal with global
warming.

CHAMELEON
Chameleon, common name for certain lizards that are well known for their ability to
change colors. The chameleon changes color when it is frightened and in response to light,
temperature, and other environmental changes. The color change is caused by hormones that
affect special pigment-bearing cells in the skin. Its color does not always change to match its
surroundings, however, as is commonly believed.
The chameleon has a remarkably long, sticky tongue, which darts into the air to catch
insects. Its body is unusually shaped, and most chameleons are specially adapted to living in
trees. The lizard's long, thin legs raise it from the ground, and its toes are divided into
opposable sets of two and three digits that enable it to grasp branches rather than cling to
them as with claws. The strong, curled tail is also adapted to grasping. Many chameleons
have large domed, or casqued, heads, and males may have as many as three horns, sometimes
used for combat. One striking three-horned species is Jackson's chameleon of Africa. The
chameleon has a short neck that is of limited mobility; however, the eyes are big and can
move independently of each other in many directions. The chameleon has no external
eardrum, or tympanic membrane. Chameleons range in size from just a few centimeters to as
large as 63 cm (25 in).
Chameleons have the most distinctive eyes of any reptile. The upper and lower
eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can
rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously, which lets their
eyes move independently from each other. This gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision
around their body. When prey is located, both eyes can be focused in the same direction,
giving sharp stereoscopic vision and depth perception. Chameleons have very good eyesight
for reptiles, letting them see small insects from a long (5–10 m) distance.
Like snakes, chameleons do not have an outer or a middle ear, so there is neither an
ear opening nor an eardrum. However, chameleons are not deaf: they can detect sound
frequencies in the range 200–600 Hz.
More than 100 species of true chameleons exist. They are found in Africa,
Madagascar, Spain, southern Europe, Arabia, India, Sri Lanka, and the Seychelles Islands.
Several color-changing lizards in the United States, commonly called anoles, are also
popularly called chameleons.

Ultraviolet light means the invisible part of the spectrum beyond violet. This light has
always been regarded as very useful because it is used to cure certain skin diseases, kill
bacteria, detect counterfeit money, form vitamins, etc. Along with the increasingly extensive
use of computers in financial activities, ultraviolet light has been widely applied by banks to
identify the signatures of the customers in passbooks. When a customer opens "a new account
with a bank, the bank teller always asks him to sign on a card placed in the signature column
of a passbook. When the card is removed, the trace of his signature will be left; this can be
used to compare with the signature on the customer's with drawl slip under ultraviolet light.
Ultraviolet light certainly has many practical applications, but it may also be harmful to
human being on some occasions. To everyone's knowledge, the direct impact of the lighten
the eyes for an excessive length of time may blind a person. Even though it can cure certain
skin diseases, it is also very harmful to the skin; a study just completed in the United States
says that the light may cause skin cancer. The ultraviolet rays of the sun have been ranked as

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the environment that cause harm or
discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or that damage the environment. The
humanity had known pollution, to some extent or another, at least since the times the fire had
been invented. But it was only with the onset of the industrial revolution in the 19th century
that people realized the seriousness of the pollution problem and its often devastating effects.
In the last 200 years or so there appeared several fundamental trends which became the major
forces behind the surge in levels of air, water & land pollution throughout the globe.
Industrialization is the first fundamental cause of pollution. Among other things,
industrialization set in motion the widespread use of fossil fuels (oil, gas & coal) which are
now the main sources of pollution.
Population growth is the second fundamental pollution cause. With population
numbers literally exploding around the world, the demand for food and other goods goes up.
This demand is met by expanded production and use of natural resources, which in turn leads
to higher levels of pollution.
Globalization is another major cause of pollution. Globalization has become an
effective facilitator of environmental degradation. Developing countries usually have much
looser laws on environmental protection. With this “benefit” as well as the population
growth and easy availability of cheap labor, big industry prefers to move its facilities to
such “pollution havens” rather than work in more regulated markets.
So we won’t be wrong if we consider industrialization, population growth and
globalization the fundamental drivers of pollution, the very roots of the gigantic pollution
tree.

Go-Jek made headlines in national mass media at the end 2015. Despite its rising
popularity, Iganius Jonan, the Transportation Minister banned its operation which lasted only
for one day as it got strong opposition from the operators and society.
The operators of Go-Jek really reap an advantage of the application invented by a
young IT developer. Motorcycle taxi drivers who joined this operator could earn more money
as they got more and more customers through the use of simple application. They are also
more secured as the customers become selected ones and can always be traced.
The customers of Go-Jek also feel safe when they use the service. The drivers are not
strangers as their identities are monitored. It is also easier for them to call for a service.
Moreover Go-Jek is considered as cheaper for them.
However, Ignasius Jonan could not be blamed for the ban of Go-Jek operation. The
governmnet realized that in the lack of public transport service, Go-Jek helps provide it for
the public. His decision was based on legal basis. Motorcycle is not considered as a means of
transportation which is allowed to serve public gtransportation. He banned Go-Jek because as
the representative of the government, he had to consider the legal basis for the operation. In
case of the accident, the customer can not covered by any insurence, as no insurance can be
claimed by illegal public transport operation.
President Jokowi, who received a lot of complaint then suspended the ban. He let the
operation of Go-Jek continue while the governent was trying hard to improve the public
transportation service for the society.
