Life, Laugh, Love!
I am loving life and all the opportunities that I have been able to take advantage of. I love hanging out, having fun, laughing and enjoying the company of those I am around.I love helping others and don't mind going out of my way for someone if I can. Family is a huge part of my life! I am beyond thankful for my parents and other family members who have invested their lives into me and helped to mold me into the person I am today. I am the oldest of two and am super close with my younger brother. My friends are the greatest. I don't consider myself to have a lot of friends, but the ones I do are priceless! I wish we could hang out more than we do, but I know if I need someone to talk to, a shoulder to cry on or just someone to pray for me, I can call on them at any time and they do the same for me. My degree is in athletic training. I have worked at the high school level and loved it! Im currently working for a medical device company. Its much different than my prior position but Im still able to use my degree and help others. Each day brings its own challenges and great stories. It keeps life interesting and there is always something to laugh at. I love the saying "Live, Laugh, Love". I think it simply sums up how I feel about life and brings a smile to my face just saying it!

Stewart-Knox, Barbara J., Hamilton, J, Parr, H and Bunting, B (2005) Dietary strategies and uptake of reduced fat foods. JOURNAL OF HUMAN NUTRITION AND DIETETICS, 18 (2). pp. 121-128. [Journal article]
Full text not available from this repository.
Aim This research has sought to identify factors determining consumer uptake and rejection of reduced fat foods. Initial qualitative research implied that use of reduced fat products could be dependent upon which dietary health strategies people adopt. This analysis therefore explores the degree to which various dietary strategies predict uptake of reduced fat products. Method Items were derived from prior qualitative findings and responses to relevant issues surveyed by interview (n = 1004) within selected retail outlets throughout Northern Ireland and England. Results Logistic regression analysis indicated that concern over health, drive to reduce calorie consumption, to increase intake of fish and poultry and fruit and vegetables consistently predicted consumption across a range of reduced fat products. These dietary strategies appeared to predict uptake of reduced fat foods to a greater degree than perceived taste or price. Conclusion The findings imply that for reduced fat foods to achieve universal acceptance promotional messages need to be translated into commonly adopted dietary health strategies.

Nyl-Glo Delaware Flag-Assorted Sizes
The 1777 coat of arms on the Delaware Flag consists of a soldier and a farmer supporting a shield with a wheatsheaf, an ear of corn and an ox representing Delaware's agricultural foundation. A ship in full sail symbolizes Delaware's status as a maritime state; the blue and bluff correspond to the colors of the Revolutionary War uniform. The diamond was added after the Flag was adopted in July 1913. The date on the bottom of the blue field symbolizes that Delaware was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

This paper presents the first biocompatible, all-mechanical, micromachined pressure sensor with a high-aspect-ratio spiral-tube structure fabricated through a one-layer parylene process. This passive sensor has zero power consumption and indicates the pressure variation by changes of in situ in-plane spiral rotation, which can be gauged externally by a direct and convenient optical observation. A 1 mm-radius device with a 10-turn spiral has demonstrated a 0.22 degree/mmHg sensitivity in liquid. This device is designed for eye implantation and the intraocular spiral rotation can be recorded from outside of the eye. Such a sensing technology is proposed to monitor the intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients.

Cytomax® with Sustained Energy
No other sports drink can match Cytomax's proven performance. University studies* have proven that Cytomax:
These results are possible due to the inclusion of a unique, exclusive, energy component: Alpha-L-Polylactate™ (lactate with acid removed, clustered around amino acids and carbohydrates). This proprietary lactate is efficiently used as a fuel faster than other carbohydrates and provides energy as well. In addition, it enters the blood stream and tissues faster than a single carbohydrate source, and is utilized more efficiently - all while decreasing tissue acidity.
Alpha-L-Polylactate - when combined with our multiple carbohydrate blend - gives you sustained energy. In University studies, athletes had better performance after three hours of intense exercise with Cytomax than with another leading sports drink.
In addition, Cytomax contains electrolytes - including sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium for optimal hydration. Cytomax does not contain artificial FD&C colors or artificial sweetener.
Dynamic, New & Informative Label. Same Great Cytomax.
Since we founded CytoSport™ in 1998, we've been dedicated to working with sports scientists, coaches and trainers to redefine protein enhanced products for active lifestyles and serious athletes - supporting performance when it matters.
Over the years, we've expanded to create a comprehensive line that encompasses the athletic experience from preparation, to hydration, to recovery. Our products are among the very few that are manufactured in a NSF International GMP for Sport™ Registered facility. Our facilities are also inspected and regulated by the FDA. We carefully manufacture our powder products and ready-to-drink pre-blends onsite at our corporate campus in Benicia, California.
Making efficacious products for athletes and active lifestyle individuals requires responsibility on all fronts. As our business has grown, so has our footprint. We have made environmental sustainability a focus and driver in everyday decision making.
Through it all, CytoSport has been committed to one thing, building athletes from the inside out.
~Greg & Mike Pickett, Father/Son
Our products are manufactured in compliance with NSF International's GMP for Sport™ Registration, including semi-annual audits, verifying that no NSF 306-Cerificaiton Guideline Annex A List banned substances exist in our facility.

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have been used as standardized candles to discover the acceleration of the universe, and they currently provide the most direct evidence for the existence of an unknown ``dark energy'' driving this expansion. The 5-year Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) is currently on track to deliver 700 spectroscopically-confirmed SNe Ia with well-sampled light curves by 2008, making it the most successful high-redshift supernova study in history. The SNLS uses a rolling search to discover and build well-sampled light curves for SNe, with follow-up spectroscopy done using Gemini, the VLT, Keck, and Magellan.
After only 2 years of operation, the SNLS has
spectroscopically confirmed more than 200 SNe Ia at
redshifts between 0.2 If you would like more information about this abstract, please

Rahul 'needs to back up vows with action'
Publication Date : 22-01-2013
The Congress party's new second-in-command, Rahul Gandhi, set out an ambitious agenda to overhaul India's grand old party in his maiden speech on Sunday.
Declaring that the party "is now my life", he said it needed to change, such as by decentralising power, grooming leaders and creating a culture in which party members either "perform or make way for others". At least two senior party leaders called the speech Congress' "Obama moment", referring to United States President Barack Obama and his "Yes we can" speech.
Experts, however, say what Gandhi needed to do next is back up his words with action.
"These are not easy issues," said Uttar Pradesh-based political analyst Sudhir Panwar, referring to what Gandhi said he would do. "His main challenge, of course, is to win an election."
Nine states, including Delhi, are scheduled to hold elections over the next 12 months, ahead of next year's general election.
The 127-year-old Congress is going through a particularly rough period. It fared poorly in recent state elections, which Congress president Sonia Gandhi blamed on infighting and indiscipline.
The image of the Congress, which heads a coalition government, has also taken a beating following a series of corruption scandals last year.
Its leaders were also surprised at the extent of young Indians' deep-seated anger at those in power, including Gandhi, following the gang-rape of a 23-year-old student early last month.
In his speech, Gandhi dwelt on the disconnect between ordinary people, particularly those who are young or poor, and the political class.
"Why are our youth angry? Why are they out on the streets? They are angry because they are alienated," he said. "Why are the poor confined to powerlessness and poverty? Because the decision over their lives... is decided by people far away, answerable to them only in theory," he added.
"We have to relook things in the system and we have to transform them completely," he said, though he stressed that change would take time.
Critics say Gandhi has yet to prove his mettle in politics or articulate his position on important economic and political issues, but his supporters point out that he has brought younger politicians into the mainstream.
Questions are also being asked if the 42-year- old scion can revive the fortunes of the Congress and reach out to young voters. More than half of India's 1.2 billion people are under the age of 35.
"There was this yearning among the youth for him to take over. But that is not the case now. He is identified with this government," said Delhi-based political analyst G.V.L. Narsimha Rao.
The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), struggling with leadership issues like the Congress, took a jab at Gandhi's political anointment.
"The world's largest democracy cannot be entrusted to those whose actual potential we do not know, whose opinions on various subjects we do not know," said BJP leader Arun Jaitley.

L-Theanine is an amino acid commonly found in green tea. As a dietary supplement' it has been linked to healthy mental function. In Asia' green tea has been used for centuries as a drink that can help relax the mind and the body. Studies into the long term benefits of green tea have suggested it can promote cardiovascular health. It is also thought to help relieve stress and tension.
Stress is at almost epidemic levels in the world today' with many physician visits attributed to stress-related conditions. It's often labeled the "silent killer'" because stress can build up overtime. The causes of your stress may be related to work' family' personal relationships' or other factors; whatever the cause' it can have a toll on your health and finances. It's important to look out for the symptoms of stress' which include trouble sleeping' headaches' and muscle tensing.
A major Japanese study looked into the effects of green tea on those suffering from psychological stress. The results suggested that the psychological wellbeing of those who consumed sufficient amounts of green tea was significantly improved; the people in the study who drank five cups every day were shown to be less stressed than those who drank less than one cup of green tea daily.
Similar studies suggest that those who take L-Theanine in supplement form may feel stress relief' beginning around 30 minutes after taking it. Douglas Labs' L-Theanine is a vegetarian supplement that provides this essential amino acid in a convenient capsule.

text: December 05, 2014 Introduction to the Third Edition Tagged: Prelim Welcome to the Third Edition of the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, which we are publishing online in collaboration with Gollancz and the SF Gateway. This new version climaxes thirty-five years of work (with breaks) for the senior editors, and is much expanded from previous editions of the Encyclopedia: from the 1979 First Edition, with Peter Nicholls, who had conceived the project in 1975, serving as General Editor; and the 1993 Second Edition, edited by John Clute and Peter Nicholls, which itself took on various forms over the years. Two of its reprintings (in 1995 and augmented in 1999) featured an appendix listing corrections and addenda; and a separate CD-ROM version, which added over 65,000 words to the original text (see Introduction to the CD-ROM Edition), also appeared in 1995. The Third Edition takes as its starting point the text of the 1995 CD-ROM edition. The laborious effort of transforming that version into usable form – a task including though not limited to restoration of lost material, repair of missing and broken links, reinstatement of accents stripped from characters (for example, "é" was reduced to "e" throughout), and insertion of corrections published elsewhere – was chiefly carried out by David Langford, and further refined by Clare Coney. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction is and always will be a work in progress, a situation more clearly evident in the present era of regular online updates than when the book editions' snapshots of the sf field necessarily remained static for many years. Owing to the sheer amount of new material published since 1995, and also to the ambitious scale of our improvements to the coverage, we did not expect to complete our essential updating of the Third Edition before the end of 2012. As a marker of progress up to the point when this site went live, we had by the beginning of October 2011 expanded the 1,378,000 words contained in the CD-ROM to over 3,200,000 words and the entry count from 6731 to 12,230; while the 43,000 internal links of 1995 had grown to some 113,500 internal hyperlinks. But much remains to be done, and always will. Although virtually all existing author entries have now been updated and most high-priority new authors inserted, there are many further authors in need of entries and new ones emerging daily; while updates in several other areas including country ("International") entries, critics, editors, films and publishers are likewise ongoing, contingent on time and the availability of expert contributors. Work continues, with regular scheduled updates of this website as a whole; our contract specifies at least monthly updating, and in practice this is done twice a week if not more frequently. The hyperlinks continue to grow in number and usefulness. Expressed hopes of reaching 4,000,000 words of text by the end of 2012 were not quite realized, but we passed this threshold in January 2013. We are pleased and grateful that despite its being a work in progress, this third edition of the encyclopedia won the 2012 British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Nonfiction, the 2012 European SF Society award as Best Promoter (of the sf genre) and the 2012 Hugo for Best Related Work. The chief editors for this third edition are John Clute, once again the most prolific contributor, who has written many new author entries and updated existing ones, introducing substantial new features like the end-of-entry Checklists, which now register well over 54,000 individual titles (see Editorial Practices: Checklists); and David Langford, who besides extensive technical work has added or updated a variety of entries in various categories, principally themes, terminology and Awards. Editor Emeritus Peter Nicholls wrote or revised some entries in the current edition, and exercised some quality control via editorial advice on a number of other entries, but on a very much smaller scale than previously. Graham Sleight (Managing Editor) has liaised with Gollancz and the website designers STEEL of London, as well as dealing with our finances, making many corrections and additions and writing several entries. Contributing Editors are as follows. Mike Ashley has greatly expanded and updated the coverage of Magazines, and undertaken considerable research to amplify author birth and death data. Jonathan Clements has written large numbers of new and updated entries for China, Japan and related authors and artists, plus selected Far Eastern Cinema and Manga productions. John-Henri Holmberg has added and updated a number of Scandinavian entries, especially Swedish and Norwegian authors and the country entry for Sweden. Nick Lowe has added and updated a considerable number of Cinema entries. Abigail Nussbaum has added and updated a number Television entries. John Platt has added and updated a number of Comics entries. Adam Roberts has introduced an entirely new complex of SF Music entries. Neal Tringham has introduced an entirely new and very extensive complex of Games entries. Gary Westfahl has expanded and updated the artist/illustrator entries, following preliminary work in this area by John Grant. The Contributing Editors, especially Mike Ashley, have also supplied many suggestions and corrections outside their own official spheres. Clare Coney (Technical Editor) has performed a thorough job of proofreading and copyediting much of the text, despite the extreme difficulty of doing so while Clute, Langford and many others were constantly incorporating new material throughout. Roger Robinson (Research Editor) continues to provide bibliographic support and to maintain the data resource highly useful for work on most entries, and essential for author Checklists. Rachel Haywood-Ferreira (Latin America/Iberia Subeditor) coordinates contributors of Latin American, Portuguese and Spanish entries. Farah Mendlesohn (Academic Subeditor) supervises work on critics' entries. Further contributors of information, entries, partial entries and/or other much-valued support are detailed under Contributors. Providers of other much-valued assistance appear under Acknowledgments. Our thanks to all. As a register of our progress towards the unattainable state of actual completion, graphic comparisons of word and entry counts – between the 1979 and 1993 print versions, the 1995 CD-ROM of the Second Edition, and the current state of the Third Edition – are irregularly updated on the Encyclopedia editors' home page [see links below]. See also the Statistics page. In May 2013 we introduced a visual extension of the Encyclopedia in the form of the Picture Gallery [again see links below], which in its first year of existence accumulated more than 10,000 cover images of books referenced in Encyclopedia Checklists.. Comments, corrections and suggestions may be emailed to the editors using the email contact link below. John Clute, David Langford, Peter Nicholls and Graham Sleight October 2011-December 2014 about this encyclopedia These introductory or preliminary entries ("prelims" in publishing jargon) are equivalent to the front matter in a book, and indeed much of the material comes from the corresponding sections of the previous book editions and the 1995 CD-ROM.

Education in Indonesia is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan or Kemdikbud) and the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kementerian Agama or Kemenag). In Indonesia, all citizens must undertake nine years of compulsory education which consists of six years at elementary level and three in secondary level. Islamic schools are under the responsibility of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
Education is defined as a planned effort to establish a study environment and educational process so that the student may actively develop his/her own potential in religious and spiritual level, consciousness, personality, intelligence, behavior and creativity to him/herself, other citizens and the nation. The Constitution also notes that there are two types of education in Indonesia: formal and non-formal. Formal education is further divided into three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary education.
Schools in Indonesia are run either by the government (negeri) or private sectors (swasta). Some private schools refer to themselves as "national plus schools" which means that they intend to go beyond the minimum government requirements, especially with the use of English as medium of instruction or having an international-based curriculum instead of the national one.
Early kingdoms[edit]
Educations system in the era of Hindu-Buddhist civilization is called karsyan. Karsyan is a place of hermitage. This method was highly religious, aimed to draw oneself closer to God.
Era of Islamic states[edit]
The emergence of Islamic state in Indonesia is noted by the acculturation of both Islamic tradition and Hindu-Buddhist tradition. At this time period, pondok pesantren, a type of Islamic boarding school was introduced and several of them were established. The location of pesantren is mostly faraway from the hustling crowd of the city, resembling the location of Karsyan.
Colonial era[edit]
Elementary education was introduced by the Dutch in Indonesia during the colonial era. Initially, it was reserved for the Dutch (and other Europeans) only. In 1870, with the growth of Dutch Ethical Policy formulated by Conrad Theodor van Deventer, some of these Dutch-founded schools opened the doors for pribumi (lit. native Indonesians). They were called Sekolah Rakjat (lit. folk school), the embryo of what is called Sekolah Dasar (lit. elementary school) today.[1]
The Dutch introduced a system of formal education for the local population of Indonesia, although this was restricted to certain privileged children. The system they introduced was roughly similar to the current structure, with the following levels:
- ELS (Dutch: Europeesche Lagere School) - Primary School for Europeans
- HIS (Dutch: Hollandsch-Inlandsche School) - Primary School for Natives
- MULO (Dutch: Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs) - Middle School
- AMS (Dutch: Algeme(e)ne Middelbare School) - High School or College
- HBS (Dutch:Hogere Burger School) - Pre-University
The segregation between Dutch and Indonesian in education pushed several Indonesian figures to start educational institutions for local people. Arab Indonesians founded Jamiat Kheir in 1905, Ahmad Dahlan founded Muhammadiyah in November 1912, and Ki Hajar Dewantara founded Taman Siswa in July 1922. Pesantrens were also mushrooming rapidly during this time period.[2]
The Dutch colonial government also established a number of universities for native Indonesian on the island of Java, such as:[3]
- School tot Opleiding van Inlandsche Artsen or STOVIA, a medical school in Batavia
- Nederland-Indische Artsen School or NIAS, a medical school in Surabaja
- Rechts Hoge School, a law school in Batavia
- De Technische Hoges School, or THS, a technic school in Bandoeng
By the 1930s, the Dutch had introduced limited formal education to nearly every province of the Dutch East Indies.
Recent history[edit]
Great progress has been made toward the goal of universal education since 1973, when nearly 20 percent of youth were illiterate.[4] At that time, then-President Suharto issued an order to set aside portions of oil revenues for the construction of new primary schools.[4] This act resulted in the construction or repair of nearly 40,000 primary-school facilities by the late 1980s, and literacy rates improved significantly nationwide.[4] During 1997–98, the financial crisis affected the poorest families the most, resulting in their selectively cutting back on their education expenditures.[4] Government funding struggled to keep up with rising costs during this period, but by 2002, according to the World Bank, only 2 percent of those between the ages of 15 and 24 could not read, and by 2009, the adult literacy rate was 90.4 percent.[4]
Early education[edit]
Pre-School education in Indonesia is covered under PAUD (Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini, lit. Early Age Education) that covers Taman Bermain (playgroup) and Taman Kanak-Kanak (kindergarten, abbreviated as TK). PAUD is under direct supervision and coverage of Directorate of Early Age Education Development (Direktorat Pengembangan Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini). From the age of 2, parents send their children to attend Taman Bermain. From the age of 4, they attend Taman Kanak-Kanak. Most TK arrange the classes into two grades, grade A and grade B, which are informally called kelas nol kecil (little zero grade) and kelas nol besar (big zero grade) respectively. While this level of education is not compulsory for Indonesian citizens, it is aimed to prepare them for primary schooling. Of the 49,000 kindergartens in Indonesia, 99.35% are privately operated schools.[5] The kindergarten years are usually divided into "Class A" and "Class B" students spending a year in each class.
Public primary and secondary education[edit]
Indonesians are required to attend twelve years of school.[6] They must go to school six (or five, depending on the institution) days a week from 7:00 a.m. until afternoon (usually 2 or 3 p.m.).[4] They can choose between state-run, nonsectarian public schools supervised by the Department of National Education (Depdiknas) or private or semi-private religious (usually Islamic) schools supervised and financed by the Department of Religious Affairs.[4] Students can also choose to participate in extracurricular activities provided by the school such as sports, arts, or religious studies.[4] However, although 86.1 percent of the Indonesian population is registered as Muslim, according to the 2000 census only 15 percent of school-age individuals attended religious schools.[4] Overall enrollment figures are slightly higher for girls than boys and much higher in Java than the rest of Indonesia.[4]
A central goal of the national education system is not merely to impart secular wisdom about the world but also to instruct children in the principles of participation in the modern nation-state, its bureaucracies, and its moral and ideological foundations.[4] Beginning under Guided Democracy (1959–65) and strengthened in the New Order after 1975, a key feature of the national curriculum—as was the case for other national institutions—has been instruction in the Pancasila.[4] Children age six and older learned by rote its five principles—belief in one God, humanitarianism, national unity, democracy, and social justice—and were instructed daily to apply the meanings of this key national symbol to their lives.[4] But with the end of the New Order in 1998 and the beginning of the campaign to decentralize the national government, provincial and district-level administrators obtained increasing autonomy in determining the content of schooling, and Pancasila began to play a diminishing role in the curriculum.[4]
A style of pedagogy prevails inside public-school classrooms that emphasizes rote learning and deference to the authority of the teacher.[4] Although the youngest children are sometimes allowed to use their local language, by the third year of primary school nearly all instruction is conducted in Indonesian.[4] Teachers customarily do not ask questions of individual students; rather, a standard teaching technique is to narrate a historical event or to describe a mathematical problem, pausing at key junctures to allow the students to call out responses that "fill in the blanks".[4] By not identifying individual problems of students and retaining an emotionally distanced demeanor, teachers are said to show themselves to be patient, which is considered admirable behavior.[4]
Children aged 6–11 attend primary school, called Sekolah Dasar (SD).[4] Most elementary schools are government-operated public schools, accounting for nearly 93% of all elementary schools in Indonesia.[7] Students spend six years in primary school, though some schools offer an accelerated learning program in which students who perform well can complete the level in five years.[citation needed]
Three years of junior secondary school (Sekolah Menengah Pertama, or SMP), which follows elementary school.[4] Some schools also offer an accelerated learning program in which students who perform well can complete the level in two years.
After completion of them, they may be attend three years of senior secondary school (Sekolah Menengah Atas or SMA). Some senior secondary schools offer an accelerated learning program so students who perform well can complete their level within two years. Besides senior secondary school (Sekolah Menengah Atas or SMA), students can choose among 47 programmes of vocational and pre-professional senior secondary schools (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan or SMK), divided in the following fields: technology and engineering, health, arts, craft and tourism, information and communication technologies, agro-business and agro-technology, business management. Each requires three years of study.[8] There are academic and vocational junior high schools that lead to senior-level diplomas. There are also "domestic science" junior high schools for girls.[4] At the senior high school level, three-year agricultural, veterinary, and forestry schools are open to students who have graduated from an academic junior high school.[4] Special schools at the junior and senior levels teach hotel management, legal clerking, plastic arts, and music.[4]
Students with disabilities/special needs may alternately opt to be enrolled in a separate school from the mainstream called Sekolah Luar Biasa (lit. Extraordinary School).[citation needed]
The completion rate for Indonesian primary schools is high.[4] Indeed, 100 percent of the relevant age-group had completed primary education as of 2003.[4] However, it must be noted that numerous problem plague this statement, considering the widespread corruption in Indonesia extends to schools too. (For example, a headmaster/mistress may pay the inspectors supervising a test to ignore any cheating attempts by the students or even give out blatant advice on how to complete a certain question, etc. etc.) The gross enrollment rate for primary schools was 100 percent, but it decreased to 62 percent for secondary schools and 16 percent for post-secondary schools.[4] There were nearly equal numbers of girls and boys in primary and secondary schools; in the late 2000s, the ratio was 96.7 girls to 100 boys.[4] Depdiknas reported that in school year 2007–8 there were 63,444 kindergartens, with a total enrollment of 2.8 million pupils and 176,061 teachers.[4] Later statistics are available for primary and secondary levels for school year 2008–9.[4] They indicate that there were 144,228 primary schools, with a total enrollment of 26.9 million students and 1.5 million teachers; 28,777 junior secondary schools, with a total enrollment of 8.9 million students and 629,036 teachers; 10,762 general senior secondary schools, with a total enrollment of 3.8 million students and 314,389 teachers; and 7,592 vocational senior secondary schools, with a total enrollment of 3 million students and 246,018 teachers.[4] Additionally, there were 1,686 special education schools from kindergarten to senior secondary levels, with a total enrollment of 73,322 and 18,047 teachers.[4]
Teacher-training programs are varied and gradually being upgraded. For example, in the 1950s anyone completing a teacher-training program at the junior high school level could obtain a teacher's certificate.[4] Since the 1970s, however, primary-school teachers have been required to have graduated from a senior high school for teachers, and teachers of higher grades have been required to have completed a university-level education course.[4] Remuneration for primary- and secondary-school teachers, although low, compares favorably with that in other Asian countries such as Malaysia, India, and Thailand.[4] Student–teacher ratios also compare satisfactorily with those in many Asian nations: They were 23.4 to 1 and 18.8 to 1, respectively, for primary and secondary schools in 2004; that same year, the overall averages for Asia-Pacific countries were 22 to 1 and 18 to 1, respectively.[4]
By 2008, the staff shortage in Indonesia's schools was no longer as acute as in the 1980s, but serious difficulties remain, particularly in the areas of teacher salaries, teacher certification, and finding qualified personnel.[4] In many remote areas of the Outer Islands, in particular, there is a severe shortage of qualified teachers, and some villages have school buildings but no teachers, books, or supplies.[4] Providing textbooks and other school equipment to Indonesia's 37 million schoolchildren throughout the far-flung archipelago continues to be a significant problem as well, especially in more remote areas.[4]
School grades[edit]
The school year is divided into two semesters. The first commences in July and ends in December while the latter commences in January and ends in June.

Islamic schools[edit]
The secular and nationalist emphasis in public schools has been resisted by some of the Muslim majority.[4] A distinct and vocal minority of these Muslims prefer to place their children in a pesantren (Islamic boarding school), or Islamic school.[4] Usually located in rural areas and directed by a Muslim scholar, pesantren are attended by young people seeking a detailed understanding of the Quran, the Arabic language, the sharia, and Muslim traditions and history, as well as more modern subjects such as English, mathematics, and geography. Students can enter and leave the pesantren any time of the year, and the studies are not organized as a progression of courses leading to graduation.[4] Although the chief aim of pesantren is to produce good Muslims, they do not share a single stance toward Islam or a position on secularism.[4] Some pesantren emphasize the autonomy of modern students to think for themselves and to interpret scripture and modern knowledge in a way that is consistent with the teachings of Islam.[4] Others are more traditional and stress the importance of following the wisdom of elders, including their teachings on science, religion, and family life.[4] Although the terrorist bombings in Kuta, Bali, in 2002 raised suspicions about whether pesantren promote extremist views, the majority of these schools in Indonesia are theologically moderate, reflecting the views of the Indonesian population as a whole.[4] For those who opt for a pesantren education, a sixth-grade equivalency certificate is available after successful completion of a state test.[4]
In order for students to adapt to life in the modern nation-state, in the 1970s the Muslim-dominated Department of Religion (now the Department of Religious Affairs) advocated the spread of a newer variety of Muslim school, the madrassa.[4] This kind of school integrates religious subjects from the pesantren with secular subjects from the Western-style public-education system.[4] Although in general the public believes that Islamic schools offer lower-quality education, among Islamic schools a madrassa is ranked lower than a pesantren.[4]
Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) is the Islamic schooling alternative to SD, following a curriculum with more focus on Arabic and Islam. Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) is the Islamic schooling equivalent of SMP. Madrasah Aliyah (MA) is the Islamic schooling equivalent of SMA while Madrasah Aliyah Kejuruan (MAK) is the equivalent of SMK.[citation needed]
Higher education[edit]
The higher education institution is categorized into two types: public and private. Both are supervised by the Ministry of National Education. There are four types of higher education institution: universities, institutes, academies, and polytechnics.[citation needed]
Indonesia's institutions of higher education have experienced dramatic growth since independence.[4] In 1950 there were 10 institutions of higher learning with a total of about 6,500 students. In 1970, 450 private and state institutions enrolled about 237,000 students, and by 1990 there were 900 institutions with about 141,000 teachers and nearly 1.5 million students.[4] By 2009 there were 2,975 institutions of higher education and more than 4.2 million students.[4] Of these institutions, 3 percent were public, with 57.1 percent of the student enrollment, and 97 percent were private, with 42.9 of the student enrollment.[4] Even though government subsidies finance approximately 80 to 90 percent of state-university budgets, universities have considerably more autonomy in curriculum and internal structure than do primary and secondary schools.[4] Whereas, tuition in such state institutions is more affordable than private-university tuition, enabling attendance by students from relatively modest backgrounds, faculty salaries are low by international standards. Lecturers often have other jobs outside the university to supplement their wages.[4]
Private universities are generally operated by foundations.[4] Unlike state universities, private institutions have budgets that are almost entirely tuition-driven. A onetime registration fee (which can be quite high) is determined at the time of entry.[4] Universities with a religious affiliation may receive donations or grants from religious organisations.[4] The government provides only limited scholarship support for students wishing to attend private universities.[4]
Most of the 6,000 foreign students studying in Indonesian universities hail from Malaysia. In particular, they are in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, literature, humanities, Islamic studies and engineering. The majority are sponsored by the Malaysian government. These foreign students are dispersed across Indonesia in almost all public universities such as Universitas Sumatera Utara, University of Indonesia, Gadjah Mada University, Bandung Institute of Technology[12] and also in private institutions such as Universitas Kristen Krida Wacana (UKRIDA).
Indonesian degrees[edit]
Type of degree | Indonesian term | Equivalent in English-speaking countries |
Diploma 1 (D1) | Profesional ahli pratama | Associate degree |
Diploma 2 (D2) | Profesional ahli muda | Associate degree |
Diploma 3 (D3) | Profesional ahli madya | Associate degree |
Diploma 4 (D4) | Sarjana sains terapan | Bachelor's degree |
Sarjana 1 (S1) | Sarjana | Bachelor's degree |
Sarjana 2 (S2) | Magister | Master's degree |
Sarjana 3 (S3) | Doktor | Doctoral degree |
Foreign university[edit]
Foreign universities can operate in Indonesia, but they are required to cooperate with local universities. A final and binding Constitutional Court has rejected a judicial review proposed by six students to refuse foreign universities to operate in Indonesia.[13]
International education[edit]
As of January 2015, the International Schools Consultancy (ISC)[14] listed Indonesia as having 190 international schools.[15] ISC defines an 'international school' in the following terms "ISC includes an international school if the school delivers a curriculum to any combination of pre-school, primary or secondary students, wholly or partly in English outside an English-speaking country, or if a school in a country where English is one of the official languages, offers an English-medium curriculum other than the country's national curriculum and is international in its orientation."[16] This definition is used by publications including The Economist.[17]

dc.description.abstract | The synthesis and characterization of a new tertiary alcohol (2-octyl-2-dodecanol) and "bushy-tailed", hydrophobic acrylic monomer (2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate) from a 1-decene dimer (2-octyl-1-dodecene) precursor that was synthesized with metallocene technology is reported. Some preliminary applications of the newly synthesized 2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate were investigated. These applications included the use of 2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate as a reactive hydrophobe in mini-emulsion polymerizations, and as a reactive (internal) plasticizer. In an attempt to selectively dimerize 1-decene, the effect of various factors on the oligomerization of 1-decene was investigated. These factors include the following: i. Different temperatures: 5, 35, 70 and 90°C ii. Different co-catalyst [methylaluminoxane (MAO)] concentrations iii. Different catalysts: bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride (Cp2ZrCl2) and bis(cyclopentadienyl)hafnium dichloride (Cp2HfCl2) iv. Different reaction times. In all instances the final product obtained, under the abovementioned conditions, was a mixture of residual monomer, the dimer and trimer of 1-decene. These findings were corroborated with GC-MS and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The isolation and further processing of the dimer of 1-decene (2-octyl-1-dodecene) was investigated. The efficiency, in terms of the final product-composition for the amount of catalyst used and reaction time, of Cp2ZrCl2 compared to bis(cyclopentadienyl)hafnium dichloride (Cp2HfCl2; hafnocene) as catalyst for the oligomerization of 1-decene is also reported on. The results obtained indicated that Cp2ZrCl2 is the more efficient catalyst for the oligomerization of 1-decene. The effect of different reaction times (1, 3, 6, 24 hours) on the final product-composition for the oligomerization of 1-decene was also investigated. Longer reaction times (24 hours) seemed to be excessive. A reaction time of 6 hours was optimal. The purified 1-decene dimer (2-octyl-1-dodecene) was converted to the new tertiary alcohol (2-octyl-2-dodecanol) using the oxymercuration-demercuration procedure. The 2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate was synthesized by the esterification of the tertiary alcohol with acryloyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. The new tertiary alcohol and acrylate were characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Stable polymer latex particles were successfully synthesized with the novel reactive hydrophobe 2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate in the mini-emulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and styrene. Phase-separation experiments showed that the presence of 2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate in the dispersed phase retards Ostwald ripening. The novel acrylic monomer, 2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate, was copolymerized with styrene via conventional free radical polymerization. Both low and high molecular weight copolymers were prepared. Thermal analysis of the copolymers showed that 2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate does act as a reactive (internal) plasticizer. Blends of commercial virgin polystyrene and the synthesized low and high molecular weight copolymers were prepared. Partially miscible blends were obtained. Decreases in the glass transition temperatures of the blends compared to the virgin polystyrene were observed. The higher molecular mass styrene/2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate copolymers produced larger decreases in glass-transition temperatures. | en |

A female documentary director's latest project is to capture her sister's marital difficulties on film in hopes of shedding light on the travails of modern romance. Ostensibly, the film aspires to view the problems from a contemporary female perspective, but the story's end belies its basis in traditional Mexican morality. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The first Apprentice winner Bill Rancic married E! News anchor Giuliana DePandi on Saturday on the Italian island of Capri.
Rancic, 36, and the Napoli-born DePandi, 32, exchanged vows at the end of a church aisle strewn with white rose petals and dotted with white candles.
The couple, who got engaged last December, had a traditional Catholic ceremony, in both Italian and English, delivered by Rancic's family priest from his childhood growing up in the Chicago area.
"This is the real deal," says Rancic, who has attended church every Sunday with DePandi since the two became serious, "so we wanted a very old school, full Catholic mass."
DePandi wore a white, strapless and beaded Monique Lhuillier dress and veil especially designed for her, and Rancic wore a white tie and black tuxedo custom-tailored by the bride's father, who owns a high-end men's clothing store in Maryland.
DePandi's sister, Monica, was maid of honor and Rancic's "honorary" best man was his late father.
"I lost my father several years back and he's the honorary best man," says Rancic, "we'll have a candle up there as a tribute to him."
After the ceremony, the couple arranged for buses to take the 190 guests to Capri's center piazza, where dozens of Neapolitan dancers were to sing and dance alongside the guests as they walked in a group, led by the bride and groom, to the reception at the Grand Hotel Quisisana.
The menu included local Southern Italian fare – prosciutto and two pasta dishes – followed by a vanilla and cream wedding cake decorated with red rose petals flown in from Holland.
Missing in action at the wedding was Rancic's former boss, Donald Trump. "His schedule didn't allow it," says Rancic.
As for the honeymoon, the couple will have to wait.
"We both have to get back to work," says DePandi, who will be covering the Emmys on Sept. 16. And Rancic begins work next month as the new host of In The Loop with IVillage on NBC.
