Seni Membela Istri

Seni Membela Istri: "By. Julianto Simanjuntak***

Salah satu pemberian terbaik dalam hidup manusia adalah keluarga. Keluarga merupakan lembaga pusat pembentukan manusia menjadi berguna dan bahagia.

Dari manakah sumber seorang Presiden, Menteri, Dokter, Musisi, Penyair, Guru, atau bidan yang baik? Jawabnya adalah dari keluarga.

Tidak ada seorang suami dan sekaligus ayah yang berhasil tanpa dukungan istri. Demikian sebaliknya, tidak ada istri dan sekaligus ibu yang sukses tanpa pengayoman suaminya.

Kali ini penulis secara khusus menyoroti peranan suami sebagai pembela alias advokat istri. Dalam masyarakat paternalistik sering ada kabar tak sedap, suami menganiaya istri. Suami tidak terlibat banyak dalam pengasuhan anak. Bagaimana sesungguhnya posisi dan fungsi utama suami dalam perkawinan ?"

Indonesian Govt Urged to Pay Serious Attention to Javan Rhino - KOMPAS.com

Indonesian Govt Urged to Pay Serious Attention to Javan Rhino - KOMPAS.com: "SURABAYA, KOMPAS.com - The government should pay serious attention to the survival of the Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) whose population has not increased over the past few years, an environmentalist said.

"The number of Javan Rhinos in the Ujung Kulon national park was around 20-40 heads in 2010," Singky Soewadji said here recently.

He expressed pessimism that the endangered animal’s population could increase in the coming years. "This is because the area of forested land in Indonesia has shrunk and is continuing to shrink."

Many habitats of rare animals had been converted into plantation areas, he said, adding that quite often plantation managers ordered the killings of endangered animals living in the forests. "Such a condition is disadvantageous for Indonesia because many of its rare animals will die.""

Fuel Consumption in Indonesia Predicted to Reach 41 Million Kiloliters - KOMPAS.com

Fuel Consumption in Indonesia Predicted to Reach 41 Million Kiloliters - KOMPAS.com: "JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The government has projected subsidized fuel oil consumption to reach 41 million kiloliters this year, slightly higher than the target of 40.49 million kiloliters set under the revised 2011 state budget.

"The difference will not be large. (Subsidized fuel consumption) is likely to reach 41 million kiloliters or slightly more until the end of this year," Director General of Oil and Gas at the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry Evita Legowo said here on Wednesday.

The higher-than-predicted consumption is among others because of difficulties to keep down the abuse of subsidized fuel oil to industries. he also said the Indonesian crude price (ICP) was expected to exceed US$110 per barrel until the end of this year, well above the target of US$95 per barrel set under the revised 2011 state budget.

Indonesia Facing Critical Period in Infrastructure Development - KOMPAS.com

Indonesia Facing Critical Period in Infrastructure Development - KOMPAS.com: "JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The coming three years will be a very critical phase for Indonesia in the development of its infrastructure as it would only have two options, namely developing fast and strategic infrastructures or being trapped in structural and prolonged congestion.

The next three years until 2014 will be crucial for Indonesia’s infrastructure development. However, observers see that the government still has no solid policy in the field that would support the development of its infrastructures.

"The government’s latest policy in this sector such as a master plan for the acceleration and expansion of Indonesia’s economic development (MP3EI) has not yet been prepared well in the field," Suyono Dikun, a professor at the University of Indonesia, said on Thursday.

Failure to develop enough infrastructures in the country will cause congestion in different sectors, not only in the traffic one. "The congestion will happen not only on roads but also on railway tracks, ports, airports, power energy, irrigation, drinking water and others," Suyono said."

Bali Added to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity List - KOMPAS.com

Bali Added to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity List - KOMPAS.com: "DENPASAR, KOMPAS.com - Chinese shadow puppetry and Belgian set ritual repertoire, both passed down through the generations were added Saturday to UNESCO’s list of “intangible cultural heritage” of humanity.

Envoys on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali added the two new entries to UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage of humanity list for 2011. Chinese shadow puppetry is a form of theatre acted by colourful silhouette figures made from leather or paper, accompanied by music and singing and manipulated by puppeteers using rods, UNESCO explained on its website.

Also newly listed is Leuven age set ritual repertoire from Belgium, a rite of passage centring on the ten years leading up to a man’s fiftieth birthday.

More items are expected to be listed when envoys meet again on Sunday. UNESCO has chosen 47 items last year including Indian Chhau dance which enacts episodes from epics including the Mahabharata and Ramayana and human towers built by members of amateur groups named Castells in Spain."
