Les Misserables - Energy Policy Lesson

Jimmy Carter (Democrat Party Struggle leader) Speech in 1977 and later became books in 1983 - GLOBAL 2000 "Everyone Excels at Something" and what about the The Rimini Protocol have declared; all have correlating with the future of the worlds.
But why they made it in Rimini? that was other theme and I'm not kinds of guys ;-).

Why should we always calculate the bias knowledge both human nature and the realpolitik system ;which could lead us to enter an unpredictable time of social, political, and economic hardship global instability.
Only the Time could give us the Answer.

70's OIL SCHOCK FLASHBACK
I just make small flashback of what was happening with this oil schock have changes the economics as well as in political in some country.

First Oil Schock have begun with Yom Kipur war => oil price became higher since there are embargo have been made to stopped the war.
What is the global changes after the First Schock was the interesting theme for me.
SOUTH AMERICA
Venezuela got their first windfall-profit from these war => Venezuela became more prosper country among the Latin Country.Many young people looking for Luck in Venezuela where also being Paris of Latin America and became fame of their miss universe.
Brazil have starting to minimized their dependence from oil import with ethanol, of course there also constrictive eroei economical parameter of labor intensive plantation/farmings methods question inside.
ASIA
Indonesia became more important for Singaporean oil rigs equipment trader, other side Singapore human resources advantages enjoyed this condition and could also couple up their prosper life's.
Japan as new born industry country have starting to build economics car and latter day they could for the first time to penetrated the US automobile market.I still remember our Datsun 160J, my uncle corrola and also some aussie holden torana been importing to indonesia.
The new born country South Korea starting to take the Japan textile industry markets to oil bombs region in Asia.
MIDDLE EAST
Dubai-Kuwait as the most moderat city in the region gain more trust by the western investor, to be their base hub of trade/production area oil rigs support.
EUROPE
The North Sea oil reserve have started again their importance, without doubt Shell/BP will investing in expensive offshore rigs and their drilling know how technology.
Kvaerner-Scandinavian could reborn against the German/England heavy construction mammoth.
End of 80's Germany have begun to substitute the fossil energy with alternative energy and made "eco-steuer/eco-tax" policy to subside the alternative energy development.
On the same time lines Denmark became leader of windpower energy producer in Europe.
France got madcow disease which lead them to build Nuke-powerplan as the major source for electricity.

What is Dutch Disease??
Dutch disease have happened in 50's-60's as they have found gas in Helgoland??their economics condition not became better than before, since their made budgeting plan depend on gas revenue.It was also problem of what we called with dependency revenue on small resources or in other words lack of diversity or similar meaning with the proverbs "don't put your eggs on one baskets".
The Dutch cases not only end up there, they have also problem since all of the revenue actually not really invested to prosper the nation; in other words they made wrong investment/miss-investment project.

Today's US VS. India energy policy.
After i have read US energy bill and compared to India President; i have believes India is more progressive than US or China.
India look much learned from japan or Europe; as we today could follow both of country are mastering to control the today energy crise. Both Europe & Japan fundamental plan of housing-city-planning, transportation-logistic and energy sources supply; of course the most important always the culture/life's-style itself was difference from US/OZ.

That was many things of global changes have been made which i could not made notice from my 5,-DM discount paper back books collection and mostly inspiration from Marisa Cohen in millist for their humanistic angle view to see a problem.

Be always life's in state of war zone and don't ever to be over optimistic/confidence since the global war have invisible enemy within or outside of ourself
"The enemy inevitably attacks on two occasions: when they're ready and when you're not."

Buffalo Soldier Come To Minangkabau

Bob Marley with his song Buffalo Soldier in any cases compatible to be used in some occasion, also Minangkabau have historical stories with Buffalo.
Minang = Victories and Kabau = Watter Buffalo so Minangkabau means Buffalo Win, Buffalo Wins...

Buffalo are common to be used in most South East Asia country for their workhorse in rice field preparation.Probably it was the most useful animals in agrar sectors to prospers the Farmer life's, while it have multiple benefits as workhorse, transportation, and also it was know as the only friendly investment .
No matter where ever you go in Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Burma or Philippines the words Kerbau seems much sounds for their ears.It's not the linguistic matter but also their culture migration could be united in Kerbau/Waterbuffel.

In Copenhagen Denmark where one of Indonesians Founding Father with Minangkabau origin, have started his searching of Indonesian socialist economics models; there was a sculpture of Little Mermaids which taken from Hans Christian Andersen, it's could be coincidental cases since in Land of Minangkabau there is also "Nature Carved Stones" in Pasir Manis Bay which have also tales with it. The tales spread up from the fisherman villages, where long times ago have been also used as trade hub of the regions.
Happy Readings for all.

The Maling Kundang Story Tales.

Once upon a time there is a boy called Maling kundang who lived in a small village in West Sumatra.
He lived with his mother, Nyi Ronggeng. They were very, very poor. After Maling Kundang became an adult, he decided to earn money in the big city. He was bored with his life and try to searched for a better life.And he went to sailed away and left his mother alone in their village.
Years goes years come he became rich with his trading works, he has married a girls whose named Nyi Roro Kidul, and they lifes in their imperium.
In between he became more greedy and under his unconsciousness he became arrogant and have thinks everything could be bought.But alas he also forgot his mother who still waited for his return homes.

One day, Maling Kundang and his wife went to Malin Kundang's village by sailing ship. That day, Nyi Ronggeng heard that there were a man and his wife who were very rich coming. Nyi Ronggeng felt that the man was her son who had gone many tears ago.
Nyi Ronggeng ran to their sailing-ship. When she saw that man, she recognized her son. She shouted and called her son. "Maling Kundang ...Maling Kundang ..my dear son."
But Maling Kundang was too ashamed to acknowledge that the woman who was shouting was his mother. Maling Kundang's mother was very surprised that her son didn't want to acknowledge her.She became very angry. She put a spell on Maling Kundang to be a stone.
And Maling Kundang really became a stone.

The Batak - Janis Joplin Ancesstor

The sculpture made me a small remembering of Janis Joplin, but there was other reason too.
The Batak social lifes philosophy as what I have observed actually the same with the Javanese.
The Javanese have sayings "Mangan Ora Mangan Asal Ngumpul - Have or have nothings to eat is not the important things, as long as they could together". So What about The Bataks??
For them "Have or have nothings to Eat is not important, as long as there are Guitars or Chess-boards".
Because they love to sings and playing chess, and their durability to sings are extrems and at the end to your surprise their voice will became sounds like to Janis Joplin. :-)

Above left is sarcophagus in Tomok where "King Sida Butar" the kings of Samosir rested, just take a look at his tombstone carved on top of coffin which have similarity to Pharaohs
There is also a place called "Batu Hobon - The Hobon Stone", it was a kinds of King Salomon Mines there is also an empty room inside but nobody have been see it till jens.
Some research sources claimed that more than 2000 years ago, the arab had come to trade with Bataks for "Kapur Barus - Camphor" ;which as we have know necessary for mummifying the dead. Since the Arabs actually culture have no mummies i thinks it was probably Egyptians.

Rights above is The Toba lake which create by big eruption ever been knew on these planets, it's biggest than Bodeen See in Europe and on the middle there is Samosir Island which also as big as Singapore.

And now made same notice of similarity carved technique on Batak Wooden Statue or Toraja Half-Man Tombs Stones on below left pics, it were the same ones as what i have saw from that pictures.
The Torajans Half-Man-Thombstone and also Batak wooden Carved have similarity to Chili Easter Island statue Moai, probably you have hear the famous expedition called Kon-Tiki in 1950's; there was probably the most important expedition after Darwin-galapagos expedition.

The advanced of this expedition are their extensive research for archeological, linguistic and ethnographic; except them is the important DNA test have explained that the origin population not come from Americans Indian but the Polynesians, that also why being interesting for my personally.
Their accurate DNA test from origin skeleton bring the answer why they called the Island Rapa Nui which linguistics sound much too Tahitians, and the Tahitian actually have correlated origin with Molucass-Samoa.(Both have almost simmilar language/ethnic groups)
And to those that sailed to the Marquesas Islands then to Hawai’i after then to New Zealand and finally to Tahiti.And take note its migrattion could only possible by used of Cannoe and it was we called Catamarans/Trimarant the best only knowed stabile vessels formature that could beat the Waves.In Indonesian mostly used are threemarant since it was realiable/easier to pusshed in beachlandings.

Actually there are also some similarity mythological stories, but cultural migration could not be used as axiom of people migration.
If only it could be used, so Janis Joplin is probably Bataks and not Caucasians :-).

Cleopatra Favorites Cat

Spin Doctor Albums was popular for some months in my student time, it was the real spinns (in german spinn means Crazy) alternative band which can enjoyed some weeks on hit list radio.
To understand the Spin Doctors - Cleopatra's Cat Lyrics you should have read Cleopatra VII (who died by the Snake bite) stories before.
The Cleopatra Cat is never been discussed in any books, but the cat have been found in Cleopatra pyramids catacombe, it means that she love her cat.In Egyptien they have Culture beliefes that the cats would protect his owner in her next eternal lifes.
As we all have know the Cat as domestic animal but in nature they have other function to normalising the Rat/snakes population. It was clear both snake-cat could also used for pest controls, but alas the snake are not really domestic animals and they belongs to cold-blood animals i.e. sensible from temperature changes.Other side much reactional if their habitat been entering by other species. It was the nature instinc of the Snakes.
1965 have been baptized by Sukarno as the Years of Vivere Pericoloso (amazing he know almost everyhings I don't event imagine :-o) ; other side the Medicine have symbol god Aesculapius wraped by snake and it take it because snake bites could be fight with its own poisson biss.

CLEOPATRA'S CAT
[Spin Doctors]

Cleopatra's favourite cat
Got his hands on Caesar spats
The heat was on as you could see
So he front' em to Mark-Anthony.
Said," 2X My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me."

Caesar had an eye for clothes
He saw them spats and said, "I like those."
Caesar had no thing to said, except,
"Jesu Christi Domine,
Et tu, Brute,
Jesu Christi Domine,
Et tu, Brute."

The Senate tried to sympathize
It was the cat they should despise
Informant told his whereabouts
Centurions to seek him out
Centurions! There go the centurions.

2X Cleopatra's favorite cat

Brutus had to turn his head
When that cat done went and said,
"If he's got this thing for shoes,
He just might be ambitious, too.
They got holidays all in his name,
And all a tyrant needs is fame.
Those fascists don't play pretty games
Egypt is the place to be...
But Rome is a democracy.
Rome!"

2X My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me

Caesar never got them back
'Cause they killed his ass in second act.
Brutus spoke, then Anthony:
Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me.
Friends, Romans, can't you see
My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me
Egypt's biggest rivalry;
4X Cleopatra's cat and me."

NOTE: Some people have believe that The Universe ruled by the Law of Physic and it inclusive the economics.
I'm just asking you if you agree that "Politics is ruled by the law of Nature/Biology" ?

The Dead Of Orpheus - for Thomas Friedman

In history the great are not solitary; out of the night come the voices of those who have gone before, clear and courageous; and so through the ages they march, a mighty procession, proud, undaunted, unconquerable.

To join in this glorious company, to swell the immortal paeon of those whom fate could not subdue - this may not be happiness; but what is happiness to those whose souls are filled with that celestial music?

To them is given what is better than happiness: to know the fellowship of the great, to live in the inspiration of lofty thoughts, and to be illuminated in every perplexity by the fire of nobility and truth.

[Betrand Russell-On History ]

I beng you to follow your heart because the hearts never lieyed, the crowd could be right but the crowd could be wrong; to chossed the left wings OR the right wings that was the only choices you should have to made.
Orpheus has been knowing as one of the Singer who saying the Truths above All lier truths. He was the Greeks Jim Morrison, who sings the prophesy of human stories and their failures.
I dedicated these writing to Thomas Friedman as my critics for his writing "Giving the Hatemongers No Place to Hide" on his column.

[Rigth - painted by John Wiliams 1900 Title: The Nymphe Crying For Orpheus]
The birds, lamenting, cried for you, Orpheus;the crowd of wild creatures; the hard flints;the trees that often gathered to your song, shedding their leaves, mourned you with bared crowns.
They say the rivers, also, were swollen with their own tears, and the naiads and dryads, with dishevelled hair, put on sombre clothes.
The poet´s limbs were strewn in different places: the head and the lyre you, Hebrus, received, and (a miracle!) floating in midstream, the lyre lamented mournfully;mournfully the lifeless tongue murmured;mournfully the banks echoed in reply.
And now, carried onward to the sea, they left their native river-mouth and reached the shores of Lesbos, at Methymna.

[Left- painted by Delville 1893]
Here, as the head lay exposed on the alien sand, its moist hair dripping brine, a fierce snake attacked it.
But at last Phoebus came, and prevented it, as it was about to bite, and turned the serpent´s gaping jaws to stone, and froze the mouth, wide open, as it was.

Toraja - The Land Of The Eternal Soul

Toraja means "Land Of Kings" but I would prefer as the Land Of Eternal Souls, since they have beliefs the souls of the accentor still there before they go to heavens.
In Toraja specially Rantepao where the Rock-cliffs have "eyes", near of the Top of Toraja Highest Mountain there is a palaces called Lokomata or "The Eye Of The Rocks", here everywhere are square eyes in kinds of large holes dug in the giant rock-cliffs.
Inside these "eyes" buried the Torajans in ethnical painted wooden flaps.

Kinds of tall rocks with their sharp peak pointing skywards, reminded me the Cleopatra's Needle/obelisk which fast the same one could be find in Karnak Temple Of Egypt. The erecting method both toraja and Egypt are same,
Some Indonesian antropolog have writes that the Bataks in North Sumatra and the Torajas are come from the same stamm/familly-cousins.
And it can be easy to note same similarity of both cultures.
1..In Toraja they have a kinds of Wooden Puppets that the Bataks [in Samosir Island of Toba Lakes] called as Si Gale Gale.
2..The typically stone ages cultures obviously are the same Bataks, Nias and Toraja; all of them have kinds of same Obelisk.
3..The monotone music, and also similarity tones are belongs to this mystery too.
4..The art Texture design of their textile, also wooden carved texture; what still interesting probably the way they mixed the color from nature minerals.
5..The Toraja Roof tops Boat design are the same ones with the Bataks and make notice it seems like a kinds of Papyrus Boat.

Egyptian Craft had a low, curved prow and a high stern. The End of both prow and stern curled into the forms of a papyrus flowers. Egyptian boats have also a mast as long as the vessels it self, with cross at the top, and located in the center of vessels. So the difference between Egyptian boat and Toraja/bataks House is only that the long mast that used to carry Sails was transformed into a long pillar, which used as parts of Toraja House foundation. Also just thinks to imagine the boat from opposite side :-).

Since I have believed "Thoughts Are Free And Subject To No Rules" so it was a little mystery inside,I would just mouth telling some interesting things.
In Toraja there is a village called Kairo; there is some skeleton with exceptionally long limbs and huge skulls compared to the present population founded in some Rocks-graved.
It was the Puzzle of people/culture migration, the bataks/torajas probably have.
And most important is the Bulls Horn on front of their House Pyramid shaped wall.
They also have beliefs/believe that The Bull-horns symbolized the COURAGE and BRAVERY; or The more bull horns the Pillars bears, the richer and braver the owner of the house is.
Please take also note in ancient Egypt; the people worship the Sun God, RA and his gentle and much beloved wife Hathor who had the head of a cow.
The Torajans have believe that God has bestowed on them a special breed of bulls called tedong which is meant only for funeral rites.The tedong have white skin with black spots or stripes, tedongs belongs to albino class which product accidently by nature; and it used only for special occasion in Torajana ceremony.

Probably the Egyptian have left the superior Traits on Bataks/Torajans gene, since in Indonesia both people are mastering in Law/Debating/Math's, it was kind of nature talented people from times of Hammurabi; It could be very interesting if The Dawkins Memes postulate could be tested on these Folksgroups; if you are not really understand memes please asked any Indonesia who is Memes:-).

About that I've read before in Traxx German books, it was a series expeditions book about the missing-links anthropology and cultures X-files from all over the worlds. I don't really sure if the TV series in Arte-TV or ProSieben still broadcasting it.To my surprise it was not coincidental cases also if you have time to collecting the similarity with South Americans Baumaster works. In Toraja i.e. Celebes Island there are also kind of Manhir/Stone Tombs or Half-Man-with-Hut Stone crave which also pointed to the eastern, and it found also in some Island in Polynesia until South American Continents.

Top Of The World Climber

Penatran is the Temple Besakih of Bali, the view of stairways to the Tops of Temple bring the feelings as if we are on the ways to reach Heaven, of course it is just my personal opinion only to find a kind of celestial step-ladder leading upwards to eternal highest of the Sky or Nirvana.
Unique than any other master works, the impression of nirvana only could be found from the main entrance on this view the sky is clean from disturbing mountainous background, I'm just wondering if only phenomenal Rainbow covering the tops of temple gate, it could made marvelous panoramic accent.

Where Is The Heaven?
The sky is unlimited that why people build their sacred temple over the hills or mountain. In most of the old telling; Mountain always become the symbol of highest of achievement of a man; Abraham's was found the God on mount of Sinai in kind of fire on busch, the Noah Ark landed on the mount Ararat before he release , The Tibet Lama have build their temple on the mountain ...etc, And it is common that a man start the thought of Peace Of Mind after some of extreme experiences in his life's and he always on struggle to find the answer to satisfied himself.

The Mountaineering Thought:

Every climbers or mountaineering always prepared their journey not only for the uphill but also the downhill, every expeditions would be said as successfully if it also included the seamlessly downhill journey.
There are many climbers got difficulty in downhill journey, some lucky ones could still going home but some other rested in peace over the mountain and they never been home again.

Free climber, bouldering, hikers, climber or mountaineering except regularly mastering their technical skill and knowledge of the topographic, climate ..etc; they have also more concern on self-consciousness of their own emotion, physical as well as psychological condition on the D-days of their expedition.
By ignoring the non technical matter of their personals strengths and weakness aspect, the probability to beat the Nature is only utopia and actually they are not get ready for it. To my opinion it were actually the highest most important parts of skillfully extremes/dangerous sports arts and it should not comparable with any non outdoors sports.

Every every climbers have never been satisfied only by one mountain; they always desperate to search new experiences to beat a new highest or dangerous ones. And only The Diamond People are the real master who know who is he and how he could bring it within environment of the object he will be beat; and in most expedition kinds of man will always survive.

The Creationist Mountaineering:

Megawati have a thoughts that she have already reach the highest mountain in her political career and the next important thighs is to prepare the safely downhill journey, and it was done seamlessly. That was also correct action, all of high climbers would said Amen for this saying, since all the mount climber always want to beat new Mountain and it should always be more highest or more dangerous Mountain. For that matter every mount climber always preparing himself to their next journey much better and much carefully. It's also the reason why in every epics of wayang puppets shadow play have starting with the Gunungan or Mountain figure that reflected in a kinds of the tree of life represented the the world of nature created by God. In which in nature always indicated of perpetual harmony of struggle between the good and the bad ,no matter how many our the Dalangs performing this narration but in most epics the good always championed the victory over the bad ones.

Happy Weekend

ABOUT THE PICS:

My first early time visits to Penatran was in 1976's and that was the time after the Mounth Agung made his big eruption, my last visits was almost around 10 years ago that also the time as mount Agung have small activities; but Potala in Tibet is the places I've never been visited :-).
I just compiled Potala and Penatran since both are erected on the mountain, and the mountain are near the highest mountain on the regions.Penatran is near of Mount Agung and Potala near to Everest.But both creator or architech only want to build the Temple on the highest and stable ground.It also the same cases with machu pichu or any other Baumaster works.

Top Of The Worlds - The Carpenters

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

Reff:
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

The Crystal Ships

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I’d like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We’ll meet again, we’ll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You’d rather cry, I’d rather fly
