Rainy season un-ending

Whether the person who dreamed of when the rain came?

In Indonesia that have enough rainfall, I think have sensation distinctive sense of meaning when the rain came. Rain can have any meaning blessing, signs, disaster, or anything about the season. Indonesia has a lot of self belief about the rain and have a way to thanking to the gods. Many traditional ceremony be held in every place island, mountain, the belief place any where.

In Yogyakarta, as Mataram Kingdom has Becekan ceremony, also called Memetri Kali, which means maintaining or improving the river environment, the form asks for the rain ceremony during the dry season which lasts in Kalurahan Kepuharjo, Cangkringan District, Sleman regency. River water is very important for the local people for agricultural purposes. Perhaps after the ceremony is usually held immediately rain down into the ground so that tarnish so ago called becekan. Becekan defined as offering berujud goat meat cooked in a curry.

In the context of the age and climate that can not be predicted, the rains become big problems. Of course this is a big disaster when the rain came. we equally aware that logging has occurred in the wild and damage the environment.

Then how do we face the rain?

Indonesia

The Republic of Indonesia (pronounced /ˌɪndoʊˈniːziə/ or /ˌɪndəˈniːʒə/) (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia), is a transcontinental country in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Comprising 17,508 islands, it is the world's largest archipelagic state. With an estimated population of around 237 million people,^[3] it is the world's fourth most populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority nation; however, no reference is made to Islam in the Indonesian constitution. Indonesia is a republic, with an elected legislature and president. The nation's capital city is Jakarta. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Malaysia. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trade region since at least the seventh century, when the Srivijaya Kingdom traded with China and India. Local rulers gradually adopted Indian cultural, religious and political models from the early centuries CE, and Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished. Indonesian history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Muslim traders brought Islam, and European powers fought one another to monopolize trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku during the Age of Discovery. Following three and a half centuries of Dutch colonialism, Indonesia secured its independence after World War II. Indonesia's history has since been turbulent, with challenges posed by natural disasters, corruption, separatism, a democratization process, and periods of rapid economic change.

Across its many islands, Indonesia consists of distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. The Javanese are the largest and most politically dominant ethnic group. As a unitary state and a nation, Indonesia has developed a shared identity defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a majority Muslim population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka tunggal ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country. However, sectarian tensions and separatism have led to violent confrontations that have undermined political and economic stability. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world's second highest level of biodiversity. The country is richly endowed with natural resources, yet poverty is a defining feature of contemporary Indonesia.

Google's clean energy plan

Right now the U.S. has a very real opportunity to transform our economy from one running on fossil fuels to one largely based on clean energy. We are developing the technologies and know-how to accomplish this. We can build whole new industries and create millions of new jobs. We can reduce energy costs, both at the gas pump and at home. We can improve our national security. And we can put a big dent in climate change. With strong leadership we could be moving forward on an aggressive but realistic time line and an approach that balances costs with real economic gains.
