In the aftermath of the deadly collapse of the Situ Gintung sluice gate and embankment in Cireundeu, Tangerang, a joint search and rescue team scoured the area devastated by the dam burst on Saturday, recovering more bodies and bringing the death toll to 91.
Coordinator of the police post at STIE Ahmad Dahlan, Comr. Dahlan said that the teams had found 33 bodies as of Saturday evening.
Dahlan, however, said that the team found it difficult to identify the bodies recovered from the thick mud and building rubble.
“Many victims are not registered by our neighborhood unit because they were university students who rented rooms in the neighborhood,” Bejo, an official of the severely-damaged neighborhood unit (RT) 04, said.
The police said they were still searching for 73 people reportedly missing from the 15-minute disaster.
More than 1,000 search and rescue team members would keep searching for victims every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a week.
“Then, we will use backhoes and bulldozers to clean up the rubble,” Tangerang military commander Lt. Col. Joni Abdi said, as quoted by Vivanews.com.
The dam burst, triggered by torrential rains on Friday evening, had flatted 319 homes, schools and a university campus. More than 500 residents became homeless and were staying at temporary shelters erected at several locations around the disaster area.
“So far, we’ve got enough food. But, we don’t have clothes to change into or clean water to take a shower,” said Sarminah, a resident of RT 01, who has been residing in the area for eight years.
But, another victim, Supriyati, a mother of two, said what she wants most is a new house.
“What we are thinking right now is about our house. The walls are all crushed although my house still has the pillars,” she said.
Most residents whose homes were swamped with water during the flash flood were seen cleaning up debris and mud from their homes on Saturday.
“We have decided to move to a safer location. For the time being, we will rent a house ,” said children’s rights activist Seto Mulyadi.
The flash flood, called by residents a ‘mini-tsunami’, had swept through Seto’s house and damaged five cars and one motorcycle, along with important documents.
Saturday’s massive clean-up and search, however, was slowed by an influx of unwanted visitors as thousands of people who came to see the area.
“We had to ask the people that came for ID. We didn’t want any thieves coming to loot valuables from abandoned houses,” said Denny, one of the locals who asked every visitor to show their ID.
“We have seen the disaster on TV, but we want to see it directly with our own eyes,” Tajudin, a resident of Palmerah, West Jakarta, said. Tajudin and some of his neighbors came to the site on motorcycles and said they also wanted to see the rescue team searching for victims.
An official with the Public Affairs Ministry, Widagdo, said that the ministry would not immediately rebuild the collapsed embankment.
“We will instead make a temporary 2-kilometer canal to let the Situ Gintung lake water flow into the Pesanggrahan River below, to ease the pressure on the lake and prevent any further collapses,” Widagdo said.
Separately, Golkar Party chairman Jusuf Kalla handed down some Rp 1 billion (US$60,846) in donations for the victims through Banten Governor Ratu Atut Chosiyah at the party’s campaign in Jakarta. (iwp)

Lights out tonight
If you care for Earth, switch off your lights for one hour from 8.30 p.m. You will be joining an expected one billion people around the world in the Earth Hour movement to make a case for concrete action to spare the planet from the menace of global warming. Jakarta, courtesy of Governor Fauzi Bowo, will be one of 1,539 cities from 80 countries, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), that will participate in this global community movement to press their case. Although this is expected to be an annual event, this year is important because a new protocol on global warming should be put in place before 2010. World governments are still ironing out remaining differences on a new document to replace the Kyoto Protocol before they head to their final round in Copenhagen in December. Our action tonight will send a message to global leaders to get their acts together. Indonesia has invested considerably in the process, having hosted one of the international climate change meetings in Bali in 2007. While our participation tonight may seem to be a token gesture - a mere one hour without a light in one evening a year - the WWF Indonesia has come up with interesting figures to show that our action goes beyond symbolic.
Assuming everyone in Jakarta heeds the call, the action represents a saving of 300 megawatts, enough to give one power plant a rest and light up 900 villages; it amounts to a saving of Rp 200 million (US$17,248) in electricity bills in Jakarta; it reduces 284 tons of carbon dioxide; it saves more than 284 trees; and it produces oxygen for more than 568 people. Jakarta has an obligation to take part in this global movement, not because it is the capital city, but because it is the biggest user of the national electricity supply. Its 10 million population, or less than five percent of the national total, accounts for one fifth of the national electricity usage. This gross imbalance puts the onus on we Jakartans to show that we do care about Earth, and that we are willing to put these concerns into action when asked to. Just for tonight, we should put our general election concerns aside and follow the WWF message: Vote Earth.

The various benefits of using unconventional and natural sources of energy
The various benefits of using unconventional and natural sources of energy
Everyone knows that the conventional sources of energy are depleting fast from the earth. The environment has been damaged by the over use of fossil fuels and global warming is giving the scientists sleepless nights. That is why the researchers and scientists are trying to devise new ways of producing environment friendly energy.
As a matter of fact, there are certain obvious advantages of using solar power. Unlike the fossil fuels the solar energy is not going to come to an end. Besides, people do not have to pay for sunlight. Even the catholic Churches are using solar energy, the biggest example being the Vatican. With time the appliances running on solar energy are getting more compact and user friendly. Thus the home owners have more choices in their hands.
A solar energy system does not need prolonged maintenance after installation. The photovoltaic cells can last up to 30 years. A residential solar power system also does not cause any pollution and create any waste material. These devices also do not put the health of the users at risk.
The conventional fuels like Petrol and diesel have played a significant role in damaging the environment. The issues like global warming and ozone layer erosion has become the buzzword in the researcher community. Therefore many companies and entities are trying to develop devices and appliances that can run on solar energy.
Another natural force that can be used to generate electricity at home is wind. The wind powered homes still need some amount of power from conventional electric supply. However those who use these devices need to pay low electricity bills. If a person lives in a region that has high wind speeds he should buy the wind driven electricity generation devices. However for installing these wind based electricity generation devices one requires a lot of space.
The wind powered homes do not cause any pollution as well. If a lot of people switch to the wind energy the conventional fossil fuel driven production units may become redundant in the future. This will help people in making the earth a better place for living for the next generations. The car companies are already doing their bit. Some of the popular car manufacturers have introduced the hybrid cars in the market. They consume less fuel and makes use of water or bio diesel. Similarly people can switch to using alternative environment friendly energy at their homes.
At the early stage the switchover may be a little difficult. But the heartening thing is that many governments and companies are promoting the solar and wind energy driven products more than ever before. The installation cost of the wind turbines can be steep but the running cost is minimal. The domestic wind machines are not noisy at all and so one need not bother about sound pollution either. The system also works fine with the existing wiring and one need not replace his wiring system.

Hydrogen Gas Savers - Hydrogen Powered Cars
Hydrogen powered cars are essentially vehicles which use hydrogen as fuel to power the motor. The term hydrogen powered car may refer to any type of vehicle which uses hydrogen for transportation purposes, which includes both personal automobiles and aircraft carriers.
How do hydrogen powered cars work?
The power for hydrogen powered cars is obtained by converting the chemical energy properties found in hydrogen into mechanical energy. This conversion is accomplished in two different ways. The first method, combustion, burns the hydrogen in the engine in essentially the same way as regular petrol or gasoline powered cars. The second method, fuel-cell conversion, causes a chemical reaction in the hydrogen to create electricity. The hydrogen is introduced to oxygen, which changes its chemical composition into water and electricity. The newly converted electricity is then utilized to propel and power the motor.
What type of vehicles can run on hydrogen?
A host of different modes of transportation can use hydrogen power. Many different vehicles, such as rockets, high-speed cars, submarines, airplanes, ships, wheelchairs, motorcycles, golf carts, cargo bikes, PHB bicycles, trains, and buses already operate using this source of energy in various ways, often at a high cost. Recently, NASA chose to use hydrogen in the launching of Space Shuttles and of course regular cars and trucks as well. You can convert your car to run on water. With this new fuel technology, people saving hundreds of dollars every month. Another advantages are: eliminates harmful exhaust emission that pollute the environment and contribute to global warming, enhance engine power and performance, remove carbon deposits, reduce the operating temperature of the engine, calmer, quieter and much smoother engine operation, improves your gas mileage by up to 35%. Imagine how much money this would save you at the end of the month!
Virtually any car or truck on the road today can be converted from a traditional gas-guzzling model to an efficient, hydrogen gas saver with little effort. Some companies today offer conversion kits for the consumer or hobbyist who chooses to convert their own vehicles. A working system can be built at home with basic hand tools for 20$-100$, can be installed in minutes and removed in seconds.
The internet is flooded with reports of satisfied individuals, who disclose their gas savings, their mileage calculations, the ease or difficulty in making the conversion, and how the new conversion has or has not helped them, the latter being due primarily to incorrect placement of system equipment or improper driving practices.

If you are going to write your newsletters in bullets, you can swear that readers glance it in one seating.
Likely, the most important part of a newsletter is the Subject Line. The subject line needs to be convincing and enchanting to them.
For example, if your message introduces someone who is your marketing consultant and his name is Rafael Thomas. You can write "You Must Help Rafael!" as your subject line and once people glance your message, they might think of Rafael Nadal, the great tennis player from Spain.
Next, instantly strike your readers with a mind-blowing headline. The headline may be written in a form of a statement, a question, or a famous quote.
After the headline is the content. The content further explains your headline. It elaborates the raises the question why. Why should the people buy the product?

Stages of Selling
Due to the fact the amount of sales depend on the number of people who buy your product, this is the surpassing reason why you are campaigning.
According to Laurence Ainsworth, there are five stages in sales. Stage one is the Icebreaker (the building unity stage) then it sails through the next stage, the Opening (outlining the issues). Stage three centers on questioning.
Questions revolve around 5W's and a H. Instead of asking, "did you buy this machine?," convert this into, "Why did you buy this machine?" The strategy is, start a question and look into the uncovered issues.
The fourth stage is the Close. After covering the issues, single out the important points and give possible solutions to each. This is the stage where the clients thinks and may come up with the final answer later on.

You can use this song if you have special events to form such as symposiums or general assemblies. I'm sure many people will get the hang of your niche if you give them something to listen over and over again.
This may be the reason why Obama won the US presidential election. He convinced his African-American society to sing for him. Usher Raymond, the man behind the phenomenal 2004 album "Confessions," expressed his full loyalty to Obama by singing a campaign song entitled Hush.

Myth 8: Hot Paper on energy is much better than recycling. Paper can be recycled again and again several times. This saves trees, water, energy and reduce pollution and increase the value of recycling.
Myth 9: recycling paper damages the environment. Ultimately, recycling store environment by saving trees, water and energy. However, there is produced by recycling sludge as in raw paper production. Most non-toxic sludge tests, but the toxic sludge may be disposed of.
Myth 10: Buy recycled paper, not really helping the environment. This is perhaps the biggest myth of all. Paper that goes to landfills produce large quantities of methane gas. This helped to global warming. Environmental Protection Agency reported that virgin paper decomposition in the landfill is one of the largest sources of methane. Furthermore, production of recycled paper saves energy, water, pollution and reduces pressure on our dwindling forests.

Myth 5: Poor quality of recycled paper creates Paper jams in the machines. You should have no problem finding quality recycled paper is used in printers, fax machines Copiers and other equipment. Whether using recycled paper or paper virgin key is to get the right paper for the task (for example, copier paper for copier).
Myth 6: The fibers in recycled paper create excessive dust, which can damage machinery. This is not only recycled paper question. Whether you choose recycled paper or virgin paper, be sure to use high-quality paper to reduce the frequency of dust.
Myth 7: Tree-free and chlorine-free recycled paper is the best. This is an example of abuse of definitions. "Tree Free" refers to an alternative source of fiber such as hemp, cotton or kenaf, which is used to manufacture the paper. "Chlorine Free" refers to the process of bleaching. These terms are not directly related to recycling. Most recycled paper, however, are classified as processed chlorine-free (PCF), which makes them environmentally friendly way in this further.

These terms are not directly related to recycling. Most recycled paper, however, are classified as processed chlorine-free (PCF), which makes them environmentally friendly way in this further.
