SULAWESI : A total of 7,000 mosquito nets for
babies has been sent to Majene and Mamasa
regencies in West Sulawesi to prevent a
malaria outbreak, an official says.
The mosquito nets were distributed to
women who had just delivered babies to
prevent them from contracting the disease,
Dr. Achmad Azis said Sunday in Mamuju.
The two regencies were categorized as
yellow zones, meaning the spread of malaria
in these areas was alarming.
Before they become red sones, we should do
something to reduce the number of malaria
patients, Achmad said.
This year, the provincial government in
cooperation with the Global Fund (a global

to families in Mamuju and North Mamuju
regencies, which were already categorized as

More than 250 known disease can be
transmitted through food. It is estimated
that unknown or undiscovered agent

Ujian Nasional

cause 68% of all food-borne illness and

related hospitalizations. Many cases of food
poisoning are not reported because people
suffer mild symptoms and recover quickly.
Also, doctors do not test for a cause in every
suspected case because it does not change
the treatment or the outcome.
The known causes of food poisoning can
be divided into two categories: infectious
agents and toxic agents. Infections agents
include viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
Toxic agents include poisonous mushrooms,
improperly prepared exotic foods (such as
barracuda ciguatera toxin) or pesticides on
fruits and vegetables.
Food usually becomes contaminated from
poor sanitation or preparation. Food handlers
who do not wash their hands after using the
bathroom or have infections themselves often
cause contamination. Improperly packaged
food stored at the wrong temperature also
promotes contamination.

It was a summer night. I was not asleep

my ceiling when I heard what I thought was
something at my window. I was always scared
of nonsense things from watching to many
horror movies, so I was reluctant to look
through my window shades into the night.
The noise continued as I just stared at
the closed window shades. It sounded like
scratching or dull scraping. I tried to ignore
it and lay down, but it continued, getting
louder and louder. I know that it was not a
dream because I was fully conscious and even
pinched myself so hard I had a welt the next
day.
Anyway, I gathered all of my courage and
crept slowly to my window. I held my finger
out and raised one of the blinds. I had my
eyes closed doing this. I opened my eyes and
looked out. My eyes met another pair of eyes.
What I saw will haunt me for all of my life. It
was about 15 feet away from my window. It
was a naked dark grey creature about 3 to 4
feet tall.
I immediately shut the blind and run
out of my room. I was in the hallway when
something strange happened. I was running
when my eyes rolled up in to my head and
all I saw black. The next thing I knew was
facedown in my bed.

Organic gardening has taken hold of
many people in recent decades and many
people believe that organic gardening is
truly the way to go for their food, plants,
and overall health. However, there are both
disadvantages and advantages to organic
gardening.
There are many benefits that are
experienced by those who have taken on hits

organically. For example, organic foods do

stay fresh for longer periods of time and it
also does not take much money for them to

There are also disadvantages of
organic gardening though. Compared with
industrialized gardening methods, using
organic gardening methods take much
more time and skill. There is also more
interaction between the plants, gardens, and
the organic gardener, whereas the gardener
takes very little action with industrialized
methods. But, the amount of time it takes
to grow foods industrially compared with
organic methods is not the only downside.
Another disadvantage to organic gardening
is that these gardeners are usually not able
to use genetically modified food crops. But
genetically modified, or GM, food crops are
able to resist pests, which is major plus for
industrialized and conventional gardens.
All in all, there are many advantages and
disadvantages to organic gardening. But
organic or not, a lot of it is dependent upon
your preference and choices.
