Does The Shopping Culture Always Bad?
The growing of this shopping culture makes money rule the world. Makes people rule by the money. In my opinion, it due to all people needs are individual responsibility. The impact of this individual responsibility are various. Among other things, first economical aspect growing fast, easily and widely. Second, money becomes people main aim. Third, money rule all people aspect easily.
Therefore, I conclude nowadays money rule the world. I appeal people to defend themselves against the bad impact of this money, in order not being ruled. So, to against the bad impact, we should defense our self by minimizing visiting the shopping center and don't be consumptive.
If I were a nobel prize winner, what would I spend the prize money?
A lot earn us [do/conduct] if we get prize money, but everybody [do] not can use better.
Because money very influence somebody life.
If only we get prize money, we wish to make happy family, especially parent, because important them so central in our life and they will always live [in] our liver.
Later;Then we will use to more improve;repair our own life, so that we [do] not encumber parent again although only whereas.
Afterwards we will try to use [it] better perhaps in the case of which are positive. Especially in improve;repairing life of people [of] a lot of, for example : giving contribution to one who unable to, especially for children of public road [of] because them of nation router. Later;Then we will make reformatory in order to those who don't have residence earn fair life in place.
We will not use [it] just to our own importance but for the sake of others also.
.................................????
This question is already general in our ears, because lots of people has asked this question., lots had answered it, and still feel confused with this question. Anyway, we could ask this question to our self, because this question will give different answer from the person who answered it.
One of our friends answer is."Not only money that brings happiness. But I need happiness from my family and friends that understand me the way I am."
But the truth is, there is still so much who finds happiness with money. And sometimes they use the wrom why like corruption, nepotisme, contulusion, even stealing. They could do anything to get happiness that they feel if they have lots of money.
Even thougt, I think is not only money that could bring happiness. There are lots of things that could bring happiness. Even ever listening, much parents which willing to sell only child for invent meet. Money and much adolescent right now which consent to sell price self only on money, even proof that can we took with clear at we around.
Conclude is hout to look way matter return again to till self we alone which to do or to treat money that with reflection which straight and positive not to reflection self alone but to reflection person other which we below.

Rendang the Traditional Food
Rendang is made from beef (or occasionally chicken, mutton, water buffalo meat or vegetables like jackfruit or cassava) slowly cooked in coconut milk and spices for several hours until almost all the liquid is gone, leaving the meat coated in the spicy condiments. The cooking process transitions from boiling to frying as the liquid is evaporated. The spices may include ginger, galangal, turmeric leaf, lemon grass and chillies. The slow cooking process allows the meat to absorb all the spices and to become tender.
There are two kinds of rendang: dried and wet. Dried rendang can be kept for 3–4 months, and it is for ceremonial occasions or to honor guests. Wet rendang, also known as kalio, can be found in Minangkabau restaurants and without refrigeration it should be consumed within a month.
Rendang is often served with rice in Indonesia but in Malaysia it is served with ketupat (a compressed rice cake) and lemang (glutinous rice barbecued in bamboo tubes).

History of minangkabau
The Minang lived in three valleys, each valley being ruled by a different leader. Their power reached as far as Batak regions and Rajang. The central Minang government lasted until the end of 18th century when the wealth of the gold mines was exhausted and the miners had to find other work. This work was found in the direction of coffee, salt, textiles and gambir (a superior vegetable tannin which proved to be an improvement on the original Chinese product). Islamic traders from the beginning of the Islamic reformation controlled the trade. Kings, Queens and other secular leaders who refused to follow the Paderi (religious leaders) were conquered during this troubled period in what became known as the Paderi wars. The Islamic university is still called Paderi.In 1821, the Dutch secured their trade by making agreements with King Alam of Pagaruyung. The King gave them the Tanahdatar Valley in which they built Fort de Cock at Bukittingi. From there, they extended their power over the highlands.
The Paderi wars continued until 1837 at Bonjol, named after the most powerful Paderi leader, Imam Bonjol, where their power was broken.From the beginning of the 20th century West Sumatra played an important role in modernizing Islam, especially in improving education for women. In the twenties many a well-educated student was frustrated by the lack of work. In 1926 the students, with the aid of the Communists, started a rebellion; many rebels were put into Dutch jails in New Guinea, Irian Jajah.
After the Second World War, during the independence struggle, Bukittingi briefly became the capital city of Indonesia; after the Dutch captured Sukarno it was the temporary refuge of the Government. On 1st. January 1950 Sumatra became a province of the newly independent Republic of Indonesia.

He was orginally from West Sumatra. "Tuanku Imam Bonjol" is a title, which was given to religious teachers in Sumatra. Imam Bonjol's real name is Peto Syarif Ibnu Pandito Bayanuddin. He was the most popular leader of the Padri movement in Sumatra, which orginally opposed gambling, cockfighting, the use of opium, strong drink, tobacco, etc., but eventually included resistance toward the Dutch, which resulted in the Padri Wars (1821-1838). In 1837, Imam Bonjol's village was taken over by the Dutch, and Imam Bonjol eventually surrendered. He was exiled to several places in Indonesia with the last place of exile being Minahasa. He is recognized as a national hero.
A Sumatran-style building covers Imam Bonjol's final resting place. In it is his grave, as well as a relief depicting him in the Padri Wars. To the side of this building is the original house where Imam Bonjol lived during his exile.

My City Bogor
Bogor city has a very long history in government administration remind since Pajajaran Imperium Age, history evidence just like written on Batu Tulis epigraphy, those village names such Lawanggintung,Lawang Saketeng, Jerokuta, Baranangsiang and LeuwiSipatahunan, convinced that Pakuan as the capital of Pajajaran placed in Bogor City.

Till now, June 3rd acknowledged as Bogor City anniversary,because since 1973 both district parliaments (DPRD) of Bogor Regency and Bogor City decided the date to be celebrated every year.
As the battled effect of Banten's army to Pakuan Pajajaran, the documents of Pakuan had been vanished.

The gemeente establishment were not the native interest for, but to the Netherlands and Europe community and the similarity community (Dutchs always be the Burgermeester of Staatsgemeente Buitenzoorg and just on 1940 occupied by native was Mr. Soebroto).
On 1922, as result of unsatisfied about the desentralization role, composed Bestuursher Voorings Ordonantie or State Structure Revision Act of Netherlands Indies (Staatsblad 1922 No. 216), so that still on 1922 Regentschaps Ordonantie (Regency Ordinance) formed.
