By Java coffee... it sounds a bit redundant, doesn't it? Many people call coffee java, just like they may say they want a cup of joe. In reality, Java coffee refers to coffee grown on the island of Java, the largest island in Indonesia. Java coffee was so popular and was exported around the world, that many Americans just used the term 'java' as slang to mean coffee in general. And there is good reason for that. The history of Java coffee is a long one. The Dutch brought coffee to Java in the 17th century, and it has been a major export for Indonesia ever since. They planted Arabica beans, but a coffee rust plague wiped many of the coffee plants out in the 1800s. The Dutch replaced them with...

Lost in Translation. Websites, reports, business proposals - all can be full of good information, clear argument and inspiring design. And all can fail totally in their basic purpose if their language is faulty in some way. That's because we automatically devalue the work that went into a badly written piece, even if it's only the language that is at fault. A badly written piece makes us uneasy about product quality, customer service or a host of other important features of the company concerned. Now- which language can you be most confident of writing well? Scarcely anyone in the world can be totally confident in any but their mother tongue. Indeed many of us find that even the language of our...

What's a hook and why does it matter? Here's the short answer. The title of your book, article, speech or sales ad is a hook and it's designed to grab the attention of your reader. The longer and more appropriate answer is that a hook is the single most important piece of text you write to get people to read your book, article, speech or sales ad. Your hook is everything. If your hook does not immediately grab the attention of your reader, nothing else matters. Let me explain. Joe Sugarman, the author of "Triggers," is recognized as one of the nation's top copywriters. According to Joe, the purpose of your hook is to get the reader to read the next line of text. Period.

In the beginning of the year, all eyes were on Japan but the Nikkei 225 has been a major disappointment down 6% so far this year. Meanwhile China has done well and Indonesia is the Asia-Pacific region's stock best market this year up 27% this year. This is despite another punishing tsunami and concerns about bird flu.

Guam was first discovered and inhabited by sea-faring people who came from Asia (possibly Indonesia or the Philippines), around about 2000 BC. These people, the Chamorros, developed a complex society, and traded with other islands in Micronesia. On March 6th, 1521, the first Europeans arrived: Ferdinand Magellan's ships, on their expedition to circumnavigate the globe. The Chamarros natives of the islands welcomed the Spanish with food and drink. The Chamarros expected to be paid, whereas the Europeans believed these supplies to be gifts, so the Chamarros stole iron from the decks of the Spanish ships. The Spanish retaliated by killing several islanders and burning homes. Magellan consequently named...

Tin is obtained from a mineral called cassiterite which is mined in Brazil, Bolivia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Peru. The Cornish mines in Britain were almost wiped during the price collapse in 1985. Cassiterite is basically tin oxide and needs to be smelted before use. The cassiterite is smelted into metal by reducing it with carbon in a big furnace called the reverbratory furnace in temperatures in excess of 1200 degrees Celsius. The reverbratory furnace is a special furnace that isolates the tin oxide being smelted from the fuel that is powering the furnace. The hot gases that result from the burning of the fuel are the ones that are acting on the tin oxide. The challenge in smelting...

The history of Malay language is divided intofour periods : Old Malay, Early Modern Malay, Late Modern Malay and Contemporary Malay.The above divisions excludes inconclusive "scholarly" debates pertaining to pre-historic Malay in which diverse origins of Austronesian speakers,from which Malay is derived, are proposed. Old Malay ( 682 -1500 C.E.) begins with records of poems and thoughts on writing materials made from plants described as the sharp cursive Rencong, an ancient script believed to be native to South-east Asia. Unfortunately no evidence from that early period survived. When the Indians set their feet on the Malay Archipelago, they brought along Vatteluttu or Pallava, an ancient...

Once you have had enough of yet another overly sweet, messy slop of phad thai, it is time to explore the never-ending possibilities of Thai cuisine. When asked what they like most about Thailand, visitors often answer 'the food'. The creation of Siam servings is a masterful mix of salty, sweet, sour, spicy and bitter. The spice factor, often too much for most westerners, is used for medicinal purposes, combined with the use of market fresh...

The many theological hypotheses and theories regarding the survival of consciousness are without a basis from the scientific standpoint. Orthodox science even look askance towards the findings of parapsychology. Accounts such as Near-Death Experience, spontaneous past life recall, hypnotic regressions, Out-of-the-Body Experience, and psychic phenomena in general seemingly point to the immortality of the soul; however, conventional science still find such occurrences inconclusive.
