Nature Conservation For Sustainable Life

The benefits provided by natural ecosystems are both widely recognized and poorly understood. What is increasingly clear, however, is that natural ecosystems are under enormous pressure around the world from growing demand place on them by human economic. Growth of human populations and prosperity translate into increased of conversion of natural ecosystem to intensive agricultural, industrial or residential use, but also into increased demand for ecosystem inputs such as fresh water, fiber, soil fertility, as well as increased pressure on capacity of natural ecosystem to assimilate our waste, including air and water pollution as well as solid waste. In short, we are asking more and more from natural ecosystems even we reduce their capacity to meet our need.

It is also the fact, that poverty is major problem in developing world. Responding the poverty issues as well as the need and aspiration of growing population is important for societal goal. Recognising that the most poverty is rural, as are most protected and conservation areas, a relationship between poverty and environmental sustainability is an intimate one. The primary goal of most protected areas is to conserve biological diversity and provide ecosystem services, not to reduce poverty. However, examination of the linkages between environmental conservation efforts and poverty in developing countries has become practical and ethical necessity. Practical, because to survive, conservation areas in poorest nations must be seen as a land-use option that contributes as possitively to sustainable development as other types of land use. And ethical, because human rights and aspirations need to be incorporated into natural and global conservation strategies, if social justice is to be realised. The community-based environmental conservation project is based on idea that if conservation and development can be simultaneusly achieved, then interests of both could be served. The community-based environmental conservation is also practical model of sustainable development. The increasing global concerns on poverty reduction such as Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), the practical model of sustainable development is not only important but also urgent. The translation of framework of MDGs from global principle to local practical is key for achieving significants global effort to reduce poverty, especially in developing world.

A Moment To Consider Being Nature

In a world where everyone is so busy and nobody has time to stop and think, never mind to think about themselves, we have many questions we should be asking ourselves. Why do we just keep going as if all that matters is accumulation and driving the consumer way of life ? When are we going to stop and take stock? Think about what we are doing to ourselves and the planet? And not just pay it lip service… actually stop and think seriously… take the time to consider fully what impact is being had on our bodies, our minds, our homes, our lives and the world we live in. Let’s face it, if we leave it too long, it will be too late.

Some might say it’s already too late. In some respects, it is too late. Too late for the years that have passed where no action has been taken. Too late to stop many thousands of tonnes of rubbish and refuse being dumped onto the soil from which we live. Too late to stop the existence of the hole in the ozone layer.

Maybe we can’t stop planes taking off and the motorways pumping goods vehicles round the body of the planet, but we can change ourselves, and one thing at a time, no matter how big or small, we can all make a difference. And let’s face it, in the main, the real reason why most people do things is to be selfish. So start by being selfish if that’s what motivates you! Everybody is different, an individual who’s individual thoughts and opinions matter. Therefore who has the right to claim the moral ground and tell everybody else that they are committing sins against the earth for this and crimes against humanity for that? Nobody.

What drives each of us is what makes us and survival is the most basic instinct there is. The fact that humans are probably as far removed from their natural instincts as they possibly could be is irrelevant. We exist, we occupy the planet, and we all have as much right to be here as the next person. So why do we all get so hung up on what we do, who we are and what everyone else is doing? OK, so our own lives get a bit boring from time to time with the drudgery of work and the pressure of bills and the credit crunch and so on and so forth. But doesn’t that all get a bit tiring after a while hearing the same old excuses…? If you are unhappy, fed up or bored, why look to other people’s lives for entertainment? Even if you do find pleasure there it will be short lived and before long you’ll be looking for the next thing to occupy your tired mind.

People have lost touch with who they are. They get stuck doing the same things day in day out. It becomes a routine. And all too often, the feelings, the boredom, the lack of energy and apathy that is borne from it become a habit too. If people were happier to be themselves and accept themselves for who they are, with their weaknesses seen as being as much a part of what makes them them, as the strengths of which they are usually so proud. People would not feel so much of a need to accumulate ‘things’ to give themselves status and social standing. The pressure to earn more money to spend on better cars and plasma tvs, high heels and designer clothes would not control people’s lives. People would be free to spend money on better quality food and give themselves a better level of health and more enjoyment from their food as a result. They would begin to rediscover the things that truly matter in life. Living.

It has always been said that the best things in life are free. Now the more cynical among us may well pipe up at this point and ask what exactly is free in the current climate of rising food, petrol and energy prices.

But what of walking along a beach with the sand between your toes and the wind in your hair? The sound of waves breaking on the shore… or crashing over rocks. What about the exhilarating feeling of climbing to the top of a hill or a mountain and looking down upon the rest of the world going about its business? What of bird song? Or watching bumblebees buzzing between flowers? Curling up in a favourite spot and reading a book. A place in the sun in the summer, a comfy perch by a fire in the winter. Campfires and singing with friends… playing along on a guitar or a drum. Sitting and chatting for hours on end about something… or about nothing. Making daisy chains. Collecting pine cones and conkers…

Funny how so many things sound like the sorts of things we would do as children. You would think we’d grow as adults, but so many people seem to contract. How many people would climb a tree if they were under the age of 10 unless they were fueled by alcohol or showing off to mates? As a child you’d climb a tree to feel on top of the world. Kids roll down hills and land in a bundle of laughter at the bottom… they jump in puddles and end up covered in splashes of rain water and mud and don’t care! They run into piles of leaves, scrunching and crunching and loving the sound and the feel of it… and when the snow falls they have snowball fights and make snow creatures and people and winged angels lie on the ground.

They have no worries. Not a care in the world. Maybe it’s because they’re innocent and growing up and becoming aware of the ways of the world are what take this away from us. Or maybe it’s what happiness is. Maybe we all need to learn to be children again…

Business Background Check

Background Checks: How They Can Help Better Protect Your Small Business Against Crime

If you run a small business, you've got a lot of worries. Besides all the normal concerns like competition and pricing and location and customer service... now security has become increasingly important. You face the threat of theft, fraud, embezzlement, scams... the list seems almost endless.

When you're in business, you can run up against...

- Suppliers who provide shoddy goods that you don't discover until after you've paid for them
- Customers whose orders you promptly fill but who wiggle out of paying
- Employees who rob you of everything from supplies and equipment to cash and services.

The Federation of Small Business - a British business group reported that over half (58%) of all small businesses in the UK suffered at least one crime during a recent two year period. They concluded:...

"Crime, and the fear of crime, can directly impact on day to day business activities. It can damage a business image, resulting in the loss of existing customers and deterioration in the quality and range of services offered by the business, which will limit turnover (profits) and
restrict business development."

When you run a small business, it's up to you to look out for your company. But how?

Background Search Services on the Web Provide an Economical Answer to Investigate.

Many of the problems that small businesses face in trying to deter crime can be helped with information available on the Internet. You can use 21st Century technology to get the better of the crooks and thieves and scam artists.

But if you're not familiar with whats available, you may not realize all the important things you can find out with a good background checking service.

It used to be expensive to check into someone's background to see if they were hiding anything. You had to hire a private detective or pay big bucks to an investigative agency. Not today - not with Internet databases so readily available to us. Some of the services are free. However, a business will benefit most from the more in-depth background checking services.

These higher quality services usually charge a fee to subscribe, but it's smaller than you'd expect - especially considering the volumes and usefulness of the information they provide. A year of service is often less than what you'd pay to bring in lunch for a staff meeting. Plus, the paid services are kept more up-to-date and are typically faster and easier to use.

Sometimes referred to as Internet Detective sites, or Personal Search sites, the website based services give you the low-down on all kinds of formerly-hidden information.

Here are the types of things you can and should be looking into for the protection of your business...

Criminal Background Checks

Any time your business is dealing with someone you don't know, you should run a quick check to see if they have any history of criminal activity. It's very simple to find out about:

- Criminal Records
- FBI Records
- Prison Records
- Sex Offender Status

You have access to their entire criminal history if there is one. With violence in the workplace such a major issue, a simple criminal check can be a very effective way to avoid problems before they happen.

Background Check for Employment (Pre-Employment Screening)

If you've got a small business, you should be pre-screening each person you consider hiring. No matter how professional, or how harmless, they appear.

A small print shop franchise in Florida hired an especially friendly fellow as their bookkeeper after the owner got too busy to handle it himself. The new employee didn't offer much in the way of references but he sounded like he knew what he was doing and - big plus - he agreed to work cheap. The owner figured he would save money hiring the guy. He figured wrong.

The bookkeeper drained more than a hundred thousand dollars out of the company before they found him out. Turned out he'd previously been charged with embezzlement. Something a criminal background check would have quickly turned up.

Background Check Existing Employees - Make it a Condition of Employment

You shouldn't check only new hires. Over time, employees can develop habits and get involved in activities you'd never suspect. So you should regularly check on existing employees. Note: this is something you should get legal advice for - but generally if it's a condition of employment and you let them know in writing, it's not invading privacy. You entrust employees with company funds or materials that can be stolen, or negotiating and purchasing power that can be abused. Keeping an eye on existing employees is just being prudent.

Too many small business owners think of their company as an extension of their family. They don't want to think ill of the people they give jobs to. Truth is, most employees are trustworthy. They just want to do a good job and get paid fairly - but they see you as the boss, not their daddy. Even in real families, the black sheep will have absolutely no conscience about turning your good will to their good fortune. Don't be so kindly that you end up getting taken for everything you own.

Background Check Each Company or Individual You Do Business With

You should investigate every supplier or contractor who serves your business. If the possibility of harm exists, then you need to know if someone you're in business with is likely to harm you. You can check credit, check backgrounds of the owners and managers, check the company itself for any past criminal or questionable activity.

Also check customers if your dealings with them permit. Most non-retail businesses will have the opportunity to look at their customer's backgrounds for any warning signs. Don't get left without payment for your products or services when a quick look up on the computer can resolve questions.

Check both suppliers and customers out. It's just good business.

Real Estate Business Transactions Are Often Easy Targets for Crime

Real Estate often involves significant investment, both initially and over time. Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, you need to check out those with whom you're doing business. Using a background check service, you can:

- Check Credit and determine if Social Security Numbers provided are valid
- Check Tenants for past problems or criminal activity
- Check Landlords for tenant actions against them or other legal problems

Charity and Other Community Support

Businesses frequently get called on to support their community. Charitable organizations often solicit donations, many times in sizable amounts. Before you give money freely to anyone, be sure they're legitimate by running a background check on their organization and the principals involved. Otherwise the help you think you're providing could turn around and hurt your business.

Final Word
Running a small business is more of a challenge today than ever before. Use online database search services to help you protect your business and keep you, your customers and your employees more secure.

A Guide to Outdoor Camping Equipment

The first thing you need before heading out on a camping trip is a tent. There are a multitude of selections available and you should have no trouble finding one that is right for you and your family or friends. They make them with multiple rooms, vestibules and various sizes that make it easy to find the one you need. Make sure to check out the reviews on each product to help you determine whether it is what you are looking for.

The next thing you will need is a cook stove. Many people do want to depend on a campfire to cook their food. Many things can go wrong including rain and cooking in the rain is not fun. There are various styles and models of cook stoves that you can purchase, from free standing to ones you sit on a table and use. Most are propane but there are a small selection of stoves that still use fuel or unleaded gas. You can choose from a single large burner to a double burner stove that would allow you to make breakfast and coffee at the same time.

Another important part of camping is your chairs. Many people are choosing to carry stadium chairs with them camping but these can be cumbersome to carry and some are rather heavy. You need a chair that you can sleep in as well as sit and relax in. The camping chairs that are on the market today allow you to sit upright or lounge in them as well as sleep in them. These are made of very lightweight aluminum so they are not heavy to carry or pack. These can also be used at sporting events, fishing or when you are out in the woods hunting.

Sleeping bags can be another difficult purchase. With the enormous selection of styles and designs, it is difficult to know what you actually need. One thing to consider when choosing a sleeping bag is if it will be used only in warm weather. Today they make sleeping bags that will keep you warm down to -20° C. This would be great for ice fishing or winter mountain climbing but for summer or fall camping you only need one that will keep you warm if the temperature drops below about fifty degrees. Many of the new ones are filled with goose down.

One final necessity is a lantern. Again, there are a great number of lanterns today are propane. Many are designed like the retro or vintage lanterns like you parents used. There are some manufacturers that make emergency lanterns and battery operated lanterns. The thing to remember is to get one that gives you enough light to maneuver around either in your tent or around your campsite at night.

Each of these necessities can be purchased at a local retailer or online. If you shop online don't forget to look at the reviews of each item to see what others think about the products and to get a good idea of how it functions.
In Indonesia, the Seller and the various adventures enough equipment such as Eiger, Consina and much more.

THE GREAT OUTDOOR ACTIVITY

The great outdoor

Being outdoors is good for everyone. The belief that everyone needs fresh air is very true. Indoors can be fun and entertaining, but people aren't made to spend all day inside! We didn't even have computers until the eighties, so obviously it isn't natural to be on one all day long. Everyone needs to spend a little time outside. You don't need to take a run, or a day-long trip to the mountains, but just getting outdoors is very important. If you are an adventurous person, doing things like Dirt Riding and Rafting is a lot of fun. Rafting can be a great way to mix up a humdrum routine of office work during the week and gardening on the weekends. It can be a fun, and somewhat nerve Tracking experience if it is your first time. It is an awesome way to bring families together in an exiting environment as well.

If you are going to spend a day on the water, you have to be prepared however. If you don't prepare yourself in the right way, you may be stuck in the middle of a stream hungry, wet, and sun burnt. Always bring a lunch or snacks. Water activities burn a good amount of calories and you will be hungry come lunch time. Don't over estimate the fact that you are sitting down either. Your face and arms and part of your legs will all be exposed to the sun. If you don't apply and reapply sunscreen, you will be very pink.

Also, you will want to pack all of your things in a water proof container. A gallon sized plastic bag would work or you could go the extra mile and buy a water-proof bag.

If you don't feel like you would be comfortable in the water, there are other fun outdoor sports to get involved in. Hiking may sound extreme, but in reality everyone can do it. All you need is a place to hike, and some minor equipment. I suggest getting hiking shoes but sneakers would also work fine, Depending on what type of hiking you are planning on doing and how serious you are about it, you may want to invest in a hiking pack. If you are going to be hiking all day long, you will want a place to store plenty of water, snack and sunscreen. Also, always take a cell phone and back up phone with you on major hiking excursions. Some people may also advise you to take a GPS or compass, but that is only relevant if you aren't taking a preset trail.

Everyone can find a niche outside. Whether it is walking, running, hiking, or being in the water; there is an activity for everyone. You may enjoy the exercise aspect of it, or the peacefulness of being in nature. Birdwatchers and extreme mountain climbers are all alike in the sense that they love the outdoors.

Outdoor Living As a Way to Connect With Nature

Outdoor living is something everyone should experience at least once or twice in their lifetime. It affords people a whole new perspective on the world we live in and our place in nature. It poses new challenges that make us stronger and better people as we overcome them.

In the past outdoor living was not something that people had to deliberately seek in order to experience the fullness of life. This is because the great outdoors was a necessary part of survival. This has remained true for people who earn their livings from agriculture. They still need to live close to the land in order to get it to yield crops reliably.

However, for most people living in industrialized societies, we tend to live very indoor existences. There is very little need to interact with the elements. It could be sub zero degrees temperature outside but we are able to move from our centrally heated homes to our warm cars and onto temperature regulated offices with hardly the need to wear particularly warm clothing.

One of the best ways to experience outdoor living in the modern age is to go camping. Camping is great fun and you get to feel a sense of oneness with nature when there is nothing between you and the elements except a canvas tent. The best time to go camping with your family is during the summer. Camping is a very cost effective vacation alternative and does not cost as much as other more expensive vacations. You can visit some of the most beautiful parts of the country and truly appreciate outdoor living.

One of the main activities on a camping holiday is walking. It is great exercise and nothing is more satisfying than walking through dramatic landscapes of exceptional beauty. It really renews a person's faith in the Ultimate Creator and helps one to appreciate that technology and stressful living is only a tiny part of reality.

Outdoor living for a while is a very good bonding activity. People should not try to be too up to date with their camping experience. It is highly recommended that you leave your portable DVD players and laptop computers at home. It is much more cohesive when the family gathers around the campfire singing songs or telling stories as a means of evening entertainment. It enhances communication when a couple work out a route together over a traditional map rather than leaving everything to technology.

The Failure of a success


A process of development is a healthy development that provides space for the communication of intelligent and free from various pressures so that the process and direction of development is the result of the reflection of the desire of a people who have agreed to live in a climate of democracy.

Advice a long time, said failure is the teachers who teach the maturity of life, so that failure is potentially promising in successed tomorrow. Indeed, this advice has double message, the message is that behind the success of the potential store always fail, because the higher the tree looking up at the blast faster the angina and the higher distance to fall down or possible.

Similar advice can be found in the wisdom in the Chinese Yin-Yang, that the movement of life is not always move forward but it is like a round wheel to scroll the various directions. Here the Yin-Yang invites us to see the issue of life and comprehensive dialectic. Life is completely linear, and always get the luxury of the protection of parents, that this social phenomenon is the adolescent the last decade, it appeared that not improve the quality of their lives, but even that is going mental and moral damage to them.

Is very different from the previous generation of the fighting spirit, the younger generation who are pampered by luxury materials is very low sense of social responsibility.

Social implications of the development of the less attention the principles of morality such as justice, honesty, democracy, and human rights as well as establishing a pole without a strong foundation. So it is suspected of building is very prone to shake-up earlier and not last long. History also records many stories of success and all this while

Only they can avoid the syndrome of "peak position" he will never fall, as they also avoid the trap from the "down position" and will never worry suppressed for the concept of top and bottom of the product is just a mere conjecture reasoning. Is not the greatness of Buddha Ghautama, Mahatma or Muhammad, for example, would release the spout when the golden throne?

Because people think and do is always limited by subjectivism perspective, the climate of democracy and consensus as far as discourse is considered best to find the format of political, economic, and cultural buildings and the way that a nation becomes steady. If the power of bureaucracy achieve victory with the expense of democracy, perhaps the only victory is all because when musculature buffering power was weak and tired a regime will crumble. The Failure of success - a success from failure, the striking paradox logic. Although so many historical record of events that really paradoxial.

Outdoor Adventure Definition

The following describes these two terms in more detail:

Definition of Outdoor Adventure.

Outdoor adventure can have many different definitions, but for the purposes of this investigation it is defined as largely non-motorized in nature. It involves little or no alteration of the environment. Outdoor adventurers live close to the environment and accept natural forces as part of the experience. Appreciation of the natural world is a part of the experience. Outdoor adventures take place primarily, but not exclusively in remote backcountry, wilderness and undeveloped areas. Such adventures do not involve man-against-man as in warfare. They do, however, often pit men and women against natural forces. Outdoor adventures under this limited definition are done for the hunger of adventure and not to obtain or pave the way for wealth, to conquer foreign lands or to secure religious converts. Examples of outdoor adventure endeavors include: arctic exploration, sailing journeys, rock climbing, mountaineering, cross-country and back-country skiing, backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater river running, and adventurous biking.

Modern Age of Adventure.
The term "Modern Age of Adventure" can be interpreted in different ways, but for the purposes of this study, it is defined as a period of time starting in the early to mid 1800s and extending to the present. From an historical perspective, the early and mid nineteenth century marks an important change in attitude about adventure and exploration. Not all, but most previous exploration was undertaken for exploitation. The Modern Age of Adventure begins when explorers went exploring for the sake of exploration—not for financial gain, not for colonial expansion, and not for the purpose of religious conversion. There always have been individuals in history who have been motivated purely by adventure, most certainly, but for the great bulk of explorers prior to the Modern Age of Adventure, other materialistic rewards loomed larger. The early 1800s represent a watershed, a turning of the tide.

Guideline To [What's a Safety Talk?]

What’s a safety talk?

A safety talk is a hands-on way to remind workers that health and safety are important on the job. afety talks deal with specific problems on the job site. They do not replace formal training. Through safety talks, you can tell workers about health and safety requirements for the tools, equipment, materials and procedures they use every day or for particular jobs. Each safety talk will take about five minutes to present. Why give a Safety Talk? In delivering safety talks, your objective is to help workers RECOGNIZE and CONTROL hazards in the workplace.Safety talks demonstrate the commitment of employers and workers to health and safety on the job.
You give safety talks because you are responsible for advising workers about any existing or possible danger to their health and safety. ou may be a supervisor, a health and safety representative, a member of the joint health and safety committee or anyone with health and safety duties.


What makes a Safety Talk work?

Choose talks that are relevant to the work being done. For example: the time to give a talk on temporary heating is before the cold season begins. Deliver the talk where it will be most appropriate. That could be the job office, out on the site or near the tools and equipment you are talking about. Introduce the subject clearly. Let workers know exactly what you are going to talk about and why it’s important to them. Refer to the safety talk for information, but, wherever possible, use your own words. Connect key points to things your crew is familiar with on the project.
Pinpoint hazards. Talk about what may happen. Use information from the safety talk to explain how to control or prevent these hazards. Wherever possible, use real tools, equipment, material and job site situations to demonstrate key points.
Ask for questions. Answer to the best of your knowledge. Get more information where necessary. Ask workers to demonstrate what they have learned.
Keep a record of each talk delivered. Include date, topic and names of attendees.

Remember!
The information you present in a safety talk may be the very piece of information the workers remember when they start to work with a particular tool, piece of equipment, type of material or work procedure on the project.
When choosing and presenting your talk, do everything you can to help workers remember and act on the message you deliver.

Youtube Tricks

If you have a camera and a computer that's connected to the Internet, you already have what it takes to create your own videos and upload them to YouTube.
However, as you tried you do it on your own, you find that you do not know where to start and there are some things that you're not sure of... Let me tell you this: It happens to all of us, everyone... me included!


It's Tough To Learn Something New...

Whenever I tried to pick up something new, it scares the wit out of me.
Believe it or not, even though I'm an experienced computer system integrator, I had to start reading all those help files and frequently asked questions (FAQ) before I know what to do.

But in most cases, these help files and FAQ are written by geeks and techies who have no idea what the ordinary person like you and I need. And they're definitely not written to help beginners in the most efficient way.


It usually takes me days or hours to get something really useful done!

The road to success in the dollar discount business is in knowing the steps to take and when to take those steps. Well, here's the roadmap that shows you the way to success.

Agreement Partnership

Creating a Partnership Agreement
If you and your partners don't spell out your rights and responsibilities in a written partnership agreement, you'll be ill-equipped to settle conflicts when they arise, and minor misunderstandings may erupt into full-blown disputes. In addition, without a written agreement saying otherwise, your state's law will control many aspects of your business.
How a Partnership Agreement Helps Your Business
A partnership agreement allows you to structure your relationship with your partners in a way that suits your business. You and your partners can establish the shares of profits (or losses) each partner will take, the responsibilities of each partner, what will happen to the business if a partner leaves and other important guidelines.
The Uniform Partnership Act
Each state (with the exception of Louisiana) has its own laws governing partnerships, contained in what's usually called "The Uniform Partnership Act" or "The Revised Uniform Partnership Act" -- or, sometimes, the "UPA" or the "Revised UPA." These statutes establish the basic legal rules that apply to partnerships and will control many aspects of your partnership's life unless you set out different rules in a written partnership agreement.
Don't be tempted to leave the terms of your partnership up to these state laws. Because they were designed as one-size-fits-all fallback rules, they may not be helpful in your particular situation. It's much better to put your agreement into a document that specifically sets out the points you and your partners have agreed on.
What to Include in Your Partnership Agreement
Here's a list of the major areas that most partnership agreements cover. You and your partners-to-be should consider these issues before you put the terms in writing:
  • Name of the partnership. One of the first things you must do is agree on a name for your partnership. You can use your own last names, such as Smith & Wesson, or you can adopt and register a fictitious business name, such as Westside Home Repairs. If you choose a fictitious name, you must make sure that the name isn't already in use.
  • Contributions to the partnership. It's critical that you and your partners work out and record who's going to contribute cash, property or services to the business before it opens -- and what ownership percentage each partner will have. Disagreements over contributions have doomed many promising businesses.
  • Allocation of profits, losses and draws. Will profits and losses be allocated in proportion to a partner's percentage interest in the business? And will each partner be entitled to a regular draw (a withdrawal of allocated profits from the business) or will all profits be distributed at the end of each year? You and your partners may have different ideas about how the money should be divided up and distributed, and each of you will have different financial needs, so this is an area to which you should pay particular attention.
Partners' authority. Without an agreement to the contrary, any partner can bind the partnership without the consent of the other partners. If you want one or all of the partners to obtain the others' consent before binding the partnership, you must make this clear in your partnership agreement.
  • Partnership decision-making. Although there's no magic formula or language for divvying up decisions among partners, you'll head off a lot of trouble if you try to work it out beforehand. You may, for example, want to require a unanimous vote of all the partners for every business decision. Or if that leaves you feeling fettered, you can require a unanimous vote for major decisions and allow individual partners to make minor decisions on their own. In that case, your partnership agreement will have to describe what constitutes a major or minor decision. You should carefully think through issues like these when setting up the decision-making process for your business.
  • Management duties. You might not want to make ironclad rules about every management detail, but you'd be wise to work out some guidelines in advance. For example, who will keep the books? Who will deal with customers? Supervise employees? Negotiate with suppliers? Think through the management needs of your partnership and be sure you've got everything covered.
  • Admitting new partners. Eventually, you may want to expand the business and bring in new partners. Agreeing on a procedure for admitting new partners will make your lives a lot easier when this issue comes up.
  • Withdrawal or death of a partner. At least as important as the rules for admitting new partners to the business are the rules for handling the departure of an owner. You should set up a reasonable buyout scheme in your partnership agreement. To learn more about this issue, read Plan for Changes in Partnership Ownership with Buy-Sell Provisions.
  • Resolving disputes. If you and your partners become deadlocked on an issue, do you want to go straight to court? It might benefit everyone involved if your partnership agreement provides for alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation or arbitration.

Beberapa Dampak Limbah Industri

DAMPAK LIMBAH

1. Limbah Industri Pangan

Sektor Industri/usaha kecil pangan yang mencemari lingkungan antara lain ; tahu, tempe, tapioka dan pengolahan ikan (industri hasil laut). Limbah usaha kecil pangan dapat menimbulkan masalah dalam penanganannya karena mengandung sejumlah besar karbohidrat, protein, lemak , garam-garam, mineral, dan sisa-sisa bahan kimia yang digunakan dalam pengolahan dan pembersihan. Sebagai contohnya limbah industri tahu, tempe, tapioka industri hasil laut dan industri pangan lainnya, dapat menimbulkan bau yang menyengat dan polusi berat pada air bila pembuangannya tidak diberi perlakuan yang tepat.

Air buangan (efluen) atau limbah buangan dari pengolahan pangan dengan Biological Oxygen Demand ( BOD) tinggi dan mengandung polutan seperti tanah, larutan alkohol, panas dan insektisida. Apabila efluen dibuang langsung ke suatu perairan akibatnya menganggu seluruh keseimbangan ekologik dan bahkan dapat menyebabkan kematian ikan dan biota perairan lainnya.

2. Limbah Industri Kimia & Bahan Bangunan

Industri kimia seperti alkohol dalam proses pembuatannya membutuhkan air sangat besar, mengakibatkan pula besarnya limbah cair yang dikeluarkan kelingkungan sekitarnya. Air limbahnya bersifat mencemari karena didalamnya terkandung mikroorganisme, senyawa organik dan anorganik baik terlarut maupun tersuspensi serta senyawa tambahan yang terbentuk selama proses permentasi berlangsung.

Industri ini mempunyai limbah cair selain dari proses produksinya juga, air sisa pencucian peralatan, limbah padat berupa onggokan hasil perasan, endapan Ca SO4, gas berupa uap alkohol. kategori limbah industri ini adalah llimbah bahan beracun berbahayan (B3) yang mencemari air dan udara.

Gangguan terhadap kesehatan yang dapat ditimbulkan efek bahan kimia toksik :

a. Keracunan yang akut, yakni keracunan akibat masuknya dosis tertentu kedalam tubuh melalui mulut, kulit, pernafasan dan akibatnya dapat dilihat dengan segera, misalnya keracunan H2S, Co dalan dosis tinggi. Dapat menimbulkan lemas dan kematian. Keracunan Fenal dapat menimbulkan sakit perut dan sebagainya.

b. Keracunan kronis, sebagai akibat masuknya zat-zat toksis kedalam tubuh dalam dosis yang kecil tetapi terus menerus dan berakumulasi dalam tubuh, sehingga efeknya baru terasa dalam jangka panjang misalnya keracunan timbal, arsen, raksa, asbes dan sebagainya.

Industri fermentasi seperti alkohol disamping bisa membahayakan pekerja apabila menghirup zat dalam udara selama bekerja apabila tidak sesuai dengan Threshol Limit Valued (TLV) gas atau uap beracun dari industri juga dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan masyarakat sekitar.

Kegiatan lain sektor ini yang mencemari lingkungan adalah industri yang menggunakan bahan baku dari barang galian seperti batako putih, genteng, batu kapur/gamping dan kerajinan batu bata. Pencemaran timbul sebagai akibat dari penggalian yang dilakukan terus-menerus sehingga meninggalkan kubah0kubah yang sudah tidak mengandung hara sehingga apabila tidak dikreklamasi tidak dapat ditanami untuk ladang pertanian.

3. Limbah Industri Sandang Kulit & Aneka

Sektor sandang dan kulit seperti pencucian batik, batik printing, penyamakan kuit dapat mengakibatkan pencemaran karena dalam proses pencucian memerlukanair sebagai mediumnya dalam jumlah yang besar. Proses ini menimbulkan air buangan (bekas Proses) yang besar pula, dimana air buangan mengandung sisa-sisa warna, BOD tinggi, kadar minyak tinggi dan beracun (mengandung limbah B3 yang tinggi).

4. Limbah Industri Logam & Ekektronika.

Bahan buangan yang dihasilkan dari industr besi baja seperti mesin bubut, cor logam dapat menimbulkan pemcemaran lingkungan. Sebagian besar bahan pencemarannya berupa debu, asap dan gas yang mengotori udarasekitarnya. Selain pencemaran udara oleh bahan buangan, kebisingan yang ditimbulkan mesin dalam industri baja (logam) mengganggu ketenangan sekitarnya. kadar bahan pencemar yang tinggi dan tingkat kebisingan yang berlebihan dapat mengganggu kesehatan manusia baik yang bekerja dalam pabrik maupun masyarakat sekitar.

Walaupun industri baja/logam tidak menggunakan larutan kimia, tetapi industri ini memcemari air karena buanganya dapat mengandung minyak pelumas dan asam-asam yang berasal dari proses pickling untukmembersihkan bahan plat, sedangkan bahan buangan padat dapat dimanfaatkan kembali.

Bahaya dari bahan-bahan pencemar yang mungkin dihasilkan dari proses-proses dalam industri besi-baja/logam terhadap kesehatan yaitu :

a. Debu, dapat menyebabkan iritasi, sesak nafas

b. Kebisingan, mengganggu pendengaran, menyempitkan pembuluh darah, ketegangan otot, menurunya kewaspadaan, kosentrasi pemikiran dan efisiensi kerja.

c. Karbon Monoksida (CO), dapat menyebabkan gangguan serius, yang diawali dengan napas pendek dan sakit kepala, berat, pusing-pusing pikiran kacau dan melemahkan penglihatan dan pendengaran. Bila keracunan berat, dapat mengakibatkan pingsan yang bisa diikuti dengan kematian.

d. Karbon Dioksida (CO2), dapat mengakibatkan sesak nafas, kemudian sakit kepala, pusing-pusing, nafas pendek, otot lemah, mengantuk dan telinganya berdenging.

e. Belerang Dioksida (SO2), pada konsentrasi 6-12 ppm dapat menyebabkan iritasi pada hidung dan tenggorokan, peradangan lensa mata (pada konsentrasi 20 ppm), pembengkakan paru-paru/celah suara.

f. Minyak pelumas, buangan dapat menghambat proses oksidasi biologi dari sistem lingkungan, bila bahan pencemar dialirkan keseungai, kolam atau sawah dan sebagainya.

Asap, dapat mengganggu pernafasan, menghalangi pandangan, dan bila tercampur dengan gas CO2, SO2, maka akan memberikan pengaruh yang nenbahayakan seperti yang telah diuraikan diatas.

Analisa Potensi "Strong and Weak"

KEKUATAN DAN KELEMAHAN atau

POTENSI DAN KETERBATASAN ?

Pengantar :

Berbekal dari pengertian bahwa positif lawannya negatif, seringkali ada persepsi kalau Kekuatan lawannya Kelemahan, lebih celaka lagi bahwa sejak 30 tahun yang lalu kita dijejali oleh konsep SWOT didalam membuat perencanaan organisasi sehingga hampir semua orang dewasa yang sudah bekerja mengenali istilah ini dan berbagai konsultan membuat versi lain yang prinsipnya sama saja yaitu TOWS (agar persepsinya "menarik") dan ada juga yang hampir benar seperti SLOT (dengan mengganti Weakness menjadi Limitation).

Dalam konteks tersebut diatas, tidak heran kalau ada persepsi bahwa kalau bisa "memperbaiki" kelemahan maka akan timbul kekuatan dan itu juga sebabnya pada hampir semua organisasi, butir butir kelemahan menjadi perhatian utama untuk dijadikan masukkan didalam perencanaan untuk "diperbaiki" yang dijabarkan dengan detil didalam "rencana tindakan" yang istilah kerennya "Action Planning".

Jarang sekali ada organsasi yang justru berfokus pada "kekuatannya" didalam membuat "action planning".

Yang menarik adalah di amerika ada study tentang butir butir rencana tindakan hasil analisis SWOT di banyak perusahaan. Ternyata lebih dari 50% butir-butir tersebut selalu timbul dari tahun ke tahun dan ini membuktikan bahwa tidak sedikit kelemahan yang tidak bisa diperbaiki.

Apa ada yang salah?

Saya menemukan tiga hal penting dalam menjelaskan hal tersebut diatas

Pertama : persepsi bahwa dengan memperbaiki kelemahan maka akan mendapatkan kekuatan

Kedua : persepsi bahwa manusia bisa memperbaiki segala macam kelemahan

Ketiga : pengertian yang salah tentang arti kelemahan

Pertama : Memperbaiki kelemahan akan mendapatkan kekuatan.

Kalau kita menganggap bahwa kekuatan dan kelemahan berada pada kutub yang berlawanan, maka memperbaiki kelemahan hanya akan mengakibatkan hilangnya kelemahan yang posisinya ditengah tengah atau netral dan ini bukan berarti menjadi kekuatan

Kedua : Manusia bisa memperbaiki segala macam kelemahan.

Obsesi manusia untuk memperbaiki kelemahan merupakan peluang yang dimanfaatkan oleh Self Help Industries yang menyebabkan orang orang di Amerika menghamburkan milyaran dollar dengan hasil yang sangat amat tidak memadai.

Persepsi bahwa manusia bisa berubah menyebabkan pelatihan dan seminar tentang Individual Development laku keras akan tetapi kita semua tahu bahwa pelatihan pelatihan semacam ini hanya membawa dampak beberapa minggu saja, bahkan pelatihan Asia Works yang dianggap paling hebatpun tahu kalau manusia itu seperti bandul yang sewaktu waktu akan kembali keposisi semula.

Ada pendapat bahwa manusia bisa berobah kalau ada krisis

Tetapi apa yang terjadi lihat komentar dibawah ini:

What if a heart specialist told you that you had to change some lifestyle patterns or die? Could you change to save your life?

The odds against your being able to do it are nine to one according to Dr. Raphael “Ray” Levey, founder of the Global Medical Forum in November 2004 at IBM’s Global Innovation Outlook” Conference. (As reported in Fast Company, May 2005)

Dr. Edward Miller, Dean of Medical School at John Hopkins University said:

“They must make changes to live, but they can’t seem to do it. We’re missing a link there somewhere.”

Bayangkan saja, ancaman kematian yang merupakan krisis yang paling hebatpun sulit membuat manusia berubah.

Jadi apa betul manusia tidak bisa memperbaiki kelemahannya?

Kita harus bisa memilah milah yang dimaksud dengan kelemahan

Kalau kelemahan tersebut terkait dengan:

Skill (Keterampilan – def: kemampuan melakukan langkah langkah yang benar dari suatu kegiatan).............maka biasanya dengan berlatih orang bisa menjadi semakin terampil

Knowledge (Pengetahuan)... maka dengan belajar orang bisa semakin tahu

Values (Tatanilai)...... tidak sedikit contoh orang yang tadinya penjahat menjadi orang baik

Behaviour (Perilaku/Tingkah laku).... supir angkot di cimindi yang sulit diatur tiba tiba menjadi sangat teratur setelah menjadi supir TransJakarta (Busway)

Jadi ada kelemahan yang bisa diperbaiki tetapi ada juga kelemahan yang tidak bisa diperbaiki dan ratusan tahun yang lalu sudah ada do’a yang namanya Serenity Prayer yang menyatakan keinginan besar untuk bisa mengetahui mana yang bisa diperbaiki mana yang tidak bisa diperbaiki:

“ God, grant me Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can and Wisdom to know the difference”

Yang dapat diperbaiki dengan mudah adalah Skill yang tidak membutuhkan bakat tertentu dan Knowledge

Yang juga bisa diubah adalah Behaviour yang didukung oleh bakat bakat dominannya, karena kalau tidak, maka akan membuat seseorang menjadi stress berat

Yang juga bisa diperbaiki adalah Values

Dan ini yang penting :

Pada umumnya hal hal yang terkait dengan personality traits seseorang, sangat sulit diubah bahkan tidak bisa berubah

Ketiga : Pengertian yang salah tentang Kelemahan

Sebenarnya akan lebih jelas apabila kita menambah istilah kekuatan dan Kelemahan dengan Potensi dan Keterbatasan agar pengertiannya menjadi lebih gamblang sbb:

Allah memberikan Potensi dan Keterbatasan kepada setiap makhluknya sedang Kekuatan dan kelemahan adalah merupakan pilihan dan upaya manusia atas potensi dan keterbatasannya masing masing.

  • Manusia diberikan potensi akal dan keterbatasan terbang maupun bernafas didalam air
  • Burung diberikan potensi terbang dan keterbatasan berlari
  • Ikan diberikan potensi bernafas di air dan keterbatasan memanjat
  • Cacing diberikan potesi menembus , hidup didalam tanah dan keterbatasan berlari

Kalau makhluk makhluk tersebut diatas berusaha melatih potensinya maka akan timbul kekuatan,

  • Kalau manusia berlatih dan belajar dengan menggunakan akalnya maka kekuatannya akan timbul
  • Kalau burung berlatih terbang maka kekuatannya timbul

akan tetapi kalau makhluk tersebut memaksa bertindak dengan menggunakan keterbatasannya, maka akan timbul kelemahan.

  • Kalau manusia memaksa untuk bernafas didalam air dia akan kelemahannya timbul
  • Kalau cacing berusaha untuk berlari maka kelemahannya timbul
  • Kalau ikan berusaha untuk terbang maka kelemahannya tombul

Dengan begitu, kalau kita menggali Potensi dan Keterbatasan kita maka akan jelas bahwa rencana tindakannya akan lebih berfokus kepada mengasah potesi menjadi kekuatan lalu menggunakan kekuatan tersebut untuk maju kedepan ketimbang berusaha memperbaiki keterbatasan ataupun memaksa bertindak berdasarkan keterbatasan.

  • Kalau manusia ingin terbang, maka gunakan akalnya untuk membuat kapal terbang
  • Kalau manusia ingin menyelam maka gunakan akalnya untuk membuat alat penyelam

Jadi kalau Gallup bilang:

“Focus on your Strength and manage around your Weakness”

( Fokus pada Kekuatan dan siasati Kelemahan)

Maka Abah Rama bilang

” Fokus pada Kekuatan siasati Keterbatasan”

==========================================================

Surah Ar’ Rahman (Q : 33)

“Hai golongan jin dan manusia, apabila kamu sanggup menembus penjuru penjuru langit dan bumi, maka tembuslah ! Tetapi kamu tidak dapat menembusnya kecuali dengan KEKUATAN ”
