Bahaya Kerja Lebih dari 11 Jam Sehari

VIVAnews - Dalam lingkungan masyarakat aktif, terdapat sekelompok orang yang rela menghabiskan 11 jam waktunya dalam sehari untuk bekerja. Bahkan lebih dari 11 jam per hari. Tapi, tahukah Anda, kebiasaan tersebut justru tidak menyehatkan dan memicu beragam penyakit?

Menurut sebuah penelitian, menghabiskan lebih dari 11 jam di tempat kerja dapat meningkatkan risiko serangan jantung. Risikonya sebanyak dua pertiga lebih tinggi dibandingkan mereka yang bekerja kurang dari 11 jam sehari.

Tim peneliti dari Unversitas Collage London mengamati lebih dari 7000 pegawai sipil yang bekerja pada Whitehall selama 11 tahun dan berapa jam waktu yang dibutuhkan mereka untuk bekerja setiap harinya.

Peneliti mengungkapkan, risiko sangat besar sehingga dokter harus menanyakan berapa jam mereka bekerja dan berapa banyak mereka minum alkohol atau merokok. Mereka juga mengumpulkan informasi terkait kondisi hati atau liver mereka dari catatan medis dan pemeriksaan kesehatan. Selama periode tersebut, sebanyak 192 responden menderita serangan jantung.

Hasil studi yang dipublikasikan dalam the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, menemukan bahwa karyawan yang bekerja lebih dari 11 jam berisiko 67% terserang jantung dibandingkan mereka yang bekerja dari pukul 9 pagi hingga lima sore.

Para peneliti mengatakan penemuan mereka berpotensi mencegah ribuan orang dari serangan jantung selama setahun dan dapat membantu para dokter menentukan penyebab pasien terserang jantung. Contohnya, serangan jantung pada pasien yang sudah berisiko tinggi karena obesitas dan merokok, dapat dicegah melalui mengurangi jam kerja mereka.

"Kami telah menunjukkan, hari kerja yang panjang dapat dikaitkan dengan peningkatan luar biasa dalam risiko terkena penyakit jantung," ujar pemimpin penelitian Professor Mika Kivimäki, dikutip oleh laman Daily Mail.

Informasi baru ini dapat membantu pengambilan solusi pengobatan untuk penyakit jantung. Selain itu, dapat digunakan untuk menyadarkan orang-orang yang terlalu sibuk bekerja, terutama bagi mereka yang memiliki faktor pendorongan serangan jantung lainnya.

Biasanya penyakit jantung terjadi karena adanya penyumbatan pembuluh darah oleh lemak. Risiko ini meningkat jika orang tersebut merokok, memiliki tekanan darah dan kolesterol tinggi.

"Penelitian Whitehall sangat membantu kami membentuk pemahaman terkait faktor penentu sosial dari penyakit jantung," ujar Profesor Peter Weissberg, direktur medis di British Heart Foundation.

Namun menurutnya, temuan baru ini memerlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menjelaskan bagaimana hal ini dapat berpengaruh bagi kesehatan jantung sehingga dapat mengubah pendekatan para dokter untuk menilai risiko serangan jantung seseorang dan solusi yang dapat mereka berikan pada kondisi kerja pasien.

Daun Sirsak, Sang Pembunuh Sel Kanker

KANKER menjadi momok banyak orang di seluruh dunia hingga kini. Saat banyak penelitian dilakukan untuk menemukan obat kanker terbaik, buah sirsak ternyata menyimpan keunggulan ini.

Beberapa waktu lalu, Taman Wisata Mekarsari mengadakan demo pengolahan daun sirsak yang diberikan secara gratis kepada pengunjung untuk ke-12 kalinya. Kegiatan bertujuan memberikan informasi bagaimana mengolah sirsak dengan baik untuk dijadikan obat alternatif membunuh sel kanker.

Selain melihat langsung demo pengolahan daun sirsak, pengunjung juga bisa melakukan tanya jawab seputar pengobatan kanker secara herbal dan disuguhkan pengetahuan menarik mengenai seluk beluk budidaya tanaman sirsak dan pengolahan daun untuk obat herbal penyakit kanker. Penasaran bagaimana sirsak mampu menjadi pembunuh sel kanker?

Setiap bagian sirsak bermanfaat

Nama sirsak berasal dari bahasa Belanda “zuur zak”, artinya buah yang asam. Bagian tanaman mulai bunga, daun, buah, biji, kulit, dan akar dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai pengobatan tradisional.

Pada awal 1990-an, ditemukan 34 senyawa Cytotoxic, pada daun sirsak yang mampu menghambat hingga membunuh sel-sel tubuh yang mengalami pertumbuhan tidak normal (sel kanker). Senyawa ini memiliki beberapa keunggulan bila dibandingkan dengan pengobatan kanker saat ini, antara lain membunuh kanker secara efektif dan aman, tanpa menyebabkan rasa mual dan muntah serta tanpa kehilangan berat badan maupun kerontokan rambut dalam jumlah besar.

Daun sirsak diketahui mengandung zat annonaceous acetogenins yang mampu 10.000 kali lebih kuat membunuh sel-sel kanker daripada zat adriamycin, yang biasa dipakai dalam pengobatan kemoterapi. Zat acetogenins dapat membunuh aneka jenis kanker, seperti kanker usus, tiroid, prostat, paru-paru, payudara, dan pankreas bahkan penyakit ambeien tanpa merusak atau mengganggu sel-sel tubuh yang sehat. Hal ini telah diteliti di Laboratorium Health Sciences Institute, Amerika Serikat di bawah pengawasan the National Cancer Institute, Amerika Serikat.

”Sebelum memutuskan untuk mengonsumsi olahan daun sirsak sebagai pengobatan terhadap kanker atau tumor, sebaiknya konsultasikan terlebih dahulu dengan dokter atau herbalis tempat Anda selama ini melakukan pengobatan. Sebab, dikhawatirkan Anda mempunyai alergi terhadap sirsak atau obat yang selama ini Anda konsumsi berefek terbalik dengan senyawa dalam daun sirsak,” jelas Stefanus, herbalis dari Herbacure, dalam pemaparannya.

Cara pengolahan

Lebih lanjut, Stefanus dan Darmawan Tri Wibowo, ahli budidaya tanaman sirsak dari Taman Wisata Mekarsari memaparkan cara pengolahan daun sirsak untuk herbal pencegah kanker, berikut ini:

1. Pada pengobatan kanker, daun sirsak (10-15 lembar) direbus dengan 3 gelas air (600 cc) hingga tersisa 1 gelas air rebusan. Pada saat merebus sebaiknya menggunakan kendi atau panci yang terbuat dari tanah liat agar kemurnian zat yang ada pada daun sirsak tetap terjaga. Air rebusan diminum selagi hangat setiap hari,  pagi atau sore hari selama 3-4 pekan.

”Perlu diperhatikan, pengambilan daun sirsak sebaiknya dimulai dari daun ke-4 atau ke-5 dari ujung pucuk. Hal ini dikarenakan pada daun yang terlalu muda, senyawa belum banyak terbentuk. Sementara pada daun yang tua sudah mulai rusak sehingga kadarnya berkurang,” terang Darmawan.

2. Selain teknik pengolahan di atas, secara umum terdapat pengolahan lain daun sirsak, yaitu dengan memanfaatkan daun sirsak kering 10-15 lembar direbus dengan 2 gelas air (400 cc) sehingga tersisa 1 gelas air rebusan. Proses perebusan membutuhkan waktu 1-1,5 jam saja, jadi lebih cepat prosesnya dibanding cara di atas. Proses pengeringan sebaiknya tidak dilakukan di bawah sinar matahari terik karena dikhawatirkan akan merusak  senyawa  dalam daun sirsak.

”Daun sirsak kering memiliki senyawa yang tetap sama dengan daun sirsak basah karena yang berkurang dalam proses pengeringan hanya kadar airnya. Sementara, senyawa dalam daun tetap terjaga. Penyimpanan daun sirsak dalam lemari pendingin maksimal sepekan sejak pemetikan karena proses pendinginan yang lama dikhawatirkan akan merusak senyawa dalam daun selain aroma daun yang tidak enak karena proses fermentasi,” papar Darmawan.

3. Konsumsi daging buah sirsak segar (150-250 gr/hari) dengan mengolahnya menjadi jus atau dimakan langsung sangat disarankan. Daging buah sirsak selain sebagai penambah energi (pada umumnya penderita kanker/tumor kondisi badanya lemas /lesu) juga kaya serat yang sangat membantu proses pengeluaran sel-sel kanker yang telah mati akibat penyembuhan oleh senyawa acetogenins.

Ekskresi sel kanker yang mati  bisa melalui keringat, urine, dan feses sehingga umumnya terapi menggunakan herbal daun sirsak sebagai pengobatan akan berefek hangat/panas pada bagian tubuh yang sakit, sering kencing, dan berkeringat deras. Cepat lambatnya reaksi tubuh terhadap penggobatan atau efek samping pengobatan berbeda pada setiap orang dipengaruhi oleh faktor, seperti usia, ketahanan tubuh penderita, tingkat stadium kanker/tumor, dan jenis kanker atau tumornya.

4. Pengolahan daun sirsak lainnya yaitu dengan cara memblender 3-5 lembar daun sirsak basah dengan menambahkan ¼ gelas air (50 cc) air hangat untuk membantu proses penghancuran. Sebelum diblender, daun sebaiknya dipotong menjadi 3-4 bagian agar lebih cepat hancur. Setelah hancur, masukkan daun ke wadah dengan penutup rapat, lalu tambahkan 1 gelas air panas ke dalamnya dan aduk sampai rata.

Tutup wadah dengan rapat agar panas tetap terjaga dan proses ekstraksi senyawa dapat maksimal. Biarkan selama 15-20 menit, setelah itu saring olahan untuk diambil airnya dan minum selagi hangat.

Bila tidak ada blender, pengolahan daun sirsak bisa juga dengan cara digerus menggunakan cobek dengan teknik pengolahan yang sama dengan cara diblender.

”Pengolahan dengan cara diblender atau digerus tidaklah semaksimal ekstraksi senyawa daun sirsak dibandingkan dengan teknik pertama (perebusan daun basah) dan teknik kedua (perebusan daun kering), tetapi lebih efisien. Hasil olahan pada kedua teknik umumnya beraroma langu yang cukup menyengat. Untuk menekan aromanya bisa ditambahkan sedikit perasan buah nanas atau buah lain yang lebih disukai. Dan jangan menambahkan gula aren murni, madu, atau gula pasir bila rasanya tidak Anda sukai, karena sudah melalui proses kimiawi,” terang Stefanus.

Reaksi pengobatan

Reaksi pengobatan menggunakan olahan daun sirsak umumnya bereaksi setelah 3-7 hari setelah pengobatan secara rutin 3 kali sehari meskipun ada juga yang baru bereaksi setelah 1 bulan konsumsi rutin.

”Bila reaksi tidak ada, cek kembali secara detail, mulai dari pemilihan alat dan bahan, teknik pengambilan daun, cara pengolahan, bahkan teknik konsumsinya apakah rutin atau tidak, karena semua merupakan satu kesatuan yang wajib dipenuhi agar hasilnya maksimal,” saran Stefanus.

Ia menambahkan, cek kondisi penyakit Anda sebelum pengobatan dan periksa kembali dua pekan setelah pengobatan untuk melihat sejauh mana reaksi pengobatan dengan metode ini. Bila tidak ada pengaruh selama dua bulan konsumsi, padahal sudah menjalankan pengolahan dengan benar, maka pengobatan dengan olahan daun sirsak ini bisa ditingggalkan.

”Untuk penderita maag yang khawatir asam lambungnya naik karena konsumsi  buah sirsak yang agak asam, sebaiknya mengonsumsi buah 1 jam setelah makan. Bila menderita sakit maag yang cukup akut, konsumsi buahnya bisa dilakukan dengan cara mengukus daging sirsak terlebih dahulu agar rasa asam berkurang,” tutup Stefanus.

Top Chef All-Stars: Power Rankings Week 14

www.cinemablend.comAfter - the contestants combined for three sketchy dishes last week, I wasn’t sure what we might get moving forward. Sometimes the finale is a brilliant back and forth where all involved step up and produce wonderful and inventive courses. Other times it’s a choke fest of muted flavors and safe offerings. You would think a season filled with all-stars would produce heightened drama near the end, but the judges were given three very poor dishes during the last episode. I was skeptical how the remaining four would fire back. Turns out that nervousness was misplaced.

Cooking on the beach with conch the chefs were forced to catch themselves, they all battled the elements and ultimately came out smelling like roses. For the second week in a row, there was no topping emerging juggernaut Mike Isabella. He crammed pineapple, conch and a few other flavors into a seaweed wrap that once again narrowly edged Richard who screwed himself with one underdone piece of lobster that happened to go to the guest judge. Chef Tom ranted and raved about Blais’ sweet potatoes he deftly turned into pasta, but his praises couldn’t sway the others enough to top Mike. Antonia and Tiffany also did their part, though the former’s dish was a little too safe for Padma’s liking and the latter had some hot and cold problems with her chowder ceviche. In the end, Tiffany’s chill was enough to send her home, leaving us with three remaining competitors, each confident he oer she could win.

The Top Chef Power Rankings are a combination of ordered lists put together by Cinema Blend writers Mack Rawden and Jessica Grabert, as well as professional poker player and hungry hungry carnivore Brain Carraher. A first place vote is worth eighteen points. This week a last place vote was worth sixteen. Fifteen chefs have already been eliminated and therefore automatically occupy the bottom slots. For the first time, we’ve done away with the separate categories of favorites and contenders. Three chefs are left, and while Richard should still be considered the favorite, all three have legitimate chances to win. Here’s a look at how the voting shook down…

Still In The Running

#1) Richard Blais (54): Richard needs to stop putting so much goddamn pressure on himself. Everyone else wants to win, but he treats the competition like his wife is strapped into a dunk tank and will be dropped if he doesn’t execute flawlessly. I’m all for mentally preparing to win, but once you get out there, you need to stop focusing on long-term repercussions and just execute like you know you can. If Richard can do that, he should thrive in the finale format that will likely allow him to pursue as many crazy recipes. If not, he’ll be left bitter and angry until Top Chef has another all-star season in five or six years.

#2) Antonia Lofaso (51): It’s a good thing for Antonia it was Tiffany’s time to go. Her dish this week lacked focus, and the Top Chef judge regulars weren’t particularly pleased with several components on the plate. Antonia did have two outside factors going for her. The first was guest judge Lorena “bad opinions” Garcia was all over her dish. The second was Tiffany serving a hot soup with a cold ceviche that made for one lukewarm dish. Antonia’s had a rough few weeks, and she’s not normally the type of person to land in the middle. She’ll either rise to the occasion, or she’ll sink like she’s got lead weights tied to her. She’s a variable, so there’s no telling how these next few weeks will go.

#3) Mike Isabella (48): Mike began the season with a solid always-in-the-middle performance. Following this he had one high week and then several lows. If he had gone home then, I don’t think anyone would have been surprised. However, in the past two weeks, Mike’s been on the top of the game. He's worked on trying new dishes and has learned new techniques and this has garnered him back-to-back elimination challenge wins as well as one quickfire win. Brian’s been all over Mike’s shit all along, but I would have been hard pressed to believe he’d make it into the finals until the past few weeks. As it currently stands, he’s looking more and more like the man to beat.

Here’s a look at how each of the three ballots shook out:

Mack: Richard (18) Antonia (17) Mike (16)

Brain: Richard (18) Antonia (17) Mike (16)

Jessica: Richard (18) Antonia (17) Mike (16)

Court sentences former Israeli president to 7 years in prison

(CNN) -- A Tel Aviv district court Tuesday sentenced former Israeli president Moshe Katsav to seven years in prison on multiple charges of rape and sexual harassment.
The case involved three women -- two in the president's office and one in the tourism ministry.
In late December, the three-judge panel found Katsav guilty of two charges of rape, two charges of forceful sexual harassment and one charge of sexual harassment.
Katsav had agreed in 2007 to plead guilty to lesser charges and pay a fine to avoid jail time, but pulled out of the deal when it came time to enter his plea.
The plea bargain caused a public storm in Israel, mainly because it did not include charges of rape, contrary to what had been suggested in a draft indictment.
Katsav, of the center-right Likud Party, was president of Israel from 2000 to 2007. He was minister of tourism before that. The charges stem from allegations made against him in both jobs.

He resigned the presidency in June 2007 because of the sexual assault allegations.

Pria Dilarang Tanya 10 Hal Ini pada Wanita

David DeAngelo, penulis ‘Double Your Dating,’ memberi 10 tips agar pria tidak melakukan kesalahan yang kemudian akan disesalinya dalam berkencan. Apa saja itu?

Pertama, seperti dikutip dari Bullz-Eye.com, pria tidak perlu bertanya kepada wanita apakah ia boleh menciumnya atau tidak. Meminta izin untuk menciumnya hanya akan membuat pria terlihat seperti anak-anak di mata wanita, dan hal itu tidak menarik baginya.

Kedua, pria tidak perlu bertanya kepada wanita apakah ia dapat mengajaknya berkencan atau tidak. Kebanyakan wanita lebih nyaman bersama pria yang berjiwa layaknya seorang pemimpin, bukan seseorang yang selalu meminta izin untuk melakukan ini atau itu. Lebih baik pria mengajak berkencan dengan berkata penuh percaya diri, “Kita harus ngobrol sesekali. Berapa nomor telponmu?”

Ketiga, pria tidak perlu sesumbar dan pamer tentang mobil yang ia miliki atau jenis rumah yang ditinggalinya. Di mata wanita, hal itu memperlihatkan dengan jelas bahwa pria itu sedang berusaha keras untuk tampil mengesankan di hadapannya. Wanita jauh lebih tertarik dengan pria yang tidak membicarakan harta benda dalam percakapan.

Keempat, pria tidak perlu bertanya kepada wanita tentang apa yang ingin ia lakukan malam ini. Wanita menyukai pria yang memiliki rencana. Pria harus punya rencana sebelum mengajak kencan wanita, agar rekan kencannya tidak perlu terbebani dengan harus ikut berpikir tentang apa yang semestinya mereka lakukan untuk menghabiskan waktu bersama.

Kelima, pria tidak perlu bertanya kepada wanita tentang apakah ia menyukainya atau tidak. Hal ini umumnya menghilangkan sama sekali ketertarikan wanita kepada pria, karena membuat pria terlihat tidak memiliki kepercayaan diri. Lebih baik berasumsi bahwa si dia suka pada Anda.

Keenam, pria tidak perlu bertanya kepada wanita tentang mengapa ia tidak pernah membalas SMS atau e-mail-nya. Hal itu membuat pria terlihat terlalu menuntut di mata wanita. Akibatnya, wanita menjadi merasa tidak aman di dekatnya.

Ketujuh, pria tidak perlu bertanya kepada wanita tentang berapa pria yang pernah berkencan dengannya. Hal itu membuat wanita merasa privasinya diganggu.

Kedelapan, pria tidak perlu bertanya tentang kapan kencan yang selanjutnya. Kebanyakan wanita menyukai tantangan, dan dia akan kehilangan minat bila mengetahui si pria juga menyukai dirinya. Pada titik itu, wanita merasa menang, dan hilanglah tantangan yang dicarinya.

Kesembilan, pria tidak perlu bertanya kepada wanita tentang langkah atau hal apa yang selanjutnya akan mereka lakukan. Wanita lebih menyukai pria yang agak sulit diduga dan bersikap spontan.

Kesepuluh, pria tidak perlu bertanya kepada wanita tentang keburukan teman si wanita, terutama ketika dia tidak terlalu mengenal temannya itu.

(Penulis : Adry Pratono)

 

Ngomongin soal kegiatan, mungkin cewek satu ini bisa dibilang Miss Sibuk. Abis, gimana nggak? Seabrek kegiatan diikutinya, jack ! Dari mulai modern dance, cheerleaders, modelling , sampe drum band. Menurut pengakuan sulung dari dua bersaudara ini, semua berawal dari sifat suka coba-cobanya.

“Aku tuh anaknya penasarannya gede. Hanya jeleknya, begitu udah nyobain sering kali malah ngerasa bosan. Akhirnya n vakum di tengah-tengah!” ujar Bella sambil nyengir.

Well , kalo sekarang kira-kira Bella lagi penasaran sama kegiatan apa sih?

“Lagi pengen banget belajar teater! Dulu waktu MP sempat ikut klab teater bahasa Inggris. Tapi ya itu, vakum di tengah-tengah! Cuma begitu udah masuk SMK, tiba-tiba pengen belajar teater lagi. Mungkin karena aku sempat ikut ekskul English The Big Club kali ya?”

Hmmmm, gitu....
By the way , kamu bilang pengen belajar teater. Tapi kok kemaren kami sempat ngeliat kamu belajar nari tarian tradisional?

“Hahaha.... Iyaaaa! Aku juga lagi senang belajar tari tradisional sekarang! Di sekolah aku kan ikut ekskul tari tradisional juga. Terus, pernah pentas tari Gebyor (tarian khas Sidoarjo, bos!) di luar sekolah, eh, menang. Sumpah! Aku senaaang banget!!! Padahal waktu itu aku cuma latihan tiga hari lho. Makanya, dari situ aku jadi berniat mempelajari tari tradisional lebih serius.”

Ups! Jadi makin panjang aja nih list kegiatannya! Kalo tiap hari sibuk latihan ini-itu, pacarannya kapan dong?

“Wah, aku masih jomblo!” Bella menjawab kenes.

Hah? Yang bener?? Emang kamu suka sama cowok kayak gimana? (Ngarep, mode on* )

“Yang penting memenuhi syarat 3 S: Sayang, Setia, dan Serius.”

Huaaah! Gue banget tuh!!! Hahaha….

“Kalo gitu kita bisa HTS-an,”

Lho? HTS-an???

“Yups! Aku sampe sekarang lebih nyaman HTS-an. Soalnya emang belom ada planning aja buat pacaran! Masih pengen fokus di sekolah dan memperbanyak aktivitas supaya banyak pengalaman.”

Yaaah…. Hancur deh harapan! (atok)

NASA Chat: MESSENGER Prepares to Orbit Mercury

After more than a dozen laps through the inner solar system, NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft will move into orbit around Mercury on Mar. 17, 2011. The durable spacecraft -- carrying seven science instruments and fortified against the blistering environs near the sun -- will be the first to orbit the innermost planet.

On Wednesday, Mar. 16, from 10-11 a.m. EDT, chat experts Jimmy Lee, NASA MESSENGER mission manager, and Mike Galuska, chief engineer of the Discovery, New Frontiers and Lunar Quest Program Office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., will answer your questions about MESSENGER'S orbital insertion.

Joining the chat is easy. Simply visit this page on Wednesday, Mar. 16. The chat window will open at the bottom of this page, and you can log in a few minutes before the chat begins at 10:00 a.m. EDT. See you in chat!

More About MESSENGER

On Mar. 17 at 8:45 p.m. EDT, MESSENGER -- having pointed its largest thruster very close to the direction of travel -- will fire that thruster for nearly 14 minutes, with other thrusters firing for an additional minute, slowing the spacecraft by 862 meters per second (1,929 mph) and consuming 31 percent of the propellant that the spacecraft carried at launch. Less than 9.5 percent of the usable propellant at the start of the mission will remain after completing the orbit insertion maneuver, but the spacecraft will still have plenty of propellant for future orbit correction maneuvers.

The orbit insertion will place the spacecraft into a 12 hour orbit about Mercury with a 200 kilometer (124 mile) minimum altitude. At the time of orbit insertion, MESSENGER will be 46.14 million kilometers (28.67 million miles) from the sun and 155.06 million kilometers (96.35 million miles) from Earth.

MESSENGER has been on a six year mission to become the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury. The spacecraft followed a path through the inner solar system, including one flyby of Earth, two flybys of Venus, and three flybys of Mercury. This impressive journey is returning the first new spacecraft data from Mercury since the Mariner 10 mission over 30 years ago.

Bird found in Indonesia a new species

WASHINGTON -- A small greenish bird that has been playing hide-and-seek with ornithologists on a remote Indonesian island since 1996 was declared a newly discovered species on Friday and promptly recommended for endangered lists.

The new species is called the Togian white-eye, or Zosterops somadikartai.

It was first spotted by Mochamad Indrawan of the University of Indonesia and his colleague Sunarto, who like many Indonesians uses one name.

"We observed the species in the field from 1997 to 2003," Indrawan said in a statement.

Dr. Pamela Rasmussen, a taxonomist at Michigan State University, completed the identification, reported in the March edition of The Wilson Journal of Ornithology.

The researchers had to get one of the birds for examination and formal classification.

Togian white-eyes are small, greenish and have conspicuous white eye-rings.

Its nearest relatives have a band of white feathers around their eyes but this energetic little bird, which travels in small groups, is less showy, the researchers said.

The new Togian white-eye has been seen only near the coasts of three small islands of the Togian Islands in central Sulawesi. Rasmussen said it

likely falls into the International Union for Conservation of Nature's category of endangered.

"This finding of the bird is only the beginning given the vast opportunities with Indonesian landscapes and seascapes of endemic flora and fauna," Indrawan said.

"What this discovery highlights is that in some parts of the world there are still virtually unexplored islands where few ornithologists have worked," Rasmussen said. "The world still holds avian surprises for us."

Indonesia has 1,600 of the known 10,000 bird species.

Australia's role in Japanese nuclear disaster

There's every likelihood that radioactive by-products of Australian uranium have been spewing into the atmosphere from the nuclear reactor plant at Fukushima in Japan. Despite being a major uranium supplier to Japan, Australia has turned a blind eye to serious, protracted problems with Japan's nuclear industry and it's time for a more responsible approach.
Australia's role in Japanese nuclear disaster

There's every likelihood that radioactive by-products of Australian uranium have been spewing into the atmosphere from the nuclear reactor plant at Fukushima in Japan. Despite being a major uranium supplier to Japan, Australia has turned a blind eye to serious, protracted problems with Japan's nuclear industry and it's time for a more responsible approach.
The earthquake on Friday led to the automatic shut-down of the operating nuclear reactors at Fukushima. However the nuclear company TEPCO failed in its duty to maintain back-up electricity supply to run pumps to cool the intensely hot and radioactive nuclear cores. That, in turn, led to the explosion on Saturday and to ongoing efforts to cool the reactors with sea-water.
Japanese authorities say that the release of radiation from the plant has been modest and that the steel containment of the Fukushima #1 reactor core has not been destroyed. Let's hope those statements are true. Official pronouncements carry little weight given the history of misinformation and cover-ups surrounding the Japanese nuclear industry.
Earthquakes have affected several nuclear plants in Japan. The most serious was the major 2007 earthquake which led to the shutdown of all of TEPCO's operating reactors at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Niigata − not far from Fukushima, but on the west coast. Radiation was released from two reactor buildings, from a pool containing spent nuclear fuel rods, and from 40 drums of nuclear waste which fell over and lost their lids.
There is a history of distrust surrounding TEPCO. All of TEPCO's reactors were involved in a 2002 safety data falsification scandal which led to protracted reactor shut-downs for inspections and repairs. The 'malpractices' were revealed to have been many and varied and to have been ongoing for as long as 25 years. There have been numerous other incidents of data falsification involving reactors in Japan since the 2002 scandal, and further relevetions about previous incidents such as TEPCO's concealment of an emergency shut-down of one of the reactors at Fukushima in 1984.
Distrust of TEPCO grew as a result of the 2007 earthquake in Niigata. The company provided conflicting information over a period of several days, and later acknowledged that the radiation releases would have been reduced if procedures were correctly followed. Nuclear Engineering International reported: "Japan's nuclear industry has been suffering in the glare of negative publicity bsrought about by revelations that operators had covered up accidents and problems for decades. When it became public knowledge, it was hoped that the public relations disaster that companies were engineering for themselves might lead the wider industry to realise the potential benefits of being more open and honest when problems do crop up. That hope seems to have withered again in Niigata."
A growing list of accidents are testament to the mismanagement of nuclear power in Japan. Some of the more serious accidents include:
· A sodium leak and fire at the Monju fast breeder in 1995.
· A reprocessing waste explosion at Tokai in 1997.
· Fifty tonnes of primary coolant leaked from a reactor at Tsuruga in 1999, leading to a sharp increase of radiation levels inside the reactor building.
· Following a criticality accident at a uranium conversion plant at Tokaimura in 1999, two people died and hundreds were irradiated.
· In 2001, a water pipe at Hamaoka-1 exploded, releasing radioactive steam into the containment building
· In 2002, 16 workers were irradiated after a water pipe leak at Hamaoka-2.
· On 9 August 2004, five workers were killed after a steam leak at the Mihama-3 nuclear power plant.
· At the Mihama nuclear power plant in Japan in 2005, a pipe failed due to corrosion, resulting in the deaths of five workers and injuries to six others. The thickness of the failed pipe had not been checked since the plant went into operation in 1976.
A vicious cycle is evident. Mismanagement and slack regulation beget accidents and scandals. The authorities respond with denial and deceit which later gives way to profuse apologies, resignations, and solemn promises of improved performance in future. Then it's business as usual ... mismanagement and slack regulation beget the next accident or scandal and the cycle repeats.
The pattern of mismanagement, accidents and scandals is reflected in public opinion. A 2005 survey by the International Atomic Energy Agency found that just 21 percent of Japanese citizens support the construction of new reactors; 76 percent are opposed. Of the 18 countries surveyed, only four were more strongly opposed to the construction of new nuclear reactors.
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto export uranium from Australia to TEPCO from the Olympic Dam and Ranger mines, respectively. As a major uranium supplier, Australia could play a role in breaking the vicious cycle by making uranium exports conditional on improved management of nuclear plants and tighter regulation. Indeed we have a responsibility to either insist on better performance or to cease uranium exports to Japan. The business-as-usual option makes us complicit in the ongoing fiasco of Japan's nuclear industry.
We are also complicit in fanning regional proliferation tensions by providing Japan with open-ended permission to separate and stockpile weapons-useable plutonium produced in power reactors from Australian uranium. A 1993 US diplomatic cable posed these questions: "Can Japan expect that if it embarks on a massive plutonium recycling program that Korea and other nations would not press ahead with reprocessing programs? Would not the perception of Japan's being awash in plutonium and possessing leading edge rocket technology create anxiety in the region?"
Since 1993, Japan's plutonium stockpile has grown enormously and regional tensions are sharper than ever. Yet Australia continues to provide open-ended approval for Japan to stockpile plutonium, and Australia continues to turn a blind eye to the pattern of accidents, scandals and cover-ups. Hooray for hypocrisy.
