CINDERELLA

(Orientation ) Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step mother and two step sisters.

The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear.

(Complication) One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had left.

“Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.

Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.

Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind.

(Resolution ) A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.

Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

Mobil listrik sekarang sudah dipasarkan di Belanda. Bila listriknya juga dibangkitkan dengan tenaga ramah lingkungan maka penggunaan mobil ini sama sekali tidak menghasilkan CO2.

Perusahaan Listrik Essent di Belanda akan memperbanyak jumlah mobil listrik. Mereka juga berencana mengganti mobil biasa dengan mobil listrik.

cochecito300.jpgEfisien
ECE-Cars (Electric Cars Europe) membeli mobil-mobil biasa yang menggunakan bahan bakar bensin. Mesin mobil kemudian seluruhnya diganti dengan mekanisme mesin listrik.

Yang kita kenal sejauh ini mobil listrik kebanyakan tidak bagus, dan jalannya lamban.Namun yang diperkenalkan di Belanda ini adalah mobil listrik cantik dan bisa lari cepat. Cukup semalaman disambungkan ke tombol listrik, bisa jalan untuk jarak 200 kilometer.

Mobil itu digerakkan dengan listrik. Listriknya berasal dari tombol listrik biasa.

Mobil listrik empat kali lebih efisien. Mobil yang memakai BBM bila dihitung energi yang sampai ke roda hanya 20% saja. Sisanya tersimpan di aki mobil. Sedang mobil listrik 80% energi sampai ke roda. Jadi, mobil listrik mengeluarkan CO2 lebih sedikit ke udara.

Namun masih ada kendala dalam penggunaan mobil listrik, yaitu mengisi kembali listrik. Saat ini masih sulit mengadakan perjalanan jauh dengan mobil listrik.

Untuk itu Perusahaan Energi Essent masih mencari penyelesaian. "Memang, pusat-pusat untuk mengisi energi dengan cepat harus disediakan. Tapi sekarang, untuk sementara begitu mobil menganggur langsung sambungkan dengan tombol listrik. Jadi misalnya dari rumah ke kantor, begitu sampai di kantor langsung tancapkan tombol listrik, sampai saatnya pulang", jelas Rik Hammer, juru bicara Essent.

Saat ini harga mobil listrik masih mahal, tapi dilain pihak harga bahan bakarnya lebih murah. Dalam beberapa tahun diperkirakan harga mobil listrik akan turun karena bisa diproduksi dalam jumlah besar.

THE S.I.G.I.T

Alright

oleh: The SIGIT

I’m a kind of man
Who’d never start a fight
For those about to getting heavy
I would hold 'em tight

Never feel a weight
In the way you complaining
For you I’ve given the will
Fate that never hestitating

Babe, it’s going to be alright
Never easy to see
Things that never seen
So hard to comprehence
The fools I’ve been

Possibility is infinite
And it may vary
Personality is folded
And none simple as binary

Babe, it’s going to be alright
Let’s hope that time is on our side
Let’s through it all
And we might be alright
