Jakarta (24/04/2013), dua orang Direktur PT Indoguna Utama, Arya Abdi Effendy dan Juard Effendy didakwa menyuap mantan Presiden Partai Keadilan Sejahtera atau PKS, Luthfi Hasan Ishak selaku anggota Komisi 1 DPR.
Suap ini diberikan via tersangka Ahmad Fathanah. Di Pengadilan Tipikor Jakarta hari ini, Penuntut Umum KPK, Siswanto mengatakan kedua terdakwa memberikan uang sekitar Rp 1,3 miliar dari janji Rp 40 miliar pada Luthfi Hasan Ishak. Pemberian ini dilakukan agar Luthfi menggunakan kedudukannya sebagai anggota Komisi 1 DPR untuk mempengaruhi pejabat Kementrian Pertanian agar menyetujui penambahan kuota impor daging sapi tahun 2013 yang diajukan PT Indoguna Utama, PT Sinar Terang Utama, PT Nuansa Guna Utama, CV Cahaya Karya Indah dan CV Surya Cemerlang Abadi. Atas dakwaan ini, kedua terdakwa terancam maksimal hukuman 5 tahun penjara. (eko/ary)

Laughter is social bonding communication. It’s like saying, “I like you” or “I want you to like me.” Evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar says that belly laughing may have worked like “grooming at a distance” for early ancestors, allowing them to maintain bonds within larger groups, which explains why humor in ads can bond people to brands. Laughter is an innate, cross-cultural response triggered unconsciously, which is why it is hard to fake or control. Shared laughter synchronizes our brains in emotional attunement, the hallmark of successful communication, releasing oxytocin and tension, firing our trust circuits.
This approach felt authentic and compelling only because the brand had earned the right. VW had a storied legacy to “think small,” not boast big; not through sales talk, but by speaking human. And they attained massive sales growth back then as well as today. That’s in part because they recognized that our purpose as people is to lead better lives, not to consume their products.

Another amazing photo from the Paralympics: China’s He Junquan bites on a towel to aid his start in the men’s 50m Backstroke S5 race at the Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park. The S5 category is for swimmers with major limb loss of two limbs or with full use of their arms and hands but no trunk or leg muscles; swimmers with moderate coordination problems.

But wait. Saline isn’t toxic….and in the womb babies don’t breathe…awk.This is “Baby Choice.” She did not choose to die. Her life was ended by a legal abortion. While in the safety of her mothers womb, an abortionist (“doctor”), injected a saline solution into the amniotic fluid. As she inhaled that solution, it burned her body from the inside out. She kicked violently as she died an excruciating, painful death in her mother’s womb. Her mother, while feeling her baby kicking violently, had to wait until she died, and then delivered a dead baby. A choice her mother lived to regret.
No, they don’t actually “breathe” but they do practice inhaling. Their lungs aren’t fully developed, but they do inhale and exhale amniotic fluid.
And for the record, there’s not JUST saline in it. That’s why it’s called a solution. And if said solution isn’t toxic, then explain how it scalds babies to death in partial birth abortions? This was a real baby, my mother knew her mother. So don’t throw around the whole “this didn’t actually happen” card.
How awkward for you.
Overall, regardless this is not only so wrong in my eyes but one of the saddest pictures I have ever seen. Such a beautiful baby, made to suffer for no reason. Abortion is wrong to me, only under severe certain circumstances such as if it was rape at 10 years of age, then maybe it can be negotiable. But this is just wrong in this picture and by far the saddest thing I have seen in a while.
ABORTION SHOULD NEVER BE AN OPTION.
It really shouldn’t.
