The proclamation of Indonesian Independence was read at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, 17

August 1945. The document was signed by Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta, who awere
appointed president and vice-president respectively the following day. The draft was prepared
only a few hours earlier on the night of 16 August 1945 by Soekarno, Hatta, and Soebardjo,
at the house of Rear-Admiral Tadashi Maeda.
The wording of the proclamation had been discussed at length and had to balance both
conflicting internal Indonesian and Japanese interests. Soekarno drafted the final
proclamation which balanced the interests of both the members of the youth movement and
the Japanese. The term ‘transfer of power’ was used in Indonesian to satisfy Japanese
interests to appear that it was an administrative transfer of power, although the term used
‘pemindahan kekuasaan’ could be perceived to mean political power. The wording ‘by
careful mean’ was used to prevent conflict with members of the youth movement. The
wording ‘in the shortest possible time’ was used to meet the needs of all Indonesian for
independence.
Initially the proclamation was to be announced at Ikada Square, but the military had
been seen to monitor the area, so the venue was changed to Soekarno’s house at 56
Pegangsaan Timur. The proclamation was heard throughout the country because the text was
secretly broadcast by Indonesian radio personnel using the transmitters of now Radio
Republik Indonesia.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious
problem for some reasons. First, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological

Rain and Tears
By Demis Roussos

Rain and tears, are the same

But in the sun you've got to play the game
When you cry in winter times
You can’t pretend, it's nothing but the rain
How many times I've seen
Tears coming from your blue eyes
Rain and tears, are the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game
Give an answer of love (O----ooohhh)

For in my heart there 'll never be a sun

Outdoors
Song by: Jason Mraz
All day I’ve been inside
And I’ve got the feeling
I’m trapped between the walls
And underneath the ceiling
I feel a bit off track
And now I’m trying to get back
So, I won’t stay inside
No more no more
It can’t wait, I’m sure
There’s need to run and hide
Let’s go explore
It feels so great let’s go outdoors

Back in the cool, cool air
Where the sun is shining
Nothing’s going to stop me
It’s all in the timing
It’s finally again my turn
It’s time to return
Cause I won’t stay inside
No more no more
I can’t wait to go outdoors
Well open up your door and be like me
Open up your door and then breathe free
And look at all the beauty you’ll feel
Loved, loved, loved, loved
Listen to the music of the wind
And the brides sing
We’re just one big family
And all of nature deserves to be
Loved, loved, loved, loved
(Don’t cha do)
Everyone come on
come on out there
where the air is fresh and clear
So, I won’t stay inside
No more no more
It cannot wait
Let’s go outdoors
Well, open up your door and be like me
Open up your door and then breathe free
And look at all the beauty and you’ll find
The earth and the sky is yours
So please go, there’s no need,
There’s no need to hide inside
Let’s go explore
This will, this will feel so great
Let’s go outdoors

A Beautiful Mind is a biographical movie about John Forbes Nash Junior,

mathematical genius with hard fate. At the beginning of this carrier he has made
enormous contribution in the field of Game Theory, which was a revolution in this
mathematical area and almost brought international fame to the author. The movie
was filmed in 2001 by Ron Howard and today it is called modern classics: a true
drama, making you think and evoking emotions.
Such movie, telling us about the life of a famous person, are always difficult to assess,
because any such creations somehow pretend to be biographical ones. But in fact they
are just a glance of one particular producer on the life of another individual. Of
course, much depends on the actor who will perform the role of the protagonist and
after watching A Beautiful Mind I will agree with this once again.
