What Should We Do About Bobotoh

As we know,Bobotoh is the icon of the Bandung City,they always there when Persib plays,wearing blue costume and Persib scarf.Bobotoh is not limited to the people in Bandung who support Persib,it also encompasses they who lives outisde Bandung City.They make the match merrier,and enliven the game.But the problem here is they sometime act vandal and violent.So,the House is considering to disolve the Bobotoh.

Some of the advantages of dissolving the Bobotoh are the traffic will stay empty when the Persib play,there will be no more act of violence caused by the clash between Bobotoh and the supporters of other club and when they upset sometime they destruct the public facilities.

In the other hand,if we about to dissolve the Bobotoh then the merchandise seller who usually sell the Persib merchandise will lose their income because there will be no supporter who will buy their merchandise.Not just that,the Persib match will lose its passion,because the game will be just a game without their supporters and the Persib players could lose their passion to play football.

In the end,I think that if we dissolve the Bobotoh it will not solve the problem because the problem is not the existence of the club supporters.What must be corrected is their attitude.

Koala

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) or inaccurately, koala bear is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to the eastern states of Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae, and its closest living relatives are the wombats.

Characteristics of Koala

The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. It is easily recognisable by its stout, tailless body; round, fluffy ears; and large, spoon-shaped nose.





 Being marsupials, koalas give birth to underdeveloped young that crawl into their mothers' pouches, where they stay for the first six to seven months of their life. These young koalas are known as joeys, and are fully weaned at around a year. Koalas have few natural predators and parasites but are threatened by various pathogens, like Chlamydiaceae bacteria and the koala retrovirus, as well as bushfires and droughts.
Kingdom: Animalia             
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Infraclass: Marsupialia                                              
Order: Diprotodontia
Suborder: Vombatiformes
Family: Phascolarctidae
Genus: Phascolarctos
Species: P. cinereus

Short Story

High and Lifted Up
It was a windy day.
     The mailman barely made it to the front door. When the door opened, Mrs. Pennington said, "hello", but, before she had a real chance to say "thank you", the mail blew out of the mailman's hands, into the house and the front door slammed in his face. Mrs. Pennington ran to pick up the mail.
     "Oh my," she said.
     Tommy was watching the shutters open and then shut, open and then shut.
     "Mom," he said, "may I go outside?"
     "Be careful," she said. "It's so windy today."
     Tommy crawled down from the window-seat and ran to the door. He opened it with a bang. The wind blew fiercely and snatched the newly recovered mail from Mrs. Pennington's hands and blew it even further into the house.
     "Oh my," she said again. Tommy ran outside and the door slammed shut.
     Outside, yellow, gold, and red leaves were leaping from swaying trees, landing on the roof, jumping off the roof, and then chasing one another down the street in tiny whirlwinds of merriment.
     Tommy watched in fascination.
     "If I was a leaf, I would fly clear across the world," Tommy thought and then ran out into the yard among the swirl of colors.
     Mrs. Pennington came to the front porch.
     "Tommy, I have your jacket. Please put it on."
     However, there was no Tommy in the front yard.
     "Tommy?"
     Tommy was a leaf. He was blowing down the street with the rest of his play-mates.
     A maple leaf came close-by, touched him and moved ahead. Tommy met him shortly, brushed against him, and moved further ahead. They swirled around and around, hit cars and poles, flew up into the air and then down again.
<  2  >
     "This is fun," Tommy thought.
     The maple leaf blew in front of him. It was bright red with well-defined veins. The sun-light shone through it giving it a brilliance never before seen by a little boy's eyes.
     "Where do you think we are going?" Tommy asked the leaf.
     "Does it matter?" the leaf replied. "Have fun. Life is short."
     "I beg to differ," an older leaf said suddenly coming beside them. "The journey may be short, but the end is the beginning."
     Tommy pondered this the best a leaf could ponder.
     "Where do we end up?"
     "If the wind blows you in that direction," the old leaf said, "you will end up in the city dump."
     "I don't want that," Tommy said.
     "If you are blown in that direction, you will fly high into the air and see things that no leaf has seen before."
     "Follow me to the city dump," the maple leaf said. "Most of my friends are there."
     The wind blew Tommy and the maple leaf along. Tommy thought of his choices. He wanted to continue to play.
     "Okay," Tommy said, "I will go with you to the dump."
     The winds shifted and Tommy and the leaf were blown in the direction of the city dump.
     The old leaf didn't follow. He was blown further down the block and suddenly lifted up high into the air.
     "Hey," he called out, "the sights up here. They are spectacular. Come and see."
<  3  >
     Tommy and the maple leaf ignored him.
     "I see something. I see the dump." The old leaf cried out. "I see smoke. Come up here. I see fire."
     "I see nothing," the maple leaf said.
     Tommy saw the fence that surrounded the city dump. He was happy to be with his friend. They would have fun in the dump.
     Suddenly, a car pulled up. It was Tommy's mom. Mrs. Pennington wasn't about to let her little boy run into the city dump.
     "Not so fast," she said getting out of the car. "You are not allowed to play in there. Don't you see the smoke?"
     Tommy watched the maple leaf blow against the wall and struggle to get over. He ran over to get it but was unable to reach it.
     Mrs. Pennington walked over and took the leaf. She put it in her pocket.
     "There," she said, "it will be safe until we get home."
     Tommy smiled, ran to the car and got in. He rolled down the back window and looked up into the sky. He wondered where the old leaf had gone. Perhaps one day he would see what the old leaf had seen - perhaps.
