Cuma iseng saja sih sebenarnya. Tiap hari aku akan berusaha posting 1 artikel dari wikipedia disini. Artikelnya ntar random, aku pun tdk tahu apa yang akan dipost selanjutnya. Semoga bisa nambah wawasan kita :)
OK, untuk artikel pertama, aku ambil dari
sini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panna_District)
KutipPanna District
Panna District is a district of Madhya Pradesh state in central India. The town of Panna is the district headquarters. The district is part of Sagar Division.
Panna District was created in 1950, shortly after Indian independence, from the territory of several former princely states of British India, including the states of Panna, Jaso, most of Ajaigarh, and a portion of Paldeo. Panna District was part of the new Indian state of Vindhya Pradesh, which was merged into Madhya Pradesh on November 1, 1956.
OK, untuk artikel berikutnya, aku ambil dari
sini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrocurrency)
KutipPetrocurrency is a portmanteau neologism used with three distinct meanings, though often confused:
1. Trading surpluses of oil producing nations, originally called petrodollars
2. Currencies of oil producing nations which tend to rise in value against other currencies when the price of oil rises (and fall when it falls).
3. Currencies used to price the oil in the international market.
In general petrocurrency describes the money in dollars received by a country that exports oil. The US dollar is the only petrocurrency due the fact that the OPEC and other oil producing countries use it to denominate the price of oil.
The pound sterling is sometimes regarded as petrocurrency thanks to North Sea oil exports. The Australian dollar does not fall in this category, since Australia does not export a significant amount of oil every year.
The Canadian dollar is increasingly viewed as a petrocurrency. As the price of oil rises, oil-related export revenues rise, and thus constitute a larger component of Canadian exports. Thus, the movements of the Canadian dollar have become increasingly correlated with price of oil. For example, the exchange rate of Canadian dollars for Japanese yen (99% of Japan's oil is imported) is 85% correlated with crude prices.
A condition for a currency to become a petrocurrency is its long term stability. Long term stability can only be guaranteed by the volume of reserves the country of the currency has as well as by high oil prices. It is estimated that Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iran have oil reserves for the next 200 years, which make their currency favorite candidates for petrocurrencies.
Countries whose currencies could become petrocurrencies due to the volumes of petroleum they export and the volume of their oil reserves :
* Saudi Arabia - riyal (OPEC)
* Russia - Ruble
* Iran - rial (OPEC)
* Venezuela - bolivar (OPEC)

sini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minibus_Driver_Awareness_Scheme)
KutipMinibus Driver Awareness Scheme
The Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme, usually abbreviated to MiDAS, is a training and registration scheme for drivers of minibuses in the UK.
Following a number of serious accidents where drivers and passengers using minibuses were killed or serious injured in the 1990s the government, with the involvement of RoSPA and the Community Transport Association, created a programme to train and assess the competence of drivers. It may optionally include certification to use tail lifts and adaptations for wheelchairs that permit the passenger to travel safely whilst remaining in the chair.
Most volunteer drivers driving for community organisations and schools are now required to have and maintain their MiDAS qualification in order to carry out their duties, no matter that their normal driving licence may already entitle them to drive a minibus.
Bentar, ini bukannya cuma manfaatin Random Articles-nya Wikipedia? Apa nggak lebih baik tiap orang kasih link ke artikel favorit atau menarik yang pernah dia temukan, biar yang lain baca sendiri. Lagian ni cuma copy paste kan? Lebih menarik sekalian disadur, jadi yang penting aja yang dibawa ke sini. Kalau banyak yang tertarik, aku akan beri fasilitas wiki ;)
Aku sengaja kasih random article supaya nambah pengetahuan kita... Soalnya kalau disuruh kasih artikel yang menarik, ntar topiknya gak merata, cuma terpusat di topik-topik tertentu. Dengan pake random article, pengetahuan kita bisa lebih luas kan? :D
Topik hari ini aku ambil dari
sini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyphenisatine)
KutipOxyphenisatine
Oxyphenisatine (or oxyphenisatin acetate) is a laxative. It is closely related to Bisacodyl (Brand name: Dulcolax), Sodium Picosulfate, and Phenolthalein. It has been suggested that it is the laxative component in prunes. Long term use is associated with liver damage, and as a result, it was banned by the United States Food and Drug Administration in the early 1970's. Most of the rest of the world follows the FDA lead, so it is no longer available in most of the world.
Masalahnya kamu cuma kutip aja. Jadi apa bedanya sama aku ke Wikipedia langsung dan klik Random articles? Malah lebih enak langsung di Wikipedia, karena ada See also atau Related topics. Di teksnya juga ada topik yang bisa diklik untuk dibaca lebih lanjut. Itu link2 di teksnya kamu ilangin juga kan? ;)
Lain lagi kalau kamu kutip dan yang lain bisa bahas. Tapi karena topiknya pas ga mengena alias tidak terlalu menarik, aku no comment dulu :D
Ya masalahnya apa tiap hari kamu mau ke wikipedia dan klik random article? Prinsipku disini sih ya cuma membantu saja, jadi kalian tdk perlu buka wikipedia tiap hari. Misal kalian tertarik baca lebih lanjut tentang 1 topik, kan aku sdh kasih linknya. Tinggal klik saja, beres deh.... Masalah mau ngebahas, aku rasa gak perlu deh, toh anggap saja ini semacam headline news metro TV. Apa perlu tiap beritanya dibahas?

psoriasis. Pantes tadi aku cari nggak nemu...
Ni kutipan artikelnya.
Kutip dari: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PsoriasisPsoriasis (pronounced /səˈraɪəsɪs/) is a disease which affects the skin and joints. It commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. The scaly patches caused by psoriasis, called psoriatic plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production. Skin rapidly accumulates at these sites and takes a silvery-white appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals. Psoriasis is hypothesized to be immune-mediated and is not contagious.

Hari ini lumayan bagus lah, tapi stub :P Diambil dari sini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loulis_%28chimpanzee%29).
Kutip dari: Loulis (chimpanzee)Loulis (born May 10, 1978) is a chimpanzee who is the first non-human to ever learn a human language from other non-humans.
Loulis was named for two caregivers (Louise and Lisa) at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was born. After ten months at Yerkes, Loulis was transferred to Oklahoma with Roger Fouts and Washoe, his adoptive mother. In 1980, the family moved to Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. By 1993, the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI) was built for the family to reside. Loulis's biological mother remained at Yerkes and was used for medical research.
Washoe and 3 other chimpanzees (Tatu, Dar, and Moja) were raised as deaf human children and acquired American Sign Language. The chimpanzees regularly use the hand signals to communicate with each other and humans. Loulis is the only chimpanzee in the family who was not cross-fostered (he wasn't raised by humans but rather Washoe and the other chimpanzees). After eight days with Washoe, Loulis learned his first sign. For the first five years of his life, Loulis's human handlers only used seven signs around him (the signs used were who, which, want, where, name, that, and sign). Loulis was able to acquire the use of ASL from Washoe. The details of this research can be found in "Teaching Sign Language to Chimpanzees" edited by Allen and Beatrix Gardner.
Loulis is known for his quirks, especially his obsession with people putting objects on their heads.

KutipSpace Chimps is an upcoming computer-animated film produced by Vanguard Animation and Starz Media and released by 20th Century Fox on May 2, 2008. The film was directed by Kirk De Micco, producer Barry Sonnenfeld and starring the voices of Andy Samberg, Jeff Daniels, Cheryl Hines, Kenan Thompson, Stanley Tucci, Kristin Chenoweth and Patrick Warburton.

Plot
Seeking to capitalize on the Ham family name, a senator (Stanley Tucci) recruits Ham III (Andy Samberg), the ne'er-do-well grandson of the first chimp astronaut sent into space, to travel through a black hole to a strange, uncharted planet where he and his simian colleagues (Cheryl Hines, Patrick Warburton) embark on a fantastical journey to save its inhabitants from a tyrannical leader (Jeff Daniels).
