Arsenal 3-1 Fulham

Fulham remain a point above the Premiership relegation zone after losing out to two late Arsenal goals.

The Gunners started brightly and were soon ahead when Julio Baptista headed home Emmanuel Adebayor's early cross.

Arsenal should have wrapped up victory long before Simon Davies lobbed Fulham level after Jens Lehmann's mistake.

But with six minutes left Adebayor slotted home to make it 2-1 before Gilberto scored from the spot after Alexander Hleb was fouled in the area.

My Beloved City

In the north the volatile, Mount Merapi – the Fire Mountain with captivating physical beauty stands vigorously guarding the surrounding nature.

They have a mystical relation with Merapi to live in harmony with 'the rulers' of the mountain to keep them safe and peaceful.

Indonesiana


Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia), is a nation of about 17,500 islands[2] in South East Asia, and the world's largest archipelagic state. With a population of over 200 million, it is the world's fourth most populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority nation. With a democratically elected parliament and president, Indonesia is considered the world's third largest democracy (after India and the United States).[3] Its capital is Jakarta, and the country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia and by sea Indonesia neighbours Singapore, The Philippines and Australia.

The Indonesian archipelago, home of the Spice Islands, has been an important trade destination since at least the time of the Srivijaya Kingdom with whom seventh century Chinese sailors traded.[4] Indonesia's history has been influenced by numerous foreign powers that were drawn to the archipelago by its wealth of natural resources; these have included Indians, under whose influence Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished beginning in the early centuries CE, Muslim traders who spread Islam from the thirteenth century,[5] and Europeans who fought for monopolization of the spice trade during the Age of Exploration. A Dutch colonial presence existed in Indonesia for over three centuries; however, Indonesian independence was declared in 1945, which received official international recognition four years later. Indonesia's post-independence history has been turbulent, with political instability including separatism and corruption, periods of rapid economic growth and decline, natural disaster, and a democratization process since 1998.

Indonesia is a unitary state consisting of numerous distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups spread across its numerous islands that have not always been united. However, a shared history of colonialism, rebellion against it, a national language, and a Muslim majority population have helped to define Indonesia as a state and nation.[6] Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka tunggal ika" ("Unity in diversity", derived from Old Javanese), reflects the amalgamation of a myriad cultures, languages, and ethnic groups that shape every aspect of the country.[7] Sectarian tensions and separatism, however, have threatened political stability in some regions, leading to violent confrontations.

OUR SMILE

Smile is the key of the feeling expressions. Smile is a representative from emotions. Someone's smile influence their face. If someone smilling their entire face smile. If someone sullen, their entire face sullen too. Why does it happen? Because the source of the face changing is their hearts, their feelings. When they are happy, their lips smilling, their entire face smilling. On the contrary, if the heart sullen, feels unhappy, the lips will representate it. If lip has seen a bad expression, then the entire face became bad too. It's amazing, how a smile can influence the entire face.

We can prove how a smile could influence the face, even someone else around us. You only do this simple thing. First sketch a circle, as an representative of a face. Draw the eyes, the nose and ears on that "face". Firstly sketch a horizontal line, as representative of mouth. What impression we get from the sketch? We have a solemn face. The eyes, nose, forehead, cheek, even the ears appearing that face. Secondly, erase the mouth, then make a beneath curve line, as a representative of a smile. The discernible image we get from the sketch is a cheerful and joyful face. The eyes, nose, forehead, cheek, even the ears appear that the face seen happy. It is a little strange, isn't it? Whereas we didn't change the eyes, nose and ears. Third, remove the smilling mouth then replace it with an upstairs curve line. What face we have now? That's a sad, glum face. Then see the eyes, nose, forehead, cheek, and the ears. They are seen sad too.
