Indonesia has embarked on the task of counting its islands in order to better
protect its territory and marine resources. It hopes to locate and name an
additional 1,700 islands in time for the UN Conference on the Standardization
of Geographical Names in August. Indonesia wants to claim sovereignty and
fishing rights in the waters surrounding the islands, many of which its
neighbors also claim.

The Indonesian government says illegal fishing in its waters is costing billions
of dollars in lost revenue each year. A fisheries spokeswoman told the BBC:
"Sixty per cent of islands in Indonesia don't have a name or officially have
legal status, so they can easily be taken or claimed by another country."

Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago. At the last UN conference on

geographical names in 2012, Indonesia registered 13,466 islands. A law in 1996
estimated that the number of islands was 17,508. The UN Convention on the
Law of the Sea defines an island as, "a naturally formed area of land,
surrounded by water, which is still exposed at high tide".

A spokesman from Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries

explained the scale of the task the counting team had. He said: "We have to
visit every one of these islands, and then we note the coordinates, the name,
the meaning of the name, the history of the land and describe the landscape
and its geographical history…all that in great detail."

7. What kind of rights does Indonesia want to claim?

     A. Water rights

     B. Legal rights
     C. Fishing rights
     D. Lost rights
     D. Mountain rights 
 

8. Why does the growth of Indonesian smokers  have to be

concerned?
     A. 1,000
     B. 11,000
     C. 17,000
     D. 7,100
     D. 1,700
 

9. When must an island be exposed for it to officially be an island?

     A. At noon
     B. At midnight
     C. At low tide
     D. At high tide
     D. At night

(Reuters Health) – Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake
after leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn’t seem to reduce those
errors, in a new study.

Consequences of mistakes – such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong
dose – can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure.
Two percent of errors were life-threatening.

Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication mistakes in
addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study’s lead
author from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

“We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of patients) were
still having these medication errors,” he told Reuters Health.

Although the pharmacist visits didn’t help the average patient, he added, certain ones
seemed to benefit – such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had trouble
understanding health information.

As for traditionally lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be
needed.

Ragunan Zoo: Not yet a world class attraction

The city administrastration offered Ragunan Zoo in South Jakarta the financial
support it need to become a world-class tourist destination, but the offer was
refused by the management.

Governor Joko ”Jokowi” Widodo offered to disburse up to Rp500 billion

(US$45,5 million) for the project, with the only requirement being a master plan
that would be valid for a century.

“The preparation to make the blueprint and macro design for the zoo should
start now. The administration is ready to release the funds as long as there is a
clear program,” he said on the sidelines of the public dialogue at the zoo on
Tuesday.

The newly installed zoo supervisor, business tycoon Hashim

Djojohadikusumo, declined the offer, saying that blueprint could only be
formulated next year.

He further insisted” we can request budget funds the following year once we
finish collecting public feed back.” Zoo director Marsawitri Gumay said that
the zoo was in dire need of more funds to improve infrastructure, such as
animal enclosures.

On regular days, the 147-hectare zoo is visited by around 3,000 people, this
number rises to 20,000 people on weekends and can reach 60,000 during
school holidays. During peak seasons, such as Idul Fitri, visitors can number
over 140,000 each day.

“With such a tight budget, we cannot make infrastructure improvements. Most

of enclosure need to be replaced, not to mention street vendors who enter the
zoo and littering visitors,” Marsawitri said.
