Family Challenges Outside The Home


Canoeing is an activity in the middle of nature. Invite someone who travels in a canoe for the first time, through the holding of the palette, and spontaneously he rowing, rowing which begins to enter the water. At the beginning, the movement will be a bit awkward, he got his rowing, rowing and too prone to lean in one direction. But after an hour had passed, he will be familiar with the movement of oars, paddles, and after one day, almost every person whether man, woman, children will be able to row well. After several canoes, he will be quite adept.
I believe that this is one reason why the form of canoes actually remained unchanged since the canoes of Indians was discovered by French explorers who went to North America in the 17th century. Both then and now, is a perfect canoe for transport in rivers and lakes. Assembly materials have changed but the same design and there is no reason to change it.
Canoe is the most popular in Europe made of plastic reinforced with glass fibers. You can still buy a canvas covered wood canoe. For the purposes of rowing race in the river and sightseeing in general, plastic reinforced with glass fiber and aluminum canoe the most potent. Canoe is a lighter, without the need to maintain and cheap.
If it gets cut by coral, canoeing of any kind will be easily repaired. If you have plans to canoe on the great lakes, it is the best type of upholstered wood canvas canoe, known as the Canadian canoe. A deeper level, the higher edge of the lip, the arc height and width to deal with large waves, and the cork buoys along the fence to adjust the balance.

The Boat

Before starting the canoe, recognize the boat that will drive for several hours. After wearing a life jacket, practice of exchanging seats with friends in places shallow and calm water. Standing in unison, advanced to the stern with the bow, keeping the balance of weight and motion to each other. Mastery of the reversed situation in shallow water exercises is the first thing to do for beginners, you will know how difficult it is to reverse the boat that seems out of balance. To reverse the canoe, the boat tilted to one side as far as possible until rolled back. Airspace under the bow deck and Stern will still float canoe which full of water, and will maintain your weight Furthermore, in order to restore the original canoe, one canoe paddler is still holding strong and the others draw water out of the boat with a scoop, a small tin, but, or hands.

Beach Vacation

Beach is a favorite place for most people for vacation, but many of them don't realize that the beach is easily contaminated. So be careful to preserve the beauty and cleanliness. A lot of little things we can do and give meaning to the maintenance of the coastal environment, for example:


- When we vacation to the beach, take the time to clean up some of the coast, 
  take a plastic garbage, beverage cans and paper and then input it into the trash.


- Remember that the beach is very easily contaminated, so be careful keeping it clean 
  and comfortable for the beach vacation.


- Take our rubbish home when we are on beach vacation, if there is no adequate trash can on  
   the field. Around the world, about two million birds and 100,000 marine mammals die each  
   year from head trapped or injured by carelessly discarded rubbish on the coast area.


- For lovers of sport fishing - make sure all the equipment that we brought home. Hook fishing 
  weights, cables and networks can be equally harmful to humans and other animals. 
  In other words, don't throw away the remnants of appliances and other garbage at sea and 
  on the shore. We certainly know that these materials pollute and kill sea birds, 
  marine animals, turtles and fish.


- Keep the vehicle from a pile of sand - vegetation growing on it is very easily damaged 
  and very slow growth.


- water skiing, scuba diving and power-boating can cause damage to electrical interference 
  and even marine life, such as birds and whales and dolphins.


- When we diving, enjoy and admire the beauty of the underwater world, but let the coral reefs 
  in their natural habitat, which is under water. Damage to coral reefs will damage the ecosystem 
  due to the disruption of natural cycles in ocean life.


That's a few tips to increase knowledge about a beach vacation.

Turn off your cell phone before you Board the Plane

It's very important to turn off your cell phone before you board the plane because modern aircraft depend greatly on radio waves to perform numerous functions, such as communication with the control tower, navigation, and regulation of cabin atmosphere. Radio wave interference from a cell phone seriously disturb these function.

You may not be aware that even when your cell phone is on standby it still sends out an electromagnetic signal that notifies the cellular network’s computer that the phone is active and can be contacted. The signal becomes stronger when the transmitter at the base terminal station (BTS) communicates with the cell phone to send a voice call or short message (SMS).

Actually, once the aircraft has taken off and approaches its cruising altitude, your cell phone will not work anyway, because the plane is too far from the BTS. Furthermore, the plane move so fast that once the phone’s presence has been detected and registered by a cell in the cellular network, the phone is no longer within that’s cell range. Yet if your cell phone is active, it is continually emitting electromagnetic signals that could seriously disrupt the aviation equipment.

Law No. 1/2009 regulates the use of handphones as stipulated in Article XXII Section 412 paragraph 5-7, which states that every person in an aircraft during flight who operates electronic equipment that interfere with aviation navigation, as referred to in Article 54 letter f, shall be punished with imprisonment of 2 (two) years or a fine of Rp. 200.000.000,- (two hundred million rupiahs).

The next paragraph states that if the accident resulted in damage or loss of aircraft and property, he or she shall be punished with imprisonment of 5 (five) years and maximum fine of Rp. 2.500.000.000 (two billion five hundred million rupiah). If his or her action resulted in permanent disability of death of person, he or she is liable to imprisonment of 15 (fifteen) years.

Article 431 paragraph 1-2 states that every person using a radio frequency, apart for flight activity purposes, that directly or indirectly interferes with aviation safety referred to an Article 306 shall be punished with imprisonment of 5 (five) years and a maximum of fine of Rp. 100.000.000,- (one hundred million rupiah), while paragraph 2 states that a criminal act as referred to in paragraph (1) that results in the death of person(s) shall be imprisoned 15 (fifteen) year and fined a maximum amount of Rp. 100.000.000,-.

So for your own safety and that of your fellow passengers, you must turn off your cell phone as soon as you enter the plane. If you have a phone in your carry-on luggage, check to make sure that it is turned completely off. The regulation has become the main agenda for Garuda Indonesia Airways.
