Ibrahimovic Datang 2 Striker Milan Menyingkir
Kedatangan Zlatan Ibrahimovic ke AC Milan tampaknya akan membawa korban. Setelah striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar ingin hijrah, kini giliran Marco Borriello.
Borriello merasa akan susah mendapatkan posisi inti di Rossoneri akibat kehadiran mantan striker Barcelona dan Inter Milan itu. Ia kini sedang bicara dengan agennya untuk mempertimbangkan hijrah. Sebelumnya, striker Belanda, Klaas Jan Huntelaar juga menyatakan keinginan serupa.
"Zlatan pemain juara. Kedatangannya membuat posisi saya semakin susah," kata Borriello yang juga striker timnas Italia ini seperti dilansir Milannews.
"Saya akan mengevaluasi masa depan dan bicara dengan agen saya. Saya ingin terus bermain, karena saya masih berada di puncak permainan," lanjutnya.
Borriello menjadi starter kala Rossoneri menghancurkan Lecce 4-0 di giornata pembuka Serie A, dimana Ibrahimovic menonton dari tribun. Biasanya, striker 28 tahun ini ditandemkan dengan Alexandre Pato.
Borriello sempat dirumorkan akan dibarter dengan Ibra ke Barcelona, tapi kabar itu hilang dengan sendirinya.

Cara Alami Miliki Payudara Indah
Memiliki payudara padat berisi adalah dambaan sejumlah orang. Mereka yang bernyali besar mengandalkan meja operasi untuk menyuntikkan cairan silikon. Padahal, ada cara lebih alami untuk mengencangkan otot payudara sehingga terkesan lebih padat dan berisi.
Seperti dikutip dari laman Times of India, kuncinya adalah estrogen dalam tubuh. Konsumsilah makanan yang dapat merangsang produksi estrogen seperti biji rami, kacang kedelai, bahkan tahu.
Estrogen adalah hormon wanita yang bertanggung jawab membuat tubuh terlihat lebih berisi, termasuk memengaruhi ukuran payudara. Hormon ini juga mempengaruhi pikiran banyak wanita terhadap pertumbuhan payudaranya.
Selama masa pubertas, hormon ini berperan penting dalam mencipta perubahan fisik dari anak remaja menjadi seorang wanita dewasa. Rangsangan estrogen mulai terjadi saat mengalami menstruasi. Saat itulah lekuk tubuh mulai terbentuk dan payudara mulai tumbuh.
Usia 12-16 tahun adalah masa puncak pertumbuhan 'aset' wanita. Selepas itu, tingkat estrogen dalam tubuh secara dramatis berkurang seiring lenyapnya masa pubertas, sehingga ukuran payudara juga memasuki fase stabil atau tetap. Ini berarti, untuk membuat payudara lebih berisi secara alami, perlu konsumsi lebih banyak 'estrogen'.
Jadi sekarang memiliki payudara yang lebih padat dan berisi bukanlah fantasi. Hindari cara yang membahayakan seperti suntik silikon atau operasi pembesaran payudara. Dengan diet sehat konsumsi makanan peningkat estrogen, Anda bisa tampil percaya diri dengan payudara indah alami. (pet) • VIVAnews

Internet Ancam Terbitan Kamus Inggris Oxford
Kemajuan dunia internet yang mencakup segala bidang semakin menggerus dunia percetakan ortodoks; dengan kertas dan tinta. Diantaranya yang terancam tidak akan dicetak lagi karena kalah pamor dengan versi online adalah Kamus Inggris Oxford (Oxford English Dictionary/OED). Selama puluhan tahun, kamus bahasa Inggris terbitan Oxford itu merupakan salah satu referensi yang paling dipercaya.
Saat ini, tim yang terdiri dari 80 orang ahli kamus (lexicographer) sedang mempersiapkan edisi ketiga OED, yang sepertiganya telah selesai. Penerbitnya, Oxford University Press (OUP), belum memberikan tanggal pasti kapan kamus ini siap edar. Namun melihat penjualan edisi cetak yang anjlok karena kalah dengan versi online, edisi OED ketiga ini sepertinya hanya akan diterbitkan dengan format digital.
“Saat ini kami menerima banyaknya permintaan untuk versi online. Namun, versi cetak akan kami pertimbangkan jika terdapat permintaan yang cukup pada saat publikasi,” ujar pernyataan OUP.
Hal ini dibenarkan oleh Kepala eksekutif OUP, Nigel Portwood. Dia mengatakan pada sebuah wawancara dengan Sunday Times bahwa edisi terbaru mungkin tidak akan dicetak. “Pasar untuk kamus cetak sudah menghilang. Pasarnya turun puluhan persen dalam satu tahun,” ujar Portwood.
Versi online OED, yang sudah ada sejak tahun 2000, telah di-klik dua juta kali dalam sebulan oleh para pelanggan yang membayar US$ 296 per tahun. Sebagai perbandingan, edisi cetak saat ini, yang diterbitkan tahun 1989, terdiri dari 20 volume seharga US$ 1.165, hanya terjual sekitar 30.000 set.
Editor melakukan pembaruan (update) setiap tiga bulan. Contohnya, pada Maret lalu mereka menambahkan kata “techy”dan “superbug”untuk versi online. Hal ini tentunya tidak bisa dilakukan pada versi cetak yang memerlukan waktu yang lebih lama untuk melakukan pembaharuan.
Hal ini merupakan salah satu tanda kemudahan dan kecepatan internet, serta kemudahannya di-update, sedang menggerogoti fungsi dari buku cetak. Google dan Wikipedia lebih populer sebagai sumber informasi daripada Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Puluhan kamus online yang tersedia dapat mengartikan kata dalam sekali klik, semudah membalikkan telapak tangan. Bahkan aplikasi ini tersedia juga pada perangkat telepon genggam.
Namun terlalu cepat untuk mengatakan bahwa kamus digital akan menghapuskan kamus cetak. Portwood mengatakan bahwa sekolah-sekolah masih mengandalkan kamus cetak. Selain itu, permintaan kamus yang laris dijual, the Advanced Learner's Dictionary, masih tinggi bagi warga non-native yang belajar bahasa Inggris.
OED pertama kali diterbitkan berjilid mulai tahun 1884.Terbitannya terus berkembang selama beberapa dekade, sampai versi lengkapnya terbit pada tahun 1928. Terbitan ini adalah kamus Inggris terlengkap sejak kamus Samuel Johnson's “A Dictionary of the English Language” diterbitkan pada tahun 1755.
Sejak saat itu, OED terus berkembang. Versi kedua yang ada saat ini memiliki 291.500 kata, ditambah dengan 2,4 juta kutipan sebagai sumbernya. (Associated Press)• VIVAnews

Terlempar dari 2 Besar, Lorenzo Frustrasi
Terusir dari posisi 2 besar untuk kali pertama musim ini di MotoGP AS di Indianapolis, Senin dinihari WIB 30 Agustus 2010, membuat Jorge Lorenzo frustrasi. Rider FIAT Yamaha itu hanya bisa menyalahkan dirinya sendiri.
Lorenzo menambah deretan pembalap yang mengkritik kondisi Sirkuit Indianapolis setelah Valentino Rossi dan Casey Stoner. Rider asal Spanyol ini harus bekerja keras untuk meraih posisi 3 di Indianapolis.
Lorenzo memulai balapan dari posisi 2 di belakang Ben Spies dan sempat turun ke posisi 5 sebelum akhirnya meraih podium di posisi 3. Meski puas dengan tambahan 16 poin yang berharga, pembalap 23 tahun ini mengaku kecewa dengan jalannya balapan.
"Jelas saya tidak boleh kecewa dengan posisi ketiga. Tapi, di saat yang bersamaan saya tidak senang dengan balapan hari ini. Saya tidak membalap sebagus sebelumnya dan tidak mendapat start yang bagus," ujar Lorenzo seperti dilansir situs resmi MotoGP.
"Kondisi trek sangat sulit dan saya tidak punya kekuatan untuk menekan seperti yang saya lakukan saat latihan. Ini seperti balapan di Malaysia, treknya sangat licin dan sangat sulit menggunakan ban seperti yang Anda inginkan. Sejujurnya, saya beruntung bisa meraih posisi ketiga," lanjut Lorenzo.
"Hal positifnya kami meraih sejumlah poin dan sekarang saya harus konsentrasi dan memulihkan diri sebelum balapan di Misano. Karena kami tidak punya banyak waktu," tutup Lorenzo. • VIVAnews

Obama Tidak Peduli Disebut Muslim
Presiden Barack Obama tidak ambil pusing dengan sejumlah survei, yang mengungkapkan makin banyak warga di AS percaya dia adalah Muslim. Dia pun tidak mau larut dalam pergunjingan publik, yang mempersoalkan apakah Obama asli Amerika atau tidak.
"Saya tidak akan begitu khawatir mengenai rumor apapun yang sedang muncul," kata Obama dalam wawancara dengan stasiun televisi NBC, yang ditayangkan Minggu, 29 Agustus 2009 waktu setempat. "Kalau saya menghabiskan waktu mempersoalkan [rumor] itu, maka saya tidak akan bisa kerja," lanjut Obama.
Ketika itu, Obama ditanya NBC komentarnya mengenai hasil survei yang dipublikasikan awal Agustus ini. Menurut survei dari Pew Research Center dan Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, jumlah responden yang menilai Obama adalah muslim kini sebanyak 18 persen dari total partisipan. Jumlah itu meningkat tujuh persen dari hasil survei Maret 2009.
Pada survei yang sama, jumlah respoden yang yakin bahwa Obama adalah umat Kristen kini hanya 34 persen, padahal tahun lalu sebesar 48 persen. Menariknya lagi, sebanyak 43 persen responden saat ini mengaku tidak tahu agama apa yang dianut Obama.
Survei Majalah Time/ABT SRBI, yang berlangsung 16-17 Agustus lalu, mengungkapkan bahwa 47 persen responden menganggap Obama adalah Nasrani, sedangkan 24 persen percaya dia Muslim, sedangkan 24 persen mengaku tidak tahu atau tidak memberi jawaban.
Menurut kalangan media massa di AS, pandangan respoden atas keyakinan Obama itu terkait dengan dukungannya atas pembangunan suatu masjid di kawasan Manhattan, New York. Saat mengadakan acara buka puasa di Gedung Putih, Jumat 13 Agustus 2010, Obama menyatakan bahwa Islam merupakan bagian dari Amerika dan umat Muslim berhak mendirikan tempat ibadah di manapun, termasuk di Manhattan.
Beberapa hari lalu, juru bicara Gedung Putih "meluruskan" hasil survei dengan menegaskan bahwa Obama adalah seorang Nasrani. "Presiden jelasnya adalah seorang Nasrani. Dia berdoa setiap hari," kata juru bicara Gedung Putih, Bill Burton, Kamis 19 Agustus 2010.
Obama pun tidak peduli dengan pergunjingan bahwa dia bukan orang Amerika karena tidak lahir di Negeri Paman Sam. Kalangan konservatif mempertanyakan keaslian akta lahir Obama, yang menyebut bahwa dia lahir di Honolulu, Hawaii. "Saya tidak bisa menghabiskan waktu dengan menempelkan akta kelahiran di jidat saya," tutur Obama. (Associated Press)• VIVAnews

10 Efek Buruk Minuman Bersoda
Ketika merasa haus, banyak di antara kita melepas dahaga dengan sebotol soda dingin. Apalagi saat ramadan, soda dingin ketika berbuka puasa terasa sangat menyegarkan tenggorokan yang kering. Rayuan iklan pun acapkali membuat kita tergiur dengan minuman berkarbonasi itu.
Tapi tahukah Anda, bahwa soda adalah salah satu minuman terburuk selain alkohol? Anda bisa terkena candu kafein dalam soda. Belum lagi kandungan gulanya yang sangat tinggi. Kenali 10 efek berbahaya minuman bersoda bagi tubuh seperti dikutip dari Method of Healing.
1. Menaikkan berat badan
Minum satu kaleng soda tiap hari dalam sebulan akan menaikkan berat badan sebanyak setengah kilogram.
2. Tidak ada nilai gizi dalam soda
Saat kehausan atau setelah berpuasa, tubuh membutuhkan cairan yang bernutrisi. Sedangkan soda tak memiliki nilai gizi di dalamnya. Minuman ini hanya akan menjadi 'limbah' dalam tubuh.
3. Meningkatkan risiko diabetes
Tingginya kadar gula dalam soda mampu meningkatkan risiko Anda terkena diabetes.
4. Soda dapat menyebabkan osteoporosis
Bila meminum soda dengan kandungan kalsium rendah, Anda bisa terkena keropos tulang atau osteoporosis.
5. Soda bisa merusak gigi
Kandungan senyawa soda mampu mengikis dan merusak lapisan enamel gigi. Sehingga gigi jadi mudah berlubang dan rusak.
6. Soda berefek terhadap kerusakan ginjal
Orang yang gemar minum soda berisiko lebih besar terkena batu ginjal serta kerusakan pada ginjal.
7. Memicu penyakit maag
Soda menjadikan peminumnya berpeluang lebih besar terkena dan memperparah penyakit maag.
8. Soda menimbulkan dehidrasi
Kadar kafein dan gula dalam soda dapat menyebabkan tubuh dehidrasi.
9. Soda mengacaukan sistem pencernaan
Ketahuilah, asam dalam soda tidak bereaksi dengan baik dalam sistem pencernaan.
10. Diet soda berbahaya
Soda diet mengandung pemanis buatan aspartam yang diakitkan dengan beberapa gangguan seperti fenilketonuria.
Alternatif Sehat Pengganti Soda?
Lantas apa yang bisa membantu Anda untuk melepaskan diri dari ketergantungan terhadap soda? Jika menilik nilai gizinya, jus merupakan pilihan minuman terbaik. Sedangkan air putih merupakan minuman terbaik agar tubuh tetap terhidrasi. Satu hingga dua gelas jus buah setiap hari, ditambah enam gelas air putih serta minuman yang diperkaya kalsium adalah paduan terbaik untuk kesehatan. (adi)

Parsel Isi Bom Meledak di Apartemen
Sebuah bom rakitan meledak di depan sebuah unit apartemen di desa Tun Razak, Cheras, Malaysia pada Minggu, 29 Agustus 2010. Ledakan ini menewaskan seorang wanita dan menyebabkan seorang pria kritis, juga menimbulkan kerusakan kecil terhadap lima unit bangunan.
Ng Siew Hong, 51 tahun menderita luka bakar 90 persen setelah membuka paket parsel berisi bahan peledak. Ng Siew Hong kemudian dilarikan ke Rumah Sakit Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Ng Siew Hong kemudian tewas setelah ditransfer ke Rumah Sakit Kuala Lumpur.
Kepolisian Malaysia menyebutkan ledakan tidak terkait dengan aksi terorisme. Inspektur Jenderal Polisi Tan Sri Musa Hassan menduga ledakan terkait masalah keuangan.
"Berdasarkan penyelidikan kami, insiden itu kemungkinan besar terkait dengan masalah keuangan. Kami akan terus menyelidiki masalah secara menyeluruh," kata dia kepada The Star.
Ketua Kepolisia Lokal (OCPD) Abd Rahim Hamzah Othman mengatakan, pemilik apartemen di lantai 12 mendengar ketukan di pintunya sekitar pukul 08.30 WIB. Dia menemukan kotak dengan hiasan yang tergeletak di depan pintu apartemennya.
Lim, pemilik apartemen, kemudian mencium bau minyak tanah dari dalam kotak. Kemudian Lim meminta tetangganya untuk mengecek kotak tersebut.
Dia akhirnya meminta dua pekerjanya Ng dan Goh Yong Seng untuk memeriksa kotak. Ketika dibuka, kotak itu kemudian meledak,
Ng tewas, sedangkan Goh kini menderita luka bakar yang serius dan dalam kondisi kritis. Goh saat ini dirawat di Rumah Sakit Kuala Lumpur yang memiliki unit pengobatan luka bakar yang lebih baik.
Abd Rahim menjelaskan polisi tidak mengesampingkan motif bisnis sebagai penyebab di balik bom tersebut. Walau demikian, pemilik apartemen yang memiliki kafe internet dan restoran menyangkal pernah menerima ancaman apapun.• VIVAnews

Jamban John Lennon Laku Rp133 Juta
Jamban yang pernah dipakai musisi legendaris John Lennon, dilelang. Salah satu peserta lelang, rela merogok koceknya £9,500 atau sekitar Rp133 juta, untuk memiliki toilet milik pentolan The Beatles ini.
Harga ini hampir mencapai 10 kali lipat dari harga penawaran lelang, seperti dilansir dari laman The Telegraph. Semula, kloset yang terbuat dari porselen ini dibandrol £1,000 pada acara Konvensi ke-33 The Beatles di Liverpool.

Perang Hacker Indonesia Malaysia
Jakarta – Dedemit maya yang mengaku dari Indonesia kembali meluncurkan serangan pada situs internet milik warga Malaysia. Kali ini sasarannya adalah situs yang dikelola oleh perguruan tinggi yang cukup terkenal di negera tetangga kita ini, yakni Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM).
Situs resmi UUM yang beralamat di uum.edu.my, nampak dipermak habis oleh sang cracker. Pengamatan detikINET, halaman situs menampilkan gambar tengkorak muncul di tengah-tengah bendera Malaysia. Selain itu juga ada rekaman foto aksi pembakaran bendera Malaysia.
Sepertinya aksi ini dipicu oleh kekesalan para cracker yang menilai Malaysia terus berulah merongrong kedaulatan negara Indonesia. Hal ini tampak pada pesan yang ditampilkan di situs tersebut:
“Rakyat Indonesia cinta damai, tapi kalau terus-terusan diusik dan dilecehkan kami juga bisa marah, sabar ada batasnya. Pulau Sipadan dan Ligitan sudah diambil, sekarang mau mencaplok blok Ambalat, Saudara Kami yang ada di sana Dengan Kejinya Kalian Siksa tanpa Rasa kemanusiaan..!! Ini adalah peringatan dari kami, Jika kalian terus mengusik kami, maka akan kami lanjutkan perjuangan ini dengan cara kami sendiri..!,”
Tidak jelas siapa sebenarnya yang berada di balik aksi serangan cyber ini. Pelaku hanya memakai identitas bernama the_g3mb3L pada halaman situs yang telah diserang. Namun ada baiknya, kita semua tetap berkepala dingin agar tidak terpancing provokasi yang bisa merugikan banyak pihak.
