Musa balbisiana Colla (BBB Group) or Musa (BBB Group). Musaceae. CN: [Malay and regional vernacular names - Pisang galla, Pisang benggala, Pisang batu, Biu batu (Bali), Pisang klotok (Jawa; sharing the name with Musa acuminata Colla (ABB Group) 'Pisang Awak', likely the seedy cultivar.), Kluai taanee, Kluai tani (Thai กล้วยตานี)], Balbis banana, Starchy banana, Mealy banana, Seedy banana, Wild starchy banana, Wild banana type B. A species of wild banana native to eastern South Asia, northern Southeast Asia, and southern China can grow to more than 8 m in height. It is one of the progenitors of modern cultivated bananas along with Musa acuminata. The species is also the primary genetic relative of B-genome bananas for breeding purposes. The fruit is considered inedible because of the seeds they contain and is often grown for its thick leaves for wrapping food and other uses. In Indonesia, the rind of Pisang klotok is thinly sliced along with some of its interior flesh, mixed with other fruits and sauce, called rujak, and the part has the most seeds discarded. In Malaysia, except in the state of Kelantan (or perhaps other eastern states in Peninsular Malaysia), the plant is planted for its thick and resilient broad leaves and the young fruits are sometimes harvested for making 'acar' (chutney). The ripe fruit is very sweet and occasionally eaten raw while the hard black seeds are spat out, but most liberally swallowed.
In Thai folklore it is believed that this type of banana tree may be inhabited by a spirit, Nang Tani (นางตานี), a type of ghost (or rather a species of the ghost, since we are in the midst of discussing taxonomy) related to trees that manifests itself as a young woman. Often people tie a length of colored satin cloth around the trunk of the banana tree to appease the ghost. While in the Malay culture, there were awful maniacs called Orang Minyak (Oily Man), a bunch of compulsive oily rapists prowling during the darkness of the night, naked and terrorizing beautiful maidens in villages. In order to be one, one has to have to be a hermit, sitting cross-legged alone under a flowering banana tree in the jungle, with the mouth gaping collecting and swallowing in the process whatever fluid dripping from the banana heart until the unseen being shows its face. It may take days, weeks, or even months. Perhaps, some negotiating and pleading happened, "Hey I wanna be an Oily Man. Help me please, please. I drank all your shit that flowed along the banana heart isn't it." The sighting of Orang Minyak has declined lately, I suppose staying dormant, but ready to strike again. So much for the digression and storytelling!

Bullrace is one of Madura's culture, which become the special characteristis of Madura Island. The beginning of the bullrace originated from the fact that Madura is not so fertile that is not good for agriculture, instead the Madurese cat fish and breed cows and bulls which are also used for farming especially to plough the fields where paddies or second crop plants are grown.
A man named Syeh Ahmad Baidawi who firstly introduced the way of working the soil with using bamboo sled pulled by two bulls known as " Nanggala or Salaga ". He was actually a proselytizer who came to Madura to spread up Islam but also taught Madurese the way of ploughing the fields. From this new knowledge that he had taught, he got tittle as "Pangeran Katandur" (Prince of Planter).
The early purpose of bull race event is to get strong bulls for ploughing. The Madurese take care of the bulls and compete them in ploughing their fields as soon as possible. In this way the idea of competing come into existence and then developed into organized sport called "BULL RACE". The bull race soon becomes annually activities carried of every year especially when harvest on the fields has finished.
The Condition Of Bulls To Race
The condition of the bulls which are allowed to compete should have some requirements such as :
* The bulls are of Madurese stock and color or original of Madurese
* They have to be healthy and strong
* Their teeth should have fallen out
The Technique of The Bullrace
The race is conducted in a series of elimination heats between winners and loosers of proceeding heats. It completely has four phases that consist of:
* The first phase in which all the bulls compete in two pairs to set apart the winners from the loosers (both the winners and the loosers still have a chance to compete again):
* The second phase or the pre selection heat the winners compete against the winners and the loosers compete against the loosers to decide the winners of the winners and the winners of the loosers (in this phase both the loosers do not allowed to compete again)
* The third phase or the semi final is to determine three pairs winners of the winners and three pairs winners of the loosers ;
* The fourth phase is the final will decide the first, second and third champions of the winners and of the loosers
How To Take Care Race Bulls
It is a pride for Madurese to have a race bull. Therefore the bull owners will be very much happy and proud if their bulls win in the bullrace championship.
To take care race bulls need much money for the bull owners have to prepare a variety of fodder, especially when they have been the champion. Leave of corn, bean and soybean trees and good grass are the special fodder for the race bulls. Besides that, the mixer of traditional spices like crushe ginger, peper, chili, honey, beer and tens even hundreds of eggs believed to warm and strengthen the bulls. The mixture is later forced into the mouth of the bulls with using a bamboo lath.
To make the bulls strong and health the bull owners sometimes also massage them by treading their backs, train every weekly and at times lulled to sleep especially when the racing day is approaching.
* The Use of Magic Power
Three or four days before the racing day come, bull owners and their families crowd the surrounding of the racing track looking for good parking for the bulls, as on this particulary day black magic is common use among the bull owners. In this case, the one tries to over power bulls from the other. Fashing for the bull owners is also prepared as such is believed to give them the inner power and strength to defeat the black magic of others.

By being made the Juanda Airport as the International airport to anticipate the good increase in passengers and cargo, by the development was aimed to support the development of the airport as the centre of the business. In the year 1992/1993 was carried out by the expansion of the International Terminal from the increase 2 VIP rooms as well as the plan of this Airport of the development project during 1994 through the Project of FBUKP-DJU with the OECF aid fund of Rp.250 billion. Several efforts opportunities and the pattern of the co-operation that enabled to be carried out with the third party, in part: the administrative building/the office complex, cargo warehousing, ground handling, the transit Hotel/shops.
The Asia-Pacific development became the centre of the growth of economics and the world industry in the forthcoming globalization era - that was famous with the Asian Miracle term - will encourage the growth of the East Indonesian Region that by chance was close to the border of Pacific and in the North-South conflict of the economic route that has been predicted will become the very important intercontinental economic route. The Asia-Pacific growth and the North-South economic route opened the big opportunity for the Airport of Sam Ratulangi that his location exact on the border of Pacific and the Frans Kaisiepo Airport that was exact in the North-South economic route that began to be developing. Likewise with the Juanda Airport and Ahmad Yani that up till now became the infrastructure for the Surabaya city that grew into the most important industrial city to 2 in the Javanese Island.
The main task of an airport was:
held the safety of the flight, the security of the flight as well as the ease and airport comfort.
In the situation that although, the three main tasks must continue to become the priority, although the condition for an airport economically still could not be losing and closing the operational cost. That has indeed become the Company's commitment that always will be revered.
Therefore, to close the operational cost to the airport that still was running at a loss afterwards was carried out by cross subsidized efforts. The airport that already the profit gave the subsidy to the airport that still was running at a loss. So, the level of the achievement of the service to all First airport balanced relatively. It is all that in line with the determination that was proclaimed by the Company, that is "Developing the Image and the Achievement of the Indonesian Airport ".
Up to late 1997, around 12 first airports just 3 airports that really produced the profit in an established manner, one of them was Juanda Surabaya.
The movement of the domestic passenger flow in the Juanda Airport (the Airport), Surabaya, until quarterly to four in 2002, increased by as many as 1.402.089 people or rose 52.10 percent compared with 2001. So as on the whole, the movement flow of domestic passengers in 2002 rose to 4.093.020 people whereas in 2001 totally 2.690.931 people.
Following with the trend, the rise trend of the these passengers movements number will continue to happen in forthcoming years. This was caused the aircraft tariff was more competitive compared to the land transport and sea moda.
The rise in the movement of these passengers also triggered the increase in the frequency of the flight and the new route. The frequency that often was increased is the Surabaya-Jakarta route that achieved approximately 120 flights from the total 240 flights per day.
The busy other route was Surabaya-Bali, Surabaya-Makassar, Surabaya Lombok, and Surabaya-Balikpapan. During 2002, the movement of the aircraft was totally 69.472 times or rose 25.48 percent compared with 2001 totally 55.368 times.
Apart from the movement of domestic passengers, the movement of international passengers round 2002 also experienced the increase 3,19 percent. In 2002, the number of international passengers who went through the Juanda Airport Surabaya reached 637.169 people, now during 2001 totally 617.454 passengers.
"Despite the number of frequencies of the flight from Malaysia Airlines (Mas) and Singapore Airlines (SQ) was reduced, but the increase in the movement of international passengers continued to happen. This was caused by the airline used the type of the big aircraft after reducing the frequency," explained Bambang.
Reduced by the frequency of the two international airlines flight as a result of the passenger market was taken by Lion Airlines and the Garuda that had the flight route to Batam. To Malaysia or to Singapore , passengers tended in choosing to Batam, afterwards follow the trip by the ferry.
Apart from several reasons above, the improvement of economics took part in triggering the movement of passengers and cargo in the Juanda Airport Surabaya. For the movement of domestic cargo, during 2002 the increase happened 18 percent of 23.475 ton during 2001 became 27.699 ton during 2002. Now, for the movement of international cargo also experienced the increase 16,76 percent that is from 14.592 ton during 2001 became 17.028 ton during 2002.
The increase in the movement of passengers and this cargo also forced the increase in the safety service, the security of the flight, the airport environment, and the ease in the airport.(INU)

Ijen volcano (located in east Java) has a one-kilometer-wide turquoise-colored highly acidic crater lake. The lake is the site of a labor-intensive sulfur mining operation, in which sulfur-laden baskets are carried by hand from the crater floor (200 m deep).
Despite the risks (i.e fatality from sulphur inhalation and minor eruptions, deteriorating health) the miners are envied by others in their villages. They earn more than those who work in agriculture and they get paid in daily basis (as opposed to every 2 weeks). As of June 2006, the rate is Rp 400/kg for carrying the slabs of sulfur up and down the strenuous crater and hill (about 4 cents USD). If they make only 1 run for the weight between 70-100 kgs they pocket USD 3-4/day. The stronger ones can make it twice. Due the nature of the work and human's physical limitations, most miners only work every other day (15 days/month).

Skin ageing appears to be principally related to a decrease in the levels of type I collagen, the primary component of the skin dermis. Type I collagen is also known to impart tensile strength to skin. In vitro evaluations have demonstrated the receptorial activity of Asiaticoside on collagen synthesis.
