Sejarah batik budaya asli Indonesia berasal dari budaya Jawa yang saat itu digunakan untuk pakaian para penghuni keraton khususnya raja. Pertama kali batik ditemukan memang di Yogyakarta hingga akhirnya menyebar ke daerah Jawa Tengah. Batik berasal dari bahasa Jawa yaitu amba dan titik. Amba berarti ‘menulis’ dan titik adalah terknik pewarnaan malam yang menggunakan malam dengan cara di titiktitik. Menurut cerita sejarah, keberadaan batik sudah dikenal pada abad ke-17 dan pada saat itu batik mulai dikembangkan lebih luas. Pada abad ke 17, nenek moyang membatik pada daun lontar dengan corak berupa simbol tanaman dan binatang.
Perkembangan batik Indonesia pada saat itu tersebar dari Kerajaan Majapahit dan Kerajaan Mataram karena pengikut raja yang ada di kerajaan menggunakan pakaian batik. Perkembangan batik ini dilakukan pada zaman Kerajaan Mataram, Keraton Solo, dan Keraton Yogyakarta. Pada awalnya batik hanya dikerjakan di dalam keraton saja dengan tujuan utama sebagai pakaian raja, pengikut raja, dan keluarga raja. Karena pengikut raja banyak yang tinggal di luar keraton, seni batik ini semakin berkembang ke daerah luar keraton. Awalnya batik ditirukan oleh masyarakat sekitar kesultanan hingga pada akhirnya semakin meluas digunakan sebagai pakaian bagi pria dan wanita. Hingga abad ke-20 batik semakin dikembangkan dengan cara batik tulis dan saat itu belum ada batik cap.
Batik dikenal sejak abad ke-17 dengan beragam corak yang menunjukkan kesederhanaan. Di Indonesia, batik terbagi menjadi beberapa jenis berdasarkan teknik pembuatan kemudian daerah pembuat dan corak yang dibuat. Jika berdasarkan teknik pembuatannya batik dikenal dengan batik tulis, batik cap, dan batik lukis. Pada batik tulis, kain [...] dengan tekstur serta corak dengan menggunakan tangan dan dalam pembuatannya memakan waktu dua hingga tiga bulan. Sementara itu, pada batik cap adalah membatik dengan cara kain dihias dengan corak serta tekstur batik yang terbentuk dari cap. Sementara pada batik lukis, caranya adalah dengan melukiskan corak dan tektur langsung pada kain putih.

Menteri Keuangan (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani Indrawati memberikan penjelasan mengenai realisasi APBN sampai dengan 31 Mei 2018 di Aula Djuanda, Kementerian Keuangan. Menkeu menjelaskan bahwa perkembangan ekonomi Indonesia masih cukup positif. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari inflasi yang stabil pada angka 3,2%. "Kenaikan muncul karena adanya berbagai permintaan komoditas yang permintaannya meningkat dalam rangka1 seasonal yaitu menjelang hari raya dan selama bulan Ramadan, (namun) bisa diimbangi dengan supplynya yang cukup baik," ungkap Menkeu pada Konferensi Pers Realisasi APBN 2018, Senin (25/06).
Sampai dengan 31 Mei 2018, pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia mencapai 5.06%. Realisasi penerimaan pendapatan negara pun tumbuh semakin baik dibandingkan dengan tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Penerimaan pajak tercatat Rp484,5 Triliun atau meningkat 14,13% year on year (yoy), penerimaan kepabeanan dan cukai tercatat sebesar Rp54,18 Triliun atau meningkat 18,29%, dan
Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak tercatat Rp145 triliun atau meningkat 17,4%. Di sisi lain, realisasi belanja negara juga telah mencapai angka yang cukup baik, yaitu Rp779,5 Triliun atau sudah mencapai 35,1% dari target APBN 2018.
"Dengan postur pendapatan dan belanja tersebut, posisi akhir Mei 2018 keseimbangan primer masih mengalami surplus sebesar Rp18,1 triliun. Bandingkan dengan posisi Mei 2017 keseimbangan primer kita sudah negatif atau defisit sebesar Rp29,9 triliiun. Jadi kalau dilihat kenaikannya luar biasa. Artinya APBN kita semakin sehat [...] kuat," ujarnya
"Dilihat trennya tiga tahun belakang ini dari tahun 2016, 2017, dan 2018 terjadi penurunan sangat drastis. Defisit anggaran menunjukkan pembalikan dari 189 (triliun Rupiah) pada tahun 2016 hingga hanya 94,4(triliun Rupiah), jadi hampir turun kira-kira separuhnya sendiri. Inilah yang menggambarkan postur realisasi APBN 2018 yaitu menunjukkan tren yang sangat positif dan perkuatan APBN yang sangat nyata," tegas Menkeu.

All these experts' suggestions make us wonder why vegetables are so important to human health. The answer will be discussed below.
First of all, vegetables have high nutrient content. They are loaded with vitamins and minerals that contribute to growth and the maintenance of good health. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture notes that many vegetables are high in potassium, which is important for healthy blood pressure. Various vitamins, such as C and A, help keep eyes, skin, teeth and gums healthy, fight infection and promote wound healing. Perhaps most importantly, vegetables are rich in a particular group of nutrients called antioxidants, which fight cellular damage and help prevent heart disease, cancer, Parkinson's disease, atherosclerosis, heart attack and Alzheimer's disease, says the Linus Pauling Institute.
Another substantial benefit of vegetables is dietary fiber. Fiber is an important nutrient found only in plant foods. As part of a healthy diet, fiber helps scour bad cholesterol out of your arteries, thus lowering your risk of heart disease, says the USDA. Fiber also keeps your digestive system running smoothly, helps control your blood sugar levels and may help prevent cancer.
Vegetables are also a boon to dieters. Because they are generally low in fat and calories, you can eat a lot of them without gaining weight. If you substitute vegetables for other, higher-calorie foods in your diet, you will slash your calorie and fat intake, making weight management easier. The fiber in vegetables also helps you manage your weight. Fiber makes you feel fuller for a longer period, helping you eat less overall and aiding with weight loss or maintenance.
Some vegetables are Healthier than others. When choosing vegetables, keep in mind that, in general, brightly colored vegetables are higher in nutrients than less vivid choices. For example, spinach contains many more vitamins and antioxidants than iceberg lettuce.
If you have questions or concerns regarding your diet or vegetables for good health, consult your physician or a registered dietitian for more recommendations.

Light pollution is the change of natural light levels in the night environment produced by introduction of artificial light. Because of the continuous growth of nighttime artificial lighting, this problem is increasingly debated. In fact, many localities have developed regulations to restrict the wasteful loss of light into the sky and environment.
The expanding use of light at night is because humans are diurnal animals. They are trying to extend activities into the usually dark hours. This increasing use is driven by what seems common sense, and by the lighting industry with justifications that at first may seem correct. With few exceptions, everything we build is lit at night. This includes streets, roads, bridges, airports, commercial and industrial buildings, parking lots, sport centers and homes. Outdoor lighting continues to expand as more infrastructures are built. Lighting levels are often set high with one or more secondary objectives in mind. For instance, building exteriors are often lit for a merely beautiful effect. Shopping centers are typically lit to attract shoppers. They also create a lively environment to stimulate spending. Lighting levels in public areas are often set high to prevent crime, even though studies have not proven this to have any effect on crime rates. Indeed, the cores of our urban centers are bathed in light. The resulting light pollution can extend more than a hundred kilometers out from the city's edge.
Reliable evidence shows that this artificial extension of the day produces serious and risky consequences to human health and environment. Cinzano, Falchi and Elvidge (2001) have studied the impact of light pollution on the night sky. The result indicates that more than 60% of world population lives under light polluted skies (99% of the population of USA and Europe) and almost one-fifth of world terrain is under light polluted skies. In regards to human, there are no doubts that exposure to light at night (LAN) decreases pineal melatonin (a kind of hormone) production and secretion and are not only a source for phase shift in daily rhythms.
