What is Rafflesia?

Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic flowering plants. He was found in the Indonesian rainforest by an Indonesian guide who worked for Dr. Joseph Arnold in 1818, and was named after the name Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles, expedition leader on a journey to explore Sumatra. One of the famous types of Rafflesia is Rafflesia Patma and Rafflesia Arnoldii which are taken from the name Dr. Joseph Arnold discovered the flower on a trip with Raffles. Both are recognized as Indonesia's endemic flora. It's so special, many researchers and tourists who are fans of flora who came to Indonesia to find this flower. The first type to be discovered is the Rafflesia patma, discovered by French naturalist Auguste Deschamps in 1797. Besides endemic, this flower has five features that are of concern to foreign tourists and researchers.

1. Unique shape 
2. Difficult to breed
3. Does not grow anywhere
4. Invite insects with a bad smell 
5. Still a mystery to world researchers

Research on rafflesia has been carried out since 1857. Dutch-era researchers tried to make rafflesia flowers can live outside their habitat. Rafflesia flower had bloomed in 1929, returned to bloom outside its habitat 81 years later in the Bogor Botanical Garden in July 2010. Many of its biological aspects are still a mystery so scarcity is still attached to this plant.

This rafflesia flower was first discovered in Bengkulu tropical forests, precisely on the Manna river, Lubuk Tapi, South Bengkulu. The discovery of this giant flower was first known to occur in 1818. Rafflesia Arnoldii was made into one of the 3 Indonesian National flowers (the other two were Moon Orchids and White Jasmine flowers). Because it was found in Bengkulu, Bengkulu was also known as The Land of Rafflesia.

An arnoldii rafflesia flower can grow to reach a diameter of 1 meter. But there are also those that reach a diameter of 1.05 meters, namely the flower rafflesia arnoldii found in Bukit Tinggi, West Sumatra. No wonder the flower is called a giant flower. Because in addition to its large shape, its weight can also reach 11 kg. The Rafflesia Arnoldii flower buds are also very large. With the shape of a cabbage plant, these flower buds can reach 30-43 cm in diameter. The Rafflesia flower is the largest flower in the world.

Because it is a parasitic plant, the Rafflesia Arnoldii has no roots, leaves and stems like other flowers in general. But unfortunately, the age of this flower when blooming is relatively short. This flower is only around (5-7 days) then after it withers away and dies. Rafflesia Arnoldii has a very strong odor, like rotten meat. But this strong aroma actually attracts flies to invade it.

Your Soul Mate is Your Reflection

"Is that a mate according to Islam?"

Regarding matchmaking is the secret of God and only God knows this mystery. No human will ever be able to guess the secret of God. However, the thing we must know is that God has prepared a soul mate that is equal or in accordance with the quality of each human being. Therefore there is a saying that "Match is Your Reflection."

If we want to get a good soul mate, then make us good people. Because God has promised good women will get good men too, and vice versa. Vile women will get men who are cruel too. Allah SWT. say:

الْخَبِيثَاتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَالْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَاتِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ وَالطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّبَاتِ أُولَئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ  

"Wicked women are for malevolent men, and men who are also cruel to women who are cruel (also), and good women are for good men, and men who good for good women. They (who are accused) are clean of what they accuse (those who accuse them). For them forgiveness and noble sustenance (heaven). " (QS. An-Nuur: 26)

Every human being is met with his soul mate at different ages. There were those who met their soul mates at a young age and there were those who were brought together at dusk. But this cannot be said that the soul mate comes too fast or comes too slowly, because once again the mate is the secret of Allah SWT. Then what are the signs from God that our soul mate is near or still far away?

Among the signs are:

1. Having faith and similar traits 
2. Feel the tranquility of the soul 
3. Can understand each other
4. Can provide motivation for each other 
5. Having morals and speech words that are worth motivation
6. Can forgive each other
7. Have stability in our hearts 
8. Stop us from looking for others
9. Always appear as is and modest
10. Acceptable by our family
11. Clever keep secrets 
12. Cannot lie and try to be honest
13. Always facilitate business in all matters
14.  Not caring and forgetting the past
15. Perform istikhoroh prayer and tawakal

Those are 15 matchmaking signs from God which are briefly discussed. Hopefully by reading this article we will increasingly understand the signs of a good soul mate from Allah Ta'ala and may we get the best match from Him.

I Want To Be A Human (Andrea Andriz.Episode 3)

A teenager sat in the front line and raised her hand. I invited her to speak and she began to say what was on her mind.

"Excuse me Riz. I have a question for you,Riz. Why do you always give help to us? You often gives clothes, gives money, gives new books. Doesn't you feel any loss for spending a lot of materials and giving it to us for free in many times, maybe monthly i think? "

One of the students at the foundation I visited in that afternoon asked. I became talkless for a moment felt amazed that there was a child who dared to actively ask in the midst of many people. I I was amazed and tried to use my brain to find the answer for that question. It's a bit difficult for me to compile words to answer that question because I was not one of those who is good at rhetoric.

"Very good question, Laila. Actually the reason why I do this is only one, Laila. I want to be human

"But haven't you become a human now?" Asked Laila

"Biologically, yes, I am a human if I see it from Biology. Humans are creatures with twenty-three pairs of chromosomes, which have extraordinary powers of creativity compared to other creatures".

"So why do you want to be human? You are a human being already, aren’t you? " He asked again.

"Laila, from the point of view of Biology I am indeed a human. But that's not what I want. What I want is to be able to become a human according to my Lord. "

"I don't understand" replied Laila briefly

Laila is still in the first grade of junior high school. Of course she had a problem while she tried to think about it. I had to found answers that are easier to understand.

"Actually, a human being cannot necessarily be called a human, Laila. Humans who can be called humans are human beings who can give goodness to other humans, and to this universe. Because humans were created to become caliphs on this earth. If there is a person who is reluctant to think about the condition of the earth and chooses to have fun just filling his stomach untill his stomach being distended, then he is indeed a biological human, but in God's eyes he is not human. " I tried to explain

"I understand now, Riz. And now i want to be a human, a human like you". Laila answered

I was so happy when my answer could be understood by Laila. She is always active in all of our visits. She asked about many things. I think she will be a great person later, and hopefully so.

That day was the day when my four friends and I visited the Al-Ikhlas Foundation. One of several foundations that we often visit together. me and my friends hope that with the assistance which we provide to them (the next generation of people who are in the midst of difficulties) can be useful in the future. Because we believe that most big people are born in difficult conditions and are able to make peace with the situation, always try to find a strategy for a better life. Children and adolescents are a small part of the nation's population, but they are determinants of the future

How Much is Your Salary Until You are Willing to Leave Your Prayer

 The first charity in the reckoning of a servant on the Day of Judgment is prayer and whoever is good (received) prayer, then good (received) also all other practices, and whoever is damaged (rejected) prayer, then damaged (rejected) also all other practices. (HR. Thabarani)

Prayer is a service that cannot be replaced with anything. However the situation is a person is still obliged to pray. Even if he can't do anything, while he is still breathing he is still obliged to pray.

Abdullah bin syaqiq r.a said: "None of the practices that left him were considered kufr by the companions other than prayer." (Narrated by Ibn Abi Syaibah, see Shahih at-Tharghib, 564)

Don't be too busy with your business so you forget what you were created for. Don't be complacent with world affairs so you forget the creator. Looking for rizki (work) is an obligation, but worship to God is far more important. Because humans are created to worship God. Allah says:

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

"And I did not create jinn and men but that they serve Me."(Q.S. Ad-Dzariyat: 56)

When God removes blessings from your work, then you will not get free time to worship Him.

From Abu Hurairah r.a., from the Prophet. he said: "Verily Allah the Exalted says:" O people take your time to worship Me, surely I will fill your chest with wealth (feeling sufficient and satisfied) and I will close your wickedness. If you do not do this, surely I will fulfill your hands (your days) with busyness (jobs) and I will not close your wickedness. "

Hadith Narrated by At-Tirmizi IV / 642 no.24, Ibn Majah II / 1376, Ahmad II / 358 no.861, and Hibban II / 19 no.393.

Hopefully we can always be istiqomah in worshiping and doing good.

Andrea Andriz, A Man Who Tries To Be A Human (The continuation of "They Lost Their Minds")

I am scolded by many people because I just give comments and do nothing. “The CommentsMan”, that's how they call me. That nickname has spreaded all over my country. Curses and condemns are scattered in cyberspace and also in the real world. I don't know what did i do so they do this to me. Everything suddenly turn dark and I think I am blind. But finally i realize that it just a dream. That dream haunts me, maybe because of yesterday's incident. Yesterday I only commented without doing anything when I saw a boy was falling from his bicycles in front of a park.

I walk into the kitchen and wash my face, give a little freshness to my face. relax myself after get a nightmare today. My breath is become normal, and then I take my favorite carrot juice in the fridge and drink it while looking at my activities list today.

Faced this difficult lives together. Become an activist in a student movement organization and repeatedly participate in efforts to defend helpless citizens. Me and four of my friends are determined to be able to make changes for Indonesia through the art of music. That determination had arisen since we were in college where the state of helpless people around me became more helpless. So until now, we usually give some of our money to the poeple in need, like orphan childs, poor people, and other people who need money

At 4:30 a.m., the time for me to pray Shubuh and I had to hurry to do the Prayer. Because the sun will be rise up and it means the Shubuh time will be gone.

Women and Beauty Products

Beauty products are a necessity among women. Although not all women use beauty products, it cannot be denied that the majority of women use beauty products to beautify themselves. Even sometimes they do various ways to look perfect. So, it's no wonder that many fake beauty products are sold on the market, in stores, and that are sold online. This they do to take greater advantage without thinking of the negative impacts that arise for its users. The more beauty products that come out there will be more and more products that are fake, because of the increasing competition. Along with the development of the age of beauty products increasingly various types, brands, and shapes. For that we must be careful in choosing beauty products, especially for teenagers. The rise of fake beauty products is very dangerous for users, especially teenagers whose skin is still vulnerable to these products. What is often used and has a negative impact is bleach or a type of cream that can whiten the face in a short time. Many women who want beautiful in a short time, so they do not think long with the impact or danger of the products they use. No wonder there are many cases of women trying beauty products, not being beautiful but their faces being damaged. Bleach products are not only used by adult women, but also teenagers who are still in junior high school and high school also use these products. It is better if teens do not use whitening products, it will be harmful to their skin, especially if it turns out the product they are using is fake. It will quickly damage the skin of the face that is still vulnerable. Although initially the results look good but the negative impact in the future is very large, because it can cause skin cancer. Some even died because they wanted to be beautiful, but it turned out to be the opposite.

Not to be beautiful, but to endanger yourself. So from that do not let you go wrong in choosing beauty products, especially for teenagers. Use beauty products that do not cause harm or negative effects on your face / skin.

They Lost Their Minds

I was enjoying my morning in a beautiful park on that day. There were a lot of leaf fell down and those made my heart felt very comfortable. I was not alone in that morning. Yeah! Yo know, aren’t you? All people will never come to a park lonely. Even a bird always flies around the sky with its friends. I will never come to any park lonely, so, in that morning i was sat down on a chair on a park with my best guitar -And i was not alone.

The sun rised higher and i was still sat down on one of some long chair inside that park. I was in my holiday. When i get my holiday most of people will be so busy in their jobs. Because most of people are work in a restaurant, supermarket, bank, or in a factory. Most of people they should drive a car or repair a computer to make money. That is very different with me,i will get a lot of money with just siging in front of the audience in a cafe or in a wedding party, etc. In anoother word i am a musician.

The sun rised higher again and the streets became crowded than before. Most of people were start they daily activities. I put my guitar on the right side of the chair which i was sitting on it, and started to observed my surroundings. About five seconds i gazed to the street few hundred meters in front of me i was shocked by an accident. Suddenly a young boy fell down from his motorcycle which brought so many books and those books was dropped messy to the street. And then i mumbled in my mind “He such an idiot, he is very careless when he drives his motorcycle”.

One thing which made me felt so irked was a man who saw that boy and he didn’t give any help to him. A moment later there was a man and a girl came to that boy and gave some helps. But again my heartbeat became faster. They gave a help but they chose to settled the books, and didn’t help the boy first. I couldn’t believe with what they had done. All of them, a man who just left the boy without gave any help and two person who helped the boy but they took the books first, i think they was lost their minds.

The sun is became higher and i decided to go home. I put my guitar into its bag, ride my motorcycle and went to my home. I talked to myself that i was met with poeple who lost their mind. I still can’t believe that they was such a stupid poeple.

Day was turn into a night and i still remembered with the accident which happened at that morning. I tried to think it deeper, slowly and deeper. I had been thinking in an hour and i reached to my best conclusion. I thought that they were the poeple who lost their minds. But actually, a people who lost his mind is me. I saw that accident with my eyes but i didn’t do anything and wasted my time by just gave very useless comments. I just gave so many comments without any act. Thoose people had given some helps to the boy and they were. So the people who lost his mind is me. “The no act man”.

Valuable Lessons From A Teacher

       

     A man who understands with a Spiritual Teacher issues criticism and harsh words, and expresses his hatred towards the wise Teacher.The teacher just paused, listened patiently, calmly and did not say a word.

        After the man left, and the student who saw the event was curious and asked: Why did the Teacher keep silent not to repay the man's curse? A moment later the Teacher said to the student: Is it if someone gives you something, and you don't want to accept it, then who belongs to that gift ?. Of course back to being the property of the giver, the student answered simply.

Right, so is the harsh word, said the Teacher.

        Because I don't want to accept those words, then the words will be his. He must save it himself.

He did not realize, because later he must bear the consequences in the world or the hereafter, because the negative energy that arises from thoughts, feelings, words, and actions will only produce life's suffering.

        Then, just like someone who wants to dirty the sky by spitting on it. The spit will only fall on his face.

        Likewise, if there are people out there who are angry with you, leave it alone, because they are throwing away their HEART WASTE. If you keep silent, then the garbage will return to themselves, but if you respond, you will accept that garbage.

Grateful

Everyone must have had the wish that other people's lives are better and even better than our lives. And they want to be someone else. It cannot be denied that such a thing happened. There was once an incident where at that time there were victims of unintentional accidents.

Namely on New Year's Eve in a village. Many young children celebrate. One young man had the idea to make a bonfire, but the method was a little different. He turned it on low heat then wrapped some gasoline in a plastic bag into several bags. The bag was thrown into the small burning fire earlier. It was true that it could turn on, but there was an accident at that time. That bag containing gasoline had been thrown out of the wood of the campfire and about a friend. The fire burned his friend. He suffered serious burns, and was rushed to the hospital. This victim was still in school. Because of the incident, the child who had accidentally done so was responsible for funding all of his school fees until he graduated and treated until healed and was given money.

Because of this incident, my friend spoke to me.

A: "Mail is Better (let's say so) get money, free school fees and free medical treatment"

B: "How about it? Delicious you say?"

A: "Yes, it's good, free of charge for medical treatment and free of school fees"

B: "Do you want to get money like him?"

A: "Do you want it"

B: "Do you want me to burn first and then get money?"

A: "Well, why don't you burn me too?"

B: "That's why, don't look good. He is in pain, he was hit by an accident. How come you just taste good, try to position him and feel the uneasy. You don't want it, so we should be grateful. Don't just look it's delicious, it doesn't have to be good too. "

A: “Yes yes too "

B: "Maybe other people's lives look good, but not necessarily they are nice and happy with it. Maybe they don't complain about that. But the happiest, happiest lives are our own lives and the lives of those who can thank them . "

A: "Yes you are right, I only see the delicious side."

The best life is to live by being yourself and being able to be grateful for it. Whoever is grateful will be added favorably by ﷲ.

ﷲ Subhanahu wa Ta'ala  said:

وَاِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَاَزِيْدَنَّـكُمْ وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ اِنَّ عَذَابِيْ لَشَدِيْدٌ     

wa iz ta`azzana robbukum la`in syakartum la`aziidannakum wa la`ing kafartum inna 'azaabii lasyadiid

"And (remember) when your Lord declares, Surely if you are grateful, I will surely add (favor) to you, but if you deny (My favor), then My punishment will be very heavy."

(Surah Ibrahim 14: Verse 7)

So give thanks for all things. For world affairs, don't just look up, but looking down is also necessary. There are still many of our brothers and sisters whose lives are less fortunate than us. Let's multiply gratitude for everything.

About Thanksgiving

Assalamu'alaikum, see you again, friend.

This time I will discuss an article about thanksgiving, which I quoted from one of the books. I think the book is good, the contents are interesting and when viewed from each page it doesn't make you bored 😊

Okay, just bro, friend!

What is Thanksgiving?

How many forms of thanksgiving?

What are the benefits of Gratitude?

Come see 💓

1. First. What is Thanksgiving?

Gratitude comes from the words syakara, syukuran, wa syukuran, and ash-syukru, which means praise for goodness (favor) and thank you (to Allah). Gratitude also means revealing His blessings, both through speech and action.

In Sufism, thanksgiving is speech, attitude, and action as a form of gratitude to Allah SWT. and sincere confession of the blessings and gifts given by Him.

Gratitude given by Allah SWT. to humans there are many, and various kinds of forms, which are never separated from all everyday life and human activities, ranging from the pleasures of life, to the enjoyment of material, to health favors, and others.

But sometimes we as humans are not aware of that, so we must multiply our gratitude to God, so that the blessings given by God will increase.

2. Second. How many forms of gratitude are there?

In essence, everything God gives us must be grateful as an expression of gratitude. It is not because of a necessity of a servant of Allah alone, but more because the awareness of His pleasure. Why is that? Because gratitude will come back to us. That is, the benefit of being grateful is felt by someone who is grateful, as Allah says: "And whosoever is grateful, then indeed he is grateful for (good) himself, and whosoever is kufr (un grateful), then my Lord is Rich and Mighty Noble." (QS. An-Naml: 40)

For this reason, we are absolutely grateful for our own good. Because in gratitude, all of our body and soul are involved in it. The forms of gratitude are as follows:

a. Thank God

With the heart, humans realize and feel. With this heart humans carry out gratitude. Gratitude through this heart is realized by truly realizing that all the blessings that come from God alone. In turn, this kind of awareness leads people to accept, full of willingness without protest, let alone grumbling, at that favor. Gratitude with the heart always makes one instill good prejudice (husnudzan) in God in him.

b. Thank God with the Oral

We know, the expression or expression of what is felt by the heart, is done by speaking. This becomes absolute in gratitude. When the heart already knows the taste of pleasure from Him, the lali of pleasure is expressed through the saying of the throne. The word Alhamdulillah means recognition and praise to Allah.

c. Thank God for the Acts

Gratitude through the acknowledgment and belief in the blessings of Allah and then verbally, becomes complete when manifested by deeds. That is, God's pleasure is received and revealed to Him by doing something good. For example, by acting, helping others, not doing something deviant, not excessive in spending assets, and other good things.

3. Third. What are the benefits of Gratitude?

As mentioned earlier, the gratitude we offer to God is only for our own benefit. Anyone who is grateful, will always feel His pleasure, of course, if gratitude is done with awareness and servitude of God.

Awareness and servitude here is the attitude of always seeing something as a favor in our view a little. This awareness and servitude also means carrying out God's commands and avoiding His prohibitions. In short, obey God.

If you want to achieve true happiness, then you must obey God. And therefore, being grateful and never denying the blessings of Him becomes the foundation in living life.

Well, that's about gratitude in a nutshell, friend.

I recommend that you also read the book 😉👇

Title: Thank God for what is

Education Is An Easy Target For Christinization In The Countryside

DIY province including province as fertile fields for crusader missionaries. Many events became national news relating to the spread of Cristianity in various ways. Church church appear to grow in several urban and rural angels in each sub-district. They justify any means that lead to rough or smooth. In rural education is a very affective way to convert a Muslim into a Christian. They provide free education and various other social assistance. Recorded in the Kokap sub-district, one of the villages bordering Central Java recordered 3 Christian schools and 3 Churchs that stood in the middle of the rural area. Many muslim families put their children in this school, because there were no fees or the reason the school was the only school in the village.

What they do (Christian) is certainly in line with their scriptures. As a result, 3 students were declared apostates and some students had been baptized in one of the baptizing churches. The surrounding community also converted to Christianity. Therefor, Islamic religious leaders must be able to fortify the community with the provision of strong Islamic knowledge so that their faith does not falter with the lure given by other religions.

Indonesian Authentic Spicy Cuisine

Indonesian food is identical with two words: delicious and spicy. Sometimes, these two words tend to be inseparable. You want to taste good, it must be spicy! 😊

No wonder the majority of Indonesia's population, including you, is a spicy culinary lover. In every corner of the shop to a five-star restaurant, a lot of food can be assessed from the level of spiciness. Moreover, these 10 foods:

1. Rendang

Who does not know the same Indonesian food that you can easily meet at this Padang restaurant? Even a survey a few years ago had named this West Sumatra food as the most delicious food in the world!

It seems like it's not excessive to convert rendang as the most delicious food. The delicious taste of a variety of old-cooked spices makes the aroma that Indonesia really permeates in every piece of meat. Especially if this one culinary is eaten with warm rice, coconut milk, and various typical Padang dishes. Ouch, so drool imagine it!

2. Penyet Chicken

Penyet chicken is a typical Indonesian food originating from East Java. Called penyet because the fried chicken has been shredded until it is set on a stone or wooden mortar along with a very spicy sauce.

Because of the delicious cuisine, you can find it not only in Indonesia, but also in several neighboring countries, such as Malaysia and Singapore. Even one of the CNN reporters once referred to penyet chicken as one of "40 Singapore foods we can not live without".

If outsiders really like it, we must also be proud of this delicious culinary one!

3. Oseng-oseng mercon

Spicy culinary lovers must be familiar with the "oseng-oseng mercon". The word mercon itself in Javanese means firecrackers and is considered to describe how explosive the spicy taste of oseng-oseng is when you are in your mouth. How much is it?Not!

The proof is, for 500 grams of meat sticks to beef, the amount of chili used reaches 250 grams! Perbadingan which makes you sweat cold when enjoying this one dish. Apart from the many cayenne pepper, there are still other spices such as onion and garlic which add to the pleasure of this one food.

4. Spicy Porridge

Every time entering the month of Ramadan, there is one distinctive culinary that always enlivens iftar in the city of Medan. The food is spicy porridge. As for taste, you can guess directly from the name. Spicy!

This porridge is cooked with a variety of herbs and spices that are only made or sold during the month of Ramadan as part of the tradition.

Usually, this porridge is eaten with a side dish called "Anyang" which is made using various types of spices. To maintain the distinctive taste and aroma of this food, the manufacture is still using a wood-burning stove and cooked for three to four hours.

You can find this cuisine around the location of the Great Mosque and Maimoon Palace during the Ramadan month in Medan.

5. Betutu chicken

This time we turn to the Island of the Gods. Besides being famous for the beauty of the beach and its nature, Bali is also famous for its spicy taste. One of them is snack food. This Betutu culinary usually uses chicken or duck as its main raw material.

Aware Later

There was a man sitting at a door, staring at his screen, which lit brightly in the dimness. He is in the corner of the cinema. With wifi that is used makes it more serious for the iPhone than the movie theater. So what did he do with his iphone? It turns out he opened the browser and typed the words "hospital Stein" in the search window. Why is he searching for these words? Do you want to seek treatment? or is someone sick with his family? Or look for the number of the beautiful doctor working there? Ah I don't know, maybe information about that hospital might be uprooted.

I kept hearing the sounds of his iPhone keyboard, apparently he typed something until I was ignored by him. It made me uncomfortable with the voice of her cellphone, who at that time had a telephone but from whom I didn't know the phone. He also said good-bye, saying he wanted to pick up the phone from his girlfriend. 

Then I was left by him without any explanation of what had happened. What must have been a feeling of disappointment in his heart was that at first he was the one who invited coffee together so he finally chose to go to the cinema. But that's how it is. And I went home with no one riding. 

When I arrived at my house there was a chat and it was from him who asked me where I was. "Is this a kid already aware of what is from her cellphone?" I asked myself. I wrote the reply to the chat that I had arrived home. After a few minutes he came with his hands bleeding and I immediately invited him to the clinic then I asked, what happened? And he also replied that the reason for all those who were made in the cinema was because the amnesia was relapsing and the bleeding hand was due to a wrong target due to a crazy street action.
