Kecak Dance
Kecak(pronounced [?ket?ak]) is a form of Balinese music drama, originated in the1930s and is performed primarily by men. Also known as the Ramayana MonkeyChant, the piece, performed by a circle of 100 or more performers wearingchecked cloth around their waists, percussively chanting 'cak' andthrowing up their arms, depicts a battle from the Ramayana where themonkey-like Vanara helped Prince Rama fight the evil King Ravana. However,Kecak has roots in sanghyang, a trance-inducing exorcism dance.
Kecak wasoriginally a trance ritual accompanied by male chorus. German painter andmusician Walter Spies became deeply interested in the ritual while living inBali in the 1930s and worked to recreate it into a drama, based on the HinduRamayana and including dance, intended to be presented to Western touristaudiences. This transformation is an example of what James Clifford describesas part of the 'modern art-culture system' in which, 'the Westor the central power adopts, transforms, and consumes non-Western or peripheralcultural elements, while making 'art' which was once embedded in the culture asa whole, into a separate entity.'Spies worked with Wayan Limbak and Limbakpopularized the dance by traveling throughout the world with Balineseperformance groups. These travels have helped to make the Kecak famousthroughout the world.
Performer,choreographer, and scholar I Wayan Dibia cites a contrasting theory that theBalinese where already developing the form when Spies arrived on the island.For example, well-known dancer I Limbak had incorporated Baris movements intothe cak leader role during the 1920s. 'Spies liked this innovation,'and it suggested that Limbak, 'devise a spectacle based on theRamayana,' accompanied by cak chorus rather than gamelan, as would havebeen usual.

There is no television on Wingo Island. So is thetelephone and computer. It is place to listen to the leaves whispering. It is aplace to lie on soft green moss and look at the clouds. It is really a place todream.

Losari beach is a beautiful beach and located on the edge city of Makassar. It is located only about 3 km from the center of Makassar (Karebosi Park).

From this place, you are also free to view out to the sea and watch the sunset slowly turns reddish in the line of the horizon. The reflected light also creates sheen on the surface of sea water.
The Pelataran Bahari also serves as the stadium of open water to watch the coastal waters in front of Losari beach. This coastal water is often used as a racecourse jet ski, boat races and traditional boat jolloro katinting, or become a transit point of rely of Sandeq traditional sailboats and yachts.

Kapoposangis one of the largest of the Spermonde Islands, around 70 km northwest ofMakassar, South Sulawesi. Kapoposang covers an area of around 50,000 hectaresand is inhabited by around 100 families. Several other islands, both inhabitedand uninhabited, lie near Kapoposang. The larger ones include Papandangan,Kondongbali, Suranti and Tambakulu.
Kapoposang and the nearby islands weredeclared a Nature Tourism Park by the Department of Forestry in 1999. Divinghas been an important activity at Kapoposang since the mid 1990s. Therewere so few local divers at the time, and because of the distance from otherwell-known diving areas in Indonesia, Kapoposang has basically remained asecret.
The best time to visit Kapoposang is betweenApril and November, when the seas are calm, the weather favorable, and the windless fierce than in the other months. The trip takes two hours by speedboat;the ocean breezes help to cool your skin in the hot morning sun. As youapproach Pulau Kapoposang, you see the deep blue water, which suddenly meets anexpanse of coral reefs between extensive shallows with white sands in theseabed. Sea grass also grows lushly near the shore. The sea bed at Kapoposanghas a unique composition; near the island are some quite shallow contours, andthen suddenly steep underwater cliffs leading to seemingly endless depths.

Does anyone know of any good exercise plans either aimed at or useful for spoonies? Preferably something that can be tailored/done pick and mix to fit my personal restrictions. Anyone had any experience with disability-specific plans, good or bad?
| ratherthanabout All I do is walk. I hate exercise but I love walking with my podcasts so it works for me. |
| Jeshyr I use a bunch of completely me-specific exercises I got from my physiotherapist. I suspect you could find some general arthritis-friendly exercises if you got a book on yoga and one on pilates and just experimented until you found a set that worked for you … my method of finding exercises is to start with one exercise per day, if I’m OK the next day then add a new one, etc. So never do more than one new thing per day at MOST, more commonly perhaps one new one a week but when I am starting up again one new one per day until I have a full “set” of enough to do. |
| PirateFoxy My one thing about pilates and yoga is that you have to be really careful if you have any joints that are overly flexible, because you can end up actually over-stretching some part because it just stretches more instead of passing the stretch along to the tighter joint. (Does that make sense? I have really flexible hips and my PT kept having problems finding lower back stretches because most of them assume that you’ll hit the end of range of motion for your hips and transfer the stretch to your lower back, and then there’d I’d be all twisted up like a pretzel and my lower back was still stiff as a board.) Anyway, not that they’re bad, just that you really need to pay attention when you try something new to see which bits of you it’s actually working. (I find books or websites that highlight the muscle groups that should be involved to be really helpful for this reason, because I can look and see that I should be feeling it in my thigh and then try to figure out why I’m not, and maybe tweak my position slightly or something.) |
| Jeshyr That makes sense to me, Kris. I guess I forgot ‘cause I’m so used to having all but one set of joints hypermobile (my hamstrings are tight, but all the rest are lax) so I do what you described about checking what muscles are being used without actually thinking about it that much! Seriously, Jack, if you can afford to go see a physiotherapist or physical therapist or similar just once or twice they can figure out an exercise program for you specifically and show you how to do the exercises which you’d then do at home. I got mine to write down lots more than I can actually do, and also made notes about what I was aiming to improve (eg do the exercise more times, do it slower, do it faster, etc.) with each exercise so that way the same physio consult gave me ideas for a long time. |
| PirateFoxy I totally agree with Ricky about getting an appointment if you possibly can, just to get some feedback on what you should be trying to do and what will work best for you. The PT I saw probably had me try about fifteen different stretches for my lower back before we found one that worked, and it was actually a combination of things. Her experience with other people with similar problems really showed while we were working on things. That said, there ARE some really well trained and educated personal trainers out there, and if you can find one of them it might be less expensive than a proper medical consultation. But that’s more work for you, to check out the person and the education they’ve gotten. I will also add – while not a disability specific plan, one tip I did get from someone or another somewhere along the way was – remember you don’t HAVE to do all your exercise in one block of time. For some things, that’s the easiest or most effective way to go about it, but at the end of the day, it’s whatever gets things done that’s important. So if you have to break up a routine into 5 minute chunks scattered over the whole day, because otherwise you get too tired and it’s too much for you? Do 5 minute chunks. Maybe write each exercise ‘item’ out on an index card (or print it out and cut the paper into cards, whatever) so as you do something you can move it to the back of the stack so you don’t have to remember if you’ve already done something – when you feel like a bit more, you just do what’s on the card, then move it to the back. When you get to the first card again, you’re done! :) |
| Jeshyr Oh yes! I actually have all my arm exercises written in huge text on a BIG sheet of paper taped to the wall beside the loo so I can do them while I’m on the toilet!!! Doing exercises in little bits is FANTASTIC for spoonies, and pay attention to your routine to see where you have little bits of space that you could fit one into – do you routinely wait around the kitchen while your kettle boils? Stick Kitchen Exercises on the pantry door! Do you stand while waiting for public transport? Make wallet cards with the exercises you can do while standing there without being arrested for indecency ;) Also consider time of day – if you have a particularly difficult stretch (like Kris described) then do it when you’re most relaxed, perhaps right after you get out of the bath or shower for example. If you have stuff that makes you sweaty then make sure you have time for a shower afterwards or plan to do it right before your normal shower time – this is how I do my aerobic stuff. My physio calls this “snacking on exercises” and recommends it highly! |
| JackAndAHat Krista – I’m hooked on my iPod, and I’m starting to do a lot more walking now I’ve moved house. It can be a problem because I’m a cane-user and so I end up with a cranky wrist, but it’s definitely making a difference – mentally as well as physically. Ricky – One at a time is definitely the way to go. I’m not going to let myself add anything new now until at least Monday, because I’m just getting into doing the full set of my usual stretches/etc, which I haven’t been doing for ages. No sense in overloading! Being in England it’s a matter of getting a GP (regular doctor) to transfer me to a physio, which a lot of them are reluctant to do, but now I have a new GP I’m going to go have a word with her and see if she will – am terrified of doctors, so going to a PT gives me the heebie jeebies, but it could be worth sucking it up and getting over it. |
| PirateFoxy Jack – the excellent PT I had who helped with my back was when I was in the UK – actually, ALL of the PTs I met in the UK were pretty universally awesome and nice. Much better than some of the doctors I had to deal with. (Not to mention the administrative people at the GP surgery who handled appointments and so on – they all scared the spit out of me. I never met one who didn’t act like you were trying to get away with something by wanting an appointment. Craziness.) That said, you may have to wait a bit for the appointment, as is reasonably common with the NHS and non-acute care. (Just make sure the GP understands you’re not asking for a course of physio, but rather a couple of consultations. One GP I had seemed to think that any physio meant going constantly for a few weeks at a time, which is what’s necessary to get over an acute injury – like a broken bone or something – but not at all what you need for managing chronic disability issues. It took a bit to get him to see what I wanted to go to the physio FOR.) |
| JackAndAHat Yeah – I dealt with a physio when I wa younger, and I remember her as being nicer than the regular doctors. But they all freak me out! It’s a semi-rational phobia, I’m working on it The front desk staff at doctors are just… odd. Yeah, they act like you’re the first person ever who’s wanted an appointment, and you’re such an inconvenience. |
| Ealasaid The one kind of exercise I do every day is Shiva Nata — I wrote a thing about doing it with fibromyalgia here: http://shivanata.com/blog/guest-posts/shiva-nata-and-fibromyalgia/ It does require you to wave your arms around, and it’s taken me a month or so to be able to do it for more than a minute or two before my arms start to hurt, but I enjoy it so much that I toughed it out and can now go for a good 5-10 minutes before I have to stop! :D |

I’ve been unwell (on top of everything else) and have been told to rest. I went to bed on time, planning on getting up early and run but instead was woken 3 hours prior with an escalation of pain. A phone call to a nurse and a referral to a doctor have me ‘resting’ for the next 24 – 48 hours. Does that mean I lose points for my lack of running?
| Sterlingsu I have been trying to figure that out myself. If I am too ill to do something, it seems different than if I consciously make a choice to not do the task at hand. The game does deal with the honor system and how you interpret your rules. I would almost say that you shouldn’t be losing points because you’ve been told you can’t run. (Particularly since you mention getting up early to run – you have every intention on fulfilling your goals, but your body simply can’t.) |
| goittotge I agree with Sterling, if you intend to follow your rule, but forces outside your control mean you can’t, it seems unfair to lose points over it – if it feels like cheating, maybe you could make yourself go for a longer run or something once you’re back to normal? |

Rumus Cepat Matematika (Aljabar) Menjadi Idaman
Anak-anak sangat menyukai matematika. Mereka minta terus dikasih soal. Saya sendiri heran, mengapa mereka begitu semangat?
“Lagi Pak. Kasih soal lagi Pak!” anak-anak menantang saya.
“306 x 303 = …” saya keluarkan soal.
“Sembilan…dua tujuh…delapan belas!” jawab mereka ramai-ramai.
“Maksudnya berapa?”
“92718”
“Betul!”
Anak-anak yang terdiri dari kelas 3 sampai kelas 5 SD itu senang menemukan cara berhitung cepat perkalian ratusan kali ratusan. Bagi mereka itu adalah rumus cepat matematika yang diidam-idamkan.
Anak-anak SMA yang menjelang UN, SPMB, dan UMPTN 2008 juga tidak kalah semangat. Jika mereka memperoleh rumus matematika cepat untuk UN, SPMB, dan UMPTN maka matanya langsung berbinar-binar. Wajahnya berseri-seri.
Saya sering mengatakan kepada mereka,
”Maukah kalian dapat soal bonus?”
”Apa itu soal bonus?”
”Soal UN, SPMB, atau UMPTN yang selalu dapat kamu selesaikan dengan mudah.”
”Ya maulah…”
”Limit.”
Limit kan sangat abstrak dan sulit? Bagaimana bisa dikatakan sebagai bonus? Itulah intinya. Limit adalah ide fundamental dalam kalkulus. Karena limit sangat kaya akan variasi dan abstrak bagi orang awam, maka limit hanya diperkenalkan bagian dasar saja untuk anak tingkat SMA. Jadi limit tingkat SMA tentu yang mudah-mudah saja. Limit adalah bonus.
Sekedar contoh rumus cepat untuk limit. Kadang orang menyebut rumus cepat sebagai trik cepat, fastest solution, king of fastest, atau rumus sesat. Boleh-boleh saja.
Soal berikut ini sangat mudah. Sudah pernah diujikan untuk tes masuk ITB sejak tahun 70-an. Tetapi entah mengapa, soal limit tipe ini tetap sering diujikan sampai sekarang. Benar-benar bonus untuk kita.
Untuk limit x menuju 0 hitunglah
(tg5x)/(sin3x) = …
Bagi orang awam jawabannya sangat mudah yaitu 5/3.
Apakah Anda yakin itu jawaban yang benar?
Banyak anak-anak karena ragu, karena dirasa terlalu mudah, malah tidak mau menjawab dengan 5/3.
Mari kita diskusikan!
Untuk membahasnya kita perlu ke dasar-dasar limit trigonometri. Sudah banyak dibuktikan dalam buku-buku bahwa untuk limit x menuju 0 berlaku:
(sinx)/x = 1;
(tgx)/x = 1;
Biasanya anak-anak harus hafal rumus di atas. Bagi saya rumus ini adalah rumus cepat limit. Tetapi rumus ini beruntung. Ia tidak pernah disebut sebagai rumus sesat. Ia mendapat gelar kehormatan sebagai rumus dasar limit trigonometri.
Dengan rumus dasar limit trigonometri ini kita akan memecahkan
(tg5x)/(sin3x) =
[(tg5x)(5x/5x)]/[(sin3x)(3x/3x)] =
[(tga)(a/a)]/[(sinb)(b/b)]
dengan a = 5x dan b = 3x;
gunakan rumus dasar trigonometri:
] =
[5x]/[3x] =
= 5/3 (Selesai)
Kita peroleh jawaban 5/3 sesuai tebakan awal kita.
Apakah kita selalu boleh melakukan tebakan semacam itu?
Boleh.
Tebakan ini sah. Kita mendasarkan pada rumus dasar limit trigonometri dengan menambah satu langkah implikasi.
Karena (sinx)/x = 1 maka (sinx) = x;
karena (tgx)/x = 1 maka (tgx) = x.
Jadi rumus dasar trigonometri yang kita hafal adalah
sinx = x;
tgx = x.
Dengan sedikit mengubah cara pandang ini akan membawa keberuntungan besar pada UN, SPMB, UMPTN 2008. Siswa-siswa SMA, mestinya tidak asing dengan cara pandang ini. Kita telah memakai cara pandang ini ketika menghitung interferensi gelombang Young dalam fenomena fisika.
Jadi bila kita terapkan ke soal di atas:
(tg5x)/(sin3x) = 5x/3x = 5/3 (Selesai).
Rumus cepat di atas akan semakin bernilai bila bentuk soalnya semakin rumit seperti
(2x + tg3x)/(x + sin7x) =…
(2x + 3x)/(x + 7x) = 5/8 (Selesai).
Rumus cepat matematika bukan hal baru. Dalam sejarah matematika tercatat bahwa masyarakat memang mengidolakan rumus-rumus cepat matematika. Saat itu rumus-rumus cepat tidak dipandang sebagai rumus sesat. Pun yang menguasai rumus-rumus cepat adalah para ahli matematika itu sendiri.
Pada tahun 1535 Tartagtila mengikuti pertandingan berhitung cepat. Ia melawan murid dari seorang profesor matematika ternama. Tartagtila tidak begitu dikenal di dunia matematika waktu itu. Ia mempelajari matematika nyaris secara mandiri. Tetapi Tartagtila memiliki keistimewaan: ia memiliki rumus cepat untuk memecahkan persamaan polinom pangkat 3.
Aturan pertandingan itu sederhana. Masing-masing peserta menuliskan 30 soal matematika. Kemudian soal itu diserahkan kepada lawan untuk diselesaikan. Siapa saja yang mampu menyelesaikan soal lebih awal dan benar maka ia sebagai pemenang.
Setelah 2 jam pertandingan berlangsung. Tartagtila berhasil menyelesaikan seluruh 30 soal yang dihadapinya. Sedangkan lawannya belum mampu menyelesaikan soal satu pun. Tartagtila mampu menyelesaikannya karena menggunakan rumus cepat. Sedangkan lawannya tidak memiliki rumus cepat.
Tartagtila meraih berbagai kehormatan setelah pertandingan itu.
Rumus cepat adalah terhormat.
Bagaimana jika terjadi komersialisasi rumus cepat? Saya tidak tahu jawabannya.
O iya, saya jadi ingat dengan berhitung cepat yang paling awal tadi bagaimana caranya?
Bagaimana seorang anak kecil dapat menghitung 306 × 303 luar kepala?
Caranya mudah!
Bagi anak SMP sudah mengenal bahwa
(x+2)(x+3)=
x.x + (2x+3x) + 2.3 =
Mirip dengan itu caranya:
306 × 303 =
9 (dari 3×3)
27 (dari 6×3 + 3×3)
18 (dari 6×3)
Kita peroleh jawaban 92718.
Contoh lain
207 × 304 = …
6 (dari 2×3)
29 (dari 7×3 + 2×4)
28 (dari 7×4)
Kita peroleh 62928.

Seroja Bergoyang
Secara fisik, ia sangat menarik. Tetapi secara personal, ia bukan wanita yang ceria, cenderung pemuram dan pesimistis. Ia lebih sering cemberut dibanding tertawa dan tersenyum. Pantas kalau ia tampak lebih tua dibanding umurnya. Dalam hal asmara, ia tak semenarik penampilannya. Tapi bagi pria yang egois dan butuh kecepatan, wanita ini bisa saja jadi pasangan yang cocok. Apalagi, Si Seroja bergoyang ini bukan tipe penuntut.
Ciri fisik :Tubuhnya bagus, meskipun berdada kecil, tapi padat berisi. Beralis tebal, mulut kecil dengan bibir sensual. Pinggulnya tmpak seksi berisi.

Nilai & Mutu Gizi
Banyak orang yang kurang menghargai oncom dibandingkan hasil olahan kacang-kacangan yang lain, seperti tahu dan tempe. Pandangan negatif tersebut muncul karena oncom terbuat dari ampas tahu atau bungkil kacang tanah.
Pandangan tersebut sangatlah keliru, karena sesungguhnya oncom memiliki nilai dan mutu gizi yang baik akibat proses fermentasi. Dari kedua tabel tersebut diketahui bahwa oncom bungkil kacang tanah memiliki protein, lemak dan padatan terlarut yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan oncom ampas tahu.
Hal lain yang perlu disempurnakan agar daya terima masyarakat meningkat terhadap oncom, adalah yang menyangkut penampilan, bentuk, serta warnanya. Untuk lebih meningkatkan daya terima oncom di masyarakat luas, perlu diperhatikan masalah sanitasi bahan baku, peralatan pengolah, dan lingkungan, serta higiene pekerja yang menangani proses pengolahan.
Dengan adanya proses fermentasi, maka struktur kimia bahan-bahan yang tadinya bersifat komplek, akan terurai menjadi senyawa-senyawa yang lebih sederhana sehingga lebih mudah dicerna dan dimanfaatkan oleh tubuh. Proses fermentasi oleh kapang juga akan menghasilkan komponen flavor dan citarasa sehingga menjadi lebih disukai oleh konsumen.
Pernahkah Anda merasakan perut menjadi kembung dan selalu ingin buang gas setelah makan kedelai rebus? Gejala tersebut sangat umum terjadi, akibat terbentuknya gas oleh proses fermentasi oligosakarida yang terkandung di dalam kedelai yaitu raffinosa dan stakhiosa oleh aktivitas mikroba di dalam perut.

Engage in Enjoyable Physical Exercises
When I used to get stressed out, I would always love to go for a relaxing swim or a jog with my friends. This played a tremendous part in my stress relief. I found out that after I completed these activities, I was less tense and more relaxed. It is almost like venting your frustrations in a constructive and safe way. Give it a try and you will notice a huge difference.

Exercise Is Important For Health Maintenance
Asthma is a common disease with a prevalence of up to 10% of some populations. Exercise limitation may be documented with symptomatic disease but at the same time, exercise is important for health maintenance. A study in Chest 2003 showed that about 30% of participants with current asthma, 24% with former asthma patients and 27% who never had asthma were considered to be inactive. Participants with asthma were less likely to engage in running, basketball, golf and weightlifting, but were more likely to use an exercise bicycle than were participants without asthma. The authors concluded that like most US adults, the majority of those with asthma were not meeting the current recommendations for physical activity

Tentang Warteg
Warung Tegal adalah salah satu jenis usaha gastronomi yang menyediakan makanan dan minuman dengan harga terjangkau. Biasa juga disingkat Warteg, nama ini seolah sudah menjadi istilah generik untuk warung makan kelas menengah ke bawah di pinggir jalan, baik yang berada di kota Tegal maupun di tempat lain, baik yang dikelola oleh orang asal Tegal maupun dari daerah lain.
Warung tegal pada awalnya banyak dikelola oleh masyarakat dari tiga desa di Tegal yaitu warga desa Sidapurna, Sidakaton & Krandon, Kecamatan Dukuhturi Kabupaten Tegal. Mereka mengelola warung tegal secara bergiliran (antar keluarga dalam satu ikatan famili) setiap 3 s/d 4 bulan. Yang tidak mendapat giliran mengelola warung biasanya bertani di kampung halamannya. Pengelola warung tegal di Jakarta yang asli orang Tegal biasanya tergabung dalam Koperasi Warung Tegal, yang populer dengan singkatan Kowarteg. Kowarteg hingga saat ini masih kediketuai oleh Sastoro.
Hidangan-hidangan di warteg pada umumnya bersifat sederhana dan tidak memerlukan peralatan dapur yang sangat lengkap. Nasi goreng dan mi instan hampir selalu dapat ditemui, demikian pula makanan ringan seperti pisang goreng, minuman seperti kopi, teh dan minuman ringan. Beberapa warung tegal khusus menghidangkan beberapa jenis makanan, seperti sate tegal, gulai dan minuman khas Tegal teh poci.
Yang unik dari bisnis Warteg ini, meski melayani masyarakat menengah ke bawah, hasil yang didapatkan cukup besar. Hal ini terbukti dari tingkat ekonomi para pengusaha Warteg yang cukup membanggakan. Di Kelurahan, Sidapurna, Sidakaton, dan Krandon kita tidak perlu heran menyaksikan rumah-rumah mewah dibangun di sana. Rumah-rumah itu kebanyakan milik para pengusaha Warteg yang membuka usaha di Jakarta.
| adeku Sekelompok orang Belanda di bawah pimpinan Mr. W.V.Ch. Ploegman pada sore hari tanggal 18 September 1945, tepatnya pukul 21.00, mengibarkan bendera Belanda (Merah-Putih-Biru), tanpa persetujuan Pemerintah RI Daerah Surabaya, di tiang pada tingkat teratas Hotel Yamato, sisi sebelah utara. Keesokan harinya para pemuda Surabaya melihatnya dan menjadi marah karena mereka menganggap Belanda telah menghina kedaulatan Indonesia, hendak mengembalikan kekuasan kembali di Indonesia, dan melecehkan gerakan pengibaran bendera Merah Putih yang sedang berlangsung di Surabaya. |

Sustainability isn’t about the quick fix or the cheap solution. Generally it means making a commitment and trying, as best we can, to honor it. In any worthwhile enterprise, from protecting the environment to preserving a relationship, we are going to encounter difficulties. The good life is not a problem-free life. In point of fact, the process of overcoming adversity often produces some of the most rewarding experiences we will ever have. Human beings need to be challenged to ‘test their mettle,’ as it were. Throwing in the towel at the first sign of trouble or small inkling of distress may be the easy thing to do, but it doesn’t help our self-concept. Most of life’s troubles can be overcome if we are willing to work through them with patience.
