15 + 1 Fakta Tentang Indonesia Yang Mendunia

Banyaknya persoalan dan pandangan negatif yang sedang dihadapi oleh Indonesia, diantaranya tentang dunia politik, keamanan, bahkan kesejahteraan rakyat kecil sedikit banyak memang mempengaruhi citra pemerintah dan negara di mata masyarakat Indonesia sendiri maupun dunia internasional. 

Namun sebenarnya, sekedar saling mengingatkan bahwa negeri kita adalah negeri yang sangat kaya dan berpotensi, baik dari sumber daya alamnya ataupun dari budaya asli seperti sebagai negara dengan suku, bangsa, dan bahasa yang terbanyak di dunia. Selain itu juga terdapat beberapa prestasi dari anak-anak bangsa yang begitu membanggakan. Dan berikut 7 fakta tentang Indonesia yang mendunia.

Population of Sumatra elephants in critical condition

"The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is raising the threatened status of Sumatra elephant from precarious to critical meaning only a step to be extinct," he added.

This is the worst condition compared to the other elephant sub species which inhibit in Asia and Africa.

In the last nine months there are seven elephant which died in Riau, and of the seven died in Tesso Nilo forest inside and outside the protected forest.

According to Syamsidar the number is increasingly rising compared to the previous years which were only two elephants which died due to hunting.

HUKUM ARCHIMEDES

ARCHIMEDES
Ambil sebuah batu, kemudian celupkan dalam air. Apa yang anda  rasakan? Batu terasa ringan bukan? Sekarang ambil sekeping papan lalu letakkan pada permukaan air, tampak papan terapung.

Mengapa batu tampak lebih ringan dan kayu terapung? Pada waktu batu diletakkan di dalam air, batu akan mendapat tekanan dari segalah arah. Gaya arah mendatar saling menghapuskan sedangkan pada arah vertikal tidak. Gaya hidrostatik pada permukaan bawah benda ( F_A ) lebih besar dibandingkan dengan gaya hidrostatik di permukaan atas benda, karena F_B (P= ρ g h , berarti semakin ke bawah semakin besar gaya hidrostatiknya.)

Selisih Gaya yang ke atas dan yang ke bawah dinamakan dengan gaya ke atas. Akibat gaya ke atas inilah batu terasa lebih ringan ketika berada di dalam air.

            Berat dalam air = Berat di udara – Gaya ke atas

Judism Planning For Muslim

Rencana besar Yahudi

Seperti anda tahu bahwa bani Israel dipandang oleh sebagian org sbg bangsa yg diberkati, umat pilihan Allah; sementara yg lain mengatakan sbg kaum pembunuh para nabi dan memusuhi jalan ketauhidan. Tetapi mengapa org Yahudi begitu dahsyat dan hebat? Dari sekumpulan bangsa tercerai berai tanpa negara dan sempat dimusnahkan secara massal dlm peristiwa Holocaust, saat ini mampu mguasai perekonomian dunia, berkumpul kembali mendirikan negara, bahkan berencana mendirikan kembali Haikal Sulaiman (Solomon Temple)


Jika Anda bertanya kpd warga YAHUDIApa sih yg paling berharga di dunia ini selain keimanan kpd Tuhan ???

Bhan Baku Bioethanol, suatu inspirasi masa depan.

Pemilihan Bahan Baku Bioetanol

Merujuk pada berbagai literatur dan jurnal maupun karya-karya ilmiah, ethanol/bioethanol (alkohol) dapat diproduksi dengan menggunakan bahan-baku tanaman yang mengandung pati atau karbohidrat, yaitu melalui proses konversi karbohidrat menjadi gula (glukosa) larut air. Beberapa jenis tanaman yang banyak dijumpai sebagai bahan baku produksi etanol/bioetanol antara lain; ubi jalar, ubi kayu, sorgum manis (cantel), jagung, molasse (tetes tebu - hasil samping produksi gula), dan aren (nira aren).

Fisika

Massa Jenis Dalam Kehidupan

Tentu kita pernah melihat, baik secara langsung maupun melalui TV atau koran, kapal, es terapung, dan galangan kapal. Tetapi pernahkah kita berpikir, kalau kapal, es terapung, dan galangan kapal adalah beberapa contoh dari penerapan massa jenis dalam kehidupan. Kalau belum mari kita ikuti uraian berikut.

1. Kapal Besi Terapung

Kamu mungkin pernah naik kapal untuk menyeberang lautan, selat, atau hanya sungai. Konsep dasar yang digunakan oleh ilmuwan dalam membuat kapal ialah konsep massa jeni s. Tetapi menurut tabel 7.1 massa jenis air lebih kecil daripada massa jenis besi. Bagaimana kapal besi bisa terapung?

Jawabannya ada pada udara dengan massa jenis 0,00129 g/cm3 yang jauh lebih ringan dibadingkan dengan air. Pada pembuat kapal membuat lambung kapal kosong yang hanya berisi udara sehingga massa jenis total kapal lebih kecil jika dibandingkan massa jenis air laut. Hasilnya kapal terapung.

2. Es Terapung

Pada saat kamu ingin minum air yang dingin, kamu dapat mengambil air dari lemari es atau memasukkan es (air beku) ke dalam minumanmu. Akan terlihat bahwa es mengapung di ai. Tahukah kamu bahwa massa jenis es lebih ringan 89% dari massa jenis air dingin? Akibatnya 11% dari bongkahan es berada di atas permukaan air dan sisanya tenggelam di bawah permukaan air. Kenyataan tersebut membuat gunung es yang mengapung di laut sangat membahayakan, khususnya untuk kapal-kapal yang sedang berlayar. Hal ini telah terbukti pada kecelakaan bersejarah yang terjadi pada kapal penumpang Titanic pada tahun 1912. Kapal yang “tidak bisa tenggelam” itu tenggelam di laut Atlantik Utara setelah menabrak sebuah gunung es.

3. Galangan Kapal

Gambar 7.4 Galangan kapal yang digunakan untuk memperbaiki kapalPrinsip kerja galangan kapal serupa dengan kapal, tetapi dapat ditenggelamkan dan dimunculkan. Galangan kapal dapat diisi penuh dengan dengan air laut atau dikosongkan. Kapal yang akan diperbaiki dimasukkan ke dalam galangan. Kemudian, berkuranglah air, ini mengakibatkan yang ada dalam galangan hanya udara yang massa jenisnya jauh lebih kecil. Galangan pun akan terangkat. Akhirnya air di sekeliling kapal habis dan kapal dapat diperbaiki.

Uji Kecerdasan

Tantangan Pertama

Alex mengukur meja belajarnya dengan penggaris. Ternyata panjang mejanya 200 cm dan lebarnya 100 cm. Lalu Alex menghitung luasnya, maka alex-pun menghitung luas dengan cara mengalikan panjang dan lebarnya (200 x 100 cm), sehingga menghasilkan luas 20000 cm2. Coba kamu identifikasi, manakan yang termasuk besaran pokok, besaran turunan, alat ukur, hasil pengukuran, satuan!

Tantangan Kedua

Coba kamu campurkan setengah gelas air dengan setengah minyak goreng dalam satu wadah! what happen? wow ternyata air berada di bawah dan minyak goreng berada di atas! masih penasaran? kocok aja campuran tadi, lalu biarkan! ups, ternyata tetap tidak mau campur! coba kamu cari jawabannya, mengapa itu bisa terjadi!

Tatangan Ketiga

Coba kamu masukkan potongan besi ke air! plung, ternyata besi itu tenggelam? tetapi coba perhatikan kapal yang sangat gede terbuat dari besi yang sangat besar daripada potongan besi tadi! wow, ternyata kapal dapat terapung di laut! mengapa potongan besi tersebut dapat ternggelam tetapi kapal yang segede itu tidak tenggelam?

Tantangan Keempat

Sekarang yang kamu masukkan adalah kayu! ternyata kayu tidak tenggelam, melainkan terapung! kenapa ya bisa begitu?

Tantangan Kelima

Pernah gak kamu liat sebuah danau yang ditutupi salju? kalo pernah, pasti kamu kaget kalo di bawah salju itu, airnya tidak ikut beku. sehingga mahluk hidup, seperti ikan masih bisa hidup walaupun air di atasnya beku. Kira-kira kenapa ya?

ya, cukup 5 pertanyaan itu aja deh! kalo kamu bisa jawab, kamu akan jadi jenius! Met Mencoba! Good luck for u!

Perubahan Wujud Zat

Pada saat tertentu, umumnya zat berada dalam satu wujud zat saja. tetapi, zat berubah dari wujud yang satu ke wujud yang lain.



Perubahan dari wujud padat menjadi wujud zat cair disebut melebur atau meleleh. Misalnya, mentega berbuah menjadi minyak ketika dimasukkan ke dalam penggorengan. Ini artinya perubahan dari padat ke cair membutuhkan kalor (energi).

Perubahan dari wujud cair menjadi wujud padat disebut membeku. Misalnya, air menjadi es dalam lemari es. Ini artinya perubahan ini melepas kalor (energi)

Perubahan dari wujud cair menjadi wujud gas disebut menguap. Contohnya, air menjadi uap air ketika dipanaskan. Ini berarti perubahan ini membutuhkan kalor (energi).

Perubahan dari wujud gas menjadi cair disebut mengembun. Contohnya, embun di pagi hari terbentuk karena perubahan uap air di udara menjadi air. Perubahan ini tidak memerlukan kalor (melepas) kalor.

Perubahan dari wujud padat menjadi wujud gas disebut menyublim. Contohnya, penguapan kapur barus. perubahan ini membutuhkan kalor.

Perubahan dari wujud gas menjadi wujud padat disebut mengkristal (menyumblim). Contohnya, perubahan uap air menjadi salju. Perubahan ini tidak memerlukan energi atau melepas kalor.

Adhesi dan Kohesi

Ada dua jenis gaya tarik menarik antarpartikel: adhesi dan kohesi. Kohesi adalah gaya tarik menarik antarpartikel zat yang sejenis, misalnya partikel air dengan partikel air. Adhesi adalah gaya tarik menarik antarpartikel yang tidak sejenis, misalnya partikel air dengan partikel kaca.

Bagaimana dengan permukaan zat cair dalam tabung kaca? Jika kohesi lebih besar daripada adhesi, maka permukaan zat cair dalam tabung kaca adalah meniskus cembung, contohnya raksa yang berada di dalam tabung kaca. Sedangkan jika kohesi lebih kecil daripada adhesi, permukaan zat cair dalam tabung kaca adalah meniskus cekung, misalnya air dalam tabung kaca. Terakhir, jika kohesi sama dengan adhesi, permukaan zat cair dalam tabung kaca adalah datar (lurus). perhatikan, kohesi disini adalah gaya tarik menarik antarpartikel zat cair dengan zat cair. sedang adhesi adalah gaya tarik menarik antarpartikel zat cair dengan partikel kaca.

Suhu

Konsep Suhu

Pernahkan kamu melihat ibu memasak air? Pernahkan kamu memegang es batu? Tentu kamu akan merasakan air mendidih itu panas dan es batu itu dingin. Nah, derajat panas dingin suatu benda inilah yang dinamakan suhu.
Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, kamu pasti sering mengukur suhu dengan perasaanmu, tetapi ukuran panas dan dingin suatu benda bersifat relatif. Misalnya, sebuah ruangan yang hangat (tanpa pendingin ruang atau AC) akan terasa panas jika kamu memasukinya dari ruangan dengan alat pendingin, sedangkan ruangan akan terasa dingin oleh orang lain yang baru saja masuk dari luar yang cuacanya panas.



Pengukur Suhu
Alat untuk mengukur suhu disebut termometer. Alat ini dilengkapi dengan ukuran derajat suhu dalam suatu skala standart. Satuan suhu dalam SI adalah Kelvin (K) tetapi secara umum kamu menggunakan satuan derajat celcius (C) dalam pengukuran sehari-hari.

Cara Kerja Termometer

Zat untuk termometer haruslah zat cair dengan sifat termometrik artinya mengalami perubahan fisis pada saat dipanaskan atau didinginkan, misalnya raksa dan alkohol. zat cair tersebut memiliki dua titik tetap (fixed points), yaitu titik tertinggi dan titik terendah. Misalnya, titik didih air dan titik lebur es untuk suhu yang tidak terlalu tinggi. Setelah itu, pembagian dilakukan di antara kedua titik tetap menjadi bagian-bagian yang sama besar, misalnya termometer skala Celcius dengan 100 bagian dan setiap bagiannya bernilai 1C.


Jenis Termometer

Berdasarkan Skala

1. Skala Celcius : titik lebur = 0 C dan titik didih = 100 C
2. Skala Reamur titik lebur = 0 R dan titik didih = 80 R
3. Skala Fahrenheit titik lebur = 32 F dan titik didih = 212 F
4. Skala Kelvin titik lebur = 273 K dan titik didih = 373 K

Gelas-Non Gelas

Termometer Gelas :
Termometer klinis, termometer suhu ruang, dan termometer maksimum-minimum.

Termometer non-Gelas : Termometer gelas, termometer bimetal, termokopel, termometer kristal cair, dan termometer hambatan













Konversi Suhu

Untuk mengetahui konversi suhu maka diperlukan perbandingan antara skala Celcius, Reamur, Fahrenheit dan Kelvin

Saat ini, Karl hidup hanya dengan penghasilan sebesar GBP1.000 atau Rp14 juta.

"Saat ini saya bahagia. Cinta, sinar matahari, dan udara segar, itulah yang saat ini membuat saya bahagia," ujar Karl, seperti dikutip Orange, Jumat (18/11/2011).

Pria berusia 49 tahun ini pun menyatakan terima kasihnya terhadap yayasan yang diberikan sumbangan olehnya karena yayasan itu sudah memberikan kebahagian bagi Karl.

"Memiliki sedikit uang merupakan hal yang sangat membahagiakan bagi saya. Ketika saya melihat foto saya dahulu, saya tampak sedih," tambahnya.(rhs)

Corruption Problem

For Students of History, the Corruption Of Indonesia’s Leaders Is Nothing New
Yohanes Sulaiman |

                       NAZARUDDIN

In the 1942 movie “Casablanca,” Capt. Louis Renault, the city’s chief of police, expresses shock to a cafe owner that gambling takes place on his premises. The punch-line immediately appears in a form of a croupier who hands him a stack of money, saying: “Your winnings, sir.”

The scene comes to mind when one considers a more recent drama, the unfolding bribery scandal involving the treasurer of the Democratic Party. Muhammad Nazaruddin is accused of playing a role in both the kickbacks scandal tied to the construction of the Southeast Asian Games athletes village in Palembang and an unsolicited payment to a Constitutional Court official.

Such behavior, unfortunately, is nothing new in Indonesian politics, and related to many obstacles facing political parties. These range from the country’s sheer size, which makes campaigning very expensive, to the lack of loyal leaders and political infrastructure, which forces parties to bribe local strongmen to gather enough votes.

The tale of the linkage between money and power is as old as the history of our beloved republic. Those who study the history of modern Indonesia would not be surprised at current events, as they can find many similarities between behavior and scandals facing today’s political parties and the parties of yore during the rule of President Sukarno.

Even back then, corruption was commonplace, especially ahead of elections. Hugh S. Cumming, Jr., the US ambassador at the time, wrote in a 1954 telegram to the US State Department that an aide to Sukarno, had told him that preparations for the country’s first general elections, in 1955, by the Indonesian National Party (PNI) “were very thorough and far-reaching.”

The aide “had heard the estimate made by a PNI leader in an unguarded moment that through control of the electoral and administrative machinery they could keep the vote down to 30 percent of the qualified electoral list [not yet drawn up] and, if so, could win the elections,” Cumming wrote.

“He said that perhaps I was aware that the PNI ‘preparations’ include the solicitation under pressure of funds from not only the Chinese element of the Indonesian population but also from foreign firms.”

The Masyumi Party, the main rival of the PNI, was the most organized party in Indonesia with branches all over the archipelago. The PNI, while it could rely on Sukarno as its main vote-getter, did not have any strong organization.

As Masyumi was the best-prepared party, the question was not whether it would win the election, but how dominant it would be in the new legislature. Not surprisingly, Masyumi kept demanding the poll go ahead quickly while the PNI and the rest of the political parties were fighting tooth and nail to delay it. Graft and abuse of power was used to catch up with Masyumi, successfully. The PNI went on to win the election, albeit closely followed by Masyumi.

So is that what happened to the ideals of independence warriors? That, just a few years after the life-and-death struggle of the revolutionary war of 1945-1949, politicians were already mired in corruption and scandalous behavior?

The answer was the same then as it is today: None of the political parties in Indonesia are truly rooted at the local level. While parties claim to represent the people, those claims ring hollow.

The easiest way to prove this is to look at parties’ funding: how many of them really get their money from regular people, as opposed to being funded by a small circle of moneyed people closely tied to the political elite, such as leaders of the country’s business conglomerates?

Basically what the parties do is to get enough people to fund their operations, register their parties and start campaigning based on personal appeals or simply buying votes. There is no attempt to build a truly professional political organization from the bottom up or to create loyal, reliable cadres that will help the party gather votes without any demand for political reward.

This kind of campaigning results in a lot of funds being needed to bribe local leaders, who in turn get people to vote for the party.

As parties grow in a nation as large as Indonesia, the need for campaign money is also drastically increasing. This leads parties to engage in graft, such as by demanding payment from their members in the legislature or by siphoning off funds from ministries. At the same time, they also need to get more people funding the parties’ activities and the best way to do so is by “selling” positions in the legislature.

Not surprisingly, many lawmakers are out of touch and arrogant, because they do not see themselves as tasked with representing the people. Therefore, when people are protesting lawmakers’ useless, unnecessary and expensive “study trips” in Australia, Europe and elsewhere, or their wasteful and grandiose white elephants, such as a luxurious new House building, these lawmakers are not at all ashamed. Instead, they are outraged. These seats are rightfully theirs! They bought them for good money. They paid their dues and thus believe that they deserve all the perks.

The corruption scandal involving Nazaruddin is just the tip of the iceberg, as it is highly doubtful that he acted alone. The fact that he became a treasurer of the Democratic Party in spite of allegations that he attempted to rape a woman during the party’s national congress in Bandung last year, meant he was knew how the game is played — and that he knew whom to pay to maintain the party’s electoral dominance.

His alleged attempt to bribe the Constitutional Court, then, should not come as a surprise. The court has been very important in determining the results of many elections in the past few years, particularly in light of increasing doubts about the credibility of the General Elections Commission (KPU), which has been accused of delivering elections to the highest bidder.

With parties that are neither truly representative of local people nor have a reliable political organization at that level of society, it is no wonder that corruption at the level of ministries and the legislature is rife.

It has become the main way for parties in Indonesia to lay their hands on the money they need to ensure their winnings.

History of the champion, of Sea Games

Okt 30 2011

INDONESIA IN THE SEA GAMES HISTORY

Indonesia’s hosting the 26th Sea Games. This biggest event in South East Asia is scheduled to be held in Jakarta and Palembang starting November 11^th up to November 22^nd, 2011.
This is the 4th time for Indonesia to be the host of this Multi Sport Event. Indonesia first hosting SEA GAMES in 1979 in Jakarta where Indonesia successfully copped the over-all championship with 92 golds. In the previous SEA GAMES in 1977 Indonesia was also the winner of this event with 62 golds. That was the first time for Indonesia to participate in the SEA GAMES.

Here below is the List of SEA GAMES winners from WIKIPEDIA.
Year-period-locations-winners (Gold-Silver-Bronze)

According to the list above Indonesia has been the over-all champions nine times and is still hold the record as the most time over-all champions. See pic below:

Up to today, Indonesia is still the best one in The SEA GAMES. So far, Indonesia has collected 1422 Golds, 1262 Silvers and 1251 Bronzes. That result makes Indonesia listed #1 in the SEA GAMES history. See pic below:

Questions:

• What is wrong with Indonesia in the past ten years (1999 up to 2009)?
• Is this year will be the Golden year again for Indonesia?

Hopefully we aren’t just hoping for an “empty can”
