Liputan6.com, Salatiga: Sekali lagi siswa-siswa sekolah menengah kejuruan menunjukkan karya mereka. Siswa SMK Negeri 3 Salatiga, Jawa Tengah, merakit mobil berbahan bakar gas elpiji ukuran tiga kilogram. Hasilnya mobil jenis station buatan 1990 bisa melaju dengan kecepatan 100 kilometer per jam sejauh 90 kilometer.
Mereka memodifikasi bagian konventer karburator. Alat konventer karburator saat ini masih sulit untuk dibeli, khususnya di wilayah Indonesia. Pengelola SMKN 3 Salatiga terpaksa harus membeli alat conventer secara on line dari Korea. Alat konventer digunakan untuk mengengganti pengolahan bahan bakar minyak mengunakan gas di bagian karburator.
Dengan dihubungkan dengan radiator mobil, alat konverter bisa mengganti tekanan dari bahan bakar minyak seperti pada karburator untuk membantu mobil melakukan sistem pembakaran. Mobil stasion ini merupakan mobil pemberian dari Pemerintah Kota Salatiga.
Para siswa memodifikasi kendaraan ini cukup besar, mencapai belasan juta rupiah. Untuk membelinya pihak sekolah dan Komite Sekolah secara swadaya membeli alat itu. Namun pihak sekolah SMKN 3 Salatiga optimistis bila alat konverter bisa diproduksi massal, hanya membutuhkan dana sekitar Rp 3 juta untuk mengganti mobil dari bahan bakar minyak ke gas.
Perawatan mobil bahan bakar gas elpji hampir sama dengan merawat kompor berbahan bakar gas. Yaitu dengan cara memeriksa selang gas dari elpiji yang dihubungkan pada conventer menggunakan air sabun. Kebocoran gas bisa diketahui dan kemudian bisa dilakukan pengencangan pada sambungan selang gas atau pada mesin.(AIS)

I think the presence and the increasing number of students of the nation that the government should be more creative can give great appreciation to them not only to give the award alone, but also developed what they created as the article above SMKN 3 salatiga that can make a car with a material and the carburetor fuel their creativity, thus spurring other students to compete in order to further develop their creative and state results will be felt.
And the state should do more concerned with political corruption and the people who just charge it, which makes the younger generation even more neglected and poor creativity! And move the students of the nation, may be able to fix this country with your positive creativity.

Kuala Lumpur (ANTARA) - Heboh tari Tor-tor dan Gondang Sambilan milik komunitas Mandailing yang akan segera diakui sebagai warisan budaya nasional Malaysia merupakan kesalahpahaman mengenai pengertian warisan dan bahasa.
"Jadi ini merupakan kesalahpahaman," kata Kepala Bidang Penerangan, Sosial, Budaya KBRI untuk Malaysia, Suryana Sastradiredja di Kuala Lumpur, Senin.
Suryana mengaku telah menghubungi pihak Kementerian Penerangan, Komunikasi, Kebudayaan Malaysia dan juga Persatuan Masyarakat Mandailing di Malaysia yang memperoleh jawaban bahwa mereka tidak punya maksud untuk mengklaim tari Tor-tor dan Gondang Sambilan ini milik Malaysia.
Ia mengatakan, yang dimaksud akta warisan budaya menurut ketentuan di Malaysia adalah pencatatan terhadap warisan budaya yang dimiliki oleh orang-orang Mandailing Malaysia yang asal-usulnya dari Mandailing, Sumatera Utara, Indonesia.
"Akta warisan kebangsaan tersebut hanya mencatat asal-usul dan bukan untuk mengklaim bahwa budaya Mandailing berasal dari Malaysia," kata Suryana.
Ia menerangkan bahwa masyarakat Mandailing sudah datang ke negeri semenanjung ini sejak ratusan tahun lalu dan sudah beranak cucu. Tentunya, keberadaan mereka di negara ini menginginkan seni dan budaya mereka ditampilkan di Malaysia.
Mereka berpendapat bahwa seharusnya budaya tersebut diangkat sama tinggi dengan budaya-budaya Indonesia yang sudah lama ada di Malaysia seperti budaya Jawa, Minang ataupun Bugis.
"Selama ini, budaya Mandailing tersebut jarang ditampilkan di Malaysia padahal banyak warga negara Malaysia yang keturunan Mandailing," katanya.
Untuk itu, dalam kesempatan acara himpunan anak-anak Mandailing di Batu Caves, baru-baru ini mereka meminta agar budaya tari Tor-tor dan Gondang Sambilan dapat dilestarikan dengan dimasukkannya ke dalam akta warisan budaya kebangsaan tahun 2005.
Dalam pertemuan tersebut, Menteri Informasi, Komunikasi, dan Kebudayaan Malaysia Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim seperti dikutip Bernama, mengatakan tarian tersebut akan didaftarkan dibawah Section 67 UU tentang warisan budaya nasional tahun 2005.
"Namun (pengakuan ini) harus memenuhi persyaratan diantaranya mesti ditampilkan secara periodik, yang artinya tarian dan beat gondang tersebut ditampilkan di depan publik," katanya setelah membuka pertemuan komunitas Mandailing di Kuala Lumpur, Kamis (14/6).
Rais mengatakan, promosi budaya Mandailing penting dilakukan untuk mempelajari asal usulnya, serta mempererat persatuan dengan komunitas lain.
Sejalan dengan upaya komunitas Mandailing memperkenalkan seni dan budaya maka tentulah diharapkan dapat dukungan dari kementerian untuk diakui dan diekspos ke publik Malaysia.
"Bila tercatat dalam akta warisan, tentunya kesenian dan budaya ini dapat lestari dan dipraktekkan karena akan mendapat anggaran dari pemerintah Malaysia," ungkap Suryana.(rr)
Komentar :
I think this problem must be addressed firmly fixed because Malaysia has repeatedly throwing a tantrum by claiming that he belonged to Indonesia culture, especially batik and reog ponorogo and many others. Although only a misunderstanding but I think this issue should be addressed to the firm that Malaysia does not throw tantrums anymore by recognizing that it belonged to him.
This can be a very valuable lesson for us all the people of Indonesia to better show the world that some cultures that have been recognized by Malaysia was actually the nation we belong to Indonesia. And the Indonesian government is also supposed to be more assertive in dealing with this problem again we can not have anymore the original culture of Indonesia which is recognized by Malaysia.

TEMPO.CO, BOGOR - - Kepolisian Resor Bogor masih memburu bos besar jaringan Sandi alias Unyil alias Oon 27, pelaku penembakan dua petugas Satuan Pengamanan Institut Pertanian Bogor. Sebab, pengakuan para tersangka, jaringan spesialisis pencurian sepeda motor yang dikenal sadis ini mendapat pasokan senjata, amunisi, kendaraan dan biaya operasional dari atasanya.
Menurut Kepala Satuan Reserse Kriminal Polres Bogor, Ajun Komisaris Imron Ermawan, kelompok Unyil Cs dalam menjalankan operasi kejahatannya dibiayai seorang bos besar. Sebagai pelaksana, Unyil Cs selalu diberi fasilitas berupa, senjata, uang dan motor sebagai operasional.
"Hasil kejahatan kelompok mereka diserahkan ke sang bos. Ada 25 personil Polres Bogor yang sekarang melakukan pengejaran bos kelompok Unyil Cs," kata Kasat Reskrim di Cibinong, Senin, 18 Juni 2012.
Imron menyebutkan, jaringan kejahatan kelompok Unyil Cs tergolong sadis. Kelompok ini tidak segan-segan melukai bahkan menghilangkan nyawa korbannya yang melawan atau memergoki aksi mereka. Kelompok Unyil Cs sudah mulai beroperasi sejak empat tahun terakhir. Wilayah operasinya seputar Jakarta, Bogor, Depok Tangerang dan Bekasi (Jabodetabek).
Jaringan Unyil Cs, Kasat Reskrim menceritakan, sudah lama menjadi target operasi. Mereka satu per satu ditangkap setelah menembak dua satpam IPB yang memergokinya saat hendak mencuri motor CBR 150R di masjid Al-Huriyah kampus IPB Dramaga Bogor pada Jumat, 25 Mei 2012.
Unyil alias Oon ditangkap terakhir di Lampung Timur oleh Tim Gabungan Polres Bogor dan Polres Lampung Timur. Dalam operasi penangkapan, sebanyak 30 personil dikerahkan. Pelaku, terpaksa ditembak pada kedua kakinya karena berusaha menusuk petugas dengan sebilah badik mengandung racun.
Kasat Reskrim mengatakan, Unyil adalah eksekutor Satpam Suhardi. Dia bersembunyi di sebuah perkampungan di Melinting, Lampung Timur, sebuah wilayah yang mayoritas penghuninya adalah pelaku kejahatan. »Pelaku kami pancing keluar, karena lokasi persembunyiannya, tidak aman untuk dilakukan penangkapan," ujar dia.
Sementara, menurut pengakuan Unyil kepada penyidik, tugasnya bersama anggota jaringan hanya sebegai pemerik, sebutan pencurian motor. "Setelah berhasil, kami serahkan ke bos. Kami hanya dapat komisi. Saat mau operasi, kami dilengkapi dengan senjata api, uang jalan dan kendaraan,”katanya.
Pelaku mengakui dirinya yang menembak Suhardi. Sementara Mamay, rekannya yang ditangkap lebih dulu di Jampang Tengah, Sukabumi yang melakukan eksekusi atas Supriyatna alias Bonar. Dua senjata yang dipakai saat beraksi, diakui, masing-masing senjata berisi 5 peluru.
»Pokoknya dua senjata berisi peluru diserahkan bos, saat kami mau beraksi. Kami tinggal pakai. Kami menembak, karena memang posisi kami sudah tidak menguntungkan," ungkap Unyil.
Kata Unyil, setelah motor ditinggalkan di belakang kampus, pelaku menyeberang kali dengan terlebih dahulu membeli sandal jepit di warung dekat pinggir kali untuk menggelabui petugas. Motor terpaksa ditinggal karena informasi dari rekannya di luar areal kampus IPB, semua akses jalan telah di blok petugas.
Atas perbuatan sadis ini, Kasat menjerat mereka dengan pasal berlapis yakni, pasal 338 tentang pembunuhan, pasal 362 tentang KUHP tentang pencurian dan UU Darurat No 12 tahun 1951 terkait kepemilikan senjata api ilegal.

Komentar :

I think pollicis performance to date is good enough. But police are not quite up to the task here is simply due to the newly captured his men only, while the boss of this network is free or has not been caught. Should police have to add another field personnel to expedite and facilitate the process of finding the boss of this network. Strategies that could be done by putting up posters or face a boss of this network. That way people can know where the existence of this network bosses and the police were able to get more information about the existence of this network bosses. This crime should be dealt with very seriously because this is very cruel crime.
In addition they also hurt their victims do not hesitate - hesitate to kill the victim who fought back. Even the witnesses who saw the crime they could be hurt or even killed by this group. I hope that this case can be quickly completed and the boss of this network can be immediately arrested and detained in accordance with the deeds he had done.

TEMPO.CO, Bojonegoro - Mantan Kepala Badan Ketahanan Pangan Kabupaten Bojonegoro, Jawa Timur, Andreas Wahyono, hingga kini masih bisa menghirup udara bebas. Padahal Andreas yang terlibat kasus dugaan korupsi Dana Penguatan Modal untuk Lembaga Usaha Ekonomi Pedesaan (DPMLUEP) senilai Rp 1,1 miliar telah dua tahun ditetapkan sebagai tersangka. »Soal penahanan tinggal tunggu waktu saja,” kata Kepala Seksi Intelijen Kejaksaan Negeri Bojonegoro, Nusirwan Sahrul, kepada Tempo, Senin, 18 Juni 2012.
Kejaksaan Negeri Bojonegoro, kata Nusirwan, sudah siap melimpahkan perkara Andreas ke Pengadilan Tindak Pidana korupsi (Tipikor) Surabaya. Bahkan tiga orang jaksa telah ditunjuk untuk menanganinya sebagai jaksa penuntut umum selama persidangan. Mereka adalah Budi Endah Soerjani, Ali Munip, dan Nusirwan Sahrul.
Selama penyidikan kejaksaan telah memeriksa 18 orang saksi. Mereka di antaranya berasal dari kelompok kerja (pokja) dari kantor Badan Ketahanan Pangan Kabupaten Bojonegoro, juga dari Badan Ketahanan Pangan Provinsi Jawa Timur.
Berkas dakwaan terhadap Andreas juga tekah disusun oleh ketiga jaksa tersebut. Namun, menurut Nusirwan, kejaksaan masih memerlukan sejumlah dokumen pendukung. Dengan demikian dakwaan korupsi dengan potensi kerugian negara Rp 1,1 miliar dari total nilai proyek Rp 4 miliar tidak mentah di pengadilan.
Proyek yang dibiayai Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara tahun 2007 itu sebenarnya sudah terkuak sejak 2007. Ditemukan sejumlah penyimpangan penggunaan dana dalam pelaksanaannya, terutama proses peminjaman kepada lembaga usaha ekonomi pedesaan. Akibatnya dana Rp 1,1 miliar tertunggak dan tidak bisa dipertanggungjawabkan.
Andreas tidak bisa dimintai konfirmasi. Sehari-hari Andreas tinggal bersama keluarganya di sebuah rumah di Jalan Panglima Polim, tepatnya di Komplek Perumahan Daerah Kabupaten Bojonegoro. ”Beberapa hari terakhir ini saya tidak melihatnya,” ujar seorang tetangganya, Wawan, kepada Tempo.
Selain di rumah, Andreas juga kerap tampak di hotel dan karaokenya di Jalan Veteran atau di sebelah utara Terminal Rajekwesi. Namun di tempat tersebut Tempo tidak bisa menemuinya.
Komentar :
I think this case should be handled as soon as possible because the longer he is free longer be the case also abandoned. National police should be able to act decisively deal with a serious case especially as he had long been named as a suspect. Some evidence of this case include the discovery of a number of deviations in actual use of funds, especially the process of lending to rural economic institutions. As a result, the funds of Rp 1.1 billion in arrears and can not be justified.
In addition, the indictment against Andrew has also been prepared by the three prosecutors. However, according to Nusirwan, prosecutors still requires a number of supporting documents. Thus corruption charges with the potential loss of state Rp 1.1 billion of the total project value of $ 4 billion is not raw in the courts. I hope that national police, prosecutors and the Commission can work quickly and resolve this case as soon as possible so that suspects can be imprisoned according to the deeds he had done.

artikel 2


TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Wakil Ketua Gabungan Importir Hasil Bumi Indonesia, Bob Budiman mengatakan dirinya dan importir lain harus siap dengan ditutupnya pintu impor hortikultura di Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok mulai pukul 00.00 dini hari, Selasa 19 Juni 2012. "Siap tidak siap harus siap. Siap menghadapi bentuk rasisme terhadap impor," ujar Bob kepada Tempo, Senin 18 Juni 2012.
Saat ini produk hortikultura yang beredar di Indonesia, 85 persennya adalah impor. Jadi menurut Bob, Indonesia tinggal menunggu protes dari sana-sini. Terutama dari Cina. "Jika Anda beli jus apel di pinggir jalan, itu apel dari mana? dari Cina," kata dia.
Aturan penutupan pintu Tanjung Priok terhadap negara selain Amerika Serikat, Kanada, dan Australia menurut Bob tidak berdasarkan riset yang mendalam dan diskriminatif. Alasan yang pertama, adalah karena Tanjung Priok sudah kelebihan beban. "Kami sudah menjawab bahwa Tanjung Priok masih bisa menampung impor seperti biasa. Tapi, mereka tidak bisa menjawab karena memang mereka tidak tahu," ujar Bob.
Alasan yang kedua karena pemerintah mengatakan bahwa produk impor dari negara luar banyak terjangkit organisme pengganggu tumbuhan. Bob menjelaskan, aturan tersebut sebenarnya sudah ada dalam perjanjian bersama World Trade Organization (WTO) yang bernama Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures yang mengharuskan tiap negara pengimpor memiliki Health Certificate.
Sayangnya, Bob melanjutkan, pemerintah lebih memilih untuk meneliti organisme pengganggu tersebut di laboratorium lokal. Pengalihan pintu impor ke daerah lain seperti Surabaya atau Belawan juga berpotensi menimbulkan masalah baru karena kedua tempat tersebut merupakan sentra pertanian.
Sebelumnya, Kementerian Pertanian mengeluarkan Peraturan Menteri Pertanian Nomor 15 Tahun 2012 tentang Persyaratan Teknis Karantina Tumbuhan Pemasukan Buah dan Sayuran, Buah Segar, dan Umbi Lapis Segar Ke Indonesia, serta mengatur pelabuhan dan bandara pemasukan buah dan sayuran.
Kementerian Pertanian juga menerbitkan Permentan Nomor 42 Tahun 2012 tentang Tindakan Karantina Tumbuhan Terhadap Pemasukan Buah dan Sayuran Segar ke Indonesia dan Permentan Nomor 43 Tahun 2012 tentang Tindakan Karantina Tumbuhan terhadap Pemasukan Sayuran Umbi Lapis Segar ke Indonesia.
Melalui kedua peraturan itu, produk hortikultura yang berasal dari negara-negara yang telah diakui area bebas organisme pengganggu tanaman karantina (OPTK) atau sistem keamanan pangan oleh Kementrian Pertanian, diberikan pengecualian, sehingga diperbolehkan masuk melalui Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok. Kedua Permentan itu berlaku mulai Selasa, 19 Juni 2012.
Negara-negara yang telah diakui sistem keamanan pangan seperti yang diatur dalam Permentan Nomor 88 Tahun 2011 tentang Pengawasan Keamanan Pangan terhadap Pemasukan dan Pengeluaran PSAT, yaitu AS, Kanada, dan Australia.

I think this decision is very good because in addition to restricting foreign imports this decision will be good for Indonesia, especially in the agricultural sector. Domestic agricultural output could be consumed by masyaraakat Indonesia. That way the farmers in Indonesia could be more fun because they harvest the results can be exploited and used by the people of Indonesia to the Indonesian people do not need to mengkomnsumsi the fruit from overseas, especially China.
In addition, the reasons for closing the port of Tanjung Priok for imported fruit because Tanjung Priok is already overloaded. A second reason is due to the closure of the government say that the products imported from many countries outside of plant contracting.

TUGAS READING B. INGGRIS


The origins of nest-building remain obscure, but current observation of nest-building
activities provide evidence of their evolution. Clues to this evolutionary process can be
found in the activities of play and in the behavior and movements of birds during mating,
Line   such as incessant pulling at strips of vegetation or scraping of the soil. During the early
(5)     days of the reproductive cycle, the birds seem only to play with the building materials. In
preparation for mating, they engage in activities that resemble nest-building, and continue
these activities throughout and even after the mating cycle. Effective attempts at construction
occur only after mating.
 Although nest-building is an instinctive ability, there is considerable adaptability in
(10)    both site selection and use of materials, especially with those species which build quite
elaborate constructions. Furthermore, some element of learning is often evident since
younger birds do not build as well as their practiced elders. Young ravens, for example,
first attempt to build with sticks of quite unsuitable size, while a jackdaw’s first nest
includes virtually any movable object. The novelist John Steinbeck recorded the contents
(15)    of a young osprey nest built in his garden, which included three shirts, a bath towel, and
one arrow.
 Birds also display remarkable behavior in collecting building materials. Crows have
been seen to tear off stout green twigs, and sparrowhawks will dive purposefully onto a
branch until it snaps and then hang upside down to break it off. Golden eagles, over
(20)   generations of work, construct enormous nests. One of these, examined after it had been
dislodged by high winds, weighed almost two tons and included foundation branches
almost two meters long. The carrying capacity of the eagles, however, is only relative to
their size and most birds are able to carry an extra load of just over twenty percent of their
