Flood disaster

Flooding is an event setting the mainland (which is usually dry) because of the increased volume of water
Flooding can occur due to excessive water peluapan somewhere due to heavy rain, over river water, or the outbreak of the river dam.

Causes of flooding - Among the several causes of flooding are:
1. Illegal logging
2. Accumulation of trash in waterways, causing blockage of drains.
3. The absence of more ground water recharge to be used as a place for him to rest when his rain to fall. no more green land as a place to recharge ground water. Consequently, when the rains come, the land becomes inundated by water, and then the water continues to slide without any natural barriers which then causes the flood.

Natural factors causes of flooding are:
The storm also caused flooding in several ways, including through the large waves that can reach 8 feet tall. In addition, there are also storm precipitation associated with storm events. Eye of the storm has a very low pressure, so sea level may rise a few meters in the eyes of thunder. Coastal flooding as is often the case in Bangladesh.

Seafloor earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that formed the island of craters (such as Thera or Krakatau) can trigger a huge wave called a tsunami that caused flooding in coastal areas.

Volcano Eruption

Volcano eruption is an event that occurred due to sediment in the bowels of the earth's magma is pushed out by high-pressure gas.
Magma is liquid filament contained in a layer of earth with a very high temperature, which is estimated at more than 1,000 ° C. The liquid magma out of the earth is called lava. The temperature of lava issued could reach 700-1200 ° C. Volcanic eruptions that brought rock and ash can be sprayed as far as a radius of 18 km or more, while the lava to flood so far 90 km radius.
Not all volcanoes often erupt. Volcanoes are often called active volcanoes erupting.

Corruption and Indonesian Culture

Thesis:

Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in Indonesia for three reasons

Argument 1:

Most adult Indonesian or foreigners have known and admitted that corruptions happen in many places. The daily newspapers, news programs on TV and radio have reported corruptions are done everywhere, almost in all departments or public services of this country. Corruptions happen in health, education departments and banks. When we manage to get some documents in public service offices, we usually need much money to pay. Manipulations happen everywhere

Argument 2:

The actions to eliminate corruption are weak. The ever stronger culture seems not to come to an end when the responsible institutions who have to reinforce the justice today commit corruption. This is the worst. Corruptions happen in police department, courts where judges, public prosecutors, lawyers make deals to do corruption. All of us also heard in the end of 2004, Probosutejo reported that he had bribed the Supreme Court, or called Mahkamah Agung which becomes the highest level where the justice can be obtained. Perhaps you have to try to come to the local courts and see what happen there. You will see practices of bribery and other kinds of corruption. Therefore, we can say that corruptions becomes our culture. Do you like it?

Argument 3:

The citizens have no goodwill to fight against the corruption. They create the situations in which people have opportunities to do corruptions. The citizens like to break the rules because they are not disciplined. For example, in the street when they drive a car or ride motorcycle, they do not have the driving license or necessary documents. Then, they are caught by the local policemen. To avoid more difficulties, they like to bribe the officer. The officer let them go then. In other words, the citizens and officers are the same, doing corruption together. If only the people were critical, disciplined, and obey the rules, and willing to report any wrong behaviors, this country will not be number one corrupting country in the world.

Reiteration/ conclusion:

Conclusion Based on the reasons, we can conclude that corruption is becoming a bad culture in Indonesia if it is not ended soon by all of us. It seems that there must be more severe penalty for the Corruptors. Do we still care about the future of this country?

cinderella

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step mother and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had left.
“Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind.
A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

Lompat Tinggi

Lompat Tinggi

Lompat tinggi merupakan suatu lompatan untuk mencapai lompatan yang setinggi-tingginya. Ukuran lapangan sama dengan lompat jauh, Tinggi tiang mistar min 2.5 meter, Panjang mistar 3.15 m.

Dalam lompat Tinggi ada beberapa gaya yang dilakukan, sebagai berikut:
Gaya Gunting (Scissors)
Gaya gunting bisa dikatakan Gaya Sweney, sebab pada waktu sebelumnya (yang lalu) masih digunakan gaya jongkok. Tepatnya tahun 1880, selanjutnya tahun 1896 sweny mengubahnya dari gaya jongkok menjadi gaya gunting. Diganti karena kurang ekonomis.
Cara melakukan:
Si pelompat mengambil awalan dari tengah. Bila pelompat pada saat akan melompat, tumpuan pakai kaki kiri (bila ayunan kaki kanan), maka ia mendarat (jatuh) dengan kaki lagi. Waktu di udara badan berputar ke kanan, mendarat dengan kaki kiri, badan menghadap kembali ke tempat awalan tadi.

Gaya Guling sisi (Western Roll)
Pada gaya ini sama dengan gaya gunting, yaitu tumpuan kaki kiri jatuh kaki kiri lagi dan bila kaki kanan jatuhnyapun kaki kanan hanya beda awalan, tidak dari tengah tapi dari samping.

Gaya Guling (Straddle)
Pelompat mengambil awalan dari samping antara 3, 5, 7, 9 langkah Tergantung ketinggian yang penting saat mengambil awalan langkahnya ganjil.

Menumpu pada kaki kiri atau kanan, maka ayunan kaki kiri/ kanan kedepan. Setelah kaki ayun itu melewati mistar cepat badan dibalikkan, hingga sikap badan diatas mistar telungkap. Pantat usahakan lebih tinggi dari kepala, jadi kepala nunduk.

Pada waktu mendarat atau jatuh yang pertama kali kena adalah kaki kanan dan tangan kanan bila tumpuan menggunakan kaki kiri, lalu bergulingnya yaitu menyusur punggung tangan dan berakhir pada bahu.

Gaya Fosbury Flop
Cara melakukanya:

• Awalan, harus dilakukan dengan cepat dan menikung/ agak melingkar, dengan langkah untuk awalan tersebut kira – kira 7-9 langkah.
• Tolakan, Untuk tolakan kaki hampir sama dengan lompat tinggi yang lainya. Yakni, harus kuat dengan bantuan ayunan kedua tangan untuk membantu mengangkat seluruh badan. Bila kaki tolakan menggunakan kaki kanan, maka tolakan harus dilakukan disebelah kiri mistar. Pada waktu menolak kaki bersamaan dengan kedua tangan keatas disamping kepala, maka badan melompat keatas membuat putaran 180 derajat dan dilakukan bersama-sama.
• Sikap badan diatas mistar, sikap badan diatas mistar terlentang dengan kedua kaki tergantung lemas, dan dagu agak ditarik ke dekat dada dan punggung berada diatas mistar dengan busur melintang.
• Cara mendarat, mendarat pada karet busa dengan ukuran (5 x 5 meter dengan tinggi 60 cm lebih) dan diatasnya ditutup dengan matras sekitar 10 – 20 cm, dan prtama kali yang mendarat punggung dan bagian belakang kepala.
  

Yang diutamakan dalam melakuakan Lompatan ialah, lari awalan dengan kecepatan yang terkontol. Hindari kecondongan tubuh kebelakang terlalu banyak. Capailah gerakan yang cepat pada saat bertolak dan mendekati mistar. Doronglah bahu dan lengan keatas pada saat take off. Lengkungan punggung di atas mistar. Usahakan mengangkat yang sempurna dengan putaran kedalam dari lutut kaki ayun (bebas). Angkat kemudian luruskan kaki segera sesudah membuat lengkungan.
