There are dozens of villagers who resided in Sinabung foot, like the Village Sigarang-stern, Kutagugung, Suka Nalun Teran, Bekerah, Kuta Rakyat, Sukanalu Tran, Teachers Kinayan, implant, Three Nderket, Umbrella, Brasteppu, and Rock. And until last night, the entire amount to thousands of residents have fled to areas of higher ground.

Similar is also said Sembiring Star Village Kuta Rayat. "Shot of dust and smoke coming from Sinabung, a position just above Lake Lau Kawar started feels evening. Where dust is almost uniformly against all corners of the village at the foot of the mountain. We were panicking, the shadow of the mountain would erupt as often seen on television makes us immediately evacuated, "he concluded.

While Head of Data and Information Agency of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) Region I, North Sumatra, Hendra Suwarta, Tanah Karo urged residents who live around in your Sinabung not to panic.

"According to estimates BMKG, Sinabung will not erupt, and even still very far from the eruption. Predictions based on the signs at the scene and observed that we do. So not true, yet will erupt, "he said.

While Kadis Kesbang Well Pemkab Karo, Karo-Karo Suang when contacted about 22:00 to say that tomorrow (today, red) Bandung volcanology party will arrive at Tanah Karo, conducts research on the occurrence of some phenomenon Sinabung.

While Wakapolres Tanah Karo, Kompol Juniar Simanjuntak which directly led to the evacuation said masyatakat not panic. (Nanang / amry / Jhon / alvin / ari / wan)

Last erupted in 1600

According to Kadis Kesbang Well Pemkab Karo Karo Karo Suang, according to testimony Vulcanogi Head of Bandung, DR Soerono, since 1967 until now there has been no signs of harm from Sinabung.

Status own Sinabung type B, meaning that the danger was not time yet at the stage. Even so, added Suang Karo Karo, volcanic activity will continue to happen until that time could not be ascertained.

"The reason that happened was that due to rainfall

quite high. So the water into the crater until the resulting emergence of smoke and dust, "he explained.

Not much information about Sinabung volcanic activity since the eruption in 1600. However, there are still manifestations of smoke from water vapor and sulfur.

"Because up until now considered not harmful, Sinabung activity not monitored," he said.

Soerono menenggarai Sinabung activity caused by high rainfall intensity, so the water coming into the crater Sinabung transformed into high pressure steam. This causes the occurrence of phreatic eruptions (steam followed by volcanic ash). This spark leads to southeast Sinabung, because it leads to the opening of Southeast Crater.

So, for a phreatic eruption, it is not destructive. Soerono suggest, if there is rain of volcanic ash, so that people wear masks covering the nose, closing the water / source water for their daily needs.

Meanwhile, the Meteorological and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) North Sumatra have confirmed the volcanic activity that occurred in Sinabung.

"There (volcanic activity). But as far as we can for the possibility of earthquake-related activities did not yet exist, "said Hartanto Prakirawan BMKG North Sumatra. However, Hartanto not sure about the eruption that might occur. "It must be ensured to the volcanology at the Department of Mines and Energy," he said.

The pitch was very motivating

Recently I anwered an internet add for making money on line by simply taking an online survey. The add
was by PaidSurveysEtc.com. The add was very convincing and seemed lagit. The endorsments made it seem like a good opportunity. I clicked on the link and researched the websight where the offer was actually proposed. It was a very long description of how the founder of the company discovered the amazing opportunity to stay home and complete surveys on line for money.
The pitch was very motivating although it didn't go into the complete detail of how the system works.
So, with my head dreaming of filling out surveys and making anywhere from $100.00 to $500.00 a day I
placed my order for $34.00. The $34.00 fee gives you access to the members websight and gives you
instructions to begin your surveys online for cash. There is however, no support system or any further
details as to how the system really works. You are only given information on how to get started by setting
up a new E-mail address for paid survey offers. They do not recommend using an existing E-mail address
due to the influx of survey offers. The next step is download browser software for easier processing when
registering with companies that offer paid surveys. The idea is to register with as many of these companies
as possible in order make more money. The software simplifies the process by storing all personal informaion
and using it repeatedly during the registration process as well as storing all "User Names and Passwords".
The software has an initial free trial period and then you must purchase the renewal or delete it from your
system. The third step is to simply access the sights data base and register with companies that offer
paid surveys.
My experience with the entire process was good until I started registering with companies and discovered
to my horror that in order to get paid for these surveys you had to not only complete the survey you had to
sign up and pay for a business offer. You either had to purchase goods or services. I was very dissappointed.
My objective was not to make money by spending money on goods and services over and over again.
Many of the opportunities involved services that could be cancelled later but who wants to go to all that trouble?
I decided this wasn't for me and requested a refund. I haven't heard anything back yet but they did offer a
money back guarantee. In conclusion. If filling out surveys for money while your also signing up for business
offers, goods, and services is something you might enjoy doing, then this opportunity is definately for you.
But it your like me and you're looking for something that doesn't involve my time and effort being used to make money for the internet companies then stay away from this websight. The opportunity they offer is only a means for them to make money and the internet companies to make money.

The Good Thief

The Good Thief

It is nice to share...Ren does not know anything about his past but he strongly desires for a caring family of his own. He is an orphan and is missing his left hand. His life in a Catholic orphanage/monastery is not easy, but also not tragic.

When a young man named Benjamin arrives at the orphanage and claims to be his distant relative. Benjamin weaves a tale of a father who lived a high adventure and the tragic (but exciting) circumstances that took their parents away. Ren jumps at the chance to live a normal life and have a real family but this dream is shattered almost immediately, when Ren's new "benefactor" engages him in a life of petty theft, fraud, and robbing. Gradually, Ren discovers that Benjamin is a skilled liar.

Ren’s perspective on life, the way he visualizes situations, and his attempt to stay true to an ever-challenged moral code was very adorable, and the cast of characters he encounters is so memorable but the problem is that the story became too foreseeable towards the end...

Secret Habits of Successful Bastards

Secret Habits of Successful Bastards

This is a self help book for people who are too nice to ever be successful. There is a lot of truth in the book but also the author has a fantastic sense of humour. The book focuses on the reverse of what most of us believe is required to become successful i.e. working hard, intelligence and luck. In effect the book tells us that in order to become successful we have to be selfish, tough, ruthless and unpredictable and then goes on to teach us how to change the way we are in order that we become more successful using the author's techniques. The book is written in a unique and funny style which as the author would put it "will have you laughing all the way to the bank". An extract from the book follows whereby the author makes a comparison between himself and "the famously once successful, now dead bastard Lord Robert Maxwell. Like him, when I walk into a room, people mutter "The Ego has landed". Short barked orders and telephones hung up before calls are finished work for me as they did for him. One major difference between us is that I will not fail and have to mysteriously drown myself so the wife gets the insurance money, the kids take the blame and I get to be buried in Holy Land after a full blown state funeral."

OEDIPUS REX

OEDIPUS REX

This is the first part of a trilogy written (out of order, and over a period of several years) by Sophocles to explicate the fate of the House of Thebes. The other two plays are OEDIPUS AT COLONUS (circa 466 BC) and ANTIGONE (circa 446 BC); OEDIPUS REX was performed circa 430 BC. (Aeschylus play SEVEN AGAINST THEBES completes the story we have of this family and its dynastic rule, and their horrific, yet endlessly fascinating, fates). King Kadmos, founder of the dynasty offended the gods, and the curse laid upon him, his house, and his descendants played out to the fourth and fifth generations, reaching its unbearable climax in this play.

In the beginning, there is a terrible plague in Thebes. The gods have said that there is a terrible wrong that has been committed, and that the evildoers must be found out and punished. As king, Oedipus takes on this responsibility for himself and his city. He inquires into the manner of death of the former king of Thebes, and finds that he himself is the person who has killed him, in a roadside brawl many years ago. He also finds that he, who thought he had avoided the fate forecast for him by the oracle of killing his father and marrying his mother, has not avoided it all, realizing, after questioning the blind prophet Tiresias and the shepherd who was given the queen's son to be abandoned on the mountain, that he was adopted by those he had considered his true parents until that point, and finally, in spite of Jocasta's pleas (who realized the truth before he did, and went in and hanged herself) to drop the matter, continues until he, too, realizes the terrible truth. He has done exactly that. He blinds himself in remorse and sorrow, and leaves the city and kingship the children to Creon, Jocasta's brother, wandering off to seek a place to be and seek forgiveness from the gods.

The question of Fate versus human free will is at the root of the endless fascination exerted by this story upon the ancients, and on many, many others since. It is the triumph of Divine Will and Fate over all of men's attempts to contravene it. Every attempt by Oedipus and his parents to avoid the Divine Pattern predicted by the oracles and foretold at his birth and later, when he consulted the Delphic Oracle about the purpose and direction of his life (as any serious and devout young man in those days might, particularly one destined to become a king). His determination to avoid his fate only insures it. His natural parents attempts to avoid the fate foretold for him at birth only made it the more likely, and, finally, inevitable.

Many civilizations have dealt with the OEDIPUS COMPLEX (the sexual attraction and/or union of mother and son)--some explained this as a divine prerogative; others said it could occur and was understandable and excusable if ended as soon as the connection was revealed. Many societies have forbidden (by custom and social pressure, if not outright proscription) marriage or sexual unions between individuals with a sufficient age difference to make such unions a possibility. Some virtually forbid adoption outside the immediate kin-group, where true physical relationships are known, and such incestuous unions, therefore, are impossible or highly unlikely, short of absolute madness. Our society is one of the few that has dealt with this parent-child attraction in a conscious, personalized way, although the horror with which Freud's revelations' opening of these natural (though forbidden as acts) feelings and fantasies nearly destroyed our civilization, shaking it to its foundations. The ancient Greeks projected their fears, longings, and passionately denied personal consciousness onto Oedipus, saw his Divine punishment (though he was, in fact, an Innocent, in nearly every way), and so received CATHARSIS for their own personal longings, and unacknowledged needs, which might otherwise have destroyed them, their families and, in part, their society and its viability.

Life of Pi

Life of Pi  
“The life of Pi” may be the most interesting book you’ve never read! While it professes to be the story of a young man stranded on a boat with a full grown tiger, it may not be about that at all.Starting in India and ending in Mexico, “Pi” spends a lot of early pages before Piscine, as his name is correctly spelled, gets on the fateful boat. We learn about his life as a young man in his father’s zoo, and his curious collection of religions. Born Hindi, Pi learns about Christianity and converts, somehow without dropping Hindi. From there he picks up Islam, once again without dropping his previous beliefs. This makes for a hysterical scene where elders from all three religions approach him and his family on a beach one day. A fight very nearly breaks out.His troubles begin when his father sells the zoo and the family and animals load up to sail to Canada. The ship sinks one night in the dark of Pacific. Only, Pi, an orangutan, some flies, a zebra and a few other animals survive long enough to find the boat. From there the book spans several hundred pages recounting the deaths, one by one of the other animals and Pi’s long, slow relationship with the tiger; his mortal enemy and greatest friend.The narrative seems to make perfect sense until he lands in Mexico and the tiger escapes into the jungle. Agents from the shipping line visit him in the hospital and certain inconsistencies appear in the story. Could it be that the murdered orangutan and zebra were really his mother and an injured sailor? Could the tiger be Pi’s own savage will to survive personified? Deeply symbolic, this book will keep you thinking long after you’ve put it down.

The Tipping Point

It is usually quite easy to work out if something has been particularly successful - generally someone has made pots of cash, and the product or message in question can be seen everywhere. But how that success was achieved is more often than not more difficult to ascertain. Sure, with some companies, it's simply a matter of throwing enough money at a problem until the market is saturated with information on your product. But there are a huge number of anomalies, strange happenings that seem to go against conventional knowledge. Gladwell uses the example of Hush Puppies in America as a backbone to this work - a brand that was struggling, and then seemingly without trying was suddenly in demand and recording record profits. Hush Puppies had reached their 'tipping point'. Essentially this is an economic theory crossed with social understanding. The tipping point itself is the point at which an idea suddenly takes hold and becomes popular. Using one or more of three types of people (connectors, 'mavens', and salesmen) and in the correct circumstances anything can be made to reach its tipping point. The theory, it seems, can even be applied to less tangible things such as the drop in crime in New York in the 1990s. This isn't a long piece of work and certainly isn't written in a manner that will lose a reader. I never thought I'd find economic theory so interesting. There are certain points where Gladwell seems to be labouring and repeating, but overall this is informative and entertaining, and if you happen to be starting your own business, or even just running a personal website, it will certainly make you wonder how you're going to find your own tipping point. And it seems that Malcolm Gladwell's theory has touched a nerve as The Tipping Point has certainly reached its own.

The Horse and His Boy

This book overlaps slightly on some of the events briefly mentioned in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, but is a departure from those books in that the whole story is set in Narnia (or rather, the same planet, but a different part – called Calorman – and the lands between it and Narnia) – and the four main characters are all Narnian, not from our own world.



These characters are:



Shasta - a Narnian (or close) by birth, he has been brought up by a fisherman in a very harsh environment. When he gets a chance to escape his joyless life with Bree - a talking horse (from Narnia – but over in Calorman he has to pretend to be a dumb animal. The others two are (I won’t tell you when / how they enter the story as it would spoil things): Aravis - a spoilt rich brat from Calorman and her horse (also talking), Hwin. But a devious plan by the son of the Tirsoc (ruler of Calroman) threatens to ruin everything… and not just for Shasta et al.



As you would expect with a Narnia book, much of the narrative drive is given to the way the characters develop through self-realisation and an increased awareness and understanding of the world around them. However this is done in a subtler way than in The Magician’s Nephew or The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and thus seems more a natural part of the story and less a moralistic subtext. The religious connotations are also kept down, as the story focuses more on an oppressive regime than anything else. For most of the book I was rather disappointed at the lack of symbolism, but in just a short passage near the end of the book, there’s enough symbolism to keep anyone happy for a while – instead of the normal fairly obvious approach, there’s several layers of symbolic meaning and referencing to biblical events piled on top of one another in a way that defies you to understand all of it on first reading! (Okay so this may not be your sort of thing, but I thought it was great.) This doesn’t hinder the plot development in the slightest however, so children won’t be struggling to understand it – they’ll just read it as a natural part of the story.



The characters are more fully developed here than in the previous books, with a bit more in the way of characters having both good and bad qualities. (Apart from the real baddies.... they’re just bad.) The style of prose is excellent, and while children will enjoy it as a fun story, adults will again find little nuances that make them smile inside. The camaraderie between Bree and Shasta is portrayed superbly, and Bree’s little worries about social ettiquette – such as “Do free horses in Narnia still roll in the grass?” – add to the the depth of Bree’s character which, considering he’s a horse, is pretty deep. The female characters are slightly disappointing but still perform their role in the book reasonably well - since they’re really secondary main characters it doesn’t detract from the book too much.



The plot is well developed and, for a children’s book, is actually fairly complex - I would say that younger children might need help to keep up with what’s going on (and would still lose the significance of some of the passages anyway – though this wouldn’t mar their enjoyment of the book). The ideal age group for this book is probably about 10-14, though I was 27 when I read it and still enjoyed it!



Overall, this is better than The Magician’s Nephew (the opening passages of which had to be endured rather than enjoyed – at least by adults!), and while many will be appalled at me saying this, far better than The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. It’s one of the best books for children that I’ve ever read (including the ones I read when I was a child!!). This is the book that really whet my appetite for reading the whole Chroniles of Narnia series .

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Well what can I say abou this book that has not already been said before. You either love it or you hate it. Hunter S Thompson was a very unique character whom either turns you on or turns you off. His book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was first published in November 1971 issued of Rolling Stone. This book was an immediate success and features Hunter S Thompson and his attorney, travelling to Las Vegas, they get completely stoned, destroy hotel rooms, destory their car, pick up an very young hitchhiker (which is a hilarious scene) and infiltrate the District Attorney's Conference. This book will have you in fits of laugher and gives you a great insight into the author. His reality of the sixties or what he thought the sixties were all about, will have you crying tears of laughter, astonished and wanting more. The author brings you on a journey to the heart of the American Dream in a way that is totally unexpected with so many twists and turns that will leave you astonished. The book was made into a film which was released on 22nd May, 1998, and which was a tremendous success. Johnny Depp plays the notorious Hunter S Thompson and does so with such accuracy that you just know he spent time with the infamous Gonzo journalist. The film was directed by Terry Gilliam, need I say more? On release of the film FLLV the media quote was "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", the movie - Las Vegas viewed at 100mph from a medicine cabinet". That sums up the entire book and Hunter S.Thompson for me. His work will go down in history as will his name continue even after his untimely death. Excellent book that will have you in fits of laughter.

The Essential Rumi

Sometimes when we read something translated from long ago, a person can't help but wonder if the translation is accurate, especially when it's the works of Rumi, an Afghan poet born in the year 1207. The Essential Rumi translated by Coleman Barks with John Moyne is like a journey where there is no measure of time. The book is an ocean of imagery, thoughts, and stories of adventure that could one day be turned into a movie. The way the poems have been translated makes you wonder if you weren't told they were written in the year 1200, you might assume they were written within the last 50 years.

Rumi has an ability to evoke feelings of romance using very few words. I am sure if greeting cards were able to capture emotions with the same intensity, it would be impossible to keep them on the shelves. An example can be found in a number of short unnamed poems in the book such as this one:

I saw you last night in the gathering

but could not take you openly in my arms,

so I put my lips next to your cheek

pretending to talk privately

And what woman would not want her man to write her a note with the words, When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for these two insomnias! And the difference between them.

The book also contains poems more suitable for the bedroom. Poems of passion spanning numerous pages while painting vivid images of lust and adultery, definitely a nice balance to the huge selection of poetry in his book perfect for those moments with a special person while enjoying a glass of wine, and candlelight.

The poems are grouped into twenty-seven divisions with many of the unnamed poems spilling into the next. Not every poem has a title or needs one. Each poem becomes it's own painting and you as a reader feel as though you are walking through an art gallery. Some you will enjoy more than others, but most of them leave a residue of imaginary flavour on your tongue.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the 6th book of J.K. Rowling’s adventurous novel series, documenting Harry Potter’s 6th year of attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.



Harry Potter is now 16 and is getting ready for new life-changing events, including being able to apparate and taking suitable classes to prep him for an Auror career (a job position responsible in seeking out and fighting against dark magic). Along the way, Harry and his friends discover the meaning of adolescence, with young romance blossoming all around them, but that is not all.



After realizing and building up his wizarding abilities for the past 5 years and developing his rival relationship with the greatly feared dark wizard Lord Voldemort – Harry, and his school headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, are on a mission to understand Voldemort’s past – in attempts of getting the upper hand in defeating him and his dark followers (the Death Eaters).



Meanwhile, Harry suspects that Draco Malfoy, a student in the same year is working closely with Voldemort, stewing up a plan to put them all in danger. Harry spends a lot of time trying to incriminate Malfoy, even though his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger are against the idea.



Along the way, his Potions teacher, Professor Slughorn unknowingly gives Harry a textbook containing potion-making shortcuts and un-heard of spells and charms. Harry finds that the book once belonged to a student who called himself the “Half-blood Prince”. Little does Harry know that he has already met this previous student, and that he is already a major part of Harry’s life.



Through magical means of research, Harry and Dumbledore uncover a puzzle that unlocks the mystery behind Lord Voldemort and his seemingly impossible return to the wizarding world (he was thought to be killed long ago when Harry was born.) Together, Harry and Dumbledore go on a quest to retrieve an object that could possibly help them defeat Voldemort.



Upon returning to the school, they find that the Death Eaters have come to Hogwarts, resulting in a major fight. Several truths are discovered, and Harry vows that he will do whatever it takes to defeat Voldemort, in a set-up for book 7.

Sand Resonance

Sand Resonance




In addition to his world of painting, Winarto Kartupat also been active in the performing arts, music and dance.



He pursue some type of percussion instrument like a drum and gondang. Keterlibatanya in the field of performing arts, primarily in the field of modern ethnic-sounding music that is derived from various elements of traditional music, also opened wawasanya to identify further the living art tradition in the neighborhood of North Sumatra.



Painter's interest in part of his work is now exhibited regularly at the 'Sand Painting Gallery ", Oredos this field, the real art world has been there since childhood. This Samiran nurtured thanks to his father, known as a naturalist painter in Medan. Experience is very valuable and fundamental , according to pengakuanya when joined Bagong Kusudiardjo Padepokan art in Bantul - Yogyakarta at 80s.



During the four years involved in padepokan dancer, painter and leading kareografer that, not only technical knowledge and discipline of dance and music that gained. He had the opportunity to learn the technical basics of painting directly from Bagong.



These works can Winaro separated into two trends form. First, the tendency, describing forms of figurative forms of human figures, animals and plants. Here the forms are processed into deformatif-decorative tendencies, until the direction of realism. Second, an entirely kecendeungan display abstract form, particularly geometric shapes: triangles, rectangles, circles and rounded.



In the first form of the trend, easily seen intense efforts to explore Winarto forms of ornamentation, reliefs or sculptures that live in the middle of the tradition of art treasures in North Sumatra, especially the Batak. Appearances bentuh lizard (boraspati) symbolized as a creature keepers at home or against disaster, the painting Winarto present in various versions of interpretation.



One of his work explores the forms of the lizard. Among the formulation composition of a circular field, moving into the middle of an increasingly merged vortex. Work titled "Tsunami" (2004), this according to pengakuanya, is a form of interpretation of the power of God for the balance of macro and micro cosmis. While the work of "Four Winds Angle Eyes" (2006) and "The Shield" (2006). Gecko elements function more as an accent of unity among the various motives and form deformatif abstract sculpture tradition. The work explores the forms of realism such as the head of a horse, boat or statue of the temple, can be considered as an alternative form of figurative language of art to enrich expression Winarto forward.



The second tendency is marked abstract forms of processing can be seen in such works: "Ulos" (2009), "Island of Gold", "Festival of Sound" (2006) and "Calligraphy" (2009, "Etnica" etc.). Important features that stand out as well as play a role in the discovery of the aesthetic vision Winarto work here can be seen from several important aspects.



First, the appearance of structures form (formal structure), which gave him the freedom to explore areas in the domain of a flat two-dimensional space ("Island of Gold", "Calligraphy", "Four Winds Angle Eyes"). Second, the processing can be seen from the aspect of texture elements (from the utilization of various types, sizes and colors of sand) in various levels of density ("Angle Eyes Four Winds," "Tsunami"). The trend can be observed from the three areas that present the effects of space evocation terraces and berelief canvas ("ulos", "Sound Festival", "piece of Borobudur", etc.).



Media Sand



Unlike most artists, preferring to paint (oil, acrilik, tempera, aquarel) crayon, ink or pencil, as the media says is practical and easily obtainable. Winarto instead use sand materials collected from different places. Of course after going through the screening and sorting into different characters and colors are accurate, this new media could be used.



Various sizes of bottles and glasses filled with sand, filled his office in one corner of the room at Taman Medan Culture. Da recognize the right of the character, size and color of the sand used, complete with their origins. Sand obtained from Australia for example, have a tendency to brick red color. Qatar with an ivory white color, the Netherlands has a dark gray color of sand with fine texture like flour, brown Malacca (raw Umber) with little white spots. Obtained from the Jambi area between the yellow-colored sand - ocher with the texture and size is quite smooth. Unlike the coastal areas and sand from the beach which tend to be big and rough, resembling the form of salt with a little white color. From the lowland areas it gets dark brown sand and dark (burn Umber).



In contrast to the works of artists who use new materials. Mixed (mixed media) in the works, but in its final resolution, they generally continue to rely on modern paint or dye. Several years ago the writer had studied the works of painters in Jakarta Ali Alaydrus using sand media into abstract paintings. Sometimes suggestive symbolic, because it combines an abstract field with kris and wayang form. This painter did not take advantage of the natural texture and color of the sand, but menggabungkanya with glue and paint acrilik.



Work Winarto have the independence and uniqueness of a typical in shaping the visual image you want to: just rely on natural color of sand, in various kinds and sizes.



The only manufacturers that use materials other than canvas is an adhesive (glue), to detain and unify the composition of which he forms on the surface of the canvas. With the size of the canvas that many equilateral quadrilateral (square), sometimes imbued line or round-round semi-circle in the middle. He brings a solid impression on the massive and most of his work.



Nature of sand, especially in receiving the reflection of light that responds sensitively and teksur shades. In the musical aspect giliranya maximize the most abstract works Winarto. As the music reached a point keseibangan minimalist aesthetic via rhythmic and peralihanan-tempo transition, his work can sharpen sensitivity through simple forms of formulas. Impression of monotonous repetition of certain forms or motifs, in imbangi with measurable koposisi complexity. Areas Structuring a careful sand color, so the effective response to maximize light in color and vibration (resonance) texture of the sand.



The development of the sand painting Winarto forward, clearly offers a direction for exploration is still in the branching points of culmination is difficult to predict, because highly dependent krerativitas, imagination and power intuisiinya. Many use the same side of the rectangular size (square). Sometimes it was imbued in the middle of a round shape. In the form of an artist who has exhibited his work regularly in galleries .... These fields do seem more effective to structure a simple geometric forms.



In the middle of the development of contemporary painting is more open to new ideas, a phenomenon clearly Winarto sand paintings in a unique position. His work including rare and courageous in terms of the use of natural materials (sand) is. Independence without using a variety of modern media are more popular at least have the courage and reflects the totality of a work. Including the belief there mengadapi market issues that would certainly prefer a common type of media.



Poverty Forum



The phenomenon at work as evidenced by artists like Winarto really shows the activity and spirit to pursue a serious art in the city of Medan is still alive. One factor inhibiting such proper-recognized painter accused of this-the absence or scarcity of art forums that can be expected to stimulate and motivate creativity.



Bi another hemisphere, both countries have advanced and modern, as well as newly developed countries and is still caught between the hegemonic culture, natural resources and economic potential latent surrounding countries (regional). Singapore, art events, such as "bienale", "trienale", "Art Forum", "seminar", "festival" and so forth, have become common sights.



Penyelanggaraan arts forums, no longer seen as the fulfillment of sectoral needs, malainkan as part of the conduct of the cultural agenda of broad dimension. Some may see it in the perspective of creativity and cultural identity, some aspects of the sale value read from the frame of cultural tourism and global tourism. Much appreciate it more legitimate as a readiness to confront and cross-culturally accepted globally.

Free But Still Passion

Free But Still Passion


Right at the date of August 17, 2010 Republic of Indonesia yesterday even 65 years old. If a man aged 65 years are included in the full group's work and the elderly. In the economic system is the age of 65 years of age are not profitable or cool the term had entered the cost center group.




If the State, of course, the age of 65 years is still considered very young and not yet considered an adult. United States alone that have been independent for 234 years requires hundreds of years to be like today. Is long as it should be our new independence of our nation could prosper like other nations?



Obviously, short or long-age independence of a nation can not be used as a reference level of welfare of the people. But at least there is increased prosperity for most people, not just for the few elites. Let alone the welfare of the people concerned, who are suffering for the sake of suffering emerged one after another.



Increasingly difficult to live in Indonesia for most people because of lack of employment, except in the informal sector. Silent jobs due to inhibition of infrastructure development due to the inability of the State against the brokers of land and the electricity sector is stagnant due to lack of clarity about the availability of primary energy policy of the Government.

There are doors of Hell in Uzbekistan




Fire doors are often painted with the atmosphere of a terrible fire burning hot. Conditions such as that contained in a fire gaping hole in the mainland of Uzbekistan, Central Asia. Thus, a fire pit that was referred to as the "gates of Hell."



Fire hole about twice the size of a football field with a depth of more than 30 meters. Initially not that big in size since the first time "gates of Hell" was encountered humans in 1975.



Originally a geologist digging with heavy equipment for the drilling of natural gas. Surprisingly, the location was found a large gap in the basement. Because of their size, all the equipment to dig down into the inside.



The gulf was filled with poisonous gas. There has been no official statement of the Soviet Union at that time relating how the number of victims killed by a hit by poison gas. However, experts get out and all the equipment that was left to fall away.



To avoid a toxic gas that already is open to the sky the earth is spread, experts decided to burn them. Position near a small town named Davaz.



Practically since 1975 that a giant hole belching fire like a volcano and still remain lit until now despite 35 years have passed. Surrounding community that no one dared approach the influence of thermal field up to several hundred meters so-called "gates of Hell."



Until now there has been no explanation of whether the "gates of Hell" was widened or stable in size because of the gas that comes out from the bowels of the earth is burned directly. Although exposed to rain, the fire did not die.



Fire giant hole that looks from a distance because it is located in a vast barren land. When the night, it seems increasingly clear with a yellowish light beam derived from the "gates of Hell".

Parfois, quand nous lisons quelque chose traduit depuis très longtemps, une personne ne peut s'empêcher de se demander si la traduction est exacte, surtout quand il fait des œuvres de Rumi, un poète afghan né en l'an 1207. Le Rumi essentielles traduit par Coleman Barks avec John Moyne est comme un voyage où il n'existe pas de mesure du temps. Le livre est un océan d'images, des pensées et récits d'aventures qui pourrait un jour se transformer en un film. La façon dont les poèmes ont été traduits vous fait vous demander si vous n'étiez pas dit qu'ils ont été écrits en l'an 1200, on pourrait supposer qu'ils ont été écrits au cours des 50 dernières années.

Rumi a une capacité à évoquer des sentiments de romance avec très peu de mots. Je suis sûr que si des cartes de vœux ont été en mesure de capter les émotions avec la même intensité, il serait impossible de les garder sur les étagères. Un exemple peut être trouvé dans un certain nombre de courts poèmes sans nom dans le livre comme celui-ci:

Je vous ai vu hier soir à la collecte

mais ne pourrais pas vous prendre ouvertement dans mes bras,

alors j'ai mis mes lèvres à côté de la joue

semblant de parler en privé

Et quelle femme ne voudrait pas son homme de lui écrire une note avec les mots, quand je suis avec vous, nous restons debout toute la nuit. Quand tu n'es pas là, je ne peux pas dormir. Louange à Dieu pour ces deux insomnies! Et la différence entre eux.

Le livre contient aussi des poèmes plus approprié pour la chambre à coucher. Poèmes de la passion couvrant de nombreuses pages en peignant des images saisissantes de la luxure et l'adultère, sans aucun doute un bel équilibre à la grande sélection de la poésie dans son livre idéal pour ces moments avec une personne spéciale tout en dégustant un verre de vin, et les bougies.

Les poèmes sont regroupés en vingt-sept divisions avec la plupart des poèmes sans nom de se jeter dans l'autre. Pas tout poème a un titre ou a besoin d'une. Chaque poème devient c'est propre peinture et vous en tant que lecteur l'impression que vous marchez à travers une galerie d'art. Certains vous pourrez profiter plus que d'autres, mais la plupart d'entre eux laissent un résidu de saveur imaginaire sur la langue.
