Jangan Sampai Berhenti di Mobil Esemka Saja

2012-01-07T22:56:00.001+07:00

Topik artikel ini tentang : mobil esemka, mobil nasional, mobnas, otomotif, mobil indonesia, smk, esemka,...

Oleh Isyana Artharini | Newsroom Blog – Jum, 6 Jan 2012

Saat pejabat negara berganti mobil dinas biasanya yang muncul adalah celaan. Betapa anggaran negara dihambur-hamburkan demi kendaraan yang lebih mendukung gengsi daripada fungsi. Tetapi, Wali Kota Solo Djoko Widodo membuat gebrakan dengan memilih produk lokal untuk jadi mobil dinasnya yang baru. Mobil jenis sport utility vehicle (SUV) bermerek Kiat Esemka ini dibuat oleh siswa-siswa SMK dengan bekerjasama bersama pemilik bengkel Kiat, Sukiyat, seorang pria yang tidak lulus STM di Klaten.

Aksi Jokowi menggunakan mobil seharga Rp 95 juta ini kemudian malah bergulir menjadi sesuatu yang politis. Dari Gubernur Jawa Tengah, Wali Kota Semarang, sampai Gubernur Jawa Timur ikut mengomentari langkah wali kota populer tersebut. Ada yang menyarankan agar Jokowi "jangan narsis", ada juga yang menyayangkan kenapa Jokowi menggunakan mobil yang surat-suratnya belum lengkap dan belum memenuhi standar keamanan, atau menyebut langkah Jokowi lebih cocok menjadi tagline kampanye.

Terlepas dari perdebatan politik soal motivasi Jokowi, yang seharusnya menjadi sorotan dalam berita ini adalah adanya sekumpulan anak-anak SMK, dengan bantuan sebuah bengkel mobil, telah berhasil merakit sebuah mobil. Inovasi teknologi jarang menjadi prioritas di Indonesia. Sehingga langkah Jokowi seharusnya dilihat sebagai upaya merangsang munculnya inovasi-inovasi teknologi lain itu.

Indonesia biasanya tidak dikenal karena keberpihakannya pada inovasi teknologi dan penelitian. Ketergantungan kita pada sumber daya alam terlalu besar. Indonesia pun terlena, tak mengembangkan sektor pendidikan dan teknologinya.

Padahal, jika kita membandingkan dengan Korea Selatan yang baru merdeka pada 1948, inovasi teknologi adalah kunci kebangkitan mereka sebagai suatu negara karena mereka tak kaya sumber daya alam seperti Indonesia.

Sementara di Indonesia, proyek mobil nasional Timor yang pernah dimiliki Indonesia justru menjadi akal-akalan impor mobil KIA dan sebuah skema pengurangan pajak. Indonesia pun sempat memiliki industri pesawat terbang nasional yang kini dibiarkan mati. Inovasi teknologi lain, bahan bakar blue energy yang berbahan dasar air, juga tidak jelas dasar ilmiah dan pengembangannya.

Bahkan, 'penemu' blue energy Djoko Suprapto sempat dilaporkan ke Polda Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta oleh Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta atas dugaan penipuan sebesar Rp 1,5 miliar untuk proyek pembangkit listrik Jodipati dan energi alternatif Banyugeni.

Rendahnya anggaran riset penelitian menyebabkan banyak peneliti Indonesia yang lebih memilih untuk bekerja di luar negeri. Alhasil, inovasi-inovasi penelitian yang berhasil mereka temukan tidak terjadi di Indonesia.

Meski begitu, kisah Jokowi dan mobil Esemka membuktikan bahwa tanpa dukungan pemerintah pun, inovasi sudah terjadi di tingkat masyarakat. Ada orang-orang yang, meski tanpa kualifikasi pendidikan 'awam' seperti Sukiyat, memiliki kreativitas, mimpi besar, dan kemudian bisa mewujudkannya.

Kami yakin, Sukiyat dan murid-murid SMK pembuat mobil Esemka bukanlah satu-satunya. Ada banyak orang-orang lain yang berusaha mengembangkan inovasi dan teknologi, melakukan berbagai eksperimen ilmiah, dengan caranya sendiri, baik dalam tugas sekolah ataupun secara pribadi. Kami juga percaya, pendidikan, inovasi-inovasi teknologi, serta inisiatif masyarakat adalah cara untuk membangkitkan Indonesia. Dan jangan sekadar menyandarkan diri pada kekayaan alam.

Menurut Anda, apa yang bisa dilakukan untuk memunculkan lebih banyak inovasi teknologi di masyarakat? Jika Sukiyat dan sekumpulan murid-murid SMK bisa melakukannya secara mandiri, apakah menurut Anda dukungan pemerintah masih dibutuhkan?

Jika Anda menjawab iya, apa yang menurut Anda bisa dilakukan pemerintah, baik pusat maupun wilayah, untuk mendorong munculnya lebih banyak penelitian dan inovasi teknologi?

Bagaimana sekolah bisa mendorong murid-murid untuk melakukan lebih banyak eksperimen ilmiah? Sudah cukupkah sekolah memberi perhatian pada penelitian yang dilakukan oleh siswa-siswanya?

Dan tentu saja, jangan sampai Esemka menjadi sebuah kesempatan yang terlewatkan. Apa menurut Anda yang bisa menjadi langkah selanjutnya untuk mengembangkan mobil Esemka?

Kami menunggu jawaban, komentar, dan tanggapan Anda lewat forum komentar di bawah ini.

Mobil Esemka Rajawali - Spesifikasi dan Harga

2012-01-07T22:50:00.000+07:00

Topik artikel ini tentang : mobil esemka, spesifikasi dan harga, mobil nasional, mobnas, otomotif, mobil indonesia, smk, esemka,.

Info Tentang Mobil Esemka Kiat Rajawali. Mobil adalah barang mewah yang keberadaannya hanya dimiliki oleh segelintir orang. Itulah mengapa kepemilikan mobil menjadi sebuah simbol status tingkat ekonomi seseorang. Maka berlomba-lombalah produsen kendaraan bermotor menciptakan mobil dengan berbagai bentuk gaya dan rupa, dengan semua spesifikasi interior dan exterior yang disesuaikan dengan berbagai kasta "ekonomi" masyarakat, mulai dengan spesifikasi minimun sampai spesifikasi mewah alias luxurious.

Namun begitu, kehadiran mobil di Indonesia masih dikuasai oleh produsen mobil luar negeri, seperti Jepang yang menguasai hampir semua lini otomotive di Indonesia, mulai dari merk Honda, Toyota dan Daihatsu, belum lagi negara-negara lain seperti USA dengan seri Ford nya atau negara-negara seperti Korea dan dengan berbagai merk mobilnya yang menggambarkan betapa pasar mobil nasional masih dikuasai produk asing.

Namun berkat motivasi untuk menyediakan mobil bagi masyarakat Indonesia dengan harga terjangkau, pemuda-pemuda bangsa yang duduk di bangku SMK (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan) yang merupakan gabungan dari 12 SMK jurusan Otomotif, di antaranya SMKN 1 Singosari (Kabupaten Malang,Jawa Timur), SMK Warga Surakarta (Jawa Tengah), SMKN 5 Surakarta, dan SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Borobudur (Magelang, Jawa Tengah). menggandeng bengkel Kiat Motor Klaten untuk menciptakan sebuah mobil beraroma Indonesia, yang kemudian di beri nama Mobil ESEMKA Rajawali.

Walau menggunakan mesin dari KIA yang merupakan mesin yang dulu dipakai untuk mobil Timor untuk Esemka Rajawali Generasi pertama, namun penggabungan berbagai komponen tersebut dari tangan-tangan para siswa SMK membuahkan produksi mobil Esemka Rajawali yang memiliki kemampuan dan design yang tak kalah dengan produk-produk luar negeri. Bahkan pihak KIA menyebutkan bahwa mereka kini tidak tahu mesin apa yang digunakan pada Esemka Rajawali generasi ke 2.

Mobil Esemka Rajawali yang merupakan model Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) ini memiliki spesifikasi sebagai berikut :

Spesifikasi Esemka Rajawali SUV

Panjang : 5.035 mm
Lebar : 1.690 mm
Tinggi : 1.630 mm
Bahan Bakar : Bensin
kapasitas Mesin : 1.500 cc SOHC 4 silinder + multi point injection
Transmisi : 6 (1-2-3-4-5-R)
Max Speed : 180 Km/jam
Max. Output : 105HP / 5.500 rpm
Max Torque : 145 Nm / 4.100 RPM
Power Stearing
Central Lock System
Power Windows
Parking Censor
Air Conditioner Dual Zone
Audio System + CD
Daya Tampung 7 Penumpang + Supir

Tampilan SUV Esemka Rajawali pun sangat gagah dan garang, macho sekali, serta tidak ketinggalan jaman. Seperti perpaduan gaya antara Toyota Rush dan Honda CRV. Bahkan saat dibandingkan dengan kedua merk tersebut, Esemka memiliki spesifikasi yang tak kalah jauh. Walau begitu, mobil ini masih menuai berbagai kritikan dan sindiran pedas.

Merk Mobil Esemka Rajawali kini dipegang oleh agen tunggal pemegang merek (ATPM) yaitu PT Solo Manufaktur Kreasi, dan menurut informasi akan dijual dipasaran dengan harga :

Harga Esemka Rajawali tipe Pick-Up Single/Double Cabin Rp. 75 juta s/d 95 juta.
Harga Esemka Rajawali tipe SUV Rp. 100 Juta s/d 125 Juta.

Seriusnya pengembangan proyek Mobil Nasional Esemka Rajawali, diperlihatkan oleh Walikota Solo tempat dimana Mobil ini pertama kali diperkenalkan, yaitu bapak Joko Widodo. Menurut info, beliau tengah serius untuk menggandeng Proton Malaysia untuk meningkatkan mutu dan kualitas mobil Esemka Rajawali.

Informasi terakhir, Esemka Kiat Rajawali semakin dilirik masyarakat, terbukti dengan telah dipesannya lebih dari 2000 unit mobil Esemka Kiat Rajawali, baik itu Tipe SUV ataupun Tipe Pick-Up oleh berbagai kalangan, baik perorangan maupun perusahaan.

Siapa sih guys cewek yang terkenal karena foto bugilnya di internet ? Chika bandung , pasti kamu pernah dengar yang namanya chika. Entah darimana asalnya dan bagaimana si chika ini. Cuman dari informasi yang banyak beredar di internet si chika ini berasal dari daerah bandung jawa barat. Untuk kebenaran informasinya juga sulit dibuktikan .

Harta Karun Dunia Terkenal Yang Sampai Saat ini Belum Di Temukan

2011-11-22T21:50:00.007+07:00

Topik Artikel ini tentang : Harta karun, Tabut suci ,Nabi Musa,Amber Room, Blackbeard's Treasure, Lima (ibukota Peru), Harta Karun Fira'un,

1. The Ark of the Convenant(Tabut Suci)

Tabut suci adalah benda bersejarah bangsa Israel, dan dianggap sbg benda paling sakral di muka bumi. Keberadaan benda ini tertera di kitab suci.

Ukurannya: panjang 44 inchi, lebar 26 inchi dan tinggi 26 inchi. Terbuat dari kayu akasia dilapisi emas di bagian luar dan dalamnya, serta dikelilingi oleh ukiran dari emas. Di ujung2nya terdpt ukiran malaikat Serubin (Cherub) yg berhadap2an, yg terbuat dari emas, dengan kepala menyembah dan sayap terbuka ke atas.

Tabut suci ini digunakan utk menyimpan benda keramat, termasuk dua batu yg berisi 10 perintah Tuhan kepada Nabi Musa. Baik Tabut suci ataupun isinya nilainya tidak terhingga.Tadinya Tabut suci ini diletakkan di Yerusalem, ibukota Kerajaan Israel, yaitu di Kuil Solomon (Nabi Sulaiman).

Di tahun 607 SM kota Yerusalem diserang oleh kaum Babilonia.

70 tahun kemudian bangsa Israel kembali utk membangun kembali kota Yerusalem. Pada saat itulah baru diketahui bahwa Tabut suci telah hilang. Sampai sekrg keberadaan Tabut tsb tidak ada yg mengetahuinya.
Banyak yg percaya bahwa Tabut suci sesungguhnya disembunyikan oleh bangsa Yahudi krn takut direbut kembali oleh bangsa Babilonia. Namun ada juga yg percaya bahwa Tabut suci sdh dihancurkan oleh bangsa Babilonia. Ada juga yg percaya bahwa Tuhan sendirilah yg telah menyembunyikan Tabut tsb.

2. The Amber Room (Ruangan Amber)

Digambarkan sebagai keajaiban dunia ke-8 oleh orang2 yg pernah melihatnya. Amber Room mrpk harta karun paling unik di sepanjang sejarah.

Merupakan sebuah ruangan berukuran 11 kaki persegi, terdiri dari panel2 dinding berukuran besar yg bertatahkan beberapa ton batu Amber yg luar biasa, cermin2 besar yg di sisi2nya terdpt dedaunan yg terbuat dari emas, serta empat buah mozaic Florentine yg luar biasa indahnya. Tersusun dalam 3 tingkat, ruangan tsb bertatahkan permata2 yg tak ternilai harganya. Di dalamnya tersimpan berbagai koleksi benda seni buatan Prusia dan Rusia yg paling berharga.

Dibuat oleh Raja Friedrich I dari Prusia utk diberikan kpd. Czar Rusia, Peter yang Agung pd tahun 1716. Ruangan Amber terletak di Istana Katherine, dekat St. Petersburg. Saat ini mungkin nilai dari ruangan ini lebih dari US$142 juta (sekitar lebih dari Rp 1,5 triliun).

Saat Hitler dgn Nazi-nya menyerang Rusia, penjaga Ruangan Amber was-was. Mrk mencoba utk memindahkannya, namun dinding2nya mulai remuk shg mustahil memindahkan dinding2 tsb. Akhirnya mrk menutupinya dengan wallpaper.

Usaha tsb gagal utk menyembunyikan Ruangan Amber. Saat Nazi meluluhlantakkan Leningrad (saat ini bernama St. Petersburg) pada bulan Oktober 1941, mrk merebutnya serta memindahkannya ke Istana Königsberg selama masa perang.

Ketika Königsberg menyerah bulan April 1945, Ruangan Amber menghilang, dan sampai sekrg tak pernah diketemukan kembali. Apakah sudah hancur oleh bom Soviet sendiri? Apakah tersembunyi di salah satu bunker yg terletak di luar kota? Tak ada yg tahu pasti mengenai nasib ruangan tsb.

Saat ini telah diciptakan replika dari Ruangan Amber, yg dibuat dgn sangat teliti, di Istana Catherine.

3. Blackbeard's Treasure (Harta Karun Jenggot Hitam)

Perompak termasyur, si Jenggot Hitam alias Blackbeard, sebenarnya hanya selama dua tahun melanglang buana (1716-1718). Namun selama masa itu konon dia telah mengumpulkan banyak sekali barang jarahan. Ketika Spanyol sdg sibuk mencari emas dan perak di kawasan Mexico dan Amerika Selatan, Blackbeard dan komplotannya menunggu dgn sabar dan kemudian merompak kapal2 yg membawa emas dan perak tsb. di saat mrk kembali ke Spanyol.

Blackbeard dikenal sbg perompak kejam yg pintar mengambil keuntungan. Wilayah operasinya ialah di sekitar Hindia Barat dan pantai Atlantis di Amerika Utara, dgn markas utamanya di kepulauan Bahama dan Carolina Utara. Riwayatnya tamat di bulan November 1718, saat Letnan Inggris Robert Maynard berhasil menangkapnya serta menggantungnya. Namun harta jarahannya tidak diketemukan hingga sekrg.

4. Treasures of Lima (harta Karun Lima)

Di tahun 1820, di Lima (ibukota Peru) sedang terjadi perang revolusi. Untuk berjaga-jaga, pemerintah kota Lima memutuskan utk memindahkan harta kekayaan kota tsb ke Mexico, supaya aman. Harta benda tsb meliputi batu2 permata berharga, tempat2 lilin dan dua buah patung Maria sedang menggendong Yesus seukuran manusia. Secara keseluruhan, harta senilai U$60 juta tsb terbagi atas 11 kapal dan dikomandani oleh Kapten William Thompson, yg menahkodai Kapal Mary Dear. Namun sayangnya pemerintah kota Lima tdk mengetahui bahwa William Thompson sejatinya adalah mantan perompak. Begitu harta benda itu sudah naik ke kapal, dia segera membunuh orang2 Peruvian yg menjaga harta tsb serta melemparkan tubuhnya ke laut.

5. Pharaos' Missing Treasures (Harta Karun Fira'un)

Ketika thn 1922 Howard Carter menemukan makan Tutankhamen di Lembah Para Raja (Valley of the Kings), Mesir, dia terpesona oleh kemegahan artefak2 yg terdpt di makam raja muda tsb.

Di sekitar makan tsb terdapat banyak sekali batu2 permata serta artefak2. Saking banyaknya, sampai2 Carter membutuhkan waktu 10 tahun utk membuat katalognya.

Namun, saat penggalian makam2 Fir'aun lainnya di akhir abad ke 19 ditemukan kenyataan bahwa makam2 tsb dlm keadaan kosong.

Hampir semua orang sdh tahu bahwa para perompak makam (utk menyebutkan orang2 yg mencuri harta benda di dalam makam) telah menjalankan aksinya selama berabad-abad yg lalu. Namun apabila mrk sampai menggasak habis harta para Fir-aun tsb, maka hal itu sangat keterlaluan. Pertanyaan selanjutnya: di manakah harta para Fir'aun tsb disembunyikan? Beberapa ahli percaya bahwa harta tsb sebenarnya sengaja diambil oleh para pendeta yg melakukan pemakaman atas dinasti Raja-Raja Mesir yg ke 20 dan ke 21 (thn 425-343 SM) di Lembah Para Raja.

Fir'aun-Fir'aun di masa itu konon tidak melarang utk mengambil harta yg ada di makam nenek moyang mrk utk digunakan kembali pada saat pemakaman mrk.

Salah satu petinggi masa itu yg bernama Herihor menjadi contohnya. Herihor adalah seorang petugas mahkamah tinggi di jaman Ramses XI. Pada saat Ramses meninggal, Herihor merebut kekuasaan kemudian kerajaan tsb dibagi dua dengan menantunya, Piankh. Herihor kemudian menempatkan dirinya sbg penanggungjawab upacara pemakaman di Lembah Para Raja, shg dia punya banyak kesempatan utk merampok makam raja-raja terdahulu. Makam Herihor sendiri sampai sekrg tidak diketemukan. Namun, para ahli yakin bahwa suatu ketika misteri hilangnya harta di makam para Fir'aun akan terkuak seiring dengan waktu yg berjalan.

6. Montezuma's Treasures (Harta Karun Montezuma)

Pembantaian atas suku Aztec di Mexico yg dilakukan oleh orang2 Spanyol menjadi perhatian di tgl 1 Juli 1520. Setlh membunuh Kaisar Montezuma, Hernando Cortés dan pasukannya dikepung oleh para ksatria Aztec yg marah, di ibukota Tenochtitlán. Setelah pertempuran sengit selama beberapa hari, Cortés memerintahkan pasukannya utk mengumpulkan harta Montezuma yg paling berharga lalu membawanya kabur. Namun belum begitu jauh mrk melarikan diri, pasukan Aztec berhasil mengejarnya serta membantai pasukan Spanyol di danau Tezcuco. Sisa pasukan yg tersisa segera membuang harta rampasan mrk kemudian langsung kabur.

Setahun kemudian Cortés datang lagi dengan pasukannya utk mengambil kembali harta yg dulu gagal mrk rampas. Namun penduduk Tenochtitlán telah menyembunyikan harta tsb, shg tumpukan emas, permata serta berbagai batu berharga tsb. tidak pernah diketemukan lagi hingga sekarang. Sampai sekrg para pencari harta karun masih sibuk mencari peninggalan suku Aztec tsb di sekitar kota Tenochtitlán yg sekrg telah berganti nama menjadi Mexico City

Tentang SETAN ..: 10 Setan yang Bertanggung Jawab Atas Segala Sifat Buruk Manusia

2011-10-23T13:52:00.011+07:00

Artikel berita ini tentang topik : setan, iblis, lucifer, manusia, nafsu, sifat buruk

Selama Abad Pertengahan, ada banyak legenda setan di mana-mana. Mahluk-mahluk yang tidak jelas adanya, banyak disalahkan untuk segala sesuatu, dari suara serak sampai perbuatan telanjang di muka umum.

Ahli tentang iblis Abad Pertengahan menulis ensiklopedi keseluruhan, termasuk, The Lesser Key of Solomon, Compendium Maleficarum, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, didedikasikan untuk klasifikasi setan dan kontribusi mereka peda perangai buruk dari manusia.

Sebagai orang yang telah menyimpang dari kepercayaan kekuatan-kekuatan jahat, kita telah mengakui tanggung jawab atas perilaku buruk kita adalah diri kita sendiri. tapi Berikut adalah daftar 10 setan yang bertanggung jawab untuk berbagai penyakit hati dan perilaku buruk manusia, menurut legenda takhayul kuno.

SETAN ARDAD

Setan yang menyesatkan Pengembara ...

Jika Kamu berlibur dan memiliki kesulitan menemukan hotel, mobil, peta, obat , atau sisa keluargamu, Kamu mungkin telah bertemu dengan Ardad, iblis yang menyesatkan pengembara. Ardad bukan setan yang kuat, karena pekerjaannya tergolong pekerjaan ringan di kalangan setan-setan.

SETAN AGARES

Gempa bumi, Perkataan Buruk, dan Menghancurkan Martabat

Agares adalah Bangsawan Terhormat di neraka dan memimpin lebih dari 31 legiun setan. Dia sangat menikmati menghancurkan martabat, mengajar bahasa kotor, dan membuat mereka yang melakukannya enjoy juga. Agares juga bisa menyebabkan gempa bumi, yang mengherankan adalah dengan kekuaatan sebesar itu mengapa dia masih sempat-sempatnya mengajar bahasa kotor? bukankah itu pekerjaan Setan Guru?

SETAN ASTAROTH

Kesombongan, Kemalasan, dan Rasionalisasi

Setan Astaroth memprovokasi kemalasan, kesombongan dan rasionalisasi. Dia juga berkuasa pada semua ular. Obat terbaik untuk infeksi Astaroth adalah minta bantuan pada musuhnya St Bartolomeus, yang akan mengajarkan bagaimana untuk tidak menyerah pada godaan Astaroth .

SETAN OSE

Penyakit jiwa

Ose adalah presiden dari Neraka dan membawahi 30 legiun setan. Jika Kamu dalam pengaruhnya, Kamu pasti tidak akan menyadari hal tersebut karena saat itu anda sudah dalam kondisi gila.

SETAN SITRI

Membuat orang menelanjangi dirinya sendiri

Sitri membuat pria dan wanita menelanjangi diri mereka sendiri, dan mengejek dengan mengungkapkan rahasia yang paling pribadi dari masing-masing individu. Bagi mereka yang sering membuat olok-olok publik tentang dirinya sendiri saat mabuk atau setiap gadis yang tetap tegap berjalan dengan pedenya setelah melakukan hal-hal yang berbau mesum dan memalukan (sekandal video porno misalnya) mereka divonis telah menjadi pendukung Sitri.

Mungkin terdengar seperti kabar menyenangkan untuk mengetahui Anda memiliki seseorang untuk disalahkan selain hidup yang memprihatinkan yang Kamu pilih sendiri.

Dalam Lesser Key of Solomon, Sitri adalah seorang pangeran besar dari Neraka, memerintah lebih dari 60 legiun setan. Cara untuk menangkal Sitri adalah meninggalkan rumah dengan memakai baju berlapis banyak dan absen dari alkohol.

SETAN PLUFLAS

Perselisihan, Pertengkaran, dan Kebohongan

Pruflas, seperti yang diceritakan oleh demonologi dari Johann Weyer di Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, adalah Bangsawan dari neraka dengan 26 legiun setan di bawah pemerintahannya. Dia mempromosikan perselisihan, pertengkaran, dan penghianatan. Alangkah mudahnya mengatakan perselingkuhan dan kebohongan tidak bisa disalahkan pada salah satu pihak, itu hanya kesalahan setan Pruflas saja.

SETAN BEEZELBUB

Kerakusan

Beezelbub adalah iblis yang membawa masalah besar. Bahkan, ia adalah salah satu dari tiga yang paling menonjol yang kuat dan berkuasa dari malaikat yang jatuh, di samping Leviathan dan menampakkan diri selama pengadilan penyihir Salem. Dia menyebabkan banyak prasangka dan kecemburuan dalam sebuah pertandingan sehingga bisa menyebabkan pembunuhan.

SETAN ASMODEUS

Setan dari gairah Nafsu

Asmodeus diklaim juga bertanggung jawab pada seks bebas, bahkan dia akan sangat bangga jika korbannya mempunyai dan menyukai kelainan seks yang baru. Kencangkan celana Kamu, karena bagi mereka yang jatuh pada godaan Asmodeus menghabiskan kekekalan dibuang ke neraka tingkat kedua. Dia adalah Raja dari neraka dan bertanggung jawab atas Nafsu dari tujuh dosa mematikan, kekuasaannya terkuat di bulan November.

Dia dapat dengan mudah diusir oleh bau yang dihasilkan dari abu hati ikan yang dibakar, sebagaimana dibuktikan dalam Kitab Tobit.

SETAN VERRIN

Ketidaksabaran

Verrine, bertanggung jawab untuk orang-orang yang tidak sabar dan lekas naik pitam. Verrine adalah pangeran setan dan terdaftar dalam hierarki pertama dari setan seperti yang dijelaskan oleh Sebastien Michaelis dalam Admirable History, dengan klasifikasi setan yang setara dengan berith, setan eksorsisme pada biarawati.

Berdoa ke St Dominikus dapat membantu Anda menyingkirkan Iblis ini, tentu saja itu mungkin akan membantu jika setiap orang di sekitar Anda tidak idiot.

LUCIFER

Biang Kerok Semua Kejahatan

Dari semua tujuh dosa mematikan , Lucifer adalah penanggung jawab utama atas yang menimpa manusia. Dosa ini berasal dari kesombongan Lucifer sendiri yang mengakibatkan kejatuhannya dari surga. Lucifer mencintai dirinya sendiri (sombong) di atas apapun, dan tanpa ketidaktahuan sebagai alasan. Peringkat tertinggi dari malaikat, dengan tempat duduknya di Surga di samping "Tuhan", Tuhan mengijinkan dia berkuasa atas bumi. namun ketika "Tuhan" meninggalkan singgasananya, Lucifer memberi mahkota pada dirinya sendiri dalam tahta surgawi.

Kesombongan Lucifer menyulut perang di antara malaikat, tapi akhirnya Michael berhasil mengusir Lucifer dari surga lalu dia dilemparkan ke bumi dan mendapat julukan Setan Pertama.

Para malaikat yang mengikutinya di musim gugur menjadi setan juga dan saat ini menyebabkan semua penderitaan pada hati manusia, dengan Lucifer sebagai Raja yang memerintah.

Mere plebeian tidak khawatir terlalu banyak pada Lucifer yang terus kuat di Bumi, karena tokoh dunia yang menjadi korbannya jauh lebih menonjol dan terkenal daripada si dalang (lucifer). Dia diklaim terlibat dalam sejarah kekaisaran tirani di Roma, dan bahkan dalam kebangkitan pemimpin dunia yang arogan di jaman modern.

Earn more, work less: 8 great jobs that escape the rat race

2011-10-02T22:34:00.018+07:00

Sadie Nardini

This topic keywords about :earn money,great jobs,work,less,rat race,yoga teacher

Yoga teacher and self-titled “Life Stylist” Sadie Nardini advises her clients, “Think huge—small and medium have a lot of competition.” That’s just what she did when she went from being a broke, harried studio yoga teacher to harnessing technology, streamlining her workload, and earning in a day what she used to make in a week. In 2010, she put in the hours she wanted and netted close to $300,000.

Nardini got her start as a yoga teacher moonlighting after her day job in cubicle land. Eventually, she got fed up with laboring long days for little money doing office work and decided to teach full time. Soon enough, she was teaching 25 classes a week and feeling just as burnt out as before. “I love the scene in ‘Finding Nemo’ where he swims into the current with the sea turtles and speeds effortlessly toward his goal,” she says. “I asked myself, ‘How can I be more passive and less active income-wise?’”

Nardini posted free online videos to gain a wider audience. Now she has 25,000 subscribers on YouTube and 40,000 Facebook followers. She started selling DVDs and teaching at large conferences instead of small classes. She branched out into wellness counseling and life coaching. On a practical level, she set up automatic responses on her website and outsourced all of her administrative work.

Nardini says that fear gets in the way of people actually doing something instead of just talking about it. “People often have skills that they doubt anyone will care about. I advised a friend who loved making bracelets to sell them on Etsy. A magazine featured her work and within a month she had earned more money from her bracelets than she had made in a year working an office job.”

Here are seven more jobs that offer flexibility, fun, and a good wage:

Massage Therapist

According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), the majority of massage therapists work under 27 hours a week. Massage therapist Jenny Adams, who has practiced in Pennsylvania for 20 years, describes the benefits of her career: “I get to wear comfy clothes, set my own hours, and work with wonderful people. Most days I see three to four clients which leaves me plenty of time for other things.”
Gyms, doctor’s offices, sports teams, and spas all employ massage therapists. Some massage therapists are self-employed and travel to people’s homes.

Background requirements:

300 to 1000 in-class hours (varies state to state). See the AMTA website for info.
National certification exam for therapeutic massage and bodywork.
Some states require additional certification.

Earning potential: $60 to $100 per hour

Technical Writer

Are you the only one of your friends who actually reads the manual before powering up a new electronic device? If you are a clear communicator with a good head for technology, you might want to consider a pursuing a career in technical writing—according to the Bureau of Labor Statics, the field is expected to grow by 18 percent between now and 2018.
Technical writers translate technical information supplied by experts into easily understandable language for everyday consumers. They usually work for computer systems and software companies, but could also be employed by engineering or architectural firms or in the medical industry. Many are freelance.

Background requirements:

Most Technical writers hold a Bachelor’s degree in English, Communications, or Journalism.
Being comfortable working with computer systems is a must and desktop publishing and multimedia software experience is also helpful.

Earning potential: $40 to $75 per hour

Make-up artist

Being a make-up artist involves more than just helping people look pretty. Some create detailed prosthetics for film and television. Top fashion and celebrity make-up artists such as Bobbie Brown have created their own multi-million dollar cosmetics lines.
Background requirements:

There are no specific requirements for becoming a make-up artist, but you can take courses at a school such as Make-up Designory (MUD), which has campuses in Los Angeles and New York City.
Some budding make-up artists get their start by working at a department store cosmetics counter or volunteering to do make-up for local theater productions.

Earning potential: Entry level make-up artists earn about $15 per hour, but a Hollywood makeup artist who works on successful films can earn a upwards of a million dollars a year.

Internet Tutor

Internet tutoring covers every imaginable topic and student group: online teachers might help young kids manage homework, do SAT prep with teens, or coach pre-meds in organic chemistry depending on their expertise. One of the larger and more reputable online tutoring companies is Tutor.com. This is a great job for teachers, teachers-in-training, or graduate students interested in earning extra cash or creating a freelance career.
Background requirements:

A degree in teaching or another advanced degree is a big plus.

Earning potential: $15 to $100 per hour depending on educational background.

Social Media Consultant

This business is still the “Wild West” of the publicity world, and one that you can break into with little formal training--if you have the know-how and ambition. Helping companies market themselves using social media tools is an exploding field. Today, most companies and organizations, large and small, need to promote themselves on the Internet and many are hiring savvy media professionals to help them do so.
Most freelance social media consultants start by building their own presence on the web through blogging, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media tools. You can also offer to publicize a small business or other enterprise for free to gain experience.

Background requirements:

A Bachelor’s degree in Marketing or Communications can be helpful but not a necessity since the field is changing rapidly.

Earning potential: $20 to $300+ per hour depending on experience and success rate.

Private chef

Private chefs work in client’s homes or deliver meals to them. Some specialize in a particular cuisine or cook for people with special nutritional needs.
Restaurant chef Kate Duncan had a promising career cooking at a hip bistro in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, but, as she puts it, “no life.” The hours were brutal--she often fell into bed after 2 am and barely made ends meet financially. When a friend suggested she apply for a job cooking for an affluent family who likes to entertain, she jumped at the chance. She now makes more money working 30 hours a week than she used to in 65, enjoys a social life, gets to the gym every day, and generally finds the change “amazingly positive.”

Background requirements:

Cooking in a restaurant offers great experience, but some private chefs get a job straight out of a one- or two-year culinary school program.
Gaining experience in the catering business is another path.

Earning potential: $25 to $50+ per hour

Personal trainer

Personal trainers work one-on-one with clients at a gym or home to evaluate and improve their fitness. The Bureau of Labor Statistics points out that the aging Baby Boomer generation is driving up the demand for fitness workers and the field is projected to grow by about 29% over the next decade.
Background requirements:

Trainers need to be certified. The National Academy of Sports Medicine and the American College of Sports Medicine both offer a wealth of information on certification and careers in the fitness industry.
Additional training in yoga or Pilates can enhance one’s career opportunities.

Earning potential: $30 to $100 per hour

E book : "The Massage Therapy Career Guide: The Truth About Becoming a Massage Therapist"

2011-10-01T21:06:00.025+07:00

Become a SUCCESSFUL Massage Therapist

This topic keywords talk about: become massage therapist, massage, career guide, great jobs

Hello,.. I'm Julie Onofrio ,.. a Licensed Massage Practitioner on Seattle WA,US

If you are thinking of becoming a massage therapist, there are many things you need to know about careers in massage and choosing the massage school that is best for you. Careers in massage are constantly being listed in News Reports as the up and coming career. What they don't tell you is that entry level jobs at the many massage franchises start at $12 an hour. You may as well just become a checker in a grocery store. They will try to get your attention by saying that you can make $60 an hour - well that is only if you start your own business. The average fee that people pay for a massage in the US is $60 an hour. You don't get to make that an hour.

You can be successful in a career in massage and find higher paying jobs as well as start and run your own business when you take the time to research a career more thoroughly and find out what you need to know about becoming a massage therapist. When you are more informed you will be able to flourish in the field of massage.

I have written the after 24 years of having my own massage business and working with many massage therapists in their struggles to build their own business and find higher paying jobs. I wrote it because I want to start helping massage therapists be more informed about the career. I have seen too many people complaining about low paying jobs, trying to get clients and just stay in business. I have seen too many burnout and call it quits after just a few years in the career. I want to share with you my personal lessons I have learned from going through burnout myself.

You can be very successful in a career in massage when you know what a career is really about and how to choose the best massage school to meet your own personal needs for learning and support as you follow your journey.

My Ebook ""The Massage Therapy Career Guide: The Truth About Becoming a Massage Therapist" can help you do just that. When you go into the career understanding just what it is about and accept the challenge your chances of success increase dramatically.

I am writing this after 24 years of making a living as a massage therapist in Seattle WA. Through the years I have seen many massage therapists come and go - some that I have even personally recommended going to massage school. When I first started there were very few jobs and doing massage was more about a lifestyle than making a living. As more massage therapists have entered the market, it makes massage therapists take their massage business more seriously and see it as a business - not a part of themselves.

Being a massage therapist can still be a very rewarding and successful career when you go into it being fully prepared and informed. You can do so when you purchase the "Massage Therapy Career Guide - The Truth about becoming a massage therapist" now in it's 4th edition since 2002. I constantly am updating the information based on feedback from my readers.

----------------------------------------------------

What others are saying:

"Your book pulls no punches and really makes you think about what it REALLY
means to be a massage therapist. I love the fact that you tell us what most
people never do, like don't think everyone has smooth soft skin and are not
hairy. I LOVE THAT...it really did make me think about what I was heading
into. I'm actually enrolled in massage school and will start in two weeks. "

Sue, NJ

"I owe my decision to become a massage therapist to you. Your online book"...Cheryl

"I have been in practice since 2003 and I work alone. I have had many challenges.
Your Ebook helped me in so many ways"... Fris

"I'm pleased to see that you are giving such an honest and truthful opinion
about how a career in massage can really be. I am constantly on the internet
searching for info on massage. I've had an interest in becoming a massage
therapist for a few years. In the meantime, I've gotten a diploma in business and
I'm trying to now make the decision to begin the process of becoming a massage
therapist or to venture into university. I'm very confused about the decision, so its
always great to read things that are not swaying me one way or the other"... Christina

"I just wanted to thank you for this website! The work you put into it is really
valuable and very informative. I am preparing to study at Chicago School of
Massage and you really put everything into perspective, without all the hype
the schools feed us"....Michael

7 Places that are Cheap Now ..

2011-09-04T22:00:00.025+07:00

There's still time to take advantage of the warm weather! Don't opt for a staycation: Instead, check out these seven affordable destinations.

By Miriam B. Weiner

Earlier this month, the New York Times announced the coming of a "double dip recession:" The United States economy seems to be approaching a financial danger zone for the second time since December 2008. That means the penny pinching is going to continue well into the foreseeable future. And when it comes to saving money, many of the sacrifices we usually make have to do with leisure travel.

But for those of you watching the summer breeze by without so much as considering a trip, we have good news for you: Bargains lie in wait for those who look closely. U.S. News Travel has teamed up with Hotwire.com to show you how to take advantage of these last weeks of summer. To help get you started, we've compiled a list of seven destinations that are cheap now. These vacation spots have shown the most significant drop in airline and hotel prices since this time last year, according to Hotwire's Year-Over-Year pricing analysis.

Note: The average prices listed below and in the accompanying slideshow were calculated by Hotwire based on its analysis of all hotels and flights available for each destination.

Orlando, FL

Orlando is known for its budget-friendly
hotel rates.

Family-friendly Orlando is a regular front-runner on Hotwire's Travel Value Index (which annually evaluates cities based on their rates, available "discounts, affordable entertainment and overall appeal"). While pricey Disney World is the main attraction, Orlando does feature a variety of cheaper -- and even free -- attractions. O-Town's hotel and airfare rates haven't dropped since this time last year, but the city's already low prices continually allow thrifty travelers to stretch their vacation budget. And as the new school year draws nearer, more deals become available for last-minute getaways.

For more savings… Purchase combo tickets. If you must visit the theme parks, you can save several hundred dollars by investing in Flex Tickets that grant you entry to five or six parks -- including Universal Studios and SeaWorld -- for a little more than you'd spend on one individual

Chicago, IL

As the summer dies down, so do the crowds, leaving plenty of hotel deals.

Late summer and early fall is a great time to visit the Windy City: The summer tourists are trickling out and the notorious Midwestern winter has yet to hit. According to Hotwire's Year-Over-Year analysis, Chicago's hotel rates have dropped nine percent since this time last year. And since Virgin America began air service to the city in May, airfare is experiencing a drop as well (prices fell eight percent since last summer). Plus, as the warm-weather convention season comes to a close, Chicago will boast great deals for leisure travelers.

For more savings… Invest in a Chicago CityPass or a Go Chicago Card. Both of these programs provide significant discounts on admission to some of the city's top things to do, including the Art Institute of Chicago and the Field Museum.

Riviera Maya, Mexico

Summer's high temperatures and chance of showers keep Mexico's Caribbean coast relatively tourist-free.

Eastern Mexico is entering its annual tourism slump; most tourists are deterred by high temperatures and frequent rainfall. However, travelers who visit in August and early September can skirt the sprinkles while nabbing excellent deals to some of the country's most popular destinations, including Playa del Carmen and Cozumel. According to Hotwire, hotel prices have dropped eight percent since 2010, with five-star rooms going for $135 a night, on average. And you can find flights from the U.S. for as low as $250. And to top it all off, you won't have to pay a cent to enjoy this region's miles of soft sand and Caribbean Sea views.

For more savings… Pay with pesos. Although many restaurants and shops in this region accept United States dollars, vendors are more willing to negotiate a lower price with you if you use pesos.

Aspen's reputation as a high-end ski destination means warm-weather travelers can find great discounts. Hotwire's Year-Over-Year analysis shows that average hotel rates have dropped 12 percent since last summer while airfare has experienced a four-percent dip. And the best of the Rockies -- outdoor activities like hiking and biking -- won't cost you a penny. For those of you planning a September trip, make sure to pack your camera: This is when the region's numerous aspen trees don their golden autumn foliage.

For more savings… Opt for a seat at the bar rather than a table in the restaurant. Many restaurants in Aspen offer discounted lunch and dinner menus at the bar. Sure, the choices may be more limited than in the dining room, but it's all coming from the same kitchen.

Phoenix, AZ

August and September yield slashed rates on some of the city's most desirable hotels.

SEE SOME AMAZING PHOENIX,AZ ON PICTURES HERE..!

Like Orlando, Phoenix is frequently listed on Hotwire's Travel Value Index due to its consistently low summer and fall rates. Tourists generally steer clear during these months, frightened away by the Valley of the Sun's triple-digit temps. But air conditioning is never hard to find, and September will bring about more temperate weather. While this year's hotel prices mimic last year's -- averaging $55 a night -- plane tickets have experienced a six-percent drop over the past 12 months. But the deals won't last long; Phoenix is quickly approaching its high-season, preparing to welcome cold-weather escapists.

For more savings… Fill the tank before you leave town. If you're relying on a car as your primary means of transportation, you'll find that gas is cheapest in Phoenix proper than it is in less-central areas like Scottsdale and Glendale.

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

The increasing strength of the Canadian dollar has prompted our northern neighbors to travel abroad more often than they did before. This developing trend has driven hotel prices down in Canadian cities like Victoria. In fact, Hotwire's Year-Over-Year analysis shows that room rates in the British Columbia city are down 10 percent since last summer. But bargains aren't the only reason Victoria makes our list: The city boasts expansive beaches, massive parks and a lively central square, all of which are free to explore.

For more savings… Avoid the currency exchange office. Victoria businesses accept most major credit and debit cards, meaning that you can avoid the cost of exchanging money. It's a good idea to have some cash on you, but you can simply use an ATM to withdraw.

Atlanta, GA

Many of the city's most popular attractions, including Centennial Olympic Park won't cost you a penny to visit.

The Big Peach is known for having some of the best discounts around. And although the summer and early fall are prime times for business and group travel, many hotels still boast remarkably low prices. While there hasn't been a significant decrease in room rates since last year, a night in Atlanta costs only $62 on average. Airfare, however, has dropped a significant seven percent over the past 12 months. Plus, some of the city's most popular sites -- including the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site and Piedmont Park -- are completely free to visit.

For more savings… Consider the Atlanta CityPass. Although it may seem like a lot of money, this pass allows access to five of the city's pricier things to do, including the World of Coca Cola and the Georgia Aquarium.

Perancang Lambang Republik Indonesia ..

2011-08-20T21:49:00.004+07:00

SEPANJANG orang Indonesia, siapa tak kenal burung Garuda berkalung perisai yang merangkum lima sila (Pancasila). Tapi orang Indonesia mana sajakah yang tahu, siapa pembuat lambang negara itu dulu? Dia adalah Sultan Hamid II, yang terlahir dengan nama Syarif Abdul Hamid Alkadrie, putra sulung Sultan Pontianak; Sultan Syarif Muhammad Alkadrie. Lahir di Pontianak tanggal 12 Juli 1913.

Dalam tubuhnya mengalir darah Indonesia, Arab –walau pernah diurus ibu asuh berkebangsaan Inggris. Istri beliau seorang perempuan Belanda yang kemudian melahirkan dua anak –keduanya sekarang di Negeri Belanda.
Syarif Abdul Hamid Alkadrie menempuh pendidikan ELS di Sukabumi, Pontianak, Yogyakarta, dan Bandung. HBS di Bandung satu tahun, THS Bandung tidak tamat, kemudian KMA di Breda, Negeri Belanda hingga tamat dan meraih pangkat letnan pada kesatuan tentara Hindia Belanda.
Ketika Jepang mengalahkan Belanda dan sekutunya, pada 10 Maret 1942, ia tertawan dan dibebaskan ketika Jepang menyerah kepada Sekutu dan mendapat kenaikan pangkat menjadi kolonel. Ketika ayahnya mangkat akibat agresi Jepang, pada 29 Oktober 1945 dia diangkat menjadi Sultan Pontianak menggantikan ayahnya dengan gelar Sultan Hamid II. Dalam perjuangan federalisme, Sultan Hamid II memperoleh jabatan penting sebagai wakil Daerah Istimewa Kalimantan Barat (DIKB) berdasarkan konstitusi RIS 1949 dan selalu turut dalam perundingan-perundingan Malino, Denpasar, BFO, BFC, IJC dan KMB di Indonesia dan Belanda. Sultan Hamid II kemudian memperoleh jabatan Ajudant in Buitenfgewone Dienst bij HN Koningin der Nederlanden, yakni sebuah pangkat tertinggi sebagai asisten ratu Kerajaan Belanda dan orang Indonesia pertama yang memperoleh pangkat tertinggi dalam kemiliteran. Pada 21-22 Desember 1949, beberapa hari setelah diangkat menjadi Menteri Negara Zonder Porto Folio, Westerling yang telah melakukan makar di Tanah Air menawarkan "over commando" kepadanya, namun dia menolak tegas. Karena tahu Westerling adalah gembong APRA.

Selanjutnya dia berangkat ke Negeri Belanda, dan pada 2 Januari 1950, sepulangnya dari Negeri Kincir itu dia merasa kecewa atas pengiriman pasukan TNI ke Kalbar – karena tidak mengikutsertakan anak buahnya dari KNIL. Pada saat yang hampir bersamaan, terjadi peristiwa yang menggegerkan; Westerling menyerbu Bandung pada 23 Januari 1950. Sultan Hamid II tidak setuju dengan tindakan anak buahnya itu, Westerling sempat di marah. Sewaktu Republik Indonesia Serikat dibentuk, dia diangkat menjadi Menteri Negara Zonder Porto Folio dan selama jabatan menteri negara itu ditugaskan Presiden Soekarno merencanakan, merancang dan merumuskan gambar lambang negara. Dari transkrip rekaman dialog Sultan Hamid II dengan Masagung (1974) sewaktu penyerahan file dokumen proses perancangan lambang negara, disebutkan "ide perisai Pancasila" muncul saat Sultan Hamid II sedang merancang lambang negara.

Dia teringat ucapan Presiden Soekarno, bahwa hendaknya lambang negara mencerminkan pandangan hidup bangsa, dasar negara Indonesia, di mana sila-sila dari dasar negara, yaitu Pancasila divisualisasikan dalam lambang negara. Tanggal 10 Januari 1950 dibentuk Panitia Teknis dengan nama Panitia Lencana Negara di bawah koordinator Menteri Negara Zonder Porto Folio Sultan Hamid II dengan susunan panitia teknis M Yamin sebagai ketua, Ki Hajar Dewantoro, M A Pellaupessy, Moh Natsir, dan RM Ng Purbatjaraka sebagai anggota. Panitia ini bertugas menyeleksi usulan rancangan lambang negara untuk dipilih dan diajukan kepada pemerintah. Merujuk keterangan Bung Hatta dalam buku "Bung Hatta Menjawab" untuk melaksanakan Keputusan Sidang Kabinet tersebut Menteri Priyono melaksanakan sayembara.

Terpilih dua rancangan lambang negara terbaik, yaitu karya Sultan Hamid II dan karya M Yamin. Pada proses selanjutnya yang diterima pemerintah dan DPR RIS adalah rancangan Sultan Hamid II. Karya M Yamin ditolak karena menyertakan sinar-sinar matahari dan menampakkan pengaruh Jepang. Setelah rancangan terpilih, dialog intensif antara perancang (Sultan Hamid II), Presiden RIS Soekarno dan Perdana Menteri Mohammad Hatta, terus dilakukan untuk keperluan penyempurnaan rancangan itu. Terjadi kesepakatan mereka bertiga, mengganti pita yang dicengkeram Garuda, yang semula adalah pita merah putih menjadi pita putih dengan menambahkan semboyan "Bhineka Tunggal Ika". Tanggal 8 Februari 1950, rancangan final lambang negara yang dibuat Menteri Negara RIS, Sultan Hamid II diajukan kepada Presiden Soekarno. Rancangan final lambang negara tersebut mendapat masukan dari Partai Masyumi untuk dipertimbangkan, karena adanya keberatan terhadap gambar burung garuda dengan tangan dan bahu manusia yang memegang perisai dan dianggap bersifat mitologis.

Sultan Hamid II kembali mengajukan rancangan gambar lambang negara yang telah disempurnakan berdasarkan aspirasi yang berkembang, sehingga tercipta bentuk Rajawali-Garuda Pancasila. Disingkat Garuda Pancasila. Presiden Soekarno kemudian menyerahkan rancangan tersebut kepada Kabinet RIS melalui Moh Hatta sebagai perdana menteri. AG Pringgodigdo dalam bukunya "Sekitar Pancasila" terbitan Dep Hankam, Pusat Sejarah ABRI menyebutkan, rancangan lambang negara karya Sultan Hamid II akhirnya diresmikan pemakaiannya dalam Sidang Kabinet RIS. Ketika itu gambar bentuk kepala Rajawali Garuda Pancasila masih "gundul" dan "tidak berjambul" seperti bentuk sekarang ini. Inilah karya kebangsaan anak-anak negeri yang diramu dari berbagai aspirasi dan kemudian dirancang oleh seorang anak bangsa, Sultan Hamid II Menteri Negara RIS.

Presiden Soekarno kemudian memperkenalkan untuk pertama kalinya lambang negara itu kepada khalayak umum di Hotel Des Indes Jakarta pada 15 Februari 1950. Penyempurnaan kembali lambang negara itu terus diupayakan. Kepala burung Rajawali Garuda Pancasila yang "gundul" menjadi "berjambul" dilakukan. Bentuk cakar kaki yang mencengkram pita dari semula menghadap ke belakang menjadi menghadap ke depan juga diperbaiki, atas masukan Presiden Soekarno. Tanggal 20 Maret 1950, bentuk final gambar lambang negara yang telah diperbaiki mendapat disposisi Presiden Soekarno, yang kemudian memerintahkan pelukis istana, Dullah, untuk melukis kembali rancangan tersebut sesuai bentuk final rancangan Menteri Negara RIS Sultan Hamid II yang dipergunakan secara resmi sampai saat ini.

Untuk terakhir kalinya, Sultan Hamid II menyelesaikan penyempurnaan bentuk final gambar lambang negara, yaitu dengan menambah skala ukuran dan tata warna gambar lambang negara di mana lukisan otentiknya diserahkan kepada H Masagung, Yayasan Idayu Jakarta pada 18 Juli 1974 Rancangan terakhir inilah yang menjadi lampiran resmi PP No 66 Tahun 1951 berdasarkan pasal 2 Jo Pasal 6 PP No 66 Tahun 1951. Sedangkan Lambang Negara yang ada disposisi Presiden Soekarno dan foto gambar lambang negara yang diserahkan ke Presiden Soekarno pada awal Februari 1950 masih tetap disimpan oleh Kraton Kadriyah Pontianak. Sultan Hamid II wafat pada 30 Maret 1978 di Jakarta dan dimakamkan di pemakaman Keluarga Kesultanan Pontianak di Batulayang.

Turiman SH M.Hum, Dosen Fakultas Hukum Universitas Tanjungpura Pontianak yang mengangkat sejarah hukum lambang negara RI sebagai tesis demi meraih gelar Magister Hukum di Universitas Indonesia, menjelaskan bahwa hasil penelitiannya tersebut bisa membuktikan bahwa Sultan Hamid II adalah perancang lambang negara. "Satu tahun yang melelahkan untuk mengumpulkan semua data. Dari tahun 1998-1999," akunya. Yayasan Idayu Jakarta, Yayasan Masagung Jakarta, Badan Arsip Nasional, Pusat Sejarah ABRI dan tidak ketinggalan Keluarga Istana Kadariah Pontianak, merupakan tempat-tempat yang paling sering disinggahinya untuk mengumpulkan bahan penulisan tesis yang diberi judul Sejarah Hukum Lambang Negara RI (Suatu Analisis Yuridis Normatif Tentang Pengaturan Lambang Negara dalam Peraturan Perundang-undangan). Di hadapan dewan penguji, Prof Dr M Dimyati Hartono SH dan Prof Dr H Azhary SH dia berhasil mempertahankan tesisnya itu pada hari Rabu 11 Agustus 1999. "Secara hukum, saya bisa membuktikan. Mulai dari sketsa awal hingga sketsa akhir. Garuda Pancasila adalah rancangan Sultan Hamid II," katanya pasti. Besar harapan masyarakat Kal-Bar dan bangsa Indonesia kepada Presiden RI SBY untuk memperjuangkan karya anak bangsa tersebut, demi pengakuan sejarah, sebagaimana janji beliau ketika berkunjung ke Kal-Bar dihadapan tokoh masyarakat, pemerintah daerah dan anggota DPRD Provinsi Kal-Bar.**

Sultan Hamid II Pencipta Burung Garuda

Syarif Abdul Hamid Alkadrie yang bergelar Sultan Hamid Alkadrie II dan Sultan ke 8 Pontianak, Kalbar ini adalah pencipta Burung Garuda. Sultan Hamid juga orang Indonesia pertama yang berpangkat tertinggi di dunia militer.
Pontianak: Nama Syarif Abdul Hamid Alkadrie memang kurang dikenal di Tanah Air. Padahal, tokoh nasional dari Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat ini adalah pencipta lambang negara Indonesia, Burung Garuda.

Selain pencipta lambang negara, Syarif yang bergelar Sultan Hamid Alkadrie II dan Sultan ke 8 Pontianak ini juga adalah orang Indonesia pertama yang berpangkat tertinggi di dunia militer, yaitu mayor jendral.

Sultan Hamid membuat lambang negara berdasarkan penugasan Presiden Sukarno pada 1950. Saat itu dia menjabat menteri tanpa porto folio. Rekannya, Muhammad Yamin sebenarnya juga membuat rancangan lambang negara, Namun, Sukarno akhirnya memilih rancangan Sultan Hamid. Setelah disempurnakan, gambar Burung Garuda diresmikan Sukarno sebagai lambang negara pada 10 Februari 1950.

Salinan sketsa Burung Garuda yang tersimpan di Keraton Kadriah, Pontianak ini menunjukkan proses pembuatan lambang negara sangat rumit hingga harus diubah berkali-kali.

10 Kualitas Pribadi yang Disukai...

2011-05-18T14:04:00.006+07:00

Ketulusan

Ketulusan menempati peringkat pertama sebagai sifat yang paling disukai oleh semua orang. Ketulusan membuat orang lain merasa aman dan dihargai karena yakin tidak akan dibodohi atau dibohongi. Orang yang tulus selalu mengatakan kebenaran, tidak suka mengada-ada, pura- pura, mencari-cari alasan atau memutarbalikkan fakta. Prinsipnya “Ya diatas Ya dan Tidak diatas Tidak”. Tentu akan lebih ideal bila ketulusan yang selembut merpati itu diimbangi dengan kecerdikan seekor ular. Dengan begitu, ketulusan

Kerendahan Hati

Berbeda dengan rendah diri yang merupakan kelemahan, kerendah hatian justru mengungkapkan kekuatan. Hanya orang yang kuat jiwanya yang bisa bersikap rendah hati. Ia seperti padi yang semakin berisi semakin menunduk. Orang
yang rendah hati bisa mengakui dan menghargai keunggulan orang lain. Ia bisa
membuat orang yang diatasnya merasa oke dan membuat orang yang di bawahnya
tidak merasa minder.

Kesetiaan

Kesetiaan sudah menjadi barang langka & sangat tinggi harganya. Orang yang setia selalu bisa dipercaya dan diandalkan. Dia selalu menepati janji, punya komitmen yang kuat, rela berkorban dan tidak suka berkhianat.

Positive Thinking

Orang yang bersikap positif (positive thinking) selalu berusaha melihat segala sesuatu dari kacamata positif, bahkan dalam situasi yang buruk sekalipun. Dia lebih suka membicarakan kebaikan daripada keburukan orang lain, lebih suka bicara mengenai harapan daripada keputusasaan, lebih suka mencari solusi daripada frustasi, lebih suka memuji daripada mengecam, dan sebagainya.

Keceriaan

Karena tidak semua orang dikaruniai temperamen ceria, maka keceriaan tidak harus diartikan ekspresi wajah dan tubuh tapi sikap hati. Orang yang ceria adalah orang yang bisa menikmati hidup, tidak suka mengeluh dan selalu berusaha meraih kegembiraan. Dia bisa mentertawakan situasi, orang lain, juga dirinya sendiri. Dia punya potensi untuk menghibur dan mendorong semangat orang lain.

Bertanggung jawab

Orang yang bertanggung jawab akan melaksanakan kewajibannya dengan sungguh-sungguh. Kalau melakukan kesalahan, dia berani mengakuinya. Ketika mengalami kegagalan, dia tidak akan mencari kambing hitam untuk disalahkan. Bahkan kalau dia merasa kecewa dan sakit hati, dia tidak akan menyalahkan siapapun. Dia menyadari bahwa dirinya sendirilah yang bertanggung jawab atas apapun yang dialami dan dirasakannya.

Percaya Diri

Rasa percaya diri memungkinkan seseorang menerima dirinya sebagaimana adanya, menghargai dirinya dan menghargai orang lain. Orang yang percaya diri mudah menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan dan situasi yang baru. Dia tahu apa yang harus dilakukannya dan melakukannya dengan baik.

Kebesaran Jiwa

Kebesaran jiwa dapat dilihat dari kemampuan seseorang memaafkan orang lain.
Orang yang berjiwa besar tidak membiarkan dirinya dikuasai oleh rasa benci dan permusuhan. Ketika menghadapi masa- masa sukar dia tetap tegar, tidak membiarkan dirinya hanyut dalam kesedihan dan keputusasaan.

Easy Going

Orang yang easy going menganggap hidup ini ringan. Dia tidak suka membesar-besarkan masalah kecil. Bahkan berusaha mengecilkan masalah-masalah besar. Dia tidak suka mengungkit masa lalu dan tidak mau khawatir dengan masa depan. Dia tidak mau pusing dan stress dengan masalah-masalah yang berada di luar kontrolnya.

Empati

Empati adalah sifat yang sangat mengagumkan. Orang yang berempati bukan saja pendengar yang baik tapi juga bisa menempatkan diri pada posisi orang lain. Ketika terjadi konflik dia selalu mencari jalan keluar terbaik bagi kedua belah pihak, tidak suka memaksakan pendapat dan kehendaknya sendiri. Dia selalu berusaha memahami dan mengerti orang lain.

Inilah Manfaat Facebook Bagi Siswa Sekolah

2011-05-16T16:37:00.006+07:00

Aplikasi jejaring sosial seperti Facebook menawarkan platform yang efisien bagi kegiatan bersosial siswa dengan memperluas jaringan pertemanan mereka dan menjaga hubungan akrab. (AP Photo/Binsar Bakkara)

VIVAnews – Situs jejaring sosial seperti Facebook bisa membantu pelajar dalam berinteraksi secara sosial dan akademik, yang akhirnya meningkatkan hasil belajar. Kesimpulan ini diambil dari studi yang dilakukan peneliti asal China dan Hong Kong.

Sekelompok peneliti asal University of Science and Technology of China dan City University of Hong Kong menyebutkan, temuan mereka berkontradiksi dengan pemahaman selama ini bahwa situs jejaring sosial merupakan pengganggu yang mengalihkan konsentrasi belajar.

Temuan mereka, yang dipublikasikan di International Journal of Networking and Visual Organizations, justru mengungkapkan bahwa jejaring sosial online secara langsung mempengaruhi social learning dan bisa mempengaruhi secara positif pembelajaran akademik.

“Pola jaringan sosial di Facebook umumnya adalah dalam bentuk modus inti dan pinggiran. Tiap individu memiliki hubungan dekat dengan teman-teman inti dan hubungan yang jauh dengan banyak teman lain,” sebut salah satu peneliti, seperti dikutip dari media UPI, 14 Mei 2011.

Untuk itu, aplikasi jejaring sosial seperti Facebook menawarkan platform yang efisien bagi kegiatan bersosial siswa dengan memperluas jaringan pertemanan mereka dan menjaga hubungan akrab.

Dalam survey yang dilakukan, diketahui bahwa Facebook memungkinkan siswa berhubungan akrab dengan para pengajar dan siswa lain. Mereka menyediakan platform untuk berinteraksi dan berbagi pengetahuan. Facebook juga menyediakan fasilitas group untuk para siswa bergabung dan membahas berbagai topik, berkolaborasi dan menggunakan aplikasi pendidikan untuk mengelola aktivitas belajar.

“Ke depannya, institusi pendidikan mungkin perlu mengadopsi metode aktif (namun tetap terkendali) seperti ini untuk memanfaatkan aplikasi jejaring sosial seperti Facebook untuk proses belajar-mengajar,” sebut peneliti.

* No secondary video-call camera

There’s much to question about the Galaxy 5 if you’re a seasoned smartphone user. This isn’t who this phone is for though. It’s a Corby, remember? There are weak spots of course, but calling them deal breakers would be too much. The Samsung Galaxy 5 is for those who take one step at a time. An entry level smartphone for learners, not pros.

Unboxing the I5500 Galaxy 5

The Samsung I5500 Galaxy 5 is a no-frills smartphone with a standard set of accessories. There is a mandatory charger, a microUSB data cable and a one-piece 3.5mm headset. A 1GB microSD card is also supplied.

Design and construction :

Overall, the Galaxy 5 is nearly identical to its Corby siblings. The trademark diagonal contour on the sides makes the phone easily identifiable. The plastic construction certainly helps the Galaxy 5 keep its weight down to the sweet 102 grams. All the surfaces are glossy and fingerprint-prone, That’s especially true for the piano black rear cover.

Still, the phone turned out as quite resistant to scratches in defiance of it sleek front. We liked the ergonomics of all previous phones using the same design and the I5500 Galaxy 5 is no exception. Easy grip, pocket friendly and sleek body – you have to admit it’s easy to like.

The Galaxy 5 2.8" display has QVGA resolution (240 x 320 pixels), which is what low-end Androids typically use. The image quality isn't impressive but that's more or less implied by the price tag. Sunlight legibility is well below standards, the narrow viewing angle the biggest disadvantage. Indoors the screen is quite good though.

Despite the low resolution, Samsung tried to accommodate the Android OS. We have to admit, the interface looks better than expected on the QVGA screen – Samsung as taken the extra pains to smooth the fonts so they look as good as on the higher-resolution phones. Browsing inevitably suffers the most – neither the screen resolution nor the size will let you enjoy web surfing.

Samsung I5500 Galaxy 5 has a capacitive touchscreen, which is very responsive to even the gentlest of taps and sweeps. Unfortunately, there is no multi-touch support here. We guess it’s too much to ask in this price range.

Above the display, there is just the earpiece – no ambient light sensor to optimize the screen brightness. There’s no proximity sensor either. There are too many hardware keys around the D-pad – a hark back to the olden Android days. Alongside the two Call keys on each side of the D-pad, there’s the typical Android set: Menu, Home, Back and Search.

The Call and End keys are integrated into the body of the phone and have a soft but distinct press marked by an audible click. The Android controls are set on rocker-styled buttons that are quite comfortable to use too. A well-sized and tactile D-pad completes the tally. In the absence of a proper shutter key, the D-pad is used for capturing. Doesn’t make much difference anyway, given the fixed focus 2 MP camera.

The right-hand side of the I5500 Galaxy 5 is completely bare. The lanyard eyelet is in the top left corner, followed by the volume rocker in the middle and the microUSB port beneath for connecting a charger or data cable. Traditionally, the connectivity port is covered with a plastic lid.

The top features the 3.5mm audio jack only, which has no protective cap, while the bottom side is absolutely bare, save for a tiny slit to help you remove the battery cover.

At the rear, we find the camera lens at the top end and the loudspeaker grill at the bottom.
The Samsung I5500 Galaxy 5 is first a Corby, and then an Android smartphone. There’s obviously the more subtle choice of color as the Galaxy 5 is targeted at a more mature audience but the styling should still be comfortably familiar to any Corby user. It is a pleasingly compact touchscreen phone and while it's not the slimmest around, the ergonomic design more than makes up for that.

Makanan-makanan Termahal Didunia..!

2011-04-30T23:07:00.016+07:00

Makanan-makanan Termahal Didunia ...
Inilah daftar makanan-makanan dengan harga paling mahal didunia :

10. Kentang seharga 10 Juta Rupiah

Kentang yang ini harganya 10 Juta Rupiah per kilo, jauh diatas harga pasaran kentang yang bisa anda temui di pasar. Kentang La Bonnotte ini adalah varian kentang yang hampir punah dan hanya ditemukan di pulau Noirmoutier, Prancis. Kentang ini mendapat perlakuan istimewa dan hanya boleh dibuahi oleh rumput laut lokal. Tiap tahun hanya tersedi 100 ton kentang ini, dan hanya dapat ditemui di restoran Prancis terkemuka. Mau bikin French Fries?

9. Pizza seharga 37 Juta Rupiah

Pizza Royale 007 memang bukan pizza sembarangan. Untuk pizza yang dibuat oleh ahli, dengan topping caviar yang direndam dalam sampanye, lobster mediterania, dan ditaburi bukan dengan daun basil, tapi daun emas! Kemudian pizza ini disiram dengan cognac Louis XII Rémy Martin seharga 20 Juta Rupiah, dan kemudian dipanggang sempurna dalam pizza oven asli Italia. Untuk hidangan se'mewah' ini, anda harus merogoh kocek sebesar 37 juta rupiah, atau dengan kata lain, anda akan menjual 3 motor baru untuk mendapat pizza yang bisa habis dalam waktu 10 menit saja ini.

8. Koktil seharga 71 Juta Rupiah

Mungkin anda akan lebih suka mabuk karena mendengar harganya daripada minum koktil yang satu ini. “Flawless” Christmas cocktails dari klub malam Movida di London, akan mengurangi kekayaan anda sebesar 71 Juta Rupiah, segelas koktil seharga 5 motor. Kenapa istimewa? Minuman ini dibuat dari campuran Louis XII cognac, Cristal Rose champagne, gula semut, dan angostura bitters, disajikan dengan hiasan daun-daunan dari bahan emas yang aman dimakan. Selain itu, di dasar gelas, anda akan menemukan cincin berlian 11 karat, yang tentunya bukan buat dimakan. Penyajian minuman ini bahkan akan mendapat pengawalan khusus, dan begitu juga pada saat anda menikmatinya, akan mendapat perhatian khusus (mungkin maksudnya agar si cincin tidak pindah ke dalam perut anda)

7. Kopi seharga 10 juta Rupiah

Starbucks saja tidak semahal ini kan? Tapi Kopi Luwak dari negara kita tercinta, yang dikenal di dunia barat dengan nama alias Civet Coffee, dibuat dari buah kopi yang dimakan oleh Luwak (Civet dalam bahasa Inggris). Setelah dimakan, biji kopi ini kemudian dibersihkan, dipanggang, dikemas dan dijual. Memang kesannya menjijikkan, tapi kopi ini luar biasa langka, dan banyak sekali dicari oleh pecinta kopi.

6. Hamburger seharga 5 Juta Rupiah

FleurBurger, yang dibandrol dengan harga 5 Juta Rupiah per porsi ini dihidangkan di Fleur de Lys, Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, di Las Vegas. Daging burger ini dibuat seutuhnya dari daging sapi Kobe, dan dihidangkan bersama dengan foie gras dan saus truffle, dengan roti brioche truffle. Burger super mewah ini dihidangkan dengan sebotol Chateau Petrus 1990. Selain itu, anda akan mendapat sertifikat khusus yang dikirimkan ke rumah Anda sebagai bukti bahwa anda tidak menghabiskan uang 5 juta tadi di meja judi, tapi karena anda makan burger....

5. Minuman Keras seharga 20 Miliar Rupiah

semakin tua anggur,maka rasanya akan terasa semakin enak. Bayangkan sampanye berusia 100 tahun, dengan botol dari 4 kilogram platinum murni, emas 24 karat, dan ditaburi 6.500 keping intan. Nama minuman ini: Henri IV Dudognon Heritage. Minuman ini di simpan selama minimal 1 abad dalam gentog kayu. Sampai sekarang, belum ada orang yang nekat membeli botolnya, apalagi mencicipi minuman ini.

4. Es Krim Coklat seharga 25 Juta Rupiah

Restoran Serendipity 3 di New York benar-benar ambisius untuk membuat makanan penutup ini. Intinya adalah coklat dari 14 negara yang berbeda, diberi emas 23 karat seberat 5 gram, whipped cream yang ditaburi potongan daun emas yang aman dimana, dan disajikan dengan La Madeleine au Truffle. Penyajiannya juga bukan gelas sembarangan, gelas yang digunakan berlapis emas dan terdapat gelang emas yang ditaburi intan 1 karat menyertai penyajian es krim yang bikin kantung kempes ini.

3. Telur Ikan seharga 5 Juta Rupiah

Tentunya anda tahu, terutama bagi penggemar sushi, bagaimana rasa tobiko, tapi kita bukan membicarakan telur ikan ini, kita membicarakan mengenai caviar, yang tentunya, bukan juga caviar biasa, kita membicarakan mengenai Caviar Beluga, yang dikenal dengan nama Caviar Almas di Iran. Caviar ini didapat dari ikan Beluga Sturgeon, yang sudah mulai punah di Laut Kaspia dan Laut Hitam. Cara menikmatinya pun unik, dikatakan bahwa sendok terbaik untuk caviar ini adalah dengan sendok yang dilapisi mutiara.

2. Bumbu seharga 11 Juta Rupiah

Saffron tentunya bukan sekedar bumbu biasa. Dengan harga 11 Juta Rupiah per kilogram, tentunya Anda tidak akan berani membuang sia-sia bumbu dapur satu ini. Bumbu ini dibuat dari bagian bunga tumbuhan saffron crocus yang belum terbuka, dipanen dan dikeringkan secara khusus. 1 Kilogram saffron akan mengandung 200.000 pucuk bunga, dengan kata lain, bunga dari ladang tanaman saffron yang luasnya tiga kali lapangan sepakbola.

1. Jamur seharga 27 Juta Rupiah

Satu kilo jamur ini dapat mencapai harga 60 juta rupiah. Jamur White Truffle ini adalah jamur paling mahal di dunia. Rasanya yang mantap dan 'earthy' merupakan ciri khusus yang tidak dapat ditandingi oleh jamur lain. Jamur ini digunakan dalam ukuran yang sangat kecil (hanya sedikit parutan saja) dalam setiap masakan. Dan masakan yang menghidangkan jamur ini tentunya bukan masakan biasa. Jamur ini hanya bisa ditemui di Piedmont, Italia utara, dan hanya dipanen pada saat musim gugur. Panen-nya pun harus dibantu oleh anjing khusus yang mendapat latihan khusus juga!

AMAZING..BRUNO MARS Video Clips..!

2011-04-30T22:19:00.005+07:00

ABOUT BRUNO MARS ...

Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), better known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer-songwriter and music producer. Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii by a family of musicians, Mars began making music at a young age. After performing in various musical venues in his hometown throughout his childhood, he decided to pursue a musical career and moved to Los Angeles after graduating from high school. Mars began producing songs for other artists, joining production team The Smeezingtons.

After an unsuccessful stint with Motown Records, Mars signed with Atlantic Records in 2009. He became recognized as a solo artist after lending his vocals and co-writing the hooks for the songs "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B, and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy. He also co-wrote the hits "Right Round" by Flo Rida featuring Kesha, "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan, and "Fuck You!" by Cee Lo Green. In October 2010, he released his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. Anchored by the worldwide number one singles "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade", the album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. He was nominated for seven Grammys at the 53rd Grammy Awards, winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Just the Way You Are".

Mars' music is noted for displaying a wide variety of styles and influences, and contains elements of many different musical genres. He has worked with an assortment of artists from different genres; Mars acknowledges the influences that his collaborations have had on his own music. As a child, he was highly influenced by artists such as Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson and would often impersonate these artists from a young age. Mars also incorporates reggae and Motown inspired sounds into his work. Jon Caramanica of The New York Times referred to Mars as "one of the most versatile and accessible singers in pop."

Life and career

1985–2008: Early life and beginnings

Mars was born Peter Gene Hernandez and raised in the Waikiki neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii, by parents Bernadette "Bernie" and Pete Hernandez, of Filipino and Puerto Rican descent. His mother emigrated to Hawaii from the Philippines as a child and his father moved to the island from Brooklyn, New York. Mars' parents met while performing in a show, where his mother was a hula dancer and his father played percussion. At the age of two, he was nicknamed "Bruno" by his father, because of his resemblance to chubby professional wrestler Bruno Sammartino. Mars was one of six children and came from a musical family who exposed him to a diverse mix of reggae, rock, hip hop, and R&B.From a young age, he was impersonating and performing songs by artists such as Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, The Isley Brothers, and The Temptations.[6] At age four, Mars began performing five days a week with his family's band, The Love Notes, in which he became known on the island for his impersonation of Presley.

In 1990, Mars was featured in MidWeek as "Little Elvis", going on to have a cameo in the film Honeymoon in Vegas in 1992. He later reflected on the influence Presley had on his music, saying, "I watch the best. I'm a big fan of Elvis. I'm a big fan of 1950s Elvis when he would go on stage and scare people because he was a force and girls would go nuts! You can say the same thing for Prince or The Police. It's just guys who know that people are here to see a show, so I watch those guys and I love studying them because I'm a fan." In 2010, he also acknowledged his Hawaiian roots and musical family as an influence, saying, "Growing up in Hawaii made me the man I am. I used to do a lot of shows in Hawaii with my father's band. Everybody in my family sings, everyone plays instruments. My uncle's an incredible guitar player, my dad's an incredible percussionist, my brother's a great drummer, he actually plays in our band. I've just been surrounded by it." In 2003, shortly after graduating from President Theodore Roosevelt High School at the age of seventeen, Mars moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue a musical career.He adopted his stage name from the nickname his father gave him, adding "Mars" at the end because "I felt like I didn't have [any] pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I’m out of this world, so I was like I guess I'm from Mars."

Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, Mars signed to Motown Records in 2004, in a deal that "went nowhere". However, Mars' experience with Motown proved to be beneficial to his career when he met songwriter and producer Philip Lawrence, who was also signed to the label. Mars, Lawrence, and engineer Ari Levine began writing songs together, and formed the production team The Smeezingtons. In 2006, Lawrence introduced Mars to his future manager at Atlantic Records, Aaron Bay-Schuck. After hearing him play a couple of songs on the guitar, Bay-Schuck wanted to sign him immediately, but it took about three years for Atlantic records to finally sign Mars to the label. In the meantime, Bay-Schuck hired Mars and the Smeezingtons to write and produce songs for the label's artists. According to Bay-Schuck in an interview with HitQuarters, Mars had stated that although his ultimate goal was to be a solo artist, he was willing to write

and produce for other artists, both to help improve his songwriting and help him discover the type of artist he ultimately wanted to be. Bay-Schuck credits this as a period of "self-discovery" that contributed significantly to Mars' later success.

2009–present: Commercial success and Doo-Wops & Hooligans

Before becoming a successful solo artist, Hernandez was an acknowledged music producer, writing songs for Alexandra Burke, Travie McCoy, Adam Levine, Brandy, Sean Kingston, and Flo Rida. He also co-wrote the Sugababes' hit song "Get Sexy" and provided backing vocals on their album Sweet 7. His first musical appearance as a singer was in Far East Movement's second studio album Animal, featured on the track "3D".[22] He was also featured on pastor and hip hop artist Jaeson Ma's debut single "Love" in August 2009. He reached prominence as a solo artist after being featured on and co-writing B.o.B's "Nothin' on You" and Travie McCoy's "Billionaire";

both songs peaked within the top ten of many charts worldwide. He said of them, "I think those songs weren't meant to be full-sung songs. If I'd sung all of "Nothin' on You", it might've sounded like some '90s R&B." Following this success, Mars released his debut extended play (EP), titled It's Better If You Don't Understand, on May 11, 2010. The EP peaked at the 99th position on the Billboard 200 and produced one single, "The Other Side", featuring singers Cee-Lo Green and B.o.B. Mars collaborated with Green once more in August 2010 by co-writing his single "Fuck You!". He performed a medley of "Nothin' on You" and "Airplanes" with B.o.B and Hayley Williams at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards on September 12, 2010.

Mars' debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, was released digitally on October 4, and saw its physical release on October 5, 2010. The lead single, "Just the Way You Are", was released on July 19, 2010, and has reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 as well as several other charts worldwide. The music video was released on September 8, 2010. The second single, "Grenade", was released September 28, 2010, and has also seen successful international chart performance. In the United States, Doo-Wops & Hooligans debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 for the week of October 13, 2010, selling 55,000 copies. The album also received generally positive reviews from critics. Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblatt praised Mars for his "instant-access melodies" and "sly snatches of dance-floor swagger", but noted weaknesses in songs deviant from his conventional pop and soul genres. He opened for Maroon 5 on the fall leg of the Hands All Over Tour starting October 6, 2010 and co-headlined with McCoy on a European tour starting October 18, 2010.

On September 19, 2010, Mars was arrested in Las Vegas for possession of cocaine. When talking to a police officer, Mars reportedly stated that what he did was "foolish" and that "he has never used drugs before". Mars pled guilty to felony drug possession, and in return for his plea, the charges will be erased from his criminal record as long as he pays a $2,000 fine, does 200 hours of community service and completes a drug counseling course.

Musical style

Mars' music has been noted for displaying a wide variety of styles and influences, including pop, rock, reggae, R&B, soul, and hip hop. Although Mars has been referenced as "soft" because of his penchant for using a falsetto voice, his co-producer Philip Lawrence says, "What people don't know is there's a darker underbelly to Bruno Mars." Mars himself says, "I blame that on me singing to girls back in high school." Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called him "one of the most versatile and accessible singers in pop, with a light, soul-influenced voice that’s an easy fit in a range of styles, a universal donor." Mars was initially influenced by R&B artists such as Keith Sweat, Jodeci and R. Kelly, as well as 1950s rock n roll and Motown.In high school, he began listening to classic rock groups such as The Police, Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles. All of these genres of music have influenced Mars' musical style; he observed that "It’s not easy to [create] songs with that mixture of rock and soul and hip-hop, and there’s only a handful of them." Mars also stated that he is a fan of Alica Keys, Jessie J, Jack White and The Saturdays.

In addition, Mars claims that his work with other artists influenced his musical style, saying that "'Nothing on You' had a Motown vibe, 'Billionaire' was a reggae acoustic guitar-driven song, though one of my favorites is the Cee-Lo [Green] song ['Fuck You!']. I don't think anyone else could've sung that song. And there's 'Just the Way You Are.' If you know my story, you know I love all different genres of music." He cites doo-wop as a major influence on his music, referring to the genre as "just straightforward love songs — so charming and simple and romantic." In addition, Mars states that growing up in Hawaii influenced his music, giving the songs a reggae sound. He explains that "In Hawaii some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley. That music brings people together. It's not urban music or pop music. It's just songs. That's what makes it cross over so well. The song comes first." Lyrically, many of Mars' songs have been described as "feel-good", carefree, and optimistic, however, darker subjects are addressed in songs such as "Grenade", "Liquor Store Blues", and "Talking to the Moon", which detail failed relationships and self-destructive behavior.

VIDEO UNIK "BRUNO MARS"

2011-04-30T22:08:00.007+07:00

TENTANG BRUNO MARS :

Biografi :

1985-2005: Awal Kehidupan

Jangan sangsikan musikalitasnya, karena dia juga berasal dari keluarga yang gemar seni, khususnya musik. Ayahnya, Pete, seorang New Yorker, adalah pemain perkusi. Ibunya, Bernie, berdarah Filipina keturunan “Puerto Rico”, adalah seorang penari hula. Pete dan Bernie memiliki 6 orang anak dan mengenalkan mereka pada berbagai jenis musik, reggae, rock, hip hop, dan R&B. Khusus untuk anaknya yang bernama Peter Gene Hernandez, Pete memanggilnya dengan nama Bruno, berhubung saat berusia 2 tahun, sang bayi bertubuh gempal, mirip dengan pegulat terkenal zaman itu, Bruno Sammartino.

Nama itu yang kemudian dipilihnya sebagai nama panggungnya. Dan ketika memikirkan nama belakang untuk Bruno, dia langsung teringat akan para gadis yang menyebutkan dirinya bukan berasal dari bumi, yang lantas membuatnya terpikir akan Mars. Dan jadilah, Peter Gene Hernandez menjadi Bruno Mars, seperti yang kita kenal sekarang.Dia kelahiran 8 Oktober 1985. Dan dalam 25 tahun kehidupannya, hampir apa saja sudah dilakukannya dalam rangka mengasah kemampuan bermusiknya. Dari usia muda, dia sudah tampil meniru dan menyanyikan lagu-lagu Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, The Isley Brothers, dan The Temptations. Saat usia sekolah, dia memperdalam kegemarannya terhadap Elvis, sekaligus memperluas pengetahuan musiknya lewat Prince dan The Police.

2006-2008 : Awal Karir

Usai menyelesaikan sekolahnya, dirinya pun hijrah ke Los Angeles untuk mewujudkan American Dream-nya. Dan Dewi Fortuna berpihak padanya, saat tahun 2006 lalu dirinya berkenalan dengan Aaron Bay Schuck, yang kemudian menjadi manajernya dan menawari kontrak di bawah nauangan “Atlantic Records”. Bruno Mars berada dalam jalur yang tepat menuju kesuksesan!

Apa yang harus ia lakukan sebagai langkah awal mencapai cita-citanya dalam industri ini? Tidak serta merta menjadi penyanyi, Bruno memulai dengan menulis lagu untuk penyanyi lain. Di muncul di credit untuk album Alexandra Burke (’Perfect’ from “Overcome”), Travie McCoy (”We’ll Be Alright’ from “Lazarus”), Brandy (’Long Distance’ from “Human”), empat buah lagu untuk album “Tomorrow” milik Sean Kingston, juga mega hit Right Round dari album “ROOTS” oleh Flo Rida. He’s the bomb. Dan kalau itu semua belum cukup, dirinya juga menyumbangkan karyanya untuk album Sugababes yang berjudul “Sweet 7″, adalah single “Get Sexy” yang merupakan karya terakhir girlband tersebut dengan seorang original member di dalamnya, “Keisha Buchanan”. Bruno pun mulai menjalal kemampuan vokalnya dengan menyediakan vokal latar di lagu tersebut. Selain itu, bersama “Philip Lawrence” dan “Ari Levine” dibentuklah trio “The Smeezingtons” yang memproduseri sebagian besar dari karya tulis Bruno.

2009-sekarang: Doo-wops & Hooligans

Semakin PD dengan kemampuannya di balik layar, mengapa tidak muncul sebagai vokal tamu. Maka dimulailah kemunculan nama Bruno Mars sebagai guest appearance untuk album “Far East Movement” “Animal” di lagu ‘3D’, dan juga debut “Jaeson Ma” ‘Love’. Menang, ini masih kurang mengangkat kepopuleran Bruno ke permukaan, tapi selanjutnya, tidak ada yang bisa menghentikannya. Kita pertama tau dirinya dan vokalnya yang kuat dan seksi dari single nomor 1 “B.o.B”, Nothin’ On You juga solo debut Travie McCoy ‘Billionaire’. Kita dibuat lebih tertarik padanya ketimbang pada penyaji utama kedua single tersebut. Dan ini semua cukup untuk menjadi landasan yang kuat untuk tampil sendiri. Just The Way You Are pun diluncurkan pada pertengahan tahun lalu. Dan hasilnya bigger than ever. Jadi juara di berbagai tangga lagu di berbagai belahan dunia. Lagu ini memiliki chorus yang dahsyat, melodi dan lirik yang memorable, dan menampilkan yang terbaik dari Bruno Mars. “”He’s on the way to top and there’s no sign of stopping!””

Untuk Grammy Awards tahun ini, kita dibuat tercengang dengan munculnya Bruno Mars dalam 6 kategori. “Best Rap Song, Best Rap/Sung Collaboration”, dan “Record Of The Year” untuk ‘Nothin’ On You’, “Record Of The Year” dan “Song Of The Year” untuk ‘F–k You’ yang dinyanyikan oleh Cee-Lo Green, “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance” untuk Just The Way You Are, dan “Producer Of The Year Non-classical” untuk trio The Smeezingtons. Ini bisa jadi menambah koleksi penghargaan yang diraihnya, setelah sebelumnya menyabet Soul Train Music Awards. Album debutnya “Doo-wops & Hooligans” yang berisi 12 track pun dirilis pada akhir Januari 2011 ini di Indonesia. Dan dalam menyambut kemeriahana tas kesuksesan pria seksi 25 tahun ini, CreativeDisc memilihnya sebagai sorotan selama sebulan penuh dalam Artist Of The Month! Single keduanya “Grenade” pun enggak kalah sukses. Jadi nomor 1 di berbagai tangga lagu di berbagai negara di Eropa, Australia, Asia, dan Amerika. We don’t have to think too much of where that voice coming from, cause we’re here to enjoy the month of love with his singing! It’s Bruno Mars!!!

Apple iPhone 4 review

2011-04-29T15:38:00.020+07:00

By Joshua Topolsky

The iPhone 4 is no small thing to review. As most readers of Engadget are well aware, in the gadget world a new piece of Apple hardware is a major event, preceded by rumors, speculation, an over-the-top announcement, and finally days, weeks, or months of anticipation from an ever-widening fan base.

The iPhone 4 is certainly no exception -- in fact, it may be Apple's most successful launch yet, despite some bumps on the road. We've already seen Apple and AT&T's servers overloaded on the first day of pre-orders, the ship date for the next set of phones pushed back due to high demand, and die-hard fans in line outside of Apple locations a week before the phone is actually available. It's a lot to live up to, and the iPhone 4 is doing its best -- with features like a super-fast A4 CPU, a new front-facing camera and five megapixel shooter on the back, a completely new industrial design, and that outrageous Retina Display, no one would argue that Apple has been asleep at the wheel.

So the question turns to whether or not the iPhone 4 can live up to the intense hype. Can it deliver on the promises Steve Jobs made at WWDC, and can it cement Apple's position in the marketplace in the face of mounting competition from the likes of Google and Microsoft? We have the answers to those questions -- and many more -- in our full review, so read on to find out!

Hardware :

Perhaps the most notable change with the new iPhone is the drastic industrial design overhaul -- Apple seems to have completely rethought its strategy on how the phone should look and feel, and the results are nothing if not striking.

Industrial design :

In his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs likened the design of the iPhone 4 to that of a "beautiful, old Leica camera," and as we've said before, he wasn't off the mark. Instead of hewing to the curved, plasticky, silver-bezeled look of the iPhone 3G and 3GS, the company has turned the casing and face of the device into something decidedly more detailed and sophisticated. From the design aesthetic through to the actual build process, Jony Ive and his team have reset what we expect in an iPhone, coming up with something that clearly harkens back to the retro-future Braun designs of Dieter Rams. The iPhone 4 is made up of three basic parts: two pieces of smooth, strengthened glass, and a stainless steel band which wraps around the sides, top, and bottom of the phone.

The effect is clean but not simple, and Apple has added little details, like altered volume buttons (what used to be a rocker is now separated into circular clickers labeled + and -), and notches in that metal band which serve to improve radio connections (more on that in a minute). The phone is noticeably thinner than the 3GS at .37 inches compared to .48 inches, but it weighs the same 4.8 ounces, making the whole package seem tighter and denser. It feels great in your hand, with good heft, although it might take a little time to get used to the lack of a rounded back if you're coming from the 3G or 3GS.

We can't overstate how high-end the design of the iPhone 4 is. The 3GS now feels cheap and chubby by comparison, and even a phone like the HTC Droid Incredible -- which just came out -- seems last-generation.

As we said, there are three main pieces of the phone, which together create an effect not wildly dissimilar to that of an ice cream sandwich. You know, but far pricier... and not edible. The face of the device is made up of extremely strong glass which Jony Ive says is "comparable in strength to sapphire crystal, but about 30 times harder than plastic." A small slit for the earpiece and the front-facing camera are embedded in the glass above the display, with the familiar home button towards the bottom -- a button we should note feels much clickier than on our 3GS.

On the left side of the phone you've got the new volume buttons, a redesigned mute switch, and a small notch towards the base of the unit. On the right side is the Micro SIM slot and another notch in the band at the bottom, and up top there's the power / sleep button, headphone jack, another notch, and new noise-canceling microphone. Along the bottom is a speaker, microphone, and the 30-pin dock connector port. The backside of the phone is made from the same kind of ultra-strong glass as the front, interrupted only by the new five megapixel camera, its LED flash companion and, of course, the Apple logo.

Overall, the iPhone 4 outclasses pretty much every smartphone on the market in terms of industrial design. It just comes off like a far more expensive device, like a Mobiado or Vertu -- but better designed. And it's not just the way the phone looks; the materials feel good -- premium -- in your hands. The first few days we had our test unit, we were definitely freaked out about dropping or losing the phone, and some of that had to do with the fact that it's just a really beautiful device to use and hold.

Internals :

It's not just the face of the phone that's undergone a transformation -- the iPhone 4 is all new inside as well. For starters, Apple has moved on from the Samsung-built ARM Cortex-A8-based CPU used in the 3GS to its custom A4 chip used in the iPad, which funnily enough... is an ARM Cortex-A8-based CPU. While the company hasn't yet said what the clock speed of the processor is, we're guessing it's something below the 1GHz touted for its tablet cousin. The phone is definitely snappier than the 3GS, so we're not about to volley complaints just yet -- in particular, graphics seemed to render faster, and overall responsiveness was slightly higher, though admittedly, it wasn't blowing the doors off the joint. It's certainly faster, but the 3GS wasn't hurting on speed to our eyes, so it's not as wildly noticeable a leap as the 3G to the 3GS.

As usual, Apple isn't fessing up about the RAM situation, though we have on very good authority that the iPhone 4 has 512MB onboard, a big step up from the 256MB in the previous model and the iPad. We would have liked to see it futureproofed with something like 1GB, but then again, Apple's got to sell a new phone in a year. As far as internal storage goes, you can buy the new iPhone in either 16GB ($199 on contract) or 32GB ($299 on contract) capacity -- fine for now, but since the company has just introduced 30FPS 720p video recording, you could find yourself outgrowing that number pretty quickly. It's a little odd, in fact, that the company didn't double down here and bump the capacity to 64GB, as it's recently done with the iPod touch. In terms of wireless, the iPhone 4 is packed with an 802.11n WiFi radio, as well as a quad-band HSUPA chip and Bluetooth 2.1.

The redesigned housing allows for a much larger lithium-ion battery on the inside, providing improved numbers for Apple's life ratings (more on that in a moment), though it's still not easily replaceable. Additionally, the new phone has those two new cameras (VGA up front, five megapixels with LED flash around back), a new second microphone used to combat background noise while on calls (similar to the Nexus One), a gyroscope in addition to the standard accelerometer, a light sensor, and a proximity sensor. As with the 3GS, an AGPS chip and compass are bundled somewhere in that tiny frame as well.

Of course, the big internal story is what has become external: namely, the UMTS, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth antennas. Apple has made the stainless band around the phone essentially a couple of big antennae, and they seem to be doing a pretty good job at hanging onto radio signals. The big question is obviously whether or not this fixes or helps with the constant dropped calls iPhone users on AT&T's network have gotten used to. Well in our testing, we had far, far fewer dropped calls than we experienced on our 3GS. Let's just say that again: yes, the iPhone 4 does seem to alleviate the dropped call issue. It wasn't perfect, and we had some connection issues in downtown New York City in particular, though it's tough to say if it was the fault of our phone, the cluster of buildings we were near, or the person we were speaking to, who was on a 3GS in the same location.

Display :

By now you should know that iPhone 4 has an all-new display, as well. Apple is calling the LED backlit, 960 x 640 IPS screen the "Retina Display" due to its high resolution and pixel density. At the same 3.5-inches as the older screens, the new display manages an insane 326ppi pixel density along with an 800:1 contrast ratio. Steve made a huge point about the science behind this technology during his keynote, claiming that the resolution of the screen essentially tops what is perceivable by the human eye. There have been some debates as to whether or not this argument holds water, but we can tell you this: to our eyes, there has never been a more detailed, clear, or viewable screen on any mobile device.

Not only are the colors and blacks deep and rich, but you simply cannot see pixels on the screen. Okay, if you take some macro camera shots or get right up in there you can make them out, but in general use, the screen is free of jaggies of any type, unless you're looking at a last-gen app that hasn't had its artwork updated. Text rendering is incredibly clear and clean -- webpages that would be line after line of pixelated content when zoomed out on a 3GS (say, Engadget or the New York Times) are completely readable on the iPhone 4, though the text is beyond microscopic. It's impressive, and doubly impressive when you look at higher-res graphics or watch 720p video on the phone -- the detail in moving images is particularly striking. What's nice is that most apps with text in them will benefit from this tech whether or not they've been updated, as long as they're using Apple's font rendering. Text in the Engadget app, for instance, looks cleaner, clearer, and much easier to read on the new iPhone.

Nexus One up top, iPhone 4 below

Because Apple is using IPS and LED technology for its screen, the iPhone 4 is mercifully visible in full sunlight, and performance in low light and at extreme viewing angles are favorable. Overall, you simply won't find a better display on a phone, and that's not just lip service.

Cameras :

The cameras on the new iPhone are going to be a topic of much debate, since this has been an area where Apple has been slow to innovate. The 3GS sported a measly three megapixel shooter with few bells and whistles (and no flash), and while it was fine for quick snaps, it wasn't an artist's tool by any means. The company finally seems to be listening to a public that's interested in leaving the point-and-shoot at home in favor of a phone with a capable camera, by adding a five megapixel shooter to the backside of the iPhone 4 and a VGA camera up front.

Let's first take a look at the higher-res main camera. At his WWDC keynote, Jobs said that getting great looking images wasn't just about upping the camera's megapixels, but had more to do with grabbing more photons. Increase the photon count, let more light in, and your images will look better, the thought goes. So Apple's using a newer backside-illuminated sensor that's more sensitive to light in addition to upping those megapixels -- and we must say, pictures on the iPhone 4 look stunning. Our shots looked good right out of the gate, with few problems when it came to focusing or low light. With the flash on, we managed decent if somewhat blown out results (fairly common with smaller LED flashes) though impressively, the iPhone 4 was usually able to take completely useable and even handsome photos in fairly low light without the flash. It seems like that photon situation is definitely in play, because even shots taken in fairly dark lighting came out looking good. Autofocus worked well in most situations, and we were actually able to get some impressive looking macro shots (see the flowers and Penny below).

In general, we'd have no trouble using the iPhone 4's camera as a stand-in for a dedicated camera. Not only did it take beautiful shots, but the A4 and iOS 4 combo have considerably sped up the time it takes to snap pictures -- it's now almost instantaneous. Otherwise, you have options for a 5x digital zoom (which produces results that look like a digital zoom) and basic on / off / auto settings for the flash. It's pretty bare bones, and we wouldn't have minded a few basic options like white balance settings -- but c'mon, this is Apple we're talking about. Luckily, the App Store is chock full of applications that improve upon the stock camera app -- we expect to see a handful of new ones that take advantage of the new sensor soon.

As far as video goes, we were definitely impressed by the 720p capture, though there are stability issues with the lens and the all-too-familiar "jellyvision" CMOS issues that tend to rear their head if you're not holding the phone very steady. Still, we can't see carrying around a Flip HD instead of just keeping this in our pocket (though as we said, we'd like to see a higher storage capacity). Everything we shot looked crisp and mostly artifact-free, and we didn't see any hiccups in the 30 FPS rate Apple claims, even in lower light. Adding iMovie to the mix for on-the-fly editing is a nice touch too (more on that in the software section). The video below was shot and edited completely in-phone, so enjoy --

Around front, the VGA camera is... well, a VGA camera. It actually does a fine job of capturing your face during video calls, and worked surprisingly well in low light, but it's not going to win any prizes for being the most advanced shooter on a handset. It does provide for some interesting angle options when it comes to video shooting, and we expect a lot of people will be taking advantage of the weirdly video game-like perspective. All in all, it looks good, but it's pretty utilitarian.

Speaker / earpiece :

We've never had a particular problem with the speaker or earpiece on previous iPhones (well, the speakerphone has never been loud enough for our taste), but it's obvious that Apple has done some work on getting both call quality and speakerphone quality up. Beyond making the phone considerably and consistently louder in both places, the clarity of the iPhone 4 is noticeably improved from the previous generation. If you read our review, then you know that we thought Motorola's original Droid had some of the best sounding components we've heard on a phone, and the new iPhone definitely gives them a run for the money. The first time we took a call on the device we were walking down New York's extremely noisy Fifth Avenue, and right away it was obvious that the secondary, noise-canceling mic was doing some heavy lifting, at least on the other end of the line. Even though sirens were wailing behind us and we were surrounded by chatty shoppers, it was easy to hear our party on the other end, and they could hear us perfectly (unless we were lied to). There's clearly a difference between the sound in the earpiece on the new phone versus the 3GS, and it ranks highly against newer competition like the EVO. As far as the speakerphone goes, it gets loud without distorting or producing cutting midrange, a problem we've noticed on quite a few recent phones. We'd liken the iPhone 4 in quality to something along the lines of the BlackBerry Bold -- a bearable tone even when it gets hot.

Software :

As with the other revisions to Apple's phone line, the hardware is only half of the story. Along with the iPhone 4 comes iOS 4, the re-branded iPhone OS which boasts loads of new features, most notably a very Apple-ized version of smartphone multitasking, a video calling feature dubbed FaceTime, folders so you can organize your apps, enhanced Mail, and lots of other nips and tucks -- both big and small -- that refine the company's growing operating system. Additionally, Apple has ported the iPad's iBooks to the smaller screen, and has created a new version of its popular iMovie just for the iPhone 4. Overall, the OS is still very much the same as it's always been, but there are some big changes here that bear investigation.

Multitasking :

This is a big one, and more than just a little controversial. Since the dawn of apps for the iPhone (remember, way back in 2008?), people have been up in arms about the lack of third-party backgrounding for applications. Sure, you could keep Mail, Safari, iPod, and a few other Apple programs cranking while you used your phone, but those privileges were strictly off limits for third-party devs working on the device. It's arguable that one of the driving forces behind the jailbreaking movement was a desire for this feature -- something a phone as powerful as the iPhone was clearly capable of. Apple's argument has always been that multitasking causes an undue amount of battery drain from phones, and had to be approached with caution, lest we all end up with juiceless phones at high noon. Recently, however, that tune has changed. Apple has -- in true Apple fashion -- "figured out" how to "do multitasking right" -- namely, the company isn't allowing full backgrounding as much as it's allowing a handful of APIs that mimic backgrounding. Things like holding onto a GPS signal, letting music play in the background, staying connected to VoIP calls (or receiving them), and fast switching (basically a way for you to return quickly to exactly where you left off in an app).

So, does Apple pull it off? Can this scarce handful of APIs makeup for true backgrounding? In a word: yep.

Here's the thing -- this may not be "true" multitasking for a lot of us, but it amounts to multitasking for most of us. That is, it looks, feels, and acts like multitasking, so it's pretty tough to complain about it. In fact: we're not going to complain about it, especially given the fact that some of our favorite apps -- the IRC client Colloquy being one of them -- do just about exactly what we need them to do, all according to Apple's rules and regulations. Previous to the new OS, we'd been jailbreaking our phone just to keep an IRC session running in the background. Now, utilizing some of those new APIs, the Colloquy developers have created an elegant and useful solution that pleases both users and the Cupertino Cops. The point is: it works, it does so bug free, and without a major drain on battery life (quite the contrary... more on that in a moment). We're not saying we liked waiting for this kind of thing to come around, and yes, we'd prefer something more open and flexible -- but this works, and works well.

So how is Apple making this magic happen? Here's a breakdown of just exactly what multitasking really means (and feels like) on the new iPhone (and the 3GS):

* Fast app switching: You know how you can leave off in Mail halfway through writing a response and go back to exactly where you were? Well that happens everywhere now. When you leave the app, you go back in exactly the same place. And it happens quickly. Fast app switching is essentially like toggling between "paused" applications. This combined with Apple's new app switcher (double tap the home button to bring up your most recently used apps) destroys that annoying iPhone feeling of going in and out and in and out. It just doesn't exist anymore, provided all your apps are up to date, which is going to take some time. It's amazing how much this single feature counts -- it's definitely one of the prime movers here, and it's so simple it's stupid. We would have liked to see options for "favorite" apps or some way to prioritize what you're switching to, but once you get used to this system -- which just puts whatever you've used most recently to the far left -- it makes some sense.

* Task completion: Basically, task completion lets an app do its thing even if you leave it. So if you're uploading or downloading a picture in Evernote or Dropbox, or saving an article in the New York Times app, even if you navigate away, the job is done when you get back to the app. This accounts for a lot of what we think of as multitasking. Most of your apps are just idling -- it's only when you interact with them that it counts. We don't know the boundaries for this API, though it seems to leave a lot of room for creative use. We know it's not just big jobs, it's little ones too -- Colloquy uses this feature to keep you connected to your IRC host. To be honest, that kind of behavior is one thing we thought we wouldn't see in iOS 4, and here it is. Hopefully Twitter app devs and other instant messaging clients will utilize the API in a similar manner.

* Background audio and VoIP: These two are straightforward. The first allows for music playing apps to keep their stream running in the background (and even gives them little widget controls in the app switcher), and the second allows VoIP connections to stay active. That means you can stay on a Skype call and go check your mail, but it also means that the VoIP connection will be aware of incoming calls when you're not actively using an app. Additionally, this API can be used to allow for recording even if you exit an app, as demonstrated effectively in the new version of Evernote.

* Background GPS: Basically, GPS apps can keep running in the background... for obvious reasons. This one will drain your battery if you're not docked -- but who's using a GPS app and not plugging that thing in? Okay, we might be a little guilty of that. Regardless, this will keep your navigation software afloat if you have to take a call, and apparently will let GPS-centric apps like FourSquare check in even if you're not running it in the foreground.

Apple combines these heavy hitters with more familiar tricks, like push notifications, to excellent effect. We know that the hardcore users will cry foul because a lot of this doesn't amount to "true" multitasking, but we also know that often solutions to problems come in different colors. Apple found a way in iOS 4 to solve a pretty good amount of its major problems in this department, and so far what we've seen is very promising. If it's only going to get better from here, we don't mind coming along for the ride. But it better only get better, Apple.

FaceTime :

If you didn't know anything about video calling, Apple would definitely have you convinced that they just up and invented the concept based on never-aired Jetsons footage judged too futuristic for TV. Of course, the truth is that in lots of other places (and even in the US to an extent), smartphone video calling isn't exactly a new thing. In fact, in much of Europe and Asia, this technology is old hat. But Apple isn't going to let a little thing like facts get in the way of a good marketing play, and in their (slight) defense, no one's effectively brought video calling to the masses just yet. (One of our European editors says that he's gone ten years without seeing anyone make a video call in his neck of the woods.) While this may be an unscientific perspective, it suggests that it's not enough to just have the tech -- the feature needs to be sold to people.

So has Apple done it? Maybe, and maybe not. We're certainly impressed by the concept and Apple's willingness to open up their "FaceTime standard" to anyone who wants to get in on the party. That means that developers on any platform -- provided they can meet all the necessary requirements -- can create applications that talk via the protocol (or set of protocols, really). We're also impressed with the tech itself, which feels polished and slick out of the gate. But right now, there's only one way to do FaceTime calls, and that's via the iPhone 4... and only over WiFi, which means that the opportunity to make these calls is pretty limited for now. Additionally, in our testing, we found that you really need to have a good, strong, nearby WiFi signal to hang onto a connection. More than once we had video freeze on us, and we had one fully dropped call because someone went out of the WiFi range, but hey... you need to be in range for even the most basic tasks, so we can't fault Apple too much for that. It does seem clear that the iPhone video chats are moving quite a few bits around, however. What's nice about FaceTime is that unlike Qik or other third-party options for something like the EVO, there's no setup here and it's completely integrated into the dialer of the phone -- meaning the only hangup is whether or not you have decent WiFi.

But what is it like? Well in truth, it's actually a teensy bit amazing. Yes, we're a little numb to the PR speak about how game changing it is, but there's still something deeply sci-fi about dialing up a friend and being able to hold this thing in your hand and have a video chat. We did a call with Apple's Greg Joswiak while he was in Paris (see the image above), and when he walked outside and flipped the camera to show us the Eiffel Tower, it was a legitimately weird experience -- a "you are there" moment. As you can see in the call below with USA Today's Ed Baig ,it's a pretty new way to talk to someone, at least for us. Having a random face-to-face conversation with a kid about what he's having for lunch is just the tip of the iceberg -- we can definitely see this feature coming into play in all sorts of ways in our lives.

Technically speaking, actually making calls is straightforward; you can switch to a FaceTime chat while you're already connected, or you're given to option to launch right into a FaceTime connection. We were a little surprised by the fact that you can only mute the audio on your calls; if you want the video off, you need to cover the lens in the old fashioned way -- with your hands.

All said, it's a fascinating inclusion, and we've got a sneaking suspicion that Apple intends to do more than just basic calls with this. Obviously the addition of conference FaceTime sessions would be huge, and we're also looking forward to using the function on a 3G network -- it's nice to have a chat from your house, but what would really be great is taking these kinds of conversations out into the wide world. We think that coupled with active development for clients on lots of platforms (not just the iPhone) will make FaceTime much more interesting -- it's a curiosity right now, but it could be something else entirely with a little time and elbow grease.

Folders :

What can you really say about folders? Basically: it's about time. We're happy that Apple has seen the light and included something like this in iOS 4, and the implementation is elegant enough, but it would have been nice to store more than 12 items at a time. As it stands, if you have a lot of one kind of app, you're going to end up with a group of folders in the same category. We have a second "Games" folder, but some of you out there will have more like six or seven of those. That helps the problem, but doesn't solve it completely. We get why Apple made this decision -- likely a desire to keep it simple -- but it would be nice to be able to make the room if you wanted it.

Mail improvements :

For a lot of us, the new tweaks to the iPhone's Mail app have seriously been a long time coming. Among the major improvements in iOS 4 are a unified inbox and threaded messaging (finally!) -- both of which have made dealing with email on the iPhone a considerably more enjoyable experience. We still think that the mail client is lacking in comparison to Gmail, but that has more to do with our addiction to Gmail than anything else, we suspect. Overall, Mail feels much more complete now, and Apple has solved the same problem in Mail that it had with app switching -- that feeling of constantly jumping into and out of your inboxes.

iBooks / iMovie :

This isn't a barnstormer, but it's a nice inclusion. If you've used iBooks for the iPad, the experience is about the same... just smaller. There's not a ton to say about it, except that in addition to lots of other great book apps on the iPhone, Apple has now given you its own. We still don't think it stacks up to Amazon or Barnes & Noble in terms of selection, though the presentation is better in many ways, and it will sync your notes and bookmarks across platforms.

iMovie, on the other hand, is something new entirely. We can't say we didn't see this one coming since Apple just added video recording and editing to its arsenal with the introduction of iPhone OS 3 and the 3GS -- but this takes things one step further. The $4.99 app gives you access to more advanced features, like a (very) limited selection of transitions between clips, the option to add audio to your videos, plus a handful of themes and titling effects. We found it to be extremely capable for fast edits, though everything is pretty sandboxed here, so while you do have the most basic editing tools, things like splitting a clip can be a little bit of a hassle. Since you can only edit the beginning and end of a snippet, if you want to split something into multiple parts you have to drag the clip into your edit repeatedly and then scale the start and finish points for each one. It can be a pain if you're doing lots of jump cuts -- though we don't expect everyone to be making the next Casino on this thing... though, someone probably will, right? For a few bucks, it's definitely worth having, and we expect that after a few people start using the thing, Apple might be prompted to add a few more options.

What's not in the new OS :

It's not all wine and roses as far as we're concerned. While Apple has made huge strides in many areas here, this wouldn't be an Engadget review if we didn't have our nitpicks. In particular, we still cannot understand or accept the company's approach to notifications. We're at version 4 of this OS, and we're still plagued by these intrusive, productivity-freezing alerts. If you're as busy as we are, then you know what it's like to get invite after invite for your calendar, text messages, and push notifications that just stall the phone out. While every other modern OS-maker has figured out an elegant way to deal with notifications (including the forthcoming Windows Phone 7), Apple clings to this broken system. Why? We can't really say. We find it hard to believe that there aren't folks in Cupertino who feel the way we do -- in fact, we're sure of it. Maybe that explains the hiring of Palm's "notification guru" Rich Dellinger. We sure hope!

The other thing that's driving us crazy is the lack of widgets. Apple almost gets there with its new extensible music player controls, but there are still no good solutions for glanceable information on the iPhone. We'll admit that it's better now that fast app switching is in play, but we'd still like that weather icon to actually show us the temperature where we live. Is that too much to ask? The competition seems to have this one licked -- we'd really like to see Apple take a stab at it.

Accessories :

It wouldn't be a new iPhone without some accessories, but Apple has kept it tidy. The company is offering a new dock, of course, for twenty-nine of your US dollars (that's $29), and a selection of colorful "bumpers" that protect the phone for the same price. We've got a few bumpers in-house, and while we're not really big fans of the way they look or feel, they do seem to protect the phone pretty well. On that note, we've actually seen the iPhone 4 tossed with and without a bumper across a room (one hit a wall) with no issue, and we dropped ours pretty hard from about two feet up onto tile with nary a scratch.

Battery life :

This is a big one for many people, and we have some fairly surprising news to report. The battery life on the iPhone 4 has been outstanding thus far, exceeding our expectations for longevity during testing. We've only had a short time to use the phone, but in the week or so we've been carrying the device as our main phone, we've had pretty amazing results under normal to heavy use. In fact, we managed to squeeze more than 38 hours -- yes, 38 hours -- of life out of a single charge using the phone as we normally would. We're talking calls, some gaming, lots of push email and calendar invites, playing music over Bluetooth in the car, and just general testing (like downloading new apps, rearranging icons, tweaking settings). We went from 10:30AM on a Saturday morning till 1:00AM on Monday without needing to charge the phone. Of course, it switched itself off just after the clock struck 1, but it was thrilling -- like that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer and the car salesman see how far they can get in a car with the tank on E. Sitcom references aside, the battery life seems markedly improved in the iPhone 4, and why not? It's got a much larger battery coupled with that iPad-powering A4, which has already shown that it can sip rather than gulp power.

Once the rest of the team has their iPhones in hand, we'll do some hardcore battery life testing and see what we come up with, but we think under pretty active use, the iPhone 4 blows Apple's previous generation phone out of the water, and makes a lot of the competition look downright needy.

Wrap-up :

We're not going to beat around the bush -- in our approximation, the iPhone 4 is the best smartphone on the market right now. The combination of gorgeous new hardware, that amazing display, upgraded cameras, and major improvements to the operating system make this an extremely formidable package. Yes, there are still pain points that we want to see Apple fix, and yes, there are some amazing alternatives to the iPhone 4 out there. But when it comes to the total package -- fit and finish in both software and hardware, performance, app selection, and all of the little details that make a device like this what it is -- we think it's the cream of the current crop. We won't argue that a lot of this is a matter of taste -- some people will just prefer the way Android or Symbian works to the iPhone, and others will be on the lookout for a hardware keyboard or a particular asset that the iPhone 4 lacks -- but in terms of the total picture, it's tough to deny that Apple has moved one step past the competition with this phone. Of course, in the hyper-accelerated smartphone market where the Next Big Thing seems to always be just around the corner, it's anyone's guess how long they keep that edge.
