Leaves are the most important organ for the plant in the hold of his life because plants are obligateautotrophs organism, it must supply its own energy needs through the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
Leaf shape is very diverse, but usually in the form of strands, can be thin or thick.Two-dimensional picture of the leaves are used as modifiers for forms of leaves. Leaf baserounded shape, with variations lobe menjari or become elliptical and elongated. Extremeforms can be tapered length.

Fig. 1. Leaves ceplukan (Physalis). Leaves can be penetrated by the light so thatphotosynthesis can take place.
The leaves can also be a thorn to modification (eg cactus), and the result leaves losetheir function as photosynthetic organs. Leaf succulent plants or xerofit can also undergothe transition function into a water storage organ.

Fig. 2. Fresh leaves (left) and old. Older leaves have lost their chlorophyll as part of aging.
The green color in leaves derived from the content of chlorophyll in the leaves.Chlorophyll is the pigment compounds that play a role in selecting the wavelength of lightenergy captured in photosynthesis. Actually, the leaves also have other pigments, such ascarotenoids (orange), xantofil (yellow), and anthocyanins (red, blue, or purple, depending on the degree of acidity). Old leaves lose the chlorophyll so that the color changed toyellow or red (can be seen clearly on the leaves that fall).

C. Leaf anatomy

The epidermis is divided into upper epidermis and lower epidermis. The epidermis serves to protect the underlying tissue.Palisade tissue or tissue mast is a network that serves as the site of photosynthesisSpongy tissue or tissue sponges are hollow. This network serves as a place to store food reserves.Beam transport vessel which consists of xylem or phloem vessels or vessels of wood and filters. Xylem functions to transport water and salts absorbed from the soil the roots to the leaves (to be used as an ingredient of photosynthesis). While phloem function to transport of photosynthesis throughout the plant body.Stoma (plural: stomata) serves as an organ of respiration. Stoma take CO2 from the air to be used as photosynthesis. Then the stoma will be issued as a result of photosynthetic O2. Stoma is like our nose where the stoma take CO2 from the air and release O2, while the nose to take O2 and release CO2. Bottom of the stoma is located in the epidermis. In addition to the stoma, higher plants also respire through lenticels which is located on the trunk.
Leaf is a modification of the stem, is part of a plant that contains chlorophyll that most activities take place at most photosynthesis in the leaves.
Leaf anatomy can be divided into 3 sections:
1. Epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of leaves, no upper epidermis and lower epidermis, to prevent evaporation that is too large, the epidermal layer is coated by a layer of cuticle. In the epidermis therestoma / mouth leaves, the stoma is useful for the venue gas exchange into and out of a plant.
2. Parenchyma / mesophyll. Leaf parenchyma cells consist of two layers, namely the palisade (fence network) and sponges (sponge tissue), both contain chloroplasts. Rail network cells are tightly sponge tissue cells loosely, so that there are still spaces between cells. Photosynthetic activity is more active on the network fence because kloroplastnya more than the sponge tissue.
3. Network of vessels. Vascular tissue of leaves is a continuation of the stem tissue, bone contained in the leaves and leaf veins.

D. Leaf litter and Environmental Issues

Waste that is produced in integrated wildlife through natural recycling processes, likedead leaves in the woods that break down into soil. Outside of wild life, this waste can be a problem, such as dead leaves in the neighborhood.

The statue was wearing a pair of Java, in a squatting position. Anatomy of the tapering body, and bright colors. I immediately fell in love, and think that this statue must be handmade topnotch artists. Although somewhat expensive, the statue I Boyong home (of course after paying ... hehe) and I put in front stairs into the house. It fits perfectly as a 'greeter guests' who come to my house. A few weeks later, I look for flower pots into Kasongan, contained pottery industry center in Bantul. Kasongan can be achieved approximately 10 minutes drive from Corner Beteng Kulon, which is one corner of the Kraton Yogyakarta (please see: Visit the Palace Yuuk ...). And, Olala ... I was amazed to see Kasongan already very much changed from the existing Kasongan in my memory.

Now, woooww .... all craft products can be found there. From traditional-ethnic, until the modern-artistic. From that made clay, until the use of stone, wood, rattan, coconut coir, egg shells, feathers, and various other materials. In Kasongan Anyway, I found dozens, even hundreds of male and female pair of statues such as Java, which I bought with expensive price at the store. The statue is called "Loro Blonyo".

Apart from Loro Blonyo, which is a stylization or a symbol of conjugal harmony, variations in pottery products Kasongan very much. Pots and a variety of different sizes. place lamps, urns, vases, even tables and benches for the patio. To be durable pots, not quickly faded and moldy, you should not directly enter the soil and plants into the pot, but coat the inside with plastic pots. Because the pots are made of porous clay, then if directly associated with moist soil, will be easy to mold.

There are pottery products made from white clay, the result is more subtle and beautiful. Finishing with glasuur or paint dof give a different impression, but equally impressive. Some products in the form of lamp holder and jar with calligraphy and beautiful flowers can be achieved in various attractive designs.

In a blend of black and white, the jars on top of not less interesting. Each design is made only one fruit, so that it becomes an exclusive collection.

Stone is also a material that can be processed into a variety of beautiful goods. Making a statue is one of the skills of our ancestors, that legacy can be found at archaeological sites. In Kasongan we can also find many statues, like the Buddha's head, full of statues of Buddha, stupas, and various other forms.

This Buddha head taller than three feet, maybe a special order.

When the earthquake rocked Yogyakarta on May 27, 2006, Kasongan village devastated. Most shops and place of manufacture of pottery collapsed and severely damaged. Thousands of products are ready for the market crumbled into rubble. Huge material loss, and grief of the craftsmen and entrepreneurs really deep.

"We're playing with flavors. Because the sape is not the same with most guitars. There are no stairs tone. Not everyone can play this instrument, "said Stephen, sape players coming from Malino Regency, East Kalimantan Province.
Sujarni Alloy, Dayakologi Institute researchers reveal, sape is a mythological in Dayak society. The diversity of ethnic groups, the increase characteristic of art and musical culture. He called the Dayak Kenyah wealth and who has a specific three-stringed musical with it.
Inhabiting Borneo Dayak wealth, both in the Deep River, Kapuas Hulu regency, West Kalimantan, Mahakam River, River wealth and surrounding areas in East Kalimantan and the Baram River, Telaang Usaan, Tubau and around Sarawak, Malaysia, has a unique musical art.
This tribe is big enough. In his group there are various subKayaan, among others, Punan, Kenyah and wealth itself. This tribe has a musical instrument called Sampek (people call this wealth Sape '). Sape 'is a stringed musical is not foreign in the eyes of the pelagiat art in both Indonesia and Sarawak, Malaysia.
Music sape 'which is owned by the Dayak wealth consists of two types. First, wide-bodied, small-stemmed, about one meter in length, has two strings / strap of plastic material. Sape of this type has four scales. "People often call it a sape wealth, as seen by the wealth," says Alloy.

Of the two types sape, the most popular is the Sape 'Kenyah. Because rhythm and sound that dilantunkannya can bring listeners were in the clouds. No wonder the old days, when night fell, young children play with both slowly on the road or along the length of the court house, so that the homeowner was asleep because it enjoyed it.
With the uniqueness of his voice, supposedly according to Dayak mythology wealth, Sape 'Kenyah, created by a person stranded in the essay (a small island in the middle of the river) because the boat sank in the lunge cascade. When the person who to this day not yet known who actually, along with his colleagues down the river, is expected in East Kalimantan.
Because they were unable to save the canoe from the cascade, and consequently sank. Of the many people, one of whom lives and save themselves kekarangan. While others died of tengelam and brought current.

Ways of making sape 'actually quite complicated. Wood used must also be selected. In addition Pelaik wood (wood cork) or other types of clay timber, can also hardwood such as jackfruit, purchasing and other hardwoods.
The harder and a lot of wood tendon, then the resulting sound better than the clay timber. Flattened surface section, while the back of the hole is elongated, but not translucent surface. To find a good sound then the level of thick and thin edge surfaces must be equal, so the sound can vibrate uniformly, so that mengehasilkan cekup sound long and loud when picked.
According to V. AEM Jo Lirung Anya, a musician from Dayak wealth sape Deep River, Kapuas Hulu regency, West Kalimantan, is not uncommon maker sape 'always wrong to determine the quality of her voice.
While how to play it, is clearly different from how to play the guitar melody, because the fingers on only one string the same shift up and down. The musicians when memeinkan a song, just by feeling or viling only.
For the moment there are no specific guidelines that writing about music notation song. Music Recordings sape 'This could be in the can like Sarawak, West Kalimantan and East Kalimantan, in the form of cassette tape recorders or Compact Disk.
Currently sape 'not only can be played alone bersaman with other traditional music, but can also collaborated with modern music such as organ, guitar and even drums instead of drum.

And, still clanking strings sape. Age has been adopted it becomes the inspiration for the modern musician. .

Actually not bad we write dah article fiddle here, kerana writing fiddle associated with this screed is also abg seashell wrote in the magazine arena in mac / April 2007. Now the writing was bersama2 with another header to make seashell abg namely "Jenis2 and category makyung song" in the printing process by kekwa for books published in the form of luxury. To the knowledge of all makyung is satu2nya heritage that has been in iktiraf country by UNESCO as an intangible heritage represents the country malaysia.
But never mind top adinda fulfill our desires, make a seashell abg also just for the introduction of KPD adik2 us here. If I'm not quite 450 words do not cut any markup, if my son cut also cut terus.hehehe name ..

As we are willing to understand that unlicensed fiddle is one rather than the traditional Muzik tool wither. He included in this type of equipment called a distinguished roped Muzik kodrofon. Disemenanjung Malaysia there are two kinds of fiddle, namely three and fiddle fiddle strappy lace-two.
Trigon roped three commonly used in the game makyung, braid and games peteri, fiddle this kind in the country there are Kedah, Kelantan, and Trengganu Thai south. Trigon roped two also only used to accompany wayang melayu game simple. Tempat2 contained Malay wayang is in the ancient times the country is in Kelantan, Trengganu, Kedah and southern Thai (Patani). By kerana conversation at this time to fiddle menjerumus roped three then all the lights will be on the stack to fiddle roped three-sake only.
In general, people have menagkui that unlicensed fiddle comes from Persia, this kerana fiddle refers to the word itself is derived from the word "Rabab" even in other negara2 like Afghanistan was still using the name or rebet Rabab again.
For those who are involved in the game makyung usual, this fiddle is to have its own name UMBANG namely, so that we can see in the pengucapan2 and mentera Malay contained in makyun and peteri, direct speech is not spoken directly fiddle, but in umbang call. For example if you want to in describing the atmosphere segala2 bunyi2an-sounding instrument then called "Then I heard once with magic umbang nobat java canang kelenang muri roebuck horns ... ..".
At the time of this fiddle originally wore a rope yarn, but times have changed cause fiddle now been wearing the guitar strap (Holow guitar). The rope is distinguished according to fiddle G D-3rd-4th A-5th. Exchanging this fiddle string guitar strap kerana happier purchased at kedai2 and powerful sound even when my son in comparison with rope yarn.
In particular makyung Muzik fiddle is the most important tool kerana rebablah that will be guiding the song or songs to sesetengah person supervising menganggapkan fiddle is that unlicensed teachers pamurba song or songs.

In the philosophy of Malay people's thinking, is in lambangkan fiddle to a woman. Hence the name on each portion fiddle beside it has a meaning opposite outcome in that there contain adequate in the opposite meaning that abg nk seashell do not intend the story at length this chapter here. Just tell me who may be short on is the fiddle that contain adequate head, spreader, Suna rod, piston, kemban, stem, shell, leech, milk, kili2, pivot and leg. Each portion (part) have had the task masing2.

About three-string fiddle that is the symbol of the seven men and seven members of the sound level, the number seven was at about the mixing of three ropes with a four-finger picking.
How to play fiddle usually we will swipe with the use of wood bow, this bow string will brush with string fiddle that is in pairs with a bloodsucker (bridge) or kekuda to prop string fiddle. If the string fiddle exposed to friction, vibration kekulit concatenated string will advance through the leech did.

Leather face in doing this rebab from abdominal skin ox / kebau that in Sepat into juice to produce an echo sound. Sitting a fiddle player must be in a state of cross-legged Adah.
Each string fiddle also has a name and tiun masing2 namely No. 1 rope rope called Cyn, rope rope number 2 is called the Central and No. 3 in the call string string Bor, tiun string fiddle namely the gap between these is the perfect 4th tali2 namely equal jedanya with tiun guitar strap.
How learning fiddle today still wear the traditional kaedah namely the system of view heard and tried as what applies to the top of the other Muzik. Actually, this method may be improved with more applying again namely by using a notation such as what has been done by outside and above negara2 alat2 their traditional Muzik without menjejaskan authenticity else. To that since 20 years ago abg seashell create and teach this traditional Muzik tool using the notation system and in recent years is just a notation fiddle kebelakangan makyung ready created along with a complete penjarian position which has never made one so far.
Two weeks off abg seashell on the go by two japanese students who are making their assessment and tessis PHD in the field of traditional Muzik we particularly wayang kulit. During the meeting they asked that abg bermacam2 soalan seashell taste of our own people also have no idea benda2 dah tu all, this may kerana exposure in perkara2 like that no longer exists in our place.

Storage and Maintenance Angklung For a given that Angklung made of bamboo materials, construction or power does not like metal, so we need good maintenance and storage. Good Angklung made from bamboo that has been through good quality control process. Long storage before being processed into Angklung bamboo must be at least one year old. Drying process is working for Angklung bamboo made to produce accurate sound / loud and less susceptible to pest termites. Angklung age when the treatment is good to reach 10 years.
Here are the steps that can be done to maintain the instrument Angklung:
Once Angklung arrived at a new place, get open and hang on the pole standard that has been provided. Storage in a cardboard box / place closed more than 7 days can result in a change of voice and penjamuran on bamboo. Storage Angklung preferably by hanging, not stacked. Angklung storage should be in a dry place and not humid with temperatures ranging from 25-33 C. Do not store in the open Angklung that get sunlight or rain directly. To maintain Angklung from penjamuran and termites, use anti-termite and fungal production SAU regular 2 weeks once the spraying process. To maintain sound quality do the tuning / re-tuning Angklung periodically. Angklung displacement from where we (Saung Angklung Udjo) to a new place (where the buyer) will slightly affect the voice (usually up around 30 Hz), because conditions are not the same air temperature. To overcome this, the stem re-(re-stem) needs to be done. For Angklung stored in hot temperatures with temperatures> 30 C sometimes causes a slight crack on the base of the tube. This does not interfere with the sound, and handling are given enough wood glue
