Dewa Athena

Today is the first day of Dewa Athena. I was very anthusiatic because I will watch the sport match as well as documented the event. Unfortunately I came late since last night I played badminton with my big family until 11 p.m. that made me so exhausted that I woke up late. But thanks god, I am one of the committee so I was able to come in. 

Various matches are held such as gobak sodor, tarik tambang, futsal, basketball​, volleyball, badminton and dodgeball.

1. Gobak Sodor
Gobak sodor consists of 2 teams, one team of 3 people. A rule of thumb is to intercept the opponent can not escape to the last line in a back and forth. To determine who is champion of all team members must complete the process of back and forth in a predetermined area of the field.

2. Tarik Tambang

Tarik tambang is a sport that directly puts two teams against each other in a test of strength. Teams pull on opposite ends of a rope, with the goal being to bring the rope a certain distance in one direction against the force of the opposing team's pull.

3. Futsal

Futsal is a variant of associatiom football played on a hard court, smaller than a football pitch, and mainly indoors. It can be considered a version of five a side football

Futsal is played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller ball.The surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity, and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.

4. Basketball

Basketball is a non-contact team sport played on a rectangular court by two teams of five players each. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter and 10 feet (3.048 m) high that is mounted to a backboard at each end of the court. The game was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith who would be the first basketball coach of the  Kansas Jayhawks, one of the most successful programs in the game's history.

5. Volleyball

Volleyball is a team sport. The teams are separated by a net. It has six players on each side of the net. Each team is allowed twelve substitutiom players.Deveyn Hayney. The game starts when the captain from each team decides which side of the court they will play on, by the toss of a coin, which also determines who will serve (hit) the ball first. The point of the game is to keep the ball in the air. The ball can be played with any part of the body, with a maximum of three strokes a team. If at any point the ball hits the floor, the side that the ball landed on it is a point for the other team.

6. Badminton

Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" (with one player per side) and "doubles" (with two players per side). Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a beach; formal games are played on a rectangular indoor court. Points are scored by striking the shuttlecock with the racquet and landing it within the opposing side's half of the court.

7. Dodgeball

Dodgeball is a game in which players on two teams try to throw balls at each other while avoiding being hit themselves. In North America, the game is typically played among children ages 6–12 in elementary school. However, internationally, the sport has also emerged as a popular middle school, high school, and college sport and in some countries universities also play the sport. It is also popular in informal settings and is often played on a playground, community or in organised recreational leagues.

Learning From Nature

Nature is a part of this material world. Though it surround human kind, it is regarded as apart of human activities. As we know, nature gives us lots thing we cant count, such as pollination, releasing oxygen, providing water, every single thing nature provides us, it seems to be gifts god grants for all of us.

Trees are absolutely important to all human beings. They play important role to circulate oxygen. If they disappear, there will be no more oxygen we can breath. Then consequently, there will not be "life". Trees generate oxygen by doing photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process involving plants, and some bacteria. It uses the energy of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

Glucose it self can be used for food. The food that which we eat are made by nature. Includes vegetables ad fruits. Nature also provide water which is the second primary thing that huma need. We drink water, we take a bath by using water, we wash our clothes, dishes, shoes, and so on by using water as well. Besides, we need water to defecate. Imagine the world without water, trees, and oxygen!!! It would be disaster.

We should and must look after for nature, and concern of the importance of nture condition right now. Actually, there are many benefits if we care to nature. Such as, sharpens our senses, release our worry and stress, stimulates our imagination, sources of our inspirations, anx many more. How can  we reciprocate to nature? Here, I will suggest you to reciprocate to nature. First, I will give you the with an easy start. Grow a local plants or a local trees. That is such an easy way. After you grow your plant, dont forget to treat it as well as treat our parents. Second, go for a walk and visit a waste dump. In this way, we can realize how terrible the condition of naturen That is super easy

Holiday Trip in yogyakarta

Last New Year's Eve, my family joined some other families on a fishing trip at Yogyakarta harbor to welcome the New Year. We went fishing so we could stay up late.

On our way to the harbor, we bought some beef mince at the butcher's. We use the mince as bait. My parent's friends brought the fishing rod for us to use. When we got to the harbor, some families were already there. We were a bit late because we tried to find our way to rhe harbor and got a bit lost. We started a fishing competition. We agreed that whoever got the most fish would keep all the fish caught that night. Apparently, no one caught any big fish. We caught mostly small yellowtail fish. After fishing for nearly three hours, my mom got the most fish. All the participants gave all their fish to us. We came to the villa with a bucketful of fish. It was no bad at all.

The next morning, we enjoyed some fresh fried yellowtail fish with steamed rice for breakfast. That was very special because we had never had fried yellowtail fish for breakfast before

At the beach

Me and my family were on holiday at Indrayanti's beach. Luckily, my paren's friend had a nice villa near the beach. So, we could stay along in there... Me and my father walked along the seashore. We saw that the tide was low. My mother and my sister was lying on the beach reading a novel and listening to the music.

I asked my father, "Dad, can you tell me what time the tide will be high?" "Oh, sure honey. With simple arithmetic, we can estimate when the tide will be high or low. But, look! Who is that?" "I think that's Mr. Priyadi and his son, Ditto." Me and my father walked down to the edge of the water towards Mr. Priyadi and his son. Mr. Priyadi stood up straight. Ditto was digging the sand with a small plastic spade. He was looking for clams. They were also having a holiday at Indrayanti's beach.

                                                                            .............

At the Mountain

Me and my family took a camping trip to the Merapi's mountains. We went hiking and cycling every morning.

At the night, we usually built a fire. I had to keep the fire burning. We could sut around and sing until midnight. One night, while my sister was telling us a ghost story, we heard a strange sound. We came out to see what it was. We saw a wild boar eating our food supplies. The boar ran away and dissapeared into the wood. We laughed to think that the boar was afraid of us

On the last day of my holiday in Yogya. My sister, Delicia, tripped on a hidden log and hurt her feet. We took her to the nearest hospital. The doctor said that the injury wasn't too bad. She just had to go to the doctor for more theraphy in a couple of days. We went home happily with a little bit sad

A Colurful Idea

On the first Friday in January 1991, Vanessa Hess sat in her seventh-grade science classroom at Stonybrook Junior High and heard her teacher, Mrs. Maurice Marchani, announce that each kid had to do a new project. They had to invent something. “There are only two ways you can avoid this,” Mrs. Marchani said. “You can die, or you can move.” As Mrs. Marchani continued, she made it clear that this was not a science-fair type project. “I never want to see another papier-mache volcano,” she said.

                Mrs. Marchani wanted to see original inventions. There must be any number of school across the United State where science teachers encourage students to be creative by saying, “Maybe someday you will grow up to be a famous inventor.” To Vanessa’s dismay, Mrs. Marchani had different advice. Why not try to become a famous inventor right now?

                In the Indianapolis area, Maurine Marchani has made a name for herself by inspiring her kids to become inventors. One of her students, Steve Prater, has been featured in national magazines. Twice, he won prizes in competition for his inventions. One invention was something called a Hand Stabilizer. A device that enabled a friend of his with cerebral palsy to hold a pencil and write responses on true or false or multiple-choice tests. It worked so well patented, the Hand Stabilizer and began developing it commercially. In his honor, the mayor of Indianapolis proclaimed August 23, 1989, Steve Prater Day.

                “But me?” Vanessa asked herself. Once, Mrs. Marchani had instructed her students to figure out ways a to drop an egg from the school roof without the egg breakings it landed. When the teacher, dressed in a bunny suit, tried Vanessa’s idea, the result weren’t so great. “Mine crushed,” says Vanessa.

                In spite of her doubts, however, this hesitant inventor had her idea after only a few weeks. In the classroom, Mrs. Marchani had said that when inventors hit upon a great idea, they sometimes shout a loud and victorious “Ah-hah!” But Vanessa? Her idea came as a soft “Hmmm…” It all started on the last weekend in January, when spring-like weather visited Indianapolis. The warm sunny day found Vanessa and her dad in the driveway, washing and waxing the family car.

                The maroon Olds gleamed as if new. But Vanessa noticed that each scratch in the paint showed up as a white mark, the white being wax left in the scratch. “You ought to cover these scratches,” she said. “Don’t know how to,” her father replied. “Unless I go to an autoparts store and get some touch-up paint. And even then, it may not match.”

“There ought to be a wax with color in it.”

“There isn’t one.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t know.”

And she had her idea. She stored it away inside her head and kept hoping a better one would come along. For a while, she thought of developing something to keep apples from turning brown after paring. But every Friday afternoon when Mrs. Marchani checked on her students’ progress, Vanessa shrugged and didn’t say much.

                As the February due date drew near, Vanessa realized she was running out of time. A few calls to auto-supply stores and a quick check through an auto magazine indicated that no one else seemed to have produced a colored car wax. So far, so good. Vanessa bought a blue Matchbox car and added blue food coloring to some car wax. She scratched up the toy car, then waxed the thing- and it worked!

                That Thursday night, with some encouragement from her mother, Vanessa printed up a posterboard and readied her display. “It wasn’t real nice,” she admits, “just a quick job.” The next day in the classroom she started uneasily at more attractive presentations. But, Mrs. Marchani, moving from student to student, had an eye for true ingenuity. When she poked her face over Vanessa’s shoulder, she started at the display for a moment, taking it in. then in a level tone she prophesied, “You are going to make money from this.”

                Vanessa’s colored car wax won first place in her classroom, and then swept the field in competition against inventions from other classes at Stonybrook. A panel of judges picked Vanessa’s project to represent Stonybrook in the annual contest sponsored by Invent America!, a  national organization that works with school to encourage young people to invent. Her display won that summer at the state level.

                That October, a newspaper article about Vanessa resulted in a phone call to the Hess home. An auto-products company had already been developing colored car wax with an industrial chemist-by coincidence, it was an Indianapolis firm.

                The annals of invention are strewn with better disputes between inventors claiming the same product. But this story has a happy ending. The owners of the auto-products company, two brothers named Dan and Don Huffman, were charmed by Vanessa’s story and decided to ask her to appear in an “infomercial” for Magic Shine, their colored car wax. Contracts were signed, and Vanessa and her mom were well paid to fly to California to help make a Magic Shine promotional movie that was later broadcast on TV all over the country.

                How did the young inventor like moviemaking? Vanessa ponders the days in Hollywood rehearsing and shooting and taking instructions from the British director. “It was kind a nice,” is all she says.

                The success of Vanessa Hess also belongs to her teacher. Maurine Marchani seems to provide classroom experiences that lead to creative thinking. In fact, entering Mrs. Marchani’s classroom is itself an experience. Visitor must find their way past a whole zoo of floppy sculptures that dangle from the wall. A live rabbit hops up and down the rows between the desks. A rabbit? “If you don’t pet her,” says Mrs. Marchani, “she eats your shoelaces.”

                The science teacher has a theory that junior high school kids need more physical attention than they admit. A kid who enters the school from a stressed-out home may need to have a rabbit on his lap the whole period. And she also believes that this is just the kind of place that encourage kids to risk having original thoughts. “In a setting that’s offbeat, its OK to make a mistake,” says Mrs. Marchani. “Kids are afraid of being foolish. If the teacher is sort of silly, then its OK for them. Its OK to risk.”

                She also notes that the students with the highest gradepoint averages aren’t always the best inventors. “I find that kids who do not do well on paper-and-pencil tests do wonderful things with ideas.” Some people view kid inventions as flukes. But, Maurine Marchani disagrees. “Nobody’s told seventh-graders they aren’t creative yet,” she says. To her mind, when it comes to inventing, twelve is the perfect age.
