Dewa Athena - OP

Though it has been too late to post, but it was February 21^st 2015 and it was Saturday. It was the day when SMAN 3 Bandung students was having an opening of the annual event called “DEWA ATHENA”. It’s been held for the seventh time. Dewa Athena is a interclass sport competition with various kind of sport including basketball, football, tug of war, relay, etc. Every class had to participate in every kind of sport. Besides, we didn’t just have to participate in the competition but also in the opening itself. It included into the sport lesson score.

It was been scheduled for us to be gathered at the Bali Sport Field at 6.15 WIB. The dress code for this event is white old shirt and black uniform pant. But for me, as the MP3 (Movie Production 3) member had to come there earlier at about 6 am.

The MP3 members gathered to divide the members into some groups to capture the moments at certain point. And I had to capture the moments at Aceh Street.

I don't really know what exactly happened on the opening of Dewa Athena. But it mostly the greetings from the chief executive of the event, Nissa Febriani the 11th grade student, the chairman of OSIS, M. Yasyril Mumtaz, and also from the headmaster of SMAN 3 Bandung, Mr. Encang Iskandar.

The opening was directed by the masters of the ceremony (MC) Firza Haikal and Nadya Rahmani! And right after the greetings ended, we continued with "run around Indonesia" and the most awaited...COLOR RUN!

Ghina, my partner for capturing the moment at Aceh Street has not had breakfast yet, also the run team will come in long enough time to eat, we was ended up having a breakfast before they coming. And right after we finished our breakfast, we went to the rendezvous point and we were just not waiting to long before a dozens people with white shirt came and kept running to the next point.

We just too exhausted to went after them so we decided to just walk joyfully back to the Bali Sport Field. And when we were arrived there, the color run had began. I was preventing from getting any paint on my jacket so I hid myself as far as possible from the crowd.

The opening was over. And next were the competitions.Our class, SEPADU SEPADAN had 4 competitions on that day. The girls futsal, the girls dodgeball, the boys dodgeball, and also the girl-boy badminton.

It was a great day although we only won a match. But it was really not a problem cause the real meaning of win is when we could get up from the loss.

DEWA ATHENA, FORTES FORTUNA IUVAT!

Black "Piercing Star" Hole

 

“(I swear) by Heaven and the Tariq! And what will convey to you what the Tariq is? The Star Piercing (the darkness)!” (Qur’an, 86:1-3)

You must be wondering, what the connection between the title (Black "Piercing Star" Hole) and the ayah above? The term used in the verse is ‘althaqibu,’ meaning piercing, opening a hole, penetrating and passing through, from the root ‘thaqaba,’ meaning ‘hole.’ The word used in scientific publications when black holes are being described is ‘puncture.’ There is a considerable wisdom in the use of this word to describe the features of black holes in the Qur’an. The fact that this property of stars is mentioned in the Qur’an is important evidence that the Qur’an is indeed the very word of Allah.

The 20th century saw a great many new discoveries regarding celestial phenomena in the universe. One of these entities, which has only recently been encountered, is the Black Hole. These are formed when a star which has consumed all its fuel collapses in on itself, eventually turning into a black hole with infinite density and zero volume and an immensely powerful magnetic field. We are unable to see black holes even with the most powerful telescope, because their gravitational pull is so strong that light is unable to escape from them. However, such a collapsed star can be perceived by means of the effect it has on the surrounding area. 

A black hole is a mathematically defined region of spacetime exhibiting such a strong gravitational pull that no particle orelectromagnetic radiation can escape from it.^[1] The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact masscan deform spacetime to form a black hole.^[2] The boundary of the region from which no escape is possible is called theevent horizon. Although crossing the event horizon has enormous effect on the fate of the object crossing it, it appears to have no locally detectable features. In many ways a black hole acts like an ideal black body, as it reflects no light.^[3][4]Moreover, quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit Hawking radiation, with the same spectrum as a black body of a temperature inversely proportional to its mass. This temperature is on the order of billionths of a kelvin for black holes of stellar mass, making it essentially impossible to observe.

Objects whose gravitational fields are too strong for light to escape were first considered in the 18th century by John Michell and Pierre-Simon Laplace. The first modern solution of general relativity that would characterize a black hole was found by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916, although its interpretation as a region of space from which nothing can escape was first published by David Finkelstein in 1958. Long considered a mathematical curiosity, it was during the 1960s that theoretical work showed black holes were a generic prediction of general relativity. The discovery of neutron stars sparked interest in gravitationally collapsed compact objects as a possible astrophysical reality.

Black holes of stellar mass are expected to form when very massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle. After a black hole has formed, it can continue to grow by absorbing mass from its surroundings. By absorbing other stars and merging with other black holes, supermassive black holes of millions of solar masses (M_☉) may form. There is general consensus that supermassive black holes exist in the centers of most galaxies.

Despite its invisible interior, the presence of a black hole can be inferred through its interaction with other matter and withelectromagnetic radiation such as light. Matter falling onto a black hole can form an accretion disk heated by friction, forming some of the brightest objects in the universe. If there are other stars orbiting a black hole, their orbit can be used to determine its mass and location. Such observations can be used to exclude possible alternatives (such as neutron stars). In this way, astronomers have identified numerous stellar black hole candidates in binary systems, and established that the core of the Milky Way contains a supermassive black hole of about 4.3 million M_☉.

Black holes are places where ordinary gravity has become so extreme that it overwhelms all other forces in the Universe. Once inside, nothing can escape a black hole's gravity — not even light.

Yet we know that black holes exist. We know how they are born, where they occur, and why they exist in different sizes. We even know what would happen if you fell into one. Our discoveries have revealed one of the strangest objects in the Universe, and there's still much we don't know.

There are about at least 10 facts about Black Hole. Here they are:

Fact 1: You can’t directly see a black hole.

Because a black hole is indeed “black” — no light can escape from it — it’s impossible for us to sense the hole directly through our instruments, no matter what kind of electromagnetic radiation you use (light, X-rays, whatever.) The key is to look at the hole’s effects on the nearby environment, points out NASA. Say a star happens to get too close to the black hole, for example. The black hole naturally pulls on the star and rips it to shreds. When the matter from the star begins to bleed toward the black hole, it gets faster, gets hotter and glows brightly in X-rays.

Fact 2: Look out! Our Milky Way likely has a black hole.

A natural next question is given how dangerous a black hole is, is Earth in any imminent danger of getting swallowed? The answer is no, astronomers say, although there is probably a huge supermassive black hole lurking in the middle of our galaxy. Luckily, we’re nowhere near this monster — we are about two-thirds of the way out from the center, relative to the rest of our galaxy — but we can certainly observe its effects from afar. For example: the European Space Agency says it’s four million times more massive than our Sun, and that it’s surrounded by surprisingly hot gas.

Fact 3: Dying stars create stellar black holes.

Say you have a star that’s about 20 times more massive than the Sun. Our Sun is going to end its life quietly; when its nuclear fuel burns out, it’ll slowly fade into a white dwarf. That’s not the case for far more massive stars. When those monsters run out of fuel, gravity will overwhelm the natural pressure the star maintains to keep its shape stable. When the pressure from nuclear reactions collapses, according to the Space Telescope Science Institute, gravity violently overwhelms and collapses the core and other layers are flung into space. This is called a supernova. The remaining core collapses into a singularity — a spot of infinite density and almost no volume. That’s another name for a black hole.

Fact 4: Black holes come in a range of sizes.

There are at least three types of black holes, NASA says, ranging from relative squeakers to those that dominate a galaxy’s center. Primordial black holes are the smallest kinds, and range in size from one atom’s size to a mountain’s mass. Stellar black holes, the most common type, are up to 20 times more massive than our own Sun and are likely sprinkled in the dozens within the Milky Way. And then there are the gargantuan ones in the centers of galaxies, called “supermassive black holes.” They’re each more than one million times more massive than the Sun. How these beasts formed is still being examined.

Fact 5: Weird time stuff happens around black holes.

This is best illustrated by one person (call them Unlucky) falling into a black hole while another person (call them Lucky) watches. From Lucky’s perspective, Unlucky’s time clock appears to be ticking slower and slower. This is in accordance with Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which (simply put) says that time is affected by how fast you go, when you’re at extreme speeds close to light. The black hole warps time and space so much that Unlucky’s time appears to be running slower. From Unlucky’s perspective, however, their clock is running normally and Lucky’s is running fast.

Fact 6: The first black hole wasn’t discovered until X-ray astronomy was used.

Cygnus X-1 was first found during balloon flights in the 1960s, but wasn’t identified as a black hole for about another decade. According to NASA, the black hole is 10 times more massive to the Sun. Nearby is a blue supergiant star that is about 20 times more massive than the Sun, which is bleeding due to the black hole and creating X-ray emissions.

Fact 7: The nearest black hole is likely not 1,600 light-years away.

An erroneous measurement of V4641 Sagitarii led to a slew of news reports a few years back saying that the nearest black hole to Earth is astoundingly close, just 1,600 light-years away. Not close enough to be considered dangerous, but way closer than thought. Further research, however, shows that the black hole is likely further away than that. Looking at the rotation of its companion star, among other factors, yielded a 2014 result of more than 20,000 light years.

Fact 8: We aren’t sure if wormholes exist.

A popular science-fiction topic concerns what happens if somebody falls into a black hole. Some people believe these objects are a sort of wormhole to other parts of the Universe, making faster-than-light travel possible. But as this Smithsonian Magazine article points out, anything is possible since we still have a lot to figure out about physics. “Since we do not yet have a theory that reliably unifies general relativity with quantum mechanics, we do not know of the entire zoo of possible spacetime structures that could accommodate wormholes,” said Abi Loeb, who is with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Fact 9: Black holes are only dangerous if you get too close.

Like creatures behind a cage, it’s okay to observe a black hole if you stay away from its event horizon — think of it like the gravitational field of a planet. This zone is the point of no return, when you’re too close for any hope of rescue. But you can safely observe the black hole from outside of this arena. By extension, this means it’s likely impossible for a black hole to swallow up everything in the Universe (barring some sort of major revision to physics or understanding of our Cosmos, of course.)

Fact 10: Black holes are used all the time in science fiction.

There are so many films and movies using black holes, for example, that it’s impossible to list them all. Interstellar‘s journeys through the universe includes a close-up look at a black hole. Event Horizon explores the phenomenon of artificial black holes — something that is also discussed in the Star Trek universe. Black holes are also talked about in Battlestar:Galactica, Stargate: SG1 and many, many other space shows.

In Surat al-Waqi'a, Allah draws attention this matter in this way, by swearing upon the position of stars:

And I swear by the stars' positions-and that is a mighty oath if you only knew. (Qur'an, 56:75-76)

The term "black hole" was first employed in 1969 by the American physicist John Wheeler. Previously, we imagined that we were able to see all the stars. However, it later emerged that there were stars in space whose light we were unable to perceive. Because, the light of these collapsed stars disappears. Light cannot escape from a black hole because it is such a high concentration of mass in a small space. The enormous gravitation captures even the fastest particles, i.e. the photons. For example, the final stage of a typical star, three times the mass of the Sun, ends after its burning out and its implosion as a black hole of only 20 kilometres in diameter! Black holes are "black," i.e. veiled from direct observation. They nevertheless reveal themselves indirectly, by the tremendous suction which their gravitational force exerts on other heavenly bodies. As well as depictions of the Day of Judgement, the verse below may also be pointing to this scientific discovery about black holes:

When the stars are extinguished, (Qur'an, 77:8)

Moreover, stars of great mass also cause warps to be perceived in space. Black holes, however, do not just cause warps in space but also tear holes in it. That is why these collapsed stars are known as black holes. This fact may be referred to in the verse about stars, and this is another important item of information demonstrating that the Qur'an is the Word of Allah:

[I swear] by Heaven and the Tariq! And what will convey to you what the Tariq is? The Star Piercing [the darkness]! (Qur'an, 86:1-3)

 Almighty Allah provided information about “black holes” in the Qur’an as well as other celestial bodies at a time when mankind knew nothing about celestial bodies.

Information from black holes

Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British physicist, has said that a black hole begins producing nuclear energy when it forms, and that the radiation that forms can provide information about what is inside the black hole.

Stephen Hawking’s obtaining such information is most interesting because this theory is a clear manifestation of Almighty Allah’s title of Al-Hafiz (The Preserver), “He Who preserves all things in detail,” and this has been scientifically proved by the renowned physicist.

In the sight of Allah, everything has taken place and finished in a moment. Since the beginning of time, everything has taken place in this single moment. In the sight of Allah, all information pertaining to this moment is kept in a “Book.” This “Main Book,” or as the Qur’an calls it, “The Mother of the Book,” holds every bit of information about everything: 

“Certainly there is no hidden thing in either heaven or earth which is not in a Clear Book.” (Qur’an, 27:75)

The Book will be set in place and you will see the evildoers fearful of what is in it. They will say, “Alas for us! What is this Book which does not pass over any action, small or great, without recording it?” 

“They will find there everything they did and your Lord will not wrong anyone at all.” (Qur’an, 18:49) 

Allah has created everything, living or non-living, which has existed since the beginning of the universe and all events which have happened. Consequently, Allah is cognizant of them all. To put it in another way, “They all exist in the memory of Allah.” In this sense, the Mother of the Book is a manifestation of Allah’s attribute, the Al-Hafiz.

One of the miraculous features of the Qur’an proving that it is the word of Allah is these verses referring to black holes. Thanks to the way that the verses of the Qur’an may bear several meanings, it is highly probable that many more miracles of the Qur’an will emerge in the years to come. (Allah alone knows the truth of all things.) 

As the word of Almighty and Omniscient Allah, the Qur’an contains much information that people do not understand, or which they as yet lack the knowledge to understand. This information comes to light by means of technological and scientific advances taking place at a time and level of our Lord’s choosing, thus confirming the miraculous nature of the Qur’an.

Destined to eternity

At this point, we come upon a striking fact; because the memory of Allah is infinite, nothing existent in Him becomes lost. In other words, no living being created by Allah vanishes, no flower fades, no drink finishes, no period comes to an end, and no food is consumed. Every moment Allah creates and every exact detail of everything are created in eternity and it is “destined to eternity.”

This explanation may be put in the following way: Eternity has begun for a being or an event by the time it is created. For instance, when a flower is created, it is, in reality, destined not to disappear. That this being ceases to become a part of one’s sensations and is erased from one’s memory does not actually mean that it has vanished or died. Its state in the Sight of Allah is what actually matters. Furthermore, all states of this being, be it its creation, all moments throughout its life or death, exist in the Memory of Allah.

Upon all that is created, Allah bestows eternity. In other words, existing things have attained eternity by the time they are created. To have a thorough grasp of this notion, however, one needs to reflect on all beings and events individually. 

But, before proceeding with this subject, it would be useful to stress the following fact; what has been stated so far, together with the following, is no doubt the most important information one can ever acquire in one’s lifetime. 

Most probably, many people are hearing and reflecting on these facts about timelessness for the first time in their lives. However, here is something important to keep in mind: Allah, in the Qur’an, draws our attention to the fact that “only those who sincerely turn to Allah” take heed. In other words, only those who truly seek the guidance of our Lord and endeavor to appreciate His infinite might and His greatness will heed these explanations and have a grasp of these facts.

Another Special Culinary of DIY

Hello! It was about 10 days ago I posted my last post! It tells my holiday experience, yes, which was not really exciting, but yeah, it still was a nice holiday. Included as the long one, I think.

Theeenn, I'm going to post a new post! And now, it is about hm.. food! Oh, YES, FOOD! Don't you feel a bit hungry, well, yes I do.

Why did I choose a culinary of Yogyakarta for this session? Because, Yogyakarta is a memorable province I've been there for 3 years! Why do I put "another" instead of just "Special Culinary of DIY"? It just because, almost every people in Indonesia only know that special culinary of Yogyakarta are gudeg, gudeg, and gudeg! But, why don't we look for another one? Not exactly in Jogja, the capital city, but in Sleman! I'm talking about Mt. Merapi! But a bit down, down, and .. on the foot of the Mt. Merapi, Kaliurang, Sleman, there's a special culinary known as Jadah Tempe.

It's not such an expensive food, it's being sold on the road side along Kaliurang. I've ever ate it once, while I was having a motivation training in one of the villa there when I was 9th grader! It tasted good with really cheap price! It accompany my trip back to dorm. 

source: http://eatjogja.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Jadah-Mbah-Carik-2.jpg

Jadah tempe is one of the unique traditional food of Sleman, Yogyakarta. It was named after a combination of two food type: jadah, the processed sticky rice, and 'tempe bacem'. It really is not satisfying yet if we came to Kaliurang but didn't taste this food. This culinary will not be found at any place in Yogyakarta, cause this typical culinary of Kaliurang has been sold only at Mt. Merapi slope.

This processed sticky rice food which combine with the coconut is so tasty. Beside, its couple, 'tempe bacem' has a sweet taste, legi. It would be more delicious if we eat it with some cayenne. It used to be served with babana leaves. So, the taste of this food is a combination of savory and sweet, plus, a bit spicy taste from the cayenne. Jadah Tempe is so good to be ate on the the cold weather just like in Kaliurang.

The well-known Jadah Tempe seller is 'Mbah Carik', located in Kaliurang tourist areas. It did have a very long history. Jadah Tempe was originally entirely mediocre food for the villagers, not such a famous food. In the 1950s this Jadah Tempe first introduced by Sastro Dinomo or often called champion Carik around in the Kaliurang village. It became famous when Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX tried to taste the Jadah Tempe. It turned out that he really liked it. Moreover he often sent his bodyguard to buy the Jadah Tempe of Kaliurang. Since then, food Jadah Tempeh become famous and typical food of Yogyakarta, especially in the Kaliurang nowaday.

To enjoy this special food you don't have to pay dearly enough for just under 10 thousand rupiah you can already enjoy the pleasure of the mountain atmosphere with food that has the really good flavor of a typical steady countryside. For those of you who have often visited Kaliurang tourist areas must have been enjoying this delicious food. Experience of enjoying this typical foods make us nostalgic and want to come back again, and again to enjoy it.

Then, what if we had not much time to come to Kaliurang and enjoy its good typical food? There is a way to enjoy it, even though the atmosphere was never the same. You can still enjoy it at home. So, no need to worry, here you go the recipe!

Ingredients of Making Jadah:

     400 grams of glutinous rice, soaked for 2 hours
     75 ml of hot water
     200 grams of coconut, remove the epidermis (skin brown), and shredded
     1 teaspoon salt

Ingredients of Tempe Bacem:

     600 grams of tempeh which is still good
     4 bay leaves
     2 cm galangal, crushed
     1000 ml of water / coconut water
     cooking oil


Grinded Spices:

     10 onions
     3 cloves of garlic
     3 teaspoons coriander
     150 grams of brown sugar, thin combed
     50 grams of tamarind, dissolved in a little water
     2 teaspoons salt
     Cayenne pepper (if required for the presentation)

 How to Make Tempe Bacem Jadah Typical Kaliurang:

     Make Jadah: Wash the glutinous rice thoroughly, then drain. Steamed glutinous until half cooked, lift, and move in another container. Then stir it with hot water until the water runs absorbed by the sticky rice. Put the grated coconut and salt. Stir, then steam it until cooked, and lift.

     Remove the sticky rice that has been cooked out of steam, mash while still hot to be smooth, sticky, dense and clay. Take about 2 tablespoons of sticky rice, make a round shape, then flake its thickness of approximately 1 1/2 cm and set aside (the form can adjust to taste).

     Make Tempe Bacem: Cut the tempeh with a size of 4 x 6 cm. Enter it into the skillet along with a mixture of bay leaves, galangal, coconut water, and marinades paste, then stir slowly. Boil over medium heat until boiling. Reduce the heat, then cover the skillet, while stirring occasionally until liquid is absorbed and dried. Then lift.

     Heat oil in a frying pan until ready to fry. Enter the tempeh that has been mixed with seasoning, fry in hot oil until the color turns brown, remove from heat, then drain.

How to eat: Put some Jadah and Tempe Bacem on the plate. Serve with chili sauce, and enjoy.

Well it really isn't hard and of course those of you who've never enjoyed this food but far from your home, you can make it by yourself at home. Enjoy and be creative!

Holiday? I think it was Holi-movies-days!

Wow, it's been a long time since my last post in this blog, isn't it? There was actually a task that told me to tell this holiday experience. Hm, but I don't think there was any of interesting experience on this holiday. So I delayed, and delayed, and delayed to write it just because I don't even know what should I write here.

So, I finally decided to just tell it, even though it was really such a - I can't say it was boring, just not interesting - holiday. And here we go!

I actually went to nowhere. Yeah, just sat on chair in my bedroom, looking at the laptop, watching movies, read manga, browsing, and nothing out of ordinary I swear. But at the first day of holiday (it actually could be called as second day) my brother who was having his holiday in Bandung asked me to go to cinema, oh wow, how could I rejecting it? I was sure I really wanted to. Moreover it was The Hobbit third movie, the awaited one!

We went to the nearest cinema from my house, to XXI in Trans Studio Mall. We went there from house at 11 o'clock and reach there at 12.10. We quickly went to the third floor cause we didn't want to get the next show schedule. And Rizal bought two tickets hurriedly, and the schedule was 12.15! The movie 'almost' began!

"Go to the studio 1!" said Rizal to me, and we went to the studio 1 a moment before the movie began.

Rizal was actually a really uncommunicative person, even with his family. He just sat beside me, watched the movie in silence without any word, just sometimes amazed by the movie. He never really talked to me.

The movie took about 2 and three-quarter hours. I think it was a funny part of that day, when we just went out from the studio and went to the basement to have Dhuhur prayer since the mushalla was usually at the basement. But not this time, I thought I just haven't coming here for just a year and there were so many differences happened.

"It has been not any mushalla at the basement now. It has been relocated to the third floor, thank you." said a woman staff there. Okay, then we should go to the third floor, again.

Rizal chose to use lift rather than elevators. So, we went to the lift towards the third floor. Rizal pushed the third floor button inside the lift, but do you know? He was not going out from the lift even though I had pulled his jacket.

"No, not yet." he said. I just didn't understand what he meant at all.

Then the lift was going down, and I glanced at him. "What did he supposed to mean?"

The lift stopped at the third floor, again. And whatever he thought I pull his jacket and brought him outside the lift. "What did you think, bro?"

"I just didn't know and you didn't say anything to me."

Yeah, that was the only - almost - interesting experience of this holiday I think. Yes, my holiday filled with so many movies. And the only place I went was Trans Studio Mall, twice. Watched The Hobbit and Assalamu'alaikum Beijing.

I thanked cause there's not any tasks, yeah, just a task to tell my holiday. And that's all I think I can tell, hm, if I recall, I've seen more than 15 movies this holiday.

But I think it a bit bad holiday since I got some sickness, but thanks God, I get 3 weeks holiday for new year, cause usually I didn't get any -,-

I'm so sorry I cannot tell much, cause I don't really know what to tell :( So, bye!
