Saat itu aku tahu bahwa hari itu adalah hari teristimewa bagiku, 
namun apa arti istimewa itu?
Tersadar bahwa aku saat itu bersamamu dalam hari teristimewa itu,
namun apa arti kebersamaan itu?
Memang, momentum teristimewa itu telah merasuki jiwa dan ragaku...
Tapi, kurasa daya momentum itu hanya berlabuh saja...


Tingkahmu yang begitu elok membuatku terpana tanpa henti,
dari tatapan kedua matamu yang telah mewarnai kedua mataku...
Sungguh indah.... sungguh tidak biasa bagiku....


Raguku mulai terpenjara saat menatap pada kedua matamu yang indah...
Seakan tenggelam di dalam rongga kedua matamu...
Saat itu aku hanya terpaku saja menikmati ritme semua itu...
yang tanpa sadar diriku bagai hilang entah kemana...


Kecuali, saat semuanya itu bagai membalik telapak tangan... 
Keadaan menjadi berubah.... momentum teristimewa itu bagai terpecah belah setiap detik.... setiap menit..... setiap jam..... bahkan setiap waktu dalam waktu....


Jiwa dan ragaku bangkit dari semua itu dengan lingkaran hiruk-pikuk..... sungguh aneh terasa....
Aku heran..... Kenapa cepat sekali Kau berlari dari jarak 0 Km ke 180 Km...?
Tanda tanya yang cukup besar bagiku...


Dapatkah hatimu menjawab semua itu?
atau
Dapatkah hatimu memahami semua itu?
Kurasa dari semua itu hanya Yang Maha Kuasa dan engkau yang tahu...


Kurasa semua itu berawal dari indahnya kedua matamu,
yang langsung menyentuh setiap sudut diriku....
dan
Kurasa semua itu berakhir dari suramnya hatimu,
yang langsung menusuk setiap sudut diriku...

Arthur Schopenhauer atau yang lebih dikenal dengan nama Schopenhauer, ialah seorang pemikir atau  filsuf Idealisme Jerman yang melanjutkan tradisi filsafat pasca-Kant. Dialah yang pertama kali membuka mata terhadap bagian dalam yang gelap dari manusia, yang ada di bawah permukaan kesadaran. Selai itu, Schopenhauer untuk pertama kalinya juga membuka jalan bagi suatu filsafat dan suatu psikologi dari hal yang tak sadar.

Dalam perkembangan filsafat Schopenhauer, ia dipengaruhi dengan kuat oleh Kant dan juga pandangan Buddha. Pemikiran Kant nampak di dalam pandangan Schopenhauer tentang dunia sebagai ide dan kehendak. Kant menyatakan bahwa pengetahuan manusia terbatas pada bidang penampakan atau fenomena, sehingga benda-pada-dirinya-sendiri (das Ding an sich) tidak pernah bisa diketahui manusia. Misalnya, apa yang manusia ketahui tentang pohon bukanlah pohon itu sendiri, melainkan gagasan orang itu tentang pohon. Schopenhauer mengembangkan pemikiran Kant tersebut dengan menyatakan bahwa benda-pada-dirinya-sendiri itu bisa diketahui, yakni kehendak.

Menurut Schopenhauer, dunia adalah suatu gagasan. Dari dunia sebagai gagasan itu tiada jalan yang menuju kepada dunianya dalam dirinya sendiri. Di luar atau di atas gagasan tiada dunia dalam dirinya sendiri. Oleh karena itu, hakekat dunia tidak dapat didekati dari luar, sebab segala pendekatan dari luar hanya memberi pengetahuan tentang apa yang tampak saja, tidak memberi pengetahuan tentang hakekat dunia itu. Jikalau kita ingin tahu tentang hakekat sebenarnya dari dunia ini, kita harus memasuki diri kita sendiri.

Manusia menemukan di dalam dirinya bahwa kehendaklah yang menjadi pendorong. Oleh karena itu, kehendak adalah bagian hidup yang terdalam. Bagian hidup yang terdalam ini dapat menampikan diri sebagai kehendak yang lebih tinggi dan sebagai kehendak yang lebih rendah. Kehendak yang tampil sebagai kehendak yang lebih tinggi di dalam pikiran, yang menjadi objek di dalam diri manusia, yang menyebabkan adanya gagasan-gagasan tentang dunia. Juga tubuh manusia dapat tampak sebagai gagasan, menjadi objek pandangan akal, menjadi objek di antara objek-objek yang lain. Sedangkan kehendak yang tampil sebagai kehendak yang lebih rendah di dalam perbuatan tubuh yang dapat diamati. Di dalam hal ini, perbuatan kehendak dan aktifitas tubuh bukan dua hal yang berbeda yang dihubungkan secara kausal (yang satu menyebabkan yang lain), sebab keduanya adalah sama atau dengan kata lain identik. Aktifitas tubuh tidak lain adalah perbuatan kehendak yang telah diperagakan, yang telah diobjektivir. Dengan demikian, tubuh tidak lain adalah kehendak yang telah diobjektivir dalam ruang dan waktu.

Secra garis besar, tujuan kehendak adalah hidup itu sendiri. Hakikat Ada manusia sebagai Kehendak adalah tetap hidup dan memaksimalkan kehidupan. Karena, tujuan kehendak adalah hidup, maka yang dibenci dan dihindari oleh Kehendak adalah kematian. Dengan demikian, untuk menghindari kematian itu, maka kehendak selalu bereproduksi.

Meski kematian dibenci dan musuh kehendak, kehendak tidak pernah meresahkan kematian. Karena dia sendiri adalah keresahan dan penderitaan. Kesadaranlah yang merasakan keresahan dan penderitaan itu. Sehingga, mereka yang berkesadaran sesunguhnya yang selalu resah. Makin meningkat kesadaran atau pengetahuan seseorang, maka makin meningkat pula penderitaan dan keresahannya. Munculnya keresahan yang dialami kesadaran pada manusia, tak lain karena manusia (dipaksa) memikirkan tentang kematian. Kita merasakan kebosanan hidup, penderitaan dan sakit yang tak berujung, terjadi karena manusia berkesadaran.  

Di dalam pemikiran Schopenhauer, kehendak tidak hanya menjadi daya pendorong di dalam manusia. Kehendak juga menjadi daya pendorong di dalam seluruh dunia, yaitu sebagai kehendak-dunia. Kehendak-dunia juga berkembang dari yang tak sadar ke yang sadar, sedang tiap tahap dalam perkembangan ini memiliki pengalamannya sendiri-sendiri. Semula keluarlah dari kehendak-dunia yang tak sadar itu alam yang tidak organis, kemudian alam tumbuh-tumbuhan dan alam binatang. Dalam tahap alam manusia, kehendak-dunia telah sampai kepada kesadaran diri. Demikianlah kehendak menampakkan diri sebagai asas dunia. Berdasarkan hal itu, maka segala gejala atau penampakkan yang mengelilingi manusia dalam ruang dan waktu harus dipandang sebagai penjelmaan kehendak. Kekuatan yang menggerakkan planet-planet, yang menjadikan benda-benda dapat mengadakan hubungan kimiawi, dan lain sebagainya, semuanya itu adalah kehendak-dunia, yang terjadi tanpa disadari. Di dalam bidang kehidupan, nafsu pembiakanlah yang menjadi penjelmaan yang paling kuat dari kehendak-dunia. Nafsu ini bahkan menglahkan maut. Maka sebenarnya pusat kehendak berada di dalam genitalia, yaitu tempat nafsu seksual. Apa sebab dua orang yang berbeda jenisnya begitu tertarik dari seorang kepada yang lain? Tidak lain karena kehendak untuk hidup yang terjelma dalam cinta seksual itu dan orang perorangan menjadi alat bagi jenisnya.

Jikalau dunia dipandang sebagai kehendak, maka hidup adalah penderitaan. Hal ini disebabkan kehendak tiada batasnya, sedang pemuasannya adalah terbatas. Akibatnya ialah bahwa manusia diserahkan kepada nafsu-nafsu dan keinginan-keinginan, sehingga tiada kebahagiaan pada manusia. Itulah sebabnya kenyataan hidup adalah penderitaan. Kesenangan hanya bersifat negatif. Kebahagiaan adalah tidak hadirnya penderitaan.

Demikianlah manusia dibelenggu oleh kehendaknya. Agar supaya manusia dapat bahagia, ia harus membebaskan diri dari belenggu kehendaknya dan dari perbudakan kehendak perorangan. Hal ini memang mungkin, sebab manusia dapat menjadi pelaku atau subjek pengetahuan yang murni, tanpa dibelenggu kehendaknya. Pengetahuan yang dapat diperoleh dengan cara demikian adalah kesenian, yang adalah karya seorang genius (genie). Kesenian adalah pemandangan terhadap segala sesuatu tanpa tergantung kepada kausalitas dan ketergantungan kepada kehendak. Seorang genius memiliki suatu daya untuk memnadang secara murni, yang tidak dimiliki manusia biasa. Dalam pemandangan di bidang  kesenian itu, manusia dibebaskan dari perbudakan kehendak, sehingga manusia mengalami keadaan yang mengatasi segala yang alamiah, yang bebas dari penderitaan. Dengan demikian, jalan kepada kebahagiaan ialah penyangkalan kehendak.

b. Family group tour (tourist family), is a tour dilakuakan group of families who still have a kinship with each other.

c. Group tours (tour group), is a tour conducted jointly led by a person responsible for the safety and needs of all its members. Usually at least 10 people, based upon a piece of the company's principals for the eleventh, namely between 25 to 50% of the cost of flights or lodging.

2). In terms of settings, there are divided into:

a. Pre-Arranged tours which is a journey away from the previous tour had everything well organized transport, accommodation, and the objects that will be visited. Usually governed by a special institution to manage and organize and communicate with all agencies or institutions associated with these interests..

b. Package tour which is a travel product sold by a company or travel agency transport companies collaborating with where the price of package tours have included travel expenses, hotel, or other facilities that provide convenience for the buyer. In other words, this tour package is a tourism product which is a composition which is prepared and sold travel in order to provide convenience and practicality in the leisure traveler.

c. Coach tours which is a excursion travel packages sold by travel agencies led by a tour guide and a tour organized by routines, remain within a predetermined period of time as well as travel routes.


d. Special Arranged that is a trip tailored specifically to meet the demand for one or more subscriptions in accordance with their interests.

e. Optional Tour which is an additional travel outside the arrangement that had been developed and agreed its implementation, at the request of subscription.


3).  In terms of intent and purpose, there are divided into:

a. Holidays tour which is a tour seminar was conducted and followed by its members in order to vacation, have fun and recreation.


b. Familiarization tour is a trip intended to find out more about the field or area that has a connection with his work. For example a travel agency that organizes overseas trips for his employees to Indonesia in order to recognize and then to provide better information about Indonesia, so that the package tour production may be sold easily.


c. Educational tours is a trip intended to give an illustration, a comparative study of knowledge or know the field of work he visited. Called study tour or travel requests knowledge.


d. Scientific Tour that is essentially the purpose of tour is to obtain knowledge or investigation of a certain field of science. For example excursions to see blooming corpse flower (Rafflesia Arnoldi), see a total solar eclipse in Java Tengeah June 11, 1983, investigating the lives of Komodo dragons, orangutans in Borneo, etc..


e. Pilgrimage tour which meant trips to conduct religious worship, for example Umrah trip by a travel agency PATUNA Consortium (Pantravel, Tunas Indonesia, and Natrabu), tours to Lourdes in southern France, the tour followed in Borobudur temple waicak- Pawon-Mendut, etc..

E.    VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF TRAVEL TOURISM


In an effort to meet the needs and tastes of tourists in order to obtain the satisfaction it gives birth to a new element to consider is the service factor. Preparing for services and products must comply with the demands for compliance kebuthan tourists. Thus arises the further specialization dala service and formed a distribution service by their respective supporters tourism industry.

Means of tourism can be divided into three main elements, namely:


1. Principal means of tourism (tourism main superstructure).
a) The general travel bureau and travel agents;
b) tourist transport whether by land, sea or air;
c) Accommodation (lodging);
d) Restaurant (catering trades);
e) The object of tourism, among others:
- The beauty of nature (natural amenitiea), climate, scenery, fauna and flora of the weird (Uncommon vegetation and animals), forest (the Sylvan elemens) and health centers (health resources), such as sulfur hot springs, mud baths, etc..
- Creation of human (man made supply) seperiti monuments, temples, art galleries, etc..
f) attractions (tourist attraction)
- Creation of human like art, festival, party rituals, traditional wedding ceremonies, circumcision, etc..
2. Complementary means of tourism (tourism supplementing superstructure):
- Recreation and sports facilities such as gold course, tennis court, spa, horse riding, photography, etc..
- Public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, electricity, airports, telecommunications, water supply, ports, etc..

3. Support facilities for tourism (tourism supporting superstructure):
- Night club and Steambath
- Casino and Entertainment
- Souvenir Shops, mailing service, etc.

Thus, the travel agency and travel agent is one of the main industry of tourism.

The main task is to form a travel agent instead of planning all aspects of travel, a subscription, and for that he should know really.

a. That he should be able to fully understand the needs of a customer who wanted to travel.
b. That he should decide, on the basis of experience and consideration, for not biased in choosing the transport company, hotel accommodation and excellent service to its customers in order presented.
c. That he should have direct knowledge or experience concerning the area to be visited by the subscription, because in the mind of a subscription, is a person in authority, who know the area so that travel plans are drawn up is a successful plan.
d. That he should strive to satisfy its customers that allows them to travel once again in the period not longer.

To perform its function as a tour organizer who managed the travel agency should have personnel who are knowledgeable, skillful and have the confidence (self-confidence is high).

One of which is the key to successful travel arrangements is if the travel agency that provides either of the tour guides. The guide is a communicator between the interests of the company with customers in the implementation of a tourism trip. He is also a public relations officer (public relations officer) for a company that represents travel agents. Is, in accordance with public relations sense, people who always maintains a continuous process (continuous) of business-management business (the company) to obtain the goodwill of its customers, employees, and the general public (the customer, pen.), Ie entered into the improvements to yourself, out by holding the claims.

Thus it is clear duties and responsibilities of tour guides need a specific job, the job is well educated and professionally trained (skilled and Trained personnel).

TITIK PUSAT LOGIKA

Kata logika bagi kita tidak asing lagi di telinga kita, ada yang menyebutnya berpikir logis, perhitungan logis, maupun keadaan logis. Semuanya itu memang ada kaitannya, tetapi dalam hal ini logika sendiri berasal dari bahasa Yunani kuno λόγος (logos) yang berarti hasil pertimbangan akal pikiran yang diutarakan lewat kata dan dinyatakan dalam bahasa. Dalam perkembangannya, logika sebagai salah satu cabang dari filsafat berkembang membentuk sebuah ilmu, yang dikenal ilmu logika. Sebagai ilmu, logika disebut dengan logike episteme (Latin: logica scientia) atau ilmu logika (ilmu pengetahuan) yang mempelajari kecakapan untuk berpikir secara lurus, tepat, dan teratur. Ilmu disini mengacu pada kemampuan rasional untuk mengetahui dan kecakapan mengacu pada kesanggupan akal budi untuk mewujudkan pengetahuan ke dalam tindakan. Kata logis yang dipergunakan tersebut bisa juga diartikan dengan masuk akal.

Namun, apa yang menjadi titik pusat logika itu sendiri? Sebelum memasuki bahasan mengenai hal itu ada baiknya untuk mengenal dasar logika. Dasar penalaran dalam  logika ada dua, yakni deduktif dan induktif.

Penalaran deduktif, kadang disebut logika deduktif, adalah penalaran yang membangun atau mengevaluasi argumen deduktif. Argumen dinyatakan deduktif jika kebenaran dari kesimpulan ditarik atau merupakan konsekuensi logis dari premis-premisnya. Argumen deduktif dinyatakan valid atau tidak valid, bukan benar atau salah. Sebuah argumen deduktif dinyatakan valid jika dan hanya jika kesimpulannya merupakan konsekuensi logis dari premis-premisnya.
Contoh argumen deduktif:
1.    Setiap mamalia punya sebuah jantung
2.    Semua kuda adalah mamalia
Jadi, setiap kuda punya sebuah jantung

Penalaran induktif, kadang disebut logika induktif, adalah penalaran yang berangkat dari serangkaian fakta-fakta khusus untuk mencapai kesimpulan umum.
Contoh argumen induktif:
1.    Kuda Sumba punya sebuah jantung
2.    Kuda Australia punya sebuah jantung
3.    Kuda Amerika punya sebuah jantung
4.    Kuda Inggris punya sebuah jantung
5.    ...
Jadi, setiap kuda punya sebuah jantung

Dari kedua dasar penalaran logika itu, ternyata di dalamnya ada sebuah konsep metodis yang membawa pikiran manusia ke dalam hubungan yang logis, akni hubungan antara kesimpulan dan bukti atau bukti-bukti yang diberikan (premis). Inilah yang dinamakan titik pusat logika atau inti dari logika. Yang menyatakan bahwa kesahihan (validitas) sebuah argumen ditentukan oleh bentuk logisnya, bukan oleh isinya.

Adapun kegunaan dari logika itu sendiri, diantaranya :
1.    Membantu setiap orang yang mempelajari logika untuk berpikir secara rasional, kritis, lurus, tetap, tertib, metodis dan koheren.
2.    Meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir secara abstrak, cermat, dan objektif.
3.    Menambah kecerdasan dan meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir secara tajam dan mandiri.
4.    Memaksa dan mendorong orang untuk berpikir sendiri dengan menggunakan asas-asas sistematis
5.    Meningkatkan cinta akan kebenaran dan menghindari kesalahan-kesalahan berpkir, kekeliruan serta kesesatan.
6.    Mampu melakukan analisis terhadap suatu kejadian.
7.    Terhindar dari klenik , gugon-tuhon ( bahasa Jawa )
8.   Apabila sudah mampu berpikir rasional,kritis ,lurus,metodis dan analitis sebagaimana tersebut pada butir pertama maka akan meningkatkan citra diri seseorang.

WHAT AGE IS THE SUN?

The question of when sun goes out is a difficult question to answer with certainty, especially if it must prove its truth.


But just as human curiosity to know how old the earth or when the formation of this earth, then the expert wits to try to estimate when the sun goes out.

As has been explained in advance, that the sun will be extinguished when the sun thermonuklir reaction has stopped. When the sun goes out, then life on earth will stop. Have been able to prove empirically that there are stars shining brightly at first, but then the more its light dimmed and finally extinguished. This situation has been recorded by the hubble space telescope. On this basis it can be just the sun at some point will be extinguished.

A German physicist, Hermann von Helmholtz, in the year 1825 turned out to observe the development of the solar diameter of sun each year shrank 85 m. If Helmholtz's observations is true, then the calculation of depreciation based on the diameter of the sun, the age of the sun will only last for up to 25,000,000 20,000,000 years from the sun experienced shrinkage.

For that period, Helmholtz's theory is quite satisfactory to the scientists, before finally aborted by thermonuklir reaction theories that persist to this day.

On the basis of theory, of course thermonuklir Helmholtz theory to be incorrect, because in fact the sun has been shining since the order of 5,000,000,000 years ago or even more than that, an age that exceeds the estimate of Helmholtz.

Thermonuklir reaction proposed by Hans Bethe as has been described above, in fact similar to conventional chemical reactions in the sense that the reaction can still be going on during still available elements or reactants which cause the reaction process thermonuklir.

In thermonuklir reaction occurring in the sun, as the main reactant is hydrogen gas. Astronomy and astrophysics experts argue that with increasing age of the sun, hence the use of hydrogen for reaction thermonuklir in order to get a very, very hot energy grew older.

In this event the energy generated by the reaction thermonuklir also increased, so that the radiant energy emitted by the sun also grew. This also means the temperature of the earth's atmosphere will rise and the earth will be felt more and more heat.

If the opinion of the experts of astronomy and astrophysics is correct, ie with increasing age of the sun will make the supply of hydrogen gas on the solar surface is reduced, then it is clear that sooner or later the sun will eventually be extinguished.

Based on this theory of solar radiation energy is estimated to still be able to survive for a period of approximately 10,000,000,000 years, after the sun goes out.

An example of a star is currently in the process leading to the situation goes out, has the image can be recorded by the Space Telescope Hublle. This empirically shows the possibility that the same could happen to our sun.

But what will happen before 10,000,000,000. year? 


In theory the way to the time of 10,000,000,000. , the temperature of the earth's atmosphere will keep rising due to energy radiation coming from the sun to get hot. This situation will cause the ice in the north and south poles will melt resulting in tenggelammnya some land or shoreline shifts landward. Cities that are on the beach will be drowned. This is just the beginning of a disaster for human life on this earth. The next disaster is to evaporate all the water existing on earth, because the temperature of the earth's atmosphere the more heat that ultimately there is no water on this earth. Earth dried completely without water and hot temperatures cause the termination of life on this earth. This situation occurs near the time approached 10,000,000,000 years to come.

At the time the sun runs out of hydrogen gas reactants, the reaction thermonuklir really going to quit and this means that the sun goes out. The sun has gone out of this will dim; into small icy planet called "White Dwarfs" or the white dwarf is not the sun again!

Example of a star or planet that has become a "white dwarfs" in the universe is quite a lot, one of the stars on the planet is currently heading the death as recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Once again, these circumstances will occur 10,000,000,000 years to come. Description This is an answer to the question of when in the sun thermonuklir reaction stops or the sun goes out.

WEIRD SHARK FROM WATERS OF TOKYO BAY

On January 25, 2007, a rare goblin shark caught by fishermen in the bay of Tokyo. This living fossil died 2 days later. With the head of a strange and scary teeth, this fish has attracted attention of scientists from around the world. Here's a brief history of these mysterious ancient sharks.



Only a few of which can be known from this monster that is usually only stay in the oceans. Goblin shark named scientific Mitsukurina owstoni is an ancient shark that were previously considered extinct. He can instantly recognizable from the shape of his head which has a long bulge out from the forehead. Besides the scary teeth adorn his mouth. Goblin sharks can grow up to 3.3 meters long and weighing 159 kg.


This shark is generally found only in the deep ocean, far below the sunlight, more than 200 meters below sea level. They can be found in the waters around the world, from Australia to the Gulf of Mexico. But those who know them mainly from Japanese waters, a place where modern science to find them for the first time.

The first discovery of these sharks can be traced to the year 1898, when one specimen was caught in the Sagami Sea, near Yokohama, Japan. It is estimated there are about 24 species associated with these sharks. Japan's scientific name is smelly, Mitsukurina owstoni, was first given by David Jordan who received the first specimen of this fish from a zoologist named Kakichi Mitsukuri Uiversitas Tokyo. While owstoni name of respect for a collector named Alan Owston wild creatures who also obtained this fish from a Japanese fisherman.
