GREEN ENVIRONMENT

2011-07-12T23:52:00.000-07:00

1) Pretend you are part of the orchard is large with many trees around. How do you feel being cut?-If I am part of a large garden with many trees around, I feel very sad if I cut. At first I felt very lucky because I provide protection to humans and animals as a shelter from the rain as the sun. I feel very sad. Although I can not speak, that does not mean I can not feel what is needed by humans and animals that are around me. I wonder, do they also feel what I feel? I am very disappointed because they did not feel what I feel. Pain, pain, misery and sorrow that I bear for their selfish and not think what would happen if the occurrence of widespread deforestation.

2) What will happen to all the animals that need protection from you?Effects on animals that need protection from me is a natural habitat for many animals and organisms will be affected and the occurrence of extinction as a result of homelessness. That's why, when there is a lot of deforestation, many animals that live in the jungle no shelter. Those who succeed through the flat lands and residential sites and then killed by humans.Through the years, it is estimated that there are millions of plant and animal species have become extinct because they have eliminated the homeless. Therefore, significantly reduced biodiversity as deforestation violent practices by some.The wildlife advocates have always warned that the number of wild animals living in the world could still be saved if deforested forests would only reforested and the practice of burning the forest and will be abandoned altogether.

3) What will happen to the environment after you cut?
-Environment will be affected by changes in temperature in the vicinity. Natural forest cool because it helps retain moisture in the air.
-The second is a long process of global climate change. As mentioned above, deforestation has been found to contribute to global warming or that process when climates around the world getting warmer more harmful rays of the sun coming through the atmosphere.
-The ozone layer is the mass of oxygen or O3 atoms that serves as a shield in the atmosphere to ultraviolet rays from the sun's dangerous. Because ozone is made up of atoms of oxygen, oxygen reacts with carbon monoxide. Reactions such will use oxygen atom.
-It follows that when there are more atoms of carbon monoxide into the atmosphere, the amount of oxygen is diminished. Such is the case of ozone depletion.
Third to the environmental effects will be above the water table below ground. Water levels are common sources of natural drinking water by people living around forests.
Water re-add table. This means that the groundwater supply can also be dry if not replenished regularly. When there is rain, forests hold much of the rainfall into the soil through their roots.

-The water sinks deeper into the ground, and ultimately help increase the supply of water in the water table. Now, imagine what happens when there is no longer enough forest. Water from rain alone will flow through the ground and not be retained by the soil.
-Or, the water from the rain will not stay on the ground, to the process of evaporation would immediately. Therefore, the water level is not replenished, leading to drying of wells.

4) What changes will take place in the environment after you cut?

The changes will take place in the environment after the cut are: -

Soil Erosion: When cleared forest areas, it causes the soil exposed to the sun, making it very dry and eventually, infertile, because of volatile nutrients such as nitrogen is lost. In addition, in the event of rain, it washed the other nutrients, which flows into the flow of rain water. Therefore, simply replanting trees can not help to solve the problems caused by deforestation, for a mature trees, the soil will not really have the essential nutrients. Finally, the planting of the earth will become impossible, resulting in a wasted land. Large tracts of land will be remain poor because of soil erosion.

Water Cycle Disorders: Trees contribute in a big way in maintaining the water cycle. They make the water through their roots, which are then released into the atmosphere. The bulk of the water circulating in the rain forest ecosystems, for example, remains in the plant. When trees are cut down cause dry climate in the area.

Biodiversity loss: a unique variety of geography, biodiversity is being lost on a scale quite unprecedented. Although tropical rain forests is only 6 percent of the Earth's surface, about 80-90 percent of the worldwide species exist here. Because of deforestation on a large scale, about 50 to 100 species are lost every day. Results of the extinction of animals and plants on a large scale.

Flood and Drought: One of the important functions of forests is to absorb and store large amounts of water quickly when there is rain. When forests are cut down, this is regulation of water flow is disrupted, leading to alternating periods of flooding and drought in affected areas.

Climate Change: It is well known that global warming is largely caused by emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. However, what is not known a bit and is that deforestation has associations with the production of the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Trees act as the main storage depot for carbon, because they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which is then used to produce carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that form a tree. When deforestation occurs, many trees they burned or allowed to decay, resulting in release of carbon stored in them as carbon dioxide. This, in turn leading to greater concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

5) The message you want to give to people cutting down trees.
A message that I will give to those who chop down trees is to stop destroying the forest, so precious to us. Forest is a blessing to the earth endowed with natural resources differently. Extensive deforestation means an increase in pollution, global warming, natural disasters such as floods and droughts. Moreover, they should stop for cutting of tropical forests. Because certain species of rebirth that will help about the flora and fauna. There are certain measures be taken to preserve the natural beauty of the whole
People must be provided with specific knowledge about the ecosystem of the earth so that people know the importance of trees and stop cutting trees illegally. It should be special programs for children can teach their elders how important trees to the existence of the earths. Children must be taught the importance of trees because children today are tomorrow's future. Education should not however stop among school children in the age, but must be continued to the top level, the parents should be taught preventive measures deforestation. However, education has become the easiest way to transfer messages. Saving the forest is the duty of the people around the world. Measures to be taken by people to save and preserve the forest.
To save the forests, eco-tourism should be encouraged so that people feel that the forest is important in attracting tourists to their country.

6) What do you think the use of technology to reduce and minimize the problem?

I think the use of technology to reduce and minimize problems that could increase deforestation solution. For example, recycling benefits the environment. By recycling, we could save the cost of living and take care of our environment. As mentioned earlier, recycling a single ton of paper can save nearly 17 trees from cuttings. Deforestation is a major cause of concern globally. In addition, issues such as soil erosion, acid rain, global warming, and others directly or indirectly connected to. So, you recycle, the more you contribute in making the earth greener.
After that, we can also save energy. Did you know that by recycling one glass bottle, we can save enough energy to light a bulb for 4 hours! Production of materials to use more energy than recycling the same materials. For example, cutting trees to make new paper will take more time and energy than recycling paper. Same case with the steel to take a lot of energy in manufacturing than recycling.After, the productivity of land cleared of rain forest can be obtained using better technology to produce higher crop yields.
- Taking advantage of better germplasm developed through a careful selection can produce grass and plants that will grow on degraded forest land. While technology can speed up development and reduce the suffering of the tropical rain forest, it will be one key to save them.

7) In your opinion, this blog will stimulate environmental awareness among the public. Elaborate.
In my opinion, this blog will stimulate environmental awareness among the public: -
   Blogger blogs can arrange a meeting to discuss the problem that bloggers have a strong influence. For example, discuss the problem of deforestation.
   -Blogs as a medium of advertising.
   -Blogs are also a bit of awareness to society of environmental damage.
   -Through the blog, we can organize a campaign to save the forests we have to give a message to the community. Not only that, but parties can be aware of our proposals as a guide to reduce deforestation and protect the surrounding environment is also living in the forest habitat.

GROUP ASSIGNMENT 30.06.2011 until 14.07.2011

Effects of Land Development to the Environment
Land conversion from forest to agriculture has resulted in widespread deforestation. Apart from reducing the amount of the original forests and forest biodiversity and wildlife, deforestation also contributes to soil erosion, sedimentation, damage to slopes and landslide in Malaysia
Continuing deforestation and deforestation in the catchment area will affect the water supply and quality of water resources, affect the ability of the ground water intake and cause more flooding in lowland areas.
Agricultural development support U.S. $ 30 billion in sales of pesticides each year worldwide. Approximately 40% of the total spent in developing countries to toxic compounds such as DDT, and organochlorine orgonofosfat.
According to Repetto and Baliga (1996), Malaysia is one of the most extensive use of pesticides most extensively in Asia. The amount of pesticides used per hectare of crops for 1992, reported 9.2 kg / ha which is nearly ten times the amount used in Thailand for the same period.
In addition to problems of water pollution due to intensive use, the people who use spray and machine operators spray the pesticide will be at risk due to exposure through the skin, particularly when using equipment that is perfect for mixing or spraying pesticides.

Economic wealth can be achieved from the development of the mining industry to reduce damage to the environment, not more than other forms of development. Many mining operations conduct environmental impact assessment.
A related mineral policy has been drafted to take account of environmental factors through the use of performance bonds and other physical measures. However, small scale mining and quarrying operations should be repaired immediately to the management of their environment.
Research shows that small-scale gold mine may interfere with the natural permanent water sources, causing severe sedimentation problems in downstream operations and result in acid mine drainage. In addition, sand mining operations in the plains as well as land reclamation and other development along the coast of the threat to marine ecology. Particularly coral reefs, mangroves and sea grasses along the shore of the fisheries resources.
Development of municipal and industrial development directly led to major changes to natural ecosystems compared with forest development, mining or agriculture.
Environmental issues related to urbanization and industrial development, is more complex and often more difficult to handle, This includes waste and sewerage, conservation of green areas in the municipality, an issue with the municipal heat and air and water pollution.

Sewerage and waste services have been privatized in Malaysia to improve its management. However, there are still concerns regarding the environmental impact of this facility. These include the possibility of groundwater contamination at the site the old municipal garbage to the surface which does not fit as well as river water pollution due to discharge of sewage from the settlements and sewage treatment facilities are inadequate.
The absence of a policy of mandatory recycling and lack of incentives to encourage the recycling of municipal undermine efforts to reduce waste. As a result some garbage in the open area will increase rapidly and the risk of water pollution and groundwater maybe will also increase.
Removal of the industry has made the problem of toxic and dangerous waste worse. This problem and its affecting human health is identified since the early 1990s. These problems include pollution of heavy metals, nitrogen and sulfur oxides, petroleum hydrocarbons, particulate substance, polychlorinated, biphenyls (PCBs), cyanide and arsenic.
Pollution of soil and groundwater due to industrial development should be described and classified in a more systematic in Malaysia. In an effort to provide control of dangerous and toxic waste that is effective, the industry should be required to keep records of the type and amount of waste produced by them and the date and how it is disposed. Because waste disposal is a high cost, requires special facilities and contractors, and subcontractors, they should be careful because the incentives to cheat so much.

Temperatures are generally higher in urban areas because the heat generated by the housing, transport and industry and thermal from buildings and roads. The temperature at night at the junction of Jalan Ampang, Jalan Tun Razak in Kuala Lumpur were found to increase about 4 degrees F between 1972 and 1980 due to the increased amount of traffic.
The temperature at night is also changed in the 3-4 degree will be recorded in residential areas. The old residential area with more green areas and tree growth is more moderate temperatures compared to new housing areas. Since the extinction of the green areas in the city must be stopped immediately.
Current requirements under the Town and Country Planning Act 1970 (Revised 1995) to retain all trees with a circumference exceeding 80 cm in any projects under development may contribute to the small state of conservation of urban green areas and control the temperature in urban areas.
Air pollution in urban areas is one example of Malaysia where it has exceeded a critical level and thus affect the potential for environmental self-cleaning. The main sources of air pollution in the Klang Valley is the motor that contributes to the carbon particles (PM-10). Other sources include industrial waste and construction activities (DOE, 1993)
Municipal also influence the level of total suspended particles (TSP) in air (DOE, 1993). Apart from transboundary sources within a certain period each year, the main source of TSP is open burning of residential and agricultural development. Air pollution in the Klang Valley will not be improved unless the control measures implemented immediately.

Poor Land Use Issues Raised

Categories of land law in Malaysia, as reported in the Report of the Land Capability Classification (Lee and Panton, 1971), including state land, the Land Awarded Title to Agriculture, Land Approved For Mining, Malay Reserve Land, Reserves To Animal Reserve, Orang Asli Reserve, Forest Reserve, Wildlife and Land Given Mlik / Gazetted for public facilities and other purposes.
The last category refers to land for urban development, the grave, police and military reserves, airports and other reserves of the government but does not include water catchment reserves.
Land Development in Malaysia include the development of new areas for agriculture, forestry and land conversion for industrial growth and urbanization. Increasing diversity of land use conflicts in relation to development goals. The rapid development has made the land a competition in Malaysia. It also led to poor land use practices in certain circumstances.

Poor land use practices can lead to serious problems and face barriers to development in the long run. Problems that may arise including the destruction of the remains on the ability of land to provide environmental and economic benefits, inefficient use of available natural resources and the accumulation of negative effects. In terms of area, agriculture will be one of the most extensive land development in Malaysia.
Modern agricultural techniques and practices, supported by the use of machinery and input large amounts of energy from fossil fuels has made agriculture more productive in the country but have an impact on the environment. Conversion of land from forest to agriculture has resulted in widespread deforestation, reducing the number and diversity of forests and forest wildlife biology.
In addition, opening new areas for agriculture has resulted in dwindling mineral resources in this area. despite the fact that most land has been reduced to agricultural development, most fertile soil is not used for food production, but used for other purposes such as housing, recreation and industrial area.

In addition, coastal and inland fishing is not so successful in the competition for land development which in turn undermine local food production. Efforts to promote food production and promote food-based industries should be strengthened in an effort to provide food security for the country.
Country's food import costs about RM8 billion reported a year and contributed to the current account deficit (NST, 1997). Given the current economic slowdown and currency crisis, the matter should be dealt with immediately.
Due to the increasing population in urban areas, increasing infrastructure development to the problem area and less appropriate. This area is often exposed to floods, river erosion, landslides and sedimentation, unless proper control measures are taken.
In some cases, control measures were not taken and the best way for the safety of the population is this area not be developed for housing but used for other purposes such as parks, nature reserves and recreation areas.
In 1996 there were 100 floods, 20 landslides, eight incidents and seven cases of sediment eroded river banks, reported in the Klang Valley alone. This underscores the need for integrated urban management strengthened to make human settlements safer and more secure.

Environmental Pollution
POLLUTION
Disposal of waste materials, uncontrolled can lead to environmental pollution. Pollution is a collection of materials that are not suited to life in our environment. Materials that do not fit are called contaminants.
Most of the pollution is caused by human activities. There are many different types of pollution:
(A) Air pollution
(B) Water pollution
(C) Soil

AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution occurs when there are contaminants in the air. Examples of these pollutants are dust,
dust, smoke and poisonous gases.
The table below shows the sources of air pollution and major pollutants produced.

SOURCES OF POLLUTION
Burning fossil fuels in factories and in motor vehicle engines
Burning rubbish and large-scale forest
Spraying of pesticides and chemicals
The use of chlorofluorocarbon gases (CFCs)

CONTAMINANTS
Sulfur dioxide gas, nitrogen dioxide, carbon and dust monoxide
Carbon dioxide gas and dust

Gas and toxic chemicals

CFC gases

EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION HARMFUL
1. When we breathe, the contaminated air entering the body and affect our health.
2. Dust and poisonous gases from factories, vehicle exhaust and spraying pesticides
disease if inhaled.
3. The disease is associated with respiratory and eye diseases.

Shrinkage of the Ozone Layer
1. Ozone layer is a layer that protects us from sun radiation.
2. The emancipation of CFC gases used in spray equipment, air conditioner in the refrigerator thin ozone layer.
3. This results in more sunlight reaching the earth.
4. Exposure to sunshine can cause skin cancer.

Formation of Acid Rain
1. The emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide combined with rainwater to form acid rain.
2. Acid rain can kill plants and fish.
3. It also eroded the clothing, paper and building materials.

The increase in temperature in the Earth
1. Carbon dioxide is too much in the air will trap heat.
2. So increasing the temperature of the earth warms and our environment.

3. This will cause flooding due to melting polar ice on earth, and drought in some parts of the world.

WATER POLLUTION
1. Source of water supply comes from rivers, seas, ponds and lakes.
2. Water can be contaminated by
        (A) the waste disposal plant
        (B) oil spills from ships
        (C) the removal of rubbish and excrement
        (D) soil erosion caused by logging and rampant construction.

EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

Affecting Health
1. Waste-sisakilang being dumped into the river water poisoned.
2. This is harmful to our health if the water used for drinking or bathing.
3. Garbage and excrement being dumped into the river is the growth of bacteria that cause disease.

Water Life Killer
1. The oil spilled into the sea to prevent entry of air into the seawater.
2. So plants and animals that live in the sea could not breathe and will die.
3. River water containing waste water plant also poison wildlife.
4. Accumulated debris and mud deposited in the water due to soil erosion to prevent the entrance
sunlight into the water.
5. This affects the growth of water plants.
Natural Beauty Worsen
1. The beaches are filled with garbage is not looking.
2. The river and the sea smell.

MARTIAL ART IN MALAYSIA

2011-07-02T21:21:00.000-07:00

MARTIAL ART

Art defensive (martial art) is an art which arose as a way a person is self-defense. It is the tradition of fighting with or without weapons, and often without using guns or other modern weapons. Martial art has long existed, and at first it grew on the battlefield before slowly when war has been reduced and the use of modern weapons began to be used widely, martial arts began to grow among those who are not soldiers but were civilian.

Martial arts can be said there is every where around the world and almost every country has a martial art developed either locally or modified from the martial art that seeps out. For example, martial arts is a martial art that flourished in the ASEAN countries and in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, danBrunei.

However, the relationship and communication facilities available at this time to facilitate the development of ideas and martial arts are no longer confined to the land originally, but has grown throughout the world.

Martial arts are divided into several types of armed combat art sharp, not sharp weapons such as wood, and the art of empty hand combat. Among the types of popular martial arts are as follows: -

1. Silat
2. Taekwondo
3. judo
4. Karate
5. wushu
6. kendo
7. Aikido
8. Kalaripayat
9. Silambam
10. Kung fu
11. Boxing
12. Capoeira

SILAMBAM

Silambam is a martial arts gifts, and ideal for Tamil people around the world. Pre Silambam researchers think that Art has existed since 5000 years ago, since pre-historic and pre-Aryan India. Thus Silambam art may be regarded as the oldest martial arts in the world.

Silambam Art is an art in the art of 64 set by the traditional Tamil society as we had to learn to become perfect. Yet art is not nature saintifif Silambam in the past. Over time has been to modernize and strengthen the arts in line with the interests of time. Exercises and techniques to turn the rod Silambam and so have experienced accuracy.

During the development of Buddhist religion, martial arts were brought to China and Japan by Buddhist monks in particular, Bodhidharma was defended in the city of art Sang han, State of Wei in Northern China.

Art Silambam has experienced rapid expansion in the early 16th century. It is a basic and important for physical strength in military training before being taught the sword arts. Art Silambam has expanded into Southeast Asia between 1000 hingga1500 years ago. This development is the result of Tamil kings of India who had traveled to the region.

At the end of the 14th century, Tamil workers from India to Malaya, Malaysia, the British colonial rule. These workers have been brought into Malaya Silambam art. However, teachers who have taught this art can be detected only since 1920 alone. During World War II-2, Silambam art has become especially popular in Kuala Selangor, Kapar and Klang.

Because this art is the art brought into the country from the outside, it is not recognized in law under western occupation. Thus Silambam art should be taught in secret, in the woods and places that are not traveled.

Art Silambam (What is Silambam)

Silambam means movement without weapons and weapons like wooden sticks, swords, spears and so on. Silambam is also defined as a talent competition, actions to intimidate others, tactics and turn the wood stick.

Early expertise in the art Silambam is "building a house." Here members will set the footsteps of the steps 16, 32, 64 and so to put the enemy under its control before the jump.
The following expertise is bending skills, agile, talents, and beatings by acting without moving the body and moves in four situations, namely the head, shoulders, hips and legs without a hand or both hands are tired.

Technique and Tactics

Silambam members of the enemy will not see the movement of enemy hands and feet. Instead, it will only observe the enemy's eyes only. This is to know in advance will be the movements of hands and feet that involves tactics such as cutting and pretend to be cutting, thrashing, back by pretending to throw and so forth.

A person who has become skilled in the art silambam can beat many people with a cane. He dropped the person using techniques such as measures monkeys, snakes measures, observations lion, frog jump, grab the eagle and others.

In addition there is the Silambam can jump up and standing on the tree and jump through the walls with staff feedback. When the rod is said Silambam, not any wood can be used. Hard bamboo or rattan is not split and scraped or scratched about 3 cm will be selected after observing the area, weight, robustness and flexibility. It will be immersed in water for some time. Next it will be slam on the surface of the water flowing and not flowing to improve robustness. Wood that has been completed will be cut as high as the potential use of Silambam.

This is because the design is not mere art Silambam. It was shaped by the tactics and techniques of animals such as tigers, snakes, bears, birds, elephants and others fighting in the jungles to defeat the enemy or to defend themselves. Modify the traditional Tamil society tactics and techniques as above animals according to the needs and abilities. They produce a variety of martial arts, including art Silambam not use weapons and using weapons.

WUSHU

Wushu or Kung Fu is a martial art that developed in China thousands of years ago. At the time of this martial art arises because there is a need of society to cope with disturbances and feeding wild animals.

In Chinese Wushu means martial arts. There are many schools of wushu wushu but broadly can be divided into two categories, namely Uay Kung (GWA Kang) and Nei Kung (Iwee kang). In Kung Uay element hardness greater (70%) compared to enervation. Meanwhile, Nei Kung is almost entirely using the enervation. STYLE OF dipertandingkan Taolu (demonstration) Kick Length (Changguan) South Jutsu (Nangguan) Taichi Kick Combination Machete (Daoshu) Sword (Jianshu) Spear (Qianshu) Toya (Gunshu) South Toya South machete Taichi Swords Sanhsu (free fighting)

FORMS OF HANDS

Wushu hand forms in three models: the fist (chuan), palm (designers), link (keuw), here are some models of hand shape. MOVEMENT sweep the forefoot (Qiansaotui) Side kick (Cetitui)

SILAT GAYONG MALAYSIA

Silat is the Malay art of combat is practiced since berkurun ago. In Malaysia the simple form of hundreds of college silat. There is teaching martial arts weapons such as long Malay dagger, the dagger, kerambit, machetes, swords, lading, crushed pepper, tek-pi, sticks, and sundang tembong. There is also a martial arts who devote teaching empty hand combat (unarmed). The types of silat (GENERAL)

divided to the martial arts that lead to art or flowers, fruit or both at once (and art pieces o'clock). But so many colleges to teach both of them all. Silat martial arts such as sticky rice is usually offered on the official and the crowd as weddings. Between types of martial arts is the art of Silat Gayong intentions, Art Kuntau Silat, Silat pulut Art, Art Hanafi and Silat tight range again. ARTS SILAT GAYONG

Arts Silat Grand Master Allahyarham Gayong founde by Dato 'Meor Abdul Rahman bin Uda Mohd.Hashim. He studied silat is the ancestor Syed Zainal bin Syed Idris Al-Attas. Syed Zainal also learn silat from Home Ambok Temiang Solok Island, near Jambi, Sumatra. Mat Kilau, Dato 'Syed Zainal Bahaman and as the story was ordered by Sultan Ahmad of Pahang hard to find on the island of Bangka, Riau, Indonesia. In Temiang Island, near the island of Bangka, their delegation met with Home Ambok Solok. Home Ambok Solok has generously revealed to the warrior Pahang Gayong knowledge so they can be used to defend their homeland soon. Due to time constraints, they make a promise to return to the island after conducting trust Temiang Sultan. On the way back to Bangkok, Mat Kilau kopak instructed to buy a gun in Singapore. Mat flash, Syed Zainal and Dato 'Bahaman sailed back to the Island Temiang as promised. They have sought knowledge Gayong for about two years from the Home Ambok Solok.

Martial Arts this Gayong believed to have existed since the days of the Malacca Sultanate and was used by the chief-commander of Malacca in the fight against the entry of Portuguese colonial rule. The original name of Martial Arts Martial Arts is a joint Gayong Tigers. Martial Arts Gayong has seven stages, namely: Site Gayong (start site silat), Art Gayong Site (site fraction Gayong), Art Keris (step warrior using a weapon), Art Simbat (how to play club or sword), Art Yoi (fruit shot), Art buy (silat silat tiger tear-tear of the way your opponent), and Art Cold Summer Nights (martial dance sentung cloth or scarf).

MARDI GRAS

http://news.travel.aol.com/best-of/what-is-mardi-gras/

Translated from the French, Mardi Gras means "Fat Tuesday." In short, it's the last day before the traditional Catholic Lenten fasting season leading up to Easter Sunday. For those cities that celebrate it – most famously New Orleans, Louisiana – Mardi Gras means feasts, multiple parades, elaborate costumes and parties. Though the celebration is defined by religious parameters, its roots stretch back to before Christianity.

What is Mardi Gras? Origin
Some scholars trace Mardi Gras' roots to the ancient Roman Lupercalia festival, which was held in mid-February. Like many other pagan holidays, early Church leaders incorporated elements of the celebration into the new faith rather than risk alienating converted followers. As Catholicism spread across Europe, so did the Mardi Gras celebration.

What is Mardi Gras? Coming to America
By the Middle Ages, Mardi Gras, or "Carnival," had become a major holiday in France, and early French explorers brought the tradition to the New World when establishing settlements in their explorations of the Mississippi River. With its strong French roots, New Orleans naturally evolved into one of the premier Mardi Gras destinations in the world.

What is Mardi Gras? Religious roots
In many cities and countries around the world, the Mardi Gras season starts well before Fat Tuesday. Traditionally, it kicks off on the Epiphany, twelve days after Christmas on January 6, also known as Twelfth Night or Three Kings Day, celebrating the arrival of the three wise men and their gifts to the baby Jesus. The season ends promptly at midnight on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, a season of fasting and abstinence leading to Easter Sunday. Some Christian sects measure the Lenten season differently, but most mark it for 40 days.

What is Mardi Gras? Eating a calf
The name "Fat Tuesday" comes from the tradition of eating a slaughtered calf on the final day of Carnival. These days, though, that definition has expanded to include feasting on pretty much any rich fatty food.

What is Mardi Gras? Around the world
Mardi Gras or Carnival is celebrated in many cities around the world besides New Orleans, including Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Nice, France; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But many small towns and municipalities celebrate Mardi Gras as well, including the tiny community of Rubonia, Florida. The Universal Studios Florida theme park also throws a Mardi Gras celebration on weeknights from February to April, featuring parades and concerts by national acts.

FASCHING

What is Fasching?

I'm sure you've heard of the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. It's been celebrated for centuries and is known world wide. However, many people still do not understand what Fasching is in Germany.

Fasching is Germany's carnival season. It starts on the 11th day of November at exactly 11minutes after 11am and ends at the stroke of midnight on Shroud Tuesday - often referred to as Fat Tuesday (the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday). Fasching is more or less a Roman Catholic and Christian Orthodox celebration and most Protestant and non-Christian areas do not celebrate it.

Fasching (also known as Karneval) is a time of festivity and merry making - a time to break the rules, poke fun at those who make them and then to make your own new rules.

In Germany, particularly in the Rhineland area, the tradition can be traced to medieval times where many countries existed under harsh rules. Kings, princes and even smaller potentates maintained their own courts. In doing so, they flaunted before each other their own pomp and splendor at the expense of their population.

During karneval time, the common people took a chance at 'living it up" and "talking back to their rulers". They would make a mock government of eleven people, as well as other officials. A price and princess were selected to rule the country during the Fasching season. Political authorities, high placed persons and sovereigns were the target of ridicule, and featured in humorous and satirical speeches. To avoid persecution and punishment, these antics were played out from behind masks and costumes. Parades, dancing in the streets, masquerade balls and comical skits filled the days and nights.

Karneval festivities have become annual events around the world. Also known as Fasching, Carnival and Mardi Gras, the most famous are located in the following places:

Köln, Germany
Nice, France
Trinidad
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
New Orleans, Louisianna

Nearly every town has its own festivities and it is celebrated in homes across the country with the same enthusiasm in which we celebrate Halloween. The Karnevals vary from area to area, but nomatter where the celebrations are held, there is fun, happiness, laughter and a certain nostalgia.

OBON http://gojapan.about.com/cs/japanesefestivals/a/obonfestival.htm

Obon is one of the most important Japanese traditions. People believe that their ancestors' spirits come back to their homes to be reunited with their family during Obon and pray for the spirits. For the reason, Obon is an important family gathering time, and many people return to their hometowns.

Obon was originally celebrated around the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. Obon periods are nowadays different in various regions of Japan. In most regions, Obon is celebrated around August 15th, and it typically begins 13th and ends 16th of August. In some areas in Tokyo, Obon is celebrated around July 15th, and it is still celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar in many areas in Okinawa.

Japanese people clean their houses and place a variety of food offerings such as vegetables and fruits to the spirits of ancestors in front of a butsudan (Buddhist altar). Chochin lanterns and arrangements of flower are usually placed by the butsudan.

On the first day of Obon, chochin lanterns are lit inside houses, and people go to their family's grave to call their ancestors' spirits back home. It's called mukae-bon. In some regions, fires called mukae-bi are lit at the entrances of houses to guide the spirits. On the last day, people bring the ancestor's spirits back to the grave, hanging chochin painted with the family crest to guide the spirits. It's called okuri-bon. In some regions, fires called okuri-bi are lit at entrances of houses to send the ancestors' spirits. During Obon, the smell of senko (Japanese incense sticks) fills Japanese houses and cemeteries.

Toro Nagashi (floating lanterns) is a tradition often observed during Obon. People send off their ancestors' spirits with the lanterns, lit by a candle inside and floated down a river to the ocean. Also, Bon Odori (folk dance) is widely practiced on Obon nights. Styles of dance vary from area to area, but usually Japanese taiko drums keep the rhythms. People go to their neighborhood Bon Odori held at parks, gardens, shrines, or temples, wearing yukata (summer kimono) and dance around a yagura stage. Anyone can participate in Bon Odori, so join the circle and imitate what others are doing.
Top Obon Events in Japan

Obon is not a Japanese national holiday, but many people take vacations during this time so that they can visit their hometowns. Especially, mid August is the peak travel season like Golden Week in Japan. Airports, train stations, and highways are jammed with travelers.

INTI RAYMI

Before the colonial Spaniards banned the ceremonial events occurring each Winter Solstice in Cuzco, the native residents gathered to honor the Sun God, sacrifice an animal to ensure good crops and to pay homage to the Inca, as the first born Son of the Sun.
The ceremonies took place at the winter solstice, when the sun is farthest from the earth. Fearing the lack of sun and ensuing famine, the ancient Incas gathered in Cuzco to honor the Sun God and plead for his return. The celebrants fasted for days before the event, refrained from physical pleasures and presented gifts to the Inca, who in return put on a lavish banquet of meat, corn bread, chicha and coca tea as they prepared to sacrifice llamas to ensure good crops and fertile fields.
In 1572, Viceroy Toledo banned Inti Raymi celebrations as pagan and contrary to the Catholic faith. Following the edict, the ceremonies went underground.
Today, it's the second largest festival in South America. Hundreds of thousands of people converge on Cuzco from other parts of the nation, South America and the world for a week long celebration marking the beginning of a new year, the Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun.
Every day has its events, from daytime expositions, street fairs, and people milling and dancing in the streets. In the evenings, live music from the best of Peruvian musical groups draws the crowds to the Plaza de Armas for free concerts. During the preceding year, in preparation for Inti Raymi, hundreds of actors are chosen to represent historical figures. Being selected to portray the Sapa Inca or his wife, Mama Occla, is a great honor.
The centerpiece of the festival is the all-day celebrations on June 24, the actual day of Inti Raymi. On this day, the ceremonial events begin with an invocation by the Sapa Inca in the Qorikancha, also spelled Koricancha (pictured) square in front of the Santo Domingo church, built over the ancient Temple of the Sun. Here, the Sapa Inca calls on the blessings from the sun. Following the oration, Sapa Inca is carried on a golden throne, a replica of the original which weighed about 60 kilos, in a procession to the ancient fortress of Sacsayhuamán, in the hills above Cuzco. With the Sapa Inca come the high priests, garbed in ceremonial robes, then officials of the court, nobles and others, all elaborately costumed according to their rank, with silver and gold ornaments.
They walk along flower-bedecked streets, to music and prayers and dancing. Women sweep the streets to clear them of evil spirits. At Sacsayhuamán , where huge crowds await the arrival of the procession, Sapa Inca climbs to the sacred altar where all can see him.
Once all the celebrants are in place in the grand square of the fortress, there are speeches by Sapa Inca, the priests and representatives of the Suyos: the Snake for the world below, the Puma for life on earth, and the Condor for the upper world of the gods.
A white llama is sacrificed (now in a very realistic stage act) and the high priest holds aloft the bloody heart in honor of Pachamama. This is done to ensure the fertility of the earth which in combination with light and warmth from the sun provides a bountiful crop. The priests read the blood stains to see the future for the Inca.
As the sun begins to set, stacks of straw are set on fire and the celebrants dance around them to honor Tawantinsuty or the Empire of the Four Wind Directions. In ancient times, no fire was allowed that day until the evening fires.
The ceremony of Inti Raymi ends with a procession back to Cuzco. Sapa Inca and Mama Occla are carried on their thrones, the high priests and representatives of the Supas pronounce blessings on the people. Once again, a new year has begun.
June 24 is also celebrated throughout Peru as Indians Day or Peasants Day.

Things to know:

Inti Raymi is an all-day event, with at least five hours spent at Sacsayhuamán. Entry to the fortress is free, and rental chairs are available from booths around the main square. There are also food and drink vendors. There are no guard rails on the ruins and every year people are injured in falls. If you want a reserved seat, they are available with tickets bought in advance.

Lodgings are booked far in advance for the festival week. Hotels and restaurants do a booming business. While you are there, it may be difficult to get an unobstructed view of the Inca method of building using stones and no mortar, but buy a visitor ticket which is valid for ten days and gets you into fourteen important sites in Cuzco.

SONGKRAN

Of all the feasts and festivals in Thailand, which are many, the Songkran Festival is the most striking, for it is widely observed not only in this country but also in Burma, Cambodia and the Lao State.
Songkran is a Sanskrit word in Thai form which means the entry of the sun into any sign of the Zodiac. But the Songkran in this particular instance is when the sun enters the sign of Aries or the Ram. Its full name is Maha Songkran or Major Songkran to distinguish it from the other ones. But the people call it simply the Songkran for it is the only one they know and in which they take interest. It is their traditional New Year when they can enjoy their holidays to the full with no economic hindrance. Songkran is a fixable feast on the solar calender. It begins on the 13th April and ends on the 15th April, but occasionally in certain years on the 16th April. The Songkran is in fact the celebration of the vernal equinox similar to those of the Indian Holi Festival, the Chinese Ching Ming, and the Christian Festival of Easter. The beginning of spring when the sun crosses the equator is now on the 21st of March which is due to the precession of the equinox. The Songkran Festival is in a certain sense like April Fool's Day, when the maids of the village play pranks on any gallant who happens to pass by their way. He will be caught and bound by the united strength of the maids and they will daub him with blacking.

Third assignment.

- SUPERSTITION IN THE WORLD –

Hello and Salam to all the reader. This time I will write about the Superstition in the world. Superstition means in malay Kepercayaan Karut.

What is means of superstition? Superstition means the person who belief in the ridiculous things. In Malay society, too many people are belief in nonsense thing like Sorcery or the magic power, polytheism, superstition or absurd belief, misfortune and so on.

The magic power or sorcery means the person who has the bad intentional to someone. To make this sorcery, person will ask for help from spirit of Satan and genie and then they will start their honour as a deity. They who do this thing have a promise with their genie or Satan. For the example of sorcery things is type of deadly poison made from human hair, picture or something else , call someone name and honour as a deity, ‘Nasi Kangkang’ married woman doing this for make his husband only love and respected him , ‘Minyak Dagu’ man who want the girl or woman his love but the woman not give attention yo them , ‘Minyak Pengasih’ is same like ‘Minyak Dagu’ but have little different thing , and so on. The person who has attack with this type of sorcery can have the remedy but it’s too difficult to find it.

get the 'belaan'

Polytheism means the person who believe in Allah s.w.t. but in the same time they are believe in other god or they will same the Allah with Allah creature. As a Muslim we can be like this because you will lose your ‘Iman’. So, be careful when you do some ridiculous thing.

Superstition or absurd belief is the person who has belief to ghost or it is called ‘belaan’. As a Muslim for sure we have to believe on unseen place or world but we can not to make them (ghost) as our friend. When we make them as our friend they will loyal to us but when you disregard them you will suffer. When they be your friends it is called it as ‘pendamping’ , ‘saka’ , ‘jembalang’ and so on. They are has so many types of name. Other than that, another superstition things like ‘mandi bunga’ , ‘mandi limau’ , ‘mandi minyak’ and so on. ‘Mandi Bunga’ are some ridiculous things who want to looks beautiful, to get their married partner, to get a job and many things other. 'Mandi Limau' are to throw away the unlucky things from your body. 'Mandi Minyak' are the way for someone to be impenetrable, to be strong, to be brave and so on.

Misfortune means look forward about your good or bad luck. Their who always doing this things actually their who not belief to their self and not believe in to the destiny. They think if they know about their good or bad luck they will prepared or ready for make sure it not happen or they will be ready for some thing their don't want.As a Muslim , we have to belief to destiny which is have writen about us when, where, what, who, and other. We have to remember that Allah not give what we can't accepted but Allah know what we can and Allah give to us as a test to seen how far our patient and our 'Iman'.

misfortune

So, as a Muslim we have to avoid our self far from the superstition things. Believe to Allah swt, confident to the destiny, and always make something with al-Quran guide.

sentence for avoid the superstition

Surah At-Taubah -128 to 129-

ME AND MY COLOUR

I like so many colour in my life followed with my situation and my emotional. Firstly, I like black colour combine together red colour because it seem interesting and applicable with any situation like when I feel angry, happy, sad, nervous and so on.

Other than that, I like blue colour. I will wear the blue colour when I want to meet someone or go for the interview because blue can make me calm down when I am in anger or stress.

Besides that, I have chosen pink colour for my engagement ceremony theme. It is because pink colour symbol effeminacy to me. So, i pick this colour to make me more effeminacy nature and polite social behaviour.

Also I have chosen brown colour for my wedding ceremony theme and white combine with green colour for my “akad nikah”. I choose brown colour for the wedding ceremony theme because this colour comfortable and matching with any types of skin colour and fresh and this colour not so feminine and not so mannish. And I choose the white combine with green colour for my “akad nikah” because this colour will make me feel better when i feel nervous for this ceremony and white is presenting the purity.

And my favourite colour is black + red , and nature colour.

Thank you and Salam.
