Oud Batavia

April 23, 2012 By: dee Category: think black

Batavia, www.adinegara.com. Kota (Indonesian: Kota Tua Jakarta), is a small area in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is also known as Old Jakarta, and Old Batavia (Dutch: Oud Batavia). It spans 1.3 square kilometres of North Jakarta and West Jakarta (Kelurahan Pinangsia, Taman Sari and Kelurahan Roa Malaka, Tambora). Kota is Indonesian word for “city”, it was the reminiscent of the vicinity during colonial times in 16th century that the city was only within Batavia walled compound (today Kota), while the surrounding areas was only kampung (villages), orchards, and ricefields. The largely Chinese down town area of Glodok is a central part of Kota. Dubbed “The Jewel of Asia” and “Queen of the East” in the 16th century by European sailors, Old Jakarta — or Batavia, as it was named by the Dutch — was once a center of commerce for the whole continent due to its strategic location and abundant resources.

In 1526, Fatahillah, sent by Sultanate of Demak, invaded Hindu Pajajaran’s port of Sunda Kelapa, after which he renamed it into Jayakarta. This town was only 15 hectare in size and had a typical Javanese harbour lay-out. In 1619 the VOC destroyed Jayakarta under the command of Jan Pieterszoon Coen. A year later the VOC built a new town named “Batavia” to honor Batavieren, the Dutch ancestors. This city was centered around the east bank of the Ciliwung river, around present day Fatahillah Square.

Prosedur Pengembangan Media Pendidikan

March 17, 2012 By: dee Category: think black

Jakarta, www.adinegara.com. Dilihat dari pengadaannya media dapat menggunakan yang sudah ada yang dibuat oleh pihak tertentu (produsen media) dan kita dapat langsung menggunakannya, begitu juga media yang sifatnya alamiah yang tersedia dilingkungan sekolah juga termasuk yang dapat langsung digunakan. Selain itu, kita juga dapat membuat media sendiri sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Disinilah diperlukannya perencanaan, jika kita memiliki media dengan cara membeli yang sudah ada, kegiatan perencanaan media tidak terlalu banyak dilakukan, cukup dengan mencocokan materi yang akan diajarkan dengan media yang tersedia.

Plastic Recycling Codes

March 12, 2012 By: dee Category: think black

Salemba, www.adinegara.com. So what do all those numbers and letters mean on plastic products:

Plastic Recycling Code 1 Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE). PET is clear, tough, and has good gas and moisture barrier properties. Commonly used in soft drink bottles and many injection molded consumer product containers. Other applications include strapping and both food and non-food containers. Cleaned, recycled PET flakes and pellets are in great demand for spinning fiber for carpet yarns, producing fiberfill and geo-textiles. Nickname: Polyester.

USES: Plastic soft drink, water, sports drink, beer, mouthwash, catsup and salad dressing bottles. Peanut butter, pickle, jelly and jam jars. Ovenable film and ovenable prepared food trays.

Potential problems: PET/PETE degrades with use, and wrinkled surfaces can host germs–as can backwash. PET/PETE bottles can contain trace amount of Bisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic chemical that interferes with the body’s natural hormonal messaging system. BPA has been linked to breast and uterine cancer, an increased risk of miscarriage, and decreased testosterone levels. his problem is amplified when the container is filled with hot liquids or exposed to high heat such as being left in a car.
