Energy-efficient cars (Semar) made in Indonesia

Energy-efficient cars (Semar) made in Indonesia following the international arena Shell Eco Marathon (SEM) in 2010 which will be held in Sepang, Malaysia, July 8 to 2010.

''In a later competition cars targeted Semar Alloys made of aluminum and fiberglass body can travel about 1,000 kilometers with a liter of gasoline,''

However Semar car brought to the governor's office may only be covered 400 kilometers on one liter of gasoline and a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour. Car for about 37 kilograms of weight, total length of 2.7 meters, total height of 0.8 meters, the total width of 0.88 meters, 0.68 meter wheel base, body surface area 2.48 square meters.

''We've made the car lighter Semar again that is about 27 kilograms, more simple and comfortable and driver can be more energy efficient, which can cover the distance in 1100 miles or equivalent to the distance from Anyar to Panarukan, with only one liter of gasoline, however the requirement for the riders weight must not exceed 50 pounds.

In addition, another advantage of these vehicles is to have a very unique body, shape of the airfoil, applying the principle of 'perforated suction' to add keaerodinamisan vehicle, and using simple technology, but appropriate.

Semar's name stands apart from the Shell Eco Marathon, also from the name of one puppet character worthy, intelligent, and describes the characteristics of Indonesia. Read More

Indonesia has about 500 archaeological sites under water

Research to document Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC) was completed in 2004. The study of other documents from the Netherlands, Portugal, China and other countries in 2005, Indonesia has about 460 archaeological sites under water. Nevertheless, the National Committee survey of the origin of Valuable Artifacts Cargo Ship Sink (BMKT) in 2008 has found only three sites. Organization of Education, Science, and Culture of the United Nations or UNESCO states, Indonesia has about 500 archaeological sites under water. The study of VOC documents there are approximately 274 sites under water.

Hundreds of ships since the 7th century until the 19th century allegedly drowned in the waters of Indonesia and he brought the items into objects of cultural heritage (BCB). Although permissible, BCB's appointment must meet the rules of archeology.

Indonesia has so far not yet have distribution maps BCB underwater heritage. Existing ones, since three years ago, the company originated in Portuguese, Arqueonantas Worldwide, the last three years has been doing underwater archaeological survey, the sample area in the waters of Bangka Belitung. if research is done, Indonesia would have a distribution map BCB underwateri.

Nunus Supardi said, Indonesia has become a busy shipping lane since the 7th century. Sailing time using simple technology and equipment so often happened boat accident.

A small number of suspected many ships sunk, said Nunus, among others in the Coral Keliputan and Crocodile Island (Riau), Kepulauan Seribu (Jakarta), Black Stone, (Pacific Islands), territorial Cirebon (West Java), West Kalimantan, and elsewhere. Read More

Biogas from Eichhornia crassipes

Residents claim this biogas is more efficient than LPG because it is not cost money. The fire resulting from water hyacinth biogas as much as LPG and can be used for culinary purposes.
Some people think water hyacinth plants harmful weed species and useless. Apparently, water hyacinth is used Kertasari Village residents, Rengasdengklok, Karawang, West Java, Indonesia, as a new alternative fuel for cooking. We have about six heads of families in the village has been utilizing the biogas from the plant called the Latin Eichhornia crassipes.

This gas-making process begins by cutting the stems and leaves of water hyacinth. After that, pieces of water hyacinth is inserted into the reactor tube is made of two drums joined together. This process takes seven days to produce gas from decomposition of water hyacinth. So, for seven days, the gas from the decay of water hyacinth will flow into the reactor tube for later accommodated in a special tube.

In order to not run out of gas, a powerful tube fermentation capacity was filled with 80 pounds on a regular basis. A total of 30 kilograms of water hyacinth on the drum fermentation, can only be used in a day. Especially, when used continuously.

APMI Nur, one of the citizens of biogas users in Karachi, said for making all the devices, he spent only Rp 700 thousands. This sum for buying three drums, hoses and regulators. The tools are then assembled by means of welding. With the use of alternative fuels from water hyacinth is expected to save the use of kerosene fuel and LPG in excess.

One of the typical cuisine of Ternate, Indonesia is gohu ikan.

Ternate is a group of islands of North Maluku, Indonesia, one of Ternate cuisine is gohu ikan.
Reference to be complete: gohu ikan. You see, if only called gohu, then the meaning is rujak young papaya is also popular in North Sulawesi. Ternate Gohu typical fish is made from raw tuna. No wonder many people call it as sashimi Ternate.

Apparently, in the coastal areas of North Sulawesi - for example in Bitung - can also be found serving like this. His name is just reversed: gohu fish. Perhaps this is the freshness of the dish that made the name which means rujak gohu.

Generally, in Ternate, gohu fish made from tuna (yellowfin tuna = Thunnus albacares). When the tuna was not in season, tuna (skipjack) can also be used - even if the texture is not as smooth as tuna.

Fresh tuna meat (read: raw!) Diced, washed, then coated with salt and lemon juice cui (a kind of fragrant lemon and deep yellow-orange), then mixed with roughly chopped leaves balakama (basil). Red onion and cayenne pepper (called rica gufu in Ternate) coarsely chopped, and saute with a little coconut oil. Hot coconut oil with onion and chilli was then poured into a piece of raw tuna. Then sprinkled with fried groundnuts rough ground.

If you've been to Hawaii, you probably never met a dish like this. The difference, there did not use cayenne pepper and fried peanuts. Hawaii kemanginya alias replaced with wakame seaweed. This popular dish in Hawaii with onopoke name.

I also never found a very similar dish with this fish gohu - minus the cayenne pepper - in General Santos City, southern Philippines. There, this popular dish called kinilauw. Apparently, the fish dishes such as Ternate gohu has become typical or traditional island communities. Kinilauw wearing only a cut of tuna cube, covered with salt, mixed with roughly chopped onions and tomatoes, and lime juice dikucuri.

Gatang Kenari
Talk about culinary Ternate, most people would immediately call gatang kanari (crab crab crab crab =). In the past, I've tasted a crab that looks like this ancient animal. Now, crab crab is listed as protected animals. Strangely, there is still ambiguity to enforce this rule. It is said, for the sake of tourism, a few restaurants in Ternate get special permission to serve food from the crab crab.
Surprisingly too, there are two Presidents of the Republic of Indonesia (I noted his name for personal gain!) Are very fond of crab crab. Local government officials were reportedly often carried by the crab-crab to their superiors in Jakarta - as if the rules on environmental protection does not apply to the officials.

Crab crab prices are quite expensive. Super-size (about 2 pounds of live weight), valued around Rp. 350 thousand. For the rich, so prices are meaningless. Understandably, one kilo of Wagyu beef cost about Rp. 700 thousand. That is, the price of crab crab is so "cheap" will not save it from extinction.

Some restaurants often claim that they provide the crab crab cultivation. This is a hoax. Crab crab ditangkar difficult. Now, most of the crabs caught in the wild canaries in Halmahera, and then sold to a special restaurant in Ternate.

Crab crab is a smart land animals picking and peeling coconuts, and make their favorite foods. That's why crabs are considered more tasty crab and sweet crab meat than usual.
Please, do not believe in this myth. My recollection is - based on experience of eating it decades ago when the animal is still legal - hard texture, and it was a bit uninteresting. For me, crab Tarakan which weighed about one kilogram much more sweet and smooth texture. The price was certainly cheaper.

When he stopped to Ternate yesterday, I got hosted by a family who were to hold the wedding event. In a luncheon, I saw a long lontong and yellow rice is provided at the dinner table. Komo Lauknya fish (tuna) grilled with a variety of sauces, among other things: pickled sauce, soy sauce, and peanut sauce. Ternate people's favorite vegetable is eggplant fofoki alias. Baked or fried eggplant, halved, and then given a coconut milk sauce topping.

Sauteed kale and papaya flowers are popular in North Sulawesi general also served in Ternate. There is also ULAK-ULAK very similar to Karedok in Tatar Sunda. Ulak-ULAK wearing cabbage, long beans, cucumber, red onion, chili - all raw and finely chopped, then doused with peanut sauce and lemon juice cui. There is no feeling like the most Karedok kencur Sundanese. But, feeling generous red onion taste pretty sour-spicy.

In that event, I am very impressed with boboto fish. In Java, the name almost similar, ie Bothok. In Ternate, boboto can be made from fresh fish or smoked fish, and also can be made from chicken meat. Fish or chicken with a mixture of finely chopped walnuts (diulek some subtle, some coarsely chopped), wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. Canary really make sense of this dish can not be forgotten.

Almost all involve cooking Ternate walnuts - both as a spice ulek, and coarsely chopped. Understandably, North Maluku is an important producer of walnuts. Pidis sour fish sauce (spicy!) Also use chopped walnuts. There is also a popular drink with the name guraka water (water ginger) with a sprinkling of chopped walnuts on top. Sprinkling walnuts on this guraka water reminds me of the French tradition that sowed sangraian pine-nuts in hot tea. Walnuts give extra savory flavor.

Pupeda
Ternate has a tradition of great food after Friday prayers ended. Usually, the mosque of people rushed home to gather with family lunch. Some more hilarious stalls go eat with friends.
One of the lunch tradition on Friday is eating pupeda (in Maluku and Papua called papeda) - namely sago cooked with water, shaped like a glue-like starch. Pupeda generally eaten with fish sauce soru. Who cooked for the sauce is usually a fish soru Afternoon (smoked with fire gonofu aka coconut fiber). Soru is acidic. Clear liquid, with a sour-spicy tones, and the smell of fish Smokey asr. Hmm, impressive.

Behind Gamalama Market, there are several popular pupeda shop for the citizens of Ternate. In the shops, in addition soru sauce, also available a variety of side dishes on the table provided. Similarly pupeda and kasbi (boiled cassava), sweet potato stew, and boiled bananas - all provided at the table. The guests ate buffet style, and to pay Rp 25 thousand per mouth full.

Pupeda eaten with gravy soru. While other carbohydrates eaten with a vegetable wax (vegetable in Jakarta known as egg Terubuk), grilled fish, fofoki coconut milk, vegetables GARO (sauteed kale and papaya flowers), and others.

Cheapest digital radiographic tools

Physics Research Group Image (GRFC) Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences University of Gadjah Mada (UGM) Yogyakarta find digital radiographic equipment. This finding was a patent from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR Director General) Department of Justice and Human Rights, dated October 19, 2009, with the number P00200500737.

If the previous X-ray equipment that we know in the medical world to film rontegen use, and very expensive. There is now new technology worth up to USD 4 billion, but our work is of no use the technology side of the film, but digital, the price was even able to save about Rp. 3 billion more.

This research team consisted of four researchers FMIPA the Bayu Gede Suparta, IK Swakarma, I Putu Dharmayasa, and I wayan Sudirata. Researchers are also Kempat UGM lecturer is successfully developed a new digital radiography technology. Development of the instrument through the addition of several components of the X-ray equipment X-ray generator, image converter and komputerisasinya system.

According to him, save the country up to Rp. 3 billion is calculated from the price of finished goods abroad reached Rp. 4 billion. But with the combined efforts of goods in the country, the team only spent around Rp 1 billion.

According to the used goods are basically not much different with radiographic equipment that has been around for this that is generating X-rays or X-Ray, fluoroscopy and radiography system.

Two tools from the previous technology and keep us maintain these two tools that produce many, if you buy the retail price is approximately Rp. 500 million only. The core of this discovery is that we find a control device digital radiography systems. This tool that converts analog to digital technology, this is the only one in Indonesia.

With this tool allows automatic control. Apart from that surplus, another advantage is the saving electric power used. Once the image is able to reach the 20 images. The use of X-ray dose is very low due to a one-time shots that produced 20 image.

Not only that, assembled in the country with 70 percent local content, even the operating costs and system costs are also cheaper. In these patents GMU has exclusive commercial rights for 20 years.

Given these findings, the hospital continued to the fore in Indonesia may choose a relatively inexpensive tool with high accuracy. UGM as the party expected the patent holder can take advantage of these opportunities as well as possible. Especially relevant scientific development and overall utilization reach communities.

BTS with solar energy

Difficult to get a supply of electricity for the operation of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in remote areas Mr. Iwan Chaerul to develop alternative energy use for the base stations in addition to electricity. BTS with alternative energy sources solar light energy is obtained with the use of solar panels on Senayang Island, Kepulauan Riau - Indonesia. Operation of the 132 base stations with solar panels most of Asia.

The use of solar panels as alternative energy sources is an attempt to ensure the availability of power supply required for operation of the BTS. Especially for remote areas where the availability of electricity is still very minimal. Moreover, parts of Indonesia is an archipelago with geographic variations different, "said Iwan Chaerul in his press conference in Jakarta, Thursday (18/2/2010).

Iwan explained the use of solar panels as an energy source BTS is very possible and suitable to be applied to the construction of base stations in areas with poor electricity supply. Claimed solar panels capable of supplying electrical energy for 0, 115 megawatts as found in conventional base stations to the source of electrical energy or diesel-fueled generators. "Almost 100 equivalent to a conventional generator set 20 kVA," he said.

Source of solar energy with solar panels, says Iwan, base stations capable of supplying energy to three days. This is included with the purposes of charging a spare battery operated at night when no sunlight.

"Solar panel that we use 140 square meters wide. It's able to meet the electricity needs of the BTS to three days. Longer than any other solar panel that only lasted 24 hours," he said.
Costs for operation and maintenance of this solar-paneled BTS also, says Iwan, far cheaper than the base stations that use generators. The operator simply spending more for the procurement of solar panels and the rather broad area in the early development of BTS. "Later in the operation we do not need anything other than maintenance costs," he said.

In the meantime, he said, the use of solar panels is more appropriate to base stations in remote areas. While in the big city, is relatively less suitable because of land costs far more expensive since solar panels require a broader area.

Regarding investment issued for the construction of 132 base stations are solar-paneled, Iwan said the total cost required sekitae Rp. 60 to Rp. 100 billion. "In the future we plan to have 39 solar panels more base stations," he said.

Ceremonial Ngaben - Bali - Indonesia

Ngaben generally defined as a cremation ceremony, despite the etymological origin, it was not right. Because there is no tradition Ngaben through cremation. Ngaben fact, comes from the word meaning beya costs or provisions, said this in a sentence beya active (doing work) into meyanin. Meyanin word has become the standard language for mentioning wadhana sawa ceremony. Can also called Ngabeyain. These words then spoken by a short, become Ngaben.

Meyanin Ngaben or in any other standard terms mentioned in the palm is atiwa-atiwa. Atiwa said the program could not find their origins, probably from the original language Nusantara (Austronesian), considering this type of ceremony we also met at the Dayak, in kalimantan called tiwah. Similarly, we hear the Batak tibal called to mention that the ceremony after the death.
Ceremony Ngaben or meyanin, or atiwa-atiwa also, for Hindus in the mountains known as the Tengger entas-entas. Entas words remind us of the main ceremony in Bali Ngaben. Namely Tirta pangentas serving to break up the love of the atma (spirit) with the physical body and deliver to the natural pitara atma.

In other languages in Bali, which connotes soft, it is called Palebon Ngaben derived from the word meaning prathiwi dust or dirt. Thus Palebon means making prathiwi (ash). To make the land there are two ways ie by burning and planted into the ground. But how to burn is the fastest.

Places to process a land called arealnya called pemasmian and tunon. Tunon tunu comes from the word meaning to burn. While pemasmian derived from the word meaning Exterminate destroyed. Another Tunon Setra or she is increasingly. Setra means tegal while increasingly comes from the word meaning smasana Durga. Goddess Durga bersthana in this Tunon.
Among the above opinion, there's one more opinion-related question. Ngaben said that it comes from the word "fire". Said the fire had presfiks "ng" to "ngapi" and have the suffix "an" becomes "ngapian" that after experiencing the password to "ngapen". And because there is a change phoneme "p" becomes "b" sound changes according to law "bpmw 'then becomes" Ngaben'. Thus Ngaben word meaning "to fire".

The fire is here is Brahma (the Creator). That means atma the dead through ritual Ngaben will lead the Brahma-loka linggih as a manifestation of Brahma in Creating Hyang Widhi (utpeti).
Indeed there are two types of fire used in the ceremony of Fire Ngaben scale (concrete) is the fire that used to burn the corpse or the death and pengawak Fire Void (abstract) derived from the Vedas The Sulinggih as the work of burned pemuput impurities that attach to the spirit . This process is called "mralina".

In between the two types of fire in the ceremony that Ngaben, was higher and the absolute value is important is timeless fire or flame praline that emerged from the Sulinggih. The Sulinggih (the muput) will appeal to Lord Shiva to come down into the body (Siwiarcana) to do "pralina '. Maybe because the fire is considered more absolute praline / important, in some mountainous areas in Bali have Ngaben ceremony without having to burn the bodies with fire, but enough to bury him. Ceremony Ngaben this type is called "when tanem or mratiwi". So there was also a ceremony without the use of fire Ngaben (scale). But the timeless fire / fire praline still used by Vedic Sulinggih and facilities and Tirtha Tirtha pangentas praline.

Apart from the issue of fire which is more important. Specifically about the presence of fire scale is functioning as a tool that will accelerate the melting process sthula sarira (gross weight) derived from the Five Mahabutha to blend back into the Five Great Mahabhuta this universe. The process of acceleration of the return of the Panca elements Mahabhuta will certainly accelerate the purification process also atma to get to the nature Swahloka (Dewa Pitara) so that the corrected proper dilinggihkan / Mrajan to worship. Of course, after the ceremony "mamukur" which is a continuation of "Ngaben".

Philosophical Basis
Human beings consist of two elements is physically and mentally. According to human Hinduism ituterdiri of three layers namely Raga Sarira, Suksma Sarira, and Antahkarana Sarira. Sports Sarira is rough body. Body born of passion (ragha) between the mother and father. Suksma Sarira is astral body, or the subtle body consisting of mind, feelings, desires, and passions (love, Manah, Indriya and Ahamkara). Antahkarana Sarira is a cause of life or Trance Atma (Spirit).
Sarira or Ragha human body consists of roughly five mahabhuta elements prthiwi ie, apah, sratumarga, slave, and akasa. Prthiwi the ground element, namely the body parts of a solid, substance Liquid apah is, the body parts of a liquid, such as blood, lymph, sweat, milk etc.. Teja is the heat of the fire (temperature), the emotion. Bayu is the wind, which is the breath. And the Akasa is the ether, the body element that makes the finest hair, nails.

The process of Ragha Sarira or body is roughly as follows: sari-sari Panca Maha Bhuta available in a variety of foods taste consists of six so-called sad sense of Madhura (sweet), Amla (sour), Tikta (bitter), Kothuka (spicy ), kyasa (Sepet) and lawana (salted). Sad think is eaten and drunk by humans, which is processed in the body in addition to power, he became kama. Kama bang (Ovum / egg) and white kama (sperm). In the second kama pesanggamaan met and mingled through the condensation menjadilah he fetus, the baby's body. The rest became nyom water, blood Lamas (kakere) and the placenta.

Kama second mixture can be a fetus, when the atma in or out to them. It is said that this atma kama element into the mix is, when mother and father in a state of forgetting, in the sense of fun to enjoy. Besides the Panca Maha Bhuta which later turned into a fetus Panca Tan also joined Matra, which is fine seed of the Panca Maha Bhuta. Panca Tan Matra in the fetus a baby is also process itself into Suksma Sarira, namely Citta, Manah, Indriya and Ahamkara. Citta consists of three elements is called the Tri Guna, namely Sattwam, Rajas, Tama. These three elements form the human character. Manah is the nature of thoughts and feelings, desires and indriya nature is ahamkara natural self. These elements is called Suksma Sarira. This transparent nature can record and accommodate the results done by the controlling body Citta said. This marks a later charge for the Atma (spirit) which will go to nature Pitra.

When the man had died Suksma Sarira with Atma will leave the body. Atman which had so long united with Sarira, the confines of Suksma Sarira, it's hard to leave the agency. And the body can not function, because some parts are damaged. This is a misery for the Atma (spirit).
For not too long hindered atma gone, need bodies at roughly upacarakan to speed the return to the source, nature of the Panca Maha Bhuta. Similarly, for the atma have made the ceremony to go to the nature Pitra and its ties with the agency decided to rough. This process is called Ngaben.

If the ceremony is not performed Ngaben within a period long enough, the body would be roughly germs, called Bhuta Cuwil, and Atmanya will mendaptkan Hell, as described:

"Yan mapendhem ring wwang die prathiwi salawasnya tan-kinenan Widhi widhana, yellow byakta Bhuana matemahan rogha, Haro Haro gering mrana ring rat, etemahan gadgad"
Means

"If the dead buried in the ground, selamnya not diupacarakan diaben, really will be a disease of the earth, chaos in the world mrana pain, became gadgad (body) ...."

Ngaben main runway was five frame of Hinduism called Panca Sradha or five beliefs are:
1. Belief / Brahman: Brahman is the origin of the creation of the universe and its contents, including humans. He is also the ultimate goal is the return of all creation. In Arjuna Wiwaha Kekawin briefly formulated by the sentence Sangkan Paraning Dumadi as long as he does and the return of the universe and all its contents. Based on this belief, the ceremony was conducted with the aim to restore all the elements that make man into their home. As well as the goal of Hinduism is Hita Yes Moksartham Universe Ca Iti Dharma, which means that the ultimate goal of Hinduism is to attain Moksha. Where Moksha can be defined as the process of merging of Atman with Brahman or Atman with Brahman Aikyam terms, the concept of Hinduism is to re-unite with the creator (Brahman / God), in which God is the origin of all life.

2. Atman (soul): The belief in the existence of Atman in each human body. He who raises all creatures, including humans. Atman is a small drop (Atum) of Brahman. A center after it was time, he will return to the sacred origin, atma need purified. This is what requires the ceremony.

3. Karma: Human life can not get away from work. Work was encouraged by suksma sarira (Budi, Manah, Indria, and Aharalagawa) each job will berpahala. Work is good (Subha karma) berpahala good also. Working Poor (Asubha karma) will result in ugliness as well. This karmic reward will be a burden will return keasalnya atma. Even more bad karma fruit. He is the atma that will load into the nature threw down (Hell). Therefore, people need to try to free him. For the Yogi he was able to free his sins without the help of facilities and other infrastructure. But for the ordinary man, he needed help. The things is what causes the need for Ngaben ceremony, which was one of its aspects will redeem and sanctify these sins.

4. Samsara: means suffering. Atma repeatedly born into this world. Gratitude if the birth becomes the main man, or at least be human. It is very suffer when born into an animal. Therefore Ngaben ceremony to be carried out, which one of his goals is to release the atma to be returned to their home. This is symbolized by Tirtha pangentas and escape characters such as rurub awning, recedana, and others.

5. Moksha: means eternal happiness. This is what makes the foundation for all human beings. And this is the goal of Hinduism. Moksa attaining it, atma must be purified. His sins should be released. Attachment to worldly need to be disconnected, then finally he must be united with its source. This is a basic concept Ngaben ceremony, and last memukur Dewa Hyang Ngalinggihang on Kamulan or Mother objected Dengen. This implies together with the source Atman (Kamulan Kawitan) or in other words to reach Moksha (although this is just business and fantasies pretisantana).

Elements Metaphysics in Ngaben
After knowing the purpose and objectives and philosophical basis. The author will try to express metaphysical elements contained in Ngaben ceremony. Departure from ontology (general metaphysics) which attempted to answer the question and held a general description of the existing structures or the absolute reality applies to all types of reality (that is). The fundamental reality is believed to be the source and meaning of it by Sontag (1970:4) referred to as the "main principles" (the first principle). Every philosopher or flow in first understand the principles used in ways that are different, therefore in our philosophical approach to find a few models, from the traditional to the most contemporary. The approach was developed from the model of thought kosmosentris, theosentris, anthropocentric, logosentris, and to gramatologisentris. Each has its own character, point of departure, perspectives, and different orientations.
Has been determined that the ceremony Ngaben regarded as "symbolic delivery atma (soul) to the natural Pitra (heaven)". The process of natural delivery to Pitra atma is the main principle then poured through the symbol of the ceremony called Ngaben. Therefore, "the process of delivery of atma (soul) to the natural Pitra (heaven)" is a first principle in ontology Ngaben ceremony.

Basic Law
Ngaben is one of the traditional Hindu ceremony that goes into the scope of Pitra Yajna ceremony. Where is the Pitra holy Yajna is an offering to the ancestors. Yajna Pitra Pitr derived from the word meaning ancestors, who came yajna vein yaj word that means sacrifice. Ancestor is the mother father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and others that are straight lines up, which we reduce. We exist because the mother and father. Mom and Dad there because Grandpa and Grandma, and so on. So we're there for their services. We have been indebted to them. Debt to the ancestors is called Pitra RNA. This debt must be paid, to pay the debt to the ancestors by performing the yajna Pitra. So Pitra yajna is a debt payment to the ancestors. This is the legal basis of the Yajna Pitra it.

Ceremony in honor of ancestors in Hinduism Sradha familiar with the term. This is described in the Dharma Sastra Menawa as follows: "Pitra Yajna ceremony you have to do every day should be done by presenting sraddha rice or with water and milk, with tubers. And thus he please the ancestors. "(MDSI82).

Type - type Ngaben Simple

Mendhem sawa means of burial. Explained in advance that Ngaben in Bali are still given the chance to be postponed temporarily, citing things like that have been described. But beyond that there are philosophical reasons again, which in the manuscript has not found palm. Perhaps this reason is associated with their composition of foundation or philosophical background of this life. The reason is that sarira ragha derived from elements while prthiwi be ducked in the first prthiwi. Ethis which is described so that they can smell prthiwi mother.

Ngaben Adventurous
Adventurous is Ngaben Ngaben held with lively, full laden with equipment upakaranya ceremony. The ceremony was laden Ngaben require financial support and sufficient time to prepare everything. Ngaben laden sawa done well against the recently deceased and to have dipendem sawa. Ngaben full of new sawa dead Prateka called Sawa. While Ngaben loaded against sawa dipendem ever called Sawa Wedhana. Both prateka and sawa sawa wedhana need bebanten equipments and other supporting facilities are very large or many. All were prepared in a long time and require large power tillers. That's why the second type is called Ngaben Ngaben Laden.
Condition of Hindus in the past
In the past, much less before the time of independence, Hindus are very weak condition. Agriculture community as they are very low income. Understanding of Hinduism is very low. Even more so when it was still taboo religious teachings to be studied in general. Wera away motto that people misinterpreted haunted mind. As a result of understanding Hinduism is very low. Incorrectly interpret the notion Ngaben which is identical to Ngaben Ngabehin. If you do not have large funds people will not dare Ngaben. The people did not know there was a simple Ngaben form. Then they rarely Ngaben. If there was anyway they would class Ngaben Mekel, feudal class, the family castle, or Geria.

From time to time, too many people Ngaben. But collectively, either by ngiring (go / passenger) in the castle or any Geria; sometimes from people who think a little forward, carrying out collective Ngaben called Ngagalung. Usually sponsored by banjar. As a result of all that, sawa ancestors had been buried. For years even decades. This is certainly contrary to Ngaben principle.

Hindus conditions present.
Society now has measuki era of industrialization. Bali is especially tourism industry. Industrial society is a society full of bustle. Increasing people's income. Understanding of religious teachings have also increased, the ceremony became more lively. With higher income, the more enthusiastic in carrying out his religious worship. Hinduism for the religious ceremony, including Ngaben just looked more lively. Every man dies most diaben. There are simple and take Ngaben some that take full pengabenan type. Other side effects result from the impact of the tourism industry, is the narrowing of the time. Life mutual cooperation as the past in danger. If there is a Ngaben neighbors, he came uninvited to help work. But now without the law he would not come. If you're asked to, at best, can help 1 to 2 times only. Thank God for the Hindu community in Bali still has Banjar. Banjar is a reliable traditional institutions to maintain unity and mutual assistance. Through banjar Ngaben Hindus who can expect help its citizens. Only a couple of times they can ask for mutual assistance banjar. Apparently banjar institution is still very effective to help the implementation Ngaben.

The types of Ngaben Adventurous:
Ngaben kinds depending on the type Adventurous sawa (bodies) which is diupakarakan Sawa Sawa Prateka and Wedhana.

1. If sawa who had just died diupakarakan called Prateka Sawa. Sawa is the type Ngaben Prateka to sawa (bodies) who died have not been given the funeral. If the conclusion is that atma or urip leaves the body, then sawanya like diupacarakan bath home, sprinkled tirta archers, tarpana food served, with the first atma sent back while on his predecessor. So right at home sawanya the diupakarakan. This is called Sawa Prateka.

2. While the sawa who had been buried (in pendhem) and in aben called Wedhana Sawa. Sawa is the kind Ngaben Wedhana done to the bodies which have obtained the funeral service (ngurug). The sawa which have been planted in his name makingsan Setra, entrusted to the ground. Atman is held by Bhatari Durga. Setra leadership. Sawa prihalnya thus planted. At the time it was called pengupacarakan sawa sawa Wedhana. Three days before pengabenan there upakarannya called ngulapin. Sawa has been dipendhem called tawulan. Tawulan no longer participate diupacarakan this tawulan replaced with pengawak, which is made of sandalwood or wood mejegau the length of a cubit lengkat. And the width of four fingers. Cendana is painted the puppets in place of sawa. Pengawak called sawa karsian. This type of ceremony Ngaben also called Sawa Rsi.

According to the way the division Ngaben
In addition to the distribution by type Ngaben Ngaben above both simple and Ngaben Ngaben loaded, there are unisex division Ngaben views of how implementation is:

1. Ngaben Jump
Jump Ngaben means that this ceremony was performed immediately after the person died. This is usually done for those who may be able to say its economic affairs. In general Ngaben ceremony of preparation requires a long time, at least about 10 days, and even then if the "good days" based on Balinese kalerder count can be determined / selected. While it is usually dead by the dead person would first preserved, either by freezing (ice), or with other chemicals.

2. Bulk Ngaben (ngerit)
As the name suggests mass Ngaben conducted together with many people. In each village in Bali usually has its own rules for this event. Some do every 3 years, there is also every 5 years and there may be others. For the poor, this is a very wise choice, because business costs, so can be minimized. Usually those who have died the family, will be in the grave first. At this mass Ngaben event, the grave was dug up again to collect something that was left of the corpse. Time bone or the other, will be collected and then burned.
Next Ngaben ceremony procession, after cremation, the ashes were then thrown into the sea. Ceremony followed by pick-up the spirits of the sea, before finally placed in the temple of each family. This is usually as described are at the other about the family temple in Balinese Hindu communities, in addition to its function to worship the god also for worship his ancestors.

Whether or Adult Day Ngaben
Intrinsically good time (adult) is an existence repleksi of major natural influences (Buana Agung) of the natural life of the small and nature (the macrocosm) it. The existence of major natural influences on human life and the consequences of interconnected influences really noticed by every Hindu in doing business primarily in the yajna ceremony, in this case Ngaben.
Northward movement of the sun or the earth keselatan of dots in accordance with human vision, as can be seen throughout the year brought a major influence on life on Earth, born bathin. Movement of the sun that is the benchmark in science pesasihan it wariga. And pesasihan a principal basis of the adult, especially adult Ngaben full.

When we consider the situation shifts Sasih caused the sun to the north to south (in view of the human) it will terlihatlah parts-Sasih Sasih and its usefulness for the ceremony what exactly, according to the instructions in the lontar in Bali.

Ngaben Ceremony at the Village Trunyan Bali.
Located on the edge of Lake Batur surrounded by cliffs and hills, the village has many unique Trunyan as an ancient village and the Bali Aga (original Balinese). It is said that there was a Taru tree that smelled of incense is very fragrant. The smell of Queen Cede encouraged to come Pancering Jagat odor source. He met with Ida Ratu Ayu Dalem Pingit around trees Landung pine forest. That's where they married and then accidentally witnessed by Landung forest villagers who were hunting. Taru incense that has been transformed into a goddess who is none other than the wife of Queen Ida Pancering Jagat. Before formalizing the marriage, the Queen Cede bringing people Landung Pine village to set up a village called Taru incense which gradually became Trunyan. The village is located in District of Kintamani, Bangli Regional Level II. Apparently not all Hindus in Bali Ngaben to solemnize the body burning. In Trunyan, the body was not burned, but only placed in the graveyard. Trunyan ancient village which is considered as the village of Bali Aga (original Balinese). Trunya has many unique and the highest charm is unique in treating the body of its citizens. Trunyan has three types of graves which, according to tradition Trunyan village, the three types of graves that were classified by age of the deceased, the integrity of the body and how funerals are:

1. The main cemetery is considered the most sacred and most well known as Wayah Setra.
The bodies were buried in this sacred tomb was the body of his body intact, no disability, and death of the body which is considered normal (not a suicide or accident).
2. The second cemetery is a special young cemetery reserved for babies and adults who are not married. But still with the body condition must be intact and not deformed.
3. The third cemetery is called Sentra Bantas, especially for the disabled body and who died because of the starch and starch behavior (died unnaturally eg accident, suicide).
Of the three types of graves are the most unique and interesting is the main cemetery or sacred graves (Setra Wayah). This cemetery is located about 400 meters in the northern part of the village and bordered by the bulge of the cliff foot of the hill. To bring the bodies to the cemetery must use a special small boat called Pedau bodies. Although known to be buried, but the unique way of burial is known as mepasah. Bodies that have diupacarai according to local tradition placed just above the hole as deep as 20 cm. Some body from the chest up, left open, not buried in the ground. The body is only limited by food shelf made of bamboo to form a sort of cone, used to enclose the body. In Setra Wayah have grave 7 divided into 2 groups. Two holes for a village headman corpse without disabilities is located in the upper reaches and there are still lined up after the 5 second hole this hole that is for ordinary people.
If the hole is full and no more new bodies will be buried, a long body is raised from the hole and then the bodies that occupy the hole. Long bodies, placed just at the edge of the hole. So do not be surprised if the Setra Wayah-tengorak scattered human skull should not be planted or removed. Although not conducted with Ngaben ceremony, funeral ceremony Trunyan village tradition is in principle the same as the meaning and purpose of the death ceremony performed by Hindus on the other Balinese. The ceremony was held to pay debt service on the child's parents. Debt is paid in two stages, the first paid with good behavior when parents are still alive and the second stage when parents die series with ritual behavior in the form of funeral ceremony.

Tayuban dance is a traditional art-Indonesian Javanese

Dance invitation from a woman dancer is Tayub symbolized by the laying of the neck scarf male audience. The men who had been tied with the neck seledang can not refuse the dancer. For his services, then the dancers will get the money tayub / Sawer. More Sawer given, then the dancer Tayub longer berjogetnya. They continued to dance to the accompaniment of one unit of Javanese gamelan music beats, kenong, kempol, gong suwukan, trumpet, drums and angklung. In addition, the dancers are also Tayub singing songs or poems like gurindam Java that contains sage advice, are like the advice to develop good household.

Tayub or Tayuban dance is a traditional art-Indonesian Javanese, Art is very popular among the Java community because it looks attractive, dynamic, aesthetic and expressive. By using a special dress old Javanese tempo, such as the use Jarit (long cloth for clothing subordinates) and dileher tied scarves, the women danced with tayub dancers so graceful to entertain and invite the audience dancing.

In this context, according to the interpretation of the writer, the arts can be classified into two forms. First, art has a pattern. In this category, art born from the womb of the priyayi more patterned and structured than the alit art. Second, art is not patterned. In this context, folklore is deemed not to have a clear pattern. This is reflected in the language and symbols used by the alit far from a strict culture of the palace. Regardless of whether the art is also Tayub tangible manifestation of the legitimacy of the nobility, remained Tayub art is a worthy aesthetic claimed as art in the context of Java. Because the reality of this art is has become a prima donna among the people of Java.

Nevertheless, the unfortunate was the emergence of negative stereotypes of the majority of Indonesian people who are always attached to this art genre, Tayub. Elements of art that makes women as the dominant element is still regarded as a defect of the social structure of Indonesian society that his patriarch culture is very strong. In this context, the patriarch of women in society is always placed in an inferior place, while the men are in a more superior.

Negative stereotypes that make art Tayub increasingly marginalized in the life of Javanese society today. If not, the essence of the art Tayub has faded, lost era exposed to flow. In other words, art that initially served as an entertainment art nuanced aesthetic values high culture has been turned into art erotic functions that serve only as mere lust and fulfilling. By highlighting certain aspects, such as sensitive side in women, such as? Sorry? the chest of a woman who was slightly ajar. So, we, too often see this dance no longer displays the essence. Poems that initially contains sage advice turned into songs that negative connotation.

Whereas, in the study etymology, Tayub meaningful? Arranged guyub ben? , Arranged in order to create harmony. This meaning is the essence of art to be displayed Tayub. However, bad image or a negative stereotypes that have been attached to Tayub as ingrained in the joint Indonesian society. Tayub to the public, only seen from the negative side, became an art dirty, low quality and tend erotic. Reality is what the art of cornering Tayub, so stamp art in the form of art Tayub actors, namely dancers Tayub (ledhek) and gamelan players are not artful art.

In general, many Javanese art of nuanced mystical, one of them is Tayub. That said, the women use the medium Tayub dancers or mystical ways, such as the use of the implant as a tool in attracting the allure of the audience or spectators. Moreover, his audience was the wax-man. Whether true or not, yet in reality, the art was kept Tayub mystical dimension. This mystical dimension lies in the Javanese gamelan unit used as a dance music Tayub. In Javanese society, creation and maintenance unit of the gamelan has always been a sacred ritual. For example, this mystical dimension has been represented by Sekaten tradition in the palace of Yogyakarta. In upara Sekaten, two sets of gamelan (Kanjeng Nagawilaga and Kanjeng Kyai Kyai Guntur Madu) became a symbol of the sacred rites performed.

Mystical dimension to the art Tayub, eventually deliver us to the understanding that art is more accurately described as folk art rather than art palace. Magical and mystical symbols that exist in this art is typical of the abangan culture, namely the edge of the culture is not strong religiusitasnya. Such understanding, implicitly this means that art can not be accepted and flourish in society at large. This means that this art can only grow in a limited locus. However, this does not mean that art is not worthy to be called as an artistic entity. Because, after all, according to Kuntowijoyo, the so-called works of art is born or traditions of a particular group.

Meanwhile, Ignas Kleden defines art as a work of art containing elements of fun and full of the value and norms in society. Thus, when referring to the thinking Ignas, provided that this art still maintaining the essence attached to values and norms of Java, of course, a very worthy Tayub be claimed as an art. Read More

Each area has a tradition to respect the death in Tana Toraja itself has two major traditional ceremonies are Rambu Solo 'and Rambu Tuka. Signs Solo 'is a funeral, while signs Tuka, is a housewarming ceremonies of the new custom, or who had just completed renovated.

Signs Solo 'is a show very festive tradition in Tana Toraja, because it takes days to celebrate. These ceremonies are usually held during the day, when the sun began leaning to the west and usually takes 2-3 days. Even up to two weeks for the aristocracy. Her own grave is made at the top of the cliff at the height of the rock.

Because according to the trust Aluk To Dolo (Tana Toraja people's confidence first, before the entry of Christianity and Islam) among the people of Tana Toraja, the higher the body was placed, so the sooner his soul to paradise. This ceremony is for each community group must be different.

When the nobleman who died, then the number of buffalo that will be cut for the purpose of the event was far more than for those who are not royal. For the royal family, the number of buffalo may range from 24 to 100 water buffaloes.

While middle-class residents are required to slaughtering buffalos 8 plus 50 pigs, and long ceremony about 3 days. But, before the amount was insufficient, the body should not be buried in the cliffs or in high places. Hence, the body often stored for years in Tongkonan (Toraja traditional house) until finally the family of the late / deceased can prepare the sacrificial animals. But for adherents of Christianity and Islam today, the body can be buried in the ground first, then dug up after the family is ready to perform this ceremony.

For people Tana Toraja, the dead person does not in itself a degree of the dead. For them before the ceremony Rambu Solo 'then the person who died was regarded as a sick man. Because the status is still 'sick', then the man who died had to be admitted and treated like people who are still alive, like with her, providing food, beverages and tobacco or betel. Things that are usually done by a ghost, must continue to run as usual.

The body was moved from the funeral home to the first tongkonan (tongkonan tammuon), which is tongkonan where he came from. There is slaughter of buffalos 1 as a sacrifice or in the language Torajanya Ma'tinggoro Tedong, which is typical of the way Toraja slaughter, cutting buffalo with a machete with a single blow alone.

Buffalo to be slaughtered was moored at a rock called Stone Simbuang. After that, the buffalo had been cut and the meat distributed to those present.

The body was in the first tongkonan (tongkonan tammuon) just a day, then the next day the body will be moved again to be somewhat tongkonan up again, namely tongkonan barebatu, and even here, the procession together with the first tongkonan, the slaughter of the buffalo and the meat will distributed to the people around tongkonan it.

Signs show the entire procession Solo 'is always done during the day. That afternoon at around 11:30 Central Indonesian Time (Wita), we all arrived at tongkonan barebatu, because today is the day of the transfer of bodies from tongkonan barebatu to Rante (the field where the event took place).

The body was carried using duba-duba (bier typical Toraja).
In front there duba-duba-Lamba Lamba (long red cloth, usually located in front of the coffin the corpse, and in the procession pengarakan, the fabric is pulled by the women in the family). The procession of the body pengarakan tongkonan Rante barebatu to do after church and lunch.

It was only the spirits come close family carrying the coffin. The men who raised the coffin, while an attractive woman-Lamba Lamba. In pengarakan sequences are to be carried out, in the first place we would see people carrying a huge gong, and then followed by tompi saratu (or what we usually familiar with the banners), and right behind a row of saratu tompi tedong (buffalo) followed by Lamba Lamba-final and then duba-duba. The body will be interred in Rante (special field where the procession took place), there was standing loud (temporary houses made of bamboo and wood) that have been given a number. Loud itself serves as the home of relatives who came later. Because during the event they all did not return to their homes but staying in a loud voice that has been provided by the grieving families.

Funeral procession finally reached the Rante which will be placed in lakkien (tower where the corpse during the procession disemayamkannya progress). The tower is the tallest building in the loud-loud in Rante. Lakkien made of bamboo trees in the Toraja traditional house forms.

The body was laid on top before lakkien will be buried. Rante ready in two water buffaloes to be slashed. After the body arrived at the lakkien, the next event is the reception area, the relatives who came from around the country. In the afternoon after the procession finished reception, followed by entertainment for the family and invited guests who came, by exposing ma'pasilaga tedong (buffalo race).
