Turn of the year 2009 to 2010 seems to be characterized by the appearance of natural phenomena in the form a partial lunar eclipse and full moon. Eclipse is estimated to occur on January 1th, 2010 and lasted approximately one hour from 01.53 o'clock until 02.52 am.

Moedji Raharto as Senior astronomer from the Department of Astronomy Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) said, "the lunar eclipse and the phenomenon of moon will occur almost simultaneously. He said, "the phenomenon of the moon will appear at 02.14 am, while the top of partial lunar eclipse occurred at 02.23 am.

"This is not a phenomenon of the spectacular lunar eclipse, because only a small part of the month closing. But every eclipse for us on planet Earth is always different, and now this phenomenon has become interesting because along with the full moon welcomes the new year," Moedji told reporters in Bandung, Tuesday (29/12/2009).

According to Moedji, a partial lunar eclipse Saros series 115, will make the moon covered about 7.6 percent only. If the good weather, he said, eclipses and the moon can be seen by naked eyes after the night turn of the year from all regions in Indonesia.

Wow, the departement have a good idea! I said. This is an effort to increase the potential for improving the prospects of tourism of Indonesia. What is new7wonder.com?

In BBCIndonesia.com, this is the seven wonders of the world that is selected through a global survey in which a hundred million votes gathered from the internet, phone and SMS. One hundred million people give their voice in the global competition was launched in January 2007 by a Swiss foundation. It is launching in the gala ceremony in Lisbon Portugal on 07/07/07. The new ideas is oke! Peace...!

Fuse is the beginning of this list Antipater Sidon, which he described in a poem composed about 140 BC:.
"I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the Colossus of the Sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliancy, and I said, 'Lo, apart from Olympus, the Sun never looked on aught so grand."(Antipater, Greek Anthology IX .58)
(source: wikipedia Indonesia)

From pooling the results, the first option is the Great Wall China, which is called the only monument visible from outer space. The next is Petra, the ancient city in Jordan, which supported the family by the local kingdom. The statue of Jesus the Savior in Rio de Janeiro also comes in, after an appeal from the President of Brazil in order to vote. Two other winners from the Americas, Machu Picchu in Peru and Chichen Itza in Mexico. Two other miracle is Kolosseum described Rome as a symbol of suffering and fun, and the Taj Mahal in India.

Strangely, Egyptian pyramid only wonders of the ancient era still survive until now, not in the list as a candidate but called honor.

Now, departemen of culture and tourism of Indonesia invites us to give pooling to Komodo National Park as the 7 wonders of the world. Can it change to results of pooling on 7-7-2007?

National Education day

Happy National Education day May 2nd, 2009.

We know, the success of national education is the success of Indonesia children for future. Therefore, let us support the theme of national education day May 2nd, 2009. It is science, technology, and art education ensuring continuity development and improve competitiveness of the nation.

The dream of The Minister of National Education

In an event of SAVE OUR NATION in Metro TV last year, the MInister of National Education of RI, Prof. Dr. Bambang Sudibyo told a dream about goal of our education.

First, all schools have computer laboratory wich is connected to the internet;
Second, all teachers have laptop wich is connected to the internet;
Third, all students have laptop wich is connected to the internet

The begining of his impression to organization of Boedi Oetomo and two figure of education of Ki Hajar Dewantoro and KH Ahmad Dahlan and also struggle of education of his father and his father in law, our the Minister told that education is as effort to change potency to become actuality. All human are awarded by the potency and with the education hences the potency form to become real competention. That way, according to him, education is a methodologies for actuality of potency to become competention and inclusive of there is a change of destiny.

In this bearing, from all education components, teacher is the most dominant influence of education. Because teacher become mediator of student as one who facilitated to change potency, so become competention. For that, a theacher shall be a professional, so that born declaration of teacher as profession by SBY at Dec 2nd, 2004. One year later; it will be followed by law of teacher and lecturer.

Basically, a teacher profession is an occupation from somebody who have skill, educated and trained in teachership education. With considerations and logical policys, profession term interpreted by occupation which needs skill after he finish teachership education of strata 1 (S1) or diploma 4 (D4) and added with additional competention. And then, it appeared certification of teacher which must be followed by all teacher, civil worker or Non-civil worker.

Then, why does the Minister dream it? His answer, applying of information technology (IT) massly which is very needed at educational to go to e-learning. This is absolute. Teachers and also students have to be going with vision of forwards and IT has to be mastered.

Although I use computer of P4 and 1,5Gh connected with SE K300i phone modem and limited only, computerize system viewed is very supports studying and is not be extinct the teacher existence. Because, of self learning system (self learning materials or individualized system of instruction), teacher's ability is still needed, it is only slimmer and a few differing. Such as proposed by The Minister, all teachers is study consultant which facilitate student as subject of learning.

In America, originally of  the idea computerize is refused, because it will add unemployment. But, in pact ex employee can be accomodated in computer factory as effect of computerize, then the idea computerize is accepted by society (Hatfield).

Perhaps, most importantly of information technology does not change fundamental subject. It means, in one side left brain (short term memory) of human remain to be developed with reference to verbal and mathematical ability, on the other side right brain (long term memory) of human ever bring it to matter of creative, imaginative, and value.

Let us realize the dream of The Minister:

1. all schools have computer laboratory which is conected to the internet
2. all teachers have laptop which conected to the internet
3. all students have laptop which conected to the internet.
