Menurut UU No. 25/1992 yang termasuk Perangkat Organisasi Koperasi adalah:

Rapat Anggota

• Setiap anggota koperasi mempunyai hak, dan kewajiban yang sama. Seorang anggota berhak menghadiri rapat anggota dan memberikan suara dalam rapat anggota serta mengemukakan pendapat dan saran kepada pengurus baaik di luar maupun di dalam rapat anggota. Anggota juga harus ikut serta mengadakan pengawasan atas jalannya organisasi dan usaha koperasi.

Pengurus Koperasi

Menurut Leon Garayon dan Paul O. Mohn mdalam bukunya “The Board of Directions of Cooperatives” fungsi pengurus adalah:

• Pemberi nasihat

• Pengawas atau orang yang dapat dipercaya

• Pusat pengambil keputusan tertinggi


• Simbol

• Penjaga berkesinambungannya organisasi


Pengawas

• Tugas pengawas adalah melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap tata kehidupan koperasi, termasuk organisasi, usaha-usaha dan pelaksanaan kebijaksanaan pengurus, serta membuat laporan tertulis tentang pemeriksaan.


Manajer

• Peranan manajer adalah membuat rencana ke depan sesuai dengan ruang lingkup dan wewenangnya; mengelola sumberdaya secara efisien, memberikan perintah, bertindak sebagai pemimpin dan mampu melaksanakan kerjasama dengan orang lain untuk mencapai tujuan organisasi (to get things done by working with and through people).

Pendekatan Sistem pada Koperasi

• Menurut Draheim koperasi mempunyai sifat ganda yaitu:

- organisasi dari orang-orang dengan unsur eksternal ekonomi dan sifat-sifat sosial (pendekatan sosiologi).
- perusahaan biasa yang harus dikelola sebagai layaknya perusahaan biasa dalam ekonomi pasar (pendekatan neo klasik).

Sisa Hasil Usaha (SHU)

1. Pengertian SHU Menurut pasal 45 ayat (1) UU No. 25/1992, adalah sebagai berikut :
* Sisa Hasil Usaha Koperasi merupakan pendapatan koperasi yang diperoleh dalam satu tahun buku dikurangi biaya, penyusutan dan kewajiban lainnya termasuk pajak dalam tahun buku yang bersangkutan.
* SHU setelah dikurangi dana cadangan, dibagikan kepada anggota sebanding jasa usaha yang dilakukan oleh masing-masing anggota dengan koperasi, serta digunakan untuk keperluan pendidikan perkoperasian dan keperluan koperasi, sesuai dengan keputusan Rapat Anggota.
* Besarnya pemupukan modal dana cadangan ditetapkan dalam Rapat Anggota.
* Penetapan besarnya pembagian kepada para anggota dan jenis serta jumlahnya ditetapkan oleh Rapat Anggota sesuai dengan AD/ART Koperasi.
* Besarnya SHU yang diterima oleh setiap anggota akan berbeda, tergantung besarnya partisipasi modal dan transaksi anggota terhadap pembentukan pendapatan koperasi.
* Semakin besar transaksi (usaha dan modal) anggota dengan koperasinya, maka semakin besar SHU yang akan diterima

2. Informasi Dasar Beberapa informasi dasar dalam penghitungan SHU anggota diketahui sebagai berikut.
* SHU Total Koperasi pada satu tahun buku
* Bagian (persentase) SHU anggota
* Total simpanan seluruh anggota
* Total seluruh transaksi usaha (volume usaha atau omzet) yang bersumber dari anggota
* Jumlah simpanan per anggota
* Omzet atau volume usaha per anggota
* Bagian (persentase) SHU untuk simpanan anggota
* Bagian (persentase) SHU untuk transaksi usaha anggota

3. Rumus Pembagian SHU Menurut UU No. 25/1992 pasal 5 ayat 1 mengatakan bahwa “Pembagian SHU kepada anggota dilakukan tidak semata-mata berdasarkan modal yang dimiliki seseorang dalam koperasi, tetapi juga berdasarkan perimbangan jasa usaha anggota terhadap koperasi. Ketentuan ini merupakan perwujudan kekeluargaan dan keadilan Di dalam AD/ART koperasi telah ditentukan pembagian SHU sebagai berikut: Cadangan koperasi 40%, jasa anggota 40%, dana pengurus 5%, dana karyawan 5%, dana pendidikan 5%, dana sosial 5%, dana pembangunan lingkungan 5%. Tidak semua komponen di atas harus diadopsi dalam membagi SHU-nya. Hal ini tergantung dari keputusan anggota yang ditetapkan dalam rapat anggota.

4. Prinsip prinsip Pembagian SHU
* SHU yang dibagi adalah yang bersumber dari anggota.
* SHU anggota adalah jasa dari modal dan transaksi usaha yang dilakukan anggota sendiri.
* Pembagian SHU anggota dilakukan secara transparan
* SHU anggota dibayar secara tunai

5. Pembagian SHU per Anggota •SHUA = JUA + JMA Keterangan: > SHUA : Sisa Hasil Usaha Anggota > JUA : Jasa Usaha Anggota > JMA : Jasa Modal Anggota Sumber: http://mpie-noviesblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/sisa-hasil-usaha-shu-koperasi.html

Koperasi Indonesia

A. SEJARAH KOPERASI DI INDONESIA

Koperasi adalah organisasi bisnis yang dimiliki dan dioperasikan oleh orang-seorang demi kepentingan bersama. Koperasi melandaskan kegiatan berdasarkan prinsip gerakan ekonomi rakyat yang berdasarkan asas kekeluargaan.
Dalam Penjelasan UUD 1945 itu dikatakan bahwa bangun usaha yang paling cocok dengan asas kekeluargaan itu adalah Koperasi. Tafsiran itu sering pula dikemukakan oleh Mohammad Hatta, yang sering disebut sebagai perumus pasal tersebut. Pada Penjelasan konstitusi tersebut juga dikatakan, bahwa sistem ekonomi Indonesia didasarkan pada asas Demokrasi Ekonomi, di mana produksi dilakukan oleh semua dan untuk semua yang wujudnya dapat ditafsirkan sebagai Koperasi.Dalam wacana sistem ekonomi dunia, Koperasi disebut juga sebagai the third way, atau jalan ketiga. Istilah yang akhir-akhir ini dipopulerkan oleh sosiolog Inggris, Anthony Giddens, yaitu sebagai jalan tengah antara kapitalisme dan sosialisme. Koperasi diperkenalkan di Indonesia oleh R. Aria Wiriatmadja di Purwokerto, Jawa Tengah pada tahun 1896. Ia mendirikan Koperasi kredit dengan tujuan membantu rakyatnya yang terjerat hutang dengan rentenir. R. Aria Wiriatmadja atau Tirto Adisuryo, yang kemudian dibantu pengembangannya oleh pejabat Belanda dan akhirnya menjadi program resmi pemerintah. Seorang pejabat pemerintah Belanda, yang kemudian menjadi sarjana ekonomi, Booke, juga menaruh perhatian terhadap Koperasi. Atas dasar tesisnya, tentang dualisme sosial budaya masyarakat Indonesia antara sektor modern dan sektor tradisional, ia berkesimpulan bahwa sistem usaha Koperasi lebih cocok bagi kaum pribumi daripada bentuk badan-badan usaha kapitalis. Pandangan ini agaknya disetujui oleh pemerintah Hindia Belanda sehingga pemerintah kolonial itu mengadopsi kebijakan pembinaan Koperasi.Meski Koperasi tersebut berkembang pesat hingga tahun 1933-an, pemerintah Kolonial Belanda khawatir Koperasi akan dijadikan tempat pusat perlawanan, namun Koperasi menjamur kembali hingga pada masa pendudukan Jepang dan kemerdekaan. Pada tanggal 12 Juli 1947, pergerakan Koperasi di Indonesia mengadakan Kongres Koperasi yang pertama di Tasikmalaya. Hari ini kemudian ditetapkan sebagai Hari Koperasi Indonesia.Bung Hatta meneruskan tradisi pemikiran ekonomi sebelumnya. Ketertarikannya kepada sistem Koperasi agaknya adalah karena pengaruh kunjungannya ke negara-negara Skandinavia, khususnya Denmark, pada akhir tahun 1930-an. Walaupun ia sering mengaitkan Koperasi dengan nilai dan lembaga tradisional gotong-royong, namun persepsinya tentang Koperasi adalah sebuah organisasi ekonomi modern yang berkembang di Eropa Barat. Ia pernah juga membedakan antara Koperasi sosial yang berdasarkan asas gotong royong, dengan Koperasi ekonomi yang berdasarkan asas-asas ekonomi pasar yang rasional dan kompetitif. Bagi Bung Hatta, Koperasi bukanlah sebuah lembaga yang antipasar atau nonpasar dalam masyarakat tradisional. Koperasi, baginya adalah sebuah lembaga self-help lapisan masyarakat yang lemah atau rakyat kecil untuk bisa mengendalikan pasar. Karena itu Koperasi harus bisa bekerja dalam sistem pasar, dengan cara menerapkan prinsip efisiensi. Koperasi juga bukan sebuah komunitas tertutup, tetapi terbuka, dengan melayani non-anggota, walaupun dengan maksud untuk menarik mereka menjadi anggota Koperasi, setelah merasakan manfaat berhubungan dengan Koperasi. Dengan cara itulah sistem Koperasi akan mentransformasikan sistem ekonomi kapitalis yang tidak ramah terhadap pelaku ekonomi kecil melalui persaingan bebas (kompetisi), menjadi sistem yang lebih bersandar kepada kerja sama atau Koperasi, tanpa menghancurkan pasar yang kompetitif.
B. PENGERTIAN DAN PRINSIP DASAR KOPERASI
Prinsip koperasi adalah suatu sistem ide-ide abstrak yang merupakan petunjuk untuk membangun koperasi yang efektif dan tahan lama. Prinsip koperasi terbaru yang dikembangkan International Cooperative Alliance (Federasi koperasi non-pemerintah internasional) adalah keanggotaan yang bersifat terbuka dan sukarela, pengelolaan yang demokratis, partisipasi anggota dalam (ekonomi), kebebasan dan otonomi, serta pengembangan pendidikan, pelatihan, dan informasi. Prinsip koperasi di Indonesia kurang lebih sama dengan prinsip yang diakui dunia internasional dengan adanya sedikit perbedaan, yaitu adanya penjelasan mengenai SHU (Sisa Hasil Usaha).
C. TUJUAN KOPERASI
Bahwa koperasi memiliki tujuan dan peranan antara lain yaitu mengembangkan potensi dan kemampuan ekonomi anggota dan masyarakat, berupaya mempertinggi kualitas kehidupan manusia, memperkokoh perekonomian rakyat, mengembangkan perekonomian nasional, serta mengembangkan kreativitas dan jiwa berorganisasi bagi pelajar bangsa.
D. FUNGSI KOPERASI
1. Sebagai urat nadi kegiatan perekonomian indonesia
2. Sebagai upaya mendemokrasikan sosial ekonomi indonesia
3. Untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan warga negara indonesia
4. Memperkokoh perekonomian rakyat indonesia dengan jalan pembinaan koperasi


Arti dari Lambang Koperasi :
No Lambang Arti
1 Perisai Upaya keras yang ditempuh secara terus menerus. Hanya orang yang pekerja keras yang bisa menjadi calon Anggota dengan memenuhi beberapa persyaratannya.
2 Rantai (di sebelah kiri) Ikatan kekeluargaan, persatuan dan persahabatan yang kokoh. Bahwa anggota sebuah Koperasi adalah Pemilik Koperasi tersebut, maka semua Anggota menjadi bersahabat, bersatu dalam kekeluargaan, dan yang mengikat sesama anggota adalah hukum yang dirancang sebagai Anggaran Dasar (AD) / Anggaran Rumah Tangga (ART) Koperasi. Dengan bersama-sama bersepakat mentaati AD/ART, maka Padi dan Kapas akan mudah diperoleh.
3 Kapas dan Padi (di sebelah kanan) Kemakmuran anggota koperasi secara khusus dan rakyat secara umum yang diusahakan oleh koperasi. Kapas sebagai bahan dasar sandang (pakaian), dan Padi sebagai bahan dasar pangan (makanan). Mayoritas sudah disebut makmur-sejahtera jika cukup sandang dan pangan.
4 Timbangan Keadilan sosial sebagai salah satu dasar koperasi. Biasanya menjadi simbol hukum. Semua Anggota koperasi harus adil dan seimbang antara "Rantai" dan "Padi-Kapas", antara "Kewajiban" dan "Hak". Dan yang menyeimbangkan itu adalah Bintang dalam Perisai.
5 Bintang Dalam perisai yang dimaksud adalah Pancasila, merupakan landasan ideal koperasi. Bahwa Anggota Koperasi yang baik adalah yang mengindahkan nilai-nilai keyakinan dan kepercayaan, yang mendengarkan suara hatinya. Perisai bisa berarti "tubuh", dan Bintang bisa diartikan "Hati".
6 Pohon Beringin Simbol kehidupan, sebagaimana pohon dalam Gunungan wayang yang dirancang oleh Sunan Kalijaga. Dahan pohon disebut kayu (dari bahasa Arab "Hayyu"/kehidupan). Timbangan dan Bintang dalam Perisai menjadi nilai hidup yang harus dijunjung tinggi.
7 Koperasi Indonesia Koperasi yang dimaksud adalah koperasi rakyat Indonesia, bukan Koperasi negara lain. Tata-kelola dan tata-kuasa perkoperasian di luar negeri juga baik, namun sebagai Bangsa Indonesia harus punya tata-nilai sendiri.
8 Warna Merah Putih Warna merah dan putih yang menjadi background logo menggambarkan sifat nasional Indonesia.

About David Villa Sanchez

Name: David Villa Sanchez
Position: Forward
Place of birth: Tuilla, Langreo
Date of birth: 03-12-1981
Height: 175cm
Weight: 69kg
Debut: FC Barcelona-Sevilla FC (4-0, Spanish Super Cup), 21/08/2010




David Villa, 28, moved to FC Barcelona on 21st May 2010, just five days after the team won the second consecutive league title of the Guardiola era.

David Villa Sanchez made his first division debut with Zaragoza but really made his name with Valencia. However, his roots are in the mining region of Asturias in northern Spain where his father was a miner. He joined the youth teams of local club Sporting Gijon and soon made his way up the ranks to the first team.

He’s the 11th Asturias –born player to defend the Barca colours – previous famous compatriots in recent years being Quini, in the 80’s and former Barca captain Luis Enrique. Both of them recommended Barca to Villa.

David Villa’s career has been characterized by his unerring ability to score plenty of goals. In his seven seasons in the first division before joining Barca he never scored less than 15 a season.

He joins Barca in his prime – he’s 28 – and is a proven striker. He spent two years with Zaragoza (2003-05) and five with Valencia (2005-10), scoring 140 goals in 239 matches.

Despite his individual talent, he has collected relatively little silverware – two Cup medals and a Spanish Super Cup. So he joins Barca with plenty of hunger for honours.

His honours were dramatically extended after just one year at Barça. In 2010/11, playing on the left side of attack under Josep Guardiola, Villa won the Spanish Supercup, the league and the Champions League. He ended the season with a cracking goal in the Wembley final against Manchester United.

Villa is also a key part of the international team and, after the South African World Cup, has scored more World Cup goals than any other Spanish players. He played a huge role in Spain’s victory. His five goals made him Spain’s top scorer and – together with Müller (Germany), Snejder (Holland) and Forlán (Uruguay) – also the tournament’s top scorer.

PROFILE




He’s not especially big for a striker (1.75 m and 69 kg). His main virtue is his ability to shoot with both feet. As a child, he had a medical problem with his right leg so he focussed on his left, eventually becoming two-footed. In addition he’s an excellent header of the ball – an authentic goal machine.

Apart from his shooting ability, ‘El Guaje’ (The Lad) as he is affectionately known, is amazingly fast and mobile – a player who looks for the pass into space. Unpredictable. Off the ball, he works hard for the team and applies constant pressure to the opposing defence. He’s a charismatic player, a winner, who can turn a game at any moment.

CAREER

2010-11 FC Barcelona
2009-10 Valencia CF
2008-09 Valencia CF
2007-08 Valencia CF
2006-07 Valencia CF

Love..Love..and Love

Love it is a life ..

There is a pulse, breathing, thinking, hearing, seeing, and feel ..

Love is the feeling and logic are united ..

There is patience, sincerity, trust,

Never count the mistakes and forgive pobud ..

And the amount of love, you'll know when will lose ..

Like a cup of wine ..

That every tetesannya can revive all the dead ..

That every tenggukannya able satiate your stomach, and was never hungry again ..

That each fragrance can change all that bad for the better ..

There is a separate lesson ..

When I have to lose ..

That is called sincerity ..

Difficult as difficult as grasping a star in the sky ..

Sincerity not just let go of something ..

Rather full of sacrifice, and sincere ..

Dream flung to the ground, and dream again ..

I have to do it for the best ..

But the best thing that does not mean something that is perfect ..

But the best thing that does not mean that such sesuati our dreams ..

The best thing is the answer from God's holy ..

Is a point and a destiny ..

Again I found myself ..

After all that has happened ..

Cyber Crime

Cyber crime is a term that refers to the activities of crime with a computer or computer network becomes a tool, target or scene of the crime. Included in cybercrimes include online auction fraud, check forgery, credit card fraud / carding, confidence fraud, identity fraud, child pornography, etc..
Although cyber crime or cybercrime generally refers to criminal activity with a computer or computer network as its main element, the term is also used for traditional criminal activity where computers or computer networks are used to facilitate or enable the crime occurred.
Examples of cyber crime where the computer as a tool is spamming and crimes against copyright and intellectual property. Examples of cyber crime where the computer as the target is illegal access (to fool access control), malware and DoS attacks. Examples of cyber crime as a place where the computer is identity fraud. While examples of traditional crimes with a computer as a tool is child pornography and online gambling.
Information and communication technology combined with the Internet has opened up the possibility of the emergence of activity in all fields and categories. Nevertheless, it has not been matched by the readiness of the legal world and a tool perlengakapannya. Cyber crime is not a simple crime, because the proof is difficult and often faced with the absence of clear rules and firm. Not seldom the culprit managed to commit fraud to hundreds of thousands of dollars and other losses on a computer data network system, was only sentenced to one or two years in prison.


Someone who commit crimes of this type often do not have a motive to profit economically. Other elements such as challenges, personal enjoyment (joycomputing), even proving the technical skill involved in it often. In the Introduction to Data Security and Control, Edward R. Buck gives certain characteristics of people who have a strong tendency to make cyber crime, namely:
- enjoys a challenge;
- age between 18 to 46 years;
- energetic;
- friendly; and
- intelligent.
Cyber crime community in a global community of Internet users is a matter that can be consciously or unconsciously, intentionally or unintentionally made. This happens because the technological development of information and level of intellect / intelligence community is increasing. Factor of the Internet itself also creates virtual rumors on Internet users to keep and keep searching and trying.

Misuse of computers both as subject, object, tool or as a symbol would have become a scourge of its own for traffic safety relationship between users of Internet services. Among the various forms of cyber crime of the most troubling is the manipulation of the computer community as part of computer-related economic crimes, and to copy and sell copies of unauthorized computer software.

In the end that is needed is increased cyber security factors that can come from service providers and information, and above all must come from the readiness of law and enforcement.

Earth Hour!

What is Earth Hour? At precisely 8:30pm Jakarta time on Saturday March 26th, thousands of people around Indonesia were participating in the worldwide event, known as Earth Hour. Earth Hour is a time of awareness on how to conserve energy and a small step towards saving our planet. Although many people participate in Earth Hour, it is only the beginning of the long journey that lies ahead. Now the earth is facing serious problems such as: Global Warming, Pollution, Deforestation and many more issues that threaten to destroy our planet.

Earth Hour is very logical and intelligent. Many of people seem to know about Earth Hour, and how it’s started to help our community. It has resulted in a noticeable drop in power consumption. Half an hour after the event had started, the black out campaign saved approximately 600 megawatt, recorded by the state-owned electricity company, PLN. (Last year, they saved up to 120 megawatt for 30 minutes). The amount of energy saved this year happened due to the contribution from the Jakarta government, who has hosted Earth Hour 3 times in a row, and hopefully more to come. Many buildings of Central Jakarta joined the global Earth Hour, switching their lights off.

During Earth Hour: Although, 5 times more energy was saved this year, only 30% of the people I surveyed participated in the global campaign. Another 30% of the people in my community, seemed to know or have heard about Earth Hour, but didn’t seem to realize that the date was set on the last Saturday of March. Many people said, “We heard about it, but no one really seemed to bring the matter up, so we didn’t know when or how long it would be.”

Here’s a girl and her family who had the most exciting time, celebrating this black-out campaign: Jade, 13, from Jakarta International School decided to just have a nice and quiet memorable Earth Hour, with her family. “We just turned off all the lights at first, but then went a bit extreme and decided to cut all of the electricity! During the first hour we just chilled, and had some snacks; but as soon as 9:30pm came around, we challenged ourselves with another half -hour! We played a game of monopoly in the dark, lit by only a few candle lights.” Jade says with a smile on her face. “We just laughed and thought how cool it would be to see the city before and during earth hour. We thought it was fun and that we should have them more often!”


What the government has done: Up until today, many campaigns and outdoor activities have been created for environmental awareness. The government has been a huge help (but we still need more) so the only thing standing in the way of us making planet earth a better place; is us. The city of Jakarta is not the best looking city in the world. There are shanty houses, ruined sidewalks, pollution, barely any green and, too many vehicles.

According to the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation, Indonesia has about 50.1 million registered cars scattered throughout the major islands. The number of registered vehicles in Jakarta is nearing 9.5 million, including about 2 million cars and 6.6 million motorcycles. Each day, around 1,000 new motorcycles and 300 hundred new cars are registered in Jakarta alone.

The Jakarta government have taken a few steps by doing green campaign activities for example: there is a car free day in Jalan Thamrin, and Jalan Sudirman every last Sunday of the month. There seems to be some people that are interested to try and promote bike to work movement. But is that enough?


On that note, we must agree. As much as the energy we saved this year, we have to remember, it won’t heal the world. So remember, every small thing we start to do, it’ll make a difference.

Beginning Surfing Sports

Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Kahinu Mokoe Hulikohola was born in an old Hawaiian family and is one of the last full-blooded Hawaiian. His grandfather was a Hawaiian high chief. As the eldest of six sons, he was named Duke after his father, who had been born during a visit by the Duke of Edinburgh and has been named in his honor. Kahanamoku was raised in the Royal Palace, although his father was a policeman.

Kahanamoku's father and uncle taught him how to swim when he was a kid with a traditional Hawaiian way - by throwing him to the side of an outrigger canoe into the surf. He learned quickly and scared in the water. Growing up, Kahanamoku spent all his spare time at the beach. As noted in the Great Athlete, "he could swim as easily as walking." In a teenager, he dropped out of high school for swimming, surfing, boat, surfboard shapes, and living on the beach. He and his friends were among the first called "sons of the beach." A man, tall and slender, Kahanamoku was a leader among his friends. He never drank or smoked, rarely fought, and trained consistently. Especially interested in surfing, she's largest councils from anyone. board his 16-foot weighed 114 pounds and patterned after an ancient Hawaiian designs. Around 1910, he persuaded others to try to use a surfboard again: they are about eight or nine feet, while he is now a ten feet shorter. To encourage long board surf smoothly through the necessary power. A scissors kick followed by a flutter kick gave her strength. His "Kahanamoku kick" will then be adopted by the freestyle swimmer after he began to destroy the world record swim.


After the Olympics, Kahanamoku cast about for something to be done. He read a water meter, working in the office preparing, and conducting surveys. None of this work was measured until stature as an Olympic gold medalist. He began to receive invitations to exhibitions and swim meets throughout the United States and Europe, and finally New Zealand and Australia. Wherever he goes, he will show surfing and swimming. Thus, he became an unofficial ambassador for Hawaii and for surfing. According to the King of the Surf, Kahanamoku was the first to showcase the tandem surfing and the first to show the wake surfing. "long surf boards which are recorded on the news.

In 1915, the board Kahanamoku introduced surfing to Australia. He has brought the board was not with him from Hawaii, so he built one there from sugar pine. Design concave on this board give it greater stability in rough surf. On January 15, he rode the board for three hours at Freshwater beach, pointing out the various tricks. Before the demonstration, the coast guard had tried to convince him not to surf in shark-filled waters. After that they asked if he had seen any sharks. As related in Surfers legendary, Duke said, "Yes, I saw a lot." When asked whether the shark had been disturbed, the answer is "No, and I did not bother them." He showed Australia how to build a board before he left.


Some rides take a legendary Kahanamoku surfing. Perhaps the most famous occurred in 1917, on the monster waves generated by after an earthquake in Japan. Seeing the wave caused many people to run for cover. Kahanamoku encourage surfboard to catch a wave, despite the obvious dangers. According to Legendary Surfers, he later related: "Sliding left along the watery monster's face, I do not know I was in the beginning of a journey that would become a celebrated and memoried All I know is that I have come to cope. with a wave, the highest bulkiest , the fastest I've ever seen. "Although the legend has been extended up to a mile more, he rode a wave of more than a mile to cut down some beaches.

In 1925, Kahanamoku shows another use for a surfboard - as a lifesaving device. He and the party of actors and actresses who camped on a beach when the cruise ship upside down from Newport Beach, California. Reaching a surfboard that, Kahanamoku release into the wild waves. Of the 12 passengers rescued from a cruise ship, he was able to rescue eight. Kahanamoku role in the development and manufacture of surfboards giant hole in the 1920s and 1930s, and adapted them to work saving lives. His book, World of Surfing, written with Joe Brennan, was published in 1968.

Origin Of The Bali Strait

In the days of yore, there was a boy named Manik Angkeran. His father was a noble character that has wisdom Begawan, Begawan named Sidi spells. Although his father was a well-respected by the community and have extensive knowledge of religion, but Manik Angkeran is a spoiled child, who work only gamble and pitted chicken like brat-brat in this desanya.Mungkin because he had been abandoned by his mother who died during childbirth. Because of that habit, her father's wealth grew out and finally they fall into poverty.
Although their situation was poor, Manik habit Angkeran not reduced, even as he is always losing in gambling, more and more debt and he was in the chase, chased by people who dihutanginya. Finally came the Manik place of his father, and with a sad tone she asked her father to pay his debts. Because Manik Angkeran is her only son, Sidi Mantra Begawan felt sorry and promised to pay his debts.
So with her inner strength, Begawan Sidi Mantra get hints that there is a mountain called Mount Agung is situated on the east. In Gunung Agung is said to have abundant wealth. Armed with these instructions, go Begawan Sidi Mantra to Mount Agung with a clapper his cult.
After a long journey, and came to Mount Agung. Immediately she said, sounding gentanya mantra. And out of a dragon named Dragon Besukih.
"Hi Begawan Sidi Mantra, what are you calling me?" said the Dragon Besukih.
"The Besukih, fortune has been spent on my son to gamble. Now that the debt piled up, he was being chased by people. Please, help me so I can pay my debt! "
"All right, I'll fulfill your request Begawan Sidi Mantra, but you must advise your son not to gamble anymore, because you know that gambling is forbidden religion!"
"I promise I will advise my son" said Sidi Mantra Begawan.

Then the Dragon Besukih vibrating body and scales that fell soon turned gold and diamonds.
"Take Begawan Sidi Mantra. Pay your debts. And do not forget to advise him not to gamble again. "
Picking up gold and diamonds and do not forget to say thanks, then Begawan Sidi Mantra to get out of Mount Agung. Then he returned to his home in East Java. Arriving home, pay all debts in their children and do not forget he advised his son not to gamble again.
But apparently his father's advice was ignored by Manik Angkeran. She fixed gambling and pitted chicken every day. Over time, debt Angkeran Manik any more and he was in the chase-chase again by people who dihutanginya. And as before, go Manik Angkeran facing his father and begged for her debts paid off again.
Although with a slightly annoyed, as a father, Sidi Mantra Begawan also promised to pay off these debts. And immediately he went to Mount Agung to appeal to the Dragon Besukih for granted relief again.
When he arrived he was on Mount Agung, dibunyikannya bells and the reading of spells for the Dragon Besukih out of the palace.
Not for some time, finally the Dragon Besukih out of his palace.
"What else Begawan Sidi Mantra? Why did you call me again? "asked the Dragon Besukih.
"The Besukih Sorry, again I ask your help so I can pay my debts. I've not got anything else and I've advised him not to gamble, but he did not menghiraukanku. "beg Begawan Sidi Mantra.
"Your son seems to have no respect for their parents again. But I'll help you for the last time. Remember, the last time. "
Then the Dragon to move his body and Sidi Mantra Begawan collect gold and gems that come from the scales falling body. Then Begawan Sidi Mantra even say goodbye. And arrival at home, Sidi Mantra Begawan immediately pay off his debts.
Due to the ease Begawan Sidi Mantra mendaptkan treasure, Manik Angkeran felt surprised to see it. Then said Manik Angkeran to his father, "Daddy, where did the father get all that wealth?"
"Come on Angkeran Manik, do not you ask where the father gets the treasure. Stop gambling and risking the chicken, because it is prohibited by all religions. And this for the last time father to help you. Next time when you owe more, fathers will not help you anymore. "
But it turns out Manik Angkeran unable to leave his bad habits, he still continues to gamble and gambling. So in a short time had accumulated many debts. And although he had requested the help of his father, his father still would not help him anymore. So he was determined to find out the source of his wealth.
Ask it to and fro, and some of his friends told him that his father got a wealth of Mount Agung. Because of greed, Manik Angkeran also stole his father's bell and went to Mount Agung.
Arriving at the Mount Agung, immediately he rang the bell. Hearing the sound of the bell, the Dragon Besukih felt compelled by it, but the Dragon surprised, because they do not hear the usual mantras are pronounced by Sidi Mantra Begawan when the bell rang.

The Dragons came out to see who comes calling.
Once out, met the Dragon by Manik Angkeran. Seeing Manik Angkeran, the Dragon Besukih also could not resist his anger.
"Hi Manik Angkeran! There is what you call me with clapper that you stole from your father? "
With the attitude of pleading, Manik also said "the Dragon help me. Give me the treasure in abundance so I can pay the debt-hutangku. If this time I can not pay it, people will kill me. Have mercy on me. "
Seeing the sadness Manik Angkeran, the Dragon also felt sorry.
"All right, I'll help." replied the Dragon Besukih.
After giving advice to the Manik Angkeran, the Dragon immediately turned around to retrieve treasure that will be given to the Manik Angkeran. At the Dragon's head and his body sank into the earth to retrieve the treasure, Manik Angkeran saw the Dragon tail dipemukaan earth is filled with diamonds and jewels, there arose his evil intentions. Manik Angkeran immediately drew his dagger and cut the tail of the Dragon Besukih. The Dragon Besukih wriggle and immediately turn around. However, Manik Angkeran gone. The Dragons were soon chasing Beads in all directions, but he could not find Angkeran Manik, who met only the former Angkeran Manik footprints.
So with spiritual power, the Dragon Besukih burn marks Angkeran Manik footprints. Although Manik Angkeran was far from the Dragon, but with the Dragon Besukih magic, he still felt the burning of the soles of the feet so the body Manik Angkeran was hot so he collapsed and over time become ashes.
In East Java, Begawan Sidi Mantra Beads are anxious because their children have been lost and the bell Angkeran his cult was also missing. But Begawan Sidi Mantra know if gentanya taken by his son Manik Angkeran and felt that her son went to the Mount Agung meet the Dragon Besukih. Therefore she went to Mount Agung.
Arriving at Mount Agung, he saw the Dragon Besukih were outside his palace. With haste Begawan Sidi Mantra asked the Dragon Besukih "O Sang Besukih, is there anything my son Manik Angkeran come here?"
"Yes, he has come here to ask for the treasure that will be wearing to pay off its debts. But when I turned about to take the treasure for him, my tail dipotonglah by it. And I have been burned to disappear, because your attitude does not know that reciprocation. Now what is the purpose of coming here, Begawan Sidi Mantra? "
"I'm sorry, the Besukih! My son's just one, so I ask that my son brought back to life. "beg the Begawan.
"For the sake of our friendship, I will fulfill your request. But on one condition, please return my tail as before. "said the Dragon Besukih.
"Well, I too will be eligible!" said Sidi Mantra Begawan.
And by deploying their own forces, Manik Angkeran was alive again. Similarly, the tail of the Dragon Besukih be returned intact as before.
Manik Dinasehatinya Angkeran by the Dragon Besukih and Sidi Mantra Begawan at length and then returned Begawan Sidi Mantra to East Java. But Manik Angkeran should not come back, he should stay in the vicinity of Mount Agung. Because Manik Angkeran already aware of and change, he did not disobey his father's commands and obey them.
And on his return, when Begawan Sidi Mantra reached the Land of the Citadel, in torehkannya wand to the ground to create a boundary with her son. Immediately incision was also used to grow wider and the sea water rose menggenanginya. And over time into a strait. Strait that is now given the name "Bali Strait".

Tradisi Penguburan Mayat Di Desa Trunyan

Desa Trunyan merupakan sebuah desa kuno di tepi danau Batur, Kintamani, Kabupaten Bangli.
Desa ini merupakan sebuah desa Bali Aga, Bali Mula dengan kehidupan masyarakat yang unik dan menarik Bali Aga, berarti orang Bali pegunungan, sedangkan Bali Mula berarti Bali asli. Kebudayaan orang Trunyan mencerminkan satu pola kebudayaan petani yang konservatif. Terbayang pula suasana kehidupan masyarakat Bali tempo dulu dengan tradisi kuat menyelimuti desa ini.

Berdasarkan folk etimologi, penduduk Trunyan mempersepsikan diri dan jati diri mereka dalam dua versi. Versi pertama, orang Trunyan adalah orang Bali Turunan, karena mereka percaya bahwa leluhur mereka ‘turun’ dari langit ke bumi Trunyan. Terkait dengan versi ini, orang Trunyan mempunyai satu mite atau dongeng suci mengenai asal-usul penduduk Trunyan adalah seorang Dewi dari langit.


Berdasarkan folk etimologi, penduduk Trunyan mempersepsikan diri dan jati diri mereka dalam dua versi. Versi pertama, orang Trunyan adalah orang Bali Turunan, karena mereka percaya bahwa leluhur mereka ‘turun’ dari langit ke bumi Trunyan. Terkait dengan versi ini, orang Trunyan mempunyai satu mite atau dongeng suci mengenai asal-usul penduduk Trunyan adalah seorang Dewi dari langit.

Versi kedua, orang Trunyan hidup dalam sistem ekologi dengan adanya pohon Taru Menyan, yaitu pohon yang menyebarkan bau-bauan wangi. Dari perdaduan kata “taru” dan “menyan” berkembang kata Trunyan yang dipakai nama desa dan nama penduduk desa tersebut.

Trunyan memiliki tradisi yang unik dalam memperlakukan jenasah warganya. Tidak seperti umat Hindu umumnya di Bali yang melangsungkan upacara ngaben untuk pembakaran jenasah, di Trunyan jenasah tidak dibakar melainkan hanya diletakkan di tanah pekuburan. Meskipun mayat hanya diletakan saja, tidak tercium bau busuk dari mayat yang ada dipemakaman tersebut. Konon karena ada pohon-pohon yang berdaun wangi yang diyakini masyarakat trunyan, dapat menyerap bau busuk sehingga meskipun mayat dibiarkan tanpa dikubur, tidak ada bau busuk tercium. Pohon ini dikenal sebagai Taru Menyan .Taru Menyan sendiri diyakini sebagai asal mula nama Desa Trunyan. Konon, pohon ini pernah menyebarkan bau sangat harum. Keharumannya inilah yang menyerap bau busuk mayat-mayat di kuburan ini. Jangan pernah mengambil barang-barang yang ada di sini. Barang-barang itu milik orang-orang yang dikubur di sini.





Secara spesifik, terkait dengan kepercayaan orang Trunyan mengenai penyakit dan kematian, maka cara pemakaman orang Trunyan ada 2 macam yaitu:

1. Meletakkan jenazah diatas tanah dibawah udara terbuka yang disebut dengan istilah mepasah. Orang-orang yang dimakamkan dengan cara mepasah adalah mereka yang pada waktu matinya termasuk orang-orang yang telah berumah tangga, orang-orang yang masih bujangan dan anak kecil yang gigi susunya telah tanggal.

2. Dikubur / dikebumikan. Orang-orang yang dikebumikan setelah meninggal adalah mereka yang cacat tubuhnya, atau pada saat mati terdapat luka yang belum sembuh seperti misalnya terjadi pada tubuh penderita penyakit cacar, lepra dan lainnya. Orang-orang yang mati dengan tidak wajar seperti dibunuh atau bunuh diri juga dikubur. Anak-anak kecil yang gigi susunya belum tanggal juga dikubur saat meninggal.

Untuk keperluan pemakaman, di desa Trunyan terdapat 3 kuburan yaitu:
1.Sema wayah, diperuntukkan untuk pemakaman jenis mepasah.
2.Sema bantas, diperuntuukan untuk dengan penguburan.
3.Sema nguda, diperuntukkan untuk kedua jenis pemakaman yaitu mepasah maupun
