A ROSE FROM HOMER’S GRAVE

A ROSE FROM HOMER’S GRAVE
All the songs of the east speak of the love of the nightingale for the rose in the silent starlight night. The winged songster serenades the fragrant flowers. Not far from Smyrna, where the merchant drives his loaded camels, proudly arching their long necks as they journey beneath the lofty pines over holy ground, I saw a hedge of roses. The turtle-dove flew among the branches of the tall trees, and as the sunbeams fell upon her wings, they glistened as if they were mother-of-pearl. 

On the rose-bush grew a flower, more beautiful than them all, and to her the nightingale sung of his woes; but the rose remained silent, not even a dewdrop lay like a tear of sympathy on her leaves. At last she bowed her head over a heap of stones, and said, “Here rests the greatest singer in the world; over his tomb will I spread my fragrance, and on it I will let my leaves fall when the storm scatters them. He who sung of Troy became earth, and from that earth I have sprung. 

I, a rose from the grave of Homer, am too lofty to bloom for a nightingale.” Then the nightingale sung
himself to death. A camel-driver came by, with his loaded camels and his black slaves; his little son found the dead bird, and buried the lovely songster in the grave of the great Homer, while the rose trembled in the wind. The evening came, and the rose wrapped her leaves more closely round her, and dreamed: and this was herdream.


It was a fair sunshiny day; a crowd of strangers drew near who had undertaken a pilgrimage to the grave of Homer. Among the strangers was a minstrel from the north, the home of the clouds and the brilliant lights of the aurora borealis. He plucked the rose and placed it in a book, and carried it away into a distant part of the world, his fatherland. The rose faded with grief, and lay between the leaves of the book, which he opened in his own home, saying, “Here is a rose from the grave of Homer.”
Then the flower awoke from her dream, and trembled in the wind. A drop of dew fell from the leaves upon the singer’s grave. The sun rose, and the flower bloomed more beautiful than ever. The day was hot, and she was still in her own warm Asia. Then footsteps approached, strangers, such as the rose had seen in her dream, came by, and among them was a poet from the north; he plucked the rose, pressed a kiss upon her fresh mouth, and carried her away to the home of the clouds and the northern lights. Like a mummy, the flower now rests in his “Iliad,” and, as in her dream, she hears him say, as he opens the book, “Here is a rose from the grave of Homer.”

Adjective Clause

Jumat, 11 Mei 2012 20.30 Diposting oleh abdurahman S 1 komentar


Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns, giving a description or more information. An adjective clause is simply a group of words with a subject and a verb that provide a description. The clause starts with a pronoun such as who, whom, that, or which or an adverb such as when, where and why.
Adjective Clauses In Action
Adjective clauses do not change the basic meaning of the sentence. In some cases, when they provide more information into a sentence, they need to be set off with commas.

Adjective clause is a clause that functions as a adjective. As we have seen, adjectives are words that describe nouns. Thus, it also serves as an adjective clause, which gives details on the noun.
Adjective clauses beginning with relative pronoun or relative adverb.
  1. Adjective clause with relative pronoun
    Example:
    The Man Who is sitting over there is my father.
    The book the which you bought yesterday is very interesting.
    This is the place that i visited some years ago.
    Mr. Tarno Whose son is my friend is presenting a paper in a seminar.
  2. Adjective adverb clause with a relative
    Example:
    This is the reason why she did it.
    The time when the plane takes off and lands will be changed soon.
    Pematangsiantar is the place where I was born.

  • Adjective clause is divided into two kinds, namely:
    Important (defining) adjective clause, adjective clause is that is important information for the antecedent.
    Example : That Bob's brother (WHO) lives in New York is an actor.
    Meaning : Bob has more than one brother.
  • Unimportant (undefining) adjective clause, adjective clause is that the information that is important for the antecedent.
    Example : Bob's brother, WHO lives in New York is an actor.
    Meaning : Bob has only one brother.


aExample of Adjective Clausemp
  • Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh."
    (W. H. Auden)

  • "Short, fat, and of a quiet disposition, he appeared to spend a lot of money on really bad clothes, which hung about his squat frame like skin on a shrunken toad."
    (John le CarrĂ©, Call for the Dead, 1961)

  • "Love, which was once believed to contain the Answer, we now know to be nothing more than an inherited behavior pattern."
    (James Thurber)

  • "The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
    (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

  • "The IRS spends God knows how much of your tax money on these toll-free information hot lines staffed by IRS employees, whose idea of a dynamite tax tip is that you should print neatly."
    (Dave Barry)

  • "On I trudged, past the carefully roped-off breeding grounds of terns, which chirruped a warning overhead."
    (Will Self, "A Real Cliff Hanger," 2008)

  • "The man that invented the cuckoo clock is no more."
    (Mark Twain)

  • "Afterwards, in the dusty little corners where London's secret servants drink together, there was argument about where the Dolphin case history should really begin."
    (John le CarrĂ©, The Honourable Schoolboy, 1977)

  • "The man who first abused his fellows with swear words, instead of bashing their brains out with a club, should be counted among those who laid the foundations of civilization."
    (John Cohen, 1965)

Computers and Education in America




         Computers do allow students to expand their learning beyond the classroom, but the distance learning is not a utopia. Some businesses, such as Hewlett Packard, do have mentoring programs with children in the schools, but those mentoring programs are not available to all students. Distance learning has always been a dream of administrators, eager to figure out a cheaper way to deliver education. They think that little Eva and Johnny are going to learn about Japanese culture or science or algebra in the evening when they could be talking with their friends on the phone or watching television. As education critic Neil Postman points out, these administrators are not imagining a new technology but a new kind of child: "In [the administrator's] vision, there is a confident and typical sense of unreality. Little Eva can't sleep, so she decides to learn a little algebra? Where does little Eva come from? Mars?" Only students from some distant  planet would prefer to stick their nose in a computer rather than watch TV or go to school and be with their friends.



        Their short attention spans, their unwillingness to explore subjects in depth, their poor reading and evaluation skills. Computers also tend to isolate students, to turn them into computer geeks who think cyberspace is actually real. Some students have found they have a serious and addictive case of "Webaholism," where they spend hours and hours on the computer at the expense of their family and friends. Unfortunately, computers tend to separate, not socialize students. Finally, we need to think about who has the most to gain or lose from computers in the schools.



        Are administrators getting more students "taught" for less money? Are big companies training a force of computer worker bees to run their businesses? Will corporate CEO's use technology to isolate and control their employees? Like all cults, this one has the intention of enlisting mindless allegiance and acquiescence. People who have no clear idea of what they mean by information or why they should want so much  of it are nonetheless prepared to believe that we live in an Information Age, which makes every computer around us what the relics of the True Cross were in the Age of Faith: emblems of  salvation.

Passive Voice

Sabtu, 07 April 2012 10.03 Diposting oleh abdurahman S 0 komentar
We know that the outline form of sentence composed of a sentence aktif and sentences pasif. but passive indonesia language sentences nearly the same pattern resembling english passive sentences in a language 

 the general pattern of passive sentences  :

Simple sentence structure, active voice, and positive statements have been key Web-writing guidelines for more than a decade. I don't want you to abandon these good ideas. They do improve content usability in most cases, particularly for body text.
However, recent findings from our eyetracking research emphasized the overwhelming importance of getting the first 2 words right, since that's often all users see when they scan Web pages. Given this, we have to bend the writing guidelines a bit, especially for elements that users fixate on when they scan — that is, headlines, subheads, summaries, captions, hypertext links, and bulleted lists.
Words are usually the main moneymakers on a website. Selecting the first 2 words for your page titles is probably the highest-impact ROI-boosting design decision you make in a Web project. Front-loading important keywords trumps most other design considerations.
Writing the first 2 words of summaries runs a close second. Here, too, you might want to succumb to passive voice if it lets you pull key terms into the lead.
The importance of good page titles and summaries goes far beyond traditional search engine optimization (SEO) and its narrow focus on getting a high GYM rating (that is, a high ranking on Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft search listings). Usable and scannable results in your site's own search engine greatly impacts your website's conversion rate. And search usability is key for intranet productivity.
Most text should use simple sentence structure. But sometimes, passive voice can increase ROI. Use it. Carefully.

  •  Indonesia  Language : Subyek + di + kata kerja
  • English Language : Subjecy + be + verb 3

the following is an example of a passive sentence :

*Active : Nick helped Merry.
* Passive : Merry was helped by Nick.

c. Present Perfect Tense, maka ‘be’ passive voice-nya adalah been yang diletakkan setelah auxiliary has atau have, sehingga menjadi ‘has been’ atau ‘have been’

Example :  
* Active : He has met them
* Passive : They have been met by him

* Active : She has watered this plant for 5 minutes.
* Passive : This plant has been watered by her for 5 minutes.

d. Past Perfect Tense, maka ‘be’ passive voice-nya adalah been yang diletakkan setelah auxiliary had, sehingga menjadi had been

* Passive : This plant had been watered by her for 5 minutes when I got here

* Active : Nick had helped Merry.

Understanding Dental Pain

Pain has always been a major issue with dentistry. The fear of pain in dentistry is so high in fact, that many people fail to go to the dentist until their condition becomes so severe that they have no other choice than to see a dentist. A majority of individuals are terrified of the dental chair, although once they are numb, they sometimes fall asleep. Although the numbing shots may be a bit painful, once they are finishedthere is literally no more pain.

Most often, people will concentrate on the thought of getting the shot, which will only magnify the pain. Something that normally doesn’t hurt, can get a lot worse simply by thinking in your mind that it will be painful. In most cases, the numbing shots will work very well with one or two applications. If  you are already in pain when you visit the dentist, the shots will put your mind at ease and stop the pain almost immediately.

If you have a tremendous fear of dental pain and simply cannot stand the thought of getting a shot, then you may be interested in laughing gas or IV sedation. Either of the two can help you relax before you the dentist applies numbing shots. IV sedation can either be conscious or put you out totally. Normally, IV sedation is preferred during wisdom teeth removal, as most people don’t want to hear the grinding and snapping of the teeth. It works through your veins, as the anaesthesia is inserted into your arm through a vein.

If you have chosen either laughing gas or an IV sedation, your dentist will administer either of the two before he gives you shots or goes any further. Once the medicine has taken effect, you normally won’t feel anything or remember it. Laughing gas and IV sedation can put your mind at ease, so you won’t be uncomfortable during your surgery or extractions.

Although dental pain is something that many fear, it isn’t near as bad as they may think. Most of the fear stems from not knowing, or thinking that it will hurt more than it actually does. The worst part of dental work is the numbing shots, which actually don’t hurt all that bad. Once you have been numbed, you’ll find that the pain will be gone. Dental pain isn’t near as bad you may hear or think – which is why you shouldn’t fear it.

If you need dental work or if you are having a bad toothache, you shouldn’t hesitate to get to the dentist. The dentist will explain everything he is going to do in your treatment, and ask you about other forms of sedation or medicine. Even though you’ll feel the shots, the rest of the procedures you won’t feel at all.

Angry Bird = Trozan ????

Jumat, 30 Desember 2011 22.06 Diposting oleh abdurahman S 0 komentar
Apakah kamu termasuk yang tergila-gila dengan game Angry Birds? Jika iya, maka jangan sampai kamu terkena jebakan pembuat malware yang memanfaatkan kepopuleran Angry Birds ini dengan nmenciptakan Trojan yang pastinya merugikan.

Pelaku malware menjerat pecinta Angry Birds dengan membuat aplikasi “Angry Birds Rio Unlock” di mana aplikasi ini menjanjikan membuka seluruh level tersembunyi pada versi terbaru tersebut. Permainan Angry Birds sendiri memang tidak memungkinkan penggunanya untuk memainkan semua level. Mereka hanya diberi teaser alias jumlah level game yang terbatas. Apabila pemain ingin memainkan level yang lain maka ia harus membayar agar bisa naik ke level selanjutnya.
Korban yang terjerat aplikasi jahat yang mengandung Trojan Android Plankton ini sudah banyak. Menurut virusICU, hingga kini “Angry Birds Rio Unlock” sudah didownload lebih dari 400.000 kali. Saat pengguna sudah mengunduhnya dan menjalankannya, pengguna akan dimintai konformasi ntuk unlock. Nah, jika pengguna setuju, maka yang terjadi ialah ia akan mendapatkan Trojan Android.Plankton yang dampaknya sangat merugikan, apalagi jika perangkat Android si korban memiliki akses ke penyedia jasa seluler. Ini dia efeknya :
1. Mengirimkan SMS ke nomor premium yang akan menguras pulsa ponselmu.
2. Mengunduh aplikasi lain tanpa sepengetahuan pemilik perangkat. Jadi sekali terinfeksi trojan ini, perangkat Androidmu akan rentan terhadap infeksi malware lain. Saat ini dua aplikasi yang terdeteksi di-download adalah “plankton_v0.0.3.jar” dan “plankton_v.0.0.4.jar”. Adapun aksi kedua plankton ini adalah ia akan standby untuk menerima dan menjalankan perintah yang dikirimkan dari pusat kontrol malware.
3. Mengirimkan data deviceID, versi SDK (software Development Kit) dan informasi mengenai hak akses dari file ke server yang telah disediakan pembuat trojan.

Mungkin kata Beranikah Anda sering terdengar di telinga kita ketika akan membuat sesuatu yang baru, segar dan kreatif, misalkan kita akan memulai bisnis yang baru pasti memikirkan apakah bisnis tersebut akan sukses apakah sebaliknya.. Beranikan diri anda untuk memulainya. Seperti Bob Sadino yang mempunya perusahaan Kim Chik. dia memulai bisnis pertama hanya menjual telor ayam yang ia pasarkan dari rumah ke rumah akan tetapi telor yang ia jual tidak ada yang membelinya.akan tetapi dia tidak putus assa dia selanjutnya menjual telor tersebut ke orang asing dan berjalan sukses dan terus sampai dia mempunyai supermarket yang di dalamnya terdapat semua jenis barang. Itu sedikit cerita tentang sesorang yang memulai bisnis baru. Bila anda ingin membuat usaha baru dan teman anda menanyakan ke anda "Beranikah Anda " anda jawab Ia saya Berani...
