Does A Friendship Posted by Titisan KenArok , Friday, May 6, 2011 at 1:04 PM, in Labels: Story

In ancient times there lived a tortoise and a hawk. Although the turtle and the eagle is rarely met because the turtle spent more time disemak-bush while the more eagles fly, but does not prevent the hawks to always visit a nice little friend, the turtle.

The turtle family is very friendly and always welcome the arrival of the eagle with joy. They also always give the eagle food with very royalnya. So the hawks are always many times to come because the food is free from the family turtle. Each time after eating the turtle family always laughed at the eagles the turtle: "ha ha how stupid the tortoise, I can feel the pleasure of food he always gave, but no way he could enjoy my food because that sarangku situated well above the mountain "

Because so often laughed at and with the eagle's selfish to eat the turtle, then the whole forest began to arouse the attitude of the eagle. The inhabitants of these forests was unhappy with the casual attitude of the eagle to the turtle kind. One day a frog called a turtle who was walking near a river. "Hi my friend the turtle, give me a bowl of peas, then I will give wise words for you" cried the frog. Having spent a bowl of peas from the turtle, the frog said again: "the tortoise, the eagle had abused best friend friendship and your kindness. Each time after a visit at the nest, he's always fun of by saying" ha ha how stupid the turtles, I can feel the pleasure of eating he always gave, but no way he could enjoy my food because sarangku which lies far above the mountain ". On one day the eagle would come back and will ask for a basket of food from you and promise to provide food to you and your children "

It is true that is said by the frog, the eagle came with a basket and as always the hawks enjoy food from the turtle. The eagle said: "O my friend the tortoise, let me fill the basket with food from you, it will send it to the child my wife and my wife will give you a homemade meal for your wife and child." Then the eagle fly and the back laughing at the tortoise. And immediately the turtle into the basket and covered with vegetables, fruits by his wife, so it is not visible. When the eagle back, the turtle's wife said her husband had just left and provide a full basket of food to the hawks. The eagle immediately went flying, carrying the basket.

Back she laughed at the stupidity of the turtles. But this time the turtle to hear his own words. They came to the eagle's nest, and soon the eagle eating the contents of the basket until the end. What a surprise to see the turtle out of the basket. "Hi my friend the hawk, you have often visited sarangku but I've never even visited the nest. It appears that I will be very berbahagianya can enjoy your food as you enjoy my food." How angry the hawk because he felt tersindir. Angrily he pecked her tortoise-shell kura.Namun home thanks to the hard tortoise, the tortoise can not be pecked by the eagle. With the sad turtle said: "I have seen what kind of friendship you offer me, O the eagle. What a disappointment to me. Well take me back to sarangku and our friendship will end." The elangpun said: "Well if that's you want. I'll take you home" But evil thoughts arise on the eagles themselves. "I'll bring you down and eat the remnants of yourselves" he thought again.

Thus, the turtle holds the feet of the eagle that flies high. "Pull my leg" cried the angry hawk. Patiently the tortoise replied: "I will deliver your feet if you have lead me back to sarangku" to upset the eagle was flying high, menungkik and wiggle her feet in the hope that the turtle will fall. But there's no point. Finally she dropped the turtle on its nest, and soon flying high with a feeling of shame.

When the eagle flies, the turtle cried: "O my friendship requires mutual sharing of one another. Kaupun I respect and appreciate me. But anyway, since you made our friendship just a game, and I laugh at my family friendliness then you should not have again come to me ".

Abu Nawas "Messages To The Judge" Posted by Titisan KenArok , Wednesday, May 4, 2011 at 6:46 PM, in Labels: Story

 

Who Actually Abu Nawas? People who are often considered the clown of this, is actually a great scholar and a mystic. sometimes we misinterpret when we read the stories of Abu Nawas we will think of this figure is super cute characters unequaled. Abu Nawas originally a Persian, who was born in 750 AD in Ahwaz died in 819 AD in Baghdad. As an adult he wandered into Bashra and Kufa. There he learned Arabic and tightly associate with people of the desert Bedouin.

Because of her social, he advanced Arabic language and customs and penchant Arabs ", he is also good at poetry  and singing. He had returned to his country, but went back to Baghdad with her ​​father, both of them devote themselves to the Sultan Harun Al Rashid King of Baghdad .

Let's begin this tale heart amused. His father was the ruler of Abu Nawas Kingdom of Baghdad named Maulana. One day his father's old Abu Nawas was seriously ill and eventually died.
Abu Nawas was summoned to the palace. He ordered the Sultan (King) to bury
his father's corpse as customary Sheikh Maulana. What does Abu Nawas is almost no different from Maulana Kadi good about bathing the corpse until die procedures, praying, the Sultan intends to appoint Abu Nawas into  or prince replace his father.

But ... after hearing the Emperor's plan. Suddenly a bright Abu Nawas was turned into a crazy look. After his father's funeral. Abu Nawas take a piece of banana stems and stem the execution like a horse, he rode a horse from the trunk
bananas as he ran toward his house from his father's grave.
People who saw the astonished made.
On another day he took little children in sufficient quantity
many to go to the tomb of his father. And on top of the tomb of his father that he took the children play tambourines and rejoice. Now all the more surprising for the conduct of Abu Nawas, they think Abu Nawas has become insane since left dead by his father.

One day there are some people envoy of Sultan Harun al-Rashid came to see Abu Nawas.
"O Abu Nawas you were summoned to the palace of the Sultan to face." vizier envoy said Sultan.
"Why would the sultan called me, I'm not there for her." Answered Abu Nawas conveniently like a no-load.
"O Abu Nawas you should not say such things to your king."
"O vizier, you do not much talk. Quick pick is my horse and bathe in the river is so clean and fresh." Abu Nawas said, handing me a banana tree which is used as a rocking horse.
The vizier just shaking his head to see the behavior of Abu Nawas.
"Abu Nawas you want what is not facing the Emperor?" said the vizier
"Tell your king, I already know so I do not want to." said Abu
Nawas.
"What do you mean Abu Nawas?" vizier asked with curiosity.
"I go there, just say so to your king." said Abu Nawas
menyaruk while dust and thrown in the direction of the vizier and his friends. The vizier get out of the home page of Abu Nawas. They report that such a state of Abu Nawas was not sane to the Sultan Harun Al Rashid.

With a furious Sultan said, "You fool all, only exposes Abu Nawas here just incompetent! Let's go there to the house of Abu Nawas bring him here with a voluntary or forced." The vizier immediately invites some soldiers palace. And by force of Abu Nawas at present before the king.

But again, before the king pretended to Abu Nawas pylon even reckless behavior should not be in the presence of a king.

"Abu Nawas act polite!" King admonished.
"Yes sir, did you know ....?"
"What ...?" Abu Nawas
"Your Majesty ... the origin of the shrimp paste!"
"Brazen Nawas you insult me!"
"No, Your Majesty! Who said condiment shrimp comes from?" King felt harassed, he was furious and immediately gave orders to his guards. "Hagar is it! Beat him as much as twenty-five times"
Wah-wah! Abu Nawas that skinny was finally beaten helplessly limp burly soldier.

After being beaten Abu Nawas told to exit the palace. When he reached the gate of the city, he was intercepted by guards.
"O Abu Nawas! Other day when you're about to go into this town we have entered into an agreement. Cook you forgotten your promise that? If you have been given a gift by His Majesty then you say: I'm for two, you are a part, I am a part. Well, now where is my share? "
"Hi gatekeepers, if you really want a prize
Sire given to that? "
"Yes, of course it already is our agreement?"
"Well, I gave everything, not just one part!"
"Wan turns out you kind of Abu Nawas. It should be so, you're right
have often received gifts from the king. "
Without much talk anymore Abu Nawas take a rather large stick and beat him as much as twenty-five kali.Tentu only person screaming in pain and think of Abu Nawas has become insane.

After the watchman of the city gates of Abu Nawas pain left her, he kept walking back to his home. Meanwhile, the guard gate of fate complain to the Sultan Harun Al Rashid.
"Yes, my lord Shah Alam, pardon thousands of forgiveness. Servant come here
Abu Nawas complained that I had hit as many as twenty-five times without a mistake. Servant mohom justice of the lord king. "Majesty immediately ordered the guards to call the Abu Nawas.

After the Abu Nawas in the presence of the king he was asked. "O Abu Nawas! Did you have beaten the gatekeepers of this city as much as twenty-five times the punch?"
Abu Nawas said, "Have mercy, my lord, I do it because it was
should he receive the blow. "
"What do you mean? Try you explain causality you beat up people?" asked King.
"My lord," said Abu Nawas. "Servant and gatekeepers have
entered into an agreement that if I was given a gift by His Majesty the
prize will be divided in two. One part for him a part for me. Well this morning I received a gift of twenty-five times the punch, so I also give a gift of twenty-five times a blow to him. "
"Hi gatekeepers, did you have entered into an agreement
such as Abu Nawas, "said King.
"Yes my lord," replied the gatekeepers.
"But I think if the king gave no gifts blow."
"Hahahahaha basic handyman squeeze, now hit rock you!" Said
Majesty. "Abu Nawas not guilty, even now I know that guards the gates of Baghdad is a person who likes to blackmail people! If you do not change your bad behavior was so I would dismiss and punish you!"
"Have mercy, my lord," replied the gatekeepers with trembling.

Abu Nawas said, "My lord, I was tired, was willing to rest, was suddenly required to be present at this place, even though I no guilt. Servant ask for compensation. Because allotted time off because I've lost my lord calls. And tomorrow I have to find a living for my family. "
Sire moment, surprised by the protests of Abu Nawas, but suddenly he burst out laughing, "Hahahaha ... do not worry Abu Nawas."
His Majesty then ordered the royal treasurer to give a bag of silver money to the Abu Nawas. Abu Nawas went home with a heart happy. But Arriving at the house of Abu Nawas still acting weird and eccentric even more like a real madman.

One day Raja Harun Al Rashid held a meeting with his ministers.
"What do you think about the Abu Nawas want lifted as
cadi? "Wazir or Prime Minister said," Seeing the situation getting worse Abu Nawas that his brain then you should lord lift others just become qadi. "
Other ministers also expressed the same opinion.
"My lord, Abu Nawas has become insane because he did not deserve to be caddy."
"Well, we have to wait until twenty-one days, because his father had just died. If does not heal well so-so we look for cadi something else."
After over one month of Abu Nawas is still considered crazy, then Sultan Harun Al Rashid lift others into cadi or royal prince of Baghdad. It is said in seuatu big meeting there was someone named Polan which has long been ambitious to become Kadi, he affects people around the king to agree to if he was named Kadi, but when he submitted himself to the Kadi to easily Majesty King agreed.

Upon hearing Polan appointed qadi Abu Nawas then give thanks to God.
"Thank God I was released from custody terrible.
But., .. Alas why should that be a Kadi Polan, why not something else. "

Why is Abu Nawas behave like a madman? The story is this:
On a day when his father was seriously ill and he died about
Abu Nawas call to overlook. Abu Nawas was coming to find
his father is already weak limp. Said his father, "My son, I was almost dead. Now kiss my left ear and right ear."
Abu Nawas immediately obey his father's last request. He kisses your ear
Right-father, was aromatic, while the left is very foul smelling.
"Bagamaina my son? Did you kiss?"
"True Dad!"
"Ceritakankan with frankly, it smells int my ears."
"Oh sir, really surprising, that the right ear Mr. smell nice at all. But ... who really left a very foul smell?"
"My son Abu Nawas, know why this could happen?"
"O my father, try to tell thy son."

"One day two men came to me complaining about the problem. The one I listen to complaints. But the other one because I do not like then I heard no complaints. This is the risk of becoming Kadi (prince). If one day you like to be a Kadi then you will experience respects same, but if you do not like to be a Kadi then make a plausible reason for you not chosen as the Kadi by Sultan Harun Al Rashid. But he could not Sultan Harun Al Rashid must still choose you as the Kadi. "

Nan, that is why Abu Nawas pretending to be mad. Only for
avoid in order not appointed qazi, a cadi or
ruler at that time his position as judge to decide a
case. Although the Abu Nawas not be but he is often invited Kadi
consultation by the King to decide a case. In fact he often was forced to come to court just to answer the question Majesty the King of the weird and absurd.

MAY DAY (Labor Day) Posted by Titisan KenArok , at 12:58 PM, in Labels: History

 

MAY DAY (Labor Day)

This is the MAY DAY May 1, which commemorated as a day of international workers . May Day was born from the various series of working class struggle to gain control of the political economy of industrial rights. Serration serration heat-industrial era machinery membelalakkan eyes of the workers on the condition of society. The development of industrial capitalism in the early 19th century marks a drastic change of political economy, especially in Western capitalist countries. United States is a concrete example. Tightening discipline and the intensification of working hours, minimum wages, and poor working conditions at the factory level, reap anger and resistance from the working class.

There are two people that is considered to have contributed an idea to honor the workers , Peter McGuire and Matthew Maguire , a machine worker from Paterson, New Jersey. In 1872, McGuire and 100,000 workers went on strike demanding a decrease in working hours. He went on talking with the workers and unemployed people, lobbying the city government to provide jobs and overtime pay. McGuire became known as "bullies peace of society."

In 1881, McGuire moved to St. Louis. Louis, Missouri and began to organize carpenters. Finally established a unity consisting of a carpenter in Chicago, with McGuire as Secretary General of "United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America." The idea of ​​organizing workers according to their trades spread around the country. McGuire and laborers in other cities planned a holiday for workers on the first Monday in September in between Independence Day and Thanksgiving Day.

On September 5, 1882, the first Labor Day parade was held in New York City with 20,000 participants carrying banners that read 8 hours, 8 hours rest, 8 hours recreation. Maguire and McGuire played a key role in organizing this parade. In subsequent years, the idea spread and all states celebrated.

Pada1887, Oregon became the first state to make it a public holiday. In 1894. Presider Grover Cleveland signed a law that made the first week of September an official public holiday held on the First International nasional.Kongres September 1866 in Geneva, Switzerland, attended by various elements of workers' organizations around the world. Congress sets a demand to reduce working hours to eight hours a day, the previous (still in the same year) has made the National Labor Union in the U.S.: As these constraints represent the general demands of the United States working class, the changing demands of the congress has become common ground the working class worldwide.

One may set as the day the world working class struggle in the Congress of 1886 by the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions for, besides giving the moment demands eight hours a day, give a new spirit of working class struggle that reached a massive in that era. May 1 was chosen because in 1884 [Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, inspired by the success of labor action in Canada in 1872 requires eight hours of work in the United States and entered into force on 1 Mei1886.

Day laborers in Indonesia

Indonesia in 1920 also began to commemorate the day of Labour on 1 May. Ibarruri Aidit (DN Aidit eldest daughter) as a child with her ​​mother had attended the International Labor Day celebration in the Soviet Union, after the adults also attended the International Labor Day May 1, 1970 in Field Tian An Men PRC on the warning he attended also by Mao Zedong, Queen of Prince Sihanouk and his wife Monique, Prime Minister of Cambodia Pennut, Lin Biao (the second person of the Chinese Communist Party) and the Burma Communist Party leader Thaksin B Tan Tein.

But since the reign of the New Order was no longer celebrated Labor day in Indonesia, and since then, 1 May is no longer a public holiday to commemorate the role of unions in society and the economy. This is because the labor movement is connected with the communist movement and understand that since the incident in 1965 G30S taboo in Indonesia.

During Suharto's rule , the action for May Day commemoration in the category subversive activity, because May Day is always connoted with communist ideology. Connotation is clearly not fit, because the majority of countries in the world (most of which nonkomunis ideology, even embracing the principles of anti-communist), set May 1 as Labor Day and make it as a national holiday.

After the New Order era ended, though not a holiday, each dated May 1, re-bloom is celebrated by workers in Indonesia, with demonstrations in various cities.

Fears that a mass movement that mobilized workers each on May 1, led to riots, it was never proven. Since May Day commemoration in 1999 to 2006 there has never been destructive acts committed by the mass movement of workers who entered the category of "endangering public order." What happened instead repressive actions of security forces against the workers, because they are still guided by the old paradigm that assumes a May Day warning is subversive and masterminded the communist movement.
