atmosphere

Atmosphere is membran which wrapped the earth and make it a hospitable place for life. Atmosphere consist of five parts of layer and its contain will change with altitude.

The first layer is dry air at the earth’s surface called troposphere, it contain of 78,08 % nitrogen; 20,94 % oxygen; 0,93 % argon; 0,03 % carbon dioxide and less than 0,00005 % ozone. Troposphere is extending from the earth’s surface to an altitude of 9 to 16 km and its minimum temperatur is zero. It’s the place for many organism to live and its also place for all weather and mineral cycle was happened.

The second layer called stratosphere, it contain of ozone, that made when the oxigen molecules interacted with thunder and the UV rays. Ozone in this layer was reduces amount of ultraviolet light that reaches the earth surface, makes organism in earth protected from radiation mutation. Stratosphere is extending from the earth’s surface to an altitude of 10 to 45 km and its temperature is from – 45 to – 75 Celcius degree. Its also the place for the commersial plane to fly.

The third layer is called mesosphere, it is extending from the earth’s surface to an altitude of 45 to 80 km, its temperature reach – 138 Celcius degree.

The fourth layer is called thermosphere, it is the outer layer of atmosphere that extending from the earth’s surface to an altitude of 80 to 500 km. This layer is marked by increasing heat with its increase altitude. In thermosphere, there’s many gases which absorb the X rays and UV radiation. UV rays heat the thermosphere made its temperature untill 1000 Celcius degree. This layer is the first earth protector from the things out of the space like meteorite .

The Massive Cost of Space Exploration

I think Space Exploration is worth the cost. In the first place the average person benefits many ways from the technology developed for the space program. This technology probably keeps more of us alive than we realize. Who really knows if space exploration will produce anything usefull. We have really only been doing this for 50 years. That's a pretty small amount of time in history terms. It's very possible a great discovery may come from it, perhaps an energy source, who knows.

I like electronics

Nowadays, I really like electronics. For me, electronics is something challenging, if we could solve that electronics problems, it`s giving enjoyment and satisfaction. The beginning of my like to electronics was start on my Junior High School, when I get electronics lesson. Until my study in college, I always upgrade my capability and knowledge in order to increase my like to electronics. I hope it can give me benefit and also for the others.

I like electronics especially in hardware problems. I like that, because it`s needed in our daily life moreover in this modern era. Although, a lot of electronics application with software utilizing and computer programming, I prefer hardware to software handling.

Sound of Nature

I love to hear the sound of nature, like the sound of wave, the forest noise, the rustle of leaves, and when the bird sing in the morning or when the bats claps it wings in the midlle of the night. I love the sound of nature because every sound bring different sensation and it really can played the athmospher around me, sometimes the sound can relaxing, serene and peacefull, or sometimes it cause nape of the neck's hair to stand on end, it really give me many kind of feeling experience.

How the sound of nature can bring different athmospher is really amazed me. That make me think what a complex mechanism that can made those amazing sound, and make me sure that the Creator must be the Glorious one. The Sound of nature make me more grateful to Allah the Glorious for the amazing sound that He made and for my ear that able to hear.

The Benefits of Space-age Space Project Super Spending

(by: Erik Sentosa – 10203073)

Space exploration and observation programs, undeniable, have spent a large portion of finances. Those who own space exploration programs are usually highly-developed countries. Even though it’s expensive, it’s still considerably reasonable spending for it for some reasons. Devices and techniques from the space exploration continue to make our lives better. Space objects like telecommunication, weather and remote-sensing satellite have delivered large contribution to mankind even though they come neither easy nor cheap.

Space exploration and observation programs are also considered as investment by some countries that advanced in this technology. United States of America has number of satellites around the world to gain military, security, agricultural, energy and social information from the remote sensing satellites. It gives US another sensor to settle governmental policy in US diplomatic act.

Another prospective benefit in space exploration and observation programs is it delivers new technology from interplanetary observations such as Mars exploration. Although it’s still a long shot, it gives mankind expectation to find another planet to live after earth desolation because of environmental issues. It also helps scientists synthesize new theories, or just helps scientists to conform and confirm scientific theories that found in this world.

However, these costly projects in space exploration become unreasonable when they don’t deliver any development in a certain time. That’s why the government of respective countries demands specific results in a sharp time-frame and cost. Although it’s expensive, if considerably beneficial, it’s a go.

Harry Potter is my favorite book

I love to read book. Mostly I like the fiction book. Harry Potter is one of my favorite books. It’s tell story about a boy named Harry Potter, his life was change in his 11th
birthday. Harry Potter was accepted in a school of wizards “ Hogwarts School “.In this school his magical adventures was started too. His adventures is to fight a darkness power of Lord Voldemort and his follower the death eater.

All of Harry Potter adventures has been wrote in 7 books, it’s tell in every years since his 11th untill his 17th birthday. I’ve been read six from its seven book, I like to read all of them, eventhough all the book made in range 400 page it is not makes me feel boring, because its full of adventures that make me can imagine how the story happened. Besides give a fun story this book also give some advice like the meaning of friendship and braveness.

I love to read and discuss..

I love to read because reading can get me some knowledge. Sometimes, I discuss the thing I read with my friend. We explore our mind and next, we can get a conclusion about the problem we discussed together.

For example, recently, I had read the novel called “Chosen” it was about the lost diary of Queen Ester. Queen Ester was a Jew woman who became Queen of the Kingdom of Persia who ruled by king Xerxes. At the time, Jews was underestimated and Queen Ester tried to improve the fate of her people and her family. Queen Ester prayed all day long to save her people. In the end of the story, Queen Ester was successfully save the fate of her people and her family.

After I read the novel, there was a question in my mind. “Who was actually saved the queen and her people? is it her beauty? On the other hand, is it her God?

I discussed it with my friends and we had concluded that Allah (her God) had saved her life and her people because we thought that the beauty is the one of creation of our Great Creator.

I like listening to the Jazz music. It can make me enjoy and feel good. One of the reasons why I like jazz music is because this music easy listening. So that, if I listening this music when I have a problem or when my body tired after do activity wholeday, it can make my mind enjoy and fresh again.

On the contrary, I don’t like Rock music. It’s ‘hard’ music and no easy listening. If I listening this music when I have a problem, it can make my mind more confuse

My pleasure

I love everything about information technology. The first one is about making website, called webmaster. Before I am talking about my happiness in this term, I just want inform that I am not the expert. I just love it and try to learn more. Many things that I can express with push the keyboard in my computer and browse the internet. I always feel comfort when i spend many times in cyber world. One day I hope can make my own website with the flash basic. It is difficult for me to learn by doing because I have not informatic knowledge basicly. But the only things I want to do in my life is explore myself to make the best website. Actually I am not interesting enough in biology. So I always try search information technology by myself and my friend.

The second one is learning about network. One of them like Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), gateway, and so on. It is the pleasure for me to find out how one computer can be connected to the others. More than that, how Indonesian's network can be connected around the world. We can not pass the algorithm and mathematics idea to know how this network run. I am trying to make it sincronyze with my first pleasure in making website. I lost many time to make it real.

The Way I Relieve My Problems

I love to hang out with my friends. I have so much fun with them. I really love to do that especially when I was sad or got some problem. Although, sometimes they couldn’t solve my problem at all, but just to be with them made me relieved and forgot my trouble. Actually most of the times, I could get some good experience from them to solve the same kind of problem and it help me a lot.

I usually watch Japanese TV serial and animation to relieve my stress, besides hang out with my friends. There are some certain animations that I really like, Naruto is one of them. I like the storyline in Naruto. Naruto teaches me to never give up, to live, and to do everything wholehearted. Besides that, I can understand a bit about Japanese culture. It is really interesting to learn another culture besides of our own country’s culture.

I like watching football

I like watching football. As the most popular sports in the world, I always feel excitement tingling all over my body every time I see a football player do their magical movement. They dribble the ball gracefully, beautifully, and wonderfully as if they are dancing. The Brazilian players are some of the few who are very expert in doing that. To me, they look like a samba dancer in a football field. When watching football, I also feel thrilling sensation whenever a player from my favorite team has almost reach his opponent’s goal. It is very breathtaking to wait for the happening of a spectacular goal. Moreover, if it truly becomes a goal, all the feeling of joy and euphoria could not be compare to anything. In some way, watching football could also be a gate that brings to relaxation. For me, watching football could help me soothe my emotion, especially when I am angry and sad. When watching football, normally I will shout, yell, and even scream, sometimes with the addition of swearing words, and it helps me a lot to make all the angriness and sadness go away, so in the end I will feel so much lighter and relaxed than before. If you could experience football like I do, I know you will like watching football as much as I do.

playing football

There are several things that I like to do, such as playing football, watching video, hang out to tourism resort and of course I like studying, without it maybe I won't be here right now.
Playing footbal is a kind of hobby that I like most. I do this hobby in every weekend. I like playing footbal since I was 13. it begin when I saw my neighbour play his ball with an exciting style that i have ever seen. what an incredible perfomance is it! he is older than me. it was interesting to me. I want to be like him. And after that i started playing football until now, but I still cannot be like him.

My Favourite Music

I like listening to music. Though I can not sing well, I really enjoy the melody and appreciate the beautiful lyrics on it. I love any kinds of music, but I'm particularly interested in pop.


My favourite band is Kerispatih. It is a local band, originally from Indonesia. Kerispatih was formed on 2003. The members are Badai, Sammy, Anton, Arief, and Andika. Their first album, "Kejujuran Hati", was released on 2005. This album was very successful in Indonesia. They got Platinum Award on 2006 for their first album. Kerispatih released their second album on 2007, called "Kenyataan Perasaan". As their first album, they got a Platinum Award again for their second album.


I love both of their album. My favourite song is "Mengenangmu". It takes from their second album. It has a slow beat. It's good to help me sleep. I heard that just 45 minutes of relaxing music before bedtime can make for a restful night. But, you better choose a slow music, around 60 - 80 beats per minute. Forget counting sheep, next time you are having trouble dropping off to sleep try putting on a Kerispatih CD. It will help you to get a better night's sleep.

the things that i love.....

My name is Gilang Kinasihan. I really love my name, because of its meaning. In sundanese, it means someone who’s brilliant, full of love, and loved by everyone. Many people said that my name is very beautiful, and that’s why I’m very thankful and proud of it. I disagree with Shakespeare, because for me, name has thousand meanings and hopes from our parents.

I love to eat and all about culinary. Almost every weekend, either with my family or friends, I go somewhere to fulfill my desire to get delicious foods. Besides that, I love to cooking and baking. I often trying to practice the new recipes or cooking tips and offer the results to my family members. To get the information about food and cooking, I read from woman’s magazine, searching at internet, or cooking books.

My favorite animal is cat. I think that all kind of cat is very cute. I love to play with it. I have a lot of cats’ photos and other cat’s stuffs as my collection. Although I love cat so much, I haven’t cat at home. My mom dislikes it, so I have to obey her order to not bring any cat into the house.

"DragonZakura"

I like to watching movies, especially japanesse drama. it is different from "sinetron" in Indonesia. it's only have 11 to 12 episodes each and every episode has different conflict and solution. Not like "sinetron" which have a lot of episodes even until hundred episodes and the stories are become boring. I like to the japanesse drama because every drama that I watched must be have a lot of meaning words that correlated in life. for example the drama with title above, DragonZakura, it is a story about a lawyer that enter to one school which have very low grade at that city and he wants to put at least five students to Tokyo University. It seems impossible for the first time because besides the students are very naughty and stupid, the teachers and the headmaster also don't have eagerness to the students. In the end of the story, after almost a year of hardworking, tears, insulting, family problems, etc, from six students who join the Tokyo University's exam, there's three students who succeed and the last three who aren't. From this drama, I learn to be a strong and spiritful person. If I can do the best to reach my dream, I can be able to reach it. Every decision that I make is right as long as I can take a responsibility of it. This drama really make myself to be more confident and do the best.

Besides of japanesse drama, I like to watching another genre of movies too. But, I'd prefer to watching movies that have a message to give to the audiences. So, when I watch, I can take a valuable thing that can make myself to be a better person. I also like to watching Movies with high-tech effect, so I can feel the high adrenalin when watching it and admiring the director who made it, what a brilliant person. Such as movies like Trilogy Lord Of The Ring, Forrest Gump, Beautiful Mind, I am Legend, NagaBonar, etc.

From movies that I watch, I can refresh myself from daily activities without ignoring the value of its story. So, I can relaxing my brain plus developing my sense. Hopefully, there always a good movies to watch from western, middle east, japan, and especially from own country.

[Ardita Fanisa -10205008]

dirt is in my blood.

There are two things in life that I love doing. The first one is mountain biking. Mountain biking is one of the sports that I enjoyed the most. Through this sport I learn how to decide quickly, how to focus on the trail and also how to control emotion and the body movement of myself. Just like the other sport, it is simply the combination through our sensor system that being controlled by our brain, but the difference is on the adrenaline rush. Just by a click of a time, I have to control the bike in the most efficient way—so I don’t fall off the bike—to prevent the injuries that might happen. There are three main category of mountain biking. They are downhill, all-mountain and cross-country. I used to play downhill in Cikole, Lembang. It has three different kinds of downhill track. While in all-mountain I used to go to Tangkuban Perahu, Jayagiri, Palintang Mountain, Situ Lembang and Sukawana. Each place has different-beautiful scenery, for example there is a waterfall in Jayagiri route and also the mystery of Seeweh rainforest in Situ Lembang. Cross-country route that I used to ride is the Lembang trail through Cijengkol. Whatever the route I ride I just simply like it.

The second one is off-road driving. Since my dad bought me a four-wheel-drive vehicle, I often go to the mountain, just to go camping or testing my driving skill ability in an off-road condition. Driving a car in an off-road condition is different than driving in solid asphalt. We really have to know the ability and the limit of our own vehicle. Mostly, in off-road driving we are in a low-traction situation, such as in a puddle of mud. Basically, in this situation, a mechanism that makes the four tires has traction is needed, so the vehicle can be pulled out of the mud. Even though, the vehicle has already have two differentials system and a transfer case that make it a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the driving skill ability is the most important role among other things in off-road driving. No matter how high-tech the vehicle is, it’s just the matter of who the man behind the steer is. One of the events that I had competed was the West Java Adventure on 2006.

I LIKE TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC (Erik Sentosa – 10203073)

I like to listen to the music. I set my mood by listening to the music. Since I realize that mood affects ability to focus, I do think music is very basic. I usually put some songs with same BPM (beat per minute) rate in a playlist. It gives continuity between two different tracks. I also turn the “shuffle” mode on. This random mode keeps me out of boredom that I used to feel in using CD player.

Basically I choose several genres like trip-hop, easy-electronics and pop to ease up my mind. Some singles by Daft Punk or Lenny Kravitz could ease up my mind but still gives energy to do my routines. I usually listen to these songs when switching to easier activity. However I don’t get the same vibes when listening to Coldplay or Five for Fighting. Their songs are most likely tranquilizing, which I only listen when I got nothing important to do.

As what I do when easing up my mind, when I need energy, I put several upbeat tracks in my playlist. Rocks never fail in keeping me sharp. Gym Class Heroes, Jay Kay and Fall Out Boys are in my playlist these days. /RIF and The Fly are local bands who are in. These bands tend to make me act more aggressively. I have to let the energy flowing without losing control in doing my works.
