A Brief and Accurate Description of World War II

2011-05-22T21:46:00.002+07:00

Since this is the first time I post a scarlet in this blog, (knowing that this scarlet is the 4th edition already) let's just pray that i don't get yelled by my head of division.

Check this one out, the first online scarlet!

A Brief and Accurate Description of World War II

Germany invades Czechoslovakia. Britain & France tell them to stop that bullshit.

Germany invades Poland.(Russia also invades Poland from the other side: everybody forgets this.)

Britain & France declare war. This is the 'official' kick-off.

Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, & Romania all join the German side. (Everybody forgets the last three.)

Axis forces go through Europe like vindaloo through a colostomy.

Nazis exterminate Jews, gays, gypsies, & the disabled. (everybody remembers the jews but forgets the rest.)

UK holds out. Russia & the USA don't do shit.

Entire divisions of Danish, Belgian, Dutch, Norwegian, French & Serbian volunteers join the Axis armies & SS. (everybody forgets this & to listen to them now, they were all in the F*CKING resistance, which must have been MASSIVE.)

Axis forces invade Russia. Suddenly the Russians don't think it's funny anymore.

Japan joins the Axis & bombs Pearl Harbor. Suddenly the US doesn't think it's funny anymore.

The USA tools up the world, 'cause it's got more factories than everybody else put together, & they're out of bomber range.

Axis runs out of steam in Russia, cause Russia's enormous & bloody freezing.

Allies invade on D-Day… 5 landings: 2 British, 2 American, 1 Canadian. (everybody forgets the Canadians.)

Hitler ends up smouldering in a ditch. Russians find the body & confirm he only had one ball. Seriously.

The US decides invading stuff is a pain in the ass and invents the atom bomb instead. Drops two buckets of sunshine on Japan.

Russians steal half of Europe.

UK's spent almost every penny it had.

US starts telling everybody how it was all about them, & 64 years later is still doing so.

“Some of the World War II guys in 'Call of Duty' have, like, foreign accents… what's up with that?”

Okay, well, that's a story that i put in our 4th scarlet, thank you.

Angel and Devil Stereotype in United 93

2010-01-22T10:50:00.004+07:00

Today, I opened my laptop to see what’s inside my moopi folder. Three films wait in my waiting list. I choose United 93, it is a hollywood documentary drama about hijacking. United 93 brings back our memories to the 11th September 2001 when 2 commercials airplane crashed World Trade Center. The story is based on true story, but it’s not about those two planes crashed WTC, it’s about another commercial airplane hijacked in the same time with the same groups, but it’s not success to reach the target.

The story began with an Arabs read a holly Quran. Those people WERE the ones who did the hijacking or nowadays they are called Terrorist. In the beginning of the story, the Arabs depicted as a pious Muslim, they prayed and read holly Quran to calm their selves down before doing the action of hijacking that they would do in United 93.

I was not surprise about the depiction of the hijacker in this film as media depict the same picture of Terrorist especially when it relates to USA and WTC. It’s usual to see terrorist labeled to Arabs or Muslims, especially after the 11th September. This stereotype grows well as the media also keep this depiction. It’s not only news media but also film. It’s been many American movie made portray Arabs-Muslims as Terrorist with turban and bomb. United 93 shows clearly about devil and angel, on how the hijacker will kill the passenger who defend themselves with a knife while their mouth said AllahuAkbar and the passengers pray to God to save them in Christian and Catholic way. This is how film can brainwash people’s mind about the teaching of a religion whereas it’s not about the teaching but it’s about the people.

The problem of stereotyping never can be separated from film and media as it’s a nature that media will be the best weapon to label a group of people and to spread an ideology. This is also stereotyping which create a gap between communities because they have a bad idea about something and in this case a religion.

I will not deny that until the end of the film I was touched by the story and hatred came to my heart when I saw the hijacker. People who do not know the real teaching of a religion, in this case is Islam will give a bad judgment, even it will emerge hatred towards Islam itself.

I think it’s a hard task to movie maker to create such a good movie based on true story without involving a stereotype, but it will be better if the movie do not involve a pray or religious aspect in the movie or what will emerge is bias that will create a hatred toward a group of people.

“Career Prospect of English Department Graduate”: Share Experiences with Seniors

2010-01-21T18:58:00.003+07:00

On Tuesday, January 12, 2010 has been performed a seminar in Third Building Second Floor Seminar Room, the Faculty of Letters and Fine Arts, Sebelas Maret University. This seminar was held to give motivations for students of Strata 1 English Department students of Sebelas Maret University. The speakers were Mr. Irawan Nugroho, Prof. Drs. MR. Nababan, MA. M. Ed. PhD, and Mr. Ishom.
Mr. Irawan who called Iwan is working in United States of America as a staff. He said that there is no relation between education majors and job. The grads of English Department are not always work in literature area. Mr. Irawan told that some of his friends from English Department working in other area like journalistic, banking even parliament member or regent. “Strata 1 certificate is the main requirement to get a job”, said the man who likes to climb mountains.
Mr. Ishom has felt many unforgettable experiences because he became an English Department student. When he was interviewed by USA reporter, he was told that his English is good. That’s made him proud.

Follow Your Heart

2009-08-26T09:54:00.002+07:00

Against The Grain
by City and Colour

You need not, to climb mountaintops
You need not, to cross the sea
You need not, to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak.
You need not to reach for the stars,
when life becomes so dark
and when the wind
does blow against the grain
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

when all your friends
have come and gone
the sun no longer shines
the happiness for which you long
is washed away, like an oceans tide
when all the hard times, outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood
when the day seems lost from the stars
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

If you feel, you paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love in life,
spins like a winding wheel
if you should wake, to find you're abandoned.
and the road you travel, leads to a dead end
when death creeps in, to play it's part.
you must you follow your heart
you must follow your heart

====
well, it's true that what we need in life is following our heart.

Advantages of Blog

2009-04-14T03:05:00.002+07:00

Blogs are probably the easiest way to have a website. With blog software, it literally takes minutes to have a professional looking site up and running. These are the five things I like the most about blogs:

Blogs are easy to create:

You don't need expensive or complicated web editors or web design software to create a blog. Blog vendors offer you a variety of templates you can choose from. Most likely you will find among them one that offers the look and feel you're looking for. Your only web design expense may very well be to pay a graphics artist to design an attractive logo that makes your site unique.

Blogs are easy to maintain:

Blog software allows you to post online, which means that you won't need to bother with FTP software. This also means that you can post anywhere, not just from your own computer. You may be in a hotel room in China, and if it has an internet connection you can log in and update your website from your web-based control panel. Your blog's software will automatically move your most recent post to the top, while archiving older posts by date or by topic, so you don't ever have to bother to move web pages around.

Blogs are search-engine-friendly:

Since blogs assign each post an individual URL address, each of them will have it's own, separate web page. If you take care of making each post very focused on a specific topic and carefully choose the keywords that best describe your post (using them in the post title and post body), they will stand a very good chance of ranking well with the search engines. Also, since blogs tend to be updated regularly, search engines will crawl them often (search engines love fresh content), adding your new posts to their index.

Blogs allow you to interact with your customer base:

The best websites allow your customers to interact with you and give feedback. Since blogs offer you the option of enabling a "comments" field after your posts where readers can give you feedback, your visitors will not only be more inclined to come back, but you will have at your disposal an effective and inexpensive way to get to know your customers better.

Many great blog hosts are free:

There are several excellent services that offer blog hosting for free. The most well known of them is Blogger, a free blog service owned by Google. Signing up takes minutes, it offers many different templates and customization options, and also gives you the option of tying your blog with your Google Adsense account. That way, not only is the service free, but you can also make money. The downside to all these great advantages is that they have encouraged the creation of a huge number of me-too and low quality blogs that don't add value and hardly get any traffic. Don't fall into that trap. Before jumping to create a blog, remember that to be successful you must write about a focused and original topic, or offer a unique perspective on a common theme. In the end, as the cliché says, it all boils down to quality content.bd14582_.gif (185 bytes)

Engish Department Community Logo in Jumper

2009-04-13T04:56:00.003+07:00

Different from the typical logo of English Department, rectangle with a big E inside, the logo for the Jumper is totally different. It’s more casual, eye-catching, and of course, greener. There are many philosophical meaning can be found from the new logo actually.

In this Logo, EDCOM letter is surrounded by kinds of environmental things which make it looks healthier, fresher, and once again, greener. It shows that, though EDCOM is student’s organization, but it is environment safe also. That’s why, it is hoped that all EDCOMers are not being apathetic with the environment around.

The green colour dominating the logo also means more than one meaning. Firstly, green is the colour of the healthy plants. They produce oxygen to all creatures around them, so those creatures can live their life. Just like EDCOM, this organization tries giving EDCOMers skill, ability, and inspiration in facing the world, so that all of them can live their life effectively, happily, and inspiringly. Secondly, green is the colour of the new beginning. From this reason, it is expected that EDCOM can bring hope to all people inside and outside this organization. And for the next meanings, you can interpret it by yourself!! cos the space is limited to describe all the meanings.

Overall, the new logo of English Department Community in our beloved Jumper shows the spirits of EDCOM itself, which are environment safe, beneficial to the people, motivating, and of course, inspiring.

American Culture Seminar

2009-01-01T03:42:00.003+07:00

Saturday, December 20, 2008 RnD (Research and Development Division) had successfully held a seminar entitled “Talk show: American Culture”. It was a cool seminar that was started at 09.30 a.m. until 11.30 a.m, in the fourth building of FSSR, UNS.
Additionally, the committees invited Mr. Taufiq Al-Makmun and also Ms. Angela Brown to be the speakers in that seminar. Both of them presented very informative and also entertaining presentations about American culture. The core agendas of that seminar were divided into 2 sessions. The first session was a presentation of Mr. Taufiq Al-Makmun, his presentation was about American Culture and Values; Shaped by American Experience. Mr. Taufiq explained some topics about The First Americans, The Colonies, Independence Day, and The Rise of Hollywood until The Decade of Change. It was a great presentation. Not only that, this big event was still continued by a presentation about American Values, delivered by Ms. Angela Brown. She was so fascinating in sharing her experience about American Values.
In addition, this event was actually designed by the committees as the pinnacle event of ECHO meetings. Frankly speaking, the committees were extremely surprised with the number of unexpected participants who attended that seminar, around 65 participants joined that seminar, some participants even had to sit outside the room because of the limitation of the chairs. Hehehe  But of course, they were still spiritful to listen the presentations.
After the presentations ended, there was a question and answer session, so the participants did not only sit and listen to the speaker, but they also had an opportunity to interact with the speakers. Sounded nice, was not it? In the end of the meeting, there were some announcements about awards from the committees and also photo session.
Overall, all of RnD members just can say thank you for all of the assistants and co-assistants of ECHO, the participants of ECHO, and also the committees of seminar for the participations and cooperation in supporting ECHO activities. 
Well, we will wait, what other divisions that will give the next surprise for EDCOM?

Intermezzo (Album review)

2008-11-22T23:13:00.003+07:00

Good news for Britney mania around the world!! A brand new era of Britney almost come to our day. It is called Circus Era. You know what? Circus is the title of Britney's fresh album, 6th album overall, which will be released in the beginning of December. Thea album is produced by the outsiders, May Martin, Bloodshy. and Avant, Nate "Danja" Hills, and many more.
Even though the album has not issued yet, but i had a premonition that this extra cool album will follow the success of her previous album. And it must be!! Started with her first single Womanizer. Britney successfully breaks a record since the single jumped from 96 position to the top position in U.S. Billboard Hot 100, The song is the first #1 in U.S. since her baby, 10 years prior, it's all up because in the first week of its release the video had been watched by over 20 million people all around the world in Youtube.
And the follow up single will be Circus, which will be scheduled on December release. There's gonna be lots of cool track in this album, try to listen Kill The Light, talks about the relationship between Britney and paparazzi, and there are If You Seek Amy, Mmm Papi, and some of bonus tracks such as Radar and Phonography. I guess that most of the song on this album are up beat tempo, catchy, hot, sexy, exuberant. It just typically Britney.
Ok readers,, are you ready for this huge crash? for the people who call themselves "a loyal/biggest Brittamya" this album is a must have!! You will play this album over and over again, and you will never get enough from her. Moreover, the album's gonna blow up your head! And for you who don't realy like Britney, it's no wrong to try to listento the song, who knows that you're gonna get into her rhyme. LOL. The last one, I only can say "what an extra extra anticipated album".

Jack's Mannequin - The Glass Passenger (2008)

Here's another great album from Jack's Mannequin, "The Glass Passenger"
In this sophomore album, Andrew McMahon offers different sound from his first "Everything in Transit".
Though the songs are not ears-friendly as the first album, but the typical of Andrew's writing is composed perfectly.
We will find 13 songs that are more mature, emotional, and skillful than before.
I can't say that this album is worse than the first, cause there're amazing songs you should listen more than once to get the rhythm.
just listen his single "The Resolution", then, prepare to be drawn on that wonderful song.
Overall, this album is worth to get for Jack's Mannequin's Fan or anyone who wants to listen meaningful songs.

Halloween Party

2008-11-08T04:49:00.002+07:00

Halloween party conducted by EDCOM at FSSR parking lot was absolutely exciting. Why not? students marched in an had fun together with their cheeriest smile.
There were several booths available there; dart, bubbling apples, trick or treat & truth or dare, haunted corner, fortune teller, and many more.
Without any doubt, enthusiasm reached the sky. Visitors visited every booth bringing so much pleasure.
The lectures were in the same energy. They costumed themselves in a great funny costume that made everyone smile.
Besides, there were also costume contest, bonfire, and marshmallow time. Evening was complete with movie time as the last show.
One thing that made the atmosphere uncomfortable. it's the temperature. It was really hot in that place, though that's not a big matter for us at that moment.
So keep your eyes to EDCOM, cos we will have another surprise later.

Inauguration Night 2008

2008-10-20T05:08:00.004+07:00

Well...
What can i say about Inauguration Night 2008 ? i think words are inadequate.
That was really great, exciting, and entertaining evening. (that's true)
Two thumbs way up for the committee (ED 07) for holding that evening. And Four thumbs way up also for their drama, Message Under The Desk, so exciting. There's so many nice director, actors, & actress on that place. Actually, I don't event think before that those person will conduct the drama, but those were. And it's really great. But, only one thing that made me wondering until now. How's the ending guys? i didn't get that? (so sorry my friends!!).

Better that Broadway was also much better than before. Ballad of Birmingham, that's so emotional. Honestly, I like the part when the guitar strung out wildly and the narrator screamed out really loud, spreading all her beautiful words to the audience. Hey!!! That was the moment I looked for. It inspired me to write a song.
And for ED 2008, your drama is great also. Made me laugh all the time. Good work guys!!!

Furthermore, i got more that just fun on that evening.
I felt the atmosphere reminded me with the old Inauguration of ED 06, when i was the part of the freshmen.

Last but not least. Thanks once again to the committee and everybody for bringing that moment in front of my eyes, my ears, and my consciousness. I'm waiting for the next surprise!!!

Thanks from ED 2006

Wajah Baru di Generasi yang Baru

2008-09-27T06:57:00.000+07:00

Metamorfosa, itulah kata yang cocok untuk sebuah perubahan yang dihadirkan dalam Blog EDCOM terbaru ini. Layaknya sebuah kepompong yang menjelma menjadi seekor kupu-kupu, EDCOM atau Himpunan Mahasiswa Jurusan Sastra Inggris juga menjelma menjadi sebuah organisasi yang dapat menyongsong hari esok dengan penuh visi, misi, dan kemantapan hati.

Blog terbaru inipun adalah sebuah perubahan yang juga ditawarkan oleh EDCOM untuk mensosialisasikan diri di dunia maya yang serba cepat ini. Dengan Blog ini pulalah saya (Head of Merchandiser/KWU div.) ingin memberikan kesempatan kepada kepala-kepala divisi yang lain untuk ikut berpartisipasi dalam meramaikan Blog ini.

Mungkin banyak yang bertanya, mengapa sekarang bahasa yang digunakan adalah Bahasa Indonesia, bukannya Bahasa Inggris. Inipun juga merupakan langkah yang diambil untuk dapat memberikan informasi yang lebih jelas kepada khalayak ramai terutama di Indonesia mengenai jurusan Sastra Inggris UNS. Agar mereka tahu bahwa Sastra Inggris UNS merupakan jurusan yang memang pantas untuk disandingkan dengan jurusan-jurusan terhormat yang lain di negeri ini.

Akhir kata dari saya, semoga Blog ini mampu memberikan cahaya terang yang menerangi mahasiswa Sastra Inggris khususnya di tengah hamparan kegelapan yang membentang luas bagaiakan samudera di tengah kehampaan.
