AN ISRAEL IN EAST NUSA TENGGARA

In 650.BC Jewish kingdom (North Kingdom) lost and carried to banishment in Media and Persia (Iran and Iraq). When Persia kingdom was being powerful, their dominion covered Ethiopia (Africa) to India. Even since 722.BC Israel kingdom (North Kingdom) that consist of 10 clans have carried by Asyur, then gave to nations which under Asyur dominion and when Roman colonized Palestine and Central Asia since 63.BC untilappearance of Christian in 1 Century, when highways built for people to reach easily all parts of the Roman emperor dominion. Israel spread out mostly entire town of Roman emperor as trader (New Testament Prefacepg. 4-5)and at this time there was a great trading relationship between Western (Roman Emperor) and Eastern (Chinese Emperor).

As part of Roman emperor, Hebrew trader arrived in Maluku with Roman’s trading partnership that was Chinese Trader. One of strength proofs in 1 century that ingredients from Maluku have ever been trading in Jerusalem. Because in 33 century, some of Jewish women: Marry Magdalena and her friends bought ingredients in Jerusalem to preserve Jesus Christ body (Mark 16:1). Another chance of Israel arrived in Maluku was they went by their own self after they knew it from Chinese Trader. In Maluku History book 19 pg. stated that Maluku is coming from ”Maloko” that was a title of Kalano (a Chief). “Maloko” according to Resley come from Hebrew. King in Hebrew is “Melek” or “Melekh”. An old word is “Maliki” (EKAMK II pg 292) so that in Tambo Tang dynasty in China (619-906) “Maluku” listed as “Miliku” that was an area being used for pole of indicator to Holing emperor (Kalingga) in western.

Another word similar with Maloko is Molokh that is god was being glorified by BaniAmon. Hebrew of that name is “Molek”. In Old Testament Molek generally has synonym(Imamate 18:21; 20:2-5, 2 Kings 23:10, Jeremiah 32:35)”Molokh” in these subsections imply that a probably generally word for a leader (EKAMK II pg 93). Thus, Maloko addressed to a Kalano comes from culture and language of Hebrew. Molekh(Moloch) is in Hebrew means king. Malokois called Maluku (Molokhus), Maluku is called Kings Islands. According to Resley “Alifuru” is a word for people who lived in Maluku at the first time not Arab (Alif) because faraway before influence of Arab (Islamic) come to Maluku in the middle of XIV century there have been a clans live in Maluku that spread out from Nusa Ina and Halmahera stated by an anthropologist A.H. Keane, F.J.P.Sanchese and O.D. Tauren call the clan “Alfuros”. Alfuros is probably taken from Alifuru, although the word shows in the very beginning Human comprehension. Because Alifuru related to Maloko, Baelue, Seniri and chief of clan culture that Alluf is going to be unsuitable. Alif appeared after Arab come to Maluku but Alfuros show that the name of clan which has found by experts, that is Alune live either Nusa Ina (Seram) and Halmahera who havegovernment system, called ALLUF that is a leadership to be handed by a chief clan. This culture was in the very beginning applied by “Edom” Esau’s descendant, Jacob’s brother (Israel) Isaac’s son. In Maluku called chief clan, and chief soa. Alluf in Hebrew is:

-   Commander, leader (Hebrew-Indonesia Dictionary pg 11)

-   Chief clan in Edom then called King (Genesis 36:19,31)

At the end of his book, Resleystated that entire resident of Maluku is descendant of Gad clan that is Israel clan has suspected being lost and never found anymore. This is the only one clan which has no representation in Israel now.

Golden gate opened and filled of Jesus Christ prophetic words come for twice to lead the world in Jerusalem will be filled if twelfth clans have gathered in Zion (Israel)including Gad which Resley called Jewish Alfuros.

JewishAlfuros (Gad clan) spread out to western drop by Rote island and live in eastern called Beluba and south west Thie.

According to chief ethnics in Rote, they always call Seram and Tidore as ancestor of Rote people. The ancestor comes consecutively. The history of Rote ancestor is unreleased from the Three Brothers Belu Mau, Sabu Mau and Ti Mau. Belu Mau lives in Belu after his drop by Rote. In Eastern Rote, Belu Mau named the area Beluba now is called Bilba. In Beluba (Bilba) in the colonized of Holland, there has ever a small kingdom Beluba with the king called “Mane Kaioe” from Kaioe clan.

Belu Mau then sailed to Timor Islandand he is an ancestor of Belu people up now. Youngest Ti Mau sail to Southwest Rote, this is named NusakThie. Sabu Mau continues his sail to Sawu Island. The ancestor called Rote Island is KaleIsland, by nickname Nusa Ne Do Lino, means A Peaceful and Restful Land.

INDONESIAN EDUCATIONAL

Followings are generally cleared a couple of lowly educational factors in Indonesian:

1.      Effectiveness of Educational in Indonesia

The effectiveness of educational is an education which make possible the education participant can learn easily, pleasantly, and reached the expected goal. Thus, educators (lecturer, teacher, instructor and trainer) are demanded to increase effectiveness of learning process so that the learning is benefit. During the learning process nowadays, many opinions consider that formal education is valued just to be a formality of Indonesian human resource. It does not concern with how the goal of study, the most important thing that it has implemented education up to the next higher level educational and considered as a greatest by society.This perception makes lowlier effectiveness education in Indonesia. Each person has their own capability and expected be able to take suitable education with their own talent and interest.

On high school as an example, a student has capability in social subject forced to study science subject will make lowlier effectiveness education output than suitable education with their own talent and interest. Those are held in Indonesia.

2.      Efficient Educating in Indonesia

Efficient is how to generate reflectivity of a goal by an “inexpensive” process. Education will be better if we consider a better process. Lack of efficient educations in Indonesia that is a very expensive education, insufficient learning instruments and educators quality. They are supporting the efficient of education in Indonesia reached the main aim that is to fight foolishness. An expensive education in Indonesia is still become more crucial thing for government. Year by year created school-cut off children in almost a half of Indonesia children population. Strangely, government has organized education fund supplied (BOS Bantuan Operasional Sekolah/School Aim Operational) so that there will be an inexpensive education to entire schools either government school or private school and either informal school or formal school. In this condition government considered that they have fight foolishness. But actuality, government considered failure by society. They think that as a nation labeled corrupter, education Funds that would be applied for school operational, buying school instruments to stimulate the children’s alibi to hold knowledge for their future and increasing educators’ quality would be scraped off by “Rats” in government.In this matter Educational Service at entire regencies of Indonesia.

3.      Physique facility quality

School facilities in Indonesia become “a murderer” for children. It can not be imagined that there many students are in teaching-learning process under a breakable building. They are learning while watching their life that would be taken by big walls collapse at any moment. Some areas in Indonesia cause many children must accept their destiny as a learned person in dirty place, such as under bridge and bank for homeless children at big town corner or unworthy building being leaf-roofed that will collapse when rainy season at any moment. In Northwest Amfoang,Kupang regency, East Nusa Tenggara province. Rainy season become “frighten ghost” for a number of children, there will be many children must wager their life to cross the river for school. There is no crossing-bridge or any support mega structure as in California, Tokyo or London. But it does not make they spirit goes down and always keep on their selves to take education although swift stream.

4.      Educator Prosperity

Educator (Teacher, lecturer, or trainer) is a facilitator of educational beside instruments as a facility. He or she has to prepare all matters and methods excellently to be done in class. It has to be easily stimulating, and giving an experience pleasantly.

That is a few writer opinion based on his three-years-teaching experience in Northwest Amfoang. It is true that a teacher must present a comfortable in class to students. If the students feel comfortable with you, they will make you satisfied by their achieving and it is going to make you feel how great you are.

In Indonesia, the role of teacher got a few stained by government. There many quality teachers have to face their destiny as honorary. They get no enough paid. As an honorary teacher is an unforgettable experience how to manage your life and how to get students’ achievement. Educational Service has prepared a lot of funds to honorary teachers who listed in government contract which carried out between Educational Service and Teachers. Government will pay Rp1.050.000,-/month salary and Rp900.000/months is a monetary allocation for teachers. Seemed from the amount offered by government will be stimulating teachers increase their quality to obtain students good achievement but reality, it is not enough to help honorary teachers’ prosperity moreover clogged payment up months so that it makes teachers feel uncomfortable with their role.Teachers’ prosperity becomes problematic in this nation. Their hard work, destiny, time, and wage corrupted by “Rats” very little for the sake a number of people importance.  

BETAWI DODOL (a flavour meal for Christmas)

Dodol is one of Betawi (Jakarta native ethnic group) special meal. Not only as a meal, Dodol

is stronger of its culture substance. This meal is always served in religious matters day such Lebaran, Idul Adha or Christmas for Nazarene. Betawi people state that Dodol is a ringleader of cookie. Even though there many cookies are served in religious matter day, it is incomplete without Dodol. 

Known as a snack, Dodol is generally brown-darkness and sweet. Differentiate of Betawi dodol with dodol in other areas in Indonesia is its variant taste. Betawi dodol is served in three kind of taste; white ketan, black ketan, and durian. Meanwhile other areas dodol have more twelve tastes. But nowadays, many people believe that Betawi dodol has almost vanished. It is caused by increasingly people who have able to make dodol. To perpetuate and to defend the existence of this native Betawi meal must be implemented appreciation to younger generation. 

Making a quality and really delicious dodol is not easy. It needs a good ability, and longer process. Need eight to twelve hours without stop to scramble. Traditionally made, it is using Tumang (fireplace, made of banana tree root) and firewood.

Raw ingredient of dodol is commonly similar. Consist of ketan rice, red sugar, white sugar and coconut milk. But the election of ingredient effects to the result and taste. Selected ketan disable to mix with other rice or other mixture. And coconut milk should be old coconut, not a green coconut because will effect to durableness.

Prepare the traditional equipment such; kawa (wok, usually made of loam soil) to cook dodol dough, nyiru (a rice sieve, made of bamboo) to clean ketan as a base ingredient, and gelo (a stick to stir). Dodol made by comparison a kilogram of ketan, two kilogram of sugar, and four coconuts to make coconut milk.

Ketan will be refined by using alu and lumpang (a pounder made of wood); coconut will be rasped for making coconut milk. 

Ingredients of Dodol

Way that is going to do is cooking red sugar and white sugar stir, mix coconut milk and ketan (black or white ketan) then stir up. Dodol mixer is usually done by men who have good fit body. Because when we mix dodol with gelo in kawa needs stronger power. And the mix man also understand how to determine sort of charcoal used. A good charcoal usually used is litchi fruit wood. Charcoal used emits smock make dodol smell sangit (scorched), and smock taste. Mix man also knows charcoal warm level beneath kawa. Dodol will be bantet (imperfectly ripe), if charcoal warm level is unbalance. Dodol appearance can be likely is not exotic after ripe, but the taste is unbelievable delicious. Dodol will be endured for months. Although dodol outer looked solid, it’s soft inner. 

Stir never stop to get well and delicious 

Charcoal warm level is attended to avoid scorched 

Central produce of Betawi dodol can be found in Condet (Eastern Jakarta), Kalibata (Southern Jakarta), Eastern Pejanten (Monday Market, southern Jakarta), Cenger village (Sukatani, Bekasi regency), Bekasi, Pondok Gede (Bekasi), depok, then Bojong and Jonggol (Bogor regency). 

PARKOUR Art of Motion

According to quotation, up now at least there are 41 towns which have parkour community in entire Indonesia such as; Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Palembang, Padang, Kendari, Bandar Lampung, and Makasar.

But remember measure your fearfulness and braveness with courage meter we will act improperly, stupidly, or even got accident when we are too much courageous. Too much discourage thus will be nothing at all. So, balance fearfulness and braveness.
