2014 ELECTION

European elections results 2014: Farage and Ukip top poll as Europe swings to the right

Nigel Farage inflicted another body blow on the three main political parties on Sunday night as Ukip scored a stunning victory in the European Parliament elections.

The anti-EU party dramatically built on its success in the local elections in England last Thursday when the results of the Euro poll on the same day were announced. A jubilant Mr Farage hailed the outcome as “an earthquake” because “never before in the history of British politics has a party seen to be an insurgent party ever topped the polls in a national election”.

The Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats conceded that Ukip had come first, with just Northern Ireland left to declare on Monday afternoon.

At 12.30pm it was confirmed that Ukip had taken its first ever Scottish seat, taking the party's total to 24 - almost double the 13 seats it won in the last Euro elections in 2009. The result from Scotland was delayed because the Western Isles local authority does not count votes on a Sunday.

The Tories, who came first last time with 25 seats, have suffered the humiliation of dropping to third place for the first time ever in a national election. They secured just under 24 per cent of the vote, losing six seats.

Labour claimed victories in Wales, the North East and North West of England and London to take 25.4 per cent of the vote, and with two seats in Scotland increased its number of MEPs by nine to 20.

But the Liberal Democrats suffered a disastrous result, falling to an embarrassing fifth place behind the Green Party amid increasing grassroots pressure on Nick Clegg to stand down as party leader.

Lib Dem fears of a total wipeout were raised when they lost their seat in the one-time stronghold of the South West. Sir Graham Watson, president of the Liberal group in the European Parliament, was ousted by the Greens. However, they avoided the worst humiliation by winning one seat in the South East. Nationally, the Greens added a single seat to take three overall.

Across the EU, nationalist and Eurosceptic parties made big gains amid predictions that they would double their strength in the European Parliament. In France, Marine Le Pen's Front National  topped a nationwide poll for the first time in its history, with the anti-immigrant party predicted to take 25 per cent of the vote and win as many as 24 seats in the European Parliament.

Ms Le Pen said France had “shouted loud and clear” that it wanted to be run “by the French, for the French and with the French” and not by “foreign commissioners” in Brussels. Manuel Valls, France’s Socialist Prime Minister, said the victory was “more than a shock, it's an earthquake”.

Turnout across the EU was estimated at 43.1 per cent, in line with the previous Euro elections  five years ago.

In Belgium, the separatist New Flemish Alliance was tipped to receive nearly a third of votes cast in the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders. In Austria, the far right Freedom Party was forecast to win a fifth of the votes.

GUNADARMA UNIVERSITY

GUNADARMA UNIVERSITY

Indonesia is continually facing the wave of computerization, this happened to be the answer of a question about the needs of computer education for the nation. Hence, in August 7th 1981 a computer education program was launched by the name of Computer Science Education Program. This program provides not only a course deals with computer utilization but also a high education institution that deepen the knowledge of computer science.

The proof showed an improvement, thus, a foundation of Mathematics Research Operation and System Analyst Development was formed to accommodate Computer Science Education Program that later turned out to be Indonesia Computer Science Academy.
The road to perfection hadn’t stopped yet; the academy was raising level to a High School. For the intention, the school must have the same name as the Foundation’s that runs it.

Eventually by the date of August 14th 1984, Kopertis III consolidated the name Gunadarma Computer and Informatics Management High School (STMIK Gunadarma) along with the name of Gunadarma Education Foundation.
The name of “Gunadarma” was chosen the inspirational thoughts of an architect that built one of “Seven World of wonder”, that is Borobudur Temple, by the era of Syailendra dynasty. More over, Gunadarma means also a sincere intention of dedication to the society through a high school.
STMIK Gundarma was located in Jalan Salemba Raya 53, Jakarta. A year after the consolidation, Department of Education and Culture gave a status of “terdaftar” (listed) to STMIK Gunadarma through a decree of Minister of Education and Culture number 0424/0/1985 for Diploma 3 and Strata 1 title, in October 5th 1985.
The world of computer education that infects business world has proven to be interesting for public. The enthusiasm made the campus could not accommodate any longer until finally STMIK Gunadarma opened its new campus in Pondok Cina, Depok. More over, the quality of education was improved to accommodate public demands. This achievement brought STMIK Gunadarma into the status of “disamakan” (equalized) through the decree of Minister of Education and Culture number 0490/0/1989 in August 1989.

The success doesn’t stop here; the foundation produced another high school named Gunadarma Economic High School (STIE Gunadarma) in January 13th 1990 with its main program is Economic Science divided into the majors of Management and Accounting emphasized in computer application.
By the decree of General Director of DIKTI number 92/Kep/Dikti/1996 dated April 3rd 1996, these two high schools were merged into GUNADARMA UNIVERSITY.
This merger was intended to create a huge basis to anticipate the future by producing professional, reliable successors in the basis of information technology for the nation facing the globalization.

KALIMALANG RIVER

Kalimalang river

History rivers in Jakarta

(“That old, river women with river men were never together, only now the only unification”). That’s what my grandmother described when telling stories about Bekasi rivers and Tarum Barat river or commonly known as Kalimalang. Bekasi river water with heavy snaking roads dashing like a snake from the upstream to the south in the mountains in Bogor up to its mouth in the North Sea Java, identified with the male figure. Moderate time artificial Tarum Barat river (Kalimalang) are so quiet flowing water from the reservoir to the east to the west in Bekasi and Jakarta, depicted with female figures. Originally Kalimalang water with river water Bekasi told “can not dikawinin” (“do not mix”), whereas the two streams met in the Bekasi area, precisely at Jalan Hasibuan sluice. Of course if anyone thinks with logic, it is impossible if at the confluence of two streams, the water of the two streams are not fused. But we can think the upside of the doubt if you read the news about the “Watershed Bekasi and Kalimalang Will split”, the word around November 2009 are reported both in print and online media at that time.

Two reasons the separation of these two streams, the first to address the flood from Bogor, the worst flooding occurred in 2002 and 2007. And the second reason Kalimalang save water as the water source of raw water for the people of Jakarta and Bekasi. I remember back when the story was not intentionally doing imaging with Google Map, at the time of imaging with a scale of 20 meters above the river at the confluence with Kalimalang Bekasi, the flow of Kalimalang (female river) as it did not want to unite with the Bekasi river flow (times the male ), Bekasi river flow that is wider and since the beginning of this year so swift flowing from Bogor (whereas in the dry season), as succumbing to flow Kalimalang smaller and quieter water flow.

Bekasi River, from the past until now Based on data from archaeological history, Bekasi river has existed in the 5th century BC, precisely at the time of the Kingdom Tarumanegara estimated to be around Bekasi. The data contained in the inscription of the monument that was first discovered in 1878 in a scientific manner Tugu village, Cilincing, Bekasi (since the 1970s Cilincing into the Jakarta area). The contents of the inscription describes excavations Candrabaga River (Bhagasasi = Bhagasi = Bekasi) by Rajadirajaguru and excavation Gomati River by Purnawarman in year 22 of his reign. If we believe the sources of ancient history, we can calculate the age of the Bekasi river where the past and present. The existence of this river has a long story, a silent witness of human civilization over the centuries. This country since the country formerly known as fertile with melipah wealth. Because the soil is fertile, the people cultivate the land by farming, farming, or gardening as a source of life. Water certainly be one source of livelihood for humans, animals and plants, and other benefits as a source of irrigation or irrigation fields. Tugu inscription that tells of the kings of the river digging Tarumanegara imply meaning how leaders pay attention to water as the needs of its people. For rice, the river is a source of irrigation water supply to it. Illustrated how irrigation technology in the future by utilizing the flow of water from the river for human needs, both for daily needs as well as a source for planting. As soon as the authorities concerned will be processing and utilization of water as a gift from the Creator immeasurably, thus serve as a source of water and livelihood.

Take a look at the area of ​​agriculture, where there is a good flow of water from small streams or large, there is no rice fields. Stated another first today, if the first flow of water in the river as a gift now instead become a source of calamity or disaster. River is now the cause of the flooding, the water is polluted by industrial wastes and household, so dangerous to living things. With industrial production budget saving reasons, the flow of the river used as a waste dump, toxic waste and even can damage the river ecosystem sustainability, including animals, plants and humans. Landfills or household waste to be one of the root causes of floods. That’s the way it is now.

TRANS JAKARTA (BUS WAY)

Jakarta’s busway: A story
of missed opportunities 

Andre Sinaga, Jakarta | Opinion

Yet another fire on a Transjakarta bus last Saturday, June 2, only served to highlight the deficiencies that remain in Jakarta’s rapid bus service, commonly known as the “busway”. No one was hurt when the bus caught fire near the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle but it is symbolic of what the busway has become: A story of missed opportunities.

Theoretically, Jakarta’s busway network was an excellent idea in the effort to reduce traffic congestion in the city. The inefficiency, poor quality and unattractiveness of public buses in Jakarta is certainly one cause of the high number of private cars on Jakarta’s roads.

Hence, creating a dedicated lane to rapid, air-conditioned buses was thought to reduce traffic congestion by drawing commuters away from their cars and onto the busway.

In practice however, the busway — launched for the first time on Jan. 15, 2004 — has failed to significantly reduce Jakarta’s traffic congestion. Rather, it has contributed to further congestion by taking up an entire lane on the road.

This would be fine if buses were constantly using the lane but the presence of a Transjakarta bus is so rare that people are often surprised when one speeds past. Furthermore, the complex and intricate roads of Jakarta mean that many busway lanes are awkwardly rechanneled back into the main road, causing further congestion and slowing down the supposedly rapid nature of

the busway.

Detailed analysis of Transjakarta routes also highlights further issues. Corridor 8, the route going north through Pondok Indah and past the Gandaria City mall, is not connected to Corridor 1, the route passing through the central business district Sudirman-Thamrin.

Since the central business district is the destination for a considerable portion of commuters and a great deal of commuters also reside in South Jakarta, it begs the question why Corridors 8 and 1 are not connected.

In addition, the safety of Transjakarta buses is highly questionable. An official in an article by The Jakarta Post on Monday, June 4, 2012, noted that 10 Transjakarta buses had caught fire in less than a year. This is certainly a factor discouraging users from the busway. It also damages the reputation of this city.

The busway could have been a symbol of a modern Jakarta, a city that now has an effective public bus service like other cities in developed countries. Rather, incidents such as the fire that occurred near the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle — one of the most iconic areas of Jakarta — only show how far Jakarta is from being a truly modern city to many people.

Most importantly, however, the lack of coordination between various public bus companies in Jakarta negates any advantage the busway might have. Despite the fact that an entire lane is dedicated for the busway, other public buses still occupy the main road.

This is nonsensical. Slow and cumbersome public buses, which stop to pick up and drop off passengers anywhere and at anytime are a significant factor to traffic congestion. For the busway to have been effective, public buses serving the same routes as Transjakarta buses should have been reassigned to other areas or retired.

This ensures that passengers are filtered into using the busway as well as reducing traffic congestion on the road. As can be seen by the vast presence of public buses clogging up the main road however, this has not occurred.

Hence, the first of several reforms required to create a more effective busway is for Transjakarta to coordinate with other public bus companies. Discussions and firm decision of the Jakarta administration should occur with the aim of reassigning non-Transjakarta buses away from busway routes. This is especially pertinent in areas where passengers without access to the busway are boarding buses that have the same destination as the busway.

Instead, these non-Transjakarta buses should carry their passengers to the nearest busway station. This optimizes the public bus system in Jakarta by making it much more efficient, helping to reduce congestion. One possible scenario is non-Transjakarta buses ferrying passengers from the unconnected Corridor 8 to Corridor 1.

Political barriers are present in the above suggestion. Job losses will admittedly occur as redundant non-Transjakarta buses are retired from service. Compromise and negotiations must therefore occur to achieve an optimum result that minimizes job losses while also increasing efficiency.

Moreover, it is unclear if an authority exists that can reassign routes for public buses in Jakarta. If none exists, one should be made. Public buses serve the public in such a way that is non-exclusive as they occupy public roads and hence a government body that specifically organizes Jakarta’s public bus system is necessary.

The busway must increase its frequency in order to be truly rapid. This will be beneficial to passengers and will serve as a justification for allocating an entire lane to the busway. In order to be rapid, however, busway lanes must be reconsidered in places where the lane is reintroduced into the main road. Often, this causes a bottleneck and congestion and thus the busway route must be redesigned to avoid this.

The safety of Transjakarta buses must also be raised to avoid embarrassing fire incidents. This will increase the attractiveness of the busway, helping to increase passenger numbers, which will in turn increase the rapidity of the busway. It will also improve the tarnished image of Jakarta as a modern city through an effective and highly desirable public bus system.

Several other suggestions on how to improve the busway exist. The idea of a busway is fantastic and could potentially play a major role in reducing traffic congestion in Jakarta for good. Officials and authorities must act now to prevent the busway from continuing its sad tale of missed opportunities.

1.     TOEFL

PENGERTIAN TOEFL

TOEFL adalah singkatan dari Test Of English as a Foreign Language (Test Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing), yang diorganisir oleh sebuah lembaga di Amerika Serikat yang bernama ETS ( Educational Testing Service ). TOEFL ini penting untuk teman-teman yang ingin belajar atau menuntut ilmu untuk bersekolah di luar negeri. TOEFL ini merupakan indikator untuk memastikan teman-teman yang berasal bukan dari negara yang menggunakan bahasa Inggris, agar dapat mengikuti perkuliahan dengan baik di negara yang menggunakan bahasa Inggris. TOEFL ini digunakan untuk memastikan :

Memastikan bahwa mahasiswa tersebut memahami uraian yang diberikan dosen dalam bahasa Inggris (listening skill).

Mahasiswa memahami buku-buku textbook yang diwajibkan (reading skill).

Mahasiswa mampu membuat tulisan ilmiah dengan tatabahasa yang benar (writing & grammar skill).

Untuk dapat diterima di negara-negara Barat, calon mahasiswa harus memiliki standar nilai TOEFL yang sudah ditetapkan oleh masing-masing universitas di negara-negara Barat tersebut. Misalnya TOEFL score minimal untuk negara-negara di Eropa adalah 500 (minimum), TOEFL score untuk di Australia adalah 500 (minimum), sedangkan TOEFL score untuk negara-negara di Amerika adalah disyaratkan 550 (minimum).

PERLUASAN PENGGUNAAN & PERKEMBANGAN TOEFL

Seiring perkembangan zaman, bahkan negara-negara yang bahasa ibunya bukan bahasa Inggris, seperti Jepang, Korea, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, dll mensyaratkan TOEFL Score tertentu bagi calon mahasiswanya, baik yang datang dari dalam negeri, apalagi jika berasal dari luar negeri. Di Indonesia, TOEFL bahkan digunakan juga untuk:

Persyaratan bagi penerimaan karyawan baru di instansi pemerintah, perusahaan pemerintah dan swasta.

Syarat penerimaan mahasiswa baru untuk jenjang S2 dan S3.

Syarat pengajuan beasiswa, baik dari pemerintah maupun swasta.

TOEFL sendiri sudah beberapa kali mengalami penyempurnaan oleh lembaga penyelenggaranya, ETS. Bentuk-bentuk TOEFL Test yang pernah diperkenalkan ke publik yaitu :

1. TOEFL Paper Based Test

Terdiri atas 3 section :

Listening, Structure, and Reading.

Maximum Score : 677.

2. TOEFL Computer Based Test

Terdiri dari 4 Section :

Listening, Structure,Reading, Writing.

Maximum Score : 300.

3. TOEFL Internet Based Test

Terdiri dari 4 section :

Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking.

Maximum score : 120.

Untuk keperluan pra-seleksi ataupun keperluan intern suatu lembaga, maka ETS sebagai lembaga pengembang dan penyelenggara tes TOEFL juga menyelenggarakan TOEFL ITP (Institutional Testing Programme). Jumlah soal dan tingkat kesulitan TOEFL ITP tidak berbeda dengan Paper Based Test TOEFL maupun Computer Based Test TOEFL, karena memang soal-soal yang digunakan pada TOEFL ITP adalah soal tes TOEFL yang telah pernah digunakan sebelumnya. Perbedaan yang perlu diketahui oleh mereka yang merencanakan mengikuti tes TOEFL adalah bahwa skor yang diperoleh dari TOEFL ITP dalam pengunaannya terbatas.

Perguruan tinggi di Amerika, misalnya, hanya akan menerima skor yang diperoleh dari Paper Based Test TOEFL atau Computer Based Test TOEFL. Selain TOEFL ITP, juga ada TOEFL Prediction yang biasanya digunakan untuk memperkirakan skor TOEFL seseorang “sebelum” yang bersangkutan mengikuti tes TOEFL lainnya (Paper Based Test TOEFL, Computer Based Test TOEFL, TOEFL ITP). Jenis tes TOEFL Prediction ini pada umumnya diselenggarakan oleh lembaga atau pusat bahasa atau tempat-tempat kursus yang menyelenggarakan pelatihan TOEFL.

2.     TEFL

DEFINISI TEFL

            Mengajar Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing (TEFL) mengacu pada pengajaran bahasa Inggris kepada siswa yang bahasa pertamanya bukan bahasa Inggris. TEFL biasanya terjadi di negara siswa sendiri, baik dalam sistem sekolah negeri, atau pribadi di sekolah setelah jam-bahasa atau dengan tutor. Guru TEFL mungkin penutur asli atau non-asli bahasa Inggris.

TEKNIK MENGAJAR

•Reading
            TEFL yang menggunakan sastra yang ditujukan untuk anak-anak dan remaja meningkat popularitasnya . Literatur berorientasi pemuda menawarkan bahan sederhana ( " pembaca disederhanakan " diproduksi oleh penerbit besar ) , dan sering memberikan gaya yang lebih percakapan dari sastra untuk orang dewasa . Sastra anak-anak pada khususnya kadang-kadang memberikan isyarat halus untuk pengucapan , melalui berima dan kata lain bermain . Salah satu metode untuk menggunakan buku-buku ini adalah teknik multiple -pass . Instruktur membaca buku , berhenti sering untuk menjelaskan kata-kata dan konsep-konsep tertentu . Pada pass kedua , instruktur membaca buku sepenuhnya melalui tanpa henti.

•Pengajaran Bahasa Komunikatif
Komunikatif pengajaran bahasa ( CLT ) menekankan interaksi baik sebagai sarana dan tujuan akhir dari belajar bahasa . Meskipun sejumlah kritik , terus menjadi populer , terutama di Jepang , Taiwan , dan Eropa .
Berbasis tugas belajar bahasa ( TBLL ) pendekatan CLT telah memperoleh tanah dalam beberapa tahun terakhir . Para pendukung percaya CLT penting untuk mengembangkan dan meningkatkan berbicara , menulis, mendengarkan , dan keterampilan membaca , dan bahwa mencegah siswa hanya mendengarkan secara pasif kepada guru tanpa interaksi . Dogme adalah pendekatan komunikatif yang sama yang mendorong mengajar tanpa buku teks yang diterbitkan , tetapi sebaliknya berfokus pada komunikasi percakapan antara peserta didik dan guru

• Belajar Blended
            Blended learning adalah kombinasi pengajaran dan interaksi secara online face-to - face ( juga dikenal sebagai PANGGILAN atau pembelajaran bahasa dengan bantuan komputer ) , dicapai melalui lingkungan belajar virtual ( VLE ) .

VLEs telah menjadi titik pertumbuhan utama dalam industri ELT selama lima tahun terakhir. Ada dua jenis :
• platform eksternal host bahwa sekolah atau lembaga ekspor konten untuk ( misalnya, proprietary Tools Web Course , atau open source Moodle )
• Content - disediakan , platform pembelajaran kursus yang dikelola ( misalnya Kampus Macmillan English )
Mantan menyediakan struktur pra-desain dan alat-alat , sedangkan yang kedua mendukung program pembangunan oleh bahasa sekolah - guru dapat berbaur program yang ada dengan permainan , kegiatan , mendengarkan latihan , dan unit referensi tata bahasa yang terkandung online. Hal ini mendukung kelas , belajar-sendiri atau praktek terpencil ( misalnya di warnet ).

•kelas online
   Kemajuan teknologi memungkinkan untuk mendapatkan kualifikasi TEFL online. Siswa dapat mendaftarkan diri ke dalam kelas online yang diakreditasi oleh organisasi seperti Accreditat . Perlu dicatat bahwa tidak ada badan akreditasi menyeluruh tunggal untuk TEFL . [ 5 ] Bahan pelajaran dibagi menjadi modul . Mahasiswa mengambil satu atau beberapa tes per modul belajar. Dukungan ditangani oleh tutor , yang dapat dihubungi melalui email. Setelah berhasil menyelesaikan modul terakhir siswa diberikan sertifikat . Muncul dalam bentuk digital atau dapat dikirimkan ke alamat siswa . Mendapatkan sertifikat tersebut dapat bermanfaat dalam banyak cara . Siswa bisa mendapatkan gaji yang lebih besar atau mengajar bahasa Inggris di luar negeri .

KUALIFIKASI UNTUK GURU TEFL

            Persyaratan kualifikasi bervariasi dari satu negara ke negara dan kalangan pengusaha di negara yang sama . Dalam banyak lembaga adalah mungkin untuk mengajar tanpa gelar atau sertifikat mengajar . Beberapa lembaga akan menganggap perlu untuk menjadi pembicara asli dengan MA TESOL . Sebuah gelar sarjana dalam bahasa Inggris dan sastra juga bisa menjadi nilai , karena memang bisa salah gelar spesialis . Lembaga lain mempertimbangkan bukti kemampuan bahasa Inggris , gelar Universitas dan kualifikasi mengajar dasar untuk menjadi lebih dari cukup. Namun, tingkat kualifikasi akademik tidak perlu kualifikasi yang paling penting , karena banyak sekolah akan lebih tertarik pada keterampilan interpersonal Anda . Untuk pelatih yang ingin memasuki bidang akademik , publikasi dapat menjadi sama pentingnya dengan kualifikasi , terutama jika mereka berhubungan dengan penggunaan bahasa Inggris di bidang Anda . Dimana ada permintaan yang tinggi untuk guru dan tidak ada persyaratan hukum , pengusaha dapat menerima calon dinyatakan tidak memenuhi syarat . Setiap negara berbeda , dan penerimaan tergantung pada permintaan untuk guru bahasa Inggris dan pengajaran dan kehidupan sebelumnya pengalaman guru .

            Sebagai aturan umum sekolah akan cenderung memilih kualifikasi yang melibatkan sejumlah besar pengajaran dinilai : sering dikatakan bahwa " Belajar mengajar tanpa kelas praktek adalah seperti belajar mengemudi tanpa pernah menghadapi lalu lintas " kursus pendek dan kursus online . sering kekurangan dinilai praktik mengajar . Pembuat Course telah mengetahui dan telah mulai memperkenalkan program TEFL gabungan yang memiliki unsur pengajaran yang dinilai .

            Beberapa fasilitas pendidikan kini menawarkan dua atau tiga sertifikat yang didefinisikan dengan baik bukan satu sertifikat umum . Sebagai contoh, ILT ( Pengantar Pengajaran Bahasa ) - 40 jam , PLT ( Praktek Pelatihan Bahasa ) - 30 jam , dan Melek - 30 jam .
Sekolah bahasa swasta cenderung membutuhkan setidaknya sertifikat berdasarkan berhasil menyelesaikan kursus yang terdiri dari minimal 100 jam . Program besar seperti EPIK akan menawarkan gaji yang lebih tinggi kepada para guru yang telah menyelesaikan setiap TEFL Course , online atau sebaliknya , asalkan program memenuhi persyaratan minimum 100 jam . Kursus TEFL berbasis internet yang berlaku umum di seluruh dunia , dan terutama di Asia , di mana pasar pekerjaan terbesar ada di China , Korea , Taiwan dan Jepang .

            Persyaratan usia / jenis kelamin mungkin juga ditemui . Di beberapa negara di luar Eropa dan Amerika , misalnya Timur Tengah , sekolah bisa menyewa laki-laki atas perempuan atau sebaliknya . Dan mereka mungkin hanya mempekerjakan guru dalam rentang usia tertentu ; biasanya antara 20 dan 40 tahun . Siapapun di bawah 19 mungkin dapat mengajar TEFL , tetapi biasanya hanya dalam situasi relawan , seperti sebuah kamp pengungsi .
