With much difficulty, I have collected temperature data, as clinching evidence to prove my point.

 MEAN TEMPERTURE FOR THE YEARS 1951 TO 1980

 The mean temperature has been shown correct to one decimal point in the record whereas figures for 2007 are shown in round figures. So I have rounded off the mean temp. figures too,  for proper comparison.                

 Except in a few cases, there is remarkable similarity in temperature recorded 200 years ago and now ! This exposes the fallacy of global warm-mongers. In big cities like bombay the increase in temp may be due to huge concrete forests constructed and this can in no way be called global.                         

  Statement 2  (Mean temp. in degree Fahreheit)

Statement 3: Latitude and mean temperature

ANALYSIS OF TEMPERATURE DATA

 Figures speak the truth. The temperature data, comparing previous periods with the current period in respect of Indian and foreign cities are available in the statements above. Statement-1 shows temperature of Indian cities (both coastal and inland).

These have been collected from the meteorological department library at Mausam Bhawan, Delhi.

 You will see that in the cities mentioned below, the temperature has remained stable during the last 50 years.

 Bhuj, Bhawnagar, Surat, Punjim, Honavar, Alapuzha, Kakinada, Port Blair, Vishakhapatnam, Kolkata (temperature has actually decreased by 3 degrees), Bhubneswar (decreased by 3 degrees), Ajmer, Pune, Bangalore, Agartala, Alhabad, Kota, Madurai, Koimbature, Kolhapur, Udaipur, Nagpur.

 The increase in temperature by 5 degrees in Mumbai is glaring, especially when we see the temperature in Surat remaining stable. In other words, for Mumbai the reasons my be local and not global. This requires investigation. My guess is that the huge increase in concrete buildings in Mumbai has contributed to the increase in temperature.

 So far, I have been speaking about the maximum temperature. A scrutiny of the minimum temperatures reveals a certain trend of distinct increase.

 Bhuj, Bhavnagar, Mumbai, Ajmer, Pune, Hyderabad, Udaipur and Kanpur show increase in minimum temperature by 3 degree. If you total the minimum temperatures of all the cities,  then and now, there is an increase of 20degrees in respect of 15 inland stations whereas the maximum temperature in respect of the same stations show a decrease of 8 degrees. It should be remembered that the minimum temperature are recorded during winter months (December, January) when the sun is far away in the Southern hemisphere and this cannot be assigned to the heat radiated from the sun.  Mr. Milner has also written about the winter becoming milder over a period of time. In my younger days, I use to find it difficult to take bath in cold water in winter in Delhi. Now, excepting some days of severe cold mostly caused by heavy snowfall in the Himalayas, the water is not so cold.   The obvious inference is that this is actually global defreezing caused by geothermal energy.

 Statement 2 shows temperature variation over a wider period of 200 years. The figures for the previous period have been taken from Milner’s book which was published in 1853. As these figures are in Fahrenheit scale, current figures too are shown in the same scale. The figures in respect of the following stations indicate stability.

 Cairo, Algiers, Cincinnati, New York, Beijing (decrease of 3 degree), Paris Dublin, Copenhagen (decrease of 6 degree), Quebec, Petersburg, Bordeaux, Vienna (decrease of 4 degrees) – 12 out of 20 cities. London, Geneva and Paris show exceptional increase. However, it should be remembered that the increase is over a period of 200 years.

 A word of caution: the current data have been extracted from the website “World Weather Information Service” and so the authenticity has to be verified independently.

 A very reliable and scientific method for evaluation of the temperature of the globe, is latitude wise mean temperatures. Milner’s book shows 29 degree centigrade at equator, gradually and linearly decreasing to zero degree centigrade at the poles. I am unable to get corresponding figures for the current period. However, I could see from the website that figures remain almost constant, even though the figures for the polar region,  now shows as approaching minus 20 degree centigrade. This may be due to better technology being employed by scientific team exploring the polar regions. I have calculated the value of current mean temperatures in respect of a few stations, comparing this value with that shown in Milner’s book. These are given in statement 3.

 MELTING OF POLAR ICE CAP

 The density of water at zero degrees centigrade is 0.9999 grams per cm. The density of ice at zero degree centigrade is 0.9150. In other words, 1 cc of ice weights only 0.91 gm and hence will displace only 0.915cc of water, when the ice is floating in water. When the ice float, almost the whole of body sinks below the surface of water, expect a small portion projecting above the surface. In the North Pole area, there is no land. The crust of the earth forms a huge bowl filled with seawater and a huge mass of ice floating in it just like an ice cube placed in a bowl of water. The volume of ice submerged below the ice may be almost 9 times more than the icecap which we observe above the surface of water. The molecules covering the underwater portion of the icecap absorb heat from the sea water in which it floats and melt into water. This is a continuous process happening round the clock, allover the year, irrespective of summer or winter. As I have explained in my booklet, the necessary energy is supplied by the earth itself. The role of the Sun which shines only for a limited period is too insignificant to have any impact on this process. As the density of water is more than that of ice, the volume of water generated by the melting of ice is less than that of water originally occupied by the ice block in the ratio 9999:9150. Therefore the sea level will actually  come down because of the melting process. In practice, this may not happen because of the continuous deposition of snow in the polar region which will continuously push down the ice cap.

 A lot has been talked about the rising of sea level because of Global warming. This is a misconception. In some places, the sea level goes up and in other places, it recedes. This phenomenon has been extensively discussed in Milner’s geography.

 My contention can be tested by a simple experiment. Place ice cubes in a tumbler and fill it with water until the water overflows. Leave it until all the ice melts. Watch for any overflow of water during this process.

 I quote from Milner-page-513

Excessive summers

In 763 the summer was so hot that the springs dried up.

In 870 the heat was so intense ,that near Worms the reapers dropped dead in the fields.

In 993 and again in 994,it was so hot that the corn and fruits were burnt up.

The year 1000 was so hot and dry ,that, in Germany ,the pools of water disappeared ,and the fish ,being left in the mud ,bred pestilence.

In 1022 the heat was so excessive ,that both men and cattle were struck dead.

In 1130 the earth yawned with drought. Springs and rivers disappeared ,and even the Rhine was dried up in Alsace.

In 1159 not a drop of rain fell in Italy after the month of May.

The year 1171 was extremely hot in Germany.

In 1232 the heat was so great ,especially in Germany, that it is said that eggs were roasted in the sands.

In 1260 ,many of the Hungarian soldiers died of excessive heat at the famous battle fought near Buda.

The consecutive years of 1276 and 1277 were so hot and dry as to occasion a great scarcity of fodder.

The years 1293 and 1294 were extremely hot ;and so were likewise 1303 and 1304,both the Rhine and the Danube having dried up.                    

In 1333 the corn fields and vineyards were burnt up.

The years 1393 and 1394 were excessively hot and dry.

In 1447 the summer was extremely hot.

In the successive years 1473 and 1474 the whole earth seemed on fire. In Hungary , a person might wade across the Danube

The four consecutive years  1538, 1539 ,1540 ,and 1541 were excessively hot ;and the rivers dried up.

In1556 the drought was so great that the springs failed. In England wheat rose from 8 shillings to 53 shillings a quarter.

The years 1615 and 1616 were very dry all over Europe.

In 1646 it was excessively hot.

In1652 the warmth was  very great, the summer being the driest ever known in Scotland. A total eclipse had happened that year, on Monday the 24^th of March,which hence received the appellation of ‘Mirk Monday.’ 

The summer of 1679 was extremely hot.It is related ,that one of the minions tyranny ,who in that calamitous period, harassed the poor Presbyterians in Scotland with captious questions, having asked a shepherd in Fife ,whether the killing of a notorious Sharp, Archbishop of  St.Andrews, which had happened in May,was murder; he replied , that he could not tell, but there had been fine weather ever since.

The year 1700 was excessively warm, and the two following years were of the same description.

In 1718 the weather was extremely hot and dry all over Europe. The air felt so oppressive that all the theatres were shut in Paris. Scarcely any rain fell for the space of nine months and the springs and rivers were dried up. The following year was equally hot. The thermometer at Paris rose to 98 degree Fahrenheit. The grass and corn were quite parched.

In some places the fruit trees blossomed two and three times.

Both the years 1723 and 1724 were dry and hot.

The year 1745 was remarkably warm and dry; but the following year was still hotter insomuch that the grass withered, and the leaves dropped from the trees .Neither rain nor dew fell for several months ; and ,on the continent, prayers were offered up in all the churches to implore the bounty of refreshing showers.

In 1748 the summer was again very warm.

In 1754 it was likewise extremely warm.

The years 1760 and 1761 were both of them remarkably hot, and so was the year 1763.

In 1774 it was excessively hot and dry.

Both the years 1778 and 1779 were warm and very dry.

The year 1788 was also very hot and dry ;and of the same character was 1811 ,famous for its excellent vintage, and distinguished by the appearance of a brilliant comet.

Seperti halnya posisi pria, maka posisi wanita diatas jiga menjadi salah satu posisi favorit banyak pasangan. Terutama bagi mereka yang menginginkan wanita mencapai kepuasan lebih cepat. Karena posisi ini bisa mempercepat penetrasi bagi wanita dan pada posisi ini juga membuat wanita lebih aktif mengarahkan penis pasanganya ke bagian vaginanya yang paling sensitif.

Dengan posisi seks perempuan diatas juga dapat dilakukan berbagai variasi. Salah satunya adalah posisi perempuan yang melakukan putaran. Putaran memang sangat dianjurkan dalah berhubungan seks karena dapat menimbulkan getaran kenikmatan yang berbeda dan lebih bervariasi rasanya.

Untuk melakukan teknik ini memang diperlukan latihan untuk menjaga agar penis tidak terlepas atau tercabut dari liang vagina saat melakukan gerakan ini. Lakukan latihan ini saat sedang berhubungan intim, lakukan hingga bisa dan sempurna.

Untuk melatih posisi ini pertama yang harus dilakukan adalah wanita duduk diatas tubuh pria dengan saling berhadapan muka dan memasukan penis pasanganya ke liang vaginanya dengan perlahan-lahan, pastikan saat penetrasi tersebut anda dan pasangan sudah terlebih dulu melakukan pemanasan agar sudah terjadi “pelicinan” pada liang vagina sehingga memudahkan dapat hubungan intim tersebut. Kemudian setelah penis masuk lakukan gerakan memutar dengan tiga gerakan, kiri kanan atau memutar penuh. Ingatlah untuk saling berpegangan.

Posisi putaran ini seperti tengah bermain ayunan, maka perempuan duduk diatas tubuh lelaki seperti bermain ayunan dan akhirnya posisi perempuan membelakangi pria pasangannya.

Posisi seperti ini sangat mengguntungkan bagi wanita karena ia dapat bereksplorasi dengan gerakannya yang tentu pada posisi ini harus lebih aktif dibandingkan pria, dengan mengkontraksikan otot vagina dan dapat mengatur gerakan agar penis pria bisa mengesek titik G-Spot nya.

Ingat, kehamilan ini hanya sementara. Jangan terlalu boros untuk barang barang yang hanya bisa dipakai sesaat.

2. Tidak usah membatasi diri dengan hanya menggunakan koleksi pakaian hamil. Gunakan pakaian yang anda suka dan nyaman, walaupun itu bukan baju hamil yang penting nyaman untuk anda dan perut anda yang buncit. Hal ini juga untuk menghemat pengeluaran anda.

3. Gunakan model koleksi pakaian hamil yang benar benar anda suka. Jangan memaksakan diri anda untuk menggunakan baju hamil yang modelnya sebenarnya tidak anda sukai hanya karena ingin tampak lebih keibuan. Karena perasaan itu hanya sesaat, mungkin saja setelah anda membelinya anda merasa sangat tidak suka dan tidak terpakai selama kehamilan anda.

4. Tambahkan accesoris dalam penampilan anda. Gunakan selendang yang menarik, anting yang eksotik atau apapun yang dapat membuat anda tampak lebih menarik dan mengalihkan perhatian orang pada perut anda, carialh di jual pakaian hamil.

5. Gunakan bra yang ukurannya tepat dan memberikan dukungan yang baik. Ingatlah selama kehamilan payudara anda akan menggembang dengan pesat, lupakan sign obral dan cari lah bra yang benar benar bisa menyangga payudara anda. Tidak usah membeli terlalu banyak, karena ketika payudara anda semakin membesar anda harus mengganti bra anda lagi, untuk referensi silakan cek di jual pakaian hamil.

6. Lemari pakaian pasangan anda adalah teman terbaik wanita hamil, anda bisa menggunakan kemeja atau t-shirt besar, celana pendek milik suami anda. Bahkan kalau perlu bisa meminjam ikat pinggangnya (walau harus ditambahkan lubang extra).

7. Pilih bahan bahan yang dingin. Metabolisme anda saat hamil lebih tinggi dari pada biasanya, maka tubuh anda akan terasa lebih hangat. Gunakan bahan bahan katun yang tipis, bahan tenunan dan pakaian longgar juga akan membuat anda merasa sejuk. Bila anda menggunakan stoking, gunakan yang setinggi lutut dari pada yang sampai pinggang. Hindari stoking yang memiliki pengikat karet keras dibagian ujungnya. Jika udara dingin lebih baik anda menggunakan pakaian tipis yang berlapis lapis sehingga anda dapat membukanya satu persatu saat diperlukan.

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it. “

This quote by Albert Einstein holds true for a place like Gaya/Bodh Gaya (from now I will denote the word Gaya as a representative of both the places Gaya and Bodh Gaya).
So, “Gaya: on the minus” is all about being one of the the filthiest city in the world. I do wonder, if there wouldn’t have been the temples and statues would anyone even think of going there?
Definitely not!
Thinking again, would there be so much filth if the temples and statues wern’t there?
Why think of something which if changed would change about 3000 years of history!?

Hence, Gaya is filthy, as all holy places in India are filthy. Go to any of them and the sites you see are the same. Dirt, filth, garbage, urine and faecal stench everywhere. Wonder how tourists still visit these places! (I would really like an answer)

The next “minus” in Gaya are the potholes. These potholes might just make those huge ones in Mumbai look like smooth ones. In Gaya, if you are traveling in a vehicle, don’t expect to be sitting normally. You will be jumping on your seat, sliding down the seat, pushing back and forward on the seat; everything, but sitting on the seat. My Mom swears that all the extra food she had during breakfast was all digested in a mere 15 mins ride in a Gaya auto (for the record these autos have the word “Piaggio” written on the back).
When asked when would the problem of road “blocks” be solved? The only answer I get is – “It is much better than it used to be!”

What answer is that?!!!

Anyways, hoping Gaya becomes a beautiful city because if Lord Buddha would have lived to this day he would definitely have killed himself by now!

Next on the list are certain people, namely – beggars (in both Vishnupad and Bodh Gaya) and pandits (in Vishnupad). I experienced this sad site of a foreigner being pestered for money, ice cream or whatever they desire. Being somebody who just hates the idea of begging, I was outraged seeing the sight. Every morsel of energy at those times were spent in keeping myself from doing something bad to those 15 month old to 70 year old ages whose primary bread earning is from these tourists who innocently give hard earned money to these nincompoops who hate doing some worthwhile work.
The pandits are beggars, but of a different, ‘higher’, form. They will demand money because doing that, as they say, will make God happy and He will “bless” you with more money. Don’t get me wrong, I am religious (in my own way) and have a lot of faith in the Supreme Being. But I do not like the idea of “warming” the hands of these men of the highest order of society (Brahmins). Brahmins were supposed to be the most learned men in ancient times. Does learning mean asking for money in the name of God? What kind of learning do they do nowadays?
Giving money as per our wish is called donation or offering. But giving money when somebody asks you to give in their hand, is called begging in my dictionary.

Pandits waiting for some "hand warming" after my parents finish with their puja in Vishnupad Mandir

That is it about Gaya/Bodh Gaya: on the minus. Next would be the better things about this place.

Bagi sebagian kita berbusana mungkin lebih ditujukan kepada memenuhi etika kesopana. Tolok ukur kita adalah sopankah busana yang saya pakai ? Namun hal ini tidak berlaku bagi Putera Sang Fajar. Dimata Bung Karno busana bukan hanya tuntutan sebuah kesopanan tetapi lebih jauh dari itu dalam busana dan cara menggunakannya banyak mengandung nilai seni.

Dalam berbusana Bung Karno sangat teliti, baik warna, model sampai pada bahan yang akan digunakan. Dan dalam kerapian serta keserasian berbusana perhatian Bung Karno bukan hanya pada busana yang ia gunakan, tetapi juga orang-orang disekelilingnya.

Kalau ada wartawan atau kawan berpakaian kurang rapi, misalnya memakai dasi miring, Bung Karno langsung membetulkan. Hal yang sama ia lakukan terhadap duta besar yang cukup akrab dengan Bung Karno. Pria yang senang memakai peci ini kalau berpakaian sangat rapi dan teratur. Ia juga mempunyai tukang jahit langganan. Namanya The, seorang Tionghoa warga negara Indonesia. The ini mempunyai usaha jahit bernama Smart di Jalan Sawah Besar.

Untuk pakaian sehari-hari, Bung Karno juga sangat sederhana. Kalau robek, Bung Karno biasanya meminta untuk dijahit kembali. Setelah itu, ia pakai lagi. Apalagi, kalau pakaian tersebut termasuk favorit Bung Karno. Meski dijahit di sana-sini, pakaian ini tetap dipakai. Demikian pula alas kaki. Bung Karno lebih suka mengenakan sandal lama, bahkan yang hampir rusak.

Kursi rotan yang paling digemari Bung Karno juga kursi rotan yang sudah lama dipakai. Menurut pria yang lahir pada 6 Juni 1901 ini, kursi rotan lama akan mengikuti bentuk tubuh pemakainya. Jadi, lebih enak diduduki. Sudah menjadi rahasia umum bahwa Bung Karno seorang kutu buku. Tak mengherankan, waktu luang yang ada ia gunakan untuk membaca. Bila Bung Karno sedang duduk sendirian di kursi, di atas meja dekat kursi itu harus ada tumpukan koran atau buku bacaan. Pada 1950-an, sewaktu baru pindah ke Yogyakarta, anggota DKP bertugas mengambil koran pagi-pagi sekali supaya tidak terlambat dibaca Bung Karno. Di kemudian hari pengiriman koran-koran cukup baik sehingga anggota DKP cukup memeriksa jumlah koran supaya tidak kurang. Kalau kurang, Bung Karno pasti menanyakan. Juga buletin dari kantor berita. Seperti Antara. Koran yang dibaca Bung Karno, antara lain, Merdeka, Suluh Indonesia, Duta Masyarakat, Pedoman, Indonesia Raya, Sinpo. Pagi-pagi sekali, surat kabar tersebut harus sudah ada di atas meja Bung Karno. Orator ulung ini juga membacaKompas  dan Sinar Harapan. Bila Bung Karno sedang pergi ke kamar kecil dan waktu sebelum ke kamar kecil sedang membaca surat kabar atau buku, bacaan ini dibawa juga ke kamar kecil tersebut. Terkadang, Bung Karno tinggal di Bandung. Biasanya, Bung Karno menginap di Gubernuran Bandung. Suatu pagi, ketika habis sarapan, Bung Karno bercerita dan bertanya. ’’Mengapa istri para polisi selalu cantik-cantik?’’ tanya Bung Karno tiba-tiba. Semua yang mendengarkan tidak ada yang menjawab. Termasuk Mangil. Sejurus kemudian, Bung Karno bercerita. ’’Sebabnya, polisi itu sering keluyuran keluar masuk kampung dan desa. Dia bisa melihat wanita-wanita cantik dan bisa memilih yang paling cantik. Lalu dia lamar,’’ kata Bung Karno. Ia juga bertanya, ’’Mengapa polisi dibenci anjing?’’ Lagi-lagi, tak ada yang bisa menjawab. Bung Karno kemudian bercerita. Yang dibenci anjing sebetulnya bukan polisi Indonesia, tetapi polisi di zaman Belanda. Dulu, di zaman penjajahan, kalau polisi melihat anjing berkeliaran di jalan-jalan, dan anjing ini tidak diberangus mulutnya, polisi ini akan menembak anjing tersebut. Ekor anjing ini kemudian dipotong sebagai bukti. Untuk setiap ekor anjing yang ditangkap, ada uang preminya. Semakin banyak  membawa ekor anjing, semakin besar uang premi yang akan diterima. ’’Maka dari itu, di zaman Belanda, kalau ada anjing melihat polisi, ia akan menggonggong keraskeras. Maksudnya, memberi tahu rekan-rekannya kalau ada bahaya,’’ cerita Bung Karno. Hadirin pun tersenyum.

Salam Revolusi

Godai Yuusuke Kuuga masa kini mempunyai gaya yang khas dan tidak terlupakan yaitu mengacungkan ibu jarinya dan mengucapkan Daijyobu~ (it’s allright/ok).

Ada asal-usulnya mengapa dia mempunyai gaya demikian.Dikisahkan di episode 12 pada saat Kuuga melawan grongi badak bercula bernama Zu Zain Da(leader grongi kelas Zu),ia mempunyai janji bertemu dengan guru SDnya bernama Kanzaki-sensei.

Karena Godai Yuusuke sibuk dengan latihan-latihan menghadapi Zu Zain Da yang sangat kuat oleh tendangan Mighty Kick biasa kuuga,maka Godai memesan Sawatari Sakurako untuk menemui pak Kanzaki di halte bus.

Ketika Sakurako menemui pak Kanzaki,pak Kanzaki mengajak ke bangunan SD tempat Godai dulu bersekolah.Kemudian pak Kanzaki curhat segalanya tentang masa lalu Godai,sambil menangis haru ia bercerita.

Suatu hari di masa itu,Godai diajarkan tentang prinsip kepercayaan diri dan berusaha keras untuk membuat orang lain tersenyum.Pak Kanzaki ketika itu mengajarkan bahwa acungan jempol berasal dari masa Romawi Kuno,dimana acungan jempol diberikan kepada orang yang mampu mencapai hasil memuaskan dan sangat baik.Ia melanjutkan suatu saat Godai akan menjadi orang seperti itu,dan bekerja keras untuk melihat senyum orang lain.

Sambil tersenyum Godai kecil bilang ok pak saya juga ingin menjadi seperti itu,sambil mengacungkan jempolnya :thumbs up:

var addthis_pub=”miro211185″;

I uploaded a couple of videos, more to come soon. They are located on the side of the page. One is funny, but both will make you laugh. Those Bonobos, wow.

I want to take a second to rant a little about some things.

As we become increasingly plugged into this technological world, the question asked is whether or not we are becoming less connected in a real intimate sense. In my Social Psychology class today we were discussing online dating and the stigmas attached to it by society. One girl mentioned that her mother had found apparent love online on eHarmony, they were together for 3 years. Her father apparently tries it too with mixed results. We noted as a class that most of the stigmas have dissapated in only a matter of 6 months to a year. It’s not just for “people who can’t meet regular people” anymore. I made the point that in a physical meeting, we judge based on the person’s physical appearance and ask questions later. But with an extensive number of questions and ways to calculate compatability, there seems to be some worth in the online dating scene for some people.

We’ve also talked about shyness in the class. Apparently shyness is on the rise in today’s American society. It is suggested that there is a connection between shyness and our dependence on technology and less face-face interaction. And maybe they’re right. I know all my wasted time in high school on my computer instead of hanging out with friends certainly has hindered my social abilities at later dates.

It’s becoming easier and easier for me to see and understand how all the inhabitants of this planet are connected. People tend to put the homo sapien on such a pedestal, rising above all other creatures tall and small. Yet the more I research into evolution and the like, I’m beginning to think that we as a species are merely a freak set of genetic mutations over time. There is nothing special about us. We are inhabitants of this earth and we need to start taking better care of this place. I’ve been reading about the Gaya theory and Daisyworld simulation as well, very intriguing stuff. It kinda blows your mind a little. The more I read and research, the more I realize that calling my high school experience “education” would be belittling the word. Usually I end up finding out that everything I had thought was correct in the world isn’t correct at all. What a world this would be if everyone realized how grey the lines really are. Nothing is black and white.

Here’s some songs/bands I’ve been listening to this week:

Regina Spektor – Far (album) – I like her more with every album. She manages to evolve with each song. She is a master of melody.

Cold War Kids – Something Is Not Right With Me (song) – Great band, great song, album, etc. The frenetic pace of this song kinda puts you on edge when you are listening to it. It’s one of their fastest songs that I’ve heard.

Phoenix – Lisztomania (song) – Great album too. Just getting into these guys. I kept hearing this song on the radio and had to get the album.

Miss Li – (entire catalog) – Wow. This is how pop should sound. Urgent, creatively melodic, beautiful voice. Let’s hope she doesn’t sell out too bad once people realize how great she is.

That’s all for now. Next time I think I’ll talk about “The Era of Awkward”. And maybe some racial relations within the National Football League.

GAYA

• Setiap sebab yang dapat menimbulkan  perubahan keadaan diam/gerak sebuah  benda disebut Gaya
• Bisa menimbulkan gerak dan mencegah gerak

PERAN GAYA:

• Gaya merupakan faktor yang penting dalam olahraga
• Perlu diperhitungkan sumber gaya
• Penggunaan secara tepat dan hemat

SUMBER GAYA:

• Sumber utama gaya pada tubuh manusia adalah kekuatan otot/sekelompok otot
• Kekuatan otot ditentukan oleh luas potongan melintang otot
• Atlet harus mengembangkan otot melalui latihan

BESAR GAYA:

• Masa benda yang dikenai gaya dikalikan rata-rata perubahan gerakan persatuan waktu

• Keterangan:

G  = gaya

t    = time = lama waktu gaya bekerja

a   = acceleration = percepatan

g   = gravitasi

V  = velocity = kecepatan

m  = masa benda yang dikenai gaya = berat benda

Contoh:

Bola dilemparkan dengan kecepatan 40 m/dt. Berat bola 0,5 kg. Berapakah gaya yang dipakai apabila kecepatan tersebut dihasilkan dalam tempo 0,1 dt?

Diket : V = 40 m/dt

T = 0,1 dt

Berat bola = 0,5 kg

Jawab :

0,5

m = ———– = 0,05

10

0,05 x 40

G = —————- = 20 kg

0,1

Jika tempo (t) ditambah menjadi 0,05 dt maka:

0,05 x 40

G = ————— = 40 kg

0,05

Sehingga kontraksi otot harus dalam waktu yang pendek untuk menghasil-kan gaya eksplosif

HUKUM NEWTON

• Hukum I: Hukum Kelembaman (law of inertia)
• Hukum II: Hukum Percepatan (law of acceleration)
• Hukum III: Hukum Reaksi (law of reaction)

HUKUM KELEMBAMAN (law of inertia)

“Suatu benda akan tetap dalam keadaan diam atau dalam keadaan gerak kecuali karena pengaruh gaya yang merubah keadaannya”

HUKUM PERCEPATAN (law of acceleration)

“Percepatan suatu benda karena suatu gaya berbanding lurus dengan gaya penyebabnya”

HUKUM REKSI (law of reaction)

“Setiap aksi selalu ada reaksi yang sama dan berlawanan”

MENYUSUN DAN MENGURAIKAN GAYA

Resultante dari dua buah gaya yang bekerja pada satu titik adalah diagonal jajaran genjang dari titik tersebut . Contoh:

Pemain A menabrak pemain B pada sudut 90⁰ dengan arah gerakannya dan menggunakan gaya sebesar 100 kg. Sedang B pada waktu bertumbukan menggunakan gaya sebesar 150 kg. Berapa jauh A dapat menggeser B? Apabila A menumbuk B pada sudut 30⁰ dengan arah gerakannya, berapa jauh A dapat menggeser B?

Diagonal R dan sudut β menunjukkan arah B bergeser dari arah semula

1. R² = A² + B²

= 10.000 + 22.500

= 32.500

R   =   32.500  = 180 kg

Aplikasi Dalam Olahraga:

• Pemain yang lebih ringan badannya dapat menggeser lawan dengan sudut tertentu yang menguntungkan
• Pada start lari sprint, tolakan kaki lebih menguntungkan jika sudut tolakan kaki memberikan gaya yang paling besar dengan memperkecil sudut tolakan

SISTEM PENGUNGKIT

• Gerakan pada tubuh manusia dalam melakukan kegiatan olahraga dilakukan dengan sistem pengungkit
• Tulang-tulang sebagai pengungkit digerakan oleh gaya kontraksi otot
• Pengungkit adalah suatu alat yang digunakan untuk merobah arah gerak terhadap sumbu putaran
• Jenis pengungkit tergantung dari letak sumbu putaran, beban dan gaya

JENIS-JENIS PENGUNGKIT:

• Jenis Pengungkit I:

Sumbu putaran terletak antara beban dan gaya

G                                 S                                  B

Contoh jenis pengungkit I:

Contoh Jenis Pengungkit II:

• Jenis Pengungkit III:

Gaya terletak antara beban dan sumbu putaran

Contoh Jenis Pengungkit III:

KEUNTUNGAN SISTEM PENGUNGKIT

• Tergantung pada perbandingan panjang tangan gaya dan tangan beban
• Makin panjang tangan gaya makin besar moment gaya (memukul bola softball)
• Makin pendek tangan gaya makin kecil moment gaya, tetapi gerakannya makin cepat (berlari)

MOMENT GAYA

• Adalah suatu gaya yang berusaha memutar benda mengelilingi sumbunya
• Tangan moment = Jarak antara gaya dengan sumbu putar
• Besar Moment Gaya = Gaya x Jarak antara gaya dengan sumbu putar
• Moment gaya = beban x tangan moment

SUMBU PUTAR

v  Sumbu putar dalam gerak manusia:

• Sendi pinggul (langkah lari), sendi bahu (memukul)
• Togok pada saat awalan lempar cakram
• Togok saat memukul bola soft ball
• Palang tunggal (giant swing)
• Pusat gaya berat badan saat salto, loncat indah

Dalam berbagai kegiatan olahraga, moment gaya dapat menguntungkan atau harus di eliminasi.

• Bagaiman jika tangan moment diperpendek?
• Bagaimana jika tangan moment diperpanjang?

Jika moment gaya harus dieliminasi:

• Untuk mengatasi moment gaya sampai seminimal mungkin, maka tangan moment harus sependek mungkin.
• Pada lifter: tangan moment harus diperkecil dengan cara menempatkan beban tepat dipusat putaran (kaki tumpu berdiri tepat di atas beban) sehingga moment gaya  dieliminasi
• Gerak lari: saat melangkah ke depan tungkai kaki harus ditekuk semaksimal mungkin

Moment gaya menguntungkan:

• Tangan moment harus diperpanjang
• Pada gerak senam giant swing :

tubuh harus diluruskan tangan moment menjadi lebih panjang

• Pada gerak memukul bola softball:

saat mengayun pemukul, kedua lengan harus lurus

Contoh:

Pelempar cakram mengakhiri putarannya siap untuk melepaskan cakram dengan kecepatan rata-rata 25,23 radial/detik. Besarnya jarak antara pusat cakram sampai dengan pusat putaran (columna vertebralis) adalah 90 centimeter (radius). Berapa kecepatan linier cakram?

V = 25,23 x 90 = 22,71 m/dt

Jika radius diperpanjang menjadi 100 cm, maka:

V = 25,23 x 100 = 25,23 m/dt

• Dengan demikian kecepatan linier berbanding lurus dengan panjang radiusnya, apabila kecepatan putaran (kecepatan sudutnya) tetap
• Oleh karena itu pelempar cakram harus berusaha merentangkan lengan sepanjang mungkin saat cakram dilepaskan.

GAYA SENTRIFUGAL DAN SENTRIPETAL

• Adalah suatu gaya yang dihasilkan oleh gerak berputar
• Gaya sentrifugal adalah gaya yang menyebabkan benda yang sedang berputar, pergi meninggalkan pusat lingkaran (gaya khayalan= fictifius force)
• Gaya sentripetal adalah gaya yang menyebabkan benda yang sedang berputar, pergi menuju pusat lingkaran (gaya njata = real force)

Dalam kegiatan olahraga, gaya-gaya tersebut dapat membantu (mengntungkan, dan ada yang menjadi halangan (merugikan)

Pengaruh gaya sentrifugal pada lari di tikungan:

• Makin pendek jari-jari lintasan, makin besar pengaruhnya, yaitu pelari akan keluar lintasan ke arah lintasan sebelah kanannya
• Atlet harus mencegah gaya sentrifugal, berusaha tetap lari di lintasannya dengan cara mencondongkan badan ke arah pusat lingkaran lintasan

Besarnya gaya sentrifugal:

B x V ²

G = ————-

g x r

G = gaya sentrifugal                                       g = grafitasi

B = berat badan pelari                                     r = radius

V = kecepatan

Contoh:

Pelari berlari di lintasan menikung yang berjari-jari 30 meter dengan kecepatan 10 m/dt. Berat badan pelari adalah 70 kg. Berapakah gaya yang menariknya keluar lintasan di tikungan tersebut?

Jawab:

70 x 10²

G = ———— = 23,3 kg

10 x 30

Jika jari-jari tikungan 15 m, maka:

Jawab:

70 x 10²

G = ———– = 46,7 kg

10     15

• Usaha yang dilakukan pelari supaya tidak terlempar keluar lintasan adalah dengan cara berlari dengan mencondongkan/memiringkan badan ke pusat linkaran lintasan.
• Masalahnya: berapa besar sudut kemiringan badan untuk menetralisir gaya sentrifugal tersebut?

Jawaban:

V²

tg α = ———-

g x r

tg α = sudut condong badan dengan garis vertical atau miringnya lintasan

• Jika radius = 30 m, V = 10 m/dt

10²

tg α = ———– = 0,333     à     α = 18⁰

10 x 30

• Jika radius = 15 m, V = 10 m/dt

10²

tg α = ———- = 0,6673    à     α = 34⁰

10 x 15

• Jika radius = 3 m, V = 6m/dt

6²

tg α = ———– = 1,2     à     α = 50⁰

10 x 3

GAYA GESER

Adalah suiatu gaya yang timbul karena pergeseran antara dua permukaan yang merupakan hambatan terhadap gerak

YANG MEMPENGARUHI BESARNYA HAMBATAN

• Materi kedua benda
• Ketidak teraturan permukaan
• Gaya yang menekan kedua benda
• Luas permukaan kedua benda

BESARNYA GAYA GESER

• Sama dengan sejumlah gaya yang dikenakan terhadap benda, sejajar dengan permukaan geseran untuk memulai gerakan
• Gaya tersebut sesuai dengan gaya yang menekan kedua permukaan
• Gaya yang menekan kedua permukaan itu dapat dipusatkan pada suatu titik atau menyebar pada daerah yang luas

P

C = ——

W

C = Besarnya gaya geser = sifat adhesif antara kedua benda

W = gaya yang menekan kedua permukaan

P = gaya yang diperlukan untuk memulai gerakan

• Makin besar C maka makin kuat sifat adhesifnya
• Makin besar gaya yang diperlukan untuk menggelincir makin besar gaya gesernya
• Arah dari C = sudut tangen yang dibentuk oleh C dan W = sudut condongnya gaya untuk memulai gerakan = sudut geseran = sudut batas

P

————- = tg α

W

Aplikasi Gaya Geser Dalam Olahraga

• Berhubungan dengan masalah tergelincir dan memelihara kesimbangan diatasi dengan cara:
  • merekayasa daerah permukaan yang bergeseran: sol sepatu, bahan gosok pada permukaan kayu
  • latihan: mengubah kecepatan, arah gerak, mencondongkan badan, memperluas permukaan geseran, latihan kekuatan otot-otot.
  • Memanfaatkan gaya geser dalam olahraga semaksimal mungkin:
    • Ski es
    • Ski salju

TUMBUKAN

Kegiatan Olahraga yang berkaitan  dengan tumbukan:

• memukul  bola softball
• memukul bola voli
• memukul bola tenis
• memukul bola golf

ARAH GERAK PUKULAN

• Arah gerak bola setelah dipukul tergantung dari sudut perkenaan
• Sudut perkenaan = sudut pantulan
• Dipengaruhi oleh pukulan spin, jika gaya pemukul lebih besar dari gaya putaran spin maka putaran bola dapat dieliminasi
• Resultante dua gaya tersebut adalah mendekati arah gaya yang lebih besar
• Tahanan udara
• Elastisitas alat yang digunakan

ELASTISITAS

• Semua benda mempunyai elastisitas (koefisien elastisitas)
• Koefisien elastisitas adalah kemampuan untuk memperkecil diri dari bentuk semulacsebagai akibat dari suatu gaya yang mengenainya
• Dipengaruhi oleh: kecepatan gerak benda yang bertumbukan

APLIKASI DALAM OLAHRAGA

• Tendangan: bola tertekan lebih dari sepertiga diameternya
• Pukulan bola tenis
• Drible pada bola basket
• Pukulan bola softball

RUMUS ELASTISITAS

• Rumus untuk dua benda yang bersama-sama bergerak:

V₂ – V₁

e = —————-

U₁ – U₂

e   = koefisien elastisitas

V₁ = kecepatan benda pertama setelah tumbukan

V₂ = kecepatan benda kedua setelah tumbukan

U₁= kecepatan benda pertama sebelum tumbukan

U₂ = kecepatan benda kedua sebelum tumbukan

• Rumus untuk dua benda, salah satunya tidak bergerak:

V

e = ———

U

Koefisien elastisitas dapat ditunjukkan oleh perbandingan antara tinggi pantulan benda setelah dijatuhkan

h_b

e = √———–

h_d

e   = koefisien elastisitas

h_b = tinggi benda memantul

h_d = tinggi benda dijatuhkan

Pantulan Bola Basket:

• Harus memantul setinggi 122,5 cm – 135 cm setelah dijatuhkan dari jarak 180 cm (diukur dari titik tengah/pusat bola)
• Jika diameter bola basket = 25 cm

Soal:

Diameter bola basket = 25 cm, dijatuhkan dari ketinggian 135 cm, berapa koefisien elastisitasnya?

Jawab:

Kecepatan bola setelah tumbukan:

V0²

= ———

2g

V0² = 2.g.St              St = 135 – 25 = 110 cm

= 2 x 10 x 1.10

= 22

V0 = 4,7 m/dt

Kecepatan bola sebelum tumbukan:

V0² = 2.g.St              St = 180 cm

= 2 x 10 x 1.80

= 36

V0 = 6 m/dt

Jadi elastisitas Bola Basket tersebut adalah:

h_b 110

e = √——– = √———– = 0,78

h_d 180

V 4,7

e = —— = —— = 0,78

U          6

Masalah: Dapatkah bola yang lambat dipukul sejauh bola yang cepat?

Jika dianggap pemukul diayunkan dengan kecepatan dengan kecepatan bola, dan bola langsung mengenai pemukul, bola melayang pada ketinggian yang sama, maka kecepatan bola tersebut dapat dihitung dengan rumus:

(m₁ – em₂) U₁ + (1 + e) m₂ . U₂

V₁ = ————————————————

m₁ + m₂

V₁ = kecepatan bola setelah kena pukul

m₁= massa pemukul

m₁= massa bola

e  = koefisien elastisitas

U₁= kecepatan bola sebelum kena pukul

U₂= kecepatan pemukul sebelum kena bola

Contoh soal:

Bola dilempar dengan kecepatan 30 m/dt (U₁₎, kecepatan pemukul 12 m/dt (U₂). Berat pemukul 3,2 kg, berat bola 0,5 kg. Koefisien elastisitas bola 0,5. Berapakah kecepatan bola setelah kena pukul?

Jawab:

(0,32 – 0,5 . 0,05 )30 + (1 + 0,5) 0,05 x 12

V₁= ——————————————————-

0,32 + 0,05

= 26,35 m/dt

Jika bola dilemparkan dengan kecepatan 15 m/dt, maka:

(0,32 – 0,5 . 0,05 )15 + (1 + 0,5) 0,05 x 12

V₁= ——————————————————-

0,32 + 0,05

= 14,39 m/dt

• Jarak tempuh bola berbanding lurus dengan kecepatan bola setelah kena pukul
• Maka cara untuk membuat bola yang pelan dapat dipukul mencapai jarak maksimal  setelah dipukul adalah menambah kecepatan pemukul

Contoh:

Bola dilempar dengan kecepatan 15 m/dt (U₁₎, kecepatan pemukul 20 m/dt (U₂). Berat pemukul 3,2 kg, berat bola 0,5 kg. Koefisien elastisitas bola 0,5. Berapakah kecepatan bola setelah kena pukul?

Jawab:

(0,32 – 0,5 . 0,05 )15 + (1 + 0,5) 0,05 x 20

V₁= —————————————————–

0,32 + 0,05

= 16,01 m/dt

2-4.11.2009

Day 1

We left Gangtok at 7am and took a shared 4wheel to Siliguri, which took us about five hours. From there we took a tuk-tuk to New Jalpaiguri train station, where we took an overnight train to Patna in Bihar state. In New Jalpaiguri we found a cute restaurant and had a lunch.  The train station was very busy with lots of Indians travelling. We met a Belgian couple in their mid forties taking the same train as we did. We still had at least two hours before the train would arrive, so we had a long conversation with them. They were very chatty and Arne didn’t really feel like participating.  It was a very hot day with little humidity. The train was half an hour late, so we left at around four in the afternoon. They stayed in a different carriage, so we didn’t meet them on the train. Getting into the train was very stressful. According to the rules, we supposed to have the  number of the carriage and the seats printed on the ticket. Also the names of the passengers should be written on the paper attached to the outside of the train carriage. If your name doesn’t appear on the list you have to inform a conductor, who will check it and sort it out, otherwise your ticket is not valid even though you have one. What a strange rule. But the list on the carriage was from an old date and so we didn’t know if everything would be ok. The conductors said it should be ok, so we found our carriage S7, which they claimed was not the right one, because they had swooped S1 with S7 even though they still had S1 and S7 written on them. On the way to carriage S1 we asked another conductor about the carriage and they sent us back to S7. We finally came  to our carriage and a guy from the food carriage asked us if we would like to have a dinner. We agreed about our dinner at seven o’clock. Then some Indian passenger with his whole big Indian family came from carriage S1 and claimed, that this is S1 and not the S7 because he was told that by the conductors. He was very rude shouting and sending us to the other carriage. Arne got annoyed and told him to speak like a normal person and not shout. We certainly are not used to this kind of manners in Europe. But Indians are like that, very short temper – hot headed. We were pretty fed up and moved again to the S1 carriage. When we thought it was all over a  food department guy for the S1 came to ask us about the dinner. We told him we already ordered our dinner at the S7 carriage, but the guy from this carriage doesn’t know we moved. He assured us he will tell him and cancel our food at the other carriage , because now we are staying in his carriage. Right after that the food guy from the other carriage appeared bringing us the food, which we agreed he will bring at 7pm and it was only 4pm. We said we don’t want to have it, because we just ate and he supposed to bring it at 7pm. He got very aggressive and pushed us to get the meal. There was no way around when you looked at his completely mad eyes ready to kill us when we won’t take the food. We said we will take the meal when he will heat it for us at seven, because in three hours the food will be cold. We finally paid him and stuck our lunch boxes on the upper berth. One of the food men, I can’t really remember which one, left his wallet with 1000 rupees and his ID from the train department on the seat. I found it and we wanted to give it to him when we came back. There was one more guy serving  a tea and he offered he will give it to him, so we handed the wallet to the guy. In one minute later the two food guys came running to our carriage shouting and asking for the wallet. We said we gave it to the guy with the tea. In the end we found out, that the guy with the tea doesn’t belong to the train food chain and he is just some guy jumping in the train at the one station and jumping off at the other selling his tea to the passengers. He obviously jumped off with the 1000 rupees and we handed the wallet to a thief. Shit!!!! Later on they came with four conductors blaming us for the wallet and investigating our motives. The guy who forced us to buy the food was pretty mad and Arne had the feeling he might even take revenge or steal something when we sleep. The conductor asked us what had happened and we told them the whole story about the tea man. The food people were still kind of chasing us, but the four conductors made it clear for them- stay away from these two foreigners otherwise you will get into big trouble. And they left us and we hadn’t seen them since. The one of the conductors checked our ticket and said we had to go back to the S7 carriage, because this one is S1. I think at this point we were pretty angry steaming like furious dragons ready to fight and shout.  We told them, that we were shifted from one carriage to another since we got in and we are not willing to move anymore. But they were firm and persistent but also apologetic. I had enough and everything what has happened since we got in the train list, carriages, food, stolen wallet, investigation, anger, pushing, aggression  so we just gave up and moved to the other carriage. We asked one of the conductors to come with us and explain it to the hot-headed guy with his big Indian family, because we didn’t want to get involved into a confrontation of any kind. Of course the guy got very furious shouting and screaming at the conductor. At least we didn’t have to do this. We finally got to the S7 carriage and stayed there until the end. We took a sleeper class which is a carriage with at least 36 berths, eight in each little open cabin. We took two upper ones and fell comfortably asleep with no more disturbances. And that was our first Indian train experience. I thought I don’t want to travel by train anymore!!!

Day 2

The next day we arrived to Patna train station which was full of homeless people sleeping everywhere on the floor outside and inside the train station. “ Good morning Ada and Arne, welcome to a brand new day”. Well I rather would be asleep, than at four o’clock at night at this place stinking of shit and people looking at us like we just landed on Earth  from Mars. There were at least fifteen men around us in a split of second offering tuk-tuk shouting and fighting who will make it first. We were still half asleep, so we just wanted to punch them in their face so they could stop shouting and pushing us. But we were lucky enough to find a guy from Sikkim, who  had to go the same way and spoke English and Hindi (Sikkim’s people speak Nepalese). He helped us with the whole journey to Bodhgaya.  We took a shared tuk-tuk to the bus station and found the bus to Gaya. It was a very shabby, old,  blue bus, ready to break down at any time. The amount of mosquitoes on the bus was unbearable, so we stayed out until the bus was ready to leave. I still needed to go to the toilet so I asked where the toilets were. People were pointing the direction at the end of the “bus station”. It wasn’t really a bus station just a square crowded with buses in the middle of fields with lots of people, dirt, tea stalls, a  morning darkness and a dodgy feeling. I followed the direction together with Arne, because I really had to go to the toilet because it was a three hour journey without stopping. We couldn’t imagine any toilets there, but we carried on. We came to the end of this “bus station” and indeed there was a “toilet”. At least five men were squatting down and doing their morning poo in the middle of the field and showing their manhood tools to people who happened to be there.  I stopped breathing being completely shocked what I saw. What the hell is that, how…how.. is that possible? How? How? I was standing there watching and not being able get it. Arne thought it was very funny. My urge to go to the toilet stopped, when I saw what they meant by the toilet. We went back to the bus with my mind shaking from this huge shock. 

Patna is the capital city of Bihar, which is the poorest state in India and that’s what you could see everywhere. We got into the bus and were driving through Bihar we saw people peeing on the streets in front of many people and men squatting down next to the road in the grass field doing their “morning business” and showing their skinny bums, balls and willies to the whole world. I think this coffee is strong for even the strongest minds. Our minds were twisted in whole kinds of directions since we arrived to India, but this was just a brain fuse.

The countryside was quiet with rice fields and very poor villages. The houses were built from clay and straw with dirty people and children running around, goats and pigs  and cows eating straw from big clay bowls. Inside the houses was nothing except clay tables, beds and benches. It looked like we were at the times of Christ in Jerusalem, 2000 years back. Everything was so surreal, so far away from our experiences of the world.  I always dreamt to go back in  time to see, how it was in the old days, but after seeing this I didn’t have to dream anymore. Everything was there in the clearest present. I would never think something like that could still exist in today’s world, but it does. Nothing has changed here, everything remained the same for another two thousands years. Crazy!!! 

  When we arrived to Gaya, things weren’t different just a bit better. Gaya was a very poor town with lots of poverty showing everywhere you looked. Again the same dirt, streets, people and animals. We took another tuk-tuk to Bodhgaya, which dropped us in front of a Tibetan monastery, where the Sikkimese guy was planning to stay for meditation. We didn’t really like it over there, so we looked further. We ended up staying at the Bhutanese  monastery, which was ok except there were lots of mosquitoes coming from the bathroom. After  that we went eating in Mohammad’s restaurant, which was in the Lonely Planet and didn’t look appealing at first. But the food was great and the prices also. From there we went to take a look at the Holy Tree where Buddha attained enlightenment. But before that we passed a long street full of beggars leading towards it. The place was beautiful, filled with Buddhist people meditating, praying and exercising. There were Buddhist from all over the world; Japanese, Vietnamese, Nepalese, Tibetans, Thai and others. We had to pay for the camera, but the entrance was for free. We first strolled around the main temple where we  watched people meditating. Then we saw the tree where the Buddha became  enlightened. The tree was actually cut by  the jealous King  Ashoka’s wife, who couldn’t bare Ashoka’s attachment to the tree. He was so obsessed by the tree, he didn’t pay any attention to his wife anymore. But one  branch of the tree was saved and brought to Sri Lanka, where it was replanted again. After many years Indians brought the branch from the same tree from Sri Lanka to  Bodhgaya and planted this branch on the same place, where the original tree was. So by now the tree has grown into a giant tree spreading its branches in every direction. Many people were praying and  meditating in front of the tree. Then we took a stroll around the main temple and inside of it. The inside wasn’t that interesting. After that we walked around from the other side with a big pond and a statue of the Buddha in the middle of the pond. We met some local guy, who wanted to show us around. We were suspicious at first, but later on we gave up. He also showed us some different ruins very nearby. He even walked back with us to the monastery we stayed. But this kindness came with a price. Of course he was so kind because he wanted to sell us a tour. But anyway it didn’t matter and even he insisted to meet tomorrow. And we said maybe. The rest of the day we spent in the monastery, where I was catching up with writing our blog. Arne was planning our next move.

Day 3

The next day we went again to Mohammad’s restaurant where we spent three hours talking to a monk from England. He had been practicing meditation for twelve years and coming to India every year for several months. He was in his early forties, maybe late thirties.  It was a pleasure meeting him, because he was a very nice guy. We were talking about everything from travelling, meditation and marriage to alcoholism. We really enjoyed this pleasant morning. After that we went back to the monastery to pick up the laptop to upload our blog. The local guy from yesterday was standing in front of the monastery waiting for us to blame us, that he had been waiting for hours because we agreed to meet around ten with him. We obviously didn’t, which we told him so. Good try, a guy who is studying  history at the university and when he finishes his university he would like  to sell motorbikes. Right!!! We took our laptop and headed to the internet cafe. There we found out that we booked the ticket to Varanasi one day earlier than we thought. It meant that we had to leave this evening, which we thought would be tomorrow. We even paid two nights in the monastery. We didn’t have that much time anymore, so we ran back to the monastery to ask if it would be a problem to return our money for this night, because we had to leave. How could it be a problem in a monastery full of kind monks? They even offered us to leave our bags inside of the room,  until we needed to leave. Thank you very much kind monks, we really appreciate it. After that we had to catch up with the sightseeing. First we saw a Japanese temple, which was very basic. Arne really liked it because of the minimalistic design, for me it was nothing special. He made lots of pictures of the temple. After that we went to see a big statue of the Buddha, which was the biggest Buddha statue we have seen so far. He was gigantic with his gigantic body and his gigantic head. There were four statues of reincarnations of Buddha on each side of the main statue. They looked more like guardians of the Buddha, than his own reincarnations. We walked around and we saw that  under the right eye of the statue of Buddha was a big nest of birds. It looked like a big mole, which I found very funny. But it was very impressive, at least for me. From there we walked to the Indian Temple, which we ascended up the stairs. It  was a very simple temple, but the stairs and the atmosphere around them was just beautiful. There was so much tranquility and peace, so much beauty. For a while we sat down on the stairs and watched things happening around. It was well spent time. After that we passed the Tibetan temple, not going inside. We saw so many Tibetan temples and they all look the same, so we didn’t go. As we were on our way to the Vietnamese temple, which was quite far to walk we passed a very poor area with lots of rubbish, straw-clay houses and people looking undernourished. On the same way we passed fields of rice, straw-clay houses, tons of cows and date trees sticking out high. The Vietnamese temple actually appeared to be the Black Hat Tibetan temple and inside there were little 4-14 years old monks. They were  singing and praying and also receiving donations. As we understood they were Tibetan refugees, who made this ceremony for Vietnamese tourist we walked inside with. So it looked like we were the lucky ones to see this little ceremony with hundreds of little monks singing and the Vietnamese giving donations to every single little monk separately. It was a nice ceremony. After that we wanted to see the Vietnamese Temple, but it was closed. We had to make a long way back through the rice fields, tons of  cows, people and transport again. We met Andrew, Lou and David from the Sikkim Trek in front of the Thai Temple. We made an arrangement for dinner together at six and a minute later found ourselves standing next to some mad guy with a cobra in a basket. He was talking to a crowd of audience he had and then he was twisting his hands into fists and putting them in front of the cobra, which sometimes got annoyed and with a very fast movement lashed out and tried to bite this old madman’s hands. He had a very fast reflex too, the cobra didn’t have a  chance against him. He certainly knew what he was doing. After that we ate some Momos  (Nepalese dumplings), for which we had to wait one and a half hour. People who came after us ate before us. It was quite frustrating. Cows, chickens, goats, dogs, people, busses, motorbikes, bikes, cars were passing through this small bus station, which we saw from the restaurant. Everywhere was dust, smell and dirt. The Momos were nice, but too late. From there we went to pick up our bags and headed to the place we agreed to meet Lou, David and Andrew. They weren’t there yet, but they arrived a second later. We all went to eat to the Om restaurant, where we met a British-Dutch couple. We also arranged a tuk- tuk for 8pm, which was the latest you could get. It was quite odd, because we had our train at 3:30am so it meant we had to wait for seven hours at the train station in Gaya. Lou, David and Andrew were leaving for the train one hour later, but they arranged a very overpriced taxi and slept here. It was too much for us now going back to the monastery and stay a couple of hours longer in here. We decided to take this tuk-tuk at eight. He took us to the train station and wanted more money, which we didn’t agree upon and he didn’t get. The train station was a big crowded disaster. Lots of homeless people sleeping outside and inside of it. We found out there was a resting room up the stairs, so we went to take a look. It was more quieter there. We also thought we might take dormitories they offered to rest, but we found out later it wasn’t a good plan. This way we spent seven hours waiting on black metal chairs, lots of people sleeping on the floor and tons of mosquitoes biting everyone.   We had to use a coil to stop this blood- hungry monsters. I spent the whole time reading the Lonely Planet and Arne was reading a book and listening the MP3 player. Later on Arne was engulfed into a lengthy conversation with an Indian man. Among a few other delusions about the west the Indian man was convinced that Western men had 20 minute orgasms and Arne tried to convince him otherwise. But the time passed very quickly and all of the sudden we found ourselves getting into the train.

Na semana passada, fui firme e forte pra academia e, claro,  fiquei morrendo de dores no corpo depois de tanto exercício. Pra completar, ainda estava meio tensa nas costas e no pescoço (novidade…), ou seja, imprestável! Foi aí que resolvi marcar uma massagem pra sábado, e me lembrei na hora de um lugar que sempre passava na frente e ficava com vontade de conhecer: o Gaya Yoga Spa (é aqui em Curitiba!).

Pra falar a verdade, só fiz massagem relaxante uma vez, no aniversário da Sá no ano passado (nós fomos no Spa Givita fazer uma tarde de divas, foi muito bom), mas foi o suficiente para eu perceber que faz muito bem! Como esse lugar onde fomos é meio longe, fazia tempo que queria achar uma boa opção do que alguns chamam de spa urbano day spa, e acho que encontrei!

Marquei meu horário e fui sem saber qual massagem iria escolher – no site do Gaya tem um menu de massagens com várias alternativas, fiquei até meio perdida! O ambiente lá é muito gostoso, super calmo (além dos tratamentos, eles têm aulas de yoga). Logo que cheguei, a recepcionista me encaminhou pra uma salinha muito boa de ficar (deu até pra tirar fotos com o BlackBerry):

Adorei esse lugar (não parece o céu? hahahaha), deu pra preencher meu cadastro com calma e relaxar ao som daqueles barulhinhos da natureza, sabem?

Logo depois a terapeuta me chamou e contei pra ela das minhas tensões nas costas e pescoço! Ela achou melhor dar mais ênfase pra esses lugares, daí… A sala era bem aconchegante, mas nem lembrei de tirar foto porque fiquei um zumbi depois da massagem, hahahaha!

No fim das contas, nem sei qual dos tipos de massagem ela aplicou, só que foi uma das relaxantes! Tenho que confessar que sofri um pouco com as regiões mais críticas (parecia que a dor tinha se esparramado por tudo!), mas no domingo acordei super bem, destravada mesmo! Ainda assim, saí feliz da vida de lá, até porque no restante do corpo o tratamento foi uma delícia!

Meu objetivo agora é voltar antes que fique cheia de nós outra vez! Quero testar outros tipos de massagem… Ah, nessa paguei R$ 65,00, achei digno.

Então, fica a dica pra quem é de Curitiba, experimentem! E para as meninas de outras cidades, vai aí meu incentivo: se mimar de vez em quando faz muito bem, vamos praticar! (:

Im Kaya-Themenpark in Gimhae bekommen die Rekonstruktionen Gestalt. Die Dächer werden gerade gezimmert.
Ich frage mich wieviel Spekulation oder tatsächlich erhaltene Pläne oder Zeichnungen dafür Grundlage sind.

Hier das zweite Gebäude. Mehr folgen noch.
