Lake Toba
Lake Toba is a lake and supervolcano. The lake is 100 kilometres long, 30 kilometres wide, and up to 505 meters (1,666 ft) deep. Located in the middle of the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra with a surface elevation of about 900 metres (2,953 ft). It is the largest lake in Indonesia and the largest volcanic lake in the world. Lake Toba is the site of a massive supervolcanic eruption estimated at VEI 8 that occurred 69,000 to 77,000 years ago, representing a climate-changing event.
It is the largest known explosive eruption on Earth in the last 25 million years. According to the Toba catastrophe theory, it had global consequences for human populations: it killed most humans living at that time and is believed to have created a population bottleneck in central east Africa and India, which affects the genetic make up of the human world-wide population to the present.  This hypothesis is not widely accepted because evidence is lacking for a decline or extinction of other animals, including species that are sensitive to changes in the environment. It has been accepted that the eruption of Toba led to a volcanic winter with a worldwide decrease in temperature between 3 to 5 °C (5.4 to 9.0 °F), and up to 15 °C (27 °F) in higher latitudes.

The Kuta Beach
Kuta is administratively a district and subdistrict/village in southern Bali, Indonesia. A former fishing village, it was one of the first towns on Bali to see substantial tourist development, and as a beach resort remains one of Indonesia's major tourist destinations. It is known internationally for its long sandy beach, varied accommodation, many restaurants and bars, and many renowned surfers who visit from Australia. It is located near Bali's Ngurah Rai Airport.
Kuta was the site of the October 12, 2002 1st Bali bombing (202 killed) and the October 1, 2005 2nd Bali bombing (26 killed). The Balinese Provincial Government have taken the view that the preservation of the Balinese culture, natural resources and wildlife are of primary importance in the development of the island. To this end they have limited tourist development to the peninsula on the extreme southern aspect of the island; Kuta beach is on the western side of this peninsula and Sanur is on the east. To the north of the peninsula no new tourist development is supposedly permitted. To the south, Kuta Beach extends beyond the airport into Jimbaran. Other nearby towns and villages include Seseh (6.4 nm), Denpasar (4.5 nm), Ujung (1.8 nm), Pesanggaran (2.0 nm), Kedonganan (2.9 nm) and Tuban (1.0 nm).

Mount Merapi
Mount Merapi is an active stratovolcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. It is located approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of the large Yogyakarta city, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the volcano, with villages as high as 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) above sea level. Smoke can be seen emerging from the mountaintop at least 300 days a year, and several eruptions have caused fatalities.
Pyroclastic flow from a large explosion killed 27 people on 22 November in 1994, mostly in the town of Muntilan, west of the volcano.  Another large eruption occurred in 2006, shortly before the Yogyakarta earthquake. In light of the hazards that Merapi poses to populated areas, it has been designated as one of the Decade Volcanoes. On 25 October 2010 the Indonesian government raised the alert for Mount Merapi to its highest level and warned villagers in threatened areas to move to safer ground. People living within a 20 km (12 mi) zone were told to evacuate. Officials said about 500 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded on the mountain over the weekend of 23–24 October, and that the magma had risen to about 1 kilometre (3,300 ft) below the surface due to the seismic activity. On the afternoon of 25 October 2010 Mount Merapi erupted lava from its southern and southeastern slopes. The mountain was still erupting on 30 November 2010 however due to lowered eruptive activity on 3 December 2010 the official alert status was reduced to level 3. The volcano is now 2930 metres high, 38 metres lower than before the 2010 eruptions.

National Monument
The National Monument, or simply Monas is a 132 m (433 ft) tower in the centre of Merdeka Square, Central Jakarta, symbolizing the fight for Indonesia.

A of total of 284 piles were used for the foundation block. A further 360 piles were driven in for the museum foundations, with work being completed in March 1962. The walls of the museum in the base were completed by October.  Construction of the obelisk than commenced and was finished in August 1963. Work in the second stage, from 1966 to 1968 was delayed by shortages of funding and the aftermath of the 30 September Movement coup attempt. In the final phase, from 1969–1976, the dioramas for the historical museum were added.

Instrumen Antikorupsi di Indonesia

Perilaku Korupsi, Kolusi, dan Nepotisme (KKN) merupakan perilaku yang harus dihilangkan untuk menciptakan penyelenggaraan negara yang bersih, kuat, dan berwibawa.  Untuk menciptakan penyelenggaraan negara yang bebas dari kolusi, korupsi, dan nepotisme maka pemerintah telah menetapkan Undang-Undang No. 28 Tahun 1999 tentang Penyeleng garaan Negara yang Bersih dari Kolusi, Korupsi, dan Nepotisme.

Dalam undang-undang (peraturan) tersebut dinyatakan bahwa penyelenggara negara adalah pejabat negara yang menjalankan fungsi eksekutif (kekuasan untuk melaksanakan Undang-Undang), legislatif (kekuasaan untuk membuat dan menetapkan Undang-Undang), dan yudikatif (kekuasaan untuk mengawasi dan mengadili pelanggaran Undang-Undang) serta pejabat lain yang fungsi dan tugas pokoknya adalah berkaitan dengan penyelenggaraan negara sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku. 

Menurut Undang-Undang No. 28 Tahun 1999, yang dimaksud dengan perilaku korupsi, kolusi, dan nepotisme adalah sebagai berikut.

• Korupsi adalah tindak pidana sebagaimana dimaksud dalam ke tentuan peraturan perundang-undangan yang mengatur tindak pidana korupsi. pribadi atau orang lain. Korupsi tidak hanya berupa korupsi uang, tetapi juga dapat berupa korupsi intelektual dan korupsi waktu.
• Kolusi adalah permufakatan atau kerja sama melawan hukum antara penyelenggara negara atau antara penyelenggara negara dan pihak lain yang merugikan orang lain, masyarakat, atau negara.
• Nepotisme adalah setiap perbuatan penyelenggara negara secara melawan hukum yang menguntung kan keluarganya dan atau kroninya di atas ke pentingan masyarakat, bangsa, dan negara.

Perilaku KKN merupakan perilaku yang akan merusak sendi-sendi dalam kehidupan

bermasyarakat, berbangsa, dan bernegara, serta membahayakan eksistensi (keberadaan) negara. Hal ini dimungkinkan karena perilaku KKN akan merusak berbagai macam tatanan,

seperti hukum, politik, ekonomi, sosial, dan budaya bangsa. Berikut ini dapat dilihat bagaimana dampak perilaku KKN terhadap hukum, politik, ekonomi, dan sosial budaya.

1. Hukum

• Sistem hukum tidak lagi berdasarkan pada prinsip-prinsip keadilan hukum.
• Besarnya peluang eksekutif mencampuri badan peradilan.
• Hilangnya kepastian hukum dan rasa keadilan masyarakat.
• Sistem hukum dan peradilan dapat dikendalikan dengan uang.
• Hilangnya perlindungan hukum terhadap rakyat terutama rakyat miskin.
• Peradilan dan kepastian hukum menjadi bertele-tele karena di salahgunakan oleh aparat penegak hukum.

2. Politik

• Terpusatnya kekuasaan pada pejabat negara tertentu (pemerintah pusat).
• Daerah dan pemerintah daerah sangat bergantung pada pemerintah pusat. Hal ini mematikan daya kreasi dan inovasi daerah serta berujung kepada tindak penyuapan pejabat pusat untuk me lancarkan pembangunan daerah.
• Lemahnya sikap mental dan moralitas para penyelenggara negara.
• Terhambatnya kaderisasi dan pengembangan sumber daya manusia Indonesia.
• Terjadinya ketidakstabilan politik karena rakyat tidak percaya terhadap pemerintah.
• Diabaikannya pembangunan nasional karena penyelenggara negara disibukkan dengan membuat kebijakan populis bukan realistis.

• Munculnya para konglomerat yang tidak memiliki basis ekonomi kerakyatan.
• Munculnya spekulan ekonomi yang menjatuhkan

• Terjadinya tindak pencucian uang (money laundring) yang di lakukan pejabat dengan pengusaha yang merugikan negara.

4. Sosial Budaya

• Hilangnya nilai-nilai moral sosial. Hal ini disebabkan masyarakat melihat banyak perilaku KKN para penyelenggara negara. Dengan demikian, rakyat pun melakukan tindakan pasif bahkan cenderung anarki.
• Hilangnya figur pemimpin dan contoh teladan dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara.
• Berkurangnya tindakan menjunjung tinggi hukum, berkurangnya kepedulian dan kesetiakawanan.
• Lunturnya nilai-nilai budaya bangsa.

Undang- Undang No. 28 Tahun 1999 tentang Penyelenggaraan Negara yang Bersih dari Korupsi, Kolusi, dan Nepotisme, kemudian dilengkapi dengan UU No. 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Perubahan Atas Undang-Undang No. 31 Tahun 1999 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi. Undang-Undang No. 20 Tahun 2001 memuat peraturan yang tegas tentang konsekuensi hukum bagi pelaku korupsi, kolusi, dan nepotisme. Sanksi hukum bagi pelaku korupsi, kolusi, dan nepotisme adalah sebagai berikut.

1. Pelaku Tindak Pidana Korupsi

Berikut ini beberapa pasal dari UU No. 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Perubahan Atas Undang-Undang No. 31 Tahun 1999 tentang pemberantas tindak pidana korupsi, yang memberikan sanksi bagi para pelaku korupsi.

a. Pasal 2 Ayat 1

Setiap orang yang secara melawan hukum melakukan perbuatan memperkaya diri sendiri atau orang lain atau suatu korporasi yang dapat merugikan keuangan negara, dipidana penjara seumur hidup atau pidana penjara paling singkat 4 tahun dan paling lama 20 tahun dan denda paling sedikit Rp200.000.000,00 (dua ratus juta rupiah) dan paling banyaknya Rp1.000.000.000,00 (satu miliar rupiah).

Ayat 2

Dalam hal tindak pidana korupsi sebagaimana dimaksud dalam ayat 1 dilakukan dalam keadaan tertentu, pidana mati dapat dijatuhkan.

b. Pasal 3

Setiap orang yang dengan tujuan menguntungkan diri sendiri atau orang lain atau suatu korporasi, menyalahgunakan kewenangan, kesempatan, atau sarana yang ada padanya karena jabatan atau kedudukan yang dapat merugikan keuangan negara atau perekonomian negara, dipidana penjara seumur hidup atau pidana penjara paling singkat 1 (satu) tahun dan paling lama 20 (dua puluh) tahun dan atau denda paling sedikit Rp50.000.000,00 (lima puluh juta rupiah) dan paling banyak Rp1.000.000.000,00 (satu miliar rupiah).

c. Pasal 4

Pengembalian kerugian keuangan negara atau perekonomian negara tidak menghapuskan dipidananya pelaku pidana sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 2 dan Pasal 3.

2. Pelaku Tindak Pidana Kolusi
Dalam Undang-Undang No. 28 Tahun 1999 Pasal 21, ditegaskan bahwa bagi penyelenggara negara dan anggota komisi pemeriksa yang melakukan tindakan kolusi yang merugikan negara pidana penjara paling singkat 2 (dua) tahun dan paling lama 12 (dua belas) tahun dan atau denda paling sedikit Rp200.000.000,00 (dua ratus juta rupiah) dan paling banyak sebesar Rp1.000.000.000,00 (satu miliar rupiah).

3. Pelaku Tindak Pidana Nepotisme

Dalam Undang-Undang No. 28 Tahun 1999 Pasal 22, ditegaskan bahwa bagi penyelenggara negara dan anggota komisi pemeriksa yang melakukan tindakan nepotisme yang merugikan negara dengan pidana penjara paling singkat 2 (dua) tahun dan paling lama 12 (dua belas) tahun dan atau denda paling sedikit Rp200.000.000,00 (dua ratus juta rupiah) dan paling banyak Rp1.000.000.000,00 (satu miliar rupiah).

Peraturan perundangan telah mengatur dengan tegas hukum an dan sanksi yang dapat dikenakan bagi pelaku tindak pidana KKN. Namun, penegakan hukum ini tidak semudah yang kita bayangkan karena membutuhkan partisipasi rakyat, ketegasan penegak hukum, dan kemauan politik para penyelenggara negara. Perilaku korupsi, kolusi, dan nepotisme tidak hanya melanggar hukum, tetapi juga melanggar norma agama, Pancasila, dan UUD 1945. Oleh karena itu, untuk mewujudkan hal tersebut marilah kita mulai dalam kehidupan terkecil di lingkungan kita, seperti dengan menerapkan perilaku jujur dan mandiri. Orang yang jujur akan berperilaku tidak pernah membohongi aturan dan tidak membohongi siapapun karena dia akan berpegang kepada kata hati yang terbaik dan orang yang mampu mandiri tidak akan melakukan tindakan kolusi dan nepotisme.

Tiger
Tigers are recognized by their orange, black , and white stripe pattern. A tiger’s front paws are large and strong to bring down prey. The front paws of a tiger have five toes each. Tigers are famous for their thick, orange-tawny coats, gleaming amber-gold eyes, black to rich brown stripes, and long, whip-like tail. Most cats don’t like to swim, but on a hot day Tigers love to swim. All tigers have a similar marking on their forehead,which resembles the Chinese symbol Wang, meaning King. Tigers do not purr.Unlike the domestic cat the tigers pupils are round.
	The tiger’s foot print is known as the pug mark. There are five toes on a tigers forefeet and four on its hind feet. A tiger’s night vision is six times greater than a humans. A tiger’s canine teeth can grow up to three inches long and would be capable of crunching through the vertebrae of any creature on this earth. Adult tigers have thirty teeth.On average a tigers tail is around four feet long or half the length of its body. The tail gives the tiger extra balance when running and is also used to communicate to other tigers.

The South China tiger has the fewest stripes. The fore limbs of a tiger are more powerful than the hind limbs for grabbing large prey.

What is a Butterfly?
Butterflies are beautiful, flying insects with large scaly wings.like all insects, they have six legs, three body parts, a pair of antennae, and compound eyes. The three body parts are the head, thorax (the chest), and abdomen (the tail end). The four wings and the six legs of the butterfly are connected to the thorax. The thorax contains the muscles that make the legs and wings move. Butterflies ere very good fliers. They have two pairs, of large wings covered with colourful scales. Butterflies and moths are the only
insects that have scaly wings. The wings are connected to the butterfly’s thorax (mid-section). Butterflies can only fly if their body temperature is above 27 degrees Centigrade. Butterflies sun themselves to warm up in cool weather. As butterflies get older, the colour of the wings fades and the wings become ragged. Butterflies ere very good fliers.

The fastest butterflies can fly at about 50 kilometers per hour (kph) or faster. Slow flying butterflies fly about 8 kph.

My Cat
Grely is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat. He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor of only the most expensive brands.
Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because he is jealous of my friends. After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but endearing, habits.

Komodo Dragons
Do you know what is the largest lizard? This lizard is called komodo. It lives in the scrub and woodland of a few Indonesian islands. Komodo dragon is the world’s heaviest lizard, weighing 150 pounds or more. The largest Komodo ever measured was more than 10 feet (3 meters) long and weighed 366 pounds (166 kg) but the average size of komodo in the wild is about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long and 200 pounds (91 kg)
Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs and a muscular tail. They use their keen sense of smell to locate decaying animal remains from several miles away. They also hunt other lizards as well as large mammals and are sometimes cannibalistic. The Komodo dragon’s teeth are almost completely covered by its gums. When it feeds, the gums bleed, creating an ideal culture for virulent bacteria. The bacteria that live in the Komodo dragon’s saliva causes septicemia, or blood poisoning, in its victims. A dragon will bite its prey, then follow it until the animal is too weak to carry on This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss of prey species and habitat loss..

Baboon
Baboons are African and Arabian Old World monkeys belonging to the genus Papio, part of the subfamily Cercopithecinae. The five species are some of the largest nonhominoid members of the primate order; only the mandrill and the drill are larger. Previously, the closely related gelada (genus Theropithecus) and the two species (mandrill and drill) of genus Mandrillus were grouped in the same genus, and these Old World monkeys are still often referred to as baboons in everyday speech.
Baboons are terrestrial (ground dwelling) and are found in open savannah, open woodland and hills across Africa. Their diets are omnivorous, but mostly herbivorous, yet they eat insects and occasionally prey on fish, shellfish, hares, birds, vervet monkeys, and small antelopes. They are foragers and are active at irregular times throughout the day and night. They can raid human dwellings, and in South Africa, they have been known to prey on sheep and goats. Baboons in captivity have been known to live up to 45 years, while in the wild their life expectancy is about 30 years. Baboons are able to acquire orthographic processing skills, which form part of the ability to read.

Rabbit habitats include meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands. Rabbits live in groups, and the best known species, the European rabbit, lives in underground burrows, or rabbit holes. A group of burrows is called a warren. More than half the world's rabbit population resides in North America. They are also native to southwestern Europe, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, some islands of Japan, and in parts of Africa and South America. They are not naturally found in most of Eurasia, where a number of species of hares are present. Rabbits first entered South America relatively recently, as part of the Great American Interchange. Much of the continent has just one species of rabbit, the tapeti, while most of South America's southern cone is without rabbits.

5. Pidato Hari Kartini 

Dear Mr and Mrs ...

Dear Mr. Chairman of the RW ...

Mr Chairman of the RT ...

Adolescents and youth peer territory ...

Ladies and noble presence,

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Prosperous and happy congratulations also goes to our audience and the presence of a religion other than Islam.

On this happy morning, let us reflect and pray together for a moment, hopefully we are up this morning still blessed with happiness by God the Almighty, given the power to give thanks always, the grace and guidance of Almighty God. Gratitude, let us prove to keep running and stay away from the obligation imposed by Allah the Lord is the Most Just.

Furthermore, on this blessed morning, we should also grateful for the opportunity given by God the Almighty God's love, who by his grace we can also jointly held a ceremony commemorating the "Day of Kartini." Kartini's name, is not foreign. Even in this present life had etched an attitude, especially the attitude of the mother, the attitude of the adolescent, who reflects the ideals of the noble mother of Kartini.

As a woman who certainly could not leave his nature as a woman, it now increasingly appears that the fellow seated himself as a warrior nation, has been able to put ourselves Indonesian woman as a fighter who did not want to say number two on the men.

That being assertive women that directly reflect the ideals of Kartini's nobility. That attitude also shows how the Indonesian human rights is addressed. Especially a woman's right to participate in putting yourself to build your nation of Indonesia.

It is not exaggerating if women today are able to talk parallel to the menfolk. Even in our village has a lot of women who rank even higher than some of the brothers. This shows that our nation, especially the women really have realized how important the role and ability of women in upholding the life of the nation, state and society.

We always commemorate Kartini Day every year. But should not at times when we display this warning just reserved for the work and women. But more than that, hopefully every day, every period of the Indonesian women still struggling and still aspire, as a nation that perfumed name.

May God always bless us, especially the women of Indonesia in establishing national and state life. May the glorious women grow, grow strong in keeping the big names of the nation, state, society, and do not forget, may remain victorious in keeping the family name. Amen!

Suffice it used to welcome us all, billahitaufiq walhidayah,

Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

6. Pidato tentang Global Warming 

There is little doubt that the planet is warming. Over the last century, the planets temperature has risen by around 1 degree fahrenheit (0.6 of a degree celsius). The warmest since the mid 1800’s was the 1990s. The hottest years recorded were 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2003.

The United Nations panel on climate change projects that the global temperatures will rise 3-10 degrees fahrenheit by the century’s end - enough to have the polar caps all but melted. If the ice caps melt, a vast majority of our countries borders will be under water. Monuments and great buildings, as well as homes and lives will be under water, including New York City.

So now we know what some of the causes are for global warming, how can we as individuals do our part to help save the planet?

The answer is simpler than you may think. You don’t have to go miles away from home to protest, or spend masses of money. If you try to follow the few simple steps that I shall now give you, you will have started to help us all.

Firstly, plant a tree. This could be easier than it sounds. Join or help out a local wildlife group and ask to plant a tree. Trees, when fully grown, will help keep the planet cooler. On the same point, you could protest against the demolition of the rainforests. This is the same principle, we need the trees to cool our planet and yet they are chopping them down to create roads or homes.

Something as simple as walking instead of taking the car will help reduce pollution. As well as stopping pollution, you are giving yourself exercise, something important for our bodies. So the next time you get into your car, or your motorbike, think - do I have to make this journey by vehicle or can I walk?

When you are at home, and your getting a little cold. Put a jumper on and do not adjust the heating. The extra heat produced by our homes also affects the planet. So try wearing an extra layer in winter.

If possible, buy your fruit and vegetables from local suppliers. And try to avoid imported goods. The more foreign food that we import the more pollution from aeroplanes and boats it will create.

Keeping to the speed limit can also help the environment. The more you speed the more petrol you are going to use, making the pollution higher. Also, SUV’s make about six times their own weight in CO2 each year. A small efficient diesel car covering the same distance not only uses much less fuel; it makes two thirds less.

If possible use solar energy, after all it is free; all you need to buy is the equipment. You can get much of your hot water and heating from the sun and even generate electricity.

Reduce, reuse and recycle. Only buy what you need; don’t stock the cupboards with things you may or may not use. Reuse whatever you can, like containers and paper, and recycle what you cannot reuse. It really is as simple as that.

Finally turning off unused sources of power such as televisions and heaters will help the environment, as well as save you money.

If everybody stuck to these rules, we would be doing a great thing by protecting the earth. So please take into consideration what I have said, and try to do your part. After all, it will be our next generation that will feel the effects.

7. Pidato Pengaruh Internet

Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb

To the teachers who I respect, to my beloved friend, and everyone who attending in this place, thank you very much to give me time so I can stand up here in front all of you to deliver a speech.

Well, today, in this very special moment, let me stand here to deliver a speech about Internet Effect for Our Life.

As we know, nowadays, Internet is very important for us. But, actually, what is the meaning of Internet ? The Internet is combined worldwide network of computers that form a global information network system. The history of Internet started in 1969 when Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DAPRA) decided to conduct research on how to connect a number of computer. Actually, Internet originally used in military and university. But now, general public around the world can enjoy, or access them very easily. The number of Internet users in one country can be the size of the country's technological progress.

People are always hanging out around the world with its luxury world of tech, luxury, and practical, the Internet can be found wherever we are. Or if not, in every corner of the city must have a stall that sells Internet services or commonly called a cafe. Information World without Borders, that's how people call it. With the Internet, access to delivery information in the world can be retrieved easily while turning the hand or eye blink.
