Tahun Kabisat (Leap Year)

When Is the Next Leap Day?

2016 is a leap year, so the next leap day is
February 29, 2016.

Leap days are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth's revolutions around the Sun.

It takes the Earth approximately 365.242189 days – or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds – to circle once around the Sun. This called a tropical year.

Without an extra – or intercalary – day on February 29 nearly every four years, we would lose almost six hours every year. After only 100 years, our calendar would be off by approximately 24 days in relation to fixed seasonal days days like the vernal equinox or winter solstice.

Caesar Introduced Leap Years

Roman general Julius Caesar implemented the first leap day in his Julian Calendar, which he introduced in 45 BCE (Before Common Era). A leap day was added every four years. At the time, leap day was February 24, and February was the last month of the year.

Too Many Leap Years

However, adding a leap day every four years was too often and eventually, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian Calendar. This calendar, which we still use today, has a more precise formula for calculation of leap years, also known as bissextile years.

Traditions & Folklore

Leap day as a concept has existed for more than 2000 years, and is still associated with age-old customs, folklore and superstition. One of the most well-known traditions is that women propose  to their boyfriends, instead of the other way around.

What's a Leap Second?

Leap Months

The ancient Roman Calendar added an extra month every few years to maintain the correct seasonal changes, similar to the Chinese leap month.

Different Types of Calendars

• The Gregorian Calendar – used in most countries today
• The Julian Calendar
• The Mayan Calendar
• The Chinese Calendar
• The Roman Calendar

Tahun kabisat (bahasa Inggris: Leap year) adalah tahun yang mengalami penambahan satu hari dengan tujuan untuk menyesuaikan penanggalan dengan tahun astronomi.^[1]

Dalam satu tahun tidak secara persis terdiri dari 365 hari, tetapi 365 hari 5 jam 48 menit 45,1814 detik. Jika hal ini tidak dihiraukan, maka setiap 4 tahun akan kekurangan hampir1 hari (tepatnya 23 jam 15 menit 0,7256 detik).

Maka untuk mengkompensasi hal ini, setiap 4 tahun sekali (tahun yang bisa dibagi 4), diberi 1 hari ekstra: 29 Februari. Tetapi karena 5 jam 48 menit 45,1814 detik kurang dari 6jam, maka tahun-tahun yang bisa dibagi 100 (seperti tahun 1900), bukan tahun kabisat, kecuali bisa dibagi dengan 400 (seperti tahun 2000).

Valentine Day, Opo Kuwi?

Valentine Day, Opo Kuwi?

by Totok Eko Suwito

           Every year on February 14, millions of people celebrate Valentine’s Day. People believe that this day is the most romantic and wonderful time to make a declaration of love, dance, sing, kiss and feel love running through their veins. Everyone dreams of spending this day in a special and unforgettable way. They buy flowers, colorful ribbons, balloons and stickers to decorate their offices, streets, houses and restaurants. I’m not the one who hates Valentine’s Day, but I prefer to think rationally and remain reasonable in different situations.

         Have you ever tried to understand why Valentine’s Day is so overrated all over the world? I think that this extraordinary day is a nice opportunity for pop culture, TV shows, magazines and websites to increase their popularity ratings. The efforts of mass media to make this holiday special exert big influence on a human mind and shape public opinion. As a result, many people find this holiday significant and symbolic. I have many single friends who don’t like this day. They often say that social and mass media overrate the importance of Valentine’s Day and it has a negative effect on their moods. It’s hard to believe, but even Valentine’s Day has a dark side.

1. Commercial holiday

           Valentine’s Day has become extremely commercialized. Every year a great number of printing and other companies create millions of valentine cards, toys, stickers and other interesting stuff. This day is a jackpot for many traders from all over the world. It’s a nice opportunity for them to double or even treble the prices and make a big profit of it. If you want to be rich and make this holiday your favorite one, you should learn how to become a florist, confectioner or a trader. Today mass media has become an effective tool of trade promotion. They create agiotage around this day and make people interested in its celebration. This holiday of happiness and love usually costs a pretty penny, because our generation is already sick and tired of banal valentine cards. Every lady is waiting for something special.

2. It can either strengthen or destroy a relationship

        Many studies show that Valentine’s Day can exert either positive or catalytic effect on the loving relationship of different couples. Many couples, who have weak and unstable relationships, usually lack care, intimacy and romance during this day. They see hundreds of happy couples walking along the streets and come to a conclusion that the spark of love and romance has already faded away.

          I’m the one who still believes in a real love. I’m sure that loving hearts can surmount both physical and emotional barriers. St. Valentine’s Day is the perfect moment to find the right words and make an attempt to heal your relationship. Everything is up to you. If you want to prevent crisis in your relationship, you should kiss, embrace, make pleasant surprises and prove your love every day.

3. Painful reminder

         It seems to me that those people who tend to make Valentine’s Day so overrated are a little bit selfish personalities. They think only about their business and search for the most effective ways to increase their incomes or popularity. They don’t realize that their promotional activity and annoying advertisements can plunge somebody into depression and make them feel blue. When I was single I hated this day, it made me feel lonely. That painful reminder filled my mind with stress and sorrow during the whole day. Luckily, I had an opportunity to celebrate this holiday with my family and forget about loneliness and problems in my personal life.

4. Valentine’s Day is everywhere

            Have you ever tried to run away from St. Valentine’s Day? Sometimes I gain an impression that there’s no place in the world where this holiday is not celebrated. I believe it’s overrated and celebrated in almost all countries. You can’t skip and forget about Valentine’s Day, because its symbols are everywhere. Everything is decorated with pink ribbons, red hearts, love poems and paper heart garlands. You have no opportunity to go out, because an army of sweeties have already booked the tables at almost all restaurants and cafes of your city. Even your decision to stay at home and enjoy watching TV won’t save the situation, because all popular shows are talking about St. Valentine’s Day. It’s too much of a good thing, don’t you think?

5. It makes you feel guilty

            Even if you contrive to say goodbye to this icky holiday, you’ll have to overcome the feeling of guilt. If you decide to skip this day, you’ll always remember that your workmates, friends and family members instinctively expect you to congratulate them on Valentine’s Day. If you don’t prepare beautiful and romantic gifts or refuse to spend the night out with your loved one, they may get seriously offended.

           As a result, many people feel obliged to buy and send valentine cards to those they’re communicating and cooperating with. I think that such forced declaration of love is absolutely insincere and pointless. The tradition of exchanging presents has nothing in common with love.

           I hope you’ve already understood why Valentine’s Day is so important. Commercial companies and mass media use psychological techniques to overrate this holiday and earn more money. If you’re a romantic person, you should forget about different marketing and psychological tricks and enjoy this holiday with your significant other. Realistic personalities should do their best to think positively and find ways to spend this day with a smile on their faces. Do you agree that Valentine’s Day is overrated?

World's First Robot-Staffed Hotel to Open in Japan

What if you could check into a hotel, have your luggage carried to your room and order a coffee — all with help from a team of robots?

A new hotel at a theme park in Nagasaki, Japan, hopes to make that dream a reality. The Henn-na Hotel (whose name means "strange hotel") will be partially staffed by androids that work as reception attendants, robot waiters, cleaning staff and a cloakroom attendant, The Telegraph reported.

Developed by Japan's Osaka University and manufactured by the Japanese robotics company Kokoro, many of the "Actroid" robots resemble a young Japanese woman. The bots will be able to speak Japanese, Chinese, Korean and English, make hand gestures, and pull off the somewhat creepy feat of mimicking eye movements, according to The Telegraph.

         The government will start implementing a 12-year compulsory education program next June, according to Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Puan Maharani.

"We are planning to implement the program beginning June 2015," the minister said after a working visit to Bandung, West Java, on Monday, as quoted by Antara news agency.

The implementation of the 12-year compulsory education program is in line with the outline of President Joko Widodo's Cabinet's educational plan.

Through the program, all parents will be obliged to send their children to school and the government has the obligation to cover all the costs and provide all the facilities needed, the minister explained.

"The government wants all children to go to school and to be educated at least up to the higher 

Fund for Education in 2015

SMAN 1 Anggana hopes

the Funds for Education in 2015

can be used optimally and proportionally

The government will allocate Rp 404 trillion (US$34.60 billion) of the 2015 state budget to education, significantly more than the Rp 375.4 trillion allocated for the sector in 2014, 

During a speech when delivering the draft 2015 state budget at the House of Representatives on Friday, Yudhoyono emphasized the importance of education in development as it remained one of the key elements in economic development.

We are grateful that the country is able to uphold the Constitutional Court mandate requiring that 20 percent of the state budget be spent on education. We will continue to maintain it next year,” Yudhoyono told lawmakers.

Therefore, the Education and Culture Ministry will receive Rp 67.2 trillion in funding in 2015. The President further emphasized the need for the state to provide more for less-prosperous students, for example, by providing more scholarships for university students in need.

Yudhoyono also noted the improving the quality of human resources though educational methods.

“The quality of human resources in Indonesia remains a concern. Therefore, there needs to be more effort in educating workers to ensure good quality,” he said.
