San Fransisco – Setelah Concorde terbang untuk terakhir kali di tahun 2003,
ada beberapa petunjuk bahwa perjalanan udara supersonik dapat kembali
ke industri penerbangan komersial. Kini tampaknya hal itu mungkin segera
terjadi, menurut The Market Mogul, yang melaporkan bahwa perusahaan
pembuat pesawat Boom Supersonic telah menerima 76 pesanan di muka
untuk Boom XB-1.

Pesawat tersebut akan membawa 55 penumpang dan jauh lebih hening dari
pesawat supersonik sebelumnya. Boom Supersonic juga mengaku sedang
berbicara dengan 20 maskapai penerbangan lainnya. Perusahaan berharap
untuk menguji versi Boom XB-1 yang lebih kecil pada akhir 2018 dan
memiliki pesawat berukuran penuh yang beroperasi pada tahun 2025.
Dengan kecepatan lebih dari 1.687 mil perjam, Boom XB-1 dapat melakukan
perjalanan dari London ke New York dalam waktu sekitar tiga jam dan 15
menit.

Namun, masih ada beberapa pertanyaan yang tersisa. Perjalanan udara

supersonik adalah ilegal di Amerika Serikat, yang akan membatasi pesawat
terbang untuk penerbangan internasional.  Selain itu, harga yang mahal
telah lama membuat perjalanan supersonik tidak terjangkau bagi
kebanyakan konsumen, karena tiket cenderung menghabiskan biaya ribuan
dolar. Tidak ada indikasi sejauh ini bahwa Boom XB-1 akan memecahkan
masalah ini.

Pesawat supersonik komersial pertama, Concorde, diluncurkan pada tahun

1969. Ia mampu memotong waktu penerbangan internasional menjadi
setengahnya, namun mendapat kontroversi karena “ledakan sonik” yang
dihasilkannya yang mengganggu orang-orang yang berada di bawah jalur
penerbangannya.

Pada bulan Juli 2000, sebuah Air France Concorde jatuh sesaat setelah lepas
landas dan menewaskan 113 orang. Kecelakaan tersebut menurunkan
permintaan penerbangan supersonik sampai Concorde pensiun pada tahun
2003.

Cegah Banjir, Kali Krukut akan Dilengkapi Tanggul

Jakarta – Dinas Tata Air DKI Jakarta akan membebaskan tanah di sepanjang
Kali Krukut untuk mengantisipasi luapan air yang sering terjadi disana.
Kasudin PU Air Jakarta Selatan, Deddy Budiwidodo menyatakan,
pembebasan tanah sepanjang satu kilometer akan dilakukan mulai
Petogogan hingga Kemang Raya.

“Kali Krukut itu memang masih belum ideal karena ada penyempitan di
segemn petogogan dan Pulo Raya. Penyempitan itu berdampak terjadinya
genangan di atasnya,” sebut Deddy, Senin (6/4/2015)

Setelah pembebasan lahan, kata Deddy, sejumlah tanggul akan dibangun

untuk melindungi pemukiman rendah yang ada di sekitar kali tersebut.
Pembangunan tanggul itu akan dikoordinasikan bersama Kementerian
Pekerjaan Umum.

Deddy menambahkan, guna mempercepat proses pembebasan tanah, Dinas

PU Tata Air mulai menginvestarisasi sejumlah tanah di kawasan Kali Krukut
pada tahun ini. “Kalau Kementerian (prosesnya) terlalu lama, kita akan
mendesak untuk meminta dikeluarkan izin gubernur,” sebut Deddy.

Free-standing sculpture that is molded or carved is a type familiar to almost

everyone. Although certain free-standing gures or groups of gures can
have only a single side intended for viewing, others are completed on all
sides. As with all other forms of art, the ultimate shape of a sculpture
re ects the artist's vision of individuals or experiences represented by the
work. Throughout history, people everywhere have discovered a need for
sculpture as a record of events and feelings. Materials which can be sculpted
do much to contribute to the artist's imagination. Wood, stone, metal, and
various types of plastic and synthetics are all used as sculpting media.

When sculptures are made of stone, wood, ivory, or even ice, the sculptor
carves or chips the substance to reduce it to the necessary shape.
Developing a sculptured image on all sides represents a change from the
older approach when artists left the back portion of the gure un nished
and rough. In fact, sculpture in relief is completely attached to the at
background material and appears to be a part of it. Relief, which is
completed only on one side intended for viewing, was the rst type of
sculpture created by man, when ancient sculptors removed the background
material in a side of a tree or a cave to make their drawing appear more
realistic.

While creating a statue, the artist depends on the appropriate lighting to

develop the gure because the quality of the nal product relies on the
interplay between light and shade. When the work is nished, the sculpture
must be displayed in the same light as it was originally created. If a light
from a source is too weak or too strong. the e ect that the sculptor in·
tended may be lost. For example, in painting, the light and shade give the
image shape and solidity that cannot be altered by an external light in which
it is displayed.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary,

politician and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from
1994 to 1999. He was South Africa's rst black chief executive, and the rst
elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government
focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid which was practicing
institutionalized racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial
reconciliation.

A Xhosa born to the Thembu royal family, Mandela attended Fort Hare
University and the University of Witwatersrand, where he studied law. Living
in Johannesburg, he became involved in anti-colonial politics, joining the ANC
and becoming a founding member of its Youth League. After the Afrikaner
minority government of the National Party established apartheid in 1948, he
rose to prominence in the ANC's 1952 De ance Campaign, was appointed
superintendent of the organisation's Transvaal chapter and presided over
the 1955 Congress of the People.

In uenced by Marxism, he secretly joined the South African Communist

Party (SACP) and sat on its Central Committee. Although initially committed
to non-violent protest, in association with the SACP he co-founded the
militant Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) in 1961, leading a sabotage campaign
against the apartheid government. In 1962, he was arrested, convicted of
conspiracy to overthrow the state, and sentenced to life imprisonment in the
Rivonia Trial.

Mandela served 27 years in prison, initially on Robben Island, and later in

Pollsmoor Prison and Victor Verster Prison. An international campaign
lobbied for his release, which was granted in 1990 amid escalating civil strife.
Mandela joined negotiations with Nationalist President F. W. de Klerk to
abolish apartheid and establish multiracial elections in 1994, in which he led
the ANC to victory and became South Africa's rst black president. He
published his autobiography in 1995.

While continuing the former government's liberal economic policy, his

administration also introduced measures to encourage land reform, combat
poverty, and expand healthcare services. Mandela became an elder
statesman, focusing on charitable work in combating poverty and HIV/AIDS
through the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
