Biografi W.R. Soepratman

Wage Rudolf Supratman (9 Maret[1] 1903, Jatinegara, Jakarta - 17 Agustus 1938, Surabaya) adalah pengarang lagu kebangsaan Indonesia, "Indonesia Raya". Ayahnya bernama Senen, sersan di Batalyon VIII. Saudara Soepratman berjumlah enam, laki satu, lainnya perempuan. Salah satunya bernama Roekijem. Pada tahun 1914, Soepratman ikut Roekijem ke Makassar. Di sana ia disekolahkan dan dibiayai oleh suami Roekijem yang bernama Willem van Eldik.

Soepratman lalu belajar bahasa Belanda di sekolah malam selama 3 tahun, kemudian melanjutkannya ke Normaalschool di Makassar sampai selesai. Ketika berumur 20 tahun, lalu dijadikan guru di Sekolah Angka 2. Dua tahun selanjutnya ia mendapat ijazah Klein Ambtenaar.

Beberapa waktu lamanya ia bekerja pada sebuah perusahaan dagang. Dari Ujungpandang, ia pindah ke Bandung dan bekerja sebagai wartawan. Pekerjaan itu tetap dilakukannya sewaktu sudah tinggal di Jakarta. Dalam pada itu ia mulai tertarik kepada pergerakan nasional dan banyak bergaul dengan tokoh-tokoh pergerakan. Rasa tidak senang terhadap penjajahan Belanda mulai tumbuh dan akhirnya dituangkan dalam buku Perawan Desa. Buku itu disita dan dilarang beredar oleh pemerintah Belanda.

Soepratman dipindahkan ke kota Singkang. Di situ tidak lama lalu minta berhenti dan pulang ke Makassar lagi. Roekijem, sendiri sangat gemar akan sandiwara dan musik. Banyak karangannya yang dipertunjukkan di mes militer. Selain itu Roekijem juga senang bermain biola, kegemarannya ini yang membuat Soepratman juga senang main musik dan membaca-baca buku musik


W.R. Soepratman tidak beristri serta tidak mempunyai anak angkat.

Sewaktu tinggal di Makassar, Soepratman memperoleh pelajaran musik dari kakak iparnya yaitu Willem van Eldik, sehingga pandai bermain biola dan kemudian bisa menggubah lagu. Ketika tinggal di Jakarta, pada suatu kali ia membaca sebuah karangan dalam majalah Timbul. Penulis karangan itu menantang ahli-ahli musik Indonesia untuk menciptakan lagu kebangsaan.

Soepratman tertantang, lalu mulai menggubah lagu. Pada tahun 1924 lahirlah lagu Indonesia Raya.

Pada bulan Oktober 1928 di Jakarta dilangsungkan Kongres Pemuda II. Kongres itu melahirkan Sumpah Pemuda. Pada malam penutupan kongres, tanggal 28 Oktober 1928, Soepratman memperdengarkan lagu ciptaannya secara instrumental di depan peserta umum (secara intrumental dengan biola atas saran Soegondo berkaitan dengan kodisi dan situasi pada waktu itu, lihat Sugondo Djojopuspito). Pada saat itulah untuk pertama kalinya lagu Indonesia Raya dikumandangkan di depan umum. Semua yang hadir terpukau mendengarnya. Dengan cepat lagu itu terkenal di kalangan pergerakan nasional. Apabila partai-partai politik mengadakan kongres, maka lagu Indonesia Raya selalu dinyanyikan. Lagu itu merupakan perwujudan rasa persatuan dan kehendak untuk merdeka.

Sesudah Indonesia merdeka, lagu Indonesia Raya dijadikan lagu kebangsaan, lambang persatuan bangsa. Tetapi, pencipta lagu itu, Wage Roedolf Soepratman, tidak sempat menikmati hidup dalam suasana kemerdekaan.

Akibat menciptakan lagu Indonesia Raya, ia selalu diburu oleh polisi Hindia Belanda, sampai jatuh sakit di Surabaya. Karena lagu ciptaannya yang terakhir "Matahari Terbit" pada awal Agustus 1938, ia ditangkap ketika menyiarkan lagu tersebut bersama pandu-pandu di NIROM jalan Embong Malang - Surabaya dan ditahan di penjara Kalisosok-Surabaya. Ia meninggal pada tanggal 17 Agustus 1938 karena sakit.

Naskah asli lagu Indonesia Raya

Hari kelahiran Soepratman, 9 Maret, oleh Megawati saat menjadi presiden RI, diresmikan sebagai Hari Musik Nasional. Namun tanggal kelahiran ini sebenarnya masih diperdebatkan, karena ada pendapat yang menyatakan Soepratman dilahirkan pada tanggal 19 Maret 1903 di Dukuh Trembelang, Desa Somongari, Kecamatan Kaligesing, Kabupaten Purworejo, Jawa Tengah. Pendapat ini – selain didukung keluarga Soepratman – dikuatkan keputusan Pengadilan Negeri Purworejo pada 29 Maret 2007.

Simple Plan : I Can Wait Forever

You look so beautiful today
When you're sitting there it's hard for me to look away
So i try to find the words that i could say
I know distance doesn't matter but you feel so far away
And I cant lie
Every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I want to come back home to see your face
And I
Cause I just cant take it



Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait
I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it wont stop bleeding
But I can wait
I can wait forever

You look so beautiful today
It's like every time I turn around I see your face
The thing I miss the most is waking up next to you
When I look into your eyes, I wish that I could stay
And I cant lie
Every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I want to come back home to see your face
And I
Cause I just cant take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait
I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it wont stop bleeding
But I can wait
I can wait forever

I know it feels like forever
I guess that's just the price I gotta pay
But when I come back home to feel your touch
Makes it better
Till that day
Theres nothing else that I can do
And I just cant take it
I just cant take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But i can wait
I can wait forever (I can wait forever)
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it wont stop bleeding
But I can wait, I can wait , I can wait forever...

Mathilda Loise

Mathilda Loise was one of those pretty and charming girl who seemed to have been born through some mistakes of fortune into the wrong family . she let herself get married to a lowly-paid clerk, Frau Loisel, who worked at the department of education in paris. She was unhappy because of poor apartment in which they lived, with its shabby furniture . All day long she would think of the beautiful houses of wealthy people .
Mathilada Loise had to live in a dreadful life more than they did before. She had to work hard . Her husband had extra work at night to pay for the 18.000 francs debt. Mathilda looked old now and dressed untidily .

So the day of party arrived. Mathilda was a great success. She looked pretty and charming. Every man in the party admired him and every woman in the party was jealous of her beauty . she felt very satisfied with her appearance .

The day of the party was getting near, but Mathilda seemed sad, worried and nervous. “what’s the matter with you ?” asked her husband. “I’m annoyed because I haven’t any jewellery to wear with my dress. I will look shabby. I’d rather not go to the party”, complained Mathilda.

Now, the problem was how to return the diamond to Mrs. Forester. The diamond cost 36.000 francs. Frau had to get 18.000 francs his father left for him and borrowed another 18.000 francs. At last they got the money and the first problem was overcome.

One Sunday, as she was walking on the road to get fresh air, she met Mrs. Forester. Mrs. Forester hardly recognized her. Mathilda told her about the lost diamond. Mrs. Foerster, terribly upset, took her friend’s hands in her own. “Oh, my poor Mathilda ! my diamond necklace was imitation! It was worth 500 francs at he most !”

One evening, her husband came back from the office and proudly gave her an invitation to a magnificent ball. She quickly opened and read the invitation. Instead of being delighted, she threw the invitation angrily on the table, and said with an angry look, “What use is this to me ? What do you expect me to wear if I go to a party of this kind ?”

Returning home tiredly, she took off her coat and stood in front of the mirror. Suddenly, she gave a cry. The diamond necklace was no longer there. They looked for it everywhere but the diamond was lost .

Frau was very upset and said, “ look, Mathilda. How much would a nice dress cost ?” she thought for a moment, then replied, “Guess I could get one for 400 francs. All right. I’ll give you 400 francs. But try to get a really nice dress,” frau said.
“go and see Mrs. Forester, your friend and ask her to lend you some jewelry,” said Frau at last. “ what a good idea!” cried Mathilda

Game Play

* Switch now only works as long as the items of the leaver remain intact. Once someone leaves, the inventory of that hero becomes locked. Players can use an -unlock command, but once that is done switch cannot be used on that hero anymore. Once this feature is used enough to be considered stable, switch will be usable by default (-so mode won't be required) with the restrictions described above. The gold that the leaver is carrying is also frozen until the hero is either unlocked or swapped.

* Added a new command, "-controloff"/"-controlon", to disable control help in the game (to prevent stuff like adding summoned units to your current selection: Invoker, Techies, Lanaya, etc)
* Added a new test command to toggle creeps spawn off and on -spawnoff/-spawnon
* Restored -mc, but with more detailed statistics to match up with the recently changed Multicast chance system
* To prevent some abuses with -unstuck, it no longer works if your taking damage during the first few seconds after you enter the command

* Doubled Satyr Trickerster manapool and purge manacost (primarily affects just stolen ability via Devour)
* Fixed the teleport effects sometimes being visually on an angle
* Fixed Nightcrawler status buff text format
* Fixed Tango visual buff being slightly inaccurate (this is just a cosmetic improvement/fix)

* Added a visual effect for allied players to indicate which creep you infesting
* Added a new sound set for Furion (91160)
* Added a new sound set for Clockwerk
* Added a new visual effect for Spirit Lance
* Added new charge icon for Soul Assumption (137459)

Each usage of the item decreases the charge by 1.

Each hero death can only charge up one of these items per death, so more than one hero having this will not increase the charges for both of the items.

Heal: 400 HP over 8 seconds

Scroll of Town Portal
- Reworked mechanics

- The casting time system for scroll teleports are now dynamic.
Whenever a hero teleports to an area, it causes any other teleports to that area to be delayed with extra time based on the number of heroes that teleported or are teleporting there. Each teleport leaves has memory lasts about 20 seconds for that location.

This does not affect teleports to the fountain area (it accounts for rough areas around shop area as well).

Example: First hero teleports to his tower, he takes the usual 3 seconds casting time. Then lets say the 3 other heroes teleport right after. The second one that telports after the original has a 5 second teleport time. Then 6 seconds, 7, etc.

- Teleport location effect no longer lies to the enemies about the landing spot

- Enemies now see the colors of the teleporting heroes

- Increases max range on where you can choose teleport near a building from 350 to 525

- The color of the teleport effect changes if you are in delayed teleport mode. It goes to normal once you have the standard 3 seconds left. So both sides can tell if its a quick or a delayed teleport and time things accoringly.

Restoring green areas in Jakarta

Deden Rukmana , Savannah, GA | Sat, 12/12/2009 1:01 PM | Opinion

Last month, Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo closed down and sealed off a gas station on Jl. Sudirman to symbolically close down 27 gas stations and convert the areas into green strips. The Jakarta Parks and Cemeteries Agency announced that the 27 gas stations would be closed by the end of the year and their closure would add another 10,505 square meters of green areas in Jakarta (The Jakarta Post, Nov. 11, 2009).

The conversion of gas stations into green areas is to meet the target for green areas in Jakarta as stipulated in the 2000-2010 spatial plan to cover 13.94 percent of Jakarta's total 63,744 hectares by 2010.

In 1965, more than 35 percent of Jakarta was green area, but this has been shrinking ever since. Currently, green areas in Jakarta account for only 9.3 percent of the city's area, far less than the target of 30 percent set by the 2007 Spatial Planning Law.

The governor's action is commendable for converting gas stations into green areas because of two main reasons.

First, the decision by the Jakarta administration to close down gas stations and convert them into green areas is a good precedent for implementing spatial plans.

Over the years, the spatial plan seems to have become a legal document that is neither fully enforced nor implemented.

The 27 gas stations are located in areas designated as green areas in the 1965-1985, 1985-2005 and 2000-2010 Jakarta spatial plans.

For many years, the city conceded to the powerful owners of the gas stations and could neither enforce nor implement the spatial plans.

In March 2008, the city proposed the plan of the gas station conversions, but was rejected by the Jakarta City Council. This year, the city resubmitted the proposal and was approved by the newly elected Jakarta City Council.

Second, we must put a stop to the disappearing of green areas in Jakarta. Green areas are an important urban element that can help make cities self-sustainable and more livable.

Annual floods in Jakarta indicate the urgent need for green areas in the capital, because they absorb rainwater and help avert flooding.

New homes, condominiums, malls, hotels and commercial and office buildings have proliferated in Jakarta over the last three decades. These new developments have come at the cost of green areas and have decreased water catchment areas, making the city more prone to floods.

Not only will the conversion of gas stations into green areas add to the green areas, but it will also contribute in preventing annual floods in Jakarta.

The cost of closing down and converting each gas station is around Rp 75 million, and I would argue that the benefit of the conversion of gas stations into green areas will be much more than Rp 75 million over the years. In addition to reducing the risk of floods, the new green areas will beautify and make Jakarta more livable.

I would also suggest that the green areas close to residential areas be designated as recreational parks. These parks will serve to build healthy, strong and vibrant neighborhoods and will benefit the city even more.

The conversion of these gas stations into green areas will also cut back the city's carbon dioxide emission levels. The green areas can act as sponges for such pollutants.

The decision by the Jakarta administration to close down the gas stations and convert them into green areas in order to comply with the Jakarta spatial plan is a good move and should be appreciated.

Not only will this decision become a good precedent for implementing the spatial plans in Jakarta or even in other areas in Indonesia, but will also provide a lot of benefits for the city and its residents.
