=Unit 3=

EDIT: The batik is finished!



So this unit is all about batik. Batik is traditionally made by using wax to cover parts you don't want to change color and then dye it. Repeat until you have the desired pattern. Wait it to dry, and repair any errors found. Now you have your own batik. Unfortunately there are many fake batiks out here. China have sold us press batik that was made without using the traditional method. Malaysia also claimed that batik was theirs. The wikipedia have an article for both Indonesian and Malaysian batik. Malaysian batik are more lightly colored and vibrant and appears to have some Chinese infl uence in them. Indonesian batik are generally darker and grittier and (used to be) very popular among nobles. =Types of Indonesian Batiks=

Hokokai Pattern
Hokokai (Which means Loyalty Group) are types of batiks designed by the Japanese people in 1944. This type of batik draws inspiration from Japanese culture.

Kawung Pattern
This type of pattern is called Kawung for it's resemblance to the [|Kawung fruit] that are arranged geometrically. Sometimes it was interpreted as a lotus. Lotus is symbolized as a sign of long life and holiness. The size of the pattern is the base of the pattern's second word. Pictured above is Kawung Picisan. Picis is a term for archaic money worth 10 cents and very small. Kawung Bribil is named after Bribil, which are worth half cent and is bigger than picis. Batik sen is bigger and is named after cent.

Naga
This type of pattern is based around Indonesian portrayal of dragons. In eastern parts of the world, dragons are wingless serpent-like creature who can fly, breathe fire and usually seen as the symbol of wisdom.

New Java Pattern
This kind of pattern was developed by the Javanese (duh) after the World War 2. With the Japanese defeat and withdrawal, the batik Industry is having a hard time. But batik patterns still evolving. The New Javanese pattern can be considered as the evolution of the Hokokai pattern.

=Unit 1= Hello, this is Ain typing. This will be my page for researching future transportation.

So far, i have found two links that may proves useful:

[|Psipunk.com]

[|Future transportation on wikipedia.] Cheap tickets || Lane usually taken by random drivers || Put force fields/gate/whatever With a sensor that detects the bus presence, but does not allow other vehicles. || Self-Observation || converted for public use, can be directed anywhere || High pollution, main cause of traffic jams || Organize the ojeks into an organization (s). Give or modify their bikes so it wouldn't produce as much pollution || Ditto || by traffic jams, fast, cheap tickets. || Usually late, economy class trains are very, very VERY unsafe. || Give more spending to KA so they can buy more, better trains. || News, Self-observation ||
 * Type of Transport || Benefits || Problems || Ways to solve the problems || Reference(s) ||
 * Busway || Mass transport
 * Ojek || Personal transports
 * Trains || Mass transport, does not affected

__Issues of the Current Transportation__ High Pollution Filthy (Some) Not efficient Low supply of fuel Not enough mass transportation Too much private vehicles Sometimes unsafe

__ Suggestion __ Fusion powered cars! If they explode they may release deadly radiation, which is unsafe. Pedal powered vehicles Electric powered vehicles (Like the [|Tesla Roadster]) Magnetic Trains,[|Maglev style] Helicopters for intercity transport Subways! Monorails! Hydrogen Cars ([|Like this one])! Hybrids ([|Prius, anyone?])

Unit 2 Claymation/Stop-Motion Animation media type="file" key="AN VERY EPIC SHORT MOVIE_0001.wmv" width="300" height="300" Proof of concept.

Claymation is a type of animation, where a figurine from clay (Hence the name) is moved bit by bit and photographed. The photograph then played so fast it looks like it's moving. But, since Mr. Andrew says we can use something else than a clay statue, that means we could use practically //Anything//. Like [|this guy] Unfortunately, i don't have any figurines in my house. so i need to improvise. You see, i have a program (or video game, if you like to call it) called garry's mod. It allows you to pose ragdolls from various games, films, and TV shows. It is very, very popular tool to create machinima (A short film filmed in a game) and machinicomic (same, but is in comic form). Since Mr. Andrew asking us to make a stop motion animation, i could possibly make something like this [|one], probably starring the guy in the video (minus the explosive present). Oh, and if by chance you stumbles another Gmod video, please note anybody you see are RAGDOLLS and should not be confused by actual people. Also, most of the blood present is actually PAINT painted with the paint tool. Oh, and by chance you see dismemberment in anyway, and blood spurting out, it just an effect and should not be taken seriously. Think Garry's Mod is a Movie creating tool, and every machinima are, no matter how random/nonsensical they are, are a movie. And also, my video would not feature violence (well, maybe slightly) and especially gore (I ABSOLUTELY detest gore), profanity, sexual themes, or other mature themes.

If this is not possible, then i will use another game, called Minecraft, where you can build pretty much anything you want, like a [|castle], or a [|city], or the [|death star]. Maybe i could make an animation of self-building tower. EDIT: I will make a Garry's Mod Machinima.

My video will about a group of terrorist hijacking a commercial plane like the 9/11 incident. Unfortunately for them, a guy who is traumatized by the 9/11 incident is there, and he just finished his Pencak Silat training, and is more than willing to kick the terrorist butts. This will be a tribute to the 9/11 attack.
