cinderella

Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young girl. Her mother was dead and her father had married a widow with two daughters. Her stepmother didn't like her one little bit. All her kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters. Nothing was too good for them - dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft beds, and every home comfort. But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters’ hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. No rest and no comfort. She had to work hard all day. Only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That’s why everybody called her Cinderella.


Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. The cat said, “Miaow“, which really meant, “Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters has and that is beauty.” It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in old rags, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be.

One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at the palace and the stepsisters were getting ready to go. Cinderella didn't even dare ask if she could go too. She knew very well what the answer would be: “You? You're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters.” They will come home tired and very sleepy. Cinderella sighed, “Oh dear, I'm so unhappy!” and the cat murmured “Miaow.”

Suddenly something amazing happened. As Cinderella was sitting all alone, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared. “Don't be alarmed, Cinderella,” said the fairy. “I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!” “How can I, dressed in rags?” Cinderella replied. “The servants will turn me away!”

The fairy smiled. With a flick of her magic wand Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. “Now for your coach,” said the fairy; "A real lady would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a pumpkin!” “Oh of course,” said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy turned to the cat. “You, bring me seven mice, and, remember they must be alive!”

Cinderella soon returned with the pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he had caught in the cellar. With a flick of the magic wand the pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the mice became six white horses, while the seventh mouse turned into a coachman in a smart uniform and carrying a whip. Cinderella could hardly believe her eyes.

“You shall go to the ball Cinderella. But remember! You must leave at midnight. That is when my spell ends. Your coach will turn back into a pumpkin and the horses will become mice again. You will be dressed in rags and wearing clogs instead of these glass slippers! Do you understand?” Cinderella smiled and said, “Yes, I understand!”

Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball until she heard the first stroke of midnight! She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she slipped from the Prince’s arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke of midnight were to sound... oh... what a disaster that would be! Out she fled and vanished into the night.

The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up the slipper and said to his ministers, “Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits. I will never be content until I find her!” So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of every girl in the land until only Cinderella was left.

“That awful untidy girl simply cannot have been at the ball,” snapped the stepmother. “Tell the Prince he ought to marry one of my two daughters! Can't you see how ugly Cinderella is?”

But, to everyone’s amazement, the shoe fitted perfectly.

Suddenly the fairy appeared and waved her magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement, and the ministers said, “Come with us Cinderella! The Prince is waiting for you.“

So Cinderella married the Prince and lived happily ever. As for the cat, he just said “Miaow!”

Statis Momen - Mekanika Bahan

Statis momen penampang adalah besaran yang menyatakan seberapa besar tingkat statis suatu penampang terhadap suatu sumbu acuan atau titik acuan. Jika dA adalah elemen luas dan r adalah panjang titik berat elemen luas tersebut ke suatu acuan (garis atau titik), maka statis momen penampang dinyatakan dalam: S = ∫ r dA dalam analisis penampang, statis momen terbagi menjadi statis momen terhadap sumbu X: Sx = ∫ y dA dan statis momen terhadap sumbu Y: Sy = ∫ x dA Statis momen berguna untuk menentukan titik berat suatu penampang (atau suatu volume tertentu). Titik berat terhadap sumbu Y adalah Xo = (ΣSy)/A dan titik berat terhadap sumbu X adalah Yo = (ΣSx)/A A adalah luas penampang. Dalam mekanika teknik, statis momen digunakan untuk menghitung tegangan geser pada suatu penampang, τ = VS/(I t) τ = tegangan geser V = gaya lintang S = statis momen I = momen inersia t = tebal profil

Macam-macam Proyeksi Peta

Proyeksi Peta Bentuk Bumi bulat sedangkan peta berbentuk datar. Di sinilah sistem proyeksi diperlukan untuk memindahkan kenampakan di Bumi pada bidang datar. Secara sederhana proyeksi peta dapat diartikan sebagai cara pemindahan garis paralel dan meridian dari globe (bidang lengkung) ke bidang datar. Ini artinya proyeksi merupakan suatu sistem yang memberikan hubungan antara posisi titik-titik di Bumi dan di peta. Coba kamu bayangkan jika Bumi yang berbentuk bola kemudian dibentangkan menjadi bidang datar. Pasti di beberapa posisi terkesan melengkung, inilah yang disebut distorsi atau kesalahan. Padahal di sisi lain peta bisa disebut ideal jika bisa menggambarkan luas, bentuk, arah, dan jarak dengan benar. Keempat persyaratan peta yang ideal sulit untuk dipenuhi. Upaya yang bisa dilakukan dengan mengurangi risiko kesalahan sekecil mungkin dengan memenuhi satu atau lebih persyaratan tersebut. Hal tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan langkahlangkah berikut. 1. Wilayah yang ak...

Metode Pengikatan Ke Muka

Pengikatan ke muka adalah suatu metode pengukuran data dari dua buah titik di lapangan tempat berdiri alat untuk memperoleh suatu titik lain di lapangan tempat berdiri target (rambu ukur/benang, unting–unting) yang akan diketahui koordinatnya dari titik tersebut. Garis antara kedua titik yang diketahui koordinatnya dinamakan garis absis. Sudut dalam yang dibentuk absis terhadap target di titik B dinamakan sudut beta. Sudut beta dan alfa diperoleh dari lapangan. Pada metode ini, pengukuran yang dilakukan hanya pengukuran sudut. Bentuk yang digunakan metode ini adalah bentuk segitiga. Akibat dari sudut yang diukur adalah sudut yang dihadapkan titik yang dicari, maka salah satu sisi segitiga tersebut harus diketahui untuk menentukan bentuk dan besar segitiganya. Cara pengikatan ke muka banyak dilakukan dalam pengukuran titik triangulasi dan konstruksi  maksud dan tujuan dari dilaksanakannya kegiatan praktek pengukuran pengikatan ke muka ini antara lain adalah sebagai berikut ...
