Father : There are many obstacles that occur that need to be faced if we want to infuse character education.

For example, only teaches honesty, but there are no rules or their implementation in the school. Then, not all the citizens of the school involved. Teachers, principals, foundations, and the whole school staff not involved in character education. Parents are not included and parents even teach the other values. The environmental community and the leadership of the society who live contrary to the values of the characters accentuated. For example, taught harmony and fraternity in the school, but the community leaders fought and killed each other.

Me : thank you for  your time father.

Father : your welcome son.

Bohemian Rhapsody song

"Bohemian Rhapsody"

(Lyric)

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.

Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.

Mama, ooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.

Too late, my time has come,
Sent shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

Mama, ooh (anyway the wind blows),
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.
(Galileo) Galileo.
(Galileo) Galileo,
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico.

I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Never, never let you go
Never let me go, oh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.)
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.

(Oh, yeah, oh yeah)

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.

Anyway the wind blows. 

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 studio album A Night at the Opera. The song consists of several sections: a ballad segment ending with a guitar solo, an operatic passage, and a hard rock section. At the time, it was the most expensive single ever made.

Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1970, originally consisting of Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals). Queen's earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works by incorporating further styles, such as arena rock and pop rock, into their music.

When it was released as a single, "Bohemian Rhapsody" became a commercial success, staying at the top of the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks and selling more than a million copies by the end of January 1976. It reached number one again in 1991 for five weeks following Mercury's death, eventually becoming the UK's third best-selling single of all time. It topped the charts in several other markets as well, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and The Netherlands, later becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time. In the United States the song originally peaked at number nine in 1976. It returned to the chart at number two in 1992 following its appearance in the film Wayne's World, which revived its American popularity.

Although critical reaction was initially mixed, "Bohemian Rhapsody" remains one of Queen's most popular songs and is frequently placed on modern lists of the greatest songs of all time. The single was accompanied by a promotional video, which many scholars consider ground-breaking. In 2004, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2012, the song topped the list on an ITV nationwide poll in the UK to find "The Nation's Favourite 70's Number One" over 60 years of music.

Freddie Mercury wrote most of "Bohemian Rhapsody" at his home in Holland Road, Kensington, in West London. The song's producer, Roy Thomas Baker, related how Mercury once played the opening ballad section on the piano for him: "He played the beginning on the piano, then stopped and said, 'And this is where the opera section comes in!' Then we went out to eat dinner." Guitarist Brian May says the band thought that Mercury's blueprint for the song was "intriguing and original, and worthy of work." According to May, much of Queen's material was written in the studio, but this song "was all in Freddie's mind" before they started. Music scholar Sheila Whiteley suggests that "the title draws strongly on contemporary rock ideology, the individualism of the bohemian artists' world, with rhapsody affirming the romantic ideals of art rock." Commenting on bohemianism, Judith Peraino said that "Mercury intended... [this song] to be a 'mock opera', something outside the norm of rock songs, and it does follow a certain operatic logic: choruses of multi-tracked voices alternate with aria-like solos, the emotions are excessive, the plot confusing."

According to Mercury's friend Chris Smith (a keyboard player in Smile) Mercury first started developing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the late 1960s; Mercury used to play parts of songs he was writing at the piano, and one of his pieces, known simply as "The Cowboy Song", contained lyrics that ended up in the completed version produced years later in 1975, specifically, "Mama... just killed a man."

Recording began at Rockfield Studio 1 near Monmouth on 24 August 1975, after a 3-week rehearsal in Herefordshire. During the making of the track, an additional four studios (Roundhouse, SARM (East), Scorpion, and Wessex) were used. According to some band members, Mercury mentally prepared the song beforehand and directed the band throughout. Mercury used a Bechstein "concert grand" piano, which he played in the promotional video and the UK tour. Due to the elaborate nature of the song, it was recorded in various sections, held together by a drum click to keep all layers synchronised.

May, Mercury, and Taylor reportedly sang their vocal parts continually for ten to twelve hours a day. The entire piece took three weeks to record, and in some sections featured 180 separate overdubs. Since the studios of the time only offered 24-track analogue tape, it was necessary for the three to overdub themselves many times and "bounce" these down to successive sub-mixes. In the end, eighth-generation tapes were used. The various sections of tape containing the desired submixes had to be spliced (cut with razor blades and assembled in the correct sequence using adhesive tape). May recalled placing a tape in front of the light and being able to see through it, as they had been recording so intensely.

Producer Baker recalls that May's solo was done on only one track, rather than recording multiple tracks. May stated that he wanted to compose "a little tune that would be a counterpart to the main melody; I didn't just want to play the melody." The guitarist said that his better material stems from this way of working: in which he thought of the tune before playing it: "the fingers tend to be predictable unless being led by the brain."

In 2002, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" was voted "the UK's favourite hit of all time" in a poll conducted by the Guinness World Records British Hit Singles Book, and in 2004 the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Acclaimed for their stadium rock, in 2005 an industry poll ranked Queen's performance at Live Aid in 1985 as the best live act in history. In 2007, they were also voted the greatest British band in history by BBC Radio 2 listeners.

As of 2005, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, Queen albums have spent a total of 1,322 weeks (twenty-six years) on the UK Album Charts, more time than any other musical act. Also in 2005, with the release of their live album with Paul Rodgers, Queen moved into third place on the list of acts with the most aggregate time spent on the British record charts.
In 2006, the Greatest Hits album was the all-time best-selling album in UK Chart history, with sales of 5,407,587 copies, over 604,295 more copies than its nearest competitor, the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Their Greatest Hits II album is the seventh best seller, with sales of 3,746,404 copies.

The band have released a total of eighteen number one albums, eighteen number one singles, and ten number one DVDs worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. Queen have sold over 150 million records, with some estimates in excess of 300 million records worldwide, including 34.5 million albums in the United States alone as of 2004.

Cikapundung Rafting -Bandung City Tour

Cikapundung River stretches along 28 Km has long been a hallmark of the city of Bandung. Tipped in North Bandung, this river can be seen from the waterfall Curug Dago, splitting Tamansari and Cihampelas, until reaching Alun-alun.

Cikapundung, splitting Cihampelas area to Alun-alun. Cikapundung offers several natural attractions. The most famous attraction is rafting or white water rafting. This water sport allows travelers to directly “taste” the swift flow of the river and the clash of natural stones, while enjoying a semi-urban scenery along the riverbanks. Rafting route that can be used only as long as 4,300 m. This route starts from Dago Bengkok and finished in Babakan Siliwangi. Visitors can climb the big rubber boat that can seat up to six passengers, or riverboat ridden individuals.

Water tour was organized by Cikapundung Rehabilitation Program (CRP). They are combined with the aim of preserving the volunteer community Cikapundung River. Interestingly, while the tourists play water, they also must required to take out the garbage that they encountered in the river.

In practice, while wading the river tourists given sacks used to pick up garbage that they all encountered along the route of rafting.

Another option, especially if the water is receding, we can play a ban-banan. It is not much different from the rafting, but only using large tires that can be boarded individuals. Ford a river with tires is a typical game kids Cikapundung banks. Enough to capitalize tires, visitors can feel the twists and turns of the river, go with the flow.

Curug Dago

Another Cikapundung tour can be seen is the waterfall Dago. 10 m high waterfall is impressed 'dormant', but its location is very close to the center of the tourist crowds in Jl. Juanda (Dago). Waterfall which is part of the park Ir. H. Juanda is near Terminal Dago and can be achieved by using a motorcycle or on foot, but the road to the waterfall is very steep, uneven and slippery when wet. Arriving at the top of the waterfall Dago, vehicles must be parked in the space provided and to see from the ground had to walk about 300m. This path is not less steep. The thunder of the water helped fill the atmosphere and sounds of insects on shade trees add to the natural atmosphere. Thundering waterfalls echoed on the walls of the cliff that embrace it.

Dago waterfall also save valuable history. There are two oriental buildings housing a two inscriptions. According to historians, this inscription is a relic of the King of Thailand, Rama 5 (Chulalongkorn) and Rama 7 (Pradjathipok Pharaminthara) in the 17th century.

This tourist place seemed deserted on weekdays, but when asked at a local shop sellers, visitors who come are usually only a schoolboy at the weekend. Seeing that there is no hint or advertisement on Dago waterfall on the way to here, no wonder why many do not know. In addition to the steep streets, such as boarding facilities were dirty with graffiti break irresponsible. The waterfall itself is filled with floating garbage, even the occasional unpleasant aroma wafted on the water.

One thing that is repeatedly emphasized me when is rubbish. He complained that current Cikapundung River basin that stretches a giant landfill in Bandung. Starting from plastic waste, food wrappers, food, livestock manure, and even human waste was directly discharged into the river. Garbage began gathering of downstream Cikapundung, and accumulate closer to the city.

Cikapundung flow passing Jl Asia-Africa, had become midden.

There have been many who do CRP extension to the community so as not to pollute the river, even a team of CRP is not uncommon drop langung to clean up the garbage that looks and plant trees around the river. Through this action is expected to have a public embarrassment for littering in the river.

CRP was not put this place to be a tourist place, so it does not herald the hype through a variety of media. Usually people know information about the activities of CRP from Facebook, banner, or just word of mouth. Factors to be considered include the condition of clean water and discharge water is not erratic. Thus, rafting can not be open at all times.

Cleaning still using simple tools, such as saws, plastic, or sack to take the trash. Bandung City Government is currently focusing Cikapundung River to be a superior natural attractions in the city of Bandung. This major project is run under the leadership of institutions Planning Agency. This discourse can only be done when the river is free of trash and safe to visit the community.
