Blue and White Oriental Porcelain: A Guide to Changes and Styles

by priceminer (11/11/09).

“Of a strong build, suitable for export and of good material, with a clear white body often left unglazed on a flat base. The glaze is thick and rather bubbly, and the blue is of a bright violet tone.”

— R.L. Hobson,author and Chinese Ceramics Specialist, British Museum, 1915.

A stoneware water pot with underglaze blue splashes, Tang Dynasty (618-907).

The technique of painting a color under a glaze first developed during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), when celadon enjoyed great popularity. (The Song also delved into some aspects of underglaze porcelain). Although this new decorative style was initially considered vulgar and unworthy of the educated, underglaze painting evolved and matured. The most important period is the Yuan, due to scarcity. Considering the difficulty with firing, some beautiful pieces were produced but few pieces come on to the market.

In simple terms, the unfired porcelain is left to become dry enough to handle, then painted in under glaze cobalt blue (or copper red or iron black). The items are put aside so the paint can dry, and then dipped in or brushed with glaze prior to firing in the kiln. This basic method has been refined over time, as potters sought to remedy the many flaws that spoiled early production. Ironically, those telltale flaws characteristic to one or another period, are of most help in dating Chinese porcelain.

The development of underglaze blue to decorate white porcelain began on a regular basis and with great skill at Jingdezhen in the Yuan period, and was perfected during the Ming Dynasty. Until the Ming, the blue pigment—called cobalt—was imported exclusively from Persia (present day Iran, where the color Mohammedan blue come from) but fortunately a native cobalt was discovered in the early part of the Ming era.

Within this important era, blue and white porcelain underwent several variations in manufacture. The most vital innovation relates to the modulation in the blue pigment, which can range from a grayish, washed-out blue to blue-black to a brilliant blue.

Other variations are the individual glazes, the variety of shapes, the style of decoration, and the calligraphy of the Imperial reign marks.

The dating of early blue and white Chinese porcelain made some headway when Oxford research scientists discovered that the Persian cobalt has no manganese, yet the Chinese cobalt contained a high proportion of manganese oxide. In effect, blue and white wares containing traces of manganese cannot be earlier than Ming. As no blue and white piece can be genuinely attributed to the reign of Hongwu, the first Ming emperor (1368-1398), most pieces are classed as “early 15th century.”

Under the Ming ruler Yongle (1403-24) production of blue and white porcelain flourished, and under his Imperial patronage, a wide range of archaistic floral, fruit and vine motifs and styles ensued, including an occasional Islamic decoration. This period is artistically rich, maintaining the devotion to floral emblems and their significance which had prevailed from early ages in China. In particular, the lotus, chrysanthemum and peony were most popular, used with foliate or geometric borders or rim decoration. Later reproductions of Yongle wares are difficult to distinguish from originals except under expert scrutiny. Reign marks are rarely found on Imperial pieces until the Xuande- era.

Yongle characteristics include good, sturdy shapes and curved bodies, with attractive and restrained decoration. If it is a double-sided piece, the decoration is usually similar on both sides. The color is intense violet blue with numerous small dark flecks, and the glaze is very soft and smooth but with the “orange peel” effect of small brown flecks caused by iron impurities.

The classic period in the development of blue and white Oriental porcelain is considered to be the Xuande reign (1426-35), when the marking of ceramics became established practice and a number of innovations occurred. The variety of shapes expanded to include not only dishes but bowls, wine cups, ewers, flasks, vases, lidded boxes and jars, and utensils for Buddhist ceremonial offerings—all richly decorated in the typical blue-black pigment associated with early Ming wares. The glaze has a thick texture, little light reflection and fewer impurities. With the change to the native cobalt, the blue alters to a more subdued color than at the beginning of the century.

An exciting range of shapes and forms came from the Xuande era, which is characterized by a bluish white glaze (usually more uniform than on past porcelain).

Minute flecks still occur but are less visible, and the flower scroll decoration is more conventional in style than at beginning of century. Representations of Taoist symbol (mythical characters), the Eight Precious Objects, the Three Friends (pine, prunus, bamboo), phoenix and sacred fungus, among other subjects, are prevalent. The dragon is always vigorously painted, spreading his tail and claws very dramatically against a plain white ground.

After Xuande there was a 20-year interregnum as the successive three emperors appear to have had no interest in ceramics—no more than a few pieces bearing a reign mark from the mid-century. It was to be redressed by Chenghua (1465-87), who revitalized blue and white. Technically, Chenghua pieces are superior, although the former decoration was somewhat curbed due to the taste of the Emperor who followed the dictates of his concubine Wan, and eunuchs.

Chenghua decoration lacks vitality, but has a greater sophistication and effeminacy. The designs become more naturalistic as flowers become swirling wreaths with leafy tendrils, and these designs are sometimes painted on the inside of pieces.

There is a new artistic direction as scenes of children or comic figures appear, greatly contrasting with the rest of the decoration; these pieces bear no marks.

Repeated shapes are characteristic of Chenghua pieces, although fragile flared bowls called “palace bowls” are also a characteristic product. Reign marks (nienhao) in two vertical rows are written within a circle or rectangle.

The Hongzhi ruler (1488-1505) continues the wares of previous reigns, with the same classical themes but a less lively depiction. The blue is grayish and varied, with the six characters written under the base in two ways; the characters are small and unevenly spaced, or written larger and in a regular form. Some unmarked bowls decorated with children’s games appear in this period.

The classical period of blue and white Oriental porcelain concludes with the Zhengde ruler (1506-21), when examples range from superb to mediocre. Some later pieces reflect an Islamic innovation, as Arabic or Persian script and quotations from the Koran are used. At the time, Muslim eunuchs and a number of Muslim communities within China held sway at court, and it is thought their influence was reflected in this new decoration. It is seen on small pieces such as writing utensils, candlesticks, vases and screens. Such pieces always have the dynastic mark written in six characters.

A Jiajing period Ming Dynasty square dish.

In the Jiajing reign—from 1522 to 1566—blue and white porcelain was characterized by a brilliant rich blue, and decorations of Taoist symbols such as the Eight Immortals or the shou dominate. In everyday pieces we see children’s games, dragons, phoenixes and floral motifs depicted.

Due to economic conditions, Jingdezhen was forced to reduce its output during the Longqmg reign (1567-72). Lan Pu describes it thus: “The clay is adhesive and rich. The body partly thick, partly thin. The technique of manufacture is excellent …. the glaze is lustrous, thick like a layer of fat.”

Blue and white wares produced in the Wanli reign (1573-1620) are characterized by a fine body, a brilliant glaze and deep violet-blue decoration¬—although such pieces are rare. The shapes become a little different from earlier forms, and a return to archaistic shapes signals a decline in creativity. There are repeating themes of dragons, Eight Precious Objects, etc., but also a more vital depiction of figures in everyday life. Delicate pieces such as stem cups and incense burners attributed to Wanli are seen bearing the marks of Xuande or Chenghua.

The popularity of blue and white Oriental porcelain was supported by the burgeoning export industry, which widely transported its wares. Products were mainly Chinese, but vast orders from foreign countries were generally fashioned for the foreign tastes and designs of countries in Europe, the Near East and Japan.

Chinese reign marks did not become established practice for marking ceramics until the Xuande reign (1426-35). The six characters are precisely written, placed either under the base in two vertical lines or near the outer rim in a single horizontal line. The top two characters are the emperor’s second name (left) and the character for “great” (right).

The middle characters name the dynasty, and the lower two characters are “made in the reign of …” and the emperor’s first name. It is not accurate to date Chinese porcelain using reign marks. While no doubt some deliberately meant to deceive’ usually it was a simple case of tribute—some potters who admired a previous golden age are known to have reused those marks as a form those marks as a form of respect

TEA ·

Chinese ceramic ware shows a continuous development since the pre-dynastic periods, and is one of the most significant forms of Chinese art. China is richly endowed with the raw materials needed for making ceramics. The first types of ceramics were made during the Palaeolithic era. Chinese Ceramics range from construction materials such as bricks and tiles, to hand-built pottery vessels fired in bonfires or kilns, to the sophisticated Chinese porcelain wares made for the imperial court. Porcelain is also occasionally called “china” in English.

This could be divided into: Imperial porcelain “Guan yao – Imperial kiln/ware” ;Ordinary porcelain “Min yao – peoples ware”

Imperial kiln/ware – Guan yao
With this we mean “porcelain specifically made for the Chinese Emperor and the Imperial household”. If we forget the really old stuff and focus on the white bodied stoneware we in the west call porcelain the first specifically “Imperial” kiln was set up in Jingdezhen during the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368 ). From then on, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, “Imperial porcelain” was ordered from and made by this separate Imperial kiln – located at Zhushan (Pearl Hill) in the city of Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, where still today a thriving porcelain industry is fully functioning.

Peoples ware – Min yao
Most of the Chinese porcelain we see today are “Min yao – min=peoples yao=ware”, mostly bowls and all kinds of pieces connected to the way of life. This kind of porcelain have not changed very much over the years and might therefore be hard to date properly.

Types of Chinese porcelain wares

Tang Sancai burial wares

Sancai means three-colours. However, the colours of the glazes used to decorate the wares of the Tang dynasty were not limited to three in number. In the West, Tang sancai wares were sometimes referred to as egg-and-spinach by dealers for the use of green, yellow and white. Though the latter of the two colours might be more properly described as amber and off-white / cream.

Sancai wares were northern wares made using white and buff-firing secondary kaolins and fire clays. At kiln sites located at Tongchuan, Neiqui county in Hebei and Gongxian in Henan, the clays used for burial wares were similar to those used by Tang potters. The burial wares were fired at a lower temperature than contemporaneous whitewares. Burial wares, such as the well-known representations of camels and horses, were cast in sections, in moulds with the parts luted together using clay slip. In some cases, a degree of individuality was imparted to the assembled figurines by hand-carving.

Jian tea wares

Jian blackwares, mainly comprising tea wares, were made at kilns located in Jianyang of Fujian province. They reached the peak of their popularity during the Song dynasty. The wares were made using locally won, iron-rich clays and fired in an oxidising atmosphere at temperatures in the region of 1300 °C. The glaze was made using clay similar to that used for forming the body, except fluxed with wood-ash. At high temperatures the molten glaze separate to produce a pattern called hare’s fur. When Jian wares were set tilted for firing, drips run down the side, creating evidence of liquid glaze pooling.
At the time, tea was prepared by whisking powdered leaves that had been pressed into dried cakes together with hot water, (somewhat akin to matcha in Japanese Tea Ceremony). The water added to this powder produced a white froth that would stand out better against a dark bowl. Tastes in preparation changed during the Ming dynasty; the Hongwu Emperor himself preferred leaves to powdered cakes, and would accept only leaf tea as tribute from tea-producing regions. Leaf tea, in contrast to powdered tea, was prepared by steeping whole leaves in boiling water – a process that led to the invention of the teapot and subsequent popularity of Yixing wares over the dark tea bowls.
Jian tea wares of the Song dynasty were also greatly appreciated and copied in Japan, where they were known as tenmoku wares.

Ding ware
Ding ware was produced in Ding Xian (modern Chu-yang), Hebei Province, slightly south-west of Beijing. Already in production when the Song emperors came to power in 940, Ding ware was the finest porcelain produced in northern China at the time, and was the first to enter the palace for official imperial use. Its paste is white, generally covered with an almost transparent glaze that dripped and collected in “tears,” (though some Ding ware was glazed a monochrome black or brown, white was the much more common type). Overall, the Ding aesthetic relied more on its elegant shape than ostentatious decoration; designs were understated, either incised or stamped into the clay prior to glazing. Due to the way the dishes were stacked in the kiln, the edged remained unglazed, and had to be rimmed in metal such as gold or silver when used as tableware. Some hundred years later, a Southern Song era writer commented that it was this defect that led to its demise as favoured imperial ware.Since the Song court lost access to these northern kilns when they fled south, it has been argued that Qingbai ware was viewed as a replacement for Ding.

Ru ware
Like Ding ware, was produced in North China for imperial use. The Ru kilns were near the Northern Song capital at Kaifeng. In similar fashion to Longquan celadons, Ru pieces have small amounts of iron in their glaze that oxidize and turn greenish when fired in a reducing atmosphere. Ru wares range in colour—from nearly white to a deep robin’s egg—and often are covered with reddish-brown crackles. The crackles, or “crazing,” are caused when the glaze cools and contracts faster than the body, thus having to stretch and ultimately to split, The art historian James Watt comments that the Song dynasty was the first period that viewed crazing as a merit rather than a defect. Moreover, as time went on, the bodies got thinner and thinner, while glazes got thicker, until by the end of the Southern Song the ‘green-glaze’ was thicker than the body, making it extremely ‘fleshy’ rather than ‘bony,’ to use the traditional analogy . Too, the glaze tends to drip and pool slightly, leaving it thinner at the top, where the clay peeps through.

Jun ware
Jun ware was a third style of porcelain used at the Northern Song court. Characterized by a thicker body than Ding or Ru ware, Jun is covered with a turquoise and purple glaze, so thick and viscous looking that it almost seems to be melting off its substantial golden-brown body. Not only are Jun vessels more thickly potted, their shape is much more robust than the fine Jun pieces, yet both types were appreciated at court of Emperor Huizong. Jun production was centered at Jun-tai in Yüzhou city, Henan Province.

Guan ware
Guan ware, literally means “official” ware; so certain Ru, Jun, and even Ding could be considered Guan in the broad sense of being produced for the court. Strictly speaking, however, the term only applies to that produced by an official, imperially run kiln, which did not start until the Southern Song fled the advancing Jin and settled at Lin’an. It was during this period that walls become so thin and glaze so thick that the latter superseded the former in breadth. As the clay in the foothills around Lin’an, was a brownish colour, and the glaze so viscus, ‘’Guan’’ ware became known for its “brown mouth” indicating the top rim or a vessel where the glaze is thinner and the body shows through.

Guan ceramics have been much admired over the years, and very subject to copy. Indeed Gao Lain spends the greatest part of his commentary on describing Guan and its partner Ge ware , as though that were the most troublesome, least easily identified type of pottery.

Ge ware
Ge , literally means ‘big-brother’ ware, because legend has it that of two brothers working in Longquan, one made the typical celadon style ceramics, but the elder made ge ware, produced in his private kiln. Ming commentator, Gao Lian claims that the ge kiln took its clay from the same site as Guan ware, which is what accounts for the difficulty in distinguishing one from the other . Overall, Ge remains somewhat elusive, but basically comprises two types—one with a ‘warm rice-yellow glaze and two sets of crackles, a more prominent set of darker colour interspersed with a finer set of reddish lines (called chin-ssu t’ieh-hsien or ‘golden floss and iron threads’, which can just faintly be detected on this bowl: . The other Ge ware is much like Guan ware, with grayish glaze and one set of crackles. Once thought to have only been manufactured alongside Longquan celadon, per its legendary founding, Ge is now believed to have also been produced at Jingdezhen.

While similar to Guan ware, Ge typically has a grayish-blue glaze that is fully opaque with an almost matte finish . Its crackle pattern is exaggerated, often standing out in bold black. Though still shrouded in mystery, many specialists believe that Ge ware did not develop until the very late Southern Song or even the Yuan. In any case, enthusiasm for it persisted throughout the Ming; Wen Zhenheng preferred it to all other types of porcelain, in particular for brush washers and water droppers . Differences between later Ming imitations of Song/Yuan Ge include: Ming versions substitute a white porcelain body; they tend to be produced in a range of new shapes, for example those for the scholar’s studio; glazes tend to be thinner and more lustrous; and slip is applied to the rim and base to simulate the “brown mouth and iron foot” of Guan ware.

Qingbai wares
Qingbai wares were made at Jingdezhen and at many other southern kilns from the time of the Northern Song Dynasty until they were eclipsed in the 14th century by underglaze-decorated blue and white wares. Qingbai in Chinese literally means “clear blue-white”. The qingbai glaze is a porcelain glaze, so-called because it was made using pottery stone. The qingbai glaze is clear, but contains iron in small amounts. When applied over a white porcelain body the glaze produces a greenish-blue colour that gives the glaze its name. Some have incised or moulded decorations.

The Song dynasty qingbai bowl illustrated was likely made at the Jingdezhen village of Hutian, which was also the site of the Imperial kilns established in 1004. The bowl has incised decoration, possibly representing clouds or the reflection of clouds in the water. The body is white, translucent and has the texture of very-fine sugar, indicating that it was made using crushed and refined pottery stone instead of pottery stone and kaolin. The glaze and the body of the bowl would have been fired together, in a saggar, possibly in a large wood-burning dragon-kiln or climbing-kiln, typical of southern kilns in the period.

Blue and white wares

Following in the tradition of earlier qingbai porcelains, blue and white wares are glazed using a transparent porcelain glaze. The blue decoration is painted onto the body of the porcelain before glazing, using very finely ground cobalt oxide[mixed with water. After the decoration has been applied the pieces are glazed and fired.

It is believed that underglaze blue and white porcelain was first made in the Tang Dynasty. Only three complete pieces of Tang blue and white porcelain are known to exist, but shards dating to the 8th or 9th century have been unearthed at Yangzhou in the Jiangsu province. It has been suggested that the shards originated from a kiln in the province of Henan. In 1957, excavations at the site of a pagoda in the province Zhejiang uncovered a Northern Song bowl decorated with underglaze blue and further fragments have since been discovered at the same site. In 1970, a small fragment of a blue and white bowl, again dated to the 11th century, was also excavated in the province of Zhejiang.

Starting early in the 14th century, blue and white porcelain rapidly became the main product of Jingdezhen, reaching the height of its technical excellence during the later years of the reign of the Kangxi Emperor[38] and continuing in present times to be an important product of the city.

The tea caddy illustrated shows many of the characteristics of blue and white porcelain produced during the Kangxi period. The translucent body showing through the clear glaze is of great whiteness and the cobalt decoration, applied in many layers, has a fine blue hue. The decoration, a sage in a landscape of lakes and mountains with blazed rocks is typical of the period. The piece would have been fired in a saggar in a reducing atmosphere in a wood-burning egg-shaped kiln, at a temperature approaching 1350 °C.

Blanc de Chine
Blanc de Chine is a type of white porcelain made at Dehua in the Fujian province. It has been produced from the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) to the present day. Large quantities arrived in Europe as Chinese Export Porcelain in the early 18th century and it was copied at Meissen and elsewhere.
The area along the Fujian coast was traditionally one of the main ceramic exporting centers. Over one-hundred and eighty kiln sites have been identified extending in historical range from the Song period to present.
The porcelain body is not very plastic but vessel forms have been made from it. lists the following types of product: figures, boxes, vases and jars, cups and bowls, fishes, lamps, cup-stands, censers and flowerpots, animals, brush holders, wine and teapots, Buddhist and Taoist figures, secular figures and puppets. There was a large output of figures, especially religious figures, e.g. Guanyin, Maitreya, Lohan and Ta-mo figures.

3.Collins and Harlan

There was a time when, in American households, the expression “sung by Collins & Harlan” was instantly recognized, like an advertising jingle of the future such as “like a rock.” In the case of the popular vocal duo of the early 19th century, the comparison with a truck commercial serves a more literal purpose than simply pointing out how fleeting popular taste is or how quickly both stars and headlights can dim. Baritone Arthur Collins and tenor Byron Harlan were actually such large men that they were sometimes introduced as “the Half Ton Duo.” Collins was such a heavy piece of human machinery that when he accidentally stepped on a trap door backstage in 1921, the contraption gave way and the singer didn’t stop falling until he hit the basement. It took him two years to recover, but either member of the duo could be said to have earned a lengthy hiatus, not to take the accident lightly.

Collins is said to be the vocalist who made more recordings than any other artist of this period, some 200 sides for the Edison label alone. Partner Harlan sprinted just a bit behind on the discographical racetrack, cutting 130 slabs as a soloist, not to mention the duo’s prolific output of more than 100 Edison releases. With so much material pressed by these artists between 1902 and the late ’20s, it is not surprising that copies are still being found as well as bought and sold, although sellers sometimes feel a necessity to report on the relative presence of mold. In terms of content, some listeners may find some of the duo’s actual songs even more repulsive than any residue found on the record itself. Too often, the presence of a wide range of subject matter, from hating one’s wife (“My Wife Has Gone to the Country! Hurrah! Hurrah!”) to loving (“Alexander’s Ragtime Band”), is overlooked because of scandalous titles such as “Nigger Loves His Possum.” Both performers came up in the minstrel era, effectively inventing the concept of pop music once someone figured out how to make and sell recordings. Standing on the edge of some kind of controversial subject, be it minstrel themes or gangsta rap, seems to be part of the territory. Collins & Harlan can be said to be common currency in only one type of household in the 21st century, that being one that produces or distributes historic archival recordings. The duo is well-represented on such reissues, good news for any interested listeners with allergies to mold.

Dr. Fritz Rosen –

German Consul in Jerusalem in 1905

Andreas Michell German Ambassador in Jerusalem now

[The Dead Sea – Mrs Rosen on horseback. (Dr. Fritz Rosen – German Consul in Jerusalem)]

The Dead see Now

Our tour of Israel continues this morning with this photograph from the early 1900’s. The pictures shows a man relaxing in the Dead Sea.

I guess the Dead Sea is so salty that you actually bob like a cork in it rather than sinking. You can see he is floating quiet nicely, and is even reading a book and shading himself with an umbrella.

Jerusalem (El Quds esh Sherif, Yerushalayim) (June 1900)
[Church of the Holy Sepulchre]

The Church Now

The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is located in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, and is known as the Church of the Resurrection to Eastern Orthodox Christians.

It is revered as the site of Golgotha or Calvary, the spot where Christ was crucified. It is also widely believed to be the site of his burial (sepulcher).

It is the holiest of Christian sites, and has been a pilgrimage destination since the fourth century. It Is located less than 2,000 feet from

Temple Mount (Haram esh Sharif) with Dome of the Rock and El Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem

the Dome of the Rock and Temple Mount, which are the holiest sites in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam.

As Golgotha is the end of Christ’s last journey,

the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is set at the termination of

the Via Dolorosa,

the route he walked from his condemnation by Pontius Pilate and imprisonment to his crucifixion and burial.

The Via Dolorosa begins at

the Lion’s Gate (the first Station of the Cross)

in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City, and contains the 14 Stations of the Cross.

Stations 10 to 14 of the Cross are all within the church.

Station 10 is where Jesus was stripped,

and is just outside the entrance to the church. Station 11 is just inside the entrance, marking the spot where he was nailed to the cross. The Rock of Golgotha marks the spot where he died.

This is Station 12,

and here is the church’s lovely Medici altar from Florence, Italy.

Station 13

is where he was taken down from the cross,

and is where there is a statue of Our Lady of Sorrows.

Station 14

is the tomb and place of resurrection, and is inside the chapel.

The actual Rock of the Calvary, around which the Church of the Resurrection was built, is here and visible under glass on either side of the main altar.

Most scholars believe in the historic accuracy of the geography involved in the location of this Christian site. It appears that early Christians held religious rites on this site beginning with the resurrection.

After the city was occupied by Romans, the Emperor Hadrian built a temple to Aphrodite here in 66 AD.

When Constantine converted to Christianity in 312 AD, he began construction on the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in 326 AD.

The Rock of Golgotha was reputedly uncovered by the builders. His mother, St. Helena, is said to have found three crosses, one of which was supposedly the True Cross.

The church was almost completely destroyed in 1009, and it was subsequently partially rebuilt. It was this Church of the Resurrection where the knights of the First Crusade prayed.

Their leader, Godfrey of Bouillon, became the first Christian King of Jerusalem and “Defender of the Holy Sepulcher.”

The history of the church can be seen in the mixtures of various architecture, which is a mixture of Byzantine, medieval, Crusader, and modern elements. Additionally, the church is jointly administered by orthodox and apostolic Christians from Greece, Armenia, and Ethiopia—in addition to the Roman Catholic Church. Their artistic and architectural influences are also evident.

Collecting basketball cards is one of the greatest hobbies today. Not only is a hobby, but it is also a serious business for many basketball card collectors. Some of the most popular basketball cards that are being collected today are basketball rookie cards, autographed cards, and even game worn cards. When you are looking to buy basketball cards, you have to consider a number of factors such as the popularity of the player, the condition of the card and, is the card graded or not.

How to Increase Your Basketball Cards Value

When you are trying to sell your basketball cards for a profit you will have to take into consideration the condition of the card. If the card has scratches on it or any other damage to it, its value will naturally go down. To increase the value of your basketball cards you can have them graded, which means that a professional grading company will authenticate your cards and give them a grade from 1 to 10, ten being the highest. This will increase your basketball card values and you will be able to sell them for more money.

Why It’s Important to Use a Basketball Card Price Guide

Using a basketball card price guide is the best thing you can to get an idea on what your basketball cards are really worth. You can purchase price guides online like the beckett price guide which is what most people use. If you know a card collector that can see how much your cards are worth that will be also helpful. Its very important that you know what your basketball cards are worth so that you wont sell them for more or less than what they are really worth.

Collecting Basketball Trading Cards

Basketball trading cards are as popular as basketball itself. Of course some of the most popular basketball players that collectors are searching for are Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant Basketball Cards, and Michael Jordan Basketball Cards. These are players that basketball card collectors are also interested in and their cards are always in demand.

How to Find Basketball Card Prices

If you want to find out what are the prices of the basketball cards that you have then one thing you can do is use a price guide that will tell you how much it will cost you to buy a specific card and how much you can get when you sell it. Basketball price guides are usually not expensive but what most people don’t understand is that when you buy a price guide or when you subscribe to a site that gives you basketball card prices for a fee of course, you will have access to a wealth of information about basketball cards. Basketball card pricing is determined by a number of things such if the card is a rookie card it will more than likely be more valuable. If a basketball cards is old it is also more valuable to basketball card collectors. If you have autographed basketball cards then they are more valuable since they are harder to come by. When you want to know what a specific card is worth you should go to an auction site like eBay for example and look for that card and see how much people are selling it for.

What Are Your Basketball Card Worth?

If you are wondering what your basketball cards are worth then there are a couple of things you can like go to a cards shop and ask the collector how much they are worth. Also you can go to auction sites like eBay where millions of people are buying and selling basketball cards every day. To keep your cards in the best condition and therefore there value will stay high, you can make sure that they are storage correctly. Placing them in hard plastic covers is the best thing you can do because you eliminate the possibility of harming your cards in any way.

Rookie Basketball Cards

Rookie basketball cards are very popular with basketball card collectors because rookie cards are the first year cards of sports players. Usually people are looking for rookie cards because they are harder to find and they always want to add then to their basketball card collection. If you are able to find graded basketball rookie cards, even better. If the cards are not graded then you probably should have them graded.

Where to Buy Basketball Cards

If you want to buy basketball cards but you are not sure where the best place to buy them is, then you can try a couple of places like eBay. This is one of the most popular auction sites that people and card collectors use. You can find any card that you want on eBay for affordable prices. There are also sports sites that sell basketball cards from all the NBA teams. You can find basketball rookie cards, autographed cards, and even game used cards. Some basketball cards are harder to find like insert cards which are a part of a set and that set name is usually on the back of the card. Another card that is harder to find because it is more in demand is the game used or game worn basketball card which are cards that have a piece of the player’s jersey on it or another item. This cards and more you will be able to find at basketball card boxes that you can purchase online.

Buying Autographed Basketball Cards

Autographed basketball cards will always be in demand because they are harder to get a hold of. Any sports item that is autographed will be more valuable and people will always pay more money for it. If you are able to find Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or Lebron James autographed basketball cards then you have added a lot of value to your basketball card collection. If these are the cards that you are trying to sell then you shouldn’t have a problem getting good money for them

I dedicate this paper to my son Albert Suwandy Djohan Oetama, because the advice I have successfully invested NBA basketball cards, he was watching the game last Michel Jordan in the 1998 NBA Finals during the Chaos peregantian president Suharto in my house in krelapa Ivory.

The Situation of NBA Trade Card now in2012

Normally we don’t bring up price for several reasons.

1 – prices change over time.

2 – the question of value can be subjective.

For some $4 a pack is expensive, for others $200 a box is nothing. But with 2011-12 Panini Preferred Basketball we felt it necessary to bring up price to emphasis the level of the “high risk, high reward” nature of this box.

Now lets move to the bulk of the review, the cards. There are four styles of autograph cards you can pull. The Panini Preferred Signatures that are standard cards with autographs, Panini Choice Awards styled after the old Cramer’s Choice Award triangular die cuts, the impressive Crown Royale Silhouettes and the Crown Royal die cut signature cards. There is also a 6 to 8 swatch booklet card in every box.

Preferred is unquestionably in our ultra premium cards category. Each box contains 4 cards, three autographs and one booklet card.

Here are the cards we pulled from our box.

Ekpe Udoh Preferred Signatures #/49, Darryl Dawkins Preferred Signatures #/74

Brandon Jennings Sihlouette Material/Auto #/49

Preferred 7 swatch booklet “Assists” Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Tony Parker, Derrick Rose, Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul & Rajon Rondo

Overall Look

We have already established how great the Silhouettes are and the die cut award and Royale cards are also good looking. Normally I don’t have an issue with sticker autos and I understand the production process enough to know how going all on-card for a product is difficult, but at $50 a card, the non-recessed or framed sticker autos are definitely not Preferred, a real shame in a product that otherwise is outstanding.

Quality and Variety of Players

Because of the lockout, there are no rookie cards in this product, which enhances the checklist for me personally. I prefer my high end products to be mainly proven players with established appeal. I am aware that hot rookies can drive a product and bring big money for those who flip cards, but it increases the risk for anyone who is holding onto these cards long term as the value can spiral downward rather quickly.

Thrill Seeking Fulfillment and Experience

The thrill is there for this product with plenty of chances to hit big cards.

Buyers Remorse or Speculator’s Delight

If you are only planning of flipping these cards you might have a difficult time recouping your money unless you buy in bulk to spread the risk which could lead to buyers remorse. But for those who collect and hold, if you understand the high risk nature of Preferred, there is a good chance you will walk away happy.

Kata Pengantar

Sejak program TV tersedia di Indonesia (TVRI) saya telah melihat berbagai pertandingan Basketball NBA sekitar tahun 1970 dengan bintang NBA saat itu Hakeem Abdul Djabar,Larry Birth, dan kemudian menjadi lebih menarik sejak tampilnya mahabintang NBA Michel Jordan dengan teman-temannya dari BULLS dan lawan tanguhnya seperti Shaq O’Neill, Charles Barkeley, Kevin Garnet.

Pada tahun 1998 saat terjadi resesi internasional dimana Indonesia juga terjadi inflasi yang sangat hebat kurs rupiah turun dari satu dollar RP.1500.- menjadi Rp. 15.000 dan kemudian menjadi stabil berkisar Rp.9000.’.

Pada saat itu kartu basket NBA sangat banyak dijual di Jakarta khususnya di Mall Citra Land yang banyak peminatnya dari mahasiswa Trisakti dan Tarumanegara. juga di Mall Kelapa gading di toko P%J. serta Mall Arion.

Akibat Inflasi tersebut kartu basket mengalami kehancuran bauk dalam poipularitas karena mundurnya Michel Jordan walaupun kemudian popularitasnya membaik dengan munculnya bintang NBA baru KOBE dan TIM DUNCAN, banyak kartu dijual dengan obral harga masih tetap dengan kuurs lama sehingga jadi sangat murah sekali.

Saya melihat kesempatan ini, dan mmeutuskan untu berinvestasi di Trade Card khususnya kartu Basket NBA

sebab dengan US# 100.- yang saat itu bernilai RP.Rp/1.500.0000.- dapat memperoleh sangat banyak kartu yang hanya dijual berkisar Rp. 3000.- sa,pai Rp.10.000. saja.dari investasi tersebut saya menemukan sangat banyak kartu basket NBA ,

Pada awalnya saya hanya mengumpul kartu edisi khusus terbatas saja seperti cetakan hanya 100 kartu kebawah, kemudian kartu edisi terbatas para bintang NBA, kemudian kartu Rookie papan atas,selanjutnyasaya mulai menyusun suatu buku elektronik dalam CD-ROM berisi sejarah perkembangan NBA dan kartu basket(Trade Card) yang populer dan inilah hasilnya.

Karya tulis ini saya tulis untuk generasi yang akan datang sebab saat ini para Bintang NBA Era sebelum Michel jordan sudah tidak ada yang mengetahuinya, ini dinamakan Vintage Tr4ade Card,

Kemudian era Jordan akan dibagi dalam beberapa bagian NBA STAR History part legend NBA ,part 1985-1990, Part 1990-1995,Part 1995-200,dan part 2000-2005.

Saat ini tentu para pecinta NBA adalah fans dari bintang NBA muthakir King James dari Miami Heats, Shaq O’Neill dan Michel Jordan sudah pensiun.

Karya tulis ini masih banyak kekurangannya sehingga komentar,saran dan tambahan informasi sangat saya harapkan.

Karya tulis ini saya dedikasikan kepada Putra saya Albert suwandy Djohan Oetama, karena atas sarannya saya telah berhasil menginvestasikan kartu basket NBA , Ia masih menonton pertandingan terakhir Michel Jordan dalam Final NBA tahun 1998 saat terjadi Chaos pergantian presiden suharto dirumah saya di krelapa Gading.

INTRODUCTION

NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award

From Wikipedia

The National Basketball Association All-Star Game Most Valuable Player (MVP) is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given to the player(s) voted best of the annual All-Star Game. The award was established in 1953 when NBA officials decided to designate an MVP for each year’s game. The league also re-honored players from the previous two All-Star Games. Ed Macauley and Paul Arizin were selected as the 1951 and 1952 MVP winners respectively.^[1] The voting is conducted by a panel of media members, who cast their vote after the conclusion of the game. The player(s) with the most votes or ties for the most votes wins the award.^[2] No All-Star Game MVP was named in 1999 since the game was canceled due to the league’s lockout.^[3]

Bob Pettit and Kobe Bryant are the only two players to win the All-Star Game MVP four times. Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, and Shaquille O’Neal have each won the award three times, while Bob Cousy, Julius Erving, Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Karl Malone, Allen Iverson, and LeBron James have all won the award twice. James’ first All-Star MVP in 2006 made him the youngest to have ever won the award at the age of 21.^[4] Four of the games had joint winners—Elgin Baylor and Pettit in 1959, John Stockton and Malone in 1993, O’Neal and Tim Duncan in 2000, as well as Bryant and O’Neal in 2009. O’Neal became the first player in All-Star history to share two MVP awards. The Los Angeles Lakers have had eleven winners while the Boston Celtics have had eight. Duncan of the U.S. Virgin Islands is the only winner not born in the United States. Duncan is an American citizen, but is considered an “international” player by the NBA because he was not born in one of the fifty states or Washington, D.C.^[5] No player trained entirely outside the U.S. has won the award; Duncan played U.S. college basketball at Wake Forest. The 2011 All-Star Game MVP was Bryant. The 2012 All star Game MVP was Kevin Durant.^[6]

Winners

Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain won the award in the 1960 NBA All-Star Game.

Hall of Famer Michael Jordan won the award three times in his career.

Hall of Famer Charles Barkley won the award in the 1991 NBA All-Star Game.

Shaquille O’Neal has won the award three times in his career.

Kobe Bryant has won the award four times in his career.

List of NBA champions

Source Wiki

The National Basketball Association (NBA) (or Basketball Association of America (BAA) from 1946–49) Finals is the championship series for the NBA and the conclusion of the sport’s postseason. All Finals have been played in a best-of-seven format, and contested between the winners of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference (formerly Divisions before 1970), except in 1950 in which the Eastern Division champion faced the winner between the Western and Central Division champions. Prior to 1949, the playoffs were instituted a three-stage tournament where the two semifinal winners played each other in the finals.^[1][2][3] The winning team of the series receives the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.

The home-and-away format in the NBA Finals was in a 2–2–1–1–1 format (that is, the team with the better regular season record plays on their home court in Games 1, 2, 5 and 7) until 1985 (except 1949 and 1953–1955, in a 2–3–2 format;^[4][5][6][7] 1956 and 1971, in 1–1–1–1–1–1–1 format;^[8][9] 1975 and 1978, in a 1–2–2–1–1 format).^[10][11] After 1985, the games were changed to a 2–3–2 format (the team with the better regular season record plays on their home court in Games 1, 2, 6 and 7).^[12]

The Eastern Conference/Division leads the Western Conference/Division in series won (35–27). The defunct Central Division won one championship. The Boston Celtics and the Minneapolis / Los Angeles Lakers alone own half of the titles, having won a combined 33 of 66 championships.

Trophies

The original Walter A. Brown Trophy displayed at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

The Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy. This trophy design was commissioned in 1977 to replace the original, retaining the Walter A. Brown Trophy name until 1984.

[edit] Walter A. Brown Trophy

The Walter A. Brown Trophy was a trophy awarded to the BAA/NBA champions from 1949 to 1977. The trophy was kept by the winning team for one year and given to the winning team of the following year’s finals, unless the previous team won again, much like the NHL’s Stanley Cup, which continues that tradition to this day.

The trophy was originally referred to as the NBA Finals trophy,^[13] but was renamed in 1964 after Walter A. Brown, the original owner of the Boston Celtics who was instrumental in merging the BAA and the National Basketball League into the NBA in 1949.^[14][15]

A new trophy design was created for the 1977 NBA Finals, although it retained the Walter A. Brown title. Unlike the original championship trophy, the new trophy was given permanently to the winning team and a new one was made every year. It was renamed the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy in 1984 to honor former NBA commissioner Larry O’Brien.^[16][17][18]

The inaugural winner of the trophy was the Philadelphia Warriors, who defeated the Chicago Stags.^[19] The Boston Celtics won the trophy 14 times, the most in league history. From 1957 to 1969, they won the NBA Finals 11 out of 13 times, including eight consecutive wins. The final recipient of the trophy was the Philadelphia 76ers, who defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1983 NBA Finals.

[edit] Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy

Main article: Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy

As mentioned above, the trophy was renamed to the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy in 1984 in honor of Larry O’Brien, who served as the NBA commissioner from 1975 to 1983.^[16] The trophy is made out of 14.5 pounds of sterling silver and vermeil with a 24 karat gold overlay, and stands 2 feet (0.61 m) tall. It is designed to look like a basketball about to enter a net. The year and team names are engraved on the trophies, and are often prominently displayed in the team’s arena.^[17][18][20]

The Boston Celtics were the inaugural winner of the renamed trophy in 1984 defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games (4–3) in the 1984 NBA Finals.^[21] The Los Angeles Lakers have won the trophy eight times, and the Chicago Bulls have won it six times.^[22] The Miami Heat are the current holders after winning the title in 2012.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the pre-eminent men’s professional basketball league in North America. With thirty franchised member clubs (29 in the United States and 1 in Canada), the NBA is widely considered to be the premier men’s professional basketball league in the world. It is an active member of USA Basketball (USAB),^[1] which is recognized by FIBA (also known as the International Basketball Federation) as the national governing body for basketball in the United States. The NBA is one of the 4 major North American professional sports leagues. NBA players are the world’s best paid sportsmen, by average annual salary per player.^[2]

The league was founded in New York City on June 6, 1946 as the Basketball Association of America (BAA).^[3] The league adopted the name National Basketball Association in 1949 after merging with the rival National Basketball League (NBL). The league’s several international as well as individual team offices are directed out of its head offices located in the Olympic Tower at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York City. NBA Entertainment and NBA TV studios are directed out of offices located in Secaucus, New Jersey.

[edit] History

[edit] Creation and merger

Main article: Basketball Association of America

The Basketball Association of America was founded in 1946 by owners of the major ice hockey arenas in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States and Canada. On November 1, 1946, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Toronto Huskies hosted the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens, in a game the NBA now regards as the first played in its history.^[4] Although there had been earlier attempts at professional basketball leagues, including the American Basketball League and the NBL, the BAA was the first league to attempt to play primarily in large arenas in major cities. During its early years, the quality of play in the BAA was not significantly better than in competing leagues or among leading independent clubs such as the Harlem Globetrotters. For instance, the 1948 ABL finalist Baltimore Bullets moved to the BAA and won that league’s 1948 title, and the 1948 NBL champion Minneapolis Lakers won the 1949 BAA title.

On August 3, 1949, the BAA agreed to merge with the NBL, creating the new National Basketball Association.^[6] The new league had seventeen franchises located in a mix of large and small cities,^[6] as well as large arenas and smaller gymnasiums and armories. In 1950, the NBA consolidated to eleven franchises, a process that continued until 1953–54, when the league reached its smallest size of eight franchises, all of which are still in the league (the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Royals/Kings, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, and Nationals/76ers). The process of contraction saw the league’s smaller-city franchises move to larger cities. The Hawks shifted from “Tri-Cities” (the area now known as the Quad Cities) to Milwaukee (in 1951) and then to St. Louis, Missouri (in 1955); the Royals from Rochester, New York to Cincinnati (in 1957); and the Pistons from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Detroit (in 1957).

Although Japanese-American Wataru Misaka technically broke the NBA color barrier in the 1947–48 season when he played for the New York Knicks, 1950 is recognized as the year the NBA integrated. This year witnessed the addition of African American players by several teams, including Chuck Cooper with the Celtics, Nathaniel “Sweetwater” Clifton with the Knicks, and Earl Lloyd with the Washington Capitols. During this period, the Minneapolis Lakers, led by center George Mikan, won five NBA Championships and established themselves as the league’s first dynasty.^[7] To encourage shooting and discourage stalling, the league introduced the 24-second shot clock in 1954.^[8] If a team does not attempt to score a field goal (or the ball fails to make contact with the rim) within 24 seconds of obtaining the ball, play is stopped and the ball given to its opponent.

[edit] Celtics’ dominance, league expansion, and competition

In 1957, rookie center Bill Russell joined the Boston Celtics, who already featured guard Bob Cousy and coach Red Auerbach, and went on to lead the club to eleven NBA titles in thirteen seasons. Center Wilt Chamberlain entered the league with the Warriors in 1959 and became a dominant individual star of the 1960s, setting new single game records in scoring (100) and rebounding (55). Russell’s rivalry with Chamberlain became one of the greatest in the history of American team sports.

The 1960s were dominated by the Celtics. Led by Russell, Bob Cousy and coach Red Auerbach, Boston won eight straight championships in the NBA from the 1959–66. This championship streak is the longest in NBA history. They did not win the title in 1966-67, but regained it in the 1967-68 season and repeated in 1969. The domination totaled nine of the 10 championship banners of the 1960s.^[9]

Through this period, the NBA continued to strengthen with the shift of the Minneapolis Lakers to Los Angeles, the Philadelphia Warriors to San Francisco, the Syracuse Nationals to Philadelphia to become the Philadelphia 76ers, and the St. Louis Hawks moving to Atlanta, as well as the addition of its first expansion franchises. The Chicago Packers (now Washington Wizards) became the ninth NBA team in 1961. From 1966 to 1968, the league expanded from 9 to 14 teams, introducing the Chicago Bulls, Seattle SuperSonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder), San Diego Rockets (who relocated to Houston four years later), Milwaukee Bucks, and Phoenix Suns.

In 1967, the league faced a new external threat with the formation of the American Basketball Association (ABA). The leagues engaged in a bidding war. The NBA landed the most important college star of the era, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor). However, the NBA’s leading scorer, Rick Barry, jumped to the ABA, as did four veteran referees—Norm Drucker, Earl Strom, John Vanak, and Joe Gushue.^[10]

In 1969, Alan Siegel, who oversaw the design of Jerry Dior’s Major League Baseball logo a year prior, created the modern NBA logo inspired by the MLB’s. It incorporates the silhouette of the legendary Jerry West based on a photo by Wen Roberts, although NBA officials denied a particular player as being its influence because, according to Siegel, “They want to institutionalize it rather than individualize it. It’s become such a ubiquitous, classic symbol and focal point of their identity and their licensing program that they don’t necessarily want to identify it with one player.” The iconic logo debuted in 1971 and would remain a fixture of the NBA brand.^[11]^[12]

The ABA succeeded in signing a number of major stars in the ’70s, including Julius Erving of the Virginia Squires, in part because it allowed teams to sign college undergraduates. The NBA expanded rapidly during this period, one purpose being to tie up the most viable cities. From 1966 to 1974, the NBA grew from nine franchises to 18. In 1970, the Portland Trail Blazers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Buffalo Braves (now the Los Angeles Clippers) all made their debuts expanding the league to 17.^[13] The New Orleans Jazz (now in Utah) came aboard in 1974 bringing the total to 18. Following the 1976 season, the leagues reached a settlement that provided for the addition of four ABA franchises to the NBA, raising the number of franchises in the league at that time to 22. The franchises added were the San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, and New York Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets). Some of the biggest stars of this era were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Rick Barry, Dave Cowens, Julius Erving, Elvin Hayes, Walt Frazier, Moses Malone, Artis Gilmore, George Gervin, Dan Issel, and Pete Maravich. The end of the decade, however, saw declining TV ratings, low attendance and drug-related player issues – both perceived and real – that threatened to derail the NBA.

[edit] Surging popularity

The league added the ABA’s innovative three-point field goal beginning in 1979 to open up the game. That same year, rookies Larry Bird and Magic Johnson joined the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers respectively, initiating a period of significant growth in fan interest in the NBA throughout the country and the world. In 1984 they played against each other for the first time in the NBA Finals. Johnson went on to lead the Lakers to five titles, and Bird went on to lead the Celtics to three. Also in the early ’80s, the NBA added one more expansion franchise, the Dallas Mavericks, bringing the total to 23 teams. Later on, Larry Bird won the first three three-point shooting contests. Current league commissioner David Stern took office on April 1, 1984, and oversaw the expansion and growth of the NBA to a global commodity.

Michael Jordan going in for a dunk

Michael Jordan entered the league in 1984 with the Chicago Bulls, providing an even more popular star to support growing interest in the league. This resulted in more cities demanding teams of their own. In 1988 and 1989, four cities got their wishes as the Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, and Minnesota Timberwolves made their NBA debuts, bringing the total to 27 teams. In the first year of the 1990s, the Detroit Pistons would win the second of their back-to-back titles, led by Chuck Daly and Isiah Thomas. Jordan and Scottie Pippen would lead the Bulls to two three-peats in eight years during the 1991–98 seasons. Hakeem Olajuwon won back-to-back titles with the Houston Rockets in ’94 and ’95.

The 1992 Olympic basketball Dream Team, the first to use current NBA stars, featured Michael Jordan as the anchor, along with Bird, Magic, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pippen, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Chris Mullin, Charles Barkley, and Christian Laettner.

In 1995, the NBA expanded to Canada with the addition of the Vancouver Grizzlies and the Toronto Raptors. In 2001, the Vancouver Grizzlies relocated to Memphis, which left the Raptors as the only Canadian team in the NBA. In 1996, the NBA created a women’s league, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). In 1998, the NBA owners began a lockout which lasted 191 days and was settled on January 18, 1999. As a result of this lockout the 1998–99 NBA season was reduced from 82 to 50 games (61% of a normal season), and the All-Star Game was cancelled. The San Antonio Spurs won their first championship, and first by a former ABA team, by beating the New York Knicks, who were the first, and to this date, the only, eighth seed to ever make the NBA Finals.

[edit] Modern era

Since the breakup of the Chicago Bulls championship roster in the summer of 1998, the Western Conference has dominated, with the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs combining to win the title in nine of fourteen years. Tim Duncan and David Robinson won the 1999 championship with the Spurs, and Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant started the 2000s with three consecutive championships for the Lakers. The Spurs reclaimed the title in 2003 against the Nets. In 2004, the Lakers returned to the Finals, only to fall in five games to the Detroit Pistons.

After the Spurs took home the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy in 2005, the 2006 Finals featured two franchises making their inaugural Finals appearances. The Miami Heat, led by their star shooting guard, Dwyane Wade, and Shaquille O’Neal, who had been traded from the Lakers during the 2004 summer, won the series over the Dallas Mavericks in 6 after losing the first two games. The Lakers/Spurs dominance continued in 2007 with a four-game sweep by the Spurs over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were led by LeBron James. The 2008 Finals saw a rematch of the league’s highest profile rivalry, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, with the Celtics prevailing, for their league leading 17th championship, thanks to their new big three of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett.

In 2009, the Lakers with Kobe Bryant returned to the Finals, this time defeating the Dwight Howard-led Orlando Magic.^[14] Kobe Bryant won his first Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award award in his 13th season after leading the Lakers to their first NBA championship since the departure of Shaquille O’Neal.^[15]

The 2010 NBA All-Star Game was held at Cowboys Stadium in front of the largest crowd ever, 108,713.^[16] At the end of that season, the Celtics and the Lakers renewed their rivalry from 2008 when they met again in the NBA Finals for a record 12th time. The Lakers won the title in Game 7, 83–79.^[17] Before the start of the 2010–11 season the NBA had an exciting summer with one of the most anticipated free agent classes of all time. Two of which signed, and one resigned, with the Miami Heat, leading to a season that was heavily centered on their eventual success or failure at taking home the championship. The Heat, led by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, did in fact make the Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, in a rematch for the franchises of the 2006 Finals. The Mavericks, led by Dirk Nowitzki (the eventual NBA Finals MVP), took the series in six games. This was the Mavericks’ first title. Other veterans like Shawn Marion, Jason Kidd, and Jason Terry also won their first titles with Nowitzki.

On July 1, 2011, at 12:01 a.m., the NBA announced another lockout.^[18] After the first few weeks of the season were canceled, the players and owners ratified a new collective bargaining agreement on December 8, 2011, setting up a shortened 66-game season.^[19]

Since 2006, the NBA has faced Euroleague teams in exhibition matches in the NBA Europe Live Tour and since 2009 in the Euroleague American Tour.

The 2009–10 season season opened with a record of 83 international players on the opening night rosters, tying the record set in the 2006–07 season.^[20]

[edit] Other developments

In 2001, an affiliated minor league, the National Basketball Development League, now called the NBA Development League (or D-League) was created.^[21] Before the league was started, there were strong rumors that the NBA would purchase the CBA, and call it its developmental league, as the Continental Basketball Association was its “minor league” affiliate for years. 20% of NBA players spent time in this league and over 143 players have been called up to play in the NBA.^{[citation needed]}

In 2004, two years after the Hornets’ relocation to New Orleans, the NBA returned to North Carolina as the Charlotte Bobcats were formed as an expansion team.

In 2005, the Hornets relocated to Oklahoma City for two seasons because of damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. In 2007, the Hornets returned to New Orleans.

On June 28, 2006, a new official game ball was introduced for the 2006–07 season, marking the first change to the ball in over 35 years and only the second ball in 60 seasons.^[22] Manufactured by Spalding, the new ball featured a new design and new synthetic material that Spalding claimed offered a better grip, feel, and consistency than the original ball. However, many players were vocal in their disdain for the new ball, saying that it was too sticky when dry, and too slippery when wet.

On December 11, 2006, Commissioner Stern announced that beginning January 1, 2007, the NBA would return to the traditional leather basketball in use prior to the 2006–07 season. The change was influenced by frequent player complaints and confirmed hand injuries (cuts) caused by the microfiber ball.^[23] The Players’ Association had filed a suit in behalf of the players against the NBA over the new ball.^[24] As of 2006, the NBA team jerseys are manufactured by Adidas, which purchased the previous supplier, Reebok.

On July 19, 2007, the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated allegations that veteran NBA referee Tim Donaghy bet on basketball games he officiated over the past two seasons and that he made calls affecting the point spread in those games.^[25] On August 15, 2007, Donaghy pleaded guilty to two federal charges related to the investigation. However, he could face additional charges if it is determined that he deliberately miscalled individual games. Donaghy claimed in 2008 that certain refs were friendly with players and “company men” for the NBA. Donaghy alleged that refs influenced the outcome of certain playoff and finals games in 2002 and 2005. NBA commissioner David Stern denied the allegations and said Donaghy was a convicted felon and a “singing, cooperating witness”.^[26] Donaghy served 15 months in prison and was released in November 2009.^[27] According to an independent study by Ronald Beech of Game 6 of the NBA 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Kings, although the refs increased the Lakers’ chances of winning through foul calls during the game, there was no collusion to fix the game. On alleged “star treatment” during Game 6 by the refs toward certain players, Beech claimed, “there does seem to be issues with different standards and allowances for different players.” ^[28]

On July 2, 2008, it was announced that the Seattle SuperSonics would relocate to Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City Thunder began playing in the 2008–09 season.

On October 11, 2008, the Phoenix Suns and the Denver Nuggets played the first outdoor game in the modern era of the NBA at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.^[29]

On September 1, 2009, the contract between the NBA and its referees expired, creating a referee lockout. On October 1, 2009, the first preseason games were played and replacement referees from the WNBA and NBA Development League were used. The last time replacement referees were used was the beginning of the 1995–96 season.^[30] The NBA and the regular referees reached a deal on October 23, 2009.^[31]

In 2011 the first official NBA league games on European ground took place. In two matchups the New Jersey Nets faced the Toronto Raptors in London‘s O2 Arena in front of over 20,000 fans.

In July 2011, the NBA laid off around 114 league employees (about 11 percent of all the league office workforce) to save money.^[32]

The 2011–12 NBA season, scheduled to begin November 1, 2011 with a matchup between the defending champion Dallas Mavericks and the Chicago Bulls, was postponed due to a labor dispute. The lockout officially ended on December 8, 2011, when players and owners ratified a new collective bargaining agreement, and the season began on Christmas Day.

On April 30, 2012, the New Jersey Nets officially changed their name to the Brooklyn Nets. They will begin playing in the New York City borough of Brooklyn in the 2012–13 season.

[edit] Teams

See also: List of defunct National Basketball Association teams

The NBA originated in 1946 with 11 teams, and through a sequence of team expansions, reductions, and relocations currently consists of 30 teams. The United States is home to 29 teams and one is located in Canada. The Boston Celtics have won the most championships with 17 NBA Finals wins. The second most successful franchise is the Los Angeles Lakers, who have 16 overall championships (11 in Los Angeles, 5 in Minneapolis). Following the Lakers are the Chicago Bulls with six championships, all of them over an 8-year span during the 1990s, and the San Antonio Spurs with four championships, all since 1999.

The current league organization divides thirty teams into two conferences of three divisions with five teams each. The current divisional alignment was introduced in the 2004–05 season.

[edit] Regular season

Following the summer break, teams begin training camps in late September. Training camps allow the coaching staff to evaluate players (especially rookies), scout the team’s strengths and weaknesses, prepare the players for the rigorous regular season, and determine the 12-man active roster (and a 3-man inactive list) with which they will begin the regular season. Teams have the ability to assign players with less than two years of experience to the NBA development league. After training camp, a series of preseason exhibition games are held. The NBA regular season begins in the last week of October.

During the regular season, each team plays 82 games, 41 each home and away. A team faces opponents in its own division four times a year (16 games). Each team plays six of the teams from the other two divisions in its conference four times (24 games), and the remaining four teams three times (12 games). Finally, each team plays all the teams in the other conference twice apiece (30 games). This asymmetrical structure means the strength of schedule will vary between teams (but not as significantly as the NFL or MLB). Over five seasons, each team will have played 80 games against their division (20 games against each opponent, 10 at home, 10 on the road), 180 games against the rest of their conference (18 games against each opponent, 9 at home, 9 on the road), and 150 games against the other conference (10 games against each team, 5 at home, 5 on the road).

The Miami Heat playing the Orlando Magic in 2011

As of 2008, the NBA is one of only two of the Big 4 in North America in which teams play every other team during the regular season (the other being the National Hockey League). Each team hosts and visits every other team at least once every season. For a few seasons until 2008, the NBA had the distinction of being the only one of the four major leagues in which all teams play every other team.

The NBA is also the only league that regularly schedules games on Christmas Day.^[33] The league has been playing games regularly on the holiday since 1947,^[34] though the first Christmas Day games weren’t televised until 1983–84.^[35] Games played on this day have featured some of the best teams and players.^[33]^[34]^[35] Christmas is also notable for NBA on television, as the holiday is when the first NBA games air on network television each season.^[34]^[35] Games played on this day have been some of the highest-rated games during a particular season.

In February, the regular season pauses to celebrate the annual NBA All-Star Game. Fans vote throughout the United States, Canada, and on the Internet, and the top vote-getters at each position in each conference are given a starting spot on their conference’s All-Star team. Coaches vote to choose the remaining 14 All-Stars. Then, Eastern conference players face the Western conference players in the All-Star game. The player with the best performance during the game is rewarded with a Game MVP award. Other attractions of the All-Star break include the Rookie Challenge, where the top rookies and second-year players in the NBA play against each other in a 5-on-5 basketball game; the Skills Challenge, where players compete to finish an obstacle course consisting of shooting, passing, and dribbling in the fastest time; the Three Point Contest, where players compete to score the most amount of three-point field goals in a given time; and the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, where players compete to dunk the ball in the most entertaining way according to the judges. These other attractions have varying names which include the names of the various sponsors who have paid for naming rights.

Shortly after the All-Star break is the trade deadline, which is set to fall on the 16th Thursday of the season (usually in February) at 3pm Eastern Time.^[36]^[37] After this date, teams are not allowed to exchange players with each other for the remainder of the season, although they may still sign and release players. Major trades are often completed right before the trading deadline, making that day a hectic time for general managers.

Around the middle of April, the regular season ends. It is during this time that voting begins for individual awards, as well as the selection of the honorary, league-wide, post-season teams. The Sixth Man of the Year Award is given to the best player coming off the bench (must have more games coming off the bench than actual games started). The Rookie of the Year Award is awarded to the most outstanding first-year player. The Most Improved Player Award is awarded to the player who is deemed to have shown the most improvement from the previous season. The Defensive Player of the Year Award is awarded to the league’s best defender. The Coach of the Year Award is awarded to the coach that has made the most positive difference to a team. The Most Valuable Player Award is given to player deemed the most valuable for (his team) that season. Additionally, Sporting News awards an unofficial (but widely recognized) Executive of the Year Award to the general manager who is adjudged to have performed the best job for the benefit of his franchise.

The post-season teams are the All-NBA Team, the All-Defensive Team, and the All-Rookie Team; each consists of five players. There are three All-NBA teams, consisting of the top players at each position, with first-team status being the most desirable. There are two All-Defensive teams, consisting of the top defenders at each position. There are also two All-Rookie teams, consisting of the top first-year players regardless of position.

[edit] Playoffs

Main article: NBA Playoffs

The Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy is awarded to the winner of the NBA Finals.

NBA Playoffs begin in late April, with eight teams in each conference going for the Championship. The three division winners, along with the team with the next best record from the conference are given the top four seeds. The next four teams in terms of record are given the lower four seeds.

Having a higher seed offers several advantages. Since the first seed begins the playoffs playing against the eighth seed, the second seed plays the seventh seed, the third seed plays the sixth seed, and the fourth seed plays the fifth seed, having a higher seed means a team faces a weaker team in the first round. The team in each series with the better record has home court advantage, including the First Round. This means that, for example, if the team who receives the 5 seed has a better record than the team with the 4 seed (by virtue of a divisional championship), the 5 seed would have home court advantage, even though the other team has a higher seed. Therefore, the team with the best regular season record in the league is guaranteed home court advantage in every series it plays. For example, in 2006, the Denver Nuggets won 44 games and captured the Northwest Division and the #3 seed. Their opponent was the #6 seed Los Angeles Clippers, who won 47 games and finished second in the Pacific Division. Although Denver won its much weaker division, the Clippers had home-court advantage and won the series in 5.

The playoffs follow a tournament format. Each team plays an opponent in a best-of-seven series, with the first team to win four games advancing into the next round, while the other team is eliminated from the playoffs. In the next round, the successful team plays against another advancing team of the same conference. All but one team in each conference are eliminated from the playoffs. Since the NBA does not re-seed teams, the playoff bracket in each conference uses a traditional design, with the winner of the series matching the 1st and 8th seeded teams playing the winner of the series matching the 4th and 5th seeded teams, and the winner of the series matching the 2nd and 7th seeded teams playing the winner of the series matching the 3rd and 6th seeded teams. In every round except the NBA Finals, the best-of-7 series follows a 2–2–1–1–1 home-court pattern, meaning that one team will have home court in games 1, 2, 5, and 7, while the other plays at home in games 3, 4, and 6. For the NBA Finals, the series follows a 2–3–2 pattern, meaning that one team will have home court in games 1, 2, 6, and 7, while the other plays at home in games 3, 4, and 5. The 2–3–2 pattern has been in place since 1985.

The final playoff round, a best-of-seven series between the victors of both conferences, is known as the NBA Finals, and is held annually in June. The victor in the NBA Finals wins the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy. Each player and major contributor—including coaches and the general manager—on the winning team receive a championship ring. In addition, the league awards the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award to the best performing player of the series.

On August 2, 2006, the NBA announced the new playoff format. The new format takes the three division winners and the second-place team with the best record and rank them 1–4 by record. The other 4 slots are filled by best record other than those other 4 teams.^[38] Previously, the top three seeds went to the division winners.

[edit] International competitions

The National Basketball Association has sporadically participated in international club competitions. From 1987 to 1999 the NBA champions played against the continental champions of the Fédération Internationale de Basketball (FIBA) in the McDonald’s Championship. This tournament was won by the NBA invitee every year it was held. FIBA is organizing a new World Club Championship to begin in 2010, and currently plans to invite the NBA champions starting in 2011.^[39]

Asal Nama Julukan Jokowi

“Jokowi itu pemberian nama dari buyer saya dari Prancis,” begitu kata Wali Kota Solo, Joko Widodo, saat ditanya dari mana muncul nama Jokowi. Kata dia, begitu banyak nama dengan nama depan Joko yang jadi eksportir mebel kayu. Pembeli dari luar bingung untuk membedakan, Joko yang ini apa Joko yang itu. Makanya, dia terus diberi nama khusus, ‘Jokowi’. Panggilan itu kemudian melekat sampai sekarang. Di kartu nama yang dia berikan tertulis, Jokowi, Wali Kota Solo. Belakangan dia mengecek, di Solo yang namanya persis Joko Widodo ada 16 orang.
Saat ini, Jokowi menjabat untuk periode kedua. Kemenangan mutlak diperoleh saat pemilihan wali kota tahun lalu. Nama Jokowi kini tidak hanya populer, tapi kepribadiannya juga disukai masyarakat. Setidaknya, ketika pergi ke pasar-pasar, para pedagang beramai-ramai memanggilnya, atau paling tidak berbisik pada orang sebelahnya, “Eh..itu Pak Joko.”

Deputy mayor is F.X. Hadi Rudyatmo. Jokowi born in Surakarta on June 21, 1961. Jokowi religion is Islam.Biography Jokowi (Joko Widodo)
Jokowi engineer degree from the Faculty of Forestry in 1985. When running for mayor of Solo, many doubted the ability of a man who is a merchant’s house and garden furniture, and even up to the time he was elected. But a year after he led many progressive breakthrough made by him. He took the example of the development of many cities in Europe that often he visits in order to a business trip.Under his leadership, Solo would change rapidly. Branding for the city of Solo performed by approving the motto “Solo: The Spirit of Java”. Does progressive step enough for the size of the cities in Java: it is able to relocate the junk dealer in the Garden Banjarsari almost no turbulence to revitalize the function of open green land, provides qualified investors to want to think about the public interest, conduct regular direct and open communication (broadcast by local television) with the community. Balekambang Park, which displaced since abandoned by its administrators, maketh the park. Jokowi also did not hesitate to dismiss investor who does not agree with the principle of leadership. As a follow-up branding Surakarta he filed to become a member of the Organization of World Heritage Cities and accepted in 2006. The step continues with the success of Surakarta to host the organization’s conference in October 2008. In 2007 Surakarta has also hosted the World Music Festival (FMD) which was held at Fort Vastenburg complex threatened to be evicted the business and shopping center. FMD in 2008 was held in the Palace complex Mangkunegaran.
Thanks to these achievements, Jokowi selected as one of “10 Leaders 2008” by the magazine Tempo.Origin Name Nickname Jokowi
“Jokowi was the name of my buyers from France,” says Mayor of Solo, Joko Widodo, when asked where the name appears Jokowi. He said, so many names with the first name Jim who became exporters of wooden furniture. Buyers from outside the confused to distinguish, that’s what Joko Joko it. So, he keeps a special named, ‘Jokowi’. The call is then attached to the present. In the card he gave a written, Jokowi, Solo Mayor. Later he checked, his name right in Solo Joko Widodo there are 16 people.
Currently, Jokowi served for the second period. Absolute victory obtained at the municipal elections last year. Name Jokowi now not only popular, but his personality is also appreciated by the public. At least, when going to the markets, traders abuzz call, or at least whisper to the next, “Eh .. it was Pak Joko.”
How is it that he can be loved the Solo? Any policy that has made the people happy? Why did he have to step on their employees? Reuters reporters following interview, Pappilanda Ditto, with Jokowi recent travels throughout the half-day in around Solo.What attitude do you bring in running career as a bureaucrat?
In principle, I only work for the people. Just that simple. I think baseball stuff, wong can not get anything. Want judged to be good, please, willing rated well, yes please. My job’s just work. Nah no willingness sorts. Baseball had any target. Work. That’s it.
Right, I do not heroics and exactly what we are doing even everyone can work on. Just, like baseball. Intentions baseball. That’s it. Baseball goes high. Simple as that.
For example, five years ago, we in the district ID card service snafu. ID cards could be two weeks, it could be three weeks of completion. There is no clear time. Depending on who asks, can a week, two weeks could. However, by improving the system, will be able to change anything. Setting up the system, then implementing the system, and if there is a baseball would implement the system, yes, I stepped on.
Originally internal reaction how?
Yes always, resistance year ahead, but after that, well, ordinary. Everything that was normal, so everyone was pleased. Yes, we understand that this cake, it turned out so well be done.
To change the system ID, three headman me off, I dislodged the district. At that time, when the meeting followed by 51 village heads, village heads there are three that seem intent. Nah maybe an hour, sir, at least three days, they said. The next day the old man out of office. If I am, so alone. Meeting five district again, there is one district, hard pack, because they have data entry. Wow this is the same, lah. Yes, it is.
In fact, after they are gone, the system is able to walk. The entire district is now like a bank. There is no longer a gap between the public and employees, is open all. One hour has also been finished. Rupiah to be paid according to regulations, Rp 5,000.
You also had an interesting experience in handling Merchants Street Markets (PKL) who then many a reference?
Iya. Now many of the areas here, like changing the mindset. Oh apparently handling (PKL) be without a fight. It is not easy. Our experience at that time was to move street vendors in the district that has been used as a place Banjarsari selling even a place to stay for more than 20 years. The area was actually the elite, but as a trading place and a place to stay, that look is untidiness.
Five years ago, they invited me to eat here (meeting the mayor’s office). I go to lunch, I invited dinner. I was talking to. Up to 54 times, I go to lunch, dinner, like this. Seven months like this. Finally, they want to move. Baseball goes in-gebukin.Why it took seven months, why not in the first three months?
We see-saw the wind, lah. If you see, the first time I spoke to them here, they are all direct attach banners. Anyway, if removed, would fight to the death, nyiapin bamboo spears. In fact, no one threatened to burn the town hall.
The heat it until the meeting to what?
Still up to the 30th meeting. Meeting new 30-50 we speak. What they need, what they want, what they worry about. First, they asked the nine route public transportation to get to new areas. We give three public transit. The road is narrow, we are broadening.
The difficult part is, they want assurances turnover in the new as in the old. Well, what the mayor told to warrant such. My answer, sustenance above set, but four months later would I advertise on local television, in local newspapers, I put banners all over town. Finally, they want to move.
I prepare their emigration 45 truck, I tunggui two days, they moved on their own. Their emigration from the old place to the new place I relay the palace soldiers. This is baseball no matter where in the world. They brought cone one by one as a symbol of prosperity. That is, emigration happy. Place the old has become a green open space again.
Turnover in the new place?
Could four times. Could be asked to get there, do not ask me. But, yes there are approximately ten times, there are four times. An average of four times. There is a $ 300 million a month. It was not a street vendor again, shaking my head.
What about the other vendors?
After the ex-PKL Banjarsari move, not difficult to convince the others. Simply meeting three to seven times the meeting is over. Until now, we’ve moved 23 points PKL, no problem.
Lha a merchant even bother now relocated street vendors were asking. Those of us who do not have money. Until now, still 38 percent of street vendors who have not been relocated. So, if you still see the street vendors on the street or sidewalk, it was part of the 38 percent earlier.Apparently, the empowerment of market concern you?
Oiya. We’ve been renovating 34 markets and build new markets in seven locations. If managed well, this market brings huge revenue.
Once, when I entered, the income of only $ 7.8 billion market, is now Rp 19.2 billion. Hotel only Rp 10 billion to Rp 5 billion restaurant, parking USD 1.8 billion, $ 4 billion in advertising. The result was only Rp 19.2 billion from Rp 2600 Daily retribution. Merchant a lot, really. This is a must see. Good management of origin, baseball loss we wake up the market. Underserved communities-traders, we can income like that.
Meanwhile, if the mall, I knew baseball, most IMB pay it, we want to pull what? Hence, we limit the mall too. So did we limit the hypermarket. In fact, I also stop minimarket permission. The plan will be used to open 60-80, but was not authorized by me. Now there are only a dozen.
But, it seems Klewer Market untapped yes, conditions are still not comfortable?
Klewer that, whoa. Duitnya big one. Yesterday, investors counted, Rp 400 billion. Money from where? Budget how twenty years, we want to find a moment what has not been met. Solo budget Rp 780 billion to Rp 1.26 trillion this year. We can not afford. Traders in Klewer more, 3000’s traders, the market is also huge. There, the Solo many, many Sukoharjo, Sragen many, Jepara there, there Pekalongan, Tegal there. Batik from everywhere. But, I’m sure there jurusnya, just have not met aja.
Matter of education, in some areas has been done free education, whether at the Solo as well?
We’re different. Here, we are issuing cards to students, there are platinum, gold, and silver. They are the most impoverished obtain a platinum card. They are free of everything from tuition to the needs of the school as well as operational costs. Then, it got all the gold, but not as much as platinum. So is the silver, just paid for local government for specific needs.
It also imposed for health?
Yes, there was a card like that, there are gold and silver. Gold is for those who enter the poorest of the poor. All free, inpatient care, dialysis and even the gold is also for free.Apparently, now the people have confidence in you, but in the beginning was elected, many who doubt?
Well, one year, lah. His name is not yet known, I’m not a piece of mayor, skinny, ugly. I also never appeared in Solo baseball, especially my 100 per cent export business. There is a doubt, yes let alone, till now nothing about baseball. Want doubt, would assess ugly, it’s up to people.
First, what is the intention initially be mayor?
Nah no intention, accident. Ndak know it. First, the first election, we can vote 37 percent, narrowly won. Wong I am not famous, really. The other well-known all right, my baseball. But, it seems people are lazy with famous people. Want to try the famous baseball. Trial and error, so I told the accident was that it was true.
What’s the most memorable for you as mayor?
Most impressive? Most impressively, if first, right, mayor must formalize is the big thing. Inaugurating the biggest mall great example. But, now, gate, post ronda, my everything open, really. Post ronda’m open mayor, the mayor opened the gate, so what about the people who asked, open aja. Yes, sometimes funny too. But we enjoy.
What is the first difficulties you encounter while serving as mayor?
Problems rules. True. We are, if in business, looking as simple as possible, as efficiently as possible. But, we in government can not get, no stage rules. Though budget exist, baseball rules are met, can not get through. Should be, could we kerjain two weeks, had to wait two years. Many of the rules are just handcuff ourselves, too procedural. We are so the procedure.
What consideration when you are running for the second time?
Actually, I want baseball. Want to return to habitat carpenter. At that time, every day coming in droves various groups that pushed me forward again. They say, is the voice of the people. I think, this is nope, what is just political engineering. Two weeks of my leave, my giddy thinking that. I go home, OK I surveyed. My first survey, failure by 87 percent. Can not believe, I survey again, failure by 87 percent.After the survey, I see, there really wishes of the people. So, who came to me was true. And it turned out I was able to almost 91 percent. I see no hope and expectations that are too large. My calculations are 65-70 per cent. Count on paper 65:35, or 60:40, approx.
There is no concern, when it takes office, all you wake up still awake?
First there is the blueprint, no concept plan of the city. At the very least, the new leader of baseball’ll have to use 100 percent, 70 percent seenggaknya. Do not be, has SMP, back to kindergarten. I also have an obligation to prepare and tell what to do later.Biodata Joko Widodo

Biografi Jokowi (Joko Widodo)

Jokowi adalah tokoh pemimpin terpuji Walikota Solo dan berperan memperomosikan Mobil ESEMKA. Ir. Joko Widodo (Jokowi) adalah walikota Kota Surakarta (Solo) untuk dua kali masa bhakti 2005-2015. Wakil walikotanya adalah F.X. Hadi Rudyatmo. Jokowi lahir di Surakarta pada 21 Juni 1961. Agama Jokowi adalah Islam.

Biografi Jokowi (Joko Widodo)

Jokowi meraih gelar insinyur dari Fakultas Kehutanan UGM pada tahun 1985. Ketika mencalonkan diri sebagai walikota Solo, banyak yang meragukan kemampuan pria yang berprofesi sebagai pedagang mebel rumah dan taman ini; bahkan hingga saat ia terpilih. Namun setahun setelah ia memimpin, banyak gebrakan progresif dilakukan olehnya. Ia banyak mengambil contoh pengembangan kota-kota di Eropa yang sering ia kunjungi dalam rangka perjalanan bisnisnya.

Di bawah kepemimpinannya, Solo mengalami perubahan yang pesat. Branding untuk kota Solo dilakukan dengan menyetujui moto “Solo: The Spirit of Java“. Langkah yang dilakukannya cukup progresif untuk ukuran kota-kota di Jawa: ia mampu merelokasi pedagang barang bekas di Taman Banjarsari hampir tanpa gejolak untuk merevitalisasi fungsi lahan hijau terbuka, memberi syarat pada investor untuk mau memikirkan kepentingan publik, melakukan komunikasi langsung rutin dan terbuka (disiarkan oleh televisi lokal) dengan masyarakat. Taman Balekambang, yang terlantar semenjak ditinggalkan oleh pengelolanya, dijadikannya taman. Jokowi juga tak segan menampik investor yang tidak setuju dengan prinsip kepemimpinannya. Sebagai tindak lanjut branding ia mengajukan Surakarta untuk menjadi anggota Organisasi Kota-kota Warisan Dunia dan diterima pada tahun 2006. Langkahnya berlanjut dengan keberhasilan Surakarta menjadi tuan rumah Konferensi organisasi tersebut pada bulan Oktober 2008 ini. Pada tahun 2007 Surakarta juga telah menjadi tuan rumah Festival Musik Dunia (FMD) yang diadakan di kompleks Benteng Vastenburg yang terancam digusur untuk dijadikan pusat bisnis dan perbelanjaan. FMD pada tahun 2008 diselenggarakan di komplek Istana Mangkunegaran.
Berkat prestasi tersebut, Jokowi terpilih menjadi salah satu dari “10 Tokoh 2008″ oleh Majalah Tempo.

Asal Nama Julukan Jokowi

Sikap apa yang Anda bawa dalam menjalankan karier sebagai birokrat?
Secara prinsip, saya hanya bekerja untuk rakyat. Hanya itu, simpel. Saya enggak berpikir macam-macam, wong enggak bisa apa-apa. Mau dinilai tidak baik, silakan, mau dinilai baik, ya silakan. Saya kan tugasnya hanya bekerja. Enggak ada kemauan macam-macam. Enggak punya target apa-apa. Bekerja. Begitu saja.
Bener, saya tidak muluk-muluk dan sebenarnya yang kita jalankan pun semua orang bisa ngerjain. Hanya, mau enggak. Punya niat enggak. Itu saja. Enggak usah tinggi-tinggi. Sederhana sekali.
Contoh, lima tahun yang lalu, pelayanan KTP kita di kecamatan semrawut. KTP bisa dua minggu, bisa tiga minggu selesai. Tidak ada waktu yang jelas. Bergantung pada yang meminta, seminggu bisa, dua minggu bisa. Tapi, dengan memperbaiki sistem, apa pun akan bisa berubah. Menyiapkan sistem, kemudian melaksanakan sistem itu, dan kalau ada yang enggak mau melaksanakan sistem, ya, saya injak.
Awalnya reaksi internal bagaimana?
Ya biasa, resistensi setahun di depan, tapi setelah itu, ya, biasa saja. Semuanya kalau sudah biasa, ya semuanya senang. Ya, kita mengerti itu masalah kue, ternyata ya juga bisa dilakukan.
Untuk mengubah sistem proses KTP itu, tiga lurah saya copot, satu camat saya copot. Saat itu, ketika rapat diikuti 51 lurah, ada tiga lurah yang kelihatan tidak niat. Enggak mungkin satu jam, pak, paling tiga hari, kata mereka. Besoknya lurah itu tidak menjabat. Kalau saya, gitu saja. Rapat lima camat lagi, ada satu camat, sulit pak, karena harus entri data. Wah ini sama, lah. Ya, sudah.
Nyatanya, setelah mereka hilang, sistemnya bisa jalan. Seluruh kecamatan sekarang sudah seperti bank. Tidak ada lagi sekat antara masyarakat dan pegawai, terbuka semua. Satu jam juga sudah jadi. Rupiah yang harus dibayar sesuai perda, Rp 5.000.
Anda juga punya pengalaman menarik dalam penanganan Pedagang Kaki Lima (PKL) yang kemudian banyak menjadi rujukan?
Iya. Sekarang banyak daerah-daerah ke sini, mau mengubah mindset. Oh ternyata penanganan (PKL) bisa tanpa berantem. Memang tidak mudah. Pengalaman kami waktu itu adalah memindahkan PKL di Kecamatan Banjarsari yang sudah dijadikan tempat jualan bahkan juga tempat tinggal selama lebih dari 20 tahun. Kawasan itu sebetulnya kawasan elite, tapi karena menjadi tempat dagang sekaligus tempat tinggal, yang terlihat adalah kekumuhan.
Lima tahun yang lalu, mereka saya undang makan di sini (ruang rapat rumah dinas wali kota). Saya ajak makan siang, saya ajak makan malam. Saya ajak bicara. Sampai 54 kali, saya ajak makan siang, makan malam, seperti ini. Tujuh bulan seperti ini. Akhirnya, mereka mau pindah. Enggak usah di-gebukin.

Mengapa butuh tujuh bulan, mengapa tidak di tiga bulan pertama?
Kita melihat-melihat angin, lah. Kalau Anda lihat, pertama kali mereka saya ajak ke sini, mereka semuanya langsung pasang spanduk. Pokoknya kalau dipindah, akan berjuang sampai titik darah penghabisan, nyiapin bambu runcing. Bahkan, ada yang mengancam membakar balai kota.
Situasi panas itu sampai pertemuan ke berapa?
Masih sampai pertemuan ke-30. Pertemuan 30-50 baru kita berbicara. Mereka butuh apa, mereka ingin apa, mereka khawatir mengenai apa. Dulu, mereka minta sembilan trayek angkot untuk menuju wilayah baru. Kita beri tiga angkutan umum. Jalannya yang sempit, kita perlebar.
Yang sulit itu, mereka meminta jaminan omzet di tempat yang baru sama seperti di tempat yang lama. Wah, bagaimana wali kota disuruh menjamin seperti itu. Jawaban saya, rezeki yang atur di atas, tapi nanti selama empat bulan akan saya iklankan di televisi lokal, di koran lokal, saya pasang spanduk di seluruh penjuru kota. Akhirnya, mereka mau pindah.
Pindahnya mereka saya siapkan 45 truk, saya tunggui dua hari, mereka pindah sendiri-sendiri. Pindahnya mereka dari tempat lama ke tempat baru saya kirab dengan prajurit keraton. Ini yang enggak ada di dunia mana pun. Mereka bawa tumpeng satu per satu sebagai simbol kemakmuran. Artinya, pindahnya senang. Tempat yang lama sudah jadi ruang terbuka hijau kembali.
Omzetnya di tempat yang baru?
Bisa empat kali. Bisa tanya ke sana, jangan tanya saya. Tapi, ya kira-kira ada yang sepuluh kali, ada yang empat kali. Rata-rata empat kali. Ada yang sebulan Rp 300 juta. Itu sudah bukan PKL lagi, geleng-geleng saya.
Bagaimana dengan PKL yang lain?
Setelah yang eks-PKL Banjarsari pindah, tidak sulit meyakinkan yang lain. Cukup pertemuan tiga sampai tujuh kali pertemuan selesai. Sampai saat ini, kita sudah pindahkan 23 titik PKL, tidak ada masalah.
Lha yang repot sekarang ini malah pedagang PKL itu minta direlokasi. Kita yang nggak punya duit. Sampai sekarang ini, masih 38 persen PKL yang belum direlokasi. Jadi, kalau masih melihat PKL di jalan atau trotoar, itu bagian dari 38 persen tadi.

Tampaknya, pemberdayaan pasar menjadi perhatian Anda?
Oiya. Kita sudah merenovasi 34 pasar dan membangun pasar yang baru di tujuh lokasi. Jika dikelola dengan baik, pasar ini mendatangkan pendapatan daerah yang besar.
Dulu, ketika saya masuk, pendapatan dari pasar hanya Rp 7,8 miliar, sekarang Rp 19,2 miliar. Hotel hanya Rp 10 miliar, restoran Rp 5 miliar, parkir Rp 1,8 miliar, advertising Rp 4 miliar. Hasil Rp 19,2 miliar itu hanya dari retribusi harian Rp 2.600. Pedagangnya banyak sekali, kok. Ini yang harus dilihat. Asal manajemennya bagus, enggak rugi kita bangun-bangun pasar. Masyarakat-pedagang terlayani, kita dapat income seperti itu.
Sementara kalau mal, enggak tahu saya, paling bayar IMB saja, kita mau tarik apa? Makanya, mal juga kita batasi. Begitu juga hypermarket kita batasi. Bahkan, minimarket juga saya stop izinnya. Rencananya dulu akan ada 60-80 yang buka, tapi tidak saya izinkan. Sekarang hanya ada belasan.
Tapi, sepertinya Pasar Klewer belum tersentuh ya, kondisinya masih kurang nyaman?
Klewer itu, waduh. Duitnya gede sekali. Kemarin, dihitung investor, Rp 400 miliar. Duit dari mana? Anggaran berapa puluh tahun, kita mau cari jurus apa belum ketemu. Anggaran belanja Solo Rp 780 miliar, tahun ini Rp 1,26 triliun. Tidak mampu kita. Pedagang di Klewer lebih banyak, 3.000-an pedagang, pasarnya juga besar sekali. Di situ, yang Solo banyak, Sukoharjo banyak, Sragen banyak, Jepara ada, Pekalongan ada, Tegal ada. Batik dari mana-mana. Tapi, saya yakin ada jurusnya, hanya belum ketemu aja.
Soal pendidikan, di beberapa daerah sudah banyak dilakukan pendidikan gratis, apakah di Solo juga begitu?
Kita beda. Di sini, kita menerbitkan kartu untuk siswa, ada platinum, gold, dan silver. Mereka yang paling miskin itu memperoleh kartu platinum. Mereka ini gratis semuanya, mulai dari uang pangkal sampai kebutuhan sekolah dan juga biaya operasional. Kemudian, yang gold itu mendapat fasilitas, tapi tak sebanyak platinum. Begitu juga yang silver, hanya dibayari pemkot untuk kebutuhan tertentu.
Itu juga yang diberlakukan untuk kesehatan?
Iya, ada kartu seperti itu, ada gold dan silver. Gold ini untuk mereka yang masuk golongan sangat miskin. Semua gratis, perawatan rawat inap, bahkan cuci darah pun untuk yang gold ini gratis.

Tampaknya, sekarang masyarakat sudah percaya pada Anda, padahal di awal terpilih, banyak yang sangsi?
Yah, satu tahun, lah. Namanya belum dikenal, saya kan bukan potongan wali kota, kurus, jelek. Saya juga enggak pernah muncul di Solo, apalagi bisnis saya 100 persen ekspor. Ada yang sangsi, ya biar saja, sampai sekarang enggak apa-apa. Mau sangsi, mau menilai jelek, terserah orang.
Dulu, apa niat awalnya jadi wali kota?
Enggak ada niat, kecelakaan. Ndak tahu itu. Dulu, pilkada pertama, kita dapat suara 37 persen, menang tipis. Wong saya bukan orang terkenal, kok. Yang lain terkenal semuanya kan, saya enggak. Tapi, kelihatannya masyarakat sudah malas dengan orang terkenal. Mau coba yang enggak terkenal. Coba-coba, jadi saya bilang kecelakaan tadi itu memang betul.
Hal apa yang paling mengesankan selama Anda menjadi wali kota?
Paling mengesankan? Paling mengesankan itu, kalau dulu, kan, wali kota mesti meresmikan hal yang gede-gede. Meresmikan mal terbesar besar misalnya. Tapi, sekarang, gapura, pos ronda, semuanya saya yang buka, kok. Pos ronda minta dibuka wali kota, gapura dibuka wali kota, ya gimana rakyat yang minta, buka aja. Ya, kadang-kadang lucu juga. Tapi kita nikmati.
Apa kesulitan yang paling pertama Anda temui saat menjabat sebagai wali kota?
Masalah aturan. Betul. Kita, kalau di usaha, mencari yang se-simpel mungkin, seefisien mungkin. Tapi, kita di pemerintahan enggak bisa, ada tahapan aturan. Meskipun anggaran ada, aturannya enggak terpenuhi, enggak bisa jalani. Harusnya, bisa kita kerjain dua minggu, harus menunggu dua tahun. Banyak aturan-aturan yang justru membelenggu kita sendiri, terlalu prosedural. Kita ini jadi negara prosedur.
Apa pertimbangannya saat Anda mencalonkan untuk kali kedua?
Sebetulnya, saya enggak mau. Mau balik lagi ke habitat tukang kayu. Saat itu, setiap hari datang berbondong-bondong berbagai kelompok yang mendorong saya maju lagi. Mereka katakan, ini suara rakyat. Saya berpikir, ini benar ndak, apa hanya rekayasa politik. Dua minggu saya cuti, pusing saya mikir itu. Saya pulang, okelah saya survei saja. Saya survei pertama, dapatnya 87 persen. Enggak percaya, saya survei lagi, dapatnya 87 persen lagi.

Setelah survei itu, saya melihat, benar-benar ada keinginan masyarakat. Jadi, yang datang ke saya itu benar. Dan ternyata memang saya dapat hampir 91 persen. Saya lihat ada harapan dan ekspektasi yang terlalu besar. Perhitungan saya 65-70 persen. Hitungan di atas kertas 65:35, atau 60:40, kira-kira.
Ada kekhwatiran tidak, ketika lepas jabatan, semua yang Anda bangun tetap terjaga?
Pertama ada blueprint, ada concept plan kota. Paling tidak, pemimpin baru nanti enggak usah pakai 100 persen, seenggaknya 70 persen. Jangan sampai, sudah SMP, kembali lagi ke TK. Saya punya kewajiban juga untuk menyiapkan dan memberi tahu apa yang harus dilakukan nantinya.

Yesterday I saw that happen to kick Andi showing a prominent East Belitung and former regent period 2005-2010. Seeing a passionate zeal to eradicate corruption and to serve the community, figure this one deserves appreciation from the public. More on Tjahaja Basuki Purnama are often addressed Ahok, see the following article which I quote from wikipedia:

Ir. Tjahaja Basuki Purnama, M.M. ‘ (Born in Manggar, East Pacific Islands, June 29, 1966, age 45 years) was the Regent of the East Pacific Islands 2005-2010. He is the first ethnic Chinese who became Regent of East Belitung. Ahok, as he is usually called, is known to have a strong desire and concern for the welfare of the people. People in the province of Bangka-Belitung greet the first son of Alm. Indra Tjahaja Purnama (Zhong Kim Nam) and Buniarti Ningsing (Nen Bun Caw) by calling “Koh Ahok”.

The spirit of nationalism Indonesian citizens of Chinese descent (Hakka accent / Kejia) is to grow as a family upbringing that instilled since childhood. Closest friends called him “double minority”. Much time is largely focused on defending the interests of the people. Protestant man who has a Chinese name, Wan Zhong Xie has a wife named Veronica ST (born in Medan, North Sumatra, 6 September 1977) and blessed with 3 sons and daughters named Nicholas (1998), Nathania (2001) and David Albeenner (2006).

More Ahok childhood was spent in the village of Hanging, Hanging District, one of the districts in East Belitung with both parents and three siblings, to finish completing junior secondary school education. After graduating from junior high school, Ahok continue school in Jakarta. Nevertheless, Ahok always appropriate holiday message to my hometown of his late father,

This advice was followed by Ahok and sisters Dr. Basuri T Purnama (PNS physicians in the District of East Belitung), Fifi SH Lety. LLM (legal practitioners), Harry Basuki MBA (practitioner and consultant in tourism and hospitality). Therefore, after completing their studies back home to serve and work in his hometown.

Lots of funny and sad stories attached dibenaknya up until now will never forget, when I was in junior school. Especially during school hours Islam all students must follow, there is no exception for a non-Muslim.

The order of the teacher was followed by a visit to a landfill (which incidentally is a mosque) is not far from where she lived in one afternoon. But what he gets is not a science, but an insult of a landfill teacher at the time, who call themselves pagans. “You infidels not (not) allowed to get in here (mosque). This is only for Muslims “. He was expelled and not allowed to learn to read and write the Koran.

He left with sadness for not being able to follow the lessons in the landfill. Religious teachers in the school and released him from learning to read and write the Koran.

The company is engaged in the field of power plant construction contractor. He served as staff directors for cost analysis and project finance. Due to the concentration of employment in the Pacific Islands, in 1995 Ahok decided to quit work and return to his hometown.

Bird Bath Factory Hamlet, Village mengkubang, District Manggar, East Belitung is expected to be a pilot project for the welfare of (shareholders, employees, and people) and to contribute to the East Pacific Islands Revenue leveraging mineral resources are limited. On the other hand believed PT. Nurindra Ekapersada memikili vision to produce a formidable human resources.

Masa Tenang, Ahok Nonton Spiderman Bareng Keluarga

Posted by sak on July 9, 2012 0 Comment

Ahok.Org – Masa tenang kampanye digunakan banyak kandidat calon Gubernur dan Wakil Gubernur Jakarta dengan berbagai macam cara. Basuki Tjahaja Purnama atau Ahok misalnya, yang memilih waktu menonton bareng keluarganya film The Amazing Spider-Man di salah satu mall di bilangan Jakarta Selatan, Minggu (8/7/2012).

Saat ditemui Tribun Jakarta, pasangan Joko Widodo itu tetap setia mengenakan kemeja kotak-kotak. Ia datang menonton mengajak isteri dan dua anaknya, Veronica dan Nathania, dan Daud Albeenner. Sementara putera sulungnya, Nicholas menghabiskan waktu berlibur di Belitung.

“Dengan masa tenang ini, saya kembali ke kehidupan sehari-hari. Anak-anak meminta menonton. Dan mereka menghabiskan waktu dari gereja dengan memonton. Ini sudah menjadi rutinitas kita. Dengan waktu sekarang, anak-anak sebetulnya lebih happy kita menjadi orang biasa seperti sekarang,” ujar Ahok.

Terkait baju kotak-kotak yang dipakainya, menurut Ahok bukan lah baju kampanye. Kebetulan broadcast message para relawan, ada usulan pergi ke mall mengenakan kemeja kotak-kotak.

“Ini sudah menjadi komitmen saya dengan Pak Jokowi memakai baju kotak-kotak sampai selesai pemilihan,” terangnya.

Veronica menambahkan, suaminya kala menghabiskan waktu bersama keluarga di luar rumah lebih banyak menonton film. Kebetulan anak sulung lebih suka menonton film action. Sehingga adik-adiknya ikutan suka menonton. Kalaupun ke luar kota, anak-anak Ahok menghabiskan waktu pulang ke kampung halaman di Belitung.

Kashmir Illustrations, 1854

Illustrations from ‘Church Missionary Intelligencer’ (1854), a book that among other things has an account of a bunch of Christian missionaries in Kashmir getting chased around by Muslim mobs and getting asked ‘trick’ questions by a Pandit.

Baramulla on the Jailum, Kashmir

The geography of this place has been messing with my mind. Previously, I believed that the hillock in the background was misplaced, a figment of western imagination that mixed up Srinagar and Baramulla. It turns out that the composition of illustration is in all probability correct. The doubt created my native imagination. This is Sumbul Bridge in Baramulla ( and the hillock is probably Aha Teng ?)

Bridge at Srinagur

Shah Hamadan

1908

a nice mourning cover (Mourning covers were black-edged envelopes used to send bereavement notices.)

It has several points of interest:

– It was sent from

Jammu

Jammu is located in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which is in the country of India.According to the latest stats, Jammu has a population of 465,600. It is located in the Asia/Calcutta timezone.

Here are some photographs from this beautiful city:

Srinagar

Srinagar in Jammu & Kashmir State in India, a few years after the Jammu & Kashmir State Post Office closed.

– It was sent to the wife of

Sir Francis Younghusband, who led the 1904 British Expedition to Tibet

– The cover was sent during Winter in Kashmir, when the State administration normally moved down from Srinagar, which could be cut off by snow, to Jammu.

Why did Lady Younghusband remain in Srinagar?

– The distance between Jammu and Srinagar is about 160 km – as the crow flies.

The runners carrying this letter took 3 days to cover the distance, having to make a wide detour to the West to reach Srinagar because the passes would have been blocked by snow.

Sad to say, the Edward VII Indian Half Anna stamp is effectively worthless.

Retired doctor’s family to meet Dalai Lama

Retired doctor’s family to meet

Dalai Lama

In 1903,

fearful that the Chinese were on the verge of granting Tibet to Russia and endangering their Raj in India, the British sent a military expedition into Tibet to prevent the rumor from becoming a reality.

The commander of the expedition, Sir Francis Younghusband, brought along British civil servant and photographer John Claude White to document the campaign.

White took a series of seventy photographs which were collected in an album c. 1905.

Amongst the platinum prints and two folding panoramas is

this striking image of Tibetan nuns.

Considering that Buddhist nuns are required to keep their hair cropped short it is unclear why this group allowed their hair to grow to such impious length. As recently as 2002, the Chinese were imprisoning Tibetan nuns and forcing them to let their hair grow out, the least offensive of their many humiliating punishments.

The Tibetans were none too happy with the British incursion, the Chinese even less so, and the British were none too kind to the Tibetans.

Brigadier-General James Ronald Leslie Macdonald,

leading a military force of over 3,000, including Nepalese Gurkhas, faced off against 3,000 Tibetan troops armed with muskets at

the Battle of Guru, and a very short battle it was.

After negotiations to head things off failed, confusion ensued and the shooting began. The British, armed with Maxim machine guns, mowed down between 600-700 Tibetan troops.

The rest were allowed to peacefully retreat. Younghusband, who now assumed command of the British army, marched into Lhasa and negotiated a treaty with the Regent, who declared, “When one has known the scorpion [China] the frog [Britain] is divine.”

The British military mission ended in 1904, unpopular at home and everywhere else.

This album was recently at Bonhams for auction. It sold for £38,400 ($61,592), inclusive of buyer’s premium.

An album of important images taken by John Claude White during Sir Francis Younghusband’s Tibet Mission of 1903-1904. 70 platinum prints and 2 folding panoramas, images approximately 160 x 210mm., captioned on the mounts, contemporary half green morocco, lettered ‘TIBET’ on the upper cover, sailcloth chemise, oblong folio, [c.1905]

John Claude White – Tibet And Lhasa

Description:

Back to catalogue Place Bid or Track Lot Lot No: 528 � WHITE (JOHN CLAUDE) Tibet and Lhasa, 53 photogravure plates, including a folding map, autograph letter signed (“John White”) and postmarked envelope from Lhasa pasted down to verso of upper cover, occasional light soiling, contemporary red cloth gilt, spine sunned, oblong 4to (200 x 265mm.), Johnston and Hoffman, [1908] Estimate: �7,000 – 9,000, � 7,900 – 10,000 Request Condition Report Footnote: A RARE SERIES OF IMAGES FROM YOUNGHUSBAND’S TIBET MISSION OF 1903-1904. Johnston and Hoffman’s promotional catalogue of 1905 mentions that the images were initially issued individually or in albums, as half-tone or carbon prints. They were later issued in a two volume set with letterpress descriptions by C.B. Bayley, dated 1907-08. These were almost immediately withdrawn from circulation for fear that the information contained would reveal classified details to the Chinese. Consequently, very few copies remain and are exceptionally rare. Hardly less rare is the volume offered here was published a few months later. For example, there is no copy of this edition in the British Library. When the 1903 expediton was formed White had already been in Sikkim for at least fifteen years. Together with the thrusting Younghusband, and supported by two hundred Indian troops, under the military command of General Macdonald, the expedition was to force the Tibetans to trade with British India, and to investigate concerns that Russia was gaining influence in Lhasa. Although Kurt and Pamela Meyer state in In the Shadow of the Himalayas: A Photographic Record of John Claude White 1883-1908 , that “[White’s] incomparable photographs have thus turned out to be the only lasting legacy of the ill-fated adventure of the Imperial Raj into Tibet”, the expedition succeeded, and was followed by many years of Anglo-Tibetan friendship and trade. White’s fascinating letter, on Tibet Frontier Commission headed paper, is dated 6.8.04 and addressed from Lhasa to R.H. Morton at a tea estate in Jalpaiguri, West Bengal.

John Claude White – The Mission Post At Gyantze

Description:

TIBET WHITE (JOHN CLAUDE) ‘The Mission Post at Gyantze’, carbon print on Whatman paper, with printed text leaf giving title and description, image 235 x 285mm., 1904, published 1906 John Claude White was an amateur photographer, who accompanied Younghusband on his mission to Tibet in 1903-4, having previously served in the Indian Public Works Department from 1876. While on the mission, White took a series of mainly landscape views. Some of these were issued in two photogravure volumes by Johnston and Hoffman of Calcutta in 1906. However, they were soon withdrawn due to the politically sensitive nature of the text and are now very scarce. Through extant Johnston and Hoffman adverts we know that single prints on ‘print-out paper’ were availabe at 2 ruppees each, whereas platinum prints were available at 3 ruppees each. The carbon prints offered here come from “edition de luxe”, which contained one hundred carbon prints made from the original negatives onto plate-sunk Whatman mounts, bound in two albums with soft-padded morocco covers for 300 ruppees. There are only four or five of these deluxe editions extant, and individual carbon prints are extremely rarely found. The accompanying caption reads: “The Mission Post at Gyantze. This is where the Mission sustained what may almost be called a state of siege for several months. They were under constant fire from the Jong, and on the occasion of the first fight at Karola, when many of the garrison were away with that force, a large body of the enemy attempted to rush the Mission Post, and one man actually got over the wall.”

John Claude White – Tibet

Description:

John Claude White ‘tibet’. an album of seventy-six photographs of tibet and lhasa, and a rare further series of studies including panoramas by an unidentified hand, circa 1900 and 1904 comprising seventy-five mounted studies, including one four-part panorama of Lhasa, Platinum Prints, one mounted three-part panorama of the Tsang Po Valley, Silver Prints, twenty-three mounted studies documenting the progress of the Younghusband Expedition and twelve loose studies including one three-part and one two-part panorama, Printing-out-Paper Prints (the majority in a panoramic format), the platinum prints approx. 133 by 203mm or the reverse, the panoramic prints approx. 63 by 185mm, the other printing-out-paper prints from 53 by 176mm to 143 by 208mm, the platinum prints and panorama of Tsang Po Valley titled in ink on album page, the majority of mounted panoramic prints numbered in pencil on album page, the majority of loose prints numbered in pencil on the reverse, full green leather, green cloth boards gilt-titled ‘Tibet’, oblong 4to In 1903 John Claude White, a political officer in Sikkim, was asked to join as Joint-Commissioner the ‘Tibet Frontier Commission’ under the command of Francis (later Sir Francis) Younghusband. They were joined by Captain Frederick O’Conner, who acted as interpreter, and an escort of two hundred Indian troops under the command of Brigadier-General J.R.L. Macdonald. The British officers’ secret and politically sensitive mission was to negotiate in favour of British interests in Asia in the face of the rumours that the Chinese were about to hand over Tibet to the Russians. White photographed extensively in the border regions of Tibet during his twenty years as political officer in Sikkim. However by far his most highly prized works are these, one of the earliest and most extensive photographic records of the interior and peoples of Tibet. In 1905 Messrs. Johnston & Hoffmann of Calcutta issued a promotional catalogue of the photographs taken by White. The photographs were available individually as platinum or printing-out-paper prints, in a single album of eighty prints printed in half-tone or a luxury edition of one hundred carbon prints. Johnston & Hoffmann later published the photographs as a two volume album, with letterpress descriptions by C.B. Baylay, dated 1907-8, and a smaller format one volume album of photogravures was issued in the following year. Copies of the 1907-8 publication are extremely rare (only a handful copies are known). Even rarer are albums such as this with ink manuscript titles. This album, which belonged to Lt. Col. James Arthur Prendergast Manson, officer in charge of supply and transport on the Younghusband expedition, is mounted with seventy-eight photographs by White, the titles of which appear in the Johnston & Hoffmann catalogue. Significantly, it also contains thirty-five additional mounted and loose photographs, the majority in panoramic format. More informal than the platinum prints, the photographs (which may be by White or another member of the expedition) provide a rare and fascinating record of the progress of the British officers and their Indian troops.

EDINBURGH, Scotland, 12 June 2012

The sound they make is said to be an eerie, haunting kind of wail, the kind of bone-chilling howl that some might suggest is enough to wake the dead.

Perhaps that is not entirely surprising, given that the bizarre whistle, or kangling, is made from the thigh bone of a long-dead Tibetan monk.

Retrieved from a battleground, bound with carefully plaited leather, adorned with human skin and silver thread, the curious instrument was brought to Edinburgh more than 100 years ago, a keepsake from a time which, with hindsight, was hardly Britain’s finest hour.

Now, as the visit to Scotland by Tibet’s spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, approaches, it is to be finally returned home.

The foot-long bone whistle was among a collection of souvenirs from the roof of the world gathered by Edinburgh-born Colonel Bruce Turnbull of the 23rd Sikh Pioneers Regiment.

He was involved when the regiment took part in the infamous Sir Francis Younghusband expedition to Tibet in 1903-4, a venture into what was then a closed and deeply private nation where outsiders rarely ventured, which would end in violence, mayhem and bloodshed.

The religious artefact — along with a collection of other Tibetan objects — was eventually brought to Edinburgh and later ended up with a family member in London.

But now Col Turnbull’s grandson, Dr Michael Turnbull, has decided the Dalai Lama’s visit to Edinburgh later this month means the time has come to return it into Tibetan possession.

“It is an act of reconciliation,” says Dr Turnbull, 71, of Longniddry. “I think my grandfather probably did not understand quite what he was doing. It was a long time ago.

“Certainly, this is an item that has no real place in my home. It is time for it to go back to its own home.”

It was late March 1904 when his grandfather, the Merchiston Castle-educated son of a Scot who had gone on to become major surgeon general in Bombay, India, found himself at the heart of what has been called “one of the most shameful acts of British history.”

A formidable army, led by Colonel Sir Francis Edward Younghusband, had been formed to march on the closed country of Tibet, on the shaky premise that the Russians planned to expand their empire into that strategic part of Asia.

Around 3000 troops from the 23rd Sikh Pioneers Regiment, armed with machine-guns and accompanied by a further 7000 camp followers, poured into the Himalayan country to be met by locals, rich in religious spirit but armed with a rusty collection of 18th century flintlock rifles.

Who shot first is one of history’s great mysteries. Regardless, the result was bloodshed and carnage.

Some 700 lightly-armed Tibetan monks were killed in the village of Guru alone.

Overall, around 3000 Tibetans — some reports suggest 5000 — were slaughtered by Younghusband’s forces in an action sanctioned during what became known as the Great Game — the desperate race for influence in central Asia, at the heart of which sat the tiny mountainous nation.

By contrast, it’s said the British casualties amounted to five.

The hope had been to force the tiny country bordering colonial India to engage in trade and diplomacy with the British Empire, keeping any aspirations of the Russian Tsar firmly in check.

While it may have brought Tibet to its knees, the strategy was effective. In the capital, Lhasa, in August 1904, a treaty was signed effectively turning Tibet into a British protectorate.

Yet the British claims that the action had simply been intended to settle disputes over the Sikkim-Tibet border were derided by others as an invasion of Tibet.

Col Turnbull was, says his grandson, a young officer at the time without, of course, the benefits of hindsight.

“He was nominated for the Victoria Cross,” he adds. “There are illustrations in a magazine which show him dragging a wounded comrade to safety. So while it wasn’t perhaps the finest moment in British history, it wasn’t completely one-way traffic.”

Dr Turnbull, who was looked after by Col Turnbull and his wife, Jessie, after his mother died in a car accident when he was a child, has only vague recollections of his grandfather. “He died in 1952, I hardly knew him. But I do remember him as a stern and distant figure. At one point, he became deputy lord provost for Edinburgh Town Council.

“He adopted me, so to speak. I remember them taking me to St Peter’s Church for mass, even though they weren’t Catholic, but they respected the promise my father had given to my mother to raise me that way. I went on to do my PhD at New College, so they couldn’t have been too bad.”

Other items from Col Turnbull’s Tibetan collection had already been given to the National Museum by the family, including a striking three-feet -high, 17th century silver goddess and dozens of photographic slides taken during the expedition.

But the whistle — which is regarded by Tibetans to have special and magical qualities — had been kept at a London-based relative’s home.

He made the offer to return the relic to Tibet through the Edinburgh Inter-Faith Association which has helped organise the Dalai Lama’s three-day tour.

He has been granted an early morning audience with the spiritual leader on June 22, during which he will return the item.

Traditionally, a kangling is made from a hollowed-out thigh bone. Holes are made in the knee area to create a kind of trumpet while a mouthpiece is created at the other end.

Beeswax is often poured in to keep it dry and free from micro-organisms.

A kangling is used in various Himalayan Buddhist rituals.

“It might sound quite gruesome to have an instrument made from bone, but it’s not really,” said Dr Turnbull.

“To play this flute would have been a sacred thing to do. It is a precious church object and I’m very pleased that it is finally going home.”

A practical, though lethal, gift for the Dalai Lama

Excerpt from Chapter 17 of The Horse That Leaps Through Clouds published in the Ottawa Citizen.

“The Chinese authorities seem to guard the Dalai Lama closely,” Baron Gustaf Mannerheim wrote in his diary in July 1908. The Russian colonel, who was on a secret intelligence-gathering mission in China, had just arrived at Wutai Shan, the most sacred of four Buddhist mountains in China. One of its mountaintop temples was, he wrote, “the present abode, not to say prison, of the Buddhists’ pope, the Dalai Lama.”

A Chinese army captain named Wang told Mannerheim that “a cordon of soldiers” guarded the approaches to Wutai Shan in northeast Shanxi province. In the event of an attempt to escape, Wang explained, the Dalai Lama “would be stopped, by armed force if necessary.” But in his wanderings around Wutai Shan, Mannerheim saw no such cordon. “I could not help noticing, however, that [Wang] watched my movements with the greatest interest.”

Wang urged Mannerheim to take him as his interpreter during his audience with the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. But a Tibetan prince had already secretly informed Mannerheim that Wang was not welcome. The Tibetans despised Wang, whom they considered a spy, and prohibited him and his troops from the inner precincts of the temple.

Wutai Shan was more podium than prison for the Dalai Lama. Upon arriving here in the spring of 1908, His Holiness sent messages to the Peking Legations inviting envoys to visit. William Woodville Rockhill, the American ambassador to China, was the first. He pulled on his walking boots and set out for Wutai Shan on foot, a five-day trek from Peking. Rockhill was a scholar and diplomat who had explored Inner Asia in the 1890s and spoke Tibetan. He had left Wutai Shan only a day before Mannerheim’s arrival.

“The Talé Lama seems to me a man of undoubted intelligence, open-minded… a very agreeable, kindly, thoughtful host, and a personage of great dignity,” Rockhill reported back to President Theodore Roosevelt. The Dalai Lama told Rockhill about his struggles against the Chinese and how his country’s remoteness meant Tibet had “no friends abroad.” Rockhill assured His Holiness that he was mistaken: Tibet had many foreign well-wishers who hoped to see Tibetans “prosper and happy.” Later, during the Dalai Lama’s visit to Peking, Rockhill became a confidant to the Tibetan leader, quietly pushing a rapprochement with the Chinese.

In the summer of 1908, the Dalai Lama received a parade of envoys: a German doctor from the Peking Legation; an English explorer named Christopher Irving; R.F. Johnson, a British diplomat from the Colonial Service; and Henri D’Ollone, a French army major and viscount. The Dalai Lama hoped to patch up his relations with Britain after its invasion of Lhasa in 1904 and bolster his international standing. These first audiences with the mysterious Buddhist pontiff were much anticipated.

On his second day in Wutai Shan, a messenger ran into Mannerheim’s room in the Tayuan Temple and gestured that the Dalai Lama was ready to receive him. Mannerheim duly prepared himself. While he was shaving and changing his clothes, another frantic messenger arrived to express the Dalai Lama’s impatience. “I was just as impatient,” he wrote, “but could not possibly dress any faster.” A few minutes later, an anxious Tibetan prince appeared to ask what Mannerheim meant by keeping His Holiness waiting. At a swift pace, the Baron and prince climbed the steep staircase to Pusading Temple.

Wang, in full dress uniform, was waiting at the top with a Chinese honour guard. The Chinese had reason to worry about Mannerheim’s visit. Chinese authorities had just arrested two Russian military officers who were inciting the Mongols to break from China and become a Russian protectorate. During his stay in Urga (now Ulan Baatar), the Dalai Lama sent messages to the Tsar through various envoys. His Holiness told one Russian military intelligence officer that both Tibet and Mongolia should “irrevocably secede from China to form an independent allied state, accomplishing this operation with Russia’s patronage and support, avoiding bloodshed.” If Russia wouldn’t help, the Dalai Lama insisted, he would even ask Britain—his former foe—for help. After his visit with the Dalai Lama, Mannerheim, in fact, trekked to Inner Mongolia to gauge the rebellious mood of the Mongols.

Wang could barely hide his wrath when Mannerheim told him that he could not attend his audience with the Tibetan pontiff. The Chinese captain argued with two of the Dalai Lama’s assistants. As the Baron slipped into a small reception hall, he caught sight of Wang “making vain efforts to force his way in behind me.”

The Dalai Lama sat on a gilded armchair placed on a dais along the back wall of the small room. Two old Tibetans, unarmed, with beards and hair speckled with grey stood behind him. The Dalai Lama was frocked in “imperial yellow with light-blue linings” and a “traditional red toga.” The thirty-three-year-old pontiff had a dark brown face, shaved head, moustache and a tuft of hair under his lower lip. His eyes were large and his teeth gleamed. Mannerheim noticed “slight hollows in the skin of his face, which are supposed to be pockmarks.” He appeared a bit nervous, “which he seems anxious to hide.” Otherwise, Mannerheim thought he was “a lively man in full possession of his mental and physical faculties.”

Mannerheim made a “profound bow,” which the Dalai Lama acknowledged with a slight nod. They exchanged silk scarves. His Holiness began with small talk, asking Mannerheim about his nationality, age and journey. The Dalai Lama then paused and, twitching nervously, asked if the Tsar had sent a secret message for him. “He awaited the translation of my reply with obvious interest,” wrote Mannerheim, who informed him that he hadn’t the opportunity to personally speak with Tsar Nicholas II before his departure. The Dalai Lama then gestured, and a beautiful piece of white silk with Tibetan letters was brought out. It was a gift that Mannerheim was to deliver personally to Nicholas II.

The Dalai Lama told Mannerheim he had been enjoying his journeys in Mongolia and China, but “his heart was in Tibet.” Many Tibetans were urging him to return. His officials claimed up to twenty thousand pilgrims visited the Dalai Lama each month, but Mannerheim thought it was “an undoubted exaggeration.” The Tibetan pontiff was in the midst of a showdown with Empress Dowager Cixi, who wanted him to come to Peking to perform the kowtow. The Dalai Lama, Mannerheim wrote, “does not look like a man resigned to play the part the Chinese Government wishes him to, but rather like one who is only waiting for an opportunity of confusing his adversary.” The wily Tibetan pontiff had postponed his journey so many times that a joke was circulating in Peking referring to him as the “Delay Lama.”

Mannerheim spoke encouragingly about Russia’s sympathies for Tibet’s struggles against the Chinese. Russia’s troubles were over, the Baron assured him, and “the Russian Army was stronger than ever.” Now, all Russians watched His Holiness’s footsteps with great interest, he added. The Dalai Lama, Mannerheim recalled, “listened to my polite speeches with unconcealed satisfaction.”

Twice the Dalai Lama ordered his bodyguards to check if Wang was eavesdropping on their conversation. It was a dangerous time for the Dalai Lama, who knew his life may be in danger if he returned to Lhasa. The Chinese were tightening their grip on Tibet. Lamas were being assassinated, monasteries plundered and Tibetans evicted from their nomadic pastures. Peking needed the Dalai Lama to be a compliant vassal who could calm his restless followers and ease Tibet’s incorporation into the Chinese Empire.

But the Dalai Lama proved defiant. He visited Peking that September and immediately fell out with the Imperial Court, which issued a decree demoting him to “a loyal and submissive Vicegerent bound by the laws of the sovereign state.” A prominent Imperial censor also openly denounced him as “a proud and ignorant man.” Rumours spread in Tibet that he had been assassinated. Outraged at various reforms, lamas threatened a “holy war” against the Chinese. By the end of 1908, a rebellion broke out, leading to the defeat of Chinese troops. The Dalai Lama eventually returned to Lhasa in 1909 and sent telegrams to Britain and all European countries attacking Peking’s claim over Tibet.

In February 1910, Chinese troops invaded Lhasa. The Dalai Lama fled to India. An Imperial decree denounced His Holiness as “an ungrateful, irreligious obstreperous profligate who is tyrannical and so unacceptable to the Tibetans, and accordingly an unsuitable leader of Lamas.” After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, His Holiness returned to Tibet in 1913, declaring the country independent. He died in 1933, leaving a prophetic last testament for the next Dalai Lama:

We must guard ourselves against the barbaric red communists… the worst of the worst. It will not be long before we find the red onslaught at our own front door… and when it happens we must be ready to defend ourselves. Otherwise our spiritual and cultural traditions will be completely eradicated… and the days and nights will pass slowly and with great suffering and terror.

Recognizing the clear and present danger, Mannerheim offered the Dalai Lama an unusual, though practical, gift: a Browning revolver. The Baron apologized that he didn’t have a better offering, but explained that after two years’ journey he had no other items of value. The Dalai Lama laughed, “showing all his teeth,” as Mannerheim showed His Holiness how to quickly reload seven cartridges into the revolver. The Dalai Lama relished the demonstration. “The times were such,” Mannerheim wrote, “that a revolver might at times be of greater use, even to a holy man like himself, than a praying mill.”

1802: Jonathan D. Lewis Dr John Vaughan

Pulau Trinidad di lepas pantai Venezuela

Surat ini ditulis oleh Jonathan D. Lewis, kepada adiknya mertua, Dr John Vaughan (1775-1807), yang dikreditkan dengan melakukan vaksinasi pertama di Delaware pada tahun 1802.

John Vaughan dididik di Chester, Pennsylvania, dan di tahun 1793 dan 1794, sementara belajar untuk menjadi seorang dokter, menghadiri kuliah di kedokteran di University of Pennsylvania di Philadelphia. Vaughan berlatih kedokteran di Delaware, pertama di Bridge Christiana dan kemudian di Wilmington.

Ia adalah anggota dari organisasi profesi, termasuk Akademi Philadelphia of Medicine, Medical Society of Philadelphia, Amerika Medical Association, dan Kedokteran Delaware dan masyarakat filosofis. Vaughan adalah seorang penulis produktif, pinjaman pena untuk topik penting medis dan ilmiah.

Dia terus nya “Diary Medis No 3” sebelum dan selama wabah demam kuning serius dari 1802. Vaughan meninggal pada tahun 1807 dari demam tifoid.
Vaughan adalah seorang pengamat tekun kondisi iklim Wilmington, sering mencantumkan suhu harian, arah angin, dan cuaca.

Dia percaya bahwa kondisi ini mempengaruhi terjadinya penyakit pada waktu tertentu dalam setahun. Dengan demikian, pada satu kelompok halaman Vaughan mencatat informasi cuaca untuk bulan tertentu, dan pada kelompok lain ia mencatat apa yang pasiennya menderita selama periode yang sama.

Kadang-kadang, Vaughan pecah untuk menyalin pola ini sebuah artikel yang ia baca, sesuatu yang ia dengar, atau surat bahwa ia telah baik tertulis atau diterima tentang masalah medis. Salah satu koresponden nya adalah Dr Benjamin Rush.

Seorang pria ilmu pengetahuan dan kedokteran, Vaughan menulis mungkin dalam hiburan untuk mendukung teorinya tentang pengaruh cuaca pada penyakit: “Pak Alrichs, seorang pembuat jam tangan cerdik, memberitahu saya bahwa musim sakit-sakitan selalu ditandai dengan pecahnya menonton springs – bahwa fakta begitu mapan untuk menjadi pepatah & itu secara khusus sehingga musim ini “Pada tanggal 26 Agustus,, 1800 Vaughan. mengatakan: “Bad account dari Baltimore & Norfolk – demam kuning menyebar dengan angka kematian yang besar.”

Pada 1802 sebuah epidemi demam kuning yang parah pecah di Wilmington. Vaughan dianggap telah menjadi satu-satunya dokter untuk tetap di kota untuk mengelola mereka yang telah tertular penyakit ditakuti.

Satu tahun kemudian, American Philosophical Society meminta agar ia menulis sebuah pamflet tentang insiden tersebut. Sejarah Singkat dari Demam musim gugur yang berlaku di Borough of Wilmington di Tahun 1802 dihasilkan.

Diary naskah Vaughan fitur perayaan penulis langsung dan pribadi penyebaran penyakit. Dalam Vaughan pamflet rinci mengapa dia pikir epidemi demam kuning dimulai, bagaimana dia pikir itu menyebar, dan apa yang dia pikir harus dilakukan untuk memberantas itu.

Dalam buku hariannya Vaughan mencatat kunjungan awal dengan Ann Davidson, yang kemudian diidentifikasi sebagai pembawa awal penyakit, dan mencatat kondisi di rumah tetangga itu Davidson:
“Gudang Hadley, sebelah Davi [d] anak telah untuk waktu yang lama penuh air – & wadah umum dari kotoran setiap … sering dikutuk sebagai gangguan oleh korporasi, namun diabaikan. Wm. Cloud mengeluh yang menjadi sangat ofensif kepada mereka. ”
Vaughan menulis tentang kegiatan warga Wilmington pada tanggal 13 September: “3/4 dari orang-orang kiri bagian bawah kota ini – di bawah jalan kedua – alarm besar. Dewan Kesehatan teratur dalam efek – beberapa mengundurkan diri – Presiden melarikan diri – tidak umat manusia kembali kepada Barbarisme “.

Vaughan mungkin digunakan buku hariannya, melayani sebagai itu sebagai catatan kronologis dan sumber detail yang berharga, untuk membangun narasi pamflet nya.

Pada September 23, misalnya, Vaughan menulis surat tentang status penyakit kepada presiden Dewan Kesehatan, Isaac Dixon, ia disalin ke surat ini buku hariannya, dan muncul kemudian dalam surat edaran.

Pada akhir pamflet nya, Vaughan mendaftarkan orang yang meninggal akibat epidemi, dalam buku hariannya ia mencatat nama-nama dan alamat dari mereka terserang dan mencatat apakah mereka sembuh atau meninggal.

Vaughan pernah benar-benar ditinggalkan maksud asli dari buku hariannya – untuk menunjukkan hubungan sebab-akibat antara kondisi cuaca dan kejadian penyakit – untuk menulis tentang wabah demam kuning di Wilmington. Ada, pada kenyataannya, banyak referensi untuk kondisi cuaca selama epidemi, dan konsep memainkan peran penting dalam sejarah Concise nya.

Port of Spain [Trinidad]
13 Juli 1802

Pada kedatangan terlambat dari Eropa & c., Saya belajar bahwa pulau ini banyak dibicarakan dan di sebagian besar tempat dianggap akuisisi besar untuk England. Saya tahu bahwa pendapat seperti berlaku di Philadelphia sebelumnya untuk keberangkatan saya.

Oleh karena itu saya akan membuat Trinidad subyek komunikasi yang hadir dari keyakinan bahwa Anda akan senang menerima saran yang mungkin diandalkan. Sebelum saya masuk pada subjek, mengizinkan saya untuk menyatakan bahwa saya telah di semua lembah terkaya dari Port de Mona luar Anna sungai dan 7 hari dalam perahu mengunjungi Margin Trinidad pada Gulph (Paria atau Ballena).

Yang terakhir dilakukan pada agak bersifat cabul nyata dari hidup saya seperti dalam banyak kasus, malam datang sebelum aku bisa mendarat, yang dilakukan di atas lutut saya di lumpur di iklim tidak bersahabat.

Dalam kata, saya telah di sebagian besar perkebunan dalam budidaya dan telah melihat hampir semua tanah yang terbaik yang liar dan rentan perbaikan.

Fungsi geografis, dan luasnya pulau dapat selalu terlihat dengan memiliki referensi peta. Populasi setuju untuk Sensus lalu diambil pada bulan Oktober 1801 adalah sekitar 39.000 jiwa. _______ Dari Warna segala. Lebih dari setengah totalitas putih adalah Perancis dan Inggris lebih banyak daripada orang-orang Spanyol. Ada di sini beberapa M______, Corsicans, Italia, & orang-orang dari hampir semua Bangsa di Eropa dengan Creoles dari semua Kepulauan di Hindia Barat.

Batavia (sekarang Jakarta), Jawa

– reputasi buruk untuk kejahatan dan penyakit sampar.

Iklim adalah yang paling mewabah dari apapun yang saya pernah masuk Jika Batavia di Jawa telah sampai sekarang disebut Makam Eropa,

sebutan akan berlaku di sini dengan kekuatan yang jauh lebih besar. Saya dapat berbicara menghormati dua tempat dengan cara komparatif dari bagian sepele pengalaman.

Tentu Batavia tidak pernah begitu sakit-sakitan dari apa yang saya telah mampu belajar, seperti Port of Spain telah selama 2 bulan.

Hampir setiap orang Eropa mati yang tiba dengan maksud tinggal permanen sejak 1 April lalu (hari saya mendarat). Jika aku pernah harus memiliki kebahagiaan melihat Anda, saya akan memberikan detail mengenai hal ini yang akan hampir terhuyung kredibilitas.

Tanah yang subur di lembah dan sebagian besar dari pulau ini di tanah datar dari mungkin lain di Hindia Barat.

Tidak ada perhatian telah dibayarkan kepada pupuk kandang, yang merupakan bukti yang kuat kesuburan, meskipun yang saya lihat tebu dari Ratoons 9 sehalus pernah tumbuh.

Sebagian besar pulau dapat disebut tanah perawan – tidak pernah dibersihkan.

The Gulph Paria tentu menawarkan dasar mundur baik selama bulan badai dan tidak tunduk pada badai. Kekerasan angin topan atau _____ angin. Aku tidak bisa, bagaimanapun, setuju dengan jurnal Inggris ________ dalam melampirkan penting indah seperti itu. Ini akan pernah terpaksa sebagai tempat keselamatan kecuali selama bulan Badai dan kemudian hanya oleh kapal di sebuah stasiun windward.

Perang kapal ke bawah angin, mengatakan pada stasiun Jamaika, di mana kekuatan besar umumnya, tidak akan pernah berpikir datang di sini & jarak yang begitu besar, dan akan ia ingat bahwa Hindia Barat tidak menderita dengan lebih sering Badai parah dari sekali dalam 7 tahun rata-rata.

Kapal dagang mungkin datang ke sini tapi tidak ada sebagian besar. Pedagang akan mengejar perdagangan selama bulan-bulan badai. Mereka tidak akan mengizinkan kapal untuk lay up ____ ini.

Kami sekarang akan mempertimbangkan perdagangan interior Trinidad dan saya pikir saya bisa dengan jelas membuktikan bahwa sebagian besar pria komersial di Eropa & Amerika telah memungkinkan dirinya tertipu.

Pelayanan Inggris telah terus mewakili nilai Pulau di gelar besar untuk berasal dari kedekatannya dengan utama. Dari keadaan yang sederhana, mereka telah berjanji Bangsa sebuah perdagangan selundupan yang paling berkembang dengan orang Spanyol.

Mari kita periksa posisi bagian dari Main yang nya dari _____ ke ____ of the River & ke Passages Boca tanpa ______ lebih nyaman untuk Trinidad daripada setiap pulau lainnya.

Pelabuhan ini tidak dan akan menikmati hampir perdagangan eksklusif dengan port tersebut. Tapi dalam apa perdagangan terdiri?

Dalam unggas dan sayuran, & cocao dari O. Saya melihat kapal saat mereka tiba dan berangkat dan akibatnya mengingat fakta dari pengetahuan primitif. Semua yang dijelaskan pantai dalam batas-batas di atas adalah total buruk – orang Spanyol dari ______ telah memperkenalkan uang kurang & telah mengambil _____.

Kami memiliki pembelian mereka telah sama sekali cukup. Dalam kata, mereka telah merugikan jauh lebih besar daripada manfaat ke pulau.
Pelabuhan-pelabuhan utama di Main dari mana pengaruh kekayaan secara rasional bisa diharapkan, adalah Cumana & Laguina – yang pertama adalah terdekat. Dari pelabuhan bahwa Spanyol bisa pergi ke berbagai pulau dengan fasilitas yang lebih besar daripada yang mereka bisa datang ke sini.

1802: Jonathan D. Lewis to Dr. John Vaughan

This letter was written by Jonathan D. Lewis, to his brother-in-law, Dr. John Vaughan (1775-1807), who is credited with performing the first vaccination in Delaware in 1802.

John Vaughan was educated in Chester, Pennsylvania, and in 1793 and 1794, while studying to be a doctor, attended lectures on medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Vaughan practiced medicine in Delaware, first in Christiana Bridge and later in Wilmington. He was a member of several professional organizations, including the Philadelphia Academy of Medicine, the Medical Society of Philadelphia, the American Medical Association, and the Delaware Medical and Philosophical societies. Vaughan was a prolific author, lending his pen to topics of medical and scientific importance. He kept his “Medical Diary No. 3″ before and during the serious yellow fever epidemic of 1802. Vaughan died in 1807 of typhoid fever.

Vaughan was an assiduous observer of Wilmington’s climate conditions, often listing the daily temperature, wind direction, and weather. He believed that these conditions influenced the occurrence of diseases at certain times of the year. Thus, on one group of pages Vaughan recorded weather information for a given month, and on another group he noted what his patients suffered from during the same period.

Occasionally, Vaughan broke this pattern to copy an article that he had read, something he had heard, or a letter that he had either written or received about a medical matter. One of his correspondents was Dr. Benjamin Rush. A man of science and medicine, Vaughan wrote perhaps in amusement to substantiate his theory on the influence of weather on disease: “Mr. Alrichs, an ingenious watch maker, informed me that sickly seasons were always characterized by the breaking of watch springs — that the fact was so well established as to be proverbial & that it was peculiarly so this season.” On August 26, 1800, Vaughan said: “Bad accounts from Baltimore & Norfolk — yellow fever spreading with great mortality.”

In 1802 a severe yellow fever epidemic broke out in Wilmington. Vaughan is reputed to have been the only doctor to have remained in town to administer to those who had contracted the dreaded disease. One year later, the American Philosophical Society requested that he write a pamphlet about the incident. A Concise History of the Autumnal Fever which Prevailed in the Borough of Wilmington in the Year 1802 resulted. Vaughan’s manuscript diary features the author’s immediate and private observances of the spread of the disease. In the pamphlet Vaughan detailed why he thought the yellow fever epidemic started, how he thought it spread, and what he thought had to be done to eradicate it. In his diary Vaughan recorded his early visit with Ann Davidson, whom he later identified as the initial carrier of the disease, and noted the conditions in the house neighboring the Davidson’s:

“Hadley’s cellar, adjoining Davi[d]sons has been for a long time full of water — & the common receptacle of every filth … oft condemned as a nuisance by the corporation, but neglected. Wm. Cloud complained of its being very offensive to them.”

Vaughan wrote of the activities of Wilmington residents on September 13: “3/4 of the people left the lower parts of the town — below second street — great alarm. Board of Health disorganized in effect — some resigned — President fled — are not mankind reverting to Barbarism.”

Vaughan probably used his diary, serving as it did as a chronological record and source of valuable details, to construct the narrative of his pamphlet. On September 23, for example, Vaughan wrote a letter on the status of the disease to the president of the Board of Health, Isaac Dixon; he copied this letter into his diary, and it appeared subsequently in the circular. At the end of his pamphlet, Vaughan listed the people who died from the epidemic; in his diary he recorded the names and addresses of those stricken and noted whether they recovered or died.

Vaughan never totally abandoned the original intent of his diary — to demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship between weather conditions and the incidence of disease — to write about the outbreak of yellow fever in Wilmington. There are, in fact, numerous references to weather conditions during the epidemic, and the concept plays an important role in his Concise History.

TRANSCRIPTION

Addressed to John Vaughan, M.D., Wilmington, State of Delaware

Port of Spain [Trinidad]
July 13, 1802

By the late arrivals from Europe &c., I learn that this island is much spoken of and is in most places considered a great acquisition to England. I know that such an opinion prevailed in Philadelphia previous to my departure. I shall therefore make Trinidad the subject of the present communication from a conviction that you will be pleased to receive advice that may be relied on. Before I enter on the subject, permit me to state that I have been in all the richest valleys from the Port de Mona beyond the River Anna and was 7 days in a boat visiting the Trinidad Margin on the Gulph (Paria or Ballena). The latter was performed at the evident risque of my life as in many instances, night came on before I could land, which was done above my knees in mud in an unfriendly climate. In a word, I have been on most of the estates in cultivation and have seen nearly all the best lands which are wild and susceptible of improvement.

The geographical function, and extent of the island may be always seen by having reference to a map. The population agreeably to the last Census taken in October 1801 was about 39,000 souls. _______ of every Colour. More than half the totality of whites are French and the English are more numerous than the Spaniards. There are here a number of M______, Corsicans, Italians, & people from nearly all the Nations in Europe with Creoles from all the Islands in the West Indies.

The climate is the most pestilential of any that I was ever in. If Batavia in Java has been heretofore called the Grave of European, the appellation will apply here with much greater force. I can speak respecting the two places in the comparative way from a trifling portion of experience. Certainly Batavia was never so sickly from what I have been able to learn, as Port of Spain has been during the last 2 months. Almost every European is dead that arrived with an intention of permanent residence since the 1st April last (the day I landed). If I should ever have the happiness of seeing you, I will give a detail on this subject that will almost stagger credibility.

The soil is fertile in the valleys and a greater portion of the island is in flat land than perhaps any other in the West Indies. No attention has been paid to manure, which is a strong evidence of fertility, notwithstanding which I have seen cane from the 9th Ratoons as fine as ever grew. Much of the Island may be termed virgin land — not being ever cleared.

The Gulph of Paria certainly offers a base of fine retreat during the hurricane month and is not subject to hurricanes. Violent gales or _____ of wind. I cannot, however, agree with the ____ ____ English journals in attaching such wonderful importance to it. It will be never resorted to as a place of safety except during the Hurricane month and then only by vessels in a windward station.

War ships to leeward, say on the Jamaica Station, where the great force is generally, will never think of coming here & the distance being so great, and be it remembered that the West Indies are not afflicted with a severe Hurricane oftener than once in 7 years on an average. Vessels of commerce may come here but to no great extent. Merchants will pursue commerce during the Hurricane months. They will not allow their vessels to lay up this ____.

We shall now consider the interior commerce of Trinidad and I think I can clearly prove that the great bulk of commercial men in Europe & America have allowed themselves to be deceived. The ministry of Great Britain have continually represented the value of the Island in a great degree to derive from its proximity to the main. From that simple circumstance, they have promised the Nation a most flourishing contraband commerce with the Spaniards. Let us examine the position that part of the Main which his from _____ to ____ of the River & to the Boca Passages is without ______ more convenient to Trinidad than to any other Island. This Port does and will enjoy almost exclusive trade with that port. But in what does the trade consist? In poultry and vegetables, & cocao from the O. I see the vessels as they arrive and depart and consequently given the fact from a primitive knowledge. All that coast described within the limits above is miserably poor — the Spaniards from ______ have introduced less money & have taken _____. We have their purchase been at all considerable. In a word, they have been much greater disservice than benefit to the island.

The main ports on the Main from which an influence of wealth could rationally be expected, are Cumana & Laguina — the former is nearest. From that port the Spaniards can go to various islands with greater facility than they can come here. They can go to Antigua and Curacao particularly with much greater ease. Other Islands could be named. I will now ask whether the system of advantages so frequently held out from ____ is nor totally destroyed. If the Spaniards can go to those places with only the same convenience that they can come here, can they there find the kind of goods wanted? They can. In M & C already mentioned, they are at all times certain of finding the very articles they wish. Dutch, French & German ____ have always pleased the Spaniards but make it the intent of a Spaniard or any other person to presume a particular knowledge of trade and he will pursue it.

What is the object of trade? In addition to what has been said, it may be further observed that French & Spanish habits are congenial to each other. Most of the Spaniards speak spanish and no contemptible number of the latter speak ____.

Lately it has been said that France is to have a direct trade from her ports in Europe to those on the Main. If this be true, no island can enjoy a smuggling trade to any extent. In which case Trinidad can promise herself very little.

I am happy in declaring to you that I have been treated very politely here by many very respectable characters.

I am not finally determined respecting the place of my residence. Would to God I could fix it in America. Wealth there is the only criterion of mint. If I could get forward here, I would agree to undergo any and every kind of hardship & sickness for the purpose of doing something for my brothers. I have not yet heard of old _____. It is the single circumstance that keeps me in the dark.

I am with esteem, your obedient servant, — Jonathan D. Luiz

Remember me Mrs. Vaughan. I am sorry to tell you that Jim is a confirmed thief & liar. All the ______ mint I have been able to inflict has provided no change of conduct respecting the f____ he was sold for. I know not what to do with him. If I sell him here, I am fearful that you or I — perhaps both — may be introduced to trouble. I mean if I sell in time. If an opportunity exists of writing to me, do say whether I can with property dispose of his time provided. Make a Bond opportunity for his delivery at 21 years.

Saya dilahirkan di rumah pinjaman paman di tepi kali kecil dibelakan pasar tanah kongsi enam bulan sebelum proklamasi Kemerdekaan.

Bagaimanakah mungkin putra pengusaha percetakan dapat mebnjadi anggota POLRI

beginilah kisahnya

Kakek saya memiliki lapangan Tennis, sehingga tiga kali seminggu saya dapat berlatih dengan semangat dengan pelatihnya Guru olah raga Pah Bachtiar sjarief ayah dari Nuskan sjarief penyanyi Minang yang terkeanal bersama Nurseha dan orkes Gumarang yang salh seorang sponsornya kemudian menjadi KAPOLRI Jendral(P) Dr Awaloedin Djamin.

The Study report

Diabetic Type 2

Created by

Dr Iwan suwandy,MHA

This Study dedicated

To my wife, sons and also my brother

Introductions

Seseorang dengan diabetes tipe 2 dapat menggunakan latihan untuk membantu mengendalikan kadar gula darah mereka dan memberikan energi otot mereka perlu untuk berfungsi sepanjang hari.

Dengan mempertahankan diet sehat dan olahraga yang cukup, seseorang dengan
diabetes tipe 2
NON Insulin dependend diabetes melittus (NIDDM)
mungkin dapat menjaga gula darah mereka dalam rentang non-diabetes normal tanpa pengobatan.

Original info

A person with type 2 diabetes can use exercise to help control their blood sugar levels and provide energy their muscles need to function throughout the day.

By maintaining a healthy diet and sufficient exercise, a person with

type 2 diabetes

NON Insulin Dependend diabetes melittus(NIDDM)

may be able to keep their blood sugar in the normal non-diabetic range without medication.

Sehubungan dengan kenyataan tersebut diatas,perlu dilakukan studi kepustakaan terkait dengan kelainan diabetes type 2 ini karena banyak tulisan yang memberikan informasi keliru dan sering dimanfaatkan secara keliru oleh para pedagang obat dan malah juga oleh sejawat dokter nakal yang merugikan penderitanya

bERDASARKAN PENGALAMAN PRIBADI SELAMA HAMPIR 50 TAHUN DI KLINIS, BANYAK PASIEN DIABETES TYPE 2 TIDAK MENGERTI KELAIANAN YANG TERJADI PADA DIRINYA SEHINGGA MERASA SEPERTI PENDERITA DIABETES TYPE 1 YANG TERGANTUNG DENGAN iSNULIN KARENA PANCREASNYA RUSAK DAN TIDAK MENGHASILKAN INSULIN, MALAH MEREKA MEMINUM OBAT YANG MENGHABTA HATI MEMPRODUKSI GLUCOA SEHINGGA TIMBUL KERUSAKAN HATI.

SEHUBUNGAN DENGAN HAL T INI STUDI KEPUSTAKAAN INI DIHARAPKAN DAPAT BERMANFAAT BAGI PARA MANULA YANG UMUMNYA MEMILIKI RESIKO TINGGI

HASIL STUDI KEPUSTAKAAN

Diabetes tipe 2

Definisi

Diabetes tipe 2 adalah penyakit (kronis) seumur hidup di mana ada gula tingkat tinggi (glukosa) dalam darah. Diabetes tipe 2 adalah bentuk paling umum diabetes.

Alternatif Nama
Noninsulin-dependent diabetes; Diabetes – tipe 2;

tIMBULNYA (ONSET)

Diabetes saat dewasa

Penyebab, kejadian, dan faktor risiko
Diabetes disebabkan oleh masalah dalam cara tubuh Anda membuat atau menggunakan insulin. Insulin dibutuhkan untuk memindahkan gula darah (glukosa) ke dalam sel, di mana disimpan dan kemudian digunakan untuk energi.

Pathogenesis
Pada diabetes tipe 2, lemak, hati, dan sel-sel otot tidak merespon dengan benar terhadap insulin.

Hal ini disebut resistensi insulin.

Akibatnya, gula darah tidak masuk ke sel-sel ini untuk disimpan untuk energi.

Bila gula tidak dapat memasuki sel, gula tingkat tinggi membangun dalam darah. Hal ini disebut hiperglikemia.

Diabetes tipe 2 biasanya terjadi perlahan-lahan dari waktu ke waktu.

Kebanyakan orang dengan penyakit kelebihan berat badan ketika mereka didiagnosis. Peningkatan lemak membuat lebih sulit bagi tubuh Anda untuk menggunakan insulin cara yang benar.

Diabetes tipe 2 juga dapat mengembangkan pada orang yang tipis. Ini lebih umum pada orang tua.

Riwayat keluarga dan gen memainkan peran besar pada diabetes tipe 2.

Kegiatan tingkat rendah, pola makan yang buruk, dan berat badan berlebih di sekitar pinggang meningkatkan risiko Anda.

Gejala

Sering kali, orang dengan diabetes tipe 2 tidak menunjukkan gejala pada awalnya. Mereka mungkin tidak memiliki gejala selama bertahun-tahun.

Gejala-gejala awal diabetes meliputi:
• Kandung kemih, ginjal, kulit, atau infeksi lain yang lebih sering atau menyembuhkan perlahan
• Kelelahan
• Kelaparan
• Meningkatnya rasa haus

Apa Hubungan antara Trigliserida dan Diabetes?

Trigliserida ini telah disebut sebagai “lemak jelek” tapi itu lebih merupakan respons emosional dari satu yang kukuh berakar pada fakta ilmiah.

Namun hubungannya dengan diabetes tidak bisa diabaikan.

Kolesterol telah diidentifikasi sebagai faktor risiko penyakit jantung. Ada iklan yang tak terhitung jumlahnya dan outlet informasi yang mengkonfirmasi masalah yang berhubungan dengan diet yang tidak terkontrol.

Demikian juga ada pil dan pilihan makanan yang dipromosikan sebagai bagian dari solusi.

Konsumen mendapatkan hasil yang bervariasi tergantung pada genetik dan tahap di mana kondisi ini ditangkap.

Program latihan juga direkomendasikan sebagai bagian dari proses hidup sehat.

Pertanyaannya tetap, apakah semua intervensi ini telah efektif atau apakah mereka hanya cara bagi instansi periklanan untuk membuat lebih banyak uang.

• Kumpulan lemak yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan: Dengan konsensus, trigliserida adalah bundel kecil lemak yang ditemukan dalam aliran darah. Mereka meningkat jumlahnya setelah kita mengkonsumsi makanan.

Tubuh akan memproduksi lemak-lemak dari makanan yang kita makan terutama jika mereka lemak di alam.

Diperkirakan bahwa 90% dari seluruh kandungan lemak non-daging tanpa lemak terdiri dari trigliserida.

Oleh karena itu kebiasaan belanja dari kelompok risiko harus mencerminkan bahaya.

• Trigliserida tidak universal buruk:

Diet yang seimbang harus mengandung semua elemen yang relevan. Telah diperkirakan bahwa trigliserida memiliki proporsi 99% dari semua lemak yang tersimpan dalam tubuh manusia.

Anda mendapatkan sumber energi jangka panjang dari deposito ini lemak. Mereka benar-benar disimpan dalam lebih padat daripada protein dari otot atau bahkan pati.

Insulin diperlukan untuk membentuk lemak. Antara makan dan semalam, trigliserida diubah menjadi energi.

Kadar insulin puasa dan rendah akan memicu reaksi ini. Sel-sel lemak memiliki kapasitas penyimpanan yang sangat tinggi dan ini dapat menyebabkan obesitas pada situasi tertentu.

Jika Anda sedang menjalani puasa luas atau sama sekali tidak ada insulin dalam tubuh maka hati akan mengkonversi produk pemecahan lemak menjadi keton.

• komplikasi kesehatan dan manifestasi mereka:

Hal ini sering terjadi rendahnya tingkat HDL atau kolesterol baik dikaitkan dengan tingkat tinggi trigliserida.

Ini kemudian didiagnosis sebagai dislipidemia diabetik. Ini adalah kombinasi dari faktor-faktor yang dapat menempatkan hidup pasien dalam bahaya.

Pasien dalam situasi ini akan memiliki kelompok kecil, padat dan akhirnya berbahaya dari LDL atau kolesterol berbahaya.

Format yang terakhir ini tidak diinginkan berdasarkan sifat aterogenik nya. Akhirnya orang tersebut akan mengembangkan

obesitas sentral.

Ini adalah salah satu fitur mendefinisikan sindrom metabolik.

• Sekitar 80% dari semua penderita diabetes tipe 2 akan memiliki kondisi ini. Akhirnya orang tersebut meninggal lebih cepat akibat penyakit jantung.
• Menetapkan tolok ukur untuk orang yang sehat: Sangat penting bahwa Anda memiliki beberapa tujuan pada seberapa banyak trigliserida yang Anda akan merekam pada skala standar. Ini merupakan indikator yang mendasari kondisi sehat. Oleh karena itu

Anda akan berada dalam posisi untuk menerapkan strategi pencegahan bila diperlukan untuk melakukannya.

Tingkat normal trigliserida adalah 150 mg / dl. Angka batas adalah antara 150 dan 199.

Tingginya adalah antara 200 dan 499 sedangkan apa pun lebih dari 500 adalah hal yang mendesak.

Keadaan puasa normal akan memiliki tingkat membaca antara 100 dan 150 mg / dl.

Setelah makan yang normal angkanya akan meningkat menjadi 300.

Pasien dengan diabetes tipe 2 akan mengalami peningkatan kadar di kedua saat baik puasa dan maupun sesuah makan.

Sebelum tes lipid panel, Anda harus memiliki beberapa puasa semalam setidaknya selama 12 jam.

Demikian juga tidak dianjurkan untuk mengambil alkohol minimal 24 jam sebelum tes.
• Mengelola tingkat trigliserida dalam tubuh Anda:

Hal ini untuk keuntungan Anda bahwa Anda menjaga kadar zat ini relatif rendah.

Pasien dengan diabetes tipe 2 memiliki faktor risiko tinggi dan perlu bekerja sedikit yang ekstra untuk memastikan bahwa tingkat mereka 150 mg / dl atau bahkan lebih rendah. Ini akan membantu mereka mengurangi kemungkinan terkena penyakit kardiovaskular.

Beberapa orang dalam kategori ini telah melakukan tingkat yang lebih dari 400. Setelah Anda mulai memukul tanda 1000 maka Anda akan menderita lesi kulit atau xanthomas, kehilangan memori, pankreas dan sakit perut. Intervensi diperlukan pada tahap ini untuk menyelamatkan hidup Anda.

• Respon klinis:

Kombinasi obat dan manajemen diet dapat memiliki hasil positif. Pertama-tama Anda harus bertujuan untuk pengendalian glukosa. Sebuah resep khas akan mencakup Statin seperti Zocor, Lipitor, Pravachol, Zetia, Crestor dan Vytorin.

Obat-obat ini dimaksudkan untuk menurunkan kadar kolesterol Anda secara umum. Pasien diabetes tipe 2 mungkin memerlukan terapi kombinasi untuk mencapai tingkat yang aman dari trigliserida.

Anda juga harus memikirkan cara-cara menurunkan kadar LDL Anda. Kadang-kadang dokter akan merekomendasikan serangkaian fibrate seperti gemfibrozil Lopid, Trico fenofibrate dan asam nikotinat atau niasin. Hal ini juga dianjurkan untuk memasukkan minyak ikan dalam diet Anda.

Setelah menyadari bahaya yang dapat timbul dari trigliserida dalam kaitannya dengan diabetes, Anda harus datang dengan perubahan gaya hidup praktis yang akan membantu Anda menghindari fase berbahaya.

Dalam beberapa kasus Anda mungkin harus membatasi asupan lemak Anda sepenuhnya. Masalahnya adalah bahwa langkah ini dapat menyebabkan Anda mengambil karbohidrat bahkan lebih dan karena itu meningkatkan tingkat trigliserida dalam aliran darah Anda.

Beberapa buku merekomendasikan lemak substitusi sehat seperti minyak zaitun dan lemak tak jenuh tunggal lainnya.

Tidak meningkatkan asupan produk tepung gula atau putih. Asupan Alkohol harus disimpan ke minimum.

Ambil minyak ikan seperti tuna, sarden, salmon, makarel dan ikan.

Mereka mengandung asam lemak omega-3 yang dikenal untuk mengurangi trigliserida.

Kelainan genetik seperti hipotiroidisme dapat menggabungkan dengan penyakit untuk memperburuk situasi.

Mengambil obat-obatan seperti steroid, pil KB dan Tamoxifen juga bisa menimbulkan masalah. Anda beresiko jika Anda menderita penyakit ginjal, gagal hati dan tekanan darah tinggi
