Boyband dan Girlband Korea
Virus Boyband Dan Girlband Korea Menyebar Ke Seluruh Penjuru Asia

Sebelum virus girlband korea dan boyband korea melanda indonesia, boyband juga telah mewarnai musik indonesia. Namun, mungkin pada masa itu musik band dengan permainan alat musik yang atraktif lebih di minati daripada musik boyband dan girlband yang lebih menonjolan suara di iringi gerakan tubuh yang lincah, sehingga kemunculan boyband tidak terlalu terlihat.
Entah faktor apa yang membuat kemunculan boyband dan girlband di indonesia saat ini menjadi perhatian utama para penikmat musik indonesia. Mungkin karena ada beberapa artis, boyband atau girlband korea yang datang ke indonesia untuk memperkenalan musik mereka dan mengunjungi para fans mereka di indonesia. Di indonesia sendiri juga banyak fans boyband atau girlband korea. Hal tersebut juga menimbulkan persepsi yang kurang menyenangkan terhadap kemunculan boyband maupun girlband indonesia. Sebagan fans boyband atau girlband korea menganggap boyband maupun girlband indonesia sebagai plagiat atau peniru. Hal ini di dasarkan adanya kemiripan antara musik, gerakan tarian ( koreografi ), maupun gaya-gaya yang di tunjukkan. Terkadang kemunculan boyband maupun girlband di indonesia tidak di imbangi dengan kualitas vokal yang cukup. Sebagian dari mereka hanya memanfaatkan kesempatan yang ada dengan mengandalkan tampilan fisik yang menarik. Gerakan tarian yang energik menutup kekurangan mereka dalam hal vokal yang seharusnya menjadi fokus utama dalam dunia musik. Hal ini terlihat ketika sedang tampil di atas panggung, boyband maupun girlband indonesia lebih banyak lipsing daripada menyanyi secara live. ketika mereka menyanyi secara live, banyak sekali kekurangan dalam hal vokal yang seharusnya tidak terjadi. Mungkin hal inilah yang tidak bisa di tiru oleh boyband maupun girlband indonesia yaitu penguasaan vokal yang sempurna di iringi gerakan tubuh yang energik. Mungkin mereka dapat menampilkan pertunjukan yang lebih sempurna lagi dengan banyak berlatih vokal untuk hasil yang maksimal.

I Will Be Here
Whenever you're sad,
or feeling blue,
Just call on me.
I'll be here for you.
Whenever you're happy,
or feeling sad,
Just call on me.
You are going to be glad that you had.
'Cause I'm gonna be there
with open arms.
I'm going to be there
to bear your arms.
I may be young,
or tiny like a bug,
but when you're sad
I swear to God,
I give the biggest hugs.
So when you're lonely
or just plain blue,
Just think of me,
or this poem,
And I'll come to you.
or feeling blue,
Just call on me.
I'll be here for you.
Whenever you're happy,
or feeling sad,
Just call on me.
You are going to be glad that you had.
'Cause I'm gonna be there
with open arms.
I'm going to be there
to bear your arms.
I may be young,
or tiny like a bug,
but when you're sad
I swear to God,
I give the biggest hugs.
So when you're lonely
or just plain blue,
Just think of me,
or this poem,
And I'll come to you.

Spongebob Squarepants
SpongeBob SquarePants (often referred to simply as SpongeBob) is an
American animated television series, created by marine biologist and
animator Stephen Hillenburg. Much of the series centers on the exploits
and adventures of the title character and his various friends in the
underwater city of "Bikini Bottom". The series' popularity has prompted
the release of a media franchise, contributing to its position as
Nickelodeon's highest rated show, the most distributed property of MTV
Networks, and among Nicktoons' most-watched shows.[1] As of 2011,
SpongeBob SquarePants is the only Nicktoon from the 1990s that has not
been canceled yet.
The basis for SpongeBob SquarePants was formed by Hillenburg in 1984 while teaching and studying marine biology at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, California, where he wrote the comic strip The Intertidal Zone, which starred various anthropomorphic forms of sea life, many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters. He left the institute to become an animator in 1987, and later attended the California Institute of Arts in 1992. In the institute, he made his thesis film Wormholes (1992), which led to his hiring as a director, writer, producer, storyboard artist, and executive producer of the series Rocko's Modern Life by creator Joe Murray. He started to develop the series in 1996 following Rocko's Modern Life's, and pitched the series to Nickelodeon in 1998 and was later greenlit for a first season.
The pilot episode of SpongeBob SquarePants first aired episodes in the United States on Nickelodeon on May 1, 1999, following the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. The first episodes were called "Help Wanted", "Reef Blower", "Tea at the Treedome". The "official" series premiere followed on July 17, 1999, with the second episode, "Bubblestand/Ripped Pants." The show reached enormous popularity by 2000 and has remained popular since. A feature film of the series was released in theaters on November 19, 2004. The series celebrated its tenth anniversary on July 17, 2009. SpongeBob was renewed for a ninth season on January 3, 2011.[2] (Note: the definition of season for this show is that more episodes have been ordered for future airing.
SpongeBob SquarePants is an extremely energetic and optimistic sea sponge (although his appearance more closely resembles a kitchen sponge) who lives in a pineapple under the sea with his pet snail Gary, who meows like a cat. Although Gary only actually speaks in a few episodes, (mainly in "Sleepy Time" in Spongebob's dream world, where Gary is portrayed as a librarian with an English accent) the characters have shown an ability to understand him. Living two houses down from SpongeBob is his best friend Patrick Star, a dim-witted yet friendly pink seastar who lives under a Rock. Living between the two is Squidward Tentacles, an arrogant and egotistical octopus[3] who lives in an Easter Island moai and dislikes his neighbors (especially SpongeBob) for their child-like behavior. He enjoys playing the clarinet and painting self-portraits.
Another close friend of SpongeBob's is Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from Texas. Sandy is an expert at karate and lives in an underwater tree dome. When not inside her tree dome, she wears an astronaut-like suit because she cannot breathe in water. SpongeBob and Squidward's employer is former officer cadet for the Bikini Bottom Navy force and war veteran Eugene Krabs, a miserly crab obsessed with money, who is the owner of the Krusty Krab restaurant. Mr. Krabs has a whale daughter, named Pearl who is a teenage cheerleader. The reason why Mr. Krabs' daughter is a whale is unknown. Mr. Krabs’ archenemy is Sheldon Plankton, a small green copepod who owns a low-rank fast-food restaurant called the Chum Bucket across the street from the Krusty Krab. Plankton spends most of his time planning to steal the recipe for Mr. Krabs's popular Krabby Patty burgers to obtain success (occasionally with the assistance of his computer wife, Karen), though his schemes always end in failure.

Fixie - Gear Bicycle
A fixed-gear bicycle (or fixed-wheel bicycle, sometimes known as a
fixie) is a bicycle that has no freewheel, meaning it cannot coast — the
pedals are always in motion when the bicycle is moving.
The sprocket is screwed or bolted directly to a fixed rear hub. When the rear wheel turns, the pedals turn in the same direction.This allows a cyclist to stop without using a brake, by resisting the rotation of the cranks, and also to ride in reverse.

The track bicycle is a form of fixed-gear bicycle used for track cycling in a velodrome. But since a "fixed-gear bicycle" is just a bicycle without a freewheel, a fixed-gear bicycle can be almost any type of bicycle.
Traditionally, some road racing, club cyclists used a fixed-gear bicycle for training during the winter months, generally using a relatively low gear ratio, believed to help develop a good pedalling style. In the UK until the 1950s it was common for riders to use fixed-gear bicycles for time trials. The 1959 British 25 mile time trial championship was won by Alf Engers with a competition record of 55 minutes 11 sec, riding an 84 inch fixed-gear bicycle.[4][5][6][7] The fixed-gear was also commonly used, and continues to be used in the end of season hill climb races in the autumn A typical club men's fixed-gear machine would have been a "road/path" or "road/track" cycle. In the era when most riders only had one cycle, the same bike when stripped down and fitted with racing wheels was used for road time trials and track racing, and when fitted with mudguards (fenders) and a bag, it was used for club runs, touring and winter training. By the 1960s, multi-gear derailleurs had become the norm and riding fixed-gear on the road declined over the next few decades.Recent[dated info] years have seen renewed interest and increased popularity of fixed-gear cycling.
In urban North America fixed-gear bicycles have achieved tremendous popularity, with the rise of discernible regional aesthetic preferences for finish and design details.
Dedicated fixed-gear road bicycles are being produced in greater numbers by established bicycle manufacturers. They are generally low in price and characterized by relaxed road geometry, as opposed to the steep geometry of track bicycles.
Fixed-gear bicycles are also used in cycle ball, bike polo and artistic cycling.
A fixed-gear bicycle is particularly well suited for track stands, a manoeuvre in which the bicycle can be held stationary, balanced upright with the rider's feet on the pedals.
Advantages and disadvantages
In slippery conditions some riders prefer to ride fixed because they believe the transmission provides increased feedback on back tire grip.
Descending any significant gradient is more difficult as the rider must spin the cranks at high speed (sometimes at 170 rpm or more), or use the brakes to slow down. Some consider that the enforced fast spin when descending increases suppleness or flexibility, which is said to improve pedalling performance on any type of bicycle
Riding fixed is considered by some to encourage a more effective pedaling style, which is claimed translates into greater efficiency and power when used on a bicycle fitted with a freewheel.
When first riding a fixed gear, a cyclist used to a freewheel may try to freewheel, or coast, particularly when approaching corners or obstacles. Since coasting is not possible this can lead to a 'kick' to the trailing leg, and even to loss of control of the bicycle.
Riding at high speed around corners can be difficult for the novice rider, as the pedals can strike the road, resulting in possible loss of control.
A fixed gear bicycle has fewer moving parts than a multi-gear bicycle and requires less maintenance.
Cyclist riding a fixed gear bike without brakes
Some fixed-gear riders think brakes are not strictly necessary, and brakeless fixed riding has a cult status in some areasBrakes and their cables are said to add extra bulk to the simple appearance of a fixed gear.
Other riders dismiss riding on roads without brakes as an affectation, based on image rather than practicality.Riding brakeless can be dangerous, is prohibited by law in many jurisdictions, and may jeopardize the chances of a successful claim in the event of an accident.
Technique
It is possible to slow down or stop a fixed-gear bike by resisting the turning cranks, and a rider can also lock the rear wheel and skid to slow down or stop on a fixed-gear bicycle. Such a move is initiated by unweighting the rear wheel while in motion by shifting the rider's weight slightly forward and pulling up on the pedals using clipless pedals or toe clips and straps. The rider then stops turning the cranks, thus stopping the drivetrain and rear wheel, while applying body weight in opposition to the rotation of the cranks. This causes the rear wheel to skid, and slow the bike. The skid can be held until the bicycle stops or until the rider desires to continue pedalling again at a slower speed. The technique requires a little practice and using it while cornering is generally considered dangerous.A wet surface further reduces the effectiveness of this method, almost to the point of not reducing speed at all.
On any bike with only rear wheel braking, the maximum deceleration is significantly lower than on a bike equipped with a front brake. As a vehicle brakes, weight is transferred towards the front wheel and away from the rear wheel, decreasing the amount of grip the rear wheel has. Transferring the rider's weight back will increase rear wheel braking efficiency, but a front wheel fitted with an ordinary brake might provide 70% or more of the braking power when braking hard (see Weight transfer).
Legality
United States — The use of any bike without brakes on public roads is illegal in many places, but the wording is often something along the lines of "...must be equipped with a brake that will enable the person operating the cycle to make the braked wheels skid on dry, level and clean pavement..." which some have argued allows the use of the legs and gears.The retail sale of bikes without brakes is banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission– but with an exception for the "track bicycle" (...a bicycle designed and intended for sale as a competitive machine having tubular tires, single crank-to-wheel ratio, and no free-wheeling feature between the rear wheel and the crank....).
UK — The Pedal Cycles Construction and Use Regulations 1983 require pedal cycles "with a saddle height over 635 mm to have two independent braking systems, with one acting on the front wheel(s) and one on the rear". It is commonly thought that a front brake and a fixed rear wheel satisfies this requirement .
Germany — All bicycles are required to have working brakes on both wheels, as well as reflectors and bells. In Bonn a local court accepted that the fixed-gear mechanism was suitable back brake, but high-profile crackdowns specifically targeted fixies in Berlin, in an attempt to control what police described as a "dangerous trend"
Australia — In every state, bicycles are regarded as vehicles under the Road Rules. By law, a bike is required to have at least one functioning brake.
New Zealand — By law all bicycles must have a minimum of "...a good rear brake..."—and those made since 1 January 1988 must also have "...a good front brake..."
France — To be approved for road traffic, a bike must have 2 brakes, 2 lights, numerous reflectors, and a ringer. However the laws are rarely enforced, and the sight of all kinds of non officially approved bikes is quite common.
Denmark — All bicycles are required to have working brakes on both wheels, as well as reflectors and bells.
