Self ImageI see their point. &nbsp;I mean, if you can make someone look super amazing with a couple clicks of the mouse, why not? &nbsp;The only problem is that then we, regular women, see these photos and we get all bummed out. &nbsp;And rightfully so. &nbsp;The way they brush them, patch them, stretch them, we simply can't compete. &nbsp;We (and our daughters) are hard on ourselves. &nbsp;Men have messed up ideals. &nbsp; It's pretty much a mess.<br /> <br /> I think we all realize that this goes on in fashion magazine and on TV but it's nice to actually see it in action. &nbsp;I for one, appreciate the time and energy the creators of this little video put into helping us realize that it's not real. &nbsp;Not something attainable. &nbsp;But it's still kind of a bummer that they do it in the first place. &nbsp;It's still there. &nbsp;And although we may realize it's fake... somehow, sometimes, it still feels real.<br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="; width="560"></iframe>2012/01/little-beauty-self-image.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Entirely Eventful Day)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134134498693875967.post-230710118313069436Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:00:00 +00002011-12-27T08:00:08.849-07:00CuisineA Little Product Review...

SUKABUMI – Perjalanan tiga dekade dedikasi pendidikan berasrama kini memasuki babak baru. Yayasan Al Kausar resmi menggelar puncak peringatan Milad 30 Tahun Al Kausar Boarding School pada Sabtu (3/10/2026). Acara tasyakuran ini berlangsung khidmat pada area Auditorium Al Kausar, Parungkuda, Kabupaten Sukabumi. Selain itu, kegiatan ini mengusung tema Inspiring the Future Leaders and Changemakers. Oleh karena itu, momentum ini menjadi titik tolak penguatan komitmen sekolah menuju masa depan. Selanjutnya, panitia juga mengisi peringatan tiga dekade ini dengan berbagai kegiatan religi. Tak hanya itu, aksi kemanusiaan turut melibatkan seluruh sivitas akademika dan masyarakat sekitar. Jejak Tiga Dekade: Membangun Ilmu, Iman, dan Karakter Tiga puluh tahun lalu, keluarga pendiri mulai membangun sebuah mimpi besar untuk kemajuan pendidikan Sukabumi. Lokasi kampus ini berada pada sudut wilayah yang tenang dan asri. Dua sosok pendiri merintis lembaga pendidikan ini pada lahan seluas sepuluh hektare. Mereka adalah almarhum Bapak Muchsin Mohdar dan almarhumah Ibu Sri Rahayu Fatimah. Faktanya, Ibu Sri Rahayu merupakan adik kandung Presiden ke-3 RI, Prof. B.J. Habibie. Cita-cita mulia tersebut bertujuan menghadirkan tempat tumbuhnya ilmu, iman, dan karakter. Pada awalnya, langkah bersejarah ini bermula saat SMP Internat Al Kausar membuka pintunya pada tahun 1996. Kemudian, lembaga ini terus bertumbuh hingga melahirkan SMA Insan Cendekia Al Kausar pada 2005. Bahkan, sekolah yang awalnya khusus putra ini kini membina santri putra dan putri. Hasilnya, ribuan alumni berhasil menembus berbagai perguruan tinggi terbaik tingkat nasional maupun dunia. Salah satu tonggak bersejarah terjadi dalam perjalanan Milad 30 Tahun Al Kausar Boarding School. Pada tahun 2004, Prof. B.J. Habibie memberikan kehormatan dengan mengunjungi kampus ini secara langsung. Dengan demikian, momen tersebut selalu mengingatkan pentingnya sinergi antara IPTEK, IMTAQ, dan pengabdian. Rangkaian Kegiatan Milad: Ziarah Pendiri, Doa Bersama, hingga Donor Darah Sebagai wujud syukur sejak 1996, panitia menggelar rangkaian acara spiritual dan sosial. Secara khusus, berikut adalah empat agenda utama dalam perayaan tahun ini : Pertama, Ziarah Kubur Pendiri Al Kausar. Keluarga besar sekolah melaksanakan ziarah ke makam Almarhum Bapak Habib Mukhsin bin Mukhdor. Selain itu, rombongan juga menziarahi makam Almarhumah Bunda Sri Rahayu Fatimah Habibi binti Alwi Abdul Jalil Habibi. Melalui kegiatan ini, para guru dan santri memanjatkan doa bersama untuk mengenang jasa besar kedua pendiri. Kedua, Doa Bersama dan Tausiyah Kebangsaan (Kamis, 1 Oktober 2026). Panitia melanjutkan rangkaian acara dengan kegiatan doa bersama pada Masjid Asy Syifa pukul 19.30 WIB. Di samping itu, tim media menyiarkan acara ini secara langsung melalui kanal YouTube resmi sekolah. Ust. Gun Gun Gunawan, S.Sos. dan Ust. Abdul Aziz, Lc. hadir memimpin munajat bersama. Ketiga, Aksi Kemanusiaan Donor Darah (Sabtu, 3 Oktober 2026). OSIS SMA IC Al Kausar berkolaborasi dengan PMI Kabupaten Sukabumi menggelar aksi sosial. Kegiatan bertajuk Setetes, Sejuta Harapan ini berlangsung mulai pukul 07.30 WIB pada area Lobby Sekolah. Lebih lanjut, para guru, staf, orang tua, dan warga sekitar berpartisipasi dengan sangat antusias. Keempat, Tasyakur Milad ke-30 pada Auditorium Al Kausar (Sabtu, 3 Oktober 2026). Acara puncak menjadi ruang silaturahmi atas capaian 30 tahun mendidik dengan hati. Pada akhirnya, agenda ini menjadi momen peneguhan visi baru menuju masa depan. Babak Baru: Sekolah Unggul Garuda Transformasi dan ALKA Green School Perjalanan panjang dunia pendidikan tentu menghadirkan berbagai dinamika tersendiri. Pandemi global sempat mengubah dunia dan persaingan pendidikan semakin berkembang pesat.Namun, komitmen Al Kausar untuk menjaga kualitas pendidikan dan karakter tidak pernah berubah. Maka dari itu, sekolah kini memulai sebuah babak baru dengan semangat Reconnect, Re-activate, dan Reset. Langkah ini bertujuan menguatkan fondasi, menghidupkan energi, dan menata langkah ke depan. Tahun 2026 menjadi momentum baru bagi keluarga besar Al Kausar. SMA Insan Cendekia Al Kausar resmi menjadi bagian dari Sekolah Unggul Garuda Transformasi (SUGT). Selanjutnya, melalui Milad 30 Tahun Al Kausar Boarding School ini yayasan memperkenalkan konsep ALKA Green School. Ekosistem asrama alami ini mengintegrasikan IMTAQ, IPTEK, kepemimpinan, kepedulian lingkungan, dan kesiapan global. Ketua Yayasan Al Kausar, Doktor Diwangkoro Alpinanto Ratam, M.B.A., menyampaikan pesan penting. Beliau menegaskan bahwa perjalanan ini adalah upaya merawat warisan nilai pembentuk manusia. “Pencapaian bukanlah tujuan akhir. Oleh sebab itu, ketika perayaan usai, kita justru memulai tanggung jawab meningkatkan standar pendidikan,” ujar Doktor Diwangkoro, Sabtu (3/10/2026). Menyiapkan Generasi Pengubah Masa Depan (Future Changemakers) Tiga puluh tahun telah berlalu bersama, tetapi perjalanan pengabdian ini belum selesai. Setiap generasi yang datang selalu membawa harapan baru bagi bangsa. Begitu pula, setiap ilmu yang santri pelajari akan membuka berbagai kemungkinan baru. Oleh karena itu, ketulusan hati dalam mendidik generasi muda akan memberi dampak bagi dunia. Secara keseluruhan, fondasi warisan keluarga besar Habibie menjadi pijakan kokoh untuk melangkah jauh. Kesimpulannya, tiga puluh tahun mendidik dengan hati kini menyiapkan Al Kausar membentuk pengubah masa depan.

Ketiga peraih karya terbaik mendapatkan hadiah uang pembinaan. Di samping itu, mereka juga menerima sertifikat penghargaan resmi. Penilaian lomba ini didasarkan pada lima kriteria utama. Pertama, kelayakan nilai artistik logo. Kedua, kesesuaian dengan tema “30 Years Inspiring Future Leaders & Changemakers”. Selanjutnya, tim juri juga menilai kedalaman filosofi, kreativitas, dan fleksibilitas penggunaan logo. Filosofi Mendalam Deretan Pemenang   Juara 1: Ibu Aan Nurhasanah (Unit SMA Insan Cendekia Al Kausar) Karya desain Ibu Aan terpilih sebagai juara utama karena berhasil merangkum identitas sekolah dalam visual yang harmonis. Angka 30 dirancang dengan lekukan elegan yang menyimbolkan kesinambungan masa depan. Kesatuan siluet masjid dan buku terbuka melambangkan pusat pembinaan iman dan fondasi ilmu pengetahuan. Juara 2: Wahyu (Unit Laundry) Karya dari Bapak Wahyu menyajikan visual yang megah. Desainnya menonjolkan tipografi angka 30 bernuansa emas, dibingkai oleh kubah masjid dengan ornamen bintang dan bulan sabit. Di dalam angka nol, terdapat elemen menyerupai lembaran buku dan gelombang air, sejalan dengan semangat membangun generasi Qur’ani yang berakhlak mulia. Juara 3: Ust. Erlangga (Unit Keasramaan) Menempati posisi ketiga, Ust. Erlangga menghadirkan pendekatan desain modern dan dinamis. Logo ini menggunakan garis bersudut yang membentuk angka 30, dipadukan dengan filosofi bentuk atap yang melambangkan perlindungan dan bimbingan khas asrama. Perayaan Milad 30 Al Kausar ini tentu bukan sekadar simbol seremonial. Sebaliknya, karya-karya ini menjadi pengingat visual bagi seluruh sivitas akademika. Kita berkomitmen untuk terus berakar pada nilai Islam dan bertumbuh dengan ilmu.

Pada awal September ini, erupsi Anak Krakatau September 2026 tercatat sebagai salah satu rangkaian letusan terkuat sepanjang tahun. Peristiwa letusan yang disertai fenomena lava fountain atau lava air mancur ini berdampak luas, mulai dari sebaran abu vulkanik hingga dentuman keras yang terdengar dari jarak jauh. sumber Kronologi dan Peningkatan Aktivitas Vulkanik Berdasarkan data pantauan dari Magma Indonesia, aktivitas erupsi menerus mulai terjadi sejak Jumat malam, 4 September 2026 pukul 23:07 WIB. Hingga Minggu, 6 September 2026, letusan-letusan dengan berbagai skala masih terekam jelas di seismograf. Salah satu letusan besar terekam pada Minggu dini hari pukul 03:53 WIB dengan amplitudo maksimum 46 mm selama 30 detik. Letusan lain kembali menyusul pada pukul 07:10 WIB di hari yang sama. Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) menginterpretasikan erupsi yang terus menerus ini sebagai fenomena lava fountain (lava air mancur). Sepanjang status siaga, tercatat lebih dari 240 letusan, menjadikan ini letusan terkuat Gunung Anak Krakatau di tahun 2026. sumber Dampak Erupsi: Sebaran Abu Vulkanik dan Dentuman Rangkaian erupsi Anak Krakatau September 2026 memberikan dampak langsung pada lingkungan dan aktivitas warga di beberapa provinsi. Berikut adalah dampak utamanya: Sebaran Abu Vulkanik Meluas: BMKG melaporkan bahwa kolom abu vulkanik menyebar luas hingga ketinggian 50.000 kaki. Hujan abu dilaporkan melanda wilayah pesisir Lampung, Banten, hingga sebagian wilayah Jakarta dan Sukabumi. Gangguan Penerbangan: Tingginya abu vulkanik di udara menyebabkan terganggunya jadwal penerbangan. Sejumlah rute penerbangan dari dan menuju Bandara Soekarno-Hatta terpaksa dibatalkan atau dialihkan demi keselamatan. Dentuman Terdengar Jauh: Fenomena gelombang suara dari letusan merambat jauh melalui atmosfer. Dentuman dan gemuruh tidak hanya terdengar di Pos Pengamatan Pasauran, Banten, tetapi getarannya juga dilaporkan terasa hingga ke wilayah Bandung, Jawa Barat. Perambatan dentuman Krakatau hingga ke Bandung. Source: ANTARA News Status Siaga dan Imbauan untuk Masyarakat Saat ini, tingkat aktivitas Gunung Anak Krakatau masih ditetapkan pada Level III (Siaga). Terkait kekhawatiran warga akan potensi tsunami, pihak berwenang menegaskan bahwa ancaman tsunami akibat letusan saat ini sangat kecil, sehingga warga di pesisir Banten dan Lampung diharapkan tetap tenang. Meski begitu, Badan Geologi memberikan sejumlah rekomendasi tegas: Jauhi Zona Bahaya: Masyarakat, nelayan, dan wisatawan dilarang keras mendekat atau beraktivitas dalam radius 3 km dari kawah aktif Anak Krakatau. Gunakan Pelindung Diri: Warga yang wilayahnya terdampak hujan abu vulkanik diimbau selalu menggunakan masker dan kacamata saat beraktivitas di luar rumah guna mencegah infeksi saluran pernapasan dan iritasi mata. Dengan terus dipantaunya perkembangan erupsi Anak Krakatau September 2026, masyarakat diharapkan tidak mudah terpancing berita hoaks dan selalu merujuk pada informasi resmi dari instansi pemerintah seperti PVMBG dan BMKG. Panduan Mitigasi Abu Vulkanik Khusus Civitas Akademika Al Kausar Boarding School Mengingat dampak sebaran abu vulkanik yang meluas, langkah mitigasi ekstra perlu segera diterapkan di lingkungan asrama dan sekolah. Hal terpenting yang wajib disadari oleh seluruh penghuni sekolah adalah abu vulkanik bukanlah debu biasa. Material ini mengandung unsur silika—bahan utama pembuat kaca dan semen—sehingga sifatnya sangat tajam, korosif, dan berbahaya bagi pernapasan. Berikut adalah instruksi khusus yang wajib diterapkan oleh seluruh murid, guru, staf, dan petugas kebersihan di lingkungan Al Kausar Boarding School: Wajib Masker dan Teknik Pelembapan: Seluruh murid dan guru wajib menggunakan masker jenis KN (bukan sekadar masker bedah biasa) saat keluar dari kamar asrama. Tips penting: Basahi sedikit bagian luar masker dengan air. Kelembapan ini akan mengikat partikel abu di luar sehingga tidak beterbangan menembus pori-pori masker. Dengan demikian Jangan pernah nekat melepas masker di area terbuka; menghirup abu silika sama berbahayanya dengan menghirup serpihan kaca. Perlindungan Mata (Dilarang Mengucek!): Gunakan kacamata saat beraktivitas di luar ruangan. Jika mata kelilipan saat berjalan menuju kelas, jangan pernah dikucek. Mengucek mata yang terkena silika akan langsung menggores kornea. Segera cari wastafel terdekat atau kunjungi ruang kesehatan untuk membilas mata dengan air mengalir. Tutup Ventilasi Asrama dan Kelas: Cegah abu masuk ke ruangan dengan menutup celah-celah ventilasi (angin-angin) di asrama dan ruang kelas menggunakan kertas koran atau kertas bekas. Upaya preventif ini jauh lebih ringan dibandingkan harus melakukan kerja bakti membersihkan seisi ruangan yang sudah telanjur tertutup abu. Langkah Pembersihan Area Sekolah dan Kendaraan Prosedur Pembersihan Kaca (Untuk Siswa Piket & Staf): Jangan pernah membersihkan debu vulkanik di kaca jendela kelas, asrama, atau kacamata dengan cara dilap kering. Partikel silika yang tajam akan langsung menggores permukaan. Selalu siram terlebih dahulu menggunakan air, baru kemudian usap perlahan. Pembersihan Halaman Sekolah: Tunggu hingga hujan abu dipastikan benar-benar reda sebelum membersihkan halaman. Gunakan teknik semprot air atau sapu secara perlahan. Jangan sekadar menyiram tumpukan abu dengan air ember biasa, karena abu silika yang disiram tanpa disapu akan mengeras dan membentuk lapisan mirip semen di permukaan paving block. Penanganan Kendaraan Staf & Guru: Bagi guru dan staf yang memarkirkan mobil atau motor di area sekolah, kendaraan wajib dicuci bersih dengan air mengalir, bukan sekadar dilap. Sifat abu vulkanik cenderung asam. Akibatnya, material ini bisa memicu karat pada logam dan merusak cat kendaraan jika dibiarkan menempel. Mari bersama-sama disiplin menerapkan protokol ini agar kegiatan belajar mengajar dan kehidupan di asrama tetap aman, sehat, dan terhindar dari risiko ISPA (Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Akut). Oase Hijau di Kaki Gunung: Perlindungan Alami Al Kausar Boarding School Selain menerapkan protokol mitigasi secara disiplin, letak geografis Al Kausar Boarding School di wilayah Sukabumi memberikan keuntungan perlindungan tersendiri dari paparan polusi udara dan abu vulkanik. Berada di bentang alam kaki gunung yang asri dengan tutupan vegetasi yang sangat padat, kawasan sekolah ini seolah memiliki sistem filtrasi udara raksasa yang bekerja secara alami. Keberadaan ekosistem hijau ini bukan sekadar pemanis lanskap, melainkan benteng kesehatan bagi seluruh civitas akademika. Berikut adalah bagaimana lingkungan asri sekolah bekerja meminimalisir polusi udara: Filtrasi Kanopi (Phyto-filtration): Rimbunnya tajuk pepohonan di area kampus berfungsi sebagai penghalang mekanis. Daun-daun dan cabang pohon secara efektif menangkap partikel debu halus dan silika di udara sebelum sempat menyentuh area asrama maupun ruang kelas. Pengendap Debu Alami: Tingginya kelembapan udara yang dihasilkan oleh lingkungan pepohonan membantu mengikat partikel debu vulkanik agar lebih cepat jatuh ke tanah, sehingga tidak terus beterbangan di udara terbuka. Sirkulasi Oksigen Segar: Proses fotosintesis dari hamparan vegetasi terus menyuplai oksigen bersih. Akibatnya, kualitas udara di dalam batas lingkungan sekolah tetap terjaga, segar, dan aman bagi sistem pernapasan anak-anak. Dengan demikian, lingkungan yang bersih dan hijau di Al Kausar Boarding School terbukti menjadi aset pital untuk memastikan proses belajar dan tumbuh kembang siswa tetap kondusif, bahkan di tengah tantangan alam eksternal. Kawasan pendidikan yang menyatu dengan alam ini adalah pilihan yang sangat tepat. Khususnya, bagi para orang tua yang memprioritaskan kesehatan dan kenyamanan lingkungan belajar anak. Tingginya kelembapan dari rimbunnya pepohonan sangat membantu mengikat partikel debu vulkanik. Dengan demikian, debu akan lebih cepat jatuh ke tanah dan tidak terus beterbangan. Momentum pendaftaran PMB Early Bird untuk tahun ajaran 2027-2028 yang saat ini tengah berlangsung menjadi kesempatan terbaik untuk memastikan putra-putri Anda mendapatkan ekosistem pendidikan yang unggul dan senantiasa terlindungi.

ALKONNECT Alumni Al Kausar hadir sebagai wadah untuk kembali menghubungkan keluarga besar alumni Al Kausar Boarding School SMP dan SMA dari berbagai angkatan. Lebih dari sekadar reuni, ALKONNECT membawa semangat untuk membangun koneksi yang lebih berarti, saling menguatkan, menciptakan peluang kolaborasi, serta memberikan kontribusi nyata bagi almamater dan masyarakat. Kehadiran ALKONNECT menjadi bagian dari perjalanan menuju 30 tahun Al Kausar dengan semangat “30 Years. One Family. Many Journeys.” Sebuah perjalanan panjang yang mempertemukan banyak generasi, pengalaman, dan cerita dalam satu keluarga besar Al Kausar. Perjalanan Ikatan Alumni Al Kausar Ikatan alumni Al Kausar telah mengalami perjalanan yang cukup panjang. Pada era 1990-an, komunitas alumni mulai terbentuk seiring dengan lahirnya generasi pertama Al Kausar. Memasuki tahun 2000-an, ikatan alumni mulai berkembang melalui berbagai kegiatan yang mempertemukan para lulusan. Pada periode 2010-an hingga 2020-an, aktivitas alumni mulai berkurang dan belum dikelola secara optimal. Namun, hubungan antara alumni dan almamater tidak pernah benar-benar hilang. Memasuki periode 2025–2026, semangat tersebut kembali dihidupkan melalui ALKONNECT dengan pendekatan yang lebih terstruktur, inklusif, dan berorientasi pada dampak. ALKONNECT hadir dengan keyakinan bahwa meskipun perjalanan setiap alumni berbeda, Al Kausar tetap menjadi salah satu titik yang menyatukan mereka. Apa Itu ALKONNECT (ALKONNECT Alumni Al Kausar)? Nama ALKONNECT berasal dari perpaduan kata Al Kausar dan Connect. ALKONNECT merupakan komunitas alumni Al Kausar Boarding School SMP dan SMA dari seluruh angkatan yang dibangun untuk menghubungkan para alumni agar dapat saling menguatkan, bertumbuh, serta memberikan manfaat bagi almamater dan masyarakat. Konsep ALKONNECT dibangun melalui beberapa nilai utama, yaitu People, Opportunities, Collaboration, Contribution, dan Lasting Impact. People: Membangun Keluarga Besar Lintas Angkatan ALKONNECT menjadi ruang untuk mempertemukan alumni dari berbagai generasi. Hubungan yang sebelumnya terbatas pada satu angkatan dapat berkembang menjadi jaringan keluarga besar alumni Al Kausar. Koneksi lintas angkatan ini diharapkan membuka kesempatan untuk saling mengenal, bertukar pengalaman, dan memperluas jaringan. Opportunities: Berbagi Peluang dan Pengalaman Setiap alumni memiliki perjalanan yang berbeda setelah menyelesaikan pendidikan di Al Kausar. Ada yang melanjutkan pendidikan, membangun karier profesional, menjadi pengusaha, akademisi, maupun berkarya di berbagai bidang lainnya. Melalui ALKONNECT, berbagai pengalaman dan peluang tersebut dapat dibagikan kepada sesama alumni maupun generasi Al Kausar berikutnya. Collaboration: Membangun Sesuatu Bersama Koneksi yang baik dapat berkembang menjadi kolaborasi. ALKONNECT mendorong terciptanya kerja sama antaralumni maupun antara alumni dengan sekolah. Kolaborasi tersebut dapat diwujudkan dalam berbagai bidang, mulai dari pendidikan, mentoring, kegiatan sosial, pengembangan fasilitas, hingga berbagai program yang memberikan manfaat lebih luas. Contribution: Memberi Kembali Salah satu semangat penting ALKONNECT adalah memberi kembali. Alumni bukan hanya menjadi bagian dari sejarah Al Kausar, tetapi juga dapat menjadi bagian dari perkembangan dan masa depan sekolah. Kontribusi dapat hadir dalam banyak bentuk, baik melalui ilmu, pengalaman, waktu, jaringan, ide, maupun dukungan terhadap berbagai program pengembangan. Lasting Impact: Dampak untuk Generasi Berikutnya Kontribusi yang diberikan hari ini diharapkan tidak hanya memberikan manfaat sesaat. ALKONNECT ingin membangun dampak yang dapat terus dirasakan oleh siswa, alumni, civitas Al Kausar, dan generasi berikutnya. One Connection, Four Impacts ALKONNECT membawa konsep “One Connection, Four Impacts”, yaitu satu koneksi yang dapat memberikan manfaat kepada empat kelompok utama: Alumni, Almamater Al Kausar, Civitas Al Kausar, dan masyarakat Parungkuda. Bagi alumni, ALKONNECT menjadi ruang untuk kembali terhubung dan saling menguatkan. Bagi almamater, jaringan alumni dapat mendukung berbagai proses pengembangan sekolah. Bagi civitas Al Kausar, alumni dapat berbagi ilmu, pengalaman, mentoring, dan membuka peluang kolaborasi. Sementara bagi masyarakat sekitar, keberadaan jaringan alumni diharapkan dapat diterjemahkan menjadi berbagai bentuk kontribusi sosial. Semangat tersebut dirangkum dalam empat tahapan sederhana: Connect – Support – Collaborate – Contribute. Berawal dari koneksi, tumbuh menjadi dukungan, berkembang melalui kolaborasi, kemudian diwujudkan menjadi kontribusi nyata. Lebih dari Sekadar Reuni ALKONNECT tidak dibangun hanya sebagai tempat untuk mengenang masa sekolah. Konsep yang dibawa adalah “More Than Reunion – Network that Creates Real Impact.” Artinya, pertemuan alumni diharapkan menjadi awal terbentuknya jaringan yang produktif dan memberikan manfaat nyata. Ada lima semangat yang ingin dibangun melalui ALKONNECT: Connect, Support, Collaborate, Contribute, dan Impact. Connect berarti kembali terhubung. Support berarti saling menguatkan. Collaborate berarti menciptakan peluang bersama. Contribute berarti memberikan manfaat nyata. Sedangkan Impact berarti menghadirkan dampak yang dapat dirasakan oleh generasi penerus. Dengan konsep tersebut, reuni bukan menjadi tujuan akhir, melainkan pintu masuk menuju gerakan alumni yang lebih berkelanjutan. ALGAE by ALKA: Menuju Ekosistem Sekolah Hijau Dalam pengembangan programnya, Al Kausar juga memperkenalkan ALGAE by ALKA. ALGAE by ALKA merupakan inisiatif pengembangan ekosistem sekolah hijau yang mengintegrasikan pendidikan, teknologi, keberlanjutan lingkungan, dan pemberdayaan masyarakat. Program ini membawa visi untuk menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang ramah lingkungan sekaligus mampu menumbuhkan karakter, inovasi, dan kepedulian terhadap lingkungan. Konsep ALGAE by ALKA menghubungkan empat aspek utama, yaitu pendidikan berkualitas, ekosistem berkelanjutan, pemberdayaan masyarakat, dan dampak nyata untuk masa depan. Melalui pendekatan tersebut, lingkungan sekolah tidak hanya menjadi tempat belajar secara akademik, tetapi juga menjadi ruang bagi siswa untuk memahami pentingnya keberlanjutan serta membangun kepedulian terhadap lingkungan dan masyarakat. Peluang Kontribusi Alumni dan Korporasi ALKONNECT juga membuka peluang bagi alumni maupun pihak korporasi untuk berpartisipasi dalam pengembangan fasilitas dan program Al Kausar. Beberapa peluang kontribusi yang diperkenalkan antara lain Green Classroom, Digital Lab atau Multimedia Room, Edufarm Expansion, Pusat Kuliner Sekolah, Area Olahraga Putri, dan

We’ll see. There has been much talk this college basketball season about coaching behavior on the sidelines. I did read in an article however that coach’s technical fouls are actually down over a year ago. But maybe coach’s antics are up causing the added attention. Both coaches and referees are at fault for this matter, but it’s largely the coaches’ problem. I understand isolated events, but when a coach has repeated bad sideline behavior, it’s a problem. One solution is to have the athletic director sit the coach down and have a little talk on the behavior problem. Another solution is placing restrictions on coaches’ access to the referees. Does the coach really require moving up and down the sidelines like a rooster ‘working’ the officials for calls? That answer: is no. Does the coach really need to yell instructions to players from the coaching box? No. He could sit on the bench and holler. Now for the referees and what they can do. Referees need to quit socializing with players and coaches before the game. I understand they want a good working relationship with the participants, but they are there to do a job not win friends. College basketball is a great game. But this problem detracts from it. 2014/03/coach-basketball-coaches-and-referees.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-7416797820689293890Fri, 10 May 2013 21:33:00 +00002013-05-10T14:33:05.861-07:001990 National ChampionshipBill McCartneyCollege Football Hall of FameColoradoGodLes MilesLSUNebraskaPromise KeepersBill McCartney: Great Coach, Great ManI was thrilled this week to learn that former Colorado football coach Bill McCartney has been election to the College Football Honor of Fame<br /> <br /> Coach Mac and I have been long time friends.<br /> <br /> McCartney has the most wins of any coach in Colorado football history. He led the Buffaloes to the 1990 National Championship.<br /> <br /> He created excitement in the old Big 8 Conference. Nebraska was the kingpin in those days and McCartney’s teams often rose above the kingpin. <br /> <br /> Two things described McCartney the coach: recruiting and motivation. He consistently recruited black athletes to come to the Boulder school and it resulted in a pile of victories. He was a master motivator. The guy could get players to buy into the team concept. And he preached accountability.<br /> <br /> Coach Mac left the sidelines 20 years ago. Like most successful coaches, he developed a head coaching tree. LSU’s Les Miles is the most noticeable of that group.<br /> <br /> But McCartney was more than a successful coach. He helped found the Christian men’s movement Promise Keepers. If you ever heard the guy speak at an event, McCartney reminded one of a fiery preacher who had a real message.<br /> <br /> Coach Mac was and is a man of conviction. And a man of God. Those two attributes are rare these days. <br /> <br /> 2013/05/bill-mccartney-great-coach-great-man.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-6700674129919295233Sat, 13 Apr 2013 18:40:00 +00002013-04-13T11:41:03.760-07:00All About College Sportsblog commentsBobby Petrinocollege basketballcollege footballDave Dilesspring cleaningUnited StatesVanderbilt Basketball CourtVanderbilt UniversityAll About College Sports: Spring CleaningIn this part of the world there is an annual ritual this time of year: spring cleaning. But in parts of the United States, it doesn’t even feel like spring. Cold, rain and snow are making the weather news.<br /> <br /> But it’s time to perform a spring cleaning of my blog “All About College Sports.” College football and college basketball produce the most interest of any college sports and those playing seasons are over. Consequently, I will limit my blog posts considerably in the next few months. From time-to-time, I will see write blogs on the “hot news” items, but it’s time for a break.<br /> <br /> I have been doing this blog since 2008. It’s been an opportunity to produce fresh content for my readers based on the wonderful world of college sports. I consider myself a college sports junkie. It’s fun following the sports and the personalities. Sometimes I take winning and losing a little too seriously but that’s part of being a fan, I guess.<br /> <br /> Early in the basketball season, I questioned whether I wanted to continue this blog. There are tons of sports voices out there seeking to be read. Mine frankly is pretty small. But, I guess that’s okay.<br /> <br /> I would enjoy hearing from my readers as I wrestle with my decision. What do you enjoy about my blog? What don’t you enjoy? What kinds of things should I write about? It would be great if you flood my blog with comments. I will read all of the comments. <br /> <br /> Numbers are sometimes interesting. According to the numbers, the best read blog has been in a landside “Bobby Petrino’s family. That was an extremely sad story. Interestingly, No. 2 is “Vanderbilt’s Basketball Court.” The set-up is unique and so cool with the benches behind the baskets. Another surprise is No. 5 with “Dave Diles-College Football Scoreboard.” Like me, you folks must have keen memories of Diles reading those scores each Saturday.<br /> <br /> If you haven’t had an opportunity to read those blogs, I invite you to take a peak.<br /> <br /> Thank you for your faithful readership. Again, I would enjoy hearing from you in the comments.<br /> <br /> Best, Paul<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2013/04/all-about-college-sportsspring-cleaning.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-4361916702983003596Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:20:00 +00002013-04-09T09:20:14.669-07:00college basketballLouisvilleMarch MadnessMichiganNBA DraftNCAA basketball tournamentNCAA Basketball: It's Over<br /> The college basketball men’s season is officially over and I don’t know if I’m happy or sad.<br /> <br /> Louisville took the title last night (Monday) defeating Michigan in an entertaining game. Michigan became the 67th and final team to become disappointed in the NCAA tournament.<br /> <br /> College basketball is a long season. Someone said once that college basketball coaches have a sense of humor (as opposed to the football coaches) because of the season length. Without humor, the coaches probably wouldn’t survive.<br /> <br /> But frankly, the season isn’t really over just the games. Basketball is a 12-month sport now with the 24-hour news cycle fueling it. One of the next phases are more players declaring for the NBA Draft. And already one guy’s Top 25 for next season came out today. Please…<br /> <br /> I have seen enough basketball. It’s time to rest my eyes and enjoy another season. That would be baseball.<br /> <br /> 2013/04/ncaa-basketball-its-over.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-5967624799825332230Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:04:00 +00002013-04-05T13:04:36.439-07:00Baylor Universitycollege basketballCory JeffersonIowa HawkeyesMadison Square GardenNBANITNCAA Basketball: This Guy was Major Iowa PainOutside of Iowa and Baylor fans, limited interest was generated by the NIT Final. Only about 5,000 people were in attendance at Madison Square Garden and who know how few watched the game on ESPN.<br /> <br /> But going into last night’s (Thursday) game, this figured to be an interesting game. These two squads had only met once before.<br /> <br /> I thought Iowa would win the game. The Hawks were on a roll and seemed too powerful for the Bears. Baylor had an up-and-down year and I didn’t know what team Baylor would display in the contest.<br /> <br /> But wow, it was blowout city for Baylor.<br /> <br /> Hawkeye players will have bad memories of one particular Baylor player—Cory Jefferson. In no disrespect to the Thanksgiving meal, Jefferson carved Iowa up. The guy was impressive. He scored 23 points on too many dunks. He rebounded, he played defense.<br /> <br /> Jefferson, a junior, had a great year. He played sparely in his previous two years and even took a redshirt year in his sophomore year. Jefferson played behind three future NBA players, so it wasn’t like the guy had major minute opportunities. He could have transferred but he stayed and collected the fruits this year.<br /> <br /> Baylor fans hope he returns for his senior season. His pro stock definitely went up during Baylor’s postseason. Iowa players would agree with that. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2013/04/ncaa-basketball-this-guy-was-major-iowa.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-6124682131909792619Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:13:00 +00002013-04-04T08:13:24.518-07:00college basketballFlorida InternationalLouisvilleMinnesota GophersNCAA college basketballRich PitinoRick PitinoTubby SmithNCAA Basketball: Strange Coaching HireSometimes I just shake my head at my neighbors in Minnesota.<br /> <br /> After the University of Minnesota fired basketball coach Tubby Smith, the Gophers needed to make an impressive hire. But apparently nobody wanted the job. I do know the rumor that one of the student managers even turned down the job isn’t true.<br /> <br /> The Gophers welcome Rich Pitino to the job. Yes, Pitino is the son of the famous Louisville coach Rick Pitino. Yes, the guy has good blood lines but can he mold a so-so Big Ten contender into something better. <br /> <br /> Kid Pitino had one successful season at Florida International. He will be doing on the job training in one of the toughest basketball leagues in America. Remember, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State isn’t Florida International. <br /> <br /> Minnesota took forever to make their selection. As the process played out, you knew others were making their selection not to take the Gopher job.<br /> <br /> If you are Kid Pitino there is little risk. If you are Minnesota, there is great risk.<br /> <br /> The Gophers haven’t exactly been making waves in the money sports of football and basketball lately. This hire may continue the tread.<br /> <br /> 2013/04/ncaa-basketball-strange-coaching-hire.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-87157782906412399Tue, 02 Apr 2013 16:18:00 +00002013-04-02T09:18:04.533-07:00college basketballFinal FourGregg MarshallLouisvilleMichiganNCAA basketball tournamentShockersSyracuse OrangemenWichita StateNCAA Basketball Tournament: Thank-You Wichita State<br /> It’s great that Wichita State earned a trip to the Final Four. The Shockers appearance will draw one tall fellow to the television set.<br /> <br /> We need new blood in the championship round and as a ninth-seed the Shockers provide it. As their nickname represents, they have shocked many people in still standing in the tournament.<br /> <br /> Many people picked their semi-final opponent Louisville to win the championship. But the Shockers shouldn’t be frightened as they have already taken out the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in their regions. Louisville should win, but should wins are only decided on paper. Wichita State needs to “play angry” as its coach Gregg Marshall says and it will be in the game.<br /> <br /> Syracuse and Michigan play in the other game. Yawn. These teams like Louisville have been in this spot consistently and it doesn’t draw much interest for the tall fellow.<br /> <br /> Hopefully, the Shockers can shock again and appear in the Monday night championship game. Then the tall fellow will need to watch, otherwise not so much. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2013/04/ncaa-basketball-tournament-thank-you.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-7780361395873383041Sat, 30 Mar 2013 20:31:00 +00002013-03-30T13:33:26.932-07:00college basketballIowa HawkeyesJohn WoodenMissouri State BearsNCAA basketball tournamentNew MexicoSteve AlfordUCLASteve Alford: UCLA And IowaSteve Alford is an interesting hire at UCLA. He had some solid success at New Mexico, but will the former Indiana star be able to “step it up” and find success in Los Angeles<br /> <br /> People in my state (Iowa) are always interested in Alford. He coached the Iowa Hawkeyes for a number of years. The honeymoon started well when Iowa landed him off a Sweet 16 performance at then Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State). He won a Big Ten Tournament Championship at Iowa but also loss an NCAA tournament game to No. 14 seeded Northwestern State. When New Mexico offered Alford its coaching job, many Iowa fans were happy to see Alford leave.<br /> <br /> UCLA is counting on Alford to continue his success from New Mexico. Alford has proven he can win consistently on the mid-major level, but the power conference job success is still up for debate.<br /> <br /> It seems a good risk for UCLA. However, Alford knows the guy he is replacing brought UCLA to two Final Fours. The learning curve won’t be long. And then there is always the John Wooden factor. The most successful NCAA Division I coach in history raised the bar extremely high at UCLA.<br /> <br />2013/03/steve-alford-and-ucla.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-4024193487143662068Fri, 29 Mar 2013 20:30:00 +00002013-03-29T13:30:36.263-07:00college basketballFred HoibergIowa State CyclonesMinnesota GophersNBANCAA basketball tournamentThe MayorIowa State's Fred Hoiberg Has More CapitalIt’s a fun time of the college basketball year with the NCAA tournament and the coaching rumors and destination.<br /> <br /> One guy who isn’t going anyway is Iowa State’s men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg. “The Mayor” agreed to a contact extension Thursday night that with give him 10 years and $20 million. Not bad loot for the former Iowa State ball boy.<br /> <br /> I didn’t think Hoiberg would leave Iowa State at this time but there were plenty of rumors out there. There was talk about the NBA and lately the opening at Minnesota. Hoiberg allegedly met with the Gophers about their opening. What took place and the level of Hoiberg’s interest is anybody’s guess. <br /> <br /> Successful coaches are a hot commodity. Some go shopping and then find a sweeter deal at their present place of employment. This happens frequently. I’m not saying Hoiberg did this but he was the beneficiary of the media speculation. Hoiberg received a nice raise.<br /> <br /> I believe him when he says he loves Iowa State. And the Iowa State administration decided it would tell the basketball world that they love Fred Hoiberg. <br /> <br /> This marriage is going well in Ames, Iowa. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2013/03/iowa-states-fred-hoiberg-has-more.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-2258900168771383955Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:44:00 +00002013-03-27T07:44:40.830-07:00Andy EnfieldCinderellacollege basketballFloridaFlorida Gulf CoastNCAA basketball tournamentNCAA men's basketball tournamentSweet 16NCAA Basketball Tournament: Florida Gulf Coast<br /> <br /> We all enjoy Cinderella in the NCAA basketball tournament. This year we have the ultimate Cinderella in Florida Gulf Coast. <br /> <br /> A No. 15 seed has never advanced to the Sweet 16 in the history of the NCAA tournament until Florida Gulf Coast crashed the party.<br /> <br /> This team didn’t follow the NCAA script. Usually underdogs surprise the favorite in their opening game. The underdog received national praise and talk and then goes quietly in the next round.<br /> <br /> But will this feel-good story end Friday when the Gulf boys play big-bad Florida? You would like to see them continue the magic but with the strength of their opponent and natural pressure (as the stakes get higher) the odds are not in their favor.<br /> <br /> The beauty is that the game will be decided between a couple of baskets and not in discussion groups.<br /> <br /> Win or loss, Florida Gulf Coast Coach Andy Enfield will become a hot commodity. What big time program will want this guy and will he go? You would think the answer to the second question is “Yes.” <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2013/03/ncaa-basketball-tournament-florida-gulf.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-2104308538363557339Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:50:00 +00002013-03-25T08:50:30.281-07:00Aaron CraftIowa State CyclonesMarch MadnessNCAA basketball tournamentOhio StateSweet 16NCAA Basketball Tournament: March is CruelIowa State found out Sunday, March can become a cruel time.<br /> <br /> The Cyclones were one play away from forcing overtime against Ohio State. They were maybe 1-2 plays from snatching the victory. Buckeye point guard Aaron Craft took care of all those possibilities when he drilled a three-pointer with less than one second remaining.<br /> <br /> The Cyclones were done. Finished. Over. It was time to turn to the “What ifs.”<br /> <br /> Iowa State entered the game as a real underdog to No. 2 seeded Ohio State. Cyclone fans knew their team had an excellent change however for an upset. Mid-way through the second half, it looked like Ohio State was going to deliver the knockout punch. The Buckeyes held a double digit lead, but then Iowa State marched back to set up a thrilling, but painful finish for Cyclo
