Prambanan is the ninth century Hindu temple compound in Central Java, Indonesia, dedicated to Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Sustainer (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva). The temple compound located approximately 18 km east of Yogyakarta cityon the boundary between Yogyakarta and Central Java province.

The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, currently is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, and is one of the largest Hindu temples in south-east Asia. It is characterised by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the towering 47m high central building inside a large complex of individual temples.

Contemporary Events

In the early 1990s the government removed the market that had sprung up near the temple and transformed the surrounding villages and rice paddies into an archaeological park. The park covers a large area, from Yogyakarta-Solo main road in the south, encompassing the whole Prambanan complex, the ruins of Lumbung and Bubrah temples, and as far as the Sewu temple compound in the north. In 1992 the Indonesian government created a State-owned Limited Liability Enterprise (PERSERO) of PT Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan, dan Ratu Boko. This enterprise is the authority for the park management of Borobudur Prambanan Ratu Boko and the surrounding region.

The open-air and indoor stages on the west side of the temple right across the Opak river, were built to stage the Ramayana ballet. This traditional Javanese dance is the centuries old dance of the Javanese court, performed every full moon night in the Prambanan temple since the 1960s. Since then, Prambanan has become one of the major archaeological and cultural tourism attractions in Indonesia.

After the reconstruction of the main temples in 1990s, Prambanan once again reclaim its status as an important religious center for Hindurituals and ceremonies in Java. The religious significance revival of Prambanan was due to Balinese and Javanese Hindu communities in Yogyakarta and Central Java that annually perform their sacred ceremonies in Prambanan, such as Galungan, Tawur Kesanga, and Nyepi.

Traffic on roads may consist of pedestrians, ridden or herded animals, vehicles, streetcars and other conveyances, either singly or together, while using the public way for purposes of travel.
Traffic is formally organized in many jurisdictions, with marked lanes, junctions, intersections, interchanges, traffic signals, or signs. Traffic is often classified by type: heavy motor vehicle examples : car, truck; other vehicle examples : moped, bicycle; and pedestrian. Different classes may share speed limits and easement, or may be segregated. Some jurisdictions may have very detailed and complex rules of the road while others rely more on drivers' common sense and willingness to cooperate.

2.St. George(England)

A story dating back to the 6th century tells that St George rescued a maiden by slaying a fearsome fire-breathing dragon. The Saint’s name was shouted as a battle cry by English knights who fought beneath the red-cross banner of St George during the Hundred Years War (1338-1453).

The national emblem and national flower of England is a red rose

The flower has been adopted as England’s emblem since the time of the Wars of the Roses – civil wars (1455-1485) between the royal house of Lancaster (whose emblem was a red rose) and the royal house of York (whose emblem was a white rose).

St.Andrew(Scotland)

St. Andrew was one of Christ’s twelve apostles. Some of his bones are said to have been brought to what is now St. Andrews in Fife during the 4th century. Since medieval times the X-shaped saltire cross upon which St. Andrew was supposedly crucified has been the Scottish national symbol.

The national emblem and national flower of Scotland is the thistle, a prickly-leaved purple flower which was first used in the 15th century as a symbol of defence.

The Scottish Bluebell is also seen as the flower of Scotland.

St.Patrick(Northern Ireland)

Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. He was born in Wales somewhere around AD 385. He was carried off by pirates and spent six years in slavery before escaping and training as a missionary.

The most famous story about Saint Patrick is him driving the snakes from Ireland. He died on 17th March in AD 461 and this day has since been commemorated as St. Patrick’s Day.

The national emblem of Ireland is the Shamrock. Patrick used the three-leaved shamrock to explain how the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit could exist as separate parts of the same being. His followers took to wearing a shamrock in celebration.

St Patrick’s day is marked by the wearing of shamrocks (a clover-like plant), the national emblem of both Northern Ireland.

3.This is a very difficult question to answer because it assumes that it is an easy thing to do. This is because the history of the conflict in the area known as Northern Ireland is over 400 years old. The basic story is that the English held power in Ireland. Ireland was a Catholic country, so to show their power and to help their cause, the English moved Scottish Protestants into the part known as Northern Ireland. Over the years, their decedents have made the area their home and don't think it’s fair that they should have to let the Catholics take control of the area because they have the rest of Ireland to live in. So that is the basic reason that you cannot have a united Ireland.
This is a very sensitive subject and what you read above is very simplified, however, it should give a person with no knowledge grounding as to why there is a conflict there.

Pengorbanan adalah keinginan seseorang yang tulus untuk melakukan sesuatu tanpa mengharapkan balasan apapun dari orang yang kita sayangi atau sesuatu yang kita sukai yang pada akhirnya mengorbankan perasaan kita sendiri demi kepentingan orang lain atau orang banyak.
Pengorbanan menyangkup dalam berbagai aspek, seperti :
• Pengorbanan dalam keluarga

Kita pun sering mengalaminya dalam kehidupan kita, karena keluarga adalah harta yang paling berharga yang kita miliki. Pengorbanan yang kita lakukan atas dasar rasa sayang kepada orang yang kita sayangi, agar tercipta keluarga yang abadi dan harmonis.
Contohnya : seorang kakak yang mau bekerja keras untuk membiayai adiknya sekolah. Karena kasih sayng yang sangat tulus terhadap adiknya sendiri ia merelakan penghasilannya untuk sekolah adiknya, agar ia pun bisa meringankan beban orang tuanya.
• Pengorbanan dalam percintaan

Kita sering menemuinya dalam kehidupan kita bahkan kita pun sering mengalaminya. Terkadang pengorbanan dalam percintaan tidak tulus dari dalam hati karena pengorbanan yang kita lakukan cenderung lebih karena kita tidak ingin mengecewakan pasangan kita, sehingga kita melakukannya karena terpaksa.
Contonya : Siska mempunyai seorang pacar bernama adit. Kasih sayang siska terhadap adit membuatnya posesive, yang terkadang membuat adit menjadi jenuh akan sikap siska terhadapnya. Namun karna adit tidak ingin mengecewakan siska, ia pun bertahan untuk tetap menjalani hubungannya dengan siska(mengorbankan perasaannya).
• Pengorbanan dalam persahabatan
Pengorbanan yang dilakukan oleh seorang untuk sahabatnya, saat dimana sahabatnya membuat kesalahan sehingga kita terkadang harus berkorban perasaan karena kecewa. Walaupun pengorbanan dalam lingkup persahabatn tidak harus membuat kita merasa tertekan seperti dalam lingkup percintaan karena kita bis alebih bebas dalam mengungkapkannya kepada sahabat kita tentang pengorbanan kita(suka atau tidak).
Contohnya : Dini, tika dan rina adalah sahabatan. Mereka selalu bersama, namun disuatu hari tika melakukan kesalahan yang sering sekali ia lakukanterhadap kedua sahabatnya dini dan rina, sehingga mereka marah dan kecewa terhadap tika karena tika pun tak kunjung ada perubahan, mereka pun pergi meninggalkan tika.dan tika pun hanya bisa menyesali perbuatannya sendiri itu yang membuat persahabatan mereka pecah.
• Pengorbanan dalam pekerjaan
Kita di tuntut akan loyalitas kita terhadap pekerjaan dimana ssat perusahhan membutuhkan kita untuk waktu yang lebih sebisa mungkin kita harus meluangkan waktu kita.
Contohnya : sekretaris yang harus selalu meluangkan waktunya untuk menjalankan tugasnya kepada bosnya. Perusahaan terkadang melakukan perjalanan ke berbagai kota yang dituntut sekretaris ikut bersama bosnya. Padahal sekretaris itu empunyai keluarga yang harus ditinggalkan demi pekerjaannya.
