Deaf Barista Brutally Stabbed, Robbed
Deaf News: Thembelihle Quze, who is Deaf and works at the coffee cafe, was robbed at knifepoint and stabbed.
CAPE TOWN -- Cape Argus: A Deaf man from Gugulethu who survived a near-death experience when he was stabbed twice in the chest and arm during an armed robbery said he fears for his life. Thembelihle Quze, 23, who recently re-integrated in society when he started working at a coffee shop in Claremont, said Saturday’s attack had made him vulnerable again. He was stabbed while walking home after visiting a friend near his home in Gugulethu NY111.
“Two men came walking towards me, I saw them talking but was not able to hear what they were saying. The one guy came up to me and demanded money. I tried to tell them I didn’t have any, but they weren’t even paying attention to me as I signed. The one guy pocketed me and then stabbed me.”
The two men fled the scene and Quze was helped by neighbours who had seen him. “I could not scream for help. I feel they targeted me because I am deaf; right now I am too scared to leave the house, I have no one to chat to,” Quze said, speaking through a sign language interpreter. For the past seven months, Quze had been working at I Love Coffee in Claremont as a barista. At the coffee shop, which comprise mostly Deaf employees, he acquired social and life skills training which is said to have helped him interact with others.
Quze had started gym training and was also teaching clients sign language. A part of his job also included travelling to Joburg which his father, Mbuyiselo Mbali, said encouraged Quze to be more social. “He refuses to leave the house and we, too, fear for his life. In this area, Deaf people are targets. My son right now is in pain, the stitches in his chest are bleeding. This is not right,” said Mbali. He said the incident changed his son. Coffee shop owner, Gary Hopkins said the sweat classes at the gym had helped Quze defend himself during the robbery.
He said the coffee shop, which employs mostly Deaf youth as part of its social enterprise work, hired Deaf people to escape violence and to boost the employment rate. Part of the work programme includes life skills training. “Most Deaf children grow up in homes where they are overprotected. They become easy targets because they don’t have the necessary life skills. “Thembe (his nickname), because of the gym partnership we have, has become quite an athlete. He was able to protect himself and smart enough not to carry money on him,” said Hopkins.

Deaf People Cross Multiple Divides at the Border
Deaf News: Deaf people cross multiple divides at the United States border.
NOGALES, AZ -- Seated at Taco Yaqui in Nogales, Sonora last Friday, Reggie Holmes of Tucson tried to order lunch from his Spanish-speaking waiter – a familiar challenge for any non-Spanish speaking Arizonan who crosses the border.
But for Holmes, a 31-year-old associate at Goodwill, the cross-cultural interaction is even more complex. He is Deaf, and uses sign language, lip-reading and writing as his primary forms of communication. At first Holmes tried hand gestures with the waiter. But then he noticed the menu written on the wall and rushed over to it. He pointed to the “chiles verdes” tacos and held up four fingers. The waiter understood and Holmes was soon digging into his lunch.
Holmes, who regularly crosses the border for dental visits, doesn’t just navigate the English-Spanish barrier in Mexico, but also the hearing-deaf divide. Even when he meets Deaf Mexicans, he must find creative ways to communicate because he uses American Sign Language (ASL), which employs different symbols and grammar than Mexican Sign Language (LSM by its Spanish acronym).
Most people have encountered situations, while traveling or otherwise, in which they’ve had to find creative ways to communicate. But according to University of Texas linguistics professor David Quinto-Pozos, who studies bilingual language acquisition as well as interaction between ASL and LSM speakers, Deaf people like Holmes are especially skilled at communicating past language barriers, or picking up the local language in border and other multilingual areas.
After all, he said, Deaf people already navigate and communicate in a world designed for those who hear. Read The Full Story - Nogales International.

Philly Police Discriminates Against The Deaf
Deaf News: U.S. Justice Department concludes Philadelphia police discriminate against the Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
PHILADELPHIA, PA -- A U.S. Department of Justice review has found the Philadelphia Police Department discriminated against people who were Deaf or Hearing-Impaired. Philadelphia police handcuffed Deaf people behind their back, thus making them unable to communicate with sign language, DOJ wrote in a Dec. 7 letter to the department. Police did not inform courts that defendants appearing for a video arraignment were Deaf, so the individuals did not understand what was happening, according to the review. And police failed to provide qualified sign-language translators or other services to defendants, victims, and witnesses, according to the review.
DOJ said it was seeking to remedy the problems cooperatively through a consent decree with the department. "In the event that we are unable to reach such a resolution, the Attorney General may initiate a lawsuit pursuant to the [Americans with Disabilities Act]," the letter states. The Police Department issued a statement Friday evening saying it would work with DOJ to fix any problems.
"While the finding and conclusion regarding the complaint are sobering, we appreciate the DOJ's work and their input regarding the matter," the Police Department said. "We are using this as an opportunity to address a legitimate concern and make necessary improvements. The department's goal is to move beyond remedial measures with a commitment to making this department a model for others in adhering to the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act." The Police Department said it would collaborate with the city's Office of the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer and with the Mayor's Commission on People with Disabilities. The Justice Department review was prompted by a complaint from a man who had been arrested, and that led to four other people who alleged discrimination by police.
According to the original complaint:
In 2013, a 23-year-old man who was Deaf was arrested in court after he threw a bracelet hitting two people during a sentencing hearing for his brother. He was handcuffed behind his back, making him unable to use sign language. While in police custody, a radio room staffer was identified as having some sign language ability, but the man could not understand what was being communicated. The man asked for a qualified interpreter, but police ended their attempt to communicate and placed him in detention for 16 hours. During his video arraignment the next morning, the judge was not told he was Deaf and the video was not captioned. Two months later, police arrested him mistakenly for failing to appear in court. His hearing had actually been scheduled for a later date. He was again handcuffed behind his back, but after his mother intervened, the officers cuffed him in the front. When he explained the hearing had been rescheduled, the officers asked for documentation but would not allow him to search for it. After he was detained and released, he asked for a telecommunication system for the deaf, but the one police provided him did not work.

Donald Trump Wins The Presidential Election
VIDEO [CC] - Republican Donald J. Trump has been elected president of the United States of America, Deaf feminists and queers stunned.
WASHINGTON -- CNN: Donald Trump will become the 45th president of the United States, CNN projects, a historic victory for outsiders that represents a stunning repudiation of Washington's political establishment. The billionaire real estate magnate and former reality star needed an almost perfect run through the swing states -- and he got it, winning Ohio, North Carolina and Florida.
The Republican swept to victory over Hillary Clinton in the ultimate triumph for a campaign that repeatedly shattered the conventions of politics to pull off a remarkable upset. Clinton conceded to Trump in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Speaking at a victory party in New York, Trump was gracious toward Clinton and called for unity.
"We owe (Clinton) a very major debt of gratitude to her for her service to our country," Trump said. "I say it is time for us to come together as one united people."
He added: "I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans."
Trump won with 288 electoral votes compared to 215 for Clinton, according to CNN projections. Latest election results.
Trump's supporters embraced his plainspoken style, assault on political correctness and vow to crush what he portrayed in the final days of his campaign as a corrupt, globalized elite -- epitomized by the Clintons -- that he claimed conspired to keep hard-working Americans down.
His winning coalition of largely white, working-class voters suggests a populace desperate for change and disillusioned with an entire generation of political leaders and the economic and political system itself.
Now, Trump faces the task of uniting a nation traumatized by the ugliest campaign in modern history and ripped apart by political divides exacerbated by his own explosive rhetoric -- often along the most tender national fault lines such as race and gender.
Trump is sure to follow his own playbook -- Trump will be the first president to enter the White House with no political, diplomatic or military executive experience. His victory will send shockwaves around the world, given his sparse foreign policy knowledge, haziness over nuclear doctrine, vow to curtail Muslim immigration and disdain for US alliances that have been the bedrock of the post-World War II foreign policy.
His promises to renegotiate or dump trade deals such as NAFTA and to brand China a currency manipulator risk triggering immediate economic shocks around the globe.
Global markets already began tumbling late Tuesday.
Trump, 70, will be the oldest president ever sworn in for a first term and will take the helm of a nation left deeply divided by his scorched-earth campaign. His victory was built on fierce anger at the Washington establishment and political elites among his grass-roots voters, many of whom feel they are the victims of a globalized economy that has resulted in the loss of millions of jobs.
His victory ends Clinton's crusade to become the first woman to ever rise to the nation's highest office. It's a humiliating chapter in the long political career of Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
Trump's win also deals a painful rebuke to President Barack Obama, whom he pursued for years with his birtherism campaign built on the false premise that Obama was born outside the United States. Now Trump will have the power to eviscerate Obama's political legacy -- including the Affordable Care Act, the latter's proudest domestic achievement.
But there are deeper, more fundamental questions about Trump's presidency that will be key to his capacity to unify a deeply divided country and appeal to Americans who will feel outraged and disgusted by his victory.
He's got the attention of the whole world -- Trump's campaign was built on rage, falsehoods and singling out culprits for the ills of modern America, including undocumented migrants, foreign nations such as China and Muslim immigrants.
He mocked a disabled New York Times reporter, vowed to use the power of the presidency to put Clinton in jail and pledged to sue women who accused him of sexual assault.
Trump has promised to build a wall on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it, and to deport undocumented migrants. He has vowed to reintroduce interrogation methods for terror suspects that are more extreme than waterboarding.
So the demeanor that Trump will adopt as president and the manner in which he will behave will be closely watched -- not just in the United States, but among nervous leaders abroad.
One of the many uncertainties about Trump's coming presidency is how his White House will interact with Republicans in Congress - and whether he and GOP leaders will heal their rift from the campaign.
Republicans repelled a Democratic bid to recapture the Senate, giving the GOP control over Capitol Hill and the White House.
That means it would fall to the GOP either to rubber stamp policies likely to mark a break from conservative orthodoxy or to provide a check on the power of Trump, who has shown every sign he will use executive power aggressively.
House Speaker Paul Ryan will face intense pressure from pro-Trump members of his own coalition to cooperate with the new president.
Senate Republicans, meanwhile, are likely to hold Trump's feet to the fire to ensure he lives up to his promise to appoint justices who could ensure a generational conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Clinton apparently failed to reassemble the diverse coalition that helped Obama win the presidency in 2008 and 2012.
The events of Clinton's terrible final week on the campaign -- the revival of her email controversy by FBI Chief James Comey and a damaging drip, drip, drip of revelations by WikiLeaks which her campaign says was orchestrated by Russian intelligence -- could have helped consign her to defeat.
There also is the question of Trump's temperament. Clinton repeatedly warned that he was unfit to control the nuclear codes because he could be baited with a tweet.
Obama passionately denounced Trump as intellectually and temperamentally unfit to succeed him in the Oval Office.
But now, he will be forced to greet his successor on the morning of Inauguration Day in January, and look on while he is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

Nyle DiMarco - Upbringing With My Deaf Family
VIDEO [CC] - Nyle DiMarco: "My Upbringing With My Deaf Family"
Nyle DiMarco does not consider himself to be disabled by deafness and sees his media profile as an opportunity to bring awareness to Deaf culture. He views deafness as an advantage in modeling because he is accustomed to conveying messages without speaking. He also holds the belief that Deaf roles should be played by Deaf actors.
Fact: DiMarco have over 25 Deaf members in his family. Yes, it is genetic; However only 10% are born to Deaf parents. Come and meet his family and learn what Nyle do everyday and with his activism for #DeafTalent. ASL vlog with closed captions.
This video exists because last year I was named "BeYoutiful" by a Deaf owned company, Convo.
DiMarco is a spokesperson for LEAD-K (Language Equality and Acquisition for Deaf Kids). He is also a signer and creative collaborator on The ASL App, an app that teaches conversational ASL.
In 2016, DiMarco started The Nyle DiMarco Foundation. It is a non-profit organization with the purpose of providing more access to resources for Deaf children and their families.

The Deaf Decry Discrimination In Employment
Deaf News: Profoundly Deaf people and Hearing Impaired persons are often the last to be hired and the first to be fired.
New Vision share an article by Cecilia Okoth: "We are often the last to be hired and the first to be fired, potential employers consider our disability over our qualifications and ability to deliver on jobs." The Deaf are concerned that the job market is not fair to them a move they say has worsened their predicament.
"We are often the last to be hired and the first to be fired. Potential employers consider our disability over our qualifications and ability to deliver on jobs," Ambrose Murangira, Uganda National Association of the Deaf (UNAD) executive director, said.
According to Murangira, the lack of a policy by public service ministry to promote employment for marginalized groups makes it worse for people living with disabilities (PWDs) to get and retain any form of employment.
"We have been relegated to working in Disabled People's Organizations (DPOs) and in the informal sector because the chances of getting employed in the public service and mainstream organisations are very limited," he added.
Murangira, also a Deaf and Disability scholar was speaking at a press briefing that was attended by 20 representatives of Deaf graduates sponsored by UNAD at National Theatre early this week.
"This is double jeopardy for us because to study and graduate as a Deaf person means overcoming great odds only to be shunned by the job market," said Rogers Kadoma, one of the graduates.
According to the 2014 census, there are 1.083,456 Deaf persons in the country. However scanty information shows that around 1% are in formal employment.
Doreen Sandra Kauma the gender and vulnerable groups' coordinator at UNAD said without affirmative action, more employers will not feel a sense of obligation to employ the deaf and PWDs as a whole.
A recent Disability Rights Coalition report suggests that employees with disabilities should at all times not be less than 5% for private employers and 10% for the public service.
However the labour market in Uganda presents multiple hurdles for the deaf and PWDs to overcome if they are to be absorbed in the job market. These range from physical access, access to information about vacancies, and self-confidence of PWDs to seek out opportunities because of the unique challenges and what society perceives them as...

A recent Disability Rights Coalition report suggests that employees with disabilities should at all times not be less than 5% for private employers and 10% for the public service.
However the labour market in Uganda presents multiple hurdles for the deaf and PWDs to overcome if they are to be absorbed in the job market. These range from physical access, access to information about vacancies, and self-confidence of PWDs to seek out opportunities because of the unique challenges and what society perceives them as...

Six-Year-Old Deaf Schoolboy On ISIS Hit List
Deaf News: A six-year-old schoolboy facing deportation has begged to stay in the United Kingdom because he is on the ISIS hit list for being Deaf.
LONDON, UK -- The Sun - Lawand Hamadamin fled Iraq with his parents and brother last year after learning that the sick terrorist organisation had ordered the killing of disabled kids by lethal injection.
There were also rumours Al-Qaeda and Islamic State were recruiting young people with disabilities to become suicide bombers.
Mum Golbahar Hussein, 33, and dad Rebwar Golbahayh, 35, set off on a treacherous journey across Europe with Lawand, who was born profoundly Deaf and unable to communicate, and his nine-year-old brother Rawa.
In order to protect Lawand's cochlear implant during his perilous trip across the water, his parents put a plastic bag on his head.
They then spent a year living in a French refugee camp before they came to Britain and settled in Derby.
Lawand got a place at the Royal School for the Deaf in the city, where he has learned to communicate via British Sign Language.
His parents thanked the school for "saving their son's life" and he has continued to thrive with his teachers saying he is making "extraordinary progress."
But this week, his shocked parents were told the devastating news by the Home Office that they are now likely to be deported to Germany and warned they'll be given a week to leave on January 9.
Staff at the non-maintained residential special school say they are heartbroken at the prospect of Lawand leaving.
They are now working with solicitors supported by charity DeafKidz International in a bid to reverse the decision by the Home Office.
Head teacher Helen Shepherd said: "Lawand's family are understandably devastated that they are being deported, especially since he has made such extraordinary progress in the few months he has been with us.
"When Lawand arrived at the school in September, he had no means of communicating with anyone - even his own family.
"In the very short time he has been with us, Lawand has made exceptional progress.
"He is signing incredibly well and we have been so proud of him - he has made good friends, has grown in confidence and exceeded all our expectations.
"It is inconceivable that he should be removed from the school when he has only just begun.
"Lawand's cochlear implant processor has broken and so he has no functioning hearing aid yet.
"He has an appointment this week so that he can get a referral to the Nottingham Cochlear Implant Centre.
"There is little chance that he will get that appointment before the New Year, by which time he could have gone."

Deaf and Dying at the Ottawa Hospital
Deaf News: Deaf and dying: How a volunteer team brings palliative care comfort through communication in the capital of Canada.
OTTAWA -- Ottawa Citizen: The first experience Monica Elaine Campbell had with palliative care was helping a woman who had lost her ability to speak because of throat cancer.
Campbell, profoundly Deaf since birth, is an excellent lip reader and staff at an Ottawa Hospital asked if she could interpret the dying woman’s words. The woman had been communicating with paper and pen, but now was too weak even to do that.
“I was very hesitant. Then I thought, well, the least I could do is give it a try,” said Campbell, who is able to speak despite never having heard a word herself. “I put my hand on her right arm and said, ‘I’ve never done this before. I will try my best.”
WATCH: Video with CC - Ottawa Citizen.
Campbell leaned close as the woman mouthed her words. Campbell repeated it back and had the woman nod yes if she had understood correctly. She spent five hours with the woman, relaying messages between her and her family and the medical team. She was able to interpret about 85 per cent of what the woman told her.
“I came away a different person,” Campbell said. “I was very touched by the experience.”
The dying woman had not been Deaf, but the experience got Campbell thinking about the communication needs of people like herself: the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. A few years later, Campbell was asked to help a Deaf friend who was about to receive bad news about her cancer diagnosis.
“I didn’t know much about palliative care, but she was struggling with her terminal illness,” Campbell said. “I thought, my goodness, what if that was me? I thought, I should talk to my Deaf friends about death and dying and what our experiences have been.”
Those conversations led Campbell and her friend, sign language interpreter Christine Wilson, to start up the Ottawa Deaf Palliative Care Team, a group of volunteers that provide end-of-life care for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and their families. In 1999, she enrolled in palliative care courses at Algonquin College with two Deaf colleagues (the Deaf use a capital D to refer to the sub-culture of people who communicate with sign language; “Hard of Hearing” are those who have lost some or most of the hearing but can still use some speech, sometimes augmented with sign language; the “Deafened” or “Oral Deaf” have lost some or all of their hearing, but either learned to speak before their deafness or, like Campbell, learned to speak despite it.)

Deaf Woman Found Burned On The Street
Deaf News: Police: Woman found burned on Dale Street in Rochester.
ROCHESTER, NY -- Rochester Police say that a woman was found burned on Dale Street on Sunday, and the incident is being investigated as a suicide attempt.
News10NBC does not normally report on suicides, but many people in the area had questions about what happened on Sunday in broad daylight.
Officers say they were called to a home on Dale Street around, where they found a woman on fire in a field located on a empty lot of the street.
The woman, reportedly somewhere between 40 and 50 years of age, was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital, where she is in guarded condition.
Tony Alonzo Thompson- a neighbor of the woman- was among those who found her. He was walking around the neighborhood when he found her, and immediately called 911.
"I'm trying to tell her, 'ma'am, it's gonna be alright.' I'm telling her it's gonna be alright. It's going to be alright.... but I'm crying because I knew her."
"She's looking right at," he said, "She's Deaf... and she pointed. She's naked, her pants are down to her ankles... and she was smoking."
Holly Mortensen, who lives across from the field where the woman was found, is still in shock over what happened.
"That's a little too close to home, that's my first reaction."
Mortensen was awakened by the police and firefighters that had arrived in the neighborhood, and when she looked outside, she saw one of her neighbors on fire.
"She wasn't moving, she was just laying there at the middle of the field," she recalls, "The EMTs put a respirator on her, or a resuscitator on her."
Fire and police have confirmed the event is now being investigated as a suicide attempt and that there is no danger to the public. Because of the sensitivity of the situation, News10NBC will not be releasing the name of the woman.

Fungsi Alat Bantu Copy-Paste Membunuh Kreativitas
Fungsi Alat Bantu Copy-Paste Membunuh Kreativitas
Apa itu fungsi alat bantu copy-paste? Anda pasti pernah atau sering mengcopy-paste suatu file dalam bentuk teks dari sebuah website atau blog di internet. Namun apakah Anda tahu dan sadar bahwa Anda secara perlahan telah membunuh kreativitas Anda dalam menulis?
Perkembangan teknologi informasi khususnya komputer saat ini memang sudah sangat cepat. Para developer atau pengembang aplikasi perangkat lunak komputer telah membuat berbagai macam fungsi dan alat bantu untuk memudahkan user atau pengguna dalam menggunakan komputer. Saya pribadi sebagai salah seorang pengguna alat elektronik ini merasa sangat terbantu dengan adanya komputer.
Seperti yang kita tahu, dahulu komputer adalah alat elektronik yang sangat sederhana. Komputer ketika pertama kali diciptakan hanyalah sebagai alat bantu hitung dalam perhitungan aritmatika. Baru kemudian setelah mengalami perkembangan dan peningkatan komputer digunakan sebagai alat bantu untuk melakukan hal-hal yang tdak berhubungan dengan matematika.
Banyaknya perkembangan atau peningkatan fungsi alat bantu pada sebuah komputer masa kini seringkali membuat para pengguna terbuai dan manja. Para pengguna senantiasa menggunakan fungsi dan alat bantu tersebut secara berlebihan dan menurut saya telah menyalahi tujuan.
Tujuan diciptakannya fungsi dan alat bantu pada sebuah komputer adalah untuk membantu pengguna dalam mengolah data, menyimpan data, dan menjadikannya sebuah informasi. Namun, apa jadinya jika para pengguna komputer menggunakan fungsi dan alat bantu tersebut untuk hal-hal yang melanggar hukum hak cipta.
Pengertian Fungsi Alat Bantu Copy-Paste
Copy-paste adalah sebuah fungsi alat bantu editor dalam komputer yang terdiri dari dua kata dalam Bahasa Inggris, yaitu; “copy” dan “paste” yang berarti “menyalin” dan “menempel”. Copy-paste (biasa disingkat: copas) adalah salah satu fungsi alat bantu atau tool editor dalam sebuah perangkat elektronik seperti; komputer, ponsel pintar dan sebagainya. Copy-paste digunakan untuk menggandakan suatu file (teks, gambar, suara, video, dsb) secara instan dan identik tanpa harus mengubah atau menghapus file asli.
Penggunaan Fungsi Alat Bantu Copy-Paste
Fungsi copy-paste biasanya digunakan untuk menyalin sebuah data atau file sebagai backup atau cadangan dari file asli. Seseorang yang membutuhkan cadangan file seperti teks atau dokumen akan menggunakan tool editor ini untuk melakukan perintah tersebut karena mudah, cepat, dan instan.
Copy-paste digunakan dengan cara memilih suatu file yang akan digandakan kemudian disalin dan selanjutnya ditempel atau ditempatkan ke tempat lain. Sebagai contoh, ketika kita berniat hendak menyalin atau menggandakan suatu file dalam bentuk teks dari sebuah website/blog di internet, langkah-langkah yang harus dilakukan adalah sebagai berikut:
- Buka website/blog yang berisi file teks yang akan digandakan.
- Arahkan “mouse-pointer” pada karakter pertama teks yang akan digandakan, “hold-click” dan “drag” sampai karakter terakhir teks yang akan digandakan kemudian “release-click”.
- Teks yang telah Anda drag akan ter-block dan berwarna, Kemudian tekan tombol CTRL+C .
- Teks yang Anda block sudah ter-copy, selanjutnya tinggal menempel teks tersebut.
- Buat sebuah file baru dalam bentuk teks (.doc/.txt). Buka file tersebut, lalu tekan tombol CTRL+V.
- Teks yang Anda copy sudah tertempel, selanjutnya simpan file tersebut.
Kelebihan Fungsi Alat Bantu Copy-Paste dan Kekurangannya
Fungsi alat bantu copy-paste memiliki beberapa kelebihan ketika digunakan untuk menyalin sebuah file atau teks, antara lain:
- Mudah. Sesuai namanya, copy-paste. Kita hanya perlu mengcopy sebuah file dan mem-paste nya.
- Tidak terbatas. Artinya kita bisa mengcopy-paste teks atau file sebanyak-banyaknya.
Ada kelebihan, ada juga kekurangan. Disamping dua kelebihan copy-paste diatas, ternyata ada kekurangan jika kita sering mengcopy-paste teks atau tulisan orang lain:
- Manja. Kita akan terbiasa menggunakan copy-paste dalam membuat sebuah tulisan.
- Menghilangkan kreativitas menulis. Karena kita sudah terbiasa mengcopy-paste tulisan hasil karya orang lain.
Pengaruh Fungsi Alat Bantu Copy-Paste Terhadap Kreativitas Menulis
Setelah Anda melakukan percobaan menggunakan alat bantu copy-paste seperti langkah yang saya tulis diatas, bagaimana tanggapan Anda? Mudah dan cepat bukan? Tentu saja. Para pengembang perangkat lunak memang menciptakan fungsi alat bantu copy-paste untuk memudahkan user atau pengguna agar lebih mudah dalam menyalin atau menggandakan suatu file. Anda tidak perlu lagi repot menulis atau mengetik ulang teks yang Anda perlukan.
Namun, bagaimana jika suatu waktu fungsi alat bantu copy-paste tersebut tidak lagi berfungsi atau rusak? Bagaimana cara Anda menyalin teks atau file yang Anda butuhkan? Repot bukan? Belum lagi jika Anda diminta menulis sebuah dokumen dalam bentuk teks dengan cara mengetik di komputer atau laptop Anda, Anda pasti akan langsung panik setengah mati!
Itulah yang saya rasakan saat ini, saya sedang panik dan bingung. Saya diminta oleh salah seorang dosen saya untuk menulis sebuah artikel blog (asli tanpa fungsi alat bantu copy-paste) sebanyak 1500 kata. Ampun Pak! Apa yang harus saya tulis? Bagaimana cara saya menulis dengan baik dan benar? Mampukah saya mengetik dengan lancar dan benar?
Kepanikan saya berlapis ganda, selain karena saya pernah (jika tidak dikatakan sering) mengcopy-paste tulisan orang lain dari internet, saya sebenarnya juga jarang menulis. Artikel ini adalah tulisan asli pertama saya setelah sekian lama tidak menulis. Rasanya seperti orang yang terlalu lama tidur dan bangun secara tiba-tiba. Pusing.
Kebiasaan Copy-Paste Baik atau Buruk?
Ternyata sebuah kebiasaan menggunakan fungsi alat bantu copy-paste itu membuat kita terlena dan manja dengan kebiasaan tersebut. Ketika kita terbiasa hidup atau bekerja dengan suatu alat atau bantuan yang memudahkan hidup kita, kita akan tidak siap ketika alat atau bantuan itu tidak ada atau dilarang digunakan dalam pekerjaan kita.
Dengan kebiasaan kita memakai atau menggunakan alat bantu dalam pekerjaan kita, secara perlahan dan tidak sadar kita juga telah mengikis sedikit-demi sedikit kemampuan dan kreativitas kita (dalam hal ini) untuk menulis dan mengetik.
Menurut Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, kata “menulis” berarti melahirkan pikiran/gagasan atau perasaan dalam bentuk tulisan. Pikiran-pikiran atau gagasan-gagasan yang ada dan terlintas di pikiran kita adalah bahan pokok untuk membuat sebuah tulisan. Masalahnya, bagaimana cara kita menuangkan pikiran dan gagasan tersebut?
Pertama, kita harus menentukan dahulu tema atau ide pokok dari tulisan kita. Selanjutnya, kita membuat kerangka tulisan tentang poin-poin apa saja yang akan ditulis atau disampaikan dalam tulisan kita. Yang terakhir, kita kembangkan kerangka atau poin-poin tersebut.
Menulis memang tidak mudah. Namun jika dicoba dan dilatih secara terus-menerus kita pasti akan bisa dan terbiasa. Kita bisa menulis dengan baik dan benar bahkan bisa juga menjadi penulis professional. Itu semua tidak akan terjadi jika kita sudah manja dan terbuai dengan “alat bantu tulis” yang sebenarnya diciptakan untuk membantu, namun digunakan sebagai kebutuhan pokok dalam pekerjaan kita sehari-hari.
Nah, jika Anda sering menggunakan tools alat bantu copy-paste dalam membuat sebuah karya tulis, sebaiknya Anda mulai mengurangi (jika tidak bisa menghilangkan) kebiasaan tersebut. Karena tools alat bantu copy-paste itu tidak bagus bagi kreativitas dan kemampuan menulis Anda.
Sekian postingan saya pada kesempatan ini, semoga artikel ini bermanfaat bagi saya pribadi dan bagi kita semua. Amiin.

Pecundang Cari Sensasi, Pemenang Kejar Prestasi
Pecundang Cari Sensasi, Pemenang Kejar Prestasi
Pecundang cari sensasi? Apa itu sensasi? Pernahkah Anda membuat sebuah sensasi? Bagaimana perasaan Anda? Apa itu prestasi? Apakah Anda punya prestasi yang bisa Anda banggakan?
Manusia adalah makhluk sosial yang hidup berdampingan dan menjalin hubungan dengan manusia-manusia lain. Seorang manusia tidak bisa hidup tanpa berkomunikasi dan bantuan dari manusia yang lain. Dalam kehidupannya, manusia senantiasa akan selalu membutuhkan bantuan dari manusia lain. Di saat seorang manusia sedang merasa senang dan bahagia, dia membutuhkan manusia lain untuk berbagi kebahagiaannya. Begitu juga sebaliknya, ketika seorang manusia merasa sedih dan gelisah, dia membutuhkan manusia lain untuk mencurahkan kesedihan yang sedang dirasakannya.
Seorang bijak pernah berkata, "Everyone wants to be seen". Setiap orang ingin dilihat. Dilihat oleh dunia, dianggap, dan diakui keberadaannya. Mungkin sudah sifatnya, karena manusia adalah makhluk sosial, bukan antisosial. Mungkin juga karena sifat dasar itulah, manusia mencari sensasi. Karena menurut mereka, dengan sebuah sensasi, mereka akan dilihat, dianggap, dan diakui keberadaannya oleh manusia-manusia lainnya.
Pengertian Sensasi
Menurut Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, kata sensasi berarti sesuatu hal yang merangsang emosi, menggemparkan, juga bisa berarti keonaran. Sensasi juga bisa berarti sesuatu hal baru, unik, dan nyentrik yang dilakukan oleh seseorang dan mendapat respon dengan sebuah perasaan tak terbayangkan dan membuat orang lain penasaran. Sebagai contoh, seorang artis wanita membuat sensasi dengan melakukan sesuatu hal dianggap “gila” oleh orang lain. Misalnya mencukur habis rambutnya sampai botak. Atau seorang pejabat yang membuat sensasi dengan mengeluarkan sebuah pernyataan yang kontroversial dan asing bagi masyarakat sehingga menimbulkan pro dan kontra dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Pertanyaannya, kenapa mereka membuat sensasi? Apa gunanya sebuah sensasi? Sensasi dilakukan atau dibuat untuk mendapat respon atau tanggapan dari orang lain. Seseorang yang membuat sebuah sensasi biasanya akan merasa senang, terkenal, hebat, dan berharga ketika sensasi yang dia buat di respon atau ditanggapi oleh orang lain. Terlebih jika sebuah sensasi yang dibuat tersebut terkenal dan menjadi bahan bincang banyak orang, si pembuat sensasi pasti akan merasa sangat senang dan puas. Semuanya dilakukan hanya untuk tujuan mendapat kesenangan dan kepuasan diri si pembuat sensasi.
Pengertian Prestasi
Menurut Wikipedia, kata prestasi berasal dari bahasa Belanda yang berarti hasil usaha. Prestasi diperoleh dari usaha yang telah dikerjakan. Prestasi bisa dicapai dengan kemampuan intelektual, emosional,dan spiritual, serta ketahanan diri dalam menghadapi situasi segala aspek kehidupan. Prestasi terbagi kedalam dua jenis, yaitu:
Prestasi akademik. prestasi akademik adalah prestasi resmi yang mendapat pengakuan dari lembaga atau organisasi terkait yang dicapai dalam dunia akademik. Misalnya, prestasi mendapat peringkat pertama di kelas atau di sekolah, atau mendapat gelar sarjana dengan peringkat cumlaude.
Prestasi non akademik. Prestasi non akademik adalah prestasi tidak resmi yang dicapai selain atau bukan dalam bidang akademik. Misalnya, juara lomba menulis di blog, atau juara lomba azan dan mengaji antar desa.
Sensasi dan Prestasi, Apa Bedanya?
Seperti yang telah saya paparkan diatas, sensasi adalah suatu hal yang dilakukan untuk kesenangan dan kepuasan ketika mendapat respon atau tanggapan dari orang lain. Sensasi tidak bersifat resmi atau akademik. Sensasi dilakukan oleh seseorang sebagai bentuk ekspresi diri si pembuat sensasi.
Lain halnya dengan prestasi, prestasi adalah hasil yang diakui yang dicapai setelah melakukan sesuatu kegiatan atau perlombaan. Prestasi bersifat historis dan resmi, artinya seseorang yang mendapat prestasi akan dikenang karena kehebatannya dalam membuat prestasi tersebut.
Yang paling penting, prestasi bisa atau patut dibanggakan. Karena prestasi adalah hasil dari sebuah kerja keras. Tidak seperti sensasi yang hanya dianggap cari perhatian semata.
Apa itu Pecundang?
Menurut arti kata, pecundang adalah orang yang kalah dalam sebuah pertandingan atau perlombaan. Pecundang dalam arti luas adalah orang yang kalah dalam sesuatu hal yang dia lakukan dalam hidupnya. Pecundang adalah orang yang lemah. Pecundang tidak mampu bangkit, mereka hanya bisa menggerutu, menyesali, mengumpat, dan terpuruk dalam kekalahannya.
Pecundang Cari Sensasi
Mencari sensasi adalah pecundang? Tentu saja. Kembali ke awal, kenapa saya menulis "pecundang yang hanya mencari sensasi"? Karena menurut saya, memang hanya seorang pecundang yang hanya mencari sensasi. Mungkin Anda tidak setuju dengan pendapat saya, namun tak mengapa, saya terima ketidaksetujuan Anda.
Pecundang akan malu dan menutupi kekalahannya. Mereka tidak ingin orang lain tahu bahwa mereka telah kalah dalam hidup. Pecundang akan membuat tameng pelindung untuk mengalihkan perhatian orang lain terhadap kekalahannya dengan sesuatu hal lain yang instan, menghebohkan, tanpa memerlukan kemampuan khusus yang membuat dia terlihat "hebat" dan "membanggakan". Jalan satu-satunya adalah sensasi. Ya, sensasi bisa membuat pecundang terlihat hebat dan membanggakan.
Apa itu Pemenang?
Pemenang adalah orang yang menang. Lain halnya dengan pecundang, pemenang tidak seperti pecundang. Pemenang memenangi aksi dan reaksi dalam setiap kesempatan dan peluang yang datang dalam hidupnya.
Seorang pemenang bukan yang tidak pernah kalah. Namun dia tahu bagaimana mengambil sikap atas kekalahannya. Pemenang tidak mudah terpuruk dalam kekalahan, mereka mau bangkit, mencoba lagi, lagi, dan lagi. Tanpa menyesal, tanpa menggerutu, atau bahkan mengumpat menyalahi keadaan dan meratapi nasib.
Pemenang Kejar Prestasi
Mengejar prestasi adalah tujuan para pemenang. Seseorang yang berprestasi layak disebut pemenang. Kenapa? karena prestasi didapat dari hasil kerja keras dan pengorbanan. Kerja keras dan pengorabanan adalah ciri-ciri seorang pemenang. Pemenang akan dan terus mengejar prestasi, bukan hanya sekedar mencari sensasi. Pemenang mengganggap sensasi adalah hal yang tidak berguna dan tidak bisa dibanggakan.
Prestasi atau Sensasi?
Pilih sensasi? Boleh saja. Semua orang mungkin akan ingat bahwa seseorang pernah membuat sebuah sensasi. Namun itu tidak bertahan lama, hanya sebatas hiburan semata. Orang akan lupa dengan sendirinya, karena menurut saya itu adalah hal percuma dan tidak berharga. Lain halnya dengan prestasi yang diraih atau diukir oleh seseorang. Orang-orang akan mengingat dan mengenang prestasi yang diukir oleh para pemenang.
Ada sebuah cerita, seorang pelajar atau mahasiswa membuat sebuah prestasi dengan melakukan sebuah percobaan atau penelitian. Seringkali mahasiswa tersebut mengalami kegagalan dalam riset atau percobaannya. Berbagai komentar dan tanggapan muncul dari teman-teman serta dari para dosen.
Ada sebagian teman yang mendukung dan menyarankan mahasiswa tersebut untuk terus melakukan riset dan percobaannya, namun ada sebagian “teman” lainnya yang berkomentar miring terhadap penelitian yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa tersebut. Mereka menganggap bahwa apa yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa tersebut adalah hal yang sia-sia dan buang-buang waktu. Namun, si mahasiswa yang berjiwa pemenang tersebut tetap bersikukuh dan melanjutkan penelitiannya tersebut.
Akhirnya, setelah melakukan beberapa pengkajian ulang dan perbaikan mahasiswa tersebut berhasil menemukan sebuah inovasi baru yang berguna untuk bidang pendidikan dari hasil penelitiannya. Inovasi tersebut diperkenalkan kepada para pejabat kampus hingga mendapat pengakuan serta meraih penghargaan dari pemerintah.
Lucunya, setelah apa yang dilakukan dan dicapai dan diraih oleh mahasiswa “sang pemenang” itu, beberapa teman “pecundang” yang tadinya berkomentar miring terhadap dia datang kepadanya sambil berkata, “Kami meremehkan kamu dulu untuk memotivasi kamu”.

Cara Menata Ruang Kantor
Tata Ruang Kantor
Office Layout atau disebut Layout tata ruang kantor yakni, mengatur perabotan, mesin, dan lain-lain di dalam ruangan yang tersedia. Beberapa pakar mendefinisikan layout atau tata ruang kantor antara lain adalah : Littlefield dan Peterson, tata ruang kantor adalah penyusunan perabotan dan alat perlengkapan yang ada pada luas area lantai yang tersedia. Drs.The Liang Gie, tata ruang adalah menyusunan peralatan pada letak yang tepat dan pengaturan kerja yang dapat memberikan kepuasan aktifitas bekerja untuk para karyawan. George Terry disadur juga oleh The Liang Gie, tata ruang kantor ialah penentuan mengenai kebutuhan dalam penggunaan ruang secara detail dari ruangan untuk mempersiapkan suatu penataan yang praktis dari faktor fisik yang dianggap penting untuk kegiatan kerja perkantoran dengan dana yang sesuai.
TUJUAN dari TATA RUANG KANTOR :
Pekerjaan dalam proses kegiatannya bisa menempuh jarak yang sependek mungkin.
Segala kegiatan tata usaha bisa mengalir dengan lancar.
Semua ruang dimanfaatkan secara efektif untuk mendukung pekerjaan.
Kesehatan dan kepuasan bekerja para pegawai dapat terpelihara.
Kepuasan dan kesehatan bekerja bagi karyawan dapat terpelihara
Kontrol terhadap karyawan bisa berlangsung secara memuaskan.
Tamu yang berkunjung ke kantor bisa mendapatkan kesan baik tentang instansi atau organisasi tersebut.
Memisahkan aktifitas pekerjaan gaduh yang dapat menggangu pekerjaan.
Menghindar dari terjadinya kemungkinan saling menggangu antar karyawan.
Menyusun tempat kerja yang sewaktu-waktu berubah jika diperlukan.
ASAS POKOK TATA RUANG KANTOR
Jarak Pendek, proses kegiatan pekerjaan bisa ditempuh dengan jarak sependek mungkin.
Rangkaian Kerja, menempatkan para karyawan dan peralatan kantor sejalan dengan urutan penyelesaian pekerjaan. Asas ini melengkapi asas jarak pendek yakni pencapaian para karyawan atau peralatan diletakan berderet menurut alur proses penyelesaian pekerjaan tersebut. Asas ini, pekerjaan senantiasa bergrak maju dari awal dikerjakan sampai dengan selesai dan seharusnya tidak ada gerkan mundur atau menyilang, hal ini bukan berarti jalan yang ditempuh harus sesuai berbentuk garis lurus, yang terpenting adalah prosesnya selalu mengarah maju depan menuju proses penyelesaian.
Penggunaan Segenap Ruang, mempergunakan semaksimal dan sepenuhnya semua ruangan yang ada, tidak hanya berupa lantai atau ruang datar melainkan ruang vertikal ke atas maupun kebawah sehingga ruang bisa dimanfaatkan dengan baik.
Perubahan Susunan Tempat Kerja, tata ruang yang bisa diubah atau disusun kembali dengan mengalami kesulitan serta tidak memakan dana yang besar.
PRINSIP TATA RUANG KANTOR
Menganalis arus kerja karyawan berhubungan dengan peralata dan informasi
Meminimalisir terjadinya backtracking dan crisscossing dan mengkondisikan arus aktifitas kerja supaya bergerak pada bentuk garis lurus.
Tim kerja maupun karyawan dalam melakukan aktifitas pekerjaan yang sama harus ditempatkan dalam area ruanga yang berdekatan.
Divisi dan karyawan yang berinteraksi degan publik ditempatkan dekat dengan pintu masuk area kantor.
Tim kerja maupun karyawan yang memiliki kebutuhan konsentrasi tinggi wajib ditempatkan di area ruang dengan suasana cukup tenang.
Mengalokasikan ruangan harus berdasarkan posisi pekerjaan yang dilakukan dengan peralatan khusus yang dibutuhkan masing-masing individu.
Peralatan dan furnitur harus disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan.
Lorong ruangan harus nyaman dan luas sebagai antisipasi aktifitas pekerjaan yang efektif dari dari karyawan.
Faktor keamanan menjadi prioritas tinggi.
Ruang terbuka yang luas lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan ruang kecil tertutup
Penempatan yang tepat dekorasi dan alat penyejuk ruangan, kelembaban serta kontrol suara
Perencanaan kebutuhan perluasan ruang kantor untuk masa akan datang.
Pekerjaan harus datang ke karyawan, tapi bukan sebaliknya.
Pedoman Penyusunan Tata Ruang Kantor
1. Meja-meja kerja disusun menurut garis lurus dan menghadap ke jurusan yang sama.
Pada tata ruang terbuka, susunanan meja-meja kerja dapat terdiri dari beberapa baris.
3. Diantara beberapa baris disediakan (lorong ) untuk lalu lintas pegawai yang lebarnya 80 cm. Bila ruangan itu cukup luas, disediakan lorong utama yang lebarnya 120 cm.
4. Jarak antara meja dimuka dengan meja dibelakangnya disediakan jarak 80 cm.
5. Menempatkan meja pimpinan didepan para pegawai adalah cara yang selama ini dipakai di Indonesia, agar pimpinan dapat mengawasi staf dengan baik. Atau sebaliknya, dengan maksud agar pegawai tidak tertekan karena merasa diawasi.
6. Pada tata ruang terbuka dimana ditempatkan beberapa unit kerja, kepada masing-masing unit harus berdekatan dengan kelompok pegawainya.
7. Bagi pimpinan yang sifatnya kerjaannya, sering membahas pekerjaan-pekerjaan yang sifatnya rahasia, sering menerima tamu, perlu dibuatkan ruangan tersendiri dilengkapi dengan meja pertemuan dan ruangan tamu. Ruangan ini disebut kantor pribadi. Ukuran kantor peribadi disesuikan dengan kebutuhan, tetapi paling kecil berukuran 2,5 m x 3,5 m. 8)
8. Pegawai yang mengerjakan pekerjaan lembut, misalnya mencatat angka-angka, menggambar, dan harus disediakan ruangan dengan penerangan yang cukup.
9. Pegawai yang melakukan pekerjaan yang mempunyai resiko tinggi, misalnya kasir, harus ditempatkan diruangan yang aman.
10. Pegawai yang tugasnya mengadakan hubungan dengan pihak luar, harus ditempatkan dibidang ruangan dekat pintu.
11. Pegawai yang tugasnya berhubungan dengan lemari, rak-rak atau filling tempat surat, harus ditempatkan berdekatan dengan peralatan tersebut, contoh petugas arsip/arsiparis ditempatkan tidak jauh dari tempat bekerja.
12. Alat-alat yang menimbulkan suara, sebaiknya, ditempatkan diruangan tersendiri.Bila hal ini tidak memungkinkan, alat-alat tersebut ditempatkan didekat jendela agar sebagian suaranya terbuang keluar.
13. Lemari yang berat atau lemari besi, sebaiknya ditempatkan menempel ketembok atau tiang agar dapat menyangga.
Langkah-Langkah Merancang Tata Ruang Kantor
1. Langkah pertama adalah mempelajari jenis-jenis pekerjaan yang akan dilakukan dalam ruanganitu, dan prosedur dalam pekerjaan tersebut. Dengan cara ini akan dapat diketahui urutan-urutanpelaksanaan pekerjaan mulai langkah pertama pekerjaan itu dilakukan sampai pekerjaan itu selesai.Dari urutan-urutan pelaksanaan pekerjaan itu dapat diketahui juga jumlah pegawai yang diperlukandan sekaligus dapat diketahui jumlah meja kerja yang diperlukan.
2. Bedasarkan hasil kajian tentang prosedur penyelesaian pekerjaan, maka langkah selanjutnya, yaitu membuat denah ruangan yang akan ditata sekaligus ditata dengan skala tertentu. Pada denahini harus dicantumkan juga dimana letak pintu, jendela, tiang, tangga, penerangan, air conditioning(AC), dan sebagainya.
3. Setelah diketahui semua, untuk menentukan letak meja-meja kerja dan peralatan lainya secarabaik, terlebih dahulu harus dibuat guntingguntingan kertas/karton dengan skala tertentu yangmenggambarkan luas meja, kursi, lemari dan perlengkapan lainnya.
4. Selanjutnya tata ruang dirancang dengan cara menjejerkan guntinganguntingan kertas tersebutpada denah ruangan. Guntingan-guntingan kertas/karton itu sedemikian rupa hinggamenggambarkan susunan yang paling baik yaitu semua syarat-syarat dalam teknik tata ruang sepertidiuraikan diatas udah dipenuhi, dan disesuaikan dengan arus pekerjaan yang harus dilaksanakan.Setelah susunan terbaik dapat diketahui, kemudian gunting-gunting kertas itu di rekatkankepadadenah ruangan.Rancangan ini merupakan pola bagi langkah berikutnya.
5. Selanjutnya anda menempatkan meja-meja kerja dan peralatan lainnya, tinggal menempatkanperalatan tersebut dengan berpedoman kepada rancangan/pola yang sudah dibuat
