Semut by Christine Helliwell Pdf

March 1945. A handful of young Allied operatives are parachuted into the remote jungled heart of the Japanese-occupied island of Borneo, east of Singapore, there to recruit the island's indigenous Dayak peoples to fight the Japanese. Yet most have barely encountered Asian or indigenous people before, speak next to no Borneo languages, and know little about Dayaks, other than that they have been - and may still be - headhunters. They fear that on arrival the Dayaks will kill them or hand them over to the Japanese. For their part, some Dayaks have never before seen a white face. So begins the story of Operation Semut, an Australian secret operation launched by the organisation codenamed Services Reconnaisance Department - popularly known as Z Special Unit - in the final months of WWII. Anthropologist Christine Helliwell has called on her years of first-hand knowledge of Borneo, interviewed more than one hundred Dayak people and all the remaining Semut operatives, and consulted thousands of military and other documents to piece together this astonishing story. Focusing on the operation's activities along two of Borneo's great rivers - the Baram and Rejang - the book provides a detailed military history of Semut II's and Semut III's brutal guerrilla campaign against the Japanese, and reveals the decisive but long-overlooked Dayak role in the operation. But this is no ordinary history. Helliwell captures vividly the sounds, smells and tastes of the jungles into which the operatives are plunged, an environment so terrifying that many are unsure whether jungle or Japanese is the greater enemy. And she takes us into the lives and cavernous longhouses of the Dayaks on whom their survival depends. The result is a truly unique account of the encounter between two very different cultures amidst the savagery of the Pacific War.

Little Sunshine Bilingual Book by Rina Wahyu Setyaningrum,Rosalin I. Gusdian,Kharisma Naidi W.S,Aninda Nidhommil H,Ika Rahmawati,Nur Suhartanti Pdf

Buku Little Sunshine terlahir atas bentuk keprihatinan tim penulis akan kurangnya materi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris tingkat Sekolah Dasar (SD). Seperti yang telah diketahui bersama, kurikulum 2013 yang mengimplementasikan pembelajaran tematik terintegrasi, telah menempatkan bahasa Inggris sebagai ekstra kurikuler pilihan di SD (Kemendikbud, 2013). Sudah semestinya pembelajaran tersebut tidak hanya mengedepankan aspek kognitif saja karena harus mengaktifkan semua aspek termasuk afektif dan psikomotorik. Keterbatasan materi dan media pembelajaran seringkali menjadi alasan ketidaksuskesan pembelajaran bahasa ekstra kurikuler bahasa Inggris di sela implementasi pembelajaran tematik. Buku Little Sunshine ini berisi lagu-lagu anak Indonesia yang juga digunakan dalam tema pembelajaran tematik.Selain lagu, cerita yang ada dalam buku ini juga disarikan dari cerita dalam buku pembelajaran tematik. Dengan konsep dwibahasa, buku ini diharapkan dapat memfasilitasi siswa dalam belajar bahasa Inggris dengan menyenangkan dan masih berhubungan dengan pembelajaran tematik di kelas. Semoga hadirnya Little Sunshine - Bilingual Book dapat bermanfaat bagi ketersediaan materi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris bagi siswa-siswi SD.

NMR-Spectroscopy: Data Acquisition by Christian Schorn Pdf

The key to correct structure analysis. This volume of the successful "Spectroscopic Techniques" series familiarizes newcomers with the basic data acquisition procedures, modular pulse sequence units and complete sequences in NMR spectroscopy. It applies the numerous possibilities of Bruker's simulation program NMR-SIM to provide a guided introduction to the world of pulse sequences. The effectiveness of particular NMR experiments is demonstrated by the section "Check Its" and that of data processing by the accompanying CD-ROM with the Bruker processing software 1D and 2D WIN-NMR. This interactive approach to simulate spectra based on a reduced spin system and the processing of the accomplished NMR raw data is closely related to everyday work at the spectrometer. In this way, the author encourages beginners to use high resolution NMR, and also experts on NMR spectroscopy to evaluate new experiments using the easy-manageable simulation program.

KILL THE MAJOR (Second Edition) by Paul Malone Pdf

The true story of the 42 Australian, New Zealand and British guerrillas and their Borneo warrior allies who fought behind Japanese lines in World War II and forced the surrender of the last two Japanese companies, ten weeks after World War II’s official end. Over 1,000 Japanese were killed in the Semut I operation, a casualty rate out of all proportion to the small size and armaments of the force. But rather than revere and praise their leader, after the war, many of the guerrillas recounted their hatred for their British major, Tom Harrisson. “One of those amazing stories that wars throw up.” Steven Carroll The Sydney Morning Herald/The Age “Kill the Major reveals much that will be news to the descendants of the Kelabit warriors.” Dr Philip Raja President, Rurum Kelabit Sarawak “While it is now 75 years since Special Operations Australia (SOA) conducted its most successful operation throughout the course of the Second World War, the author has provided a refreshing review of events, and he has reignited much debate over the legacy of Operation Semut!” Major (Rtd.) Jim Truscott Commando—The Magazine of the Australian Commando Association “Malone’s fascinating book reveals that the Allied guerrillas, with the help of traditional headhunting local tribesmen, did an outstanding job after being dropped into the Borneo jungle during the Pacific War. In particular, Malone builds a strong argument that the 9th Division should have accepted the guerrillas’ accurate intelligence and moved inland to round up the two big groups of Japanese roaming the interior. Instead, following the official Japanese surrender, they chose to withdraw, leaving the loyal locals at the mercy of the Japanese.” Brian Toohey National security writer and former Canberra and Washington correspondent, Australian Financial Review

Pulse Methods in 1D & 2D Liquid-Phase NMR by Wallace S. Brey Pdf

FROM THE PREFACE: Pulse Methods in 1D and 2D Liquid-Phase NMR is written to enable the practicing NMR spectroscopist to understand and apply the varied and powerful new techniques developed in the past few years for obtaining spectra with greatly increased information content and from smaller and smaller samples. The intent is to describe both theory and practice in simple and detailed fashion so that the methods may be critically evaluated and effectively used in any potential application. As methods become more complex they require more instrument time, and it is important to be able to judge whether the investment of this time is justified. It is also essential for the spectroscopist to be in a position to evaluate the capabilities of the instrumentation available, as well as the additional requirements for utilization of particular new methods. The material in this book assumes a knowledge of continuous-wave NMR methods as well as an elementary understanding of the normal pulsed Fourier-transform spectroscopic procedures, together with a knowledge of such related phenomena as the nuclear Overhauser effect. Although much of the treatment is necessarily methematical, this aspect of the presentation has been simplified as much as possible.

The Most Offending Soul Alive by Judith M. Heimann Pdf

An English eccentric and adventurer, Tom Harrisson (1911-1976) sought knowledge and renown in a dizzying number of fields, while breaking most of the rules of civilized society. He was a precursor in the field of modern market research; he won the DSO for his World War II service in Borneo; he led efforts to save the orangutan, the green sea turtle, and other endangered species; he discovered the oldest modern human skull known at the time. This hugely enjoyable story of Harrisson's extravagant, controversial life offers a sympathetic and insightful look at a charismatic figure who offended as many people as he impressed at the twilight of colonialism on the fringes of the British empire.

The Japanese Occupation of Borneo, 1941-45 by Ooi Keat Gin Pdf

The Japanese occupation of both British Borneo – Brunei, Sarawak and North Borneo – and Dutch Borneo in 1941 to 1945 is a much understudied subject. Of particular interest is the occupation of Dutch Borneo, governed by the Imperial Japanese Navy that had long-term plans for ‘permanent possession’. This book surveys Borneo under Western colonialism, examines pre-war Japanese interests in Borneo, and analyses the Japanese military invasion and occupation. It goes on to consider the nature of Japanese rule in Borneo, contrasting the different regimes of the Imperial Japanese Army, which ruled the north, and the Navy. A wide range of issues are discussed, including the incorporation of the economy in the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere and the effects of this on Borneo’s economy. The book also covers issues such as the relationship with the various indigenous inhabitants, with Islam and the Muslim community, and the Chinese, as well as topics of acculturation and propaganda, and major uprisings and mass executions. It examines the impact of the wartime conditions and policies on the local multiethnic peoples and their responses, providing an invaluable contribution to the greater understanding of the significance of the wartime Japanese occupation in the historical development of Borneo.

Modern Techniques in High-Resolution FT-NMR by Narayanan Chandrakumar,Sankaran Subramanian Pdf

The magnetism of nuclear spin systems has proved an amazingly fertile ground for the creativity of researchers. This happy circumstance results from the triple benediction that nature appears to have bestowed on nuclear spins: they are sporting spies-being infinitely manipulable (one is even tempted to say malleable), not unduly coy in revealing their secrets, and having a whole treasure house of secrets to reveal in the first place. researcher with Since spin dynamics are now orchestrated by the NMR ever more subtle scores, it is important to be able to tune into the pro ceedings with precision, if one is to make sense of it at all. Fortunately, it is not terribly difficult to do so, since in many ways spin dynamics are the theoretician's dream come true: they are often finite dimensional and quite tractable with basic quantum mechanics, frequently allowing near exact treatments and readily testable predictions. This book was conceived two years ago, with the objective of providing a simple, consistent introduction to the description of the spin dynamics that one encounters in modern NMR experiments. We believed it was a good time to attempt this, since it was possible by then to give sufficiently general descriptions of powelful classes of new NMR experiments. The choice of experiments we discuss in detail is necessarily subjective, al though we hope to have given a flavor of most of the important classes of pulse sequences, including some surface coil imaging applications.

Sejarah KAABAH dan 3 MASJID SUCI by MOHD ZAINI MUHAMAD Pdf

Sejarah dan fakta mengenai kota Jerusalem sebahagiannya bersumberkan fakta orang Yahudi yang kemungkinan dipalsukan. Oleh yang demikian, umat Islam hendaklah menerima sebagai sahih fakta yang jelas dari ajaran Islam. Nasihat yang tepat ialah nasihat Rasulullah s.a.w. kepada Saidina Umar al-Khattab menerusi hadis baginda yang bermaksud: Dari Jabir (radiallahuanhu) dari Nabi s.a.w. mengenai peristiwa ketika Umar datang menghadap baginda s.a.w. lalu berkata bermaksud: Ya Rasulullah kami ada mendengar cerita dan nasihat pengajaran yang menarik hati dari orang-orang Yahudi maka bagaimana fikiran Tuan? Bolehkah kami menulis sebahagian daripadanya? Baginda s.a.w. bersabda bermaksud: Adakah kamu merasa ragu-ragu dan serba salah dalam ajaran agama kamu sebagaimana kaum Yahudi dan Nasrani yang telah ragu-ragu dan meraba-raba dalam ajaran agama mereka? Demi sesungguhnya aku telah membawa kepada kamu agama Islam dengan keadaannya yang jelas nyata dan bersih suci dari sebarang perkara syirik dan penyelewengan. Dan kalaulah Nabi Musa masih hidup lagi sudah tentu tidak ada jalan lain baginya selain daripada menurutku. Diriwayatkan oleh Imam Ahmad Hambali dan Baihaqi. History and facts about the city of Jerusalem the Jews partly sourced facts which may be falsified . Therefore, Muslims must accept as authentic facts apparent from the teachings of Islam . The right advice is advice Messenger to 'Umar al - Khattab through his hadith which means : Jabir ( radiallahuanhu ) of the Prophet about the incident when Umar came to the king 's said means: O Messenger of Allah we have heard the stories and lessons to impress advice from Jews then how mind sir? Can we write a part? He s.a.w. said means: Do you feel hesitant and awkward in the teachings of your religion as the Jews and Christians who were in doubt and grope in the teachings of their religion ? Verily I have brought to you the religion of Islam with the situation in a clear and pure of any polytheism and fraud matters . And if the Prophet Moses was still alive of course there is no other way for him apart from following me . Narrated by Imam Ahmad Hambali and Sufism .
