Task 3

Debus
Debus is a form of a traditional martial art that is combined with the art of dances, vocals, and a bit essence of magic from Banten. Debus was created in the 16th century by Sunan Gunung Jati as an effort in spreading the learning of Islam. But then between the years of 1651-1682, the purpose of performing Debus evolved into encouraging the soldier of Banten before going to war against the Dutch. The purpose of performing Debus evolves over the years until now it is performed only as a show in traditional ceremony or just a show dedicated to the public especially tourist, but the process of Debus is very much the same.
The show starts with the opening (gembung) which is the singing of sholawat or the praises to Prophet Mohammed and the God accompanied by drumming of tabuh for 30 minutes. The show continues with beluk, which is again the singing of praises but only the voices are raised and the singers reply at each other dzikir still in the drumming of tabuh. Along with beluk, the performers start to perform certain stunts according to what they wish to do. The idea is that they hurt their body with knives, fire, needle, and even acid but their body can still retain the pain and then they get away with no wound.
There are certain stunts that are commonly performed such as stabbing body with traditional weapons like golok, eating fire, stitching needles through tongue and arms, and of course the most popular is walking through wreckage of glasses. Lastly the show ended with gemurung, which is intensive drumming of tabuh.



The water that runs in our houses usually follows the same simple cycle. It starts with the cold water pumped directly from the main pipe to the sink on the first floor and to the toilet, the wash basin, and the bath on the second floor. A part of the water which has not been used is stored in the cold water tank at the attic. After that the water in the cold water tank flows to the hot water tank to be then heated and becomes the hot water. Lastly the hot water is distributed to the bath and the wash basin on the second floor and to the sink on the first floor
