BIOGRAFI

Yohannes Christian John atau lebih dikenal sebagai Chris John (kelahiran Jakarta, 14 September 1979) adalah seorang petinju Indonesia ketiga yang berhasil meraih gelar juara dunia setelah Ellyas Pical dan Nico Thomas.

Chris John merupakan putra kedua dari empat bersaudara dari pasangan Johan Tjahjadi (alias Tjia Foek Sem) dan Maria Warsini. Ia dan keluarganya kemudian hijrah dari Jakarta ke Banjarnegara, Jawa Tengah. Ayah Chris John, Johan Tjahjadi yang mantan petinju amatir, melatih Chris John dan adiknya Adrian sejak mereka masih berusia dini (sekitar usia 5 tahun). Setelah bertanding dalam beberapa kejuaraan amatir di Banjarnegara, Chris John kemudian direkrut oleh pelatih tinju kenamaan, Sutan Rambing di Semarang.

Chris John kemudian menekuni dunia tinju profesional pada tahun 1998 dan debut pertamanya melawan Firman Kanda. Saat itu Chris John menang angka dalam pertandingan 6 ronde. Ia kemudian berhasil mengalahkan petinju idola saat itu, Muhammad Alfaridzi dalam pertandingan menegangkan selama 12 ronde. Chris John sempat terkena knockdown dua kali di ronde pertama, tapi ia berhasil membalikkan situasi dengan memukul KO Alfaridzi pada ronde ke 12 sekaligus merebut gelar juara nasional kelas bulu. Menurut pengakuan Chris John, kondisinya sangat buruk saat itu dan ia mengalami pendarahan pada hidung karena tulang hidungnya patah. Setelah beberapa kali bertanding dalam perebutan gelar nasional, Chris John berhasil menundukkan rekan senegaranya Soleh Sundava pada tahun 2001 untuk merebut gelar PABA kelas bulu.

Kesempatan emas bagi Chris John dan bangsa Indonesia tiba saat Chris John berkesempatan menantang Oscar Leon dari Kolombia pada 26 September 2003 di Bali. Chris John menang angka tipis (split decision) dalam pertandingan 12 ronde tersebut dan dinyatakan berhak menyandang gelar juara dunia WBA sementara (interim title). Tak lama kemudian, WBA menghibahkan gelar juara definitif (bukan lagi gelar interim) kepada Chris John, saat sang juara bertahan Derrick Gainer dari Amerika Serikat kalah angka dari Juan Manuel Marquez (Meksiko, juara IBF).

Meskipun demikian, gelar tersebut hanya dipandang sebelah mata oleh pers Indonesia dan Chris John dianggap sebagai juara di atas kertas belaka. Namun semua pandangan miring itu terhapus saat dengan perkasa Chris John mengalahkan lawannya Osamu Sato (Jepang) di Ariake Colliseum, Tokyo, Jepang pada 4 Juni 2004. Chris John menang angka mutlak atas lawannya yang didukung oleh supporter tuan rumah. Dengan kemenangan itu, selain mendapat pengakuan di Indonesia, Chris John juga dikenal di Jepang.

Pada 3 Desember 2004, Chris John berhasil mempertahankan gelar melawan petinju kidal Jose Cheo Rojas (Venezuela) di Tenggarong, Kutai Kartanegara melalui pertarungan berdarah akibat benturan kepala pada ronde ke-4. Pertarungan itu dihentikan oleh wasit dan dinyatakan hasilnya seri atau technical draw. Setelah pertandingan itu, Chris John terpaksa harus memutuskan kontrak dengan pelatih Sutan Rambing karena ketidaksepakatan masalah pembagian hasil. Selanjutnya ia dilatih oleh Craig Christian dari Harry's Gym, Perth, Australia.

Tanggal 22 April 2005, Chris John menghadapi sang mantan juara kelas bulu WBA, Derrick Gainer yang sangat berambisi memperoleh kembali gelarnya. Di tengah pesimisme publik tinju di tanah air karena ini adalah debut Chris John setelah ditangani pelatih baru, ia mampu tampil baik dan berhasil mengalahkan sang mantan juara tersebut lewat kemenangan angka mutlak 12 ronde.

Setelah menang TKO pada ronde 10 atas Tommy Browne di Australia, kali ini Chris John harus bertanding melawan raja kelas bulu WBA dan IBF yang sangat ditakuti karena ketajaman pukulannya, yakni Juan Manuel Marquez dari Meksiko. Lewat proses negosiasi panjang, akhirnya Marquez yang merupakan salah satu petinju terbaik Meksiko dan dunia saat itu, bersedia melawan Chris John di Indonesia. Dalam pertandingan yang sangat menarik dan penuh dengan adu teknik serta skill, Chris John akhirnya mampu menundukkan Juan Manuel Marquez dengan kemenangan angka mutlak. Pukulan satu dua Chris John lebih cepat dari sergapan Marquez. Chris John mengumumkan julukan barunya sebagai "The Dragon" alias "Sang Naga" menggantikan julukan lamanya "The Indonesian Thin Man" karena sebagai pemuda keturunan Tionghoa, ia mempercayai bahwa binatang naga selalu membawa keberuntungan dalam hidup.

Pada tanggal 3 Maret 2007, Sang Naga berhasil menuntaskan rasa penasarannya atas satu-satunya lawan yang berhasil menahan seri, yakni Jose Cheo Rojas. Dalam pertandingan tersebut, Chris John berhasil menang angka mutlak atas Rojas di Stadion Tenis Indoor, Jakarta. Sempat terjadi kekisruhan mengenai keterlambatan pembayaran honor dari promotor Albert Reinhard Papilaya, namun semua masalah akhirnya bisa diselesaikan dengan baik. Pada 19 Agustus 2007, Chris John berhasil mempertahankan gelar kelas bulu versi WBA setelah menang TKO pada akhir ronde kesembilan melawan petinju Jepang Zaiki Takemoto (peringkat 8 kelas bulu WBA yang merupakan petinju keturunan Korea kelahiran Kobe) di Rokko Island, Kobe, Jepang.

Chris John menikah dengan Anna Maria Megawati pada tahun 2005 dan telah dikaruniai seorang putri bernama Maria Luna Ferisha. Selain atlet tinju, Chris John juga sempat dikenal sebagai atlet nasional wu-shu. Keberhasilan Chris di dunia tinju, membawanya ke profesi sampingan, antara lain sebagai bintang iklan untuk berbagai produk dan komentator tinju di televisi.

2006
In 2006, Valentino Rossi continued with same manufacturer - Yamaha, but this time with new title sponsor, Camel. Despite great pre-season test results, 2006. MotoGP season started in bad way - chattering problems teethed Rossi from first race in Jerez. To make things even worse, Rossi was picked by Toni Elias in first corner incident and he finished race in distant 14th place. This was first time that Rossi has not started season with victory in MotoGP class. In next race, Qatar, Rossi managed to recover and win race. However, chattering problems were not solved, and Rossi finishes next race in Turkey in 4th place. Bad luck, which is not something we could say that was Rossi's problem in previous years, attacked in it's worst form in next two races. First, Rossi started Chinese Grand Prix from 13th place on the grid and made his way through the field, but tyre got damaged on his Camel Yamaha while he was on the way to podium finish and forced him to retire from race which will be remembered by maiden victory of Dani Pedrosa. In next race, Franch Grand Prix, things get even worse: Rossi`s Yamaha had engine failure 8 laps before end of the race while he was in 5 second lead, and he had second consecutive non-scoring finish.

After two disasters, Rossi's home Grand Prix at Mugello was relief for Rossi and Camel Yamaha team: Rossi won Italian Grand Prix, after starting from front row for first time in 2006 season. This was Rossi's 5th consecutive victory at Mugello circuit. Next race, that took place in Catalunya, was another moral-booster for Rossi, who took his third victory of the season on Spanish track, after dramatic start that saw Capirossi and Gibernau suffering terrific crash. Bad luck striked again in Assen, as Rossi suffered crash in free practice and ended day with broken bones in his hand and leg. However, Rossi decided to take place in the race despite injuries, qualifying last on the grid. In race, Rossi made his way through the field to end in respectable 8th place.

In next race, in Donington park, Valentino Rossi recovered enough to finish British Grand Prix in second place, behind rookie Dani Pedrosa. Next race, German Grand Prix, was even better for Rossi, who took another brilliant victory and decreased championship difference to Nicky Hayden. However, U.S. Grand Prix was another weekend to forget for Valentino Rossi, as once again his Yamaha emitted puffs of smoke before stopping, giving clear 25 points to championship leader, Nicky Hayden.

In the next race that took place in Czech Republic, Rossi once again returned to the top. In qualifying, Rossi took pole position. Situation in race was bit different, with Capirossi riding dominant race and winning in front of Rossi, who gained some ground in championship, reducing difference to Hayden to 38 points. In Sepang, Rossi took both pole position and race victory, taking few more points from Nicky Hayden in Championship Battle.

In Australia, Valentino Rossi had the chance to apply new tyre regulations for first time in his career, but for sure this was not something he wished to do. After being on his way to the top in dry part of the race, Rossi found himself mid pack after bike switch, and had to work his way through the field again, ending Australian Grand Prix in 3rd place, with Hayden finishing in 5th.

Next race of 2006 was in Motegi, where Rossi scored second place, once again gaining 9 points from Hayden, reducing gap to 12 points. Penultimate round of 2006 MotoGP championship took place in Estoril, where Rossi lost first place in last corner from Elias, but Hayden ended race without any points, after Dani Pedrosa crashed and brought team-mate to gravel. Rossi was now championship leader with one race remaining in the championship, with 8 points to spare. However, 5 points that Elias took from Rossi proved to be crucial for championship in last race of the 2006 MotoGP season...

Valencia was the place where Rossi failed to score his 6th consecutive MotoGP title, as he crashed in lap 4 of the race, rejoined race and finished in 13th. Hayden meanwhile ended race in 3rd, and won champhionship by 5 points - those 5 that Rossi has lost to Elias in previous race...

Number of third places - 1: Australia

biography alexander graham bel

In 1876, at the age of 29, Alexander Graham Bell invented his telephone. In 1877, he formed the Bell Telephone Company, and in the same year married Mabel Hubbard and embarked on a yearlong honeymoon in Europe.

Alexander Graham Bell might easily have been content with the success of his telephone invention. His many laboratory notebooks demonstrate, however, that he was driven by a genuine and rare intellectual curiosity that kept him regularly searching, striving, and wanting always to learn and to create. He would continue to test out new ideas through a long and productive life. He would explore the realm of communications as well as engage in a great variety of scientific activities involving kites, airplanes, tetrahedral structures, sheep-breeding, artificial respiration, desalinization and water distillation, and hydrofoils.

With the enormous technical and later financial success of his telephone invention, Alexander Graham Bell's future was secure, and he was able to arrange his life so that he could devote himself to his scientific interests. Toward this end, in 1881, he used the $10,000 award for winning France's Volta Prize to set up the Volta Laboratory in Washington, D.C. A believer in scientific teamwork, Bell worked with two associates, his cousin Chichester Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter, at the Volta Laboratory. Their experiments soon produced such major improvements in Thomas Edison's phonograph that it became commercially viable. After 1885, when he first visited Nova Scotia, Bell set up another laboratory there at his estate, Beinn Bhreagh (pronounced Ben Vreeah), near Baddeck, where he would assemble other teams of bright young engineers to pursue new and exciting ideas.

Among one of his first innovations after the telephone was the "photophone," a device that enabled sound to be transmitted on a beam of light. Bell and his assistant, Charles Sumner Tainter, developed the photophone using a sensitive selenium crystal and a mirror that would vibrate in response to a sound. In 1881, they successfully sent a photophone message over 200 yards from one building to another. Bell regarded the photophone as "the greatest invention I have ever made; greater than the telephone." Alexander Graham Bell's invention reveals the principle upon which today's laser and fiber optic communication systems are founded, though it would take the development of several modern technologies to realize it fully.

Alexander Graham Bell Sketch of a vacuum jacket in use.

Over the years, Alexander Graham Bell's curiosity would lead him to speculate on the nature of heredity, first among the deaf and later with sheep born with genetic irregularities. His sheep-breeding experiments at Beinn Bhreagh sought to increase the numbers of twin and triplet births. Bell was also willing to attempt inventing under the pressure of daily events, and in 1881 he hastily constructed an electromagnetic device called an induction balance to try and locate a bullet lodged in President Garfield after an assassin had shot him. He later improved this and produced a device called a telephone probe, which would make a telephone receiver click when it touched metal. That same year, Bell's newborn son, Edward, died from respiratory problems, and Bell responded to that tragedy by designing a metal vacuum jacket that would facilitate breathing. This apparatus was a forerunner of the iron lung used in the 1950s to aid polio victims. In addition to inventing the audiometer to detect minor hearing problems and conducting experiments with what today are called energy recycling and alternative fuels, Bell also worked on methods of removing salt from seawater.

However, these interests may be considered minor activities compared to the time and effort he put into the challenge of flight. By the 1890s, Bell had begun experimenting with propellers and kites. His work led him to apply the concept of the tetrahedron (a solid figure with four triangular faces) to kite design as well as to create a new form of architecture. In 1907, four years after the Wright Brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk, Bell formed the Aerial Experiment Association with Glenn Curtiss, William "Casey" Baldwin, Thomas Selfridge, and J.A.D. McCurdy, four young engineers whose common goal was to create airborne vehicles. By 1909, the group had produced four powered aircraft, the best of which, the Silver Dart, made the first successful powered flight in Canada on February 23, 1909. Bell spent the last decade of his life improving hydrofoil designs, and in 1919 he and Casey Baldwin built a hydrofoil that set a world water-speed record that was not broken until 1963. Months before he died, Bell told a reporter, "There cannot be mental atrophy in any person who continues to observe, to remember what he observes, and to seek answers for his unceasing hows and whys about things.
