Bursa Tengah Musim, Ozil Nyaris Tinggalkan Arsenal - BeritaSatu

London, Beritasatu.com - Gelandang Arsenal Mesut Ozil nyaris meninggalkan Arsenal pada tengat waktu bursa transfer Januari lalu. Seperti dikutip dari Mirror, Minggu (2/2/2020), Arsenal disebut mendapatkan tawaran dari klub di Qatar jelang deadline bursa transfer Januari. Sayangnya transfer itu tidak terlaksana kendati klub tersebut siap memberikan gaji yang sama dengan diterima Ozil di Arsenal.

Padahal pelatih Mikel Arteta diyakini bakal memberikan lampu hijau untuk melepaskan Ozil ke Qatar.

Sayangnya karena waktu transfer yang begitu mendesak membuat Arsenal tidak memiliki waktu mencari pengganti Ozil di lapangan tengah The Gunners. Sementara target Arsenal saat ini adalah menembus Empat Besar klasemen Premier League yang secara matematis masih bisa dicapai pada akhir musim nanti.

Arsenal pada bursa transfer tengah musim ini mendatangkan dua pemain bertahan dengan status pinjaman yaitu Pablo Mari dari Flamengo serta Cedric Soares dari Southampton.

Di Tengah Hantaman Virus Corona, Rupiah Terbaik di Asia - Tempo

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta -  Di tengah hantaman sentimen negatif virus corona yang tak kunjung reda, rupiah berhasil mempertahankan posisinya sebagai mata uang terbaik di Asia dalam sebulan terakhir. 

Berdasarkan data Bloomberg, pada penutupan perdagangan pekan ini, Jumat 31 Januari 2020, rupiah berada di level Rp13.655 per dolar AS, menguat tipis 0,015. Artinya, sepanjang pekan ini, rupiah telah terdepresiasi 0,527 persen.

Pada saat bersamaan, penyebaran virus corona semakin meluas ke beberapa negara lain selain Cina. Saat ini, virus corona telah terkonfirmasi memasuki India, salah satu negara dengan penduduk terbanyak di dunia.

Pasar khawatir wabah virus corona tersebut akan berubah menjadi seperti epidemi SARS pada 2002-2003 silam. Selain itu, penyebaran tersebut dikhawatirkan akan melemahkan pertumbuhan ekonomi Cina, yang pada akhirnya dapat mempengaruhi pertumbuhan ekonomi global. Akibatnya, investor menghindari aset berisiko dan berlomba mengumpulkan aset investasi aman seperti emas dan yen.

Kendati demikian, nyatanya rupiah berhasil mempertahankan posisinya untuk tidak terdepresiasi cukup dalam seperti mata uang Asia lainnya. Sepanjang Januari 2020, rupiah berhasil memimpin kinerja penguatan mata uang Asia dengan bergerak naik 1,542 persen. Penguatan rupiah berhasil mengalahkan yuan renminbi yang menguat 1,392 persen dan dolar Hong Kong yang hanya naik 0,304 persen.

Ekonom Bank Permata Josua Pardede mengatakan, pelemahan rupiah dalam beberapa perdagangan terakhir didorong oleh penyebaran virus corona yang terus memakan korban jiwa.

Namun, kata dia, rupiah bisa bertahan baik karena imbal hasil obligasi Indonesia yang masih dinilai menarik oleh investor. Hal itu juga yang membuat rupiah sempat menyentuh level tertinggi sejak Februari 2018.

“Imbal hasil obligasi Indonesia masih baik, apalagi ketika India mendapatkan penurunan rating terhadap obligasinya, sedangkan Indonesia berhasil mempertahankan peringkatnya dengan prospek yang masih cukup baik. Oleh karena itu ada shifting investor dari India berpindah ke Indonesia,” ujar Josua kepada Bisnis, Jumat Januari 2020.

Sementara itu, Analis PT Monex Investindo Futures Ahmad Yudiawan mengatakan bahwa pelemahan rupiah juga didukung oleh kecenderungan aksi ambil untung oleh investor karena rupiah berhasil menembus ke bawah level Rp13.600 per dolar AS.

“Tetapi secara teknikal rupiah memberikan petunjuk berpotensi untuk melanjutkan penguatannya dalam beberapa perdagangan. Hanya, sentimen negatif datang dari fundamental eksternal, kalau ada sentimen lebih baik seperti perkembangan corona lebih kondusif rupiah pasti akan menguat lebih baik,” ujar Yudi saat dihubungi Bisnis, Jumat.

Namun, Direktur PT TRFX Garuda Berjangka Ibrahim mengatakan bahwa terbatasnya pelemahan rupiah karena didukung oleh intevensi Bank Indonesia. “Bank Indonesia hari ini kembali menjadi pahlawan dengan melakukan intervensi di pasar valas dan obligasi di perdagangan DNDF,” ujar Ibrahim seperti dikutip dari keterangan resminya, Jumat.

Loveland Classical kids test their brains in middle school science bowl - Loveland Reporter-Herald

Four science whiz kids from Loveland Classical Schools got a taste of the fast and furious world of science knowledge competitions Saturday with the school’s first foray into the statewide Middle School Science Bowl regionals.

The competition at Mountain View High School in Loveland involved 24 teams from 15 middle schools across the state, which were vying for the opportunity to represent Colorado at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C., at the end of April.

After the initial six-round portion of the contest, Loveland Classical came out with a 2-4 record, which wasn’t good enough to advance the kids to the double-elimination round.

In the end, a team from Preston Middle School in Fort Collins took home the trophy and the all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, its third win in a row. A team from another Fort Collins school, Kinard Core Knowledge, took second place, and Rocky Heights Middle School in Lone Tree came in third.

The same three schools finished in the same order last year.

“We ended up in 17th place, but the kids had a good time,” said Evan Willis, who teaches sixth- and seventh-grade science at Loveland Classical and is the team’s co-coach. “We gained some really good experience from it, so we kind of know what things to study for next year.”

With only 5 seconds to answer each “toss-up” question, the students struggled with the math queries, Willis said.

“That was a little eye-opening,” he said. “You have to know it or you don’t, basically. You don’t have time to work out equations, it’s so fast.”

After a few rounds, the team members hit their stride, he said, as they got more comfortable.

“Next year, we’ll be more ready,” Willis said.

Craig Young / Loveland Reporter-Herald

Co-coach Evan Willis, a middle school science teacher at Loveland Classical Schools, encourages team members Isaac Green, center, and Maddie Holloway during a break in the action Saturday at the Colorado Regional Middle School Science Bowl at Mountain View High School in Loveland.

Loveland Classical was represented by team captain Noah Elliott, an eighth-grader; Isaac Green, seventh grade; Maddie Holloway, seventh grade; and Aiden Rotner, sixth grade.

Tough questions

The event, sponsored by the U.S. Energy Department’s Western Area Power Administration headquarters in Loveland, covered tough questions in the areas of life science, physical science, earth and space science, energy and mathematics.

The questions were challenging, and while the students sometimes breezed through complex queries, other times both teams were stumped.

For a taste of the difficulty, here are some sample question from the national Science Bowl website:

Toss-up (5 seconds to answer): “The length of a meter was re-defined in 1983 to be based on what physical quantity?”

W) A wavelength of krypton-86 radiation.

X) The distance light travels in a specific fraction of a second in a vacuum.

Y) The length of a one-kilogram bar of iridium.

Z) A specific fraction of the length of the meridian through Paris from the North Pole to the Equator.

Answer: X) The distance light travels in a specific fraction of a second in a vacuum.

Bonus (20 seconds to answer): “A liver cell has stopped functioning, and a scientist observes that it is producing lactic acid. Failure of what organelle most likely caused the liver cell to stop functioning?”

W) Mitochondrion.

X) Nucleus.

Y) Ribosome.

Z) Golgi Body.

Answer: W) Mitochondrion.

The competition was fast-paced, giving the children no time between rapid-fire questions to celebrate points won or mourn answers muffed.

Each of the four competitors had a buzzer. Each 4-point “toss-up” question could be answered by any team member, and no discussion among the kids was allowed. If a team got the toss-up correct, it was given a 10-point bonus question, and members were allowed to confer.

If a team missed the toss-up, the other team was given a shot at it.

Loveland Classical’s first round wasn’t even close. Team 3 from Preston Middle School in Fort Collins, which sent a team to nationals last year, came out of the gate fast, correctly answering question after question while the Loveland kids tried to get their feet under them.

At the end of the 8-minute-long first half of the round, it was Preston 40, Loveland Classical 8.

The second half wasn’t much better for the Loveland team. It lost, 76-16.

Gaining confidence

But the kids’ confidence seemed to blossom in the short interlude before Round 2 as Coach Willis and Jaime Rotner, Aiden’s mom, handed out encouragement.

The kids from Loveland knocked out three of the first four toss-up questions, mashing the buzzer before the Gilpin County team members could gather their wits. At the end of the round, Loveland had a win, 34-12.

All the Loveland competitors admitted to being nervous at first, and though Isaac said he was shaking a little, he wasn’t as nervous as he used to get before wrestling tournaments.

And the kids shook their heads over questions they should have gotten right, and others that they had no time to figure out.

The team prepared for the competition by having mock competitions during regular meetings at school, Willis said.

“We met up during lunch Tuesdays and Thursdays,” Isaac said, “and I might have paid attention a little more during science class this year.”

University of Texas at San Antonio - Middle Tennessee takes down Roadrunners on Saturday - UTSA Athletics

 
SAN ANTONIO – C.J. Jones sank a trio of free throws with 2.8 seconds left to lead Middle Tennessee to an 83-80 win over UTSA men's basketball, on Saturday afternoon at the Convocation Center. 
 
UTSA (10-13, 4-6 Conference USA) couldn't overcome a pair of 15-point holes in each half – including a 15-point margin with 10:50 left – as Middle Tennessee (6-17, 2-8 C-USA) outlasted the Roadrunners despite a furious comeback attempt in the second half. 
 
With the game tied at 80, Jones was fouled on a 3-point attempt with 2.8 seconds left, sinking all three, and UTSA's last-ditch effort to get a shot off failed, pushing the Blue Raiders to the 83-80 win. 
 
The Roadrunners were led by junior guard Jhivvan Jackson, who had 32 points and seven rebounds, with junior guard Keaton Wallace adding 22 points and three rebounds.
 
Senior forward Byron Frohnen broke the career record for games started after making his 123rd consecutive start to open his career, passing UTSA great Jeromie Hill (2010-15). Frohnen had four points and six rebounds.  
 
Middle Tennessee got 27 points from Eli Lawrence, who came off the bench, and 27 points from Jones to fuel the win over the Roadrunners. The Blue Raiders drilled 14 3-pointers and shot 43 percent from the field, with UTSA shooting 50 percent. 
 
UTSA will return to action on Thursday, traveling to face Old Dominion at 6 p.m. CT. The game will be live on the Roadrunners Sports Network on Ticket 760-AM and goUTSA.com, with the Voice of the Roadrunners, Andy Everett (play-by-play), calling the action. 
 
The Roadrunners scored 11 of the first 13 points in the game, starting with a designed play for freshman center Jacob Germany – making his first career start – out of the tip, an alley-oop slam. Wallace sank a corner three and laid in a bucket at the rim to give UTSA an early 7-0 lead before Middle Tennessee got on the board. 
 
Middle Tennessee answered with a 6-0 run to cut the lead to 11-8 and the Blue Raiders took an 18-16 lead behind a 3-pointer from Eli Lawrence. The teams traded buckets until a technical foul was called on UTSA Coach Steve Henson to take the Middle Tennessee lead to 34-28.
 
The Blue Raiders stretched its lead to 15 after a triple from C.J. Jones with 64 seconds left in the first with the lead at 12 at halftime. 
 
The lead went to 11 before the Roadrunners spurted off on a 9-0 run, including a pair of treys from Jackson and an and-one from Wallace, to cut the lead to 55-53 with 15:01 left in regulation. The Blue Raiders answered with a 13-0 run to take a 15-point lead with just under 12 minutes left. 
 
UTSA used an 8-0 run to even the game with 1:33 left, using an and-one from Jackson to cut the lead to one and a free throw from Frohnen to even it at 78. 
 
UTSA had a chance with 70 seconds left to take its first lead since 11:55 left in the first but missed a corner triple. 
 
Donovan Sims was fouled on the rebound and made the second free throw to give Middle Tennessee a 79-78 lead with 1:06 left. 
 
The Roadrunners had a look from Wallace for the lead with just under 50 seconds left but the attempt misfired and the Blue Raiders grabbed the rebound, calling timeout on its end of the floor with 47.1 seconds left. 
 
Middle owned an 80-78 lead until Jackson drilled a spinning floater to even the game at 80 with 13.9 seconds left in regulation. 
 
The Blue Raiders raced the ball up the floor and called timeout with 12.1 seconds left. 
 
Middle Tennessee was able to maintain possession after a jump ball with 5.7 seconds left. On the play, Jones drew a foul on a 3-point shot, sinking the game-winning points from the charity stripe.
