Pigs THE MOTIVATION Developing flu in Indonesia

Tuesday, 28 April 2009 | 17:33 WIB

SURABAYA, KOMPAS.com - swine flu that spread to developing human potential in Indonesia. However, it can almost be violence flu swine flu down in Mexico that has been infecting poultry in Indonesia.

Head of Laboratory Flu Poultry CA Nidom Airlangga University, said swine flu was already prevalent. Disease with the H1N1 virus in Indonesia has been used since. Subtipe in Indonesia or not dangerous H1N1 classic. "Mexican H1N1 type of flu, known as a pig now that this is dangerous," he said in Surabaya, on Tuesday (28 / 4).

Research based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention United States, Mexico H1N1 type of flu is suspected strong combination of poultry, swine flu and human flu. Possible changes in the virus body pigs.

"Since 2005, I bring this hypothetical. I fear this will happen. Last year I again remind this potential danger. However, some people still resist," he said.

Virus that changes in the body of pigs may be more infectious to humans. The human and pig together mammals that tend to have similarities. Instead, bird flu can not be directly to humans.

"Theoretically, the virus in poultry does not go to mammals such as humans. There should be a mediator and other mammals is likely to pig," he said.

In the body of pigs, the virus changes with the two patterns. The first form of adaptation patterns. "If this happens, its impact is not too dangerous because there are no changes in the structure of the virus," he said.

Pattern re-drafting a second virus. Based on this pattern, the virus can develop into a combination of swine flu, bird flu and human flu. "If the explanation gather in the U.S., there is a possibility reassortan (re-drafting)," he said.

If it happens, not closed the possibility of swine flu in Indonesia can be developed. One is supporting the number of pig and poultry farm near. "Since bird flu merebak, I already explained the importance of managing livestock back," he said.

However, on the other hand, H1N1 type of violence does not like Mexican H5N1. From about 1500 cases in the world, only 150 ended with the death. "The virus is spread quickly, but the damage to low power. On the slow spread of H5N1. However, the damage is very high," he said.

Less than a month, Mexican H1N1 type has been infecting thousands of people. While in the past three years, the case of H5N1 was only about 300 cases in the world. "I worry if the results of re-drafting the virus spread quickly and damage to high power. Syukur far have not shown a sign to it," said Nidom.

History Luhur Uluwatu

In some sources mentioned, around 1489 BC came to the island of Bali a purohita, ecclesiastic and writer named Danghyang Dwijendra. Danghyang Dwijendra a pastor is a Hindu, born in Kediri, East Java.

Danghyang Dwijendra at the time walaka called Danghyang Nirartha. He married a daughter of Daha, East Java. There he also act in-and diksa by law. Danghyang Nirartha was bhiseka kawikon with the name Danghyang Dwijendra.

After the diksa, Danghyang Dwijendra given the task of implementing dharmayatra as one of the requirements kawikon. Dharmayatra this should be implemented on the island of Bali, with a very heavy task of managing the life of the law and religious tradition, especially on the island of Bali. When it is necessary dharmayatra can be forwarded to the Sasak and Sumbawa Island.

Danghyang Dwijendra came to Bali Island, first set foot on the southwestern fringe of the beach area Jembrana for a moment of rest before traveling dharmayatra. This is in place Danghyang Dwijendra leave pemutik (there is also mention pengutik) with rod (core) wood shelf. Pati wood shelf life, and it turns out to be fertile ground to grow trees shelf. Until now leaves used as a wood shelf banten completeness in Bali. As a warning, and reverence for him, dibangunlah a temple which is named Purancak.

After a dharmayatra to Sasak and Sumbawa Island, Danghyang Dwijendra the southwest end of the southern island of Bali, on the arid region, full of stones called the bebukitan.

After some time living there, he felt Hyang get a call from the Creator to be back soon amoring acintia Parama moksha. This is the place in Ida Pedanda Sakti Wawu remind Rauh (icang eling) with Samaya (promise) to return him to his home. That is where this event called Cangeling and slowly become Cengiling until now.

Because of that, Pedanda Sakti Wawu Ida Rauh ngulati (find) a place deemed safe and appropriate to do Parama moksha. By because they do not qualify, he moved again to another location. In this place, and then built a temple called the Temple fungus. The name is derived from the word ngulati. Temple is located in the Village Pecatu.

While running to get the new location that is considered eligible for Parama moksha, Pedanda Sakti Wawu Ida Rauh very sad and crying in batinnya. Why? Because he was not willing to leave this world sekala because swadharmanya not thoroughly enjoyed, the life up in the Hindu religion Sasak and Sumbawa. Where he mengangis this, and established a temple called the Temple Ngis (origin of the word mourning). Ngis this temple is located in the East Village Banjar Adat Pecatu.

Ida Pedanda Sakti Wawu Rauh not also find places that are considered appropriate for Parama moksha. He then arrived at a place full of stones. He was only alone. In this place, and established a temple which is named Pura Batu Diyi. Also in this place Danghyang Dwijendra feel less safe for Parama moksha. Travel with a quite tiring holding hunger and thirst, he eventually arrived in the area that always gets bebukitan sun blazing. Memayungi for themselves, he sebidang take a leaf beetle and trying to get drinking water source. After circling not find the source of drinking water, eventually Danghyang Dwijendra stick tongkatnya. So come out amertha water. Ago in this place was established a temple called Pura Payung the source of water used means tirtha until now.

Ida Pedanda Sakti Wawu Rauh then go again to another location, to entertain themselves before conducting seconds to return home. Ago in this place was established a temple called Pura Selonding which is located in Banjar Kangin Desa Adat Pecatu. After consoling himself satisfied, Danghyang Dwijendra feel tired. So he find a place to rest. Saking lelahnya-up until he was quiet (bed). Ago in this place was established a temple called the Temple Parerepan (parerepan means pasirepan, lodging place) located in the Village Pecatu.

Approaching the final seconds to Parama moksha, Danghyang Dwijendra cleanse themselves and mulat sarira first. In this place now stand up to a temple called Pura Pangleburan located in Banjar Adat Pecatu Kauh Village. After the cleanse itself, to continue his journey to the location of the tip of the southwestern island of Bali. This place is made up of rocks in cliffs. When observed from below the sea surface, visible bertindih each other, forming the top perch in the rocks in the cliffs, with a height of between 50-100 meters from the sea surface. With so-called Uluwatu. Ulu Watu and the means means stone.

Before Danghyang Dwijendra Parama moksha, he called the boat skipper who took him from the island of Sumbawa to Bali. Skipper of the boat named Ki Pacek Nambangan boat. Sang Pandita resort in order to bring the boat skipper and tongkatnya clothes to his wife in the fourth Pasraman in Griya Mas Sakti Banjar Pule, Mas village, Ubud, Gianyar. Apparel is a green silk robe and a stick of wood young. Ki Pacek Nambangan After leaving the boat Pasraman Danghyang Dwijendra in Mas, Pedanda Sakti Wawu Ida Rauh immediately towards a large stone on the east bank of stone-stone former Royal temple heritage of Sri Wira Dalem Kesari. On a stone that, Pedanda Sakti Wawu Ida Rauh beryoga mengranasika, like loose kris saking urangka, lost without the former, amoring acintia Parama moksha.

Thus, since Danghyang Dwijendra also called the Pedanda Sakti Wawu Ida Rauh Parama moksha or Ngaluhur called Uluwatu, this temple is called Luhur Uluwatu.

Dikutip dari wiki, lembah curam di kota bukittinggi yang memanjang sekitar 15 km dari selatan ngarai Koto Gadang menuju Sianok Enam Suku dan berakhir di Palupuh ini bernama Ngarai Sianok. Dengan kedalaman jurang mencapai 100 m dan lebar 200 m, patahan dinding curamnya dialiri oleh sungai sianok. konon di jaman Belanda, jurang ini bernama kerbau sanget akibat banyaknya kerbau liar di dasar ngarai.

Namun sangat disayangkan, terjadinya gempa 5.8 SR yang menimpa sumatera barat tanggal 6 Maret 2007 lalu telah melongsorkan 2/3 ngarai. Seperti yang dikemukakan Media Indonesia, longsor di 5 titik tersebut tsb menimbulkan hujan debu di kawasan Sianok. Tanah longsoran menimbun arus Sungai Sianok sehingga air naik dan menggenangi daratan. Tempo menambahkan, gempa tersebut diakibatkan oleh bergesernya Patahan Semangko (yang melintang disepanjang Sumatera dari Lampung hingga Aceh) sebagai dampak dari tumbukan Lempeng Samudra Hindia yang menggeser bagian barat Sumatera ke utara dan bagian timurnya ke selatan.

Sekilas dilihat bangunannya emang mirip replika yang ada di taman mini. dan kemiripan itu bikin gw sebel, udh jau2 sampe padang, foto di depan istana, eh temen gw malah komen “foto di taman mini ya..”. sebetulnya bangunan yang padang banget itu, menurut wiki dulunya merupakan istana kesultanan Islam tahun 1600-an dengan nama yang diambil dari ibukota provinsi yaitu nagari Pagaruyung.

Wisata Irian Jaya

Pariwisata Irian Jaya:
Dari Dasar Laut sampai Puncak Salju Abadi

EMPAT belas kabupaten/kota di Irian Jaya mempunyai keunikan dan daya tarik tersendiri. Ada wisata bahari dengan keindahan taman laut, wisata budaya, sejarah, fauna, dan flora. Sayang, semuanya belum digarap secara profesional. Semuanya masih alamiah dan penduduk di wilayah pedalaman masih terkesan sangat primitif.Sampai tahun 1962 Jayapura disebut Hollandia, kemudian berubah menjadi Kota Baru, Soekarnoputra, dan akhirnya Jayapura. Di sana terdapat sebuah museum menyediakan seluruh budaya di Irja seperti ukiran dari berbagai kabupaten, alat perang, alat pertanian tradisional, perahu adat, tenunan adat, tarian, alat dapur nenek moyang dari batu dan kayu, ritus-ritus, dan peninggalan purbakala.
