South aceh history and southeast aceh map

 Topography used to be a saga of Southeast Aceh is a large lake, formed in prehistoric times. In fact this can be seen from the number of village or area names that still use the word pulo (island), tip, and headland, such as Pulo Piku, Pulonas, Pulo Kemiri, Pulo Gadung, Pulo Latong, Tanjung, Kuta Gerat, Kuta Ujung, and West End. In addition, there are many graves found on top of the mountain, such as the grave of the King of God on Mount Lawe Sikap, the grave of Commander Seridane on the Rocky Stone, and the Long Commander's grave on top of the Long Mountain. The name of the base itself is believed to be derived from the base word meaningful mat or grounding in the form of a very wide field.
Kutacane is the capital of Southeast Aceh Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Geographically, Southeast Aceh Regency is located between 3055'23 "-4016'37" LU and 96043'23'-98010'32 "BT. In the north it is bordered by Gayo Lues Regency, in the east with North Sumatera Province and East Aceh Regency, south to South Aceh Regency, Aceh Singkil Regency and North Sumatera Province, and to the west with South Aceh Regency. Kutacane is the entrance to Gunung Leuser National Park (TNGL) from Aceh, reaching approximately 5-6 hours by land through Karo District from Medan, North Sumatra.

Region of Southeast Aceh Regency (Agara) is located at an altitude of 25-1000 meters above sea level, in the form of hilly and mountainous areas. Some of the area is a natural reserve area of ​​Gunung Leuser National Park. Air temperature ranges from 25 to 32 Celsius.

In the long history of Southeast Aceh Regency government, it started from the formation of government throughout Aceh in early 1946 by grouping the areas that are "in the middle" of Aceh, namely Takengon, Gayo Lues, and Tanah Alas into one keluhakan called Keluhakan Aceh Tengah . The capital of keluhakan is planned to rotate every six months between Takengon, Blangkejeren, and Kutacane. Very long distances and very long travel time between Kutacane to Takengon, about 250 km traveled within 5-8 days on foot, or if using the vehicle must go through Medan, East Aceh, and Aceh Utara with a distance of about 850 km, Causing the implementation of government does not run effectively. Moreover, on 21 September 1953 erupted the Aceh Incident (Daud Bereueh), which prompted several figures from North Sumatra to try to incorporate the Tanah Alas region into the area of ​​North Sumatra. But this effort did not get the support of the people in Tanah Alas. In 1956 the Central Government realized that one of the causes of the eruption of the Aceh Incident was the melting of Aceh Province into the province of North Sumatra and decided to restore the province's status to Aceh. This further encouraged leaders in Tanah Alas and Gayo Lues to form their own districts, regardless of the district of Central Aceh. After going through the struggle tirelessly, finally Major Syahadat managed to convince Pangkowilhan I Letjend. Koesno Oetomo to de facto declare endorsed Tanah Alas and Gayo Area to Southeast Aceh Regency on 14 November 1967. In 1974, after struggling for 17 years since 1956, the Government finally issued Law no. 4 of 1974 on the Formation of Southeast Aceh Regency and its inauguration was made by the Minister of Home Affairs H. Amir Machmud on June 26, 1974 in a solemn event in Kutacane. On that day also the Governor of the Special Region of Aceh A. Muzakkir Walad inaugurated Major Syahadat as the Regent of Southeast Aceh Regency. On 24 July 1975 the Major Creed was definitively appointed as the first Regent of Southeast Aceh. The next Bupati after H. Syahadat (held from 1975 to 1981) was T. Djohan Syahbudin, SH, (1981-1986), Drs. H. T. Iskandar, (period 1986-1991), Drs. H. Syahbuddin BP (period 1991-2001), H. Armen Desky (period 2001-2006) and Ir. Hasanuddin B (since 2006 until now).

Then on 10 April 2002 the district was divided into Southeast Aceh District and Gayo Lues District based on Law No. 4 of 2002.

Administratively, since its formation in 1974 until 2013, Southeast Aceh Regency is divided into 16 districts, one kelurahan, and 385 villages. A total of 282 villages are located in the valley and 103 villages are located on the slopes of Gunung Leuser and Bukit Barisan National Parks. The sixteen sub-districts in Southeast Aceh are: Lawe Alas, Lawe Sigala-Gala, Babul Makmur, Bambel, Babussalam, Badar, Darul Hasanah, Lawe Moon, Bukit Tusam, Semadam, and Babul Rahmah, Deleng Pokhkisen, Tanoh Alas, Leuser, Ketambe, Babul Makmur and Lawe Well.

Southeast Aceh Regency known as Alas Valley, is very rich in tourist objects. The development of tourism in Southeast Aceh is directed at the utilization of the tourism sector to increase local revenue with an emphasis on natural tourism. The goal of tourism development is to increase the flow of foreign tourists and domestic tourists from year to year.

Gutel- Cimpe Foods of the People

This one snack has been very popular among the people of Central / Southeast Aceh, Tanah Karo, and even known also in South Tapanuli (Mandailing).

This typical food, making it slightly different way when compared with some areas that make as a typical snack. So in the case of the mention of the name. In Kalak Alas (Red-Orang Alas) usually refer to this food as cimpe.

While in Gayo to know this food with a different name of the gutel. In Karo called cimpa unung. The way of making and presenting it is slightly different for both the cimpe, cimpa unung, and gutel names, but the ingredients are the same.

Examples of the difference alone before steamed cimpe will be wrapped on pandan leaves while on unung cimpa wrapped with banana leaves or palm leaves. While in Gayo there are wrapped with banana leaves there are also directly steamed, without the pads first.

Then stirred all after it was thrown using the hands to form oval. Then wrapped with pandan leaves, the final stage is cimpe / gutel steamed for 20 or 30 minutes...

The legend of El Dorado and the treasures of Lake Guatavita

A city made of gold with its king which is also wrapped in gold dust, the legend of El Dorado has become one of the most interesting legends to tell. Many people say that this legend is just an imagination, but in fact some of El Dorado's secret is arguably revealed and Guatavita lake is one of them.

This is a short story about El Dorado.

When Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas, the story of a new world rich in gold came to Europe. Not long after, the Spanish conquerors began to enter the civilization of Central and South America including the Aztec and the Incas.

Francisco Pizzaro (1475-1541), who succeeded in conquering the rich Incan civilization in the 1530s believed that elsewhere on the continent was still hidden great treasures of great value.

It did not take long for him to get confirmation about this.

Shortly after the conquest, a messenger from an unknown tribe emerged in Peru, where the Inca empire, with a message for the Inca King. this messenger did not know that the Inca kingdom had been conquered by Pizarro.

After being interrogated by Spanish soldiers, the messenger said that he was a member of one of the tribes in the Bogota area. Interestingly, this messenger also told of another kingdom in the same region where his King was covered with gold dust and swam in a golden lake.

The legend they heard was then called El Dorado which means "Golden Plated Man".

Interested in getting more gold, the Spanish conquerors then sent at least five major expeditions to find El Dorado.

One of the expeditions sent was an expedition led by Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada who departed in 1536.

Together with his 500 soldiers, he went into the dense wilderness that now includes the territory of Columbia. After exploring long enough and encountering various obstacles, Quesada and his team found the rich Chibca tribe. However, they did not find the golden king and the golden lake sought.

However, the tribe told Quesada about a mysterious lake in a mountain crater on the Andes plateau in Bogota called Guatavita. According to them, every year, in the lake, a mysterious ceremony is performed by a local tribe named Muisca as an offering to their god.

The king, also called Zipa, will be covered with mud which is then coated again with gold dust. After that, he along with the other tribal elders will row a raft containing silver gold and other jewelry to the middle of the lake.

Once up in the middle, they will throw the silver gold into the lake. Then the king will plunge into the lake to rid his body of gold dust and mud covering his body.

Hearing this extraordinary story, Quesada decides to look for El Dorado.

He could not find the Muisca tribe or the golden city in question, but he managed to find the lake of Guatavita.

When this discovery was announced to Spain, an attempt was made to dredge the lake in 1545. This effort was led by Hernan Perez de Quesada, brother of Jimenez de Quesada.

Quesada uses the workers to dry the lake with giant buckets. After three months, the water level of the lake dropped about 3 meters and Quesada managed to get 18 kilograms of gold from it.

In the 1580s, a trader from Bogota named Antonio de Sepulvada mobilized 8,000 locals in an attempt to dry the lake by making water gates on the lake side. He managed to reduce the surface of the lake to 20 meters.

In this way he managed to find gold in considerable quantities. But then the lake side collapsed and killed many workers. The project was later canceled.

Today, we can still see the clipped side of the lake, the remnants of Sepulvada's efforts.

In the following years, the European ambition to find El Dorado reappeared when a mysterious man named Juan Martinez told of a golden city called Manoa. This city could be related to the legend of El Dorado, but it could not. To be sure, Europeans increasingly believe that the American continent to store wealth in large numbers.

Martinez recalled that he was an ammunition watchdog on a Spanish ship exploring the Caroni River connected to the Orinoco River. Their vessels roam the river deep into the jungle. However, the observed munition warehouse exploded so that this exploration was canceled. As a punishment for Martinez, he was left in the river by a canoe.

Then, Martinez confessed to meeting a group of friendly indian tribe members. They closed Martinez's eyes with cloth and took them to their kingdom called Manoa. Martinez said that Manoa King's palace that he visited was made of gold.

In 1586, this story reached the ears of Sir Walter Raleigh, a prominent explorer who founded the legendary Roanoke Island colony.

In 1595, Raleigh and his colleagues sailed across the Orinoco River in South America to find Manoa. However, the expedition did not produce anything. Interestingly, they found the Spanish Ship Anchor Martinez that was left when the explosion occurred on the ship. So, at least part of Martinez's story can be trusted.

Although it does not find Manoa's golden empire, Raleigh brings numerous samples of exotic flora and fauna and a beautiful stone that marks the extraordinary natural wealth of the place. Raleigh even wrote a book about his explorations.

Raleigh himself believes that the city of Manoa is actually located in the Parime lake area behind the mountains of Guyana region. It even provides a very accurate map of where this walayah is.

In 1618, Raleigh again made a second expedition to find the city at the expense of the British Empire. But this expedition also failed to bring results.

The story of El Dorado did not stop in medieval times. The explorers of the next centuries are still trying to find the golden city. Nevertheless, the concern for Lake Guatavita has never subsided.

In 1911, a gold-making company again tried his luck on Lake Guatavita. They managed to get rid of most of the lake's water by making tunnels and sluices. However, the mud of the lake immediately hardened and the rain soon filled the lake again. They only find some gold objects that are then auctioned off to pay off investors.

In the following years, the interest in finding El Dorado seemed to be diminishing. Most people start to think that El Dorado might just be a legend. There is even one suggestion that the Indians who tell about El Dorado may have lied to distract the conquerors from their village.

However, a major clue appeared in 1969.

Two workers digging in a small cave near Bogota accidentally found a golden statue. It was a raft with a tribal chief and eight men pedaling on it....

The world's largest Anaconda is found in the Amazon

Sounds like one episode of the Indiana Jones adventure movie. After 23 years of research on 3000 years old ancient culture on three continents using the help of satellite imagery, a father and son traveled enormously deep into the jungle of the Amazon jungle to confirm their theory that Anaconda Giant is much larger than it ever was known to live in amazon jungle

Mike Warner (73) and his son Greg (44) discovered a snake called 40 meters long with a body diameter of 2 meters. This snake has dwarfed all the giant snake ever known so far.

This anaconda body color is not green but dark brown and is known by locals as "Boa Hitam" or "Yacumama". "Yacumama is translated as" Mother of the Waters ", its wilderness jungle, and the presence of this snake has been confirmed by the history and culture of the Amazon community.

Mike, the blind next door has spent 23 years researching this creature, but only 6 months ago he got an extra boost when his son found his research documents and decided to join this extraordinary research. Mike, who has saved his life for this expedition, went to Amazon with Greg in a small team.

The locals interviewed said that when the snake swam, the river water would shake violently and the snake could pounce on a monkey that was in the tree at lightning speed. They then took over 700 photos and 5 hours of video footage. After that they travel back home to examine the photos.

"The data we collect is incredible, we find many paths created when the snake moves.We see trees as tall as 90 feet fall by this snake, and most importantly, we managed to take a photo of one of these creatures when he Is moving in the water. " Greg said.

Their team spent 12 days in the wilderness in March 2009 and announced their discovery on May 2, 2009.

Reports on the existence of a giant anaconda snake can be traced back to 1906 when the colonel Percy Fawcett who was sent by the Royal Geographical Society to create a map of the Amazon jungle found a footprint of anchors as wide as 6 feet, or about 1.8 meters. And according to Greg, Fawcett's colonel record has helped him find the giant snake.

Greg said, "The real hero is my father, he spent 23 years researching the existence of this snake and is determined to succeed when others are desperate."

Now they have shared their findings with the Peruvian Government, the National Geographic Society in Washington and Queens University in Belfast. And they plan to return to the forest again to find another giant sonacon

Rare white turtles found in China

It may look like a turkey that has just been skinned and ready to be roasted. But this unique animal is actually a very rare albino turtle. The turtle is found on the banks of the yellow river in Henan province, China.
White turtles have their own place in Chinese culture. The classic "trip west" novel that tells the story of Sun Go Kong and his friends once told of a god turned into a great white turtle after making a mistake.

However, unlike the characters in the novel, this white turtle is only 40 cm long and weighs 6.5 kg. His body is white and decorated with faded pink spots.

THE AVATAR CARTOON MADE IS AVAILABLE FROM DAJJAL STORY

Cartoon Movie Avatar: Legend of the Aang (in the US name Avatar: The Last Bender) is one of the most demanded cartoons, not only in Indonesia but also in other countries. Of the children who talk if it is still difficult, until the fathers who have some hair have started to whiten. Only, I have never heard of grandparents who like to watch Avatar.

The cartoon Avatar series adopts many of the cultural arts, customs, and mythology of the Asian continent in the creation of its fiction. Avatar also mixes philosophy, language, religion, martial arts, clothing, and culture from Asian countries such as China, Japan, Mongolia, Korea, India, and Tibet. This could be possible because the crew from the Avatar series series themselves employed a cultural consultant, Edwin Zane, to check the script of the story.

Etymologically, the term Avatar comes from Sanskrit (Avatāra) which literally means "to descend," or in the broad sense it means "The Coming of the Fair Queen", just as Maranatha is in Catholicism. In Hindu mythology, the gods manifest themselves as superhuman by falling incarnate into the world to restore equilibrium in the earth, after experiencing a time of extreme evil. The incarnation of this god, the last rescuer, is called the Avatar.

Later, there are states that the Avatar series contains a hidden mission for the benefit of the Dajjal. Quite possibly, this judgment departs from the recognition of Sai Baba, the eccentric man of Khurasan whom some consider to be the embodiment of the Dajjal in the 21st century, who indeed claimed to be the Avatar (the Savior). True or not Sai Baba a Dajjal, wallahu'alam bishawab.
There is also about the hidden mission of the Avatar cartoon series, it can be true and it can not. But given the Avatar included in the film cartoon network Holywood (Nickelodeon), apparently it needs to be further criticized. Because, Hollywood films are never free of value, always contain strange isms.

Wes Penre, one of the US artists who woke up rock bands in the US in the 1980s, said that if Walt Disney's out-of-the-box series seem to be safe, it actually contains teaching to small children about the world Magic and black magic that endanger the faith. Wes Penre has been converted and is now actively enlightening the United States and the world about the dangers of Hollywood products.
About the danger of whether or not the Avatar series really needs a more serious search. But certainly, soap operas made in Indonesia are ridiculous, away from the reality of the lives of our people, teach a lot of violence, get used to the pattern of life courtship (even the month of Ramadan yesterday there is a soap opera women wearing the veil but still dating! Naudzubillah!), And show Extraordinary wealth, this is far more dangerous in terms of aqidah. It is as if the success of life in this world is solely measured by how much we have accumulated wealth, not necessarily asking where it came from, no matter if it impoverishes others...?

Introduction of simple business and home networks

Setting up a network is a great way to use more of your computer, and to have fun with them. With network, you can:

• Sharing an Internet connection between multiple computers
• Sharing files between computers.

1. LAN network, that is network by using cable and some tools like Hub

To make Lan network, you have to prepare some equipments like

• UTP cable
• Rj45 connector
• Tang Krimping
• Test Signal
• Hub

• Prepare UTP cable according to cable length you need (max 100 m)
• Then peel the UTP cable at both ends (Be careful not to tear the small cable inside so it happens shorting)
• Sort the cable according to function (Stright or Cross)
• Set up Rj 45 Connector
• Flatten the small cables, then insert them into the RJ45 connector
• Then Press with Tang Krimping
• Do the same on the other end.
• Perform Test Testing with Test Signal tool, whether the cable connection is correct as expected.

2. WiFi Network (Wireless) is a wireless network, using Wifi Swich

• ADSL Modem with WIFI hub switch when you are using ADSL Modem
• Computer with WIFI Hub Switch, if you are using a USB Modem where your Ethernet card functions as a Router.

B. Internet Connection

1. Provider (Telephone / RF Cable) -> ADSL Modem -> Hub -> PC Server and Client

• Internet providers via telephone or RF cable will send a signal to the customer
• In order for Analog signal from Provider to be changed to Internet signal must use ADSL modem.
• ADSL Modem will change the analog signal from profider and outpunya connected to hub
• From the Internet signal hub is shared and connected to PC Server and All PC Client
• The PC Server function for this network system does not control the use of the Internet to the Client, but only controls the sharing of Files and printers.
• The Controlling Division of the Internet in this way is entirely the ADSL Modem acting as the Router

2. Provider (Telephone / RF Cable) -> ADSL Modem -> Wireless Switch Hub -> hub -> PC Server and Client

• Internet providers via telephone or RF cable will send a signal to the customer
• In order for Analog signal from Provider to be changed to Internet signal must use ADSL modem.
• ADSL Modem will change the analog signal from profider and outpunya connected to Wireles Switch Hub by using Cross cable
• From Wireles Switch Internet signal Hub Connected to Hub for Clent PC and Server using UTP cable network and share internet signal via Wireless to computer using WiFi
• The PC Server function for this network system does not control the use of the Internet to the Client, but only controls the sharing of Files and printers.
• The Controlling Division of the Internet in this way is entirely the ADSL Modem acting as the Router

3. Provider (Telephone / RF cable) -> ADSL Modem -> Ethernet Card 1 PC Server -> Bridge -> Ethernet Card 2 PC Server -> Hub -> PC Client

• Internet providers via telephone or RF cable will send a signal to the customer
• In order for Analog signal from Provider to be changed to Internet signal must use ADSL modem.
• From ADSL Internet Modem signal is forwarded to Ethernet Card 1 PC Server using UTP cable with Stright connection
• To connect Ethernet card 1 to Ethernet Card 2 on PC Server Bridge setting is done so that Internet signal forwarded by Ethernet Card 2 PC Server.
• The Lan output from Ethernet Card 2 is connected to the Hub, and from the hub connected to the entire PC Client.
• In this system Ethernet Card 2 acts as a router, so PC Server can completely control file sharing, printer and Internet sharing to PC Client

C. IP Settings

In order for a computer network connection, whether data sharing, printer or internet, you have to set up IP address of each computer, there should be no same IP in one computer network which will cause disruption of computer network

A Brief History of Karate

Karate (空 手 道) is a martial art originating from Japan. Karate martial arts brought into Japan via Okinawa. This martial art was first called "Tote" meaning "Chinese hand." When karate entered Japan, Japanese nationalism was at its height, so Sensei Gichin Funakoshi changed the kanji of Okinawa (Tote: Chinese Hand) in Japanese kanji Become a 'karate' (Hand Empty) to be more easily accepted by Japanese society.Karate consists of two kanji.The first is 'Kara' 空 and means 'empty' And second, 'te' 手, means 'hand'. The two kanji together mean "empty hands" 空手 (pinyin: kongshou).

According to the Zen-Nippon Karatedo Renmei / Japan Karatedo Federation (JKF) and the World Karatedo Federation (WKF), which is regarded as the main style of karate:

1. Shotokan

2. Goju-Ryu

3. Shito-Ryu

4. Wado-Ryu

These four streams are recognized as the main Karate style for participating in the formation of JKF and WKF.

But the world's leading karate style is not just the four styles above that alone. Several major streams such as Kyokushin, Shorin-ryu and Uechi-ryu are widespread to various countries of the world and are known as the famous Karate stream, though not included in the "big 4 WKF".

In Japan, the organization that embodies the Karate sport throughout Japan is JKF. The organization that embodies Karate all over the world is WKF formerly known as WUKO - (World Union of Karatedo Organizations). There is also ITKF (International Traditional Karate Federation) which accommodate traditional karate. The function of JKF and WKF is primarily to affirm Karate which is "without direct contact", in contrast to the flow of Kyokushin or Daidojuku "direct contact".

Basic karate exercises are divided into three as follows:

1. Kihon, that is exercising basic karate techniques such as hitting, kicking and parrying techniques.

2. Word, that is the practice of stance or karate flower.

3. Kumite, ie a sparring or sparring exercise.

In present day karate can also be divided into traditional flow and the flow of sport. The traditional flow is more emphasizing the martial arts and combat techniques while the sporting flow is more heavily employed for sports competitions...?

HISTORY OF THE PENCAK SILAT IN INDONESIA

Once in the days of our ancestors, the Indonesian nation has had a way to defend itself from the ferocity of nature. They created martial arts by mimicking animal movements such as apes, tigers, snakes or birds. It is also possible to develop from the skills of indigenous Indonesians in hunting and warfare using tools.

According to the Wikipedia site, pencak silat is expected to spread to the archipelago since the 7th century AD. Although its origin can not be determined exactly. Major kings such as Sriwijaya and Majapahit are said to have great swordsmen who master the martial arts.According to expert researcher silat Donald F.Draeger argues that the evidence of martial arts can be seen from various artifacts of weapons found from the classical period of Hindu-Buddhist and relief sculptures containing the attitude of silat martial arts in Prambanan and Borobudur temples. Whereas in the opinion of Sheikh Shamsuddin that there are The influence of martial arts from China and India in silat.Sejak early Malay culture has gained influence from the culture brought by the merchants and migrants from China.

The development of silat is influenced by the spreaders of Islam in the 14th century dinusantara.kala martial arts are taught together with religious lessons in Surau or Pesantren, silat also become part of spiritual practice.Dalam diverse tribes in Indonesia pencak silat is An indispensable part of the adatya ceremony

Silat then developed from martial arts and folk art dance, became part of the education of defending the country to face foreign invaders. In history against Dutch colonialism recorded many of the warriors who took up arms such as Sultan Agung, Prince Diponegoro, Cut Nyak Dien and many others .

Realizing the importance of developing the role of Pencak Silat then it is necessary to have a national organization, which can tie the flow of Pencak Silat that exist throughout indonesia.pada 18 May 1948 formed the Indonesian Pencak Silat Association or abbreviated IPSI.IPSI recorded as the oldest martial arts organization in the World.
