segita bermuda

Misteri melingkupi sebuah wilayah laut di dalam garis  imajiner yang menghubungkan  tiga wilayah yaitu  Bermuda, Puerto Riko, dan Miami di Amerika Serikat.
Ada yang menyebutnya ‘Segitiga Setan’, ‘Limbo the Lost’, ‘Twilight Zone’, dan yang paling tenar adalah sebutan ‘Segitiga Bermuda — terinspirasi dari artikel Vincent Gaddis di Majalah Argosy.
Meski, dalam peta Amerika Serikat, The U. S. Board of Geographic, tak ada tempat bernama ‘Segitiga Bermuda’.
Wilayah ini jadi salah satu lokasi paling misterius, horor, dan menakutkan di muka Bumi. Apalagi, dalam sejarahnya, banyak kapal dan pesawat yang tertelan di lokasi itu.
Legenda Segitiga Bermuda makin ramai diperbincangkan ketika  pada 5 Desember 1945 pukul 14.10 waktu setempat, lima pesawat yang dipiloti para penerbang  terlatih dari kesatuan Penerbangan 19 tiba-tiba hilang di segitiga itu. Padahal cuaca sedang cerah.
Para pilot sempat meminta pertolongan lewat radio, namun, mereka tiba-tiba raib. Pesawat yang ditugasi mencari mereka juga raib misterius. Dilaporkan enam pesawat dan 27 orang hilang dalam peristiwa itu.
Juga peristiwa hilangnya kapal induk USS Cyclops pada 1918, yang hingga saat ini jadi misteri terbesar dalam sejarah Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat.
Berbagai macam dugaan aneh muncul, ada yang mengatakan alien yang bersembunyi di bawah lautan, portal ke dimensi lain, gas methan, lokasi Atlantis yang hilang, hingga rumah iblis, Dajal.
Namun, ada juga penjelasan ilmiah yang lebih layak dipertimbangkan untuk menjawab misteri ini
***
Seperti di muat laman LiveScience, ada jawaban logis untuk menjelaskan hilangnya kapal atau pesawat di Segitiga Bermuda itu.
Daerah Segitiga Bermuda rentan terhadap badai tak terduga. Ada gelombang — Gulf Stream — yang sangat cepat dan turbulen — menelan serpihan kapal, pesawat, beserta penumpangnya.  Menghapus bukti-bukti terjadinya bencana.
Tak hanya itu, Laut di Segitiga Bermuda memiliki kedalaman hingga 30.000 meter atau lebih dari 9.000 meter dengan kondisi topografinya bisa ‘menelan’ kapal sehingga  tak pernah ditemukan.
Laman Sejarah Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat, www.history.navy.mil, menjelaskan bahwa faktor signifikan yang menyebabkan hilangnya kapal  di Segitiga Bermuda adalah arus laut yang kuat disebut Gulf Stream.
Sebelum telegraf, radio dan radar ditemukan, pelaut tidak tahu ada badai atau angin topan berada di dekatnya.Bencana itu baru ketahuan setelah ada perubahan di cakrawala.
Badai yang datang tiba-tiba itulah yang menyebabkan kapal angkatan laut  hilang di Bahama, Saratoga. Kapal dan-krunya hilang tak berbekas pada 18 Maret 1781.
Dijelaskan juga bahwa tidak hanya di Segitiga Bermuda, banyak kapal-kapal Angkatan Laut AS lainnya telah hilang di laut karena  badai di seluruh dunia — secara mendadak.
Kapal dan pesawat bisa hilang secara tiba-tiba di wilayah Segitiga Bermuda itu karena anomali kompas yang bisa mengacaukan sistem navigasi. Soal adanya anomali ini pernah dicatat oleh Columbus dalam pelayarannya.
Dalam sejumlah catatan disebutkan bahwa Segitiga Bermuda adalah salah satu dari dua  lokasi di dunia yang memiliki anomali. Wilayah lain adalah laut Jepang dan Filipina, yang juga dikenal dengan nama yang mirip, ‘Segitiga Formosa’.
***
Faktor cuaca juga ikut berperan mengapa kapal dan pesawat hilang di Bermuda. Pola cuaca Karibia-Atlantik sangat ekstrim. Badai lokal yang mendadak menimbulkan cipratan air kencang yang bisa jadi bencana bagi pelaut maupun pilot.
Penelitian satelit bahkan membuktikan, adanya gelombang dahsyat setinggi 80 kaki atau bahkan lebih,  terjadi di wilayah laut terbuka, seperti halnya Segitiga Bermuda.
Gelombang ini bisa menghancurkan kapal besar dan membuatnya berkeping-keping.
Ada juga faktor topografi dasar laut di Segitiga Bermuda. Dari benting [gundukan pasir tengah laut], pulau di bawah laut, hingga palung yang luar biasa dalam.
Dengan kombinasi arus kuat, kapal atau pesawat bisa terjebak di dasar laut untuk selamanya.
Sementara, seperti dimuat laman Pattayadailynews, 6 Mei 2010, ahli geokimia, Richard McIver pada 1981 memperkenalkan teori peran gas metan hidrat dalam misteri Segitiga Bermuda.
Kata dia, longsor di dasar Segitiga Bermuda besar kemungkinan mengakibatkan lumpur dan batu besar meluncur dengan cepat — yang akhirnya merobek dasar laut dan membuka selubung lapisan gas.
Gas itu lalu pecah dan mengeluarkan metana yang menyebabkan gelombang besar.  Gas itu meledak di permukaan air tanpa peringatan dan menyulitkan setiap kapal atau pesawat yang lewat di lokasi itu.
Yang juga menyebabkan kecelakaan adalah faktor mnusia. Banyak pelaut dengan pengetahuan seadanya nekat menyeberangi daerah serawan Segitiga Bermuda.
Penjaga laut Amerika Serikat selama ini telah mengabaikan faktor mitos atau fiksi di Segitiga Bermuda. Menurut pengalaman mereka, gabungan kekuatan alam dengan segala ketidakpastiannya adalah biang keladi ‘kekalahan’ manusia di Segitiga Bermuda

My favorite culture from my country

I have a culture from my country. There is batik. Batik is one way of making fabric. Besides batik can refer to two things. The first is the technique of coloring cloth using the night to prevent staining in part of the fabric. In the international literature, this technique is known as a wax-resist dyeing. The second notion is the fabric or clothing made ​​with these techniques, including the use of certain motives which have peculiarities. Batik Indonesia, as the overall engineering, technology, and development-related motives and culture, UNESCO has been designated as a Cultural Heritage for Humanity Oral and Nonbendawi (Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity) since October 2, 2009.


Etymology

The word "batik" is derived from a combination of two Javanese word "amba", meaning "writing" and "point" which means "point". [Citation needed]

History of batik technique
 
Batik textiles from Niya (Tarim Basin), China
 
Detail carving cloth worn Prajnaparamita, statues that come from East Java, the 13th century. Carving patterns intricate flowers is similar to the Javanese traditional batik patterns now.

Art staining fabric with stain prevention techniques using night is one of the ancient art form. The discovery in Egypt showed that this technique has been known since the 4th century BC, with the discovery of mummy wrapping cloth which is also coated the night to form a pattern. In Asia, a similar technique of batik is also applied in China during the T'ang Dynasty (618-907) as well as in India and Japan during the Nara period (645-794). In Africa, such as batik technique known by the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria, and the Soninke and Wolof tribe in Senegal. In Indonesia, batik is believed to have existed since the time of Majapahit, and became very popular late eighteenth century or early nineteenth century. Produced batik batik is all to the early twentieth century and the new batik known after World War I or around the 1920's.

Although the word "batik" is derived from the Javanese, the presence of batik in Java itself is not recorded. G.P. Rouffaer argue that the technique of batik was probably introduced from India or Sri Lanka in the 6th century or the other side 7.Di, JLA Brandes (Dutch archaeologist) and F.A. Sutjipto (archaeologist Indonesia) believe that the tradition of batik is a native of the region such as the Toraja, Flores, Halmahera and Papua. It should be noted that these regions are not areas that are influenced by Hinduism but known to have the ancient tradition of batik making.

G.P. Rouffaer gringsing also reported that the pattern has been known since the 12th century in Kediri, East Java. He concluded that this pattern can only be formed by using a canting, so he argues that the canting is found in Java in the period around itu.Detil engraving that resembles the pattern of batik cloth worn by the Prajnaparamita, the Buddhist statues of the goddess of wisdom from East Java, the 13th century. Detailed clothing displaying patterns of plant tendrils and intricate flowers that are similar to traditional Javanese batik pattern that can be found now. This shows that making a complex batik patterns that can only be made with a canting has been known in Java since the 13th century or even earlier.

Legend in Malay literature of the 17th century, Sulalatus Salatin told Admiral Hang Nadim ordered by Sultan Mahmud to sail to India to get 140 pieces of fabric litter with 40 kinds of flower patterns on each page. Unable to fulfill the order, he made himself that the fabrics. But unfortunately shipwrecked on the way home and only able to bring four pieces that make the Emperor kecewa.Oleh some commentators, WHO? litter was interpreted as batik.

In European literature, batik technique was first told in the book History of Java (London, 1817) writings of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. He was the British governor of Java during Napoleon occupied the Netherlands. In 1873 a Dutch merchant Van Rijekevorsel give a piece of batik, which is obtained during a visit to Indonesia to the Ethnic Museum in Rotterdam and in the early 19th century, it began to reach the golden batik. When exhibited at the World Exposition in Paris in 1900, Indonesian batik riveting public and artists.

Since industrialization and globalization, which introduces automation techniques, batik is a new type appeared, known as batik and batik prints, while those produced in traditional batik techniques handwriting using canting and night is called batik. At the same time, immigrants from Indonesia to Malaya Fellowship also carries batik with them.

Batik is a craft that has high artistic value and has become part of the culture of Indonesia (especially Java) since long. Javanese women in the past made their skills in batik for a living, so in the past, batik work is exclusively women's work until the discovery of "Batik Cap" which allows the entry of men into the field. There are some exceptions to this phenomenon, namely the coastal batik masculine lines as can be seen in shades of "Mega Clouds", which in some coastal areas batik work is common for men.

The tradition of batik was originally a hereditary tradition, so that occasionally a recognizable motif batik originated from a particular family. Some batik may indicate the status of a person.
