Who was Queen of South? Perhaps, according to who owns the story, at first was a woman, who berparas lovely, Kadita name. Because of her beauty, he is often called the Goddess Srengenge, which meant the Sun Jelita. Kadita is the daughter of King Munding Wangi. Although Kadita very beautiful face, still mourning the King has no heir that can be prepared. Only after the king marry Goddess Pearl was born a boy. However, so get more attention, Goddess Pearl began to ask the demands, among other things, ensuring he will replace his son's throne and the Goddess Kadita should be expelled from the palace. Released the first request, but to expel Kadita, King Munding Wangi not willing.

"It's outrageous," his saying. "I'm not willing to grant your petition which was infamous," he continued. Hearing this, Goddess Pearl even smile very sweet, so the anger of King, slowly disappeared. However, in the heart's second wife was smoldering resentment.

The next day, early in the morning, care of Pearl pengutus host summoned a sorcerer, the Jahil name. Commanded him, for the Goddess Kadita shipped witchcraft.

"Make her mangy and scabby," he ordered. "If successful, the great prize for you!" He continued. The Jahil menyanggupinya. In the evening, when Kadita was asleep, go into his room breeze. The wind was foul, carrion-like odor. When Kadita awoke, she screamed. Her whole body is full of scabies, purulent and highly smelled bad.

When King Munding Wangi hear this news in the morning, very sedihlah heart. In my heart to know that the illness suffered by Kadita not unusual, but witchcraft. King also had expected, so maybe Pearl who planned it. It's just that. How to prove it. In case of dizziness, the King must immediately decide.

Want to do with Kadita. At the urging of the governor, which was originally a very beautiful daughter that should be thrown away so as not to make disgrace.

So the Kadita alone, like a beggar who was expelled from the homes of the rich. His heart was shattered; berlinangan tears. But he still believes, that the Creator will not allow the creature creation persecuted each other. Mix hands will surely arrive. For that, like her grandmother had taught the deceased, that he should not hold grudges and hate those who hate it.

Day and night he walked, and been seven days and seven nights gone through time, until finally he reached the coast of the South Seas. Then stood looking at the extent of the ocean, it is like hearing a voice calling him to plunge into the sea. When he followed the call, so touched the water, his body recovered. Be it a beautiful woman like normal. Not only that, he soon mastered all the oceans and its contents and establish the kingdom of the majestic, strong, beautiful and dignified.

They can be abundant wealth but had to sacrifice family and will even die before their time, their souls will become slaves to the triumph of the South Sea Palace.

Prambanan,...the most beautiful temple in the world

Prambanan is a stunningly beautiful building built in the 10th century during the reign of two kings, and Rakai Rakai Pikatan Balitung. Rose as high as 47 meters (5 meters higher than Borobudur temple), the foundation of this temple has fulfilled the desire to show Hindu triumph in the land of Java. This temple is located 17 kilometers from the city center, in the middle of an area that now functions as beautiful park.

There is a legend that Javanese people always tell about this temple. Once, a man named Bandung Bondowoso loved Roro Jonggrang. Because of his love, Jonggrang asked Bondowoso make 1000 temples with statues in one night. The request was nearly fulfilled Jonggrang asked the villagers to pound rice and make a big fire that created an atmosphere like the morning. Bondowoso who only completed 999 statues cursed Jonggrang be a statue of the 1000 because he felt cheated.

Prambanan temple has three main temples in the primary yard, namely Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva. The three temples are a symbol of Trimurti in Hindu belief. All of them face east. Each main temple has accompanying temple facing to the west, namely Nandini for Shiva, Swan to Brahma, and Garuda for Vishnu. In addition, there are 2 temples wedge, 4 color temples and 4 corner temples. In the second there are 224 temples.

Entering the Shiva temple located in the middle and the highest building, you will find a room 4. One main room contains a statue of Shiva, while the other 3 rooms each containing a statue of Durga (Shiva's wife), Agastya (Shiva's teacher), and Ganesha (Shiva's son). Durga is touted as the statue of Roro Jonggrang described in the legend above.

In the Vishnu temple is located in the north of Shiva temple, you will only see one room containing a statue of Vishnu. Brahma temple is located south of Shiva temple, you will only find one room with a statue of Brahma.

Quite attractive accompanying temple is Garuda temple that is located near the Vishnu temple. This temple keeps a story of half-bird human being named Garuda. Garuda is a mystical bird in Hindu mythology, who was gold, white face, red wings, beak and wings like eagles. It is estimated, the figure is Hindu adaptation of Bennu (means 'rises' or 'shining', usually associated with the god Re) in ancient Egyptian mythology or Phoenix in Old Greek mythology. Garuda succeeded in saving his mother from the curse of Aruna (Garuda is born handicapped brother) by stealing Tirta Amrita (holy water of the gods).

The ability to save that which was admired by many people until now and used for various purposes. Indonesia used it to sign the country. That said, the creator of the emblem of Garuda Pancasila find inspiration in this temple. Other countries also use it to sign the country is Thailand, with the same reason but the adaptation of different shape and appearance. In Thailand, Garuda is known or Krut Pha Krut.

Prambanan also has panels of relief describing the story of Ramayana. According to experts, the relief is similar to the Ramayana story is revealed through oral traditions. Another interesting relief is Kalpataru tree that the Hindu religion is considered as a tree of life, sustainability and environmental compatibility. In Prambanan, relief of Kalpataru tree is described middle flanking a lion. The existence of this tree makes experts consider that the people of the 9th century had wisdom to manage its environment.

Just as the figure of Garuda, Kalpataru is now also used for various purposes. In Indonesia, Kalpataru became a symbol of Forum for Environment (WALHI). In fact, some scientists in Bali to develop the concept of Tri Hita Karana for environment conservation by seeing Kalpataru relief in this temple. The tree of life can also be found on the mountains that used to open the puppet arts. A proof that the relief panels in Prambanan has worldwide.

If careful, you can also see various birds relief, this time a real bird. Bird reliefs at Prambanan are so natural that biologists can identify their genus. One was relief of the Yellow-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea) that invite questions. Why, the bird was actually found only in Masakambing Island, an island in the Java Sea. Then, whether the type that were once numerous in Yogyakarta? The answer please find out for yourself. Because, until now no one who can solve the mystery.

According to the local community, this castle has a door out underground.

Fort Marlborough is the biggest legacy of Indonesia's largest English. Marlborough Castle really is not just a military fortress, because it is built for the sake of trade; guarantee the smooth supply of pepper for the British trading companies, East India Company, and supervision of commercial shipping lane through the Sunda Strait. Fortress dual role: military defense headquarters as well as office and commercial center of British rule.

Bengkulu is the capital of the presidency (a collection of area residents) England on the west coast of Sumatra. Region was controlled from Fort Marlborough. Britain had also built forts and functions similar to a larger role in Madras, India, the Fort St. George. From this Madras, East India Company to develop the influence to the Asia Pacific region, including Bengkulu.

Fort Marlborough inhabited by civil servants and British soldiers. In a note the British Library, Oriental and India Office Collections in 1792 there were 90 civilian and military personnel live and work in Fort Marlborough. Officials or senior officers live in the castle with the family environment. This fortress-like dwelling in a small city with thick walls. Like life, the records concerning marriage, baptism, and death "resident" even this fortress can still be saved.

Marlborough Castle spatial design reflects the diversity of community activities. The complex of buildings is 44100.5 square meters, but the total buildings in the fort only about 20 percent. Part fort the rest function as open space. Castle Buildings Marlborough is very strong physically, among others, proved when an earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale devastated thousands of buildings and settlements Bengkulu earthquake of 2000 and to 7.9 on the Richter scale, the fort was no significant damage. In fact, the construction of the fort was not using reinforced concrete.

On the south side of the road was lined three tombs, one of which grave-Resident Thomas Parr was killed in December 1807. The existence of the cemetery showing the function of the fort to accommodate all the activities of residents from birth to death.

Why Use PASCAL ?

Why use Pascal

“A low level language is one whose programs require attention to the irrelevant.”
[edit]
Introduction

Pascal often comes under attack as a language which should be dead, or as a language not suitable for very much.

This document will discuss these claims and add latest informations about pascal as of 2005 and beyond.

What is Pascal ?

Pascal is a very clean programming language, which looks more like real languages in the sense that it uses real English words as keywords rather than random ASCII characters. This is important in understanding existing code as well as debugging because people don't read individual characters but whole words.

A common misconception is that Pascal started as a teaching language. While this is partially true, the associations are usually wrong; usually that makes people expect systems like Logo, limited playing grounds for children.

Pascal, like its predecessor ALGOL(-60), however was primarily designed as a language for formal specification and teaching of algorithms, mostly with future engineers and computer scientists as target. Contrary to ALGOL-68, an accent was put on simplicity. This turned out to be beneficial for compiler construction.

The initial Pascal dialects had a series of serious ugliness (like untyped procedure variables) that were quickly remedied, way before the language's prime time in the eighties. (revised J&W and early standardization trajectory)

Further modernization and facilities for interfacing to lower level systems were added to nearly every dialect. These weren't standarized back into the language mostly, but this was normal at the time (way before C and POSIX standards). However the dialects were not entirely random, and could be classified into two major streams, UCSD/Borland like and ISO standards compliant, with Apple creating a hybrid between the two (UCSD in origin, but incorporating most level 1 ISO features)

Over the years specially the Borland stream language has matured and gained all capabilities necessary for up-to-date large scale software projects (for example the Free Pascal compiler or the Lazarus IDE).

The particular strength of Pascal is that most of the developing time is spent on the program itself, contrary to C and C++ like language, where the developer needs to focus on managing the memory of variables or the structure of very basic things like passing parameters and returning them back again.

As a result, Pascal developers do not have to learn a new sub-language inside the same language, like C++, STL, MFC.
[edit]
The Readln and Writeln effect

Most developers, who ever touched Pascal, did not like the language, because they only learned some very basic commands and how to write a more structured code than their mind was thinking at the time.

That is, why languages such as C and Perl, for example, have tended to win the popularity contests. While Pascal seems very basic and very minimalistic, when you uncover the true language, you find that it is much easier to create a program in Pascal than in C, Java and other popular languages. Even languages such as Python, that is popular and still remains structured, have many elements of a disoriented language. That issue arrives first of all from the attempt to create the most “perfect” programming language, that will be easy to use, and have the cleanest way to create things.

Halmahera Edy, hell is that?

There was Halmahera Edy! Hell hell, Halmahera Edy's?

More precisely this way, the condition of the waters of the Raja Ampat Islands are influenced by water masses from the western Pacific Ocean. The proof is, the current that moves from east to northeast direction (North-East) and parallel to the northern mainland of Papua.

When we reached the Sea Halmahera in the north of Raja Ampat, most current moving southward and toward shipping lanes Jailolo. There is also a small flow turning towards Dampier Strait. Just info, Dampier Strait is the strait that connects the Island and Island Batanta Waigeo.

Most of the flow is then turned toward the Pacific Ocean. Well, this is the current named Edy Halmahera by the researchers. The existence of these currents makes the waters of the Raja Ampat to be very fertile. Plus, the seawater surface temperature around 28 o C to 27oC at a certain depth. Light can penetrate up to 30-37 meters with a very high salinity. That is why, very abundant coral reefs in Raja Ampat. Plankton that are part of coral reef ecosystems are also abundant.

Coral reef ecosystems were able to actively manage its own food for organsisme-organisms in it. Although coral reefs are usually grown in sea waters which oligoptrik (which has the nutrients and very little nutrients.) So no wonder, when the waters of Raja Ampat is the gathering place a variety of fish species because of the needs of producers of food (plankton) to consumers (the fish) are met.

Want to go there?

For those interested in stopping for a moment in Raja Ampat, according to my magazine (do not call the brand, mistaken for promotion later: mrgreen:) You can find a flight from Jakarta to Sorong is via Manado. Long flights of approximately 6 hours. If you've arrived at Sorong, please go to Waisai, Kota Raja Ampat. Happy traveling!

How to Create Google Adsense Pages
First let me preface this article by stating that you should NOT create pages for the "gaming" of AdSense. Most companies who use AdWords are small to medium sized businesses trying to grow.

With rampant click fraud, those advertisers won't be able to advertise, and AdSense won't pay out as well.

That said, let's begin the process.

For our example, our topic is that of "widgets", so where do get started?

Create the page - Sounds simple enough, but there are some coding standards you should always use. They are:
Name of the page - Use the name of the keyword you are targeting. So, in this example it would be widget.htm. You can use your web server's technology as well, but if in doubt, you can never go wrong with the .htm
Title the page - Use the keyword again for the title.
Meta Tags - Yes, they are still used. Make sure you include the keywords in your meta keyword list, and give a definition of the word in your meta description tag
H1 - Put your keyword in stylized H1 tags. Use CSS to make the tag look consistent to the rest of your site
Content - This is often the biggest obstacle non-writers have. Don't worry, follow these steps and you'll soon be on your way to original content.
Go to MSN, Yahoo and Google
Enter your keyword into the search box
Look at the top 5 sites listed from each search engine
Educate yourself on the topic from the content found on these sites
Page Copy - Now that you've absorbed more information, compose your own page of ORIGINAL content. You can take bits and pieces from the other pages, but be sure to inject your personality into your writing. That will make it uniquely yours.

Links - Don't forget to link to authority sites about your subject. It's very natural for web pages to have links to other sites, don't forget about this key point. Take a moment to see why you need outbound links.

Traffic - The most obvious is getting traffic to your site. Your site will have higher paying ads if your page gets more traffic. If you need help with this, be sure to visit the SEO resources section.

Personally, I tried using the traffic generating sites, and quite frankly, they are a waste of time. Sure you'll build up your traffic numbers, but it's usually from an autosurfing program.

One last note. On September 1st, 2005 Google shut down my account because they suspected click fraud. I really don't have a problem with them shutting me down, because as an advertiser I want to know that they are watching my money. However, I believe they should show proof of the supposed fraudulent activity. I was even proactive in letting them know when I saw suspicious activity, but they never replied to my inquires.

Here's a great article on what to watch for, and how click fraud is committed.

I hope you have better luck than I did.

Ramayana Ballet, Drama in Typical Javanese Dance

Ramayana ballet is an art show beautiful, amazing and difficult to compare. This performance is able to unite various Javanese arts such as dance, drama and music on one stage and one momentum to present the Ramayana story, legendary epic written by Valmiki in Sanskrit.

The story of Ramayana is sung on this show is similar to that engraved on Prambanan temple. As many told, the Ramayana story carved on the most beautiful Hindu temple similar to the story in oral tradition in India. The road is long and thrilling story was summarized in four plays or round, abduction of Sinta, Anoman mission to Lanka, Ravana Kumbhakarna or death, and the meeting re-Rama Sinta.

All the stories presented in a series of dance movements performed by the lovely dancers accompanied by gamelan music. You are invited to actually dissolve in the story and look at every movement of the dancers to know the storyline. There's no spoken dialogue of the dancers, the only speakers are sinden describing the way the story through the songs in the Java language with a distinctive voice.

The story begins when King Janaka held a contest to determine the companion Dewi Shinta (daughter) who eventually won by Rama Wijaya. Continuing with the adventures of Rama, Shinta and Rama's brother Lakshmana in the Forest named Dandaka. In the forest they met that Ravana who want to have because it is considered as an incarnation Shinta Dewi Widowati, a woman who has long sought.

To attract the attention of Shinta, Ravana change of his followers named Marica to Deer. The effort was successful because it attracted and asked Rama Shinta chase. Laksama Rama after a long search had not come back while Shinta abandoned and given a magic circle for protection in the form of Ravana could kidnap. Protection failed because after Ravana kidnapped Shinta successfully transform themselves into Durna character.

At the end of the story, Shinta been won back from Ravana by Hanuman, the figure of the agile and powerful ape. But when brought back, Rama Shinta just do not believe anymore and consider it has been tainted. To prove the holiness, Shinta asked to burn herself. Purity Shinta proved his body was not burned, but she became more beautiful. Finally, Rama accepted her as his wife.

You will not be disappointed if this excellent performance because not only dance and music are prepared. Lighting is set in such a way that not only the light that dumb, but is able to describe certain events in the story. So did the makeup on each dancer, not only beautify but also able to describe the character of the man who played so the audience can easily recognize even though there was no dialogue.

You also see not only dance but also interesting acts such as fireball game and agility acrobat. A captivating game fireball could be found which had an original type Hanuman burned alive just managed to burn Ravana's kingdom Alengkadiraja. While the stunt could be found when Hanuman fought with the followers of Ravana. Games flame when Shinta would burn himself is also interesting to watch.

In Yogyakarta, there are two places to watch the Ramayana ballet. First, in Purawisata Yogyakarta is located at Jalan Brig Katamso, east of Sultan Palace. In the place that had a record-breaking Indonesian Record Museum (MURI) in 2002 after a staged ballet every day without ever absent for 25 years, you will get a dinner package at once to see ballet. Places to watch the other is in Prambanan Temple, the place of the original Ramayana story carved on temple reliefs.

Taman Sari Guesthouse later better known as Taman Sari Palace is located west of Yogyakarta Palace was built during the reign of Sultan Hamengku Buwana I and completed in the reign of Sultan Hamengku Buwana II. However, the location of Taman Sari Guesthouse as a bathing place has been known long before.

Version Two Stories About Taman Sari Pesanggrahan Development

1. First Version

In the first version is told that in Mancingan (an area on the south coast of Yogyakarta) there is a freak of unknown origin. Communities in these areas many have surmised that these people including compatriots genie or forest dwellers. Community think so because the person is using a language not understood by local people. Strange people are then faced with the Sultan Hamengku Buwana II who was then still ruled. Apparently Sultan Hamengku Buwana II is pleased to take that person as a servant. After a while the man can speak Javanese. Based on the testimony he admitted as the Portuguese are in the dialect of Java called Portegis. People Portegis was then used as a servant who headed the creation of buildings (architects).

Sultan Hamengku Buwana II also ordered the person to make a fort. Apparently Sultan Hamengku Buwana II very pleased on his work. The person is then given a position as village headman, that person was known by the name or Demat Demat Portegis Tegis. Demat Tegis is what supposedly ordered to build Pesanggrahan Taman Sari.

In addition, the Sultan Hamengku Buwana I also ordered from the Regent Madison to be made Jempana 'stretcher' as a vehicle bride Sultan Hamengku Buwana I.

Jakarta tourism

Jakarta - Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is the largest city in Indonesia. The city has all the modern amenities. But in its quest for modernization the city has not forgotten its past and has carefully preserved its rich cultural heritage. Apart from the skyscrapers, colonial structures built by European powers form an integral part of Jakarta's skyline.

Jakarta is a city of many fascinating facets. It is the main gateway to Indonesia. In recent years, Jakarta has expanded its facilities for visitors with multi-star luxury hotels, fine restaurants, exciting nightlife and modern shopping centers. Food is quite cheap in Jakarta and is available in great variety.

History of Jakarta
Jakarta was a small harbor town when the last Hindu Kingdom of Java, Kingdom of Pajajaran, was ruling in 14th century. Muslim ruler Fatahilklah conquered the city and changed the name to Jayakarta or the City of Victory on June 22, 1527. Later on, the Dutch conquered the city in 1619 and built a new city Batavia, which remained the center of power for them in South East Asia for more than 300 years. The city came under the siege of Japanese Imperial Forces in 1941 during the Second World War and its name was changed back to Jakarta (from Jayakarta). The defeat of Japan did not allow them to remain in Indonesia for long. Dutch again tried to capture the city but by now freedom struggle was already quite strong in the country and on August 17, 1945, the Indonesian leaders proclaimed its independence from foreign rule in Jakarta.

Weather of Jakarta
Jakarta has tropical climate with a high average humidity. There is not much difference in the day and night temperature. Average day temperature is 28ºC while average night temperature is a bit cooler at 25ºC. October to April is the wet season while the dry season is from May to September.

Toba tour collapsed, in addition to the crisis was also aggravated by smog, the fall in Sibolangit Garuda, Bali Bombings, sampat tsunami in Aceh. Last''spread rumors that there will be a big eruption at Lake Toba. It makes people afraid to come here,''said Saragih still with sad expression. Be the enchanting Lake Toba now languish. Left by admirers. He is like a sleeping angel. Her beauty was closed, although not yet faded.
In the village of Tomok for example, people who used to rely on the lives of many tourism sector is now back to farming. ''Now the few who came, not like before,''one trader said Linda clothes near the tomb of King Sidabutar in Tomok. The beauty of Toba is now not strong enough to bring in tourists. Plus, Saragih said, they feel dianaktirikan by the central government in the matter of promotion of tourism. ''In a very poor campaign. Moreover, with this autonomy, the ability of very limited area.''

Hardyanto Hasono, tourism actors who are also administrators of Lake Toba ASITA Jakarta said today it could not expect much from foreign tourists. This was said because the package tours of Lake Toba is no longer on sale in Europe. ''I think it's time the perpetrator of tourism in North Sumatra thinking about other markets. For example, Malaysia and China. So do not expect us to sell to Europe,''he said.

In addition to Malaysia market, Hardyanto also suggested that local tourist potential are being developed. ''I think the local tourist market is great, but do have to work hard,''he said. Saragih said the real potential of tourism in Lake Toba can be developed. That among other things can be done through the coordination of seven districts around Lake Toba. ''Coordination at the provincial level should be increased,''he suggested.

In addition to natural attractions, Toba he has another attraction. Namely Samosir Island with its cultural, spiritual tours North Tapanuli, and Toba themselves become historical tourism. What is meant by historical tour Saragih, President Megawati has launched the construction of Bung Karno Monument in 2004. But until now there is no realization. ''Now we bill on the president's promise now, because it's the government's commitment,''firmly Saragih.
Not only about the decline of tourists, the beauty of the Toba now also face the threat. Ecosystem of Lake Toba region is threatened by water hyacinth plants which cover the surface of many lakes. Another threat, Saragih said, is a pig farm in Salbe, District Purba. Livestock waste discharged into the lake fear it would disrupt the ecosystem of the lake in the long term. Another threat is the impact of the number of floating cages for fish. Tilapia fish rearing is done by the Swiss Foreign Investment. Maintenance of fish in floating cages used in the form of fish feed pellets. The remains of exhaust can cause heavy metals in lake sediments.

From the top of the hill, when the sun about to sink, the reflection of red light refracted in a vast lake. It's stunning scenery. Unfortunately not many now who want to enjoy it.
