History Of Fighter Aircraft

A. Definition and History of Combat Aircraft

1. Understanding Fighter

Fighter aircraft is a military aircraft designed to attack other aircraft in the air. Unlike the bomber, designed to strike targets on the surface. Relatively smaller fighter, fast, and agile. Fighter aircraft originally developed in World War I to deal with bombers and air balloon from commonly used for ground attack and reconnaissance.

Also a fighter plane used for the war in the air. Generally fighter slim shape, can move swiftly, bringing canon (machine gun) as well as missiles and bombs, high-speed, fitted with avionics equipment which is more than civil aircraft / passenger as opposed to radar that can detect and lock in long-range target opponent. Moreover, equipped with radar-jamming equipment and detractors, to enabled "stealth"

2. History Of Fighter Aircraft

At first people used kites to frighten the enemy, and provides information on the position of both friend and foe alike or even scare the enemy. This custom made by the ancient Chinese. Then the kite is equipped with humans to determine in detail the position of the opponent.

The discovery Zeppelin airship and also marked the development of military aircraft. Used from simply reconnaissance and used as bombers to bomb the enemy positions. Noted that utilize them are German zeppelins to bomb Britain in World War I. On the way planes are made and developed for the benefit of war and the battle in particular dogfight.

The first fighter aircraft originally a wooden double wing fed light machine gun. In World War II, more aircraft were made of metal, single-winged, and use machine guns embedded in the wings. After World War II, began to replace the turbojet engine piston engines, and missiles began to be used to replace the machine gun as the primary weapon.

Classification is based on the generation fighter aircraft. Use of this generation was originally used in the Russian defense officials, who called the F-22 Raptor fighter the United States as the "fifth generation".

History of Aircraft

Aircraft heavier than air was first flown by the Wright Brothers (Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright) using its own aircraft design called the Flyer, which was launched in 1903 in the United States. In addition to the Wright brothers, there were several other aircraft inventor who invented airplanes include Samuel F Cody who perform the action on the field Fanborough, England in 1910. As for the aircraft that is lighter than air flight was much earlier. First flight using a hot air balloon found a French berkebangsaaan named Joseph Montgolfier Montgolfier and Etiene occurred in 1782, then refined a German named Ferdinand von Zeppelin by modifying the cigar-shaped balloon that is used to carry passengers and goods in 1900.

In the following year balloon Zeppelin mengusai air freight to ship disaster Zeppelin on trans-Atlantic trip in New Jersey 1936 which marked the end of an era Zeppelin though still used before World War II. After Wright era, many aircraft are modified both designs, shapes and aircraft engines to meet the transportation needs of larger commercial udara.Pesawat made in 1949 named Bristol Brabazon.Sampai now the world's largest passenger plane made by Airbus industrie of European A380.

The first aircraft made by Otto Lilienthal, he was a young German. began when he saw an eagle fly, then he tried to make the plane with at kepakkan Lilienthal. He made 18 airplane kite but unfortunately he died in 1896 due to a plane crash.

Then the Wright brothers (Wright brothers), Orville (19 August 1871-30 January 1948) and Wilbur (16 April 1867-30 May 1912) are two Americans who are noted as the inventor of airplanes as they managed to build the first aircraft was successfully flown and controlled by man on December 17, 1903, named Flyer.

Two years after their discovery, the two brothers developed a 'flying machine' them to form aircraft taking wing as we now know it. Although they were not the first to make trial or experiment aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that aircraft with wing-mounted rigid control. The greatest breakthrough was the invention of "three axis control 'which is used by all aircraft flying today.

They gained the mechanical skills of working in their shop filled with printing presses, bicycles, motors, and other machinery. From bikes they got the idea that an unstable aircraft can be controlled with exercise. The Wright brothers were two of seven brothers. In elementary school, Orville been expelled from school.

In 1878, their father bought 'helicopter' toys for their two youngest children are. Toys were made of bamboo and rubber propeller to rotate it. Wilbur and Orville played it to break, and then make their own toys, they admitted that the experience of playing with a bamboo helicopter became the source for their interest in a machine that can fly.

History of the United States

History of the founding of the United States of America (USA / United States of America) interesting to know why America is a superpower that controls the world's economy, military, and technological world.

United States is located in the middle of the North American continent, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Country United States stretches from the Atlantic Ocean on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west coast, including the islands of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, the state of Alaska at the northern tip of the Americas, and several other territories.

Why Americans dubbed as the "Uncle Sam" (Uncle Sam)?. Here's the story, in the past there was a man named Samuel Wilson. He was born in Arlington, dated 13 September 1766. At age 14, he became a volunteer fighter for his country. As an adult, he opened a meat packing business in New York. He supplied meat bertong cans for U.S. troops in the War of 1812.

In 1812 the amount of goods purchased for the army in Troy, NY, by Elbert Anderson, a government contractor. Items are checked by two brothers, Ebenezer and Samuel Wilson. Samuel Wilson was often called "Uncle Sam" by her peers. Each package is marked initials E.A.-U.S. In when asked the meaning of these initials, workers jokingly replied that EA is Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam that the U.S. is supposed to be is the United States. So the title became popular among the workers, soldiers, and people, and the Government of the United States now known as "Uncle Sam"

The story above ended up in writing in a newspaper. In the 1860s and the 1870s, political cartoonist Thomas Nast began popularizing the image of Uncle Sam. Nast developed the image by giving Uncle Sam a white beard and clothes that motivated stars and stripes. Nast is also the one who created the image of Santa Claus and the elephant as a symbol of the Republican Party. In September 1961 the U.S. Congress recognizes Samuel Wilson as the precursor of America's national symbol.

Uncle Sam Wilson is regarded as a role model of an entrepreneur who likes to work hard and love for their homeland. Wilson died at the age of 88 years old in 1854 and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, New York. The city was the title of 'The House of Uncle Sam.' Finally, Uncle Sam's name was officially adopted for the state nickname of America. The Americans are now proud of the nickname and the image that Uncle Sam.

History of Aceh

When the Islamic empire Ocean-Pasai weak after getting hit Majapahit under Gajah Mada it, the Islamic kingdom of Malacca that appears below Paramisora (Paramesywara) which was renamed after the call to Islam with Iskandar Shah.

While the Americans refused to intervene in the affairs of Aceh and the Netherlands.

History of Lighter

The lighter / Marxist / gas lighter was found in 1816. The first lighter-called "Dobereiner's Lamp" (named after its creator, Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner). But his lighter did not use butane or oil as a fuel, hydrogen is used. Another difference is that these lighters used platinum as a catalyst (used to start a chemical change of the fuel for the fire) than flint, or a piezoelectric spark.

smokers generally are widely used to match flint lighters / Marxist / gas lighter is becoming more popular. In 1908, flint lighters smooth enough and small enough to fit in a pocket. flint specifically tailored to match go into mass production today. Obviously, flint is a fraction of the cost of platinum. Using platinum as a catalyst to fade out and flint taking place. It lit firewood that will light a fire that trigger lighter.

Lighter Development / Marxist / gas lighter accelerated during World War I.

In the 1920s, matches are still somewhat of a luxury for smokers. It would be a severe setback for the average blue-collar workers who smoke. But when the 1930's came, a man named George G. Blaisdell saw a lighter awkward Austria has room for improvement and act on it.

He is improving ergonomics mild cases, so it was not awkward to hold. Then he designed a perforated cap to the axis, which continues windproof lighter it! In addition, it modifies the space to be more fuel efficient, and adding a hinged flip-top lid. And voila! Zippo lighters into the world / Marxist / gas lighter.

After the advent of Zippo, other companies began to appear lighter. All competition causes prices to drop dramatically. Lighters became the hot new thing and very collectible. Ronson made their first automatic lighter in the late 1920s, but did not gain popularity until the advent of Zippo. Dunhill become more aggressive in the production of their matches. St Dupont Lighter / Marxist / lighter gas is added to the product line. Also, Colibri lighters start making / Marxist / their first automatic lighter.

Fuel used in most lighters / Marxist / gas lighter in the 1930s is naphtha, oily liquid derived from petroleum. In 1930-40's, a ground-breaking innovation to light up. It's hard to say who conceived of the idea, but Lighters Ronson began producing mass produce used butane as fuel, not naphtha.

A technology that has also become faster after the first World War - piezoelectric. Like the lighter, piezoelectric discovered in the early 1800's, but its full potential was first realized only in 1917, by French scientists. Ronson used piezoelectric effect is used in this machine, to make an igniter for lighters / Marxist / gas lighter that converts energy into electrical spark.

Since the late 1950s, when the piezoelectric spark is introduced, matches have been used by almost all smokers. Now, there is a light producer more than ever. There are also many different types of fire. Apart from the natural fire, now there lighters / Marxist / gas lighter that produces flame torch and multi-jet and even fire.

Today smokers might choose a different kind of fire as a matter of preference or because of what they are smoking (pipe or cigar). Cigar smokers usually use torch lighters and pipe smokers would probably prefer a natural flame lighter.

History of Ties

Tie, according to the Association of American Accessories Neck, has a long history which are hindering development. Since the stone age any accessories on the neck and chest there, especially to characterize the group of men from the higher strata.

In fact, at the time of the ancient Romans had used the fabric to protect the neck and throat, especially by his spokesman. In the development of the Roman army soldiers were wearing. Evidence wore neck cloth accessory looks at a stone statue in the ancient tombs, Xi'an, China.

Other notable neck accessory appeared in the Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), the "ruff". Stiff collar of white cloth that looks like a big plate around his neck. To maintain shape, often starched ruff. Gradually people feel ruff that piles up to a thickness of a few centimeters cause irritation.

Thus was born the "cravat" during the reign of Louis XIV in the 1660s. However, Croatia more accurately described as homeland ties. Even supposedly the word is derived from the name of the country in the local language Croatia Hrvatska.

This is according to the narrative in the book Chaile Francoise La Grande Historie de la Cravate (Flamarion, Paris, 1994). "... Around the year 1635, about six thousand soldiers and knights came to Paris, which was hired by Louis XIII and Richelieu. Costumes they very interesting. Strand handkerchief tied around the neck in a special way. Handkerchief is made of various fabrics, of a similar uniform, smooth cotton, to silk.'s unique style soon 'conquer France'. Moreover, this method is more practical than a rigid collar. handkerchief was only tied, with the ends left loose. "

So disebutlah handkerchief cravat, meaning "people of Croatia".

As accessory neck in the stone age, beauty cravat and show the class how to tie wearer. That said Beau Brummell (1778 - 1840), which influenced the development of fashion, it takes many hours to tie his cravat. Many books published cravat tying techniques. One of them featuring 32 way, despite the fact that there are more than 100 ways officially known at the time. Likewise, there are people who want to express their personality with his own creations.

Next comes the etiquette of wearing a cravat. Someone touched cravat abstinence others. If it happens, it could be fatal, the duel.

Even superstition was growing in around cravat. It is said that when Napoleon Bonaparte wore a black cravat wrapped twice around the neck, he always wins the war. Unfortunately, when the plunge in Waterloo he was wearing a white cravat. The result? He "fell".

In the 1860s with the end of a long cravats began to resemble modern accessory alias neck tie. When emerging fashion collared shirt, tie summarized under the chin, the tip length dangling in front of the shirt. While tie new butterfly-shaped popular in the 1890s.

With the advancement of technology, now tie became more diverse color, design and texture. As a result, more than 100 million raided various outlets tie neckties every year.

History of Smoking

Regarding the origin of tobacco, the Huron Indian myth dengansebuah explain. Syahdan when the earth was still bald, attacked starving inhabitants. The Great Spirit sent a woman to help man. In his right hand touched the soil, there grew potatoes. When the left hand touch, growing corn. Once the corn and potatoes are plentiful, he also sat unwind. Uh, when he rose from the ground where he sat unwind. Uh, when he rose from the ground where he sat poking the tobacco plant!

So they are going to say, how long humans have been tobacco and friendly. Indeed, the year 1 BC Native Americans have smoked, chewed, and the smell of tobacco leaf. Even in the year 1 AD, tobacco can be found in almost every American.

Presumably also, the term tobago - which was originally the name of a type of smoking pipe Indian communities in the Caribbean - slip into tobacco or temabakau in our language. While cigarettes can be berasaldari sik'ar Mayan term meaning smoke. This tribe is known to have smoked in the year 600-1000. It is based on the relics of earthen vessels before the XI century in Uaxactun, Guatemala. On the surface is a picture of Maya Indians smoking rolled tobacco leaves.

Tobacco was "out" of the Americas when 12oktober 1492 Cristobal Colon or Columbus and his crew landed for the first time at the beach P. Watling, Central America. Thought the gods, according to the journal Columbus, "Native Arawak offering fruits, wooden spears and similar dry leaves smelled weird. "Returning to the ship they eat fruits but ... dried leaves were discarded.

However, the inventor who roko? His name Rodrigo deJeres and Luis de Torres. November 1492, in Cuba they report, a native of wrapping dried palm leaf tobacco or corn, turning on one end and suck the smoke. Jerez was imitating. Maybe he pertamabukan Native American smokers. Habit continued home to Spain. Malang, smoke and nose darimulut's neighbors fear until he was imprisoned. Ironically, when he was free seven years later, people have fever cigarettes.

Actually, tobacco seeds - brought to Spain from Santo Domingo in 1559 and to Rome in 1561 - initially introduced as an ornamental plant medicine. He was first brought to Europe from Florida in 1565 by Sir John Hawkins, British Navy hero. However, only 20 years later with pipe smoking culture began to emerge in the UK, which eventually spread throughout the European continent.

Cigarette smoke has actually been around since 1518, such as community property Aztec, Mexico, yangmirip products twentieth century. The difference, chopped tobacco cigarettes Aztec crammed into hollow stems or leaf wrapped, baiasanya corn. In the sixteenth century, the homeless Seville Spain, picking butts butts ceruta wasted, disassemble it, then rolled it again with newsprint. How efficient was apparently imitated the non bummer. Handwork was started after the discovery of rare cigarette rollers machine in the early 1880's.

In dekada I XVII century, all over the world have come to know tobacco. Cultivation is done john Rolfe, husband of Pocahontas, in Jamestown in 1612 to boost the economic value of tobacco. Value of tobacco leaf has skyrocketed up in the seventeenth and early XVII had become a medium of exchange. Imagine, tax debt, even the salaries of civil servants, soldiers, and priests, all of which can be paid with tobacco leaves. However, which survived until now, so the main function was: as raw material for cigarettes.

History of smoking in Indonesia

In terms of materials, cigarettes have several terms. What is meant by cigarettes or cigars are made from tobacco leaves and cigarettes are cigarettes with clove aroma and flavor. So cigarettes are cigarettes made from tobacco leaves and has a mixture of clove aroma and flavor. Java community as the first smokers, cigarettes are also familiar with the term, a term for non-clove cigarettes (Joglosemar, 2003) There is also a term klobot cigarette made from dried corn leaves stuffed with pure tobacco leaf and clove.

Haji Jamhari cigarettes believed to be the creator and popularized it in about 1880. Highly potent homemade clove cigarettes as a drug with a typical blend of cloves and tobacco. Haji Jamhari died in 1890, when some residents began to follow in his footsteps Ghost makes and sells cigarettes, who was still wrapped in dried corn leaves and cigarette called klobot as it stands from the beginning until now (Jawa Pos, Legi Thursday, August 28, 2003, page 16). Is M. Nitisemito are also believed to be the inventor of kretek (Joglo Semar, 2003) M Nitisemito from Ghost, about 50 km south-east of Semarang, Central Java. Around the year 1906, Nitisemito cough and asthma that never healed. Due to despair in the face of his illness, he mixed tobacco blended with cloves that have been ground and wrapped in dried corn leaves were then called klobot cigarettes. Nitisemito was feeling well after smoking klobot and intend to pass these habits widely to the public.

Regardless of who invented cigarettes for the first time, M Nitisemito was the first to trade cigarettes with packaging and brand. Previously, Nitisemito was a gentleman who likes to smoke tobacco klobot as well as merchants. His introduction to the business came from his encounter with cigarette Nasilah, who is a manufacturer and seller of cigarettes klobot. The customers are the workers, vendors, or hawkers and sais gig that exist around the house.

A partnership between Nitisemito and Nasilah who later became husband and wife this is a turning point in the history of industrialization in Indonesia clove cigarettes. Under the banner of his company, NV Bal Three, Nitisemito selling cigarettes with the brand Bal Three motto: "Do not be Loepa Poenja Name Only" (Jawa Pos, Legi Thursday, August 28, 2003, page 16). This is the first in Indonesia, kretek are printed properly and using the brand. But fate was not as smooth development company Nitisemito cigarettes creations. The company had filed for bankruptcy in 1953, due to inability to compete with the growing number of competitors grew rapidly following the cigarette industry (Joglosemar, 2003)

In addition to Bal Three, carrying other brands that appeared almost simultaneously in the Holy. In 1913, tobacco companies stand Goenoeng and Klapa established by M Atmowijoyo. But M Atmowijoyo not change his business into an industry as well as by M Nitisemito. Until now, the company manufactures and Klapa Goenoeng brand still producing cigarettes klobot made by hand and tied with twine (Jawa Pos, Legi Thursday, August 28, 2003, page 16)

History also records a number of companies that follow established Nitisemito cigarette industry. Cigarette companies include Nojorono established in 1932. Nojorono built by Tjoa Kang Hay and two brothers namely Tjiep Spot Tan and Tan Ping Kong company name Trio. Products produced include Astrokoro, 555, and Leg Three. Some time later Tjoa Kang Hay Trio to leave the company, working with entrepreneurs from the Holy Djie Ko Tan Siong and Djing Dhay to establish its Nojorono. Products that are known to date is Minak Djinggo (Jawa Pos, Legi Thursday, August 28, 2003, page 16)

The development of cigarette factories were also more developed in Java. Recorded several major cigarette factory on the island of Java, for example Djambu Bol founded in 1937 by Haji Roesjdi Ma'roef, Breadfruit, Needle in Central Java and Bentoel, Gudang Garam, Sampoerna in East Java and includes some other smaller factories such as Tower, Solo, Retjo Pentoeng in Kediri, or pumps in Semarang (Kompas, 29 September 2000) This suggests that smoking is a rapidly growing business area and promise in the field of economy, good for employers, and for the government of tax revenue.

History of Tricycles

Rickshaw (from Hokkien: be chia "chariot") is a three-wheeled transportation common in Indonesia and also in parts of Asia. Normal capacity is two rickshaw passengers and a driver.

In Indonesia there are two types of tricycles are commonly used

* Rickshaw with the driver in the back. This type is usually in Java.

* Rickshaw with the driver's side. This species is usually found in Sumatra. To rickshaw type can be further divided into two sub-types, namely:

1. Pedal rickshaw - rickshaw who use bicycles as a rudder.

2. Motorized pedicab / rickshaw engine - Pedicab who use motorcycles as a driver.

Pros and cons

Rickshaws are an environmentally friendly transportation tool because it does not cause air pollution (except motor tricycles of course). Additionally, pedicab not cause noise and can also be used as a tourist attraction for foreign tourists.

Even so, the presence of rickshaws in urban areas can disrupt traffic because of the slow speeds compared with cars and motorcycles. In addition, some people think that the rickshaw was not comfortable viewing, perhaps because of the lack of modern.

The only city in Indonesia to officially prohibit the existence of rickshaw is Jakarta. Rickshaws banned in Jakarta around the end of the 1980s. The official reason among others, it is time that the rickshaw was "exploitation of man by man". His successor is, motorcycle, bajaj and Kancil.

Besides Indonesia, rickshaws can still be found in other countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Cuba. In Singapore, rickshaws now just a type of transportation only.

Modernization rickshaw

To improve the ability of rickshaws and encourage the use of non-motorized vehicles in some developed countries rickshaw that uses gear acceleration / transmission as used in modern bicycles so they can more easily pass through the hill, and the driver's aerodynamic design is made to be in front of the passenger.

History of the shrine (Ka'bah)

Shrine, also called Bayt al `Atiq (Arabic: بيت ال عتيق, Old House) is a building restored in the time of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ismail Ismail after the Prophet was in Mecca on the orders of Allah SWT. In the Qur'an, Sura 14:37 implies that there has been a sacred site Ka'ba as the Prophet Ibrahim put Hagar and baby Ishmael in that location.

At the time of the Prophet Muhammad was 30 years old (about 600 AD and has not appointed a messenger at the time), the building was renovated again by flash floods that hit the city of Mecca at the time. There was some dispute between the head of the tribe or tribes when they wanted to put the stone back the Black Stone at one corner of the Ka'ba, but thanks to the settlement of the dispute Muhammad successfully settled without bloodshed and without any party aggrieved.

On the eve of the Prophet Muhammad SAW was made to move to the city of Medina, which was originally the shrine building houses of worship religion of monotheism (Tawheed) the teachings of Prophet Ibrahim had turned into a shrine in which Arab nations put about 360 idols / statues that represent the gods polytheism of the Arabs when the dark thoughts (jahilliyah) but as the teachings of Prophet Ibrahim, who is the ancestor of the Arabs and the Jews and the teachings of Prophet Moses to the Jews, God the Creator can not be dipersekutukan and worshiped together with any object or creature likewise and not have an intermediary to worship and not a single one like it and do not have children and do not begotten (Surah Al-Ikhlas in the Qur'an). Ka'ba eventually cleared of religious statues when Prophet Muhammad freed polytheism of Mecca without bloodshed and restored as a house of worship religion of Tawheed (Islam).

Furthermore, the building is managed and maintained by the Children Sya'ibah as key holders Ka'ba and the administration and servicing pilgrimage organized by the government both governments caliph Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman ibn Affan, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan, Ummayyah Dynasty, Abbasid dynasty, dynasty Ottoman Turkey, until now the kingdom of Saudi Arabia government that acts as a waitress two holy cities, Mecca and Medina.

At first shrine building consists of two doors and the location of the shrine door is located on the ground, not like now that the door is rather high. By the time Muhammad was 30 years old and has not appointed an apostle, do renovations on the shrine due to floods. At the moment there is a shortage costs, the building Ka'ba made only one door. There is also a part that is not put into building the Ka'ba, called Hijir Ismail, the marked half-circle on one side of the Ka'ba. Just then the door is located so high only the Quraysh leaders who can enter, because the Quraysh tribe or tribes that are glorified by the Arabs at that time.

Prophet Muhammad once again thought better to renovate the shrine because his people had just embraced Islam, as represented words written in a hadith: "If my people not just left disbelief, I would lower the door of the Ka'ba and made two Hijir Ismail door and entered into the Ka'ba" , as the foundation built by the Prophet Abraham.

When Abdullah bin Zubair time ruled the Hejaz region, the building was rebuilt according to the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, which is above the foundation of the Prophet Ibrahim. But when a war with Abdul Malik bin Marwan local authorities Sham (Syria, Jordan and Lebanon now) and Palestine, there is a fire in the Ka'ba gunshot bullet catapult (onager) owned Sham forces. Abdul Malik ibn Marwan who later became caliph, to renovate the shrine back in the building by the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW and not based on the foundation of the Prophet Ibrahim. Ka'ba in the subsequent history several times suffered damage as a result of the war and because of the age of the building.

When Caliph Harun reign of Al Rashid in the Abbasid caliphate, the caliph plans to renovate the shrine again according foundation Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Muhammad desired. however be prevented by one of the leading scholars of Imam Malik, because it was feared would be the arena of the sacred building disassembly rulers after him. Thus building the Ka'ba keep fit during renovations Caliph Abdul Malik bin Marwan until now.

Medan History

In ancient times the city of Medan is known as the Land Deli and the terrain more or less swampy area of 4000 Ha. Several rivers cross the city of Medan and it all boils down to the Straits of Malacca. Rivers Deli is Sei, Sei Babura, Sikambing Sei, Sei Denai, White Sei, Sei Badra, Belawan and Sei Sei Sulang Mutual / Sei Apes.

At first, the open field is Professor Patimpus township location in Tanah Deli, since colonial times people always weave Medan Deli (Medan-Deli). After a long run time of independence Medan Deli term gradually disappeared and eventually less popular.

Overall Deli soil types in the area consists of clay, sand, soil mix, black soil, brown soil and red soil. This is a study of Van Hissink in 1900, followed by a study in 1910 that despite Vriens soil like that no longer met the specific types of clay. Clay is in place at the time of Dutch rule named Bakaran Stone (now the East Field or Menteng) people burn high quality brick and one brick factory at the time it was Deli Klei.

According to Volker Medan in 1860 is still a jungle here and there-especially dimuara estuaries interspersed settlements of people from the Karo and the Malayan peninsula. In 1863 the Dutch began to open a tobacco plantation in Deli which was the star Land Deli. Since then, the economy continues to grow so that field into the center of town government and the economy in North Sumatra.

At the beginning of its development is a small village called "Field Princess". The development of Kampung Medan "Princess" is inseparable from its strategic position as it is located at the confluence of rivers and streams Deli Babura, not far from the Princess Green now. Both of these rivers is the ancient trade traffic pretty crowded, thus Kampung Medan "Princess" which was the forerunner of Medan, rapidly developed into an important transit port.

More and more people come to this village and wife Patimpus teacher who founded the village Medan birth of the first child of a male and named the Kolok. Livelihood of people in Kampung Medan which they named with the Ten two Kuta is farming planting pepper. Not long after the second child born Guru Patimpus and even this young man named the Kecik.

In his Master Patimpus minded person is considered advanced. This is proven by having her sit (to study) read the Qur'an to Datuk City Build and then deepen the religion of Islam to Aceh.

The information confirms that the Kampung Medan is a description of H. Muhammad Said quoting through books Deli In Woord en styl written by Cate N.Ten.

The house is located across the river from administrates the village Medan. If we see that the location of the Kampung Medan is in the guesthouse and the fort now houses the office administrates is Tobacco PTP IX Deli is now.

Approximately in 1612 after two decades of standing Kampung Medan, Sultan Iskandar Muda in Aceh ruling sent a commander named Gocah hero Admiral Horse Bintan title to be a leader who represents the kingdom of Aceh Land Deli.

Gocah hero died in 1653 and was succeeded by his son Tuangku Perunggit Commander, who then proclaimed the independence of the Sultanate of Deli Sultanate in 1669, with its capital in Labuan, about 20 km from Medan.

John Anderson, an Englishman made a visit to Kampung Medan in 1823 and noted in his book Mission to the East Coast of Sumatra that residents in Kampung Medan at that time still amounted to 200 people but he only saw the population living dipertemuan between the two rivers. Anderson mentions in his book "Mission to the East Coast of Sumatra" (published by Edinburgh 1826) that along the Deli to the Kampung Medan mosque walls built with granite stones square. These stones were taken from an ancient Hindu temple in Java.

The rapid development of Kampung Medan "Princess", is also not free from tobacco that is very popular with Delinya tobacco, which is tobacco for cigar wrappers. In 1863, Sultan Deli gives Nienhuys Van der Falk and Elliot from the firm Van Keeuwen en Mainz & Co., the land of 4000 shoulder (1 shoulder = 0.74 ha) in erfpacht 20 years in Cape Sepassi, near Labuhan.

Then the expansion of new plantations in areas Martubung, Sunggal (1869), Rice and Klumpang River (1875), the total amount to 22 oil companies in 1874. Considering the tobacco trade is already very broad and growing, Nienhuys move their corporate offices to Labuhan Kampung Medan "Princess". Thus the "Kampung Medan Daughter" becomes increasingly crowded and then developed with a name better known as "the city of Medan".

According to the legend at the time immemorial have lived in the old Deli Sultanate approximately 10 km from the Kampung Medan in Deli Tua now a very beautiful princess and her beauty was named Princess Green. Beauty Princess is celebrated everywhere from Aceh to the northern tip of the island of Java.

At his request, to be submitted to him some rice and a thousand eggs and host Princess petition granted. But it just started suddenly uapacara berhembuslah almighty gale followed waves were very high.

From the sea comes the brother who had been transformed into a serpent and using the jaws of it took his sister locked chest, and brought into the sea.

History of Halloween

Halloween, celebrated each year on October 31, is a mix of ancient Celtic practices, Catholic and Roman religious rituals and European folk traditions that blended together over time to create the holiday we know today. Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and lack and life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. Halloween has long been regarded as the day when the dead can return to earth, and ancient Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off these roaming ghosts. Celtic holiday of Samhain, the Catholic Hallowmas period of All Saints 'Day and All Souls' Day and the Roman festival Feralia all affect the modern holiday of Halloween. In the 19th century, Halloween began to lose the religious connotation, becoming a children's holiday more secular community-based. Although the superstitions and beliefs surrounding Halloween may have evolved over the years, as the days grow shorter and the nights colder, people can still look forward to parades, costumes and sweet treats to usher in the winter.

Ancient Origins of Halloween

the origin of Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain

The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. Today marks the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of winter, dark and cold, the time of year that is often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing disruption and damage to crops, Celts thought that the presence of other-worldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For people who are entirely dependent on the volatile natural, this prophecy is an important source of comfort and direction during the winter, long and dark.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and try to tell the fortune of each. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

By AD 43, Romans had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals Roman origin combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain.

The first is Feralia, one day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the dead past. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. Symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of "bobbing" for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.

With 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints 'Day', a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope sought to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with special, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day) and the night before, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in AD 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls Day ", a day to honor the dead. It is celebrated with Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, ahead of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls', were called Hallowmas.

Halloween Comes to America

As European immigrants came to America, they brought their varied Halloween customs with them. Since the rigid Protestant belief systems that characterized early New England, celebration of Halloween in colonial times was very limited there.

This is much more common in Maryland and the southern colonies. As the beliefs and customs of different European ethnic groups, as well as American Indians, together, obviously the American version of Halloween began to emerge. The first celebration was "play parties," public events held to celebrate the harvest, where neighbors would share stories of the dead, each one predicting, dancing, and singing. Colonial Halloween festivities also featured telling ghost stories and making all kinds of crimes. In the mid-nineteenth century, annual autumn festivities ever, but Halloween not celebrated everywhere in the country.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, America was flooded with new immigrants. The new immigrants, especially the millions of Irish fleeing the potato famine in Ireland in 1846, helped to popularize the celebration of Halloween nationally. Taking from Irish and English traditions, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go house to house asking for food or money, a practice that eventually became today's tradition of "trick-or-treat". Young women believed that, on Halloween, they could divine the name or appearance of their future husband by doing tricks with yarn, apple parings, or mirrors.

In the late 1800s, there was a movement in America to mold Halloween into a holiday more about community and neighborly get-togethers, than about ghosts, pranks, and witchcraft.

At the turn of the century, Halloween parties for children and adults became the most common way to celebrate the day. Parties focused on games, foods of this season, and festive costumes. Parents are encouraged by newspapers and community leaders to take anything "frightening" or "weird" from the Halloween celebration. Because of their efforts, Halloween lost most of superstition and religious tone at the beginning of the twentieth century.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had become a secular holiday, but people-centered, with parades and town-wide parties as entertainment features. Despite the best efforts of many schools and communities, vandalism began to plague Halloween celebrations in many communities during this time. In the 1950s, city leaders that successfully limited vandalism and Halloween had evolved into a holiday directed mainly at the young. Due to the high number of young children during the fifties baby boom, parties moved from urban centers into the classroom or home, where they could be more easily accommodated. Between 1920 and 1950 the practice of centuries of trick-or-treating was also revived. Trick-or-treating was a relatively inexpensive way for an entire community to share the Halloween celebration. In theory, families could also prevent tricks being played on them by providing the neighborhood children with small treats. A new American tradition was born, and continues to grow. Currently, Americans spend about $ 6.9 billion per year for Halloween, so the second largest commercial holiday in the country.

History of April Fool's Day or April Fool's

April 1. Many people, especially members of the older generation, often referred to this special date "April Fool". Mop is a Dutch word meaning a joke. In English it is called April Fool `s Day. What do they know about the April Fool's Day is a big lie often repeated in the media to attract public attention. But do they know the history of April Fool's Day. It was a lie to say, regardless of the severity of the sound according to Azly Eliswan.

Yeyen, a student from the University of East Jakarta Dharma Persada, when he was interviewed on Sunday said it had now knowledge of the history of this crazy "day." What I knew was a mistake made by a variety of media to deceive the public. "

"Perhaps, a serious incident occurred in the past, but in April and how the incident became popular as an April Fool's is a point beyond my knowledge," he said.

Meanwhile, the Feizy who happens to be a student at the State University of Jakarta (UNJ) were contacted by cell phone April Fools states may be associated with the habit of lying to the public media to turn their attention to a particular object in the history of news.

"All I know it's only April Fool's Day, as my parents tell the story of April Fool's Day," he joked.

"When I was in high school, my teacher never explained and finally I made my own interpretation of it has to do with the rotten lies in the media," said Feizy.

Cindy, a student at Trisakti University, said on April Fool's Day is not just to do with the lies in the media. It is also regarded as a friend `s.

"I know April Fool's supposed to be a joke but as a lie can be done by one person against another to make him angry.," He said, adding that therefore we should suspect the strange information that we receive on that date.

Apparently most kids today do not know about April Fools. Every strange news to date has resulted in the massacre of Muslim barbarians in Spain, 1 April 1487.

Unfortunately, Muslims in Indonesia are not many know the history of April Fool's Day (April Fool's) and then choose to celebrate by lying to the public through the media or personal contact.

A Muslim intellectuals, Ir H Asmara Dharma, reached by phone at his home in Medan, April Fool's celebration begins with the attack Western troops in Spain, which was then under the domination of a Muslim caliphate in March, 1487.

He said the city of Zaragoza in Spain and in North America and Leon, Vigo and Valencia Forto East and West, Lisbon and Cordoba in the south and in the center of Madrid and Granada port occupied by the attackers.

The Muslim community who survived the attack were promised would not be harmed if we wanted to leave Spain by boat are available at the port of Grenada. Western forces are committed to letting Muslims released by the ship if they surrender their weapons.

When thousands of unarmed Muslims gathered at the port of Granada to wait their turn to leave Spain as promised by the army, they were brutally slaughtered and ship them to the fire.

Asmara also said that the genocide of Muslims and breaking promises that occurred April 1, 1487, which became known as April Fool's Day. Furthermore, this event is a ritual popularized as "April Fools" (this term became popular in Indonesia during the Dutch colonial period, the mop is a Dutch word meaning joke). It is then used to criminalize people new and action.

After learning the history of April Fool's Day as described by Asmara, Yeyen said that media has on April 1 in the country is a bad thing for the West easily misled public that Western forces had done to Muslims in Granada in the past.

On the other hand, Feizy even says that on 1 April inappropriate to observe a day of mourning for Muslims.

In celebration of the lies of the West "which ended in mass murder Muslim, 1 April 1487, we hope that young Muslims are not so easily duped by the West in many aspects of life, including politics, he said.

"Today, we are asking for more political and economic aid from the West to solve our problems, the more we're stuck in a hole in the chaos," he said, adding: "The more help we have received from the West, the more we will be in their offices For surprice us. problem never solved. "

"That's because no country wants to be on par with the western countries, especially the developing countries dominated. Westerners do not ever want to see Muslims living well," said Feizy.

# Press to be part of the fashion world after expanding from breeches worn tight clothing from the waist to the knee with stockings covering the rest of the foot; pants first gained popularity in 1760.

* Pants into men's standard lower-body in the16th century.

* Nomadic Eurasian horsemen as Iranian Scythians, along with Achaemenid Persia, considered one of the early adapters pants.

* In ancient China called Chinos pants and worn only by soldiers.

* Sailors thought to have played a central role in the dissemination of trousers as a fashion trend all over the world. In the 16-18 centuries, sailors wore baggy trousers known as wide pants fit. Sailors also the first to wear jeans.

* In the 1860's knee pants worn when hunting and golf.

* Lady Bloomers Pants, pants for women consisting of short skirts and slacks, first appeared in New York in 1850. They are worn mostly by women's liberation army and bicycle women.

History of Condoms

From historical records condoms have been used since a few hundred years ago.

Around 1000 BC the ancient Egyptians used a linen sheath to prevent the disease confectionary.

In the year 100 to the year 200 AD the earliest evidence of condom use diEropa came from cave paintings such as landscape Combrelles, France.

The 1500's for the first published description and trials of equipment

prevent disease in the form of condoms in Italy. When was Gabrielle Fallopius

claim to find gloves made of linen and were tested on

1100 men as a condom. From this experiment it was not one of them

infected with syphilis. The discovery proves that linen

useful to prevent infection. However, later known as the condom

tools to prevent pregnancy. It starts from experiments on linen

moistened with a liquid chemical in the 1500's. When linen soaked in

chemical liquid is then dried and subjected him the cloth could

kill sperm.

In the 1700s, condoms made from animal intestines. Material changes were made

condom prices become more expensive compared to condoms made from linen.

When that condoms are known as' armor against pleasure and nets

spiders prevent infection. ' Condoms were used repeatedly type.

In 1894, Goodyear and Hancock began to mass-produce condoms

made of rust rough rubber vulcanised to reverse the

strong elasticity. In 1861 for the first time published condoms

in the U.S. newspaper The New York Times. Condoms in 1880

made of latex, but its usage is widely novel of the 1930s.

In 1935 over 1.5 million condoms produced each day in the U.S.

States.

Then in the 1980s and 1990s the condom market in the United States

dominated the local condom factory. New year 1987 Japanese production of condoms

with the Kimono brand into the U.S. market. Condoms are thin and soft

ad was menekankankan that pleasure is as important as

prevention.

In the 1990s, emerged a variety of condoms and also for the first time

polyurethane condoms available. In 1993 the annual production of latex condoms

8.5 million billion.

History of Electricity

The early history of electricity was discovered by a Greek scholar named Thales, which mengemungkakan phenomenon that amber when rubbed - rub the fur would be interesting as a phenomenon of electricity. Then after many - years after Thales ideas put forward, and then appeared again penapat - opinions and new theories regarding electricity as researched and presented by William Gilbert, Joseph priestley, Charles de Coulomb, AmpereMichael Farraday, Oersted, etc..

information about the history of the inventor of electricity is presented in bentu panel and supported by the audio device that presents visual clone of experiments - experiments that have been done by scientists.

Ben Franklin

Many people think Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity famous kite experiment in 1752, but

electricity was not discovered all at once. At first, the electricity associated with light.

People want a cheap and safe way to light their homes, and scientists thought possible electrical path.

Battery

Learning how to produce and use electricity is not easy. For a long time there

no reliable source of electricity for the experiment. Finally, in 1800, Alessandro Volta, an Italian scientist, makes a major discovery. he's soaked paper in salt water, zinc and copper are placed on opposite sides of the paper, and observe the chemical reaction produces an electric current. Volta had created the first electric cell. By connecting many of these cells together, Volta was able to "current string" and make batteries. It is in honor of Volta that we measured in volt battery. Finally, sources of safe and reliable electricity is available, making it easier for scientists to study electricity.

An English scientist, Michael Faraday, was the first to realize that

electric current can be generated by passing a magnet through

copper wire. It was an amazing discovery. Almost all electricity

we use today are made with magnets and coils of copper wire in a giant

power plants.

Both the electric generator and the electric motor is based on this

principle. A generator converts the energy of motion into electricity. A

Motors convert electrical energy into motion energy.

Thomas Edison

n 1879, Thomas Edison

focused on creating a

Light the lamp, which

will last a long time before

burning. The problem is

find strong material for

filament, a small wire

inside the bulb that does

electricity. Eventually, Edison used

ordinary cotton thread

been soaked in carbon.

These filaments do not burn at

all it is bulb;

that is, it shines.

The next challenge is to develop systems that can power

provide people with a practical source of energy to power these new

lights. Edison wanted a way to make practical electric and

cheap. He designed and built the first power plant

capable of generating electricity and took it to people's homes.

Edison's Pearl Street Power Station began a generator which in

September 4, 1882, in New York City. About 85 customers under

Manhattan received enough power to light 5,000. Her

electricity customers pay a lot for them, though. In today's dollars,

electricity costs $ 5.00 per kilowatt-hour! Currently, the cost of electricity

about 12 cents per kilowatt-hour for residential customers, and

about 7 cents per kilowatt-hour for the industry.

AC / DC

The turning point of the electric age came a few years later with

development of AC (alternating current) power systems. with

alternating current, the power plant can carry a lot of electricity

further than before. In 1895, George Westinghouse opened the first

The main power plant at Niagara Falls using alternating current. while

Edison's DC (direct current) power plants can only carry

within one square mile of his Pearl Street Power Station, Niagara

Plants falling capable of transporting electricity over 200 miles!

Electricity does not have an easy start. Many people

pleased with all the new discoveries, but some people fear

electricity and alert brought to their home. many social

critics today see power as an end to a simple, less hectic

life. Poets commented that electric lights are less romantic than

gas lamps. Maybe they are right, but the new electric age can

not dim.

In 1920, only two percent of the energy in the U.S. is used to make

electricity. Today, about 41 percent of the energy used to make

electricity. As we use technology grow, that number will continue to

increased.
