There are only 12 countries in the world crossed by the equator. But , there is only one city that exactly separates the northern and southern hemispheres, namely Pontianak. Pontianak, a developing port city on the Indonesian side of the island of Borneo, is the largest city on the Earth’s longest invisible line, the Equator.
Also known as “Equator City,” Pontianak is the capital city in the province of West Kalimantan. Standing a mere two miles north from the city center is a monument constructed to represent the otherwise conceptual Equator. The spot was first marked simply with an arrow on a pole in 1928 by a Dutch geographer when he visited Borneo.
The Equator Monument is located on Jalan Khatulistiwa, Pontianak, West Kalimantan. This is the zero-degree latitude of the earth of which exact line divides the southern and northern parts of the earth. The original monument is smaller in size, but there is a large building inside the complex of the Equator Monument.
All the history began in 1928 when a group of international expeditions from the Netherlands arrived in Pontianak. Their goal was to establish an equatorial point in Pontianak.

In the same year, the Equatorial Monument was built in the form of a milestone and an arrow on it. In 1930, the monument was perfected by adding a circle at the top of the monument. Eight years later, the monument was refined by using iron wood . Its height is 4.4 meters.

In 1990, a dome and duplicate of the monument was made 5 times larger than the original. Both these monuments, both the original and the monument, have a writing plate under the arrow showing the location of the Equatorial Monument on the east longitude.
At last the equatorial Monument had been accomplished and was inaugurated by the Governor of West Kalimantan , namely Parjoko Suryokusumo on the 21st of September 1991. Now, the complex of Equatorial monument is protected by Article 26 of Law No. 5 of 1992 dealing with the Heritage Objects.

Every March from the 21st to the 23rd and September from the 21st to the 23rd -23, the Equatorial monument becomes the site of the Sun Culmination Day. The culmination point is the point where the sun is right above the equator. When this natural phenomenon takes place, the shadow of the monument will 'disappear' for a few seconds although it is in the sun.

this also happens on the shadow of other objects around the Equator Monument. This becomes an exciting spectacle and exciting tours for the people of Pontianak and other tourists. Not a few of the visitors who saw their own shadow disappeared during this culmination day.

In addition, the tourists can also 'cross' the equator and then get a certificate. the name, the date and the time of crossing the equator monument are recorded in the certificate. This certificate serves as 'the plague for anyone who crosses the equator

No doubt, the Equator monument becomes a mandatory destination for the tourists which is located in the capital city of West Kalimantan. Do not forget to stop by this equator monument and enter this monument free of charge .

HAPPY ISLAMIC NEW YEAR

SEMANGAT HIJRAH DI TAHUN BARU HIJRIYAH 1 MUHARAM 1439 H

Tidak ada "orang baik" yang tidak punya masa lalu,
Dan tidak ada "orang jahat" yang tidak punya masa depan.

Setiap orang memiliki kesempatan yang sama untuk berubah menjadi lebih baik.

Bagaimanapun masa lalunya dahulu, sekelam apa lingkungannya dulu, dan seburuk apa perangainya di masa lampau.

Berilah kesempatan seseorang untuk berubah.

Karena, seseorang yang "hampir membunuh Rasul" pun kini berbaring di sebelah makam beliau. : Umar bin Khattab.

Jangan melihat seseorang dari masa lalunya. Seseorang yang pernah berperang melawan agama Allah pun akhirnya menjadi pedang-nya Allah : Khalid bin Walid

Jangan memandang seseorang dari status dan hartanya, karena sepatu emas fir'aun berada di neraka, sedangkan terompah Bilal bin rabah terdengar di syurga.

Intinya,

Jangan memandang remeh seseorang karena masa lalu dan lingkungannya, karena bunga teratai tetap mekar cantik meski tinggal di air yang kotor.

Maka untuk jadi hebat yang diperlukan adalah kuatnya tekad.

Tak perlu pusingkan masa lalu, tak perlu malu dengan tempat asalmu, jika kau mau.

Kau bisa menjadi laksana bunga teratai yang tinggal di air yang kotor namun tetap mekar mengagumkan.

Berubah dan bangkit jauh lebih indah dari pada diam dan hanya bermimpi tanpa melakukan tindakan apapun.

INGATLAH!!!

Jika semua yang kita kehendaki terus kita miliki, dari mana kita belajar ikhlas...

Jika semua yang kita impikan segera terwujud, darimana kita belajar Sabar...

Jika setiap do’a kita terus dikabulkan, bagaimana kita dapat belajar Ikhtiar...

Seorang yang dekat dengan Allah, bukan berarti tidak ada air mata..

Seorang yang tekun berdo’a, bukan berarti tidak ada masa² sulit..

Biarlah Sang Penyelenggara Hidup yang berdaulat sepenuhnya atas kita, karena hanya Dia-lah yang tahu waktu dan kondisi yang tepat untuk memberikan yang Terbaik..

Tetap SEMANGAT…
Tetap SABAR…
Tetap IKHLAS…
Tetap SYUKUR...
Tetap Bedo"a...
Karena kamu sedang kuliah di universitas kehidupan...

Orang yang Hebat tidak dihasilkan melalui Kemudahan, Kesenangan, dan Kenyamanan...

Mereka dibentuk melalui KESUKARAN, TANTANGAN dan bahkan AIR MATA..

GANTUNGKAN SEPENUHNYA HIDUP KITA HANYA ALLAH SWT

Selamat pagi selamat ber Aktifitas semoga hari ini lebih baik dari hari kemarin..

Pontianak City

The pontianak (Dutch-Indonesian spelling: boentianakJawi: ڤونتيانق) is a female vampiric ghost in Malaysian and Indonesian mythology. It is also known as a matianak or kuntilanak, sometimes shortened to kunti. Pontianak is called Churel, or Churayl, in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. The pontianak are said to be the spirits of women who died while pregnant. This is despite the fact that the earliest recordings of pontianaks in Malay lore describe the ghost as originating from a stillborn child.[1][2][3] This is often confused with a related creature, the lang suir, which is the ghost of a woman who died while giving birth. The word pontianak is reportedly a corruption of the Malaysian perempuan mati beranak, or “woman who died in childbirth”.[4] Another theory is that the word is a combination of puan (woman) + mati (die) + anak(child). The term matianak means "death of a child". The city of Pontianak in Indonesia is named after this wicked creature, which was claimed to have haunted the first sultan who once settled there.

Pontianaks are usually depicted as pale-skinned women with long black hair, red eyes, and white dress smeared in blood, but they are said to be able to take on a beautiful humanly appearance since they prey on men and helpless people. They can also be beasts due to their bloodthirsty and carnivorous nature.

In folklore, a pontianak usually arises at full moon and announces her presence through high-pitched baby cries. If the cry is soft, it means that the pontianak is near, and if it is loud, then she must be far. Some believe that if ones hears a dog howling at night, that means the pontianak is far, but if a dog is whining, that means the pontianak is nearby. Her presence can sometimes be detected by a nice floral fragrance identifiable as that of the plumeria, followed by an awful stench (resembling that of a decaying body) afterwards. The Indian version, the Churail, can be identified by her feet turning backwards just before her transformation into her vampiric form.

A pontianak kills her victims by digging into their stomach with her sharp fingernails and devouring their body organs. In some cases where the pontianak desires revenge against a male individual, the beast rips out the body organs with her hands. It is said that if one has his or eyes open when a pontianak is near, she will suck them out of the victim's head. Pontianak locates her preys/victims by sniffing out the hanging laundry outside. For this reason, some Malaysians refuse to leave any piece of clothing outside of their house overnight.

The pontianak is associated with banana trees, and her spirit is said to reside in them during the day.

To fend off a pontianak, a nail should be plunged into the hole on the nape of her neck. This is said to make her turn into a beautiful woman and a good wife until the nail is removed. In the case of the kuntilanak, the nail is plunged into the apex of her head.

The Indonesian kuntilanak is similar to the pontianak, but commonly takes the form of a bird and sucks the blood of virgins and young women. The bird, which makes a "ke-ke-ke" sound as it flies, may be sent through some black magic to make a woman fell sick, the characteristic symptom is vaginal bleeding. In her female form, when a man approaches her, she suddenly turns and reveals that her back is hollow, but this apparition is more specifically referred to sundel bolong.
