Frans Soemarto Mendoer, Capture the Moment Proclamation 45

Photography is not just a witness to history, but also the historical evidence of human life and the events that surrounded him. In the presence of photographs, many people can be reminded and made aware of a matter. Frans Soemarto Mendoer very understanding it. That's why, after receiving word from a source at Japan Asia Raya newspaper that there will be an important event in the residence of Sukarno, Frans moving directly toward the house numbered 56 on the Road East Pegangsaan was carrying his Leica camera. And indeed, that morning, Friday, August 17, 1945, an important event took place there: reading the text of the proclamation of independence of Indonesia by Sukarno.







At that time Frank has only the remaining three pieces of the film plate. So from that historic event, he only can capture the three scenes. The first, the scene Sukarno read the text of the proclamation. Secondly, the flag-raising scene by Hendraningrat Latif, a member of PETA. And third, hectic atmosphere of the youth who witnessed the flag raising. Upon completion of the journalist's job, Frank hurried to leave the residence because the Sukarno realized that the Japanese army was hunting him.



Frank became the only person to capture the moment was sacred because Alexius Impurung Mendoer Alex, his brother who had also photographed the historic procession, had to give up his camera seized by the Japanese army.



And when the Japanese army met Frank to ask for photographic negatives Sukarno, who was reading the text of the proclamation, Frank admitted that negative film has been taken by the Barisan Pioneers. Whereas photographic negative events that is very important that he kept hidden in a way to bury in the ground, near a tree in the backyard of Asia Raya newspaper office. If only the film's negative was deprived of the Japanese army, then maybe the present generation and generations to come will not know what the sacred event.



In fact, the presence of Sukarno Frans at home at that time, a senior journalist Alwi Shahab wrote "If there is no Frans Mendoer, then we will not have a photo documentation of the events was the proclamation of independence ..." The article was published in the Republika daily edition of Sunday, August 14 2005, three days before the Anniversary of the Proclamation of Independence of the Republic of Indonesia to 60.



Washing three historic photo was also not easy because it prevented the Japanese. Frans with Alex was forced to secretly have to settle, climbing trees at night, and jumped over the fence next to the office Domei (now the AFP news agency) to get to a photo lab to print the photos. In fact, when two brothers were captured by Japanese soldiers, they will be imprisoned, even executed.



Photo of Indonesia's reading of the Declaration of Independence was first published in the Daily Independent on 20 February 1946, more than half a year after its manufacture. Film negative visual record of it now could not be found anymore. There are allegations that the film negatives were destroyed along with all documentation owned news agency Antara that burned in the incident in 1965. Back then, the army took the entire collection of negatives and prints photo-owned Antara and burned.

20 Manfaat Puasa Ramadhan

1. Saat berpuasa ternyata terjadi peningkatan HDL and apoprotein alfa1, dan penurunan LDL ternyata sangat bermanfaat bagi kesehatan jantung dan pembuluh darah. Beberapa the penelitian “chronobiological” menunjukkan saat puasa ramadan berpengaruh terhadap ritme penurunan distribusi sirkadian dari suhu tubuh, hormon kortisol, melatonin dan glisemia. Berbagai perubahan yang meskipun ringan tersebut tampaknya juga berperanan bagi peningkatan kesehatan manusia.



2. Keadaan psikologis yang tenang, teduh dan tidak dipenuhi rasa amarah saat puasa ternyata dapat menurunkan adrenalin. Saat marah terjadi peningkatan jumlah adrenalin sebesar 20-30 kali lipat. Adrenalin akan memperkecil kontraksi otot empedu, menyempitkan pembuluh darah perifer, meluaskan pebuluh darah koroner, meningkatkan tekanan darah rterial dan menambah volume darah ke jantung dan jumlah detak jantung. Adrenalin juga menambah pembentukan kolesterol dari lemak protein berkepadatan rendah. Berbagai hal tersebut ternyata dapat meningkatkan resiko penyakit pembuluh darah, jantung dan otak seperti jantung koroner, stroke dan lainnya.





3. Jumlah sel yang mati dalam tubuh mencapai 125 juta perdetik, namun yang lahir dan meremaja lebih banyak lagi. Saat puasa terjdi perubahan dan konversi yang massif dalam asam amino yang terakumulasi dari makanan. Sebelum didistribusikan dalam tubuh terjadi format ulang. Sehingga memberikan kesempatan tunas baru sel untuk memperbaiki dan merestorasi fungsi dan kinerjanya.

Kendati keseluruhan sel darah putih tidak berubah ternyata sel T mengalani kenaikkan pesat. Perubahan aksidental lipoprotein yang berkepadatan rendah (LDL), tanpa diikuti penambahan HDL. LDL merupakan model lipoprotein yang meberika pengaruh stumulatif bagi respon imunitas tubuh.

Wanita itu telah berobat kesana-kemari termasuk ke para ahli saraf dengan hasil kurang memuaskan. Ia memintanya untuk berpuasa. Wanita itu mengalami perbaikan kondisi mental, dan bahkan dinyatakan sembuh setelah berpuasa selama lima minggu. Di dalam otak kita, ada sel yang disebut dengan “neuroglial cells”. Fungsinya adalah sebagai pembersih dan penyehat otak. Saat berpuasa, sel-sel neuron yang mati atau sakit, akan “dimakan” oleh sel-sel neuroglial ini.



19. Sebuah tulisan penelitian yang dilakukan Dr. Ratey, seorang psikiaters dari Harvard, mengungkapkan bahwa pengaturan dan pembatasan asupan kalori akan meningkatkan kinerja otak. Dr. Ratey melakukan penelitian terhadap mereka yang berpuasa dan memantau otak mereka dengan alat yang disebut “functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging” (fMRI). Hasil pemantauan itu menyimpulkan bahwa setiap individu obyek menunjukkan aktivitas “motor cortex” yang meningkat secara konsisten dan signifikan.



20. Ilmuwan di bidang neurologi yang bernama Mark Mattson, Ph.D., seorang kepala laboratorium neuroscience di NIH’s National Institute on Aging. Dalam hasil penelitiannya menunjukkan bahwa diet yang tepat seperti berpuasa, secara signifikan bisa melindungi otak dari penyakit de-generatif seperti Alzheimer atau Parkinson. Hasil penelitiannya menunjukkan, bahwa diet dengan membatasi masukan kalori 30% sampai 50% dari tingkat normal, berdampak pada menurunnya denyut jantung dan tekanan darah, dan sekaligus peremajaan sel-sel otak.

5 The story of Legend of the lot set aside Scariest Thing Mystical

This is a lot leganda oldest mysteries aside a supremely mystical, without much berargument immediately wrote consider themselves ....



5. The Octavius

Although now considered more legend than anything, the story of Octavius ​​remains one of the most famous of all ghost ship stories. The story dates back to 1775, when it is said that a whaling ship called the Herald stumbled across Octavius ​​floating aimlessly off the coast of Greenland. Crewmembers of the Herald rose Octavius, where they found the bodies of the crew and passengers of all frozen by the arctic cold.





Most notably, the crew discovered the ship's captain was still sitting at his desk, the middle of completing a log entry from 1762, which means that Octavius ​​had been floating for 13 years. According to legend, he eventually discovered that the captain had risked to make a quick return to England from the East through the Northwest Passage, but that ship has become trapped in the ice. If true, this would mean Octavius ​​has completed part of the Atlantic as a ghost ship, its crew and captain of the long dead from exposure to the elements.



4. The Joyita

The Joyita was a fisherman and charter boat was found abandoned in the South Pacific in 1955. Ship, along with 25 passengers and crew, was on his way to the Tokelau Islands when something happens, and it was not until hours later that the Joyita reported late and rescue efforts launched. A massive air search conducted, but failed to find the missing ship, and not until five weeks later that the merchant ship stumble upon Joyita drifting about 600 miles from its original course.



No signs of the passengers, crew, cargo, or a life raft, and the ship was pretty badly damaged and listing to one side. Further examination by the authorities discovered that the ship radio tuned to a universal danger sign, and a search of the deck to find a doctor bag and some bloody bandages. None of the crew or passengers are never seen again, and the mystery of what happened has never been revealed. The most popular theory is that the pirates kill the passengers and threw their bodies into the sea, but other claims, including everything from the insurgency and kidnapping insurance fraud.



3. The Lady Lovibond

Britain has a long tradition of legends about the ghost ship, and the Lady Lovibond is probably the most famous. As the story goes, the Lady Lovibond captain, Simon Peel, recently married, and decided to bring the ship on a cruise to celebrate. He brought his new bride, will take place along the long voyage to the belief that bringing a woman on board a boat is bad luck-and sail on February 13, 1748. Unfortunately for Peel, the first mate is also in love with his new wife, and after watching the celebrations, people become angry and overwhelmed with jealousy and deliberately steer the boat to turn off Goodwind Sands, a sand bar known for causing shipwrecks.





Lady Lovibond sank, killing all passengers. As the legend goes, since the accident Lady Lovibond can be seen sailing in the waters around the Kent every 50 years. This was shown in 1798 by several different boat captain, as well as in 1848 and 1898, when it should seem so real that some of the ships, thinking it was a ship in distress, actually sent the raft to help it. Lady Lovibond again seen in 1948, and while there are no confirmed sightings in the last year in 1998, continues to be one of the most famous ghost ship legend in Europe.



2.The Mary Celeste

Undoubtedly the most famous of all real-life ghost ship Mary Celeste is a merchant ship found homeless and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872. The ship was in seaworthy condition, with all the screens are still awake and full of food stores in the cargo hold, but his boat, the captain's log book and, more importantly, the entire crew, disappeared mysteriously. No signs of struggle, and personal belongings of crew and cargo of more than 1500 barrels of alcohol was touched, apparently ruling out the possibility of piracy as an explanation. In the years since the bizarre discovery, a number of theories have been proposed about the possible fate of the crew of the Mary Celeste.



These include that their passengers were killed by tornado, that the crew rebelled, or even eating flour contaminated with fungi carry all passengers to hallucinate and become crazy. The most likely theory remains that the storm or some kind of technical problems led prematurely leaving the crew to the ship in lifeboats, and that they later died at sea. However, the mystery surrounding the Mary Celeste has created a lot of wild speculation, and others have proposed everything from sea monsters and ghosts to the kidnapping of foreigners may be the explanation.



1. The Flying Dutchman

Maritime folklore, there is no ghost ship that is more famous than the Flying Dutchman, which has inspired many paintings, horror stories, movies, and even an opera. The ship was first mentioned in the late 1700s in the book George Barrington's Voyage sailors to Botany Bay, and since then his legend continues to grow, thanks to a variety of apparitions by the fishermen and sailors. As a story, the Flying Dutchman is a ship out of Amsterdam dikapteni by a man called Van der Decken. The ship was making its way toward the East Indies in the face of dangerous weather near the Cape of Good Hope.





Determined to intersection, Van der Decken was supposed to be crazy, kill the first mate, and vowed that he would cross the Cape, "even if God will let me sail to Judgement Day!" Despite best efforts, the ship sank in a storm, and as the legend goes, Van der Decken and now a ghost ship doomed to sail the seas forever. To this day, the Flying Dutchman continues to be one of the most-sighted of all ghost ships, and people from the sea fishermen in the Prince of Wales have all claimed to have seen it make a never ending journey across the sea.

Dalam tubuhnya mengalir darah Indonesia, Arab –walau pernah diurus ibu asuh berkebangsaan Inggris. Istri beliau seorang perempuan Belanda yang kemudian melahirkan dua anak –keduanya sekarang di Negeri Belanda.



Syarif Abdul Hamid Alkadrie menempuh pendidikan ELS di Sukabumi, Pontianak, Yogyakarta, dan Bandung. HBS di Bandung satu tahun, THS Bandung tidak tamat, kemudian KMA di Breda, Negeri Belanda hingga tamat dan meraih pangkat letnan pada kesatuan tentara Hindia Belanda.



Ketika Jepang mengalahkan Belanda dan sekutunya, pada 10 Maret 1942, ia tertawan dan dibebaskan ketika Jepang menyerah kepada Sekutu dan mendapat kenaikan pangkat menjadi kolonel. Ketika ayahnya mangkat akibat agresi Jepang, pada 29 Oktober 1945 dia diangkat menjadi Sultan Pontianak menggantikan ayahnya dengan gelar Sultan Hamid II. Dalam perjuangan federalisme, Sultan Hamid II memperoleh jabatan penting sebagai wakil Daerah Istimewa Kalimantan Barat (DIKB) berdasarkan konstitusi RIS 1949 dan selalu turut dalam perundingan-perundingan Malino, Denpasar, BFO, BFC, IJC dan KMB di Indonesia dan Belanda. Sultan Hamid II kemudian memperoleh jabatan Ajudant in Buitenfgewone Dienst bij HN Koningin der Nederlanden, yakni sebuah pangkat tertinggi sebagai asisten ratu Kerajaan Belanda dan orang Indonesia pertama yang memperoleh pangkat tertinggi dalam kemiliteran. Pada 21-22 Desember 1949, beberapa hari setelah diangkat menjadi Menteri Negara Zonder Porto Folio, Westerling yang telah melakukan makar di Tanah Air menawarkan “over commando” kepadanya, namun dia menolak tegas. Karena tahu Westerling adalah gembong APRA. Selanjutnya dia berangkat ke Negeri Belanda, dan pada 2 Januari 1950, sepulangnya dari Negeri Kincir itu dia merasa kecewa atas pengiriman pasukan TNI ke Kalbar – karena tidak mengikutsertakan anak buahnya dari KNIL. Pada saat yang hampir bersamaan, terjadi peristiwa yang menggegerkan; Westerling menyerbu Bandung pada 23 Januari 1950. Sultan Hamid II tidak setuju dengan tindakan anak buahnya itu, Westerling sempat di marah. Sewaktu Republik Indonesia Serikat dibentuk, dia diangkat menjadi Menteri Negara Zonder Porto Folio dan selama jabatan menteri negara itu ditugaskan Presiden Soekarno merencanakan, merancang dan merumuskan gambar lambang negara. Dari transkrip rekaman dialog Sultan Hamid II dengan Masagung (1974) sewaktu penyerahan file dokumen proses perancangan lambang negara, disebutkan “ide perisai Pancasila” muncul saat Sultan Hamid II sedang merancang lambang negara.

Dia teringat ucapan Presiden Soekarno, bahwa hendaknya lambang negara mencerminkan pandangan hidup bangsa, dasar negara Indonesia, di mana sila-sila dari dasar negara, yaitu Pancasila divisualisasikan dalam lambang negara. Tanggal 10 Januari 1950 dibentuk Panitia Teknis dengan nama Panitia Lencana Negara di bawah koordinator Menteri Negara Zonder Porto Folio Sultan Hamid II dengan susunan panitia teknis M Yamin sebagai ketua, Ki Hajar Dewantoro, M A Pellaupessy, Moh Natsir, dan RM Ng Purbatjaraka sebagai anggota. Panitia ini bertugas menyeleksi usulan rancangan lambang negara untuk dipilih dan diajukan kepada pemerintah. Merujuk keterangan Bung Hatta dalam buku “Bung Hatta Menjawab” untuk melaksanakan Keputusan Sidang Kabinet tersebut Menteri Priyono melaksanakan sayembara. Terpilih dua rancangan lambang negara terbaik, yaitu karya Sultan Hamid II dan karya M Yamin. Pada proses selanjutnya yang diterima pemerintah dan DPR RIS adalah rancangan Sultan Hamid II. Karya M Yamin ditolak karena menyertakan sinar-sinar matahari dan menampakkan pengaruh Jepang. Setelah rancangan terpilih, dialog intensif antara perancang (Sultan Hamid II), Presiden RIS Soekarno dan Perdana Menteri Mohammad Hatta, terus dilakukan untuk keperluan penyempurnaan rancangan itu. Terjadi kesepakatan mereka bertiga, mengganti pita yang dicengkeram Garuda, yang semula adalah pita merah putih menjadi pita putih dengan menambahkan semboyan “Bhineka Tunggal Ika”. Tanggal 8 Februari 1950, rancangan final lambang negara yang dibuat Menteri Negara RIS, Sultan Hamid II diajukan kepada Presiden Soekarno. Rancangan final lambang negara tersebut mendapat masukan dari Partai Masyumi untuk dipertimbangkan, karena adanya keberatan terhadap gambar burung garuda dengan tangan dan bahu manusia yang memegang perisai dan dianggap bersifat mitologis.



Sultan Hamid II kembali mengajukan rancangan gambar lambang negara yang telah disempurnakan berdasarkan aspirasi yang berkembang, sehingga tercipta bentuk Rajawali-Garuda Pancasila. Disingkat Garuda Pancasila. Presiden Soekarno kemudian menyerahkan rancangan tersebut kepada Kabinet RIS melalui Moh Hatta sebagai perdana menteri. AG Pringgodigdo dalam bukunya “Sekitar Pancasila” terbitan Dep Hankam, Pusat Sejarah ABRI menyebutkan, rancangan lambang negara karya Sultan Hamid II akhirnya diresmikan pemakaiannya dalam Sidang Kabinet RIS. Ketika itu gambar bentuk kepala Rajawali Garuda Pancasila masih “gundul” dan “tidak berjambul” seperti bentuk sekarang ini. Inilah karya kebangsaan anak-anak negeri yang diramu dari berbagai aspirasi dan kemudian dirancang oleh seorang anak bangsa, Sultan Hamid II Menteri Negara RIS.



Presiden Soekarno kemudian memperkenalkan untuk pertama kalinya lambang negara itu kepada khalayak umum di Hotel Des Indes Jakarta pada 15 Februari 1950. Penyempurnaan kembali lambang negara itu terus diupayakan. Kepala burung Rajawali Garuda Pancasila yang “gundul” menjadi “berjambul” dilakukan. Bentuk cakar kaki yang mencengkram pita dari semula menghadap ke belakang menjadi menghadap ke depan juga diperbaiki, atas masukan Presiden Soekarno. Tanggal 20 Maret 1950, bentuk final gambar lambang negara yang telah diperbaiki mendapat disposisi Presiden Soekarno, yang kemudian memerintahkan pelukis istana, Dullah, untuk melukis kembali rancangan tersebut sesuai bentuk final rancangan Menteri Negara RIS Sultan Hamid II yang dipergunakan secara resmi sampai saat ini.



Untuk terakhir kalinya, Sultan Hamid II menyelesaikan penyempurnaan bentuk final gambar lambang negara, yaitu dengan menambah skala ukuran dan tata warna gambar lambang negara di mana lukisan otentiknya diserahkan kepada H Masagung, Yayasan Idayu Jakarta pada 18 Juli 1974 Rancangan terakhir inilah yang menjadi lampiran resmi PP No 66 Tahun 1951 berdasarkan pasal 2 Jo Pasal 6 PP No 66 Tahun 1951. Sedangkan Lambang Negara yang ada disposisi Presiden Soekarno dan foto gambar lambang negara yang diserahkan ke Presiden Soekarno pada awal Februari 1950 masih tetap disimpan oleh Kraton Kadriyah Pontianak. Sultan Hamid II wafat pada 30 Maret 1978 di Jakarta dan dimakamkan di pemakaman Keluarga Kesultanan Pontianak di Batulayang.

Turiman SH M.Hum, Dosen Fakultas Hukum Universitas Tanjungpura Pontianak yang mengangkat sejarah hukum lambang negara RI sebagai tesis demi meraih gelar Magister Hukum di Universitas Indonesia, menjelaskan bahwa hasil penelitiannya tersebut bisa membuktikan bahwa Sultan Hamid II adalah perancang lambang negara. “Satu tahun yang melelahkan untuk mengumpulkan semua data. Dari tahun 1998-1999,” akunya. Yayasan Idayu Jakarta, Yayasan Masagung Jakarta, Badan Arsip Nasional, Pusat Sejarah ABRI dan tidak ketinggalan Keluarga Istana Kadariah Pontianak, merupakan tempat-tempat yang paling sering disinggahinya untuk mengumpulkan bahan penulisan tesis yang diberi judul Sejarah Hukum Lambang Negara RI (Suatu Analisis Yuridis Normatif Tentang Pengaturan Lambang Negara dalam Peraturan Perundang-undangan). Di hadapan dewan penguji, Prof Dr M Dimyati Hartono SH dan Prof Dr H Azhary SH dia berhasil mempertahankan tesisnya itu pada hari Rabu 11 Agustus 1999. “Secara hukum, saya bisa membuktikan. Mulai dari sketsa awal hingga sketsa akhir. Garuda Pancasila adalah rancangan Sultan Hamid II,” katanya pasti. Besar harapan masyarakat Kal-Bar dan bangsa Indonesia kepada Presiden RI SBY untuk memperjuangkan karya anak bangsa tersebut, demi pengakuan sejarah, sebagaimana janji beliau ketika berkunjung ke Kal-Bar dihadapan tokoh masyarakat, pemerintah daerah dan anggota DPRD Provinsi Kal-Bar.**



Sultan Hamid II Pencipta Burung Garuda

Syarif Abdul Hamid Alkadrie yang bergelar Sultan Hamid Alkadrie II dan Sultan ke 8 Pontianak, Kalbar ini adalah pencipta Burung Garuda. Sultan Hamid juga orang Indonesia pertama yang berpangkat tertinggi di dunia militer.



Pontianak: Nama Syarif Abdul Hamid Alkadrie memang kurang dikenal di Tanah Air. Padahal, tokoh nasional dari Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat ini adalah pencipta lambang negara Indonesia, Burung Garuda.



Selain pencipta lambang negara, Syarif yang bergelar Sultan Hamid Alkadrie II dan Sultan ke 8 Pontianak ini juga adalah orang Indonesia pertama yang berpangkat tertinggi di dunia militer, yaitu mayor jendral.



Sultan Hamid membuat lambang negara berdasarkan penugasan Presiden Sukarno pada 1950. Saat itu dia menjabat menteri tanpa porto folio. Rekannya, Muhammad Yamin sebenarnya juga membuat rancangan lambang negara, Namun, Sukarno akhirnya memilih rancangan Sultan Hamid. Setelah disempurnakan, gambar Burung Garuda diresmikan Sukarno sebagai lambang negara pada 10 Februari 1950.



Salinan sketsa Burung Garuda yang tersimpan di Keraton Kadriah, Pontianak ini menunjukkan proses pembuatan lambang negara sangat rumit hingga harus diubah berkali-kali.
