Kuliner? Hm, jelas pasti nasi padang sama sate padang dong!

Tapi, gak lupa nyobain rekomendasi kopmil om ping~ Kopmil, kopi milo?! dan katanya dengan campuran skm juga. Entah kenapa pas pertama nyobain kayak capcin. Tapi enak kok! Bahkan abis tu tiap makan pesennya kopmil lagi (ceritanya mau nyobain berbagai macam kopmil) 😁

Jangan lupa pesennya pas siang, biar makin kerasa segar!

Sate padang? Sejujurnya, agak sedikit trauma makan sate padang sebelumnya karena tiap makan pasti langsung "lancar" 😂 Jadi sampai sebelum kerja, baru pernah makan sate padang 2x! Seumur hidup pun bisa diitung berapa kali makan sate padang 😅

Akhirnya setelah kerja baru makan lagi, tapi kayaknya "lancar"-nya gak bisa dihilangin 🙈 Cuma yang sebelomnya pesen sate daging, kemaren pas di Padang coba pesen yang campur sama lidah dan... ENAK! Kenyal teksturnya~

Mungkin mulai sekarang, klo beli sate padang bakal pesen yang campur atau lidah? wkwkwk

Padang, 18-20 May 2022.

[Paper] The microstratigraphy and depositional environments of Lida Ajer and Ngalau Gupin, two fossil-bearing tropical limestone caves of west Sumatra

The karstic caves of Lida Ajer and Ngalau Gupin in West Sumatra, known for early Homo sapiens and Hexaprotodon fossils, underwent microstratigraphic analysis, revealing complex sedimentation and diagenetic processes. This study sheds light on the environm

via Scientific Reports, 02 January 2024: The karstic caves of Lida Ajer and Ngalau Gupin in West Sumatra, Indonesia, offer valuable insights into prehistoric environments and human history in Southeast Asia. Lida Ajer, significant for its evidence of early Homo sapiens presence, and Ngalau Gupin, known for its hippopotamid Hexaprotodon fossils, were subjected to microstratigraphic analysis. This…

"A 2019 sighting by five witnesses indicates that the long-extinct Javan tiger may still be alive, a new study suggests.

A single strand of hair recovered from that encounter is a close genetic match to hair from a Javan tiger pelt from 1930 kept at a museum, the study shows.

“Through this research, we have determined that the Javan tiger still exists in the wild,” says Wirdateti, a government researcher and lead author of the study.

The Javan tiger was believed to have gone extinct in the 1980s but only officially declared as such in 2008...

Ripi Yanuar Fajar and his four friends say they’ll never forget that evening after Indonesia’s Independence Day celebration in 2019 when they encountered a big cat roaming a community plantation in Sukabumi, West Java province.

Immediately after the brief encounter, Ripi, who happens to be a local conservationist, reached out to Kalih Raksasewu, a researcher at the country’s National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), saying he and his friends had seen either a Javan leopard (Panthera pardus melas), a critically endangered animal, or a Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica), a subspecies believed to have gone extinct in the 1980s but only officially declared so in 2008.

About 10 days later, Kalih visited the site of the encounter with Ripi and his friends. There, Kalih found a strand of hair snagged on a plantation fence that the unknown creature was believed to have jumped over. She also recorded footprints and claw marks that she thought resembled those of a tiger.

Kalih then sent the hair sample and other records to the West Java provincial conservation agency, or BKSDA, for further investigation. She also sent a formal letter to the provincial government to follow up on the investigation request. The matter eventually landed at BRIN, where a team of researchers ran genetic analyses to compare the single strand of hair with known samples of other tiger subspecies, such as the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) and a nearly century-old Javan tiger pelt kept at a museum in the West Java city of Bogor.

“After going through various process of laboratory tests, the results showed that the hair sample had 97.8% similarities to the Javan tiger,” Wirdateti, a researcher with BRIN’s Biosystemic and Evolutionary Research Center, said at an online discussion hosted by Mongabay Indonesia on March 28.

The discussion centered on a study published March 21 in the journal Oryx in which Wirdateti and colleagues presented their findings that suggested that the long-extinct Javan tiger may somehow — miraculously — still be prowling parts of one of the most densely populated islands on Earth.

Their testing compared the Sukabumi hair sample with hair from the museum specimen collected in 1930, as well as with other tigers, Javan leopards and several sequences from GenBank, a publicly accessible database of genetic sequences overseen by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

The study noted that the supposed tiger hair had a sequence similarity of 97.06% with Sumatran tigers and 96.87% with Bengal tigers. Wirdateti also conducted additional interviews with Ripi and his friends about the encounter they’d had.

“I wanted to emphasize that this wasn’t just about finding a strand of hair, but an encounter with the Javan tiger in which five people saw it,” Kalih said.

“There’s still a possibility that the Javan tiger is in the Sukabumi forest,” she added. “If it’s coming down to the village or community plantation, it could be because its habitat has been disturbed. In 2019, when the hair was found, the Sukabumi region had been affected by drought for almost a year.” ...

Didik Raharyono, a Javan tiger expert who wasn’t involved in the study but has conducted voluntary expeditions with local wildlife awareness groups since 1997, said the number of previous reported sightings coupled with the new scientific findings must be taken seriously. He called on the environment ministry to draft and issue a policy on measures to find and conserve the Javan tiger.

“What’s most important is the next steps that we take in the future,” Didik said."

Nepenthes tenuis is the second smallest species in its genus (pitcher size), endemic to West Sumatra, and only rediscovered in the wild in 2002. Occurs in mossy forests above 1000m, endangered.
