Wina, City of the world's best

LONDON - The city is most comfortable in the world? Survey research and consulting firm Mercer called the City of Vienna in Austria as the best city to live.

Forbes was quoted as saying last Wednesday May 26, Vienna defeated another city after collecting the highest quality of life index, namely 108.6, and 126.2 index of environmentally friendly city. Predicate best city is the second time after the 2009 Vienna achieved then also awarded a known sama.Wina has produced great composers like Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert, Johann Strauss considered hostile to life and business environment and also have a comprehensive public transport system.

Behind Vienna, the annual survey Worldwide Quality of Living Survey this year put the two cities in Switzerland, namely Zurich and Geneva, ranked second and third. Both the city collects each index of quality of life of 108 and 107.9. While eco-friendly city for the index respectively 133.5 and 131.1.

"Cities and towns in Switzerland is very pleasant with a clean natural environment. We consider the prevalence of Switzerland's neutrality, "said Rebecca Powers, a consultant Mercer.

"If you can not safely stay in Switzerland, you will not be safe anywhere," he added. Based on Mercer's survey, with the advantages of Vienna Zurich beat the index more than half a point and less than one point from the third position. These data show that the three major cities in the world index, which weighs almost the same.

"There may be little advantage compared to Switzerland and Austria to make us like hair splitting between the two countries," said Powers.

The fourth place until the 10th of each occupied Auckland (New Zealand), Vancouver (Canada), Dusseldorf (Germany), Munich (Germany), Frankfurt (Germany), Bern (Switzerland), and Sydney (Australia).

In Mercer's survey this time, cities in Europe occupies seven of the top 10 places for quality of life as it is considered relatively safe in political stability and cultural offerings. The cities in the United States (U.S.), Honolulu, known as the favorite for the best tour in the land of Uncle Sam was only ranked 31st on the list of Mercer.

Other U.S. cities such as San Francisco is at number 32, and Boston (37), Chicago and New York (49), while Philadelphia and Dallas for the first time this year on the list ranked the best city to-55 and 61. Ranking the best cities conducted Mercer overall placing 221 cities around the world based on evaluation of 39 factors from 10 categories.

The 10 categories are political conditions, economy, health, education, public services, recreation, availability of daily necessities, housing, and environment. From to-10 category, was split into several measurements such as public transport systems, law enforcement until the availability of restaurants and air pollution factors.

Cities must compete with the City of New York's index as a comparison city. New York's own index set with a score of 100 points. At this time the Mercer survey, the cities with the highest points are places that have the best safety records and low levels of political upheaval. Another factor that affects the rating is the existence of cultural facilities, infrastructure and availability of good schools.

Especially in the U.S., although kotakotanya excluding bad in the provision of public facilities, Mercer gave a note to the safety factor is considered to be weak, so unable to compete with Western Europe. "In the U.S., crime is usually more an issue of weapons umum.Ketersediaan sana.Banyak locations outside the United States such as Canada and Switzerland's social life is more clean because the number of crimes was minimal," added Power.

In Asia, Singapore was ranked highest as the best city in the world to live. The city-state is ranked 28th worldwide, while Tokyo at number of other 40.Kota in Japan, namely Kobe and Yokohama, also included in the top 50, then in a position to Osaka and Nagoya-51 in order to 57. As for the cities in other Asian ranks the most under the alias as the worst city. The town was referred to Dhaka, Bangladesh (206); Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (209), and Dushanbe, Tajikistan (201).

Mercer senior researcher Slagin Parakatil disclose, adverse conditions in Asian cities is a concern because of increased threats of violence and terrorism, coupled with natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes.

"This resulted in an increased requirement for higher allowances for expatriates who are sent to these countries," added Paratakil.

Unfortunately Mercer did not mention where the position of Jakarta. This year also introduces the town of Mercer ranking criteria environmentally friendly (eco city). Cities are assessed by considering the quality of life, including how big a city to promote awareness of sustainability and protecting the environment. For the category of eco city, the City of Calgary in Canada at the top, followed by Honolulu and Minneapolis in the U.S..

Placement of environment-friendly cities are also seen based on the level of water quality, air, waste disposal, and traffic jams. "Many cities that ranked high for the quality of life and also a responsibility to ekologi.Ini probably because they are able to think about the environment," says Powers

World's lightest Soccer Shoes

Adidas launched its newest product in the world's lightest football boots "F50 adiZero". Shoes with a weight of 165 grams has a special design that is used to meet the demand of speed in playing soccer.

This lightweight shoe print was obtained from (shoe last) lightly equipped with a wider footbed and heel that can distribute power optimally. Microfibre raw materials derived from polyurethane which can reduce the overall weight and ensure that the shoe fit the foot, like a second skin.

"Officially launching adiZero F50 has been done since the beginning of March 2010, while for Indonesia, began marketing done per day," said Monica as Indonesian Adidas Brand Communication in a press conference in Jakarta on Monday (5/24/2010).

In a grand event for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, F50 adiZero also be used by some famous players who was appointed ambassador of Adidas, such as Lionel Messi and David Villa.

'I was amazed to feel how the newest of the Adidas F50 light of this, even I almost did not feel like wearing shoes, "said Lionel Messi in the news release

Similar also disclosed former Valencia striker David Villa. "Speed is important when playing football. I'm really looking forward to the moment when I move faster while playing in South Africa later on against the world's best national team in a few weeks," Villa said in a press release.

David Villa will use the F50 adiZero black and white version, while Messi using a special version of chameleon color purple and white with electric accents.

It costs about $ 199

Qbot, Robot Mini that was funny and cute

Jakarta - Developer robots Spaniard, Francisco Paz created a mini robot that is funny and adorable. Robot Qbot named this could serve as a home robot that can be bought a lot of people.

Qbot was created without having your arms and legs. Although robots can not do this looks okay, but Qbot designed with some interesting features. One is designed to be interactive robots.

Qbot development based on open source software and hardware to upgrade DIY (Do It Yourself). With a height of 18 inches and weight 19-24 pounds, Qbot purposely designed for the consumer to be a mediocre marsupial can be enjoyed by many people.

Equipped with three wheels, this robot is claimed to be able to avoid obstacles. Plus four infrared sensors, ultrasonic, and her eyes stereoscopic vision and webcam to detect faces. Not to forget, three microphone to recognize voices and the LED to give a facial expression and speech synthesis to allow the speakers.

Quoted from Cnet, on Thursday (26/05/2010), Paz told in his blog that it took over five years to design Qbot. This project was inspired by a desire to create a home-based robotic pets like cats and dogs.

Quoted Tokyo University engineering professor, Tomomasa Sato, Paz meet its creators call a robot to begin creating a global standard open source robot which later became Ford's Model T or the consumer robotics.

Sato believes global standard robot is able to inspire tens of thousands of engineers around the world to realize the dream of having a personal robot that is useful at home.

Indonesian Batik So the World Heritage

Indonesia's struggle to gain world recognition for batik as an original Indonesian cultural heritage is not in vain. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) will certainly reinforce the batik tradition as one of the world's original cultural heritage of Indonesia in the coming October in France.

Said by the Director General of Culture Value, Arts and Film Department of Culture and Tourism, Tjetjep Suparman in Surakarta, Tuesday (2 / 6). "It took three years to propose," he said. Previously, puppets and dagger also has received similar recognition from UNESCO some time ago.

"Six countries including representatives from UNESCO has conducted an assessment of batik culture," said Tjetjep. After doing the assessment and verification for three years, finally there is recognition to culture as the culture of Indonesian batik. "On 28 September 2009 stipulating tomorrow," said Tjetjep. While the new inaugural will be conducted on October 2, 2009 in France.

Besides batik current government has also filed several cultural products to gain the same recognition, including gamelan and angklung. "Hopefully the process will go well," he said.

Separately, Chairman of the Society Kampoeng Laweyan Batik Surakarta, Alfa Fabela particularly welcome the recognition. "We just hope that youth can to help preserve the cultural traditions of batik," said Alfa Fabela.

She also hopes the recognition can be made more known batik. 'As a result, exports could also increase, "says Alfa. Mekipun according to him, this time mostly batik makers still focus to work on the domestic market.

5th Largest Natural Disaster Ever Happened

Natural disasters are something that no one wants to experience it. This disaster is so deadly, for those affected either directly or indirectly. Here are five of the most widely claimed disaster casualties:

1.Central of China floods in 1931 (Flood of China Central):

Occurred in 1931, Central China Flood is said to be the deadliest natural disasters ever recorded. At that time, after a long dry China hit by seven hurricanes, which brought torrential rain brings. During the floods in central China, three other rivers join the river overflowed Yangzte, Yellow River and Huai River. Reported four million people died because of this flood.

2. Yellow River flood 1887

Yellow River, located in China is very vulnerable to flooding. In the Yellow River flood in 1887 caused the destruction of approximately 50,000 square miles of land. The farmers who live near the river actually has built a moat - a small moat to help hold water if the flood comes. But heavy rains that came too soon exceed the capacity of these small trenches. Flood said to have killed between 900 000 - 2,000,000 people.

3. Shaanxi Earthquake, 1556

Shaanxi earthquake which stands as the most deadly earthquake. On February 14, 1556, an earthquake hit China. Epicenter located in the Wei River Valley, as many as 97 villages of Henan, Shaanxi, Hebei, Anhui, and others affected. Statistical data shows 60% of population of 97 villages were killed. Overall, more than 830 000 people die from Shaanxi earthquake.

4. Bhola Stroms, 1970

Bhola storms hit East Pakistan, now known as Bangladesh on November 12 1970.Terkenal as the deadliest hurricane ever recorded. 115mph winds with the strength and reach hurricane strength of three categories. 500 000 people reportedly died of a storm at sea that brought heavy rain and caused flooding in many areas.

5. Indian Stroms, 1839

n 1839, a huge storm hit Coringa, India. This occurred on 25 November 1839 when a storm as high as 40 feet (12 M) destroyed the city. Unfortunately this city is not adequate infrastructure, 20 000 ships anchored in the town were destroyed. More than 300,000 people have died after the storm surge down.

Know Your Playstation Creator

Who does not know the Playstation (PS)? Console game graphics production Japanese electronics giant, Sony, was popular throughout the world. Behind it all, not many people know that a man named Ken Kutaragi to be the one most responsible for forming 'Playstation generation'.

Born in Tokyo on August 8, 1950, Kutaragi social circumstances pertained casual. They live by managing your own business, a printing factory in the factory town. Since childhood Kutaragi has developed mechanical skills at the plant, after school.

Kutaragi is known as a student smart. With intelligence like that, it's easy to get a job at Sony's Kutaragi, over the degree of electronics engineer. Kutaragi at the company's reputation soared. He is known as an exceptional problem solver. Projects that had always worked brilliantly handled, including the creation of liquid crystal project plays (LCDs) and digital camera.

His interest in creating a game console began in the late 1980s. One day, he watched his daughter playing a Famicom. Instinct kissing video games business potential. Unfortunately, while Sony executives were less interested. Kutaragi spirit which swelled to even create video games of one hand clapping.

However, Kutaragi creativity smelled Nintendo - game console company that is now the number one competitor Sony. When Nintendo asked him to create a chip, Kutaragi was powerless to refuse.

Secretly, Kutaragi worked for Nintendo's secret project. SPC700 chip designs. Unfortunately, the Sony smell it work. Kutaragi was almost fired, if the CEO of Sony. Norio Ohga, did not intervene. He even asked for Kutaragi's side complete the task.

Sony's Kutaragi continues to ask for a research fund making the Super NES CD - technology applied to the PS. When ambition is undoubtedly among eksukutif Sony, once again Norio Ohga support them. In 1990s, finally officially launched the Sony PS products.

Did not take long, the PlayStation soon brought many famous and money to Sony. Until May 18, 2004 only, Sony has produced 100 million PS. That success was also made president of Sony Computer Entertainment Kutaragi in 1997.

Brief Biography of Ken Kutaragi

Ken Kutaragi was born on August 8, 1950 in Tokyo Japan. As a child he was known as a diligent and smart, she is described as a disciple who was always getting the value 100. Kutaragi also known as a child who likes tinkering with things mechanical, he often opened his own toy and see how the toy works. From the nature of curiosity, finally took an interest in electronics to adults, on the grounds that he also studied and graduated from Denki Tsushin University majoring in electronics. After graduation he began working at Sony, where he got a good reputation as a solver of problems and succeeded in bringing success to Sony's projects that he followed (including the initial projects LCD and digital camera).

In the late '80s, a moment he saw his daughter playing Nintendo's Famicom, Ken Kutaragi realized the potential of video games. However, at that time the management of Sony was not interested in the Video Game industry. Nintendo chance and coincidence with the help of Sony's desire to create a wave-table sound chip for the SNES, Kutaragi immediately accepted. Though she had worked with Nintendo, Sony, which looked down on video games. However, Kutaragi may be funds to develop the Super NES console CD which eventually became his own besutan namely Sony PlayStation. Unsuspected even compete with Nintendo and SEGA are already seasoned in Video Game Industry, Sony's success with their console.

Ijen Crater is the Best Big And Beautiful World

Mount Ijen Crater is one tourist destination in East Java, which is always crowded visited both domestic and foreign tourists. Enjoying a beautiful natural mountains and cool they often do with the way camp at Paltuding.

Ijen Crater Lake is a lake located at the peak of Mount Ijen. Because the process of Ijen volcano, the crater filled with water to form a crater lake which is very beautiful and amazing.

Crater lake with green water toska and was very acidic pH. In the southeast of the lake there is solfatara field wall and crater lakes in the western part there is a crater Dam upstream from Banyupait time.

Mount Ijen solfatara field which is always releasing volcanic gases with high sulfur concentration and the smell of gas sometimes sting and irritate the respiratory tract is a tourist attraction that never missed to visit, even in the daytime this place never quiet because there is always the sulfur miners taking and transporting / carrying sublimat Paltuding sulfur reached.

Ijen Dam is part of interesting tourist attraction but not always visited by tourists due to among other accomplishments that are difficult due to the road to get there is often damaged due to landslides. Ijen Dam is concrete buildings built since the Dutch colonial era and are intended to regulate the lake water level so as not to cause flooding of acid water

But this dam is now not working because the water never reached the door due to water seepage / leakage of water under the dam lake.

The occurrence of this continuous seepage results in the process of formation of gypsum from sulfuric reaction products contained in the lake water with calcium compounds from the water and with calcium from the rock that is passed and the evaporation process is also accelerated its formation. Gypsum field can be one of the interesting tourist attraction when it is managed professionally.

Travel tours to the crater of Ijen, starting from Paltuding 1.600 masl, an outpost at the foot of Mount Merapi Perhutani-Ijen. From here a dirt road continues to climb to an altitude of 2.400 m above sea level with a travel time of 1.5 - 2 hour leisurely stroll. Along the way many bearers passed by exchanging friendly greetings sulfur.

Arrive at the crater lip, a green lake Tosca with a diameter of 1 km covered in mist and sulfur fumes were far below. For it could lead to source of sulfur TSB, had to descend through a rocky cliff caldera path traversed by the miners. Wet handkerchief is necessary, since often the wind blew the smoke toward the path carrying a decline.

Based crater, parallel to the surface of the lake there is a place-making sulfur. Thick white smoke gushed out from a kind of iron pipe which is connected to a source of sulfur. 600oC molten red hot fumaroles melt out and frozen with cold air, forming a bright yellow solid sulfur. Sometimes uncontrolled burning embers fumaroles, which are usually drenched with water immediately

to prevent a chain reaction piroporik. Sulfur rocks are cut with a crowbar and transported kedlm basket. The miners generally work with a bit of cloth or piece of cloth gloves as makeshift air filter.

Climbing to the crater of Ijen is generally recommended starting in the morning. For security reasons, climbing into the crater from Paltuding closed after 14:00, because the thick smoke and the possibility of wind direction that leads to a climbing lane.

When you travel in the morning, visitors are advised to stay at nearby locations such as Cottage Tours in Paltuding clean enough, or open the tent at the campground Paltuding. If you want to enjoy the atmosphere of the mountain plantation,

a memorable place to stay is the Coffee Plantation Guest House in Kalisat PTP Nusantara XII, Jampit. This guest house is located within the plantation housing complex at an altitude of approximately 1.200 masl. Temparature average around Ijen crater is 13 oC during the day and 2 oC at night. at the inn Paltuding.

U.S.A Scientists Create "Artificial Life"

VIVAnews - A team of scientists in the U.S.A admitted that succeeded in creating "artificial life" first in the world. This is a series of live bacteria cells generated artificial DNA based on computer programming.

Thus says Craig Venter, who led the research team at the J Craig Venter Institute in Rockville city, state of Maryland. "This is the first cell on this planet whose parents are computers," said Venter as contained in the pages of USA Today newspaper, Thursday afternoon May 20, 2010 local time.

"These cells originated from a digital code on a computer," said Venter, who is known as one of the pioneering researcher on the study of human genome mapping and synthetic biology.

This discovery is "a decisive moment in the history of biology and biotechnology." So said Mark Bedau, Reed College scholar and editor of the Journal "Artificial Life," as quoted by Science magazine.

Blue living bacterial cells were stored in a cooler and will be exhibited in a museum. The cell was believed to be not contagious. Venter Institute believes that the creation had a great impact for other studies.

"Through this study, the team has been involved in discussions and external ethical review and realize the social implications of this research," according to Venter Institute.

Venter is now planning to build a software (software) specifically for the development of that cell. The research team initially copying an existing bacterial genome and then assemble the genome of the genetic code and use "synthesis engine" to create a new copy of a chemical.

"We are now able to take a synthetic chromosome and transplanting into recipient cells, which is a different organism," said Venter told BBC television.

So, he continued that once the software they created to function, during the concerned will react and turn into the species which mapped the genetic code.

"It is the first fully synthetic DNA to control a cell," said Venter

10 Mistakes of Science We Get From School

There are some misunderstandings in the implementation of science in public that need to be corrected truth.

Here there are approximately 10 misconceptions about science that circulate in the community.

1. Water IS blue, not Just Because of the Sky

(Blue colored water caused not only a reflection of the sky)

Many believe that the lake and the blue sea "Only" because they reflect the blue sky. Actually, the water looks blue because they are really blue. Water molecules absorb light, and they absorb red frequencies more than the frequency of blue, so the frequency of blue appeared on the surface. Effect was small, so the color blue to be seen more clearly when observing layers of water or in dense enough. In salt water or mineral springs, mineral colors of decay can be seen.

Perefleksian color of the sky also provides a role for the blue ocean, but only when surface water is very calm and only when water was observed with a small kesudutan around 10 degrees.

2. Electricity does NOT travel at the speed of light

Many textbooks claim that the electricity (electrons) flow through the cable runs at the speed of light. The fact is, the energy of fast flowing elektriklah (which is still slower than the speed of light). Electrons, which has mass, can move at the speed of light by using the theory of relativity. The speed of the electric charge in electric current is very slow, around several centimeters per hour. In places where electric currents can be seen, as in electrophoresis, slow movement of the carrier can be seen directly.

3. Seasons are NOT the Same length

Because the earth moves faster in its orbit as it approached the sun, summer in the southern part of the earth / winter in the northern part of the earth is the shortest time for the season, with summer in the north or south of the longest winter. However, the difference is only felt a few days, while on Mars with an eccentric orbit, the difference was huge.

4. You will not get a cold a just from low temperature

Has become a widespread misconception in the public that the common cold can be caused by cold weather. Reality, the common cold is caused by a virus and has nothing to do with low temperature or cold.

5. Saturn is NOT the only planet with rings

Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune also have rings around them, although that was in Saturn's rings are the most obvious and easily seen.

6. Meteors are NOT hot when they land on Earth

When a meteor landed on earth, meteors are usually not hot like most of the meteor in Hollywood movies. Usually, only warm. Meteor velocity sufficient to melt the outer surface, but the material that melts quickly separated, and the interior of the meteor did not have time to heat up because rocks are poor heat conductors.

7. Clouds do NOT form because of the air's temperature

Is the wrong knowledge that the clouds are formed from the cold "hold" less water vapor than warm air. Air does not have the capacity to contain water vapor. Only the temperature of the water itself (and vicinity) which causes the humidity, condensation process, and then the formation of clouds.

8. People DID know earth was not flat before Columbus

Some believe that Christopher Columbus had difficulty in receiving support because the people of Europe believe that the earth was flat. In fact, sailors and navigators at that time knew that the earth is round, but (correct knowledge) do not agree with estimates from Columbus of the distance to India. If America does not exist, and Columbus went on his journey to India that actually, he will not be able to survive longer to achieve.

9. The Great Wall of China is NOT particularly visible from space

At the time in low orbit, the Great Wall of China can be seen from outer space but not as unique from the digembor rant. From the low earth orbit, many artificial objects can be seen on earth, not just the Great Wall of China. Highways, ships at sea, dams, railways, cities, rice fields, and several buildings.

As has been claimed that the Great Wall of China is a man-made objects are visible on the Moon, Apollo astronauts have reported that they did not see any human-made object from the moon.

10. There is NO "dark side" of the Moon

Months in orbit synchronous (synchronous orbit), this means, the moon menmbutuhkan exactly the same time to rotate once on its axis with the rotation of the earth. So the moon has the far side / rear / dark / outside, because it always gives the same to the earth's surface when it rotates. When the moon is estimated to be between the Sun and Earth, it dalah time "lunch" at the far side / outside / back of the moon and the night for the side facing the earth. When the Earth between the sun and moon, the part that much experience when "night" and "lunch time" for the part which faces the earth.

Amazing!!!! Engineer Youngest 9 Years Old

KOPJE - Macedonia, hoping to turn into the central area of technology today is very much to be proud, articles in the nine-year-old boy Marko Calasan, a Microsoft Certified System Engineer youngest in the world.

The problem is without a serious response and support from the government, Marko did not see any good future in the Balkan region which declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1992.

"I want to stay here, but here less resources. I want to go to the United States, a place where I will get the technical ingredients required. I can not prosper here. I want to stay here, but can not , "said Calasan like the quote from Reuters on Sunday (07/02/2010).

At the age of six years, Marko's getting his first recognition of the administrative system from Microsoft. He became a celebrity in the Balkans throughout the region in December when he received his Certification Systems Engineer, a title that hard to find even by a skilled computer engineer.

With a huge talent he was blessed with special rights, the government also allowed Macedonia not to come to school regularly.

"I like to go to school, but I can not go every day. Too easy lesson, but I get nothing new there," said Marko, who speaks fluent English.

He also worked as controller of system administration in a non-profit organization that helps people with disabilities. Marko now has a new project to teach people about computer knowledge in English using video streaming.

In between the time a computer system to process and also to share knowledge, Marko looks like the other kids in general who like to play ball with friends, roller skating, and also eliminate the stereotype of a nerd. He considers the computer game is a waste of time than the time to "play outside".

Planet Nibiru is a Myth?

From what has been outstanding so far, we know that there is a planet that is approaching our beloved earth. The planet named Nibiru. From some sources also mention that the planet is going to hit our planet in 2012. When the connection between the Mayan prophecies about the end of 2012, this notice will in turn make people believe it.

The question is, where the origin of the planet Nibiru was named to the planet?

The following excerpt from an article I http://netsains.com/ executive of the article contains an interview with David Morrison, NAI Senior Scientist (NASA).

The story begins with a statement about the existence of the planet Nibiru, a planet that "allegedly" discovered by the Sumerians. Zecharia Sitchin, who wrote fiction about "The Ancient Mesopotamian Civilization of Sumer", stated in several books (The Twelfth Planet, ditebitkan 1976) that he had discovered and translated the Sumerian documents that say the existence of the planet Nibiru, a planet orbits the Sun every 3600 years. Sumerian literature also mentions the "ancient astronaut" called Annunaki who visited the Earth from alien civilizations. Then Nancy Lieder, who declared himself to be a physicist, said that he was communicating with the Alien, then wrote in his website "Zetatalk" that a fictional planet around the star Zeta Reticuli warned that the Earth is in danger because the planet X / Nibiru. It was first predicted disaster for the May 23, but when it does not happen anything doomsday date brought forward to December 2012. It's just that lately Sumerian literature is linked to long-term Mayan calendar which ends in 2012. From here on the exact date of doomsday predicted December 21, 2012.

Nibiru is a name of Babylonian astrology, sometimes associated with the god Marduk. Nibiru appeared as a minor character in the Babylonian Enuma Elish poetry as listed in the library of Assurbanipal. From about age 23 until the 17th century BCE, the claim that Nibiru is a planet and is known by the Sumerians very opposite of the scholars (in addition to Zecharia Sitchin), which has been studying and translating literature from ancient Mesopotamia. Sumerian is a great nation, the They are great agriculture, water management, culture, and especially writing. But they left very few records of their astronomical knowledge. They certainly do not mngetahui the existence of Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. They also do not know that planetlah orbiting the Sun, an idea that evolved in ancient greek 2000 years after the collapse of the Sumerian. Statement saying that the Sumerian was great in the field of astronomy, or they have a god named Nibiru Sitchin is the result of imagination.

So, why in 1983, d pemeberitaan newspaper circulating at that time the news that NASA has found the object misteius called Planet X?

"Planet X" is a phrase when used for objects that "may be" real. These terms have been used by many astronomers to name something that may or suspected of an object. When an object is found, it must be called, just as Pluto and Eris, they had been named as planet X. If an object is real or not was not a planet, then you'll never hear it again. If it is real, it will not be called a planet X.

Eris is one of many dwarf planets have been discovered by astronomers at the outer circumference of the Solar System, all had normal orbit and will never go back to Earth. Like Pluto, Eris is smaller than our moon, so far, and its orbit will never be able to take over more than 4 billion miles. There are no secrets about Eris and its orbit.

Speaking tentnag Mayans. Mayan astronomical really smart thing. They are so complicated mengembakan calendar. Ancient calendars of interest to historians, but the ability of precision timing and our timing could not match the ability of the current calendar that we use. Calendar definitive modern and ancient, can not predict the future, or warned of what happened in 2012.

Now, try to note the calendar is in your house? Or on mobile phone and your desk? Our calendar ends on December 31. But it did not happened on that day. It is not a sign that the day was the Day of Judgement or the final day, but it is the beginning of the new year.

Clearly the planet Nibiru is a myth. But the positive thing that we need to take from the planet Nibiru of this phenomenon that we must reinforce our faith in our Lord. Mutual respect, please help between fellow human beings we should do. One more thing, we must also care for our beloved Earth.

Benefits of Bananas That You Do Not Know

Apparently a lot of goodness and health benefits of bananas. There are eight properties of bananas for your body. Are all? Starting from the help lower blood pressure, to keep blood sugar levels. Certainly, consumption and do not ignore the banana.

This is ...

1. Bananas are good sources of potassium, for 100 grams of bananas containing 400 grams of potassium. Just a reminder, potassium are nutrients that can help lower blood pressure, energy supply, helps muscle growth and prevents muscle cramps.

2. Eight amino acids-molecules that form the protein contained a banana. It takes the body, because the body can not produce it.

Incredible! It turns out NASA's Use of Technology Made In Indonesia

Unsuspected, United States Space Agency (NASA) was made in Indonesia using technology, ie technology, scanner or Electrical capacitance volume tomography (ECVT) findings of children of the nation. ECVT is the only technology that can perform a scan of the wall to the outside wall as on space shuttles. NASA developed the scanner system of dielectric components such as dew on the wall outside the space shuttle made of ceramic material. Such substances can cause severe damage during the launch because of changes in temperature and high pressure.

Is Warsito P. Taruno who developed ECTV, originated from Warsito final when the S-1 student in the Faculty of Engineering Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Shizuoka, Japan, in 1991. When that man was born in Solo in 1967 wanted to create a technology that can "see" through the reactor walls made from steel or an opaque object (opaque). He then conducted research at the Laboratory of Molecular Transport under the guidance of Professor Shigeo Uchida.

Not only that, Warsito through Ctech Labs (Center for Research Laboratory Tomography) Edwar Technology, which he founded has produced robot named Sona CT X001, a two-armed robot arm to scan the gas cylinder. This tool is already booked PT Citra Nusa Gemilang, a supplier of gas for Transjakarta bus. Oil and gas company Petronas is also interested in homemade equipment.

Vivos already prepared a number of bunkers in the town of Barstow, which is located in the Mojave desert. For Non bunkers that can fit four people, Vivos reservation rate applied to U.S. $ 50,000 (about Rp.456 million). For individual reservations, rates charged for every adult U.S. $ 5000 and children of U.S. $ 2,500. Pets are free. Daily correspondent of The Los Angeles Times has the opportunity to visit the bunkers. However, journalists should not reveal the exact location of the bunker in Barstow. The reason, according to Vicino, could have its place immediately assailed the people who want to enter for free when it comes disaster.

Then, according to Vicino, applicants must make reservations beforehand.

Steve Kramer, 55-year-old resident of San Pedro, claimed to have paid the booking amount of U.S. $ 12,500 for him and his family. He's also hoard food was dry and taught his son, aged 12 years, to biking in the desert toward the bunker.

Raja Ampat Island, Papua

The Raja Ampat island is a series of four neighboring group of islands located in the western part of the Bird's Head (Vogelkoop) Papua Island. Administratively, this cluster are under the Raja Ampat Islands, West Papua Province. The islands are now a destination of divers who are interested in the beauty of underwater scenery. Four islands are members named by four largest islands, namely Pulau smalldam, Misool Island, Salawati Island, and Island Batanta.

The origin and history

The origin of the name of Raja Ampat by local myth comes from a woman who found seven eggs. Four points in four of them hatch into a prince who parted and each become king who ruled in smalldam, Salawati Misool Misool East and West. Meanwhile, three other eggs became a ghost, a woman, and a stone.

In the course of history, the Raja Ampat Islands have long been inhabited by fishing communities and apply the customary system of Maluku. In this system, the community is a member of a village community. Each village is led by a king. Since the establishment of two Muslim sultanate in the Moluccas, Raja Ampat to be part of the Sultanate Tidore claims. After the surrender of the Dutch Empire Tidore, Raja Ampat Islands became part of the claim of the Dutch East Indies.

They are a friendly community receive visitors from outside, especially if we bring souvenirs for them in the form of nut or candy. This item is a kind of 'peace pipe indian' in Raja Ampat. Events chatting with eating betel nuts are also called "The-the Pinang" often take turns throwing each other mob, the local term for funny stories.

Wealth of natural resources

Raja Ampat Islands waters according to various sources, is one of the 10 best waters for diving sites around the world. In fact, it may also be recognized as number one for the completeness of underwater flora and fauna at this time.

Dr John Veron, coral expert from the Australian experience, for example, within a site was revealed, the Raja Ampat Islands located in the western-most tip of the island of Papua, about 50 miles northwest of Sorong, has the best reef areas in Indonesia. Approximately 450 species of corals could be identified during the two weeks of research in the area.

A team of experts from Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy, and National Oceanographic Institutions (LON) Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) has been rapid assessment in 2001 and 2002. The result, they note in these waters there are more than 540 species of hard corals (75% of the total species in the world), more than 1000 species of reef fish, 700 species of molluscs, and the highest record for gonodactyloid stomatopod crustaceans. This makes 75% of coral species in Raja Ampat world. No single place, with an area having the same number of these coral species.

There are several areas of coral reefs that are still very good condition with the percentage of live coral cover up to 90%, namely in the Dampier Strait (the strait between P. and P. smalldam Batanta), Kofiau Islands, Islands and South East Misool Wayag Islands. Types of coral reefs in Raja Ampat are generally reef edge with sloping to steep topography. But it was also found atoll type and type of burns or taka. In some places like the village Saondarek, when the lowest tides, can be witnessed stretch without a dive and coral reefs with their own adaptations, these corals can remain alive even in the open air and direct sunlight.

Unique species that can be encountered when diving is some kind of dwarf sea horses, wobbegong, and manta rays. There's also the king's four endemic fish species, namely Eviota king, which is a type of fish gobbie. At Manta Point inlying Arborek Dampier straits, you can dive with the Manta Ray was accompanied by several heads of benign like when you dive in Derawan Islands, East Kalimantan. If you dive at Cape Kri or Chicken Reef, you can be surrounded by thousands of fish. Sometimes a collection of tuna, giant trevallies, and school of snappers. But the thrill If we were surrounded by a collection of barracuda fish even though in fact it's relatively harmless (that dangerous if we see barracuda solitary or alone). Reef sharks are also frequently seen, and with luck you can also see the turtle is still eating sponge or swim around you. In some places like in Salawati, Batanta and smalldam also seen Dugong or sea cow.

Because the area of many islands and narrow straits, so most of the dives at a particular time has a tight flow. It allows also for the drift dive, dive, following a strong flow of water so clear, while through the collection of fish.
