This may be common in the world of archeology: found a human skeleton 2,500 years old in England. But surprisingly, in the skull found in the brain that are still intact.
Findings brownish yellow shrunken brain so the big question for scientists: how could the fragile organ could last thousands of years. Also, how often the preservation of unique events that occurred.
Moreover, except for parts of the brain, all soft tissue on the skull was missing when the framework was drawn from the Iron Age mud puddle, which happens to be the location of the complex expansion of the University of York in Heslington East.
"It is amazing, imagine, a person's brain who died thousands of years ago can survive in wetlands," said Sonia O'Connor, a researcher at the University of Bradford posdoktoral, such as sites loaded LiveScience.
O'Connor examines teams of scientists who reviewed the oldest brain condition that after the discovery in 2008.
"It's very surprising, if you talk to a pathologist who often deal with dead bodies. They would say, the first organ that will decompose and turn into liquid is the brain. Therefore, a high fat content."
The skull was allegedly belonged to a man aged 26 to 45 years in the two jaw bones and a broken neck - body of evidence was hanged and then beheaded. However, O'Connor continued, there was no indication why he was hanged. Residual bodies of the others has not been found.
For information, more than a decade ago, O'Connor was involved in the discovery of 25 brain preserved in the medieval era in England. However, no signs of skull in Heslington was intentionally preserved or made mummies.
Skull Heslington allegedly buried immediately in wetlands immediately after death. The lack of oxygen may prevent brain tissue decay. However, although oxygen free factor seems to be the key to this mystery, scientists could not possibly get rid of other factors such as illness or certain physiological changes - such as hunger - which may affect the preservation of the brain.
After a long submerged in a wet environment, the brain begin to change chemically Heslington, developed into a durable material and shrunk to a quarter of its original size. Currently, scientists are still investigating the details of the chemistry of the brain.
Allegedly, Heslington skull originated between the years 673 until 482 BC. While Roman is expected to arrive in the region in the year 71 AD. According to Richard Hall, director of archeology at York Archaeological Trust, in the past, the findings of the skull was estimated to an environment that is permanent, with water channels.
Archaeologists also found a ring that is believed the former thatched roofs, as well as features such as ponds that may be used for water storage, he said. Scientists can not yet reveal the purpose of the holes - in which the skull was found. Meanwhile, no other human remains have been found on the site.
Attacks against Libya began criticized major powers. China is a permanent Security Council members (DK) first UN against attack. Previously, Russia and some EU countries including Germany as a UNSC non-permanent members are also opposed.
At first countries that supported the UN resolution on no-fly zone. But after developing the air assault troops with the US-led coalition and NATO, many major countries oppose. Russia through its Foreign Minister Lavrov Sargei ask the coalition to stop the attack on Libya.
The Russian government also reminded NATO because it can be dragged on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. "As we predict NATO will be dragged deeper," said the Russian envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency.
Prime Minister (PM), Russia Vladimir Putin to assess the resolution of the Security Council of the United Nations (UN) is incomplete and flawed because allowing all actions against Libya.
Unfortunately, the Indonesian government has yet to have a clear stance. As a result, thousands of followers of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) and the Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) held a demonstration condemning the military action led coalition and its allies against Libya, at the Monas, Central Jakarta.
MCC and NU accuse western countries that joined in the coalition riding a Security Council resolution (DK) United Nations (UN) to attack the oil-rich country.
CURSE COALITION
NU through general chairman Said Aqil Siradj coalition condemned the action. According to him, the United States who had been taught democracy, showed anti-democratic attitude through these barbaric attacks.
He also argues, should Indonesia could appear to be a mediator in solving these problems together with member countries of OIC (Organization of Islamic Conference) and the Non-Aligned countries. "Will there be any result or not, it will let me," he said. "So far the U.S. has always taught democracy. We think the attack on Libya was contrary to the principles of democracy, "he said on the sidelines of the Plenary meeting in Pondok Pesantren NU Krapyak, Yogyakarta, Sunday.
Politicians MCC Hidayat Nur Wahid added, "What happened in Libya, a foreign intervention. They rode the UN Security Council resolutions to protect civilians but, in fact victims of civil society. "
Current situation in Libya, the fighting between opposition and loyalists Gaddafi continue smoldering. The rebels control Ajdabiya, a strategic town from the east of the country. Opposition forces are also grateful to the coalition attacks so they can master the region.
AFP reported at least there were 21 bodies lying in the street Gaddafi loyalists toward Ajdabiya. The city is a city controlled by the opposition since the first UN attack March 19
President Barack Obama, according to AFP, said the international mission has been saving lives of innocent people from the cruelty of Qaddafi.
ROME - Italy will propose to the German plan together for Libya on a ceasefire, humanitarian restrictions and seclusion for the Libyan leader Muamar Gaddafi, said Foreign Minister Franco Frattini.
Frattini in an interview published daily "La Repubblica" on Sunday said that Rome would try to make Berlin approve the plan and present it in a meeting in London to establish high-level group of regulators to Libya.
"We have a plan and we'll find out whether the plan can be translated into Italian-German proposal, possibly in a joint document, which we will submit on Tuesday," he said.
He said the joint document that included a cease-fire, supervised the United Nations and the "fixed limit of humanity" to allow aid in, Frattini noted that Turkey had taken action to achieve it.
Italy will require strong commitment by the Arab League and African Union to engage in dialogue with the opposition Libya, he said. Arab countries will attend the meeting on Tuesday. Frattini said Italy "does not think" letting Gaddafi solutions in power and added that the African Union seeks to persuade the Libyan leader had stopped and even members of Gaddafi's government is also seeking the same thing.
Ambassadors in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will meet on Sunday to discuss plans to expand the alliance's mandate to establish a full command of military operations, including attacking targets on land.
NATO officials say, when all 28 NATO member countries agreed to expand the role of the alliance, NATO will provide "political control over operational decisions. " However, they said NATO "consider" guidelines, issued by the agency in London.
Tripoli - International Circle strives ouster of Libyan leader. However, it is difficult to be realized given the people still are many who adore Muammar Gaddafi as a national hero.
From the outside, the capital of Tripoli is the most affected town charm Gaddafi. The pictures seen hanging everywhere. In the light poles, shopping centers, even in the walls of the building. The fruits of his thinking too much quoted and placed in schools, government buildings and public toilets.
Gaddafi supporters still exist. They wore green cloth and holding pictures of Libyan leader during the last 41 years. Their presence attracted attention, because the sound noisy and constantly singing praise to Gaddafi. They traveled to all corners of Tripoli, gathered in the Green Square and chanted slogans.
"God, Muammar and Libya. That's enough, "he yells kept shouted. How in support of the population that is motivated by fear, not known clearly. However, with a foreign military attack, it is impossible for Gaddafi to continue to rely on the strength of loyalty that is now shrinking it.
"We do not want another, just Gaddafi. He gave freedom and everything we needed, "said Fatima Al Mishai (20) who joined with other societies when Gaddafi gave a speech at the Bab al Aziziyah a few days ago. Fatima, like the other people who gathered in that place, offering themselves as human shields for bombs or rudak directed to Gaddafi.
Majdi Daba, 42-year-old dentist also said the same thing. According to him, Gaddafi gave full independence to the people of Libya. "He makes me feel like a human being completely free. No one was poor and no one was starving, "he said.
It is not surprising that there is a group of people like them. Especially considering that the state government has always tried to maintain revenues at above average. Not to mention the social benefits, including health care and education.
However, opposition to Gaddafi, who currently are more numerous, had dared to criticize. Moreover, if far from the loyalists.
"About 75% of the people against Libya at this time. But admittedly, there are some people who truly loved her. They do not recognize (the leader) the other and feel the blood flowing in veins Gaddafi, "said an anti-Gaddafi demonstrators who refused to give his name.
How can a man who always lived in tents and nicknamed 'mad dog of the Middle East' by former U.S. President Ronald Reagan's loyal supporter of this hook, it's still a big mystery. Some states, went to Libya in the country like Alice's adventure like in the movie Alice in Wonderland. Like being in another world, a world of eccentric.
Instead of finding the rebels who tried to destabilize the regime, presented a view of the world instead of fighting the real revolutionists topple the government. Because, Libya is still in government after Gaddafi's revolution to get rid of King Idris I in 1969 ago. Ironically, Gaddafi can not be overthrown because he had no official position.
"He brotherhood leader, guide, mentor, patriarchy and the uncle who gives advice. He did not lead the people. Gaddafi is the country itself, with the support of the police and the Revolutionary Council that make up the laws of this country, "said analyst Libya at Dartmouth College, Dirk Vandewalle.
What do Gaddafi is to give people all their needs. He built all the necessary infrastructure such as schools, roads, hospitals and others. State nearly doubled the size of Egypt, the population only a tenth less and per capita income more than doubled.
Saif al-Islam figure who is also the second son of Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has been a revered figure of the West because it always acts to help or as a bridge for his country. But this time, he has deleted all these figures with weapons by showing off the video. Of course it makes the West furious. The man who is now 39-year-old accidentally been recorded in a video while carrying a weapon while berucapa to his fighters, "You all will get support and weaponry. Everything will be fine. "
The clip reportedly made earlier this month. Saif appeared wearing a dark bomber jacket and speaking to an enthusiastic group of men. He stands on a truck and urged the audience to fight till the death.
At the beginning of the Libyan people began to rebel, Saif appeared in a television broadcast and threaten people who want to overthrow his father that there will be bloodshed. He even warned the international community so as not to interfere.
Support Saif for his father, also seen in an interview with foreign journalists last weekend. He tried to make the atmosphere light by making jokes funny. "Everything is quiet. If you hear the sound of fireworks, do not deem it a shot, "said Saif.
The world community is still puzzled to get a solution in dealing with Libya. Arab League agreed on the imposition of no-fly zone in Libya, Moammar Qaddafi to prevent use warplanes to attack the opposition. But the Arab League strongly denied foreign military intervention in Libya.
As released by Reuters on Thursday (3 / 3), Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa said, to reach a decision, the Arab League should first coordinate with the African Union, including the matter of imposition of ban on fly zone in Libya.
Application of fly zones considered wiser than military intervention. The Arab League has suspended the membership of Libya under Qaddafi's regime in protest at the attack on the masses who are still fighting to overthrow Qaddafi.
Moussa said the Arab League's stance was reaffirmed when the West were arguing about an emergency plan to deal with the crisis in Libya. A number of opposition figures in Libya has asked the West to do an air strike.
However, Qaddafi warned the West not to intervene militarily. "If that happens, the world will witness the bloodbath," the threat of Qaddafi.
China refused The Chinese government on Thursday asked the international community to respect the territorial integrity of Libya. China said it was because of the Security Council (BOC), the UN has begun to think about the possibility of attacks against Libya and the planned military action the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
"We must respect the sovereignty of Libya," a spokesman for Chinese Foreign Ministry, Jiang Yu, in Beijing.
China and Russia became a major barrier to international attacks by the UN Security Council mandate. Two of the country including the core members of the UN Security Council.
The U.S. government under President Barack Obama wants to prevent the mistakes his predecessor, George W. Bush, who invaded Iraq without a full mandate from the UN Security Council. In front of the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton's Foreign Minister warned that U.S. intervention would be "things that will be debated."
're After mistakes Some U.S. allies in NATO are also reminded that the idea of imposing no-fly zone over Libya considered a mature space. In fact, the Germans warned the West not to meddle too much in Arabic.
In addition to the UN Security Council, the NATO is also no agreement. "There is no unanimity in NATO about the use of force," said U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
However, NATO Secretary General Anders Rasmussen said, NATO remains a wise action plan in the face of all the possibilities.
So far, international pressure is still limited to freezing of Libyan assets abroad. Another pressure is the threat to prosecute past crimes Qaddafi and family.
Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Luis Moreno-Ocampo, on Thursday in The Hague, said the ICC would investigate human rights violations in Libya. This is one way to open the way to the arrest of Qaddafi.
Apart from the various scenarios, the West has sent several warships closer to Libya. U.S. to deploy three warships.
Thursday Canada also deployed warships, HMCS Charlottetown, from the port of Halifax, Canada East, to join the U.S. fleet in the Mediterranean. The ship was carrying 225 soldiers and Sea King helicopters perched on the deck of the ship.
French warship carrying helicopters, Mistral, also has led to offshore Libya.
Meanwhile, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez claimed to have talked with Qaddafi. He spoke of an effort to defuse the crisis in Libya. "Chavez is ready to emerge as pelerai antarkubu the fighting in Libya," said Venezuelan Information Minister Andres Izarra via Twitter, on Wednesday.
Chavez has a good relationship with Qaddafi. He has invited its allies in and outside Latin America to discuss the formation of block pelerai-called Committee for Peace-Libya to mediate conflict. No mention is exactly what will be done Chavez. West also did not move about Chavez's intentions.
Attack coalition forces led by the United States (U.S.) back to Libya will worsen the relationship between Islam and the West. It is not possible terrorist action will bring up the attack Western interests in various countries.
"I hope to attack coalition forces were not excessive and refrain from doing so if the attack will worsen again over the relationship between Islam and the West," said Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council KH Ma'ruf Amin in Jakarta, Saturday (26 / 3).
He said the actions of coalition forces to bring such that excessive civilian casualties and damage to various community facilities and infrastructure such as schools. "This action will lead to excessive anger Muslims worldwide," said Ma'ruf.
Ma'ruf recognize actions of coalition forces are now redundant because it must immediately dihentika. "They (coalition forces), it should provide protection to people against Muammar Gaddafi's Libya," he said.
However, continued Ma'ruf instead of military action to destroy a variety of facilities and infrastructures Libyans. In fact, the innocent civilian victims died from the attack.
Previously, the Libyan government spokesman Ibrahim Mousa stated civilians killed by coalition forces has reached 100 people. However, the West has denied the Libyan government's official announcement.
London - British war planes had destroyed five armored vehicles in an air strike against Libya Muamar Gaddafi's troops in the city of Ajdabiya and Misrata, where rebels fight the regime of Gaddafi. Libya's defense ministry reported on Saturday (26 / 3).
British Tornado jets fired a missile on Friday, the army in Ajdabiya pro-Gaddafi, who recaptured the rebel forces, Saturday. Britain was also pounding the Misrata, who became a fierce battle.
Maj. Gen. John Lorimer, a spokesman for Chief of Defence Staff, said the Tornado GR4 aircraft to take part in "a coordinated attack with missiles against military units Colonel Gaddafi's Libya. "
"Tornado aircraft that has launched a number of guided Brimstone missiles, destroying three armored vehicles in Misrata and four armored vehicles left in Ajdabiya," said Lorimer.
He described the Brimstone missile as high-precision weapons, low damage guarantee, which is expected to move Goal and demanding.
US-led coalition, Britain and France embarked on an air strike last week to implement UN resolutions that allow all the ways to make fly zones and protect civilians from Gaddafi's troops.
Tripoli - a joint military action Libyan tanks bombarding the looming death in the eyes of Muammar Gaddafi. But he always survived. Is it true that dozens of virgins to be the source of spiritual power?
Amid the barrage goes wild West, has been ascertained by active Gaddafi sought refuge in his country. However, it seems that the Libyan leader is no need to worry, because he has a team of specially trained bodyguards for several decades.
It is an open secret, Gaddafi's bodyguards were female. However, in addition to handsome and macho, not many know that his bodyguards were in fact still a virgin! Yes, as many as 40 virgins using cosmetics with cocked guns are always ready to be around Gaddafi.
Lady's maid was wearing glasses guard output renowned designer, wearing military boots high heels and do not forget to wear a camouflage uniform. But do not be gullible. Still look pretty and sexy, all these women are trained killers.
Direct our minds fixed on the Women's Military Academy, founded Gaddafi in Tripoli in 1979 ago. The Academy formed as a symbol of female emancipation.
"I promised the mother to improve the condition of women in Libya," Gaddafi said when establishing the academy. His mother is an ordinary woman is illiterate of Arab Bedouins. As he was born in the middle of the Italian occupation of his country.
Some foreign visitors who had given a peek access academy gave his testimony. In the block-style academy Sparta, there are about 100 women who were trained technical elite troops killed, day and night, for three years. They were woken up at 4:30 every morning, then warm up by jogging for a half hour.
After that, they go to classes. Some are trained to fly MIG fighter jet. Others studying the martial arts, even firing rocket-propelled grenades. "The exercises involving all military capabilities. Starting from the weaponry, fighting with bare hands, to telecommunications, "said Jane Kokan, Canadian journalist who has documented these activities in 1995.
While Doug Sanders, another Canadian journalist who had received a similar permit in 2004, wrote down his experiences on the blog. He believed, women's elite bodyguard, also known as the 'Protectors of the VIP' is a symbol.
"This picture of the idiosyncratic thoughts and enigma of the revolution in a Muslim country, where women in daily life is still far to get equal rights and obligations," he wrote.
The best student of the college-student was dubbed "revolutionary nuns'. They never married and dedicated his life entirely on the idea of revolution by Gaddafi in 1969. Dilarangan They have sex and swear to protect Khadafi, if necessary, until his death.
It has been proven, in 1998. A a bodyguard named Aisha Gaddafi throws himself into the direction when Islamic militants attacked a convoy of Gaddafi. A series of bullet killed Aisha and two other colleagues. But Gaddafi survived, without the slightest scratch. So do not doubt the ability of these women in providing protection.
Western intelligence agencies have repeatedly tried to shake the loyalty of the inner circle Gaddafi. Although there are several who betrayed the Libyan leader for 41 years, no single female bodyguard who registered the case. Even there, Gaddafi's regime would do anything for the sake of maintaining the image of elite bodyguards.
"Without the leader, Libyan women do not mean anything. He gave us life and I am ready to die for him. He is a father, brother and friend who can you trust. You would not believe how low his heart Gaddafi, "said 27-year-old girl who was trained at the academy, Fatia.
Many believe Gaddafi is currently lurking outside of Tripoli. However, he appeared on the balcony of Bab al Aziziya, complex missile hit his home a few days ago. Private jets are also believed to have been destroyed, he mitigates fled abroad. There was no other choice for Gaddafi, in addition to give his life to the virgins that. However, until when?
King of sea fish (the coelacanth) was considered to have become extinct with the dinosaurs. Fish that are found again in 1938 it is reported here in the form of a rare photo story.
Rarely are living fossils appear in the nets of fishermen. However, that's what happened in 1938, when a South African museum curator named Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer saw a strange creature with thick scales, fins odd, and an additional lobe on its tail, in between regular fish catches. Although not directly know the time, Courtenay-Latimer rediscover coelacanths, which are considered extinct in the late Cretaceous Period but somehow last longer than many fellow prasejarahnya, living deep in the sea, undisturbed and not-known-for thousands of years .
Since the emergence of this unexpected, Latimeria chalumnae found in some isolated place in the Indian Ocean. No one knows how many fish are left-can 1000 can also 10,000. Because it their habitat, these fish primarily photographed using a submersible vehicle and unmanned spacecraft. First-time divers to document this fish in 2000; in January and February 2010, a team of specially trained to dive into the deep ocean to photograph a small colony at Sodwana Bay, South Africa.

Along the road in the town of Tachilek in Myanmar's northeastern region, yesterday, visible cracks after the previous night rocked by an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter Scale. The quake has killed at least 75 people in Myanmar and Thailand. The victim is expected to continue to grow.
YANGON-When Japan had not yet recovered from the devastating earthquake and tsunami that rocked them on Friday (11 / 3), an earthquake occurred again. This time in Myanmar. Vibration earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter Scale (SR) that shook Myanmar on Thursday (24 / 3) night was also felt to Bangkok, Thailand, which is about 800 km from the epicenter, Hanoi, and parts of China.
Residents throughout the area panicked and fled from their homes. While the buildings swayed and hospitals and schools were evacuated. The quake centered at 90 km north of Chiang Raid and 235 km north-northeast of Chiang Mai, Thailand, it has caused 74 people dead and 111 injured in five regions in Myanmar, close to the epicenter of the quake. The quake also caused 400 buildings collapsed in the four villages and towns near the epicenter. While the nine government office in Tarlay, Myanmar, the monastery was also destroyed and 14 damaged. The death toll was expected to grow.
"We're trying to reach remote areas," said a Myanmar official told AFP. "The military, police and local officials tried to find the people who were injured in the region hardest hit by the quake, but the streets are still closed." In Thailand, local officials revealed, a woman was killed in the district of Mae Sai after a wall collapsed at his home. Until yesterday, an aftershock measuring 5.5 magnitude rocked the Thai people and causing panic.
But there were no reports of damage to the building despite residents near the epicenter were advised to evacuate. According to Reuters, the earthquake shook the region originally "Golden Triangle" where Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos bertemu.Guncangannya feels hard in the capital city of Thailand and Myanmar to Vietnam where the people who live in tall buildings were evacuated.
The quake's epicenter was 10 km below ground level, but only caused minor damage in Thailand.Kota Tachilek in Myanmar suffered heavy damage from the quake. People ran from their houses and streets look developing cracks. Red Cross explained, a hospital in Tachilek broken and trained local volunteers have been mobilized to provide first aid.
DiYangon, Chris Herink, Director of the Foundation, World Vision in Myanmar, estimates that there are no major infrastructure damage in the area of Tachilek and Kengtung although cracked buildings and water supply in some areas terganggu.Dia explained, the team found that Tarlay and Mong Lin is the worst area exposed to earthquake shocks. "Real concern is rural areas.
I'm afraid will be a lot of information that is not fun to come from there, "he told AFP. World Vision is helping care for approximately 7,000 children are sponsored by foreign donors in the region hit by the quake. According Herink, Myanmar's government seems to try to give information to citizens about the quake with the update number of casualties and damage. BBC report, Myanmar is considered as a country that is not prepared for disasters.
Communication systems and poor infrastructure, while the military government tends to restrict the flow of information. Ben Phillips from Save the Children in Bangkok said that his organization was combing the area that earthquake shook the region near the border of Thailand and trying to assess the situation in Myanmar. "It's more difficult because of the quake shook the area that is very remote.
Isolation that may limit the impact of the earthquake, also making efforts to get information on the impact of the earthquake was more difficult. Maybe it will take several days, "he explained to AFP. The quake occurred two weeks after Japan was hit by an earthquake measuring 8.9 magnitude and tsunami that left an estimated 27,000 people dead or missing and sparked a crisis in Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Fukushima. Myanmar and Japan are located on different tectonic plates, separated by a vast Eurasian plate.
Researchers from Syracuse University, Professor Stephanie Ortigue, found there were 12 areas of the brain are working when someone falls in love. The twelve areas that produce chemicals, such as dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline, and vasopression, resulting in euphoria. Her love also affects the function of psychology, metaphors, and physical assessment.
So, the love that comes from the heart or brain? "The question is always difficult to answer. I think it came from the brain," said Ortigue. "For example, a process in our brain can stimulate the heart. Some of the feelings in our hearts is actually a symptom of a process that occurs in the brain."
Another study found that increasing the amount of blood in grower factor for nerve plays an important role in how people socialize. This presents a phenomenon called the "love at first sight. " This is confirmed by the findings Ortigue which mentions that love can be present in the fifth of a second.
Ortigue explained by understanding how people fall in love and breakup, researchers can develop new therapies. "We can understand the breakup of disease," said Ortigue.
Ortigue study also found that there are parts of the brain that is different for different types of love. Unconditional love, such love of a mother to her child, the brain activity triggered by the public and in different places, including the midbrain. The passionate love between lovers engage cognitive areas, the expectation of reward, and physical assessment.
According to an official statement issued Thursday (24 / 3), the Japanese government plans to import bottled water from various countries abroad for the water needs for families with babies after reports of water contamination due to nuclear power plant disaster.
It had been expressed to alleviate public concern following a report the discovery of contaminated water content of radioactive isotopes of iodine exceeds the normal range for infants. Contamination was found in testing water samples in Tokyo and two other neighboring prefecture region with the Chiba and Saitama. Yukio Edano, Chief Cabinet Secretary explained that the imported water is one of the main options are discussed in the meeting.
He added that the recommendation that babies under one year of age did not consume the tap water was referring to the Japanese health policy guidelines, which tend to be conservative and protective.
Edano Admittedly, this adds to the anxiety and tension among residents about safety in the public sector by means of leaking reactor and the nuclear crisis as a result of the Japanese earthquake.
National Geographic - A star is 75 light years from Earth may be the coldest star ever found. Temperature no hotter than a cup of coffee that you just brewed.
Stars with 1458 CFBDSIR code 10b has a temperature ranging from 97 degree Celsius on the surface. Previously, the star has the coldest temperature ever encountered 150 degrees Celsius.
Stars who are called "brown dwarfs" included a failed star. Stars like it got hot and chemical properties such as star, but do not have enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion in their core.
In addition to the cold surface finds, Michael Liu, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii, also said that the dwarf star with a size 6 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter's got the atmosphere with clouds of water.
Liu stated that the most exciting of these findings is the beginning of the discovery of a new class of objects that blur the line between planets and stars. "I think this is a surprise to the astronomical community," Liu told National Geographic.
Brown dwarf stars do not seem to be the title of coldest planet for long. Scientists with the Spitzer Space Telescope was sure there was another dwarf star that is cooler with temperatures 30 degrees Celsius.
NASA is now developing vehicles that can deliver astronauts to the asteroid and one month of Mars. Vehicle called the Orion capsule and developed together with leading aircraft developers, Lockeed Martin, and is expected to be completed in 2019.
To achieve that big goal, NASA and Lockeed Martin will first develop the Orion as a vehicle that serves the mission of the International Space Station (ISS). Scheduled, Orion will undergo an orbital test in 2013 and began operation in 2016.
In developing the Orion, Lockheed Martin Space Operations Simulation Center building area of 41,000 square feet at a cost of 35 million U.S. dollars, equipped with a full scale model of the ISS and Orion models are placed on towers weighing 75 tons. That's where a series of tests on Orion will be done.
Lockheed Martin to introduce new facilities to the general public, on Tuesday (22 / 3), while showing off the Orion design. Human GM Spacefilght Lockheed Martin John Karas said, "Orion is being prepared for flight. We will do from design to testing and from testing to operation."
Orion initially named Constellation and is a part of the mission to the Moon former president George W Bush. However, last year the mission worth 100 billion U.S. dollars to be overturned President Barack Obama with the reasons for wanting to develop more advanced space missions.
NASA spokesman Bob Jacobs said, "Orion will evolve from previously under the Constellation program to be part of a multifunctional vehicle crew." He said, Orion is planned to serve short-haul missions to the ISS as well as long distances.
Orion has a module for crew and cargo, service module for propulsion, power and other requirements as well as launch-abort system to save the capsule when the booster rocket failed to work. NASA successfully tests on the launch-abort system 2 weeks ago.
Director of the crew and service modules Lockheed Martin James Bray said, the first Orion capsule is being assembled in another building Lochkeed Martin in Waterton. The first capsule will be used for testing the soil and may be launched in a suborbital test.
Many components of Orion that can be reused after a flight a few flights, including some electronic systems. Orionnya himself could not be used because the extraordinary force that resisted during takeoff and landing again.
The execution of the capsule will begin next August. Although not far from success, but the development of Orion has a positive impact on the surrounding community. Project Orion provides opportunities to 10,000 people to work and participate at work working on Orion.
National Geographic - Equipped with a gun in the form of a creepy long teeth, Tiarajudens eccentricus turned vegetarian.
T. eccentricus not only have a pair of long teeth, but on the palate big toothed ancestor of mammals was studded teeth. According to investigators, the tooth will quickly replace the missing tooth, as in sharks.
Archaeologist Juan Carlos Cisneros, who found the fossil T. eccentricus in Brazil, said that the mammals this seems like a combination of several different animals. "Teeth series such as horses, fit for cutting and pulling plants; molar for chewing, and fangs like a sabertooth cat," Cisneros describes T. eccentricus.
This finding is surprising for Jörg Fröbisch who is also an archaeologist. "We usually do not suspect there will be a large fanged carnivorous," said Fröbisch who was not involved in the study.
The researchers suspect that such big teeth used to repel or frighten predators. They also reveal the possible use of these teeth to fight with other species.
Discovery News - Leor Weinberger biochemist from UC San Diego uses unorthodox approach to combating the spread of HIV / AIDS: the virus against viruses.
Weinberger and his colleagues in San Diego and UCLA make the ride on HIV particles. As HIV moves into someone else and be in the cell, the virus that will compete with HIV.
During simulation, the researchers found that the therapy is called "therapeutic interfering particles (TIPS)" This reduces the number of people infected with HIV-third of the twenty-conditions now.
TIPS is made from a harmless part of HIV by eliminating a key part of genetic information, such as how to duplicate themselves. In order to survive, TIPS using DNA from the original virus to replicate, which means that TIPS can not live without HIV.
TIPS particles that also contain genes that are engineered to inhibit HIV. Both viruses use the same protein and have to compete with each other to get it when in the cell. This competition makes it more difficult for HIV to multiply. TIPS can survive for a year in the body, which means they can slow the progression of HIV to AIDS 5 to 10 years.
TIPS has not been tested in humans. "We worked very carefully to take into account the risks of using TIPS. We do not yet know whether these viral particles can mix with genes evolved and again when they are used,"explained Weinberger.
HIV is spreading most drug users and sex workers. TIPS is considered the most phenomenal ways to cope with HIV infection in this community.
MailOnline - 12-year-old boy with autism are surprisingly developed his own concept of advanced mathematics.
Jacob Barnett who suffer from autism and has an IQ of 170 - IQ higher than Albert Einstein - learn calculus, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in a self-taught in a week. Now this becomes a tutor for a college friends at Indiana University.
Jake, a call for Jacob, now start the ambitious project that is developing its own version of relativity theory. His mother sent a video on this theory to the Institute for Advanced Study near Princeton University. Professor Scott Tremaine of Indiana Star has confirmed the authenticity of the theory of Jake. "I terpukai with an interest in the field of physics and the many things he's learned so far," Tremaine wrote in an e-mail to Jake's family was quoted as saying by the MailOnline.
According to Tremaine, a theory that is being created by Jake contain some of the most difficult problems in the field of astrophysics and physics. "The person who solves this problem deserves the Nobel rewarded," said Tremaine.
Jake is a person with Aspergers syndrome, a mild form of autism. His parents realized the ability of Jake when Jake started to move big. At the age of three years, he managed to arrange the puzzle of 5000 pieces. He also was able to read maps a state, to memorize the name of the highway code and vehicle number plates.
At age eight, he had graduated from high school and went to Indiana University to take classes advanced astrophysics.
The next step, Jake will be invited to join the research team.

Brussels - Turkey offers one of five submarines and warships for the NATO mission off the coast of Libya to implement UN arms embargo against the regime of Moammar Qaddafi.
NATO has accepted an offer from six countries as many as 16 ships to prevent weapons reaching the hands of troops Moammar Qaddafi, said General of Canada Pierre St-Amand, during a press conference in Brussels, Belgium.
Turkey agreed to donate one submarine, four warships and one auxiliary ship, said St-Amand detailing.
Ankara criticizes Western attack against the regime of Moammar Qaddafi and submit objections NATO took part in the implementation of no-fly zone, but the country support the implementation of arms embargoes.
Donations to an arms embargo, including a command and control ship from Italy, 10 warships (four from Turkey and one each from Canada, Spain, Britain, Greece, Italy and the United States).
Italy, Spain and Turkey each filed one submarine, while Rome and Ankara also contributed one ship each maid.
NATO will also use maritime surveillance aircraft and radar observations of jumbo jets to keep the ocean. The operation will end in NATO naval base in Naples, Italy.
NATO has the intelligence data suggesting Gaddafi's regime continues to find a way to bring weapons into the country, even by sea.
"There is enough in our intelligence data to know that the arms embargo is an important aspect to hold ekanan on the regime."
Khost - Military operations of Western troops under the command of the United States in Afghanistan since 2011 for the umpteenth time dining among the civilian death toll. A boy was killed by gunfire directed at militants in eastern Afghanistan on Wednesday (03/23/2011).
Jeremy Morlock, United States soldiers was 22 years old, seemed grinning beside the corpse of Mudin Gul, son of Afghan farmers, who had just massacred him along with his friends. This happened on January 15, 2010 but only now revealed
Coalition forces opened fire from the air into the car carrying a group of militants in the province of Khost, eastern Afghanistan, but the attack on another vehicle, killing the boy.
Statement was issued Khost police chief, Abdul Hakim Esahaqaai. According to him, two other civilians were also wounded in the incident.
"Coalition forces killed two enemy and wounding two others. But when they opened fire, a civilian car coming from opposite direction is also affected by the attack. One child was killed and two others injured," he said.
Mubarez Zadran, Khost provincial government spokesman, confirmed the incident but declined to give further detailed explanation.
While International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), NATO-led states are still investigating the claim.
"We conduct offensive operations to target a guerrilla leader in the province of Khost. We know there are civilian casualties and we are still investigating," the army said in a statement.
Civilian deaths in military operations is a very sensitive issue in Afghanistan as coalition troops preparing to hand over security responsibilities to Afghan forces by 2014.
That last event occurred after the nine children who are looking for firewood have been killed in Nato air strike near the border with Pakistan earlier this month.
Problem of civilian deaths has eroded popular support for the government of President Hamid Karzai's Western-backed.
Karzai rejected the apology commander of foreign troops from the United States, General David Petraeus for the deaths of nine children in air strikes in Kunar province, eastern Afghanistan, it is.
A total of 711 foreign soldiers have been killed in the war in Afghanistan over the past year. Afghan Interior Ministry announced that 2043 civilians were killed during 2010 alone.
Brussels - Six NATO warships that supported a plane on Wednesday (23/03/2011) began patrolling international waters off the coast of Libya to implement UN arms embargo against the regime of Moammar Qaddafi.
"The ships of war and NATO aircraft began patrolling off the coast of Libya as part of Operation Unified Protector," NATO said in its Internet pages.
The ships are already in the waters off the coast of Libya, while a patrol aircraft and fighter jets headed to that place.
"To make observations and intercept long distance flights suspected of carrying weapons to Libya," the alliance said.
"The ships will remain in international waters and will not enter the territorial waters of Libya," he explained. Pierre St-Amand-General of Canada previously announced, the six NATO countries have pledged 16 destroyers for the operation, including three submarines. NATO allies agreed to launch an operation on Tuesday night.

Attacks on the Gmail account that was allegedly coming from Chinese spies, forcing Google to take action. Internet giant has issued a threat that it plans to pull out of the Bamboo Curtain country for good. Yes, Google is threatening to flee from China, after realizing the burglary of Gmail accounts. Google said Chinese spies had attacked them and 20 other companies.
According to the investigation of Google, the attack was intended to track the movement of human rights activist throughout the world to use e-mail service Google. Dozens of activists Gmail accounts based in Europe, China and America have routinely accessible to third parties by means of malware that is injected in the computer. Beaver will this attack, Google issued a statement that they would no longer perform their filtering on the search engine in China. Google, since established in China in 2006, was forced to submit to Chinese rule that they should filter the content, such as that involving pornography and sensitive issue. Furthermore, through the official Google blog on Wednesday (13/1/2010), they say, if you can not find a middle way between Google and China, then Google will soon leave. "We have decided to no longer censor Google.cn, and we will discuss with the Chinese government about how we can operate a search engine without the filter but in line with the law. We are aware, this will lead to closure Google.cn and potentially also on the closure of our offices in China. "
Google itself realizes their decision is very heavy. They explained that this step is driven by the executives in the United States, without them knowing that the workers in China have been working very hard to make a success Google.cn. So far, Google is still the potential to survive in the country, despite the pressure of government censorship continues launched. Meksipun so, they have not been able to become No. 1 in China and still less with the host player, Baidu.com.

Mutoha Arkanuddin from Jogja Astro Club (JAC) to observe and record the phenomenon from the headquarters in Gejayan JAC, Yogyakarta, with a telescope.
The results shown in the accounts up recording it. He said, "Actually this is unusual natural phenomenon. When viewed with the naked eye will not make any difference. It's a bit like distinguishing pants size 34 and 36, if not close to see it also not be visible."
Actually he is planning to hold a "watching together" with members of the JAC and the community. Unfortunately, as happened in Jakarta, Yogyakarta was hit by heavy rain and lightning. Finally, the plan was canceled, and finally he made the observation alone.
"Finally my own observations at 2. Had I record too," he said. When using a telescope, then measure the difference visible. According to the publication of NASA, the size of the Moon at perigee (the nearest point from Earth) is only 14% larger than when apogee (the farthest point from Earth).
Mutoha said, the images and footage that was taken last night could be evidence of the size of the Moon at perigee authentic. "Later we will also take at apogee. With photometry later we can compare its size," said Mutoha when contacted via phone today (20 / 3).
Although last night was full moon and perigee, did not mean the surface of the Moon seem more clear. "On the full moon is at least good for observation. crater the Moon actually difficult to see," he said. So, with the telescope though, which can be enjoyed only a larger size.
Although an ordinary phenomenon, Mutoha said that Supermoon can make astronomy more and more demand. For those who do not have time to watch, here is the result of recording Mutoha. Because the weather was not good, then the occasional cloud covered moon looks thin.
Guyism - There are few wild animals that nature revealed less-likely because of cartoons about the world of wildlife. These are nine of them.
Dolphins. Marine animals which frequently hugged and kissed at the zoo is actually included one animal that "depraved" in terms of sex. Like primates, they have sex for pleasure. Not only that, they are also known to hold an orgy. Apart from that, dolphins are very intelligent. I was so smart, the Soviet army to train them to become sea.
Chocolate Spider hermit. The spider is brown sage may cause a serious condition in humans when angry. Spider bites can cause infection, blood clots, and decaying flesh. All three symptoms were only a few symptoms of many horrible symptoms. These spiders live in damp and dark places. He could also walk around "looking for trouble".
Elephant Shark. These sharks including a new shark species. His jaw may elongate as it moves to kill. He used muscle that acts like a tongue to attract prey.
Mantese Prawns. mantese prawns or mantis shrimp has the ability to hunt. There are two types of shrimp ronggeng: awl and beater. Awl to use portion of his body like a spear to kill prey. While bats use a portion of his body like a cudgel to beat their prey to death. That said, the mace has the same velocity bullet caliber weapon 22.
Horned lizard. Although smaller than the human hand, these lizards have a bad nature. When encountering predators, this lizard show his horns, trying to look more sinister. When bluff failed, he memuncratkan blood from his eyes.
Hercules Beetle. Look at the claws on the front, the size can be larger than its main body. Adoptive Strength: 850 times its body weight. These animals rarely attack humans, but quite scary to see passing in front of people.
Chimpanzee. For animals that often appear in circuses and zoos, chimpanzees, including small animals are dangerous. Primates are strong and aggressive. There have been many stories that reveal the chimps attacked each other to obtain or maintain regional power - and to related agencies. Is it hard to imagine that the chimpanzee is a primate that has the most similar to human DNA?
Stingray. This is the animal that killed Steve Irwin, host of The Crocodile Hunter, a show about wild animals. Actually, this fish-friendly animal. But when angry, he can sting with poison and causes pain throughout the body, seizures, and bleeding.
Hippopotamus. Hippo like creature that fat and lazy. In fact, the hippo is one of the hot-tempered animal. Animals that could open his mouth with a very large crocodile is often found to pursue, their natural enemies. They were also found to have attacked humans.
Discovery News - A British company developed a technique of storing the energy produced by wind and sunlight. This technique uses air stored in liquid form.
Renewable energy sources have a period because the sun does not always illuminate a location the whole time, and wind does not always blow. However, electricity is still needed at the time of no sun or wind.
To address that problem, Highview Power Storage develop a way to save energy dihasilan by wind and sunlight can be used as a backup for the second time these natural elements are not available.
Cryo System of Energy-owned company that uses excess electricity to power the air conditioning machine. The machine will reduce the air temperature to -196 degrees Celsius so that the air becomes liquid. The liquid was collected in a tank insulated with low pressure.
When electricity demand is high, liquid air was removed to a place that its temperature slightly warmer than -196 degrees Celsius so that turned into gas, which is used to drive turbines that generate electricity.
This system is only able to produce an efficiency of, meaning that the electricity generated only 50% compared to the electricity used for cooling systems. Efficiency increased to 70% when warm air is used. According to the Highview Power Storage, efficiency can be further increased if the system is installed in facilities that have heat dissipation.
Other systems that can be used to store energy using water. Excess electricity is used for water pumps to shelter a high position. When electricity is needed, the water flowed down through the dam and turn turbines. "Water pumping is more expensive and not seportabel CryoEnergy system," explained an article in the magazine Gizmag.
Another way to save energy is with the battery. But, the cost of storage it is U.S. $ 4.000 per kilowatt. CryoEnergy only cost U.S. $ 1,000 per kilowatt.
CryoEnergy project currently running in Scotland for 9 months. Highview plans to build commercial-scale system with a capacity of 3.5 MW. In 2014 they plan to make the 8 MW to 10 MW.
Popsci - Countries in the Caribbean will conduct simulated 7.6 magnitude earthquake in the American Virgin Islands, followed by a tsunami.
The simulation was done because the Caribbean is a region often hit by earthquakes. Seeing the big earthquake in Japan on Friday (11 / 3) they feel the need to perform simulations to evaluate a similar disaster warning system and personnel readiness.
Exercise called Caribe Wave 11 will take place on March 23 and involves the West Coast / Alaska Tsunami Warning Center and Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. Competency of the organization is expected to run well. This exercise is an international scale and will involve 33 countries.
Personnel in disaster (weather information center, police, coast guard, etc.) in each country will move and the alertness and ability to apply them when the disaster actually occurred. Meanwhile, residents do not need to do evacuations.
CNN - WHO consider radiation on some Japanese food is more serious than expected. Through his spokesman in Manila, Peter Cordingley, WHO recommends that people in Japan should be careful of food and drinks they consume.
Japan's Health Ministry reported on radioactive iodine in milk derived from 4 locations in Fukushima. The content was stretched from 20% more than the safe limit of up to 17 times the safe limit. Tests at a location to find the content of cesium 5% above the safe limit.
"It is not like our suspicion," said Cordingley. "The situation is more serious," he continued. WHO see Japanese people researching the origin of food before buying. "We think it a wise move," Cordingley responded.
In Ibaraki, the tests on 10 vegetable production sites found iodine to 27 times more than safe limits. Cesium amounted to 4% more than the safe limit was found in 7 study sites.
The content of radioactive elements in water are well below the levels that worrying. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Japanese government found only six of 46 samples containing radioactive isotope iodine-131.
Isotopes of iodine and cesium is a byproduct of nuclear reactors. The content of iodine-131 can be decreased after 8 days, while the new cesium-137 will be reduced after 30 years.
Fukushima is the fourth location in Japan which has the largest farms. Their products are fruits, vegetables, and rice. Ibaraki, located in southern Fukushima, Tokyo supplied with fruits and vegetables. Ibaraki is the third largest pork-producing in Japan.
Researchers from the Biosciences Institute of Botucatu, Brazil, has found that banana peel can be used to pull heavy metals that contaminate the water. "Not only that. Its performance was better than other techniques," said Gustavo Castro, researchers from the Biosciences Institute.
Castro and colleagues dried banana peels. Then they mix the banana skin with water. The result, as described by Castro, clean water from the metal. "Metal stick to the banana skin,"explained Castro. He also added that the ability to attract metal banana skin over other materials.
Metal contamination in water is usually extracted using silica, cellulose, and aluminum oxide. Cleaning water is expensive and have side effects.
Although Castro has proven the ability of a banana skin, he has not been suggested for purifying water at home. Tap water usually contains no metal. Moreover, the layman may not be able to measure the metal content in water. The research results are published in the journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research is aimed at industry.
Besides bananas, researchers have also tried other crops, such as apples, sugar cane waste, coconut fiber, and peanut shells, to clean the water from toxins.
NASA and Orbital Technologies Corporation (OTC) is developing plantations in outer space.
According to NASA, they have developed the gardening tools that have been sent to the international space station. Booth for gardening that made as many as four pieces. Each chamber of the middle deck of the spacecraft. Each chamber will be controlled humidity, temperature, water, lighting, and composition of its atmosphere.
Astronaut Peggy Whitson said surprised by the existing garden salad. "Although not much, but great fun to see something green," he said. Peggu also said that her friends in the team as well feel the same pleasure. "They were even photographed themselves with the plants," said Peggy.
Who created this garden is still in experimental stages. The result has not been tested for consumption. But NASA said there is the possibility of progress toward consumption. According to an astronaut, Leland Melvin, in a state of weightlessness, each astronaut has his own food locker. Some foods have become a favorite among astronauts, such as peanut butter, because it is very easy to eat with one hand. Maybe one day, micro green plants will be food in space.
Secrets stored in an ancient stone monument of Stonehenge would soon be revealed. The researchers used a laser technique to uncover the mystery of the deposit.
Until now, no one could ensure the function or purpose of Stonehenge development in the past. Megalithic monuments in the form of stones are very large are arranged vertically with a height of 10 feet and weighing many tons were estimated to archaeologists as a marker of the cemetery or an astronomical observatory. Some other researchers suspect sites that five thousand years old and was built in the right position to observe the sky. There's even a mention of Stonehenge as a tourist destination that serves as a center of ancient healing.
Now, the researchers used laser technology to obtain more definitive answers. "We use lasers to scan the nearly three dozen rock megaliths in Sarlisbury Plain, southern England in order to obtain more detailed information about Stonehenge and the surrounding area," said Paul Bryan, a spokesman for Department of Buildings and Historical Monuments of England.
To investigate every inch of every rock Stonehenge researchers are currently conducting a 3D laser scanning combined with digital imaging technology. With this new technique they hope will be able to uncover the meaning of images and modern graffiti engraved on some of the giant stones that are often referred to as "art rock". The end result of scanning and imaging will be the most accurate model of the ancient site.
Dave Batchelor, archaeologist from Home Heritage said that the surface of the stones of Stonehenge store instructions past that very interesting. "Rock it like a manuscript that stores information about the thought, effort, and the various peculiarities that mark human life for thousands of years ago," he said. Therefore, Batchelor very enthusiastic awaits the findings of which will be obtained.
Stonehenge research process is currently underway and expected to be completed by the end of this month.
Japan has a robot that can be used to help rescue victims of disasters.
Rescue robot named RoboCue it belongs to the Tokyo Fire Department and designed to take the victims of the disaster, especially catastrophic bomb.
RoboCue using ultrasonic sensors and infrared cameras to search for trapped people. Then carefully, he would appoint people and took him to safety. RoboCue even equipped with oxygen cylinders.
Making this kind of robot, for scientists, as mentioned by Popsci, very important. Predicting disasters, especially earthquakes, are still difficult to do by seismologists. Therefore, efforts to minimize the number of victims is to develop rescue strategies and victim search.
Uniquely, the location of a place prone to earthquakes is a very advanced robot technology, Japan and California, USA. Japan is located in the circle of fire, near the Pacific Plate and the Eurasian Plate is highly prone to earthquakes. With technology owned by Japan, this situation can be a developer of technology to solve the problem of the earthquake.
Two kilometers far below the Alps, workers raced through the train's longest and deepest tunnel in the world.
The hallway is extreme, when historians of Wales, Adam of Usk, buffalo cart ride across the gap that wild and remote Gotthard in Switzerland on his way to Rome in 1402, he was so frightened as to ask for a guide to close her eyes with a cloth so that he does not need to see the road. He's not the only people who pass through the Alps that mengangankan no other way. For thousands of years, the mountain was a major obstacle for travel and trade in Europe. To cross it, people have to travel long that usually dangerous, or at least a severe incline.
However, soon it changed. Over the past nine years, troops tunnel makers toiling away at the core of the hard granite mountain named Mount Gotthard giant, to build the longest railway tunnel and the deepest in the world.
Last October the miners who dug the tunnel to the north of the state of Italian-speaking Ticino met with their counterparts who dug into the south of the German-speaking Sedrun, end stage of tunnel excavation single-aisle aisle these two historic moments televised live Swiss TV and broadcast throughout Europe. Final breakthrough in the hallway only expected to occur in April.
With a length of 57 kilometers, the Gotthard Base Tunnel Channel Tunnel easily beat the 50 kilometers between the English and French and current record holder, 54 kilometers along the Seikan Tunnel in Japan. The tunnel is also unique in the field of engineering. While the two closest competitors stretched beneath relatively shallow waters, through the Gotthard Tunnel complex bedrock in a giant mountain that many times. There has never been made so far tunnel into the mountain, or effect a change so great
When launched later in 2017, the tunnel will make Switzerland, in terms of riding the fire, as flat as Holland.
