Anticipation in 2012, Build Doomsday Bunker

Although denied by many astronomers about the possibility of Judgement due to asteroid impacts in the year 2012, a company from the United States remains prepared a shelters or bunkers. Companies that try to take advantage of people's fears it offers a refuge from the Resurrection.

Vivos, a U.S. company based in California said they are planning a business project that offers a better life expectancy of an event is approaching mass destruction, as we are told many people about the Mayan prediction that is expected to occur in 2012.

Vivos said it plans to build 20 units of protection bunkers throughout the United States. Every bunker that each area 1858 square meters can accommodate up to 200 people. Bunker will be designed to withstand heat up to 700 degrees Celsius, wind speed 700 kilometers per hour, flooding during the 500 hours, even seismic waves which numbered more than 10 Ritchter Scale.

To build any shelter, Vivos predict the cost of 10 million U.S. dollars with a shelter facility, food, fuel, water, clothing, medical supplies, and security system in it. For those of you who are interested in ordering tickets bunkers, ready to spend just 50 thousand dollars.

"This really is not about 2012," said Robert Vicino, Vivos owners. "Everything can happen tomorrow or 20 years from now. You can not predict, but you can prepare," wrote the company's ads on its site.

Robot for Post-Stroke Physiotherapy

Paralysis is often experienced after a stroke, of whom at the arms. Now the experts are developing a robot to train the function of motion in that section.
Quoted from the BBC, a team of researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island who discovered the device described it as power steering for the arms. Patient's upper arm to stay put in the tool that is named MIT-Manus, and perform specific movements. Robot will recognize the movement, gave impetus to help if needed.

Many stroke patients feel the improvement of quality of life after assisted appliance. Tests conducted on 127 patients, who on average have had a stroke 5 years earlier. They were divided into 3 groups and given different treatment.

The first group to get physiotherapy with a robot for 3 months. The second group received physiotherapy with the same intensity, but accompanied by the physiotherapist. A third group was usual care only, without intensive therapy.

Observations were made on the ability to perform everyday movements like holding silverware, opening the bottle, to tie shoes. The results, accompanied by physiotherapy with a robot and physiotherapist together provide a significant improvement of movement function.

The experts recognize a stroke in England, this finding is very interesting. But so could not yet widely used, because it is still in early stages of development.

Fisioerapi intensively indeed needed by patients after a stroke, to maximize the recovery of the lost motion function. These therapies need assistance so that the constraints faced by the energy and time required is not small.

Blood Waterfall Appeared in Antarctica

Blood red waterfall flowing very slowly on Taylor Glacier in Antarctica at the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Geologists first discovered the waterfall was frozen in 1911.
Scientists think the red color comes from algae, but it turns out it's a natural occurrence which makes it even more spectacular.

For nearly 2 thousand years, the glaciers Taylor covered under water containing small amounts of ancient microbial communities. Trapped under a thick layer of ice, they were there since then, isolated in a natural time capsule. Existing cracks in the glacier causes subgletser lake flowed out, forming a stream without contaminating the surrounding ecosystem.

Independently evolved in a world of alienation, these microbes live in a world without light or oxygen, and heat is very minimal. The event is called the primordial low flow. The lake is trapped has a high salinity level and rich in iron, which gives the red color on these waterfalls.

The presence of blood flow ecosystems show that life is possible even in the most extreme conditions of earth though.

Thanks to life which was never seen eye directly, the phenomenon of blood flow in the Antarctic Ocean has become incredibly good visually as well as scientific

Military Aircraft Chasing UFOs in The UK

A very dramatic video, a duration of 30 seconds is published by a media show on Sunday that two British fighter jets were chasing a UFO.

A cameraman takes video plane is pursuing a shiny ball, and is believed to be taken from the West Midlands, British newspaper The Sun reported.

"But it does not usually test flying a secret project in the daytime. Or this could be the real thing, a UFO in British airspace, and military aircraft rushed to intercept, probably because it tracked on radar," said Nick Pope who examine UFO sightings for the defense ministry England.

British defense ministry refused to comment on the alleged apparitions, but will send a jet confirm if any air threat.

But a police officer from West Midlands said "We are not aware of any unidentified aircraft reports.

Sharp LCD Products Change Rules 3D

Developing 3D touch-screen LCD is very unique that does not need to use special glasses. Sharp's 3D TV sure would like a color TV to replace black-and-white TV.

This unique LCD suitable for use on mobile devices such as cameras, cell phones and smartphones. The 3D LCD newly developed separator system is to use parallax to display the 3D image.

That system has a series of vertical cracks are integrated into regular LCD monitor for street light that reaches the eyes right and left, thus creating the impression depth of the image.

3D LCD developed by Sharp is currently experiencing significant improvement in image quality to produce bright images and low crosstalk. This is caused by the use of CG-Silicon technology 3 and optimization of the separator parallax.

CG-Silicon technology able to close distance with a cable the LCD panel that makes much more light to enter. It also doubled the image brightness (500 cd/m2) compared with conventional models.

Sharp has also developed non-touch screen LCD 3D and started mass production in April 2010. Sharp hopes to replace the TV 3 television Dimension 2 Dimension, like color television replaced black and white television.

Solved The Origin Of Ants

Researchers found the fossil ants in the sap of 95 million years old. The finding was challenged earlier well-established theory, regarding the origin of ants.

Ants are found in Africa and challenged the conclusions of ants from North America or South Asia.

The findings were part of a wider study in the Proceedings of the National Academic Science that identified 28 fossils of insects, one fossil and one spider mite, including varieties of flora that are trapped in the sap in Ethiopia.

Who identified the oldest insect in Africa is from Crataceous. There are also some fungi, spores of ferns and previously unknown to paleontologists.

Until now, paleontologists assumed ants from North America or South Asia because they only found the fossils come from the region, as described by Alexander Schmidt, lead author and biologist at the University of Gottingen in Germany.

He and his colleagues believe that further analysis will be able to explain how the evolutionary process of ants and ant Ethiopians are biologically connected to the Cretaceous of the northern hemisphere.

The text is the culmination of five-year study by 20 researchers from seven countries, including specialists in estimating the date of discovery and experts outside of insects and flora.

"It is an interdisciplinary project and a full attention to producing holistic studies," said Schmidt.

Samples are currently stored in its original place in Berlin and Vienna, although some are still in the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

U.S. Ready to Test Space Shuttle Robot

U.S. Air Force plans to launch a robot spacecraft with wings, the X-37b, into orbit on April 19, later at the base of Cape Canaveral, Florida. U.S. Air Force spokesman Maj. Angie I. Blair's press conference did not mention the manned aircraft will perform a test mission navigation technology, control, thermal protection and autonomous operations in orbit and how the plane landed back to earth safely.

Angie, as quoted by the Associated Press, Sunday (4 / 4), did not specify the primary purpose of testing the vehicle's orbit so that some parties question the importance of the mission of U.S. Air Force this time. A defense analyst John Pike, a satirical U.S. technology development programs over the years. Director of Global Security said that for several years studying more than a dozen types of hypersonic aircraft, suborbital, and Scramjet program. However, the technology was studied only a few can comprehend.

This small spacecraft was built since 10 years ago and is a collaboration between NASA, the Pentagon and the Air Force. The program is estimated to have cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but the total cost until now has not been officially released.

Beautiful Robot Expression of Human

Professor Hiroshi Ishoguro create android (robot man) was a female. This robot is able to laugh and smile look exactly the same as human expression. By using motion sensor system, the robot is called Geminoid TMF can move his rubber face to imitate a smile, which expands and teeth with a grim expression on his brow furrowed.

Ishoguro, professor at Osaka University to develop this android with a team of researchers with a robot maker Kokoro. Geminoid TMF is a model of a young Japanese girl. "I feel like having a twin brother," said the woman whose face was made android. The developers also said they expect the robot will be used in real life situations, such as in hospitals.

"We have obtained data showing that the robot provides a psychological safety to patients by nodding his head and smiled at them, when the patient is checked by a doctor," said a spokesman for Kokoro, Satoko Inoue, Sunday, April 4.

A new technology always creates fear and negative opinions, but the researchers wanted to create a robot that can express things that are similar to human emotions. Geminoid TMF is equipped with 12 drivers, supported by air pressure and motion can be synchronized to mimic real human existence.

Ishiguro turned out to have designed some robots that are very similar to humans some time before, even making one that describes himself. He said that some day robots will be able to fool people by pretending that they are human.

Microsoft did not want to Create Office for the iPad

It seems that the world's largest software company, Microsoft has not wanted to participate late in the emergence iPad.
Microsoft officials said they did not make a version of Microsoft Office programs for the iPad.
"We never said to not be. But we do not currently have plans to develop Office software for Apple iPad," Stephenson Elop said, president of Microsoft Business Division, told BusinessWeek.

Microsoft claimed to have not provided software for MS Office because it was too early iPad. "Office for the iPad still do not have a current market share," said Woody Christian, spokesman for the unit of Microsoft, which had previously been made of version Office for the Apple Macintosh.

company headquartered in Redmond, Washington last year also plans to make versions of Office that can walk to work on your Nokia smartphone because millions of Office users already have a Nokia mobile phone.

In the near future, Microsoft is also going to launch the MS Office 2010 to businesses, namely on 12 May. While the consumer version will be released at the end of June this year.

On that occasion also, Microsoft will plan to introduce MS Word and MS Excel web-based, which can be accessed for free.
Office 2010 will get a warm welcome from consumer companies, considering the beta version of Office 2010 have been downloaded no less than six million times. The figure is two times higher than the Office 2007 beta downloads.

Perhaps this is also what makes Microsoft very confident and not too questioned the threat of Google's first to offer web-based productivity applications, namely Google Docs.

"We have not heard anything about Google's plans to challenge MS Office, because they did not," said Elop. According to Elop, Google did not provide a way to compete with Microsoft in the business software market.
