Origami, Super Luxury Yacht

An Italian designer Fabio Federici, recently revealed crazy idea to make a super yacht boats called Origami. He got the idea from the Japanese art of paper folding. The concept of a cruise ship is changing the playing style of paper folding machines for speed, thanks to innovations in the deck are multifunctional, and has folding wings.

When the state closed, compact and aerodynamic design allows the vessel to achieve optimal speed. But when docked, the form of luxury stretched to create a luxurious living room complete with four cabins below. There is also a spiral staircase to the two shaded hammocks on the roof.

In addition, the deck also provides a pool play and three-deck lounge that can rotate up to 360 degrees. So that the guests can enjoy the entire edge of the ocean view.

Fabio Federici innovative design concept was successfully won the Millennium Yacht Design Award. Federici said, the key is to create a yacht that is not conventional by combining speed and luxury.

He added, "I am inspired by the rigid forms of stealth aircraft. Then I got the idea from the main bridge conversion. Then I saw similarities with the origami models.

Nokia and Intel Create 3D Hologram on mobile phone

Slowly but surely, Intel and Nokia is currently preparing a new breakthrough in the mobile world.

Nokia, Intel, and the University of Oulu Finland muster 24 researchers for this project.

Both big companies are working with the University of Oulu Finland, had opened a joint laboratory facilities to prepare a technology that can bring experience of virtual reality into the phone.

Research will use the open source operating system platform MeeGoo, Intel and Nokia, launched last February. The main objective is to develop the interface of three dimensional (3D) and virtual reality displays on existing technology, and possible development of 3D holographic images for smart phones.

With this technology, the phone will be capable of transmitting 3D holographic image of the person who was talking on the phone, which has just happened in science fiction films.

"3D and virtual worlds great potential to revolutionize the way people use mobile phones," said Mike tune, Strategic Alliances and Partnerships Director, Nokia, told Computerworld site.

One of the initial applications to be developed, is a mobile virtual control panel to control light switch and heating at home.

According to Heikki Huomo, director of the Center for Internet Excellence, University of Oulu Finland, this paper is not intended to create a 3D experience that can only be enjoyed by the special glasses, because the phone screen will not meet the physical requirements that owned a large 3D screen.

Another possibility of this application, according Huomo, create social networks in a virtual world for mobile phones that use GPS and location information of users. "This will be the 'killer app' or at least is a success," said Heikki Huomo.

This research center will be supported by about two dozen researchers who will work at least for three years for this project brewing.

Director of Intel Lab Europe, Martin Curley said that the focus of this research is the development of open source software that will complement Intel's chips besutan.

According to Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates, a research center is an early opportunity for Nokia and Intel to develop an operating system MeeGo.

3D can become such an important requirement for a mobile device sized width, such as tablet computers, or at least smart phone.

Obesity in Children Starts caused problems in the United States

Obesity in children in the United States has started to worry threshold. A recent poll said, obesity is the biggest threat to children and adolescents, the highest on the misuse of drugs, smoking, internet security, and stress.

Obesity rates among children and adolescents in the United States soared in the last 30 years. A study in 2008 by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta showed that nearly one in five children aged six to 11 years and 18.1 percent of 12-19 year olds were obese.

More surprising, was the emergence of stress as a major health problem for children, allegedly due to "trickle down effect" as the impact of economic fragility. At this point, parents and children react to sensed changes.

"The economic conditions currently affecting the children, too," said Dr Matthew M Davis, director of the University of Michigan.

Although looked bleak, but David calls this finding positive. "The message about the dangers of obesity and the prevalence of disease among children has actually made it to the American public," said "If we had done this poll four years ago, obesity would not be at the top of the list," he said.

Now Whiskey Could Be Fuel Cars

Scientists from Edinburgh's Napier University, Scotland, said it has successfully developed a vegetable fuels (biofuels) of whiskey. This biofuel has successfully run a car.

Scientists use a pot of ale, the liquid residue from the copper and the rest of the wheat from the distillation of whiskey. From this residual material they can make butanol fuel.

"We are committed to finding innovative sources of renewable energy," said Professor Martin Tangney, Director of the Biofuel Research Centre at Napier University, August 19, 2010.

Martin says, this fuel can be used for an ordinary car without adjusting the machine. And unlike other biofuels, fuels made from waste products and no need special plant ingredients, such as castor seeds, corn, and palm oil.

This research project was to spend 260 thousand pounds sterling which is a grant from Scottish Enterprise. Now the University has filed patent applications for environmentally friendly fuels, and they plan to set up a company to market the fuel to various petrol pumps in the UK.

FujiFilm Launches World's First 3D Camera

Cameras three-dimensional (3D) world's first launched Tuesday, August 17, 2010 by one of the world's largest photography company, FujiFilm.

Camera shots that are named FinePix Real 3D W3 can be printed in the paper the three dimensions that can be affixed in the family photo album - or can be viewed directly from the facility that integrates with the camera display.

Special, not like the 3D movies in theaters, do not need special glasses to get the 3D effect.

FujiFilm camera takes two photos simultaneously from the same alias two separate lenses - the same distance with the two human eyes.

Using technology 'lenticular' - the look right and left eyes separately woven in a crinkled surface to create the illusion steoroskopik.

This method has been used since the 1940s in the sticker, for example, which displays a simple two-frame animation - like blinking.

This old technology is now used in products 3D console games and posters.

This new camera is equipped with a video camera high-definition 3D, which allows users to watch the shot in 3D television.

FinePix Real 3D Camera W3 will be on sale from September with a price around 400 pounds.

Meanwhile, for the printing service will soon be launched soon after the launch of the camera.

Healthy Life-style Japanese Women

Japan has made great strides in treatment of various diseases, such as cancer, stroke, and heart, but their longevity are mostly connected with diet, obesity is low, and the ability to control stress. During the 25th consecutive year the Japanese women's life expectancy is highest in the world, precisely at the age of 86. Following a healthy lifestyle Japanese women that we can steal his knowledge, as quoted from Self magazine:

Consuming seaweed
Actually is a multivitamin, which Containing potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron Zar, iodine, vitamin C, fiber and beta-carotene, and others. Their diet consists mainly of foods derived from plants such as fruits, vegetables, and soy.

Eat fish
Japanese people like tuna, mackerel and salmon, contain omega-3 fatty acids high level. Research has shown omega-3 can reduce the risk of heart disease and breast cancer.

Drinking green tea
Based on recent research, those who consumed six cups of tea per day had a 36 percent risk of heart disease were lower than those who drank less than that. Green tea is full of antioxidants, which reduce the effect on bone cancer which resulted in osteoporosis.

Eat more slowly
Japanese people are taught to enjoy every bite of their food (eat using chopsticks also help slow speed). The reason for eating more slowly is the key because the brain takes over 20 minutes to feel full. So, if you utilize your time, you may eat until you are satisfied rather than to the full.

Use a small plate
When you use a small plate or bowl instead of using a large plate, you are more easy to control your eating.

Zen
Try the Japanese physical exercise (such as martial arts) and mental fitness. Activities such as yoga and meditation has been proven to not only reduce stress, but also ward off dementia and keep the brain areas associated with concentration and memory.

Solar Tsunami

Tuesday and Wednesday this sky watchers at high latitudes can watch spectacular scenery, the northern lights, aurora borealis.
That is a sign that the sun had risen from bed length.

The explosion on the surface of the Sun, 'Solar tsunamis', Sunday, August 1st and then ejects the tons of plasma into space. These atoms leads to Earth and potentially create an amazing light show.

"The explosion led to the Earth and is expected to arrive at August 4, 2010," said Leon Golub of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, such as Space page is loaded.

"This is the first explosion that led to Earth in a few years,"
Huge explosions on the surface of the sun or coronal mass ejection observed by aircraft belonging to U.S. Space Agency, NASA, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which was launched last February.

This satellite image clearly photographed the sun periodically and unravel the mystery of the sun activity that someday could have negatively impacted the Earth.

Scenery aurora is always associated with certain locations, Alaska and Canada. However, this time, sky watchers in the northern U.S. will be able to see the green light to form curtain on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
