Fingerprints That are Never The Same on Every Person

noreply@blogger.com (insane zone) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 12:35:00 +0000

when I listen to my teacher explained, the teacher interrupted the conversation I said that human fingerprints did not exist the same. then I am curious. curiosity is peaked when my desires of knowledge why fingerprints were not there the same or different people?

FINGERPRINT a personal identity that can not be anyone in this world live match.when 6 billion people, then there are 6 billion of existing fingerprint pattern and have not found someone who has the same fingerprint with the other.

Because of its uniqueness, the fingerprint is used delam various systems such as the police in investigating a criminal case (forensic) in the event of a crime, and where the case will clear-up events and is prohibited for anyone to enter because of fear it would ruin a possible criminal fingerprint left on the existing evidence at the scene. Or use many of the other fingerprint technology used for the manufacture of driver's license, ID card, passport, attendance, access control, detection talents of children and much more.

The properties or characteristics possessed by a fingerprint is perennial nature of strokes on the fingerprint embedded in human life, immutability, which means that someone fingerprints will never change unless a condition of serious accidents, which changed the fingerprint pattern existing finger and individuality, which means unique fingerprint is originality owners who could not be the same as anyone on this earth even in an identical twin.

The study of fingerprints is dactylos copy derived from the Greek meaning dactylos fingers or the fingers and scopein which means observing. Fingerprints are genetic structure in a very detailed order form and sign attached to the man that can not be deleted or changed. Fingerprints are like bar codes that indicate the human self is not the same person.

Fingerprint research has been done since the past. This research evolved into a discipline called dermatoglysphics, namely the study of patterns of skin wrinkles (fingerprints) on the palms, hands and feet. Dermatoglysphics derived from the word "derm" meaning skin and "glyphs" means criterion. Attraction scientists do research on fingerprint patterns caused by the human fingerprint is unique in having the following characteristics. From this research it has some primacy fingerprint that can be summed up as follows:

First, bersiafat fingerprint specific to each person. There is no similar fingerprint patterns between one individual and another individual, even in identical twins. The possibility of the same fingerprint pattern is 1:64.000.000.000, so certainly almost impossible to find the same fingerprint pattern between two people. Fingerprint patterns in each person's hand will also vary. Fingerprint pattern on the thumb will vary with the fingerprint pattern on the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger.

Secondly, fingerprints have the quality permanent, never changing throughout life. From birth, adult, until the end of life, the fingerprint pattern a certain person fixed. This is different to other members of the ever-changing body. As example, facial features that change with age. fingerprint pattern will not change. For example, the form face which change with age. Fingerprint pattern will not change even if someone in the fat or thin, healthy or sick, and in any form any emotional condition.

Thirdly, the fingerprint pattern is relatively easy to be clarified. Although fingerprints are specific, form is not random. In the prints, there are patterns that can be clarified so that for various purposes, such as measurement, easy to do. Based on the structure that's unique fingerprint and fingerprints can be classified.

From these results present a lot of cutting-edge technologies to use the results of fingerprint identification. From simple applications to very large systems-oriented course on Securities or security. Such systems in develop by companies in the field of biometrics with Fingerspot brand that started to develop from Attendance, Access Control, Retail Applications, Payment System even combined with other biometric technologies such as Face. That's a little secret why fingerprints become a subject of technological development and also why we peel down fingerprints.

Google vs Bing vs Yahoo : Establish his Kingdom Each Search Engine

noreply@blogger.com (insane zone) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 07:45:00 +0000

In the arena of world-class search, can Bing bring the hurt to Google and Yahoo? Microsoft's newest search engine comes packed with search tools such as an Explorer Pane for refining searches, Quick Previews for sneaking a peek at a site before visiting it, and Sentiment Extraction for making sense of product reviews.

Google and Yahoo, meanwhile, are no chumps. Google has outwitted its competitors by delivering solid search results and cool tools such as Street Views. Yahoo has done a masterful job of integrating search results with its rich network of Yahoo content.

Microsoft conducted a research study where they found search engine branding had an impact on the perceived quality of results. Now, months later, Bing is launched and people are once again ranking the quality of search results. At first, there were direct side-by-side comparisons, but of course there’s no better challenge than a double-blind experiment.

Michael Kordahi, which I feel compelled to disclose is a Microsoft employee, has set up such an experiment, dubbed “BlindSearch” which you can try here. On the site, you enter a single search query which results three sets of unbranded results. After viewing the results, you are given an option to vote on one set of results, which then reveals the provider and adds it to the tally.

At the time of writing, Google is in the lead with the tally standing at “Google: 40%, Bing: 31%, Yahoo: 29%” out of 355 votes.

Update: Approximately half an hour after posting, Bing takes a slight lead over Google. (Google: 36%, Bing: 38%, Yahoo: 26% | 641 votes)

Update 2: A thousand votes later, Google and Bing are tied. (Google: 39%, Bing: 39%, Yahoo: 22% | 1757 votes)

Update 3: Three’s the magic number, for Google. (Google: 40%, Bing: 37%, Yahoo: 23% | 2554 votes)

Update 4: Google is taking a stronger lead with another thousand votes. (Google: 43%, Bing: 32%, Yahoo: 25% | 3520 votes)

Update 5: It appears the application has exceed Yahoo API’s daily limit. Michael is aware of the problem and looking for a workaround. Yahoo results has since been fixed.

update 6: Some people’s attempt at gaming the system has forced the tallies to be now removed.

Google vs Yahoo : Two Giants Both Search Engines

noreply@blogger.com (insane zone) — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 10:37:00 +0000

May be present in the Internet era. Many people who use search engines to facilitatehis quest via the Internet.Who does not know at the time of the all google this googling. But did you know the history of google? Not unexpectedly - google would have thought that now is the site shall be opened and as a place to search for a better than even teachers and lecturers are made of 2 children university students at Stanford, California. Larry Page and Sergey Bin, is 2 students.

Google started as a research project in January 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students. D. at Stanford University, California. They hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better results than existing techniques, which ranked results according to the number of the search term appeared on a page. Their search engine called "BackRub" because the link back to the system to estimate the importance of a site.A small search engine called Rankdex have used the same strategy. It is believed that the pages with more links from relevant web pages are most relevant pages associated with the search, Page and Brin tested their thesis as part of their studies, and establish the foundation for their search engine. Originally, the search engine used the Stanford University website with the domain google.stanford.edu. The domain google.com was registered on 15 September 1997, and the company was incorporated as Google Inc.. September 7, 1998 at a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California. Total initial investment raised for the new company valued at nearly $ 1.1 million, including a check for $ 100,000 from Andy Bechtolsheim, a cofounder of Sun Microsystems.

In March 1998, the company moved into offices in Palo Alto, home to several technology companies in Silicon Valley. After outgrowing two other sites, the company leased a complex of buildings at 1600 Ampitheatre Parkway, Mountain View from Silicon Graphics (SGI) in 2003. Google has settled at the site until today, and the complex has since become known as the Googleplex (a play on the word googolplex, the number 1 followed by one hundred zeros). In 2006, Google bought the property from SGI for $ 319 million.

Sangay spectacular discoveries is not it? Now both the student became president of google inc and stay reap many benefits from his invention.

Google is different with Yahoo. Especially in terms of their conduct and their speed surf indexed billions of web pages.

Some people equate Google with MAN and Yahoo with Women. Apparently not wrong if it's such an analogy is made. Why?

Some differences in the context of Yahoo Vs Google indexing and ranking, the following

1. Google indexed more quickly in comparison to Yahoo. Only daily count your web pages will already be indexed (must meet Google's requirements of course)

2. To indexed in Yahoo takes 2-3 weeks.

3. Google's REFRESH or more often referred to as "Google Dancing". This means that to maintain

the position of a website at the top, you should make more effort to maintain it.

4. Move order on Google more often than at Yahoo

5. Google does not pay attention to meta keywords, but Yahoo still see meta keywords.

6. Maintaining order in Yahoo more easily than on Google.

7. Google is using the word algorithm sensitivedibandingkan Yahoo, for example if you type for the phrase "mug souvenirs"; "mug sufenir"; "souvenir mug"; "mug sofenir", then the search results did not change.

8. Yahoo support other meta tags that Google is ignoring

9. Yahoo is Google does not support frames

10. Google concerned with the popularity of a domain, while Yahoo is not too

11. Google care about the quality of incoming links, while Yahoo is not too

How To Make People Fall in Love with You

noreply@blogger.com (insane zone) — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 09:23:00 +0000

WANT to know how to make people fall in love with you? There is a separate tactics to make people fall in love with you. No need to use pellets or shaman, who is pure technique and guaranteed kosher.

There are some easy ways that you can use to make people fall in love with you. Perhaps you would not believe because of this trick is very simple and extraordinarily effective to win the hearts of your idol.

Some people who read this and think that what this suggested was wrong. It does seem a little bit manipulating people and playing other people's feelings, especially with people you've always dreamed and prayed to God to get him. Ideally it be great if he fell in love with itself to you. Unfortunately, in real life is not always so ...

Sometimes you spend six months, the road together, live together, to struggle together, to love and even sometimes there are also those that involve physical relationship together but to no avail. Techniques that will be written it will feel like a blessing, and besides it's not black magic or force people to fall in love with you without their will. This is a technique to make them fall in love, according to the will of you and he ...

First of all, often hanging out with him ... but then keep the distance. The more you interact with someone, they will increasingly like you. At least that is what a human behavior expert from the United David Lieberman. He was right. In some studies suggest that repeated exposure causes the stimulus to make us more like someone, but indeed from the beginning of the meeting that there is a negative reaction. So forget about the action to avoid, difficult to find, and there is no place at the beginning of the relationship. Instead try to find any excuse to be around.

Now pay attention, because this is a bit tricky part. When you believe you've won their hearts and they begin to like you, start a little less visible. It may seem very rare. Currently you are applying the "law of scarcity." You know, people want what they can not get, and there is a constant with you will lose the value of how important you are. Same thing when you're out the door and then was a pile of diamonds that you often see, and you often Skip, you will feel it was not berhargakan? The law of scarcity to make you more desirable to them. Be Around and around and then not they will like and want you.

Then do not do nice things for them, let those who do nice things for you. When you do something nice for them, do you feel good on two levels. First to feel satisfied with yourself and feel more `hot` to the people you treat. In order for us to feel right, we usually idolized, how kind he so deserves it. The final result, we like that person better. When someone does sweet things for us, we will feel satisfied. But it is to use your emotions too much, and not all good.Sometimes we feel very happy, but a lot of pressure from the gifts given are, to be a `good` as expected both in thought and in action, especially the pressure to reply to all who have been given previously. So understand, exactly what someone gave it a burden. Better to let him spoil you deh!

Frequently he looked ... he looked deep into ... According to a Harvard psychologist, Zick Rubin, the man who really fell in love with one another, 75 percent of the time talking to each other, very slow look the other way when there is people who `disturbing` them. In normal conversation, people look at each other between 30-60 percent each time.It's easy to see who `love` from their perspective and how long he looked at the person. So look closely at who you like, about 75 percent of your time, you start toying with their brains. The brain will know when there are people who see you as often and as long as it, or feel that they fell in love with you. So you feel okay when started releasing PEA (phenylethylamine), amphetamine that is in humans. Amphetamine is in your nervous system when they begin to fall in love. PEA was the one who makes us sweaty hands, triggering a `chemistry 'in our body when he's with us, so try caused it to him!

That is some way to make people fall in love with you without using pellets. How do you want to try?

10 Wonderful Tips for Eco-Living

noreply@blogger.com (insane zone) — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 13:22:00 +0000

These days, the word “recession” screams through every information source imaginable. Though the economy is set to decline for perhaps this and next year, many are looking for ways to save by cutting back on life’s little “un-necessities”. We need look no farther than our homes.

One of the best ways to lead a more sustainable lifestyle – both monetarily and for Mother Earth – is to Go Green. And there’s no better time than to start than now. Here are some tips on how:

1. Use Public Transportation

Quite a few Singapore households own cars but if you consider peak hour traffic, congested and expensive parking spots, COEs, high price tag of car-buying, multiple ERP charges, annual maintenance, road tax, traffic fines and rising petrol costs, then owning a car feels less like a luxury and more like a burden. The alternative is easy. Walk and use transportation whether it be buses, trains, other forms of public transportation. After all, God gave us legs, not a set of tires. However, if driving is still imperative, we would suggest organizing a carpool system with colleagues or parents to minimize the impact on the environment.

2. Buy Used

There are numerous parenting forums, message bulletins and websites that showcase excellent ways to trade or buy goods at significantly lower prices. Buying second-hand items can reduce our carbon footprint as there is no supply chain. Collectively, these small contributions can make a huge difference.

Similarly, have you ever been awakened by the yells and honking of ‘karung guni’ man? This wonderful scavenger is on a mission to collect furnishings, papers, and other unwanted goods which would have been otherwise, left on the street or in some other dumping ground. If you would rather try to make a little money from your unwanted goods, a garage sale is the answer. It’s a fun and easy way to get the whole neighbourhood involved while getting rid of unwanted clutter. Just make sure that you don’t end up exchanging clutter.

3. Go Back To Basics

Diapers prices are literally at skyrocketing. It makes you wonder how a simple piece of disposable plastic can fetch such prices? During our mom and grandmother’s time, the cloth-diaper was the mainstay and eco-friendly as they were simply washed after usage. Why not return to cloth diapers or even wet wipes, as my mom loves to do? While we’re at it, let’s replace paper towels with dish towels. All of these “old-fashioned” methods have helped families get during lean times in the past. During these times when our lifestyle is becoming increasingly disposable, we should look to the past for eco-friendly solutions.

4. Squeeze Till The Last Drop

Parents can and should play an important role in teaching our children the value of conservation. Common household items like toothpaste, shower soap and shampoo can be used sparingly. After all, a small squirt goes a long way. Both shower soap and shampoo can be diluted to last longer. Such products contain sodium laureth sulphate, a harsh foaming agent; thus a little dilution won’t affect its efficacy. Even though kids love bubble baths, baths use up a lot of water! Save such luxuries for special occasions. Educate our children and they will grow up to respect the environment.

5. Use Homemade Cleaners

Baking soda and vinegar are effective cleansing tools we can put to good use at home. You can also try lemon juice to get rid of tough grease marks. If you have a garden, use coffee or tea grounds as a fertiliser. The smell is far more pleasant than normal fertiliser and can help reduce your overall trash output.

6. Go Veggie

As inflation rises so does the cost of groceries, especially meat. The livestock industry and meat processing has proven to be a major contributor to environmental waste. Instead of a steady meat diet, why not try bean curd, beans and nuts as protein alternatives? Though it may prove difficult at first, we can teach our children at an early age the importance of a well-balanced diet.

7. No Bulk Portions

For larger families, there is a tendency to cook in bulk and often times we do so excessively. In order to conserve food, eat less and save leftovers for subsequent meals. Furthermore, home-cooked meals have significantly less salt, oil and saturated fat.

8. Visit Local Attractions

Some of the best travel destinations are in our backyard. Teach our children the pleasures of local attractions. In Singapore, the zoo and Night Safari, Bird Park, Botanic Gardens, museums, beaches and parks are popular destinations. Explore new haunts like the Hort Park and Marina Barrage for family picnics. Jet-setting to a faraway destination may be fun and luxurious, but it is the quality time spent with family that creates memorable experiences and leaves a minimal carbon footprint.

9. Stop Impulse Buying

In many households, Spring Cleaning is an annual ritual to rid ourselves of excess, unwanted clutter. It’s human nature to impulsively buy and collect items in the moment. While we would dream of depriving others of that primal satisfaction, we would encourage you to, perhaps, stop and think before buying. Do you really need that 7-minute ab-flexer or triangle sandwich press? Live simply. For every time you get the urge to buy something senseless, put that money into a jar. Spend it on something you really need at the end of the year. We promise you’ll be the happier for it.

10. Tell us what you would recommend for our last tip. (contributed by Ayesha Kohli)

Get creative with toys. Instead of buying yet another toy made of cheap plastic or expensive wood, look around at what is at home. Old cardboard boxes, paint, twine, coloured paper, empty jam bottles, bottle caps of all sizes. Paint, wrap, embellish and create a whole army of toy characters. Keeps the kids busy and creative and makes recycling a whole lot of fun!

History of AQUA in Indonesia

noreply@blogger.com (insane zone) — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 12:24:00 +0000

Aqua is a brand of bottled drinking water (drinking water) produced by Aqua Golden Mississippi in Indonesia since 1973. Besides Indonesia, Aqua is also sold in Singapore. Aqua is a brand of drinking water with the largest sales in Indonesia and is one of the most famous brand of drinking water in Indonesia, which has become like a generic brand for drinking water. In Indonesia, there are 14 factories that produce Aqua.

Since 1998, Aqua has also owned by multinational companies from France, Danone, the result of the merger with Danone Aqua Golden Mississippi.

AQUA founded by Tirto Utomo, a native of Wonosobo that after leaving work from Pertamina to establish the business of bottled drinking water (drinking water).

Tirto made a large contribution for the development of a business or businesses in Indonesia, drinking water, because as a Pioneer, the deceased managed to instill the values and views of drinking water business in Indonesia.

EMERGENCE OF DRINKING WATER INTRUSION REFILL

AQUA's market share was disturbed by the emergence of the phenomenon of drinking water refill. How Aqua solve the problem is quite complicated?

Drinking Water Recharging (AMIU) began to grow in 1998. In Uncle Sam's country, AMIU called Water Refill Station. Operation is automatic and usually placed in front of a supermarket. The shape is a kind of glass cupboard in which to put gallon size bottles of 5 liters or 19 liters. After the coin is inserted then the water will replenish itself. Generally water processed products in the form of a reverse osmosis (RO) or similar to distilled water containing no minerals. However, currently available in the market has AMIU which produces mineral water.

In Indonesia Slamet AMIU pioneered Utomo. He really is one of the founders of AQUA. However, when Danone about to go Slamet Utomo decided to establish drinking water refill under the flag of PT Tirta Sembada Slamet. Agura trademark. The name was probably taken from the Agora name because she had lived in California, the U.S. long enough.

Actually depot refill at that time was not very developed. Some of the players belonging to other major AMIU is Amira, Vinaqua and AG21. Amira pioneered Budi Darmawan former employee of PT Astra International, along with two colleagues Gunawan and Faisal.

At first appearance AMIU very tempting. Who is not tempted by the offer price refill drinking water is very cheap compared to drinking water? Packaging 5 gallon size bottles only sold at Rp 2,500 - Rp 3,000 while AMDK cost Rp 5,000 to Rp 9,000. If consumers believe the quality is there's no doubt use refill drinking water as drinking water.

A switch to AMIU consumers admitted because the price is very affordable. "Get it too easy. Live phone into the depot ordered AMIU get home, "he revealed. However, so far he has not use it as drinking water but to cook.

Ability AMIU into settlements through depot-depotnya --- among others --- is developed with the franchise system is growing rapidly, no doubt, make the players in the business AMDK feel uneasy. Water Depot Indonesian Employers Association (ASPADIN) based in the East Java recorded growth AMIU extraordinary depot in 2002 and 2003.

In a meeting with ASPADIN July 3, 2002 at Hotel Borobudur, Jakarta in question the players market penetration AMIU AMDK not fast enough but the lack of clear rules of the game. Willy Sidharta ASPADIN as Chairman noted that the depot AMIU uncontrolled and without supervision and arbitrarily violate business ethics very disturbing AMDK industry.

Attendance AMIU actually normal and usual business phenomenon, as happened in the U.S., Philippines, Turkey and other countries. The problem, in Indonesia there are no regulations concerning the existence depot refill so there is no clear oversight and control. Attendance depot refill lead to unfair competition. Therefore, the players engaged in drinking water industry have an obligation to meet the standards with segalan impact on cost. Meanwhile, on the other hand, depot refill reap big profits without any obligation to meet the requirements and regulations, including a guarantee of safety and health of consumers.

Price AMIU very skewed indeed be serious for players menjadia ncaman AMDK. However, according to Slamet Utomo Agura under the brand manager of PT Tirta Sembada Slamet, can AMIU cheap price because it does not require the cost of packaging, distribution and handling, as do companies AMDK. Production costs AMIU every 5-gallon bottles of Rp 1,000. If the sale means a profit of Rp 2,500 to Rp 1,500 per 5-gallon containers.

Distributing depot refill drinking water through two ways: buying off and franchise system. Big players generally choose a franchise that can grow faster. Some players are quite large AMIU include Agura, Amira, Vinaqua and AG12. In 2002 Agura mammpu sell 3000 gallons per day, Amira 2500, AG21 Vinaqua 2000 and 1500. Total all industries in 2002 AMIU able to sell 15,000 bottles an average size of 5 gallons per day. Agura over 17%, followed by Amira (15%), AG21 (11%) and Vinaqua (6%).

Agura as AMIU pioneer since 1998 until 2002 now has 20 depots. To develop the market this company chose to cooperate with the other. How, investors provide a place and design costs while providing Agura supplied equipment. Required capital of about USD 60 million with a record of investors get 40% of sales each month. While Vinaqua set pewaraba must pay a franchise fee of USD 80 million to PT Hamaro, Vinaqua manager. Now in many newspapers that menawakan packet processing engine refill drinking water at a price of Rp 36 million is even cheaper again.

Since 1998 the Aqua as drinking water already was AMIU depot was in attendance. It was already submitted to the Ministry of Industry, but have not received a satisfactory response.

Gerahnya ASPADIN against fair MIU depot. Willy as Chairman ASPADIN explains, in 2003, they projected the company's sales growth reached 20% drinking water. It was based on the fact that 2001-2002 growth reached 25% -30%. However, earlier projections were not realized because the first three months of 2003 the company's sales growth AMDK scored nil. In fact, some of which is minus.

Willy reveals AMIU depot growth was remarkable. In 2003, the number of depots AMIU reached 3 thousand whereas in 2002 only 700 depots. Special Jabotabek until April 2003 has reached the depot in 1700. It was in Bandung and Surabaya, nearly 25% 5-gallon bottles are not returned to entrepreneur ASPADIN because then refill the depot AMIU.

Why all of a sudden in 2003 AMIU depot explodes?

According to Willy Sidharta it happened because AQUA made a mistake in pricing. At that time the price increased by 5% but 3 months later the price is raised again with the assumption that the brand AQUA strong enough to support the increase in price. It is quite strong. As long as reason enough kuta price increase for consumers so consumers can receive. Then, up 5% more to generate debate on management that AQUA arbitrarily in raising prices. "The increase in price causes consumers to be disappointed because there are no triggers are suddenly rising prices," he revealed.

If the first one because there are consumers understand the fuel price hike. Actually the first time if you want to increase 10% starch was okay. But because AQUA rose two times it makes consumers angry and disappointed, feeling cheated, feeling AQUA arbitrary so much that they eventually moved to the depot refilling. Decision of the second price increase, many who disagree, especially from the salesman who was the field most know how to handle the consumer. How the voice of consumers and how consumers' perception that they actually balked. So although no decision was taken unanimously at last carried out as well. As a result, triggering the exodus of customers from Danone AQUA to refill.

The momentum was put to good use by refilling depots that sell 5-gallon bottled water between Rp 2,500 to Rp 3,000 compared to AQUA which USD 8000-USD 9000. In 2003 there enhancer depot refill amount to more than 4000 units.

PR Campaign

Year 2004 AQUA campaigning and lobbying with the government that issued the regulations that can regulate charging and AMDK depot. But it is not effective anyway. Effective is the campaign of ASPADIN at that time. Do not fill bottles in place AQUA refill. Actually at that time they had been a plain bottle mermakai but after cooling down they wear a bottle of AQUA again.

In 2004 had a balance and a clear segmentation. So consumers have a segment of their own drinking water and refill depot had its own market segment.

After reaping strong growth in 2003 with a charge of up to 30% market share in segments of 5-gallon bottles at the end of 2004 the number shrank 24% living alone. Then in 2005 the number of products refill drinking water that can be sold by vendors increasingly shrinking again. The lure of cheap prices compared to bottled drinking water (drinking water) as well as proximity to settlements and housing complexes, including free delivery facility was not able to be used as a powerful stance drew more buyers.

Of the total production of drinking water as much as 9 billion liters in 2004 refill drinking water which is sold at Rp 2,500 to Rp 3,000 per 5 gallons can only contribute 1.4 billion liters. As a result, a number of depots or refill drinking water outlets were closed.

According to Willy Sidhartha, the decline in demand for drinking water recharge due to consumers switching back to buy drinking water quality drinking water is more secure and always in a state sealed. "After the experience themselves, many consumers refill drinking water that moved into the drinking water," he said.

The tendency of consumers return to drinking water is certainly very exciting for drinking water producers because the business would be overflowing again. AQUA business in 2003 when drinking water refill its moment of glory grew just 2%. "Even for a 5-gallon containers minus 4 percent growth," said Willy Sidharta.

Since December 2004 accepted the Decree of the Minister of Industry and Trade No. 651/MPP/Kep/10/2004 on the Technical Requirements of Water Supply and trading depots. Appropriate Minister that the business depot drinking water set by the requirement that more clear. Among them are required to have the sign industry list (TDI) and sign a list of trading business with an investment company USD 200 million (excluding land and building). In addition, employers depot refill water must have a letter of guarantee supply of raw water --- water that has not been processed or already processed into drinking water from taps or company --- who have permission to take water from the relevant authorities.

With rules like that then not everyone can open a business refill drinking water with little cost again

Meanwhile, besides AMIU future drinking water industry should also be alert to the threat of Pou (Point of Use Filters). Named so because people put the filter in the kitchen sink and faucet just stay open. In the market Pou already available in shared brands include Yamaha, Sharp and Lux.

Other Issues

After that, the question arises, is it true that plastic used in packaging AQUA gallon harmful to the body?

Not true. Plastic used for gallon AQUA has carefully and thoroughly tested and has been declared safe as a place to drink and do not endanger even be used repeatedly. Plastics are used type of polycarbonate, which indeed has long been used for packaging foods and beverages because of hygienic and protect food and beverages from contamination. Plastic has also been shown to have excellent quality in protecting food and beverages from bacteria, and this is very important in maintaining public health. Polycarbonate is also widely used in food and medical equipment, such as blood oksigenator used to purify the blood and blood vessel disorders. Because its use is very flexible, of course polycarbonate has gone through various kinds of security testing a broad and deep, for example by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, or the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).

In January 2007, after a review by a panel of experts about all the scientific data during the last 5 years, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) declared that bisphenol A contained in polycarbonate plastics contain no risk to human health at levels found in consumer products. EFSA invention has also been confirmed by independent expert panels in both the United States and Japan. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (The Food of Australia and New Zealand) also has expressed his consent with the EFSA findings. Thus, has been declared safe polycarbonate plastic used for packaging food products by food regulatory agencies in various countries around the world.

EFSA also has determined that 'the maximum daily safe limit' (tolerable Daily Intake or TDI) for BPA was 50 micrograms / kg body weight per day, and this represents the safety limit for exposure to bisphenol A during the human life. This means if the person has been exposed to levels of bisphenol A that is still below the limit then there will be no negative effects resulting from exposure even if the person's lifetime, because the body will not be affected.

EFSA estimates regarding the potential for an adult exposed to bisphenol A is 1.5 g / kg body weight / day based on the rate of migration of BPA and the estimated consumption of food and beverage packaging. This figure represents less than 30% of the above-mentioned safe limits.

TDI is the same as U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's which refers to the dose for humans would bisphenol A which is 50 micrograms / kg body weight / day, and it is the dose that had no impact on health throughout life continuously.

Specifically, the EFSA has issued a statement in the Journal of the American Medical Association relating to the results of his research. In the statement, EFSA stated that their study found no evidence of an association between BPA with heart disease and type 2 diabetes and cardiac enzyme abnormalities.

This was submitted on the official website Aqua to dismiss all issues that gallon of Aqua-prone and vulnerable to hazardous polluting the water content of the mineral. However, it does not mean gallons of Aqua safe to use in the long term. With the consumer who does not return to the Aqua Aqua gallon and refill the depots AMIU, in fact it could be harmful to consumers because of gallons of Aqua is always cleaned and updated to perfection in Aqua mill, but SOPs for cleaning gallon does not run perfectly at the depot AMIU .

Through explanation, Aqua appealed to consumers to not refill gallon Aqua elsewhere, but return it to Aqua. Thus, the campaign so that consumers do not use gallons of Aqua to be recharged to a positive effect on sales because consumers realize that the Aqua is the "original" is much better than refills.

Positive and Negative Aspects

Besides known as the pioneer industry of bottled drinking water (drinking water), Aqua established since February 23, 1973 is also recognized as an innovative producer. When people are not familiar with mineral water and need it, Aqua is present.

Aqua One key to success is because this company continues to make relentless innovation. The most notable innovation that Aqua is often done in terms of packaging. Because no specific packaging, water only generic products only.

Aqua as a market leader in mineral water products in Indonesia is very influential on the entire industry in the same field. Aqua stakeholders, both internal and external, also greatly affects the sustainability of the water bottling industry is. So, if there are issues concerning the Aqua, other companies will also be affected.

AMIU is a big threat that appears for Aqua because with the AMIU, they take even more market share. Here it can be concluded that Aqua and AMIU a head to head competitors which affect each other. With the advent AMIU, Aqua immediately take reactive action to deal with this crisis.

Tactics

In the short term implementation with a special purpose (tactics), PR campaign can be done through several logical steps, namely:

SWOT Analysis

The program begins the campaign with a SWOT analysis by identifying the elements of strength (Strength), weakness (Weakness), opportunity (Opportunity) and threat (Threat). It can also do a PEST analysis (PEST analysis).

1. Strength

Aqua is the market leader that already has many loyal customers.

2. Weakness

Aqua could not compete on the same segment with AMIU because it has a selling price much higher due to the cost of production which is also very high compared with AMIU.

3. Opportunity

Aqua sehigienis AMIU not in terms of the production process, Aqua is more secure than AMIU safety and quality, so consumers there is no doubt about health when choosing Aqua.

4. Threat

The threat came Pou (Point of Use Filter), which make it easier for consumers to get clean water ready for drinking.

Goal

Aqua wanted to stop the domination AMIU and do not want their customers who have not fled to AMIU guaranteed quality. Aqua will hold the government to regulate AMIU-AMIU have mushroomed and operate without any rules that are binding, so the existence of AMIU can be tightened.

Target Audience

James Grunig (1992) states there are three forms of the target audience, namely:

1. Hidden audience that is difficult to known existence (latent publics)

Consumers who do not know about the dangers of consuming drinking water that does not have good production quality, so it is attracted to the cheapness AMIU.

2. Audience that cares and easily recognizable existence (aware publics)

Consumers from Aqua who are already loyal and know that the quality of the Aqua is not to argue about and irreplaceable with AMIU.

3. Active audience relate to the problems faced by the company (active publics)

Consumers who defend companies that helped the campaign to educate consumers Aqua with others that cheap is not necessarily quality.

Conclusion

Origin of Football Football, the most popular game in the world today according to script a poet named Li Ju saved Ethnological Museum in Munich, Germany.

Said to have originated from the Roman Empire, Greece, Japan and ancient Chinese. The Romans

Harpastum and call it in Greece called Episciro. But because the regulations created in English football, especially through schools such as Eton, Oxford, Harow Cheltenham and the other, then the world agreed to refer to Britain as the country of origin football. Some rules that were created in England, among others: Harrow set high ruler 150 yards, Eton set offside rule, and Cheltenham is the first team introduce free from the sidelines.

Speaking of history, modern football sport born in the mid 19th century in the UK. However, FIFA (Federation of International Football Association) in year 2004 has been officially acknowledged that once the earliest football comes from China, Cu was then called the Ju (read: Ju Cu). The oldest soccer game, can be traced back to more than 2400 years ago during the Chun Qiu Zhan Guo (spring-fall state country at war) and have passed one after the turn of the dynasty and in the long term not subsided. Even more important is, the ancient Chinese were very early for this kind sports football has confirmed the spirit of sportsmanship and ethical standards are strict. Cu Ju is the earliest football events recorded in the history of notation. According to records Tactic country at war, at the time of Chun Qiu (Spring and autumn, between the year 722 s / d 481 BC) capital of the state of Qi: Lin Zi, Cu Ju already popular. Cu Ju at that time also called "?? / Ta Ju, read: Da cu". Cu and Ta, are both means kicking, Ju meaningful: the ball. Appropriate Book of Tai Ping Qing Hua, Han dynasty ball on "Made of leather as the outer material and wrap the material it contains hair. "

Liu Xiang of Han dynasty (206 BC until 220 AD) noted in his book: Other notes that: "Players Cu Ju / football, supposedly invented by Huang Di (emperor Yellow). Mentioned start time of Zhan Guo (State warring), Ta Ju identical with fighting spirit of soldiers. Therefore galvanize soldiers known that enabled it. Besides like the game also stated practice ". Tai Ping Qing Hua besides also noted: "Ta Ju started on post-Xuan (emperor Huang Di). The game of art practice martial in the military headquarters. "From there it can be known that the activity-bolaan persepak in Han era when other than a kind of sport and entertainment, also is a kind of physical training and soldier mental and physical endurance as well as the selection of military training that support the spirit war.

The people named Li You from the Han Dynasty once wrote about the Ju Cheng Sun (Charter of the ball), has recorded a football field equipment during the Han dynasty and summary of the activities of the match, even explaining about the ethical requirements should be owned by the referee and players. The charter reflects that style of football sports since the time of the Han Chinese have made a fairly complete system, as expressed as follows: In the charter mentioned Ju (the ball) and Ju Chang (soccer field), defined by the ball and soccer field symbolizes heaven and earth, yin and yang. The provision making the ball door, ie on both ends of each door installed 6 units ball-shaped hole model Moon called the Ju Shi (ball room), used as a target of attack, in race of each party there are 12 players. Sentence "(Chang Jian Ping Li, Qi Li You Chang), "explains the race both parties must select a captain and referee. While the game has a stable rule match, the two parties should implement them according to regulations.

Furthermore, the charter explains, in the days of soccer require sports Han referees and players must have an ethical game play. "(Bu Yi Qin Shu, Miss You A Si)" means the requirements to the referee. The referee at the time of implementing the game rules should just be impartial, not subject to personal relationships, should not be inclined to either party. "(Duan Xin Yi Ping, Yuan Qi Fei Mo)", meaning the requirements of the players. Players must be characterized by straight, calm and patient, though less compete, nor did carelessly allowed to grumble and blame the other party. "(Zheng You Ran Ju, Kuang Hu Zhi Ji) ", indicating that the soccer sport just have to have ethical standards like this, let alone public affairs rightly so

From Ju Cheng Sun can be known that in the days of ancient China over 2000 years ago, people had far today upholding a positive sporting ethics, in addition to demanding spirit of fair competition sportsmanship towards referees and players even require moral strict and standard characters. Today China faces ethics dilapidated football cheating umpire and play soap, so not excited and weary supporters, it The above should have an effect as a warning and a good role model.

Tang dynasty (read: Dang) is the development of China's most Cu Ju victorious. Tang era people do major overhaul of the Ju (the ball), which sphere of solid core revamped core is empty, replace the air bag filler material, called Qi Qiu (read: Ji Jiu = air ball). Direvolusi balls pantulnya power increases, so that in the field of football techniques and strategies to obtain a large spike, has made football increasingly varied. People Tang also replace doors with Ju Shi ball (ball room), on both ends of the field is established cornerstone fitted with nets that form the door of the ball / goal. Cu Ju China also spread to Japan during the Tang era.

In the Song dynasty was marked by the founding team of Cu Ju among the people, Society Qi Yun, Yuan Association, Association Football etc are famous at the time. These associations have a reliable technique and kick variety, in addition to It actively promotes the activities of Cu Ju and game. Books (Chen Hui Hou Lu => Note the end of Spreading Dust) from Wang Mingqing noted as follows: When that person named Gao Qiu (read: Kao Jiu) from Yuan associations, because it has a super ball technique, until appointed as commander of Front Palace by the emperor, he is arguably The first soccer star in the world.

What is worth mentioning also is the founder of the dynasty Song / Song Tai Zu named Zhao Kuangyin, very fond of "Cu Ju", allegedly including the great art of the ball as well. The painters of the dynasty different ever create works berthema Song Taizu play "Cu Ju". But when he got on Cu Ju Ming dynasty began to fade. Founder Ming / Sun Taizu had ordered the ban on playing soldier Cu Ju, even soldiers for violating the ban is so cut off his right foot. Qing Dynasty did not proceed

Ju Cu activity, which makes it towards extinction. Until the post-war opium, along with the arrival of Western missionaries and traders. new modern football spread into China.

Valentine's Day : Day Of Love

noreply@blogger.com (insane zone) — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 07:16:00 +0000

Valentine's Day often eagerly awaited by young people, they called Valentine's Day as a day of love. I wonder what the teenagers call history why Valentine's Day as a day of love. Well for those of you who do not know what it is and what the history of valentine day.

Valentine's Day exactly on the 14th of February is a day on which lovers and those who are in love declare his love in the Western World. The dark origins as a Roman Catholic feast day of Saint Valentine was discussed in the article. Some readers may also want to read the entry Valentinus. This feast may not be associated with romantic love before the late Middle Ages when such concepts were created.

This feast is now primarily associated with lovers of the mutual exchange of notisi-notisi in the form of "valentines". Modern Valentine symbols, among others, including a heart-shaped card and a picture of a Cupido (UK: cupid) winged. Start the 19th century, the tradition of writing love notisi statement begins mass production of greeting cards. The Greeting Card Association (U.S. Greeting Card Association) estimates that worldwide approximately one billion valentine cards are sent per year. This makes this holiday is the second biggest holiday after Christmas in which the greeting cards sent. This same association also estimates that the women who purchased approximately 85% of all valentine cards.

In the United States began in the second half of the 20th century, the tradition of card exchange extended and includes the provision of all kinds of gifts, usually by men to women. Ordinary gifts of roses and chocolates. Beginning in the 1980s, the diamond industry began to promote Valentine's Day as an opportunity to give jewelry.

A date on Valentine's Day is often thought that couples who are dating are involved in a serious relationship. Actually it is a valentine's day romance, not just the girlfriend or boyfriend, Valentine's is the biggest day in terms of romance and it does not mean besides Valentine did not feel the love.

Association mid-February with love and fertility has been around since dahulukala. According to chronicle the ancient Athenian calendar, the period between mid-January to mid February is the month Gamelion, which is dedicated to the sacred marriage god Zeus and Hera.

In ancient Rome, February 15 is the feast of Lupercalia, a celebration of Lupercus, the god of fertility, symbolized half-naked and dressed in goat skins. As part of the ritual of purification, the priests of Lupercus meyembahkan goat sacrifice to the gods and then after drinking wine, they will be running in Rome jejalanan while carrying the pieces of sheep skin and touching anyone they meet. Especially young women would go voluntarily because they believe that it will be endowed with fertility and can give birth with ease.

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia (Catholic Encyclopaedia 1908), the name of Valentine was able to refer at least three martyr or saint (saint) is different:

* A priest in Rome

* A bishop Interamna (modern Terni)

* A martyr in the Roman province of Africa.

The connection between the three martyrs was the feast of romantic love is not clear. Even Pope Gelasius I in 496, stating that in fact nothing is known about these martyrs, but on February 14 designated as a memorial feast of St. Valentine. Some say that Pope Gelasius I deliberately set it to surpass the feast of Lupercalia which was celebrated on February 15.

Skeletal remains unearthed from the tomb of Saint Hyppolytus she Via Tibertinus near Rome, identified as a corpse St. Valentinus. Then placed in a gold coffin and sent to the church Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland. The body has been given to them by Pope Gregory XVI in 1836. Many tourists who make pilgrimages to this church on Valentine's Day, where the coffin was carried gold-wine in a solemn procession and brought to a high altar. On that day a special mass was held and presented to the young people and those who are in a relationship of love.

Feast day was removed from the Church calendar in 1969 as part of a broader effort to erase the saints that its origin can be questioned and only a legend-based course. The feast day is still celebrated in some parishes. Gnosticism influential science teacher Valentinus, was a candidate for bishop of Rome in 143. In his teachings, wedding bed has a major place in the version of Christian Charity. The emphasis is much different from the concept of Christianity ... in general. Stephan A. Hoeller, an expert, expressed his opinion about Valentinus about this: "In addition to the sacrament of baptism, confirmation, eucharist, the priesthood and petroleum, the flow of Valentinus is also a prominent gnosis emphasized two great and mysterious sacraments called" penance "(apolytrosis) and" place wedding "

Note the first association of the feast of Saint Valentine with romantic love is in the 14th century in England and France, where it is believed that February 14 is the day when birds are looking for a partner for mating. This belief is written on the work of British writer Geoffrey Chaucer's famous mid-century 14. He wrote the story Parlement of Foules (Conversation Birds) that

For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne's day ("For this was sent on the day of Saint Valentine")

When every foul cometh there to choose his mate ("When all the birds come there to choose their partners")

At times it was common for lovers to exchange notes on this day and call their partners "Valentine" them. A Valentine card from the 14th century is said to be part of the collection pernaskahan British Library in London. Chances are many legends about St. Valentine were created at this time. Some of them told me that:

* In the evening before St. Valentine would fall as a martyr (died a martyr), he wrote a little love he gave a statement to the prison warden is written "From Valentinusmu".

* When the Roman soldiers were forbidden to marry by the Emperor Claudius II, St. Valentine secretly helped marry them. In most versions of these legends, February 14, associated with miscarriage as a martyr.

In Japan, Valentine's Day has emerged thanks to massive marketing, as a day where women give the men that they love chocolate candy. But this is not done voluntarily but rather becomes an obligation, especially for those who work in offices. They give chocolates to all their male colleagues, sometimes at great cost. Chocolate is known as the Giri-choko, from the words giri (obligation) and choco (chocolate). Then thanks to marketing efforts further, a day counter, called "White Day" (White Day) appears. On this day (March 14), men who have got chocolate on Valentine's Day is expected to give something back.

In Taiwan, in addition to the Valentine's Day and White Day, there is one other holiday is similar to the second day that judging from the function. His name is "Feast of Daughter" (Qi Xi). Day was held on day 7, month 7 according to the Chinese chronicle kamariyah calendar.

In Indonesia, the cultural exchange between lovers greeting letter also began to emerge. This culture became popular culture among young people. Various forms of celebrations, ranging from sharing the love with your spouse, parents, people who are less fortunate in the material, and visit the orphanage where they desperately need affection from fellow humans. Shops and media (TV stations, radio and magazines), especially in big cities in Indonesia bloom organize events related to the valentine.

What Does It Mean To Go Green?

noreply@blogger.com (insane zone) — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 03:07:00 +0000

Since the issue of global warming more commonly known as global warning people busy talking, at both international and local, environmental consciousness becomes dramatically important point in human life. Suddenly the Go Green movement became so popular and moving simultaneously in almost all corners of the world. So what's really go green?

Every aspect of life was filled with environmentally conscious movement, ranging from structuring the home / office environment-friendly, up to a company policy that label themselves with Go Green banner posted prominently on a number of offices and event activities. In fact, in a few decades ago, not many people who care about this issue. If there were, more dominated by local and international NGOs.

Various ways have been undertaken, in order to reduce burden to be borne by the earth, as a result of the use of technology is not environmentally friendly. It's no secret too, how every year the rate of deforestation is increasing, so the total forest cover as a support of continuity of the ecosystem is disturbed, resulting in the emergence of climate change and natural disasters, like floods and landslides. Not to mention, exhaust gas emissions of motor vehicles, households and factories contributed to making this Earth is getting hotter.

In general, global warming, or better known as global warming is the process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, oceans and the Earth's land.The main cause of global warming is increasing the greenhouse effect that occurred on Earth. So do not be surprised, if only in a matter of years, changes in the Earth's temperature rose dramatically. It is characterized by the least extensive ice cover in the north and south poles, due to the collapse of the ice-ice region.

In fact, initially, the greenhouse effect is very useful for living things on Earth, due to the greenhouse effect causes the earth's atmosphere is warm. The condition is what makes the earth warm comfortable place to live by all living things. If the greenhouse effect does not exist, then the earth becomes a very cold planet.

However, in recent years, the greenhouse effect has increased significantly in the husband's dance global warming, the rising temperature of Earth's surface and results in a very extreme climate change.

Moreover, it can result in disruption of forests and other ecosystems, thereby reducing its ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. One of the impacts of global warming is to look at the behavior of orangutans (Pongo Pygmeus) in the interior of Borneo. Once this aboreal animals live in the tops of trees by eating fruit and insects, however, now more orangutans activity below.

If global warming is not addressed will cause a greater impact that the loss of the islands which consequently changes the face of our world map. This disaster caused by rising sea levels due to melting of icebergs in the polar regions. If this condition is allowed to continue, it is probable that future generations who most suffer the consequences.

Then, they can only hear the legend about the wonders of nature that they could not enjoy. Starting from the awareness, some scientists in the world are working hard to reduce the impact of this global warming, one with the campaigns go green movement.

Simply put, Go Green was the propaganda used in the environmental campaign, or it could be said to be a movement 'back to basics' environmental awareness.Porpaganda this purpose all kinds, including increasing awareness of the environment.

The practice of this discourse, including reducing carbon consumption per person per capita (carbon footprint) of various resources, both non-renewable such as oil, gas and minerals, and critical resources such as trees, water, marginal land, materialschemicals maker polymer (plastic), and their derivatives.

Indeed, the movement is not just a moral movement to build awareness of the environment, but more distant is the tactical and strategic movement to anticipate climate change in the present and future. In short, the movement is about an era of reform thought and concrete action to integrate the tactical life.

Now, humans are no longer limited by geographic barriers and frontiers in building a communal consciousness. It can not be denied, educated man who lived on Earth begin to be aware pengtingnya concept of sustainable development (sustainability).That paradigm is visible from the snowball phenomenon 'environmental revolution' today.

Despite the ideological level, all people believe in the preservation of nature.Derivative question that arises is how to actualization in everyday life. Redundant if consciousness is not practiced.

Generally, when everyone was asked about the importance of environmental penyelamatkan, simultaneously definite answer, YES. However, they do not understand, if you save the environment would impact on their enjoyment pengorbankan, for example, reduced use of private vehicles, not smoking, not using electricity in excess, to the reduced use of air conditioning. Or a more extreme, do not use chemicals that damage the environment.

So, not wrong if Go Green is the most expensive gift can we give to our grandchildren. The concept of Go Green or go back to nature by taking into account environmental conditions, very large effect on the success of reducing the threat of global warming.

Therefore, systematically there are some principles which have become a standard reference in the Go Green movement worldwide. This principle is summarized in a symbol that is memorable, which is 4R. The 4R that we can apply in daily life in order to minimize the residual or final results are:

Reduce or what we might call with a decrease in life is our effort to reduce or material goods that we usually use. Due to minimizing it will be able to reduce the waste it generates.

Reuse or use the back is by buying things that can be used again or goods that are not disposable. The development of an increasingly advanced age creates disposable items to lighten our work, but the effect it produces is very dangerous, because it will cause the accumulated garbage of the goods.

Recycle ie recycle, now many ways to utilize waste into valuable recycled goods, in this way we can reduce waste and make it a valuable item.

Replace that can we interpret the change that is trying to replace the goods that damage the environment with the things environmentally friendly, so that the goods tersebu if a garbage can in the natural degradation.

With 4 of this principle, it is expected that the burden should be on the responsibility of the Earth can be reduced, or at least the amount of waste the final result does not increase drastically. Therefore, let us budayakan and execute the movement to go green, become part of our lifestyle. Because no efforts are most significant, except starting from ourselves. That is why, save the environment the most effective starting from small things. Time to reduce the threat of global warming with the launch of Go Green's life.

In that case, the architect must be able to inform the impact to the surrounding environment when a building is not applying the principles go green.

For example, the assignor or building owners want the land used as optimal as possible so that there is little land left. Automatic, reduced water catchment areas. When that happens, of course there are limitations in applying go green architecture.

How can a way out of the issue? to the architect and the assignor must see each other that environmentally friendly architecture is important. So, although there is the biggest key in response to the issue of architects to go green, the assignor and the community also must realize the importance of the issue.Consciousness is indeed to be built together. Greetings from Indonesia go green!

Mecca As a Center of the Earth

noreply@blogger.com (insane zone) — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 08:36:00 +0000

Mecca, also called Bakkah-a place where Muslims perform Hajj was proven as a place that first invented. Has become a scientific fact that this globe was initially submerged in the water (the ocean is very large).

Then the volcano erupted on the ocean floor was hard and sending lava and magma in large numbers that form the 'hill'. And this hill is where God commanded to make the floor of the Kaaba (Qibla). Basalt stone Makkah proved by a scientific study as the most ancient rocks on Earth.

If so, this means that God continually expands the terrain of this place. So this is where the oldest in the world.

Is there a hadith that shows Nabawi this startling fact?The answer is yes.

The Prophet said, 'Kaaba is sesistim land on water, from where the earth is being expanded. " And is supported by fact.

Being the first place that created it adds to the spiritual side of the venue. Also, who says that the prophet in ancient times from time to dive in the water and who told him that the Kaaba was the first winner to be built on a piece of this place as it is supported by studies of basalt rock in Mecca ?

Mecca Center of the Earth

Prof. Hussain Kamel discovered a surprising fact that Mecca is the center of the earth. At first he was researching a way to determine the direction of Qibla in the big cities in the world.

For this purpose, he drew lines on maps, and after that he studied carefully the position of the seven continents of Makkah and distance respectively. He began to draw parallel lines just to facilitate the projection of longitude and latitude.

After two years of hard work and heavy, he was aided by computer programs to determine the correct distances and different variations, as well as many other things. He was impressed with what was found, that Mecca is the center of the earth.

He realized the possibility of drawing a circle with Mecca as its center point, and the line outside the circle that is continent-benuanya. And at the same time, he moves along with the outer circumference of the continent-continent. (Al-Arabiyyah Magazine, issue 237, August 1978).

Satellite Pictures, which appeared later in the 90's, emphasized the same results as further studies leading to the layers of Earth's topography and geography of the land when it was created.

Has become an established scientific theory that the earth plates are formed during the long geological ages, moving regularly around the Arabian plate. These plates constantly converge towards it as if pointing to Mecca.

Scientific studies are conducted for different purposes, not meant to prove that Mecca is the center of the earth.However, the study published in many scientific magazines in the West.

Allah says in the Qur'an al-Karim as follows:

'Thus We have revealed to the Holy Qur'an in Arabic that ye may give warning to the Umm Al-Qura (Mecca residents) and population (countries) around it ..' (Ash-Shura: 7)

The word 'Umm Al-Qura' means the host for other cities, and towns around it shows Makkah is the center for other cities, and the other is just being around him. More than that, said Umm (mother) has an important significance in Islamic culture.
