Sumatra Earthquake

2012-04-12T09:33:00.001+07:00

Earthquake rocked the western coast of Sumatra, yesterday. The first quake occurred at 15:38 local time (GMT+07), Wednesday (April 11th, 2012), a magnitude 8.5 on the Richter scale with epicenter 346 kilometers southwest of Simeulue Island, Aceh. The quake was followed by at least 16 aftershocks. Furthermore, at 17:43 pm, another earthquake with a strength of 8.8 on the Richter scale, centered at 483 kilometers from Simeulue. The quake was followed by 11 aftershocks. The epicenter is on at 2:31 North Latitude, 92.67 East Longitude, or about 146 Southwestern Simeulue in Aceh with a depth of approximately 10 kilometers. This earthquake was also felt to Singapore, Malaysia, India, and Thailand.

The Indonoesian agency of Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) also issued a tsunami warning threat. At 19:45, a new tsunami warning is terminated. Tsunami warning issued for 27 countries - region bordering the Indian ocean. Well, judging by the earthquake, it is actually quite a large force. With 8.5 on the Richter scale and 8.8 on the Richter scale followed, a large tsunami could happen. However, although hit several areas, namely Meulaboh, Sabang and Lahewa, it turns out the tsunami is a small tsunami - very small tsunami.

Why? Head of Data Center for Information and Public Relations of the National Disaster Sutopo Purwo Nugroho explained that the reason only a small tsunami related to the location of the epicenter and fault movement. The epicenter occurred outside the subduction zone.

Subduction zones are zones where two plates meeting. Known, the first earthquake and numerous aftershocks that occurred centered in the western of subduction zone, away from the mainland island of Sumatra. The quake was different with the earthquake in Aceh in 2004. If the epicenter was outside of subduction zones, tsunami potential stay there, but smaller.

Based on the monitoring of BMKG, the tsunami that occurred just as high as 80 centimeters in Meulaboh at 17:04 pm and 6 cm in Sabang at 17.00 pm. Meanwhile, the monitoring of Bakosurtanal is also not much different. In Meulaboh, only 1.02 meter high while in Lahewa (North Nias) is only 1 meter.

2012-03-14T10:09:00.001+07:00

A rare opportunity to see the two most luminous planets, Venus and Jupiter, appear side by side in the night sky will occur for two consecutive days, the astronomers said.

On a clear night sky from March 12 to 14, sky observers could reach out and see the two planets were in close distance, about three degrees, despite the fact that their distance apart in space.
Venus will be much brighter than Jupiter as it gets twice as much light from the Sun and 50 times more intense of the sun that shines in Jupiter, according to Sky & Telescope magazine.

Venus is also seven times closer to Earth than Jupiter - the largest of the two planets, and probably will appear two times larger than Venus.

After March 14, Jupiter will not look down until after sunset in mid-April.

Silent Attack Behind the Veil of Night by Navy SEAL Team 6

2012-01-27T08:21:00.000+07:00

I'm very pleased with anything related to action or military - looks really great and cool. I had aspired to become a pilot of fighter jet F-16;-)
It feels very happy if I could help keeping security of the country, despite the fact that war is a bad thing. however Life is too precious to be eliminated. Therefore, I prefer to see or read the heroic actions of the great and brave soldiers. One that I read today is the news of release of hostages in Somalia. Here the news.

Nine dead, hostages saved:
After Taking out Osama bin Laden, SEAL Team 6 Does It Again

First they took out Osama bin Laden. Now the US Navy SEALs have earned their "special forces" designation once again by conducting a daring, pinpoint rescue of two aid workers held hostage for three months in Somalia.

US officials confirmed it was a Navy SEAL team that carried out the pre-dawn raid, but the Pentagon, citing "operation security reasons," would not confirm US media reports that it was SEAL Team 6, the same unit which got Al-Qaeda leader bin Laden deep inside Pakistan last May.

American Jessica Buchanan and Dane Poul Thisted, who both worked for the Danish Refugee Council Demining Group, were rescued unharmed after helicopter-borne US commandos landed in scrubland in central Somalia early Wednesday local time, according to a local Somali official.

They killed all nine of them, the US military said. US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said no US troops had been wounded or killed in the operation, which was personally authorized by President Barack Obama.

The SEALs -- an acronym of "Sea, Air, Land" -- specialise in reconnaissance and sea-borne assaults, often on vessels. They count some 2300 highly specialised operatives among their ranks, and their raids mostly involve participation of two teams totaling nearly 30 commandos.

For a decade, they have been putting their elite training to use on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, as have their US Army counterparts in Delta Force and the Green Berets.

Team 6 is the elite of the elite, and their missions are classified. While its shining moment was the spectacular bin Laden triumph, Team 6 is cloaked in secrecy, and its activities are almost never officially acknowledged.

According to the GlobalSecurity website, SEAL Team 6 is said to have been deployed for a possible -- but never attempted -- rescue of the Achille Lauro cruise ship from hijackers in 1985, and helped free the American captain of the container ship Maersk Alabama amid a 2009 standoff with pirates off Somalia.

According to US media, the elite fighters are also believed to have been involved in the mission to rescue Scottish aid worker Linda Norgrove in Afghanistan after she was kidnapped by members of the Taliban in 2010. Norgrove died in the operation.

Despite the stellar successes of the past year, the SEALs have also known tragedy during the same period. Seventeen US Navy SEALs, mostly from Team 6, were among 38 people killed last August when the Taliban shot down the Chinook helicopter that was transporting the US personnel, in the deadliest incident for US and NATO forces since the war in Afghanistan began in 2001.

The Team 6 moniker had been chosen by the unit's founder, Richard Marcinko, who wrote in his book "Rogue Warrior" that he wanted to trick other nations, notably the Soviet Union, into believing that the United States had more special operations teams than it actually had.

In the 1980s it had some 90 members, but its size swelled to nearly 300 after the 9/11 attacks of 2001.

While the name Team 6 continues to be used, it has not been the official designation since 1987. The unit was subsequently renamed DEVGRU, the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group.

Beware of Solar Storms

2012-01-25T07:56:00.001+07:00

United States National Weather Service (NOAA) predicts the biggest solar storm since 2005 occurred on this day. Effects experienced by the Earth is a powerful radiation. Quoted from its site "A large geomagnetic storm (a type of solar storm) — the largest such storm since October 2003 — is currently underway."

According to NASA, the bursts of the solar corona (CME) will reach speeds of 2.253 km per second. These solar storms will touch the earth's upper atmosphere on Tuesday (24 / 1), approximately at 09:00 U.S. time. These solar storms will last for approximately 7 hours. NASA and NOAA categorizes this solar radiation storms reaching the S3 level (strong).

While the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) states, the weather will continue to rise in the earth from Tuesday to Wednesday (Jan-25). Bursts of solar radiation has the potential to isolate the computer systems that exist on earth satellites, damaging the electrical connections, and interfere with radio transmissions. In addition, this radiation will also affect humans who are in space and in altitude, such as on airplanes.

To deal with this radiation, a number of flights in the Arctic has been diverted. Then, launching a satellite into space also will be suspended, at least wait until the solar storms finished.

Meanwhile, the collision loaded particles with the energetic atoms in a layer of earth's thermosphere will produce Aurora around the Arctic circle. The solar storm will also interfere with GPS systems. While on Tuesday night, the sky will look a certain color and light which is the effect of these solar storms. At that time, a number of energetic particles will penetrate into Earth's atmosphere.

the Princess Ghost Caught on Camera

2012-01-19T09:41:00.003+07:00

Strange image in the video footage or photographs are common. However, it would be unusual and very interesting if the sighting was similar to Princess Diana - Lady Di former wife of Prince Charles and the mother of Prince William.

Now, the shaman / psychic in the UK has been busy studying the videotape said to show the appearance that looks like Princess Diana in a stained glass window.

The video was taken by a tourist from China at a church in Glasgow. When taking pictures, he did not see anything. However, this is it, when played upon he returned from vacation, he saw a female figure dressed in white with short hair and slender, like Lady Diana.

A renowned British psychics, Michael Cohen - who got the video delivery - said it was one of the "most obvious" about the ghost sightings. The tape is currently being examined along with several other researchers to ascertain whether it is the appearance of a ghost or not. As we all know that not every strange image in the video or camera shots are a ghost. Perhaps a strange optical illusion, but then again, it could be a ghost - and maybe Lady Di maybe not.

According to him, ghosts often appears in places that are connected with their lives and their families. Ghosts may appear to warn individuals, groups and even whole nation of the dangers that may be coming.

I think personally, maybe it is a reflection of light, but it may have been a ghost, but not the Princess Diana.

Captain Francesco Schettino has arrested on charges of involuntary homicide. Chief police investigator said the luxury ship was "too close to the Giglio".

Cruise ship Costa Concordia is the largest cruise ship ever built by the Italians. Ships worth 450 million euros were made since January 19, 2004 in Sestri Ponente, Genoa, Italy.

Champagne bottle being thrown into the body of a luxury ship, the traditions are wont to do when launching a new ship, not broken as it should. And, for the sailors it is a sign of bad luck.

Concerns began to prove on November 22, 2008, when the ship was damaged after hitting the dock when entering the port of Palermo, Sicily in the storm! The same ship later made headlines worldwide after crashing into rocks and ran aground on the west coast of Italy with killing at least three people while around 17 others still missing.

Interestingly, the tragedy occurred on Friday 13th, January that for some people regarded as an unlucky day. An effort to find people who still trapped on board the Costa Concordia continues with scuba-divers accessing parts of the ship cut off from other rescuers by the sea.

10 Products Defining Steve Jobs' Career

2011-10-06T10:06:00.001+07:00

Steve Jobs had no formal schooling in engineering, yet he's listed as the inventor or co-inventor on more than 300 U.S. patents. These are some of the significant products that were created under his direction:

1. Apple I (1976) — Apple's first product was a computer for hobbyists and engineers, made in small numbers. Steve Wozniak designed it, while Jobs orchestrated the funding and handled the marketing.

2. Apple II (1977) — One of the first successful personal computers, the Apple II was designed as a mass-market product rather than something for engineers or enthusiasts. It was still largely Wozniak's design. Several upgrades for the model followed, and the product line continued until 1993.

3. Lisa (1983) — Jobs' visit to Xerox Corp.'s research center in Palo Alto inspired him to start work on the first commercial computer with a graphical user interface, with icons, windows and a cursor controlled by a mouse. It was the foundation for today's computer interfaces, but the Lisa was too expensive to be a commercial success.

4. Macintosh (1984) — Like the Lisa, the Macintosh had a graphical user interface. It was also cheaper and faster and had the backing of a large advertising campaign behind it. People soon realized how useful the graphical interface was for design. That led "desktop publishing," accomplished with a Mac coupled to a laser printer, to soon become a sales driver.

5. NeXT computer (1989) — After being forced out of Apple, Jobs started a company that built a powerful workstation computer. The company was never able to sell large numbers, but the computer was influential: The world's first Web browser was created on one. Its software also lives on as the basis for today's Macintosh and iPhone operating system.

6. iMac (1998) — When Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, the company was foundering, with an ever shrinking share of the PC market. The radical iMac was the first step in reversing the slide. It was strikingly designed as a bubble of blue plastic that enclosed both the monitor and the computer. Easy to set up, it captured the imagination just as people across the world were having their eyes opened to the benefits of the Internet and considering getting their first home computer.

7. iPod (2001) — It wasn't the first digital music player with a hard drive, but it was the first successful one. Apple's expansion into portable electronics has had vast ramifications. The iPod's success prepared the way for the iTunes music store and the iPhone.

8. iTunes store (2003) — Before the iTunes store, buying digital music was a hassle, making piracy the more popular option. The store simplified the process and brought together tracks from all the major labels. The store became the largest music retailer in the U.S. in 2008.

9. iPhone (2007) — The iPhone did for the phone experience what the Macintosh did for personal computing — it made the power of a smartphone easy to harness. Apple is now the world's most profitable maker of phones, and the influence of the iPhone is evident in all smartphones.

10. iPad (2010) — Dozens of companies, including Apple, had created tablet computers before the iPad, but none caught on. The iPad finally cracked the code, creating a whole new category of computer practically by itself.

The first screen presents a collection of information directly from the applications in use and the menus are arranged neatly with a design called the Metro. From the start menu, its consumer can also directly access the list of friends in social networks and favorite menus simply sliding the screen with the touch of a finger.

Windows 8 also supports various hardware platforms. Unlike previous Windows versions that support only the x86 processor architecture, Windows 8 also supports the ARM chip that is widely used in tablet devices generally. Form of devices will be much more sleek and thin and will have a longer battery life.

Sinofsky ensure that all the software that runs on Windows 7 will also can be used on Windows 8. A little different is the approach in terms of users to access multiple types of applications. If the previous operating system to force users always open the application one by one, on Windows 8 collaboration between applications began to be applied. For example through a feature that lets users access email information, Twitter, and social networks in one view.

Currently, Windows 8 are newly introduced to the developers because of the developer preview version. There is no certainty when this software will begin to be distributed to the market. Still have to go through the beta, release candidate, and release to manufacturing, before being distributed. Microsoft must make sure the quality is and is not dependent on deadlines.
