Drinking coffee makes women more difficult pregnancy, a study mentioned.

This is expected because of caffeine, contained in coffee damaging transport eggs from the ovary to the uterus, say the scientists from the United States.

Research involving 9000 women found that drinking more than four cups of coffee a day cut chances of becoming pregnant up to a quarter times.

Recent investigation conducted in mice showed that caffeine inhibits the contraction of the fallopian tubes are necessary to bring eggs to the uterus.
Caffeine activate cell-specific pacemaker cells in the tube wall. These cells coordinate the contraction wave tube that moves to bring eggs to the uterus.

Study leader Sean Ward, from the University of Nevada at Reno, USA, says the findings provide interesting explanations about why women with high caffeine consumption often takes much longer to conceive than women who did not consume caffeine.

NASA: Two Asteroids Skip the Earth On September 8

2010-09-11T23:32:00.000-07:00

Two asteroid passed within distance of the moon from Earth on Wednesday, but will not hit the Earth, said the National Aeronautics and Space United States (NASA) Tuesday.

Catalina Sky Survey is now located near Tucson, Arizona found a second object on the last Sunday.

Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to review their observations and decide early orbits.

Planet Center officials concluded that two objects will pass within the distance between the moon and the earth, about 240 000 miles.Asteroids can be seen with moderate-sized amateur telescopes.

According to NASA, asteroid 2010 was estimated to RX30-sized 32 to 65 feet and will pass within the range of 154 000 miles from Earth at 5:51 am Washington time Wednesday.

Bulk World Soon Face Extinction?

2010-09-06T00:00:00.000-07:00

World faces the threat of mass extinctions on an even more powerful than the obliteration dinosaur species from the face of the Earth. It is the latest research Australian scientists.

Palaebiologis from Macquarie University, Dr John Alroy said it was based on the fossils to track the fate of the major groups of marine animals throughout the history of Earth.

He then compile the data from about 100,000 fossil, tracing the fate of marine animals, during the period of extreme extinction that occurred about 250 million years ago.

This finding was published this week in the international science journal, Science. The findings showed severe extinction event in progress right now, and has the potential to be the worst in history.

"The organism that might survive in the past, may not be able to present," said Dr. Alroy, such as pages loaded News.com.au, Saturday, September 3, 2010.

"This may end up with dramatic changes in the seabed because of changes in the dominance of the group. Extinction that took place when this would reverse the balance of the group of marine animals."

It was also observed in human behavior and climate change will impact havoc on all species on Earth."When the occurrence of mass destruction, is still a gamble, but anything can happen," said Alroy.

"So, what we all do as a human species is running a gigantic experiment of this nature."

Historically, there are three mass extinction events, and nearly all biologists agree the world is currently experiencing something similar.

Last mass extinction is estimated to occur 65 million years ago when an asteroid struck Mexico and make dinosaurs extinct - to give space for the mammals to flourish.

Alroy said, a new mass extinction will not occur with the same skrenario, external factors - blow the comet to Earth.

What is now happening, basically the destruction comes from within. Bersal next mass extinction of a number of factors, from a foreign species, due to the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, pollution and deforestation.

Climate change and uncontrolled human growth also plays a role.

However, little good news, the current mass extinction will not be as bad as 250 million years ago, known as the Permian-Triassic extinction or 'The Great Dying'.

"It's safe to say that we will naturally lose yet sedahsyat period. But it is possible to say we could feel the same loss."

"Currently we're playing with the epic scale of the evolutionary process."

However, the paleontologist Charles Marshall of the University of California, Berkeley argues that statistical methods still need to be reviewed by Alroy paleobiology community.

"There will be no consensus on the details of the pattern directly on diversity," he wrote. But "the pieces have fallen into place," he said, like a loaded New Kerala, Sunday, September 5, 2010.

The scientists who examined it found the acacia tree (Acacia drepanolobium) in Africa are rarely touched by an elephant. Though elephants are hungry usually always tempted with a tree.

Why? calibaration have calibaration, there are thousands of ants crawling on the trunk. These experts also believe ants in acacia trees as guardians of the ecosystem plays an important role which was previously ignored.

Professor Todd Palmer, of the University of Florida, United States, who took part in the study, says this finding is the story of David and Goliath, a small ant can frighten a large herbivores."The ants, which weighs about five milligrams can protect trees from animals that approximately one billion times larger," says Palmer. According to Palmer, this finding is interesting because we often see other species of elephants eating the trees are not a nest of ants.

Scientists are increasingly convinced after testing with the elephants mecabut favorite tree known A.mellifera, then add the ant in the elephant's favorite menu. "The result is surprising, elephants avoid the trees were like children to avoid broccoli," said Palmer.

Colleague Can Kill Your Career

2010-09-01T01:57:00.000-07:00

You may have to follow or had heard about outbound company. The point is to build team work and bonding among employees. Hopes, with tighter proximity between the employee, it will generate productivity, team morale, and satisfaction and performance of employees. Friendship should be able to help provide encouragement, a sense of togetherness, and it seems it could help the job go better. In fact, behind it all, you can not equate intimacy with co-workers with your friendship with best friend since childhood. Friendships with colleagues in the office should be treated with caution, because this will mix up between the personal and professional life of someone.

Irene Levine, a psychiatrist at New York University said, friendships in the workplace like a double-edged sword. "Friendship is able to walk with good or bad depends on each individual and their role. Proximity to your workmates can encourage creativity and job satisfaction, but still must be kept alert. Some friendships can be messy and it will be difficult for you to face 'former friend' office down the hall, "she said.

With whom do you make friends too will affect the assessment of his superiors and colleagues to you, "says Helen Cooke, owner of Cooke Consulting firm human resources and organizational development. Apparently, in addition to personality, we also assessed through the type of people who are near us, too.

There are many things that could bring down one of friendship. However, we can still benefit from this friendship without having to fear our careers ruined because of it. Here's how to set boundaries for friendship in the workplace:

Precaution since the beginning
You just know the new girl. Senda happened so liquid. He joked just flowed. Well, be careful, you will easily be tempted to tell her about personal problems. Do not be too quick to share your personal information immediately. But beware with whom you share personal stories. Do not be so easy to share things like that. You should give enough time to build trust to the him and to know each other's personality. Let's go to lunch together once while talking about the things that went public just hang out together.

Minimal socialization in the office
Still reasonable if you and a friend in the office went to lunch together, sitting side by side at the meeting, or out for coffee together once in a while, but do not spend hours in kubikelnya while gossiping.

"If friendship is too liquid, could be involved in the drama office, eg, love scene, boss bitch, or make a hostile gang of other colleagues. Negative things like this can reduce productivity," explained Susan Shapiro Barash, author of Toxic Friends: The Antidote for Women Stuck in Complicated Friendships.

Friendship in the office alone should suffice as a counterweight. To maintain the friendship of this kind, it's good to keep a low profile while in office. For a private event with the affairs of a friend, do outside office hours and outside the work environment. This will prevent the charge that you are too often socialize while at the office because this will reflect on your productivity. Advised to continue the relationship beyond friendship or business affairs outside of the office work environment.

Be careful to report the relationship
If you feel your boss is the best friend, remember, when there are reports about the relationship between two individuals, it is important to build a mutually agreed limits in order that others do not feel there was any special treatment or injustice from the bosses.

Although your boss is your best friend, does not mean you can brag about this closeness in the office. When it comes to promotion, you do not want her other colleagues think that your career could go up because of friendship with the boss?

Else if you have a friend who equivalents. Originally seangkat friends, then one of you a promotion, then the new limits also must begin to install. For example, you and your colleagues are in a group containing five people near each other. Suddenly you get a promotion and rise to higher office. You can no longer complain about how the members of this group to other members, even if that means you before being promoted. Because this will hurt your friendship, including your reputation. Do not forget, your main focus is to work, meaning, you have to set boundaries with your co-workers about how much time can you spend to tease each other and exchanged many thoughts expressed.

You also must respect the restrictions given by your peers. Although it came out explicitly. For example, when you're talking about your date last night, and the friend you suddenly turn off the monitor while looking at his watch. That the signs that he did not want to know about your personal things.

Coworkers have experience of how to make the performance of non-productive or damaging your career and how you handle it?

NASA Discover 'Alien Planet' Earth twins?

2010-08-28T00:31:00.000-07:00

United States space agency (NASA) announced the new findings generated Kepler satellite, Thursday, August 26, 2010.

Kepler found a group of alien planets, planets that were never before seen it around a star - like planets in the solar system circling the sun. The findings were called Kepler system 9.

Observations of Kepler observatory confirms two Saturn-sized planet orbiting a star - in a distance of about 2300 light years from Earth.

They also reveal the candidate planet that may be the same size as Earth in the same system.

Why are the candidates? Since its existence has not been confirmed.

Until now, astronomers have not confirmed whether there is a potential planet like the Earth - in the sense that you could sustain life. However, initial analysis says, the planet has 1.5 times Earth's radius.

Continued observations of planetary systems will help answer the question is there life beyond Earth.

"We hope that within a few days or weeks, we can verify it," said William Borucki, principal investigator at Keppler NASA's Ames Research Center, such as pages loaded Space, August 26, 2010.

For the first time, the analysis of Kepler's observations are also combined with the time of transit and radial velocity observations to estimate the mass of alien planets.

Two of the largest planet in this system, called Kepler 9b and 9c Kepler - were found to have almost the same diameter. Both have a mass and density as Saturn.

However, the two planets are too close to the star - much like the sun, like Mercury, which orbits the Sun. Two planets that allegedly have no life because it is very hot.

Kepler planet is a planet into two groups announced this week. Previously, an astronomer at the European Space Agency (ESO) announced the discovery of 'solar system' consisting of seven planets, a distance of 127 light years from Earth.

Earth's twin?

The astronauts have yet to find planets similar to Earth than Kepler observatory.

If the existence of a third planet like the Earth has been no confirmation, that the planet could be a 'smallest planet' known.

"We can say, in terms of physical size, this will be the smallest, but we do not know its mass," says Matthew Holman, staff director of the division of the theory of astrophysics at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center, which confirmed the findings Kepper.

Keppler revealed, this third planet has a radius of 11.5 times the Earth and have orbital periods of about 1.6 days on Earth - shorter than the Kepler-9b and 9c.

The investigators are examining whether the candidates 'twins Earth' orbiting a star similar to two other planets.

"One message from this work is that Kepler made progress toward the goal to find a planetary system like our solar system."

But in terms of eligibility for habitation, Kepler-9 system is probably not the right place to look for life.

"The planets are as unfit for human habitation," said Holman. Estimated temperature of the two largest planets is very high, around 740 degrees Kelvin (872 degrees Fahrenheit) and 540 degrees Kelvin (512 derajatFahrenheit).

"Temperatures were well above the boiling point of water, then allegedly was not a planet uninhabited.

White House: Obama A Christian

2010-08-22T16:20:00.000-07:00

President of the United States (U.S.), Barack Obama, is a Christian. The White House dismissed the statement is the assumption of U.S. citizens who allege Obama's a Muslim.

"The president clearly is a Christian. He prayed every day," said White House spokesman, Bill Burton, Thursday, August 19, 2010.

The more the increase of U.S. citizens who feel that Obama is not a Christian by the results of the survey.

According to a survey from the Pew Research Center and Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, the number of respondents who rate Obama is a Muslim now as much as 18 percent of the total participants. The number rose seven percent of survey results in March 2009. In the same survey, the number of respondents who believe that Obama is a Christian now only 34 per cent, whereas last year amounted to 48 percent. Interestingly, as much as 43 percent of respondents currently admitted to not knowing what the religion embraced Obama.

Survey Time Magazine / ABT SRBI, which took place last August 16 to 17, revealed that 47 percent of respondents think Obama is a Christian, while 24 percent believed he was Muslim, while 24 percent admitted to not know or did not answer him.

According to the mass media in the U.S., Obama's views on the belief that respondents associated with its support for the construction of a mosque in the area of Manhattan, New York. We held an iftar at the White House, Friday, August 13, 2010, Obama stated that Islam is part of the Americans and Muslims have the right to establish places of worship anywhere, including in Manhattan.

However, despite also supported by the mayor of New York, mosque construction opposed by some public and among politicians of the Republican Party. According to them, development is justified because it is close to the area "Ground Zero." Location is a complex that was once the World Trade Center twin towers, destroyed by al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on September 11, 2010, which killed about 3,000 people.

According to observers, they are not happy with Obama's support for the construction of the mosque and then try to create an opinion among the public to question the identity and background of Obama.

"This situation reflects the more intense the negative view of Obama from the critics," said Andrew Cohut, director of the Pew Research Center.

President of the United States since January 20, 2009 This has a background that "colorful." Barack Hussein Obama's full name, his father was a Kenyan Muslim origin and whose mother was American Christian.

Since childhood, Obama was raised by his mother, Ann Dunham, and the parents of his mother. At the age of 6 to 10 years, Obama lived in Indonesia, together with her mother and stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. (Associated Press)

Puncak Jaya glaciers Endangered Missing

2010-08-16T00:03:00.000-07:00

Geologists from the Ohio State University estimates that there are glaciers in the mountains of Puncak Jaya, Papua, endangered missing because of melting. Snow in the mountains was melting because of global warming. "It is estimated that the ice will last several more years," said Lonnie Thompson, a senior researcher from the research center of Ohio State's Byrd Polar, who is also professor of the School of Earth Sciences.

Estimates were declared Thompson after he took the three ice core samples from Mount Puncak Jaya. The study, which is the result of work with the National Science Foundation, the Freeport mining company, and Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) ice core was drilled in Puncak Jaya which is residing with an altitude of 16 thousand feet, into three basic rock. The first ice along the 30 meters, 32 meters of ice a second, third and ice m along the 26 meters.

According to Thompson, who has performed more than 57 expeditions to the snowy mountains, the length of the existing ice cores in Puncak Jaya, Papua, shorter than the ice core in some other mountains. He gave an example, when taking ice cores from Hualcán, existing in the Andes Mountains of Peru, south-east Pacific Ocean, in 1993, Thompson took ice cores along the 189 meters and 195 meters. Because of the short ice cores in Puncak Jaya, Thomson estimates that the snow-covered mountains will disappear in a few years into the future.
When about to take ice cores in Puncak Jaya, Thomson and the team had banned four tribes who lived in the area. They claim that the ice core researchers who want to take a skull of their gods with arms and legs of the mountains around him. "We considered going to steal the 'treasure' of their beliefs," he said.

The residents were convinced that they and ice cores that are part of nature. If the ice core is lost, residents also believe their souls will be lost. To anticipate the resistance of the four tribes, the Freeport then opened a public forum attended by 100 residents of four of the tribe. On occasion, the researchers explained the importance of taking ice cores to determine the global climate change. Having deliberated for four and a half hours, finally allowing people to study ice cores taken.

According to Thomson, the snow-covered mountains of Puncak Jaya begin to shrink in recent years. From the results of satellite image shows the extent of ice in the mountains it has lost around 80 percent since 1936, or two thirds of the last scientific expedition carried out at the premises at the beginning of 1970.

Thomson explained that the research was conducted to reconstruct climate changes that occurred more than 500 years. Apart from ice cores in Puncak Jaya, Papua, and the Andes Mountains, Peru, the team had to take ice cores from the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.

Ice core from the Puncak Jaya, Papua, is expected to add a note of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) or the phenomenon of extreme climate changes that are dominant in the tropics. Besides taking ice cores, the team collects rain water samples from various locations, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

In this study will be known to the amount of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes from ice cores and rain water, indicating a change in temperature. If in the ice core dust and rain water there, that means an increase in forest fires or burning in the surrounding mountains.
