Bupati Garut Terancam Dipanggil Paksa

2012-12-08T07:07:00.000+07:00

CIANJUR, - Bupati Garut Aceng Fikri, terancam dipanggil paksa Polda Jabar, terkait dugaan penipuan dan pemerasan yang dilaporkan Asep Rahmat Kurnia Jaya. Kapolda Jabar Brigjen TB Anis Angkawijaya, Jumat (7/12/2012) membenarkan hal tersebut.
Dia mengatakan, Aceng dipanggil untuk kedua kalinya, hari ini (7/12). Dimana pada pemanggilan pertama, Aceng tidak hadir dengan alasan kesibukan sebagai bupati.
Sebelumnya Asep Rahmat Kurnia Jaya melaporkan Aceng Fikri, atas dugaan penipuan dan pemerasan, terkait janji untuk menjadikan dirinya sebagai wakil bupati mengganti Dicky Chandra yang mengundurkan diri.
"Polda Jabar telah memeriksa delapan orang saksi yang menguatkan dugaan tersebut. Jika hari ini, yang bersangkutan tidak datang, maka kami akan membawa paksa Aceng untuk diperiksa," katanya.
Sementara itu, berdasarkan keterangan Asep Rahmat KJ, setelah Dicky Chandra mengundurkan diri sebagai Wabup Garut, Aceng meminta dia menyediakan uang Rp 1,4 miliar, dengan janji posisi orang kedua di Kabupaten Garut.
Namun ketika itu, Asep hanya mampu memberikan dana sebesar Rp 250 juta. Namun setelah ditunggu-tunggu janji tersebut tidak pernah ditepati, Aceng mengangkat orang lain sebagai wakilnya.
Diberitakan sebelumnya, Bupati Garut Aceng Fikri mangkir dari panggilan Polda Jawa Barat, Jumat (7/12/2012). Alasannya karena tidak enak badan.
"Tekanan darahnya turun sehingga dia harus dirawat beberapa hari," ujar Ujang Suja'i Toujiri, pengacara Fikri.
Ujang mendatangi Polda Jabar bersama dua rekannya. Dia membawa kertas bertuliskan keterangan sakit dari dokter pribadi Aceng Fikri bernama Ade Rusiyana.
Dalam surat keterangan sakit itu, dicantumkan bahwa tekanan darah Fikri mencapai 120/80 mm Hg dengan nadi 80 kali setiap menit.
Ujang mengatakan bahwa Aceng Fikri kelelahan setelah mengikuti Rapat Pansus di DPRD Kabupaten Garut terkait nikah siri yang dia lakukan. Kemudian, Aceng Fikri disarankan dokter dirawat di RS Sentosa Garut.

Why bankruptcy isn't a brand killer

2012-01-23T12:27:00.000+07:00

Neither bankruptcy nor a liquidation can kill iconic brands.

Before the ink was even dry on Hostess Brands' bankruptcy filingWednesday morning, interested buyers were already digging into the potential value of the Hostess name and how Twinkie, Ding Dong or Wonder Bread could be repurposed into other consumer products.

For now, Hostess will continue to churn out Twinkies, but many in the bankruptcy world are questioning whether the maker of snack foods can survive.

This is Hostess Brands' second trip in bankruptcy court. It emerged in 2009 after a four and a half year restructuring.

Should Hostess Brands choose to liquidate rather than reorganize, the brand names - Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread - will very likely live on.

Buyers have made multi-million dollar bets on brand names like Polaroid, Sharper Image and even Borders that continue to resonate with consumers even after the parent company has liquidated.

Our favorite products -- and what we do to save them

"The marketplace has, without question, become a lot more sophisticated in terms of intellectual property since the world came to an end in the fourth quarter of 2008," said Jason Frank, a managing director in Hilco's appraisal business which values liquidated brands. "Before that everyone knew brand names were worth something but no one put much value on it."

Several private equity firms, including Hilco, Gordon Brothers and Authentic Brands, regularly show up at intellectual property auctions after a company has decided to liquidate. Rivals to the deceased companies often make bids too, driving up the prices of these brand names.

A big payoff can help the parent company pay back some of its debts.

After Polaroid filed for bankruptcy protection in December 2008, a consortium of buyers paid $88 million in 2009 for the brand name.

Not only did Polaroid's creditors get that lump sum, they also gained a minority stake in the new entity. And that stake could turn out to be quite lucrative if the company sells itself or goes public.

Many potential buyers are also weighing the value of Kodak' (EK,Fortune 500)s brand-name since there's been a lot of talk that it may consider filing for bankruptcy. For now the company plans to restructure out of court.

Kodak's brand name (not its patents) could easily generate more than double Polaroid's sales price, said Jamie Salter, the CEO of Authentic Brands. "There are a lot of categories that Kodak could attach its name to. People would feel very comfortable using Kodak paper," said Salter.

Like Polaroid, Kodak has brand cachet all over the world offering potential buyers the opportunity to tap global markets.

Twinkies will keep coming despite bankruptcy

"Part of what drives so much of this is the Internet economy," said Richard Chesley, a partner in DLA Piper's bankruptcy practice and represented Polaroid's creditors in its bankruptcy. "It's so much easier to get products manufactured globally and consumers in the developing world are often looking for iconic American branded products."

While global consumers might be drawn to shaking lots of things like a "Polaroid picture," in the words of hip hop group Outkast, even brands with significantly less cache like Borders can attract eight-figure investments. Barnes & Noble (BKS, Fortune 500) spent $13.9 million to buy the rights to its defunct rival's brand name.

A revived Twinkie may make its fans happy but it's unlikely to bring back the 19,000 jobs that would be lost if it decides to liquidate. Nearly 11,000 workers lost jobs at Borders when it liquidated.

The larger question for potential buyers of Hostesses brands is whether Twinkies and Ding Dongs can move into other products?

"For Polaroid and Sharper Image, buyers have been able to use the name and make products within a category of electronics that have a meaning to the consumer," said Cathy Hershcopf, a partner in the bankruptcy practice at the law firm Cooley. "Instead of having a non-name camera or a non-name appliance, suddenly you have a Polaroid camera or a Sharper Image one."

Hershcopf worked on the sale of Sharper Image's name to a consortium of buyers who now license its name to products sold at Target and Best Buy.

If Hostess does sell its brand-name, the question is whether in the low-carb, gluten-free age, will consumers want to see a Wonder Bread superhero?

BlackBerry maker shakes up board

2012-01-23T12:25:00.001+07:00

Research In Motion's joint chairmen and chief executives, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, have resigned as part of a long-awaited shake-up at the embattled Canadian maker of the BlackBerry smartphone.

RIM said late on Sunday that Lazaridis would continue to play an active role as vice-chairman and head of a new board committee on innovation. Balsillie is leaving the company, but will remain a director.

The new chief executive will be Thorsten Heins, chief operating officer for product and sales. Heins, a 54-year-old German, joined RIM in 2007 from Siemens, the engineering group.

RIM presented the changes as an orderly succession initiated by the two former chief executives. "There comes a time in the growth of every successful firm that the founders realise that it's time to pass the baton," Lazaridis told the Financial Times.

Barbara Stymiest, former head of the Toronto stock exchange and a senior executive at Royal Bank of Canada, was named chairman. RIM also said that it was seeking a new chief marketing officer. Prem Watsa, a prominent Canadian investor, has joined the board.

However, RIM shares have lost more than three-quarters of their value in less than two years as the company has struggled to respond to mounting competition, especially from Apple's iPhone and Android-based devices.

Shareholders have become increasingly restive over the BlackBerry's sliding market share in North America and by delays in the rollout of new devices and a fresh operating system. Some dissident shareholders have pressed for management to be replaced.

I'm here to ensure that RIM remains one of the top three wireless leaders in this industry
Thorsten Heins, new chief executive of RIM

The problems have fuelled speculation that RIM could become a takeover target. Nokia, Microsoft, Amazon and, most recently, Samsung, have been mentioned as possible suitors.

Nonetheless, Heins said, "I'm here to ensure that RIM remains one of the top three wireless leaders in this industry." In particular, he said he planned to "fortify" BlackBerry's position in the corporate market.

"I want to maintain the focus on enterprise, but we need to communicate a bit more with our consumers. We need to do more marketing."

His priorities include the planned launch of a new version of RIM's much-maligned Playbook tablet next month and the rollout later this year of the BlackBerry 10 operating system. He trumpeted these developments as well as the recent launch of the BlackBerry 7.1 device as evidence that RIM is responding vigorously to the challenges it faces.

Lazaridis, an engineer, founded RIM in the late 1980s, while Balsillie, whose expertise is on the marketing side, joined in 1992. Both men are significant shareholders and said on Sunday that they would remain so.

RIM shares dropped 3 percent on Friday to C$17.34. News of the shake-up is likely to prompt an uptick on Monday, although some may be disappointed that the company did not turn to an outsider as the new chief executive.

The Pirate Bay is enemy #1 for digital piracy foes

2012-01-23T12:22:00.003+07:00

One day after a massive online protest against proposed new anti-piracy laws, federal agents shut down Megaupload, a popular hub for illegal file sharing.

But the most famous nexus for digital piracy sailed through the week unscathed. It's called The Pirate Bay, and it's the poster child for the kinds of "rogue" overseas sites Congress took aim at with a pair of bills called SOPA and PIPA. (Click here for our explainer: What SOPA is and why it matters.)

Run by an organization registered in the Seychelles, The Pirate Bay bills itself as the "world's largest tracker of BitTorrent files."

BitTorrent is a free software program that lets its 150 million users swap and download large media files. The tool has many legitimate uses, but it's also heavily used to illegally trade movies and other copyrighted content. The Pirate Bay can be confusing to those who aren't fluent geeks. Downloading files requires installing and learning to use torrent software, and the site's ad-choked pages aren't easy to understand at a glance.

But the system is extremely resilient -- and it's a haven for digital piracy. On Friday afternoon, one day after Megaupload's death, more than 36 million computers were connected to The Pirate Bay's network. Recent episodes of the TV shows "Vampire Diaries," "Big Bang Theory" and "The Mentalist" were among the day's most popular downloads, along with the video game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and the just-released movie "War Horse."

The Pirate Bay is firmly in the U.S. government's crosshairs. Senator Orrin Hatch, who co-chairs the Congressional International Anti-Piracy Caucus, once denounced it on the Senate floor, and in December, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative highlighted The Pirate Bay on its list of "markets notorious for privacy."

The Pirate Bay simply operates a tracking network, so none of the copyright-protected files users commonly swap ever sit on the site's own servers. That makes it very hard to kill.

The site has successfully survived a number of assassination attempts in its nine-year existence.

Swedish anti-copyright organization Piratbyrån started The Pirate Bay in late 2003, taking advantage of the country's lax copyright laws. By October 2004, a handful of individuals were running the site independently.

It became a non-profit organization in 2006 -- the same year that brought The Pirate Bay a boatload of legal woes.

On May 31, 2006, police raided The Pirate Bay's office in Stockholm and confiscated the site's servers. The site went down for three days -- some users initially thought it was an April Fool's joke -- and temporarily moved its servers to the Netherlands. Protests broke out on the Swedish streets.

The Pirate Bay blamed the police raid on the Motion Picture Association of America, which acknowledged to Wired that it had "made criminal complaints" to Swedish authorities.

In 2007, Swedish officials charged three Pirate Bay operators and one of its financiers with "promoting other people's infringements of copyright laws." The trial took two years and ended with the conviction of operators Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Gottfrid Svartholm as well as businessman Carl Lundström.

The four were sentenced to one year in jail and a fine of $905,000 each. All except Svartholm, who was ill and skipped his scheduled court appearances, appealed the sentence, and in 2010 it was amended to include less jail time but a higher fine. The case is still ongoing: The three plan to take their battle to Sweden's Supreme Court.

Svartholm hasn't been seen publicly in several years. His whereabouts are unknown.

"Nobody is in contact with him," Sunde told online news site TorrentFreak late last year. "For all we know he might be dead, since no-one can reach him."

'0 torrents will ever be removed': The Pirate Bay's operators aren't fazed by the past legal actions, nor are they ruffled by threats of future lawsuits. They publicly thumb their noses at cease-and-desist letters from copyright holders, some of which are compiled on the site's "legal threats" section.

The Pirate Bay's responses to these letters are also posted: merry, expletive-laden missives that deride companies that cite U.S. laws in their complaints.

As the site told Dreamworks: "As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe. Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here. For your information, no Swedish law is being violated."

At the bottom of the Legal Threats page, The Pirate Bay makes its stance even more clear.

"For the law firms who don't get the hint above: we used to have a nice graph here, but it's simpler to just say: 0 torrents has [sic] been removed, and 0 torrents will ever be removed."

Arab League calls for unity government in Syria

2012-01-23T12:14:00.002+07:00

The Arab League agreed on a path forward in Syria on Sunday that instructs President Bashar al-Assad to delegate powers to his vice president following the formation of a national unity government.

The Syrian government roundly rejected the plan, which it views as "blatant intervention in its internal affairs," Syria's official SANA news agency reported soon after the announcement.

The Arab League called for the government to start a dialogue with the opposition within two weeks, and for the new government to be formed within two months.

The unity government should within three months prepare to elect a council that will write a constitution, the Arab League said. It should also prepare for parliamentary and presidential elections.

The plan, details of which were announced by Qatari Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani at a press conference in Cairo, is the clearest statement yet from the Arab League on what the league's member states would like to see happen in Syria.

It remains unclear what weight, if any, the proposal will carry on the ground.

"The president will delegate his first vice president the full power to work with national unity government to enable it to perform its task in the transitional period," the foreign minister said.

The Arab League will take its initiative, which does not back military intervention in Syria, to the United Nations in a bid to build international support. The organization also said it would extend its monitoring mission in Syria and increase the number of observers there.

The mission was scheduled to end last Thursday. It was not clear whether Syrian officials would accept the offer.

Secretary-General Nabil el-Araby said the Syrian government has not complied with some parts of an Arab League agreement aimed at ending a violent crackdown on protesters. Syrian officials are treating the crisis as a security problem, he said, noting that armed opposition factions controlling some areas made it difficult for observers to do their jobs.

But Arab League monitors have seen some aspects of the situation improve, he said.

"The presence of the Arab monitors provided security to opposition parties, which held an increase in number of peaceful protests ... in the areas where the monitors were present," el-Araby said.

Before el-Araby's statement, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said his nation planned to withdraw its members of the observer team, according to an Arab League official. Prince Saud al-Faisal told Arab League foreign ministers that "Syria did not comply with the Arab resolution plan," according to the Arab League official, who asked to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Earlier Sunday, a five-nation committee led by Qatar requested a one-month extension of the mission from the foreign ministers of the league's 22 member states.

The committee made its request after reviewing a report submitted by Sudanese Lt. Gen. Mohammad Ahmad al-Dabi, head of the league's monitoring mission in Syria.

Before leaving Damascus for the meeting in Cairo, al-Dabi said the mission of the monitoring group is "not to stop the killing and violence in Syria but to investigate the Syrian government's execution of the article of the Arab plan aimed at solving the Syrian crisis."

The Arab League has called on President al-Assad's regime to stop violence against civilians, free political detainees, remove tanks and weapons from cities and allow outsiders, including the international news media, to travel freely in Syria.

Senior Arab League diplomats said the Syrian government has not accepted or rejected the possibility of a one-month extension.

Some worry the observers haven't been allowed to see the full situation in Syria.

"The Arab monitors indicated that the regime did not follow protocol, did not release the detainees, did not remove all military tanks, did not allow press to travel freely, did not recognize even once the peaceful protests, and the massacre of Idlib yesterday is proof of that. The regime let down the Arab League, and Arab nations have the responsibility to respond," said Burhan Ghalioun, head of the opposition Syrian National Council.

He spoke to reporters in Cairo following the Arab League announcement, calling for the protection of civilians in Syria, describing U.N. cooperation as vital, and stressing the need for Al-Assad to resign.

"Any serious entrance of an interim period must start with al-Assad announcing his stepping down," he said.

The presence of Arab League monitors in the country hasn't quelled daily reports of deadly violence.

At least 59 people were found dead across Syria on Saturday, according to the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, an opposition activist group.

They include 30 unidentified corpses found at the National Hospital in Idlib and at least 16 dead from a bus explosion in Idlib province, in northwestern Syria..

CNN cannot confirm the claims by opposition groups of violence and deaths, as Syria's government has limited access by foreign journalists.

For more than 10 months, Syria has been engulfed by an anti-government public uprising and a brutal security crackdown against protesters. The United Nations last month estimated well over 5,000 deaths since mid-March. Opposition groups estimate more than 6,000 people have died.

While activists blame the violence on al-Assad's regime, the government says terrorists have been responsible for the bloodshed.

CNN's Salma Abdelaziz, Joe Sterling and Samira Said contributed to this report.

To Mars, Russia Ready to Join US-European

2011-12-14T19:40:00.002+07:00

Russia could provide a Proton rocket to launch missions to Mars.
Russia ready to become a full partner in the mission of exploration to be held by the United States and Europe. According to Franco Bonacina, spokesman for the European Space Agency, senior officials of NASA, ESA, and the Russian space agency Roscosmos agreed to discuss the issue.

Quoted from United Press International, December 10, 2011, Alvaro Gimenez Canete, ESA Director of Science has met with Charles Gay, Associate Administrator of NASA and Anatoly Shilov, Deputy Head Roscosmos at ESA headquarters in Paris.

Bonacina said the meeting was 'ends with optimism' that Russia could provide a Proton rocket to launch missions to Mars, led by Europe in 2016. In return, Russia will gain full membership in the exploration project.

Previously, the ESA ExoMars mission faces major obstacles due to funding reductions made by NASA.

Oleg Korablyov, Deputy Director of the Space Research Institute Russian states, scientists from the country are very interested to join the project and at the same time accelerate the development of a research program to Mars country. This step can also cut costs.

As is known, Russia 17 independent effort to study the planet Mars since 1960 has always failed to be implemented. (eh)

Beautifull Place - Kuta Beach, Love Bali

2011-12-14T19:28:00.000+07:00

Kuta Beach bustles with tourists vendors and locals. It's the most popular beach in Bali and the island's number one party zone.

Rapid development and an influx of visitors hasn't kept the surfers away and Kuta still remains one of Bali's best surfing beaches and a great place to enjoy the beach life.

While the surfers are still part of the Kuta scene, it's the shopping, nightlife and party vibes that attracts thousands of visitors. There's a huge choice of accommodation, restaurants and entertainment; so if you want to be within walking distance of a cool beach lifestyle by day and party by night - this is place.

WHERE TO STAY IN KUTA BEACH

Over the years Kuta development has spread out - almost absorbing the neighbouring villages of Legian and Tuban which now provide a quieter alternative to Kuta central.

New hotel developments, guest houses and resorts fill every available space, yet almost all amenities are within walking distance or a short taxi ride. Seminyak, once a quiet local village, on the fringes of Kuta, has now become the smart sophisticated end, with fine dining and numerous local lifestyle shops.

THE BEACH

Relax.. on Bali's longest public beach. Hang out, sunbathe, eat, drink, play a game of volleyball or a challenge beach football match. Meet locals and other visitors and watch a stunning sunset over a perfect sundowner. Kuta basically offers 5 kilometres of hotels, bars, Internet cafes, juice bars, surf shops, restaurants, travel agencies and mini-marts. It can be (depending on the time of day and which end of the beach you prefer) busy and vibrant or totally chilled out.

WHAT TO DO IN KUTA BEACH

Around the end of Jalan Double Six, about 15 minutes from Kuta centre is Dreamland Beach. Lots of afternoon action and ball games, with plenty of drinks stands to make new (girl) friends. No shortage of bars and places to eat with some excellent places to chill and drink like Zanzibar and Blue Ocean.

Surfing! Bring your own board or rent one from the guys on the beach. Prices vary but average around 30,000rp per hour. If you haven't surfed before its the perfect place to learn. You can get a boat ride out to the outer reef breaks of Tuban or surf mellow beach breaks in front of the Hard Rock Hotel.

KUTA BEACH NIGHT LIFE

uta's nightlife now extends about 7 kilometres (4 miles) north from the original village of Kuta and includes Legian, Seminyak stretching to Basangkasa. Kuta is entertainment central which means music clubs, open-air pubs, karaoke bars, very noisy discos and drag shows. It's a lively party scene to say the least and the kind of place where being single and alone - male or female is no problem whatsoever.

Kuta has a huge selection of restaurants serving both local and a wide variety of foreign cuisines.

SHOPPING IN KUTA

Shopping! Forget your Gucci's and Prada. Bali has its own designers producing one-off pieces for fashion clothing and lifestyle goods. Lots of individuality here at often reasonable prices. You'll end up with a treasure trove of interesting, fascinating and irresistible buys. Excellent for unusual clothes, jewellry, household and lifestyle items. Kuta's main street has renowned shopping, in mostly small locally owned shops. Individual styles, excellent craftsmanship and low prices.

GETTING AROUND KUTA BEACH

Kuta and neighbouring Legian and Seminyak are easy to walk around. Often you'll find yourself browsing the shops at one of town and before you realise it, you're already at the other end! Failing that it's easy and relatively cheap to take taxis. Negotiate first.

10 Most Amazing Temples in the World

2011-12-14T19:25:00.000+07:00

More than a quarter of all people in the world belong to Eastern religions, which include Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Taoism. These people worship in temples, which are architecturally as diverse as the religions are different from each other. From the ancient ruins of Ankor Wat to the distinctly modern Wat Rong Khun, there are hundreds if not thousands of amazing temples in the world.
I have long been fascinated by the temples and sacred sites of Eastern religions. After doing an article on some amazing churches from around the world (10 Divinely Designed Churches), it’s only right that we do a follow up on the ten most fascinating temples in Asia. Here they are, in no particular order:

Tiger’s Nest Monastery

Tiger’s Nest Monastery, perched precariously on the edge of a 3,000-feet-high cliff in Paro Valley, is one of the holiest places in Bhutan. Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche [wiki], the second Buddha, flew onto the cliff on the back of a tigress, and then meditated in a cave which now exists within the monastery walls.
The monastery, formally called Taktshang Goemba, was built in 1692 and reconstructed in 1998 after a fire. Now, the monastery is restricted to practicing Buddhists on religious retreats and is off-limits to ordinary tourists.

Wat Rong Khun

Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai, Thailand is unlike any Buddhist temples in the world. The all-white, highly ornate structure gilded in mosaic mirrors that seem to shine magically, is done in a distinctly contemporary style. It is the brainchild of renowned Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat.
Actually, the temple is still under construction. Chalermchai expects it will take another 90 years to complete, making it the Buddhist temple equivalent of the Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona, Spain!

Prambanan

Prambanan is a Hindu temple in Central Java, Indonesia. The temple was built in 850 CE, and is composed of 8 main shrines and 250 surrounding smaller ones.

Nearly all the walls of the temple are covered in exquisite bas relief carvings, which narrate stories of Vishnu’s incarnations, adventures of Hanuman the Monkey King, the Ramayana [wiki] epic and other legends.

Though not the biggest temple in Indonesia (Borobudur is larger – see below), Prambanan makes up in beauty and grace for what it lacks in size.

Shwedagon Pagoda

No one knows exactly when the Shwedagon Paya [wiki] (or Pagoda) in Myanmar was built – legend has it that it is 2,500 years old though archaeologists estimate that it was built between the 6th and 10th century.

Now, when people say "golden temple" they usually mean that the structure is golden in color. But when it comes to the Shwedagon Pagoda, golden literally means covered in gold! In the 15th century, a queen of the Mon people donated her weight in gold to the temple. This tradition continues until today, where pilgrims often save for years to buy small packets of gold leafs to stick to the temple walls.

As if all that gold wasn’t enough, the spire of the stupa or dome is covered with over 5,000 diamonds and 2,000 rubies (there’s even a 76 carat diamond at the very tip!). And oh, the temple housed one of the holiest relics in Buddhism: eight strands of Buddha’s hair.

Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven [wiki] is a Taoist temple in Beijing, the capital of China. The temple was constructed in 14th century by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty (who also built the Forbidden City) as his personal temple, where he would pray for good harvest and to atone for the sins of his people.

The Temple’s architecture is quite interesting: everything in the temple, which represents Heaven, is circular whereas the ground levels, which represent the Earth, are square.

Chion-in Temple

Chion-in Temple [wiki] was built in 1234 CE to honor the founder of Jodo (Pure Land) Buddhism, a priest named Honen, who fasted to death in the very spot. At one point in time, the complex had 21 buildings but due to earthquakes and fire, the oldest surviving building is from the 17th century.

Visitors to the Chion-in Temple must first pass through the largest gate in Japan: the two-story San-mon Gate. The temple bell is also a record setter: it weighs 74 tons and needs 17 monks to ring it during the New Year celebrations.

Another interesting feature of the Chion-in Temple is the "singing" floor of the Assembly Hall. Called a uguisu-bari or nightingale floor, the wooden planks were designed to creak at every footstep to alert the monks of intruders!

Borobudur

In the 19th century, Dutch occupiers of Indonesia found a massive ancient ruin deep in the jungles of Java. What they discovered was the complex of Borobudur, a gigantic structure built with nearly 2 million cubic feet (55,000 m³) of stones. The temple has nearly 2,700 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.

Until today, no one knows for sure when and why it was built, nor the reason for its complete abandonment hundreds of years ago. Some scholars believe that Borobudur is actually a giant textbook of Buddhism, as its bas reliefs tell the story of the life of Buddha and the principles of his teachings. To "read," a pilgrim must make his way through nine platforms and walk a distance of over 2 miles.

Golden Temple

The Harmandir Sahib (meaning The Abode of God) or simply the Golden Temple [wiki] in Punjab, India is the most sacred shrine of Sikhism. For the Sikhs, the Golden Temple symbolizes infinite freedom and spiritual independence.

The site of the Temple began with a small lake that was so peaceful that even Buddha came there to meditate. Thousands of years later, Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism also lived and meditate by the lake.

Construction of the Golden Temple began in the 1500s, when the fourth Guru of Sikhism enlarged the lake that became Amritsar or Pool of the Nectar of Immortality, around which the temple and the city grew. The Temple itself is decorated with marble sculptures, gilded in gold, and covered in precious stones.

Vishnu Temple of Srirangam

The Temple of Srirangam (Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple [wiki]), in the Indian city of Tiruchirapalli (or Trichy), is the largest functioning Hindu temple in the world (Ankor Wat is the largest of all temple, but it is currently non-functioning as a temple – see below).

The temple is dedicated to Vishnu, one of three Gods in Hinduism. Legend has it that a long time ago, a sage rested and put down a statue of Vishnu reclining on a great serpent. When he was ready to resume his journey, he discovered that the statue couldn’t be moved, so a small temple was built over it. Over centuries, the temple "grew" as larger ones were built over the existing buildings.

The temple complex is massive: it encompasses an area of over 150 acres (63 hectares) with seven concentric walls, the outermost being about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) long! The walls demarcate enclosures within enclosures, each more sacred than the next, with the inner-most enclosure is forbidden to non-Hindus.

The Temple of Srirangam is famous for its gopurams or entrances beneath colorful pyramids. The temple has 21 gopurams total, with the largest one having 15 stories and is nearly 200 feet (60 m) tall.

Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, and Bayon

Last but definitely not least is the largest temple in history and the inspiration to countless novels and action movies of Hollywood: Ankor Wat.

Angkor Wat [wiki] was built in the early 12th century in what is now Cambodia. The world famous temple was first a Hindu one, dedicated to Vishnu. In the 14th or 15th century, as Buddhism swept across Asia, it became a Buddhist temple.

The Western world’s got a glimpse of Angkor Wat when a 16th century Portuguese monk visited the temple and eloquently described it as "of such extraordinary construction that it is not possible to describe it with a pen, particularly since it is like no other building in the world. It has towers and decoration and all the refinements which the human genius can conceive of." His words still rang true today.

Tourists visiting Angkor Wat usually also visit the nearby ruins of Angkor Thom and Bayon [wiki], two fantastic temples that serve as the ancient capital of Khmer empire.

Bonus:

Here are some more amazing temples and sacred places that just couldn’t fit in the list above:

Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple

Potala Palace [wiki], built on top of the Red Mountain in Lhasa, Tibet, China was built by the first emperor of Tibet in 637 CE. The current palace was re-constructed in the mid-1600s by the fifth Dalai Lama.

The Palace consists of two main buildings, the Potrang Karpo (White Palace) and Portrang Marpo (Red Palace). It was the chief home of the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama until he was forced to flee to India when China invaded Tibet in 1959. It is now a state museum.

Jokhan Temple [wiki] is the spiritual center of Lhasa and is considered the most important and sacred temple in Tibet. The temple was built in 642 CE and has since housed the single most venerated object in Tibetan Buddhism: a statue of Gautama Buddha [wiki], the founder of Buddhism.

The city of Lhasa has three concentric paths that pilgrims use to walk to Jokhang Temple. Many actually prostrate themselves along these routes in order to gain spiritual merit!

Varanasi

Varanasi in India is not a temple, but ais ctually a famous Hindu holy city, located at the banks of the Ganges River. It is, however, often called the "City of Temples," where almost every road crossing has a nearby temple. A center of pilgrimage (as many as a million pilgrims visit Varanasi each year), the city has links to Buddhism and Jainism as well.

Let me be the first to acknowledge that this list is woefully incomplete. There are countless amazing temples, monasteries, and sacred places of Eastern religions scattered throughout Asia.

If your favorite temple is not included, it is not a slight – I welcome your suggestion in the comment section below.

Found By Satellite: New 17 Pyramids in Egypt!

2011-12-14T19:18:00.001+07:00

17 Lost Egyptian Pyramids Discovered With Satellite Technologies
Seventeen Egyptian pyramids lost in the earth, can now be found using the latest satellite.
With the new satellite could also reveal more than 1,000 ancient tombs and 3,000 settlements by using infrared rays that can penetrate buildings telescoped underground.
Further excavation is now underway on a number of findings including the two alleged pyramid building.
Pyramid of Saqqara, an estimated older than the Giza. (Courtesy: AFP)

"Digging a pyramid is a dream for all archaeologists," said Dr. Sarah Parcak.
He was a pioneer archaeological using space technology from a Nasa lab in Birmingham, Alabama, and said it was surprised at this discovery.
An infrared satellite image shows a buried pyramid, located at the center of the box shine.
This system works through a satellite orbiting 700km above the Earth, equipped with a powerful camera that can take pictures of objects with a diameter of less than 1 meter above ground.
Infrared photography is used to distinguish the material below the soil surface.
Trial ExcavationCitizens of the ancient Egyptians built their homes with structures made of mud brick, which is more dense than surrounding soil, so the form of houses, temples and tombs can be seen.
"This shows how easy it is to underestimate both the size and scale of ancient human settlements," said Dr. Parcak. And he sure will see more of the other findings in this technology.
The buried pyramid visible from satellites. An infra-red satellite image shows a buried pyramid, located in the center of the highlight box
"This is a site that is close to the surface. There are thousands more are covered by the silt of the Nile. Pekerjaam this new beginning. "
In the documentary Egypt's Lost Cities, the BBC went with the team of Dr. Parcak visit Saqqara area where local authorities were not initially interested in his invention.
But after Dr. Parcak explained that she discovered the existence of pyramids in the area, they then perform test excavations, and now they believe that it is one of the most important archaeological sites of Egypt.
But Dr Parcak said "The most exciting event was when visiting the excavations at Tanis."
"They dug a 3,000-year-old house that has a form identical to that described by satellite infrared. It is a validation of the technology. "
Infrared image (right) shows a pattern of streets and houses in the ancient city of Tanis
Now, the Egyptian authorities are planning to use technology to protect the antiquities in the future. Because this time the thieves targeted a number of famous archaeological sites.
"We could use an image that was stolen from the funeral of a specific time period and we can ask Interpol to oversee the antiquities of that period that may be offered on the illegal market."
Dr Parcak also expects the new technology could encourage young people to be more interested in science and provide a tool for archaeologists in the world.
"It makes us become more focused and selective in the work we do. Because when dealing with large sites, you do not know where to begin. "
"This is an important tool to focus on the excavation site. This gives us a greater perspective on archaeological sites. We must think bigger and was aided by satellite. "(Bbc.co.uk)

How to interview well

2011-12-14T19:09:00.000+07:00

How to interview well is something most of the job seekers never learn in their life. People believe that once they have studied at the right school, accounted for few years of professional experience and read the news on the company website, they already know how to interview well.
However, this is as far from truth as it only can be. To interview well is not only about being the right match for the job. It is more about understanding what the other person expects from you and how to make him enthusiastic about you in the interview. In fact, how to interview well is not that easy at all to be honest.
Firstly, you have to pay attention to things that are well known among the job seekers (although just the minority does it). Let’s have a look at it:

Have a good sleep and a good meal before the interview – it is important to be physically ready. Only if you feel good and all your needs are satisfied, you will be able to concentrate fully on the interview.
Choose the appropriate interview attire – it is important to dress like you were going to the job, and simply represent someone working on a role you want to get.
To be armed with information about the company, mostly it’s visions, goals coupled with achievements and history.
Check some common interview questions and answers, so you will be better prepared for the interview.

But this is just the very beginning and not the answer to the question how to interview well. Well is the synonym to the best, isn’t it? So how to interview really well?

You should come to the interview room full of energy, enthusiasm and motivation. The energy must be sparkling from your body, there must be this sparkle in your eyes. From the first moment they must see and feel your determination and enthusiasm about the job.
You should be the best communication partner the interviewer has met in last couple of months. Listen carefully to what he is talking. Give him lots of questions to the point. Smile and look into his eyes. Let him to lead the meeting and to feel important. That’s the way he will like you as his colleague.
Do not waste time of anyone. Speak to the point, speak about the job and things that are relevant. Do not waste neither yours, nor recruiters time. People who waste someone’s time in the interview, will also waste time in work! Just think about it.
Follow up your job interview. Once you left the room, the interview is not finished yet. To send a follow up email or thank you note is going to take you five minutes. But the difference it can make for you at the end of the day is significant. Make them to remember you!

How to interview well is something most people will never learn. But that is good for you. That is good for people like you who read this article and take action. Interview well and get the job!

15 Tips to Increase Blog Traffic

2011-12-14T19:06:00.000+07:00

The blogosphere is a big and busy world with over 100 million blogs and growing. How do you attract visitors to your blog? Follow these simple tips to drive traffic to your blog.

1. Write Well and Write Often

Frequently updating your blog with useful content is the first step to building your blog's audience. The content you write is what will keep readers coming back for more. Make sure you have something meaningful to say to them and say it often to maintain their interest and keep them loyal.
Furthermore, post frequently to increase the number of chances you have for your blog's content to be noticed by search engines such as Google or Technorati.

2. Submit Your Blog to Search Engines

Get on the radar screen for the popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo! by submitting your blog's URL to them. Most search engines provide a 'Submit' link (or something similar) to notify the search engine of your new blog, so those search engines will crawl it and include your pages in their results.
It's important to understand that simply submitting your blog to search engines doesn't mean your pages will appear at the top of a Google search results screen, but at least your blog will be included and will have the chance of being picked up by a search engine.

3. Use and Update Your Blogroll

By adding links to sites you like in your blogroll, the owners of those blogs will find your blog and will be likely to add a reciprocal link in their blogrolls. It's an easy way to get the link to your blog in front of many readers on other blogs. The hope is that some of those readers will click on the link to your blog on the other blogs' blogrolls and find your content interesting and enjoyable turning them into loyal readers.

4. Harness the Power of Comments

Commenting is a simple and essential tool to increase your blog's traffic. First, respond to comments left on your blog to show your readers that you value their opinions and draw them into a two-way conversation. This will increase reader loyalty.
Second, leave comments on other blogs to drive new traffic. Make sure you leave your blog's URL in your comment, so you create a link back to your own blog. Many people will read the comments left on a blog post. If they read a particularly interesting comment, they are highly likely to click on the link to visit the commentor's website. It's important to make sure you leave meaningful comments that are likely to invite people to click on your link to read more.

5. Syndicate Your Blog's Content with an RSS Feed

Setting up an RSS feed button on your blog makes it easy for your loyal readers to not just read your blog but also know when you publish new content.

6. Use Links and Trackbacks

Links are one of the most powerful parts of your blog. Not only are links noticed by search engines, but they also act as a tap on the shoulder to other bloggers who can easily identify who is linking to their sites. Linking helps to get you noticed by other bloggers who are likely to investigate the sites that are linking to them. This may lead them to become new readers of your blog or to add links to your blog from theirs.
You can take links to other blogs a step further by leaving a trackback on the other blog to let them know you've linked to them. Blogs that allow trackbacks will include a link back to your blog in the comments section of the post that you originally linked to. People do click on trackback links!

7. Tag Your Posts

It takes a few extra seconds to add tags to each of your blog posts, but it's worth the time in terms of the additional traffic tags can drive to your blog. Tags (like links) are easily noticed by search engines. They're also key to helping readers find your blog when they perform searches on popular blog search engines such as Technorati.

8. Submit Your Posts to Social Bookmarking Sites

Taking the time to submit your best posts to social bookmarking sites such as Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit and more can be a simple way to quickly boost traffic to your blog.

9. Remember Search Engine Optimization

When you write your blog posts and pages, remember to optimize your pages for search engines to find them. Include relevant keywords and links but don't overload your posts with too many relevant keywords or completely irrelevant keywords. Doing so can be considered spamming and could have negative results such as your blog being removed from Google's search entirely.

10. Don't Forget Images

Images don't just make your blog look pretty, they also help people find you in search engine listings. People often use the image search options offered by Google, Yahoo! and other search engines, and naming your images with search engine optimization in mind can easily boost your traffic.

11. Consider Guest Blogging

Guest blogging can be done when you write a guest post on another blogger's blog or when another blogger writes a guest post on your blog. Both methods are likely to increase traffic as your blog will be exposed to the other blogger's audience. Many of the other blogger's readers will visit your blog to see what you have to say.

12. Join Forums, Web Rings or Online Groups

Find online forums, web rings, groups or social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn where you can share ideas and ask questions of like-minded individuals. Add a link to your blog in your signature line or profile, so each time you post on a forum or participate in another online network, you're indirectly promoting your blog. Chances are many people will click on that link to learn more about you.

13. Promote Outside Your Blog

Promoting your blog shouldn't stop when you step outside the blogosphere. Add your blog's URL to your email signature and business cards. Talk about it in offline conversations. It's important to get your name and your blog's URL noticed offline, too.

14. Nominate Yourself and Other Blogs for Blog Awards

There are a number of blog awards given out throughout the year. Nominating yourself and other blogs and bloggers can draw attention to your blog and drive traffic to it.

15. Don't Be Shy

The most important part of the blogosphere is its community and much of your success as a blogger will be tied to your willingness to network with that community. Don't be afraid to ask questions, join conversations or just say hi and introduce yourself. Don't sit back and hope the online world will find you. Speak out and get yourself noticed. Let the blogosphere know you've arrived and have something to say!

Earth Pyramid Launches on 11/11/11

2011-12-14T18:53:00.000+07:00

While the Great Pyramid closes for the 11/11/11, the Earth Pyramid project launches.

The Earth Pyramid Project is a truly ambitious project with noble aims. The goal is to get the world thinking about the future of the planet and to bring together the different governments, schools and other groups to discuss these global issues.
The pyramid will function as a time capsule into which children from participating schools from around the world will be putting messages.

One of the time capsules

The building of the pyramid will be the perfect opportunity to try out some of the theories of how the pyramids were built. The leveling of the site and alignment of the foundations could be carried out using ancient methods such as sighting the stars, or the sun.
The construction itself could use clever techniques such as the Internal Ramp theory developed by Jean-Pierre Houdin. Thanks to Dassault Systèmes and their 3D software we’ve seen Jean-Pierre’s theory in full 3D using virtual reality. To see a pyramid actually being built from the inside out though would be truly spectacular and move the concept from theory to practice.
By incorporating and combining ancient methods with modern tools and materials perhaps we can learn from the ancients as we strive to educate the future generations.

Pyramids at Giza Close for 11/11/11

The Masonic pyramid on the US $1 note

The pyramids at Giza will be closed today in order to avoid rituals that were planned to be carried out there on the 11/11/11. Atef Abu Zahab, head of the Department of Pharaonic Archaeology said that the decision to close the pyramids only came “after much pressure” from Egyptian Internet users. The “rituals” were referred to by Youm7 in connection to a “Masonic Concert”.

Ali al-Asfar, general manager of the Pyramids at Giza, confirmed the cancellation of the Masonic concert, “11/11,” scheduled for Friday at the Great Pyramid of Khufu.   Asfar told Youm7 that the Supreme Council of Antiquities notified the Ministry of the Interior about the cancellation, and the ministry will cooperate with security forces.  He called on all Egyptians to visit the pyramids Friday to ensure no concert takes place.
  He said the Supreme Council of Antiquities did not receive fees from the concert organizing company, and it would not retract its cancellation.

The Supreme Council of Antiquities has confirmed the closure of the the pyramids at Giza but made no mention of any planned rituals, instead referring to necessary maintenance after a busy period.
It seems the pressure came from more than just “Egyptian Internet users” with ten revolutionary coalitions calling for Friday prayers to be held on the Giza Plateau in protest on the officially approved Masonic ceremony:

The coalitions involved are the Revolution of Free Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood and Upper Egypt, who will coordinate with a number of public activists and figures. Statements from the Supreme Council of Antiquities and Giza Governorate have both stated the Masonic ceremony has been completely cancelled.  The coalitions reported in a statement that Jews have some beliefs that the date, 11-11-2011, will never be repeated, and that some think the world will end on this day. It is also said to be a watershed day in the Masonic and Jews’ lives.  The coalitions also reported that the attendants of the ceremony will surround the pyramid in a Star of David shape and put a diamond of the same shape at the top of the pyramid.

Source: Youm7
Ahram reported the planned event at the pyramids was a meditation “ceremony of love” aimed at saving the earth from cosmic threats.

According to the president of DAR SWIATOWIDA, Andrzej Wojcikiewicz, the pyramid’s energy would be strengthened and through the installation of two interpenetrated pyramid-shaped crystals, produced in India out of mountain crystal, inside the granite sarcophagus found in the king’s burial chamber inside the pyramid.
The special day of 11-11-2011, Wojcikiewicz said, is a unique opportunity for people from all over the world to join in meditation in order to send the energy of love towards Egypt, towards the Great Pyramid, and towards earth.
“This will be a global meditation to help Mother Earth, to help in protecting the earth and its people against further escalation of violence and cataclysms as well as for spiritual awakening,” he explains.
According to DAR SWIATOWIDA’s event website, entitled Cheops Project, on 11 November there would be two ceremonies at Giza Plateau from 11:00am to midnight.
The morning ceremony will be inside the king’s chamber of the Great Pyramid where a man and a woman described as “Human Angels” will place the crystal pyramid in the sarcophagus on two golden bars supported by four granite cubes.
The golden bars are inscribed with a verse saying “Man doesn’t live by bread alone.”
(…)
When Egyptologists got to know about the ceremony, which got the SCA’s approval, they rose up in arms against the event.
Some Egyptologists see that it is a childish game that insults a distinguished symbol of Egyptian civilisation, while others feel it is an expression of Jewish masonic belief that they are the pyramids’ builders and not the ancient Egyptians, despite the fact that during the 1990s Hawass and his team stumbled upon the pyramid builders’ cemetery at the Giza Plateau.
Ali Radwan, head of the Arab Archaeologists Union, told Ahram Online that the SCA should refuse the event and not provide opportunity to all and sundry to practice rituals at the foot of the Great Pyramid.
“Similar events were rejected before by the SCA during previous tenures,” Radwan asserted.
(…)
The brouhaha created led SCA Secretary General Mostafa Amin to cancel the event, sending a press release late last night confirming the cancellation. In the release, Amin asserted that the event was not organised by a Jewish Masonic organisation but a Polish organisation that sent a request to the SCA to hold meditation event at the Giza pyramids. The request, the release said, was being studied by legal consultants as well as security authorities.
“Due to rumours spread and the brouhaha created, that the event has religious aspects, the whole event has been cancelled,” the release said.

This has surely got to put further strain on the already suffering tourism industry in Egypt with the sudden decision to cancel the private tours that had been previously given official permission a year ago. These people have already paid for flights, accommodation, etc and have travelled to Egypt from all over the world specifically for this event. Tour operators and agencies must be nervous about such a decision and the prospects of future tours being cancelled.
A short statement appeared today on the Projekt Cheops website:

The Ceremony planed for November 11, 2011 at Gizah Plateau is cancelled due to security concerns. All three Pyramids will be closed during that day in spite of the fact that about 2000 tourists from all over the world wanted to participate at the evening event.

New Electronic Ticket System for Giza

A new electronic ticket system to enter the Giza Plateau was scheduled to begin operating Monday after a series of successful experiments in collaboration with the Ministry of Defense.
  

The system mechanically automates ticket-selling to those visiting the Giza Plateau. It is hoped that the new system will make visitor entry more organised.
The new tickets have pictures of the Pyramids on them and come in two different colors: red for local Egyptian visitors and dark blue for foreign tourists, or “non-Arabs”. There was no indication whether these new tickets would come with an increase in the entry fee.
Al-Ahram added that the Mina House entrance will be restricted to large groups and families leaving the other entrance near the Sphinx for the bulk of visitors to enter the Giza plataue, home of the Great Pyramid.
Electronic ticketing system put in place at Pyramids
Entry to pyramids area to be mechanized
Starting tomorrow, entrance to pyramids using electronic tickets

Illegal Road Built North of Abusir

I’ve received a report from Maryanne Stroud Gabbani, who lives in Egypt, of an illegal road being built through the desert north of Abu Sir. Maryanne included many photos of the new road as well as some sensitive areas that are being quarried.
Rubbish is also being dumped in the area. Trucks are dumping here illegally rather than pay the fee to use the Giza dump. The governorate has no one checking to ensure that trucks don’t do this.
Maryanne writes:

In 13 years the plateau at the top of the hill has been taken away for construction materials. The Army (and I also hear the Antiquities authorities) have been in the habit of taking enormous bribes (like hundreds of thousands of LE a week) from the miners to allow them to take the sand away without authorization or supervision.

Show picture list

Maryanne continues with some good news sent the next day:

I talked today to one of the members of the clan who run this area and there was a family council last night wherein the offending members were taken to task. I was told that they would probably be leaving the clay road in place but wouldn’t be quarrying or using it. The clay happens to be tofla which when mixed with vinegar makes an effective poultice for horse legs, so I expect it to be harvested in pretty short order.

Grand Egyptian Museum Moves Into Third Phase

The Grand Egyptian Museum

The third phase of the construction of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is moving forward and the GEM Committee is preparing a shortlist of companies from Spain, Brussels, Italy and Egypt proposed in the bid.

Mohamed Abdel Maqsoud supervisor of the GEM pointed out that the first and second phases of the GEM project have been completed and included construction of the labs, storehouses, power station and fire fighting unite.
He told Al-Ahram Online that until now 10,000 objects were transferred to the GEM from archaeological galleries all over Egypt and before the opening of the museum set for March 2015, the other 80,000 objects will be transferred.

State of (Dis)Repair of the Step Pyramid

Another update on the state of (dis)repair of the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara:

Mohammed Abdel Fattah, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, inspected the ongoing renovations at the step pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara with General Mohammed el-Sheikha, head of the developments unit of the council Monday.
Abdel Fattah said that the pyramid is stable and there is no need to be concerned. He went onto say that the renovation company is fulfilling it duties and there are no obstacles to completion or issues with the already-appropriated three million EGP (U.S. $503,000) budget.

Restoration of Egypt’s Oldest Pyramid

Cintec prepare to enter the pyramid

There has been another development in the controversy of the halt to the restoration efforts on Djoser’s Step Pyramid at Saqqara.

The restrictions to the Supreme Council of Antiquities’ budget have resulted in a cessation of payments to Cintec, the company carrying out these restorations to the inner chambers of the pyramid.

Labelled as “media rumours”, this news has recently been investigated by the SCA:

Media rumours too have taken their toll. It was claimed that delays in processing payment to companies carrying out restoration work on both projects had led to work being neglected. Blocks in inner chambers of Djoser’s Step Pyramid were falling, while some pieces in the collection of Alexandria’s Graeco-Roman Museum that had been moved further along the coast to the Marina archaeological galleries were deteriorating because of poor storage conditions.
To make sure of the credibility of these claims published in newspapers, Mohamed Abdel-Maqsoud, secretary-general of the SCA, sent two archaeological and technical committees to inspect the status of both monuments. The team sent to Saqqara was led by the restoration project’s engineering consultant. Hassan Fahmi, who checked the condition of the pyramid and saw that it was still in a consolidated condition, but concluded that the restoration work must be resumed immediately in order to protect the structure of the oldest pyramid in history.
The committee also decided to provide funds to resume the restoration work and to begin immediate payment by installment to the company in charge of the work, the first instalment of which would be LE3 million.
Abdel-Maqsoud told Al-Ahram Weekly that he would make the required funds available either from the small revenue of the SCA or from the government.
“This restoration phase is the most crucial for the fate of Djoser’s Step Pyramid,” he told the Weekly.
“The preservation of Egypt’s monuments is the SCA’s top priority. We will work hard to provide the financial resources, despite the economic circumstances we are facing,” he added. “We do not want the world and history one day to hold us to account for neglecting the ancient structure.”
Samir Abdel-Raouf, head of the restoration project, said that if the restoration work did not resume immediately then some blocks of the pyramid roof could become detached. “These stones were given a temporary fix by using a pillow of air, but this required an immediate follow- up to avoid any sudden and unexpected fall of a block. The pyramid was in a really dreadful state before restoration began.”
The deterioration of the pyramid was due to climatic effects, environmental erosion factors and the leakage of subterranean water, not to mention the 1992 earthquake. The restoration plan includes consolidating the pyramid’s underground tunnels, monitoring the cracks, restoring the wall decorations and inspecting the natural ventilation inside the pyramid and the southern tomb.
A year ago a structural repair and reinforcement system was put into practise. This involved a temporary structural support in preparation for more permanent reinforced steel rods to be inserted diagonally through the steps of the pyramid knitting together the six levels.

The Big Bang Theory season 5 episode 11 torrent

2011-12-07T19:42:00.001+07:00

The Big Bang Theory season 5 episode 11, The Big Boom theory will be the current cosmological model that describes earlier continuing development of the particular Universe. Based on the Large Boom theory, the actual World once was in a really very hot and dense express which extended speedily. This particular quick development brought on your younger Universe to chill along with resulted in it's present consistently growing condition. In line with the most recent dimensions and also observations, this glorious express existed roughly 12.Seven billion in years past, that is deemed the era of the particular World and also the occasion the Big Beat transpired. After the preliminary enlargement from a singularity, the actual Whole world cooled down completely to allow energy to become converted into numerous subatomic contaminants. It might acquire millenia for a few of those allergens (protons, neutrons, and also electrons) to mix as well as type atoms, the basis of make any difference. The initial aspect created was hydrogen, in addition to remnants of helium along with lithium. Sooner or later, clouds associated with hydrogen would likely coalesce by means of gravitational forces to make megastars, as well as the bulkier aspects could be synthesized either inside stars or perhaps throughout supernovae The Big Bang Theory season 5 episode 11 torrent.

The Big Hammer is really a well-tested clinical concept which is widely acknowledged inside scientific group which is essentially the most exact as well as extensive explanation for the complete selection of phenomena astronomers view. Considering that its pregnancy, ample facts offers arisen to increase authenticate the particular design.Georges Lemaître very first offered what would become the Large Hammer theory of what he named his or her "hypothesis of the primeval atom.Inches Over time, experts would build on his original tricks to make up the modern-day activity The Big Bang Theory season 5 episode 11 torrent. The particular framework to the Huge Bang style relies on Albert Einstein's common relativity and on simplifying assumptions (including homogeneity and also isotropy associated with area). The particular ruling equations ended up developed by Alexander Friedmann. In 1929, Edwin Hubble found out that your distances to a long way away galaxies had been generally proportional with their redshifts-an idea at first proposed simply by Lemaître inside 1927. Hubble's declaration was taken up indicate that every quite distant universe and also clusters offer an evident velocity immediately from our standpoint: the particular further absent, the higher the evident rate.

In the event the range among universe groupings will be escalating these days, every little thing have to have been recently closer with each other in the past. This concept continues to be considered in detail back in its history in order to extreme densities as well as conditions, and large chemical accelerators are actually created to experiment on and examination this sort of problems, producing substantial confirmation on this design. Alternatively, these types of accelerators get minimal features in order to probe directly into such higher energy regimes. There is little change proof concerning the complete first immediate in the growth. Hence, the large Boom theory cannot and supply any explanation for this kind of preliminary condition; fairly, the idea details and also points out the typical development from the universe going forward from that point on. The actual witnessed abundances from the lighting factors through the cosmos strongly go with the actual determined prophecies for that enhancement of these elements from fischer processes within the rapidly increasing and also cooling first minutes from the world, while rationally and quantitatively thorough in accordance with Large Boom nucleosynthesis.

James Hoyle can be acknowledged together with coining the definition of Huge Beat throughout a The late 1940's r / c send out. It is widely reported which Hoyle, which popular an alternate "steady state" cosmological model, planned this particular to become pejorative, however Hoyle clearly refused this particular as well as said hello was only an uplifting picture intended to spotlight the gap between your two types. After the discovery in the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1964, and also while its range (i.at the., how much rays calculated at intervals of wavelength) was discovered to check those of energy radiation from the african american body, many professionals had been relatively certain through the data that will some version with the Large Boom scenario must have happened.
