Climbers camping-goats in Morocco

2011-10-27T20:26:00.000-07:00

The goats in trees can be found in Morocco. These goats climb trees to eat the fruit of the Argan tree, which is similar to olives.

The local farmers used to follow the herd, this herd of goats as they move from one tree to another. Not because they want to see this oddity, but rather trying to get the bean seeds from the remaining fruit is usually not part eaten by the goats. Each nut contains 1 to 3 seeds that can be used to make Argan oil and other cosmetic ingredients. This oil has been used by people for hundreds of years, but slowly growing Argan tree is difficult to find due to the wood that is often looted and also induced the goats climbers who ruin it.

For that group of people and organizations trying to trying to save trees by making it a prime location where the tree is grown as a protected area. They also want the world to pay attention to this Argan oil, it tastes delicious and contains anti-aging ingredients will be much sought-after.

However it would be difficult to sell this oil, if in the minds of people who will use it to your face or eat looming oil is obtained from goats leftovers. For a campaign that's designed to prevent the goats climb Argan trees in certain times of the year to let the fruits ripe and fall on its own. The seeds and then collected and processed into oil. So far this plan can work.

Wood sculptures Unique and Fantastic

Sergei Bobkov - a talented sculptor from Krasnoyarsk, Siberia - it took almost 5 months to complete each of his statues. They are made of feathers that are carefully selected and paired one-on-one, as well as pieces of wood and textured hair - which looks almost like a feather and made statues were "alive".

Sergei Bobkov is an artist who holds the patent for the statue made from pieces of wood and for this work he needed 150 thousand splinters of wood from cedar trees. So far he has created 15 original size statue of the types of birds and animals Siberia.

His name is Neo Toilet Bike, a motorcycle-hybird toilets are entirely run using biogas fuel (the process of human waste!). Created by TOTO, Japan's largest toilet manufacturer as part of a campaign to reduce CO2 emissions in the toilets by 50% until 2017.

Believe it or not, we may not realize that all this time searching for alternatives to fossil fuels was probably on the wrong path. Make biodiesel harness the sun, even electric batteries seem to sound complicated, especially now it turns out we can mentenagai vehicle with the principle of completely "call of nature". Biogas technology has long been discovered and has been sounded here, but until he could be a vehicle fuel, this is really fantastic!

Later photographs of the Toilet Bike Neo released in conjunction with the information a tour along the 600 miles in Japan. Human waste-powered vehicles will start perjalananya on October 6, 2011, from headquarters TOTO in Kitakyushu, stop at Nakatsu, and then continued his journey to Kobe, Kyoto, and ended in Tokyo. Although it sounds like a joke, but if this is successful, then this will be enough to change our thinking in the search for alternative energy to fuel vehicles.

Maglev Public Transport System

2011-10-26T18:21:00.000-07:00

http://psipunk.com The pace the urban population and thus the number of vehicles are increasing on city roads, we will have to look for some alternative public transport system to keep up the pace of city life all across the world. Intended towards congested cities that we can foresee in next 10-15 years, the Maglev by British designer Chris Hanley is a public transport system that embarks a brand new way of traveling with new flair of roller coaster like experience, and that too with the safety of an average bus.

Based on the magnetic levitation (maglev), the new means of transportation keeps the city dwellers away from chaotic jams and run along its track, allowing an efficient as well as emission free ride. Suspending above the lanes or streets of the major cities, the new system will use skyscrapers as stations to board and deboard passengers. Rotating the central wing at 360°, thanks to its radical design, this public transport can maneuver around sharp corners, allowing it to move down narrow roads within the cities.

The wings of the system move along the magnetic track, while on the other hand, the two cabins remain completely still, making it safe enough for people to travel without seat belts. In addition, transport concept adds the elements of luxury and first class travel with leather seating and stainless steel framework. Moreover, the white glossy interior adds the sense of an enhanced environment, making the public transport more comfortable and desirable.

Shark Eye One Albino

2011-10-26T18:16:00.000-07:00

Recently discovered species of shark are very rare, believe it or not, this albino shark eyes just one!

Albino shark is 56 cm in length with an eye turn that function properly. Existence of a very rare shark species makes scientists suspect it is never long age in the wild.

Sharks eye defects such as one usually has no alias pigmented Caucasians (albino), had no nostrils, has a lump on his snout, and have abnormalities of the spine.

The white color makes it very easy to recognize by its predators and its tail is not perfect mempersulitnya to swim comfortably. Single eye is located in the middle of snout, its width about 2.6 cm. Shark eyes of one of the other normal sharks.

Black cloud

During spring in Denmark, at approximately one half hour before sunset, flock of European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) that the number could reach more than a million gathered from all over come together to form amazing formations.

This phenomenon is often called the Black Sun, and can be found in early
spring along the marshy land in the western part of Denmark during March to mid April. These birds migrate from the south and spent his time in the pastures for food and sleeping on the grass at night.

The phenomenon of "Relampago del Catatumbo" or "Lightning Catatumbo" is a strange natural phenomenon. Its location at the mouth of the river Catatumbo in Lake Maracaibo (Venezuela), this feneomena tangible thunder or lightning in the sky a height of more than 5 kilometers and occurred during the 140 to 160 nights a year, 10 hours in one night, and as many as 280 times per hour her. This almost permanent storm occurs over the plains of marsh land where rivers flow Catatumbo fill Lake Maracaibo. This phenomenon is thought to be the largest single building in the earth's ozone layer, see the intensity and frequency are high. See the video below:

mystery of Thunderstorms

2011-10-25T19:34:00.001-07:00

Do you know how incredible lightning that lit up the sky? Do you know how much light it emits? Or how much heat it releases?

A flash of lightning is a bright light that formed during electrical discharge in the atmosphere during rain storms. Thunderstorms can occur when the voltage at two separate points in the atmosphere - is still in a cloud, or between the cloud and the ground surface, or between two ground level - to achieve a high level.

A lightning strike average-sized has an energy that can power a 100 watt light bulb for more than 3 months. A bolt of lightning contains an average sized electric force of 20,000 amps. A welding using a 250-400 amps to weld steel. Moving with lightning speed of 150,000 km / sec, or half the speed of light, and 100,000 times faster than sound.

Thunderstorms occur in the form of at least two lightning. At the first clap of negative charge (-) flows from the cloud to the ground. This is not a very bright flash. A number of lightning branching can usually be seen spreading out from the main lightning path. When the lightning strike the ground first, an opposite charge is formed at the point to be snatched and lightning currents both positively charged lightning is formed from the main line directly to the cloud. Two lightning is usually collided about 50 feet above ground level. Short circuit is formed at the meeting point between the cloud and the ground surface, and the result is an electric current is very strong and light flowing from the main lightning's path toward the clouds. Voltage difference on the flow of electricity between the clouds and the ground surface exceeds several million volts.

The Robot Designed For Autistic Children

2011-10-25T18:31:00.000-07:00

A child with autism are known to have a way of thinking and behavior are different. Even normally, because of strange behavior that tends, not infrequently autistic children would be separated from its environment.

A robotics research lab at the University of Southern California, United States, now have to make robots that can serve as a means of communication with autistic children. Robot that is designed specifically for children with autism is named bandit.

Maja Mataric, deputy director of the robotics lab said that autistic children tend to respond well to the robot. It is very rare that they show when they interact with the public.

To ABCNews.com, Mataric said that it had carried out tests on the robot for children with autism. From the results of earlier studies, found that autistic children to interact quite well with the human-shaped robot. They even play with the robot, imitate behavior, and show empathy.

Therefore, it was eager to continue the research. The result, now that they're able to create a software that can analyze the response of children with autism, whether they're interacting with happy or not.

Bandit has a shape that is almost similar to humans. There eyebrows and mouth that can move. In addition there is also a motion sensor which allows it to move forward or backward.

The story of the Panama Canal

2011-10-25T18:25:00.000-07:00

Panama Canal (Panama Canal) is a large canal which is located in the country of Panama, Central America. Panama Canal, better known by the name more clearly, the Panama Canal a canal that cut through the isthmus of Panama along the 82 km, while also splitting the mainland of North America and South America and thus succeeded in linking the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The canal cut travel time of ships because it does not need to rotate through the southern tip of South America. For example, if a ship sailed from New York (U.S. East Coast) headed to San Francisco (U.S. West Coast) and not through the canal was the trip distance to be 22 500 km (14,000 miles), whereas if the use of the canal it was only a 9500 km (6,000 mi) course!

Canal development plan is starting to emerge in the 16th century but only managed to be realized on August 15, 1914. Although construction is plagued with problems such as malaria, yellow fever, landslides, and water shortages, the canal was finally established and has helped hundreds of thousands of ships crossing since the opening, or an average of 12,000 ships per year.

History of Development

The idea of building the Panama Canal was first coined in 1524 by then king of Spain, Charles V. King believes if the isthmus at Panama cleaved it will ease travel royal ships sailing from Ecuador to Peru or vice versa. In the following years, a number of other kingdoms in Europe also expressed the same idea but still hit the technology and resource constraints.

Physical construction of new canal finally managed to start on January 1, 1880. At that time the French Government which was inspired from the success of his engineers, Ferdinand de Lesseps, who had founded the Suez Canal on the African continent, decided to start this project mahasulit. Construction of the canal directly entrusted to the de Lesseps. Unfortunately, as it seemed in a hurry and did not conduct geological and hydrological studies are adequate, the project began to consume a lot of lives and money. Outbreaks of malaria and yellow fever broke out and a large number of workers affected and even death (there were approximately 22,000 people) so the project began to neglect. Equipment made of iron and steel began to rust, some workers raised their hands and return to his country.

Seeing this condition, the French government in 1893 decided to suspend this project. Subsequently in 1898, France lobbied the United States (U.S.) to continue the project. In 1902, the U.S. Senate approved the takeover of this project. In 1904, the U.S. president that time, Theodore Roosevelt, decided to buy the remnants of project equipment from France and continued development of the canal. However, this is done the U.S. after successfully freeing Panama from Colombia. As compensation, the Government of Panama gave the U.S. rights to the canal management.

Construction of the Panama Canal was resumed again! This time through proper preparation and provision of adequate infrastructure. President Theodore Roosevelt appointed George Washington Goethals as project leaders. Old equipment is gradually replaced with new, more sophisticated equipment. In 1914, the Panama Canal project was successfully completed. Two years earlier than the target set on June 1, 1916. Panama Canal finally opened officially on August 15, 1914 which coincided with World War I began in Europe and the first ships that pass was a cargo ship named, Ancon.

In 1930, the Panama Canal enhanced with the creation of artificial lakes as a water reservoir which opened if there was a ship that would pass. It also made some floodgates. After World War II, the people of Panama began to demand the right to manage and otherwise protest the U.S. military presence is becoming more and more. Finally on September 7, 1977, U.S. President, Jimmy Carter and Panamanian President Omar Torrijos signed an agreement that allowed Panama to manage its own canal while still ensuring the neutrality of the region (Neutrality Treaty) and the U.S. were allowed to return anytime. However, the deal was criticized by most Americans. Subsequently, on December 31, 1999, the management handed over entirely to the Panama canal through Panama Canal Authority / Panama Canal Authority (ACP).

Before this handover, the government of Panama has held an international tender for a 25-year container port operation contract which was won by the firm Hutchison Whampoa, a Hong Kong based company owned by tycoon Li Ka Shing who also will embed its stake in Facebook.

Operation Method

Unlike the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal relies on a number of sluice gates and several artificial lakes. From the Bay of Limon in the Atlantic Ocean, the ship enters Gatun Locks sluice gates that lift the boat as high as 26 meters above sea level. A number of small electric locomotive lead or push the ship through the doors of the water. Small boats off the engine and driven, while the big ship is guided but still moves with its own strengths. Giant sluice gates of steel in the rear of the ship was closed and the water in front of the door is opened to drain the water slowly from Lake Gatun. There are three sluice gates to be passed, which raises the ship until it is parallel to the surface of the lake.

The ship then get away from the locomotive power and sail across the lake made it as far as 22 miles or 35 kilometers. This artificial lake was originally a valley of the Chagres River dammed to build a giant Gatun dam. Arriving at the southeastern tip of the ship enters Gatun Lake Gaillard trajectory (gill-yard) whose length is 13 kilometers, a width of 150 meters and a minimum depth of 13 meters. At the end of the ship re-entered the track Gaillard sluice which is also equipped locomotives driving. The first sluice Pedro Miguel Locks lowers the ship 9 yards to the Miraflores lake surface. From here the ship then sailed across the Miraflores lake as far as two and a half miles to the gate or the Miraflores Locks Miraflores. Here are two doors down the vessel of water until it is parallel to the surface of the Pacific Ocean. And from here the ship sailed into the Gulf of Panama and then out into the Pacific Ocean.

Measured from the Bay of Limon in the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Panama in the Pacific Ocean this canal has a length of approximately 82 kilometers to the long voyage around 8 hours. On average there are 12,000 ships cross the canal each year, or about 33 ships a day. But because of the narrow, the canal can not be skipped aircraft carriers and giant tankers. Therefore ships can pass Panama canal called Panamaz ships.

Fare / tariff through the canal

Canal authorities set tariffs to cross the Panama Canal by ship type, size, and what is loaded in a cargo ship. In 2007, the Authority has set a new tariff and the Disney Cruise Line ship from the U.S. in the year 2008 recorded a record as the most expensive fare payers ie amounting to USD 331,200.

Challenges Ahead

Panama Canal to face some fierce competition from such service inter-oceanic railroad across the United States and Mexico, and Nicaragua's neighbors plan to also build the canal. Looking at these challenges the Government of Panama in 2006 and then held a referendum to expand the canal. Fortunately, the referendum was approved by approximately 80% of the people of Panama. In concrete, the expansion of the Panama canal will be coupled with the construction of two water gates extra wide, at the beginning and end of the canal. Panama Canal will also be expanded and deepened in some places. This project will take at least eight years and cost more than $ 5 billion. Panama itself will provide around half the cost that could be taken from the pockets of the Panama Canal Authority in 2007 earned revenues of approximately USD 1.76 billion. The rest is taken from international loans.

Why Bull Hate Red ?

2011-10-25T18:07:00.000-07:00

People often reminded to be careful if adjacent to a bull if wearing a red shirt. Does red bull really make mad? In fact, the bull can not see perfectly, because of partial blindness.

What causes a bull is disturbed, because someone waving a cloth in her face. Views on the subject of color is deceptive. In the view of the human eye has a rod that is sensitive to light, but does not provide information about the color. But the bull had, and it works well in dim light or dark.

Like when seen at night, color perception become blurred because of darkness. Trunk of the human eye is equipped with three types of cone cells, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light, waves of red, green, and blue. Each color that we know, can be represented as a combination of basic colors.

When something goes wrong with the basic view of this aspect, it produces color blindness, which is usually in the form of incomplete inability to distinguish colors, rather than narrow the range of colors that can be felt. Humans have a common view of color as in fishes, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. Some animals see more colors than we can, for example bees.

Partial Blind

Color perception is the brain's response on the stimulus received by the retina. Has identified three types of cone photoreceptor cells (which needed to be able to distinguish colors) namely blue, green, and red. It takes a minimum of two cells to be able to distinguish colors, and the normal color vision is needed all three. Color blindness is usually caused by heredity. Of heredity is the most frequently found are red-green defect cells. Color blindness is associated with X-recessive gene, so lowered by the mother (not necessarily having a color blind, because the gene is recessive) to their son. In a person with partial color blindness, may have defects in red or green cone cells so it can not perceive color and its derivatives, is also difficult to distinguish.

Hating Red Bull

The cause of the bull does not like red cloth itself because it's not like the bull actually waving the cloth, not the color of the fabric itself. Bull had a disease that causes partial blindness bull can not see the color / color-blind. But because the matador had been regular since the first use of red cloth as a tool for action against the bull, so we assume a red color that makes the raging bull.

Who says the hotel is only for those who are dead? proof of a hotel in Japan was established specifically for the corpse. Here, they were laid while waiting for their turn to do the cremation process.

Density of activity in a crematorium in Japan make the family the body had to wait their turn to do the cremation process. While waiting their turn, families can 'leave' the corpse at the Hotel Lastel which was built as a temporary lodging place for the corpse in Yokohama, Japan.

Hotel called Lastel is located near the port city of Yokohama. From the outside it does look like a typical hotel, so it often makes young couples who want to stay fooled. When entered into, the visitors can see the ranks of a small room containing the coffin cold.

There are about 40 rooms with services like hotel in general. Prices for rooms per night set at 12,000 yen or about US$ 100. The owner, Hisayoshi Teramura, said his business is thriving. Not least because the number of deaths increased each year in Japan.(Foto: REUTERS/ Yuriko Nakao)

Vertical Farm in Dubai

2011-10-24T20:19:00.000-07:00

After trying to make a cool beach, Dubai once again did a very great innovation in the building contractor.

As we all know Dubai is rich with oil but if you talk to water and agriculture, of course Dubai is not a great nation.

For that Dubai to build a farm in a vertical position in a building called "Vertical Farm". And an architectural firm and building contractor from Italy, Studiomobile will help the project "weird".

The building is shaped like a plant will utilize sea water for two purposes: one to cool the air inside the building and convert sea water into ordinary water that will be used for watering the existing plants.

Air will enter the building will be cooled with the help of sea water and air that there will also be condensed so that it will convert air into water. And this water that will be used for watering plants.

With projects and investments such as this, we're just worried that the price of one kg of cassava there might be for an LCD TV / plasma.

Copy face

Real-f, a startup company from Japan, provides an opportunity for you to see yourself in new ways.

With rates 2,500 pounds or about US $ 3000, the company would make a photo of your face and then print them in 3D models to be used as the 'face' which is made of solid vinyl chloride. The result, a model called the 3DPF or 3 Dimensional Photo Form.

If the face is not enough, you could even create a 3D photocopy of your head in full, including the shoulders.

Real-f is not the first company to attempt to create a mask of human face. However, the model generated by Real-f is the most realistic.

Real-f claim, you could even see the veins and membrane of the eyeball. They even mention the technology that they created a process of 'copy' of man.

"We have switched from monochrome to color. Now is the time for the era of three-dimensional stereoscopic effect, "said Real-f, as quoted from dailymail.

Real-f does not explain what their purpose to make these technologies. However, there are indications that the user can install the 'head' them on mannequins. Whatever its use, the buyer needs to wait two weeks until your head is finished.

Caterpillars convoy Feather Cross Road

Spectacle was successfully captured by the camera Jamie Rooney British tourists, who visit the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. Jamie, from High Wycombe, Bucks, was in the Jeep full of tourists when their driver slammed the brakes just a few inches of running convoy caterpillar crawl it.

Jamie, 38, who works in sales site, said: "This is an incredible sight. We were driving in the Kruger National Park for a safari, when suddenly the driver screamed and slammed on the brakes-nya.Dia managed to stop just in time in front of the convoy of this caterpillar, which stretches across the street. "

Conservation is a big deal in South Africa that its contents if there is life on the road you have to wait patiently until they passed safely across. "We came out to take a closer look as much as 136 caterpillars convoy, all moving together across the tracks."

"They follow a very thin silk threads on the ground and it took about 20 minutes to get across the road safely." "We've never seen it before, but he heard about it and explained that they migrate into the bush bush where they will disperse. "

It's like a mass migration of large animals such as reindeer, but at different scales and slower. When they reached the woods, they turn into pupa and butterfly. "It's a rare sight, this is an absolute joy to watch and great experience to get down close and look at them. "

Did You Green Mascot Origins Android

2011-10-24T19:17:00.000-07:00

When googling the internet to find the origin of the green-colored creature, not many sources that have a satisfactory answer. But of the many that there are a small number who have a plausible reason why the mascot was named Android and why shape like that.

It should be noted that all of this explanation is not an official Google explanation. But you deserve to know. Check it out!

Perhaps Google's Android mascot maker while still a teenager so infatuated with the game called Gauntlet: The Third Encounter. Why is that?

Gauntlet: The Third Encounter is made by Atari arcade games that exist in the era of the 90s. This game only lasted a short time and then disappeared. In Gauntlet there are some characters that one of them named Android. If the other characters in human form then Android is shaped weird creature that could have been called a robot.

As in the picture, the Android is gray with two antennas on the head. By changing the color of gray to green and clarify the shape of the foot and hand, is not Gauntlet Android becomes very similar to Google's Android? Please see the video below to find out a little about the game Gauntlet: The Third Encounter and being named Android that is in it.

Yes, there are many artists and designers whose work is inspired by previous works. While not exactly 100% is permissible only seemed to imitate. Either the green creature with Google Android. Whether it is a grandson of the Gauntlet Android or indeed nothing at all, only Google knows.
