The Perspective of Vehicle Insurance

The presence of motor vehicles in the country that more and more become an easy target insurance companies in expanding on the financial crisis. People are more cautious in making their vehicle ownership is a good insurance.

Motor vehicle insurance has become one of the micro business that is being targeted by insurance companies. "In a situation such as this, micro-business seems to be the target of insurance companies, especially those associated with motor vehicle and property," said Chairman of the General Insurance Association of Indonesia Frans Wiyono to PersdaNetwork in Jakarta.

Insurance For Your Car

As we know every people never expect disaster, but in reality always comes unexpected tragedy and can not be avoided, so that required a solution that can anticipate the risks and mitigate losses from disasters that have occurred.

Along with the trend of increasing density of traffic and crime measures on the highway, it also increases the likelihood of accident involving your car, from a relatively mild, such as hit, scratched, pencongkelan rearview mirror, until the weight of such collisions, motor vehicle theft and even robbery .

Parrot Fish How Survive

Humans make mosquito repellent, mosquito stun devices, up to anti-mosquito cream to withstand the action of blood-sucking insects and pests bed. In the water there was also an attack of blood-sucking fish often called "mosquito sea". However, certain types of fish have different ways to defend itself from the "mosquito sea", by secreting mucus or mucus.

Fish that have a way of adaptation is a parrot fish (Chlorurus sordidus). Mucus production of this fish is removed from the mouth and protect the entire body. This mucus is used to protect themselves from attacks Gnothii isopods, a sort of shrimp or blood suckers, previously called "mosquito sea" it. This is a type of fish parasites.

Shoul Pluto be Planet Categorized Again?

Pluto has been kicked out of his status as a planet since the release of provisions of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) on the terms of celestial bodies to be designated as planets. Some conditions are specific star orbit, have enough mass to have its own gravity, not too large so as to cause thermonuclear fusion, and had emptied the orbit so as not to be occupied by other celestial bodies is greater.

The emergence of the provision itself is one of them relates to the discovery of Eris in 2005. Eris was said to have a size larger than Pluto. After approximately 4 years of Pluto not a planet anymore, now the debate about the status of Pluto as a planet re-warmed. Space.com site held a poll on his website. The poll titled "Who Should Pluto As a Planet Refunded?"

Biggest Spy Satellite Launched

A spy satellite owned by the United States was launched on Sunday (11/21/2010). By the National Reconnaissance Office that designed it, the satellite is said to be the largest satellite in the world without detailing how its size. The satellite is believed will enhance U.S. ability to spy on the enemy.

The rocket used in the satellite launch was the Delta 4-Heavy. The rocket carrying the satellite was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, United States, at 17:58 am local time Monday morning Indonesian time. "The mission is to help ensure that the equipment at the National Reconnaissance Office can continue to enhance our national defense," said U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Ed Wilson.

The NRO has been designing, creating, and operates spy satellites and satellites to serve the needs of U.S. spy agency, the Central Intelligence Agency and U.S. Department of Defense. Delta 4-Heavy rocket itself is a liquid-fueled America's most powerful States. The rocket had been used since 2004. The rocket has a 235 feet high and can carry loads up to 24 tons into earth orbit.

Exploring the Nano World Without Microscope

Nano world that can only be seen using electron microscopy was impressive. The world it describes how the particles that make up the objects around us arranged to form a unique structure. In that world, people also can see the Eiffel Tower-like structure and the stack pancakes in size supermini.

Opportunity to explore the nano world can you enjoy together until November 30, 2010. This time, you do not need to use electron microscopy to explore it. You can just come to the Science Film Festival 2010 held at four places, Blitz Megaplex Pacific Place, PPIPTEK TMII, Paramadina University, and Goethe Institut.

Found, Swimming Roman Era in Jerusalem

When excavated the location of the planned center will be built into the sacred bathing place for Jews in Jerusalem, Israeli archaeologists discovered an ancient pool complex. "Every modern building in the old town was set on top of old buildings. The question now is, whether the parties relating to the religious tolerant enough to accept the other's history.
- Rafi Greenberg, an archaeologist from Tel Aviv Unievrsitas

They soon expect the pool came from the Roman era were buried in the city since nearly 2,000 years ago. The discovery was announced 22 November. Ofer Sion, director of implementation of the excavation Jewis Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, said this discovery will prove that the cities of Roman times greater than previously thought.

Lakes on Earth Warming

The largest lakes on Earth to warm over the last 25 years. This Aviation and Space Agency announced the United States or NASA, on Tuesday (23/11/2010). Heating that occurs in these lakes are known after the researcher Philipp Schneider and Simon Hook of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, observe the 167 lakes on Earth using satellite data.

Mars Explorers Mimic Columbus Mission

Many times the scientists revealed his dream to explore Mars by sending a manned mission there. Travel long been one of the barriers that dipertimbangakan mature. The question is whether that sent astronauts to survive and come home safely?

However, the concept of exploration missions to Mars that was recently proposed to ignore the risk. In fact, this mission would be to pave the way humans to Mars invasion. As antarbenus exploration missions in the past that made Columbus and his companions, humans too should be able to survive when deciding to seek new destinations on other planets.

Maybe it's time for you to join in the mission live on Mars, without the need to think again. U.S. space agency (Nasa) is reportedly looking for volunteers who are willing to run the mission to go to Mars without returning. The mission is part of a NASA mission called "Hundred Years Ship" aimed at exploring the possibility of human beings can live on Mars.

To carry out that mission, one of NASA's research institute of Ames Research Center has provided a budget of more than 1 million U.S. dollars. The research team members also receive additional funds 100 thousand dollars per person to prepare the mission.

Dirk Schulze-Makuch from Washington State University and and Paul Davies of Arizona State University in his article published in the Journal of Cosmology say that this mission is a mission that is very promising. Two scientists emphasize that this mission is not a suicide mission. They say that this trip could be the beginning of human colonization of Mars in the long term, making man as a species multiplanet.

Shipping humans to Mars could save costs because the observations do not need to provide fuel to return to earth. The mission can also be an opportunity to "preserve" the human species if one day there are disasters that wipe out entire species on earth.

"There are many reasons why the colonization of humans to Mars could be a destination that promises a scientifically and politically. The strategy of this trip one way to help to achieve goals with technology and financial generosity," wrote Davise Makuch and again in his article on Monday (15/11/2010 .)

This plan does have a lot of risk, but scientists think that the risk is always there in every expedition. he pointed out, a few centuries ago a group of Europeans go to the United States with desperate without hope that they can go back to Europe again.

"The approach to this mission can be started by sending four astronauts to the two spacecraft, so two people in one plane. They will be given enough supplies to survive on Mars," said Schulze-Makuch.

Schulze-Makuch also said that the search for a place where may also be initiated. Mars has some suitable place for shelter. In ice-rich regions of Mars, humans can use ice as a source of water and oxygen.

When several people have been able to find resources, they can utilize and manage natural resources that exist in the planet. Finally, humans can perform the expansion on the planet most like Earth that claimed them.

Understand the Earth's Mantle

A group of scientists recently initiated a program of mapping the Earth's mantle, a layer of earth that lies between the earth's crust and core. Andy Nowacki, a geophysicist from the University of Bristol, UK who are involved in coat mapping program, said the study has been very helpful in understanding the volcanic activity and earthquakes.

Why map the coat can help to understand volcanoes and earthquakes? Coat layer is a dense layer having a thickness of approximately 2800 km. Although dense, this layer can move slowly because it has a high temperature. When this layer moves, then the existing tectonic layer on it also moves. Tectonic plate movement that occurs is a potentially increased volcanic activity and cause earthquakes.

Kangaroos and Deer Hunted Continues

Hunting of kangaroos and deer, two protected animals that live in Wasur National Park, Merauke, Papua, continue to occur. Hunting activity threatens kangaroos and deer populations that live in national parks covering an area of 413,810 hectares of it.

The existence of kangaroos and deer hunting is visible from the sale of kangaroo meat and deer in New Market in the town of Merauke. The price of kangaroo meat is sold at Rp 30,000-Rp 40,000 per kilogram (kg), while the venison sold for about Rp 30,000 per kg.

New Kind of Squid Found in Hindia Ocean

Scientists discover new species of squid in the Indian Ocean. The discovery was reported by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, on Monday (11/15/2010). The species is included in the family Chiroteuthid.

Species that are found to have a size of about 70 cm long has an organ that is able to emit light to scare the prey. According to the IUCN report, the species found at the bottom of a steep sea. So far, it has been found in 70 species of squid in the expedition. All squid species that represent 20 percent of species of squid in the world.

"Jellyfish" Image in The Space

One of the telescopes owned by the U.S. Aviation and Space Agency (NASA) successfully captures the image of a dying star and as if surrounded by a ring. The scientists describe the star's image as jellyfish in the sea star. Is the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) that captures NASA's image. A pair of stars that captured dying seemed surrounded by gas and rings. Astronomers say they have never seen this phenomenon before.

"When I saw the star, I think of jellyfish that I saw at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Beautiful creature that is in the water. Star is also beautiful. Only, he was there in space," said Ned Wright, head of investigations at WISE. The image captured is actually NGC 1514, a crystal ball nebula is 800 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. The object was included in this type of planetary nebulae and was first discovered by Sir William Herschel.

Whale Skin Can the Sun Burned

Not only that human skin can sunburn. Whale skin can also experience it.

Scientists from the Zoological Society of London recently discovered this fact after doing research on several types of whales found in the Gulf of California. They took samples, collect high-resolution photographs, and examine the microscopic structure of sperm whales, gray whales fin and blue whales.

The results showed, nearly every sample of whale skin have skin cells that sunburn, even in the deepest layer of skin. It shows that the damage is quite severe. The researchers suspected, it burns on whales associated with damage to ozone layer that occurred.

Cheap Technology Vessel Monitoring

Indo Defence 2010 exhibition held from 10 to 13 November 2010 at the Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran. One of the local participants who showcased their products are PT Imani Prima vessel monitoring programs that showcase named Aissat Prime.

The program monitors the ship was used to monitor the presence of ships in a region. "With this program, we can monitor where the ship is located, name of ship, boat serial number, flag state ships and ship speed. So to say this program is better able to monitor more detail than radar," said Firdaus Adinugraha, Imani Prima staff.

Plasmulator, Cheap Tools to Reduce Emissions

Engineering exhaust to reduce motor vehicle emissions is not new. Several years ago there was the discovery of the use of zeolite and plasma to reduce emissions. However, the findings do not get much response because of the costs for engineering and maintaining its function.

Now, there is another innovation that is more effective and efficient than the use of zeolite, namely plasmulator. The principle of this new innovation is quite simple because only based on the use of positively charged electrode and negative to attract other substances which charged different. In short, such as the ability of a magnet to attract metal.

Art of Minangkabau Learned in Hawaii

Arts of Minangkabau, West Sumatra, a compulsory curriculum in Hawaii, Manoa, USA.

Randai subjects had become compulsory curriculum at the University of Hawaii during 2000-2001, said Cultural Sumatra, Musra Dahrizal Katik Rajo Mangkuto, in Padangpariaman Friday.

Musra was familiarly called "Mak Katik" randai it has taught art at the university for one semester. In fact, in August 2011, he again was invited to Hawaii to teach randai.

Arts randai, Mak said Katik who also addressed sebaga "Tuo Randai", liked and admired for its management with customary and religious philosophy.

"Behind the martial art of dialogue and movement, full of traditional philosophy and religion that became the basis of life," he asserted.

According to him, when the Minangkabau art could become compulsory curriculum abroad, should be in the realm of his own, too.

Because not a priority of indigenous cultural curriculum Minangkabau in West Sumatra, he added, making the role ninik-mamak (brothers mother, and ed.) No longer felt.

On a separate occasion, Chairman of the Institute for Indigenous Natural Density Minangkabau (LKAAM) West Sumatra, Sayuti Dt. Rajo Pangulu said it will again attempt to restore traditional values and culture in the community that began to fade.

Pekalongan Batik

Although no official records began to be known when the batik in Pekalongan, but according to estimates existing in Pekalongan batik around the year 1800. Even according to the data recorded at the Ministry, batik was made in 1802, as a small tree motif in the form of dress material.

But significant progress is expected to occur after a major war in 1825-1830 in the kingdom of Mataram, called Java Diponegoro war or war. With the onset of this battle royal family and urged his followers to leave many areas of the kingdom. They then spread towards the East and West. Later in the area - a new area that the family and followers develop batik.

Rare Bats Found in Sumatra

Conservation experts from the UK found a rare bat in the jungle of Sumatra. Bats found in known as the barong Ridley (Hipposideros ridleyi), a species classified as threatened with extinction in the list of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Species of bats were found in forest fragments that extent only 300 hectares. Fragment is surrounded by oil palm plantations, which opened in the forest area and expanded so that penetrated an important habitat for the survival of endangered animals.

Hawking Maybe Wrong in Meaning of God

The opinion of leading British scientist, Stephen Hawking, who ignore God's role in the creation of the universe is not completely opposed. Colleagues at the University of Cambridge think Hawking may misinterpret God as described in the scriptures.

"The term God is trying to reveal Stephen Hawking is not God the creator as it is believed to Abraham, which is the best explanation to explain why something exists," says Denis Alexander, Director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, Friday (9/3/2010).

According to him, the term God is the embodiment Hawking said that fills the gaps in science that has not been revealed. In fact, the view of science and religious belief are different. He argues, science to explain something with a great narrative about the occurrence of something, while theology is the meaning of these narratives.

Mona Lisa's Smile Mystery Revealed

What is the meaning behind the Mona Lisa smile full of puzzles? The scientists believe that smile changes depending on where the eye sees first. One appeal of the most famous paintings in the world that is able to look radiant, but then turned serious and cynical. Now scientists claim to have found the answer to these changes, namely our eyes that sends random signals to the brain. They believe that the Mona Lisa's smile can be seen depending on the cells in the retina and what channels to use the image into the brain.

History and Development of Batik

Batik is historically derived from our ancestors, known since XVII century, written and painted on palm leaves. At that motif of batik was dominated with the form of animals and plants. But in its development history of batik has developed, from painting motifs of animals and plants gradually turn to the abstract motif that resembles a cloud, temple reliefs, wayang beber and so forth. Furthermore, through the merger of the painting with the art style of clothes frieze art of batik as we know it today.
The type and style of traditional batik considered very much, but the pattern and its variations according to the philosophy and culture of each region are very diverse. The Indonesian nation of cultural treasures which have prompted the birth of such a rich variety of styles and types of batik tradisioanal with the characteristics of their own specialty.

Scientists Can Read The Secrets of The Brain in A Computer

The human brain is like a maze that is difficult to predict. However, scientists have managed to change the code, the brain signals into a computer that can read human minds. In recent years, a series of interesting and surprising experiment has been done to dismantle the labyrinth of the human brain. Far exceeded the limits, we seem very open mind on something new and interesting to watch as part of the human body functions.

The scientists in Utah announced that they successfully transformed brain signals into code words that will be interpreted in the computer. Using sensors embedded in the brains of volunteers, scientists managed to record the electrical signals produced by the brain when someone reads ten words, like 'yes', 'no', 'hungry' and so forth.

Martian Life May Be Elapsed

The latest analysis is sent from Mars 34 years ago showed no organic materials on the planet. This allows for errors in the initial perception. The researchers say that the results of the examination again in 1976 the Viking mission did not bring scientists closer to Martian life. Nevertheless, the possibility of life there and whether there remain, as reported by The Washington Post. These findings indicate the existence of the risk of 'false negatives' in space exploration based on equipment limitations and assumptions of scientists about the conditions behind the earth, said a senior scientist at NASA field astrobiologi, Mary Voytek.

Power Plants In The Earth's Orbit

The U.S. energy company in the midst of developing the Solar Power Plant (hydro power plant) that will be placed on satellites orbiting the Earth. Mode will be effective because the use of sun rays could not have done 24 hours depending on weather and changes in day and night.
Design of satellite-based power plants are currently being designed Solaren Corp. The satellite will carry a series of solar cells which stretches for several kilometers and located at an altitude of 40.000 kilometers. Solar cells will gather next summer sun that is converted into radio waves. Radio waves are then transmitted to receiving stations on Earth. At these stations, radio waves again this time converted into electrical energy that will be poured into the electricity network.
