A study for approximately 10 years of reporting, more than 50,000 people have revealed that grip strength, walking speed or wake up from a chair, and the ability to balance the body is an indicator of how long we can live. Similarly, as reported by the Times of India, on Tuesday (28/09/2010).

 

 

In a study has been published in the British Medical Journal, the Medical Research Council (MRC) measures the firmness of the grip hand of the participants aged 18 years to more than 80 years. Studies held in 33 countries reveals the fact that the relationship between grip strength and survival can be seen in young and elderly people. Physical ability tests are also given to participants, including test walking speed, chair rises, and standing balance performed.

"The simple non-invasive assessment of health related present and future, can help doctors identify the most vulnerable people whose health later in life. As well as early intervention (prevention measures) to keep them active for longer," said Rachel Cooper from the MRC.

 

Do you know Aquagenic Urticaria...?

If there is someone says "I'm allergic to seafood, or I'm allergic to dust", may have often heard. But, have you heard someone say "I'm allergic to water"? It sounds very strange ...

Lisa Melland, a butcher from Derbyshire, England, felt pain on contact with water. Her skin was burning and the onset of rash shortly after contact with water.
Conditions experienced by Melland including a rare disease called aquagenic urticaria. Cases of this kind is estimated there are only 40 cases in the world.

The disease began to attack Melland since seven years ago. "I suddenly develop a rash after contact with water. I think that I use contaminated water chemicals, but when I hit the water for the next time, the same symptoms occur again," Melland said as quoted by The Sun.

 

Since the disease was diagnosed, Melland Tub trapped into the suffering inside. She can not swim. In fact, he should not cry as much as possible because of the tears that drip can cause spots on the face.
She also had to limit the shower because the activity was very painful. Allergic effects usually last a few hours if the water was not immediately removed from her body. And, once exposed to water, she must immediately put on hypoallergenic lotion to her body back to normal.

Whichever, she always carried an umbrella fold, fearing rain water touching her body. Tissue is also always available in a bag to clean face and hands, every time you come into contact with water. "I'm hoping I'll wake up one morning and this allergy can be lost," she said.

 

This case also happened to Ashleigh Morris, 21-year-old Australian girl. Painful red rashes on the skin immediately arose when she was in contact with water. She could not bathe more than a minute because it will be very painful. Luckily it was only in skin allergy. They do not have problems when drinking water.

Nina Goad of the British Association of dermatologist said the allergy may happen due to high water levels of histamine in the blood. But so far, experts do not know for sure what causes the rare condition, so treatment has not been found.

World heroes

Colonel Stanislav Petrov, do you know who he is? He is a super hero in the real world, because thanks to the courage and deliberations .... World War III could be defeated.What's the story? It is a bit of a story about Colonel Stanislav Petrov.

We all still remember the events of the cold war the United States and the Soviet Union, right? At that time, the United States has the Missile Nuclear 4000-10000 ..While the Soviet Union has about 13000-50000 of Nuclear Missiles ...Can we imagine what will happen with this world, that until the nuclear missiles to explode or be used for war.1 piece of missiles alone can make Hiroshima destroyed, especially when up to tens of thousands of them.

Colonel Stanislav Petrov was the Lieutenant Colonel who served inone bunker detection of enemy attacks in the Soviet Union.On September 26, 1983, Computer Defense of the Soviet Union in the bunker, the detection of an American missile towards the Soviet Union,This of course would be fatal if not returned immediately,however, Colonel Petrov said it was just a computer errorand America could not be attacked, and he did not report to his superior, if only Petrov follow the rules, and report to his superiors, possibly nuclear war, which until now was feared, would happen .....

But the courage of a Colonel, dared break the rules,for the sake save the fate of this world, even though he knew his lifeis a successor if he is wrong.After that, it only proved correct computer error, Petrov was considered a hero. Country giving praise, medals, and what a hero deserves.

In 2004, the Petrov awarded $ 1,000 for his services.In 2006, he was also invited as an honored guest to the UN building in New York.   

The world's biggest gold storage.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York - located at 33 Liberty steet, Manhattan, New York, United States. In the open on November 16, 1914.

Here there are vault / storage room of gold, the largest in the world. In the vault there are estimated 10% of gold reserves in the world or around 5,000 metric tons of gold deposit, which is worth USD 270 billion or equivalent to Rp. 2430 Trillion!

Besides gold reserves came from the United States itself is also a savings deposit of 36 other countries, which rely on storage at the Fed Bank of New York.No one can enter it carelessly, especiallydocumenting what is in the vault.

 In the picture above, is the exit point of the gold truck from the outside toward the storage barn, and conversely that in the case by several security officers

Welcome to the biggest gold storage vault in the world. This is where the door of the exit point of the gold that is stored in the Bank. At the vault door, there are 3 meters long tunnel made of 90 tons of steel cylinder weighing about 140 tons door, which consisted of a mixture of steel and concrete.

 These are the rooms where the store of gold, there are 122 compartments this location. In the picture appears full compartment filled by gold bullion

  
Any gold that will be entrusted here, will be accounted for inventory by the officer, printed in accordance with the serial number and owner. After that will be weighed carefully, to avoid mistakes in the management and approval later. Because the gold that was entrusted in the bank is not in small amounts, but it amounted to very much.   

Old before their time ..

Still remember the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" starring Brad Pitt? The film adaptation of the book was published in 1922 presents a unique story of a boy named Benjamin who was born in the physical appearance of an old man.
The story is indeed fiction. But, in England, similar story happened to a 12-year-old girl named Hayley Okines.

But Benjamin has an upside-down situation with Hayley circumstances. Because the condition of Benjamin was born in a state that is old to be a baby ...
Hayley premature aging that make 12-year-old who still has the physical appearance of 96 year old tub. Medical world called progeria, a rare illness that attacks one out of every eight million people in the world.

As quoted from the page of the Daily Mail, progeria sufferer Hayley is the first child who underwent medical therapy FTIs (farnesyltransferase inhibitors).
Therapy lived since the last two years was done to reverse the abnormal cells in the body of progeria patients.

  
Despite its defects, Hayley normal life like a child her age. She likes to chat and play with friends her age, but enjoy the game of Nintendo Wii and knacks of women.

She was educated first at the school level to normal. With her physical condition is very old and frail, she was able to show achievements in science and mathematics.

Her parents placed great hopes on the success of therapy FTIs, although they are aware, children with progeria disease averaged only able to survive until the age of 13 years.
"Whatever happens we've resigned," said Kerry, Hayley's mother who is a resident Bexhill, East Sussex, England.

Jewel Eye ..

Jewel Eye is a new and extreme methods to decorate the face. This method was developed by the Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery and is claimed as the latest generation of cosmetic body.

Jewel Eye technique (In the Netherlands) is a surgical technique that laid the little gems (by 3.5 mm) below the transparent layer of the eye, known as the conjunctiva, as quoted from carefair. Conjunctiva is the delicate membrane covering the front of the eyeball and lines the inner eyelid.

Usually used to design jewelry that is inserted into the conjunctiva are round, clover, musical notes and the most popular is a heart shape. Even so, you may also request the form of jewels as desired.

The first thing to do is to anesthetize the eye with anesthetic and in the decontamination to prevent bacterial infection. Then the eyes injected with saline solution specifically to create a small pouch at konjugtiva eye. Medically, this bag is known as 'bleb'.

By using special scissors, 'bleb' is opened by making a sort of tunnel so that gems can be added. The tunnel is made to fit the proportions of the gem design.
Then it put a jewel on the 'bleb' in the eye conjunctiva. The entire implant process takes only about 15 minutes.

After the implant process is complete, eye to clean and remove excess salt solution specifically from the eye. The last thing done was dripping with antibiotics in the eye.
Jewel Eye Fitting this can be done in the clinic registered optometrist. The cost pairing varied, ranging from U.S. $ 600 up to U.S. $ 1.200 or about Rp. 54 million to Rp. 110 millions.

Maintenance:
After installation, there is a treatment that should be done, namely by dripping antibiotics regularly for two weeks. Afterwards, it only needs checking after installation of one year.

 

Trends:
Currently Jewel Eye became a trend in the Netherlands. This can be seen from the number of people queuing up to put a jewel in his eyes. This is because the lack of side effects on the installation of Jewel Eye.

The impact of sport on the face

Sports, is very important for the health of our bodies.But it turns out, in addition to our body's health, sport can also make someone younger.

This fact is obtained from the results of research from the University of St Andrews, UK. The study was conducted as part of an Active Nation, which encourages people in Scotland for more training to welcome the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014, later. According to study leader Ross Whitehead, with the study expected a more active lifestyle can provide extra benefits in appearance.

A team of 10 researchers from the Perception Lab at the university simulate, supine exercise may affect one's appearance, based on the projected weight gain as much as an average of 0.55 kg for women each year, and 0.74 kg for men. Neck and lower jaw were among the most affected due to sagging skin.

Left Brain and Right Brain

The human brain is divided into two parts. The two hemispheres of the brain responsible for cross-examination, the right brain hemisphere that is responsible for the body to the left and vice versa.

This means that when the right brain dominant person, the person tends to become left-handed or left active with body parts. The two hemispheres of the brain is identical but different functions. Each brain behave differently.
The brain is an organ of the body's most vital and important for human survival. If humans are like a computer, the brain is the processor.

The human brain consists of more than 100 billion nerve, each associated with 10 thousand other nerve. The brain is a vital organ which is the control center of the central nervous system.
The human brain is divided into two and is limited by longitudinal cracks. Longitudinal slit is also called the great gap longitudinal or longitudinal cracks in the cerebral is a groove which separates the two hemispheres of the human brain.

There are benefits that an integrated human being has a brain. With two surfaces surface becomes wider, which allows for growth and cooling. With the two hemispheres, the brain becomes a function of each.
Left-brain hemisphere and right hemisphere have their respective functions, the following functions each hemisphere of the brain:

Left-brain hemisphereThe left brain is characterized by the characteristics associated with analytical skills, logical, sequence, objectively and rationally. With these characteristics, people who use the left-brain dominant tend to have a rational approach to life.
Left-brain dominant people are more interested in numbers, words or symbols. By way of logical thinking and rational, individuals with left-brain dominance tend to perform better analysis capabilities. For example in engineering or accounting.

People with left-brain dominance is experienced in planning, and these people rarely make preparations at the last moment.
Right hemisphere brainOn the other hand, the characteristics associated with right brain is intuitive, random, subjective, holistic (overall) and synthesis. With these characteristics, people with right brain dominant tend to be more creative than people are left brain dominant.

The fact that people with right brain dominance are more likely to love the visual aspect, so that these people rarely respond to the problem in detail.
Individuals with right brain dominance tend to be more creative and intuitive, both in the field of creative arts, as well as in other fields. The individual has the right time to prioritize the things that are difficult, because most of the decisions made at the last moment.

If two individuals are given a few cases, one with right brain dominance and the other with left-brain dominance, people with right brain dominance will start work without going through the instruction manual. Whereas individuals with left-brain dominance will do so through the manual, understand the concept, and then handling the case.      

The world's shortest man.

According to the latest edition of Guinness World Records Book 2011, Edward Nino Hernandez recognized as the world's shortest man. Nino is 24 years. He lives in Bogota, Colombia. The high is only 27 inches or about 70 centimeters. Weighed only 10 pounds. Nino loves dancing and dreaming to meet with Jackie Chan, traveled the world and has a Mercedes.

Unfortunately, his fame will not last long. Once Khagendra Thapa Magar from Nepal turns 18, then the Khagendra Thapa Magar, will take over the record high Nino with only 22 inches or 56 centimeters and this time he was recognized by Guinness as the world's shortest adolescents.

 

Benefits of breastfeeding babies, for mothers

Already proved that Mother's Milk brings many benefits to babies. In addition, breastfeeding also provides long-term benefits to the mother, one of them prevent the risk of diabetes.Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, United States, shows that mothers do not breastfeed their children have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (diabetes due to lifestyle).

"We have seen a dramatic increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes during the last century, one of them because many mothers do not breastfeed their children," said Dr. Eleanor Bimla Schwarz, assistant professor of medicine gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of Pittsburgh, as reported from Health24, Wednesday (09/01/2010).

According to Dr. Schwarz, a lot of people who already know that diet and exercise can prevent from the risk of type 2 diabetes.However, only few people are aware that breastfeeding can also reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes disease. This is because breastfeeding can reduce the fat in the abdomen after childbirth, which can increase the risk of diabetes.

To investigate this issue, Dr. Schwarz and colleagues conducted a study on 2233 women aged between 40 to 78 years. The result, 27 percent of lactating mothers who did not develop type 2 diabetes, which is nearly two times more likely than mothers who breastfeed their children or women who had never given birth.

"Our study provides another good reason to encourage mothers breastfeed their babies. Doctors should consider the history of pregnancy and lactation when advising women about the risk of type 2 diabetes," adds Dr. Schwarz.

  

Saggy pants disturbing ..

They are fond of wearing pants below the waist, aka saggy need to be careful if traveling in the city of Dublin, the state of Georgia, United States (U.S.). Section, the user style pants with profanity that would be subject to fines up to U.S. $ 200 or approximately Rp1, 8 million.

Mayor of Dublin, Phil Best, will sign the amendment to the law on indecent behavior this weekend. This amendment, according to CNN pages, will include a ban on wearing pants or a skirt three inches below the waist, or who show skin or underwear.


"We get some complaints from the community, who say they are wearing pants below the waist are rude people, and we were asked to do something about it," he said.
This complaint has been there since he thought a year ago, he was then doing research responding to this. The result, city council members decided, that wearing saggy pants into the same category as masturbation, sexual abuse, and urinating in public places.

City police will take action against those who are still wearing these pants, by providing a fine ranging from U.S. $ 25 to U.S. $ 200, or social services ordered by the court.

This regulation does not only apply in Dublin alone. Riviera Beach, Florida, and Flint, Michigan, have banned use of pants sagging since last few years. IN Riviera Beach, this rule has been declared unconstitutional after a court lawsuit.

Even the government's Brooklyn, New York, to Campaign with a series of anti-sagging pants billboard featuring teenage boys wearing saggy pants and the words "Lift your pants, lift your image"  

Paediatric gastroparesis...

Initially, this teenage girl thought to suffer from an eating disorder bulimia. But apparently, it was worse, any food into the stomach, always turned out again from the mouth that makes the girl did not eat for eight months.

14-year-old girl Utah, United States, suffer from diseasesrare, paediatric gastroparesis. This nerve disorder makes your abdominal muscles paralyzed, so she could not swallow food since December 2009.


Quoted from Dailymail, Friday (3/9/2010), doctors thought this girl named Gentrie Hansen suffered from bulimia because it shows the same symptoms with eating disorders are. Any food that was forced into the stomach, always turned out again from her mouth.

Other diagnosis could be given a doctor's, bacterial infections from food fermentation, but it was not recovered after being given antibiotics. Even continued to deteriorate, until finally in January 2010 Gentrie rushed to the hospital because of severe dehydration.

While in hospital, the girl who previously was active in cheerleading groups (cheerleaders) is just getting nutrition through a catheter. In addition to making her weight dropped from 50 kg to 38 kg in just one month, providing nutrition in a way that makes her heart function unencumbered.

 

After Botox injections also failed to improve the condition of this girl (height 170 cm), another attempt to do is install the gastric tube, namely a pipe connected directly to the digestive tract. However, up to six times the installation, the body Gentrie always gives rejection.

 

Finally, in July this year, doctors in the latest technology to pair the device driver stomach muscles stomach (gastric pacemaker). After installed the tool, end of the last week, Gentrie, finally able to swallow her first food, in the last eight months. 

 

Paediatric gastroparesis is a very rare neurological disorder, which makes movement of the abdominal muscles are not coordinated, or even completely paralyzed as experienced Gentrie. Its cause is unknown, but in this case the doctor believes the cause is a virus. 

Pyrokinetic

This can be achieved by accelerating particles to increase the temperature until it reaches the level of extreme heat, and capable of emitting sparks that could generate fire. Most people with this gift, has the ability to enhance their personal temperature to warm, even in the coldest conditions.

 In some traditions pyrokinetic (people who can use pyrokinesis) can make a fire, but it is "technically" pyrokinetic can only manipulate fire, although they can burn the flammable material, make a fire afterward. The ability to create fire from thin air, with no flammable materials, called "pyrogenesis."

Pyrokinesis is under the umbrella of telekinesis (or, sometimes, psychokinesis) in which a practitioner uses their mind to affect the physical world around them. Traditionally a pyrokinetic can light a fire when the conditions in accordance with an adequate supply to create the fire, namely fuel, oxygen and heat, and then manipulate the intensity of the fire and the direction in which the materials were located. So pyrokinetic can kindle a pile of newspapers and did not burn near curtains, or causing the fire to spread quickly, through a certain area at a speed that is not fair.

Although there is no empirical experiments that have been proven as displayed by the tradition of popular pyrokinesis, the ability to produce heat has been shown by certain practitioners of the martial arts.

Martial artist is, by manipulating energy "chi", they can radiate heat from their hands or other parts of their bodies. Some argued that this ability is not "right" but merely pyrokinesis bio-feedback form and just control, improve and increase the body's natural ability to produce heat, while others say that it is the ability to manipulate the material world of mind and thus qualifies as (telekinesis) . Many who have this ability to work with negative energy which tends to be warmer then changed shape into positive energy. The owner of this capability is likely full of negative energy, and thus very hot to the touch, or the lack of negative energy so that makes it quite frozen to the touch. How to be able to have this ability? It takes patience, perseverance and also the focus ...

   

Mars astronauts - Shrinking Old

Humans dream of exploring outer space beyond the Moon. In fact, the President of the United States, Barack Obama had a target, the mid 2030's, we can send astronauts into orbit Mars.

Obama does not just dream up in orbit, he hopes to send the first man who will set foot on Mars.
However, some scientists recently warned that sending people to the Red Planet could be dangerous. Because of space travel in a long time the astronauts would be physically exhausting. From various studies the scientists found that the astronauts would lose half of their muscle strength in the mission to mars it.

For example, if astronauts to Mars aged between 30 to 50 years, when returned to Earth, their muscle strength equivalent to grandparents age 80 years. If it is so, the risk of a trip to mars, increasingly large.
The research team led by Robert Fitts, professor of biology at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, took tissue samples from calves nine U.S. and Russian astronauts who spent six months on the International Space Station.

Biopsies taken 45 days before the launch, and before returning to Earth showed atrophy of the cells in zero gravity areas.
Professor Fitts asserts that the mass loss of fibers in the cells, as well as its strength, can be translated by more than 40 percent decline in physical work capacity.


United States Space Agency (NASA) to design a trip to Mars using current rocket technology, it took three years - including a year's stay on Mars.
If so, the decline in the muscles most affected such as the calf could approach 50 percent. On their return to Earth gravity, they will be very weak, unable even to evacuate themselves during an emergency.  

This report has been published online in The Journal of Physiology - hard copies will be published next month.
Loss of muscle strength has been investigated previously in medical science outer space - but this is the first analysis of the related missions in the long term.

However, Fitts said the results of these tests should not prevent human beings from outer space exploration. Because, he continued, "Without exploration, we will be stagnant and failed to improve our understanding of the universe."

These findings demonstrate the importance of fitness for astronaut training - both on Earth and when they travel.
Besides the decline in physical fitness, the astronauts are also at risk of suffering from cancer as a result of DNA damage from cosmic radiation, the loss of bone density, and mental stress due to isolation.     

Toy guns have to license.

Toy guns should be Licensed in Queensland under the laws of new firearms. EVERY ITEM that looks like a gun should be licensed under the Arms Act on some of the changes being considered by the Queensland Government.
Even the weapons are made of materials that can not be sepertii soap or plastic, may be stored under lock and key if the toy gun could "reasonably be taken to be a weapon." Draft action say, imitation is a copy of "reasonable" from a weapon that is not capable of causing death or injury.

"If it looks like a gun and feels like a gun, it should permit," said government sources. "We just want to know where they are." It is not clear, how the draft affected the toy rifle. Failure to license imitation weapons, will be subject to a maximum fine of $ 4500, based on one proposal and storage, subject to penalties amounting to $ 750.
The proposed changes would also impose restrictions on the ownership of a laser pointer, heavier penalties for selling things like a bow, bullet proof vests and knuckledusters without an appropriate license, and strict rules on the storage of firearms.

Under certain circumstances, religion will be a legitimate reason for carrying a knife and police who took the service-issue firearms in their homes will be exempted.
But gun owners groups have condemned the action as a complex and perverse. Christopher Ray of the Law Abiding firearms Owners, said the legal owner of the list was "governed from existence."

"We just want some weights, some tape and some documents were taken from our backs," said Ray. "Instead, they make more complicated for those who obey the law. If we make a small mistake we could lose (our weapons). License for five years. "

He said police also opposed LAFO given "free rein" to take their weapons home, and left them on their bedside table. Geoff Jones, president of Sporting Shooters Association, said the eradication of imitation weapons risked creating "law-abiding people into criminals."
Mr. Roberts said, the requirement for permanently disabled public monuments, like the weapons on display in the building must be registered or licensed RSL has been removed from the action concept.   

Asteroid Apophis will Hit Earth in 2036

In Egyptian myth, Apophis was the spirit of evil that causes destruction, wanted to bring eternal darkness to the world.
A name that fits, according to astronomers, for the chaos that will hit the Earth from space. The experts are looking at 390-meter-sized asteroids found June 19, 2004, which has the potential to collide with the planet, and continue to remind the government to act.
NASA has estimated the possibility of this asteroid to hit Earth in the year 2036, would release more than 100,000 energy which detonated an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Of thousands of square kilometers would be directly destroyed, but the whole Earth will see the effects of the dust released into the atmosphere.

And, experts say, there is little time to make decisions. At a meeting for the Near-Earth Objects (NEO) in London, scientists say it may take several decades to design, test, and make the technology needed to change the direction of the asteroid. Monica Grady, an expert in meteorites at the Open University, said: "This is not a question of when, not if, an object crashed into Earth. Many smaller objects hit the Earth's atmosphere, and have no impact. However, a NEO larger than 1 km (width), will hit Earth every few thousand years, and NEO is more than 6 km would destroy Earth's life, every few million years. We're in a period for a "large".

Asteroid Apophis is one constant in the supervision of NASA, because it potentially hit Earth. Apophis, also known as 2004 MN4, until the end of 2004, remains a possible asteroid collision with the highest in the year 2029. But the beginning of the year 2005 showed a decrease possibilities of radar data. And in a few months later, the possibility of collisions in the year 2036 is also declining, and eventually reach the comparative figures 1:45000

A 13-year-old child, a junior high school, succeeded in correcting the Apophis asteroid collision calculations. Collisions which, according to NASA originally estimated that only 1:45000, a ride comparison, because Apophis is expected to hit one of the satellites that surround the Earth.

Nico Marquardt calculations show that at the date of October 13, 2008, during a meeting closest to the Earth, Apophis would likely have crashed into one of the 40 000 existing satellites and orbital trajectory changes. These changes will happen in 2029 again, as it approached the Earth, because again the possibility of Apophis hitting the Earth will experience. Consequently in the year 2036, during a meeting with Earth, Apophis will hit Earth likely to be 1:450, or one hundred times higher than NASA estimates.
Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer from Queen's University said: "If Apophis pass us on the date 13 April 2029, then in 2036 Apophis will hit us."

Officially, NASA's party issued a news release about the possibility of Apophis collision. Outstanding news also mentioned that Nico Marquardt and NASA had reached an agreement, even NASA has acknowledged that there is an error in their calculations.

From the office of the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., stated that the NEO does not have to change the current estimate of the possibility of Apophis collision. Apophis will still have a low possibility of collision with Earth that is 1: 45 000 in year 2036. Even NASA's NEO program, especially from the states, the investigators they had not made any contact or correspondence with students.
In previous news, otherwise Nico Marquardt perform calculations on a possible collision between the asteroid Apophis with artificial satellites during close Encounter (nearest the meeting) with the Earth in the year 2029.

Unfortunately, in the year 2029 when the asteroid Apophis approaching Earth, the asteroid will not pass through the area near the main belt of geosynchronous satellites. In other words, the chance of collisions with artificial satellites, so far.
Therefore, consideration of a possible collision scenarios with fixed satellite will not affect the possibility of collisions that have been taken into account this time, namely one in 45,000.

NASA, in particular the NEO program, tasked to detect and track asteroids and comets passing near Earth. They will find and calculate the trace of the object's orbit, to determine whether the incident was harmful to the Earth or not.       

Sleep and Memory

Be careful who like to stay up. The study found people who sleep less than seven to eight hours a day, will destroy the brain's ability to form strong memories.
University of California, San Diego found that people who really enjoy a long sleep filled with dreams, can remember the information and links between all the facts when they wake up.

This study shows sleep is very important for the brain's ability to consolidate memories.
"Sleep is important to draw all the information we process every day, and turn them into memories that we can use later," said UCSD sleep researcher, Dr. Sara Mednik.

Adults who sleep less than the recommended amount, as well as lack of sleep, can inhibit the brain's ability to process and grow their memories, he said.
Mednik said, "This study helps us further understand the benefits of sleep and help people maximize their sleep schedules for optimal productivity and memory retrieval." 

Pink Blood

A baby born prematurely at Children's Hospital of Hubei shocked the medical staff, because the baby's blood turned into a pink, not red like in general.

The little girl was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia, pulmonary infections, anemia and retinopathy. Hyperlipidemia is a condition most of the fat in the blood, including high triglyceride levels kolesteroldan. hyperlipidemia usually attacks adults and up to now according to records have never attacked the newborn.

Pink color in the blood due to high lipid content in the blood. This high fat content can clog arteries and lead to cardio vascular diseases such as heart problems or stroke. According to reports from other media, this baby is suffering from congenital metabolic disorders. Doctors can only just cope with symptoms.


According to China Daily, the baby was born at 40 days appeared healthy at birth at a local hospital. But two weeks later appeared the signs of illness and then referred to Children's Hospital of Hubei, which was then known that the color pink blood.  

Electronic Cigarette

Jakarta - Drug and Food Control Agency warned the public that electronic cigarettes that have been circulating in some cities are illegal and unsafe products.
"This product has not been doing clinical trials is therefore dangerous. World Health Organization (WHO) has declared product is not safe to eat, to recommend to prohibit its circulation," explained Director of Drugs Control POM Danardi Sosrosumihardjo in Jakarta, Friday (6 / 8) .

Electronic cigarette or "Elecronic Nicotine Delivery Systems" (ENDS) is marketed as a substitute for cigarettes and claimed not cause odor and smoke.
Shaped like a regular cigarette, but instead of burning tobacco leaves, like a conventional cigarette products, ENDS burning liquid and vapor that use batteries into the user's lungs.

The product is marketed under many names, among them the electronic cigarette, ecigarro, electro-smoke, green-CIG, and smartsmoker.
Danardi said it had received reports from various areas, among others, Makassar, Semarang, Lampung and Palembang, about the circulation of these illegal products, and has coordinated with the Ministry       of Commerce for enforcement............

  "Because it's illegal, POM can not supervise. The product is also not registered as a cigarette, so can not be disciplined by the Customs," explained Danardi.
In a leaflet or flyer, one product called Surabaya Electric Cigarette marketing two types of cigarettes, which are black and green.
Black cigarettes sold for Rp190 thousand and green colors for Rp160 thousand.
