VIDEO: Reveals the Mystery of the Dead Sea in the Basic

 Three million years ago, a crack in the Jordan Valley ( Jordan Rift Valley ) to form a large lake filled with water. Dry climate and high evaporation increases the concentration of minerals in the water. Become very salty. Waters is now better known as the Dead Sea. high levels of salt that makes people able to float easily. Not going to drown. Salinity, more than 32 percent make life almost impossible creatures living in it. But opinion was proved wrong. Authentic dead sea did not really die. For the first time in history, scientists are sending divers to explore the Dead Sea.


They reveal unexpected findings, freshwater springs coming from the crater beneath the sea, also animal microbes in them. The two findings are the first uncovered in the Dead Sea - the salty waters of the world as well as the lowest water surface on Earth. The Dead Sea lies between Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian West Bank. On the one hand, the uniqueness that can make people float by becoming a tourist attraction. Conversely, for divers, it is a big challenge.


Researchers from Ben-Gurion University, Israel (BGU) managed to dive into the Dead Sea, to confirm their suspicions that the fresh water up from the cracks that are far away on the seabed. Fresh water gush from the wall steep 15 x 20 meters. The scientists found a spring of water to form a complex that flows in several places at the bottom of the Dead Sea - the inside of 30 meters and length up to hundreds of meters.

Advanced Aircraft Flying Capable This Unending

VAnews - Scientists Lockheed took inspiration from nature to make the design of future advanced aircraft: able to fly non-stop, with an environmentally friendly fuel. His name: Lockheed Stratoliner. A bird who contributed ideas Godwit. Rod-tailed bird that is the world record holder, in the category of flying non-stop. In fact, Australia's bird species are known to fly up to Alaska, without stopping to eat, amazing distance, 7256 miles or approximately 11,677 kilometers. Amazed by the ability of the bird, designer William Black took his wings as an inspiration - to create a jet of 'zero emissions' the concept of Lockheed Stratoliner.

The aircraft will use the wings like a bird, which works to increase lift. The idea is a jet that can fly anywhere on Earth - without emitting any pollution. Using hydrogen fuel. is still a long way to realizing that dream. During this time, a new hydrogen fuel tested in a small plane. The concept that made ​​the Black illustrates, without the emission plane can fly to anywhere in the world - using extreme aerodynamic lift force, to reach the altitude at which air pressure is reduced. Thus, the aircraft can fly like a bird. 's Page Black, the designer, at Yanko Design says, "large wing produces large amounts of energy removal and allow the aircraft to fly at high altitudes." Jet uses a Cryogenic Hydrogen four turbofan engines that do not result in emissions and can save fuel. (Eh)

Facebook Users Acknowledge Data Collection


Facebook finally reacting to accusations Nik Cubrilovic, information technology practitioners in Australia has criticized the Facebook has been spying on its users, even after they log out . Responding to the allegations, Director of Engineering Facebook Arturo Bejar said they are collecting user data called cookies. But Bejar ensure the data is immediately deleted.

Scientists Reveal How Advertising Affects Brain



Various types of advertising is all around us. They have launched various efforts to entice buyers. There are ads that highlight features products, while others were content ads completely unrelated to the products they sell. A study revealed that this type of advertising that should be most wary by the buyer.

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, and George Washington University working together to dissect two different types of advertising it. The first type of advertising called "the logic of persuasion" (LP) that presents the facts about a product. The second type of advertising called "irrational influences" (NI) because these ads deceive the consumer consciousness by depicting humorous scenes, vague, and the section that seemed nothing to do with the product.

In the study, researchers showed the picture ads to 11 women and 13 men as well as recording the electrical activity in their brains by using electroencephalography. Each participant should see 24 advertisements in newspapers and magazines, some of which type of LP or NI.

Advertising LP table showing facts and figures on tobacco advertising, as well as advice choosing a dog food based on the level of activity in dog food commercials. NI ad consists of liquor advertisements showing pictures of water droplets and tobacco advertising that shows a woman jumped over a fire hydrant spraying water and a man behind him laughed.

Research shows that brain regions involved in decision-making and emotional experience levels are much higher activity when participants saw the ad type of LP. Brain regions that help to limit an individual's response to certain stimuli, such as to prevent the urge to buy.

When looking at advertisements NI type, not as high-level brain activity when participants watch ads LP. "Watch your brain and your wallet," says Ian Cook, professor of psychiatry at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Researchers study states the results of research show low levels of brain activity when watching the commercials NI which cause low brain's control of behavior so that consumers are easily tempted to buy the product

Prevent Terrorism, Violence Kominfo Block 300 Sites


Ministry of Communications and Information Technology until the end of August 2011 it has received about 900 complaints to block the site's Anticipation for the violent acts of terrorism.

The complaint Because the sites were the resource persons judged Potentially lead to acts of terrorism. The site contains the contents of hate sara and other nuances. "The urge and appeal to shut down sites That agitate and insulting a specific religion there and gradually We still do," he said. Tifatul minister said the blockade Could not be done IMMEDIATELY Because the site was frequently changing the name. Tifatul promised to take immediate action if there are reports from the public. "But it does not directly block simply Because it Should have been doing the blocking is also the operator, not just the administrator," he said. It is feared that, if the original block Will show a negative perception. "If it's a direct block Such sites justifies the agitating people.

Seven Interesting Facts of the Dinosaurs



Triceratop is one type of dinosaur that ate plants. While the arm Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) was short. What are some other surprising facts about these prehistoric animals?
In recent years, paleontology come up with a lot of surprising facts about dinosaurs. The world's largest dinosaur exhibition, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), revealed some previously unknown facts.
Head and AMNH curator Mark A. Norell of the division of paleontology at least seven facts reveal surprising and least known of the dinosaurs. What?
There is a pigeon-sized dinosaur
Although the exhibition focuses on the big dinosaurs, not all of these ancient animals have a massive size. Especially since some species actually has a small size.
"In fact, many are about the size of a cat or even a pigeon," says Norell. Is the smallest known dinosaur Pterodactyl, Nemicolopterus Crypticus found in 2008 that only 25.4 cm long.
Dinosaur growth is fast enough
Dinosaurs are relatively fast growing. For example the four-legged dinosaur, Mamenchisaurus. Animals and the long-necked plant eaters are able to achieve the size of the body along 21 meters to be Mamenchisaurus adults, only for 30 years.
There feathered dinosaur
While most dinosaur illustrations depict the animals scaly or thick-skinned like modern elephants, there was a dinosaur that has Protofeather or similar objects covered with feathers. Protofeather marker is not required for flight, but the dinosaurs could not fly, including Velociraptor and Beipiaosaurus, found no wings, but feathers.
Long teeth
One of the largest land carnivores of all time is T-Rex. This dinosaur has the approximate weight of 6350 kg with a length of 13.7 meters. However, it also becomes a giant monster dinosaur with the longest teeth.
Including roots, T-Rex tooth can reach a length of 25.4 cm or throughout the iPad. With the number of teeth as many as 50-60 of this fruit, T-Rex could bite of meat or weighing 226.7 kg adult male tiger in a single bite. Wow!
Bone
Simply complete a dinosaur bone or a part of it is needed to identify a new species of dinosaur. "Nearly half of the 1,200 more dinosaurs have been named and known from a single specimen is unique," says Norell.
Dinosaurs roam near human
"Dinosaurs did not become extinct. Now we call them birds, "says Norell. In fact, a bird closely related to dinosaurs like T-Rex, he added.
Baby-faced
Like most animals, kids dinosaur also has a baby face. In 2010, researchers found a plant-eating dinosaur skull adolescents who show some dinosaurs may have a greater proportion of eyes, faces and funny little more than his parents. (Here)
