A number of studies conducted between the years 2006-2008 have shown that a Mediterranean-style diet had a positive impact on human health . Mediterranean -style diet has several characteristics , namely :



1 . Daily consumption of fruits , vegetables and cereals are high .
2 . Consume more fish than meat and chicken
3 . The low consumption of saturated fats ( meat , chicken skin ) and high consumption of unsaturated fats
4 . Rarely consume dairy products
5 . Rarely consume alcohol
6 . Frequent consumption of olive oil


Based on research , a diet like this brings many benefits . Well , what is the benefit of this kind of diet ?


1 . Extend life expectancy :
In a study conducted on 74,000 men and women of Europe were healthy and aged a minimum of 60 years , showed that a Mediterranean-style diet had a higher dietary score than the other diets . Dietary higher score correlates to a lower mortality rate .


2 . Preventing the emergence of Alzheimer's disease :
Researcher Nikolaos Scarmeas , researching diet records over several years from 194 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 1,790 healthy people , average age 76 years . Nikolaos Scarmeas diet pertisipan similarity measure with the Mediterranean diet . A diet with a score of zero , which does not describe the diet at all similar to the Mediterranean diet , while a score of nine shows that diet is very similar to the Mediterranean diet . Nicholas then examined the functions of the brain to the participants . As a result, the participants whose diets are approaching the Mediterranean diet ( scorenya 7-9 ) risk of contracting Alzhemeirnya 68 % lower when compared with participants who have different eating patterns . Another study conducted in New York also showed that the patients who ate natural Alzhemeier Mediterranean has a life expectancy 1.3 years longer when compared with patients with other diets .



3 . Prevent children suffering from asthma :
A study published in January 2008 showed that the mother during pregnancy using a Mediterranean diet have a lower risk for having a baby with asthma . Of the 468 pairs of mothers and children who he researched , 36 % of mothers did not diet and a Mediterranean -style diet 74 % Other Mediterranean . In women who are not a Mediterranean diet during pregnancy , the researchers found that 17 % of their children suffer from skin allergies and 6 % of their children had asthma .



4 . Prevent the emergence of allergies in childhood :
A study conducted on 700 children aged 7-18 years in rural areas in Greece . This study successfully demonstrated that children whose Mediterranean -style diet had a lower risk for developing respiratory allergies , skin and penyekit asthma .



5 . Preventing lung disease
A study on 43,000 men in the United States showed that a Mediterranean diet lowers the risk of contracting lung penmyakit like ephysema and bronchitis . Mediterranean -style diet and even lower the risk of contracting this disease among penyekit - smokers .

The impacts of global warming

global warming


In addition to making the earth hotter temperatures , global warming turns out to bring a number of other adverse effects , for example :
1 . Forest fires . In addition to exhausting ice , global warming also makes the forest becomes drier . dry forests is very flammable .
2 . Destructive peningggalan history . Heritage centuries old is now threatened by climate change .
3 . Erosion of mountain peaks . High mountains such as the Alps , for example , often covered by a layer of ice . due to global warming , melting ice becomes very easy . The flow is then scrape the surface of the ice mountains and can lead to landslides .
4 . Speeding satellite . Satellites orbiting the earth experienced friction with the upper atmosphere . due to increasing amounts of carbon dioxide , atmosfor at the top to be colder and harder to move . This results in reduced friction and satellites into satellites accelerate the pace .
5 . Changing the genetic code of living organisms . due to climate change , seasons changed. This season changes disrupt the life cycle of living things , for example , animal breeding cycle . As a result, the internal clock living things must change . The genetic code will inevitably be passed on to succeeding generations .

Historical and Scientific Explanation Regarding Vampire

Vampire


Author modern vampire fiction , including Stephenie Meyer , Anne Rice , Stephen King and many others , have many unique and interesting knowledge about the vampire . But where did the idea of ??the modern vampire come from? The answer lies in the gap between science and superstition .
Some sources trace the origins of the vampire as a Romanian prince Vlad Tepes (1431-1476) , who fought for independence against the Ottoman Empire . Although most people consider it brutal and sadistic ( eg , slowly impale his enemies at the stake , burning them to death , etc. ) , in fact he was not overly cruel or not always cruel . Similar techniques are used by the Catholic Church and the ruling entity during the Middle Ages to torture and kill the enemy .


Bram Stoker is said to have mimic some aspects of the character Count Dracula Vlad Tepes . Although Tepes inspire modern vampire fiction , vampire ternyat roots are very different indeed . As a cultural entity , a vampire is a worldwide phenomenon . According to anthropologist Paul Barber , author of " Vampires , Burial , and Death , " almost every culture has some version of the local vampire stories , and surprisingly has similarities with the European vampire stories .


Beliefs about vampires actually comes from superstition and false assumptions about the decomposition of a body after death . The first record of the vampire circulated in Europe in the Middle Ages . These stories follow a consistent pattern : unexplained misfortune will befall one's cause , family , or they may be a drought dried up crops , or infectious disease outbreak .


Before science can explain weather patterns and germ theory , any adverse event that was not clear why blame the vampire . Vampire is an easy answer to the question of why bad things happen to good people . In those days , people combine their belief that something has condemned them and the fear of death , and then conclude that it may be that a dead person responsible for their misfortune , after the person has re-emerged from the grave with malicious intent . Suspected graves of people who would normally be excavated . Villagers then surprised and often assume the usual decomposition process as supernatural phenomena .


For example , a layman might assume that the body would decompose quickly , after the burial however , if the sealed coffin and buried in the winter , decay may be delayed for weeks or months ; intestinal bloating decomposition can create force blood up to mouth , so it looks as if the bodies were recently sucked blood . This process is understood by modern doctors through the coroner , but for society in medieval Europe it is considered a sign that vampires were real and there among them .


Although the original vampire is long gone , their legacy survive and vampires continue to fascinate the world . Presumably both the science and the wooden pegs would never kill a vampire .

Diet To Improve Brain Performance

Diet


Food is a source of nutrients for the body , including the human brain . It was no surprise when we eat eat very influential to the ability of our brain . Effect of dietary nutrients can not be felt immediately but must be consumed on a regular basis is good for breakfast , lunch and dinner . The following are some of the types of food consumed to improve the performance of the human brain .



breakfast
The food we eat in the morning is the most important food for our bodies . These foods are the first source of nutrients that enter our bodies , and will affect the performance of the organs of the body throughout the day . In the morning meal is recommended to consume , low-fat foods such as fruits . Based on the research , fruits proved to increase the alertness of the brain in thinking . Beside rich in vitamins , fruits are also a source of antioxidants that can improve the immune system . It should be remembered , for ulcer patients avoid acidic fruits such as oranges .


Coffee and tea is a drink that is very good at breakfast time . Kafeine contained in both these beverages can increase the concentration of thought, reaction and perspicacity . Coffee and tea are also a source of antioxidants that support the immune system. Based on a research conducted in 2002 , proved even coffee can ward off Alzheimer's disease and mental decline due to aging .



Avoid foods that are high in fat and cholesterol , for example , meat , sausage , and eggs . In addition to difficult to digest , these foods can inhibit blood flow to the brain .


lunch
At lunch are advised to consume a diet rich in protein , for example , fish . Beside rich in protein , fish also contains the amino acid tyrosine . According to experts , the amino acids can stimulate the emergence of dopamine and norepinephrine . In addition to keeping the brain 's performance during the day , active dopamine can also prevent us from Parkinson's disease .


Legumes such as soybeans , is also a very good source of protein consumed . In addition to containing protein , beans are also lower in fat than meat , can lower cholesterol , and rich in iron , manganese , phosphorus and zinc . Soy can even prevent the onset of osteoporosis in women .
[Image ] Avoid eating rice , noodles , bread and sweet foods during the day . These foods contain a lot of sugar which can reduce the response of the human brain that makes us sleepy .


dinner
By the time dinner is recommended to consume foods rich in carbohydrates , such as potatoes , noodles cereal , oats , and rice . Carbohydrates in food will turn into serotonin which will make the brain become more relaxed . A relaxed brain will make us sleep more soundly so that the body will be refreshed tomorrow .


Oat is the best choice for dinner . Besides containing carbohydrates , these foods are also able to suppress the levels of cholesterol and rich in fiber which helps digestion .


Avoid foods that are high in protein at night . Also avoid drinking energy drinks or supplements brain at night . Energy drinks usually contain caffeine which makes it difficult for the rest of our brain .

Sea existence on Saturn Moon

Saturn Moon


Ithaca Chasma fracture structures on the surface of Tethys , a moon of Saturn .


Tethys, one of Saturn's moon , is believed to have been below the sea surface. Berlembah - valley structure on the surface of Tethys allegedly formed due to the flow of water from the bottom which then freezes . This structure was named Ithaca Chasma .


Scientists estimate the giant cracks in the surface of Tethys was caused by the flow of warm water from the bottom . Due to the temperature at the surface of Tethys is very low , the water immediately freezes . These estimates are presented in the Conference on Science scientists Month and Planetke - 39 in Houston , Texas , USA . This conclusion is obtained through the results of calculations performed Errina Chen and Francis Nimmo of the University of California , Santa Cruz , USA . The flow of warm currents from the bottom is the temperature around the fault causes the giant Ithaca Chasma warmer .


The researchers argue , first orbit of Tethys on Saturn's moon interact with other named Dione . As a result of this interaction , turmoil under the skin that forms Tethys upward flow of warm water . Due to certain conditions , the interaction between Tethys and Dione ended so , Tethys continues to cool .


Freezing water in the Tethys pose thrust to the surface , causing the appearance of cracks . The water had been estimated around 100 kilometers below the surface of Tethys .


Tethys grouped into icy objects in the solar system , which is estimated to contain pockets of water beneath its surface . Included in this group , Planet Juipter month named European and Callisto . Another Saturn moon , Enceladus could also suspected of having the sea .

Aged 4300 Discovered Tomb in Saqqara

Saqqara


The archaeologists found two tombs at Saqqara 4,300 years old which is located 30 kilometers south of Cairo , Egypt . The second tomb made ??of stone and built for high officials predicted .
"Today we announce a big and important findings in Saqqara , the discovery of new stone age 4,300 parents know then , " said the head of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Archaeological Heritage , Zahi Hawass told reporters on Monday ( 22/12 ) . According to Hawass , the discovery of the two tombs are the beginning of finding a large and spacious cemetery .


Previously , the process of extracting only focus near the site of two pyramids , the Pyramid of King Djoser and the Pyramid of Unas , the last king of the fifth dynasty . Meanwhile , the location of the discovery of the two tombs is almost not been touched . " This means the royal cemetery is bigger than we imagined , " said archaeologist Saleh Suleiman , who served the second dig the grave .


Hawas added , excavation will continue, and subsequent findings will lead to the discovery of the fifth and sixth dynasties funeral Old Kingdom who ruled about 4,000 years ago .


At the top of one of the tomb door wide x 2.5 meters 90 centimeters written about a man , Yaamat , whereas in the second tomb , which is two times wider than the first tomb , there are carvings and images of a woman who was sitting .


Aidan Dodson , a researcher at the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology University of Bristol , UK , said the findings of the two tombs are not very meaningful . However , the possibility of finding a funeral to larger meaning . " These findings suggest that the vacant land at Saqqara map is not completely empty . Archaeologists who have not only dug it , " said Dodson .


Excavations at Saqqara have been going on for 150 years and resulted in the discovery of pyramids , tombs , and cemeteries of the era of the Old Kingdom , including archaeological sites in the Roman era . During excavation , the new findings are routinely found . Last November , Hawass announced the discovery of a new pyramid in Egypt to 118 , and 12th in Saqqara .


Hawass said , only about 30 percent of the monuments in Egypt were found , while the rest are still buried in the sand .

Shimabara Rebellion One Story Dark In Japanese History

Shimabara Rebellion


Rebellion Shimabara ( Shimabara no ran ) was an armed uprising in the early Edo period . This uprising involving farmers , Christians and ronin in Shimabara Peninsula , Hizen Province . Shimabara Rebellion lasted from 1637 until early 1638 . Shimabara Rebellion was the first major uprising since the unification of Japan by the Tokugawa clan . There are two reasons behind the emergence of the Shimabara Rebellion , the excessive tax burden and oppression of Christianity .


background
In the Sengoku period Shimabara is Arima clan territory . Arima clan and most of the population in Nagasaki has embraced the spread of Christianity by the Spanish missionaries . In 1615 , Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated the Toyotomi clan , his last rival in the Battle of Osaka . As a result , Arima supporting Toyotomi clan lost their territory . Shimabara then given to Matsukura Shigemasa . Initially , Shigemasa gentle acts against Christians in Nagasaki . However , to ensure loyalty to the shogun , Shigemasa began to oppress Christians .
uprising
In the fall of 1637 , 16 farmers were arrested and sentenced to death . This is because they pray in a Christian way . This incident aroused the anger of the people . They attacked and killed a tax collector named Hayashi Hyozaemon . The unrest quickly spread to the surrounding area . The rebels attacked government offices and Buddhist temples . They also killed the officials and monks . The victim's head was brought to the castle owned by Matsukura Katsuie Shimabara . The rebels took Amakusa Shiro , who was a teenager , as their leader . Amakusa Shiro is the son Masuda Jinbei , a follower of the former daimyo Konishi Yukinaga .


Karatsu , the people took up arms and surrounded the two castles are Hondo Terazawa clan and Tomioka . When the palace was in critical condition , the government forces were brought in from other areas on the island of Kyushu . Government troops repulsed the rebels succeed . The siege led by Amakusa Shiro at Shimabara Castle also successfully broken . They retreated and kekuasaankonsolidasi in the ruins of Hara Castle . Hara Castle is a former Arima clan castle while they are still in power . As of December 3, 1637 , the number of rebels gathered at Hara Castle reached 35,000 people . They consist of a ronin , farmers , and civilians , including women , children , and parents . They build a solid defense at Hara Castle . They have enough weapons , ammunition , and food supplies .


Most of their supplies come from a warehouse owned by Matsukura .
On December 27, 1637 , the rebels defeated the governor of Nagasaki, Terazawa Katataka . From 3000 Katataka troops , only about 200 people left . Katataka back and ask for help from the central government to crush the rebels . On January 3, 1638 , government forces under the command of Itakura Shigemasa arrived in Nagasaki . This force consists of more than 30,000 people . They managed to defeat the rebels in a battle . Government forces continued to chase and encircle the rebels at Hara Castle . However , a very strong defense of Hara Castle . The first attack caused many casualties on the government side , including Shigemasa own .


end Rebellion
By mid- February 1638 , the rebels have started entering a difficult period . Food and ammunition running low . Some dare to infiltrate the rebel forces to the government camp to steal food . Unfortunately , they were caught and sentenced to death . Matsuidara ordered autopsy of their bodies . They are only found in the stomach of grass and foliage . Matsuidara felt it was time to launch a massive attack . He decided to launch the raid on February 29 . However , the day before the army led by Nabeshima Katsushige already started to attack .


On March 10, 1638 , the entire government forces have been concentrated in Shimabara . In April , a great battle broke out between 27,000 and 125,000 troops rebel government . The rebells suffered defeat and had to retreat . On April 12, 1638, troops from Hizen Kuroda Tadayuki successfully penetrate the outer defenses under Hara Castle . Amakusa Shiro was killed in battle . The uprising was laid on April 15 , after fierce fighting and much bloodshed .


After the rebellion was crushed , as many as 37,000 rebels and sympathizers massive beheaded , including women and children . Amakusa head was taken to Nagasaki and displayed in public . Hara fortress burned with the bodies of the rebels in it . Christianity was banned in Japan and Christian followers were persecuted and hunted . Western nations Portuguese , Spanish and others expelled from Japan . However , the Dutch were rewarded with a trading post at Dejima for their help during the war . Then , from the small island of Japan opened his eyes to the outside world after isolating themselves during the Edo period .

Cheap Lamp Technology of Aluminum Foil

Lamp Technology of Aluminum Foil


Soon we will be able to find the light that thin , bright flame and low cost on the market .
Currently , researchers from the University of Illinois have successfully developed a cheap lamp made ??of aluminum foil . These lights are much lighter , brighter and more efficient than light bulb or fluorescent light is now on the market .


According to Gary Eden , the leader of the research , they will try to suppress the price of their creation lights to a minimum. Valuable high technology is more perfect biasany however , may not necessarily be enjoyed by many people . The development of this low cost lights , of course, will be able to help millions of poor people around the world .


Gary Eden and his team members , is one of the many researchers who are trying to develop a more efficient lighting equipment , durable and mercury free .
[Image ]
Bright beam of light bulbs Thomas Edison's creations have managed to make this technology survived for over a hundred years . Unfortunately , the work of Edison's lamp is not energy efficient . The next generation of lamps , which are often referred to neon , are more energy efficient . However , these bulbs contain mercury which is harmful for living organisms and the environment . Lights work Gary Eden and his friends are a new alternative to
light sources are energy efficient and environmentally friendly .


Eden Gary 's work lights made ??of aluminum foil soaked in acid akbatnya , light surface is filled by small cracks . Reaction with acid , also change the aluminum into aluminum oxide called sapphire . Sapphire is a solid structure that can be different voltages without damaging the lamp . cracks contained in the lamp is then filled with the gas , the entire surface is coated with glass bulbs .
[Image ]
The thickness of the light is less than one millimeter . Aluminum is also a elestis material , so the shape of the lamp can be adjusted to the shape of the surface where installed .


This flexible lamp not only has the potential to be used in residential and office buildings but also , used in medicine . The doctors from Massachusetts General Hospital have expressed their interest to take advantage of this light to treat psoriasis . Psoriasis is one type of skin cancer which now affects more than 5 % of world population . Although the disease is not found a cure , ultraviolet irradiation with a specific wavelength can alleviate the impact of this disease . Currently , the cost of psoriasis treatment is quite expensive . In one week , the patient must consult and undergo therapy as much as several times .


With the invention of the aluminum lamp , expected costs can be reduced psoriasis sufferers . Lights of aluminum foil can be arranged wavelength , wrapped in hygienic , and sold in pharmacies . People with psoriasis can obtain this lamp easily and paste on the affected skin with the use of plaster . Thus , psoriasis sufferers no longer need to visit the hospital .


Currently, the Lighting Efficiency Coalition ( Coalition for efficient light source ) , is trying to approach lighting companies such as Philips Lighting , and government officials in America . They hope that by 2016 , all outstanding conventional lamps have been replaced with energy-efficient products and environmentally friendly . Aluminum foil lamps creation of Gary Eden and colleagues is one of the central technologies they are proposing .

Titan Oil Reserves

Titan Oil


Recently, the researchers claim that Titan , one of Saturn's satellites that atmosphere are thick , saves the content of the natural gas and other hydrocarbon liquids are hundreds of times more than that contained in the Earth .
When this has been found several hundred lakes and seas on Titan's north polar region . To project the potential of natural resources there , the scientists measured the water depth using a comparator Titan lakes on Earth , where the lake depth is often less than 10 meters .


" The depth of the lake is estimated to be some 10 meters , because they looked very dark in radar . If shallow , we will be able to see the bottom , " said Ralph Lorenz of applied physics laboratory at Johns Hopkins University .


The conclusion obtained by NASA 's Cassini spacecraft monitoring . Cassini has now surveyed 20 percent of Titan 's surface . The observation results also showed that the content of the natural resources in some areas of the Titan already melebihisemua content in the earth's natural resources ( oil, natural gas and coal ) .


Nonetheless , Titan human uninhabitable . According to scientists , Titan's surface does not contain water , but of liquid hydrocarbons in the form of methane and ethane , while Titan formed from tholins mainland . This condition is allegedly similar to Earth in a time before there was life .


" We estimate there are similar Events at Titan's south polar region , but we do not yet know how much liquid content in there , " said Ralph . According to this data is important because of its lifetime Titan depends on how much the amount of methane contained in the liquid there .


If the methane content expires, the temperature on Titan will be getting colder , which is currently known to minus 179 degrees Celsius . Assumptions while , the methane content of diminishing returns through volcanic eruptions , which is thought to have led to dramatic temperature fluctuations in the past .


According to Ralph , to understand the complexities that occur on Titan can help us understand the origin of life in the universe .
