Found, Second Reference about Apocalypse 2012

MEXICO CITY, — Archaeologists discovered the Mayan calendar in an age old Mayan city that has collapsed, located in the tropical rain forest of Guatemala.
< ; br/> Calendars that are written in letters of nails were found along with murals of the king and his aide. Apparently, the calendar has been found to be a reference for astronomers and mathematicians around the year 800 AD./>
Most interestingly, this calendar did not show that the world would end in late 2012./>
” The Mayan calendar will continue to run to billions, trillions, and oktilion years in the future, ” said David Stuart of the University of Texas who participated in this study.
/> Calendar was discovered in the room measuring approximately 2 x 2 meters, on the eastern wall of the room. Calendar/>
found to show some kind of calendar cycles, as celebration of the 260-day calendar, the calendar 365 days of sun, the planet Venus cycle of 584 calendar days, and 780 day calendar cycle of Mars./>
Meanwhile, on the north wall of the room there is the Mayan calendar and the calculation of the Moon, Sun, and possibly Venus and Mars. There, there are hints that the time was to last until 7000 or so years in the future./>
” Why they came in such numbers if the world will end this year, ” said Anthony Aveni of Colgate University in New York, an expert on Mayan astronomy , as quoted by the Daily Mail , Thursday (05/10/2012).

Earlier, in the Maya calendar known 400-year period called baktun . On December 21, 2012 an estimated 13 baktun had been overcome. And, this is the major cause of the circulation of rumors on the day of Resurrection.

However, according to Stuart, after 13 baktun , which happens only to the new cycle . The discovery of the Mayan calendar this time will support it.

” There’s more in it than just the Mayan calendar baktun 13 , ” Stuart said, as quoted by Space, on Thursday.

There are 24 units of time that could be associated with this calendar. Meanwhile, only five were found, and it was a very long time. Noted also that the Mayan calendar reaches 17 baktun ./>
The findings were published in the journal Science , Friday (05/11/2012).

Complex where calendar and the mural was found called Xultun. Although discovered since 1915, only 0.1 percent of these complexes are explored./>
Findings mural calendar and time is quite a big discovery. It shows the Mayans expertise in mathematics and astronomy. At the same time, describing the activity of the king and the experts on the Maya.

Manta rays (Manta birostris)1 Exeter, – Pari manta, fish reached 7.62 meters wide, has long been a mystery. Little is known of the fish which is sometimes also called sea bats.

In a recent study using satellite, scientists managed to uncover some secrets about the manta ray. Among them about the behavior and distance movement of these fish./>
” The satellite sends the data reveals that migrate as far as manta rays up to 1100 kilometers over the study period, ” said Matthew Witt , scientists from the Environment and Sustainability Institute, University of Exeter. ” Pari manta spent most of his time around the coastal areas rich in zooplankton and fish eggs, Witt added ” kepadaLivescience on Saturday (12/05/2012). < ; br/>
Pari manta is a filter feeder animals. He was looking for food with open mouths, collecting zooplankton. Manta rays menghasibkan said many times in the waters is about 3.2 kilometers from the coast./>
Howard Rosenbaum of the Wildlife Conservation Society said the study is extremely important in developing management manta rays, whose number began to decline globally./>
Pari manta into the category of endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Many manta rays into the side of the fishermen who catch fish such as shark hunt./>
Pari devilfish manta sometimes called ” ” but not harmful to humans. This fish can not sting like other types of rays. Research reveals that the ratio of the brain and the body’s largest manta rays than sharks and rays.

Researchers revealed that the manta ray with a satellite tracking offers a way to understand the global migration of these fish as well as the threat. The results were published in the journal PLoS ONE.

Diving in Wakatobi.1 WANGI-WANGI, — Agency of the United Nations (UN) to take care of education and culture, UNESCO, establishing the National Park (TN) Sea Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi (Southeast Sulawesi), as a world biosphere reserve in Indonesia, without conditions./>
Wakatobi Regent, Hugua, Wangi-Wangi on Thursday, said the TN Wakatobi UNESCO establish an area of ??1.3 million acres a world biosphere reserve it with 12 other in the world.

According Hugua, designation as a biosphere reserve Wakatobi world agreed at the meeting of the International Advisory Committee for the ” Biosphere Reserve UNESCO MAB Programme ” 18th in Paris on 2 to 4 April 2012.

” At that meeting, there are 26 areas that covered a world biosphere reserve, but the approved only 13 regions, including the Wakatobi, while other areas received five notes and five other regions declined, ” he said.

He said, with the stipulation Wakatobi as world biosphere reserve, the biosphere reserves in Indonesia in July 2012 will be a total of eight regions.

According Hugua, there are three UNESCO-protected interest in determining TN Wakatobi as the center of the world biosphere reserve, the local wisdom Wakatobi community, environmental sustainability, and economic interests of a sustainable society./>
” Local knowledge is protected in the Wakatobi is related to the cultural traditions of communities in natural treats and take something from nature, and ; quot; he said.

While environmental sustainability need to be protected as marine waters Wakatobi has a diversity of coral reefs and marine life which is quite high compared to other regions in the world. < ; br/>
The number of species of coral reefs in Wakatobi waters reached 750 850 species of coral reef species. In the Caribbean Sea is much visited by tourists, particularly divers, has only 50 species of coral, while the Red Sea only 300 species.

For economic interests to be protected, according to Hugua, how people in Wakatobi region can leverage the potential of existing natural resources in a sustainable manner, without disturbing the environmental balance./>
” three interests that are pushing the UNESCO makes Wakatobi marine waters as a central reserve the world’s biosphere, ” he said.

Researchers from the National Museum of Natural Science Apanyol (MNCN-CSIC) and University of Valencia is estimated that the relative small panda, lived during the Myocene, about 11 million years ago./>
” bear this group is small, even smaller than the bears Honey, now is the smallest bear species. Relative size of the pandas is not more than 60 kg, ” said Juan Albella of the Department of paleontology, MNCN-CSIC.

Although it is difficult to imagine the physical character of this panda family, because the only fossil teeth were found, scientists estimate that these animals have dark feathers with white spot chest, around the eyes and near the tail./>
” The style is quite primitive feathers to bear, giant panda has white spots are very large so that it looked like a white with black spots, ” said Abella./>
Agriarctos Beatrix is a relative of the giant panda, including in the family Ursidae. This species is thought to be more passive than other bear species are likely to actively hunt for prey, such as brown bears and polar bears.

According to researchers, Agriarctos Beatrix only eat fruits and leaves and sometimes small vertebrates, insects, honey and animals that have died. This type of prey escape by taking to the high trees.

Abella, as quoted by ScienceDaily, Wednesday (05/09/2012), said, ” We know that < ; em> Agriarctos Beatrix is a different type because of differences in morphology and size of the teeth. ” “/>
We’ve compared it with a species that has a close kinship as < ; em> Agriarctos and the hiodup in the same period as Ursavus and Indarctos. The results of research published in the journal Estudios Geol

LIPI Offer Robotic Technology for Logistics

LIPI
LIPI1 JAKARTA, – Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) offers robotic technology for the distribution of commodity operating systems to support the implementation of the national logistics system.

” With everything robotic systems become faster and cheaper, because it is more efficient and effective, ” said Head of Mechatronics LIPI Estiko Rijanto in international logistics seminar in Jakarta on Tuesday./>
Estiko cited , using the latest advanced technology in the logistics system in China makes the country’s commodity prices are very cheap and can compete at the global level.

While the logistics system in Indonesia is not efficient, according to Head of LIPI Prof. Lukman Hakim, has led to unreasonable price gap and make commodity imports cheaper than local products.

” For example, China imported oranges are cheaper than the price of oranges in the country. How could Indonesia can compete in the global and domestic market if the price of its products expensive. And it all started from an inefficient logistics system, ” he said.

Statistical data shows, logistics costs in Indonesia are among the highest in ASEAN, which amounted to 27 percent of domestic product (GDP). Ideally the cost of logistics in the country does not exceed 15 percent of GDP.

Minister of Research and Technology Prof. Gusti Muhammad Hatta said the government has issued Presidential Decree No. 26/2012 on the blueprint for the development of the national logistics system to reduce logistics costs and reduce uncertainty in economic activity.

” Need improved to support the passage of this system namely infrastructure development, such as international seaports, railways, airports, roads and bridges, to other aspects such as technology, ” he said.

LIPI support the implementation of the blueprint to develop mechatronics technology and information and communication technology needs of national logistics system.

This is the result of research investigators from the University of Iowa.Ukurannya more than 27 feet, or approximately 8.3 meters. For comparison, the largest Nile crocodiles measuring less than 21 feet (6.4 meters). ” This is the largest crocodile ever, ” said Christopher Brochu, the researcher, as quoted by ScienceDaily ;, Friday (05/04/2012). species is named crocodile Crocodylus thorbjarnarsoni. this type of living in a period of 2-4 million years lalu.Buaya giant fossil was found by analysis of the stored at the National Museum of Kenya in Nairobi. ” This crocodile co-exist with our ancestors, and might take them up Brochu.Memang ” no evidence that this crocodile ate humans. However, the size of a large crocodile is quite empowering.

BANDA ACEH, Ecosystem Lestari Foundation — activists say, the population of orangutans (Pongo pygmaenus abelii ) in Sumatra, 200 live birds. This is extremely worrying and cause damage to their habitat are protected it.

” In the 2000′s population of Sumatran orangutans in the area above 1,000, but in 2012 it was under 200 because most are already extinct due to their environment destroyed, ” said environmental lawyer YEL Aceh, Halim, in Meulaboh, on Monday (07/05/2012).

” During this information was covered because there will be the opening of new land in this region, and ; quot; he said.

Halim said, as long as this issue is being heralded in Bukit Lawang Orangutan, Langkat, North Sumatra, while the region is only a small part of this primate population./>

The advent of the Great Sumatran Fault

admin — Mon, 07 May 2012 04:33:36 +0000

1COMPASS / Henry H PrabowoSipoholon geothermal water sources in North Tapanuli, North Sumatra, Sunday (26/2). Dense residential tourist area is located directly across Sumatra Fault lines of Weh Island in Aceh to Lampung Bay Semangko. – The formation of ” Great Sumatran Fault ” started since millions of years ago when Plate (Ocean) hit Australia in the Indian-western part of Sumatra menyerong which became part of the Plate (Continental) Eurasia. Menyerong collision triggered the emergence of two force components./>
The first component is an upright, dragging the tip of the Indian plate into the bottom plate of Sumatra. The second limit of this plate to a depth of 40 kilometers Regas and generally have properties in several places terekat closely. At one point, the accumulated pressure could no longer hold so as to produce an earthquake centered in the subduction zone or subduction zones. After that, the contact area will glue again to return someday be a big earthquake. Earthquakes in this zone that often trigger a tsunami, as happened in Aceh on December 26, 2004.

The second component of horizontal force parallel to the direction of the trough and the western part of the island is dragged westward the sea. Styles that create longitudinal cracks parallel to the plate boundary, which became known as the Great Sumatran Fault. Geologists Katili in The Great Sumatran Fault (1967) mentions, these cracks are formed in the Middle Miocene period, or about 13 million years ago.

Earth Plate in the western part of Sumatra Fault is always moving toward northwest at 10 mm per year to 30 mm per year relative to the eastern part. As in subduction zones, areas of Sumatra Fault to a depth of 10 km-20 km locked tightly so that the accumulation of pressure.

At one point, the accumulated pressure is so great that the contact area on the fault zone no longer hold back and then broke. Rocks on either side suddenly bounced strongly that there was a major earthquake. After the earthquake, the fault area will re-glue and locked again and gathered elastic pressure until one day a big earthquake again.
/> Epicenter of the earthquake in Sumatra Fault is generally shallow and close to settlements. Perceived impact of the energy released is very hard and usually very destructive. Moreover, the earthquake in the fault zone is always accompanied by horizontal movement that causes the breakdown of land that will tear down the building on it. Topography along the fault zone is surrounded by the Bukit Barisan can also trigger landslides. The soil is covered with a layer of volcanic ash further strengthen the effects of earthquake shocks.

Some places in the Great Sumatra Fault is too weak to penetrate the zone of magma within the Earth. Earthquake vibrations can cause the water surface in contact with magma. Therefore, at the time of earthquakes, frequent bursts of steam (phreatic explosion) which can be followed by the emergence of toxic gas, as happened in the Suoh, Alabama, in 1933.
