When Logic Petrified


If people you know and close to you to act strangely as well as acting out of the ordinary, you should be suspicious! If a person believes a certain ideology or doctrine and angry when something which he believed was contested, you are obliged to investigate. Because it was feared he had been influenced by or is under the influence of a person or group of people (brainwashed) and used for purposes that are not accountable.
Brainwashing is an attempt to influence a person's mind he was willing and able to do things against his will. Another term is indoctrination. According to experts psikologimotivasi Faculty of Psychology, University of Gadjah Mada, Good Riyono, brainwashing can be done with hypnosis, suggestion, creation of conditions for someone to be easily influenced, or through the learning process. Condition, a person must be unconscious and unable to control himself. And to qualify, the victim's mind must be as tired as possible with the provision of physical activity nan heavy loads or heavy thoughts. But, a tired brain can not guarantee the victim's brain washed. Humans can think back to what has been said of others depending on previous education. It will affect a person's belief structure, the way a person make sense of conviction, and the way she make sense of his actions. People who are more easily indoctrinated is the person who originally had extreme beliefs that are not open to the beliefs and way of thinking. The process of brainwashing can be done through speeches, lectures, or talk over things that give meaning and make sense of the situation and believed the role himself.
Indoctrination cause people who previously have weak bonds to have a very strong bond yan. As a result, he would do anything for the things he believed. As an example, someone who relamelakukan suicide bombing or a girl who ran away from home for the men she loved. It happened because of lack of understanding and appreciation of a thing, thinking that no trace, and lack of patience in solving the problem. Good added that the kinds of beliefs do not determine a person's extremities but his belief structure and how it interpret its role in defending the faith.

The key is the Soul and Personality

"Easy least one affected the other person does not depend on the condition of the organs of someone's brain because the form of brain anatomy everyone equally. Easy to whether a person is affected depends on the condition of his soul," says Professor of Neurology Faculty of Medicine, University of Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta and Sardjito Hospital, Samekto Wibowo.
But the indoctrination will impact on the chemical composition changes and interfere with brain function. The composition of the brain can be used as indicators of a person's psychological condition. In addition, brain washing will remove the short-term memory of victims. While the long-term memory can also be lost depending on the size of new elements are inserted. Brainwashing is a psychological problem, which is why the settlement should be with psychological counseling. Not with drugs.
Meanwhile, according to Director of Mental Health Ministry of Health, Irmansyah, brainwashing process will not damage the organs of a person's brain. He added that the strength of one's personality determines whether or not he's easily influenced.

Educated Not Pressured!

Good Riyono argues, for it takes a tough person to bring up a good education process. Education is enlightening and without pressure, exemplary, to the communication system to those who can not tolerate a difference to rearrange the structure of beliefs.
Education in the family will affect a person's worldview. Those who are accustomed to receiving harsh upbringing (physical or mental) would likely be a tough person. Education is the process dogmatif without giving any reason for all the things that do will make people closed off from other people's opinions. inability to give any reason someone does not make logic and emotions run strong. When emotions are stronger then the logic petrified and weakened.
Communication should be done with the balanced without pressure. Pressure exerted on those who have a strong belief structure instead reinforced their belief structure. It can even lead to sympathy from those who previously rejected it hard belief structure.

4 Category Brain Waves

  • Beta (14-30 Hz) are very aware, alert, full of concentration, not sleepy, unable to control themselves
  • Alpha (8 to 13.9 Hz): relaxed, focused, unaware light (light trance), the condition before going to sleep, meditation, conscious but getting sleepy, early unconscious, the best conditions for learning
  • Theta (4 to 7.9 Hz): deep meditation, sleep "chickens", not dreaming, imagination
  • Delta (1 to 3.9 Hz): dreamless sleep, unconsciousness, loss of self-control

And You Too Will Cry Over Losing You ?





European leagues already finished and left the champions and teams that compete. Championship team and a losing party is motivated to be stronger again next season. But if the game's championship teams are remembered more people in a long time? Not necessarily. It could be that teams that failed championship will continue to be remembered for his performance in the field during the competition. Because connoisseurs prefer football teams that play attractive and able to invite admiration than the teams that play it safe. They will always be remembered for many people though not infrequently suffer defeat. Well, football does not matter win or lose.
"If 5, 10, or 15 years from now people still remember the style of game that we demonstrate this, it was a huge success for us." Said Josep Guardiola, coach FC Barcelona, ​​Champions League 2010-2011, as quoted by website UEFA press conference (Friday, May 27, 2011). Pep Guardiola-calling-add, "the way we play this year has made many people happy. I do not think it will change, whether we win mauapun defeat against United." Pep Guardiola has been instrumental in Barcelona's 1-0 win over Sampdoria at the Champions Cup Final in 1992, at Wembley Stadium, London (England). At that pep is still actively playing and it was Barcelona's first title in the event's most prestigious championship in Europe. Pep and his friends then coached by Johan Cruyff. People are taught that football is not matter win or lose.
As quoted by the Times, Johan Cruyff said the success win the trophy is a fantastic success. However, if success is not achieved, it is not something to be lamented. "Champion is one thing, the important thing. However, to come up with your own style to make people imitate and admire you. That's the greatest gift," said Cruyff. Johan Cruyff's not talk without a foundation. He shared his experiences while still active as a player.
Johan Cruyff is a legend of football Ajax Amsterdam and the Netherlands. At club level, a variety of trophies he has got. But he must be content with winning the runner-up in the 1974 World Cup. The Netherlands lost to West Germany that was reinforced by the genius of Franz Beckenbauer. However, many people are still talking about the game Cruyff and friends who carry the attacking style of football "Total Football". The style became the basis of Dutch clubs game time until now although much has changed. "We lost the final and biggest promotions that we got," said Cruyff. Yeah, right. Many clubs outside the Netherlands to imitate the style of Total Football, including Barcelona. Technique of the players (including Cruyff techniques) are also much imitated.
"Being a champion is just one day. A reputation can be remembered for a lifetime. You see, the name Barcelona has spread worldwide," said Cruyff who want to educate the community through soccer as it did in Barcelona.

Implanted At La Masia

FC Barcelona is one of the big clubs in Spain owned by its members (other than Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna). The Catalan club has about 170,000 members and emphasized the slogan és mes que un club ("more than just a club"). Barcelona's success rather than something that is instant. Barcelona has La Masia, Barcelona's football academy which has become an international example for education and development of young players. Development of young age at La Masia is different from the model development of sport in America, which is generally based on the school. La Masia is also different from most colleges in Europe, where the first-class talent to leave school at age 15 to focus on football.
In Barcelona, ​​many players take the B team in college. One example is Andres Iniesta. "It is surprising many people," said Carles Folguera, Director of La Masia, as quoted by The New York Times. "They think the players here just to play football and not to learn. We are preparing them for sport, but also equip with other future if the sport is not suitable for them," said Carles.
"The parents gave us something they think is most valuable-their children-at-prone age. It is important to show them the meaning of hard work and humility. Talent alone is not enough. You have to humble and to be normal, it is allowed parents so proud, "said Carles.
Claudio Reyna (the former captain of the U.S. National Team) said, "in Barcelona, ​​they educate the players and the victory comes by itself." The man who is now a Technical Director Age U.S. Youth Soccer adds, "I believe that when a player develops an impact on the environment calm and reasonable. They're not judged if you win constantly. They just look for players who have a football brain."
Football is not about winning or losing. But the victory is produced by a team that plays attractive. Well, that's my opinion. Barcelona is the proof. The champion has won his fourth Champions League with a stunning performance the audience.

Mars, Wait Us !

Some science fiction film tells of human life on other planets. They conquered the environment that virtually uninhabitable earth beings with the technology they are very modern. They formed a settlement, organization, up to a country. They also communicate with the natives and the neighboring planet. For now, it's still a dream for mankind. But it is not likely to materialize in the future. Because the earth needs a friend to share the task of accommodating human populations continue to increase. And the scientists chose Mars.
Mars is the planet Earth's neighbor, a distance of 78.34 million kilometers from Earth. To go to Mars takes about 9 months. Mars has similarities with the Earth's geological circumstances. Volcano, the former regional water sweep, microscopic life beneath the ice sheet, large craters, up to a dry lake. But Mars is not Earth. There are some striking differences between Mars to Earth. Average temperature reaches minus 63 degrees Celsius. Space Radiation in the tens to 2000 milirad per day. With such a radiation dose, spinal cord will be damaged and within 4-5 weeks of humans will die. The radiation comes from the Sun, Cosmic Rays, or other stars who can not afford dammed Martian magnetic field whose strength is low. The thin Martian atmosphere also plays a role in the high radiation. But Mars remains the choice of the experts compared to seven other planets in the Solar System.
Currently scientists are preparing for the landing of humans to Mars plans. It is estimated that this mission will be accomplished in the 2035 to 2040. But according to Director General of the European Space Agency (ESA), Jean Jaques Dordain, landing humans to Mars is not the same as humans to the moon landing. in this case, international cooperation is needed because of the expensive cost of this mission is the biggest obstacle. NASA is the agency's superpowers, the United States, was forced to discontinue their shuttle flights starting next year. They will send astronauts to leave him at the Russian Space Agency (Roskosmos) or private companies.
Besides the costs, which will prepare astronauts to Mars landing mission is also troublesome. Astronauts must be separated from the life of the earth for approximately 2 years. On June 3, 2010 - 5 November 2011, Russian Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP) in collaboration with the Directorate of ESA manned flight to simulate the isolation astronauts to Mars on a mission trip to the round-trip for 520 days. Rohanio their physical state and continue to be monitored.

Private Development


Aerospace company predicted to be dominated private property in the future. One example is Virgin Galactic. Virgin Galactic space tourism offers to people with thick pockets and will start sending tourists in 2012. With a ticket price of U.S. $ 200,000, a person can enjoy adventure travel in space. This price is much smaller than the money paid to the first space tourist, Dennis Tito, in 2001. While other companies sorts Bigelow Aerospace, plans to build the first private space station in 2014 to 2020. The station planned to replace the International Space Station (ISS) who will soon retire.
A number of private airlines are planning to build a small settlement (colony) on the Moon. If colonization is a reality, the facility could become the location of transit to Mars. To refuel or to set flight time utilizing gravity of Mars. With the transit point, the fuel can be saved and the safety of astronauts awake. In addition, the two satellites of Mars Phobos and Deimos is also proposed as a transit. Transit becomes very important because that will be flown to Mars is a vehicle that size space station today.
"The biggest challenge to land a manned spacecraft on Mars is flying spacecraft for space station that exists today, land him in Mars, and back to Earth," said Doug Cooke (Associate Administrator for Exploration Systems Mission Directorate of NASA)

Reveal the Secrets of The Solar System Through Vesta and Ceres

3.5 years is not a short time. 4.8 billion kilometers rather than short distances. But in reality, the Dawn spacecraft's Aviation and Space Agency or NASA United States has approached Vesta with a distance of 1.21 million kilometers, as announced NASA. "When the Dawn orbiting Vesta, it will provide information on celestial bodies for 2 centuries known only as points of light alone", said Chairman of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA engineers, Marc Rayman on Tuesday (May 3, 2011). If all plans go smoothly, the engine driver of a vehicle will diaktifan to enter orbit Vesta on 16 July. When Dawn entered the height of 16,000 kilometers from the surface of Vesta, Dawn will be arrested gravity Vesta. The plan, Dawn will orbit diving 1 year. Sharing equipment at the Dawn will collect various data about the asteroid's shape is like topography, chemical components, surface texture, and the force of gravity. After Vesta, the next research goal is to Ceres.

Dawn is launched at Cape Canaveral (Florida, USA) on September 27, 2007. Dawn's mission is to collect data from the two largest asteroids in the asteroid belt (an area rich in asteroids between Mars and Jupiter). Dawn is equipped with a camera, gamma ray detectors, neutron detectors, and spectrometers. When Dawn reaches a sufficient distance such as the current ideal, all equipment will be activated and controlled from earth. The camera as a navigation aid at the same time ensure the position of Vesta so that guide the navigation of the Earth to determine the path into orbit from Vesta Dawn.

Vesta and Ceres is the largest asteroid. Both have a lot of information is expected to be a big clue in understanding the initial creation of the Solar System, so that the experts chose as the object of research. According to Deputy Chief of NASA's Dawn Mission Researcher Carol Raymond, asteroids material describes the raw materials of the Solar System. Plus, the position of the asteroid belt is expected to explain the differences in character with lanet outer planets because of its position that the separation between the planets in (terrestrial) with the outer planets (Jovian). This study also expected to help understand the origin of life on Earth because the chemical composition of asteroids is more primitive than the Earth. Raymond added, life on Earth is thought to have originated from other life in the past. The collision between the Earth with asteroids in millions of years ago, allegedly triggered the transfer of organic material from sateroid to Earth until forming life on Earth. But until now, experts have not found a link how non-organic matter in the universe turned into organic material promoting the development of living organisms on Earth.

Vesta is called protoplanetary or planetary baby. Vesta is one - the only asteroid known to have the dark-bright like the Moon. Vesta is known to have ancient lava flows and giant kwah shows that Vesta has a geological activity such as Mars and Earth This is obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope image out of 1994. Geological activity like that almost was not found in other asteroids. Findings erode the human perception of asteroids that were previously only seen the rest - the rest of planet formation in the past. This is confirmed Earth-based spectroscopic data that show the character of basaltic rocks Vesta indicating lava flows have occurred on the surface of Vesta. Vesta's core of molten rock that is expected to be created from a collection of radioactive dust from a nearby supernova explosion. Radioactive material to make the core melt Vesta. As a result of material in asteroids are divided into 2 parts, a heavier material near the core and more are on the surface rinagn. The structure is similar to parts of Vesta - the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) which plated. The surface of Vesta did not change until there is a grind and shape meteorid crater 459 kilometers wide. An astronomer University of Georgia (USA), Ben Zellner said, "Vesta has survived in its original form since the formation of the planet more than 4 billion years ago. He presents the evolution of the Solar System records a long and complicated."

Ceres since 2006 despite being classified as a dwarf planet is located in the asteroid belt. Ceres has a characteristic similar to the planet, just do not have a clear orbit. Ceres does not have a molten core like Vesta although its structure is also layered. Ceres surface sections contain ice that its content reaches 25%. Ceres properties similar to the nature of the Jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).

Big Foot



This creature lived alone in the woods. He always leave footprints that resemble human footprints, but it was bigger. Because of that, the creature that became the North American population of this story, called "Big Foot".
Two residents, Bob Patterson and Bob Gimlin claimed to successfully capture Big Foot on october 1967 in Forest Bluff Clerk (California, USA). Although many people consider the photo but the result of engineering experts concluded that the original photo.
Not only those who have seen Big Foot. William Rae, a nature reserve guards in Minesotta (USA), also claimed to have seen Big Foot. He described the Big Foot has more than two meters high. Small flat-nosed and dark-eyed.
While researchers suspect that Big Foot is Gigantopithecus Blacki. Ancient creatures that lived in Asia about 300,000 years ago.

Nessie / Loch Nessie




If you visit the Lake Ness in Scotland, you may be able to hear stories about nessie of the population around the lake. They believe that nessie, monster inhabiting Lake Ness, really exist. The population mendeskrepsikan giant monster nessie as tangible plesiosaurus, one type of long-extinct dinosaurs.
In 1934, R. Keneth Wilson (a surgeon) is able to catch nessie confessed to the camera image. But it proved a false picture in 1990. later on 31 May 2007, a lab technician origin Yorkshire (UK) named Gordon Holmes, nothing has been recording with his video camera nessie.
The researchers tried to ensure the existence of nessie, but until now not been successful. They concluded that nessie is only the shadow object floating in the lake.

Yeti



Yeti become a legend among the population, especially the Himalayan population of Nepal and Tibet. mereha believe that the Yeti really exists. Many climbers, sherpas (guides climbers), and the hunters claimed to have seen it. Even among them there is a yeti footprints photographed. According to them, Yeti tangible giant white gorilla who lived at the highest Himalayan Forest. There, Yeti swinging in the trees with his hands. yeti just out of the forest across the plain of snow to find food that is moss-containing salt. Moss growing on rocks Moraine. But, there also says that Yeti is a lichen diet. As the snow across the field, Yeti walking with his legs and slightly bowed.

Iceberg

Aurora




Do you know about the aurora? Aurora is a natural phenomenon of luminescence light in the sky. Usually, the aurora will be visible only at night and occur in the polar regions. Both the north pole or south pole.
Aurora's happening in the north polar region is called the Aurora Borealis or commonly known as "Northern Polar Lights". This phenomenon occurs in September to October and in March to April. Aurora Borealis seen very clearly in the Arctic Islands north of Canada. Aurora Borealis name given by Pierre Gassendi in 1621. Derived from the word "aurora" which is the name of the Goddess of Dawn in Roman mythology and "borear" (in Greek) which means "wind from the north. Provided that the Aurora Borealis looks reddish or greenish glow from the north, as if the sun will rise from there.

In the southern polar region, the aurora is called Aurora Australis. The word "australis" comes from the Latin meaning "from the south". This phenomenon is called "Southern Polar Lights" has the same nature with the Aurora Borealis. However, the Aurora Australis visible only in Antarctica and a few places in Australia and South America. Especially the closest Antarctica.
Aurora is due to the interaction between the particles of the earth's magnetic field like electrons, protons, and other heavy particles with atoms and molecules found in the earth's ionosphere layers. Atom and particle emitted by the sun and are often called "solar wind".
Aurora comes with a variety of colors and shapes. Color variations due to the influence of atoms, ions, or molecules of constituent and also influenced by the level of solar wind activity. For example, ions or molecules give nitogen pink, green, sky blue, dark blue, or violet. Purple color also comes from neutral helium. Causing oxygen atoms scatter green and red colors. Meanwhile, the bright orange color comes from the neon. Aurora often appears to form a curtain that ran east-west direction or scattering of light. Sometimes, a quiet bow-shaped. In the form of a curtain, every curtain consisting of parallel light parallel to the direction of the magnetic field lines. It was impressive that the aurora is formed by the earth's magnetic field. Aurora forms can be changed by still hanging by the magnetism of the earth.

Not only on Earth


Aurora does not only happen on earth, but also can occur on other planets such as Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Cause the same as what happened on earth.
Jupiter and Saturn have magnetic fields stronger than the earth and also has a radiation belt is greater. Aurora of the two planets are observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. Aurora on Venus appears so bright and spread with various forms and intensity, sometimes spread to all over the planet. On August 14, 2004, SPICAM on Mars Express (a space exploration mission initiated by the European Space Agency) found an aurora on Mars. Precisely at Terra Cimerria, the coordinates of longitude 177 degrees east and latitude 52 degrees south. It is estimated that the aurora has a range of up to 30 km with an altitude of 8 km. Scientists suspect that the aurora emission associated with regions where the strongest magnetic field is localized. This is obtained after studying the map changes of magnetic surface is collected by the Mars Global Surveyor.
Not only the main course on the planet. Aurora can also occur on the planet escorts (satellite). Until now, the aurora can be observed only on Io, Europa, and which is Ganymade satellites of Jupiter with the Hubble Space Telescope.

Most Amazing

On 28 August and 2 September 1859, in the northern hemisphere, occurs aurora is most amazing, very bright and most extensive coverage. The incident was caused by large storms and the results geomagnetic be called the Aurora Storm.
By Balfour Stewart, the event was recorded by magnetografph at Kew Observatory, London. Then he published a paper to the Royal Society on 21 November 1861 which contained allegations that the aurora which occurred on 2 September 1859 is the impact of Carrintgon -Hodgson solar flare which occurred on 1 September 1859.
Besides Balfour Stewart, ship officers and newspapers in the U.S., Japan, Europe, Australia and even the aurora was also documented. As already reported one of the leading U.S. newspapers, the New York Times, that on Friday, 2 September 1859 occurred most amazing aurora can be seen very clearly from the city of Boston (USA). At the same time at Kew Observatory magnetograph noted geomagnetic storm for an hour.

Snow

Snow is...

Snow



Snow is a piece of ice crystals and soft white that falls from the clouds. Snow usually found in north and south poles. In addition, snow can be found in the region that enjoys four distinct seasons. Exactly when winter arrives. Although it was hard snow occurs in tropical areas, but snow can be found in high places like the top of the mountain. Examples are found in the snow in Puncak Jaya Wijaya (Papua, Indonesia). Such snow is usually called the eternal snow.
Indirect snow falling from clouds in the form of pieces of pieces of ice crystals. But the form of drops of pure water drops that have not been contaminated by other particles (impurities), which spread through the air. Then, under the cloud temperature is lower than 0 degrees Celsius, freezing drops of water drops. Of course, the freezing process is accelerated by the particles of impurities called "nukleator". Without nukleator, drops of water drops are not going to be a piece of snow crystal pieces. If the air temperature is able to keep the ice remains frozen, the pieces of the snowflakes will fall to earth and there was heavy snow. If lower, sometimes pieces of snowflakes can form small balls of ice balls. And there was hail. But if the crystals of snow crystals through a very hot temperature, the crystal and the crystal will melt down to earth in the form of water (rain). Not infrequently, the rain event began with the formation of snow.

Very Unique

The shape and structure of snow crystals are very unique pieces. Not a single snowflake has the same structure. Everything was different. In fact, snow is a natural phenomenon that occurred since the time of formation of the earth. Although different, all have the ability to reflect light in all directions. Therefore, when there is snow and snow-covered surface of the earth, then only white where visible everywhere. As if the earth is white and shiny.

Tornado



A tornado is a funnel-shaped wind vortex that formed in or on the cloud base and extends cumullusnimbus like proboscis to touch the ground. At the end surrounded by dust, water, or debris (depending on where the tornado formed) that come round. Color is affected by the tornado formation. For example, if a tornado is formed in the desert region is a golden brown color and the edges surrounded by dust and sand.
The word tornado taken from the Spanish "tronada" which means lightning storm. Another version says the word tornado comes from the Latin "tronare" which means to turn. There is also a saying that the word tornado comes from a combination of both. Meanwhile, another term for a tornado is "twister".
Very large pressure difference in the areas of local scale occurred under or near the cumullusnimbus cloud causes the formation of a tornado. In the process often begins with the appearance of funnel-shaped cloud vortex (funnel cloud). This causes a funnel cloud is often regarded as a tornado. Funnel cloud is a manifestation of the condensation funnel, without any wind on the surface. While a tornado is a vortex of strong winds. Water vapor that condenses causing a tornado funnel cloud looks like.
Tornadoes frequently reported appear to form a single vortex. Besides being a single vortex, a tornado also appeared with the same two large whirlpool better known as the twin vortex tornado. Sometimes, also comes with a large whirlpool surrounded by 2 (or even more) smaller vortex. Small vortex tornado is called a satellite.
With the wind swirling speed between 40 mph to 110 mph and range up to 250 feet (of about 75 m), is clearly damaging tornadoes. Moreover, a tornado can move up to miles and miles away. Whatever its path would be damaged and destroyed. Several tornadoes have some turbulence speeds up to 300 mph, range up to 4 km, and moved up to 219 miles. Scientists classify tornadoes based on damage caused. There are 3 types of scale used to classify tornadoes. There Fujita Scale (F) and Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF) made by Dr. T. Theodore Fujita. Scale for the weakest tornadoes are F0 and EF0, while for the strongest tornado F5 and EF5. Weakest tornado can damage trees, whereas the strongest can destroy homes and even permanent damage to a skyscraper. Similar scale is the Torro Scale with a longer range. T0 to T11 tornadoes for the weakest and the strongest tornadoes. Torro scale created by the Tornado and Storm Research Organization.
Tornadoes can occur anywhere except in Antarctica. Greatest frequency is in Tornado Alley, United States. While the smallest frequency in the tropics.

Waterspout



Waterspout is a tornado is relatively small. Usually formed in water. Twister speed between 60 to 90 km / h and lasted for 5 to 10 minutes. Though formed in the water, waterspout could move up to the land and destroy everything in its path. Waterspout usually accompanied by a fairly heavy rain. In fact, often accompanied by ice. This phenomenon often occurs in tropical regions.

Valentine's Day

My inside all turn to ash (so slow)
And blew away as I collapse (so cold)
A black wind took them away (from sight)
And held the darkness overday (that night)

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

I used to be my own protection (but not now)
Cause my path had lost direction (some how)
A black wind took you away (from sight)
And held the darkness overday (that night)

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

So now you're gone
And I was wrong
I never knew what it was like
To be alone...

On the Valentine's Day

Opening and Closing Notes


Time passed. No one can stopped it. Nothing seemed, finally arrived at the end of 2009. All of you have experienced in the 2009 has been stored and recorded in memory and notes, along with the memory and notes of the years before. So what was the most memorable thing for you in the 2009 ? Or do you like in general from the year 2008 ? Is there something can be in the year 2009 ?
Calm down for a moment, let yor body and mind relaxed. Do not engaged in activities that are less useful for a while. Because at the end of this year is a good time to reflect, remember, and rethinking everything we have done, naturally, and gain in 2009. We have our own self-correting-each and take advantage of everything that happens. Especially every mistake we make and the failures that we experience. Then, we prepare a plan for 2010 to live with ripefor the past mistake are not repeated in 2010. With this we can look in 2010 with great joy, hope, enthusiasme, and optimism.
Tomorrow should be better than yesterday.

Happy New year 2010

Lightning

Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms.In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s (130,000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse silica sand into glass channels known as fulgurites which are normally hollow and can extend some distance into the ground. There are some 16 million lightning storms in the world every year. Lightning can also occur within the ash clouds from volcanic eruptions, or can be caused by violent forest fires which generate sufficient dust to create a static charge.

How lightning initially forms is still a matter of debate: Scientists have studied root causes ranging from atmospheric perturbations (wind, humidity, friction, and atmospheric pressure) to the impact of solar wind and accumulation of charged solar particles.Ice inside a cloud is thought to be a key element in lightning development, and may cause a forcible separation of positive and negative charges within the cloud, thus assisting in the formation of lightning. The fear of lightning (and thunder) is astraphobia.

Other things about lightning



Artificial Lightning


Thunderstorm



Perhaps that term sounded a little strange in our ears so often happens though. A thunderstorm is a natural phenomenon of continuous lightning strikes, which marked the emergence of cloud cumullusnimbus. A thunderstorm or electrical storms are often accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds. In fact, sometimes accompanied by hail and snow (if it occurs in an area that has four seasons)
All the places on earth has the potential to be the location of a lightning storm. The potential is greatest in tropical regions, especially the tropical rain forest areas. There, thunderstorms can occur nearly every day. An example is the Tororo and Kampala in Uganda, Bogor in Indonesia, and Singapore. While the strongest thunderstorms often occur in the Midwest and South State (United States). In areas that have four seasons, thunderstorms occur in the spring and summer. In cold climates such as polar regions, thunderstorms are rare. That's because the temperature is very cold polar regions. A thunderstorm is relatively unusual, occur in the United States west coast. But it is more common in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys in California which is the interior.

Thunderstorms Strength

If the amount of cloud water content cumulusnimbus known, the total energy of a thunderstorm phenomenon can be calculated. At medium power thunderstorm, the energy released reaches 10,000,000 Kwh or 3.6 x 1013 joules. The amount is equal to the power of 20 kilotons nuclear bombs. While the power of large thunderstorms can reach 10 to 100 x more powerful than the medium thunderstorms.

Dangerous

Thunderstorms save big danger. Each year, many people injured or even killed by lightning sting. However, the danger of thunderstorms was not on the sting. Real danger is that the impact of disaster thunderstorms like a flash flood, hurricane, waterspout, hail storms and snow, thunderstorms and even potentially create a tornado.

Continued Learned

Until now, scientists continue to study the lightning storm. The storm chaser-scalled for scientists studying thunderstorms-go to the Great Plains (United States) and the Canadian prairies in every spring to study the visual aspects of the storms and tornadoes. They use the radio signals emitted by cosmic rays to examine the development of electric charge in thunderstorms.
