Is There Two Painting Mona Lisa?
A younger version of the famous Mona Lisa painting will be exhibited in Geneva, Switzerland. This painting was sparked controversy because some claim that this is the original version of the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci that.Mona Lisa Foundation, based in Switzerland that will be an exhibition, said detailed research over the past three decades provides strong evidence that this version is the initial painting of women face the most famous in the world."We've investigated this painting from different angles relevant., We also collect all the information. Overall reinforces our suspicion that this is an early version Gicondia in the Louvre," said foundation member and historian Stanley Feldman.Giaconda is the Italian name for the Mona Lisa, known the world today. Meanwhile, the French used to call the painting La Joconde.At the beginning of the 16th century, an Italian nobleman Francesco del Giacondo asking Da Vinci to paint his wife, Lisa Gherardini. However, after completing the task, Da Vinci never gave the painting to pemesannya.YoungerPaintings on display to the media and experts in Geneva it is the figure of a woman who allegedly was in her early 20's.Women pose in this painting, even has the same eyes masterpiece that is now in the Louvre, which is believed to show the woman in her 30s.Stanley Feldman and his brother, David, who had long been in the art world, says historical evidence, critical comparisons, and scientific tests using the most modern techniques to support his ideas about painting the Mona Lisa was younger.Young Mona Lisa theory is supported two others, the expert works of Da Vinci and Alessandro Vezzosi U.S. origin expert Carlo Pedretti.However, experts were skeptical Da Vinci Mona Lisa with the advent of the theory of the young.In a 300-page book, published Foundation Mona Lisa, Da Vinci Museum director Alessandro Vezzosi ask the critics of this theory to think more openly."This book will reveal a bias that does not claim the painting is an early version and unfinished from the Mona Lisa young, much younger than those in the Louvre," Vezzosi wrote in the book.However, Britain's Oxford University Professor Martin Kemp, who is also world-renowned expert on Da Vinci, said, painting Geneva was probably the result of plagiarism Mona Lisa in the Louvre painting by a famous painter who chose not to paint the Mona Lisa with a younger age."The theory was wrong," said Kemp, saying a number of facts."Painting in Geneva made on canvas instead of wood like the ability Da Vinci," said Kemp.
Tips for Choosing Safe Toys
The number of toys on the market price and various forms should be of concern to parents. Because,
until now there are still many bergaman toys that contain hazardous
chemicals such as heavy metals such as Mercury, Lead, Cadmium and
Chromium.
This is further exacerbated by the free market, especially Chinese products coming into Indonesia with cheap and competitive prices. Many illegal entry of Chinese products that a number of parents raised concerns about the security products they buy toys for their children's health.
To anticipate this, Noor Jehan, the research staff of the Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI) shares some tips for parents to choose toys that are safe for their children:
* Read labels carefully: Most parents buy toys do not read labels. Based on the findings YLKI, many toys that do not have labels Indonesian language. In fact, the trade rules explained that any product label must include the Indonesian language, which contains about how to use it and for what age.
* Prices are expensive not necessarily safe: During this time, many parents assume that price determines quality. This is true, but not always the expensive price of safe toys. "From the findings we get, there are toys that cost Rp 30 thousand to Rp 300 thousand. Turns out that expensive, there are still chemicals and harmful metals," said Noor.
* Buy age-appropriate toys: For example, for children 3 years old toys you should not buy a size too small. Because of that fear, your child will be put toys into their mouths. "So, if the hazardous substances that enter the body and accumulate would endanger the child's health," he added.
* Check the physical toys: Some kids educational toys are generally made from wood such as the abacus. So it is important to look at and check the condition of the surface of the toy, whether or not the child is safe. Because wooden toy pieces that are not smooth misallnya get into the hands of children or even take inedible.

Snoring Causes Obesity?
you are on a strict diet, exercise, but the weight never went down and still overweight. Consider your sleep patterns, you may suffer from sleep apnea.
Dr Andreas Prasadja, RPSGT, sleep physician from the Sleep Disorder Clinic RS Mitra Kemayoran explains sleep apnea is a sleep disorder such as snoring. Sleep apnea can lead to obesity due to poor sleep quality that disrupt the body's metabolism.
"So despite diet, exercise, but the weight does not go down well, it could be the cause of sleep disorders. Sleep apnea is the most common but tend to be ignored," he said at a talk on the topic Sleepiness a Kill, through the launch of new premium mattress in Jakarta, Tuesday (08/05/2012).
Research in the United States in 2002 showed that one in five Americans sleep apnea patients, with 80 percent go undiagnosed because snoring is considered as normal.
In fact, snoring is often considered a characteristic sound sleep. Misperceptions about the snoring is making many people feel no need to consult the disturbing habits.
Dr Andreas explains, people with sleep apnea stop breathing while sleeping 97.85 seconds, typically he snored. People who snore while sleeping have a condition such as choking, he actually woke up but did not awake. This is what causes the sleep was interrupted, and sleep quality were worse.
"In these conditions, oxygen also decreased from 90 percent to 15 percent, heart rate soaring heart action becomes more severe," he explained.
According to Dr. Andrew, sleep apnea is characterized by snoring does not cause infected died in his sleep. But this sleep disorder raises the risk of diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disorders to strokes.
"In other countries, the treatment of sleep apnea using a sleep laboratory, in the examination of cardiac patients," said Dr. Andrew adds, sleep disorders such as snoring (sleep apnea) were not addressed properly can also cause impotence.

Overcoming snoring Sundries
snoring sound is annoying, but habitual snoring a danger that can not be underestimated. Melemasnya snoring caused by upper respiratory tract during sleep, to narrows. This narrowing increases the pressure in the respiratory area. As a result, the soft area will vibrate cause snoring.
Once upon a time, this narrowing causes obstruction in the airway, making breathing movements while still there, no air can pass. This stop breathing during sleep, also called sleep apnea. As a result of tightness, a safety mechanism the body will wake up to the patient awake brain for a moment to breathe in the air (without waking). But this has cut the sleep process. Imagine if it happens repeatedly throughout the night. As a result, the patient will not wake up refreshed and continue to feel sleepy during the day even though the duration of sleep is enough. This condition is known as hypersomnia.
InspectionTreatment of sleep apnea in the Sleep Disorder Clinic, beginning with a consultation to find out the possibilities of other sleep disorders. Examination in sleep medicine, a little different from medical science in general. Examined here is the body functions during sleep.
Patients will be required to stay overnight in a sleep laboratory to record brain function, breathing, heart and other body functions. The tools used in sleep labs called polysomnography (PSG). PSG itself of many kinds, but I will review at a later occasion. Although sounds scary, do not imagine the sleep laboratory as a hospital room with a variety of monitors and complicated equipment.
Laboratory sleep could be made as comfortable as possible. Hardly seemed any medical equipment except a small box spring bed beside the patient. That unit patients who will be associated with smaller sensors to the patient. There are several ways of handling treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. To determine the best treatment needed a proper diagnosis. This examination of the role of sleep.
Treatment of snoring and sleep apnea begins from the simplest form of side sleeping position, elevating cushion, reducing weight and avoiding alcohol or drug maker drowsiness. Mild sleep apnea (stopping breathing less than 15 times per hour) do not require special care, but can try dental appliances made especially by dentists trained experts.
Conditions stopping breathing less than 30 times per hour, including the category, it is advisable to use a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) or technology now developed a simple form of EPAP (expiratory Positive Airway Pressure). EPAP disposable form of plaster that can be attached to cover the nostrils.
From some initial research, EPAP can provide decent results, a decrease in the index stop breathing about 50 percent. Hopefully in the next few months is already available in Indonesia. Surgery on the upper respiratory tract can also be done. The recommended form of surgery UPPP (uvulo palato pharingeoplasty). This is an action to widen the airway by cutting area of the palate. Surgery is usually only recommended after other treatments have been tried and did not succeed.
CPAPMeanwhile, the gold standard treatment of sleep apnea, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine is to use CPAP. CPAP devices such as electric-powered unit that is connected via a hose and mask. The principle of this instrument is the blowing pressure to prop up the airway to keep it open.
This tool is very popular among people with sleep apnea due to ease of use and outstanding effect. After using the CPAP sleep apnea patients as reborn and can do a lot of things he did that were previously difficult due to sleepiness. Driving distance, conducting meetings, reading books, watching movies and more, without fear of falling asleep.
The original emotional life happier now. That was lazy, can now be diligent exercise. Its easy to fall asleep in class, to rediscover the spirit of learning. The study also proved that many of the health benefits of the new tool was discovered in 1981 by Prof. Colin Sullivan of Sydney University.
The use of CPAP to overcome sleep apnea proved to facilitate control of blood sugar, and lower risk of heart and blood vessel disease by 37 percent and the risk of stroke by 56%. CPAP alone there are several types. Fixed pressure that gives the same pressure all night, automatic pressure that can adjust the pressure to the needs and bi-level pressure that blows the two pressures. The selection of course based on the results of the examination CPAP sleep. Challenge the use of CPAP itself is the first impression that already "scary."
CPAP is actually very common in other countries, as bedding course. Do not imagine that healthy people use, will not be able to sleep. But for people with sleep apnea, CPAP usage is very comfortable and pleasant. CPAP Provision should also be given by experts. There are certain criteria that must be regularly adjusted to the condition of the patient. Sleep disorders clinic has its own protocol for CPAP delivery program. Usually the patient and family are given education on how to use and care of tools. Then, after some time of use is evaluated through memory contained on the CPAP device was.
Overcome snoring is not as easy as imagined so far. Treatment on sleep disorder clinic always aim to overcome breathing disorders during sleep, for the health and quality of life. While the loss of snoring is just a bonus of the treatment results. Greetings healthy sleep!

The eclipse, the Moon Mars "Biting" Sun
Robot Curiosity owned agency NASA Space flight and re-send the photos interesting. This time, the six-wheeled robot is to send photos when Phobos, moon of Mars, the Sun bite.
The photos were taken during the solar eclipse on 13 September 2012 last. Unlike a solar eclipse known to man, the eclipse is not caused by the Moon, but by Phobos, one of the moons of Mars.
Curiosity took the images with the camera in the right arm and left hand. A total of 100 images taken eclipse but not all of them sent to the person in charge of the mission on Earth.
In one photo, Phobos appears "bite" Sun. "Phobos grazed the Sun. This is a partial solar eclipse in fact," said Mark Lemmon, an astronomer at Texas AM & M University, as quoted by AP, Wednesday (09/19/2012).
The solar eclipse on Mars is actually a common phenomenon, even more often than Earth. This is because Mars have more moons around. However, it remains interesting shots Curiosity.
In addition to the matter of photographs, Curiosity also makes astronomers back to thinking about the structure of the planet Mars. As happened on Earth, the moons of Mars can also influence the shape of the planet slightly.
Phobos known to move more slowly. While Deimos, the moons of Mars, moving faster. In the 10-15 million years, Phobos will move closer to Mars and eventually thrown off by the gravitational effects of Mars.
Eclipse of the Sun by Phobos orbit and help astronomers predict velocity changes. This information is needed to make educated guesses how big Mars will change when approaching month.
Curiosity has actually examined the rocks Mars mission and determine the possibility of Mars to support life. Robot reaches the red planet August 5, 2012 and that today (21/09/2012) initiated a Mars rock.

Ants 'Naughty' Cause Identified short circuit
Biologists
have finally managed to describe the crazy rasberry ants, ant type of
"rogue" who likes to live around power lines and potentially cause a
short circuit.
Rasberry ants were first discovered in Houston. Now, these ants are also found in the 21 regions the State of Texas as well as some areas of Mississippi and Louisiana. This animal is about 4-5 mm and has a reddish color.
Previously, biologists just managed to describe to the level of genus, the genus Nylanderia. Therefore, these ants only be named by its inventor, Tom Rasberry.
Is John LaPolla, taxonomists from Towson University in Maryland, who later studied ant species and identified. LaPolla Research published in the journal PLoS ONE on Wednesday (09/19/2012). The species was named Nylanderia fulva.
Identify successful after comparing N. fulva with other species in the same genus. LaPolla said the identification process is complex as N. fulva is very similar to the species N. Pudens. He later learned that there are differences in both males genitals.
"Some of the jokes circulating among insect taxonomist is that we spend a lot of time for this species mepelajari. And the answer is because sometimes there are characteristics that help differentiate these species," said LaPolla.
Giving a name is very important. Naming helps biologists determine the natural enemies that could control ants. Rasberry ants could potentially interfere shorted. In 2008, the Johnson Space Center in Houston to call an expert to help prevent the ants are moving toward computer equipment. Naming also help scientists understand the function of species within a habitat.

A new strain of influenza vitus found in fruit bats. These findings indicate that bats, like birds, can be carriers of the flu virus.
"This is the first time the flu virus identified in bats, but in its present form, the virus is not harmful to humans," said Chen Zhou Tong, the inventor of the virus.
Influenza A virus was detected in 3 samples of 316 yellow bats have shoulders that inhabit two different locations Guatemalan territory. Bats sample does not bite humans, only eat fruit.
Tong, who is also head of the pathogen discovery program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta said that the study is important because it gives clues that animals can be a source of virus.
Previous flu virus that caused a pandemic, such as H1N1, known to originate from animals. The virus then mutated so that it can infect humans.
"Fortunately, the newly discovered virus needs to make significant changes to infect humans and spread easily," said Ruben Donis, chief of Molecular Virology and Vaccine Branch, Influenza Division at the CDC, told AFP on Tuesday (28/02/2012).
However, this new virus is expected to infect other animals such as horses, pigs and dogs. The findings were published in the journal virus the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

Largest Puzzle Solved in Mathematics
Puzzle greatest in mathematics, called the ABC conjecture, solved. Shinichi Mochizuki, Kyoto University mathematician, enter 4 scientific papers describing the conjecture that online.
Proof ABC conjecture Mochizuki described in 500 pages. Data PDF format can be viewed on the website belongs to Mochizuki as Teichmüller Theory. The Guardian, Wednesday (19/09/2012), stating, Mochizuki took about 4 years to solve the theory.
Among mathematicians are now analyzing Mochizuki description to be confirmed. If proven true, then the work Mochizuki will be the greatest achievement in mathematics in this century. True or description Mochizuki would not be known in quick time.
ABC conjecture, first proposed by British mathematician, David Masser with the French mathematician Josep Oesterle in 1935. It is yet to be proved in a mathematical truth.
ABC conjecture related to the equation a + b = c. Conjecture relating the numbers for a, b and c that does not have the same divisor other than 1. Conjecture is also related to prime numbers, prime numbers more than 1 that has no divisors other than 1 and the number itself.
Simply put, if there is a prime number that is divided by a or b several times the amount must be equal to the number of prime numbers divided by c only a few times. An example is the addition operation 81 = 64 = 145.
Numbers 3 divides 81 four times. While the two share 64 6 times. However, 145 is equal to 5 x 29. So it will be found that the largest prime number, 5 and 29, divided only by 1 145 times to get a number that can not be divided again by the number itself
New York Times on Tuesday (09/17/2012) announces that Tune Mochizuki description is not only a brilliant description of itself, but also the "language" of mathematics is used. Spoken language is completely new.
"He wears a language completely new, you could say, a new universe of mathematical objects, for something unusual mndeskripsikan the universe," said Minhyong Kim, mathematicians from the University of Oxford.
Mochizuki did not describe himself as a mathematician, but the inter-universal geometer. Is it? many mathematicians is not yet well understood. However, Michizuki believed to be a qualified person in mathematics.

Traditional Medicine Is Not Safe
The
high cost of modern medicine and the belief that herbal medicines are
safer because they are made from natural ingredients, a person driving
interest in traditional medicine. In fact, it is not always true.
Though made from natural ingredients, herbal medicine actually has potential side effects with synthetic drugs. According Prof.Maksum Radji, in the herbal medicine derived from plant parts such as roots, leaves, bark, also contained chemical compounds.
The content of compounds contained in herbal medicines, besides efficacious also likely to cause side effects that may be detrimental.
Herbs also can not be taken arbitrary because individual responses can be different from each other. Although a common complaint, not necessarily a given herbal match between one patient and another patient.
An herbal product is considered safe only when it is scientifically proven safety through a series of security tests, including tests of acute toxicity, sub-acute toxicity tests, chronic toxicity tests, and test teratogenic.
He added that some undesirable effects can also occur when the herbs are consumed together with modern medicine.
"Most of the side effects that can be caused by the use of herbal medicines that are not well controlled include kidney disorders, liver disorders, photosensitivity, allergy, and sleep disorders. Giving herbal medicines are also avoided in infants, toddlers and the elderly organ function has decreased, "he said.
Some of the herbal remedies that had "booming" some time ago, like red fruit, crown of the gods, or soursop leaves, according Maksum, has actually been studied but only reached the stage of biomedical research.
In Phaleria (Phaleria macrocarpa), have been studied the scientific content is efficacious as anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and its effect on cancer cells. While the soursop leaves are known to have the effect of antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer drugs.
However, most studies are conducted on experiments in vitro or in vivo in animals. The results of a biomedical experiment is often used as the basis of that herbs can cure various diseases.
"Though to be used in medicine, still required a series of phases of clinical trials to ensure a level of safety, dosage, method of use, efficacy, monitor side effects and interactions with other drug compounds," he said.
According Maksum, herbal medicines are usually just results in the long term, therefore the drug should only be used to maintain the health or recovery of the disease, while the needed cure for prescription drugs.
Though made from natural ingredients, herbal medicine actually has potential side effects with synthetic drugs. According Prof.Maksum Radji, in the herbal medicine derived from plant parts such as roots, leaves, bark, also contained chemical compounds.
The content of compounds contained in herbal medicines, besides efficacious also likely to cause side effects that may be detrimental.
Herbs also can not be taken arbitrary because individual responses can be different from each other. Although a common complaint, not necessarily a given herbal match between one patient and another patient.

Balancing Diet Acid Tongue
with food combining diet was created by Dr. William Howard Hay, founder of The East Aurora Sun and Diet Sanatorium, New York. In food combining, food combinations are also selected based on the needs of the digestive enzom working in acid-base conditions.
Because there are enzymes that work effectively under alkaline conditions, there are effective in acidic conditions. On the other hand, there is an effective food digested under alkaline conditions and there is no effective digested in acid conditions.
In addition to acid-base grouping, also dibangi food into five groups based on its content, namely starch (bread, rice, pasta), protein, vegetables, neutral group, and fruits.
The five groups of foods can be eaten together in the pattern of food combining, except starch and animal protein consumed together is not recommended. Because for the enzymes needed to digest starch dish that effectively work under alkaline conditions, whereas animal proteins in acidic conditions.
Although the dish starch and animal protein requires different enzymes, both are acid-forming. Karene, the food must be combined with the dish-forming bases, namely fresh vegetables.
Consumption of fresh vegetables is recommended three servings of starch dish or three times the animal dishes. The goal is that the body's acid-base balance is achieved optimal, so that the health and immune system was intact.
In addition to animal protein, acid-forming foods are fats and oils. While products are alkaline-forming fruits, vegetables, boiled potato with skin, raw milk, soy, bean sprouts, and nuts.
Here's a combination of appropriate diet food combining:
* Starch and fat: The bread is coated with a little butter right mix.
* Protein and fat: Chicken, beef, or fish roasted, baked, or steamed.
* Fat and sour: For example, opportunistic chicken could end with drinks lemon juice. This can dilute fat so easily digested.
* Sugar and acid: for example, a combination of plain yogurt mixed with pure honey or real fruit. This combination will aid digestion.
* Starch and starch: In food combining, eating rice and noodles including harmonious blend, but still advised not to eat it in large quantities. Because the body's ability to store starch is limited. If most, your body will store it as fat.
Diet with food combining, food eaten principle is aligned with the human body's natural mechanisms. It aims to ease the work of digestion, as well as energy efficiency.
