Bowling Green

Kentucky Trimodal Transpark construction plans immediately canceled the event of ground subsidence of 200 feet in Bowling Green, Kentucky. In this area is known sinkhole-prone land and every time something like this could happen again. This makes development around the area here is very risky.

Montrose Avenue sinkhole

Land sinkhole 80 feet wide with a depth of 15 feet occurred in the middle of Montrose Avenue. The highway was eventually shut down for two weeks in early January of last year. Fortunately no casualties because of this incident.

Daisetta

Daisetta
In Daisetta, Texas has recently (May 2008), preceded by collapse land 20 feet wide in a residential area, be expanded to 900 feet with a depth of 100 feet in a day and swallow the telephone poles, buildings and vehicles. Local authorities have examined the possibility of leaks in the lines of oil and natural gas there. Sediment and sludge oil generated also endanger lives a few houses nearby.

Merapi Petruk

Photo of Mount Merapi Petruk Cloud Phenomenon New Magic. Strange Clouds Similar incidence figures Puppet Petruk Truly Unique Heat Formed From the Clouds of Mount Merapi (Wedhus Gembel). Does this figure of supernatural guardian of Mount Merapi, a strange phenomenon appeared before the eruption of Mount Merapi on 26 October. Clouds on Mount Merapi forming an image similar to the head Petruk, one of the characters in the puppet world.

Successfully captured the strange event Suswanto (43), village residents Sudimoro, Pucang Anom, Srumbung District, Magelang, Central Java, with his camera. Petruk cloud-like figure was seen on Tuesday, October 26th at approximately 17:00 pm.

Suswanto told, when it's her by chance out of the house and looked in the direction of Mount Merapi. That's when he saw a cloud-like figure Petruk. "Then I grab a camera and photographed. Initially just for fun, but then the picture is staggering, "he said in Magelang, Monday (11/01/2010).

They suspect, Petruk show themselves as a sign there will be a big disaster on Mount Merapi. Mbah Sihur, (54) Gaten village residents, village Ketunggeng, Srumbung, said the emergence of cloud-shaped head Petruk belief as a warning to residents around Merapi to go away.

At the end of the heyday of Majapahit and the inclusion of Demak, UB V choose dwells on Mount Lawu which lies on the border of Central Java and East Java. This is done because he refused to convert to Islam.

So Sabdo Palon also chose to follow the referendum the king, only he did not come to the Mount Merapi volcano Lawu but as a place to stay. As a warning against political opponents who were in power at that time, he took an oath that the future ruler of the country will claim the promise of amanahnya welfare of the people.

planet Earth

This photograph is a photograph of planet Earth taken from outer space first. Many people refer to it as the most influential environmental photograph ever taken. Taken on Christmas Eve 1968, by the crew of Apollo 8, William Anders. This photo reminds many people will ringkihnya human existence and size of the universe than planets.

monster legend

Lochness monster legend in Scotland actually been circulating since the first century, but not before the image above printed and circulated, a false story was spread all over the world. This photo was responsible for dozens of years of speculation, billions of dollars of money from the pockets of tourists coming from all over the world as well as underwater exploration is expensive and exhausting. All because of this false picture. Christian Spurling, Marmaduke Wetherell, and Ian assemble a fake monster of a toy submarine and wood and mengambangkannya above the lake, then stapled to the camera. Recognition of them 60 years later (1994) put an end to speculation about the true story of the Loch Ness monster. This photo may have been the world's first engineering images, but it reiterated the statement "the camera never lies ... is people who lie ..."

sea slugs

It seems that this sea slug creature whose body is half the first half of flora fauna. Because this newly discovered snail can produce pigment chlorophyll like plants. Scientists estimate this cleverly stealing snail genes from the algae they eat so that it can produce chlorophyll. With the stolen genes they can photosynthesize, the process plants to convert sunlight into energy.

"These animals can make molecules contain energy without eating anything," said Sydney Pierce, a biologist from the University of South Florida in Tampa. Pierce has been studying these unique creatures, which have been officially named Elysia chlorotica, for 20 years.

He filed his latest findings on January 7, 2010, at the annual meeting of the Community for Integrative and Comparative Biology in Seattle. This finding was first reported by the journal Science. "This is the first multicellular animals may produce chlorophyll," said Pierce.

These sea slugs live in saltwater marshes in New England, Canada. In addition to stealing the gene to produce the green pigment chlorophyll, these animals also steal small parts of cells called chloroplasts, which are used to perform photosynthesis. Chloroplasts using chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy, like plants, so these animals do not need to eat to get energy.

"We collected a number of these animals and save them in an aquarium for months," Pierce said, "As long as the light was given for 12 hours a day, they can survive (without meals)."

The investigators used radioactive tracers to ensure that these snails actually produce chlorophyll, and not steal from the pigment that has been on the algae. In fact, these snails integrate genetic material with so perfect that it can be passed on to subsequent generations.

Headed frog

African frog gets its name from the side skin structure similar to male hair. Hair is used to increase the rate of the frog to absorb oxygen, because males spent a long time to keep the eggs. Another impressive fact of this frog is that they have claws that can be pulled out which is made of bone (as lawam keratin). However, to remove the claw, the frogs have to break a bone nodule in advance.
