What is the strongest animal on earth?

Animals of all shapes and sizes have different kinds of strengths. Deciding which animals are the strongest really depends on how you define strength. Do you define strength as the sheer power of an animal, how much they can carry pound-for-pound, or the strength of their bite? This list includes land mammals, marine animals, and insects, all of which are ridiculously strong, in one way or another.

Some animals can carry large amounts of weight, up to several times their own body mass, while others have really strong and ferocious bites. Do you think you know what the strongest animal is? You might be shocked to find out that the smallest animals are actually the strongest pound-for-pound.

 Dung Beetle,  The Most Powerfull Animal on Earth

Dung Beetle, Strongest Animal in the World

The British researchers behind the discovery say the beetle evolved its super strength as a mating strategy, using its muscles to settle fierce battles with rivals.

The species  -  Onthophagus taurus  -  originated in the Mediterranean, but has been exported around the world. In Australia, for example, they were introduced to help clear up the alarming number of cow pats being ignored by local beetles.

Dr Rob Knell, one of the researchers from Queen Mary, University of London, said: 'Insects are well known for being able to perform amazing feats of strength, and it's all on account of their curious sex lives.

'Female beetles of this species dig tunnels under a dung pat, where males mate with them. 'If a male enters a tunnel that is already occupied by a rival, they fight by locking horns and try to push each other out.'

Dr Knell tested the strength of the insects by sticking threads to their backs with superglue and placing them in artificial tunnels.

He attached the end of the thread to a pot, hung it off a pulley and slowly dripped water into the pot until the beetle could withstand the weight no longer, he reported in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Dr Knell said he was 'pretty confident' that the dung beetle was the strongest animal in the world, adding: 'If anyone knows of one that is stronger, I'd like to hear from them.

Sage Grouse, Unique and rare bird in the world

The world's rarest birds Sage Grouse (Centrocercus Urophasianus) is a bird that is estimated about 5,000 in the wild.

American region is the natural habitat of these fowl. Sage Grouse birds were found 13 years ago are likely to disappear from the earth's surface if there is no concern of animal conservation experts. During the period (a decade), the animal population has declined.

Quoted from Discovery, John Fitspatrick of Cornell Lab of Ornithology said, "In my viewpoint, Gunnison Sage Grouse a bird species are at risk in all areas of North America,".

This bird has a unique behavior when they wanted to get married. On entering the breeding season, male birds will Sage Grouse pointy tail wags and make some noise as well as air bag inflating yellow on their chest.

Fitzpatrick and his colleagues are now focusing on the survival of these rare birds. Animals that will be designated as a bird species is endangered or Endangered Species Act just stay in eastern Utah and Colorado, USA.

"Gunnison Sage-Grouse are now in danger of collapse of the local population, which if it happens, it produces extinction of the species," said Fitzpatrick. He said all parties ranging from public agencies and private landowners should be able to help stabilize the bird populations through conservation and education community plans.

Quoted from Wikipedia, Sage Grouse Birds are animals that have a permanent local habitat (only in the United States). However, these birds move on a short distance to the lower plains where incoming winter.

These birds forage on the ground to eat insects and some plant species. Sage Grouse can not digest grains as hard as other grouse. These animals nest in the ground, right under a bush or grass.

4 thousand year old artifacts discovered in England

Archaeologists discovered four thousand year old artifacts in Dartmoor National Park, England. Beads shaped object is the oldest historical relics ever found in Britain.

Quoted Softpedia, Tuesday (19/02/2013), this object was found in a coffin were buried, the bead is referred to as one of the most is important findings in the history of this century. Addition to finding the artifacts thousands of year’s old, archaeologists also found the bones, teeth, textile and jewelry in the casket.

From objects are found, the archaeologists are interested and suspect that these beads have been made by men at the time of the Bronze. Apparently, these beads have a gold content and reached England from one place in the Baltic region.

Chief archaeologist Jane Marchand revealed that this finding is an amazing thing. "We do not know that we could end up with something surprising as human remains," said Jane.

He explained that the yellow beads are probably originated from the Baltic region. According to him, this has been through the long-distance trade, four thousand years ago.

"This artifact shows, Dartmoor is not an isolated area," he said. Archaeologists previously assumed that area of Dartmoor, England, is a difficult area.

Researchers, Allowing Pigeon Droppings Into Soap

The pigeon is an animal that many people liked, but when the bird pigeon droppings were everywhere we certainly would feel upset. A research project in London was researching that pigeon droppings can be useful, one of which was used as soap. Pigeons will be given special food, so as to create bacteria that can modify the metabolism of birds.

A 1-minute video be uploaded to the YouTube site, account GeoBeatsNews write a description of a project aimed to create a pigeon droppings to be a soap to clean the city.

"Like other pigeon population can be fun, but they can also pollute," the source said, as reported by anorak. Sources said that an innovative organization based in London to develop a plan to make the city clean without interference from bird droppings.

Birds will be given a special diet or a diet, which involves bacteria Lactobacillus. Researchers who developed the technique believe that the element of synthetic biology, to create bacteria that can alter the metabolism of birds.

Thus, researchers believe that pigeons will produce soap with feces (bowel movements). If the project is successful, then the population of London in particular will not feel worried if the bird droppings stuck to the windshield.

This unique project is also expected to change the public perception of pigeons. You want to watch a video explanation of pigeon droppings to be soap below.

Gen Funny Animal "Panda" Could Actually Be A New Antibiotic Drug

Panda is one animal that looks cute, but this species is endangered. Therefore, animal panda is now a species of animal that must be preserved. In addition to preserving the panda, there's a new reason why the Chinese need to save animals from extinction.

Recently, researchers have found that Panda could be a source of powerful new antibiotics to fight disease. After analyzing the DNA, the researchers found the compound cathelicidin-AM in the bloodstream can result in panda powerful antibiotics to kill bacteria and fungi.

Fortunately, the researchers do not depend on these rare animals to produce antibiotics. They have been able to create artificial synthesis in the laboratory by decoding a gene that produces a small molecule known as peptides.

According to Dr. Xiuwen Yan, lead author of the Life Sciences College, Nanjing Agricultural University, China, said that it showed potential antimicrobial activity against microorganisms in bacteria and fungi, so as to produce antibiotics to fight bacteria and fungi.

"Currently microorganisms continue to rise and there has been no development of antidote drugs, so it needs to develop new types of antimicrobial agents," says Yan Xiuwen, told the Daily Telegraph.

He added that the antimicrobial peptide genes from pandas can make the immune system to attack harmful microorganisms.

Able to kill bacteria

Researchers in China also found that the compound cathelicidin-AM, which is produced by immune cells in animals, can kill bacteria in less than one-jam. Antibiotics drug took more than six hours to kill.

Currently Dr. Xiuwen Yan and some researchers are examining the potential that is still hidden in the panda genome and several other animals.

"More than 1,000 antimicrobial peptides have been found in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Antimicrobial peptides are an important component in creating the immune system to fight harmful microorganisms," said Yan Xiuwen.

This new discovery has resulted in a powerful compound that can be used as a new drug. It can also strengthen efforts to preserve endangered animals panda.

Tardigrade Strongest Animal On Earth

What is the strongest animal on earth?

Tardigrade claimed as the most powerful animals on earth  that can survive in extreme conditions temperature air and strong radiation, these animals also reportedly can live without water. Animal’s tardigrade strength not only on Earth, but also in space.

Reporting from Spacedaily, Monday (12/31/2012), that the animal tardigrade also able to survive in a vacuum or space. These animals are more commonly called "water bears", which has the form of a small (approximately 1.5 mm in body length).

Tardigrade animal found in the past two centuries may open new perspectives in the process of dehydration, which can be used not only for food but also for preserving vaccines and blood.

Johann August Ephraim Goeze, a zoology expert from the German was the first to discover the animal tardigrade. It has been observed tardigrade since 1773.

Tardigrade with its smallest has a size of less than one millimeter. From an evolutionary standpoint, tardigrade can be associated with insects and crustaceans.

Researchers say this is a small animal shaped animal that live in water. They live in aquatic habitats, such as lagoons, or terrestrial habitats such as soil or moss.

More than 1000 varieties tardigrade was found. However, the number of species is still unknown.

Pharaoh Ramses III "killed" by his wife and children

The mystery of the cause of death of the ruler of Egypt who reigned in 1188 until 1155 BC Pharaoh Rameses III is still under investigation by researchers. The mummy of Pharaoh Ramses III allegedly died from wounds in the neck.

Reported by LAtimes, Saturday (12/22/2012), the journal BMJ released a report on Monday, reinforcing the notion that Pentawere mummy, who is the son of Ramesses III is one culprit. The second queen Ramses III, Tiy and her son Prince Pentawere, believed to be conspiring with others to kill the Pharaoh Ramses III and seize the throne.

To unravel the mystery, an international research team re-examining mummies. They found a sharp object managed possibility injure the throat with a width 7 cm, which resulted in Ramses III could be killed instantly.

Other allegations are that strengthens, Ramses III neck is wrapped with linen (the fabric) thick. Additionally, Horus amulet seems inserted in the wound during the mummification process. Amulet is considered to have healing properties.

Ramses III was found with another mysterious mummy, known as E. Chances are, the mummy of Ramses III was young traitor, Pentawere. Analysis of the bones showed he was aged about 18 to 20 years.

Mummified body was wrapped in a dirty ritual goat skin, which can be interpreted as a punishment. In addition, the mummy was also not properly embalmed. It can be seen from the left brain and organs in the body.

Although the evidence is not yet strong enough to explain that the perpetrators of the murder Pentawere is Pharaoh Ramses III. Only, the documents show that Pentawere given a "choice" to kill himself, rather than his body should be burned and the ashes scattered.

Genetic analysis may contradict that Pentawere suicide. However, the team discovered DNA matching some signs and identical. Two pick mummy of Pharaoh Ramses III the relationship between her son and Pentawere.

Be prepared! Twitter Will Make Changes In the Year 2013

One drawback of Twitter is in terms of the number of characters, which are only 140. It is considered to be less than satisfactory for the users of Twitter.

Later in February 2013, Twitter will change by reducing the amount of character tweet. This change only applies to the tweet-tweet containing a link / URL.

Tweet-tweet containing a link / URL "http beginning" will be reduced by as much as two characters, so if the previous 120 characters to 118 characters. As for the tweet containing a secure link "that begins https", will be reduced to 117 characters from the previous 119.

Not explained the reason why the reduction was held on the character tweet. Parties twitter simply stating that they want to extend the number of characters shortening the link to two more characters.
"We will add t.co link shortening the maximum length of 20 characters to 22 characters for the URL non-htpps, and 21 to 23 characters for the URL https," wrote Jason Costa via the website Twitter Dev.

T.co link shortener on Twitter generally amounted to 20 characters, t.co link shortener that is specifically used to shorten the link / whatever links shared on Twitter.

Announcement of change in the reduction of the number of characters is intended for developers, so they can update their application, before Twitter make this change.

How to Protect Your Company's Data Infrastructure

Issues faced by various companies related to infrastructure security, to prevent illegal infiltration over the enterprise network while protecting confidential information to two of the most major issues. As revealed by B2B International in November, based on a survey they had done in July 2012.

Employees of the company are responsible for important business, including matters relating to the security of Information Technology (IT) asked to write down three main tasks an IT personnel.

Most selections among the first tasks an IT personnel are to anticipate cyber criminals entering the corporate network. It was chosen by 31% of respondents. As many as 27% of respondents chose on the protection of information, as cyber criminals will always find a variety of important information, and therefore the company will do all means to protect important data.

Various ways in which companies in order to protect information is to backup data (backup copying), then ensure there is no leakage of data by company employees, preventing cyber attacks and others. Need to note that the third main task is to control the use of mobile devices, where 13% of respondents consider working with the MDM system is one of the main tasks in the field of IT.

This is quite surprising because although the same survey revealed that 55% of companies are very concerned about the security of mobile devices, but this does not necessarily make issues related to mobile devices as a priority for the company, it is seen from the figures above 13% of respondents.

For the company it is very important to implement a policy banning the installation and launch of the device or the use of software owned companies, particularly those with access to information and Services Company. In addition the company also needs to have anti-malware protection of quality, especially Android-based devices.

Smartphone and tablet should be managed remotely, so that access to confidential information could be blocked and the information can be deleted if the device is lost or stolen. Kaspersky Lab is able to provide both of these things, the best protection against malware and blocking capabilities remotely, through its products, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Smartphone. These solutions help companies to locate lost devices using integrated GPS module.

Technology For Human Centric Intelligent Society

Technological innovations developed at this time are very important for people, especially online businesses. But there is a need to realize that the technology should be seen also from the Human Centric Intelligent Society.

Human Centric Intelligent Society is a pattern of life a better future where people will be able to live in peace and security, by implementing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in various aspects of life.

A little look at the past, where in the 1990s, the scope of the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is still limited to the increase in productivity. ICT service model is focused on systems 'Computer Centric' who served through client server-based architecture.

Then in the 21st century, ICT started to play an important role in transforming business processes through the application of ICT is a focus on 'Network Centric'. This is where the PC it's connected through a global network called the Internet.

Then, since the year 2010 expanded the scope of the use of ICT to support human activities, in almost every area of life and to provide the knowledge, so that there was an evolution towards more ICT 'Human Centric'.

So, this is the vision of one of the giant Japanese Information Technology, Fujitsu, while processing an innovation. To realize that dream, they begin to close the gap between the digital / online world, of information and computation, as well as the physical world, the real world where people and objects are.

The physical world is the world we are live in, the world we see, hear and feel around us. Meanwhile, the digital world is a world untouched, but we can explore every day. To bring the two worlds, Fujitsu has now adopted a more humane approach in developing its technological innovation.

So not only from an economic standpoint alone. Innovation should also be more humane to make people's lives better on a daily, "he said.

Too, from the business side also can not be forgotten. This is to ensure the continuity of innovation and Technology Company that initiated it.

'Humane' here would not be considered too complicated. From the simple things too, like, "IT for a better life" could easily be able to be realized.

A simple example is the purchase of a train ticket at the store minimaret, tax payments via online or uploads video important things on YouTube.

Another example is about the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) in the vehicle. Of adoption, we can certainly see some of the most frequently traveled by the car owner. With the GPS we know bias roads are often impassable vehicle. Then after the data collected we can open up business opportunities, for example, by opening a car repair or open sale of fuel for cars.

Human Centric Intelligent Society in this case requires a vertical integration of various technologies, ranging from the latest generation data center, cloud fusion, network, to sensors and devices.

The technology Human Centric Intelligent Society, which uses Information and Communication Technology for the good of mankind and establishes a brighter future.

Asteroid Toutatis will Pursued By Satellite China

China satellite named Chang'e 2 will pursue Asteroid Toutatis, resembling a potato, Asteroid Toutatis will be at the closest point to the earth, which on Wednesday (12/12/2012). Many scientists from various countries just make observations. However, China will catch up with these asteroid satellites.

China's satellite will be at the closest point Toutatis on December 13, 2012, which is within a few hundred kilometers from the Asteroid Toutatis. Because these satellites nearby dining China Asteroid Toutatis has a chance to shoot better, shooting Asteroid Toutatis actually started by the Goldstone radio telescope. The image resolution has, at 7.5 meters / pixel, later with the proximity is expected to capture images with a resolution of 3.75 meters / pixel.

Forms Potatoes

Asteroid Toutatis is unique because it looks like a potato. According Ma'rufin Sudibyo amateur astronomer, asteroid was first imaged by the Goldstone radio telescope in 1992 made the scientists shocked. Asteroid Toutatis was like two large stone bonded with imperfect.

"The form is certainly very surprising, given the previous imagination, asteroid Toutatis and also in general, considered to be shaped like a ball with a face full of pockmarks," he explained.

Observations are being conducted by the scientists, it Toutatis not just one. There are other asteroids with similar form, for example and Itokawa asteroid Cleopatra and core Borrely and Hartley 2 comet.

Ma'rufin said that Toutatis has a shape like a potato for allegedly derived from the combined two asteroids. Two asteroids have orbits distinct, but intersecting. Approximately 100 million years ago, the two met and formed Toutatis.

The merger itself can occur because both the velocity is relatively small. If both are moving at high speed, it is not a merger happens, but destruction. True or not the theory can be tested by observations of asteroids the next two days.

Asteroid Toutatis approaches Earth once every 4 years. At the closest point later, this asteroid will be within 6.95 million km from Earth.

Technology slowing human activity

The technology was created to smooth human activity. Anyone would agree to this statement. Humans would be even easier to do activities with the technology. For example, internet buying and selling services online, so customers no longer need to go to the sale or open a shop in the market.

But not always the technology to facilitate the activities that humans do. Even technology can sometimes gain time and makes him so slow to mobilize.

This morning, a rowdy atmosphere in the class room, for a long time Lecturer fix the LCD monitor to be connected to the laptop. If counted nearly 15 minutes of time wasted.

How about something like this??? Technology may be making the time to be inefficient. There are unexpected things happen when it comes to using technology. It is better to teach without using a laptop instead of having to wait 15 minutes to get it started. First time Lecturer in teaching to explain verbally. Thus, in giving instruction run smoothly no barriers. So how to address this, it is certainly not too rely entirely on technology.

Any sophisticated technology without electricity will be useless. We must be able to live without technology. With technology getting easier to live on one side, but on the other side of life became more difficult.

Teenagers are always sad and depressed if the day be without a phone in his hand. In fact, because there is no mobile phone is the latest, so do not want to go to school. If this means the technology could reverse human civilization.

Come Cheer youth. Prove that you can not live without technology. Grandparents ancestors hundreds of years ago could live a healthy life without technology.
