Science museum showcase artwork and photos

British photographer, Martin Parr met visitors to the museum, explaining the works of legendary photographer Tony Ray-Jones.

Science Museum in London has launched a photography exhibition to showcase the art and important collection that had been forgotten.

Worth £ 4.5 million project is a collaboration between the Science Museum and the National Media Museum in Bradford, England.

"We have done an amazing job is to do the archiving of our collection. But we now should be ashamed for allowing this collection are stored and as if abandoned," said Director of the Science Museum, Ian Blatchford.

By using the title The Media Space, a collection of important works of art and Photography will be on display starting Saturday, September 21, 2013.

Blatchford said, there is a real correlation between art and science, which he later emphasized in his speech at the opening of the exhibition-the-by menutip statement renowned fashion designer and businessman England, Vivienne Westwood.

Art and science

"When people say there are similarities between scientists and artists, she (Vivienne Westwood) said 'there are basically two kinds of people in the world, which is a great artist and a great scientist, who both have a great imagination."

"We have done an amazing job is to do the archiving of our collection. But we now should be ashamed for allowing this collection are stored and as if abandoned."

"Those who can see the world differently. ' Statement is the reason why we exhibit valuable artwork special here, "said Blatchford."

The launch of an exhibition entitled The Media Space featuring two distinct collections: first, featuring the work of legendary British photographer, Tony Ray-Jones and Martin Parr.

Second, this exhibition displays digital installation art with the latest techniques involving visitors to the exhibition.

Visitors to the exhibition can enjoy the works of renowned British photographer, Tony Ray-Jones, who perpetuate the unique life of a British citizen, before his death at age 30 in 1972.

Early works of photographer Martin Parr-Magnum-photographer in the 70s were also displayed. Parr himself admitted he was inspired by the works of Ray-Jones.

Rats 'will not be afraid anymore' in cats

Rats were exposed to the parasite Toxoplasma gondii is no longer afraid of cats.

Mice likely permanently will not be afraid of cats after exposure to the parasite mikroskopiks, according to the researchers.

Single-celled parasite Toxoplasma gondii has led to reduction in the fear of rats in cats.

The research team-which writes the results of the study in the journal Plos One-say parasitic infections can cause permanent changes in the rat brain.

Wendy Ingram and his team at the University of California, Berkeley, examines the reaction rat on cat urine.

Cats usually marking territory with urine and it helps Click themouse to avoid places that rodent predators.

Mice that were not exposed to Toxoplasma gondii shows this shy animal urine, but the rats exposed to keep it running freely.

Number of mice that were no longer infected with the parasite was also not afraid to clickthe cat .

"One remarkable thing. Having no longer infected with the parasite, the animal attitude completely changed," said Ingrham.

Contagious to humans

"One remarkable thing. Having no longer infected with the parasite, the animal attitude completely changed."

Wendy Ingram

"By experiencing parasite transmission alone can cause permanent changes. Influence will be huge in the treatment of infectious diseases," he added.

In mice, the infection usually occurs due to eating cat litter.

This parasite will enter the organs of mice, targeting the brain, forming cysts.

The infection can also be contagious to humans. In the UK, they are exposed to the parasite Toxoplasma approximately 350,000 people each year.

This parasite can cause pregnancy complications and adverse effects for those with a weak immune system.

Toxoplasma also associated with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.

Joanne Webster from Imperial College London, said the results of the research could have important implications for humans, especially patients with schizophrenia.

Found the house time of Jesus

Ruins pools for ritual cleansing in the house building.

The archaeologists found the remains of old houses roughly 2,000 years in the mountains of Zion, Jerusalem, which is expected to explain the lives of rich people in the time of Jesus Christ.

The findings of artifacts and other clues indicate that the house belongs to a rich Jewish family during the early period of the occupation of the Roman Empire, the researchers said.

As reported by LiveScience website, in the ruins of buildings located near the site of the famous kingdom of Herod, a team of archaeologists discovered the shower room and sea snail shells are used to make a liquid dye.

"If the ruins of this house was the residence of the wealthy Jews of the first century, not only can explain how the lives of the rich at the time, but also can explain the figure of Jesus himself," said James Tabor, head of the excavation team, said in a statement.

According to Tabor, who is an expert on early Christian history, "he criticized the lifestyle of the elite class. He talked about clothes, jewelry and their long robes, and made fun of him. So, we get additional information, so as to better understand what the life of the rich at that time. "

James Tabor added, the archaeological findings can enrich the knowledge about the life of an elite class of Jerusalem, who had only obtained from the Bible and the texts written by Jewish religious leaders.

Not far from the archaeological site of the bathroom, a team of researchers had previously found the ruins of an allegedly once used for ritual cleansing.

Belongs to the Jewish priests

Ruins of 2,000-year old as it is believed to explain the elite of Jesus' day.

Experts say, the discovery of the remains of the building and the pool bathroom, it was possible to prove that the building belonged to the wealthy elite and the Jewish priests.

"I do not hesitate to say that the people who made the bathroom, it may be the same person who made the pond," said archaeologist Shimon Gibson.

Another important finding is a sea snail shells are used to make a liquid dye. This is a known source of purple dye was very valuable and expensive time.

The researchers speculate that the Jewish priests when it likely involved in the marine industry suppliers snail shells to dye clothes of the rich in Jerusalem, in the era.

Archaeologists expect, this research will be continued in 2014 and 2015. After the study ended, the public can see first hand the historic site's estimated 2,000 years old.

Toddler to be mummified in the mother's room

Amanda Hutton denies all allegations that she abused her daughter to starve to death.


A toddler, who died after two years of famine, were found to be mummified on cots in the room his mother in England.

Four-year-old toddler named Hamza Khan still wrapped in baby clothes when police found "shocking incident" at his home in Bradford in September 2011.

Toddlers mother, Amanda Hutton, 43, who denies torturing her son, Bradford Crown Court trial in.

Open the case in court, the prosecutor, Paul Greaney QC told the jury that Hamza died in 2009 when she was four and a half years.

He said the boy's body had been found 21 months later, wrapped with clothes aimed at babies aged six to nine months.

The clothes still fit on Hamzah as its growth has been stunted, said Greaney.

"Growth is stunted because she was suffering from malnutrition in the long period and the conditions that make it dead. Briefly, he starved to death."

"How can a child could die of hunger in the 21st century in the UK?"

Hutton failed to provide nutritious food for her son and because of that failure, Hutton killed his son, said Greaney.

Greaney also said a consultant child specialist visit after the discovery of the corpse and find things more surprising.

He said: "Consultants find so much garbage, rotting foods, feces, and empty bottles."

Hutton then known to be alcoholics and consume cannabis. Meanwhile, Hamza's father had split up with them and live in other areas.

Call pizza

This 4.5-year-old boy was found dead in her cot in the room.

In an interview with police, Hutton said Hamzah began unwell on December 14, 2009.

He said one day, she went to the supermarket to consult with a pharmacist but suddenly got a call from her home.

"He explained that he returned home and found Hamzah was dying. He tried to wake her but to no avail," said Greaney.

"After that he put it in the crib, making the impression that he has treated his body with dignity."

"The body of the boy was found with a teddy bear,"

However, the jury was also told that Hutton apparently ordering pizza a few hours after his son's death and continue to take the child care assistance from the government.

"He did not call anyone to ask for help, doctor or ambulance. What is he doing? Several hours later, he ordered a pizza."

Judges will give consideration as to whether this behavior reflects how he is raising children.

Dancing improve language skills

Skills training can move to the beat of auditory and language systems.

Moves with the rhythm of music is considered to have close links with better language skills, a study suggests.

The researchers say people who move better on tests of rhythmic neural responses also indicate that increased when the speech sound is played.

In addition, the study also showed that musical training can improve other skills, especially speech.

In the Journal of Neuroscience, the authors argue that the rhythm is an integral part of the language.

"We know that moving to the rhythm of the stable is a basic skill not only for Clickdancing but also related to the ability to speak, "said Professor Nina Kraus of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University, Illinois, USA.

In this study, more than 100 teenagers were asked to press their fingers to the beat of music. Their accuracy is measured by how closely they match the response time of a metronome.

Furthermore, to understand the biological basis of rhythmic skills, team participants also measured their brain waves with electrodes. A technique called electroencephalography aims to observe the electrical activity in the brain in response to sound.

Interrelated

Research shows teens are hard to read also difficulty performing motor tasks and the rhythm.

By using this biological approach, the researchers found that those who had a better musical training also had a higher neural responses to speech sounds. On those little musical training this response is reduced.

"Research shows that teens who turned out to be difficult to read also difficulty performing motor tasks and the rhythm. In speech and music, rhythm provides a map to the location most likely has a meaning," says Professor Kraus told BBC News.

Recorded the brain waves is perfect with sound waves, he said. "You can even take a brain wave recording and play it back through the speakers and it will sound like the sound produced sound waves.

"It appears that musical training with an emphasis on rhythmic skills - able to train the auditory system, which caused a shock in the reduced and amplify sound associations, which are crucial for learning to read," Kraus added.

John Iversen of the University of California at San Diego study how the brain processes music. He was not directly involved with the study but agreed that musical training can have a significant impact on the brain.

"This study adds to information that explains that the ability of music-rhythm can be correlated with improved performance in the areas that are not music, especially the language," he said.

Japan launches rocket with telescope

Epsilon rocket made with half the cost of the previous generation.

Japan successfully launched its first rocket in 12 years that transports space telescope to observe the various planets.

Epsilon rocket is half the size of the previous generation space rocket.

The rocket uses a special tool to check for safety.

Japan's space agency, Jaxa, said Epsilon was made at a cost of U.S. $ 37 million, half of the cost of the previous generation rocket.

Epsilon was launched from southwestern Japan on Saturday afternoon (14/09) local time.

Residents gathered to watch the launch, which was broadcast directly through the internet.

The rocket is carrying a telescope called Jaxa the first space telescope in the world that will be able to observe planets including Venus, Mars and Jupiter from Earth orbit.

Eight people at the launch

Jaxa said the rocket was able to record the telescope Sprint-A, about 1,000 km above the Earth's surface as scheduled.

Previous rockets, M-5, is not used again in 2006 due to increased production costs.

Jaxa says Epsilon is not only cheaper but also in development for launch costs.

With the use of a check made, this new rocket requires only eight people at launch, compared with 150 people at the launch of M-5.

The new findings including sending Japanese space robots that can talk to the international space station.

Japan expects to reach the market in the satellite industry, which is dominated by European entities, Ariannespace.

This is the Human Face Shape 100.000 Year Again

100,000 years of human faces

How to shape a human face 100,000 years? According to scientists, people predicted would have a flat face, large eyes, and forehead. What is the reason behind the scientists had forecast such?

Face of man itself always evolve in the era since the stone age. Quoted from the Daily Mail, scientists have predicted the human form began to 20,000, 60,000, and 100,000 years into the future.

Nickolay Lamn of MyVoucherCodes.co.uk said if science and technology affect the human brain. The human brain, he said, continues to grow. This also happens on their skulls.

60,000 years of human faces

Dr. Alan Kwan PhD from Washington University believes if humans evolved according their nature and biological adaptation. Human forehead will continue to grow because the brain grows larger.

As for the face, is determined by man's own taste. Still according to him, people will have more pronounced superciliary arches.

20,000 years of human faces

This arch, explains Dr. Alan Kwan, accompanied by a thicker eyelids and superciliary arch in the skull under the brow. The arches have utility to handle the effects of gravity low.

Besides the human face is also expected to have a straight nose, large eyes, perfectly symmetrical face, nostrils bigger, and thicker hair. Problem will be more pigmented skin to reduce the effects of UV radiation .

Revealed, Mystery Ice Melting in Antarctica

Polar bear on the melting iceberg.

 In the Antarctic ice sheet continues to thin out and hit a record low last year. During this time, climate change blamed as a cause of sea ice melt Antatika.

But now a team of researchers succeeded in finding answers to global warming.

During this time, a growing opinion is part of the surface of the ice in Antarctica has melted. However, the researchers believe, is not the melting ice on the surface, but the bottom layer, which will re-freeze.

The team of researchers from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute said, Antarctica is a continent surrounded by open water, which is possible in the sea ice continues to exist during the winter.

The study was published in the journal Nature Geoscience stated, the sea ice in Antarctica will continue to rise despite global warming.

"That's because the ice just melted on the bottom layer. While the top layer will continue to grow, especially in the winter," said Richard Bintanja, researchers from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, told the BBC, 2 April 2013.

The researchers also predict recurring phenomenon is likely to continue.

Meanwhile, according to Paul Holland, researchers from the British Antarctic Survey, said of the findings in the last year. Winds will keep the ice away from the coast, making the ice is in the open ocean.

"The condition of the cold sea water allows ice will return to form. Especially in the winter," said Holland.

Widespread Antarctic sea ice due to climate change

 

Climate change is causing the expansion of Antarctic sea ice, according to scientific research in the journal Nature Geoscience.

This natural phenomenon is expected due to the melting of the ice beneath Antarctica.

Melting of water in low density that accumulate in the top layer of the ocean.

The sea surface is then freeze more easily during the fall and winter.

Climate experts observed that Antarctic sea ice shows a small but sufficient signikan expansion of about 1.9% in a decade since 1985.

Researchers from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), said this phenomenon is expected to continue to occur in the future.

They try to make them change it back via computer.

Sea ice extends through the fall and winter in the southern hemisphere because of the melting water.

"Sea ice around Antarctica increased despite the existence of global warming," said one researcher Richard Bintanja of KNMI.

"This is due to the melting of the ice from below," he told Reuters news agency.

The study in Nature Geoscience also mention that melts the cold water layer can limit the amount of water absorbed from the sea and falls as snow in Antarctica.

Shakespeare as Employers 'Cruel'

Shakespeare repeatedly been charged in court for illegally stockpiling food.

The famous British playwright, William Shakespeare, is also a landlord and a ruthless businessman.

A number of documents found Aberystwyth University in Wales, western England, discovered him to profit from hunger and hard times.
And tax court records show he was repeatedly charged with illegally stockpiling food for sale at high prices, reports the BBC's Tom Esslemont.
As a landlord, Shakespeare used most of their land to grow wheat and grains when famine hit Europe.
He then hoard some of the crops that can be sold at high prices, but the action could sniff the authorities and several well-known writers to the court process.
Residents who are late paying that food purchases are often subject to fines.

Died in Stratford

Aberystwyh University team estimated the new Shakespeare retired as a 'businessman' after working for 24 years.
Pasa his lifetime, he was the largest landowner in his hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon.
One of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, describes the rich landlords with background riots due to hoarding food during famine.
In work written between the years 1605-1608 is estimated, the ordinary citizen seeks revenge on the nobles and merchants were hampered them for food.
Terkeal screenwriter's Romeo and Juliet had a career in London but returned to Stratford-upon-Avon in the last five years of his life.
He died on 23 April 1616 and is remembered as one of the world's most important literary Click, whose work continues to offer staged in various parts of the world.

Last Date "Calendar Doomsday" Found

The last part of the ancient Maya artifacts (photo: Live Science)

GUATEMALA - The end of the Mayan calendar that is often synonymous with doomsday predictions have been found and instead talk about ancient political history. This is even more clear the calendar did not predict doom.

"This text speaks of the ancient political history, not prophecy," said Director of Tulane University Middle American Research Institute, Marcello Canuto.

"This new evidence suggests that the date is 13 calendar bak'tun markers of important events that celebrate the ancient Mayans. Although however, they do not make a doomsday prophecy in that date," he added.

Proclaimed Live Science on Saturday (30.06.2012), the Mayan calendar is divided into bak'tun or thousands of cycles for 144 days starting from the date of the Mayan creation. December 21, 2012 is the last day of the 13th bak'un and mark what they call the cycle of creation.

Previously many believe that December 21, 2012 relating to the doomsday predictions or as a marker of the occurrence of major spiritual event. But there is only one reference to the date of this archaeological finds. Now, researchers exploring the Mayan ruins of La Corona in Guatemala.

They find a monument to the second reference on December 21, 2012. On the stone steps carved hieroglyphs containing, they found the strongest leader's visit Maya's memoirs, Yuknnoom Yich'aak K'ahk of Calakmul.

As part of his visit, the king calls himself "the master 13 k'atun." K'atuns is another matter units within the Mayan calendar that contains approximately 7,200 days or nearly 20 years.

Jaguar Paw has been leading up to the end of the 13 Mayan k'atuns in 692 AD. From here began the end of calendar 2012. King's reign to connect to the cycle-13 or 13 bak'tun as an attempt to bind him and his future administration.
