ROBONAUT2 (R2) : NASA's Android Astronaut Assistant Prepares for Launch

NASA is preparing to send its first humanoid robot into space. Robonaut first twitched to life in September 1999 and, after a decade of tests, the 140-kilogram R2 model will finally be launched to the International Space Station on the space shuttle Discovery's last mission in September.

With continual maintenance work needed on the ISS, the idea is to give the crew an assistant that never tires of undertaking mundane mechanical tasks - initially inside the craft but later outside it too.

Robonaut2 is ambidextrous and designed to use the same tools as human astronauts. He can lift up to 20lbs and operate in environments too dangerous for humans. Basically he’s our red shirt. If it looks like someone might die, they’ll send Robonaut2

R2 comprises a humanoid head and torso with highly dexterous arms and hands. It was developed by NASA in conjunction with roboticists at General Motors. After being bolted to a piece of ISS infrastructure, R2 can use the same tools, such as screwdrivers and wrenches, as the astronauts.

One reason for the mission, NASA says, is to see how Robonaut copes with the cosmic radiation and electromagnetic interference inside the space station.

Robonaut 2, or R2, is a faster, more dexterous and more technologically advanced robot that can use its hands to do work beyond the scope of earlier humanoid machines, say the developers.

"Our challenge today is to build machines that can help humans work and explore in space," said Mike Coats, director of the Johnson Space Center.

"Working side by side with humans, or going where the risks are too great for people, machines like Robonaut will expand our capability for construction and discovery."

"For GM, this is about safer cars and safer plants," said Alan Taub, GM's vice president for global research and development. "The partnership's vision is to explore advanced robots working together in harmony with people, building better, higher quality vehicles in a safer, more competitive manufacturing environment."

The original Robonaut, a humanoid robot designed for space travel, was built 10 years ago, and was starting to look decidedly creaky.

R2 is not only more dexterous, but also stronger than its predecessor. It can lift a 20lb weight at arm's length, about four times as much as any other dexterous robot, says NASA.

A Bunker for Doomsday for $10 million

2012, or the year of global cataclysm, is around the corner for both believers of providence or otherwise. To save us from chasing our fate to reach China then, like in Roland Emmerich film 2012, a California based company Vivos has created a military-style $10 million bunker – now, even this is luxury for the sheikhs and millionaires, just what that struggle for survival showed on screen. Nonetheless, it is a great idea and we wouldn’t shy off from detailing it.

This nuclear blast proof bunk is an underground tunnel good to accommodate 200 people for a year, this owing to its own power generation, food supply, water wells, filtration systems, security devices and medical equipment. The only reason I am excited about the million dollar bunk is the fact that if the world survives its end in 2010, it could keep people safe from terrorist or nuclear attacks, which aren’t going the spare the world. Read on for a video demonstration.

Bunker was made by Vivos company, based in the City of Del Mar, California, United States. Vivos claimed to have prepared a special bunker for dealing with “Doomsday.” Located beneath the Mojave deserts, bunkers were designed to make residents safer from nuclear attack and natural disaster while making their stay comfortable, like staying at home.

If you’re one of the 4000 inhabitants of the bunker, Vicino promised these bunkers capable of protecting occupants from terrible disasters, such as up to 10 earthquakes on the Richter scale, 50-megaton nuclear blast that exploded in the distance of 20 miles, as well as the effects of solar storms with the power of millions of volts wave electromagnetic.

African's Robot Made from Trash

A student from Togo, Africa, was able to prove that to make a robot doesn't have to always use the materials and sophisticated equipment. From electronic scrap can too.

Todo Sam, a teenage genius, he has proved the above statement. Armed with equipment and materials improvise, he was able to create a humanoid robot that can walk. No less with Asimo, a robot made by Japanese giant auto industries, Honda.

Even Sam, you could say 'more intense'. Because, capable of designing and building a robot that most of the material comes from the piles of electronic waste, ranging from a broken CRT TVs, and other electronic materials.

SAM10, the name of this teenage African-made robots. Indeed, if we viewed from the appearance, SAM10 still lose cool than Asimo. But in terms of capability, innovation, and perseverance, Sam should be proud of himself. Read More..

SOORENA 2, Iran's second ROBOT

A new Iranian humanoid robot called Soorena-2 has been designed by developed by 20 researchers and engineers from the University of Tehran to be used to conduct what are being called "sensitive jobs". What these jobs actually are we don’t know. The President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad just recently showed off this 4.7-foot walking robot to the world.

Soorena’s, who’s been named after an ancient Persian warrior, weighs in at 99 pounds and is capable of 12 foot movements, eight hand movement and the two for the head. We still don’t know exactly what Soorena-2 is capable of, or ist just one of those technological advancements one likes to show off.

Soorena two designed by 20 people robotics expert from the University of Tehran. This robot is claimed to be able to replace humans in performing various tasks that quite difficult in a different situation.

Just like humans, these robots were able to walk to synchronize the movement of the feet and hands. Not only that, with the ability of 12 movements in the foot, eight-movement in the hand and the two movements in the head, this humanoid robot can be instructed to work on all programs.



This is the second time Iran to create a humanoid robot. Earlier in 2008, Iranian scientists have created the first humanoid robot, named Soorena 1.

This robot able to down a road that has been determined by the sensitive path-finder system and capable of reading text.

(2012) If the Magnetic Poles Shift, What Will Happens

Of course we all still remember about the Mayan prophecy that says in the year 2012 will be doomsday. Of course, many people still asking questions about the truth of this prediction. What really happened at that time still a big question, even among scientists.



Some say that later in the year 2012 will be an extremes change of temperature on earth, so the earth back to the ice age. There is also speculation that the solar activity cycle peaked in 2012 which caused immense heat in the earth, especially the atmosphere we've experienced thinning and perforated in several parts so that in addition to heating the earth with radical also melt the ice at the poles and also causing the storms and awesome typhoons




There is a speculation about the earth's magnetism. Earth's magnetic field which serves as the main defense against solar radiation the earth began to crack even exist until as big as California. Shifting poles are also ongoing.

Earth magnetic pole reversal may cause major problems for the earth, for example:

1. Volcanoes on earth will be growing in number, and the movement of tectonic plates of the earth an increasingly active and cause a big earthquake in different parts of the world.
2. Earth's gravity will change although we will not know how those changes.
3. Endurance possessed by animals and humans will be weakened, because the thickness of the body systems in humans and animals and is highly dependent on the natural environment around including on the earth's magnetic field.
4. Objects from outer space will more and more interested into the earth's atmosphere, it can cause a crash or collision with these objects and of course this will be very dangerous for living things on earth.
5. Communication system that uses radio waves will experience malfunctions, including power plants that exist on earth will experience a very severe damage.
6. Power earth protection against radiation-dangerous radiation from space will be weakened so that dangerous particles coming from outer space will freely enter the earth rained down.

It had been a partial impact will occur when the earth's magnetic field completely disappeared. Then is it true if the magnetic field shifts, the sun will rise from the west? This is NASA's prediction:

"In the next few years there is the possibility of changes in the earth's magnetic poles, which is a thousand-year cycle of the planets and stars. Though hard to believe, for example, NASA said that in 2001 we are the stars, sun, have undergone changes in these poles. But because the mass of the sun is relatively uniform and we do not live there, then people do not feel this change is relative."

So what's the effect on life in this world? One thing that certainly, is our compass needle will no longer pointed toward the north but to follow the North magnetic pole that have moved to the South. That is all? it's just a possibility. The worst effect is a slight possibility of magnetic interference which may damage electronic equipment, satellite, power plants or other technological devices.

So, let's we think. If the North magnetic pole of the earth was in the South, where our sun will rise?

Why Won't a Magnet Stick to a Stainless Steel

Source: NY Times

While some common kinds of stainless steel are not attracted to a magnet, a magnet will stick to some other kinds. The magnetic properties of stainless steel vary from alloy to alloy.

Stainless steel in general has significant amounts of chromium added to iron to improve its corrosion resistance. Depending on the intended use, some types also have varying amounts of nickel added, or other metals, like manganese or molybdenum. Different combinations yield different degrees of different properties, like hardness, stress resistance and malleability.

What is known as 18/8 stainless steel, commonly found in cutlery, has 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel added to the iron and does not show magnetic properties at room temperature.

Whether a particular kind of stainless steel can be magnetized by exposure to a magnetic field depends on its crystalline structure, and that structure varies according to the various metallic additions to iron and sometimes according to temperature.

In types of stainless classified as ferromagnetic, the structure allows tiny internal magnetic regions called domains to line up by polarity when exposed to a magnetic field. In types classified as austenitic, this does not happen. The underlying difference is the arrangement of electrons in the inner core of the iron ions.

The Phenomenon of Magnetic Bracelets

Source: Kompas.com

Now more and more ads for health magnetic bracelet. In Indonesia and Malaysia, various types and forms of magnetic bracelets are marketed, with various types of materials, there are from stainless steel, titanium, and tungsten. Benefits from magnets for health have long been known. More than 2000 years ago, ancient Chinese and Indians have proved that the use of stone that produces a magnet can overcome various disturbances such as stress, epilepsy, insomnia, as well as kidney and liver problems.

The human body requires a magnet. This was confirmed by records on the condition of the astronauts who first landed on the moon when they return to earth. When the three astronauts should be quarantined because of difficulty walking and impaired metabolism. In fact, they are equipped with oxygen, water, and adequate nutrition when it went into space.

From the research results, the astronaut's body is not exposed to earth's magnetic when in outer space. Since then, the experts began studying the influence of magnetism on the human body.



In recent years the use of magnetic bracelets and necklaces are trendy. Magnetic accessories which cost hundreds of thousands to millions of rupiah was sold well because it is believed to be beneficial to health.

Consider just a story Ido (25). Initially he worked as a writer was in disbelief at his friend's story that said this bracelet can add stamina. After trying, he began to believe. He said: "Stamina became stronger and more balanced body." Especially after receiving information on the Internet that the bracelet was a lot of famous people wear, for example a famous basketball player, Shaquille O'Neal.

Increased blood flow
Described by Dr. Erwin Kusuma, Sp.KJ (K), a therapist, holistic way of Clinical Pro-V, among others, magnetic influence blood circulation. "The magnetic field can affect blood circulation. The flow of blood in the body will increase. When blood flow increases, automatically, oxygen DPN other nutrients are distributed more quickly to the whole body," explained the man who also observers of healing with magnets energy.

Thus, the body will have a supply of oxygen and nutrients is more likely to keep the internal organs. The magnetic field will be more easily absorbed into the body if placed directly on the main arteries, such as heart arteries contained on the wrist or the carotid arteries located in the neck. Thus, many diseases caused by lack of blood flow can be handled smoothly.

This agreed by Tom Suhalim, Dipl. Phyt, ND, naturopathic experts from the Clinic Pro-V. Tom says, a variety of complaints related to blood circulation can be overcome with this magnetic bracelet or necklace.

When tested with an aura photograph, magnetic bracelets and necklaces are showing positive results. "Aura of people who wore these objects be bigger. The aura of enlarged to make a person more healthy and more resistant to disease attack," said Tom.

What must be remembered, is not the same magnetic field effect on each person. "It all depends on the condition of the wearer. Thus, the results should not be generalized," he added.

Even so, Dr. Erwin and Tom Suhalim remind people to be vigilant. "Not everyone is suited to wear a magnetic bracelet or necklace this. It should be checked for people who want to use it beforehand," said Dr. Erwin.

Do not use continues
In addition, the duration of wearing magnetic bracelets and necklaces should also be considered. Many people mistakenly wearing it constantly. "The magnetic field makes a fast metabolism. In fact, the body also needs rest. If used without a break, actually can damage organs in the body," said Tom.

Not only that, the authenticity of these bracelets and necklaces should also be ensured. Because often there are bracelets and necklaces are sold but does not contain a magnet unit that is ideal for "correct" the condition of the body.

To overcome that, there is a way of measuring the magnetic force using Gaussmeter. According to Dr. Erwin, content of magnetic bracelets and necklaces at great between 1000 to 3000 Gauss. Because not everyone has Gaussmeter, easy way to test it is to put a spoon.

"If the spoon still stuck to sticky and did not fall, meaning magnetic bracelet or necklace that standard. Beware, too, do not let more than 3000 Gauss, because it can damage the body if used continuously," he said.

Compared with siblings

I am now 17 ages old, three years I've studied at the Senior High School Melati Samarinda, and during one of the three years I should be a period of my studies with my old brother. it's so many advantages for have one big brother in the same School, he can tell me anything That I, the new students have not understand. It's the make it Easier to do all activities in my high school, Because I've school in dormed school, so the system is applied in dormitory is military system with seniority system too actually.

But, not just the advantages, there are too many disadvantages for me That have to school with my big brother. Physically, my brother's body is Smaller than me, he is more handsome, more charismatic, and more quiet man, that's what make many Different with me, a fat boy, ugly (Some says I handsome, but I think they want just lie to make me happy, LOL), and so hyperactive. Above of all that, I always sweat. Maybe the fair when people will be sweating on the heat, but what I experienced is not normal. When the cold weather, I can sweat a lot, even after I take a bath is usual for me to sweat a lot.

After I surf into google, I found Some sites That contains articles about a disease called "hyperhidrosis", or in other name "diaphoresis." I've always wonder That I suffered from this disease. But I just thingking positive about my body. Honestly, this disease seems trivial, but the Impact That I get from this "over-sweating" is too much. In terms of social, I will not let anybody to grab or touch my hand wet, cause after they want grab or touch it, they will insult me, it so annoyed me. In everyday life the impact much more large. Because I can not concentrate always dripping sweat. After I take a bath, I, Sometimes will of sweating, though in cold temperatures.

Okay, I'll save That hyperhidrosis story for later. Now I Will tell you That I've felt the disadvantage Because of one school with my brother. First, that, in many aspect, worse than my old brother, are always compared. Of course this does not make me comfortable in school there. but I've always try not to think to much about it.

They all can say whatever they want about me Want, It's all they want will, but, if you, Someone outside there, ever compare with your own brothers / sisters, always remember this:

I AM WHAT I WANT, THIS IS ME, IT'S UP TO THEM WHAT THEY SAY, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T ME, I AM WHO I AM.

Jabal Magnets, Natural Wonders of Mount Magnet in Medina

Medina, who we know as the Prophet's city, has beautiful natural scenery, also surrounded by hills called Jabal. At the time of hajj pilgrims do the pilgrimage, they took trips to the region to the north of Medina, known as a tourist area for its pilgrimage church. This area includes the most fertile areas in Medina, in addition to Quba Rayon. With the winding streets, in contrast to most streets here are straight. This region is called Mantheqa Baidha (White Village). But not because of this township Hajj pilgrims tour, is due to natural phenomena in this village, Jabal Magnet.




Jabal (Mount) Magnet, a mountain that looks like an ordinary mountain, but, it's actually not an ordinary mountain, the mountain that located in the tourist attraction in northern city of Medina, which is about 30 KM from the city of Medina in the direction of the city of Tabuk, has incredible natural phenomenon . As the name implies, Jabal Magnet, this mountain has a tremendous magnetic field strength can even affect the cars that passing by. Extraordinary natural phenomena can be felt throughout the five-kilometer road from the end of asphalt to the entrance to this area. This road itself ends in five rows of the hills that surround the area.

However, this phenomenon, Jabal magnet widely known among Hajj pilgrims but not known by the native citizens of Medina, they do not call it Jabal Magnet, but Manthaqotul Baido (White Soil). MVI is said that this magnet is the magnetic center of the world's largest, it is felt by the magnetism of the car in neutral position gears, the car can be sped along. Conversely, the vehicle crossed into the MVI magnet will feel heavy, because the pull of the currents.

The streets in the Medina is down, but not too steep. It is a miracle when a car with a dead engine in the middle of the street had pulled up to 120 kmph though gears release, but this phenomenon only lasts about 2-3 km.

Indeed many other places that have a magnetic field than in Medina, such as South Korea, Greece, Australia, the eastern United States, and also in the vicinity of Mount Kelud, East Java, but the magnetic force in the area are not as strong as the magnetic field in the magnet in Medina Jabal.

Almighty Allah.

First Time in Jogja

I was born in Jogjakarta, but 16 years I grew up in Samarinda, and now, I must return to the city full of exotic elegance to continue my studies to university level.

I was accepted at the University of Gadjah Mada University in Jogjakarta on the faculty of electrical engineering. dated August 18 later I will start my studies, I hope I can continue to gain knowledge as much. Here, I settled in the boarding house on the street POGUNG DALANGAN.I could be confused with street jogjakarta so many narrow streets, but the little bit I have started to understand this route in Jogjakarta.

Because of my curiosity about what exactly are the functions that we can get from the magnet, I plan to study it more deeply at the university later. In this blog I will not only present on the magnetic course, maybe most, will tell you about magnets, but I'm also someone who tried to understand the problems that exist in my life in another corner that I will pour into this blog.Hopefully you can receive all my thoughts, because after all I am just an ordinary human who not infallible.

Jogjakarta, a city with its hospitality, the beauty of his city, how I dreamed to be able to live here, and finally the dream come true. Thank God Almighty. Read More..

Man with the World's High Power Magnets

Several months ago, The Star Malaysia daily reported strange abilities possessed a grandfather named Tan Kok Thai 66-year-old. Grandfather who lives in Tanjung Rambutan, Malaysia was preached his body like a magnet that versatile. Once, his body pulled the kitchen knife, and to test how much traction in his body, he binds his kitchen knife with a rope and tied on two bikes, as he stood outside the second alleged that bike hanging in the air by a kitchen knife his body was drawn up.

Capabilities Tan Kok Thai is the first time realized last year. Once, when he opened his clothing, slipped a coin out of his pocket, but, the coin does not fall on the floor, but are patching in his chest. At that time, he did not much care for it.

One day, Tan Kok Thai saw a documentary in Mandarin, a demonstration of permissibility of a man from Taiwan who could pull a few coins in his body. Impression it made was moved to try, then instantly he found when he was able to suck up almost all the existing objects in the house, such as remote control, electric irons, kitchen knives, toothpaste tubes, mobile phones, calculators, plastic, glass, books, biscuit, etc. boards. After repeated practice, his chest is now even able to suck up a large stone weighing 38.5 kg.

Wonders of the old man whose body was like iron villagers dared to make a lot of stunned surprise, and disbelief over what he saw it. Before the show, Tan Kok Thai usually need to do some warm-up first, and certainly he could not pull it in case sweat. With such abilities, possibly related to the characteristics of their skin, but, if it wanted to prove it, need to be tested.

Sucking power of these objects has caused the attention of Malaysian scientists, lectors University of Technology (UTM) Malaysia Nasrul Humaimi Mahmood and professor of electrical engineering that is Mohamed Amin, who had previously studied people who have this kind of supernormal abilities. One of the objects that have examined Liew Thow Lin is a 74-year-old, who called the man's grandfather was living in Mount magnet Meeting, Ipoh, Malaysia, she could pull a piece of metal plate weighing 30 kg is placed on his stomach. In September 2001, in a hospital in Tanjung Rambutan Bahagia, he once pulled a car up to 50 yards more with the metal plate pull chain through his stomach.

So far there is no information related to the results of research conducted by Nasrul Humaimi Mahmood and Mohamed Amin of body Tan Kok Thai. And until now the ability possessed by two grandfathers are still a mystery to modern knowledge of science, because it is difficult to explain scientifically.

An unusual article titled "Trends in Unisoviet anti-scientific" in the American journal of science 1991 edition includes a half-page photo image of a girl who was smiling as he held up his palm, which looks a piece of metal embedded in one hand, while the fourth teaspoon fruit stuck on the other hand

Description of picture writing, "a supernatural phenomenon ... has appeared in Unisoviet has attracted much attention and credibility of the various layers of society." Furthermore, the photo caption explains "the details of the picture given by the official news agency Tass that explained that the 10-year girl from Georgia, the Soviet demonstrate the performance phenomenal with interesting metal, from a teaspoon to an iron in his hand. "

The author of the article Sergei Kapitza, is president Unisoviet Physical Society and editor of Russian edition of Scientific American, which explains at length that the trend of anti Unisoviet has experienced such knowledge in the West. It said interest in the ESP and UFOs, astrology and clairvoyance, Mystic Cults and mesmeric healing "is an indication of dissatisfaction, disappointment and loss of direction. Maybe he wanted to show that he is a true scholar, Kapitza ensure that scientific authority is based on the strength of the scientific method that can be proven.

Lapse of 11 years after reading that article I still do not know about the ability of magnetic puzzle girl. I then get an article titled "Human-suckers: the secret behind the incredible power of the Malaysian human magnet" in the English magazine Fortean Time (February 2002). The article reveals the ability Liew Thow Lin, 70 years old, from Mount Meeting, Malaysia, which makes metal attached to his body in ways that dramatically. He uses a chain that is attached to a metal plate placed in his stomach, and he has proved able to draw a car as far as 50 meters. He also can lift a load weighing 30 kg in the chest, including bricks, arranged in an iron.

Quoting the Malaysian newspaper, Fortean Times article said that researchers from Teknological University of Malaysia in Ipoh test Liew's body, and gain strength can not be explained by the theory of magnetism, but it's not an illusion. "Her skin has a special suction effect that can make the metal attached to it," said Mohammed Amin, a professor doing research. An article follows a similar photo image Liew also appeared in the newspaper The Australian on October 26, 2001.

MAGNET in the world of MEDICINE

CLEOPATRA was probably the first prominent figure to wear a magnet. Noted that she slept in the lodestone to keep her skin to keep it as a young child.

Knowledge therapy is given Greeks who have been using magnets for since 2500 BC.Magnets have been used in Chinese medicine from around 2000 BC combined with reflexology and acupuncture. In 15-century doctor Paracelsus (Switzerland) recognizes power magnet therapy.He wrote medical papers on the effect of magnets on the process of healing in the body.



In the 16th century, a doctor from the UK Dr William Gilbert made research on the electrical and magnetism. He took out one of his first book on magnetic therapy called "De Magnet". Dr Gilbert was also the personal physician of Queen Elizabeth I and said that she used magnets under the instructions.

Michael Faraday, also known as the inventor Biomagnetik make research on magnetic healing during the 18th century.His work is still used as the basis for this modern day magnetic treatments.

Dr Mesmer (the father of hypnotism) and Dr Samual Hahnemann (the father of homeopathy) also contributed to his work. 20th century scholars including Dr Kreft a German doctor who in 1905 studied the healing effects of magnets on rheumatic disease, sciatica and neuralgia.

Year 1926 Dr Criles study the impact of magnets on cancer cells and was followed 10 years later in 1938 with Albert Davis carrying out tests on the effects of the north and south poles of a magnet.

However in recent 15 years has shown the development of productive in medical studies into magnetic therapy. More than 57 lessons in the USA about the disease difficult to cure and magnetic. Among others are:

• 1990 - University of Hawaii tested magnetic fields on patients with osteoarthritis.
• 1992 - Trying to sample the healing randomized double-blind trial of wound healing in venous leg wounds.
• 1999 - New York Medical College tested magnetic insoles on diabetic patients ..
• 2001 - University of Virginia tested magnetic mattress covers in patients with Fibromyalgia.
• 2004 - The University of Exeter and Plymouth tried magnetic bracelets on patients with osteoarthritis

Magnetic therapy achieved world popularity with many celebrities choose such as:

• Cherie Blair
• Bill Clinton
• Anthony Hopkins
• Prince William
• Queen Elizabeth II
• Shirley MacLaine
• Venus Williams
• Michael Jordan
• Andre Agassi
• Jack Niklaus and others.

Magnetic therapy is now incorporated into medical treatment in 54 countries worldwide. With so many research each year, we can see some of the coming year will digunalan magnets in the treatment of conventional painkillers.

Some type of magnets used in magnet therapy:

• 2000 gauss magnet strength - is used to treat almost any disease.
• 1500 gauss magnet strength premiere - this is used to treat the problem Neurologist.Magnet is very effective in providing magnetic wave penetration.
• 
  
• Low-power ceramic magnet with a strength of 300 gauss - these magnets are used to epalikasi near brain regions.Is used to improve vision, treat cataracts, glaucoma and other rentina problem. Also very helpful in increasing children's height. Magnets are also used to treat headaches and migrants.
• Lumbar Belt spondilitik - used to treat lumbar spondylitis (inflammation of the pubic bone), hernias, prolapsed disc, rheumatic in lower back, and so forth. And in certain circumstances can reduce excess fat in the abdomen, when the area a magnet placed on the front.
• Cervical collar or belt (cervical belt) - This is used in cases of cervical inflammation (spondylitis servical). Magnet will help children who are learning because they are constantly sit and write for hours, and a sprained neck muscles which is a pre taham spondylosis.
• Necklace - This is used to maintain healthy breasts so perfect, especially the heart and lungs.
• Magnetic buttons - this is japanese magnets are so small on the soles of shoes or plugs are in the glue on the skin at the point akupresure to give the desired results without actually on the puncture with a needle. It also seems to be very effective in a variety of other diseases and seen as opening new domains in the treatment of the magnetism.
• Magnetic Water - was prepared by keeping the water at each pole of high-strength magnets for 12 to 14 hours. After this water is mixed from both poles and in use by the drink. Magnet is a diuretic and blood cleanser which is very effective.
• Termagnetisasi oils - any oil termagnetisasi by keeping it above the magnets for 12 to 24 hours.Very effective in dandruff, hair loss, and premature gray hair in the hair.
• Bracelet - Magnetic bracelets are very beautiful shape.Magnets are used to treat high blood pressure or low in the early stages, and improve blood circulation.
• Bracelet MAGNOTEC give strength 3500 gauss + FIR is very effective to cure and treat many diseases.

My Interesting In Magnet Function

I've got a big interest to this thing: MAGNET!!

So, I'll tell you all about one of magnet function for health:

MAGNET THERAPY

Magnets for health benefits is already long been known. More than 2000 years ago the people of ancient China and India have proved that the use of stone to produce magnets can overcome stress, epilepsy, insomnia, impaired kidney and liver.

While in this modern era of research on magnet therapy has many

performed. In Germany, Dr. Wofgang Ludwig Sc. Bio Physics PhD from institutions in Horb prove and recommends the use of magnets to treat cancer, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), neurological disorders, bone and blood.

The use of magnets in the medical field was already very much help. One of the many we hear is MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), which is helping doctors diagnose diseases in the body.

In his book entitled Archives of General Psychiatry, Ehud Klein and Isabelle Kreinin wrote that the use of magnets as therapeutic tools proven to help reduce symptoms of depression.

Based on the research Dr. William H. Philpott a psychiatrist and a neurologist in Oklahoma has been doing research on biomagnetik for several years. Negative magnetic fields have been tested and applied to the human body? Turn stimulating hormone associated with sleep, melatonin and make people sleep more soundly.

Experiments at Loma Linda University, MIT, and several universities in Europe have proven that certain magnetic devices facilitate blood flow.

Almost all disease is caused by lack of blood flow fluently, that will eventually destroy nerve tissue. In other words nutrients are not delivered to each cell in need. Some theories about the effects of many proposed magnet therapy (backyard), but the end result of all that can be grouped as follows:

a. PERFORMANCE FUNCTION STIMULATING autonomic nervous

b. Reduce pain and inflammation

c. HELPING blood flow

d. Launched OXYGEN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK TO EVERY BODY

e. Flex NEURAL AND MUSCLE BODY

Some research data that prove the benefits of Magnets for Health:

"Magnetic energy to bring beneficial effects on blood circulation,

lymph circulation, hormone production, nerves and muscles "

Dr. Ulrich Warnke, M.D. Magnets to Overcome Pain. The New Healing Method (Magnet Overcoming Pain. New Healing Method).

"The use of magnetic therapy works, simple, risk-free (safe) and low cost. It offers the lay man or woman can perform self treatment for health problems at any time throughout his life"

Dr. Evelyne Holzapfel. Magnetic Therapy

"No one doubts about the use of magnets to relieve pain after Dr. Carlos Valbona former chairman of the Department of Community Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Valbona further in his research was amazed when he received a few changes thanks to the influence of magnets on the patient's work post-polio patients. "

The New York Times, Dec.. 8.1997.

"I do not say something like a priest, but look at my face: This magnetic therapy is a gift from God. It's good for almost anything."

Dr. Kenneth S. Mclean, MD. Bioenergy Newsletter, Feb.1986.

"Besides being easy, efficient and inexpensive, magnet therapy provides long-term effects and guaranteed safety."

Dr. Louis Donnet, MD. Magnets For Your Health (Magnets for your Health)

"Magnetic therapy in Japan and elsewhere in parts of Europe and Asia has become a traditional medical treatment (populist), is a form of self medication which can be relied upon."

Richard Leviton, "Natural Energy Healing" ("Healing with Nature's Energy") East-West Journal, June 1986.

"The results are surprisingly obtained from magnetic therapy as a whole has given a post which was really important in the world of therapy"

S. Neville Bengali M.D. Magnet Therapy: Theory and Practice

"This is a revolution in the therapy for muscle injuries, as well as help with the pain and disruption caused by the attitude (posture) the wrong body. We have been doing therapy 4000 patients with tendon injuries to the neck with magnetic therapy and 80% of them experiencing the healing"

Dr. J.B. Baron, MD? Medical Convention at the Baylor College of Medicine, Texas.

About HYPERHIDROSIS

Life is always beautiful, except if you have the disorder. This is one disorder that I have always taken for granted by other people but has a big impact for me. yes, HYPERHIDROSIS. This is the following definition of hyperhidrosis:

HYPERHIDROSIS or in the other name DIAPHORESIS is the condition characterized by abnormally increased perspiration,in excess of that required for regulation of body temperature.

CLASSIFICATION:
Hyperhidrosis can either be generalized or localized to specific parts of the body. Hands, feet, armpits, and the groin area are among the most active regions of perspiration due to the relatively high concentration of sweat glands; however, any part of the body may be affected.



Hyperhidrosis can also be classified depending on if it is a congenital or acquired trait. Primary hyperhidrosis is found to start during adolescence or even before and seems to be inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait. Primary hyperhidrosis must be distinguished from secondary hyperhidrosis, which can start at any point in life. The latter form may be due to a disorder of the thyroid or pituitary gland, diabetes mellitus, tumors, gout, menopause, certain drugs, or mercury poisoning.

Hyperhidrosis may be also divided into palmoplantar (symptomatic sweating of primarily the hands or feet), gustatory or generalized hyperhidrosis.

Alternatively, hyperhydrosis may be classified according to the amount of skin that is affected and its possible causes. In this approach, excessive sweating in an area that is greater than 100 cm2 (up to generalized sweating of the entire body) is differentiated from sweating that affects only a small area.

CAUSE:
The cause of primary hyperhidrosis is unknown, although some surgeons claim that it is caused by sympathetic overactivity. Nervousness or excitement can exacerbate the situation for many sufferers. Other factors can play a role; certain foods and drinks, nicotine, caffeine, and smells can trigger a response.

A common complaint of patients is that they get nervous because they sweat, then sweat more because they are nervous.

Hyperhidrosis of a relatively large area (>100 square cm or generalized)

* In people with a past history of spinal cord injuries
o Autonomic dysreflexia
o Orthostatic hypotension
o Posttraumatic syringomyelia
* Associated with peripheral neuropathies
o Familial dysautonomia (Riley-Day syndrome)
o Congenital autonomic dysfunction with universal pain loss
o Exposure to cold
* Associated with probable brain lesions
o Episodic with hypothermia (Hines and Bannick syndrome)
o Episodic without hypothermia
o Olfactory
* Associated with intrathoracic neoplasms or lesions
o Associated with systemic medical problems
o Pheochromocytoma
o Parkinson's disease
o Thyrotoxicosis
o Diabetes mellitus
o Congestive heart failure
o Anxiety
o Menopausal state
o Due to drugs or poisoning
o Night sweats
o Compensatory

Hyperhidrosis of relatively small area (<100 style="font-weight:bold;">TREATMENT:
A. Drugs
Sedative and anticholinergic (drug aimed at blocking the chemicals responsible for nerve activity) is a drug commonly used, but these drugs are not made specifically for the treatment of hyperhidrosis is, besides a lot of side effects.

B. Antiperspiran
Antiperspiran and deodorants are used for daily use to reduce underarm sweating and body odor. For patients with excessive perspiration very special antiperspiran mengadung Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate common usually given first. This herb is very easy to use but for some people this herb may cause skin irritation. This herb is very effective for patients with mild hyperhidrosis.

C. Iontophoresis
This method uses a weak electric current to reduce sweat gland function. Patient's hand or foot is placed on a plate which weak electric currents flowed. This method is very time-consuming and must be repeated.

D. Botox
As also used to eliminate facial wrinkles, Botox injections are used to paralyze the sweat glands and this method only for the treatment of hyperhidrosis axillae (armpit). This method also requires repetition.

2. Treatment with surgery
Because no one from the non-surgical methods above that can offer a permanent cure, the approach to the way the operation has been built to provide better treatment options. Since the year 1920, (an operation to separate the sympathetic nerve chain) has become a reliable method to eliminate hyperhidrosis. Unfortunately, the only way to reach the sympathetic chain is with a large incision in the chest or neck of the patient. This makes this method an operation that has greater risk of complications besides a large incision is also so reasonable if both the surgeons and patients are reluctant to pursue this method.

Thoracoscopy method (operation using a tool resembling a pipe as a tool to look inside the chest cavity), introduced in 1942 to run Sympathectomy and this method has executed hundreds of times in the 1940s, but for no apparent reason this method is forgotten until finally in tahun1980 thorascope introduced an equipped camera.

Now, with the new method allows surgeons perform Sympathectomy on both sides of the chest using only one camera instruments only. This method is known as Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy (VATS).

This operation is performed with general anesthesia and with two 5-mm incision size on both sides of the chest to access the chest cavity. With the help of cameras mounted on the thorascope Sympathetic nerve chain that is located at the base of the ribs of the second and third separated by using an electrical cutting tools. Usually patients can immediately feel the results and the patient can go home from hospital the next day with his hands dry and warm. The success rate of this method approaches 100%.

POSITIVE EFFECTS FROM SYMPATHECTOMY
1. Very excessive perspiration on the hands will be cured in almost all patients. After surgery the patient's hand will be dry and warm. The success rate of this method approaches 100%.
2. Very excessive perspiration in the armpit can be reduced or cured in almost all patients with thoracic nerve and cut into three.
3. Very excessive perspiration in the feet may be omitted. Some patients feel the sweat on the soles of the feet is reduced after the operation.
4. There was a slight decrease in the number of heartbeats. Some patients said they became more calm even in stressful circumstances and no longer experience the heart pounding. A pounding heart when making presentations in public can also slightly reduced.
5. Patients who also suffer from migraine headaches feel the loss of this disorder after surgery.

NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SYMPATHECTOMY
1. Compensatory Sweating (CS) - replacement of sweat
After surgery 85% of patients felt the addition of sweat on the thighs and calves than ever.
2. Horner's Syndrome
This occurs when there is damage to the first thoracic nerve during the operation that causes the eyelids to be slightly down. It is very rare and may be improving as time goes by.
3. Pneumothorax (air leaks in lungs)
Complications are very rare as a result of injury to the lung surface or may occur in patients who settles lung disease. This condition usually improves by itself and is not a big problem.

In general, this operation is an excellent method to cure hyperhidrosis can this miserable. This operation provides a direct and permanent cure for the patient. This operation is relatively easy to implement with minimal side effects and complications are rare. The pain after surgery was also minimal and can be reduced with a simple painkiller.
