Since long research about reproduction in space to be one hot topic,especially when the space exploration program began to be encouraged.Build human colonies on other planets may still be a dream.
The reason, the results showed that sex in space is still a high risk if it is intended to produce offspring. Based on the study, the resulting offspringwill probably have the disorder.
A study published in the Journal of Cosmology examine the development of zebrafish embryos under conditions similar to space conditions.Research carried out by placing the embryos in the bioreactor are made tosimulate gravity conditions in space. The scientists then recorded theembryonic development.
After the eggs hatch, the scientists found the bones that support the gillschange shape in some fish. A few months later, the number of fish that experienced abnormal increases. Scientists found the bones becomebent at the base of the skull.
Past research also found something similar. Only, the use of bireaktorcriticized for being unable to mimic the conditions of outer spaceperfectly.
Articles study in the Journal of Cosmology is touching on topics that are considered taboo and NASA has never discussed before: sex in space.This topic arose after a plan to send a human mission to Mars. (NationalGeographic Indonesia / Alex Pangestu)

Power Balance, Hoax !?
Power Balance Bracelet for a few months later became phenomenal.Some even wear the world famous figures such as David Beckam and Christiano Ronaldo. It is said, the product can improve balance, strength and body flexibility.
Manufacturer of Power Balance does not have scientific evidence about its benefits. However, they say, millions of people from 30 countries have benefited the bracelet. One who claims to feel the benefits are the Cardiff Blues rugby team from Wales, UK.
In order to scientifically assess the benefits, programs BBC Wales X-Ray in collaboration with scientists from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff (UWIC) to do research. Both parties do the tests on 10 athletes at random and see the changes that occur after using the bracelet.
Dr Gareth Irwin, Head of the Department of Bio Mechanics UWIC involved in the research, asked the athletes to do four light exercise with and without the bracelet Power Balance. Different tests conducted with the test are tested by the manufacturer Power Balance bracelet before.
Irwin asked all athletes closed his eyes during the test. As a result, a very simple test showed no difference in performance between using Power Balance bracelets and other bracelets. "We analyzed statistically and found no significant difference," he said as quoted by the BBC website, November 2010.
He pointed out, "Physiology and biology athletes did not change with wearing the bracelet. The small difference may exist, but that's just the placebo effect." The results of this research together with the opinion of Dr Andrew Dearden of the British Medical Association that says, bracelets Power Balance is a "pseudo science".
Currently, the Power Balance has deleted promotional video as part of changes to the product site in the UK. The company is also said to have been "shut down" all the unofficial sites Power Balance to reduce the information that is not accurate.
Responding to the BBC's investigation and UWIC, a spokesman said, among the believers in the power of Power Balance is never forced. In fact, they promised to return the money if the user is not satisfied with the benefits of the bracelet.
The company also said the teams and individuals in England who was wearing the bracelet was not paid. They only pay a few athletes in the United States as compensation when using his image. Teams Cardiff Blues claimed not get paid. Cardiff Government does not react with the results of this investigation.

Budgeting for your vacation
Many friends who ask me, how to estimate the budget for a walk or tour. Is simple enough, especially now with the internet, all the info easily be present in front of your computer.
To estimate the budget, we first have to divide the budget into three major criteria: Transportation, Accommodation, and Food. Please note that this is still beyond the cost of travel documents (such as passports, visas, etc.).
TRANSPORTATION Transportation Budget includes airfare and transportation in the city. Usually I find the estimated entire first transportation costs as follows: 1. First totalkan all transport ticket price (all the selected vehicle), can be checked via the Internet. No need to book directly, which is important to know the price first.
2. Then do not forget to look for info-info about transportation alternatives that might fall will be cheaper than a plane.
Example: Phuket-Krabi bus ticket = 155 baht, it was cheaper than Phuket-Krabi ferry ticket = 550 baht. Perhaps the arrival time will be longer, but all this back to the needs of each traveler. From here we can get the simulation of transport costs with some alternative capital.
ACCOMMODATION 1. First we collect the info from the internet, whichever is appropriate lodging our budget. For example I want to walk to Kuta, then I usually googling: "cheap lodging in Kuta" or "recommended hostels in Kuta". Note that I use two kinds of languages, is to seek opinions of local tourists and foreign tourists.
2. Or the other way, looking through the website hostels online booking service providers, such as hostelworld.com, hostelbookers.com, and the like. Here we can choose a hostel to suit our needs. Then totalkan accommodation costs, adjusted for how many days we stayed.
FOOD This includes food and drink for the road and snack-snack snacks alias. Budget meal should we specify. Usually I limit roughly Rp 50,000 a day includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
But it also depends on which our country will go, better looking more info about the cost of daily living in the place we are headed. One example of the estimated cost of living in various countries could look at the "Budget Travel Costs of 94 Cities around the World" by Go Budget Travel.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS After these three major budget we managed to get, now we have to find info about the cost of making the required documents (if we are planning to go abroad).
After all the roads budget was recorded and counted in a rugged, exaggerating about 30 percent for the reserve fund. This is important. You certainly do not want your vacation a mess because of lack of money in the middle of the journey is not it? (Herajeng Gustiayu)

Vacaton Tips 3
Vacation is not complete if it did not taste-taste alias culinary tour. Trying a variety of unique and delicious menu sure to be sought after when you travel in an interesting place. Well, if you intend to tour culinary, note the following:
Allergies Before eating a food that looks strange in your eyes, make sure you know the food is made from what material. If you have a history of allergies to certain foods, you need to confirm to the waiter about the ingredients contained in these dishes. Similarly with the halal from the menu.
Halal Similar to allergies, make sure you eat the menu does not contain material that is forbidden. Especially if you travel overseas, such as Europe and the United States, are generally not kosher menus available. The safest way is to eat at vegetarian restaurants. In Indonesia, there were several areas that many do not serve kosher food. Make sure you find the shop or restaurant that says 'Halal'. One safe option is to eat at the restaurant in Padang.
Eat Local Foods Make sure you try the local cuisine. Find out from residents about what the unique cuisine the region. This can help the tourism and local resident income. Complete with information on restaurants which provide a menu.
Where a nice restaurant? Often when I want to try a restaurant, we hesitate to taste the menu offered. Therefore, before you travel, do small-scale research via the Internet. Find out where to recommended restaurants. If you have not done research before, just look for restaurants with many visitors. If the visitor lot then it can be ascertained cooking was delicious.
Price Match Views restaurant looks fancy, not necessarily expensive menu prices. Neither the contrary. For the price, do not be ashamed to look at the menu first. Do not sit, just stand up and ask for the menu to the waiter. Just tell the waiter that you want to know in advance what the menu is served. Then peep the prices listed on the menu.
