Kegiatan Industri pada malam hari

Proses pembangunan pada negara berkembang seperti indonesia tidak  semuannya berjalan mulus. Banyak negara – negara berkembang mengalami kesulitan dalam proses pembangunannya. Agar proses pembangunannya berjalan lancar, sebuah negara bermula dari pendapatan yang rendah kemudian memasuki pendapatan menengah dan terakhir berpendapatan tinggi. Dilema yang terjadi dinegara kita adalah mempunyai sumber daya alam yang melimpah ruah, tetapi tidak dapat mengelola nya dengan semaksimal mungkin. Menjadi jelas meskipun negara tersebut kaya tetapi tetap akan ada berpendapatan golongan rendah berarti tidak adanya wirausaha yang mampu mengelola untuk mensejahterakan negaranya. Dan indonesia salah satu negara yang berpendapatan menengah dan terjebak dalam pinjaman dalam maupun luar negeri. Biasanya industri di negara seperti ini berbasis teknologi rendah. Sedang masyarakatnya mendapat penghasilan dari sektor tradisional atau industri berbasis tenaga kerja tidak terampil.

Indonesia memiliki sumber daya manusia yang banyak dan merupakan salah satu Negara yang penduduknya terpadat didunia. Sehingga dibutuhkannya lapangan kerja agar keseimbangan dalam segi kehidupan dalam berekonomi dapat berjalan dengan baik. Dengan banyaknya persaingan pekerjaan dimungkinkan untuk diambilnya jalan alternatif dengan membuka peluang wirausaha sebanyak – banyaknya.

 Salah satu Kegiatan Industri Baja terbesar di Indonesia

 Zaman globalisasi sudah terasa dipersaingan pasar dunia maupun dalam negeri. Sehingga dibutuhkannya kesadaran dalam diri untuk menghadapi kerasnya dalam perdagangan internasional. Agar indonesia bisa siap dan mampu untuk bersaing dengan negara – negara tetangga maupun negara yang sudah maju. Dengan banyaknya perusahaan yang dikuasi oleh orang asing, tentunya akan ada banyak kendala yang diperoleh dari orang pribumi untuk mengembangkan potensinya. Dan kurang memihaknya pemerintah dalam membantu individu – individu yang ingin melakukan berwirausaha sehingga perkembangan bisnis besar hanya banyak dikuasai oleh perusahaan asing.

Bumi Kita Sekarang

Saat ini bumi kita semakin tidak bersahabat. Kita sering mengeluhkan bahwa pada siang hari matahari terasa begitu terik sedangkan malam hari terasa begitu dingin. Tidak salah jika kita merasa seperti itu. Karena data-data menunjukan bahwa bumi sudah mengalami peningkatan suhu yang mengkhawatirkan setiap tahunnya.
Hal ini menyebabkan lapisan ozon menipis dan sinar UV dari matahari tidak banyak tersaring lagi. Gunung es yang ada di kutub utara dan selatan pun sedikit demi sedikit mencair sehingga menyebabkan banyak bencana alam yang sekarang ini semakin lazim terjadi.
Apa yang menyebabkan semua ini? Mengapa lapisan ozon menipis? Inilah yang biasa kita sebut sebagai Global Warming atau pemanasan global. Pemanasan global pada dasarnya merupakan fenomena peningkatan temperatur global dari tahun ke tahun karena terjadinya efek rumah kaca (greenhouse effect) yang disebabkan oleh meningkatnya emisi gas-gas seperti karbondioksida (CO2), metana (CH4), dinitrooksida (N2O) dan CFC sehingga energi matahari terperangkap dalam atmosfer bumi.

amazing consep the skyscraper

There's a bit of controversy going around about Dutch architect MVRDV's design for a residential environment in South Korea. Some people are concerned about the resemblance of MVRDV's "Cloud" to a twin towers explosion.

Yes, it is a 9-11 lookalike but it's not meant to be - it's a cloud - and an ingenious reinvention of the skyscraper using glass and sky and light and sun.

Kawasaki's 2012 ZX-14R Will be the most powerful production motorcycle ever

Kawasaki has released details of its 2012 ZX-14R and the Japanese giant has once again gazumped the competition to retake top spot on the motorcycle horsepower ladder.

No horsepower figures have been released, but the company has stated quite clearly that the 2012 ZX-14R will be the fastest accelerating motorcycle in production and that it has the most powerful production motorcycle engine ever built.

The whole "fastest" thing is now getting beyond a joke, even with the normally squeaky clean integrity Kawasaki applies to its claims. Across its press statements and web sites, Kawasaki is claiming the following for this bike "the World's Most Powerful Sports Bike" (from the press release headline), the "most powerful production motorcycle engine ever" (from the press release), and "the fastest production motorcycle on the planet."

"Venus Flytrap" The Robot that Could Eat bugs

ROBOTS that mimic the Venus flytrap could run on live insects and spiders, snatching and digesting them for fuel. Now two prototypes have been developed that employ smart materials to rapidly ensnare their prey.

Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) catch insects using two specially adapted leaves. When a bug lands it brushes tiny hairs on the surface, triggering the trapping mechanism. The leaves snap shut in a mere 100 milliseconds, and the plant kills and digests its quarry (see diagram).

Recreating this method means finding materials that can not only detect the presence of an insect but also close on it quickly. At Seoul National University in South Korea, Seung-Won Kim and colleagues have done this using shape memory materials. These switch between two stable shapes when subjected to force, heat or an electric current.

Nokia : Nokia Lumia the first Windows Phone smartphone

Nokia Lumia 800

 Windows Phone, especially with its newest update, is a damn fine mobile operating system, but also one lacking a truly killer phone. We were holding out hope that Nokia's first Windows Phone smartphone would be the one to get, and it just might be--the Lumia 800 is the first Windows Phone that's as eye-catching as the OS inside. Nokia also announced the 800's little brother, the 710, which is no slouch either.

Manufacture of Semiconductors Future of the Diamond

 After ages of controlling the international market for natural diamonds, the diamond cartel De Beers is starting to spread its tentacles into Silicon Valley, where the hardest form of carbon is prized for much more than glitter. De Beers is investing heavily in convincing IT pros that lab-grown diamonds — not long ago, the bane of diamond dealers’ existence — are the semiconductor substrate of the future.

During the past several years, a few firms have honed the process of manufacturing synthetic diamonds, using anvil cells to supplant billions of years of crustal compression and building diamond crystals atom-by-atom using chemical vapor deposition. These gemstones appear flawless and are chemically identical to the roughs mined from Africa and other places.

The Last Night The Beautiful Auroras Appeared

If you saw it firsthand then you had no choice but to notice it, but for the rest of us who weren’t so lucky, here’s the deal: yesterday a coronal mass ejection, a.k.a. a CME, a.k.a. a solar storm or a huge burst of solar wind emanating from our sun slammed into our atmosphere at about 2 p.m. EDT. That mass of charged particles compressed Earth’s magnetic field and sparked a pretty intense geomagnetic storm, resulting in what you see here: breathtaking auroras that are usually confined to high latitudes spilled out across North America, reaching as far south as New Mexico and Alabama.

Nintendo the Wii U Console's amazing Controller and Big,Touchscreened.

Nintendo just announced their successor to the revolutionary Wii, to be called the Wii U, at this year's E3 conference in Los Angeles. We've only gotten snippets and tidbits of information, but we do know that the--as in the original Wii--the most important part of the Wii U will be the controller. This time, it's a giant, tablet-like, touchscreened beast that packs an accelerometer, camera, gyroscope, and a full array of Wii buttons.

The Wii U will be a new console, looking something like a beefed-up version of the Wii. We do know it'll be fully HD-ready, unlike the Wii--that means 1080p resolution and (finally) an HDMI-out port. Nintendo says the console will be released sometime between April and December of 2012, and...that's about all we know about the console itself.

race and gender could detected by Iris scanner

IRIS images may soon be able to do more than just verify your identity - they may confirm your race and gender too.

The iris controls the size of the pupil and gives a person's eyes their colour. It grows into a complex and unique pattern as a fetus develops and remains the same throughout a person's life. This fact has been successfully exploited in iris-based biometric systems, which work on the principle that each iris is completely different to any other.

But that is not strictly true, as Kevin Bowyer at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana and his colleagues have found. They have developed a system that can pick out similarities between irises, instead of differences. Initial tests show it can distinguish between people of two different racial backgrounds and shows promise in determining gender.

How to Improve Your Video-Streaming

Your ISP can be slowing your speeds down because it thinks you've used up too much bandwidth. This is common if you are using a mobile broadband connection -- the kind that's provided through a USB stick. Currently Sprint is the only major U.S. mobile operator that doesn't cap. In many places, the data caps are euphemistically called "Fair Use Policies." T-Mobile doesn't cap, but does have "Fair Use" limits.

The stuttering and freezing that can occur when you're streaming video are indicative of issues related to bandwidth. Commercial hosted solutions like Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) and Hulu can suffer from degraded performance.

Rather than simply calling your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and requesting a faster, more expensive pipe, there are some steps you can take first to optimize your existing environment for video streaming.

Step 1 Turn off your modem, router, computer and add-ons, wait a minute, and then turn them all back on starting with the modem, then the router and then the other gear.
Allow the equipment to stabilize by leaving it for a minute or so.

Heartbeat counter with bluetooth

Sports Tracker is now shipping its Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor, a chest-worn unit that pairs with a smartphone app for viewing stats in real-time as well as storing your data on the company website or sharing it with others through social media.

The heart rate monitor works via a Bluetooth belt that you must first wet before wrapping around your chest (under your shirt). Wetting the back of the monitor ensures that the electrodes read your heart rate properly. Once connected, grab your smartphone and choose "settings" and then "heart rate belt" on the Sports Tracker app. Once it finds the heart rate belt, click "connect" and then enter the pin code "0000" to begin tracking data. Once you see your heart rate on your phone, you are ready to go.
