facts about the brain



Scientists revealed that the human brain functions much like the Internet or a network of friends. In addition, scientists also found that the human brain is like a complex interaction network.
Scientists using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to study the human brain activity and determine the difference in every part of the brain are connected. The researchers conclude, the human brain can be visualized as jarigan complex interactions that depend on the called node to efficiently carry information.
The study found, "Property 'small world' is enable efficient connectivity," said Dante Chialvo psychologists from Northwestern University.
Other networks, social and biochemistry, was known to also depend on similar principles.
After measuring the degree of correlation between the activity of tens of thousands of areas of the brain, scientists are finding, many nodes have few connections. In addition, scientists also found, only a few nodes connected to one another.
'Connections super' node is acting as a liaison as the Internet to disseminate information. So, "If you can understand the workings of the Internet, you can understand the workings of the brain," Chialvo said.
Scientifically, the findings of the basic principles of brain function is indicated, "the fundamental properties of the brain can be understood through the network."
The results of this research is expected to help research on schizophrenia, Alzheimer's and other chronic illness. The results of this research was published in the journal Physical Review Letters.

habits that can damage the brain

The brain is a vital organ which is the controlling center of the central nervous system. Brain organize and coordinated most of the movement, behavior and homeostatic body functions such as heartbeat, blood pressure, body fluid balance and body temperature.
The brain is also responsible for functions such as recognition, emotion. memory, motor learning and all other forms of learning. It is indeed a very complex task and many. So, avoid bad habits under 10 if you still want your brain to work properly. 






1. No breakfast Those who traditionally do not eat breakfast have lower blood sugar levels. As a result supply of nutrients to the brain becomes less. The brain also needs "to eat" in order to work optimally. 


2. Eat too much Too much to eat, let alone a high-fat, can lead to hardening of blood vessels in the brain because of accumulation of fat in the blood vessel wall. As a result the ability of the brain will decrease. 


3. Smoke Toxic chemicals in cigarettes are inhaled, such as carbon monoxide, will hinder the ability of blood to carry oxygen throughout the body including the brain, causing rapid shrinkage of the brain. Nicotine also may reduce levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and raise levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) in blood. Consequently, disrupted transport fat to clog blood vessels and block the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the brain. Smoking also can lead to Alzheimer's disease. 




4. Consuming too much sugar Consumption of too much sugar can also cause disruption of the absorption of proteins and nutrients. As a result, nutritional imbalances that would interfere with brain development 


5. Inhaling polluted air The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain so it can reduce the efficiency or power of the brain. 


6. Sleep deprivation The brain needs sleep as a time to rest and recover her abilities. Lack of sleep for a long time will accelerate the damage to brain cells. 


7. Head covered while sleeping The habit of sleeping with closed head can increase the concentration of carbon dioxide resulting in lower oxygen process that can lead to brain damaging effects. 


8. Less stimulate the mind Thinking is the best way to train our brain. Lack of stimulation in the brain can reduce working capacity of nerve cells, causing brain mengkerutnya brain. 


9. rarely communicates Communication is needed as one means accelerate the ability of the brain. Communicate intellectual work can trigger optimal brain function. Rare intellectual ability to communicate will cause the brain to be less well trained. 


10. Think hard when sick Working too hard or push for the use of mind when the pain can cause excessive fatigue on the brain and reduce the effectiveness of its work so that it can damage the brain.

cracking sound

Many people consider the sound of creaking joints was associated with less favorable and believe the sound was caused by the bones that rub against each other. Actually cracking sound is not caused by the friction of bones, but by the gas between the joints.
 



Our joints contain something called synovial, which helps lubricate joints. Synovial fluid contains the gases oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. Research shows that when cracking a joint, you keep her bones, and the capsule surrounding the joint that was stretched. This causes the synovial fluid spraying from one side to the other books. Liquids that this move creates an empty space, which quickly filled with gas again. This rapid movement of gas that gave rise to the sound of pop. To return crack knuckle same time, you have to wait until the gas back into the synovial fluid. That is why, we can not menderakkan same knuckle twice turur quick succession.

how to save fuel on the motorcycle


1. Increasing the compression engine

One thing to remember the higher the compression the engine, fuel combustion in the engine combustion chamber and more perfect. If that happens then the amount of fuel required is also less and less. But this does not mean having to cut the piston cylinder head, but enough to reduce the thickness of the packing or using a piston with a higher dome.

2. Adjust valve

Another step that is not important is to regulate the valve position. One thing to remember, not to position the valve is too loose or too tight. Because when that happens will result in sluggish motor power.

How to measure the position of the valve which is fitted with attractive gas if with a little pull of power is enough to feel mean position of the valve has been fitted. With a position like that, then the intake of fuel required is also not too much. Because every time we pulled tight gas for motor racing, it was also running too much fuel.

3. Service carburetor or injector
 
Service is not just clean the gasoline nozzle or channel of debris. There should also reset the buoy position and air screw. This is important, the article of the carburetor is a device for supplying fuel into the engine combustion chamber.

When the buoy position is not correct, or carburetor dirty then the supply also faltered. Every time we pull in for gas in the motor-not faltered, at the same intake of aspirated fuel combustion chamber is also getting bigger.

Similarly, if the motor has been using injector devices as a means of carburetion fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber. Set or reset the fuel pump, clean the device was. The more smoothly the fuel spray, the more efficient fuel consumption as well.

Not only that. The accuracy of the fuel intake of internal combustion engines also make it more perfect. With perfect combustion, the power generated is also more perfect. About the amount of power it varies.

4. Replace or clean spark plug
 
As is known, the spark plug is a device to ignite a fire or sparking a fire that is needed in the combustion process. When spark plugs fire imperfect or failed sprinkle with a good fire, there will be failed fuel.

Each time the spark occurred and failed to burn, that's when a lot of fuel burned in vain. As a result, the amount of fuel consumed even greater.

Because of that, we recommend cleaning the spark plugs on a regular basis and adjust the density between the axis of the spark plug with spark plug head (which is at the base of the spark plugs). When the spark plug is not feasible it should be replaced, it's better than the extravagant cost of fuel once every day.

5. Pay attention to the position of the brake canvas

Known Unnoticed and motorcycle owners, mechanics accidentally installing canvas with brakes that are too tightly with brake shoes. As a result, between two objects that seemed to stick or makes the motor in the braking position.

Due to such positions, then the energy required to drive motors are also getting bigger. Because the motor in the braking position, but the driver pulled the gas lever hard. As a result, the supply of fuel needed is also more and more machines, the motor becomes wasteful.

6. Change driving style

Without realizing the riders often menggeber bike in high speed and then suddenly the brakes on a drive alias in speed is not constant.

Did you know that menggeber motor braking and then immediately step on the gas makes the fuel intake will be higher?

Similarly, the habit of pulling the gas out loud repeatedly (sailed lay language.) It needs to be avoided, the article every time you pull the gas, at the same intake of fuel into the combustion chamber is also getting bigger. Another wrong way to avoid clutch slippage is often played.

Perform the pull of the gas is slowly and constantly when trying to increase the motor acceleration. Position the gear in the right position according to speed and engine speed when the motor runs.

Also avoid the use of accessory heavy weight and do not need or do not have important functions. Because, increasingly heavy burden of the motor power required to drive motors are also getting bigger. The greater the energy required means, the greater the fuel consumption.Simak

seven pain that should not be underestimated

Do not underestimate if your body feels pain. Pain is the body's way to tell us that something is not right. Especially if you suffered pain following seven:
1. Chest pain
If you feel chest pain, likely was associated with shortness of breath and heart attack symptoms.
2. Severe headache
The possibility could be a migraine attack. But if not accompanied by other symptoms of migraine, severe headache is a brain aneurysm signal. If left it can cause brain damage within minutes.
3. Throbbing tooth
Most likely the tooth nerve is damaged, possibly because the pearl-white enamel around the crack or rot. But also beware of possible attacks by bacteria in the mouth that can attack the nerves. If left unchecked, it could spread throughout the body and infection.
4. Pain in the side of the body
This could be a sign of sprain. But if you feel as if attacking the right side of the body's pain accompanied by nausea and fever, this could be a sign of appendicitis or for women is a symptom of ovarian cysts.
5. Flatulence
Often experience abdominal bloating. It may be that this is not the usual symptoms of gastrointestinal illness. He could be a sign of ovarian cancer. So beware if bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, and difficult to eat there almost every day for more than two or three weeks.
6. Frequent tingling in fingers
If you are easily experience tingling, this possibility is a sign of spinal cord suppressed by bearing bone. If the pain often occurs, you risk permanent nerve damage.
7. Leg pain accompanied by swelling
Your calf pain in one location, look puffy, and red or warm to the touch. This may be a sign you are suffering from exposure deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), commonly known as frozen blood. If this blood clot can be left up to the lungs and hold supali oxygen to the body and very fatal consequences!

indoor gardening


Dark, sultry, humid, crowded house will feel if we do not have sufficient openings. When the vent, window and door penghawaan deemed insufficient and good lighting, can be made ​​space with openings in the roof at home. This space is usually called patio, which is placed in the center, edge, or back home.
this is The following indoor gardening tips check it out :D

     * Patio can be arranged into a garden filled with plants, or a dry garden with rocks as a filling element.
     * Select plants that do not require too much sun and easy maintenance. For example anthurium, palms, pandanus bali, etc..
     * Some plants in pots are arranged in such a way based on the composition and placement of the right, could be an option patio filler
     * In addition to cultivated plants, the patio can also be decorated with various kinds of natural stones like sandstone, coral and stone temples.
     * To create a freshness and coolness, add a water element in the form of pond and fountain.
     * If it is not possible to plant live plants on the patio, can be put artificial plants
     * To keep the house get good lighting but it does not rain, give the roof hood made ​​of transparent material or glass tile.
     * It could also leave the roof open but fitted with a permanent trellis or open the lid with a hinge. Cover again with mosquito netting to prevent entry of mosquitoes as well as breaking rainfall.

tips to organize garden

Each building must have an inch of vacant land. This small land will determine your home to add beauty. Display a park certainly did not depend on the size and area of ​​land. When done with care and a mature design, a small garden can beautify homes overall. There are various ways for small garden seem adorable and admirable. Having a small garden at home is highly recommended because in addition to beautify the face of the house will also be very good for the health and psychological.Three points to consider in laying out the park are: 
First, if we have limited land (narrow) one of the formula is not going to have a desire to move other people into the park park itself. This is because people tend to want to have what he had owned a neighbor or someone else. Because we have limited land, make a small garden with various species of plants that are also small (dwarf) and it is to achieve a balanced proportion between the park with the facade of our house.
Second, what about the direction of sunlight, this will affect the lighting conditions with a choice of garden plants. If the park does not get enough sunlight, it can choose the type of plants that like shade (not really need the sun). The direction of circulation is very important because the sun affects the photosynthetic process in plants in our garden.
Third, soil conditions and water absorption. To produce a good garden, it needs a fertile soil conditions. Land classified as fertile if humusnya high levels, making them easier to absorb water. For large cities, usually less fertile soil conditions for the necessary treatment before menbuat park. Namely by mixing the soil with manure or compost.
To arrange the small garden, there are two important elements that determine the soft (soft material) and hard elements (hard material).
Elements of this software consists of what types of plants are we going to plant. Do plant shrubs, vines (flower telang, Alamanda cathartica), TAMANAN shade, flowering plants and cover crops (such as purslane, blue eyes, onion-bawangan or grass). Noteworthy is the proportion between TAMANAN low to high yanga plant, that looks interesting.
Water also include software elements which we often present in the park. Akali to our limited land by making a small pond with a mini waterfall in the wall that has been transformed with garden rocks form cliffs. This cliff park other than for aesthetic reasons also serves to hide the massive parapet house and slippery. In addition, as a way out if the soil conditions in our homes is very arid and less fertile.
The presence of ponds with a continuous flow of water will add to the atmosphere of cool garden. To facilitate the circulation of water required automatic water pump so that water circulation is maintained. Gurgling sound of water will add to the atmosphere calm and quiet. To further highlight the natural feel, is better equipped with water plants or with a special urn. Aquatic plants such as lotus, water lettuce or poppy-apu will be able to release the hard impression that displayed by the rocks. To avoid a mosquito nest is better maintained as well as some fish are placed in the pool.
While the hard elements consist of rocks, which are often used as a supporter of the beauty of the park. This natural stone slab with the composition of irregular form can serve as a trail and will add a natural impression. Park did not always have a path, but it serves as a circulation path that allows us to explore the entire park without stepping on grass or soil. There are different types of natural stone selection offered in the market, just adapted to our tastes and pockets. The beauty of small garden more complete if coupled with an aesthetic sculpture as ornament and garden lights. In addition to the lighting, this lamp will make the park look dramatic at night. Aesthetic ornaments such as jars would also make small garden look more attractive.
