Math Problems? just be creative!

When I was a student in elementary school, the subjects of the most frightening for most of my friends is the math. I do not know why. Perhaps because many of the numbers and formulas to be in memorized. But to me, math is not too difficult. I just need to learn a little more loudly than others. That way, I can understand math better than my friends.

New Conspiration?

Williardi Wizard gave a daring testimony for the murder case of the director of PT Putra Rajawali Banjaran Nasrudin Zulkarnaen. He realized that being the prized witness his every statement greatly affects the fate of former chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission Antasari Azhar who now sits as the accused in the trial.

Tuesday, he decided to retract all the statements in his police investigation report (BAP) because all of it was engineered by the police investigator. "I say that all the BAP is invalid. The BAP we use dated April 29 and April 30, 2009, and our statement here," said Williardi to start his testimony.

He decided to retract his statement in the BAP because all he said was made up by the investigator, and he only had to sign. Another reason was, the investigator also didn't fulfill his promise to let him go if he complied.

The scenario began when he was picked up one day from his home to the police station at 00.30. That night Williardi was visited and inspected by the Regional Police Research Director, his vice director and there were also Chiefs of the Police Detective Squad.

According to Williardi those high-rank officers asked him to fabricate a BAP to trap Antasari as the main perpetrator of Nasrudin's murder. "At that time the condition was that Antasari set as our was only our target. Then my BAP was synchronized with Sigid's, which was read to me," said Williardi fearlessly.

In his next testimony Williardi mentioned the name of vice-chairman of the Criminal Detective Body Irjen Pol Adiatmoko who also asked him to fabricate a BAP to trap Antasari.

The BAP made by Williardi on April 29-30 was rejected by the investigator because Antasari wasn't implicated. "Just do your best to arrest Mr. Antasari. We guarantee you'd be home by tomorrow. We have the the word of the Chief of National Police that you won't be detained, at worst you'd get an indisciplinary sanction." Williardi quoted the words of Adiatmoko.

Because of the guarantee, Williardi continued, he was willing to sign the BAP forged by the investigator. But, what happened the next day on TV Williardi was accused by the police as one of the murderers of Nasrudin.

He protested to the Criminal Detective Director of the Jakarta Police - Senior Commissioner M. Iriawan who also inspected him. "Where's your promise? Please clarify. I'm not that evil," said Williardi.

Williardi's protest triggered a reaction from his colleague. He was picked up again. Brigadier General Irawan Dahlan came to him and took him to Adiatmoko's office.

Over coffee, he was asked whether he knew Edo, Jerry Hermawan Lo, Antasari Azhar, and Sigid Haryo Wibisono. He was also asked whether he had ever given Rp. 500 millon to Edo from Sigid.

Williardi affirmed to all the questions, without knowing that he was being inspected. On hearing Williardi's confession, Adiatmoko asked his subordinate to detain Williardi at once.

"How come I was arrested for just giving money?" complained Williardi to Adiatmoko. Since then Williardi has been incarcerated. In the trial led by Herri Swantoro, Williardi confessed of being branded 'the traitor' by his colleagues when he protested why he was finally involved in the murder case and detained.

His sharp protest got the cold shoulders from the investigator. "It was a superior's order," he answered when he revealed why he was detained. Curious as to whom he meant by 'superior', Antasari's legal team led by Juniver Girsang asked Williardi whom he meant by superior.

"Speaking of superiors, of course ours is the National Police Chief," he plainly said. Furthermore, the engineering also occured during reconstruction. In a meeting at Sigid's office, the investigator made a scene as if Antasari gave a brown envelope with Nasrudin's photo to Williardi. This was directly denied by Williardi.

"That's not true. We received the envelope directly from Sigid. Without Antasari," explained Williardi. From the start of his testimony, Williardi was daring in revealing what he thought was the truth.

He showed no fear though he was pulling out names of some higher officers. He was also heard several times to have sworn to convince the panel of judges.

Aside from the names above, he also mentioned high officials of the National Police such as Niko Afinta, Tornagogo Sihombing and Daniel. The public prosecutor led by Cirus Sinaga asked for the people mentioned by Williardi to be presented in court.

A Chrome Mercedes

The world may be in a financial crisis but Russia's wealthy set are still ready to spend, spend, spend - or so it seemed at Moscow's latest Millionaire Fair, held in the shadow of the Kremlin. Russia has been hit more than most by the recession, with the country's wealthiest 25 tycoons losing a staggering total of £160 billion in the latest figures from Forbes. Yet ostentatious oligarchs with bottomless wallets, and the many craving for this status, are untroubled about splashing out on the bad taste bling on offer to those with more money than sense.

Fridges wrapped in snake skin. A stretch Hummer with its own pole-dancing stage for the mogul too busy to get to his striptease club, or perhaps stuck in Moscow's choking traffic jams. Coffee tables for £250,000 with woolly mammoth tusks for legs, or armchairs covered in bear skin. It's all available - for the right price.

There are some signs that the recession is hitting - in 2007, a diamond-encrusted Mercedes took centre stage. This year Mercedes downgraded to a mere chrome-covered £300,000 Kamrus SLR 750.

Burly security men prevented access to those without invitations or ready to stump up £30 for entry to see how the top one per cent live two decades after Russia ditched its 'everyone is equal' ideology for rollercoaster capitalism.

Finally, though, with many Russians forced to tighten their belts, the sight of such conspicuous consumption has caused a reaction. There are those, like 29-year-old passer by Igor, who don't seem to know whether to laugh or cry when they see the wealth on display.

He points out: 'The whole world is still in the middle of a crisis. And such a lavish event in the centre of our capital - is that really necessary? 'But in Russia people have always loved glamour and luxury, and they like to show it off.'

If you've got it, flaunt it. And if you haven't, dream that one day you might. As 22-year-old Olga said: 'Just look around here at the high-end real estate, the yachts, the horses over there that cost up to 200,000 euros. 'Here at the Millionaire Fair I can look at it, touch it, feel like I'm part of this luxury world myself.'

But not all are so sanguine. For the first time a politician has stood out against the Millionaire Fair and demanded that his fellow legislators visit it in order to see that the gap between the haves and have nots has gone too far. Sergei Mironov, speaker of the upper house of the Russian parliament, has demanded that oligarchs like Roman Abramovich should pay a luxury tax when they buy new super yachts, famous paintings or even football clubs.

He wants a tax of between one and five per cent on private jets and helicopters, expensive cars, yachts, jewellery, sculptures, and expensive homes bought by Reds-to-Riches moguls. Mironov said the fair proved his point that a luxury tax sting is 'a grounded, up-to-date and fair measure'.

He stressed it 'will not stop the buyers of yachts and fridges wrapped in snake skin' from making their purchases. However, it would show that Russia's 97,000 millionaires and billionaires are putting something back into the hard-hit Russian economy.

Critics say this is unfair since the rich already pay taxes on their income and property, and it would amount to tax on top of tax. Others say it wouldn't hit the really rich who are resident overseas and able to exploit the benefits of offshore havens. Scratch the surface and some exhibitors at this recent high-end extravaganza admit that spending has dropped dramatically.

Bentley and Rolls Royce were absent from the fair, as were Italian-made Agusta helicopters, a favourite prize of Russian oligarchs. 'My overall turnover dropped 40 per cent,' complained Mark Tuck, the head of Paradise Properties, which sells villas in Bali. Half of the group's clientele are Russian.

This year's fair was in a hall a quarter of the size of the previous one. Some exhibitors were putting on a brave face.
'I don't speak about the crisis, I think positive,' a smiling salesgirl said at a stand featuring Swiss-made Zai skis of granite and wood that sell for up to £7,350 a pair.

'Of course the crisis hasn't ended yet, but it's obvious that people are sick of being too cautious,' said a saleswoman for six-figure fur coats 'They want to go out there and treat themselves again, for example. Yes, some might be investing a little less than usual, but they do want to spend money.'

Some still appear to disagree. As the fair ended an opposition political activist jumped on the stage and shouted: 'Go to hell.'

All digital and made all attempts to be associated with computer technology, including equipment test pregnancy (pregnancy test kit) which is often met in our pharmacies.USB Home Pregnancy Test Kit (PTeq) tool is the first digital pregnancy test in the world that can be connected to the computer through a USB connection.

Tools pregnancy test

Tools pregnancy test

How to use almost the same, namely to use a thick piece of paper will be used to retrieve a urine sample (urine) and then insert the snippet into the USB equipment.

Through the software, will be the level of hormones and save all the data into the computer so that you can use the data for analysis if needed.

Actually this tool can also be used for the other hormone level (not for pregnancy test only) but can also as ovulasi know the time.

The results obtained can have any level of accuracy up to 99% and you can buy with a price of US $ 20

Michio Kaku 10 Questions

Theoretical physicist and string theorist Michio Kaku shares his thoughts on time travel, matter-fabricators and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Also, be sure to check out Professor Kaku's latest book, Physics of the Impossible, available from Doubleday.

1. If time machines exist, can we ever hope to meet our older, or younger, selves?
A. That is a big "if." But assuming they exist, then there is hope that we might meet our older or younger selves, but they won't be exactly "us." The river of time, I believe, may fork into two rivers if we travel in time.
Hence, if we jump from one time line to another time line, we may meet ourselves in the past, but these people won't really be "us." They will be genetically identical to us, but will be a younger or older version of ourself in a parallel universe. Hence, we won't have any time paradoxes. So if we change the past, we change someone else's past, who is genetically identical to us, but is not really "us." Of course, we won't know for sure until we finally build a time machine. (In fact, I give a blueprint for a time machine in my book, Physics of the Impossible, which is consistent with all known physics.)

2. Since we haven't ever met any time travelers from the future, does that mean they will never be invented?
A. No. Perhaps we are not interesting to them. We think we are so great that they will want to visit us, but maybe we are too primitive for them. After all, if we see an anthill, do we go down to the ants and say "I bring you beads. I bring you trinkets. Take me to your leader"? Some of us may even have the urge to step on them.
But the technological distance between an ant and us may be small compared to the technological chasm between us and a time-faring civilization. They may be thousands to millions of years ahead of us in technology, and hence have no interest in visiting us. But one day, if someone knocks on your door and says she is your great-great-great-granddaughter, do not slam the door. Perhaps in the far future our descendants will develop time machines, and want to visit their illustrious ancestors.

3. Are fears of robots taking over the world, Terminator-style, ever founded in reality?
A. Yes, robots may eventually take over the world. But we will have plenty of warning. Right now, robots have the intelligence of a cockroach. A retarded, stupid cockroach. Our most advanced robots take about six hours just to walk around a strange room. It may be years to decades before they are as smart as a mouse, then a rabbit, then a dog or cat, and finally a monkey. By the time they have the intelligence of a monkey, they can be dangerous, since they will have agendas of their own. But we will have plenty of warning. By the time they are as smart as a monkey, I think we should put a chip in their brains to turn them off when they have murderous thoughts. The key is that we will have plenty of time before these robot creations become truly sentient and conscious, with their own goals and desires.

4. Would you have your brain "downloaded" into a computer? Could it mean eternal life? Or would it be like being one of the heads in bell jars in Futurama?
A. Living in a bell jar is not my idea of "living." However, in the far future, merging with our robot creations may be a better alternative. In this case, we could have superhuman powers, live forever and explore the universe in near-invulnerable bodies. There is no law of physics preventing this. In fact, if we ever make contact with an advanced civilization in space, we should not be surprised if they have already altered their genetics and biological organs. In fact, I would be surprised if a civilization a million years more advanced than us has not modified their bodies genetically and mechanically. Just to live on distant worlds and harsh environments, they may have to alter their bodies in this way. And also remember that we must leave the Earth in the far future, due to ice ages (perhaps 10,000 years in the future), meteor impacts (perhaps 10 million years in the future) and the death of the sun itself (5 billion years from now). And when we do, it will be absolutely essential that we modify ourselves, or perish. There is no other choice.

5. What is the first thing you would make if you had your own matter-fabricator?
A. Some people may ask for diamonds, gold bullions or truckloads of cash. However, I have never desired to be wealthy. Money does not interest me. I've always wanted something that a replicator can never create: ideas. Wealth is something that corrupts and dies with you. But ideas can live forever and change the world.

6. Are there any TV series or films that you feel got it right in terms of portraying the future, or time travel?
A. The movie 2001 was off in terms of a timetable by perhaps a century, but it was the most realistic portrayal of an encounter with an extraterrestrial civilization. An advanced civilization is not going to send Capt. Kirk in a huge, expensive star ship. This is inefficient. More likely, they will send robot probes, which land on distant moons. (Moons are stable over billions of years.) They will then create a robot factory capable of reproducing themselves by the millions. Then they will shoot off to distant moons, and create even more robot factories. Starting with just one robot, eventually there is a sphere of trillions of these robots, expanding at near the speed of light, exploring the galaxy. This may sound fantastic, but it is happening in your body.
This probe can be a virus, which can colonize trillions of your cells in a matter of two weeks, giving you a cold. In the same way, these robot probes can explore the entire galaxy in just 100,000 years. Then they will wait until an intelligent species rises from the primeval swamp. This is the basic plot line behind 2001, the most realistic encounter with ET.
In fact, Kubrick originally interviewed scientists for the beginning of his movie, explaining all of this. But then he cut these interviews from his film at the last minute.

7. What was your homemade atom-crasher made from?
A. When I was 16, I went to Westinghouse, got 22 miles of copper wire and 400 pounds of transformer steel, and built a 2.3 million-electron-volt atom smasher in my mom's garage. The magnets produced 10,000 gauss of magnetism (which is enough to pull the fillings out of your teeth if you get too close). When I plugged it in, it consumed 6,000 watts of power, so I blew out all the circuit breakers in the house. My mom would ask herself, "why couldn't I have a kid who plays basketball? or baseball?" But I never regretted building an atom smasher, because it helped me to get a scholarship to Harvard, where I could fulfill my dreams.

8. Can you summarize The Theory of Everything?
A. All physical knowledge today can be summarized in two theories: the quantum theory (which describes electricity and magnetism and the nuclear forces) and relativity (which describes gravity). The quantum theory describes the world of the very small inside the atom, while relativity describes the world of the very large (e.g. expanding universes and black holes).
The Theory of Everything should unite these two theories into a single, coherent theory. Einstein spent 30 years of his life chasing after this theory, which would allow him to "read the Mind of God," but he failed. Today, our best (and only) candidate is called string theory, which is what I do for a living.
And this summer, the Large Hadron Collider (the largest atom smasher in the world) will be turned on, and we hope to test the periphery of this theory. If proven correct, it will be the crowning achievement of 2,000 years of science, ever since the Greeks asked the question, what is the world made of?

9. Do you feel the knowledge that you've gathered through the years has allowed you to see the world differently from when you were, say, a college student?
A. Yes. When I was a kid, I used to read a lot of science fiction. I used to wonder about time travel, parallel universes, anti-matter, the fourth dimension, etc. But eventually, I realized that I would wind up as a crackpot, always babbling about pseudo-scientific theories, unless I got serious and "paid my dues," i.e., unless I learned the most advanced mathematics and physics. Today, after years of doing research on the most advanced physics in the world, I know the precise boundary where advanced physics ends and science fiction ends. That's one reason I wrote the book, Physics of the Impossible, so that I could tell young people whether certain technologies were possible in the future or not.

10. How does the rest of the world view the U.S.'s take on science?
A. Let's put politics aside and just talk about science. I do a lot of lecturing around the world, and wherever I go, I am surprised that people admire and envy the science created in the U.S. It's surprising to me, since the U.S. has the worst educational system known to science. U.S. kids score near the very bottom in almost every math and physics exam. So why doesn't the U.S. collapse as a technological nation? The U.S. does a miserable job in educating the average student, but the U.S. has two secret weapons that other nations don't have. The first is the H1B visa (the genius visa), which puts high-tech immigrants on the fast track right to a green card and Silicon Valley, where they go on to create entirely new industries. Fifty percent of Silicon Valley is actually foreign born. This is the brain drain. The second is that our education system selects out the exceptional student. In the East, there is the expression, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down." In the U.S., we have the expression, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." The U.S. educational system does nurture exceptional, creative talent, which is the weak spot in many Asian societies.
