Stunning Crystal Opal!

I like looking at the gemstone. It really fascinates me when it comes to color composition. This is my first time seeing a beautiful gemstone that gives you an impression of looking at an aquarium!

beautiful isn't it?

Yes, this is what I’m talking about. This is not a handheld aquarium, but rather a stunning crystal opal. That's right, this beautiful gemstone "features a varied spectrum of colors, but what separates it from the others is its spectacular visual effect. It looks like an underwater view of the ocean floor as light shines through it. There's a surreal quality about the gemstone that looks like a pocket-sized aquarium."  You get it? More photos below…

I Love Physics

Had nothing to do so I did a simple experiment...

Air Clicker

This product has been around since 2011 and I just realized that it really exists! Whoa! I’ve got to have this camera…This is Air Camera, an innovative technology that might just put us a step ahead in terms of simplicity. It strips away all the unnecessary aspects to a digital camera design. It leaves us with a Bluetooth enabled camera lens and a motion-sensor shutter button mounted on two rubber bands. Precious moments are captured with a simple click gesture and the images get transferred to your synced smart phone immediately.


So how does it work? If you want to click pictures, wear the camera band on your thumb and the shutter button on your forefinger and gesture to click a picture. To take videos, simply curve your fingers to mimic a video camera grip and shoot. The tension from the finger movement triggers the shutter button to operate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to the brilliant idea of Yeon Su Kim, the designer behind this brilliant idea, we are able to achieve our childhood dream. Yeay!  

Rarely seen!

What does it look like being on top of the pyramide in egypt? Let's see...

 

 

 



 

Beautiful isn't it!? Acording to Egypt's laws there is a possibility couple of years sentence for climbing on top of the pyramide. These photographer must have some gut to do this kind of thing...and it really worth it!

Internet part 2

Internet

I've been using internet since my teen and to see the development of internet amazes me. Currently, users can connect to the Internet from a variety of devices: smart phones, PC tablets, netbooks, notebooks and ultrabook. I wonder what await us in near future when we can have everything on internet at the end of our fingertips.

Folding for peace

This is a stunning garden in Nagasaki, Japan, as part of a project called ‘folding for peace’, commissioned by the Gardening World Cup. It was completely made up of hand folded flowers and took 15 people two weeks to make.

The message behind the garden is based on a Japanese legend that promises a wish, such as long life recovery from illness or injury, to anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes and so ‘the folding for peace garden is the physical remain of a wish for world peace’, at the same time it shows that you don’t need a high budget to create something beautiful.

This project was designed by Anouk Vogel, a Swiss architect in Amsterdam…cool eh...:) 

Gospel Of St Barnabas

I didn’t realize that tomorrow is Friday, and since this is Lent season there’ll be Station of The Cross in my church(haven’t attend one this year, will do tomorrow…). I couldn’t stop thinking of the most controversial findings last month. One of the hot topics last month, the discovery of “The Gospel of Barnabas”. The re-discovering of this gospel has stirred much controversy around the world. It would rewrite the whole history of the world. Let’s check out the gospel first…

I was keen on to check the validity of the gospel and I found some interesting facts.

1.       The Gospel of Barnabas is promoted as an original Gospel written by the man named Barnabas who it is claimed was a disciple of Jesus. Thus they claim it was written by a Jewish man in the 1st century A.D. who travelled with Jesus. If Barnabas really is the author then it is reasonable to expect that he would be FAMILIAR with the basic facts of Jewish life at this time.

2.       The word (Christ) is the Greek translation for the Hebrew word (Messiah). Both these words when translated into English mean the Anointed One or the Chosen One. This word is not an obscure or rarely used word; on the contrary it is one of the most FAMOUS WORDS IN THE JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN religions. There is no doubt that a religious JEW LIKE BARNABAS would have been very familiar with this word.

3.       At the very start of the Gospel of Barnabas Jesus is called the CHRIST: God has during these past days visited us by his prophet Jesus Christ. However, throughout the gospel Jesus denies being the Messiah: Jesus confessed and said the truth, "I am not the Messiah". How can Jesus BE THE CHRIST AND DENY BEING THE MESSIAH when BOTH WORDS MEAN EXACTLY THE SAME THING? Whoever wrote this book did not know the Greek meaning of the word Christ is Messiah. Barnabas was a Hebrew who lived on the island of Cyprus, a Greek-speaking island, and travelled around the 1st century Greek-speaking world! He was Hebrew and knew Greek and COULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS MISTAKE with such a famous word.

To me, since I believe in science, carbon dating of the gospel is the most definitive answer for the authenticity of the book.

Mammoth dream

Woolly mammoths 'will be brought back to life' by cloning

 

back from the grave...

 

 

SOUTH Korean scientists have revealed plans to clone a WOOLLY MAMMOTH from remains frozen for thousands of years in Siberia.

A research lab led by controversial cloning pioneer Hwang Woo-Suk said it would attempt to implant DNA from the extinct mammal into an elephant egg cell to create a new embryo.

They hope it will lead to the birth of a new baby mammoth for the first time since the prehistoric giants last roamed the earth 10,000 years ago.

Sooam Biotech Research Foundation said today it had signed a deal with Russia's North-Eastern Federal University to cooperate on the project.

Scientists will attempt to "restore" cells taken from mammoth remains that were entombed in ice until they were recently uncovered by the thawing permafrost.

First they must find well-preserved tissues with undamaged genes, such as bone marrow. The next step is to replace the nucleus of an Indian elephant egg cell with the mammoth DNA.

If all goes to plan, test tube embryos will be implanted in an elephant's womb and the first woolly mammoth would be born 22 months later.

Sooam researcher Hwang In-Sung said: "The first and hardest mission is to restore mammoth cells.

"This will be a really tough job, but we believe it is possible because our institute is good at cloning animals."

The lab has successfully cloned living animals including a cow, a cat, dogs, a pig and a wolf, but using ancient DNA from a long-extinct species has never been done.

Hwang Woo-Suk, who created the world's first cloned dog Snuppy in 2005, was a national hero in South Korea until some of his research into creating human stem cells was found in 2006 to have been faked.

He was given a two-year suspended sentence for misuse of research funds and ethical lapses.

But last October Hwang unveiled eight successfully cloned endangered American coyotes.

Sooam said it hoped to complete the restoration of mammoth cells by the end of the year.

Hwang Woo-Suk with Snuppy...

wish to see this come true in my lifetime...
