animal's brain

Assalamualaikum Madam...
ANIMAL'S BRAIN..
Brain is the center of the nervous system in animals. All vertebrates, and the majority of invertebrates, have a brain. Some "primitive" animals such as jellyfish and starfish have a decentralized nervous system without a brain, while sponges lack any nervous system at all. In vertebrates animal, the brain was located in the head, were protected by skull and close to the primary sensory apparatus of vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell.

Why are most CNC shape cutting machines so expensive?

Virtually all other manufacturers of industrial CNC shape cutting tables build them to be heavy shop equipment! This is totally unnecessary, as there is no physical contact between the torch and the material being cut.

They also sell CNC plasma cutters through their own sales force, and in turn, through a network of distributors, each with exclusive territories. This need to support a legion of salesmen and middlemen probably doubles again the cost of bringing their machines to market.

The affordable prices of our Torchmate CNC cutting machines is the result of clever (we think) design, integration with your existing personal computer, and Internet marketing, which many large companies have been slow to grasp. Couple computerized processing of shapes with big savings on plasma cutter consumables and your cost per cut piece drops dramatically. Use oxy-fuel for flame cutting thicker steel. The metal art shapes shown here are generally cut using plasma in steel 1/8" or 3/16" thick. The same is true of western art and garden art, which are simply metal art with a theme.

Now small shop owners, metal art enthusiasts, ornamental iron works, wrought iron furniture makers, garden art dealers, street rod chassis builders, and others on limited budgets can afford cnc plasma cutter technology. In many situations, our extruded aluminum Torchmate II with the optional z axis, can function as a cnc router, cnc drill press or cnc milling machine. It won't do the work of a metal lathe or iron worker but will substitute for many other kinds of metal fabrication equipment.

Ultra-portable with digital Quran

PARENTS who want to expose their kids to the Quran early can now do so with the Digital Al-Quran netbook, an ultra-portable computer category product, from FTec Resources Bhd and Intel Electronics (M) Sdn Bhd.

The Digital Al-Quran software, which comes pre-loaded with the FTec SmartBook netbook, is part of Intel’s effort to promote a new usage model for its Atom processor-based netbooks. It has audio recitations of the Quran, full Quran translations into Bahasa Malaysia, English and Arabic, and recorded azan prayers by famous Mu’adzins from Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

With a play-by-play recording of Quran verses, the software also enables children to memorise and recite Quran verses by heart.

Intel Malaysia’s country manager, sales and marketing Ryaz Patel said the company is targeting to sell at least 800 units of the Digital Al-Quran netbook each month until year-end.

“Our strategy is to display the device in high-traffic retail outlets such as Courts Mammoth, TecAsia and FTec outlets. We will also be talking to learning institutions to seek ways for them to adopt the netbook in their curriculum.”

The SmartBook is equipped with a water-resistant keyboard and capable of running various educational software. The model bundled with the Digital Al-Quran software is available from RM1,399.

PS3 hits local stores

he Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) is finally here.

The 80-gigabyte model, which hits shelves at RM1,599, is what Sony calls a “complete entertainment system” comprising a Blu-ray player, high-definition multimedia interface output, integrated Wi-Fi, Cell Broadband Engine and a DualShock 3 wireless controller. All these are designed to appeal to a wide range of consumers, from hardcore gamers to regular entertainment enthusiasts.

And coupled with the optional Blu-ray Disc Remote Control that goes for RM109, the PS3 makes a good and rather affordable Blu-ray player.

The units are being brought in by Sony Malaysia through Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong Ltd, each carrying a price tag of RM1,799 for a bundled package with two games.

In conjunction with the local PS3 launch, Sony Computer Entertainment also launched the PlayStation Asia Web site at http://asia.playstation.com, which will bring more localised content to local PS3 users.

To mark the recent launch of the PS3, Sony Malaysia organised the Longest Video Game Marathon, which kicked off at 10am on the day before the official launch until 10am on the launch day, making an entry into the Malaysian Book of Records as the longest video game challenge held in the country to date.

A total of 120 early-bird customers also walked away with cash vouchers worth between RM150 and RM1,000. The girl who walked away with the RM1,000 cash voucher apparently queued up for 48 hours to be the first to own an official PS3 in the country.

Beautiful of tiger

assalamualikum and good morning.I would like to share about 'tiger'..i know everyone know about the dangerous of tiger.The word 'tiger' is taken from the greek word 'tigris', which is possibly derived from a persian source meaning 'arrow',a reference to the animal's speed and also the origin for the name of the River Tigris.A group of tiger is rare,but when see together is termed a streak or an ambush.Typical tiger country has three main features: It will always have good cover, it will always be close to water and plenty of prey. Compared to the lion, the tiger prefers more dense vegetation, for which its camouflage is ideally suited, and where a single predator is not at a disadvantage compared to a pride. Among the big cats, only the tiger and jaguar are strong swimmer, tigers are often found bathing in ponds, lakes and rivers. Unlike other cats, which tend to avoid water, tigers actively seek it out. During the extream heat of the day, they are often to be found cooling off in pools. Tigers are excellent swimmers, better than the jaguar and can swim up to 4 miles. Tigers are often to be found carrying their dead prey across lakes.

Tigers hunt alone and ambush their prey as other cats do, overpowering them from any angle, using their body size and strength to knock large prey off balance. Even with their great masses, tigers can reach speeds of about 49-65 kilometers per hour (35-40 miles per hour). When hunting large prey, tigers prefer to bite the throat and use their muscled forelimbs to hold onto the prey, bringing it to the ground. Though rarely observed, some tigers have been recorded to kill prey by swiping with their paws, which are powerful enough to smash the skulls of domestic cattle,and break the backs of sloth bears.

In the wild, tigers can leap as high as 5 m (16 ft) and as far as 9–10 m (30–33 ft), making them one of the highest-jumping mammals, just slightly behind cougars in ability.that's all..

the sharks

Amazing fact about sharks. let's read it.Sharks have been studied closely for more than 100 years, mainly because of their low likelihood of contracting disease. Fish with bones have a pretty high rate of growing tumors. For a long time, scientists believed that sharks were immune to cancer and tumors. So what makes sharks different? They don't have bones. Their skeleton is made up entirely of cartilage. This is one reason that shark teeth are collectible -- it's the only fossil you can find from dead sharks. Their cartilage dissolves over time, and nothing is left but the hard-enameled teeth. Many researchers think that this cartilage holds the secret to the cure for some human medical conditions -- namely cancer.that's all.

Safety and Performance of hyper cars.

Salam. let's read this..Safety and Performance of hyper cars.
A lot of auto enthusiasts grimace at the thought of efficiency, while plenty of other people worry that incredibly light vehicles will not do an adequate job of protecting the occupants. Hyper cars are actually better in both aspects than many compact cars on the road today. Although they have small engines, the power-to-weight ratio of a hyper car can be much higher than a heavy car with a V8 engine.
This allows for impressive acceleration, and even more
impressive handling.Nice car nice prices..hihi.

thank you

hype!!

ump...now i staying on that
