Facts! The people of Saudi Arabia Worshiping Moon and Not GOD
Ulema of Saudi Arabia Supports astronomer who doubted Hilal Ramadan
A number of conservative clerics support Saudi Arabian astronomer and scientist named Khaled Al-Zaaq the dubious testimony of citizens who see the Shawwal crescent seen on 29 Ramadan 29 (August 29).
Having confirmed the truth of the testimony of the people, the committee hilal Saudi Arabia declared the end of the fasting month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr marks the emergence of the next day (Tuesday, 30 / 8).
Such support comes in the middle of a debate among Islamic scholars and astronomers about the possibility of sighting the moon on August 29.
According to the Islamic calendar, the months can be either Arabs 29 or 30 days at the latest.
On many occasions, Eid al-Fitr was celebrated after only 29 days of fasting.
However, this year's hot debate changed after Al-Zaaq widely quoted by local press and electronic sites that mention there is no way to see the crescent moon on the night of 29th Ramadan.
A number of astronomers Arabia has issued a press statement stating that the month can not be seen. But, the famous Islamic scholars who defended the testimony of those who saw the moon and say Eid al-Fitr comes at the right time.
Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al-Asheikh in last week's Friday sermon at the mosque of Imam Turkey Bin Abdullah in Riyadh describe people who doubt the moon seen as people who want to distort the residents with a dirty mouth.
Holiday! Nias and the World Heritage Status
Not many people realize that 16 November is the day of the World Heritage Conference. In this regard, the government adds to the long list of proposals to the Unesco world heritage status. In his press conference, Minister of Education and Culture, Muhammad Nuh said Indonesia proposed three proposals that the world's cultural status Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Noken crafts from Papua and the three guardians of Balinese dance that dance, dance bebali, and dance-balihan balih.
The proposal will be the talk of the government of Indonesia to UNESCO's meeting next year. Unfortunately no details of how to advance similar proposals have been submitted the previous year. So we do not know whether custom homes (Omo Sebua) will soon get the status as a world heritage.
Before the announcement was already there are 27 proposed world heritage site of Indonesia to the world's highest cultural institution. Traditional Village Bawomatoluo including one proposal. If the proposal is granted, then it becomes part of the world's wealth. Meaning of the object, such as Borobudur gets world heritage fund.
This is not a new program. The General Conference of Unesco has started on 16 November 1972. Since then many many special places such as forests, mountains, lakes, desert, building, complex, or city proposed to obtain the status of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.
At this time, in Indonesia there are seven World Heritage sites that are recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) or the Organization of Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, including the Komodo National Park, East Nusa Tenggara (recognized in the year 1991), Ujung Kulon National Park, WA (recognized in 1991), Lorentz National Park, Papua (recognized in 1999), Tropical Rainforest of Sumatra, which consists of the Gunung Leuser National Park, Kerinci Seblat, Bukit Barisan (recognized in the year 2004), Borobudur (recognized in 1991), Prambanan Temple (admitted in 1991), and Ancient Human Sangiran Site (recognized in 1991).
Of course not all the proposals passed. Therefore need the support to pass any proposal. Bawomatoluo himself had won support from the Japanese government. It was announced at the meeting of Minister of Culture of Asia and Europe in the Asia-Europe Culture Ministers Meeting (ASEM) 4th at 9 to 10 September 2010 in Poznan, Poland. A total of 40 delegates from countries in Asia and Europe attended.
That status would be the hope of many parties in South Nias. Omo Sebua now in a miserable condition, according to an expert team of researchers combined several universities in Japan and UGM are now working there, very critical. If you want to menyelematkannya must be dismantled and dibangunulang.
"To fix the little things it takes tens of millions of dollars," said Mo. "arota Wau, or Ama Ana, manager of the old house that stood more than three hundred years ago.
Not many people bother on that condition. Some time ago the roof collapsed Sebua Omo. Until the fourth day of the South Nias Government did not also perform meaningful actions. That is a consciousness of obligation to maintain our cultural heritage. Not just the people of Nias, but also all citizens of this nation.
Unesco fund is not unlimited. To get away and get world heritage status of many that must be prepared. Not only the people who must prepare ourselves, local authorities and central government must also demonstrate its seriousness.
When finally Unesco refused, Omo Sebua care obligations remain. We inevitably have to rely on our own shoulders instead of other nations helping hand. Perhaps we see the seriousness Unesco first before determining its decision. Increasingly we ambai the Omo Sebua, increasingly distant world heritage status.
Technology! Lasers for anti-riot weapons
British police will conduct trials of a laser weapon intended to make people temporarily blind.
The weapon was named SMU 100 worth of Euro 25,000 and can fire three-meter high wall of light can make people trapped inside could not see for some time.

If the stun guns are considered capable of handling mass from close range, then the laser weapon is called the effective up to a distance of 500 meters.
approval of Home Affairs
Paul Kerr is the executive director of Photonic security company, which makes this weapon design said,
"This system will give police an intimidating visual deterrent. If you can not see then you can not attack.
Although the effects of temporary blindness, but part of this trial are also looking for other side effects.
If everything runs smoothly then the tool must wait for approval from the Ministry of the Interior to be used officially.
This is not the first laser is used to temporarily blind people.
A similar tool is used British and American troops in Afghanistan to protect the convoy from attack.
