Coal Power Plant Causes Blamed Mercury In Fish

HAWAII - The team of researchers from the University of Michigan and the University of Hawaii say they have solved the mystery of how mercury get into fish's body, and to remind people to limit their consumption of fish.

According to the researchers, emissions from coal-fired power plants in China and India are likely to be sources of mercury are found in several species of fish in the Pacific Ocean.

Mercury can affect the human central nervous system, heart and immune system.

The discovery has prompted Professor Joel Blum of the University of Michigan to urge the limitation of certain types of fish consumption to twice a week. "People can minimize their exposure to mercury intake by limiting the amount of certain types of fish, such as swordfish (swordfish), tuna and tilefish which has the highest mercury," said Professor Blum.

Professor Blum predicts the level of toxins in the Pacific Ocean fish will increase in the coming decades unless global mercury emissions reduced.

He said that, while the reduced emissions of some countries, in other countries increased. "In China and India where coal use them up quickly and share their global mercury emissions have increased, compared to other countries or other continents such as North America and Europe, which have actually reduces mercury.

Scientists Create Miniature Tim Human Brain

So far, the human brain is known as the most complex structure in the universe . However , some researchers from the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology at the Academy of Sciences , Austria , managed to create a miniature human brain in the lab .
According to BBC news station , August 30, 2013 , a brain structure that is created by the neurologist was successfully grown by the size of beans , or the size of a nine- week -old fetus . However , the brain does not have the ability to think .
The researchers hope the creation of one man 's vital organs may provide a new understanding of neurological disorders , or impaired human nervous system .
" Currently we are still in the early stages of development in reproducing human organs in the laboratory , " said Dr. Juergen Knoblich , one of the researchers involved .
To create a miniature human brain researchers using embryonic stem cells and adult skin cells . Then , the cells that develop into the brain and spinal cord .
" Although the brain is far from perfect , but the brain will continue to grow as the baby's brain development was nine weeks . Maximum size of the brain about 4 millimeters , or about 0.1 inches , " says Knoblich .
Knoblich also said that the brain is able to survive until almost a year , but the size is not larger. It happens because there is no blood supply to the brain tissue , so that the nutrients and oxygen does not enter into the structure of the brain .
" But the main thing is we want to how the development of the human brain and learn what causes defects in the nervous system , " says Knoblich .
Professor Paul Matthews , from Imperial College London , UK , this study is very interesting and remarkable , because the study of mental and emotional man from his brain .
" We now know the human brain can be created from human skin cells . Though only the size of a pea , but it has a shape . Now we can study and understand the human cerebellum in the brain when a human disorder aged adults , " said Matthews .

The Rampant Theft of Digital Money

In addition to Android virus rampant , a new security trends are most pronounced in the second quarter is the amount of theft against Bitcoin digital currency .
Bitcoin is a digital currency itself is built on the infrastructure of friends ( peer - to- peer ) , and is designed for financial transactions anonymous and decentralized .
Transactions done on the server , called Bitcoin miners , who used to do the exchange and processing of Bitcoin .
This infrastructure relies on a network of computers that are connected and act as a resource that allows Bitcoin miners to work .
This virtual money can be converted into another currency or can also be used to pay for goods and services in the online store ( digital currency bitcoin as represented using the letter ' b ' little while Bitcoin infrastructure using the letter ' B ' huge ) .
Bitcoin value increased sharply in recent years . Previously , one bitcoin unit equivalent of less than USD 1 cent , but now value equivalent to approximately USD 130 .
Although the level of volatile currency Bitcoin , the currency continues to rise steadily . Popularity, anonymity , and the increasing value of Bitcoin is the main attraction for cyber criminals to target Bitcoin aggressively .
In addition, the Bitcoin be the currency of choice for cyber criminals to do business because bitcoin is very anonymous , have a safe transaction process , and does not have procedures or regulatory requirements as well as financial undanganan , making it difficult to trace.
Well , because they profit and popularity that makes the cyber criminals begin to look Bitcoin . What's more some time ago an attack on digital currency that is becoming more frequent . Such as in the information received from the Sunday ( 25/08/2013 ) .
In April , Kaspersky Lab's research team claims to find catch the cyber criminals who use Skype to distribute malware that targeted Bitcoin mining .

The next month , security experts Kaspersky Lab identifies other malicious activities related Bitcoin , namely Brazil phishing attacks .
Similarly, the use of Skype to infect computers , cyber criminals rely on social engineering to infect the victim , but this time using email phishing perpetrators to redirect users to a fake version of one of the famous Bitcoin trading site , MtGox .
MtGox handle a large number of official transactions , so the purpose of this activity is to trick users into providing their login credentials , which allow the perpetrators to steal Bitcoin directly from the user account .

41% Online Fraud Victims Fail Behind Capital

Various acts of criminals on the internet most of the edges definitely want to seek financial gain . Ironically , for the victims , it is difficult to get back the coffers that have been drained by the perpetrator .
Based on Survey of Consumer Kaspersky Security Risks , a global study conducted by B2B International and Kaspersky Lab June September 2013 , as many as 41 % of computer users lose money due to cyber fraud and failing to get their money back .
" In theory , even if the fraudster managed to steal money from bank account electronically ( e - banking ) or electronic payment ( e - payment) , the missing money could be returned by the bank or through legal channels , " said Kasepersky .
However , B2B International surveys show that there is no guarantee that the user can get back the money completely . Of all users are losing money online , only 45 % who managed to get their money back in full .
The rest managed to get back some of their money ( 14 % ) but 41 % were unable to get their money back a dime .
According to 33 % of respondents victims of online fraud , money back if you lost them hard during electronic payments . Some 17 % of respondents lose money when conducting electronic banking transactions , and 13 % of respondents who lost money are customers shop online .
Bank and shop online more frequently reimburse the customer , rather than the electronic payment system . In general , only 12% of online customers and 15 % of bank customers who receive full compensation for the loss of their money due to malicious attacks .
" One in ten respondents were lucky to get their money back in full , " said Kaspersky .
At the same time , many users are still convinced that the owner of online services provide adequate protection for transactions conducted .
B2B International survey results show that 45 % of respondents believe that banks are responsible for returning their lost money when doing transactions and 42 % of respondents said banks should provide free security tools to protect customer money transfers .
According to Kaspersky , it creates conditions that are interrelated : the cyber criminals kissed opportunities to make profits , and increase their efforts to steal the user , while the user is entrusted to the bank's security measures , electronic payments services , and online stores .
But both banks , electronic payment services , as well as online stores are not always able to provide the level of protection needed , either for technical reasons or other reasons .
" It is increasingly attracting the interest of cyber criminals to target financial transactions . Fortunately , there are safe ways to transact online , " Internet security firm said the Russian .
