Not all lakes have fresh water and shelter can be a living creature, such as the deadly lake located in Tanzania, East Africa. In the lake is called Lake Natron, all animals were submerged in the lake water will turn to stone. This happens due to the lake temperature can rise to 60 degrees at any time, as well as high alkalinity due to the accumulation of volcanic ash from the Great Rift Valley. Photographer Nick Brandt came to the site, to document the victims of the lake as dead birds and small animals that have been petrified because of calcification.

PHOTOS: Frogs Fall of Spacecraft
Frog seen hovering near the spaceship United States Space Agency (NASA) has just been launched to the Moon. Conditions that gave rise to the assumption that NASA will send frogs into space.The Christian Science Monitor launched, an unknown frog species was caught on camera shortly after NASA spacecraft named LADEE takeoff at Pad 0B at Wallops Island, Virginia, U.S.."We do not know from where the frogs," said a NASA official, responding to a growing issue that NASA is planning to send a frog to the Moon.NASA said that the frogs were likely in a pool of water around the foundation (launchpad) when the aircraft was launched. The pool was deliberately made to avoid damage to NASA Pad due to heat from the rocket blast.NASA confirmed, the frog in the photo was not a joke and it is true. Unfortunately, the space agency declined to comment on plans to send a frog in mission LADEE launch spacecraft to the moon, which cost U.S. $ 263 million, equivalent to Rp2, 9 trillion.In a statement, NASA confirmed that the frogs actually being in one of the picture frames in the camera remotely while documenting LADEE space shuttle launch."Currently we do not know the exact condition of the frog," NASA said in a statement.Occurrence of events in the frog spacecraft was not the first time that happened. Four years ago, a bat was burnt alive in the space shuttle Discovery.Based on identification, bat was sleeping in the aircraft's fuel tanks before takeoff.
Earth Life Originated from Comet Collision?
The team of researchers from the University of Kent, UK, found that comet collisions with planets and moons in the past produced mahadahsyat explosion, which creates the essential ingredients for the elements of life. Then, the material was spread throughout the solar system.According to Mark Price, space researcher at the University of Kent, the implication is the importance of the collision-producing precursor compounds that participate in the chemical reaction that produces another compound-which supports life and spread it somewhere."During this time, the comet is known to have organic compounds. And scientists have long said that the comet that helped bring the ingredients to form the beginning of life on Earth," said Price, reported by Fox News, Wednesday, September 18, 2013.This finding, Price continued, based on the results of detection of ammonia in Comet Halley compounds that contain amino acid precursor protein and basic components.Similar amino compounds has also been found in samples of comet 81P/Wild-2 collected by NASA's Stardust spacecraft."The impact of comet collisions in the entire solar system with many craters on the planet's surface. Comet collision was fast and produces very high temperatures. Was that cause chemical changes," said Price.Then, a team of researchers conducted a test firing steel projectiles that are mixed by existing materials dikomet with a speed of 16,000 miles per hour into a container containing a mixture of carbon dioxide, ammonia, and methanol, the temperature of minus 80 degrees Celsius."As a result, we created a new compound in the form of some types of amino acid and L-alanine, an important component of proteins that exist on Earth," said Price."Indeed, the results have not created life, but it was close. Thing we want to prove it is a process of creation of new molecules at the birth of the solar system a comet collision," added Price.

Book Worms? Medieval Tomes Hold Surprising Fossil Record
A smattering of white spots found among the ink in medieval books aren't just printing errors — they're actually an amazingly detailed "fossil" record of European beetles, new research finds.
The dots represent spots, or wormholes, where hatching beetleschewed their way out of the woodblocks used to print art and illustrations between the 1400s and 1800s.
This literary record reveals that two species that now overlap inWestern Europe once kept their distance from each other along the entire continent. Without evidence of the wormholes, this history would have been impossible to discern, said study researcher Blair Hedges, a biologist at Pennsylvania State University.
"All of these findings about the distribution were from the wormholes," Hedges told LiveScience. "There were no specimens in jars or, in this case, pinned or anything. There was just no information that we had."
Biological bookworms
European printers started using woodcuts, or carved wood blocks, to produce printed illustrations in the 1400s. (By then, that craft was already centuries-old in Japan and other parts of Asia.) Hardwood with a fine grain was typically used for the carved blocks, which would then be inked like rubber stamps to produce an image on paper or fabric.
Unfortunately for bookmakers but luckily for modern biologists, hardwoods such as box, pear or apple are a favorite of certain species of beetle, which leaves its larvae in the wood to pupate. Once the larvae grow into beetles, they gnaw their way out, leaving distinctive round holes that vary in size depending on the species. [See images of the damaged woodcuts]
Such was the fate of many a woodcut left in storage. Between the first edition and later printings, more and more round white dots would appear in books, Hedges said, corresponding with the beetle infestation of the woodcut. These proliferating marks provide a sort of non-stone fossil record of where beetles lived at any given time.
"It's very hard to get that kind of detailed information," Hedges said. "These are about the best fossils you could ever hope to find, and that is fossils with exact dates, like 1498, in exact locations, like Paris or Amsterdam."
Fossil record, in print
By surveying medieval tomes in library collections and in online high-resolution digital archives, Hedges was able to measure the white spots. In 473 prints dating from 1462 to 1899, he found thousands of spots, including 3,263 perfectly round holes created when beetles exited the wood block and 318 meandering "tracks" created as beetles chewed their way along the wood grain. This kind of left-behind evidence of living organisms is called trace fossils.
In books printed in northern cities such as London, the holes tended to be small, averaging about 0.06 inches (1.44 millimeters) across. In southern European cities, they were larger, averaging about 0.09 inches (2.3 mm) across. Distinctive tracks also gave away southern species.
These measurements reveal that in the north, the woodcut-chewer was the common furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum). In the south, the Mediterranean furniture beetle (Oligomerus ptilinoides) was the culprit. Surprisingly, the two never met. They stayed on either side of a line that cut across France, hugged the border between Switzerland and Germany and then followed the boundary between Italy and Austria.
"There was no gap in between," Hedges said. "They literally came right up to each other, certainly within miles. I could not find any evidence that they overlapped."
That sort of boundary is very unusual in species distribution, he said. Because climate varied over those 500 years, the stable border between northern and southern species probably had to do with the fact that both beetles prefer the same kind of wood.
"They were trying to avoid competition, so they weren't overlapping," Hedges said.
Today, with increased trade in furniture and lumber, both beetles are found throughout Western Europe. In Eastern Europe, the situation looks a little more complex, Hedges added. And he hasn't even had time to get into American woodcuts or other regions of the world.
"Japan and China did woodcut printing even earlier than Europe," he said. "There's a lot of potential for discovering other species and other interactions."
Hedges published the findings today (Nov. 20) in the journal Biology Letters.

More features like the duck rice
In a previous paper was presented at http://mutiarazuhud.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/pembentuk-akhlakul-karimah/ that scientifically based charity committed to correct it will be realized akhlakul karimah. As diperibahasakan by our parents once more shows like the duck rice, the more knowledgeable and it is increasingly tawadhu charitable, humble and not arrogant.Sesuailah with the aim of the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam sent by the Allah Almighty to establish good moral man.
Prophet convey the meaning "I am sent by (Allah) to perfect morality." (Ahmad)
We the Muslim religion is a part of an effort to emulate the most noble of human character, the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wasallam.
We the Muslim religion is a part of an effort to emulate the most noble of human character, the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wasallam.
Word of the Almighty, which means,
"Indeed there has been on the (self) that the Messenger of good role models for you (that) for people who expect (grace) of God and the (coming) Judgment Day and He is Allah much." (Surat al-Ahzab: 21)
"It's in you there is a noble character." (Surah Al-Qalam: 4)
So if there is someone known to have been steeped in religious knowledge, but not good moral then surely he understands the science of religion is wrong, is not adapted to what is conveyed by the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam.
They may take knowledge of the scholars are not clear sanad or isnad science teacher, so do not wake up because of the purity of science has been mixed with the human mind in which there is an element passions or interests.
Imam Malik said: "Thou shalt not bring the science (which you have learned) from people you do not know the record (history) education (sanad science)"
Ibn al-Mubarak said: "Sanad is a part of religion, even if it is not because the chain of transmission, then it will definitely be able to say anyone who is willing to whatever he wants." (Narrated by Imam Muslim in the book Muqoddimah Shahihnya 1/47 no: 32)
From Ibn Abbas the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam said ... "Those who say the Quran without the knowledge he provides his own place in hell" (HR.Tirmidzi)
Imam Shafi'i ~ rahimahullah said "there is no science without sanad '.
Imam Al-Hafidh Attsauri ~ Rahimullah said "science without sanad prosecutor is like a man who wanted to climb onto the roof of a house without stairs"
Perhaps they too are victims of incitement or ghazwul fikri (understanding of war) being waged by the Zionist Jews who understand the Quran and Sunnah in their own minds regardless isnad or sanad science teacher.
Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam said, "Whoever describes the Qur'an in his own mind and feel right, then indeed he had made a mistake". (Narrated by Ahmad)
Of Ibn 'Abbas r.a. said the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam said, "in the religion based on the understanding that no reasonable mind, it's true religion of God, His commands and prohibitions." (Hadith history of Ath-Thabarani)
Penghasutnya is one of the officers British Jew named Terrence Edward Lawrence, known by scholars as Laurens Of Arabia Arabian. Laurens investigate where lies the strength of Islam and Muslims concluded that the power lies to compliance with the school (bermazhab) and istiqomah follow-tharikat tharikat Sufism.

Different Manhaj Salaf manhaj (path / way) the pious Salaf because we know that there are not too pious Salaf. School of empatpun priest who bertalaqqi (Koran) with the pious Salaf never convey the Salaf and the school manhaj salaf.
Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, were the pious Salaf Imam or the four schools of the Salaf said no more convey the meaning of former or predecessor not to acknowledge or manhaj salaf salafi sect.
If they really want to follow the application, deeds, real or manhaj example, road or way of worship of Salafush Sholeh then they can follow what is conveyed by the four schools of Imam as Imam of the four schools of the direct application of the look, act, real or manhaj example, road or how to worship from Salafush Sholeh.
While the school of the Salaf were obviously not there because the school naming names ascribed to individuals who perform ijtihad and istinbat. So there is no priest names the school or absolute mujtahid imam named Salaf bin so and so.
Scholars of Syria, Dr. Said Ramadan Al-Buthi familiar with the anti-sect movement wrote a book titled "Al-Laa Mazhabiyah, Akhtharu Bid'atin Tuhaddidu As-Sharia Al-Islamiyah". If we translate freely, about the title's meaning is: "Understanding Anti-Force, the most critical heresy Destroying Islamic Sharia". Glimpse of the book review in writing at http://mutiarazuhud.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/2011/01/18/paham-anti-mazhab/
Here are snippets of dialogue between Shaykh Muhammad Sa'id Ramadan al-Buthi with Ulama Muhammad al-Albani Nashiruddin, a Wahhabi leaders of Jordan, before the Sheikh al Buthi wrote the book on
Shaykh al-Buthi asked: "How do you understand the laws of God, whether you take it directly from the Qur'an and Sunnah, or through the ijtihad of the mujtahid imams?"
Ulama Al-Albani said: "I compare the opinions of all the mujtahid imams and their arguments and then I grab the closest to the Qur'an and Sunnah."
Shaykh al-Buthi said: "If you have money 5000 Lira. The money you save for six months.Then the money you bought the goods to be traded, since when the stuff you put out zakat.Is it after the next six months, or wait another year? "
Ulama Al-Albani said: "The purpose of the question, you determined that there was commercial property zakat?"
Shaykh al-Buthi said: "I'm just asking. What I want, you answered your own way. Here we provide the books of tafsir, hadith and fiqh, please you study. "
Ulama Al-Albani said: "O my brother, it's a matter of religion. Issues that can not easily be answered by arbitrarily. We still need to examine and investigate. We came here to discuss other issues ".
Hearing the answer, Shaykh al-Buthi turn to another question: "Well if it did. Now I ask, if every Muslim must or must compare and examine the arguments of the priests mujtahid, then take the opinion most in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah? "
Ulama Al-Albani said: "Yes."
Shaykh al-Buthi said: "You mean your answer, everyone has the ability diligence as possessed by the priests schools? Even the ability of all people are perfect and beyond the ability of schools of ijtihad priests. Because logically, a person who is able to judge the opinions of the priests with the barometer madhhab al-Qur'an and Sunnah, it is clear he is more pious than they. "
Ulama Al-Albani said: "Actually, humans are divided into three, namely muqallid (who imitation), muttabi '(people who follow) and the mujtahid. People who are able to compare schools in Islam there and pick closer to the Qur'an is muttabi '. So muttabi 'the degree of the center, between taqlid and ijtihad. "
Shaykh al-Buthi asked: "What muqallid duty?"
Ulama al-Albani said: "He is obliged to follow the mujtahid who could follow."
Shaykh al-Buthi asked: "Is it sinful if it is like to follow a mujtahid and never switch to another mujtahid?"
Ulama al-Albani said: "Yes, he is sinful and unlawful."
Ulama al-Albani said: "Yes, he is sinful and unlawful."
Shaykh al-Buthi asked: "What is the argument that mengharamkannya?"
Ulama Al-Albani said: "The evidence, he was obliged to him, something not required of God to him."
Shaykh al-Buthi said: "In reading the Koran, you follow his qira'ah qira'ah who among the seven?"
Ulama Al-Albani said: "Qira'ah Hafs."
Shaykh al-Buthi said: "In reading the Koran, you follow his qira'ah qira'ah who among the seven?"
Ulama Al-Albani said: "Qira'ah Hafs."
Sheikh Al-Buthi asked: "Did you just follow it qira'ah Hafs? Or every day, you follow qira'ah different? "
Ulama Al-Albani said: "Not. I just followed it qira'ah Hafs. "
Ulama Al-Albani said: "Not. I just followed it qira'ah Hafs. "
Shaykh al-Buthi asked: "Why did you just follow qira'ah Hafs, even though Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala does not require you to follow qira'ah Hafs. Your obligation actually read the Qur'an according to a history that comes from the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam in mutawatir. "
Ulama Al-Albani said: "I have not had time to study the qira'ah-qira'ah others. I have trouble reading the Koran with the addition qira'ah Hafs. "
Ulama Al-Albani said: "I have not had time to study the qira'ah-qira'ah others. I have trouble reading the Koran with the addition qira'ah Hafs. "
Shaykh al-Buthi said: "People who study fiqh al-Shafi'i madhhab, nor had time to study the other schools in Islam. He is also not easy to understand the laws of his religion but learn fiqihnya Imam al-Shafi'i. If you require to know all the ijtihad of the priests, then you yourself must also learn all qira'ah, so you read the Koran with all qira'ah it. If you are reasonably unable to do so, then you must accept the reasons for the inability muqallid in this matter.
However, we now ask you, where do you think that a muqallid must move from one madhhab to other schools, but God does not require it. That is, as he is not obliged to settle on the schools alone, it is also not required to move continuously from one madhhab to other schools? "
Al-Albani said: "Actually it is forbidden to honor a muqallid schools with such conviction that God commands."

Al-Albani said: "Actually it is forbidden to honor a muqallid schools with such conviction that God commands."
Shaykh al-Buthi said: "Your answer is another matter. And it is true. However, my question is, whether it's a sin to fulfill muqallid one mujtahid, even though he knows that God does not require that? "
Al-Albani said: "Not guilty."
Shaykh al-Buthi said: "But you teach the book, different from what you say. In the book mentioned, the honor of the schools it was haram. Even in other parts of the book, people who fulfill the heathen schools alone was convicted. "
Faced with these questions, scholars of al-Albani was silent.
Yours respectfully
