The Kurds celebrate their new year, a people believed to be true civilization originated in the region between Iraq, Turkey and Syria and an own religious calendar and get your New Year celebrated by about 200 thousand people.

The Noruz is celebrated for at least 3000 years and is deeply rooted in the rituals and the Zoroastrian traditions being celebrated in many countries that are part of Kurdistan (where it is called Newroz), come to Afghanistan and other countries.

The first day of the Iranian calendar falls on the March equinox, which is the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, which is when during the equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator and this year fell this weekend.

Talking about the Kurdish new year, the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon said: “This ancient tradition of New Year coincides with the arrival of spring, giving rise to a rich variety of customs, rituals and festivities, the communities in the West , central and southern Asia, the Caucasus, the Balkans and other regions. ” (International Business Times)

This gives them a certain universality, although not have their right to a recognized own territory.

As we know that this historical fact is true, that a boy was born in Bethlehem and that in fact this happened, Mary and Joseph should go to Bethlehem birthplace of Joseph because a census was being conducted and each resident of Judea should go to their homeland .
This historical event was predicted in prophetic writings, the prophet Isaiah who lived in the years BC wrote: “Lord himself shall give you a sign:. The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel” (Bible, Isaiah 7 14)
The second historical signal is also divine, because the fact that the Messiah was due to the Bethlehem of Judea, as written by the prophet Micah: “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, out of you will come for what ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity “(Bible, Micah 5: 2).
And the Evangelist Luke describes the great sense commanded by Cesar Augusto, and mentions that occurred when Cirino was governor (of Judea) and narrates the evangelist:
“It happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (This first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria). And all went to be taxed, every one into his own cidade.E Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David called Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David). To taxed with Mary his espoused wife, who was pregnant “(Luke 2: 1-5).
But there was another census that was studied by the Jewish historian Josephus (Antiquities XVIII, 26 [ii.1], which said fact occurred in 6 AD), when this Cirino was governor of Syria, but is also mentioned in Acts 5:34 -37, and it is this that Josephus speaks, we see Luke’s account:
“He got up, however, a member of the Grand Council. Was Gamaliel, a Pharisee, lawyer, respected by all the people. He ordered them to leave these men for a moment, then said, Ye men of Israel, and consider what you going to do with these homens.Faz some time appeared a certain Theudas, who considered himself a great man. The he joined about four hundred men, was killed and all his followers were dispersed and came to nothing. After this, he rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the enrollment, and drew with you people, but he also perished and all who followed him were scattered “(Bible, Acts 5: 34-37).
Are events that occurred after the death [and resurrection] of Jesus, so after the year 3 AD, then the historian Josephus is right and Luke, too, but it is known that the fact calendar suffered interference dates when their institutionalization by Julius Caesar, in 46 BC, according to historian, there was a shift of three years, then give the 6 AD Josephus refers.
The historical fact, Bible prophecy saying that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, which would come from the seed of David (Joseph went to Bethlehem for the census because David was there), that a virgin would conceive and the fact that two censuses were conducted in that period, show the historical figure of Jesus’ birth, maybe the date is not 25, though it is a birth that should be celebrated by all teaching that brought this divine boy.
Up Pieter Brueghel frame the Elder – Census of Bethlehem: 1566.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 went to two scientists, the Canadian Arthur McDonald, the Observatory of Neutrinos Sudbury (Queen’s University) and the Japanese Takaaki Kajita, the Observatory SuperKamiokande (University of Tokyo) changes the physical longer as recently fixed by Higgs boson of the Standard Physics and can change the technology.

Neutrinos are known to two decades, and these particles however by the standard physics theory had mass in two independent experiments, the teams led by Kajita and McDonald showed that neutrinos can change identity, or “flavor”, as jargon of particle physics.

In other words, a type of neutrino can transform into others who were already known its three types: electron, muon and tau.But for this it is necessary that the particle has mass and called Standard Model of Particle Physics considered until then that the neutrino had no mass.Robert Garisto, the Physical Review Letters editor, explains “although each neutrino is produced with a specific flavor, its quantum state can develop into a combination of three flavors, with proportions ranging in time.

The probability of detection as a neutrino muon, for example, will depend on the muon component size in neutrino at the time of detection. The smaller the difference in mass between the flavors, the greater the period of oscillation, so that the oscillations may not occur if all the flavors were the same mass or no mass were not, since the effect depends only on the mass difference squared.

The period of oscillation also increases with the neutrino energy. “The consequences are enormous because in addition to the photo and dark matter which little is known, the neutrino is one of the most abundant materials on the planet.In 1928 the British physicist Paul Dirac developed an equation that should work with a particle with mass, but in 1929 the German mathematician Hermann Weyl found another solution to the Dirac equation for a massless particle.

This point was called “points of Weyl” in the 50 Ling Lu and his colleagues have identified this point in a material called crystal double-giroide photonic and a team of Princeton researchers found fermions Weyl within a metal crystal arsenide tantalum.A nanometer scale (see photo), based on these two materials can ignite a revolution of physics of materials, photonics and especially in quantum computing.

A quarterly report OpenSignal put Brazil in the 51st. position 68 with 4G coverage, the State of LTE report (“State of Long Term Evolution”) shows what we have repeated here, the most expensive service in the world is among the worst.

Also in the report that 140 countries have commercial network less than 4G, but included in the report only operators that had sufficient volume of data.

Compared to other countries, for example, smartphone users in Brazil can only 50% of the time they access the network, compared to 97% of South Korea, which leads the global coverage of ranking, although some network say it in Brazil.

The report explains that the search: “When analyzing the coverage, the most important is where users are in practice spending time, especially for LTE So instead of mapping specific geographic areas where the signal is available, our metric analyzing the proportion of time a user accesses the network. “

The country improved slightly in the rankings as the connection speed, Brazil has better performance, appearing in 23rd place, but the data is linked to the scope, ie only considers the 50% that use the network, the average speed tends to be higher.

The data put on the scope carriers Vivo and course joints appear first, covering 51% of the area, followed by Nextel and TIM (50%), whereas Hi is the lantern, with 42% coverage.

As for the connection speed, brazilian operator´s Claro is the leader (20 Mbps), followed by Vivo (18 Mbps), Hi (14 Mbps), TIM (10 Mbps) and Nextel (3 Mbps)

Cientistas da Universidade de Tóquio, da Academia de Ciência e Tecnologia de Kanagawa e da companhia química Sumitomo Chemical, criaram um sensor que podem ser instalados em mosquitos que voarão como drones e que identificam cheiro humano e de animais, segundo o jornal japonês Yomiuri.

O desenvolvimento do aparelho começa a partir de setembro com intenção de tê-lo para uso prático em 2020, os receptores de cheiro funcionam a partir de proteínas especiais e respondem com alta sensibilidade ao cheiro do suor em pessoas e animais. A ideia é calibrar o sensor para receptar o cheiro do suor no ar quando houver pelo menos uma parte por milhão (0,0001) nas partículas presentes no entorno do drone.

Segundo o jornal Japan News, o líder do grupo de pesquisadores e professor da universidade de Tóquio Shoji Takeuchi: “O mecanismo dos insetos para distinguir cheiros é mais simples que o dos mamíferos e, portanto, mais fácil de conduzir. É adequado para um sensor de pequeno tamanho”, e poderia ser usados por exemplo, em resgate de pessoas e animais.

A Free software and security concern for security grows in proportion to the number of users grows and developed systems on the Internet, private companies seek to protect only your software, or are companies working safely. The concern of open source companies such as Linux Foundation is not new, but now the foundation announced, according to the Washington Post, which will invest $ 500,000 in three projects that address security problems in open source technology services. In terms of basic infrastructure, will invest $ 200,000 to improve the safety of Debian and Fedora operating systems, allowing the developer to verify the authenticity of binary distributions feature that will avoid the introduction of faults in the construction process and distribution systems code. Other $ 192,000 will go to the project False-Positive-Free Testing (false-positive-Free Testing), an effort to build an open source for TIS interpreter that can reduce false positives detections TIS Analyzer threats. Over $ 60,000 will go to Fuzzing Project, an initiative to coordinate and improve the fuzz testing technique of software that identifies security problems in software or computer systems. The funding follows the discovery of several critical bugs in open source technologies widely used.

A project that is being jointly developed by Microsoft, Google, Mozilla and Apple can create a new Internet platform combining software written for excutar in native systems (OSs) and the Web reach, would make the web faster. The WebAssembly was initial result of the unification of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox teams, provides a lighter experience Web application load. Another effect is the “liberation of the programmer” because it helps the development programs in iOS dispute Apple and Google Android operating systems, the announcement of this project can be seen in the GitHub site. The project leader Luke Wagner told CNET that he is satisfied with the project, said: “I am happy to report that Mozilla has begun working with Chromium, Edge, and WebKit engineers on creating a new standard, WebAssembly” . At the basic level of the WebAssembly program provides a different way to let browsers run software written in C, C ++ or other languages, allowing the development of which is among the traditional programming languages ​​and machine code, which releases browser from the work of creating the machine code, and this is independent of the device hardware, allowing you to work in the language they choose. The common today is to develop JavaScript program that can be translated into machine code, with the Assembly Web programmer could develop many programs that would be between these two levels: the machine code and the high level of program that produces applications.
