Causes your Concentration Difficult

Concentration is an easy word to pronounce, but difficult to implement. Each person must have experienced situations where it is difficult to concentrate. This condition can happen to anyone regardless of age status. Young and old alike can experience it. Actually, what caused it, here are some reasons why your mind is easy floating along the advice of experts:

1. Low hormone levels

The mind is easily dispersed signals that you may be deficient in vitamins or hormones, particularly if accompanied by unusual fatigue. Dr Orford, Expert Staff of the Mayo Clinic, Preventive Medicine Division, in Scottsdale said, "If there is a deficiency in thyroid hormones, so it slows down your metabolism, thereby reducing blood flow and function of cells in different parts of the brain."

Suggestion: Make an appointment with your doctor to simply consult. After that, make a list every time there is a change of health problems to help detect the source of problems related to concentration problems.

2. Hormones have been damaged

Kimberly Pearson, MD, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital Center, Women's Mental Health stated that it is difficult to concentrate is the most common complaint of women experiencing perimenopause.

Tip: If other signs pointing to the perimenopause (hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness), to consider short-term hormone replacement therapy.

"Most women who've done it feels like to get back his memory," he said.

3. Influence of drugs

Some medications such as anti-depressants can affect your mood (mood) and concentration when you decide to stop taking them. Antihistamines, for example, sedatives can trigger drowsiness long enough.

Suggestion: Write down all the medications you're taking and ask your doctor, whether any of the medicines that can cause concentration problems.

4. Cigarette

Besides damaging the general health, the effects of smoking can also affect your concentration power. The more and longer you smoke, gray matter in the brain more quickly lost. In fact, when trying to quit smoking, you will have trouble concentrating, said Christopher Kahler, Ph.D., of Brown University.

"This is a common complaint smokers. But, you will be getting more benefit psychologically if you stop smoking," he said.

Tip: The more happy you feel when trying to quit, the more likely you are to succeed, says Kahler. The point is how you can do to improve mood (mood).

5. Unhealthy eating

What you eat have a major impact on mental clarity, said Laura Middleton, PhD, assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. Poor eating habits increase the risk of disease, such as obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and other diseases that can impair cognitive function and lead to obesity, making it more difficult to stay active, which is important for brain health.

Advice: "If it's good for the heart and cardiovascular system, then it is also good for the brain," said Middleton, who advised to adhere to the principles of the Mediterranean diet (a diet high in fish, vegetables, and low in saturated fats and processed foods).

6. Busy

The work is sedentary all day behind a desk or behind the wheel of a car should not be considered good. The work tends to persist and do not involve physical activity can affect your mind. In order to keep the mind sharp, you have to keep moving. Exercise can increase the production of substances that slow the formation of plaques triggers Alzheimer's disease.

"Need a few weeks to be able to feel the benefits. But, after that you will experience positive changes quickly," said Middleton.

Suggestions: Perform cardiovascular activity for 30 minutes with a period of 3-5 times a week. "If you can do it for an hour, that's good," said Middleton, who also urged to include weight training. Middleton and colleagues found evidence that by being active throughout the day can help keep your mind sharp.

7. Anxiety disorder

Excessive anxiety can cause you trouble concentrating. Because, with a restless mood, a person usually becomes hyper-vigilant with the surrounding environment.

Tip: If you can not concentrate because it was too worried, stop doing the job and do something fun to remove the tension in your head, says Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, PhD, professor of psychology department at Yale. Try to go for a walk, trying new recipes, or play with friends.

DorkBot.Bx and Characteristics of the Infected PC

As has become a schedule, beginning of each year and the end of the year, the makers of malware is usually 'release newest product' form of malware variants that have new ways of infecting computers. It also occurs at the end of this year where a new malware being intensively spread this month.

This malware is detected as Trojan.Generic.KD.440xxx or W32.Dorkbot.Bx. If the previous ones spread BitCoinMiner trojans and trojan variant Kolab, this variant is the 'new incarnation' of BitCoinMiner trojan trojan that uses methods Kolab. This is a group of trojan / backdoor designed to steal information or data of computer users, especially matters related to personal financial data, which is associated with internet banking. Just like trojans BitCoinMiner, DorkBot.Bx variant also has the ability to record information / data relating to personal data such as usernames, passwords, credit cards, and others. Not only that, the computer that is infected with a trojan was used as a tool for solving participated blocks BitCoin cryptography using BitCoin account of the owner of the trojan.
That was a bit of information about DorkBot.Bx, now we need to know how the characteristics of the computer has been infected by this malware. Here are some characteristics of the infected computer DorkBot.Bx:

1. CPU 100%

DorkBot.Bx will make the CPU becomes sluggish. Shows the percentage of CPU usage 100%. This is because the activities of trojans that attempt to break the cryptographic block BitCoin and actively trying to make sending data.

2. Wasteful of bandwidth

Not only is making a slow computer where the CPU usage to 100%, another thing to note is the activity of Internet bandwidth. This is because the result of trojans DorkBot.Bx makes your bandwidth to be extravagant.

3. Hiding a folder on a USB drive or removable disk

Not different from its predecessor, BitCoinMiner trojan, trojan DorkBot.Bx was also doing the same thing is to hide the folders on the USB or removable disk and create a shortcut similar false name of the folder. It seems the trend shortcut also inspire trojan DorkBot.Bx

4. Connecting to Server BitCoin

Trojan DorkBot.Bx attempt to connect to Server BitCoin to perform cryptographic delivery BitCoin blocks malware authors use the account on BitCoin. This is advantageous because the manufacturer can quickly and easily perform cryptographic blocks BitCoin through the help of computers already infected.

5. Connect to IRC / Remote Server

Trojan DorkBot.Bx also attempt to connect to IRC / Remote Server for the delivery of computer users BitCoin information required by the malware authors.

6. Downloading files malware

In order to simplify the action, trojans DorkBot.Bx also to download some specific malware files from IRC / Remote Server in order to stay updated and are not easily recognizable by the antivirus. Files of different malware is what sometimes makes it difficult to detect the presence of antivirus trojan DorkBot.Bx.

7. Downloading files Certificate Authority (CA)

Basically, the Certificate Authority (CA) is used in online payment transactions such as banks, PayPal, and thousands of other sites that use the SSL protocol. By downloading the file CA, malware makers want to ensure that victims of infected computers already have updated so that CAs can transact safely BitCoin.

8. Transfer data have been obtained

The main objective of the trojan DorkBot.Bx is getting information from the user's computer that is infected.

9. Open various ports

DorkBot.Bx Trojan also opens various ports on the victim's computer to be able to easily connect to the IRC / Remote Server, and perform various actions with impunity.

10. Adopting Facebook Chat

This method is probably the most common users. DorkBot.Bx provide a URL link that has been converted into a short, so users will be easily fooled. If the link is opened, then the user will download a file using the file name and icon are quite 'sexy'.

Another characteristic is to modify the registry and create some files to infect computers. In order to directly active when the user connects the USB or removable drives, trojans DorkBot.Bx exploit security holes of Windows is Windows Icon handler that makes the shortcut from the trojan file will be active once to access the drive.

Blogger Buddy, that was a bit of information about emerging DorkBot.Bx Trojan in action lately. Hope this is useful for us. Stay alert and happy blogging.

Do not Underestimate the Tingling

Some people must have experienced numbness when sitting cross-legged for too long or fall asleep with his head crushed. This condition also occurs when pressure on the nerve that goes right. However, the numbness will go away when the pressure is not there anymore.
Pins can also be indicative of many diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, pinched nerves, impaired blood flow in the peripheral blood vessels, and blood disorders. There are times when those who have not known to have diabetes, tingling may be an early symptom of diabetes known.
Paresthesia or numbness is often a symptom of chronic neurological disease or traumatic nerve damage. The cause is a disorder that affects the central nervous system such as stroke and mini stroke, multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis, and encephalitis.
Tumors and vascular lesions of the brain or spinal pressure can also cause paresthesia. Neurological syndromes such as carpal channel syndrome (CTS) can damage the peripheral nerves and cause paresthesia accompanied by pain.
Here are a number of diseases characterized by symptoms of tingling.

1. Diabetes mellitus (DM)
In patients with DM, tingling is a symptom of damage to blood vessels. As a result, blood flow in the nerve endings is reduced. This condition can be overcome by controlling blood sugar levels closely, also taking drugs such as gabapentin, vitamin B1 and B12.
2. Stroke
Tingling can be a sign of a mild stroke. Usually caused by blockages in blood vessels in the brain, resulting in damage to local nerves. Other symptoms that occur: numbness half body, half body paralyzed, blind one eye, difficulty speaking, dizziness, double vision and blurred.
Symptoms last a few minutes or less than 24 hours. Usually occurs during sleep or just waking up. This condition should be treated because it can develop into a severe stroke.

3. Heart disease
Tingling neuropathy is not only due to pressure, but because of cardiac complications with her nerves. In patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery installation, there are blood clots that stick. Clot that can be carried by the flow of blood to the brain, causing cerebral embolic.
If the blockage in the brain regions that regulate the sensory system, the patient will feel a tingling right. If the local governing motor system is also affected, the tingling will be accompanied by paralysis.

4. Infections of the spine
This causes the body from the navel downwards can not be moved. Patients could not control urination. Bowel movement was difficult. This disease called myelitis (inflammation of the spinal cord). Level of recovery depends on the damage. Can recover some, but there is also a paraplegic.

5. Rheumatism
This disease can cause tingling or feeling thick. In this case due to a pinched nerve at the hinge joints, such as the wrist joint, change shape. Tingling symptoms usually disappear when cured rheumatism.

6. Spasmofilia (tetani)
Symptoms of tingling can also be a sign of disease spasmofilia (tetani). The disease is caused by calcium ion levels in the blood decreases. The reason is the decrease of carbon dioxide tension in the lungs. Other symptoms: leg cramps, insomnia, emotional instability, fear, weakness, headaches or migraines, and lost consciousness.

7. Guillain-Barre syndrome
Tingling could be one indication of this disease. Marked symptoms of high fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Also followed by tingling and numbness. Tingling sensation usually felt in the whole body, especially on the tip of the toes and fingers due to virus attacks the peripheral nervous system.
If things were not addressed, will continue to attack vital organs. As a result, the patient felt shortness of breath and was paralyzed on the entire body.

8. Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
There is a tingling sensation that preceded severe flu. Tingling will increase in intensity starting from the tip of the finger, creeping up to the navel. Patients may simply feel numb or to difficulty walking, means inflammation of the spinal cord is taxable. This is due to virus attacks, typically cytomegalovirus.

Bloggers, now we already know that tingling sensation should not be left alone. Let's keep the health, because health is good. If healthy, we can move comfortably, including blogging. Is it true?

New Name in the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements

Blogger Friend, surely you're all familiar with chemical terms, chemistry, and so on. Especially during high school that used to sit in science class. Chemistry is arguably one of the lessons that 'maybe' less liked by students, because the chemistry lesson arguably one of the lessons are hard to understand. If that were the case, this could be bad news. Why? Due to the already complicated chemistry has now got a new comer in the periodic table of elements. There are three additional new elements were added in the periodic table of elements. These three names have been approved by the General Assembly of International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). Approval was committed in the meeting by the General Assembly which consists of 60 people at the Institute of Physics (IOP), London, Saturday 5 November 2011 that then. These three elements are named Darmstadtium (Ds), Roentgenium (Rg) and Copernicium (Cn), each is numbered 110, 111 and 112.

Head of IOP and the Secretary General of IUPAP, Dr Robert Kirby-Harris, as quoted by the Daily Mail last Saturday said the naming of this element has been approved in consultation with physicists from around the world and we are pleased to see them introduced in the periodic table of elements.

In earlier publications Saturday, LiveScience stated that the three elements of the new element called "superberat" or transuranium. This element exists only in the laboratory, not in nature, once shed quickly become another element and difficult to learn. Not much is known about that element. These three elements have long been found. However, indirect naming must be done in accordance with the agreement due to organizational scientists. Therefore, the three elements can only be added to the Periodic Table.

In general, an element named after its discoverer, the place is found or the name of honor. Copernicium for example, was created February 9, 1996 under the name ununbium. The name did not change until 2009 when the existence of an element has been demonstrated. The name was taken in honor of Copernicus and Copernicus, the first scientist to claim that the Earth around the Sun.

While Roentgenium found December 8, 1994 with the original name unununium. Roentgenium name then used as a tribute to the services of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, the scientist who detects X-rays and won the physics Nobel in 1901.
Darmstadtium created by Peter Armbruster and Gottfried Munzenberg with names beginning ununnilium. The name is taken Darmstadtium conducted at the facility for the manufacture of the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Germany, located near the city of Darmstadt.

Having succeeded in giving the names of three elements, the scientists are now trying to name the elements 114 and 116 that have been added to the periodic table of elements that last July. Its official name will soon be introduced some time to come.

Eat Dark Chocolate = Exercising?

Good news for my friends who do not like exercise. What is it? Now there is another way that 'may' is much more comfortable that the effect is not lost through exercise. Want to know? Curious? The answer is to eat chocolate. Why? Not good? we do not need to tired to exercise, do not need to be bathed in sweat, quite simply by eating chocolate. This is not true? Lest lie? First patient, do not protest!

You could say that chocolate is a favorite food of all ages. Foods that this one was known to have a delicious flavor. People who do not like chocolate 'maybe' you could say 'weird'. Some time ago, a study has brought out another one for the health benefits of chocolate. Previously found a variety of chocolate's health benefits. But this is different to that before. A recent study revealed that eating dark chocolate has health benefits for our body, which is equivalent to people who do sports activities.

A researcher from Wyne State University, Dr.. Moh Malek, focused his research on mitochondria. Mitochondria are the energy generation sources that produce energy in cells. In his research, he discovered the existence of a plant compound found in cocoa or cocoa called epicatechin. These compounds are able to provide stimulation to the muscles so that the response generated is similar to sports activities. Dr. Malek explained that mitochondria produce the energy used by cells in the body. The more mitochondria means the greater the energy produced. Thus, the more work that can be done by the body.

This study used rats as experimental. Research conducted by Dr. Malek is using a type of cocoa epicatechin administered to rats twice a day. This is done regularly and continuously for 15 days. At the same time, other rats that underwent exercise treadmill for 30 minutes per day. From both experiments, Dr. Malek found that rats that ate only epicatechin has the same performance as a treadmill exercise rats.

The researchers hope these findings can be used as an alternative to fight age-related muscle wasting.
"It appears that epicatechin treatment combined with exercise can be a means to offset the aging of muscles," adds Dr. Malek.

How is my friend? I am not lying, right? Now to select which one? Want sports tired, perspiring, it took the sacrifice of time or enough to eat chocolate? If I so choose both, exercise and eating chocolate ....

How Much We Use Brain?

Basic pinhead! Such statements are usually uttered by someone who is upset face stupidity of others. In fact, as quoted by the journal Intelligence, on the basis of the results of research conducted at Virginia Commonwealth University, noted that the intelligence of a person not related to brain size has. Whether it's big or small brain size, has nothing to do with intelligence. But the brain size of this will affect the other functions. As examples of people who live in the Antarctic region in general have large brains. It is necessary to support the function of vision. As we know, in Antarctica, which is part of the north end gets very little sun exposure because the sun is rarely seen. Therefore, the weather there tends to dim. This is why they need more visibility to be able to look around than people who live in khaulistiwa.
Different things happen to people who live in the Micronesia region. Most of them had a relative brain size smaller. Women have smaller brains than men, about 11-12 percent. However, this does not mean men are smarter than women.
"Only the brains of different buildings. Areas of the brain associated with intelligence in men with different areas of the brain associated with intelligence in women. There are at least two different brain architectures that lead to the same level of intelligence between men and women," said Prof.. Richard Haier, a consultant neuroscience at the University of California, Irvine.

Need Lots of Energy

Another misperception that had circulated in the community for decades is the opinion which states that most new human brain uses about 10 percent, while most of the brain has not been used or otherwise unemployed. Some experts are then denied the presumption. One of them is Barry Gordon, a neurologist from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, in Baltimore, USA.

In addition to Barry, John Henley, brain specialists from the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, United States stated that the evidence shows that our brain uses 100 percent, all day. When we sleep, frontal cortex areas that control high-level thinking and self-awareness, or somato sensory area which helps us to feel the surroundings remain active. In addition, he also stated that sometimes the brain that we use is no more than 10 percent, but all parts of our brain functioned every day. So no one allowed to remain unemployed. Every part of the brain has the function of each. For example, frontal lobe associated with the motor, memory, cognition, and language, and cerebral cortex that has the task of learning new information, make decisions, etc..
Therefore, if every time we use every part of the brain simultaneously, it will require a lot of body energy. Most of our body's energy, about 20 percent, is allocated for normal brain function. It was meant to do other things such as walking, breathing, eating, digesting food, and other vital activities, we will lack energy.

Thousand Tera

Physically viewed our brain is a soft organ, mostly composed of water (78 percent), fat (10 percent), and protein (8 percent). Beyond the physical aspects, in fact many scientists are only able to open up a bit of mystery that envelops the brain. Until now, it is not clear about the dreams, the relationship between the conscious and subconscious, the relationship between brain and mind, brain and soul, the funds are still many more, including how much brain capacity we have.
In an age-paced computerized, as now, the human brain is often compared to the "brain" is actually a computer that man's own creation. How hell, why even compared to homemade?
In the human brain there are about 100 billion nerve cells, where one another have a connection. Experts suspect, in many connections that the data (memory) is stored. It is estimated that our brain's capacity to store terabytes of data between 1-1000 terabyte.

Bloggers, in fact the most important thing is not on the size of our brains. Whether it's big or small, the most important thing is that we must love him. The trick to give him healthy food, exercise regularly, use it only for things that are positive and beneficial for others. And do not forget is to not use excessive brain. Rest when tired. The brain is also like a muscle. He also can wear out and need to relax, especially if you have to concentrate on the same task in a long time. To revive, Dr. Marc Berman suggested for a moment the streets in a city park between the trees big or look at the beautiful green gardens, rather than going into a busy shopping center.

"Enjoying the natural beauty of memory will improve performance by up to 20 percent. Instead, go to crowded places instead will add to the anxiety," said researchers from the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, Canada.

Bloggers, already described?! Never force the brain. If you are tired, it breaks. Stop all activity for a moment to rest, so that fresh anymore and certainly can blog again ...
