THE POTENSIAL 10 BEST STRIKER - WORLD CUP 2010

This is The potensial 10 Best Striker - World Cup 2010, Ten Strikers to Watch at the World Cup. A look at 10 of the strikers likely to shine at this year's World Cup.

There will be a plethora of attacking talent on show at this year’s World Cup in South Africa. Here are 10 of the best strikers on parade in June. 

1. Sergio Aguero (Argentina)

The Atletico Madrid man gives away plenty in height and weight to most other strikers, but deserves to be recognized for his many other qualities, not least his predatory Romario-like finishing. The latest in a string of Argentineans to be dubbed the 'new Maradona,' El Kun’s (Aguero acquired the nickname because of a Japanese anime character with the same name and similar hair) claim is more substantial than most, given that he is to marry the great man's daughter!

2. Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast)

For affirmation of Drogba’s striking qualities and all-round play, just ask the Arsenal defense. Season after season they are bullied into submission by this physically imposing specimen, who can head the ball, finish well with either foot, and take scorching free-kicks. The Chelsea man may be prone to histrionics, but at club and international level, there are few who can match him for presence and all-round effectiveness.

3. Samuel Eto'o (Cameroon)

His country's record goalscorer, Eto'o has been one of the best marksmen in Spain over the last few years after successful spells with Mallorca and Barcelona. He has a reputation for being outspoken but no one questions his commitment to the cause. Now plies his trade with Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan, and is Cameroon’s outstanding player.

4. Luis Fabiano (Brazil)

'Fabigol' had a reputation for being hot-headed earlier in his career, but despite not always seeing eye-to-eye with Sevilla coach Manolo Jimenez, the former Porto ace has calmed down and focused on what he does best: scoring goals. With Ronaldo and Adriano no longer first-choice for Brazil, Fabiano has emerged as the main man in attack fairly late in his career.

5. Diego Forlan (Uruguay)

Moving to Spain transformed the fortunes of Forlan after he struggled to make the grade with Manchester United in England. Forlan may not be the easiest player to manage, but his intelligence, speed and ability to score goals with both feet make him a fiercesome prospect for any defense.

6. Klaas Jan-Huntelaar (Netherlands)

This will be the Dutchman's first World Cup. The AC Milan hit-man has an enviable scoring record at international level, and while he may not always contribute to his team's build-up play, a habit of being in the right place at the right time is a happy knack for a Netherlands side with plenty of ball players capable of teeing him up.

7. Miroslav Klose (Germany)

The Bayern Munich frontman is a serial World Cup scorer. He headed five goals in 2002, including a hat-trick against Saudi Arabia, and backed that up with another five on home turf in 2006 as Germany reached the semi-finals. A clinical striker, with strong heading ability. One criticism is that he can endure goal droughts.

8. Wayne Rooney (England)

If there were question marks over Rooney's goalscoring abilities, they are being well and truly answered this season. Now that he has added more goals to his game, Rooney is the all-round player. Superb awareness, long-range passing, hold-up play and a never-say-die sprit combine to make a precious asset for club and country.

9. Fernando Torres (Spain)

El Nino (The Kid) has turned into a phenomenon in the Premier League with Liverpool. His pace, touch and deadly eye for goal make him a handful for any defense. He is a regular in the Spain team, although some critics see him as a less technically accomplished player than his strike partner David Villa. Scored the winner for Spain in the Euro 2008 final against Germany.

10. David Villa (Spain)

The Valencia star has an exceptional goalscoring record for La Furia Roja. An effective dribbler, with an intuitive finish, the frontman has regularly been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona. Research conducted by World Soccer magazine in 2009 established him as statistically the best striker in the game. His movement sets him apart from many others, that ability to shake off defenders and eke out space. The complete striker.

SEJARAH HANDPHONE

Bicara masalah perkembangan teknologi handphone tentu tidak akan pernah habisnya. Tapi tahukah anda mengenai Sejarah handphone? Perkembangan handphone dimulai secara bertahap sampai akhirnya berkembang pesat sampai sekarang ini, Bagi anda yang suka akan literatur inilah sejarah singkat handphone. 

Pada tahun 1910 adalah cikal bakal telepon seluler yang ditemukan oleh Lars Magnus Ericsson, yang merupakan pendiri perusahaan Ericsson yang kini di kenal dengan perusahaan Sony Ericsson. Pada awalnya, orang Swedia ini medirikan perusahaan Ericsson memfokuskan terhadap bidang bisnis perlaan telegraf, dan perusahaanya juga tidak terlalu besar pada waktu itu.

Pada tahun 1921 pertama kalinya Departemen Kepolisian Detroit Michigan menggunakan teleopn mobile yang terpasang di semua mobil polisi dengan menggunakan freuensi 2 MHz.

Pada tahun 1960, di Finlandia sebuah perusahaan bernama Fennis Cable Works yang semula berbisnis dibidang kabel, melakukan ekspensi dengan mendirikan perusahaan elektronik yang bernama Nokia sebagai handset telepon seluler.

Tahun 1970-an perkembangan telepon mobile menjadi pesat dengan di dominasi oleh 3 perusahaan besar yaitu di Eropa dengan perusahaan Nokia dan perusahaan Mototola-nya.

Pada tahun 1969, sistem telekomunikasi seluler dikomersialkan. Setelah tahun 1970, telekomunikasi seluler semakin sering dibicarakan orang. Motorola mengenalkan telepon genggam tiga tahun kemudian. Ukurannya memang cukup besar dengan antena pendek. Ada pula ponsel dengan ukuran sekoper. Dr Cooper yang menjadi manajer proyek inovasi Motorola itu memasang base station di New York. Untuk proyek ini Motorola bekerja dengan Bell Labs. Penemuan ini sekaligus diklaim sebagai penemuan ponsel pertama. Di suatu pagi 3 April 1973,Cooper, saat itu menjabat sebagai general manager pada Divisi Communication Systems Motorola mempertunjukkan cara berkomunikasi aneh dari terminal telepon portable. Dia mencoba ponsel ‘raksasanya’ sambil berjalan–jalan di berbagai lokasi di New York. Itulah saat pertama ponsel ditampilkan dan digunakan di depan publik.

Dalam pertunjukan itu, Cooper menggunakan ponsel seberat 30 ounce sekitar (800 gram) atau sepuluh kali lipat dibandingkan rata – rata ponsel yang beredar saat ini.

Demikianlah sejarah awal handphone terbentuk, Perkembangan handphone terus berlanjut, mulai dari layar monochrome ke LCD, suara polyponic sampai mp3, mulai kamera sampai video. Teknologi Handphone tak akan berhenti disini, masih banyak inovasi yang mungkin akan terus muncul pada masa-masa yang akan datang.

Make that One a Year, not One a Day

[Stomp those grapes, but don't drink the wine!]







In the department of confusing news department:
Swedish researchers are telling us that multivitamin use was closely associated with a higher rate of breast cancer.
We find this hard to believe. Take your vitamins, we're told. Did you take your vitamins? we're asked. Now the correct answer to that question is No.
Reporting in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers from the Swedish environmental medicine institute asked 35,000 cancer-free women to fill out a questionnaire. Some nine-and-a-half years later (Why not an even 10?), almost 1,000 of the women had breast cancer, and those women were more likely to have taken a daily multivitamin.
According to Reuters Health, Researchers found that women who reported multivitamin use at the study's start were 19 percent more likely than non-users to develop breast cancer. That was with factors like age, family history of breast cancer, weight, fruit and vegetable intake, and exercise, smoking and drinking habits taken into account.
But what if there is some other factor that wasn't taken into account? Like depression? Or exposure to toxic chemicals? Or dope smoking?
One of the researchers told Reuters that women who take multivitamins are more likely to have dense breasts, which in turn are more likely to become cancerous. Does that have to mean that taking multivitamins leads to the density? It could be that dense-breasted women are more likely to take multivitamins. Women with dense, fibrocystic breasts are sometimes told to take Vitamin E to help ease breast soreness. Who's to say whether these already-densely-breasted women decided to take their E as part of a multivitamin tablet?
The lead researcher told Reuters that women should get their nutrients directly from their food, not from a bottle.
Echoing that sentiment was a study in the same nutrition journal touting a healthy diet as a way to stave off breast cancer. Again Reuters tells us: An analysis of 18 published studies involving 400,000 people conducted by Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland found there was an 11 percent lower risk of breast cancer among women in the highest versus lower categories of a prudent diet.
Drinkers of alcohol were more likely to develop breast cancer.
There are so many studies churned out that the average person gets confused and then fatalistic. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. And I let the hair stylist convince me to dye my hair and I didn't get details about the dye first, except that it's semi-permanent.
We all know that fruits and vegetables, grains, beans, nuts make up the best diet. There's really little mystery. When someone loses a good deal of weight everyone surrounds her asking, seeking: How did you do it? Like there was a magic way. What we're really asking is: How did you get yourself to do it? What made you stick with it? Because each of us knows the formula Eat less, exercise more.
