Home Security January 7th, 2010
CILEGON – An employee of a company in Cilegon, Banten, creating a detector at the same time warning of the earthquake. Uniquely, the detection devices were made from old bottles.
Indeed, when the owner approached the idea in Cilegon, Banten, on Saturday (23/2/2008), there’s nothing special about this simple tool. The detector of this earthquake is only made of two bottles of fruit drinks that are prepared.
Both bottles were then fitted mminuman paper with the number of earthquake strength scale. But who would have thought, a tool that is named bottle earthquake, it can warn people around him, that there had been an earthquake. Therefore, it serves as a bottle of earthquake hazard alarm.
The trick is quite simple, if an earthquake occurs, seismic bottle will vibrate. Then, the pile of bottles fell, causing a loud noise. The fall of the bottle which noises are enough to make people around him in surprise.

Know Your Marbles Variety
Decoration January 7th, 2010
LOADING marble material on the floor could be a symbol of luxury residences. Scintillation arising from the unique structure of the pattern really cute.
However, do not forget the phrase “do not know it is not love.” Before choosing to apply to residential, let us learn more about this natural stone. Marble is actually not only be used as floor material. Accent wall, the table until the seats are also many who use natural stone is a metamorphosis of this limestone.
However, as you know, over the marble floor of the favorite because, other than luxury, is also capable of lowering the temperature of the room. Excuse for lho also energy efficient!
Before starting the tips and tricks on choosing a stone that comes from limestone mountains, many questions that arise around the marble. Like, why the price of expensive marble, and what distinguishes expensive marble with cheap marble?
“Initially marble so expensive because of scarce availability and depending on the natural results. Meanwhile, another factor is that through the process of making cuts, the selection depending on the type of motive that its natural resources, as well as finishing manufacturers, “explained architect Windi Dharmawan.
For the differentiator, which is expensive and cheap marble comes from the selection system manufacturers. This welding is determined from the pattern that is created and the scarcity of its kind. Although we used marble is the result of domestic production, could not mean cheap. Long process from raw stage until ready to use high difficulty level. Not much different from the production of stone rings.
Well, let’s start step marble applications on your home. Starting from the stage of choosing, there are three things worth noting. The first is the content of the material elements must be balanced. Usually produsen dare to make the technical tests on the product.
The second step by considering the texture. Marble with natural texture is more exclusive than the hand made. The third step could be to see the cracks caused. This method is easy, you only need to look at the display surface, can not you? For the choice of local marble, much has been made of material worthy of your floor. In addition to cheaper prices than imported marble, locally made also tend to be more natural. Not too much exposed to the human touch in terms of design.
Marble Lampung, for instance. This species has a primary color shiny, white veins and gray-black. It looks fine without holes, transparent, hard, and is the type of crystalline marble. Then marble Ujung Pandang, slightly creamy white color (beige), white and red muscles of young, loud, too shiny. While marble Tulungagung, primary colors are red veining accompanied kremnya and brown spots. The characters are not much different from other areas of artificial, that is hard and shiny. Next marble from Bandung. Same color as the marble Tulungagung, only he has a yellowish base and a blue vein. The last of Poso. Marble eastern Indonesian region of origin is a little unique with slightly greenish color other than beige. White veining and is characterized by brittle crystalline marble. This species is not so much on the market.
Next, you need to know is produced in the categories of cutting marble and random size slab. According to architects and interior designers home Yogyakarta, Rina Elandra, cutting size is the size of a patent which made producers. While that is a random type of flat slab is in no small measure, so that when they want to install (and you want a certain size), then the type of random slab should be cut first by the manufacturer or your own. The risk is that there is a remaining piece of the unused and not to the size you want to use. Bother you?
However, do not be surprised if these two types of marble instead have a different price if purchased from a local or imported. For local marble, the kind of cutting it cheaper than the slab. Meanwhile, for the opposite type of imports, cutting more expensive than the slab.
The next thing is the type of marble based finishing products. There are four classifications, which is polished, unpolished, honed, and hammer.
Polished marble which is already past the polishing process, not unlike a polished unpolished, so it looks a bit dull. While intended to honed marble who has experienced the process of polishing, but not maximal. “So as not polished, but the truth is,” said Rina Elandra.
Next, hammer the meaning has been chopped to form a specific texture. However, if you want to change the original texture, it can be done with a special order. Some manufacturers call it antique, which changed the texture of marble, but the veins and the color remains the same as the original.
