North Korea Threatens to Destroy Manhattan Using Hydrogen Bomb



The North Korean government threatened to destroy Manhattan, New York, using the hydrogen bomb. This threat KCNA news agency reported on Sunday (13/03/2016).

Hydrogen warheads, continued KCNA, will be installed on a ballistic missile is then fired into the United States.

"Our hydrogen bomb is greater than the USSR," the KCNA quoted as saying by The Washington Post.

"If this hydrogen bomb brought an intercontinental ballistic missile and crashed in Manhattan, all the people there will die, and the city would be leveled to the ground," says North Korea.

US Foreign Ministry officials acknowledge, North Korea's ballistic missile development has progressed. However, many experts are not convinced North Korean-made missile capable of reaching the US east coast.

Most scientists are also skeptical about the statement that North Korea claims to have had the hydrogen bomb.

Tensions on the Korean Peninsula is getting higher over the past few weeks after North Korea held a nuclear test, the fourth in January.

Then, despite international criticism, in February, North Korea launched a ballistic rocket.

A tense atmosphere more so after US troops and South Korea plus troops from Australia and New Zealand are involved in a joint military exercise that simulates a massive attack to the defense of the coast of North Korea.

Iraq Running out of money for War with ISIS


At the time of its military slowly getting urging forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), other problems must be faced by the government of Iraq.

Currently, the Iraqi government is on the verge of running out of charge to finance the war against ISIS.

Behind the front line in the desert of Iraq, where the Nineveh provincial police forces are practicing to reclaim their land, they lacked one thing, namely weapons.

"We have gathered here since the fall of Mosul. We've been waiting for five months but we do not get guns," said Mayor of Amman, standing in front of the ranks of the men in blue uniforms.

After receiving criticism for their poor ability when ISIS swept western and northern regions of Iraq, the country's military is now starting to get support.

The Iraqi army aided Shiite militias and Sunni tribes, managed to retake the city of Ramadi while making ISIS retreat from the province of Anbar and Salaheddin.

In fact, a plan of attack in Mosul, Iraq's second largest city occupied ISIS has already begun. However, on the ground attack was far from reality.

The last two months, "the enemy" toward the new Iraq that falling oil prices in the world market.
The drop in oil prices is due to the recklessness of Saudi Arabia starting a price war with their rivals in the Middle East, Iran and Russia.

The price war is a real impact on Iraq is the greatest loss of Iraqi government revenue.
As many as 90 percent of Iraq's revenue is from crude oil. As oil prices continued to decline to 40 US dollars per barrel, of course, keenly felt the blow for Iraq.

"Of course, the effect on all aspects of the Iraqi government, and the first to be affected is the ministry of defense," said Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidy, the weekly The Sunday Telegraph.
This information disampaika Obeid after a visit to the front line in the town of Haditha, Anbar province.

There Obeid received by local governments who complained, however pengeriman money and weapons from Baghdad.

The impact of the lack of a budget also affects traveling minister Obeid. Two Humvee combat vehicles in the entourage of the minister ran out of fuel in the middle of the desert.

Meanwhile, Iraq's army chief Lieutenant General Othman al-Ghanini praised the progress made by the army.

"We will speak to the interior ministry and try to give them weapons. Governor indicated that the transfer of funds stalled. However, we believe we can send them the money," added Obeid.

ISIS Make Two Android Applications

1540147Amaq340x340

the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) turned out to develop their own Android application specifically to communicate with other members, as well as the application of propaganda.

The application named Alrawi and Amaq Agency. This application was found in 2015 and then by a network of independent anti-terrorism Security Group Ghost.

Alrawi not just a mere messaging tool. In the programming code tucked encryption technology to secure the various conversations in it.

"Encryption is not as good as the company that has made in research and development. However, its existence proves that they are trying to secure the communication channel," said a spokesman Ghost Security Group.

Meanwhile, Amaq Agency is an application with a different purpose. The terror group used as a medium for propaganda, not communication.

Applications Amaq Agency used ISIS to spread propaganda
As reported by ColekcolekTekno of Newsweek, Friday (15/01/2016), the application can not be obtained directly through the Google App Store, but it must be downloaded using a specific code to be used on your phone or Android tablet.

Ghost Security Group believes that in the future, ISIS will make more applications.

Terror group that was expected was recruited many hackers to help them in cyber warfare.

In addition to preparation of the application and recruiting hackers, ISIS also has long used social media as a tool of propaganda disseminators.

Do Despised ... Electricity Suddenly Extinguished, IT InfrastructureLarge Loss!

1814332Smart-UPS1780x390

sudden power cuts can have a negative impact on the infrastructure of information technology (IT). The effect is felt, began to damage IT equipment to obstruction of business operations in today's modern era.

Power outages can be sure will cause a lot of problems, because electric power is the main energy source for electronic equipment. IT equipment that suck electricity sources that include servers, personal computers (PCs), switches, storage, printers, and others.

Automatic, so sudden power outages, all activity was inhibited IT devices, such as electronic transaction processing that requires the PC or server. Therefore, due to the occurrence of sudden power outages incurred losses are quite diverse.

Here are some factors to IT infrastructure loss due to sudden power outages:

Damage to assets

Sudden power outages have certainly affect IT equipment damage that ultimately leads to financial loss. Some devices, such as motherboards, monitors, processors to potentially defective server hardware.

Motherboard components function connects all components of a computer. That is, this component has the task to connect between hardware code language that can be synergized into a computer device work activities.

Meanwhile, another problem that will arise is the disruption of the performance of the server. This device serves to store information and manage a computer network. As a result, when the electric byarpet, then server performance decreases.

Yes, the server was required standby for 24 hours nonstop. Therefore, the server needs a power supply optimally and continuously. Without power, the system in the office network will die. Some systems, such as local area network (LAN) will not work directly.

Inevitably, with such conditions, as a private user or owner of your company will issue more budget for maintenance and the purchase of new devices. Therefore, the need for support of assistive technology that can minimize the risk in case of a sudden power failure problems.

Business loss

Hardware damage, in addition to making you have to spend to make a replacement, can also cause loss of data stored on a server or storage, interruption in the transaction process so as to give the loss on the business side.

Therefore, when the power goes out, users need technology support so that the electricity supply remains available for devices that work with the power source is turned on while waiting for a backup generator.

UPS as a solution
So far Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is the right solution when power outages occur. UPS is a device that serves to provide backup electric power and improving the quality of electricity for IT infrastructure.

Basically UPS is a source of alternative energy while replacing the main power supply, in this case the source of the electricity. UPS itself is a system power supply with backup battery support.

The use of the UPS to support the critical business such as servers, storage and networks is a must considering these devices should not lose power even for a moment. In addition, UPS is the right solution to anticipate the damage caused by unstable power supply voltage on your IT device due to the device to improve power quality.

There are some types of UPS types that need to be known to the user, namely offline UPS, online UPS, also known as line-interactive UPS, as well as true online double-conversion UPS. All three have a fundamental difference in function, especially in the electrical components to improve the quality and quantity of time displacement of the main power source to the UPS power source of the battery.

For example, in case of breaking up the flow of electricity, then the burden will be backed-up by UPS is classified as critical load. By doing so, it helps users to wear on-line Double Conversion UPS, because the displacement time counted zero seconds.

One of them is the type of UPS Double Conversion On-line UPS, which belongs to Schneider Electric Smart UPS series SURT1000XLI. Type Smart UPS supports output voltages up to 700 watts or 1.0 kilo volt-ampere (kVA).

This type of UPS will also ensure there is no break up the flow during the transition of the electricity to the UPS. You also do not have to worry about your IT devices will lose power, even for a second.

UPS types is indeed automatically directly supply its energy reserves. Period of time (running time) the power supply can be adapted to the needs.

By doing so, the UPS is quite useful for those who want to secure a server room or dwelling concept of Small Office Home Office (SOHO) on the occurrence of sudden power outages. In fact, the server supporting the e-commerce business will remain in your possession standby 24 hours nonstop.

So, from now you need not deal with privately-owned IT equipment or business support in the event of sudden power outages. Simply provide UPS as one of the tools your IT needs, plans and jobs continue to run even though electricity.
