It was discovered that there were two terrestrial planets orbiting a mature sun-like star some 300 light-years from Earth recently suffered a violent collision, astronomers at UCLA, Tennessee State University and the California Institute of Technology will report in a December issue of the Astrophysical Journal, the premier journal of astronomy and astrophysics. It's as if Earth and Venus collided with each other. It sounds crazy!!! Who knows when suddenly Venus run out from its orbit!!!' How do planetary orbits become destabilized in such an old, mature system, and could such a collision happen in our own solar system?' This question is too scary for everyone of us to answer it!!

Stress and Anxiety
(24.9.2008)http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/symptoms/stress-and-anxiety/overview.html?excamp=GGHLstresshealth&WT.srch=1&WT.mc_ev=click&WT.mc_id=HL-S-E-GG-NA-CT-stress_health
Stress can come from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or anxious. What is stressful to one person is not necessarily stressful to another. By the way, anxiety is a feeling of apprehension or fear. The source of this uneasiness is not always known or recognized.Stress is a normal part of life. In small quantities, stress is good -- it can motivate you and help you be more productive. However, too much stress, or a strong response to stress, is harmful. It can set you up for general poor health as well as specific physical or psychological illnesses like infection, heart disease, or depression. Persistent and unrelenting stress often leads to anxiety and unhealthy behaviors like overeating and abuse of alcohol or drugs. Emotional states like grief or depression and health conditions like an overactive thyroid, low blood sugar, or heart attack can also cause stress. So, 'JUST DON'T WORRY AND BE HAPPY'!!!!

I believe that most of us know that Pluto is the one dwarf planet in our Solar System. However do you know that there are three more dwarf planet discovered in our Solar System? They are called Ceres, Eris and Makemake. Recently, a new dwarf planet has been discovered and Haumea is its name. So, there are 5 dwarf planets in our Solar System now.

Eat less meat to fight climate change: UN expert
(20.9.2008)http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080907/sc_afp/unfoodclimatewarmingindia;_ylt=AvMAWC4u5Pb6iYOvoGrwnMYPLBIF
You may be asking how can meat associated to the climate change? This is also my 1st question in my mind when i notice the title. Actually in the article, an UN expert encourages us to eat less meat as a way to help overcome the global warming crisis nowadays. This is because when we eat less meat, rearing animals such as cattles can be reduced in every country and can directly declined the amounts of greenhouse gas released to the atmosphere. I also think that it is more or less helpful. It's not enough to focus in reducing gas from exhaust or filtered smokes from the factories only in the combat against this climate change issue, we really have to bring about reductions in every sector involved.
