Driving Alone

I was little bit upset last night when they woke me up at around 2:30 am just to drive my aunt to NIA airport because her flight was 4 am. Nobody was available to drive except me so I don’t have choice. Since they were all sleeping, I was force to drive alone with my aunt on board. I drove as fast as I could but my aunt told me to slow down when she notice that our speed was 110 kilometer per hour (k.p.h) because she felt nervous. I drop my speed in to 70 kph until we reach the airport. Since I was alone going home, I push the car to its speed limit. I was thrilled when I saw my speed was at 170 kilometer per hour but not quite excited because I was expecting 200 kph, but the car can’t go further beyond 170 probably because I’m using diesel not premium gasoline or blaze. While driving, I notice that I have a camera in my car so I pick it up and took some of these crazy pictures while driving one handed. That was my first crazy thing on the road. I don’t know what’s next but one thing for sure, if will do a crazy thing again it will be more exciting, dangerous and fun.

Is Astrology the Key to your Future?

According to the world book Encyclopedia, astrology "is based on the belief that the heavenly bodies form patterns that can reveal a person's character or future." Astrology was very famous during the Chaldeans (Babylonia). But the Babylonian astrologers could not foretell their city's downfall even a few hours in advance. And when God's own adverse judgment appeared on the wall of King Belshazzar's palace, the astrologers proved incapable of interpreting the cryptic writing.
Today, astrologers have not proved any more effective in predicting significant events. After examining more than 3,000 specific astrological predictions, scientific investigators R. Culver and Philip Ianna came to conclusion that only 10 percent were accurate. Any well-informed analyst could do better than that.
Rather than attribute our successes or failure to the stars, the Bible clearly states that "whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap." (Galatians 6:7) God holds each of us responsible for our actions, since we are free moral agents. (Romans 14:12) True, we may suffer an accident or an illness because of events beyond our control. But such calamities, the scriptures explain, are due to "time and unforeseen occurrence," not our horoscope. -- Ecclesiastes 9:11.

Is Planet Earth Under Threat?

Global warming has been described as the greatest threat facing humanity. For one thing, the physical processes that underlie the global climate systems are complex and not fully understood. In addition, interest groups tend to put their own spin on the scientific data, such as that used to show why temperatures are rising.
Many believe that human activities are the major cause of global warming, which may have catastrophic consequences for the climate and the environment. For example, large scale melting of land-based ice and the expansion of the oceans as water warms could cause sea levels to rise drastically. Low lying lands island could disappear if this thing happens.
At the same time, rising temperatures could intensify storms, floods, and droughts. It could also risk the thousands of species of animals, including polar bears, whose hunting grounds are largely on the ice.
Rising temperature may also foster the spread of disease like fungi and etc. The danger posed by climate change is really quite alarming and maybe over the next decade’s climate change could cause irremediable harm to the habitats upon which human societies depend for survival.
What are we to make of these predictions? Is life on earth really at a crossroads? Skeptics of global warming say that such dire predictions are groundless. Others are not sure. So, what is the truth? Is earth’s future and ours in peril?
