According to " 'Binge-drinking gene' discovered", BBC NEWS reports that scientists found the gene,RASGRF2, which is detected in people whose happiness are stimulated by drinking alcohol.
Finally, we have discovered another big blame when someone ask why you are alcoholism instead to claim that because of themselves or society. But your addiction cause from your great grandfather or grandmother or father or mother. It sounds reasonable, doesn't it?

Sleep is Important
According to " Why do we need to sleep?", Tom Stafford reports that one living activity is important as breathing or eating is sleep because it helps us to improve our memories by reorganizing, refreshing, and saving energy, especially a day time nap.
This article remind me when I was in university because I always spent ten minutes after lunch for taking a nap. While napping, I felt like I slept for long hours. Of course, this habit was appeared while I was working. But, not today.

Love induce clever
According to "What makes us intelligent?", Tom Stafford reports that our mind affects directly our memories;according to memorization experiment, the pairs who were a couple in relationship could remember more items than the pairs who did not know each other.
I quite agree with this article because when people work together at first time or just know each other, their minds might be full of worries because there are many carefulness when they communicate with one another. Their minds could not concentrate on any work and the result of work might be not as equal as their usual standards.

Everybody Can Count
According to "Animal that can count", Jason G. Goldman reports that our mathematics skills transcend other species because of our language which connect between us and mathematics;however, other species can also us this skills. For example, chicken which in experiment it knew what is the subtraction because it knew something missed from the test screen. Chimpanzee knew what is the addition because in experiment it could combine two bowl of chocolates and this chocolate quantity is bigger.
This article warn us to be careful thinking about other species especially their intelligence. Many species cause large number of death and we concern them that they have no brains.

Nail house.
This news minded me to think about my thought that I have when I saw this news first time
According to “China home marooned in middle of road is bulldozed '” article, the five floor townhouse in the middle of a new road in China was demolished by bulldozers after the local governor and the owner house completely made new agreement for higher compensation offer. The house took more than a year marooned in the middle of the road.
When I saw this nail house on BBC News last month, I thought that these pictures of the house might be created by the computer graphic professor who would like to make a joke for people, but when I read the article, I found that it is a truth. I amazed that how the owner lived in their nail house without the infrastructure, such as electricity and water.
Moreover, I thought about their safety when the road is used by traffic on because the house stay at the middle of the road and when the driver drive a car passed the house they have to make a half circle around the house.
The owner should rethink carefully about their living standard and their safety before they care about the high compensation offer.

New World
According to "Antarctic lack's clue to alien life", Paul Rincon reports that a specie of bugs is found in extreme conditions such as salt, darkness, low temperature, no oxygen, and separation from our world more than 2800 years.
When technologies and science go together, we will hear various new discoveries. Many extreme creatures are found in extreme atmosphere. They might be not strangers. There might be there before us. We, human, might be intruders who invade their world. Who know?

Because of Weights
According to "Delta and KLM sued over 'too fat to fly' Vilma Soltesz", BBC NEWS reports that Vilma Soltesz who was overweight was refused to fly;however, she died because she refused to be treated kidney disease from local doctor while on her holiday. After she died, her husband, Janos, sued two airlines; Delta and KLM in his lose because his wife paid for two-seat tickets but they did not allow her to fly.
I chose this article because of envy. It is not related with the article. It is because of my colleague who got a scholarship from my organization. He was overweight while I was working there. That is the only one problem that causes him can not fly to study aboard. In this year, I heard that he has attempted to burn his calories and he is able to succeed it. As a result, next year, he will fly to study aboard. It is really jealous, isn't it?

The Truth after 8 Years
I don’t know why Palestinians want to find the truth after he was death for 8 years.
The BBC Middle East article “Yasser Arafat's remains exhumed in murder inquiry” reported that many Palestinians and Arafat’s widow, Suha, have suspected the truth of Arafat’s death after he passed away 8 years ago. They believed his death might cause by poisoning assault. The experts exhumed some example of his remained from his tomb to investigate the cause of the death by sent multination experts which are Swiss, French and Russian the example of his body to find the truth.
In my point of view, I didn’t have any idea for this topic, but I strongly belief that Palestinians might have other reasons behind the truth.
I guessed that they might need some causes to lead Palestinian people fighting with Israeli because some of them belief that Yasser Arafat was poisoned by Israeli.

Cluster Bombs Landed On Playground.
There is nothing worth more than life.
According to “Syria cluster bomb attack 'kills 10 children'” article, the journalists reported the tragedy which 10 children were killed by cluster bomb on which were dropped the playground beside the village, and that the Syria government was convicted by an opposition activist network that they ordered the airstrike to attack rebel headquarters by using the cluster bombs.
In my point of view, there was very sad to hear this news and I would criticize the Syria government to use the cluster bomb on the civil war which this weapon will contain small bombs, and releases them in the air. After the small bombs are released, they will be erupted above the target areas. Therefore, the constructions might demolish and hundreds people might dead or get serious wound, if the cluster bombs land on a village.
