Cholrae Breakout

A Cholrae outbreak in Nigeria has killed over 1500 people. This has been the worst outbreak in recent years. Over 40, 000 people have been affected but so far only 1500 actually died. This is very sad because this is only one disease out of hundreds that are killing them.

What is the proper solution for this?

Death toll rises in the Philippines from Typhoon Megi

If you are not aware, there is a typhoon going on in southern Asia.

    On Tuesday, Megi carried sustained winds of about 104 mph off the coast of the Philippines in the South China Sea. With this being said the death toll has risen in this area. However you would be surprise that out of the 11 confirmed deaths that only 1 has been a drowning. The rest have been fallen trees or lightning related deaths.

    A huge concern is that the typhoon could approach Hong Kong and mainland China in the next few days. Megi could bring heavy rain to already-drenched areas such as Hainan and Vietnam, where state media said at least 20 people have died from recent flooding.

What do you think the effect will be on the economy of these Asian countries? Or could the US be affected by this typhoon?

Trapped Miners for ride to Freedom- After 2 months!

As I have kept up with the miners who are trapped in the mine shaft in San Jose Mine, Chile. The 33 miners have been trapped for about 2 months in the mine. Tuesday (10/12/10) the miners will be brought to the surface one by one in green overalls bearing their names on their chest; first the fittest, then the weakest, twisting in a steal cage that proven itself with four flawless test runs. No one knows the order in which the miners will be coming up in. The miners will be going straight to a medic to be examined immediately and if nothing is an emergency then they will be able to meet with their families. It will take each miner 20-45 mins to reach the surface.

What will be the reaction of the miners when they reach the surface and have to deal with family and media?

King Tut's grandfather still lives?

In Egypt a limestone portion of King Tut's grandfather was dug up. Scientists says Amenhotep III(Grandfather) was a very wealthy king and took on many projects. Only half of the statue was recovered, there is still a lot of digging that needs to be done.

It seems like every year new discoveries are being made. I think there are a lot of valuable items and information still out there that needs to be found. SO do you think there is more valuable things in Egypt to be discovered?
