Summary :

In an Associated Press (AP) article, India launches first moon mission (2008, October 21);

India launched its first lunar mission on Wednesday (2008 October 15), with hopes of

achieving high resolution images of the moons topography and diving into the international

space race, and the spacecraft carrying Indias first lunar probe is Chandrayaan-1. The

Chandrayaan-1 is carrying payloads from the United States, European Union countries

Germany, Britain, Sweden and Bulgaria, and India plans to share the data from the mission

with other programs, including NASA. In my opinion, this is a great mission because joining

an elite group of nations that have demonstrated such technological and scientific prowess, so

this mission can increase technology and scientific in this world.

Summary :

In a Caty Weaver article, Colds, flu, and folk advice (2008, October 21); autumn and winter

are cold and flu season, when people are most likely to catch the viruses that cause influenza

and the common cold. However, recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause

stress on the body, so it can create conditions more inviting to viruses. Doctor Nelson El

Amin says if you have a cold and are hungry, you should eat, but people are usually not

hungry anyway when they have a high fever, so drinking plenty of liquids is important. In my

opinion, this recent studies helps us to understand about cause and treatment influenza and

tell us that not only with virus can make us be flu but stress is one of causes too.

Helft, M. (2008, October 21). Yahoo to cut about 10 % of workers. Retrieved October 22,

2008, from, The New York Times web page,

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/22/technology/companies/22yahoo.html

Summary :

In a Miguel Helft article, Yahoo to cut about 10 % of workers (2008, October 21); Yahoo was

hurting long before the financial crisis got everyone worried about a global recession. Now

its pain has become more acute so Yahoo dismisses their workers. In my opinion, it will

make many people have a problem with their life, because the Yahoo workers do not have

income to fulfill their necessity.
