WHEN WILL EARTH DIE?
As you have already seen, the very existence of the Earth, and all the other planets in the solar system, depends upon the sun. You have seen how the sun provides enormous amounts of energy by the change of the gas hydrogen into the gas helium.But as with other 'engine' the fuel, that is the hydrogen, must slowly be used up. When this happens, as has already occurred with millions of other stars, the Sun will collapse and explode. The explosion will totally destroy the Earth and its neighbours. There is no need to worry unnecessarily, will be at least another 5000 million years before the Sun explodes.

ALFRED NOBLE"S ACHIEVEMENT
We have probably heard of the six famous Noble prizes, awarded every year to the people who have made outstanding contributions to medicine, physics, chemistry, literature, economics and peace. Alfred Noble was made famous because he invented dynamite in 1867. It seems a little odd. A peace prize bearing the name of the inventor of dynamite!

QUOTABLE QUOTES
Life's a roller coaster, and you never know when it's going to take a turn.
TY PENNINGTON
The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.
MARILYN SMITH
Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
SCOTT ADAMS
Gossip is just news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress.
LIZ SMITH
Making a movie is like moving a piano. You are gonna get banged up.
BILL MURRAY
Being an icon is overblown. Remember an icon is moved by a mouse.
WILLIAM SHATNER
One of the few articles of clothing that a man won't try to remove from a woman is an apron.
MARILYN VOS SAVANT
A person without regrets is a nincompoop.
MIA FARROW
Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window- or break down a door.

SOME FENG SHUI TIPS
Never place a mirror facing the main door of your house as all good luck will be reflected back and escape out of the door.
Mirrors in the bedroom especially those facing the bed are very unlucky and can even cause a divorce.
Toilet doors should always be kept closed as there is a lot of negative energy in the toilets. Keep a bowl full of salt in every toilet to absorb the negative energy.
It is auspicious to mop your house daily with salt water.
Brooms must be kept hidden as the brooms exposed to view are inauspicious.

HOW TO SOLVE A PROBLEM
Have a firm faith that for every problem, there is a solution.
Keep calm, tension blocks the flow of thought. Your brain cannot operate efficiently under stress.
Don't try to force an answer.
Keep your mind relaxed.
Solution will come on surface automatically.
Assemble all facts on paper. This makes the position clear.
Solution may be found in the roots of problem itself.
Pray to god for enlightenment to solve the problems.
