Global Warming
Global Warming is one of hottest topic recently. Since last year, I could feel the weather has much different then used to be. For example, Northern California usually begin to snowfall after Thanksgiving about beginning of November, but in this year, it started to fall snow at beginning of January; furthermore, the weather in the bay area usually stop raining after March, but now weather report shows the climate still has chance to rain in next few weeks. Therefore, the seasons have not become as normal as before, and I understand that global warming is a serious problem that can’t neglect it.
When I start to concern the problems of global warming, I recognized that it is not only the weather becomes unpredictable, but also it causes the damage of economy from the global warming. Some scholars think because of global warming is mainly reason to increase the temperature of sea surface. The first requirement of becoming a hurricane is that the temperature of the sea surface must be up to 26 degrees Celsius. There is no creditable evident to show that higher temperature of sea surface can increase the number of hurricanes became, but some people believed that when the temperature of sea surface reach up to 26 degrees Celsius can cause the number of destructiveness of the hurricanes becoming major hurricanes (category 4 and up) has increased. So there have some relationship between destructiveness of hurricanes and economy losses, for example, the hurricane Katrina made the Unite State lost $81.2 billion dollars in 2005, and this number only showed the cost of damage when that time. The estimated number didn’t include the intangible such as people could not continue to wok after Katrina hurt; also government had to set up a budget to aid people to settle down.
This problem is only a comer of iceberg, and more troubles like the sea level has risen because of the global warming. The prediction shows Manhattan will vulnerable to flooding about 1 meter (3 feet) by 2100. Even though some countries will disappear and the governments have to decide to abandon their grounds and to move another land or countries; in addition, it is because the temperature of the Earth goes up and mortify the climate system, the agriculture patterns changed. According the studying, the percentage of rainfall in the area of tropic is getting less, but the countries of toward poles are gaining rainfall increasingly. So the people in tropical countries can not produce enough major food, which is rice, with only little rainfall; poleward countries like

Jubii
Jubii, already popular in
The kinds of web service that Jubii provides will become a trend in the future, because it’s more convenient for users who don’t need to install any software in their PCs or laptops. I have used online messaging services for several years, from ICQ to MSN, which has done a fabulous job of bridging the distance between people by providing them with an easy tool for chatting with each other. When I’m using my computer at home, there are no problems or restrictions placed on my using instant messaging. However, there is one popular website which provides users with even more options: Meebo.com. It’s a website that allows users to sign into and chat simultaneously on different web messengers such as AIM, Yahoo, Google talk, MSN, or Meebo itself. However, all these service providers that I have only support instant messaging function, while Jubii also provides even more services.
Compared to having to install several software programs into the computers, it will be much more convenient to subscribe to Jubii’s services instead, which can provide you with many more functions than just simple instant messaging. Jubii is a very hot system in

Video Games
“When people play action games, they’re changing the brain’s pathway responsible for visual processing” said Daphne Bavelier, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the
It’s really interesting topic to me, because I think people seem the video games have the bad influence for player, such as wasting time for playing too much games or affecting the eye sight. After this news released, it’s not only give the good reason to play game, but also will encourage people to buy more games. The consequence, the both game companies and game software companies will increase the amount of sale on game stations such PlayStation 3, Wii and XBOX. I think it will be a strategy to apply for putting more money to do research and finding the positive feedback to growth the company's revenue.
