This is one of the darn-est things from the animal kingdom. Notice how the squirrel discovered the smoothie and how it drank from the smoothie glass. This is just too cute to be true

Japan tsunami: Baby and soldier reunited as nation mourns | Mail Online

A year after the devastating tsunami that hit Japan, there have been many changes since that day and these few pictures do tell their tales. On 11March 2011, a nation was crippled by the fury of mother nature,  by the next day the same nation that was the victim of a 9.0 Richter scale Tsunami started to recuperate from the disaster.  The Japanese,(regardless to being unknown to each other or are from different social classes) helped each other to continue with their daily live. Words aren't enough to explain the feelings and the situation but it is amazing how the Japanese managed to accomplish so much after the faithful tsunami. It brings out the humanitarian feeling of the highest achievement

BBC - Future - Health - Why do we need to sleep?

This is a very important question, why do we need to sleep?. This is a favourite questions among children below 8. The usual answer that parents give to their children is you are tired and you should go to sleep. Nevertheless children keep on pestering their parents with the question why should I sleep, I don't feel like sleeping.

Parents fear not the answers for this age old question are here

The first answer is sleeping helps we humans to process and to bring together and form new memories. Those who sleep at night are able to recall their knowledge,memories, feelings the next day. By sleeping we can boost up our memory as the brain reconstruct the experience we went through the whole day.

The second answer is by sleeping we can push away all the bad things that happened to us through out the day. When we sleep the brain identifies the bad experience and put it aside so that we don't have to go through those hurtful experience.

The third answer is by sleeping we can experience the good memories by dreaming. We can re live our fun moments in our dream. If the events were extremely fun our dreams. Our dreams are like theatre to our mind.

The final answer is sleeping helps you to recuperate your body from all the activities we did during the day.

BBC News - Earworms: Why songs get stuck in our heads

Ever felt a song is stuck in your head and no matter where you are and any situation the same song with be played in your head over and over again. Though it is nice but sometimes it can be annoying especially when concentrating on work. Well the reason for the song in your head is here. Earworm as it is officially know is the song stuck in your brain.

The song that is heard for the first time will be registered in one's brain and when it's heard multiple times then it will be stuck.Sometimes a song will suddenly be pooped in even if one hasn't heard the song for a long time. This is due to the current environment and feelings that trigger the involuntary memory. Another reason why a earworm poops in is stress. It is reported that if a person is stressed up, a familiar song will be played in one's mind in order to calm him or her down.

The reasons for earworms are; music is a multi-sensory stimulus, music is often encoded in a personal and emotional way (anything encoded with personal connotations is recalled as memory) and music is often used to remember instructions, informations, locations and warnings.

The best way to get ride a certain earworm is to listen to another song many times, but it might poop up again base on one's situation.

Arsenal 3 AC Milan 0 | The Sun |Sport|Football

Arsenal managed to score 3 wonderful goals in the Emirates but as fate has predicted they were out of the Champion''s League. Although the game in Emirates was brilliant but it was too late for the Gunners. For the first time since Arsenal lost the likes of Cesc and Nasi, the Arsenal players were hungry and took control of the whole game from the start of the of the match.

Every single ball was controlled by Arsenal except for a few lost concentration seconds. Arsenal managed to prove they can perform impossible mission but s mentioned earlier,it was too late for them. If they played with the same attitude in the San Siro maybe things would be so much different. There ere no serious problems at the back of the team with the 4 defenders covering the counter attacks, the only problem was the front. At times the wingers were causing a lot of difficulties for the AC Milan's defence but most of Arsenal's attack came from the central midfield. It is time that some players should be kicked off from the team as the income from selling these unwanted players, the manager can buy world class forwards and mid fielders that can score goals. The manager has been promise 100 million pounds to spend in the summer and has promised to sell a lot of unwanted players. Finally the manager has realised that he needs a few strong forwards to support the current captain and to score as many goals as possible.

From this game, the Arsenal Players will realise is bout to them to change the whole game and by playing with a positive all out attack they can win most of their domestic games. For the Gunner Fans, they can now rest assure that the team they support can win titles provided the players play with the same positive attitude. For the manager, it is hoped that he has finally realised it is high time to kick off certain non-committed players and buy new players that can support the team better and stronger.

BBC News - China lock-down seals off Tibetan unrest

What are the Chinese Ruling Party hiding from the world? Might it be nuclear weapons or illegal weapons storage area or maybe DNA Research Facilities. All these possible answers might be in Tibet and that's the reason why Tibet is on lock down mode. What can be so secretive that Beijing has exiled the Dalai Lama, Buddhist Monks set themselves on fire, poured in security forces and cut all form of communication with the outside world. It is reported that before burning themselves, these Monks and Nuns say "Long live his holiness Dalai Lama", "Let the Dalai Lama return to Tibet" and "Freedom for Tibet". Clearly this is a cry for help to the world to free Tibet from China. If Beijing is not hiding anything then why not give Tibet freedom and recognise Tibet as a country. The world has watched the situation and more and more are aware what's happening.
