SUPERMOON~There's a big moon on the rise,Earth's satellite to appear larger and brighter on Saturday March 19th.

George Town : This Saturday,March 19th, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years,lighting up the night sky from just 356,577 km away.The full moon will appear bigger and brighter - but there is "no scientific ground" for panic. Universiti Sains Malaysia's (USM) Astronomy Club academic adviser Assoc Prof Dr Chong Hon Yew said the moon would look larger than normal as it will be closer to the Earth.

"Scientifically, there is no such thing as a "Super Moon" but on March 19, you will see a bigger FULL MOON because it's a LUNAR PERIGEE (when the moon's orbit is closest to the earth)."Saturn will also be visible to the naked eye on that night. What is rare is that there will also be a PLANETARY ALIGNMENT on that day," he said yesterday.Dr Chong said a planetary alignment did not mean that all the planets were in a straight line."Mercury,Venus, Mars,Jupiter,Uranus and Neptune will be very close to the sun within a 50degrees angle and this qualifies as a planetary alignment - it's impossible for all the planets to be in a straight line."

He,however,said the planetary alignment would not be visible because it would be in the DAYTIME SKY.A recent online article had claimed that "chaos would ensue" with huge storms, earthquakes,volcanoes and other natural disasters expected to WREAK HAVOC on Earth. Dr Chong says the planets' gravity effect on Earth was "negligible" compared to the effect of the moon and sun's gravity. Geocosmic Centre for Yi Jing Metascience Reserch Malaysia consultant and I-Ching (the Book of Change) expert Dr Chuah Chong Cheng said that even if something BAD were to happen on SATURDAY,it would be RIDICULOUS to blame it on the moon.

"Saturday is the 15th day of the second month of the Chinese lunar calendar and on March 15, or the Ides of March, Julius Caesar was murdered in 44 B.C.,"said Dr Chuah.

What is a HORMONE?

A hormone is a chemical substance produced in the body that controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or organs. Many hormones are secreted by specialized glands such as the thyroid gland. Hormones are essential for every activity of daily living, including the processes of digestion, metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood control. Many hormones,such as the neurotransmitters are active in more than one physical process. Examples of hormones include aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone (ADH), cortisol, erythropoietin, estrogen, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), parathormone, progesterone and testoterone.

A hormone originally denoted a chemical made by a gland for export to another part of the body. Now a hormone is more broadly any chemical, irrespective of whether it is produced by a special gland or not, for export or domestic use, that "controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or organs". The word "hormao" which means "I set the motion" or "I stir up" was used in ancient Greece to covey the "vital principal" of "getting the juices flowing". The word "hormone" was resurrected in 1902 ( not 1906, as the Oxford English Dictionary states ) by the English physiologists Wm. M. Bayliss and Ernest H. Starling who that year reported their discovery of a substance made by glands in the small intestine that stimulated pancreatic secretion. They called the substance "secretin" and dubbed it a "hormone" the first known hormone.

Red Fm's 20K Facebook Frenzy and a chance to catch Taylor Swift "LIVE" in UK has SNOWBALLED to RM$3,000.00!

I still don't think that tomorrow morning at 8:30am, I'm gonna hear my name being called out, the odds are, I just will have to sit and listen to know the result so that my ease of mind is established. I still know that if I am hooked, people would want me to play and sit LONGER and use my phone more, and that's not gonna get me the few thousands I have been hoping for recently. So be it, just go with the flow! And the flow is beckoning me to proceed!

Three times nobody called back, so the money's been snowballed to 3 times the actual amount! I am happy like Terry, because he doesn't have anything to do with it, while I am sitting here waiting and waiting like a nerd, knowing nothing and nothing ever happens around here, at least with my chinese name not being called out. I think the word 'chosen' (various person's been chosed by a panel of judges) has something to do with it, and being not picked, makes me unhappy, and I always brush it out of my mind with a jolly good walk out to buy some supper and dinner!

Tomorrow, another day, another waiting period, endless and endlessly waiting for just three more days to end this torment of suspense on who's the ultimate warrior like the last One!The Winner! is never important, what is important is that I took part and I gain a whole lot of knowledge and experience dealing with computers! Whooaa laaaa.
