United Airlines Plane Hits Strong Turbulence

United Airlines Hit TurbulenceA United Airlines plane going from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles hit a very large turbulence while on air, rocking its passengers and injuring 22 of them, along with 4 flight attendants. Because of the tremendous turbulence, the plane had to land on another airport, the Denver International Airport.

A passenger, Kaoma Bechaz, describes it best when she stated that the whole thing was just a very large up and down. When it landed at the Denver International Airport, the airport officials set up a special place for the plane and its passengers to apply first aid to the injured.

The injured passengers were distributed among five major hospitals, the Aurora South Medical Center, and Children’s Hospital were among them. Majority of the injuries were not serious, and consisted of sprains, strains, whiplash injuries and bruises. According to Eric Tade, who is a spokesman for the Denver Fire Department, there was one who suffered major injuries and was seriously hurt.

According to a passenger, when they were on air, they first hit a small turbulence which was not a big deal, but right after, a huge turbulence struck them, and people were screaming. Still the flight attendants were quick to calm down the confused and terrified passengers.

As an illustration, there are blogs which talk about how to make bombs.

Honda to Develop Strong Hybrid Cars for 2012

Honda to Develop Strong Hybrid Cars for 2012Honda Motor Corporation will join the race of the world’s biggest car manufacturing companies which are planning to create strong hybrid cars. These hybrid cars will serve as alternatives to cars which use a depleting fuel source and are contributory to global warming and therefore its harmful effects. Honda has already planned to develop a strong hybrid car which will be released in the market by 2012, much like it’s competitors.

This hybrid car is a plug-in hybrid and battery electric model car which is a stronger version of its mild hybrid car. The former mild hybrid cars which were developed a decade ago, are gasoline-electric cars which were not successful in the market at all.

In fact, other companies such as Volkswagen AG and Hyundai Motor Corp are aiming at these old Honda models and showing that their cars are more efficient and are stronger as hybrid cars. According to Takanobu Ito, the chief executive of Honda, the company plans to sell battery-powered electric model cars and plug-in hybrid vehicles by 2012.

These cars will be initially sold in the United States and Japan. On the other hand, Honda’s rival, Toyota, will release a plug-in hybrid car next year. This shows that the technology level of Toyota is way better than Honda.

BP Seal Gets 24 More Hours from US Government

BP Oil Spill DeadlineThe United States Government allowed BP to keep its well sealed for testing for another 24 hours. This means that the government allows BP to continue its integrity test despite the most recent anomalies which were observed around the well. So far, however, the sealing process has been a success, keeping oil from leaking out of the well for almost a week now, in what has become the first good news since the tragedy occurred.

Now, the latest reports show the presence of methane surrounding the well, and a recorded seep during Sunday morning. These irregularities are the first since the well was sealed successfully, and may affect the testing severely.

Still, Thad Allen, the National Incident commander, has allowed BP to continue for one more day. On the other hand, Allen and his crew will continue to deeply monitor the situation, looking for the slightest hints of malfunctions and any indication that the sealing will only make the situation worse.

BP is also monitoring the situation broadly, and is collaborating with the United States government to gather data and analyze whether the information obtained calls for the sealing to remain, or be taken away, allowing oil to spill out once more to the already vastly damaged Gulf.

Lady GaGa vs. Westboro Baptist Church

Lady Gaga vs Westboro ChurchLady GaGa’s creating a new web buzz this week. After posting a note on her Facebook page addressed to the Westboro Baptist Church, the said group was not a big fan of hers. She said “that the groups of protesters are all hate criminals; they preach using lewd violent language and imagery that I wish to protect you all from. Their message is about hatred and divisiveness, but inside at the Monsterball we preach love and unity.”

The Westboro Baptist Church is an Independent Baptist Church and a hate group that was founded by Fred Phelps in 1955. Their headquarters is located in Topeka, Kansas, United States. This group is famous for their anti-homosexuality and protest activities, picketing stints at funerals and desecrating the American Flag.

For those of you wondering why Lady GaGa is going gaga over this group… they were at the Monsterball concert last Saturday night at ST. Louis’ Scottrade Center waving their placards with the “God hates Lady GaGa” signs.

They believe that Lady GaGa uses her art and fashion to teach and promote rebellion against God. Lady GaGa ended her note with these words of wisdom: “Although I respect and do not judge anyone for their personal views on any politics or religion, this group in particular to me is violent and dangerous. I wanted to make my fans aware of my views on how to approach, or rather not approach, these kinds of hate activists.”

How Facebook Handles Dead Members

Facebook Handling Dead MembersFacebook users who have died sometimes come up in the notifications box, urging other users to reconnect with them. For the loved ones who receive this kind of notification, it can be comforting to see their faces again, but often times and usually in the end, they will feel sad about it. Sometimes, it can be weird and even disturbing. This is the dilemma that Facebook is facing about how it deals with its dead members.

According to Meredith Chin, a spokeswoman for Facebook, this topic is a very sensitive one, and that they cannot keep up with the number of Facebook members who dies every day, in as much as they can’t keep up with the number of new users that come in every day.
There was a time in the past where most of the Facebook users belong to the younger generation. However, this has all changed, and in fact, around 6.5 million people over 65 have signed up on Facebook for the month of May. This is of course the age where people have the highest mortality rate, so Facebook will have an even harder time dealing with this concern.

Before, Facebook simply deleted the profiles when they learned that the person who owned that is dead. Now, they allow special memorial profiles for people who have died, where people can still comment but no longer receive notifications, among others.

New Hope for BP Oil Spill with Cap Success

BP Oil Cap SuccessFor the first time, a cap has successfully sealed the gushing of oil from the Macondo well of BP. It is not entirely over, as there are still complications as expected. A lot of lawsuits are still pending and created, the environment is still affected severely, plants and animals are dying as millions of gallons of oil are still floating in the gulf, and even the cap is not really the permanent solution to the stopping of oil flow.

The permanent solution would be to cement the leak, but this will not be realized until after several weeks more. Indeed, the Gulf of Mexico is still in its peril. However, the success of the new cap that was installed on top of the leak is an indication that all hope is not lost. We have only heard about negative news regarding the BP oil spill until now.

For the 3rd straight day, no oil has spilled out from the Macondo leak, and the Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen has permitted BP to allow the cap to remain for another day before it will taken out again. In fact, the cap will not be installed permanently. It was just installed to perform a test, and BP will go back to the containment process.

NIH Vaccine for HIV Out in the Market Soon

NIH Vaccine for AIDS to be ReleasedResearchers at the NIH Vaccine Research Center has found a way that and AIDS vaccine can really be available to AIDS patients real soon. The study revealed that the blood of an HIV infected person is capable of producing two powerful antibodies that can neutralize up to 91% of the HIV virus strains. Peter D. Kwong released an official statement that “We have proof that and AIDS vaccine is on the way…” Dr. Kwong is the chief of Structural Biology at the NIH Center.

It’s been a few decades since doctors and scientists started to study and research for a cure if not a cure, a vaccine for the deadly AIDS virus. They’re experimenting this and that, what they didn’t know is that the human body itself can produce its own antibodies that can protect itself from the virus.

According to Dr. Kwong’s team, it may take a while before they can produce the vaccine. But the fact that they found out how to produce a vaccine, that’s a big breakthrough! Can you imagine a HIV patient waiting for this vaccine, what he doesn’t know is that the vaccine is in his system already. Some of you may wonder, how come the antibodies doesn’t work right before the virus multiplies?

Dr. Kwong informed: “The problem is that the antibodies appear naturally only long after HIV has established a death grip on the body. Because the virus replicates often and mutates quickly, people don’t just carry a single strain of HIV — their blood swarms with a vast number of HIV “quasi-species.” By the time a person develops neutralizing antibodies, the virus has had time to evolve escape variants.” The solution then is to have yourselves vaccinated once the vaccine is out in the market. All we have to do is wait.
