What do I want to do in the next 10 years

There are many uncertain things in the future, all I can to is keep learning new things.

In order to achieve the goal, the first thing to do is graduate from NTUST. It can show that I already have some skills to live without others. I will keep studying to become graduate student because nowadays in Taiwan college student is very common and I shoud raise to higher level.

Then, I will do some national examinations about stucture engineer, civil engineer and geotechnical engineer. Not only proof that I have the ability but also encourage me study more.

Finally, I maybe found the girl who will company with me next few dacades. We will have a family full of happenies.

Although the movie "2012" told us that the world will be destroyed by sun, I still believe that humans will cover it!

Australian Research Shows Warmer Water Raises Aggression In Fish


New research in Australia has shown that coral reef fish can undergo radical personality changes in warmer water, work that suggests climate change may make some marine species more aggressive. Experiments have been conducted on two species of young damselfish on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, which have shown that water temperatures can alter a fish's behavior.

Comments:

There are lots of impact of global warming, the most common and important impact is causing polar ice to melt, making sea-level rise and many islands will be submerged in the next few decades. However, rising sea temperatures caused by the greenhouse effect, also caused great changes in marine species such as coral reef fish and young damselfish. These are no one would ever pay attention including me because these do not affect our lives.

In fact, the temperature rise will make these fish become more active and more likely to be the target of the predators. In other words, these fish easier to be eaten, making them more difficult to adapt to the environment, the worst of all, causing fish to become extinct.

Perhaps after a few years, the beautiful underwater scenery will no longer exist. So, go Australia now!!

Attractions:

Gyeongbokgung, also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeongbok Palace, is a royal palace located in northern Seoul, South Korea. First constructed in 1394 and reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by theJoseon Dynasty. The name of the palace, "Gyeongbokgung," translates in English as "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven."
Heavily destroyed by the Japanese government in the early 20th century, the palace complex is slowly being restored to its original form prior the destruction. As of 2009, roughly 40 percent of the original number of palace buildings still stand or are being reconstructed.





Cheongwadae (translation: House of the Blue-Tiled Roof or the Blue House, Office of the President of the Republic of Korea) is the executive office and official residence of the South Korean head of state, the President of the Republic of Korea. The Korean name has the literal meaning "house of the blue roof tiles." Cheongwadae is in fact a complex of buildings, built largely in the traditional Korean style with some modern elements.
At present, Cheongwadae consists of the main chancery, the official presidential residence, Yeongbin-gwan (영빈관, 迎賓館) or the State Guest House, the Chunchugwan (춘추관, 春秋館) press hall, and secretariat buildings. The entire complex covers 76,685 pyeong (about 250,000 m²).
