What Was The Meteorogical Event Of 13Aug

Shooting stars, a reliable event every year, as the earth passes through the debris from the Swift-tuttle comet. However because it appears that the meteor shower hails from Perseid constellation it is called the Perseids.

The most spectacular view was last night, with an intense show of one per minute, this was best seen in the northern hemisphere around 11pm. If you missed it, don't despair there is still plenty of time to make several wishes, as the display does not cease until 22nd August.

Just look to the North Eastern sky, there is a full moon so the edge is taken of the brightness of the stars, best that can be hoped for is cloud over the moon with clear sky's towards Perseid.

Happy star gazing.

How Smokers Can Lower Cancer Risk

New study, reveled that those who smoke 30 minutes after waking up increase their chances of getting cancer by almost 80%, over those that wait at least an hour. In another related study, the calculated risk factor was 58%.
It is uncertain why this is, Dr Joshua Muscar, lead researcher, sermonizes that perhaps, "These smokers have higher levels of nicotine and possibly other tobacco toxins in their body, and they may be more addicted than smokers who refrain from smoking for a half hour or more."

Then Cancer Research UK's Professor Robert West added saying: "Smokers who light up soon after waking tend to smoke each cigarette more intensively. So the most likely explanation of this finding is that the sooner a smoker lights up, the more smoke is taken into the lungs, and the higher the level of exposure to cancer causing chemicals."

"This may help estimating levels of tobacco exposure more than just looking at the usual daily cigarette consumption."

Not that it is an excuse to smoke, but for the smokers out there this is useful information.
