Nose Bleeding

Nowadays, nose bleeding can't be underestimated anymore. Doctors these days can predict someone's illness from their nose bleed. Many parents also got worried much seeing their kids nosebleeding. Nosebleeding could be a serious threat or just minor injuries.



Basically, nosebleed is a circumstance where there is a disturbance which makes blood vessels in our nose to break and squirt blood. The blood vessels in our nose are so fragile that even a change in weather could cause nosebleed. The most common nosebleed is from the anterior part of nose.

Here are the causes of nosebleed :
1. traffic accidents, sports (boxing are the most common), and anything that gives nose a considerable damage.
2. sinusitis or nose inflammatory
3. Diseases such as, high blood pressure, hemophillia, etc.

Nosebleeding usually stops by thrombosis. First thing you should do when nosebleeding is squeezing your front nose approximately 3 minutes. If the blood is still coming out, it best to see the doctor. Nosebleeding rarely cause death except if the face artery leaks and blood comes unstoppably from the nose. There's no other way except surgery.

There are several myths about nosebleeding :
1. in 470-410 BC, doctors cast a certain spell to stop nosebleeding
2. betel leaf is being used for ages to stop nosebleeding. scroll over the leaf and insert it to the nose.

Storm Strikes Jupiter

As we all know, storm is a kind of disturbancs in the atmosphere causing strong wind
and changing weather. A windstorm could cause a great loss to the are where the storm strike because it could generates tornadoes.
The strongest storm ever occured on earth is the Camille in 1969. a wind speed so strong (190 mph) across Cuba, Missisipi, until it reached United States caused a massive damage with total loss of 8.4 million dollars.

However, instead of storms on earth, they also occur on other planet. The storms on other planet are no match than on earth. The greatest storm ever recorded is on Jupiter with 348 mph of wind speed. Well, enough power to put a hole onto your body...

The storm was called Little Red Spot (LRS), because from earth, it looks like a little red spot. It occured in 1998 when 2 minor storms crushed each other and then strike the third wave of storm in 2000. LRS has been keeping on increasing its speed until 400 mph. The unique thing about LRS is its colour. It is unreasonably RED coloured !!!


NASA still haven't found the truth yet about this strange phenomenon. They suspect the intensity and wind speed of LRS also carries gaseous materials from the planet's surface and it turns red when ultraviolet ray hits it.

It's a good thing we humans don't live on Jupiter. ^_^
