It has been argued that banning smoking in all public places is another example of the way the government uses health and safety issues as a cover for introducting increasingly tight control over people's lives, so argument goes, people should be free to do what they like so long as this does not harm other citizens. It is also asserted that forbidding smokers from pursuing their habit to public places is an infringement of their democratic rights and is discriminatory (Black, 1993).

The bar chart compares the average rainfall and actual rainfall which was recorded in Melbourne over the last six months, from May to October 2014. Overall, it can be seen from the chart that the average rainfall was higher than the actual one, except in June 2014.
In May 2014, the average rainfall stood at around 55 mm, while at the same time, the real rainfall was noted at about 35 mm.

Cockroaches and Dry Weather
The picture illustrates how common shining cockroaches turn up in bathrooms of people's homes. Overall, it can be seen that most cockroaches migrate to the humid places when the outside conditions and weather continue to be dry.
To begin with, during the dry conditions, gardeners collect mulch in order to keep the soil being moist. In mulch, cockroaches live and survive. Owing to dry weather continued, cockroaches look for the wet places, then move to toilets in the houses, through either pipelines or ground toward air ventilation hole.
Besides common shinning cockroaches, there are other bugs such as lerps, aphids, common butterflies and bush flies which also appear in because their nutrients concentrate in abnormal plants. In addition to that, in the same conditions, bush flies end up from the nothern winds. (RP-DAR)
The picture illustates how common shining cockroach move from outside the house to the bathroom. There are various stages, beginning from mulch that contain of cockroach is taken to the garden until the cockroach come to the bathroom.
Firstly, in a dry weather, the gardener takes mulch to the garden near the house in order to reduce evaporation. The cockroaches that live in the mulch are also brought to the garden. If the dry weather continuing for a long time, the cockroaches try to find another humid place that is conducive to live in. As a results, the cockroaches migrate to the bathroom through the pipeline and thrive in the humid damp conditions.
Besides the cockroaches, the mulch also contains other bugs such as lerps, aphids, butterflies and bush flies. Thus, in a long dry season those kind of bugs are also apppear in the garden. (RO-FH-R)

Icy Moon Explorer Gets Glacial Test New Scientist Magazine – 26 July 2014
This article explores the detailed
investigation of one Jupiter’s Galilean satelites (Ganymede, Europa, and
Callisto), which are believed to harbour sub surface water oceans. Europa, also
alled the icy moon, is expected a place of icy worlds in planetary systems in
general. Microbes are found on the surface of Europa, but some deny that new
discovery and state that it could be false. Until now, Europa is still the
madin focus for auter space study. Furthermore, U$D 15 million is allocated for
the 2015 federal budget for NASA to establich
the validity of the working hypothesis for europa.
Experienced experts will travel to
investigate the icy moon by on special huge rocket which can shorten accelerate
the expedition time from about six years to two. In addition, cryobots,
ice-melting vehicles carrying scientific instruments deep into the ice, are
designed to aid the scientific journey. The other instrument is VALKYRIE, which
is to spread smaller robots carried inside the water to capture the sea floor
and check for signs of life.
If that research on the outer planet
is successful, it will be a crucial milestone of space science.RP

A GLIMPSE OF LIFE ON THE ROAD By : Kitra Cahana – TEDTALKS.Com Published : April 2014
Kitra
Cahana delivered a story of nomadic society in the US. As a documentary
photographer, kitra saw the daily reality of wandering people living in the US.
This picture is the imagination of her childhood. To feel life as a child
traveling is fully interesting for her.
Lives
of fellow wanderers across uncle Sam Country has accompanied her worklife.
Documenting a different kind of American dream lived by young hobos and tramps
opens her mind to the vagabonds fiercely alive in their own way. There are some
reasons for why they do this primary needs, unworthy jobs, and adolescent
runaways escaping abuse are some reasons.
By day, they tramp through the railroad and asphalt
lanes, while after twiglight, they sleeping beneath the stars which some called
the numberless stars hotel, totally different from five star hotel. Eating out
of trash cans and trying to pick up seasonal jobs here and there every now and
then are part of their life. There will always be an element of society who
lives on the open road to fight tooth and nail to (stand up for their basic
needs (fullfil). RP
