when the accident
happens.Unfortunately,
many cars, especially the
old ones, don't have seat
belts. This is because the
traffic conditions in the past
were unlike the recent
traffic conditions. The
designer of old cars didn't
consider a seat belt as an
important part. Besides, the
drivers wearing the seat
belt will think that they are
completely safe, so they
may drive carelessly. They
are safe, indeed, but how
about safety of other?The
seat belt is only one of the
ways to reduce the risk of
car accidents. It doesn't
mean that we are
completely safe In short,
our safety depends on
ourselves. "... that they are
completely safe."

@ Dipindai dengan CamScannerEcologists commented that
HSN 1 virus still remains a
bird virus and has no
scientific evidences of
human-to-human
transmission. They said
there are billions of people
across Asia which only 118
are reported being affected
by avian flu. So, how do
they calculate to show that
150 million or more deaths
will come from avian flu.
The global panic, according
to the Ecologist, is the
result of “scare tactics"
created by politicians,
medical officers, and the

Should performance
enhancing drugs be
accepted in sports?The
issue of using drugs to
enhance athlete's
performance is
controversial. Those who
agree to the use of drugs in
enhancing performance say
that most top players in all
sports take drugs to train
harder and feel no pain
during play. The trainers,
sports doctors,
nutritionists,
physiotherapists, and
managers of the big names
make sure banned
substances are taken at the
safest and most efficient

There are differences of
opinions on the Avian Flu.
Some said this disease may
claim 150 million deaths
but there are others who
said current alarm on avian
flu is unwarranted as there
is no proof of spreading
between humans.According
to United Nation's chief
coordinator on bird flu said
150 million or more could
die from the disease, if a
pandemic strike. One of the
frightening issues for a
human flu pandemic arising
from avian influenza is its
unpredictability. It is difficult
to estimate the death toll
should H5N1 virus mutates
into a form. Which can be
easily transmitted between
human. It is not possible to
predict whether a pandemic
