Millions of people in Africa region are facing starvation because of failed harvests and the global increases in the price of food, an aid agency warned today. The poverty fighting organization warned that millions of people in Ethiopia were facing starvation. The country's February harvest failed due to the worst drought in years. The Ethiopian government estimates that “4.6million people” need emergency food aid.
Africa usually get two rainy seasons a year but many areas have had inadequate rainfall for more than 12 months. Some rain has fallen in the region recently but the charity said it was either too little or too late to ensure a harvest later this year.
Dams and water tanks need to be repaired, water trucked in and seeds and veterinary medicines supplied, to ensure no more crops or livestock are lost.
Many agencies, including Action Aid, are already delivering aid much more is needed during the coming months.
This is a serious problem.I think,African goverment needs new measures.Otherwise, this problem can not stop.

I read an article about a croc this week.
A new prehistoric croc sporting an odd head "shield" has been found in Morocco, paleontologists say.
A piece of ShieldCroc's skull landed in Canada's musium in the early 2000s, but Holliday and colleagues have only recently studied the specimen and its odd headpiece.
It's difficult to determine what purpose the shield served when the animal lived, some 99 million years ago, Holliday noted.
But after rigorous evaluation of the fossil and studies of comparative behaviors with modern crocodilians, scientists suggest the shield may have helped ShieldCroc regulate its temperature and communicate with other ShieldCrocs.
I was surprised that the scientists have reserched about that deeply.The technology for the latest research is great.

Under a former Native American village in Georgia, deep inside in the U.S., archaeologists say they've found 16th-century jewelry and other Spanish artifacts.These were things that were just astonishing to them. They were made of materials that were unknown and were sometimes in brilliant blue and red colors that were unmatched in the native world.The trove of items—all of which could fit into a shoe box – represents the largest collection of early 16th-century Spanish artifacts ever found in the U.S. interior outside of Florida.
We haven't known everything yet.I think, they can discover new histories and facts more and they might link to other history.

Today, I introduce “The ABC Murders” to you. To tell the truth, this book is not only my favorite book but also the first detective book I read.Although I had never read mystery, I became fan of detective story since I was really surprised at this end.

Do you know a famous detective named Hercule Poirot? He is a main character in books written by Agatha Christie.In this story, four people are killed by a certain rule strangely and an ABC Railway Guide found beside their body. The police arrested a doubtful man and everyone regard these matters as settlement case. However, Poirot thinks a man is not a criminal and he deduces amasing result. Finally,he found out a new criminal.
