Moon looking younger than ever

The moon is 4.36 billion years old, up to 200 million years younger than thought, according to the analysis of lunar rocks.

The estimate, reported in Thursday's issue of Nature, comes from a new dating of isotopes of lead and neodymium found in samples of ferroan anorthosite, a crustal rock that derives from magma.

A common theory for the origin of the moon is that it was created by an impact between a large planet-sized object and the nascent Earth.

The molten material, or magma, that was ejected from this giant collision progressively cooled, hardening into Earth's rocky, barren and airless satellite.

'The extraordinarily young age of this lunar sample either means that the moon solidified significantly later than previous estimates, or that we need to change our entire understanding of the moon's geochemical history,' said Richard Carlson of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington.

If the estimate is right, it implies that the oldest crusts on both Earth and moon formed at roughly the same time, both of them shortly after the big smashup.

The dating concurs with a similar age estimate for zircons found in Western Australia that are the oldest terrestrial minerals found.

Grand Epic Online to Officially Launch CB on April 27

Grand Epic Online(GEO), an innovative 2.5D browser MMORPG presented by Run Up Information Technology Corp, is to launch its CB at 10:00 p.m. April 27^th EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), by which the register service and game access will be available again from the short break after a trial test last week.

As a browser game, this innovative MMORPG introduces real-time action fighting with certain technical breakthroughs made, which received wild popularity during its trial test run during April 20^th to 23^rd.

Originally, the limit of players allowed in the trial test was set at 500 until its operating team realized there were even a couple more hundreds of players lining in the queue and feared the action of setting player number limit could irritate those who saw the ads and followed in, yet did not get to access the game and resulted in hating the game instead. Apparently, every nerve of GEO’s operating team was challenged by the unexpected flow-in of players.

Besides real-time action fighting mode, there are a couple more things worth mentioning in this game. In addition to quest navigation and pet/mount system, GEO seems to be delivering a complexity in the player’s continuous growth, with a number of giddy oriental philosophic concepts being used to provide various ways to enhance the character’s power, such as reincarnation, dual immortal practice, and enlightenment, each offering a specific way of self-strengthening. This just could be a really fun keeper, because it offers almost unlimited chances of power growth.

There are many other intriguing details that await players to explore. And as its name implies, Grand Epic Online may be able to offer a fresh gaming experience to MMO lovers.

The First HD Vision Browser MMORPG – Grand Epic Online

With over three years of game creation process, all characters and maps were sketched up according to 3D standard. Grand Epic Online just has one aim, to provide players a brand new browser-based MMORPG with cool skill releasing effect, lifelike character action, delicacy and smooth screen displaying.

No need download. Just register a Gamemily passport ID to enjoy a 3D browser-based game with HD vision effect that only client games provided before.

Add bookmark of http://geo.gamemily.com and come to take an experience yourself once Grand Epic Online launches. It’s coming soon.

Intense PvP Experience in Grand Epic Online

This is not a simple browser game full of monster killing and questing. A talent gaming system encourages players to take PvP experience in real-time mode. Notice it? Not turn-based but real-time combat with keyboard and mouse.

Release one pet to help. It may look cute but with powerful attacking ability that is not cute at all. A mount is a talent choice to move fast while attacking and defending. High level mount may give unbelievable support. If these two assistants cannot satisfy you, we have another secret helper, the trump, which is immortal. It will only upgrade and never die, no matter how fierce your opponent is.

How to attack with skill, when to skip to avoid being hurt, choose which pet, which mount, which trump to help, these are decisions players should make themselves because this is what Grand Epic Online wishes, show others how talented you are. A tiny girl can always be the champion here, too.

How To Troubleshoot Your Telephones

Telephone is one of the most important tools in communications at home. It is very frustrating if your phone is not working especially if you are using it for business.

You may be able to fix your telephone problem by conducting a quick equipment check. By doing this, you can also determine if the fault is caused by one of your privately-maintained equipment or private wirings inside the house. It will avoid you as well of some call out fee or service charge of sending a technician according to the policy of your service provider.


HOW TO DO AN EQUIPMENT CHECK?

Check how many phone sockets do you have inside your house or inside the premise. Simply unplug all equipments from all these phone sockets. This may include telephones, fax, modems, filters, answering machines, alarms, extensions and ringers. Wait 10 seconds then plug only one working phone back into the socket by itself. It is better to use a normal or standard phone because cordless phone causes cross-talking.

Check for dial tone. If there is no dial tone, unplug the phone and try it in another phone socket. Check again for dial tone. If there is still no dial tone, try another handset on the same phone socket. If the line is still dead, it means that there is a possible fault in the line. Call your service provider's customer service or technical support to log a fault report.


NOISY LINE

For noisy line like crackling, humming, buzzing or whirring noise but there is a dial tone, doing an equipment check will help you determine what is causing the noise. If you are using a lot of equipments especially internet related (modems, fileters and splitters), unplugging all of them and trying only one phone to the socket usually solved the problem. You have to plugged back in one equipment at a time to pinpoint which equipment is causing the noise and have it replaced or repaired.

SYNOPSIS


Within the ever changing universe, the calm world is separated into several realms: Human, Demon, Asura, Infernal, Heavenly, and the unknown Chaos.

Unbeknownst to the various realms, a being called the God of Chaos, emerged to propagate his doctrine of the world where, "No rule cannot be broken, everything can be twisted." This God of Chaos caused much turmoil with all the paths crossing through one another. This event caused the boundaries of the realms to suddenly close and the realms were unable to return to their original state. This broke the stability within the realms and an endless war ensued. The world nearly collapsed under this turmoil.

The heroes from each realm began to ponder a solution to open the boundaries between each realm, in order to correct the problems that the God of Chaos created and to return the realms back to normal. However the strongest heroes of the realms were lost since the closing of the boundaries. Thus, the problem of how to find the boundaries of the realms and how to open them, become a more difficult puzzle to solve. At this crucial and dire moment in time, several virtuous heroes stepped forward to take on the challenge as they were unaffected by the doctrine of the God of Chaos. Join them as they fight strong enemies and take on the heavy burden of expelling the God of Chaos in order to regain control of this chaotic land! Embrace your ETERNAL DESTINY!
