On March 19^th 2011, the moon will make its closest approach to Earth in almost 20 years, possibly triggering earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other disasters, claims astrologer Richard Nolle.
The phenomenon, called lunar perigee or Supermoon, happens when the moon reaches its absolute closest point to Earth. On March 19, the natural satellite will be only 221,567 miles away from our planet.

There were Supermoons in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005, and these years had their share of extreme weather conditions, too. Although there are scientific laws that say the moon affects the Earth, it's still ambiguous whether the lunar perigee and natural disasters is coincidence or not.

Two days after online warnings that the Supermoon might trigger disasters, the devastating Japanese tsunami forced everyone to think - could the movement of the moon cause natural calamities?

"Supermoons have a historical association with strong storms, very high tides, extreme tides and also earthquakes," the Daily

A newly released video shows a 360-degree view of the smoking towers from the vantage point of a NYPD helicopter, soon afterward the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attack .

Taken from a police helicopter hovering above the doomed towers, the video is part of a cache of information from the attack handed over to the National Institute of Standards and Technology under the US Freedom of Information Act.

Although the 16-minute clip doesn't show the collapse of the first tower, it does record the officers' reaction immediately afterwards.

Only police helicopters were allowed in the airspace near the skyscrapers, and the officers were the only ones shooting images from above.

How many times have you walked on the road and had a deja vu experience with people's faces. Let's face it, many people look like many people!

Keeping this in mind, National Geographic has come up with the most common looking face in the world. Take a look at this report:

National Geographic Magazine released a video clip, below, showing the most "typical" human face on the planet as part of its series on the human race called "Population 7 billion."

The researchers conclude that a male, 28-year-old Han Chinese man is the most typical person on the planet. There are 9 million of them.

The image above is a composite of nearly 200,000 photos of men who fit that description.

But here comes the most interesting observation they have made:

Don't get used to the results, however. Within 20 years, the most typical person will reside in India.

And now, your thoughts!

Ending months-long speculations that Nissan is readying a 'Micra Sedan', the carmaker has unveiled its all-new Global Sedan at the 8th China International Automobile Exhibition. The new sedan, Nissan Sunny, will be built on Nissan's versatile 'V' platform, but is not a Micra sedan.  Sunny will be launched in India in the second half of 2011. However, the name Sunny is only for China market and its name in India is yet to be finalized, Nissan says.

The new sedan will be powered by the 1.5-liter HR15DE engine with dual injectors and a new-generation Xtronic CVT with an auxiliary transmission. Sunny is supposed to deliver superior handling and better environmental performance as a projected class leader in fuel economy as well.

From the pictures released by Nissan, one thing is very evident — Sunny is sure to allure young generation looking for a medium sized sedan that combines a dynamic upscale design with the space and quality.
