Zodiac Signs Changed

According to Minnesota Planetarium Society board member Parke Kunkle the signs of the zodiac have changed because the gravitational force of the Moon has managed to tilt the planet’s axis a bit since the Babylonians determined the dates of the Zodiac five thousand years ago.

Today we have also learned that not only the way you read horoscope has changed – we have also discovered that there may be a 13th Zodiac sign called Ophiuchus.

Thanks to those new findings, you are strongly advised to remove your Capricorn tattoo – as it turned out you might actually be a Sagittarius. The next time you open a news paper and want to read your daily horoscope take the following information into consideration:

Capricorn: Jan. 20 – Feb. 16

100k Fish And 5k Birds Die In Arkansas On New Years Day

What is going on in Arkansas, people are wondering.  Discovering the thousands of blackbirds dead on the ground was quite disturbing to many residents. There are many explanations, and some are of the conspiracy nature, while others are more scientifically grounded.

There were over 100,o00 drum fish, which are bottom feeders, found along the Arkansas River as well, feeding into the local fears of contamination or disease.With the fishing community, there was consternation as to how many other species were to be affected, but the local authorities said it was safe to continue fishing in that community.

The fish were found Thursday by a tugboat operator along a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near the city of Ozark.

The mass kill occurred just one day before thousands of blackbirds dropped dead from the sky in Beebe, Ark., which is 125 miles away.

According to the Press Association, workers from the U.S. Environmental Services removed the final bird at 11am on Sunday morning. They estimated that they had collected around 2,000 of the animals. The town’s mayor said that workers wore protective suits as a matter of course and not because they feared contamination.

Theories to explain the sudden death of the blackbird flock have come thick and fast. Speaking to CNN Radio on January 2, Karen Rowe, an ornithologist for the AGFC, said that the incident isn’t that rare, and is often caused by a lightning strike or high-altitude hail.

Initial examinations of the dead birds showed trauma, including head injury. Such trauma could have resulted from something contacting them in the air—or from impact with the ground.

Rowe ruled out poisoning. “It’s important to understand that a sick bird can’t fly. So whatever happened to these birds happened very quickly,” she said. “Something must have caused these birds to flush out of the trees at night, where they’re normally just roosting and staying in the treetops … and then something got them out of the air and caused their death and then they fell to earth.”

Nokia N8 sales 4 million units

Nokia N8

According to a Finland research company, Nokia has sold between 3.5 and 4 million N8 smartphones. The research also mentions that the N8 is a top-selling phone in Finland, India, Malaysia and UAE.

Nokia previously stated that the N8 camera phone flagship is the company's most pre-ordered phone ever. Despite that impressive claim we were never given specific numbers.

We still don't have any official confirmation, but if the Finland research company Inderes Oy is to be trusted, nearly 4 million users bought the N8. We suppose the popularity in the listed countries is expected, because Nokia is the biggest player on those markets by a country mile.

Those early sales are certainly encouraging, but we'll have to wait until the Holiday season shopping spree ends and Nokia publishes its Q4 results, before judging the N8 market success.
