Roosters are characterized by extreme confidence and burning ambition and you will need both of these traits in abundance this year! You can expect to meet intense competition in you personal life and your career, and if you are not at the top of your game you will find yourself coming off second best.
At work, overconfidence will be your enemy. When a promotion opportunity comes up you must pursue it with vigor. If you assume the jobs is yours, it will go to a colleague.
屬雞的人很有自信,也有強烈的企圖心,今年你很需要這兩樣特質!你在私生活和工作方面可能會遭遇非常激烈的競爭,如果沒拿到第一,至少也會是第二。
在工作上,過度自信是你的敵人。如果碰到升遷的機會,一定要秉持熱情努力爭取。如果你以為這工作非你莫屬,那它最後可能會落到別的同事手中。

Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
年份:民國三十五年、四十七年、五十九年、七十一年、八十三年、
Dogs are loyal and compassionate, and are always ready with a shoulder to cry on. Unfortunately your compassion is sometimes misconstrued as nosiness, and in 2010 you will have to be on your guard against creating this impression.
屬狗的人忠誠又富同情心,總願意傾聽朋友的苦惱。可惜的是,你的同情心偶爾會被別人誤認為是好管閒事,所以二O一O年要小心不要給人這種印象。
你工作認真又可靠的特質在今年會特別受到賞識,所以在工作上可望聽到好消息。肖狗者很適合擔任警察、政治人物和科學家,所以可以留意這方面的工作機會。
Pigs 豬

年份:民國三十六年、四十八年、六十年、七十二年、八十四年、九十六年
Pigs are perhaps the unhealthiest of all the signs, but 2010 could be the year when your health takes a turn for the better. Get active and eat better and you should find yourself feeling better in no time. Stay away from carbonated drinks — they will only make you feel bad.
This year will prove to be a good year for making money. Pigs are known to be attentive to detail and seldom shirk responsibility, so this could finally be the year when management takes note of your skills and gives you the promotion you deserve. If you are self-employed, expect to gain some important new customers this year.

China commemorated 80 years since the end of World War II last week with a massive military parade against a backdrop of a disputed history about who ultimately defeated Japan. The issues, including Japan’s reckoning with its wartime record in China, are bound to flare again in December, a flashpoint anniversary of the mass killing in Nanjing by invading Japanese troops. Below is an explainer about what the different — and disputed — points of view are. WHAT IS CHINA’S VIEW? For the Chinese government sitting in Beijing, this is a clear-cut issue: China sacrificed 35 million people in a heroic and brutal struggle
Rarely does Nature present such a striking contradiction as the one found in Lencois Maranhenses National Park. Located along Brazil’s northeastern coast, the park unveils breathtaking scenery, where rippling sands meet crystal-clear lagoons. Under the sun’s golden glow, the waters glitter in shades of turquoise and emerald. So surreal is this spectacle that visitors might wonder if they’re gazing at a digitally modified photo rather than a living landscape. Were it not for the unique geographical and climatic conditions, such a marvel would not exist. Unlike typical deserts, Lencois Maranhenses receives a substantial amount of rainfall, particularly during the rainy season

In a major step to combat carbon emissions, Norway’s pioneering “Northern Lights project” is set to expand its carbon capture and storage (CCS) capabilities. Backed by energy giants and the Norwegian government, this collaborative project is working to increase its annual carbon storage capacity from 1.5 million to over five million tons. Northern Lights focuses on capturing CO2 emissions from industrial sources across Europe and securely storing them underground. Captured CO2 will be liquefied and transported by ship to the storage facility located off the coast of Norway. It will be injected through pipes into geological formations about 2,600m below the
