Going to get hit with two mX posts in one day.
Due to unforseeable circumstances this is actually being written on the Wednesday the 4th of August. Unforseable circumstances is code for doing uni work. We will start today's post off with stress and then end it with stress...
Aussies want the work-life balance tipped a little more in favour of life, with a 35-hour working week the ideal. The latest Work and Life Index, launched this morning, has found despite promises from government and buisness to proide better balance, Aussies are more stress than ever... Report co-author Dr Natalie Skinner said Gen X men were the most dissatisfied in juggling work and home commitments, consideing they worked the longest hours of all demographis surveryed - an average of 45 hours a week... "Gen X, Y and Baby Boomers share a common preference for a 35-hour week."

Someone has pressed the fast-forward 2x button and then lost the remote. I'm only a Uni student and I feel the high-demand from studies, work, family and partner. I rarely get the chance to look up and admire the sun and clouds these days...
The Earth could be hit by a wave of violent space weather as early as tomorrow which is actually today after a massive explosion on the sun. Scientists say a wave of supercharged gas will buffet the natural magnetic shield protecting the Earth, possibly sparking spectacular displays of the auroras known as the northern and southern lights. Such solar fireworks have the potential to hit power grids and communication satellites, but there is no evidence this one will cause major problems. Britian's Daily Telegraph disclosed in June that senior space agency scientists believed the Earth would be hit with unprecendented levels of magentic energy from solar flares after the sun woke from a deep slumber about 2013. UK expert Dr Lucie Green said: "What wonderful fireworks the sun has been producing."

I watched something about this in a documentary styled movie on the Discovery Channel... or National Geographic channel. We would seriously be ducked up with no communications or power supply. Hopefully scientists will have learnt to overcome stress when that happens...
Scientists are working on a vaccine for stress - a single injection to help us relac without slowing down. Dr Robert Sapolsky, professor of neuroscience at Standford University in California, believes it is possible to alter brain chemistry to create "focused calm"... His vaccine short-circuits the neural feedback of stress.
