There is a cure for snakebites!
Those snakes are more afraid of us then we are of them.
Researchers are rounding that there are about 3,000 to 5,000 snakebites of people each year but the highest it can go is 8,000 which decreases down to 1 in 37,500 people are bitten by venomous snakes.Deaths of snakebites are really rare with a mean of five for every year in the U.S.
Hayes explains when snakebites take place they can literally "bankrupt you",to not get in to these situations have respect for snakes and follow these rules.First of all,be aware of your surroundings especially hikers and farmers.If you happen to see a snake trying to cross a path take two steps away and let it cross its path,so it can't reach you when trying to bite.
Snakes are more like to attack men than females as the text states "80% of bite victims are boys and men",since they are likely to harm the snake.Snakebites are connected with alcohol and testosterone.You should stay as far away as you can from them.
If you are going hiking and snakes are common there try to wear long-sleeve clothes close toed shoes and pants to not have a serious bite.Also,if a snake happens to bite you have a friend with car keys ready and don't try taking the venom by biting it away or other cures you heard,call the hospital immediately so they get ready and so the venom doesn't spread around your body.
All in all,respect snakes and don't threaten them or be close to them.


Earth's over shoot day is coming unexpectedly fast.
We humans have been over wasting our resources that the earth can't produce/provide forever such as oil,gold,water,and food.
This is the formula based on this article than can provide us with information is we are over wasting using our resources"Using united nations about the state world year over year the Global footprint Network (GFN) team divides the amount of ecological resources earth can currently generate in one year,according to the network's website.Then,they divide that figure by the total humans demand for resources."
This year 2018 had the fastest overshoot day one years supply of resources finished by august 2.
This can also make a difference in our biological footprint like carbon emissions compare to the carbon sequestration given by the land,the process of cutting trees,unlimited fishing,electricity,and other waste also.Country has a big difference also people who are in an island or in a deserted place they are more likely to overshoot more than an expansive place.
All in all,We should start efficiently saving our resources better for our future. source:https://www.popsci.com/earth-overshoot-day-2018#page-3


Athletes can compete into their 40s!!!
You aren't able to play into your 50s of course because as Keir says as you get older you start losing muscle fiber and that has the biggest force.
Muscles are going to be deteriorating as you get older through a process called Sarcopenia.This is how the process works the fiber starts to decrease in number and size.The motor neourons from the spinal cord begin to die.When you are younger neourons will pick up the slack and grow new branches to increase the muscle fiber.Some say the change can be show as early as our 30s but others say it can be shown as ;ate after our 50s.
The professor of physical therapy an musical biology at the university of Florida says"A body that is in motion tends to stay in motion.
All in all,athletes are able to compete as long as their muscle fiber is healthy and strong. source:https://www.Popsci.com/upper-age-limits-elite-athletic-ability?loc=hpstories&lnk=IMG&dom=section-1


Headphones are amazingly dreadful to your hearing!!!
Tricia Ashby ,director of audiology says"noise exposure is a common cause of and that hearing loss". She explains by stating when you place the music to loud level the liquid in your "inner ear" travels a lot which damages the hair cells that send signals to your brain.
Ashby has some ways to prove if you are listening to loud music which are if you have to "raise your voice to be heard,you can't hear or understand someone 3 feet away from you and etc".
Mostly all the smartphones have limiters to sound such as "maximum safe level".If you have an i-phone go to settings then music then volume limit set the volume to your choice.If you have a android, head to settings,sound,volume to see if it provides limiters.
This sums up that headphones can have a big impact on your hearing but there are solutions to this.

Powerful blood helps some Dolphins dive in 1,000 meters!!
In the islands of Bermuda,a bottlenose dolphin dove deeper and deeper after thirty minutes later it came up again diving 1,000 meters ,a distance greater than the tallest building in the world..
A scientist named Andreas Fahlman wanted to know what was causing this so she studied their lung structure but is the same as other dolphins.She found out about red blood cells.
She explained saying"Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin,which helps carry oxygen throughout the body-the more red cells you have ,the more oxygen you can carry."There is one problem if you surface too quickly the drop in pressure can cause nitrogen bubbles to make in the blood resulting in many sicknesses.The dolphins are smart though,they use their lung to survive.
All in all, the super blood is very powerful to the bottlenose dolphins.

Eating dinner can cause the risk of breath ans prostate cancer!
A large group of researchers in Spain asked questions to 621 individuals with prostate cancer,and 1,205 individuals with breath cancer.They were collecting data to to preferred times of eat and sleep.
After gathering up all the factors for a family of cancer the team found out "individuals who eat dinner before 9 p.m or wait at least two hours before bedtime have a 26 percent lower rick of prostate cancer and a 16 percent lower risk of breast cancer.
However,if you eat after 10 p.m or go to bed soon after finishing last meal of the day that might really affect you.

We need to focus better on our enviroment than ourselves!
The damage of coral reefs can have a big impact on the ocean's health as well as the human race that depends on them.
This paper was trying to state that researchers need to pay more attention to what keeps corals healthy not just what makes them sick.The solutions will help us prepare better for the future.
Palma,an independent researcher says"You can't have a healthy coral unless it is in balance with these microbes that have to live in it."We can tell that the relationship between the organisms and coral reefs benefit from each other.
All in all,the coral reefs are more important than we think it is.

Topic sentence:NASA's most beneficial planet-hunting telescope is going to be taking a long nap!
It is said that in less than 10 years since it launched the Kepler space telescope verified the existence of 2,500 worlds beyond our own!
The spacecraft's two "gyroscopic wheels" failed!The team with the telescope was having trouble keeping it steady,but after a while the researchers had a idea.It was to use the sun's energy to keep the telescope steady.
As Kepler is on its last last days,NASA is beginning another telescope story,TESS(Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite)
All in all,NASA with Kepler discovered a lot of new worlds and now it has to stop since ti has a portion of fuel left
