The center for disease control is investigating the effect of vaping on the younger generations of kids and the connection between the lung disease!
More research is being done to prove that vaping is a great risk for young children .
People who had vaped had this type of illness among them. Joseph Allen, an environment health scientist says that the flavors aren't much harm but there isn't much information that proves safety of this going into your lungs.
Sharon McGrath -Morrow says that lungs can be damaged no matter the age but the younger generation vaping can cause disproportionately data of a disease. There are kids who have smoked in their young times who now struggle from myriads of ailments.
Since alot about vaping isn't known to the world, people aren't aware of the risk harming especially he younger generation. In vaping the nicotine levels and the flavors choices have changed in a rather fast way.
In conclusion, there should be more experiments done about how the vaping can harm the lungs particularly to the younger generation of kids.

Beware of these plants!! There are many types of plants that an be harmful to your dog. The first type of dog is milkweed. It is a plant that has many small flowers and appears white and pink with a green stem. This can be found in north america. The second one is black walnut. It is like a walnut but rough.


Makong river is in a drought that caused it's water levels to decrease!!
Since the 100 years, there has never been that much of a rough drought before.
It all started when a monsoon was supposed to come into their region in May but it didn't come. The "el nino phenomenon" and climated change made the region more dry.
Due to China and Laos' hydropower dam, they took away the water supply because to their own desires which made the river worse.
The farmers couldn't plant rice and are scared about harvest. When the water level are rising, the fish use it as a sign to five birth to their children. But now since the water levels are decreasing there probably isn't gong to be reproduction of fish.
In conclusion, the drought has caused many problems for the locals.

Robert ballad who has discovered where many important historical objects that were lost including the titanic, John Kennedy's world war 2 patrol boat in the Solomon sea and etc, is looking for Amelia Earhart. Robert ballad, a ocean explorer, is looking forward to search the destination where Amelia Earhart was lost. Many people were searching foe Amelia Earhart. For example, the U.S. government, her husband even got a marine job. After all the research the international group for historic aircraft recovery are saying that she might have landed in Nikumaroro, a lonely body of water or atoll. The industry has found a photo of a unrecognizable thing that could have been Amelia Earhart. A marine geologist says that you have to be able to think like the person to find where she is. Robert thinks that the plane could have reduced to particles and that Nikumaroro is a "a very high energy encounter of the ocean in a living reef". In short, Robert could find her or not but it all depends on if she or the plane should be found or it shouldn't said by Robert ballad.



Gorillas are sociable like humans.
Even though the gorillas are known to be belligerent, they are just plant eaters. In fact "they are called the cows of the forest".
Researchers have studied the primates and they have small and extended families.
The small families are called "troops" that have one male and several females. The "first social tier" has about 13 gorillas which is a extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins.
The bigger family live in a village or tribe which consists of 40 gorillas.


Researchers are studying about the importance of sleeping through zebra fishes!
A newroscientist, whose name is Paul shaw, says that sleep has a very big impact on your body's metabolism and your diabetic health. Even by misssing one hour of sleep it can just affect how you react in the day.
The zebra fishes sleep during the night similarly to humans so they are a ood subject to test on. They are diurnal.
The researchers have put in a gene which shows light when it is expressing something. The more the fish's moves the more it lights up.
The results in the experiment showed that sleep decreases brain activity. There were two types of reactions. The first one was their brain's neurons who reacted similarly. The second reaction was the brain moved without the muscles moving.
Even though we don't know alot about the importance of sleeping, we can learn it through research on similar creatures that are like us.

The creation of black holes!!
Scientists may have found how black holes are created.
There are two types of particularly known black holes: stellar black holes, and gigantic black holes.
The stellar black holes are much little, and are created when a huge star subsides into its' self giving away under pressure to create the super nova explosion.
The gigantic black holes are able to grow as the gas and dust became stars, and planets to galaxies.
A study by the The Astrophysical Journal Letters that have made a model which gives some explanations to how these items may have created sans-stars. Shantanu Basu, a professor of physics and astrology says that the model is based on the theory of how the black holes stop growing. After the big band there was a lot of gas and dust. The gas and dust forms a lump of semiliquid substance which is the starting point of a black holes. The radiation formed by the black holes is eventually going to stop them from growing.
In short, black holes were mostly created after the big bang.

Global warming is causing soil to dump more carbon dioxide into the air!
The temperature increasing is affecting the way soil and plants act with carbon dioxide.
The process starts off when trees/plants take in the carbon dioxide and store it in their branches or leaves.When they are dead microbes in the soil eat up the most of the carbon leftovers and breath out the carbon dioxide into the air.This process is know as respiration.The temperatures is causing this process to become faster and the microbe is faster than the plants.
Ben Bond, a researcher of Joint Global Change Research Institute there is a share between the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Maryland.He states that soil is really reacting to this big global warming change which can turn the carbon dioxide we have now to double the amount or more.This can affect all sorts of communities including ecosystems.
Bond-Lamberty lead of a new study says,This also affects the soil it self by reducing the amount of power it has.This can't continue all along.Scientists have found out that microbes have increased the amount they release by 1.2 percent between 1990 and 2014,this is based on the different sites of the world.He also says that this can't be done in a lab but from the observation of the world and can be measured with satellites and data also inferences on land measurements.
The reason could be there are different types of microbes maybe that the take in different types of carbon as temperatures increases Bailey explains.Another reason could be that heat and drought are stealing the nutrients of the soil says a scientist of University of Manchester.
All in all,global warming has caused many problems to our precious earth. Source, https://www.popsci.com/rising-temperatures-are-causing-soil-to-dump-more-carbon-dioxide-into-air


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.


Article 2
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
