Futuristic Flight

Futuristic Flight: 

This spring an airplane flew from coast to coast without using fuel, but instead it used sun energy. The plane called Solar Impulse has charged batteries that allow it to fly during the day and night. Although the plane did not make stops to change fuel it did to change pilots. This plane only has room for one person which is the pilot. 

There is a scheduled around the world flight for 2015. This journey will be flown with a more advanced plane that is now under construction. 

One of the pilot founders of the Solar Impulse project, Bertrand Piccard, said, "If the technologies we're using were used everywhere--in buildings and cars and lighting systems,we could cut the energy consumption of the world in half."

Risk that children with behavior issues may have

                  We as children or as teenagers are always told that we should be polite to others and to treat others the  way you would like to be treated, but being polite is not the main point. According to scientists, children with behavior problems are most likely to get sick or have diseases in adulthood. Such diseases may include diabetes, chronic diseases, overweight or obesity, heart diseases, and even inflammatory diseases. This data was obtained by the University of Bristol, Harvard scientists and Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health and they analyzed the behavior of 4,000 participants of children in 90s. 

                 Scientists found out that eight-year-old children with behavioral problems had higher levels of a protein (C-reactive protein -- CRP; and Interleukin 6 -- IL-6) in their blood which was found at the age of 10. This proteins are an early sign that a person might suffer from inflammatory diseases, and heart conditions later in life. Pervious research showed that kids with behavioral problems are associated with the HPA axis work which can make the child more likable to have reactions to stress because HPA controls it. Also, it causes the immunological system to fail or to malfunction. These two proteins can cause chronically elevated levels of inflammation which causes injury to the tissues that leads to more health problems. 

               "This new research shows for the first time that having behavioral problems in childhood can put children on the path to ill health much earlier than we previously realized. The important message for healthcare professionals is that they need to monitor the physical health as well as the mental health of children with behavioral problems in order to identify those at risk as early as possible." said the senior author and associated professor of Epidemiology.  


              This article is important for people because if they see that their children have a behavioral problem they can be on time to make it stop which may save that person of other diseases. Some people say it is normal to be on a bad humor, but maybe they don't know that with time this may affect on their health. For me it is important because know I know that I should be more relaxed if I don't want to have severe consequences later.

Erwin Schrodinger

Erwin Schrodinger:

Have you ever wondered who Erwin Schrodinger was?

Do you know who find out where the electrons are located in an atom?

If you have constantly been asking these questions, then you should check out the prezi (link below) that I made about him. 

He was an Austrian scientists who won a Nobel Prize and invented the theory of "Electron Cloud".
