Lately,after inventing a cell phone and a phonewith a camera,radio and bluetooth, now they invented a phone tooth .A phone tooth is a very small phone where you put it in your teeth and not in your poket or your bag .It is simple, small and you can have it where ever you go and it doesn t take place.

It is important because it is very helpful and it soesn t take place .You can take it with you where ever you go and talk in the phone anytime and anyplace.The good part on it is that it is the smallest phone ever been created and the most helpful.

I agree with this invention, it will make our life more easier .You can talk on the phone sleeping or awoke whenever you have time and without bothering others .This phone tooth is a creative invention that i think it needs to be spread all over the world because it seems cool and
fun .

http://www.livescience.com/culture/090213-bad-horror-mask.html

This article describes the logic (or lack thereof) of Hollywood serial killers wearing masks. It also explains that wearing masks would be a hindrance to their ability to kill, but they're only worn to add to the "scary" effect.
I think this is stupid because if you want to kill someone it doesn't matter if you wear a mask cause they're gonna be dead. In your face.
P.S. if someone doesn't post their thingy here before monday and we have to do homework because of them, i will give you a super atomic power wedgie. unless it's a girl, cause that would just be awkward.

Because children tend to eat when their parents eat, parents are blamed for the large percent of child obesity in America. People are starting to eat more fast foods and sodas than fruits and vegetables which leads their young children and teenagers to do the same. The only way to stop teen/children obesity is to start with the parents!

http://www.livescience.com/technology/090209-tv-contact-lenses.html

The article talks about the technology that will enable contact lenses to double as TVs within ten years. Though the article talk about it possibly becoming an annoying device it would also be very convenient for entertainment purposes.
This article is important cuz it rocks my socks off! I wear contacts and i think it would make life like totally more awesome if i could watch tv on my contacts during school while my teachers didnt know (though i would never do it in science).
I agree that this technology should be improved and worked on to made a possibility to anyone, such as me. The demand for contacts would also increase greatly.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by attacks of wheezing and difficulty breathing. The airways in the lungs, called bronchial tubes become blocked which causes the lungs to get less air than normal. These airways are very sensitive and can become inflamed and swollen when aggravated. The muscles around them tighten and mucus is produced which causes restriction of airflow . Asthma triggers include lack of theophylline in the blood and many environmental factors. People who have asthma usually suffer from hay fever, allergies, sinus problems, and upper respiratory tract infections as well. During childhood, kids are usually underweight and weak. Sometimes their stomachs may be larger than normal because of air trapped in the lungs. In adulthood, people with asthma tend to be overweight with related health problems because of an inactive lifestyle. An asthma attack can be mild or severe and may last from minutes to hours depending


As stated in the previous paragraph, Asthma is an allergy and can be triggered by normal every day allergens like smoke and dust. It can also be triggered by other things such as stress. And even though some of the usual allergens don't cause asthma in some people, the end result is the same. An allergic reaction to some stimuli such as stress or emotion. Mast cells will de-granulate and release inflammatory chemicals that will cause the airways to become inflamed. Then bronco-constriction will come later. So it is an allergic response.

There is no formal cure to get rid of asthma . There are medecins to calm the inflation. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning asthma triggers and avoiding them.
