Indestructible Soccer Ball Brings Sport to Kids Who Need It Most

Oneworld-futbol-ghana
Summary:
Tim Jahnigen isn't an engineer and he doesn't have a fancy business degree — but that hasn't stopped him from bringing an invention to market that's changing the lives of millions of children around the globe.As the effects of his invention ripple outward, Jahnigen has advice for other inventors mulling over an idea they want to realize.


Major Concepts:
1. The ball, since it's made of Styrofoam, it reduces pollution. Therefore when they make the ball, they not only reduce pollution but also they make it efficient
2. It can be used in any type of terrain. This way they don't have to modify the game just so that they keep the ball safe.
3. With one buy, they donate one ball to poor kids. This way not only they poor kids benefit from it the, company, and the people buying it gain from this buy.

Strengths:
1.Durable-it lasts long even in the worst condition.
2.Any Terrain- it can be played with anywhere, anytime.

Problems:
1.They become over protective because they think it belongs to them.
2. Expensive- although it is given to them for free, they never mention the price.

Discussion Question:
1. would it be available to all poor kids?
2. If it's undeflatable, how do you take it abroad?

This is not a shocking news to me because I have a family member who has suffered a lot because of overuse of antibiotics. However, thanks to god that she didn't die. It is shocking that Doctors who are supposed to help cure diseases are simply making it even worse. The doctors just give people antibiotics even if they don't know what the problem with the person even is. Antibiotics is basically just like a drug. Since bacterias have mutated to resist antibiotics and bacterias are also making dangerous advances. So basically, bacterias are leading the antibiotics to give us side effects that we never want. I believe that we should use natural medicines. We should use herbal medicines to cure our diseases. They are natural. They are from plants and they won't even harm us. I can guarantee that because my family has been using ayurvedic medicines since the generation of my great great grandfather and we are fit and healthy :P Therefore, it is very ironic that the thing which is supposed to cure our diseases is killing people

Article Review: Fake Lab Meat



Fake Lab Meat

In my point of view this is just pretty much sick. i would never eat fake meat because who knows what’s inside. For some years now, i have been eating everything organic and most importantly real. I would not want to spoil my appetite or stomach by eating fake meat. I do understand that 70% of the agricultural food we grow are eaten but we just have to live with it, because most importantly it’s healthy or safe. I don't think making fake meat is good for our environment and good for the people today. I would rather live in a world with real food and most importantly healthy food. I believe health is wealth. I certainly do not think scientists should start making this because it might be able to fill our stomachs but most probably the side effects will be horrible and most probably it will result into death. The part where the article says “it helps reduce the amount of land needed to grow crops and animals”.  I disagree with this because land is given to us for these types of activates. If they are no longer needed then what do they do with all the access land.

Article review : Mini Brain Grown In a Bottle

Mini Brain Grown In a Bottle

This is quite a breakthrough in Science for us. If this research is successful then in the future we will be able to replace our brain organs. This also maybe could lead to an idea to develop an artificial brain for patients who have major brain problems. Even though this all might sound good at first glance, actually I think its bad. I think that because this could lead us to try to change our natural selves. There would be people who would want to change something important in their brain to just change their personality or how they think. This could lead us humans to completely change ourselves at one surgery. We are going against nature in this procedure, nature created us in this way so we should not change our brains or our thoughts. It reminds me of the mother nature post where when people try to go against human nature they completely fail.

Article Review : Life on mars

Life on mars

It sounds really amazing that the life on Earth is started from Mars. And it might give us a lot of benefits by we started to know this. It mustn't happen actually, but for example, one day if we can't live in our Earth anymore by some negative situation or any disasters, we can still move to the Mars. However, still I think that, on Mars there's nothing better than Earth where we are living already for us (human being). The reason for that is we already got the suitable environment from here, and It might have a bit of different environment that we can't adapt even if there's have similar living condition with our Earth. Therefore , we shouldn't leave our planet.
