A Race to Help Haiti
Published by- Suzanne Zimbler
First published- October 25, 2010
Nine months after a earthquake struck Haiti, more than one million people are still living in camps in the capital city of Port-au-Prince. With so many people living in close areas, people of the government have been very scared a major spread of disease will spread through the contrey. Now, they are fighting to prevent a deadly disease from spreading to the camps that the people are living in rite now. They didn't succeed. Over 3,000 people got the sickens. The sickens is called cholera. It is pronounced kol-er-uh.
Cholera spreads when people drink dirty water. The people think that the river Artibonite was the thing that caused the cholera disease. This is what Jean-Francois St. Felix said
"We know that the disease is affecting the community near the river," says Jean-Francois St. Felix, who works for Haiti's National Department of Water Supply and Sanitation. "We are in the middle of informing people in the region."
Haiti has enough medicine to help over 100,000 people. They have raised that much money to do that and other donations have bean made from other agencies.
"It's not difficult to prevent the spread to Port-au-Prince," said Health Ministry director Gabriel Timothee. "We can prevent it."

Computer Interface Technology
http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/videos/technology/computerinterface.html
This video talks about the new touch screen table that can virtually do anything! It can put a picture in a phone with a slip of a finger across the table. It can also figure out what is on the table and it can take a picture out of a camera and it will just pop up on the table. Without all the hassle of all the cords and wires plugging it into the computer and into the phone.
I chose this video because it interested me on how it works and on what kinds of cool things you can do on it and with it. I found this video just by looking through the sites and I just thought that it would be fun and cool to read. I learned that anything can be possible if you put your mind to it. So that is all you need to know!!

Paragraph 1:
This article tells you about producing biodiesel and how it mite affect the world and people or plants and animals on our planet. E. Colin talks about if we can engineer bio organisms to produce biodiesel fuels, we'll have a new way of storing and using energy.
Paragraph 2:
In this picture the microorganism can be made to make it overproduce fatty acids. Now, back to creating renewable energy. Creating renewable energy by making fuels, like making alcohol out of corn. Although biodiesel can be made out of food, it will interfere with our food source and it is to expensive. One alternative is to modify the E. coli microorganism to make it overproduce fatty acids, which are used to make biodiesel. Fatty acid molecules aren't that different from a lot of fuel molecules. Because they are both types of fuels. So if you think making biodiesel fuel is easy, then think again!!

Spray on fashion!!
Currently being developed by a company called Fabrican, the material is the genius outcome of working together between Spanish designer, Manel Torres and Paul Lukham, a professor of particle technology at London's Imperial College. As the name indicates, it literally involves spraying a person with an can that contains short fibers and polymers, mixed in with a solvent that helps turn the clothing to a liquid form. As it dries, the fibers bind together creating a fabric that can be peeled off and tucked away in the closet, just like any other shirt. And if you are thinking about can it be washed then yes, it can be washed! It is amazing what kind of materials we are yousing now a days! I chose this topic because it looked very unusual, cool, and at the same time interesting. When i finally saw at the end how it was sticking together and h0w it wasn't falling apart. I made a prediction to myself on why the substance was sticking together and not falling apart. I predicted that the substance was moist enough to be sticking together and to be solid enough for it to be very strong and not to fall apart.
