Interferon Needed For Cells To 'Remember' How To Defeat A Virus
i found this on http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081203084316.htm
Typically, when a person is infected with a virus, the human body immediately generates a massive number of T cells – a type of immune cell – that kill off the infected cells. Once the infection has cleared, most of the T cells also die off, leaving behind a small pool of central memory cells that "remember" how to fight that particular type of virus if the person is infected again.
some people don't 'remember' when they have a virus. I liked thatit talked about the different cells that are in the body and how they effect the body. Some virus's are very harmful if they enter the body for a second time. CD4+ T cells coordinate the actions of other cells at the site of infection. It interested me that there are so many cells in the human body that they most of them work toghether to help the body fight off virus's. This article was very interesting. My questions are:
1 can people live w/o CD4 and T cells?
2 are people born with the cells?
3 even if your ammune to something can you bocome unammune again?
"Why dogs can sense fair play"
from CNNtechnology.com / author
not given.
Scientists have discovered that dogs have far more complex emotions than previously thought. Scientists used to think that dogs did not have complex emotions such as pride and jealousy. Scientists in Austria did an experiment with 33 trained dogs. All the dogs had to extend their paws to a human. Some dogs got a reward for doing this and others did not. The dogs that did not receive a reward, performed less well when asked to repeat the task than the dogs that got a reward.
I liked this article because I like dogs and I have a dog.
Title:Salt secrets
Salt secrets
Publisher:Emily Sohn->Science News For Kids
The article i chose was called "Salt secrets" and it included facts and reasearch about how much salt is in everything we eat! There's more than others and the most amount of salt is found in what is to be the most healthiest foods.
I really enjoyed the article becuase, for one thing it was interesting to find out about some of the foods that carry more salt than others. When I went to the website and typed in interesting articles, it was not only the first thing on the page but it was rated highest in that topic so with that i started reading.
What really surprised me thought was that even when you see salt on some foods (pretzles and french fries etc.) there's more in the actual food itself then meets the eye! Also that having too much salt in your diet is not only un healthy and just...gross (dedpending on the amount, but can also be DEADLY!!! Infact in the article it also talked about how this is one of the causes of obesity!
Questions that I have would probably be what other foods are loaded with salt, Can it also be the cause of the rising number of deaths, having to do with heart attach, heart failure and obesity, plus more!

Study Explores Which Carnivores Are Most Likely To Kill Other Carnivores
By: Unknown
Found at:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/03/060308212037.htm
This article was about how 2 people at the University of Wyoming did a study on which carnivores will most likely kill other carnivores. Also they tell you when a carnivore will most likely prey on another carnivore.
I think the article was informative. I really enjoyed reading this article and I liked it very much. I liked it because I find it interesting that some carnivores prey on other carnivores. I was interested and surprised that they could get so close to some carnivores to study them; I know that some carnivores are dangerous. I would really like to know how they did this study. When I read this article, I thought how they can get close to some carnivores. The only question I have is: how did they conduct this study.

'Fish Technology' Draws Renewable Energy From Slow Water Currents
Unknown
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081121125604.htm
This article was about scientists finding energy in oceans and rivers. The article also explained how it is done. I liked this article because it was about a discovery that we made to help our planet. It wasn’t just a discovery to let us know more, it was a discovery that will help us save energy. It really surprised me that we could get energy from rivers and oceans. I never really thought that that would be possible.
I have a few questions about the article. I don’t really get the process of how to get the energy from the oceans or rivers. I also don’t really get how we get energy from the oceans and rivers.

I really liked how you put your opinion in your post. I couldn't find anything you can improve on.
Go army beat navy:
I liked how you told us about the article. Next time, I think you can improve by adding more to the reflection part and put a little opinion in it.

Title: “Wait A Second: 2008 Gets Extended By Timekeepers”
Author: Unknown (?)
Found: www.physorg.com
This article was about how the earth’s rotation is slowing down; so timekeepers are going to have to add an extra second. This extra second will be added on December 31st, at 6:59:59. Timekeepers decided to add this second so that the time, keep at the same pace as the earth’s slowing rotation.
I think that the topic that this article was on was very interesting. But, some of it I didn’t like because, the article did not supply the reader (me) with a lot of information, to help me get a better idea of the topic. If the author wrote more, to in order to give more detail, that would help.
Something that surprised me about the article, was the idea that there are people called “Timekeepers” who can actually manipulate time, this seems strange to me. I wouldn’t think that they would be able to do this, because I thought that time was permanent, and it can not be stopped, or fast-forwarded.
After reading this article, I had some questions: Do Timekeepers add small amounts of time frequently? Why, exactly, do we have to add or subtract time? Will we always have to add or subtract time, or is this just a one time thing?

I really liked your enthusiasm for the topic. You could improve by giving some examples on what are some salty foods and what are some unsalty foods.
Pony Girl:
I really liked how you gave a lot of thought to your reflection. You could improve by maybe adding some more information about the topic.

Name: With Treats, Dogs Seem to Know What's Fair
By: HENRY FOUNTAIN
I found it: NYTimes Science
This Article was about scientists think that dogs relies and use the idea that something are fair and some things aren’t. Just like humans and apes, if they think something isn’t fair, like doing a trick without getting a treat, they won’t do it.
I didn’t like this article because I know dogs know what’s fair or not far. My dog, which I have to admit, is not the smartest dog in the world, even gets that. I would think that is so simple it would have been old news, and even so I don’t think it was worth writing an article about. It even admitted to not being surprising to dog owners and I would think dog owners would be the ones reading this article. I didn’t find much anything of this article interesting other than humans and apes, (and now dogs) are the only animals that show signs of this kind of thing. I would think there would be many more types of animals who have. I think they should do more studies on different types of animals for this kind of intelligent.
go army beat navy: I liked how you picked an article that you really liked. I think you could have told us more about why you liked the article.
idk345:I liked that you told us exactly what you were confuse on. Maybe you could have explained a little bit more about what the article was about.

I liked how you took a hard topic and made it understandable. I think you could improve by rereading before posting because some of your post was a little confusing.

“Tony Stewart” :
I really like how challenging of a topic you chose to write about. (BRAVO!) I think your writing was amazing, and your summery of the article was amazing. One thing I’d say you could work on is writing more about what you thought of the article and your opinions on it.
“go army beat navy” :
I liked the topic that you chose to write about. But after reading your article response, I was left wondering what YOU thought about the article… so next time I would improve on telling the reader (me) what you thought of the article.
“chrissybrown08” :
WOW! Your article review was amazing, it made me want to read the article that your wrote about, yet it gave me just enough info on it. Great job!
Oldest Turtle Found; May Crack Shell Evolution Mystery
Brian Handwerk
National Geographic News
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/11/081126-oldest-turtle.html
Fossils found in southwestern China of 220 million year old ancestors of modern day turtles have helped prove a point in a majority of scientists’ theory. There has always been a question on how the turtle’s shell evolved. One of the two main theories was that the shell evolved from a bony armor plate that some dinosaurs and modern reptiles have, including crocodiles. The other main theory was that turtle ancestors’ shells evolved from the ribs on the underside of the turtle. This theory was partially proven with this find because the fossil turtles had a shell on the underside and not on the top.
I chose this article because I had heard about it a month before it was announced to the public from my uncle who is a scientist. I also like this article because of the controversy behind it. Scientists have always debated on whether or not the turtle shells grew from the spine or the ribs. Even though there is major proof to help the rib theory there will probably still be debates on the modern day turtles shell. I wonder why they don’t just take a dead turtle and dissect it to find out? Why did the turtles grow shells in the first place?
Title: Officials say Obama chooses energy, EPA posts
URL: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081210/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_environment
President-elect Barack Obama intends to round out his environmental and natural resources team with a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and three former Environmental Protection Agency officials from the Clinton administration.
I never thought that people like this would want to help Obama with his plans to help the planet, but I guess they did. It's good that there are EPA people orking with Obama, because they can help him with the environment very nicely.
When Planets Collide, Two Planets Suffer Violent Collision
Written by: Science Daily
Found at: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080923164646.htm
This article is about two planets that were orbiting a mature sun-like star when they collided causing massive destruction. When scientists were asked what was the chance of a collision with Earth and Venus or Mercury they said "not very likely". "The small probability of this happening may be related to the rarity of very dusty planetary systems like BD+20 307."(quote). Scientists were surprised also that apparently, major catastrophic collisions can take place in a fully mature planetary system not just premature."
I liked this article because it shows just some of the new things we are learning everyday about our galaxy and its' mystery's. I was surprised at what power the collision could have made and how after only a while after the collision only dust and little chunks of the planets were left. What would happen if two planets like Jupiter and Saturn collided considering their mass and being gas giants? What would happen if a large planet and a small planet collided? Also what if a gas and a solid planet collided? Yes I would like to know more about what I read and I want to know the answers to my questions.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star. This breakthrough is an important step toward finding chemical biotracers of extraterrestrial life.
The Jupiter-sized planet, called HD 189733b, is too hot for life. But the Hubble observations are a proof-of-concept demonstration that the basic chemistry for life can be measured on planets orbiting other stars. Organic compounds also can be a by-product of life processes, and their detection on an Earthlike planet someday may provide the first evidence of life beyond our planet
i think this article is interesting becasue it proves there is a posibilety of life on other planets bc of this discovery and think that is really cool
what suprizes me about this article is that a space craft can travel that far and what also amazes me is that we might not be alone in this universe
my questions are when did this happen
do they think if it wasent to hot there might be life on this planet and
how far away is this planet
The cycles, The cycles, which are driven by the sun's magnetic turbulence, may influence weather systems on Earth, particularly the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, a periodic climatic system associated with floods and droughts mostly in the Southern Hemisphere.
"The sun is the engine of our climate," said lead study author Robert Baker, of the University of New England in Australia.
"It's like a vibrating string—its past vibrations can be used to predict future vibrations."
Those vibrations are the cyclical "twisting and untwisting" of magnetic fields that cause the sun's poles to flip at the start of each new cycle.
Black Hole Confirmed in Milky Way
By Pallab Ghosh
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7774287.stm
This article was about a group of German Astronomers that discovered a black hole in the Milky Way.
I liked this article because it was really interesting. This article interested me because it had some really cool information. One of the really cool facts was that the black hole is said to be 27,000 light years away from earth and that the black hole is four million times bigger then the sun! The part that really surprised me was how big the black hole is compared to the sun. A question I have about this article and would like to find more about is how the Astronomers were able to get all of this information about the black hole.
go army beat navy: i think that your article is very interesting. my quetion is, why did they use a odd number of dogs.
pony girl: i liked your article. i thoght that carnivores wouldn't eat eachother because they are similar in 'eating habbits'
hello there: your articl freked me out a little because if it says the earth is slowing down its like the movie 'the day the earth stood still' my question is: will the planet stop rotation completly?
Article:Samson
By:Eileen Dechon
Eileen was driving in her car on Monday 12/8/08 and hit a dog in the middle of the road. She read the dogs tag and went to the house it lived in and a man came to the door and she told him what happened and he said to just leave the dog there. Turns out the dog was left at the guys house by some friends and they never came back to get. the man never even feed the dog.
Eileen went back to the dog and put it in her car. She took it to the animal hospital, they had to do surgery. The docter's came out and told her it was going to be a 18,086 dollers. They told her that they were going to pay for it and the dog could go home.
The dog can only take a few steps for now but its going to be ok. She named the dog Samson and the dog has a better life then before!
Comment for hello there:
Your topic was interesting, but you could probably include a little more detail. Good questions.
Comment for railroadfan:
Your topic sounded cool but I had a little trouble reading it. You should probably add mor detail and make your reflection longer. Also spell check helps the reader understand the entry better.
Comment for chrissybrown08:
Your topic was kind of gross but realy interesting. You included a lot of facts and detail which is good, but you should probably use spell check.
Hair eating caterpillar
They fond out that caterpillar eat not just clothing but hair to. These caterpillars can help identify dead bodies. What I thought about this article is that it is kid of creepy but cool. It is creepy that I can eat your hair and cool by identifying dead bodies. You would never think that there would be a caterpillar that could eat your hair.
Got the hair eating caterpillar article at science new for kids.
WPIX.com by Vicki Smith
I read an article about a "revolutionary" type of tobacco. It was made
by Camel. They named it "Snus". With this tobacco Camel workers
say you'll never have to stand outside for a smoke. Also this chewing
tobacco doesn't make a disgusting juice so you don't need to keep
spitting.
I thought the article was very good. It didn't really apeal to me
because don't smoke. Although it was still interesting that they found a
tobacco "substitute". Another interesting part was that scientists
found that it really isn't a substitute for cigarettes, yet Camel
employees say it is. I would like to know how many people actually bought
this stuff. I'd also like to know if it's actually as good as Camel says
it is.
Sugar Can Be Addictive: Animal Studies Show Sugar Dependence
From http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081210090819.htm
By a Princeton University scientist
This article was about the addictive effect of sugar. They tested their hypothesis on rats, and saw multiple side effects of addiction demonstrated.
I enjoyed reading this article because I think it touched on an important issue. It was both interesting and engaging. The article was also more difficult than the previous ones I have done which made me read it more carefully instead of blowing right through it. What surprised me was that similar effects occurred when scientists tested heroin and cocaine. I was also surprised that sugar could have such a huge effect on a rat’s behavior. In the article it said that when they took away the sugar the rats experienced anxiety because of the lower levels of dopamine, (dopamine is a chemical in your brain that helps you stay awake when you are tired.) The one thing that I didn’t understand was that scientists only tested this out on rats. If they had tested out this theory on other animals the results would be much more accurate.
tittle:coral indacates another samutra quake is likely
the article is interesting. I like how it gave all the facts to matche the inferance.
I think its cool you can tell when theres going to be an earth quake just from growth patterns on a coral reef.
The earthquake they suspect is in the same plase as the tsunami in dec. 06. I remember the big tsunami. I remember the funds and giving close, but most of all I remember how sad every body was.
but i think they should have made it longer.
Black hole found in Milky Way
Author: By Pallab Ghosh
Science correspondent, BBC News
Found at: http://www.pageflakes.com goes to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7774287.stm
Article: There is a giant black hole at the center of our galaxy, a study has confirmed.
German astronomers tracked the movement of 28 stars circling the center of the Milky Way, using the European Southern Observatory in Chile.
The black hole is four million times heavier than our Sun, according to the paper in The Astrophysical Journal.
Black holes are objects whose gravity is so great that nothing - including light - can escape them.
According to Dr Robert Massy, of the Royal Astronomical Society, the results suggest that galaxies form around giant black holes in the way that a pearl forms around grit.
'The black pearl'
Dr Massy said: "Although we think of black holes as somehow threatening, in the sense that if you get too close to one you are in trouble, they may have had a role in helping galaxies to form - not just our own, but all galaxies.
"They had a role in bringing matter together and if you had a high enough density of matter then you have the conditions in which stars could form.
"Thus the first generation of stars and galaxies could have come into existence".
The researchers from the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany said the black hole was 27,000 light years, or 158 thousand, million, million miles from the Earth.
"Undoubtedly the most spectacular aspect of our 16-year study, is that it has delivered what is now considered to be the best empirical evidence that super-massive black holes do really exist," said Professor Reinhard Genzel, head of the research team.
"The stellar orbits in the galactic center show that the central mass concentration of four million solar masses must be a black hole, beyond any reasonable doubt."
My Comment: This article is about how it took 16 years to discover and figure out that huge black holes exist in space. I am definitely impressed/surprised it took scientists this amount of time. I’m not a scientist and I don’t know how long it takes to prove a theory, but 16 years of studying the same thing? This fact is what I think made this article intensely interesting. It was also a bit of ominous and I liked it. It said in one part of the article that we think black holes are threatening, that we think if we get near it, we’d think, ‘Oh-uh; we’re in big trouble now!’ It is not like I don’t agree with the people who think that, it is just that I agree with Dr. Massey from the Royal Astronomical Society as well. I think black holes make new galaxies and that doesn’t frighten me. I think black holes made our galaxy as well, and possibly other worlds/galaxies we’ve never traveled to or even dared to go looking for. I think that if a space ship gets “sucked up” in a black hole, it will take us to another world/galaxy with other living life forms/species we’ve never seen before. There might be things we just imagined in dreams or fantasized about living there on their own planets. I think it would be great if there were “space pilots” (who drive/fly a space ship) who would go through those black holes and actually see what is there. I would really like to know if my theory is correct or wrong before I die because I want to know this really badly now that I’ve read this article. Have any space programs started anything like this? Has NASA made any ships to try to go through black holes that have intense heavily space protected cameras to record what happens when something goes through a black hole?

New Species Of Ebola Virus Discovered
it is on:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081120202502.htm
The article was about how Scientists report the discovery of a new species of Ebola virus, and it is named Bundibugyo ebolavirus and it is under as open-access journal PLoS Pathogens. The virus, was responsible for a hemorrhagic fever outbreak in western Uganda in 2007 and it has been characterized by a team of researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.Georgia the Uganda Virus Research Institute; the Uganda Ministry of Health; and Columbia University and these are the research labs that are being used.Ebola virus infection in humans causes severe disease for which there is presently no vaccine or other treatment. That seems really sad to me.Case fatalities range historically between 53 and 90%. Therefore, research efforts into the Ebola virus genus and potential diagnostics are ongoing and since they discoverd Bundibugyo ebolavirus it was added to part of the puzzle.
The whole article is sad to me because they are still trying to figure out the answer to solving this mystery.
Black hole confirmed in Milky Way PURPLEMONKEY
By Pallab Ghosh, Science correspondent, BBC News
After sixteen full years of hardcore study, a German scientist by the name of Dr. Robert Massey has confirmed his theories of an immense black hole, four million times bigger then the Sun, lying right in the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way! I find the universe to be a bizarre but altogether fascinating concept. That interest I hold is what immediately attracted me to this article.
I really was blown away reading this article because of the many surprises and facts it held. I needed to stretch my mind only to comprehend how gigantic and far it is from Earth. I learned that black holes are objects whose gravity is so great that nothing, not even light can escape them. The black hole (nicknamed Black Pearl) that Dr. Massey discovered is like something taken straight from a movie. It posses so much wonder and strangeness it puzzles, making it impossible to resist reading the whole article. It was simply breath-taking that the Black Pearl is 158 thousand million, million miles from earth and four million times larger than our Sun! As I sat back trying to imagine Dr. Massey’s discovery my thought bubble almost burst, I could not believe how massive this matter-bending, shape-shifting, hole in our galaxy was.
Picture yourself doing a cannonball into the mouth of this black hole, forever being violently stretched into infinity. Chances are right now you’re terrified, but all the danger you would think the Black Pearl to be, there’s a flip side. According to Dr. Massey, "Although we think of black holes as somehow threatening, in the sense that if you get too close to one you are in trouble, this may have had a role in helping galaxies to form - not just our own, but all galaxies.” This quote helped balance the complex nature of the Black Pearl; leveling its frightening reputation by showing a positive side you would never thought existed.
If I were to write an addition to this article in the future I would have it answer some of my questions. I would include whether the paths of Earth and the Black Pearl would ever meet in time. I would explain the possible effects of what would happen if our Earth were to come in contact with the Black Pearl. I would also include an estimated guess on when our Earth would meet up with it and what the human race could do to prevent it.
Commentary:
goarmybeatnavy:I liked how you used scientific words that people could understand and that made the article more presentable. I think that you could have allaberated on why you enjoyed it.
PonyGirl:You always include everything in your articles so i have no advice to fix it. IT GREAT!
MileyMontana:Your reflection sounds more like a summery and it didnt include what you enjoyed..but however, i enjoyed the summery!
-Chrissybrown08
go army beat navy: I like how you told the reader what your article was about. In the future I think that you should write your opinion on the article. Also you used the word scientists a lot in the beginning of each sentence so you should try to substitute another word in instead of using it a lot.
paintballmonkey8: I like how you summerized the article and stated your opinion. In the future I think that you should re-read your article before you post it because the first four words are the same. Also I think that you should write your opinion on this article.
miley Montana: I like how you told the story. In the future I think that you should add your opinion. Also I’m not really sure what it has to do with science.
Comments:
Go army beat navy:
I think that one thing you did well was that you picked an article that you liked and that you could relate to. But your writing was a bit repetitive and you didn’t answer all of the assigned questions.
Hello There!:
I thought you did a good job organizing you information, and answering each question fully. But you can improve by checking your work over more carefully for typing spelling and grammar mistakes.
Soccer123:
I liked the way each of your sentences flowed into the next, and how you continuously included facts from the article in your reflection. But I think that your summary should have included just one more sentence explaining the article, or why this was such an important discovery.
ponyboy111: Ponyboy111 molto bene! I think your article is very intriguing. This planet definitely has a weird name. It is not even a name, it is a group of numbers (and a letter), 189733b. I am asking the same questions and wondering about the same things you are. How far is this planet? Do they think if it wasn’t too hot there might be life on this planet? How hot is this planet? What does it look like? All of these questions were zooming around in my head as soon I finished reading your review. In this universe, everything surprises me. I’ve even wondered if there are other universes. I think it is too funny how we both wrote about outer space. I think your writing is fine. All you have to work on is your spelling/grammar. You picked a nice article, don’t worry.
paintballmonkey8: Paintballmonkey8 bravo! You picked an interesting article. I never knew that type of thing. I never gave it a thought, maybe that’s why. Any who, wow! As soon as I saw your article I’m like “Hum…something interesting and short… PERFECT!” I seriously don’t like long articles, unless I want to read it. I just have to say a few things. FIRST; you should have a bit more; you sort of left me hanging, SECOND you should have added questions about what you thought, because I don’t know how you feel about the article.
HockeyFighter217: (mouth hanging open) WOW! You did everything Mr. Ardito asked you to write. I am impressed. I liked what you wrote, how you feel about the article and how you asked very intriguing, serious questions. Since I read everything you wrote in the article I am asking myself the same questions as you did. I think it is horrible that two planets crashed into each other and blew up. I think the scientists are wrong. Anything can happen in space. It like has its own time and a whole new world out in the stars. I think now it is hilarious that three people (that I read) wrote about space. Ponyboy111; you, HockeyFighter217; and me, Milky Milk. I personally think you did great. I don’t think you left anything out, but that’s me.
go army beat navy's article
I knew dogs had emotions. But I didnt know anything like that. Im impresed.
I think this article whould be interesting I might read it.
idk345's article
I kind of knew that you could get
energy from water but i still think its amazing.I like the idea for an article it was probably written well.
paintballmonkey8's article
I didn't realy like the way you wrote your response. first of all whats a cycle, and your first paragraph is 1 sentence. I didn't even understand half the words in the first sentence.
Comments to: Milky Milk
When I posted my report, I noticed yours right next to mine. I thought wow; Milky Milk’s topic is much like mine, later discovering that it was mine. If I had known that you had chosen the same black hole article as I did, I wouldn’t have proceeded writing my report. Besides that, I can see why you picked that article in particular. I liked how your reflection included that you enjoyed reading it in a sense where you could see the good side of black holes. Both of us included how some people find black holes intimidating. I too feel that black holes are more good than bad, creating more than they destroy. I’m glad you recognize that quality and you did a great job expressing it. You included all that was asked and had some great questions. In the future, you should describe the article in a few sentences rather than posting the whole thing.
P.S. When something goes into a black hole, it gets trapped in its extreme gravitational pocket, forever being stretched into infinity.(answer)
Comments to: eli manning rox
It was nice to find someone who actually found an article that was controversial. I congratulate your truthfulness and your ability to refrain from sugarcoating your feelings. I really liked your reflection because it was different from most other blogs I read. You liked your article of choice because it was interesting in a way where it made you disagree and feel mad. I think that its cool that they found a substitute for tobacco and knowing that scientists proved it otherwise made reading it even better. I think you did a great job explaining your disgust toward the topic of the article and your feelings about tobacco. I would appreciate a little more to read from you, only because I want to know more about what you read. In the future you should give some more detail about the tobacco substitute to give your reader more background knowledge.

I think that it is a major breakthrough that we finally found a possible substitute to a renewable score of energy. I liked how you admitted that you did not understand parts of the article. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that quality in any other blogs. I liked your report because it was nice and short to read. I was confused while reading your reflection; you did not include enough detail for me to fully understand what you read. You worded your sentences in ways that were unclear to me. In the future you should commit to writing a bit more and picking an article that was understandable to you. I think you did a great overall performance and an excellent job picking a cool article.

I liked learning about this new renewable energy resource. This is definitely something our planet needs. Your comments would have been better if they game more detail on how this is doen.
hellothere!
You did a good job summarizing the article. The idea of people being timekeepers sounds sort of like science fiction, but it is very interesting.

It was interesting to learn that sugar can be addicting just like heroin and cocaine. Maybe this explains why some people just can't stay away from sweets. Some details on how the experiment was done would be helpful.
