Vitamin PV: Perfect Vision


Nowadays, you see people wearing glasses or contacts everywhere you go. But if there was a daily vitamin that people could take which could give them 20/20 vision after taking daily use of vitamins in the morning, specifically Vitamin PV. People would want to buy this product because it would clear the hassle of contacts and glasses. The product may cause dizziness if taken when your pregnant. Do not take this product with any pain killers because it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. It would also maintain your vision in old age.

Even though I don't need vision aids, if I were someone who needed glasses or contacts, I would buy Vitamin PV. I think if someone could come up with a product like this, it would sell very fast and make A LOT of money.

The symbol of a bird represents the sharp eagle like vision you will obtain after consuming this product.

Biological Breakthrough: Mutated Zebra Fish


The scientists, are now able to clone fish, with a pretty good understanding of what will come out of it. They do this by dumping a male fish into the chemical mutagen ethylnitrosourea. Then when offspring are produced, the embryos are mutated. and after born, a mutated fish is produced.

I feel that this is a pretty big biological breakthrough in the cloning field. However, I cant predict an outcome of the whole thing. The idea of cloning and mutating fish is just something that is very new to this society in my opinion. But, i think the scientist's know what their doing, and by doing this it can be done for a good cause.

Entrepreneur Blog: My dad, a Florist (owner)


My dad is the owner of the Powell Flower Shop in chinatown. His job is to make floral arrangements for funerals, weddings, and all sorts of holidays. He works day and night, during weeks with many orders, and has no time for a lot of things because of this. He earns his living through a lot of hard work, but he gets it done.

After thinking about what my dad does as his job, I feel that he's a hard worker and I should learn this important quality from him. The money he makes is hard earned and helps the community, so it's for a good cause too. I predict that my dad knows what he's doing and his business will work out.

Sorry Mr. Olson, but my dad's business is only about 7 months since it opened and he does not have a site yet, hopefully you can understand since I don't have a link.

Your belly fat could be making you hungrier


After reading this article, it really makes me think about obese people and how they eat a lot. Nowadays we see obesity everywhere, and its a stereotype that all obese people eat loads of food. But after reflecting on the article, maybe you can consider that they can't help themselves, because the article states that the brain naturally produces it, and then studies show the abdominal fat also produces it leading to even more hunger. The article also shows that they can use this as a way to save obese people, because they say that the hormone that makes people hungry goes into the circulatory system and by that, they can take blood samples looking for the hormone and then send the person to therapy because they get very obese. So, in total I learned about obese people and why they made eat a lot.

Evolution


The presentation explained a lot about evolution. Along with that it showed a lot of diagrams showing the slow change of evolution amongst the related species. The presentation also had a debate between Darwinism vs. Creationism. The presentation also revolved around the 5 Evidence of Evolution: 1 Biogeography 2 Comparative anatomy 3 Molecular Biology 4 Fossil Record 5 Developmental Biology. Another main question was, "How do we get related species so spread out on the earth? The answer to that was, because at one time all the continents were very close together. That was the overview of the evolutionary presentation.
