MIT Folding Car




MIT's new car called the Hiriko is an amazing idea. The car is able to fold into half its size which allows people to find better parking. It will also save a lot of money since it runs on electricity. By 2013 they plan to test launch 20 cars in Bilbao, Spain. This car will definitly help people save a lot of money. The only bad part about it is that it only going to be sold based on sharing. Each wheel of the Hiriko is have their own dedicated steering, braking and suspension to maintain space in the cabin. These whells also allow the car to turn right on the spot as well.

What I like About Winter




I like to go sledding with my family and friends. I love to have snowball fights. It also fun to snowboard or at least try to since I really don't know how to.During Winter I also like to stay indoors and watch some movies, drink hot chocolate, and play some video games. Winter brings many different activities that you can do whether with friends, family, or just yourself.

Cure Found for Seizure Sufferers



Cure Found for Seizure Sufferers


Scientists at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that Substance P, found in bad pork, is what causes Neurocysicercosis which is infection that causes severe seizures. They found a type of medicine that can block Substance P but they still need to test it on a human subject. The medicine has been tested on mice and it seemed to have positive effects, which is a good sign. This is a very important discovery to humans. Neurocysicercosis is one of the leading causes of epilepsy in the nation and its increasing as time passes. The cure can be a life saver to many people who are suffering with epilepsy.  They will still need treatment, but stopping seizures during the treatment is key for preventing the problems that come with them.
