- Scientists used Magnetic Resonance Imaging (M.R.I.) to observe what would occur once a beatboxer starts beatboxing whilst simultaneously going through the process.

- The researchers, all of which with different scientific backgrounds, convened to compare speech with beatboxing.

- Beatboxing artists often use clicks, rolls or their breath to imitate the sounds of a drum machine and many other effects to create a short piece.

- The data was collected by using, unlike past experiences where it was only tested once,  two novices, two experts and one fairly experienced beatboxer who was involved in this experiment.

- Curious to see whether speaking several languages can impact on your beatboxing skills, they analyzed the M.R.I. of a  performer who portrayed these qualities. 

- It was found that beatboxers use acrobatic movements all around their mouths that aren't used in any established language.

- The scientists attempted to fond out more after discovering that beatboxers draw sounds from all around their mouths.

- The researchers are also comparing what the mouth/throat looks like before beatboxing and speaking to get a general outcome/conclusion.

- From this quotation, you can come to the conclusion of the main aim: “We also want to look at how beatboxers acquire new skills, which we hypothesize may bear resemblance to learning a new language,” Mr. Greer said.]]> 2018-11-08 07:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr7articles/wish/301918098 Eesha’s Article https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr7articles/wish/301918991 ‘Apple and Samsung End Smartphone Patent Wars’
- Apple and Samsung, two of the most popular and innovative smartphone companies, ended a seven-year long legal fight in June, 2018. 
- The case unfolded back in 2011 when Apple first sued Samsung for copying their iPhone design for the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Prevail.
- Samsung was forced to pay 539 million dollars to Apple back in May which was decided by a jury and reduced from the price of 2 billion dollars which Apple had first initiated.
- According to Mr. Love and Michael A. Carrier, professors who studied patent law, said “Apple won on paper, but it failed in its goal to gain a competitive advantage over Samsung and other phone makers in its series of lawsuits against them”
- Apple wanted Samsung devices to be completely blocked from markets but the courts didn’t block the product because patents at issue played only a small role in the device.

But It Can’t Let Up Now. https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr7articles/wish/301919222 Summary—After an Election Day largely free of viral social media misinformation, and with little trace of the kind of Russian troll stampede that hit its platform in 2016, executives at Facebook may be tempted to take a victory lap. But that would be a mistake

But more than anything, this year’s midterm election cycle has exposed just how fragile Facebook remains.

Even the anti-abuse systems the company put in place after the 2016 election have not gone smoothly.


Facebook has framed its struggle as an “arms race” between itself and the bad actors trying to exploit its services.

As the votes were being tallied on Tuesday, I talked to experts who have paid close attention to Facebook’s troubles over the past several years. Most agreed that Election Day itself had been a success, but the company still had plenty to worry about

Facebook has shown, time and again, that it behaves responsibly only when placed under a well-lit microscope. So as our collective attention fades from the midterms, it seems certain that outsiders will need to continue to hold the company accountable, and push it to do more to safeguard its users — in every country, during every election season — from a flood of lies and manipulation.

But Facebook would not have done this on its own. It took sustained pressure from lawmakers, regulators, researchers, journalists, employees, investors and users to force the company to pay more attention to misinformation and threats of election interference.

It is hard to imagine Facebook extending the same kind of effort to prevent misinformation and interference in Madagascar, Armenia or El Salvador, all of which have upcoming elections. And if you think Facebook will spin up a 24/7 “war room” to help stop meddling in Nigeria’s February elections, I have a bridge in Lagos to sell you.]]> 2018-11-08 07:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr7articles/wish/301919222 Paloma's Article Summary PalomaDucos https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr7articles/wish/301919423 Maybe You Were Thinking About Eating Raw Centipedes. Don't,

In China, there is hard evidence that eating raw centipedes is a bad idea.  Although it doesn't cross many people's minds, centipedes are an established remedy in traditional medicine in China. Unqualified doctors would use dried, powdered centipedes for epilepsy, stroke, cancer, tetanus or rheumatoid arthritis. The centipedes were supposed to be eaten after being steeped in alcohol but not raw. However, a previous study showed a mother and a son who ended up with rat lungworms in their brains after eating wild centipedes that the son had bought in a local market. Rat lungworms usually infect people who eat raw snails or slugs but recent studies show that they can also be found in centipedes. ]]> 2018-11-08 07:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr7articles/wish/301919423 Zeesha’s article summary zeeshayusufzai https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr7articles/wish/301920035
Volcanic eruption on Mars?

- A spacecraft orbiting around Mars took a photograph which showed a long white cloud on the red planet, this made scientists think that there might have been a volocanic eruption.


- Dr. Dobrea a scientist in the Planatary science institute said, this can not be a volcanic eruption because sulfur dioxide and other gases did not spill out 


- Many people now think that there has not been volcanic eruption as clouds form when water air is pushed upward along a mountain, as cooler, thinner air cannot hold as much water this causes the moisture to condense and freeze, whick makes the clouds. The air on Mars is thinner than on Earth, but the rules of weather physics also register over there.

This article talks about how dogs sniff out children’s socks to see if they have Malaria.
They conducted the test by having children with Malaria and children without sleep with socks overnight and see if the dogs can tell.
They found that 70 percent of the time the dogs could detect Malaria. 
Only 10 percent of the time the dogs said the children had Malaria when they did not.
The article also talked about how dogs could sniff out other health problems like people with epilepsy, lung cancer etc 
The article was not biased at all since they talked about pros and cons of having dogs sniff out certain deases.
Towards the end they started talking about how this would benefit people in places like Tanzania and other places with African Muslims 
They stated talking about this since some Muslims believe that dog spit is bad and unclean so they might not want to be sniffed by dogs.
It later says that in the holy Quran dogs can be used for hunting and guards for houses. 
People in villages were talking about how they could train other local animals like giant pouched rats (since they can sniff out tuberculosis and land mines)
Till now they are only using dogs.

The double album was released on November 1968.

The album was very different from others in its day.

The album has gone through many different remakes through the years, the 2018 one going deeper.

The album's endless spontaneity has led to its succession.

The album is whimsical and in-ward rather than tropical.

There are 6 CDs and 1 Blue Ray Disc in the new anniversary edition.

A few songs in the album react to the sociopolitical climate in 1968 .One song being John Lennon's 'Revolution'

- Studies show that suicide is already a persistent issue in Japan among adults and is growing immensely among adolescents.

- The stigma behind mental health is reportedly greater in Japan than elsewhere in the world and there is a lack of resources for young people in need. Teens and children are often overlooked in terms of their mental wellbeing and are unable to seek help.

- Many of the children who ended their lives did not leave a suicide note or give a reason beforehand, however the ones that did mostly wrote about being bullied, unbearable pressure to succeed, family problems and confusion as to what they’re going to do after graduation.

-When Japan’s Cabinet Office issued a survey, the results showed that the suicides  tended to peak on September 1st, indicating that students felt more overwhelmed by school pressures after the summer break.

- Children in Japan of this generation supposedly do not recieve as much support from family as they could have years ago, when all generations lived in one house.

- Experts say that schools in Japan are not as well equipped to deal with mentally ill students as schools in other countries. Education about the topic of mental health is lacking and students may not be aware that their condition is a serious problem.]]> 2018-11-08 07:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr7articles/wish/301922054 Dogs can detect malaria. How useful is that?

These dogs are called medical detection dogs. 

They can also detect many different types of cancer. Alert owners who are diabetic and tell them when there blood sugars are too high or low. They can tell epileptic owners when they are on the verge of having a seizure.

Dogs however will not replace laboratories. This is because there is an inexpensive rapid testing that is almost available world wide.

As an alternative to dogs the African giant pouched rat can detect land mines and turberculosis.

These dogs can take many months to train and they are not as reliable as rapid testing.
