Green Building Designs Can Help Protect Homes During Natural Disasters

http://www.enn.com/energy/article/45269

This article not only talked about how solar power and alternate fuel can be safer during
 a disaster, but it can also attempt to stopping the global warming process. The design 
of the buildings are a major outcome to whether or not a building can sustain a disaster. 
Experts believe that if buildings have solar panels and the buildings are built stronger it 
will could potentially save people's lives. Buildings in the United States produce around 
40% of global warming gases, while they also use 70% of the electricity. Scientist believe 
that if buildings are built with solar power and have an alternate fuel source, global warming 
could stop approaching at such a rapid pace. This whole article pretty much summed up how 
the United States has to start being more concerned with the Earth, and protecting it. 

Even Moderate Drinking in Pregnancy Can Affect a Child's IQ

My article was about mothers drinking during pregnancy. A study that tracked 4,000 mothers during their pregnancy. After the child has turned eight years old, scientists found that the IQ of the child is lower then normal. The IQ was about two points lower than it should have been. This was only seen in children whose mothers drank during pregnancy. Children with mothers who did not drink, had normal IQs for their age. This study was only tested with women who were moderate drinkers, not heavy drinkers. The mothers were tracked throughout their pregnancy and filled out questionnaires every couple of weeks. The children were tested with a shortened version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. This study found that Alchol during pregnancy does indeed affect the fetus.
