I read an article about brain damage in Professional Football players who play in the NFL.


The tackling in football is becoming a colossal safety issue, because of a brain disease called CTE.
CTE is created when a person gets to many major blows to the head.  One time an autopsy was done on 91 pro football players and 87 of them had the disease.  What can prevent this?


Many people insult Pro football players because of the dangers.  The coaches on the other hand, wanted to keep their players safe so they have been working on several safety projects. some of them are limiting most bodily contact and tackling in practice and putting several medical people ready to respond to any immediate injuries.  



I think it is good that people are trieng to protect the players and making the sport safer.

Swiftlets are cunning birds that don't live in an ordinary nest.  These nests are not made out of sticks or are in a tree.  These birds live in dark caves in Asia.  Swiftlets craft their nests from their thick saliva.

Working together,  the male and female swiftlet use their long tongues to spit an outline on where the nest would be.  They carefully layer the sticky saliva on the outline and the saliva dries quickly.  Soon the nest looks like a half bowl on the damp walls.  Now for the Swiflet  couple , the nest is ready.  The nest looks and feels like dried white glue.

One cave can have hundreds of swiflet nest.  sometimes, brave men venture inside the cave and take multiple nests even though it is very dangerous.  One pound of nest can cost up to $100!

Chefs buy these expensive nests for a savory dish called bird nest soup .  this soup might only have a few pieces in it but can cost around $100!  Swiftlets not only have the tastiest home but the most expensive one in

the whole animal kingdom!!

Horse shoe Crabs

I read an artical in an old "Ranger Rick"magazine about Horseshoe crabs.
These crabs have ten different eyes and ten legs.  Eight of the ten eyes are used for sensing and the last two are used for looking and seeing just like people.  These crabs lay little green eggs that look just like peas and are only as big as a little o in the alphabet.


The "Red Knots" are becoming extinct.  Why you ask?  Well it is because of people .  these birds usually eat Horseshoe crab eggs but since people have been catching more and more crabs,the crabs don't want to come to shore as often to lay eggs so then the Red Knots don't have a full stomach to get them to their migratory homes.  The Horseshoe Crabs might not be coming to shore as often because of polluted waters....No one knows.


I Liked this artical because it proves Evolution is not true. there is one main Reason,  they stayed the same and are still the same and there is evidence proving it.
