Its based on the idea that there are zones, or areas, in the feet and hands that are related to other parts and systems ofthe body. For example, the tips ofthe toes and fingers are related to the head and neck, and the ball ofthe foot is related to the heart and chest. reflexologist applies pressure to specific areas in a patients feet and hands to relieve symptoms ‘or pain in other related areas. This type of treatment does not cure or diagnose specific health problems, and it does nat involve any medication. Yet many patients find that it successfully relieves symptoms of stress and disease. Reflexology is effective for pain, headaches, and sleeping difficulties, among other ailments. Applying pressure to the feet and hands relieves tension, improves blood circulation, and relaxes muscles. It promotes the ‘natural, healthy functions and wel-being of the entire body. Reflexology is often used along with other types of treatments, including conventional medicine. This gentle therapy is safe and simple. A reflexologis’s only tols are his or her hands. Pressure is strong, but not uncomfortable. I's not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatments, A typical treatment session lasts one hour. Treatment is usually focused on the feet for most of the session. A patient is asked to remove his or her shoes and socks, to sit in a comfortable reclining chair, and then to relax as the reflexologist warms the patient’ feet with his or her hands and applies pressure to the appropriate parts of the foot. The last ten minutes ofthe session are dedicated to the hands. ‘Aer relieving specific problems, many patients continue a regular program of treatment to maintain ‘good health.

At three years old she went to live with her grandparents who lived fifty miles away. Amelia was a tomboy, and loved snow sledding and climbing trees. She lived with her grandparents until she was ten. At ten she moved back with her parents and her younger sister, Muriel. ‘Amelia saw her fist airplane at the 1908 lowa State Fair. At this fair, there was a stunt-flying exhibition, and it fascinated Amelia. it was here, as she watched these planes twirling and swooshing, that Amelia fell in love with the idea of flying. Amelia actually had to wait thirteen years to take her first ride in a plane, and just six months after that, she bought her first plane. It was bright yellow and she called it Canary. ‘Amelia was very competitive, and entered many flying contests over the next several years. She continually broke the records of other aviators. To mention just a few: In June of 1928, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. In May of 1932, she became the second person to fly solo across the Atlantic 5 From August 24 to 25, 1932, she flew a solo nonstop flight from the west coast of the United States to the east coast, making her the first woman to do that. From April 24 to 25, 1935, she was the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California, At the age of forty, in 1937, Amelia Earhart wanted to be the first woman to fly around the world. She and her navigator took off from Oakland, California, and flew to Miami, then through the Caribbean to Brazil and through Africa to India. After India, they flew to Bangkok, Indonesia, Australia, and then Papua New Guinea. From Papua New Guinea, they flew toward Howard Island, 2,200 miles away. They never arrived, and despite extensive searches, they were never found. No one knows for sure what happened to Amelia and her navigator, but the world knows that ‘Amelia is one of the most important and influential aviators in history.

Rube Goldberg was bom in San Francisco in 1863. He eamed 2 degree in engineering, but he wasn't interested in it. He preferred drawing cartoons that made fun of the changes that were happening in the early twentioth contury, Inthe early 1900s, people were busy creating new machines to help make life easier and get things done faster. The U.S. Patent Office was flooded every year with new inventions for absolutely everything, Rube Goldberg saw the humor and dangers in the new inventions that were changing the lives of ordinary people. And so, for aver fifty years, he drew cartoons that made fun of the new machines. He drew “inventions” that used simple everyday items—ouckets, cups, balls, sticks, eto—connected 10 each other in funny ways to get the simplest task done in many complicated steps. Rube Goldberg ‘00k the simplest task and using the most low-tech technology, made it the most complicated task with high-tech design. His inventions became so famous that his name has been included as a noun in Webster's Dictionary. ‘One invention, for example, was the “Self-Operating Napkin,” which automatically wipes @ person's chin Here's how it works: A person lifts a sounspoon to histher mouth. The spoon pulls a string, which makes a larger spoon throw a cracker to a parrot, The parrot Rube Goldberg (n.) a comically involved, complicated invention, laboriously contrived to perform a simple operation jumps to catch the cracker. The stand, on which the parrot was sitting, falls over and makes bird seeds fall into a bucket. The exira weight in the bucket pulls a string, which lights a lighter.

Once you settle on the idea for your invention, study the market ‘you want to sel it to. Get to know as much as you can about the customers who will buy your product. Make sure it will be profitable. Main idea: Once you have identified the market for your invention, write a business plan, possibly create a sample of your product, and then go out and try to sell it.

Gases in the earth's atmosphere— ‘mostly carbon dioxide (CO,)—stop some of the heat from escaping into space so that the earth is kept warm. For the past 10,000 years, this heat has kept the earth at regular ternperatures. However, over the past 100 years, scientists have noticed higher levels of CO,.. More CO, means more heat, which means higher temperatures on earth. We've already seen some consequences of global warming. Nine of the ten warmest "years in history have occurred in the last fifteen years.
