Xeroderma Pigmentosum, “Vampire Syndrome”
Humans need sunlight to get vitamin D, but too much exposure to the sun’s UV rays can
hurt you. About 1 in 1 million people have xeroderma pigmentosum and are extremely sensitive
to UV rays. These people must be completely away from sunlight, or will experience extreme
sunburns and breakdown of the skin. If someone with the condition isn’t careful, they could
easily develop skin cancer.
Xeroderma pigmentosum is caused by a rare recessive mutation of the repair enzymes.
Functioning normally, these enzymes fix broken DNA that can be caused by UV rays. While
there are some treatments available, the best prevention from damage is merely staying
completely out of sunlight, just like a vampire.If you go in the sun you’ll get burned and it will be
extremely painful. It doesn't just affect the skin though, it causes dry and scaly skin, as well as
spider veins, it can discolor the eyes and make your eyes hurt. Another thing that can come out
of having this disorder is dwarfism or even mental retardation, and people barely live past 40.
Luckily it is a recessive autosomal disorder, and occurs in one in every one million people.

Riddles
Two girls have the same parents and were born at the same hour of the same day of
the same month, but they are not twins. How can this be possible?
They weren’t born in the same year.
They have not flesh, nor feathers, nor scales, nor bone. Yet they have fingers and
thumbs of their own. What are they?
Gloves.
A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your
exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will
pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no
matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy
ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
The man did exactly as he said he would and wrote "your exact weight" on the paper.

GOAL!
Tweet! It was the finals of the tournament. The game was slow and we got scored on
early, but right before halftime my team made it 1-1. After halftime my team was ready
to score another, the game was still going slow and we didn't end up scoring, but neither
did the other team. We then went to PKs and my team was up and we had scored all of
our PKs, it was my turn, and if we made it we would win. I had to make this shot, I ran
up and shot into the right corner, and I scored! My team won the tournament.

Winter Break
I was in the airplane super excited to land in San Diego. This winter break was going to
be one of the best i've ever had. The trip was fun but my favorite part was when we
went to coronado beach. That day me and my mom were standing next to the USS
Midway, and we watched one of the many aircraft carriers go out into the ocean for a
training run. Next, we went to Coronado beach. It was really cool, the sand sparkled
gold and it was really warm outside. The water on the other hand, was very cold, so I
mostly watched the aircraft carrier in the distance. San Diego was a great winter
getaway for me and my family.

Who Knew
Do Dogs Dream? Yes, in fact dogs dream like humans and about similar things.
Many people believe that dogs do dream. Most dog owners have noticed that at various
times during their sleep, some dogs may quiver, make leg twitches or may even growl
or snap at something in their dream, giving the impression that they are dreaming about
something.

Why is the sky blue? A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in
the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look
towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has
been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

How many licks to the center of a tootsie pop? A group of engineering students
from Purdue University reported that its licking machine, modeled after a human tongue,
took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Twenty of the group's
volunteers assumed the licking challenge-unassisted by machinery-and averaged 252
licks each to the center.

I survived
On April 20th, 1999 in Jefferson county, Colorado, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold
murdered 13 students and injured 24 students at columbine high school. Harris and
Klebold had both been to juvenile detention camps previous to the shooting. They went
to juvenile detention for discussing their plans to shoot up columbine. They were both
released early for good behavior, but right when they returned home they kept
discussing their plans. On April 20th, 1999, they had placed bombs set to detonate
when they were inside (most bombs they made didn't detonate), and before the
shooting they had seen a friend outside. Brooks Brown was outside the school when
Eric Harris said to him “It doesn’t matter anymore, I like you now, get out of here, go
home.” They killed 3 people in the cafeteria and then they proceeded to the library,
where they massacred 10 students. After the library massacre, they roamed the halls
and teased students. Klebold and Harris exchanged shots with police officers many
times during the attack, but they never injured any officers. An hour after the shooting
started, Harris and Klebold committed suicide in the library of the school.

Technology
As most of us know, Apple has almost always created great devices, and the
IPhone 8 will be no exception. The IPhone 8 is expected to be Apple’s biggest update to
the device ever. It’s rumored to have a new OLED display that covers the entire front. If
they did that, they would have to completely remove the home button. Nobody knows
for sure what will replace the home button, but some concepts include ideas like a touch
bar similar to the one on the macbook pro. The touchbar would work like the macbook
pro’s touchbar, displaying different icons while on different apps. The IPhone 8 will be
an extreme technological advance for society, offering many features that are never
before seen. All in all the IPhone 8 looks very promising as a future device we will see
soon.
