   Have you ever heard of blue light rays? No, not the laser beams you see on television! We’re talking about Ultraviolet rays or UV rays, they are harmful to eyes and we can’t see them. UV light can burn your skin just how the sun can. It makes sense since blue ray light also comes from the sun. The sun is a source of the full spectrum of ultraviolet radiations which is commonly subdivided into UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Even though UV-A and UV-C are both very harmful they mostly get aboard in the atmosphere making them less harmful. Even though 95% of UV-B rays are absorbed by ozone in the earth atmosphere. UV Light is still dangerous and can cause waste and demise of retinal pigment epithelial cells and  the demise of light sensitive cells can cause irreversible loss of vision. It could also cause eye cancer. There is a type of sunscreen that can protect you from UV rays and it is called “Zinc Oxide”. 

A solution

Most people that would like to protect their eyes from blue light rays, wear blue light glasses. The blue light filter decreases the amount of blue light on the screen of your device. Blue light suppresses your body's production of melatonin which can make it hard for you to sleep. So filtering blue light would also help you sleep better. Filtering the blue light will also put less strain on your eyes so you will not feel as tired and strained at the end of the day.

Blue light harms our eyes by damaging the retina. Did  you know that people spend around 5.4 hours a day using any device of any sort .

In Conclusion, UV-B rays are HARMFUL and you need to protect your eyes.

   - Ammara H. and Malori B .          Most kids big and small have played with legos at least once in their life, yet never knew the amazing story of the lego.  Its story started in 1932,  with Ole Kirk Christiansen who was just a simple carpenter with a large ambition.  As a young man he turned his love for carving and playing with wood into a business, and in 1916 he opened his own shop. In the beginning     he produced furniture like ladders, stools, and ironing boards. In 1924 he was looking to expand his business, but his son accidentally set a pile of wood on fire and put their shop and home in flames. Most people would think of that as a great loss, but Christiansen saw the fire as an opportunity to expand the shop.      TOUGH TIMES                        Even with all that happened, tragedy continued to fall onto Christianen. In 1929 the american stock market  crashed and plunged the world into a depression, then in 1932 his wife passed away. With everything going on Christia

Umbrellas are useful tool in our society aren't they? Imagine combining a a Umbrella and a bird..... It won't look quite like this: It would look more like.... this : Umbrella birds are large birds that inhabit central and south America. There are three species of Umbrellabird: the Long-Wattled Umbrellabird, the Amazonian Umbrellabird, and the Bare-Necked Umbrellabird. Each species of bird each has a similar crescent-like umbrella shape on their head ( the reason they are called umbrella birds.), But it's easy to differ on which species of umbrella bird you are looking at. Long-Wattled Umbrellabird      The Long-wattled Umbrellabird is about 11 inches long, black, and its diet consists of insects, lizards, and fruit. The male has a large wattle hanging from its chest, made of feathers. It also has a crest that goes from the top of its head to the end of its beak. This looks like an umbrella, and that’s what gives the bird its unique name. When mating, the male inflates
