Grabber: Vladimir Putin claimed that Russia had an Ebola vaccine, and no one believed him.
Where/When: October (first stages)/Early January (developed)
Why/How: The most funded and most developed scientists in the world are not even close to finishing.
What: Putin announced, during the preliminary stages, that a vaccine was better than the one with a 100% success rate.
Who: Vladimir Putin and Ira Longini
What now: Russia has came far too late into the game, as the last reported case in Liberia was 42 days ago. They would never be able to test it at the same level as the other scientists, and it would probably never be licensed for use around the world.
Summary: Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that Russia has an Ebola vaccine, and no scientists believe him. In early January, he announced that, after only preliminary testing, a vaccine for Ebola worked better than already created vaccines. The developer of the most effective vaccine, with a nearly 100%

Where/When: Early January , Midwest
Why/How: Apple stated a reminder that phones should not be in below freezing temperatures
What: Your phone could have damage done to it by the subzero temperatures, due to a freezing battery.
Who: Apple and Huffington Post
What now: Keep your phone warm, and if it is in the cold, keep it near the warmth/
Summary: The winter cold could break your phone. Here in Ohio, we’re used to the winter cold. Unfortunately, our phones are not. Due to your phone’s liquid battery, Apple recommends leaving it in temperatures not above 80, and not below freezing. Keeping your phone in the cold could cause damage that causes it not to respond to touch, have a shorter battery life, and possibly be much slower. Apple tells us, don’t take your phone out in subzero temperatures. If you do, put it near something warm when you have the chance. Keep this in mind, especially this January as the wind chill drops below
Through the rise of technological advances in medicine, the vaccine has changed the world for the greater good of the human race. Making a great triumph and virtually eliminating an array of life-threatening diseases, from smallpox to diphtheria, thus adding approximately thirty years to many humans’ life spans. Although, a new complication has arisen, possibly linking neurological digression with this rise of new vaccines. Such a digression has forced parents to exempt their children from receiving vaccinations and brought forth mental anguish affecting the minds of many.
Early this February the states surrounding the great lakes in the northeast were pounded by lake-effect snow storms. Some areas saw more than four feet of snow. These states are accustomed to lake-effect snow storms, but it has been some time since they last saw one of this magnitude. Some areas saw up to 140 inches in less than twelve days. The storm was accountable for 35 deaths. (msn.com 2007)
Protection methods for your mobile phone or smartphone are important to help protect it from attacks. Activate encryption and remote wiping capabilities. Use the same security methods for email and text messages that use the same protocol as computers.
Antecedents: In 2010, two former Merck’s virologists, Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski, accused Merck in 2010 of faking the efficacy of its measles vaccine and filed a lawsuit against Merck
In an interview with the American Academy of Achievement, Jonas Salk stated “Risks, I like to say, always pay off. You learn what to do, or what not to do.” As a man of science, Salk truly believes and lives these words every day. In his career he has surely taken many risks, chasing down new theories and ideas, only to lead to a dead end road. But one day, he stumbled upon an idea, and took a risk that left an impact on humanity forever. Not only has Jonas Salk left his stamp on the medical world with the development of the Polio vaccine, but his team continues to conduct groundbreaking research on some of today’s most deadly diseases.
Alaska is very cold and could get colder.I don’t know how people stay there for that long there's a lot of snow and ice and the water is freezing cold probably.The wind is another thing if you’ve ever
So it is clear that the vaccine is working, and a plan of action to completely eradicate polio from the world by 2018 or 2020.

Believe it or not, but investing money in vaccines actually helps our economy. When a person thinks about it, it makes sense. For every vaccine you receive, the less likely you will have to pay medical expenses if you get sick. And that money adds up, “Every $1 invested in immunization returns an estimated $16 in health-care savings and increased economic productivity” (Bustreo par. 4). Using those statistics, every ten dollars a person spends on getting a flu vaccine potentially saves them one hundred-sixty dollars from doctor visits. Imagine what that could do in third world countries where hundreds of people are dying everyday from vaccine-preventable diseases. Imagine how quickly that money could add up. Not only would it save their citizens’ lives, it would actually help their economy
Polio: An American Story describes a struggle to find a vaccine on polio through several researchers’ lives, and over the course of many years. The second thesis is the struggle between Salk and Sabin, two bitter rivals who had their own vaccine that they believed would cure polio. The author David M. Oshinsky, is describing how difficult it was to find the cure to a horrifying disease, which lasted from the Great Depression until the 1960’s. Oshinsky then writes about how foundations formed as fundraisers, to support polio research. Lastly, the author demonstrates how researchers were forced to back track on multiple occasions, to learn more about polio.
...1976, scientists have not developed a complete understanding of the virus, such as it’s natural reservoir. The non-specific symptoms make it difficult to clinically diagnose, though there are laboratory tests that can be done to help diagnose patients. Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever also spreads quickly and easily, especially in hospitals where the proper safety precautions are not taken. Thankfully, scientists and doctors have made a successful vaccination that worked on monkeys and are working on one that will work on humans, hopefully helping decrease the dangerously high death rate and help save many people that may one day become infected.
In 1976 the first two Ebola outbreaks were recorded. In Zaire and western Sudan five hundred and fifty people reported the horrible disease. Of the five hundred and fifty reported three hundred and forty innocent people died. Again in 1995 Ebola reportedly broke out in Zaire, this time infecting over two hundred and killing one hundred and sixty. (Bib4, Musilam, 1)
The discovery of the polio vaccine was an important medical and scientific breakthrough because it saved many lives since the 1950s. In the summer of 1916 the great polio epidemic struck the United states. By the 1950s hundreds of thousands of people had been struck by the poliomyelitis. The highest number of cases occurred in 1953 with over 50,000 people infected with the virus.
If the back of the phone begins to get warm particularly where the battery is placed that means more than likely the phone has a defective battery. If this is the case it is going too much more affordable and less troublesome then trying to repair or replace a cell phone that’s overheating. If the bottom of the phone gets warm towards the area where you plug in the charger. Then the charger itself could be an issue. Trying a different charger preferably one approved by the manufacture of your cell phone to see if your phone continues to heat up. If that doesn’t work contacting the phone manufacturing company would be the next step to solving that problem. If the phone is getting hot on the back above the battery compartment that means the phone itself is overheating. If the part of the phone that you hold up to your ear is getting hot not only is this a major annoyance, irritation, and health concern (you don’t want to burn yourself) it can also indicate a high possibility that there is an issue with the cell phone itself. Cell phone screens can get warm obviously but if the screen is getting too warm or even hot then this is another indicator that there is an issue with the phone itself. Just like the human body cell phones need rest. If your cell phone stays on throughout the day then remains on and plugged into a charger all night then it might just need to be powered off to rest for a little while. As androids get used apps and processes can start to run and continue to run until they are manually stopped or the phone reboots. But being constantly powered on can also cause minor software problems, which can often be solved by simply restarting the phone. Watching videos and other media content is another one of the reasons smartphones are so great. Watching a movie when traveling can make the time go by a lot faster. However watching a movie and playing videos
Cover up the exposed parts of your body with a broad spectrum sunscreen. It will help you protect from the harmful U.V. Rays, which can damage your skin. Apply a good SPF cream at least 30 minutes before moving out in the sun during winters.
