Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Two amazing and dedicated journalists from the Washington Post. These two gentlemen changed history.
You may be asking how that is possible. Well i'm going to tell you ofcourse.
In the early 1970's, the United States suffered from the largest scandal ever recorded in history. Unfortunately, the betrayal came from our
highest office. The office that everyone respected and some supported, The Presidency. Many government officials and President Nixon's Re-Elect
campaign members were involved with this scandal. They committed crimes unthought of just to get President Nixon re-elected.
Many peoples homes and offices were "bugged" and were told not to speak of anything that happened in the "inner walls." If they spoke to
anyone they were told that their lives would be in danger. Fortunately, Woodward and Bernstein did not give up on printing their story. They had to
continuously search for any information that they could find. Keep asking questions which were very seldomly answered straightforwardly. Sometimes, they even had to go through riddles just to get the answers they were looking for.
Woodward and Bernstein kept looking persistently. Little did they know they were uncovering the the largest U.S scandal. President Nixon was re-elected, but all the work he went through to get there was unneccessary. He was going to get re-elected anyway.
He resigned though, to avoid the embarrassment of being impeached.

Reasons to Write..
There are many reasons to write. Well for me, I have no choice.If i don't write I will ultimately FAIL! Anyway, writing informs others,ad tells stories.While putting your thoughts on paper can be dfficult, it is an oportunity to be creative.
There are many things to write about.You can write about whats going on in your community or in your country. This is a form of informative writting. Yu can also write a story about your life or something you have experienced. Maybe a vacation or a summer camp.
Also, the writting doesnt necessarily have to be true. No this doesnt mean falsify information. It just means you can write a fiction story. Maybe you want to appeal to the younger generations. To be honest, i think there are more children's story writers than anyone else. I look around in the libraries and there's so many books for them to read. Many children hate to read though.
Other things you can write are poems or songs. These can also help you to be creative. In poetry, you can have a play on words. Things can mean more than one thing. That is the most creative thing anyone can do.
So if you dont like to write, i think you should try it. It's awesome! Plus writing can take you places you never thought you could go.It really is enjoyable and relaxing.I love it.

Lice
Head lice are parasites that can be found on the heads of people. Infection with head lice is called pediculosis. Head lice infection is very common. It has been estimated that up to one in every 10 children in school acquires head lice at some time. In one study, the estimated annual cost of head lice infestations in the United States was nearly $1 billion dollars.
Anyone who comes in close contact with someone who already has head lice, or even their contaminated clothing and other belongings, is at risk for acquiring head lice. Preschool and elementary school children (3-10 years of age) and their families are infected most often. Girls contract head lice more often than boys; women more often than men. African-Americans rarely acquire head lice.
A child can contract head lice in a number of ways. If they come in contact with an already infested person. Ths is common during play, school, or sports activities, and at school, home, slumber parties, or camp. They also wearing infested clothing, such as hats, scarves, coats, sports uniforms, or hair ribbons.
There are three forms of lice, namely the nit, the nymph, and the adult louse:Nits are lice eggs. Nits are hard to see and are often confused with dandruff or hair spray droplets. Nits are found firmly attached to the hair shaft. They are oval and usually yellow to white. Nits take about a week to hatch.The nit hatches into a baby louse called a nymph. It looks like an adult head louse, but is smaller. Nymphs mature into adults about seven days after hatching. To live, the nymph must feed on blood.The adult louse is about the size of a sesame seed, has six legs, and is tan to grayish-white in color. In people with dark hair, the adult louse looks darker.
For effective elimination of head lice, the infested individual, family members that are also infested, and the home must all be treated. Over-the Counter(OTC) or prescription medications are used to treat the affected people and their families.So if you didnt know much abouthead lice, now you do. This is very important iformation. We need to know!!
