Ancient Egyptian Mummy Found With Brain, No Heart

This 1,700-year-old mummy has a brain, no heart and plaques over her sternum and abdomen, say researchers. Here, the mummy is being unboxed on the first day of a scanning session at the Montreal Neurological Institute. This could relate to the History class we are taking. You can tell your teacher about it and they would elaborate on it. The way I feel about this is amazed. They need to discover more historical items. This event does not affect me, but it does inform me about what we have been discovering.

Breakfast Wars

Taco Bell will be serving breakfast next month, with the new Waffle Taco to  compete with the Egg McMuffin. McDonalds is going to be extending their breakfast hours from 10:30 a.m. to serving both breakfast and lunch at the same time. When Taco Bell heard about this, they made a new breakfast selection, so they can be in the breakfast wars on March 27. McDonalds has been the top seller for breakfast, but lately they have had some stiff competition from Subway, Starbucks, and now Taco Bell. I feel that this will replace the McMuffin. People like to try new things.

Panasonic launches first 20-inch 4k tablet

Article: Prospero, Micheal. "Panasonic Launches First 20-inch 4k Tablet." Tech 9 Jan. 2014 Science online. web. 12 Jan. 2014{http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/panasonic-launches-first-20-inch-4k-tablet-2D11887844}
Panasonic has one of the highest-resolution tablets on market instead of Apple now. They have made a touchscreen tablet that has a 20-inch screen. The tablet starts at $5,999, that's enough money to buy 14 iPad Airs and have money left over. 

The name of the tablet is UT-MA6. It has a magnesium alloy case and glass-fiber bezel back. From all the protection you are able to drop it from 2.5 feet. It weighs 5.6 pounds. It has 0.49 inches of thickness. It displays 16.5 million colors. A battery that is fully charged only lasts 2.5 hours. It has an optional 10 finger touch system.

I feel like this is one of the inventions that should have never been made. It is pretty much a TV but portable. This event does not effect me but it just makes me wonder why they wanted to make a tablet that big.
