How Math Relates to Child Soldiers

How does math relate to child soldiers?
Math relates to child soldiers because of the numbers. They have to count how many child soldiers there are. Thy have to calculate how many die, or survive each day. So each time they loose a child soldier they have to recalculate. It is a constant use of math, for the reason that there are children as soldiers who die every day. Also they use math to count how many places use child soldiers. In each place they have to count how many child soldiers they have to see who has the most. Then they have to calculate how many there are in the world. So that is how math relates to child soldiers.

Study: Running Shoes Could Cause Joint Strain

By: Rachael Rettner

The decked out running shoes may not be as good as we think for your feet and joints. Study finds that the running shoes currently on the market put more stain on the feet and joints than running barefoot or even to walk in high heels. However scientist don't suggest leaving your running high-tech shoes. Also while running and walking is great for your health it could also put stresses in your joints and feet. High heels can give damage to your knees and since running shoes typically have a heel, damages could occur. In my opinion running shoes don't do damage on the joints and feet I believe they help them. For the reason that you can personalize them to fit your own feet and they have support.
