LAKE NEOS
Hey there! Did you know that there's a really stinky fart in Cameroon that's super dangerous? Cameroon is a country in Africa that's famous for growing coffee, cotton, and cacao. They also have a really good soccer team called the Indomitable Lions. They've been to the World Cup nine times, which is more than any other African team! In 1990, they did really well and made it to the quarterfinals, but they lost to England in extra time. England went on to the semi-finals but lost again, which is a whole other story.

Why People Risk Their Lives To Harvest Açaí
Did you know that harvesting acai berries in Brazil is a really dangerous job? Workers have to climb thin palm trees deep in the Amazon rainforest to get them. Even though these berries are really popular in the U.S. and are called "superfoods," they can be really expensive. One bowl of acai can cost up to 15 dollars! But even though acai is really popular, small farms in Brazil haven't been able to make a lot of money from it. Most acai in Brazil is still harvested by families on small farms, but big plantations are starting to take over. This is putting pressure on families like Lucas Nogueiras and their way of life that has been around for generations.

Why Only 1% Of Japan’s Soy Sauce Is Made This Way
Did you know that a barrel can last for more than 100 years? Yasuo, a man from Japan, makes barrels out of bamboo strips. He wraps the bamboo around the barrel because soy sauce is really salty and can damage metal. It takes at least three people to put together one barrel, but not many people do this anymore. Modern machines have taken over and most barrel makers in Japan went out of business. But Yasuo learned how to make his own barrels!

How Will Our Universe End
Have you ever wondered how the universe will end? We all know about the Big Bang, which started everything, but have you heard of the Big Crunch? It's not a candy bar, I promise! Scientists believe that the universe began with a huge burst of energy, but they're not sure how it will all end. Some theories include the Big Freeze and the Big Rip, but the Big Crunch is the most likely. It means that everything in the universe will eventually come crashing together, like a giant implosion. It's kind of like when you squish a piece of paper into a tiny ball. That's what the universe might look like in the end.
