Dish Soap Helps Slide New Bridge Into Place
Who knew that dish soap was the secret ingredient to bridge building?
Engineers from around the United States, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and its partners all gathered on Tuesday to watch something truly remarkable.

SoundsGood doubles as a hearing aid and an earring for women! It is shaped like an earring but it collects and amplifies the sound waves to assist listeners. It also converts these waves into graphic signals that can be read by the speaker. The color and frequency of the waves convey different messages. Thus, the speaker can receive the feedback and accordingly change the speed or volume of his/her talk. The different colored and patterned waves also act as nice decorations for the ‘earring’.
