What many UGGenthusiasts don’t kno w is that their boots are a breeding(繁殖的 ) place for bacteria and cause foot problems. Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees. Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. “These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something bees a trend or fashionable doesn’t mean it’s good or right, ” he said, “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It’s a slipper. You wouldn’t normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that’s indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas (睡衣 ) outside all the time, someone will e up and say it’s not a good idea. ” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues bee a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plas tic” and developing when they are growing. “ If that struct ure is developing in an inappropriate way,” he sa id, “then the ultimate structure will be deformed” Mike O, Neil U, a consultant surgeon, said, “As the foot slides around, you get wear and tear (磨損) on the joints on the inside of the foot. The ankle is in the wrong position, the leg bone also changes position and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems. ” UGG Australia who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Mirror that their boots are “fort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware(意識到 ) of “knockoffs” (仿制品 )which lack reinforced heels in their boots. 28.

The challenge set by Bill Gates was to e up with a latrine(公共廁所 ) which works without running water, electricity or a septic tank. It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents. 28 designs were displayed at the Toilet Fair in Seattle, USA recently. Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves, another which changed human waste into charcoal, and yet another which used urine (尿 ) for flushing. But the winner was a solarpowered design which made hydrogen gas and electricity. The team from the California Institute of Technology (CIT) picked up a prize of $ 100,000.
