  2. The article found on The New York Time addresses about school education and one in particular teaching about the outside world in modern society. The middle school in Brooklyn New York talks about in quote, " society’s racist beauty standards, to Musical.ly fund-raisers for L.G.B.T.Q.+ rights groups, to creative writing pieces, artwork and political letters that urge others to help victims of police brutality, mass incarceration and the school-to-prison pipeline." This has brought a lot of awareness to the students about outside conflicts that is happening right now. It gives them a opportunity to voice out their opinions and discuss it as a class. In my opinion, this idea sounds great and realistic. Not only does it apply for further knowledge, it relates to lessons in history from time to time. The second current event is about the loss of John Mcain. Quote, " For years, Mr Trump had used Twitter and the presidential bully pulpit to mock and condemn the senator from Arizona. In death, Mr McCain found a way to have the last word, even quietly making it clear through friends that Mr Trump was not welcome at the services." John was making a saying from his death.

  3. Everyone know the Wizard of Oz. But did everyone know that Dorothy ruby slippers was stolen in 2005 in the Judy Garland Museum. But they just know found them. On top of that the shoe is worthy over 2 million dollars. They found the ruby slippers but did find who was respond able for it. So the search is still on. We have a flying car that works. A video camera caught a flying Tesla. But was it really flying or was it just really speeding. We don't know.

  6. Colin Kapernick was the cover the Nike 30th anniversary ad.Telling people believe in something even if means scarfing everything. Colin was fighting for the injustice black people were getting after being murdered for terrible reasons. Areatha Franklin just died she was the queen of soul and the queen of Motown. She had funeral which was six hours long that's crazy but she deserve's it. She will be truly be missed she made all women want a little RESPECT!!

  7. This event is of a mother that claimed she was beaten unconscious and when she woke up her son was gone. Later the police found the child near a lake but, they also found blooded items in the apartment. This came to the conclusion that she murdered her son. She will be seeing time behind bars or jail time.

  8. Brett Kavanaugh didn't say a lot on the first day of his confirmation hearings. But then again, how could he, with protesters constantly interrupting the proceedings and Democratic senators staging an aggressive, sustained attack to slow the march to his inevitable confirmation.Tropical Storm Gordon killed at least one person when it made landfall late last night west of the Alabama-Mississippi border. A child died when a tree fell on a mobile home. The storm also knocked out power to at least 20,000.

  13. Kyl's appointment means the Republican attorney who had been guiding President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, through the confirmation process will now have a vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation.
    In choosing Kyl, Ducey tapped a figure who is well-liked by both Trump's political team and McCain's family and allies. However, with Kyl saying he won't run for re-election, it also leaves open the possibility of a bruising primary in 2020.

  14. After reading a article on Fox News it turns out that the world is not that cruel. After a homeless veteran "Johnny Bobbitt" gave his last $20 to Kate Mclure it turns out that Johnny would not be poor anymore. Kate and her boyfriend started a GoFundme account for Johnny which soon raised $400,000.

  16. The first event I found was the reinstatement of the Ugandan music festival, called Nyege Nyege, after it was banned by the ethics and integrity minister: Simon Lakodo. Lakodo stated that he banned the festival because he saw it as a way to celebrate and recruit young people into homosexuality. The festival was reinstated yesterday because the decision was over ruled by interior minister Jeje Odongo. Another current event I found is extremely heartbreaking to the dedicated audience and cast of "The Big Bang Theory". One of the main actresses, Mayim Bialik a.k.a. Amy Ferrah Fowler, reported in a social media post that they may only be doing one more season before they go off the air forever. As a long-time fan, this article made me very emotional because the chemistry the characters share on and off the set is relatable to my friends and I. When I left my old high school to come here, I felt lost like Leonard did in the beginning of the series. In conclusion, the continuation of the Nyege Nyege festival that has been held for the past 3 years shows the progress in the world, and the ending of "The Big Bang Theory" shows that all good thing must come to an end.

  17. People are burning their expensive Nike apparels and shoes to protest the company's ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick,an American football quarterback who is currently a free agent. Kaepernick caused a lot of controversies when he decided to sit down on the bench during the national anthem to protest over police brutality to unarmed black men. Videos of customers burning their Nike products became trending as more people started to join in on the protest.
    A woman in California faked her own kidnapping so she won't have to pay her employees. Maria Gonzalez, 33, reported around 2:30 p.m. that she had been kidnapped at gunpoint by two masked men. She lied about being kidnapped because she didn't have $9000 to pay her workers. Now police are preparing a warrant for her to be arrested.

  20. yesterday I saw these two men on wsb news shooting out of the car randomly shooting their guns taking turns. The Clayton county police said they know these two men that were shooting but they did not put the names out yet, they need to catch those idiots. There was a protest in Nicaragua because there was a bad wildfire in the spring destroying the tropical forests and in July the police went to the national autonomous university of Nicaragua and attack the students who were in defiance with the government and it lasted for several hours and leaving two dead and the rest they forced out of the university even the ones that were injured these governments now and days don't care for there people and their needs.

  29. A man named one of U.S. Marshals’ 15 most wanted fugitives was captured Wednesday — 16 years after he allegedly killed his sister and an ex-girlfriend in New York City.
    Andre Neverson, 54, was arrested after U.S. Marshals and police received information that he was hiding in a house in Bridgeport, Conn., authorities said. U.S. Marshals closed in when Neverson was spotted leaving the home. I think this is crazy because he was on the run for so long then one day he just leaves and gets caught.
    Russian police are investigating claims a boy beheaded himself with a chainsaw after losing at a computer game.
    According to reports Pavel Mateev, 15, went into his yard Monday morning before he “switched on a chainsaw and sawed off his own head.” I think this is ridiculous. Boys are too addicted to the game and it leads to stuff like this. It's never that serious.

  30. Today, Nike is being criticized for siding with Colin Kaepernick, the 49ers former quarterback, who lost his job because he was kneeling during the national anthem during football games. People are supporting it as well as some people are starting to boycott Nike by burning there shoes and refusing to buy any more of their products.

  31. Just recently Toyota had to recall 1 million hybrids. Apparently something was wrong with their electrical systems and could cause the cars to catch on fire. Richard Liu was arrested last Friday on suspicion of sexual misconduct. But was released one day later and wasn't charged for the crime, wasn't required to post bail and he didn't have to surrender his passport. Many speculate that it was a false accusation but has lead to his shares dropping by 6%.

  32. Toyota is recalling 1 million hybrids at risk of catching fire.The automaker said Wednesday that the safety recall covers its Prius, Prius plug-in hybrid and C-HR SUV models and is intended to repair a problem with their electrical systems, which in some cases can cause fires.


    More than half of the affected vehicles are in Japan, while just under 200,000 are in the United States. The rest were sold in Europe and other markets. US drivers will start receiving recall notices by mail this month.



    your iPhone isn't eavesdropping on you.ech users have long questioned whether mobile devices and smart speakers eavesdrop on their private conversations. Apple answered that question Tuesday with a resounding no.
    In a letter to federal lawmakers, the tech giant insisted that iPhones do not listen to what users are saying and said third-party app developers don't have access to audio data.

    "iPhone doesn't listen to consumers except to recognize the clear, unambiguous audio trigger 'Hey Siri,'" Timothy Powderly, Apple's director of Federal Government Affairs, wrote in the letter, which was obtained by CNN.

    "The customer is not our product, and our business model does not depend on collecting vast amounts of personally identifiable information to enrich targeted profiles marketed to advertisers," he added.

  33. since September 3, the tropical storm, Gordon, has been causing damage to Florida and is threated to hit the coastal gulf of the united states as well. This storm has caused a death of a child who lived in a mobile home in Florida as the storm neared Mississippi and Alabama. Another tropical storm called Florence is building up in the southeastern part of the united states. This storm is still building up but the forecasters are still uncertain weather the storm is going to have a big impact on land or not.

It was said that immediately after he crashed the vehicle, He got out the car and began throwing papers on the ground and smashing the windows. The man was taken into custody later on. Also, a police officer in Chicago is finally facing a murder charge for killing an unarmed African American Teen Laquan McDonald back in 2014.

  36. Twitter is working on a way remove all toxic content from it's site. They are potentially going to stop people from harassing people and posing hate speeches on their platform. Toyota is recalling 1 million hybrids over risk of catching fire. The problem involved wire harnesses that is connect to the car power control units. These can wear away over time, generating heat.

In Portugal there’s been a rise in murder in the past few months some suspect it to be the rising in population kidnapping as well due to the rising prostitution rate in Europe.

  39. After Hurricane Gordon devastated Alabama and Mississippi, Hurricane Florence approaches right behind. There is a huge debate about whether or not Florence will make landfall. Even professional meteorologists cannot predict her path. Today was the second day of Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and once again, he was grilled and falsely accused by Democratic senators. He was accused of perjury and collusion during the Russia probe, and whenever he could not answer a question quickly enough they would use that against him.

  41. Laws Punishing Homeless People for Sleeping in Public Are Cruel and Unusual, Court Rules
    i think that the law needs to stop making these rules about homeless people and start trying to help them. if they stop and try to help them get a better life then their wouldn't be a need for these rules. it not their fault that they are homeless so what are they going to do. they cant get a job because where would they be able to get dress at or take a bath? so they do what they have to do to survive not on purpose. now i know got some that be on drugs and stuff but they cant help that stuff is addicted and it probably make them feel better because of the images or mirages it gives them taking their minds off of being on the streets.
