Yulin vs. Tihar

Most everyone has heard of Yulin the Chinese festival of dog meat, right? I've seen so many posts of Yulin on insagram, saying how bad is is. So I finally googled Yulin festival pics, and what I found, it was terrifying. It was like looking at a real life nightmare! So I keeped on scrolling down the page(no idea why) and saw a pic of  Nepal's festival, Tihar. I looked it up, and found that it is a festival to honor dogs for loyalty, and I swear I almost cried. I couldn't believe that while something so terrible is happening, something amazing can happen at the same time! It blew my mind, and I though everyone should know about it! I mean we tend to focus on bad things that we forget what good things that are happening! Which do you think is bigger? Yulin or Tihar? Write it in the comments.

EOG on the Computer

Now that most eogs are on the computer I thought I might write about the ups and downs of eogs on the computer. So the ups would be: saving paper, harder to cheat. The downs: You cant scribble on the test, computer screens can distract kids, the computer can shut down, tempts kids to play games. I personaly think that the eogs should stay on paper.

Solar News

You know everyone thinks that the big red dot on Jupiter is just part of the planet and it will never change, well at least I did. That big dot is a storm bigger than earth!!!! It's been going for hundreds of years(Talk about immoral). I've never ever seen a storm that big!(Hints, Bigger than Earth!!). And we can't forget that our galaxy is the only galaxy in the universe WRONG! Galaxies are so common there is even 3 different types, not 3 Galaxies, Types! Humans have made so many conclusions that aren't true!  Like for example, Earth is the ONLY planet that can support life, Technically we haven't explored every place and planet in The universe so how do we know???

Hillary Clinton

In 1995, Hillary Clinton joined world leaders in Beijing for a United Nations conference on women. She delivered a very powerful speech, calling for action toward achieving women's rights.

She was first lady then. Today(20 years later), she was back addressing the same assembly on the same issues. In between, she’s been a senator, a presidential candidate, and a secretary of state. Now everyone thinks she is a presidential candidate in the 2016 race for the White House. In the introduction she was given to the attendees who had gathered at the UN building in New York today, she was referred to, amongst most excited cheers, as 'future president.'

Google's New Tablet for the fight aginst ebola

Due to the risk of contamination, he would take notes on pieces of paper and walk the piece of paper to the edge of the fenced area and yell the information to someone on the other side of a fence, and later burn or destroy the piece of paper. “The paper can’t come out of the high-risk zone,” Ivan Gayton says.

Ivan Gayton called Google again, and the company responded with a new piece of equipment  a computer tablet that could take the place of those paper notes and all that yelling over the fence.

Google helped build a specialized Android tablet where doctors could record medical information from inside the high-risk zone and then send it wirelessly to servers on the outside of the high-risk zone. Here in everyday America, a wireless tablet may seem like the basic technology, But in the middle of an Ebola epidemic in West Africa, which has limited internet and other tech infrastructure, it’s not basic technology.The tablet can be dipped in chlorine and removed from the facility, and the server runs on battery power. “It’s very impressive, and it’s unique.”says  Dr. Eric D. Perakslis.

Names

I have been called many names in the past,funny ones, mean ones, and just plain dumb ones. My name my sister gave me when she was born was 'yaya' and I'm OK with that name 'cause she couldn't say Olivia, my dad still calls me yaya. But I have been called dysfunctional, a monkey, stupid, and dumb! I hate mean names 'cause they just mean the person who called you them is insecure. So names don't mean anything to me.
