CC # 3

New Proposal from China trying to end the the conflict in Syria. "New Proposal" calls for a stronger international support for refugees and a truce brought about in phases, including that Bashar al-Assad doesn't have to step down from President. Then on November 11, Syria groups agreed to form new governing body that will unify the many rebel groups under one umbrella. Syria National Initiative will replace the Syrian National Council, which has come to under fire for not doing its job, and having the worker, leaders not living in Syria. The new Initiative will call for younger leaders and strong representatives in Syria. What ends up happening is missiles get fired from one town to the other, mortars are dropped, and tanks, soldiers go into battle against one another.
Truly i don't think that there is a way to get involved with problems like this unless I was in the war myself, or just study problems that they have happened ever since the New Proposal has gone into affect, if they keep fighting there will most likely be updates on how the war/fight is going, if not if will just be like yay, they signed the Treaty no more violence.

Reasoning for many of years and years to come, everyone argues about "At what point does defending one's ideals turn into indefensible hysteria." People usually defend their ideals can take it to far or past the point were explaining something will be taken serious. To me ideals should not even be taking serious since its just a satisfying thought, unless the person you are chatting with looks you in the eyes and yells at you saying hes going to do this and that, there is no reason ideals should ever be fought over, I can see people sending explanations back and forth to each other but crossing the line or taking it to far should just be ignored. Defending your ideal is probably one of the main things to worry about when swapping decent thoughts of ideals, or just having information to back up your train of thought. When you or your partner start yelling at each other or getting mad looks all over your face, steam coming out of your ears, then someone knows someone has gone to far in defending their ideal.

CC# 4 Bacteria inside caffine??

A recent discovery by scientist have stated that there is bacteria inside coffee. Now coffee is needed for everyone in the morning to start their day off and get on track. So does that mean that everyone is begin harmed by this new bacteria inside coffee?

     No, no one is truly being harmed, the bacteria is just like the bacteria inside a cows, or rabbits stomach. It breaks down the cellulose from grass so that it can be digested. Coffee is not digested it is put into the blood stream to make everything seem all happy and get people day going! Scientist say that people say they cannot live without coffee are completely off track of what they think coffee is. What truly cannot live without coffee is the bacteria inside coffee that does not seem to serve a purpose.

    My take on this is that I am not a coffee person and if I was this would probably not be enough to make me stop drinking it. The scientist even state that it does nothing to harm you.

CC # 3 Army UFO's

     A recent article on FoxNews.com about "The army now building or attempting to build flying space saucers," back in 2009 Obama signed a 400 million page packet that pretty much allowed these tech guys to go threw old military cardboard boxes that had pages upon pages in them. They ended up finding these notes on making UFO's dating back to 1956.

     They found 114-pages on the whole project. Down to the very last detail on how to make one of these flying saucers actually work. After the discovery of these pages the military put time into making one for $3.2 million dollars. They got the flying saucer in the sky, but when they hit a certain point of altitude the spaceship started to wobble uncontrollably. It came with a Ram jet engine, seat injector, and they are trying to put bombs onto the spacecraft to make a new stealth strike vehicle that cannot be detected.

     My thoughts on this are that there are thousands upon thousands of people out there that claim to have seen at least one UFO, now besides the people that wear tin-foil on their head all of those people are crazy. I don't believe in anything that has to do with UFO's or Aliens. But that is a whole different subject.

CC#2 Unemployment Rate Drops

    A recent Post on Factmonster, "The U.S. unemployment rate falls," to 7.8 percent in September. Making September 2012 the lowest month for unemployment in 44 months. It is a positive sign for a struggling economy. Obama can get a boost from this in the upcoming election. 12.1million unemployed Americans, that is the fewest numbers of unemployed since January 2009.

    People being unemployed lead to unhappy relations with the family, there will be financial problems, even losing you're house for not paying bills. This seems that we either are getting lazy and getting fired for not doing what we are told, or that the company cannot hold or pay all the employes that are working.

  Really at a young age there is not much i can do to get involved with helping this problem but throw out idea's that hopefully get spread around. If I can get involved either physically or mentally, I would start something about making more jobs that is healthy to the country, and will not put other people in trouble, or any problems. For are up coming election both candidates are trying to help expand problems with unemployment's. If either of them fail at making this the rates for unemployment will probably keep dropping unless the economy changes dramatically. 
   

CC#1 Turmoil in the Middle East

   In a recent article by Tom Marshall, a New York Times reporter "Teaching About the Video that Roiled the Muslim World." A Anti American protests spread like wildfire about a week ago throughout the Muslim world, raising profound thoughts about free speech, technology and the limits of diplomacy, an obscure group of filmmakers posted a video mocking the central tenets of Islam quickly turns violent.

  On September 11, rioters forced their way into the United States Embassy compound in Cairo and laid siege to the Consulate in Benghazi. Three of the staff members had been killed, with organized militants possibly being in the assault. The Protest had spread across the world, from North Africa and the Middle East to Australia. Ways to stop this hot topic from happening over and over?

   I could connect to "Ways to Teach the Turmoil in the Middle East." is becoming apart with the situation they are facing and help spread Turmoil throughout the world, or in specific regions such as the Middle East. Stopping all these protestors will probably never happen because people always pass dumb laws, or do dumb things that end up on someone bad side that just doesn't go with them starting riots and then riots turn into huge fight's that end up getting people killed or injured.

Jordan's Bucketlist

1. Th1rteen R3asons- by Jay Asher: What i had heard about this book made me want to read it. I want to read what she gets told or how they had made fun of her. I also want to see what the tapes had on them how they made her seem like she meant nothing to anyone or anything.
2.Paper Towns- by John Green: About two weeks ago my teacher showed our class a John Green book called Paper Towns, I didn't really follow along with what he was explaining about the book but, I really want to read this book finding out what this "Paper Town" is. Is it a real town or a fake.
3.The Hunger Game series- by Suizan Collins: I watched the movie, are English teacher says you cannot just watch the movie when there is both a movie and book, you have to read both she says. So by her saying the book explains more I want to see if the movie had left something out or gave little detail then the movie.
4.Book Thief- by Markus Zusak: Mrs.Gilmore recommended that we at least have to read Book Thief if we have not by the end of the year, Not only getting recommended by a teacher the book is well known and I would like to know what the "Book Thief" is or what journey it has for me.
5.Clock Work Series- by Casandra Clare: A fan of fiction knowing that you can turn back time or go into the future with a clock would be amazing. I have not read the Trilogy to Clock work series. Even though this book looks amazing to read I did not enjoy the story it seemed to have behind it when the trailer was playing.
6.Its a Book- by Lane Smith: Well to start off the reason I would like to read this is because, Its not any thing special it is just a book. It did not explain really anything about the book other then just saying ITS A BOOK over and over. I want to see what the book is truly about knowing it is not a electronic.
7.Last Shot- by John Feinstein: Basketball is one of my favorite sport, besides that the book seems like there is a very important game on the line. Is it for money? Is it for a Scholarship? I do not know it could just be a shot that makes a team go undefeated for their perfect season.
8.The Kite Runner- Khalled Hasseini: Last year I got recommended by two teachers to read The Kite Runner, we even watched a little spotlight about it. I do not remember really anything about the spotlight but would like to read the boo.
9.Storm Keeper- Anthony Horowitz: I have read parts of the book before, but I put it down and just left it there. I would like to finish reading this and remember what had happened during the whole two chapters I had read three years ago.
10.Killer Sea- by Simon and Schinster: I have no idea or had anyone recommend this book to me. I would like to know if there is a specific event that happened that there talking about "Killer Sea" or if its just a made of book about a sea that is haunted and floods a town every year .
