This would be useful for the army Because in case they are looking for a terrorist or something they don’t have to bring out a entire chopper with a camera they can just take this drone and look at the stakeout place.No hassle,no having to leave you comfortable fort,you just have to grab your cellular device and tell it where you want it to go and just watch on your phone.

• How does this event/article relate to what we’re reading/doing in your classes?

We learn about how technology is always getting better and how our society is starting to rely on them more.Especially our school because most of our assignments are done digitally.They have apps for home security systems,game systems,cable service,the radio,and etc.

By giving a lot of detail about the invention.This invention has built-in 14-megapixel camera that can shoot 180-degree footage with its fisheye lens. In a demo, its 3-axis image stabilization produced shake-free video (which is great, because that whole shaky cam fad always left me on the nauseous side). The quadcopter also has a gyroscope, accelerometer, altimeter, magnetometer, ultrasound, and vertical camera tucked inside its frame to keep actual flying super smooth as well.That is amazing that that drone has a camera that efficient

• Image (MLA Format citation):

• Objective Summary: The Warriors fall to the Trail Blazers in a great overtime duel.Stephen Curry scores forty-seven points.But it’s not enough to stop the Blazers.
• Connection:

• How does this event/article relate to what we’re reading/doing in your classes?

• Reaction:

I wasn’t surprised that the Trail Blazers won but i didn’t think the score was going to be this close either.The Golden State Warriors should have won this game.But let it slip out of their hands.

• Take a position on the issue in the article.

If i were the Warriors i would be upset about losing a game the team should have won.These kind of games break your team’s confidence going into the playoffs.And that is not good for them.

• How do you feel about this event?

I feel that both of the teams have great basketball players and are very dynamic when it comes to playing basketball.For example Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson for Golden State are two high scoring players.And LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard are two all around great players on the Trail Blazers.

• How does this event affect you?

I love watching a great game.When these kind of games occur it really excites you.Because more than likely someone’s going to have to take the game winning shot.And when the person makes the shot it makes you even more excited to being a basketball fan.

http://www.nj.com/gloucester-sports/index.ssf/2012/09/philadelphia_eagles_coach_andy_1.html

• Objective Summary:

The article is about the Eagles inquiring running back Darren Sproles. From the Saints for a fifth round draft pick.Also inquiring Nolan Carroll from the Dolphins.

• Connection:
  Darren Sproles and Lesean Mccoy aka "Shady" are two of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL.Darren Sproles breaking the all-time record in 2011.And Lesean McCoy the record for most yards in a game and in season. Sproles is ten years older than McCoy so he could mentor him or give him suggestions.Chip Kelly likes his team to be very fast-paced as we could see when he was the coach of the Oregon Ducks.So he will accommodate players that he thinks will help him achieve that.

• How does this event/article relate to what we’re reading/doing in your classes?

• Reaction: I was surprised when i heard we were getting two former Saints Malcolm Jenkins,and Darren Sproles was being dropped by the New Orleans Saints,and picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles.Darren Sproles is a very dynamic player and a great asset to any team he goes to.And with the fast paced offense the Eagles use to run their offense Sproles would fit in perfectly.Also they were able to pick up former Dolphins play Nolan Carroll.

• Take a position on the issue in the article.

I gave the Eagles a round of applause for taking advantage of the Saints dropping Sproles because many NFL teams were looking to add him.The Eagles got to him first so they were able to add him to their team.

• How do you feel about this event?

I love the Eagles they are my favorite team.And us getting new accommodations like Darren Sproles,Nolan Carroll are great for our team.I think the two will have no difficulty fitting into the Eagles offensive and defensive scheme.

• How does this event affect you?

I have been a Eagles fan for years and i think that how we did 2012-13 season.We will do ten times better this year.Because of our new accommodations,and the draft picks we could pick up for the 2013-14 season will help us enhance our plans for making it to the Super Bowl.

To show how good Darren Sproles really is.He played a big role in the Saints offense.According to the ESPN article,with 1,067 rushing yards,1,981 receiving yards,and 21 touchdowns.

Current Event 4

• Objective Summary: This is about the Chicago Bulls NBA basketball team signing Jimmy Fredette. How they bought him out of his contract with the Sacramento Kings.Also how him will be a great fit for the the team.

• Connection: Many teams are in the NBA are in the rebuilding stage.Which means they are trying to get new players to fit in with the star players that are already on the team.This process could take maybe 2,3,or 10 years it just depends.

• How does this event/article relate to what we’re reading/doing in your classes? It pertains to what we do in class by using the word build.We try to do at our school is build confidence and also a great career opportunity.

• Reaction: I understand what Jimmy Fredette means when he says that he wants to be on a winning team.He has been with Sacramento for three years until the Bulls signed him.He just wants to win a Championship like most players in the NBA.I feel like he will be a great asset to the team because he is a great all-around player and very hard working.The Bulls look for players with this characteristics to help injured MVP Derrick Rose when he comes back from his injury.This will Rose not have to play so many minutes and take some of the weight off of his shoulders.This article affects me because i am a big Bulls fan and to see that we are taking advantage of the opportunities that are available for us makes me very happy to be a Bulls fan.We play with a "never give up" kind of way.So we need need players that's gonna do the same.
