• Objective Summary:

This article is about a drone you can control from your app.This could be very useful for different careers in life.

• Connection:

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.

• Reaction:

• How do you feel about this event?

I think it’s a great invention because they could maybe reduce robberies,kidnapping,and other sorts of crimes all around the world.This could be a drastic change for places like Chicago,and other places with high crime rates.

I would by one of these to watch over my house or to just have one to see all the different activities i can do with it.I would like to have something like this just because secret services could have it and that would be awesome

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

• Reaction:
  I was amazing at how fast this animal's acceleration speed was.It's fast than a .22 caliber that is pretty fast.

  I think this animal is a breakthrough to our technology.Since our society are always hungry for new and advanced technology.We could use this animal to help us exceed that.
• How do you feel about this event?
  I think it's cool i didn't think a little animal like this could strike faster than a gun could shot.That is just incredible to know about this animal.
• How does this event affect you?
  The researchers are saying that this could help make the materials cars,and etc are made out of more stronger,and impenetrable. Which makes it safer for us if we were to get into a wreck of any kind.

• 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.
• What is the author’s point of view, and how does it impact the overall effect of the text? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.

THE AFTERMATH OF THE HOLOCAUST summery

http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005129


This article talked about after World War II.The victim's of the Holocaust were terrified to return home,they were scared to death.Also how there were a lot of people who hated the Jews,and riots who disliked the Jews abused them and even sometimes killed them.So the people started boarding ships and taking their families to other countries.But not all the ships made it through some were sent back by the British because of restrictions.Also the different organization's such as the UNRRA,joint distribution committee,and ORT, that were trying to help Jews get shelter,food,water,clothes,and security.The Jewish Brigade group fighting to earn emigration opportunities that they didn't have at the time.

McCallum,Jack.Where does LeBron James rank among all-around greats?.4 Mar.2013.n.i.sportsillustrated.Web.18 Feb.2014.

Article citation:”LeBron James wants longer break”.Disqus.Disqus.18 Feb 2014.Web.18 Feb 2014. Take a position on the issue in the article. I understand what LeBron is trying to say.With him being one of the greatest basketball players of all time the NBA is trying to get him into a lot of commercials.And his endorsements,for his shoes,the LeBron foundation,and etc.Also having back to back games and being on those planes for eight or nine hours at a time your body gets tired. How do you feel about this event? I would demand for a break also.With that long schedule,and playing eighty-two games a year is rough.Even playing on holidays ,and your birthday,and late at night.Then after the game you have practice sometimes six to twelve hours it all depends.Fundraisers,meetings,basketball camp,spending time with your family. How does this event affect you? If the player’s on my team fill the same the same way.Then a busy could wear your body out drastically.And the player may not have much energy as they would if they had gotten a break in their schedule.Because these guys work hard,sometimes for days and days,early mornings through late nights.

• Objective Summary: Experts say that video games are bad for teens.They say they don’t have much educational use.Plus teens are spending too much time on them that they are missing school.

• Connection: I play video games a lot.But i don’t play them 11hrs at a time.Unless it’s the summer time.When there is really nothing else to do.But when school is in session i may only play like 2-3 hrs.

• How does this event/article relate to what we’re reading/doing in your classes? We play video games in game club.It’s a very good way of bonding with people even if they are shy.

• Reaction:

I'm not surprised adults would say something like this.Most don't even play video games.Or think about all the things video games could do for a child,your child,that i listed below.But they are some people their are way into videos games.I mean they play all day and night.Have everything in their room so they never have to even get up out the bed or chair they are sitting in. They have all the latest Pokemon games,no job at all,living in their mama's house,and living off her disability check and social security.Now that's what those experts or whatever are always seeing or talking about.But i see a different side to the story.There is always two sides to a story.No matter what it is about.

• Take a position on the issue in the article.

Just say that you don't let you kids ever play video games.They don't have much room to be creative as they could be and i hope this not true but what if your kid is paralyzed from the waist down,they are in a wheelchair.They can't just go outside with kids who ain't disabled and start playing football or basketball.With a game system they could play Madden or play NBA2K12.The can play a exhibition game or just create their own person so they can achieve in the game for what they can't do in reality.And kids nowadays are very very creative i know this because i have a lot of little cousins that are young.They are always making something artistic and brand new.I be like what are you doing and they are like making something.

• How do you feel about this event?

I feel like some video games have educational use.Like this game i have for my Nintendo D.S. it helps you learn new words and things like that. Nintendogs helps you learn how to take care of dogs and learn responsibility before you actually get a dog.Nintendo Wii has a game that is like your personal trainer and you work out and everyday you workout and it lets you know your progress.

• How does this event affect you ?

I think not all video games are useless.Some help you be very creative and also some help you workout.Also it's a good way to interact with friends far away who don't have a Facebook.You can play online with them and you can also use this to play with friends that go to different schools,family members,anyone you would like.

Current Event

• Take a position on the issue in the article.

This article is about foreign countries getting advanced technology such as Beats music.How it adapts to your musical taste or what you like.And the different features that app has,how you can customize it,and rearrange how you like.

• How do you feel about this event?

I think it is good that foreign countries are getting advanced technology.Beats audio is starting to take over this U.S. economy with it’s latest headphones,pill,app.These people deserve to listen to their favorite types of music.And have a customization profile account.But i do not like the 9.99 a month fee.Beats already is a multi-million dollar incorporation.Why do they need 9.99 cents a month.

• How does this event affect you?

The love listening to music when im in class or im at home.I think music helps me do a better job on my work or while i am working.Everyone loves a certain type of music,really doesn’t matter which type it is.It is still considered music.Beats app pertains to everyone in the entire world.

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

This event relates to class because we are a technology based school.So we are on the computers a lot and use apps off of our Google chrome account to help us achieve success.A lot of us can focus when we are listening to music.Which helps us in class and also at home.

• What is the author’s point of view, and how does it impact the overall effect of the text? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.

He doesn't think the Beats app is that good.He thinks the the other apps he has used previously have been better than the Beats app he had currently used.Playlists I tried out where decent, though not as uncannily accurate as the stations I’ve grown used to on Rdio – but then again I’ve had far more time building a musical profile of my tastes at Rdio.If the person who wrote this article doesn’t like the playlists.Then how many more people are not going to like the app.If people are not willing to pay the 9.99 for your app then that defeats the purpose of your app.
