A woman was hit and dragged 30 feet by a semi-truck when walking her dog resulting in her demise.    Though the damage does not stop there fore we never think of the one handling the grief.  The loyal companion of the woman laid by her side for hours and remained there even after the body was removed.

I believe this is both terrible and amazing, terrible in the death and amazing in loyalty.  This dog laid by their owners side hour upon hours after the death, what cat lover could claim a similar feet.  For the killer though my comment to them is to turn themselves in and be honorable.  Don’t be one of those hit and run people, take responsibility and try to help.  We should all strive to be as loyal as this dog.

This affects the world as a heart rending story of a woman and her loyal dog reminds us of are humanity.  To remind us of loyalty to others.  This all renews our sense sadness for others and their problems as we are touched by the loyalty from a death.  Laying beside their master for hour upon hours.  Would you ever do something similar?

Humans of New York

A interview by humans of New York

“I don’t think my intelligence comes across very well because I tend to get overexcited about things, like a little dog. Nobody at school notices when you’re reading Jane Austen. But everyone tends to notice when you get really excited about lunchtime.”

I chose this article, because I think it is interesting how she is not taken serious just for being a excited person.  Though it is a bit understandable as she fun people are not usually taken seriously on average.

Terrible Hacking Threatens Yearbook Day By: Dalton Stone

An emergency vote by the school board is being held on February 6 to decide whether to rent computers for the journalism class to finish the yearbook for “Yearbook Day”, due to a hacking that caused the school computers to be forced offline.

Yearbook day’s a tradition that has lasted for 22 years.  One day at the end of each school year the teachers release the seniors from class to pick up and sign the yearbooks and have fun before leaving the school.  

“MacWorld in Southside agreed to let us rent four Macintosh computers with the necessary software for $500 for three weeks.”, said yearbook adviser, Rodney Stephens.  “That’s an incredibly discounted price and much cheaper than what our yearbook company would charge us for a missed deadline.”

For the journalism class to miss their deadline would cost them not only more money, but the disappointment of most, if not all the students.  It would also be the end of a 22 year tradition.

“Whoever hacked into our system is bright.  They didn’t leave many traces.”, said district technology director, Ed Robles.  “I don’t think it was a student.  This is some pretty sophisticated hacking.”

The school wide hacking caused a great eye opener throughout the school.  It even caused a new security software to be installed on all the school computers and created a great problem for the whole school.

“We have to get our yearbooks before school is out.” said senior, Reggie White.  “Yearbook day is one of the highlights of senior year.”

Combat dog who earned Bronze Stars in Iraq shot and killed in Wyoming

A combat dog that received 2 bronze stars in service in Iraq was shot in Wyoming.  The effect on the owner of Max was terrible as he raised Max from a puppy.  Also, Max was the service dog for his owner who had many health problems.

I believe that the cyclist did feel threatened by the large dog that may have been running up hoping to play.  Though even with playful desires a dog charging you would inspire fear.  Furthermore, the dog’s PSTD may have caused him to attack the man remember danger back in the field.  Though it is terrible and I know it will affect the owner it is not the cyclist’s fault.  It is very sad though to have lost a brave dog that loyally served both the military and his master.

This impacts the world by showing the people to make sure you are in danger before attacking.  It also shows that veterans and hero’s don’t have to be just men, but anyone or thing serving our country.  This is a impact also so that the dog is remembered.  To allow us to mourn the lose of a heroic dog as we would a man.  This shows that hero’s don’t just have to be men but can be animals too.

Mars has flowing liquid water, NASA confirms

Mars has flowing liquid water, NASA confirms

by: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/09/28/mars-has-flowing-liquid-water-nasa-confirms/

NASA confirms that there is water in a liquid form that flows.

This is proved by the fact that there are dark streaks seen on the surface of Mars during the spring and summer which identifies flowing water.  In addition, hydrated minerals have been found on the surface.  NASA suggests that this shows that there may be habitual conditions on Mars.

I am very glad to see this as it would be interesting to have a colony on Mars.  Though we would have to find a faster way to go there for me to consider flying over.  This also suggest that if we have found another habitual situation then others might be found in other solar systems. The proof they have presented of there being liquid water is  convincing as it does make sense being in the spring and summer.  That is why I believe that good evidence is presented that there is flowing water on the surface.

This could affect the world as our race begins to evolve and colonize other planets and gather materials from other world so that we no longer suck up our resources.  Also are said problem of overpopulation problem could be solved this way.   In addition, this could also lead us to many scientific discoveries in medicine, energy, and many others.  Though there could be some bad as wars could begin over land claims and resources.  To sum this up this could be good or bad depending on how we proceed.
