    Current Event Paper

    A Pakistani girl was released from a Birmingham, England hospital recently after recovering from two gunshot wounds. Malala Yousufzai, only 15 years old, was shot twice by the Taliban back in October. Malala is an advocate for girls to be educated in Pakistan, after the terrorists banned all girls from schools in her town of Swat, back in 2009. The Taliban do not tolerate people like Malala, so when she was located, she was shot. The gunshot wounds caused swelling in Malala’s skull and she became deaf when her middle ear was damaged. Doctors had to remove part of her skull so the swelling in her brain wouldn’t cause severe brain damage. Months later, when the swelling was down, doctors operated again replacing the part of her skull that was removed and adding titanium, as her head and bone fragments have changed. A cochlear device was implanted in her left ear to restore her hearing. Malala hopes to be fully recovered in a month. This terrible incident is not stopping Malala from promoting her cause. She stated, “God has given me this new life and I want to serve and I want every girl, every child to be educated.” Malala will continue rehabilitation in Birmingham, where her family is temporarily living.…

    I read an article on Wall Street Journal about the Justice Department investigating the police force in Ferguson, Missouri. They suspect possible misconduct or discrimination against the 18-year-old, Michael Brown, who was shot by one of Ferguson’s Police officer, Darren Wilson. There is still question to whether the officer is charged or not. Ferguson and surrounding areas will be analyzed on their police training and policies. The Ferguson police force welcomes the investigation and analyzing so that they can improve in any way they need to serve the community better. Further investigation in this will help ease the Ferguson community and feel like they can trust their local police force. If there were not any more investigation, this would cause a lot of uneasiness upon the people of Ferguson. They expect thorough investigation to be done so that they know for sure what really happened and if the Ferguson police force is actually discriminating against the minorities in their community or not. The police force may be at fault for approaching situations the wrong way and coming off as discriminating with the community members.…

    Current Events Article

    The Article: Plants 'Thrive' Next To Friendly Neighbors And Trees 'Gasp' For Water? Interesting! By “DOGO News” is about plants being able to talk to each other and grow next to each other because they want to. If you have ever noticed that certain plants seem to thrive next to each other, it may not be random, but because they want to be next to each other. At least that's what Monica Gagliano, thinks. She thinks that plants use some kind of sound indicating to talk with each other and depending on if it is good or bad it may allow the weaker plant to live or die. What's even more remarkable is that the scientist believes the talking can happen at the germination stage. She showed with some chili pepper, basil and fennel plants. She began by planting the chili seeds in isolated dishes next to fennel plants. Not many germinated. Then she conducted the same experiment next to some basil plants. Sure enough, the chili peppers not only germinated rapidly, but also, thrived. , Monica thinks that provided with this data, farmers may be able to use sound to encourage or discourage the growth of certain plants, helping to reduce their dependence on fertilizers and pesticides.…

Entombed under the eventful baggage of his Prime Minister’s daughter, Mr. Patel’s birth anniversary has today become a forgotten appendage to a greater event that transformed India.…
