Birds Die by Glass

 http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20120522_Researchers_study_losses_of_birds_hitting_buildings.html
In the Philadelphia Newspaper there's an article called "Birds Blinded by the Light of Philly's Glass-Clad Buildings" by Sandy Bauers. Keith Russel explores how birds die by Philadelphia transparent glass. Also they explain that glass that reflects the sky can be deadly to birds. In the article it points out that "at quitting time at 8, they might have picked up a dozen birds or more." This means that during the 24 hour day birds are being killed all the time by striking buildings. This stood out in the article because it tells me how many birds are die everyday by glass. Also a biology professor, Daniels Klem Jr., says that a billion birds die every year in a result of striking glass on buildings of Philadelphia. In my opinion I think this is bad and Philadelphia should create buildings out of wood more than glass because glass can easily break and would can't. In return glass can't burn, wood can. I still think they should build buildings out of wood so we can have more birds populated in Philadelphia. This reminds me of a empower assignment of bees dying because of a Apocephalus Borealis fly that spreads a virus and billions of bees die every year just like the birds.

Opal Ruth Prater "Love is Stronger Than Death"

In the article "Love is Stronger Than Death" on the website This I Believe.org by Opal Ruth Prater explains how she gets through her husbands death with a shirt. She also explains how she still loves and misses him dearly. For example, Opal brings up that her husband left a shirt that he wore on a chair in the backyard from doing a lot of yard work and taking care of the kids. This shirt had sunshine outdoorsy scent. After smelling the shirt she started to cry because she missed him too much. She has watched her kid grow up in grown adults and have kids of their own and Opal looks into the sky and congratulates her husband on how wonderful they raised the kids as she continues to hold the shirt in her hands. In my opinion I believe this is true. I believe this is true because the person you care about could die or something bad could happen to them and you could really care for that person. Also somewhere in the world every child or adult loses the person they care about and only has a object or picture or something to remember them by. This reminds me of my uncle Mike. This reminds me of my uncle Mike because he died in 2008 and until this day all I have to remember him by is a picture of him and my grandmother. Also the only quote I remember him saying is as long as I put my mind to something i really care about I can accomplish anything. So this belief is true in the world to me.

Broadcasting....Whiteness

There's a article in the New York Times called "Broading a World of Whiteness" by Jon Caramanica. The article is about shows on television having mostly white people on those shows and not enough blacks, hispanics, and asians on them. Mostly all of the shows have white people and not enough of the others colors and the only specific channels that show a lot of black are BET or Centric. A certain detail that stood out in the article was "Television is nowhere near diverse enough." This detail stood out because it's a fact and that black people, asian people, and hispanic people need to be on more white shows just like white people need to be on black shows. Either way the bottom line is that directors need to include different colored people other than white. Honestly to me there not as many blacks on the network television like ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX because maybe white people can act better and they don't give as much emotion as black people do.

Gun Fashion

In a article called "New Fashion Wrinkle: Stylishly Hiding the Gun" by New York Times reporter, Matt Richtel talks about the new fashion that allows people to carry guns in their clothes without no one knowing of finding out. Also a older company, Woolrich started this fashion now other clothing companies are starting to semi-copy this fashion in new ways. A chino, which cost $65,are a fashion material that holds guns. Th new gun fashion is good because a lot of people like them and people comment on how the clothes changed their fashion and appearance. For example, Shawn Thompson said that "I'm not James Bond or nothing, but these pretty nice." This quote shows that Thompson likes the new gun fashion. To begin with i though this article was going to be about a new clothing line that just came out for teenagers and hiding guns in your clothes like a regular would do for protection and really lame and corny. To my surprise it was corny or lame it was actually about fashion that u can were to hide your guns or any other weapon as long as you have a liscense. I think that a lot people would reduce the limit of number crimes all over the world i think it's a good idea to protect your self with this new fashion. I think it will the crime rates because that person with the gun fashion will actually have a chance to protect their sleves from danger or any crime around them.
