A garbage man from Bogota was traveling the streets and saw some thrown out books. He lives in a poor part of town and the book store there is too expensive for most of the school children, so he made a library out of used books so the kids could read the books without having to pay. He has about 20,000 books ranging from text books to picture book. He recommends that every neighborhood should have a library like this.

Connection: There are many countries that are in poverty right now and don't have enough money to buy books for their family to read and study with. In Iraq and other countries right now, they are in poverty because of war.

This article was about how President Obama went to Kenya and Ethiopia to stregnthen and deepen our relationship between the two countries. By doing that he is helping them with human rights, trade, politics, and the economy. President Obama has talked to the Ethiopian Prime Minister about helping them with their security and has talked about Etheopia having a bright future ahead of them.

In this article Predident Obama Visied Ethiopia and Kenya in Africa to talk about possible ways to strengthen their peace and push for prosperity. Ethiopian Prime Minister and President Obama talked about economic development, human rights, and regional security. Also, the visit to Africa benifited both Africa and the U.S. because it strengthened our relationship. That helps us so in times of violence and negative events they will probably be more willing to help. This connects to how the UN secretary is planning a meeting with 40 leaders around the world to discuss issues which is movement just like The President went to Africa.

A garbage collector in a poor area of Bogota saved up many books over the years from trash to make a small library. The library was in his basement, but stored over 20000 books. Many young children would come to his library to get books because books were too expensive to buy. He recomends every neighborhood should have a library, and he has even sent out his books to other places for them to read.

Connection:

There are many places around the world who don't have much money right now and need more things. For example, all the countries at war need more thing for their people. The collector gave the people something that gave them hope and helped.

Pictures of Pluto came to scientists and it looked nothing like how they thought it would be. There are dark ridges and other features that scientists have no idea how they got there. Scientists say that these ridges may be dunes, but the only way dunes could have gotten there would be if Pluto had had a thicker atmosphere in the past. One of the scientists says that if someone had painted Pluto like this before, they would have said it was over the top. Many of these new discoveries have scientists boggled.

Connection: This article reminded me of the CNN story last year when they successfully landed that craft on a comet.

This article is about

The banks had nod been able to work and that was raising food and gas prices which also affected the people. Doing this they are getting support the war against ISIS.

In 2002 Iran was building nuclear weapons and the world found out what they were doing. Many countries feared that Iran was making a nuclear bomb so the U.S. and other countries have been in negotiations with Iran for 2 years. Iran has finally agreed to this deal. Iran has agreed to shut down some of its nuclear plants, not build plutonium reactors for at leas 15 years, and reduce its stockpile by 98%.

Connection: This kind of reminds me of the peace treaty USA made with Cuba.

This article is about how Saturn's Rings are made . They are made by billions of dust sized particles and how you can only see the rings with a telescope. This was found out in 1610. With the new high tec telescopes they are making more discoveries about Saturn all the time.

The 2nd republican debate went well. The questions asked were on the topics of immigrants, economy, and national security. I in fact watched the debate with my dad and we had a disagreements about Donald Trump running for president. This connects with Russia and them making us move our troops out of The Middle East and then bombing places that they thought were Isis but weren't because the new president needs to know what they are going to do about the if they become president.

This article is about saturns rings and what they are made of. The rings were first discovered in 1610. Saturn's rings are mostly made of ice, rock, and dust particles. These rings can only be seen by a telescope.

I connected this story to the blood moon on 9/26/15. I thought of these both in the same category because they are about what is going on in or solar system.

In this article Brock Obama visits Kenya to talk about Global Entrepreneurship. This was the first time that a USA president visited Africa. He talked about the struggles econamly with Kenya.

Although he only had a second grade education, he always appreciated reading even when he became an adult and decided to share it with children who were like him. He rescued books that had been thrown out and created a library. He knew how valuable that was to children who couldn't afford them.

Connection: I can connect this to the people who are still helping the hurricane Katrina victims, even after 10 years! Theses people don't have to help the victims for so long and with unwavering hope but decide to anyway. This is like the article above because this man is choosing to help other people even though he doesn't have to and has been doing it for so long with hope.

This article tells us about Saturn's mysterious rings. These rings were first discovered in 1610 by Galileo. Saturn's rings are very thin, yet they span to about 175,000 miles wide. How they formed remains a mystery, but scientists are discovering more rings that orbit around the planet of Saturn. I can relate this to the lunar eclipse from a few days ago. Not many people know how this rare moon happens. This is the same deal with Saturn's rings.

This article informs you about Pluto pictures that NASA is getting. The pictures are very detailed. They can see ancient craters.they also can see how thick the atmosphere is around Pluto. This connects with the super moon that happened this week.

Iran agreed to reduce their uranium production by 98% they surprisingly agreed to this because they said that it was affecting the economy. This also raised food and gas prices which affected the people grandly. Doing this they are getting support for the war against ISIS and with that this is why people are migration into other countries for safety. 👣👣👣 ;)

I can relate this to South Korea because they are also bankrupt and they are taking loans from other countries. They need more money just to get people in houses.

Jose Gutierrez, a garbage man, has collected all sorts of books for 20 years. He believes that books should never be thrown away and that they should be kept. So, over all the books he has collected he made a library at his house. He says books are the greatest invention and should never be left out.

I connect this to the migrants fleeing from north america to th us because of gang violence and povrity

The Guinness Book of World Records has released new 2016 records! Sadly, the world's smallest man recently passed away, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any new records. Recently, a man held a world record for the biggest foot... a size 26!! Also the are animals holding world records. A turtle that is. The turtle, Bertie, holds the record for the fastest tortise. Another record is the most BMX time machines done in a minute. That is one of the hardest tricks to do on a BMX bike.

This article is about new wacky world records and how they came to be. People will do anything to get the fame of a world record. It also talks about how to get in on the action of holding a world record. It takes a whole month just to except or decline an offer. I can make a connection to the bell being fixed with only a few pennies because both are quite amazing to me. The reason why there is a connection is because they both can make an advancement into our future.

this is about how many people in foreign places are being very badly treated so they are forced to move to diferent countries. resently there have been a lot (over millions) escaping from one place to another.
