My Friend Cayla is supposed to hook up to your phone so when you talk to the doll, the voices go through to your phone and are sent to the dolls' manufacturers.  There are 2 companies. One is called Genesis and the other is called Nuance. Nuance also has a database used by law enforcement and military and intelligence agencies that matches voiceprints. Basically, all the children and parents' conversations are recorded by the doll and sent to law, military, and intelligence agencies. An example is a girl asking the doll, "Can I tell you a secret?" The doll says, "Sure go ahead; be very quiet though. I promise not to tell anyone; it's just between you and me because we are friends." Of course, the secret is sent to those agencies. Parents were notified to destroy the dolls. ]]> 2017-02-27 22:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156583911 hstein22 https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156583923 Bomb threat at Jewish Center in Ann Arbor. 200 kids, infant-5th grade. 11 Jewish community centers across the country received bomb threats. This happened in the USA, throughout North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Michigan, Alabama, Maryland, Indiana, Virginia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Luckily it was just a threat and no injuries were reported. This an extreme form of anti-semitism. Anti semitism is basically anti Jew. Trump talked about anti-Semitism after after this event, and vandals defaced more than 100 headstones at a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis. Trump tells MSNBC “I will tell you that anti-Semitism is horrible and it’s going to stop. It has to stop." ]]> 2017-02-27 22:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156583923 eghaemmaghami22 https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156583974 Dubai is a very futuristic place. They are preparing to launch a new version of transportation, drone taxis. Like a regular taxis, the drone has designated zones using a app, then they just simply get on the drone (holds 220 pounds and a light bag) and pick a place to take them to, so they can quickly get to their wanted location and skip all the traffic.  ]]> 2017-02-27 22:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156583974 https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156583992 Amid all of the drama at the Oscar's last night regarding the Best Picture Award mix-up with La La Land and Moonlight, most viewers didn't realize the embarrassing mistake that occurred in the Memoriam segment which never seems to actually be fully correct. Usually the editors accidentally forget a person or two, but this time they mistaked two people for the same person, when they put the costume designer's name "Janet Patterson" who in fact passed away in October 2016, but instead of putting her picture, they put a photo of a "very much alive" producer Jan Chapman. Janet's friend were very upset with the editors of the video, especially since she urged Janet's agency to double-check the photo they sent, and they emphasized that the Academy had it covered, but they clearly didn't! ]]> 2017-02-27 22:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156583992 https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156584006 N.A.S.A found 7 new exoplanets that we may be able to live on because there are lots of signs of water. ,A new Space Telescope, the James Webb  launching in 2018 is going to find out more information]]> 2017-02-27 22:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156584006 jmoore222_2 https://padlet.com/motero1/Finalpadlet7_2/wish/156584063 Bomb threats were called into Jewish community centers and schools in at least 13 states, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Michigan, Alabama, Maryland, Indiana, Virginia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
