The risks of wild fires happening again is a high chance because human activities continue to warm the planet. ]]> 2021-09-24 20:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766570109 Pandemic effecting the economy https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766571575 The economy has been greatly effected by the pandemic and so has come with the consequences of people losing their jobs.
As a source of this multiple people have lost their jobs and have had to deal with it, which Biden has tried to fix but Congress denied.

It reminds me of a while ago when there were a lot of fires in Australia and people would go and try to find tons of animals to save. 
 
A new idea is I didn’t really think about how the animals wouldn’t have any food to eat even if they didn’t die from the fires.

I wonder why they didn’t just relocate them to another place where there was more food, because they will run out soon and if he cat eat it all t will get moldy. 

Summary: There was a huge food drop in New South Wales to feed the wallabies. They did this becasue after the fires the wallabies that didn’t die didn’t have anything to eat.

The results were that Biden won but it apparently wasn’t to actually change the results.

A new idea that I have is with this telescope we will be able to see some older galaxies and some better origins to the universe. I wonder how long it will take for the telescope to reach its final destination. My article was a bout a new telescope called James Webb Space Telescope, that is supposed to be 1000 times stronger than the Hubble Telescope.

Connect: I learned that the ocean is very dangerous and kill a lot of people per year, and this relates to my article as it has no people inside and no human lives will be in danger when dangerous events happen. 

Extend: I never new that there were boats that could be driven by Ai as the waves are very unpredictable and other dangerous events, so that fact that the boat could survive for a little at sea, is quite impressive to me.
Challenge: I wonder how much the AI boat costs because it seems to be very expensive cause of the AI and parts for the ship.

Summarize: IBM invented an autonomous boat and tried to get it from Plymouth, England, to Plymouth, Mass, but it didn’t work out. But they are trying again.

A new idea is that America can stop rejecting immigrants and do the opposite. I wonder if this article was made when trunk was present, hopefully it it better now. 

The Haitians need to migrate but America is not letting them in and that had caused many bad things: like Ganges.

The foot prints formed because they were walking on a damp lake, and later sediments filled the foot prints, next the ground hardened. They are still trying to find out what they where doing. It’s hard to tell to the “naked eye” but when there is a right amount of dampness then you can see it. There could be many more footprints, we just haven’t found them yet.

]]> 2021-09-24 21:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766582283 THE VOX. This reminds me of how climate change forces people to leave their homes and live on the streets. Like fires burning down homes and homes getting flooded and earthquakes too. Looking at the picture and reading about this makes me sad. People are just trying to live there life but climate change, racism and unjust laws are making it so challenging for people to find a new home. I think that if we find a way to fix climate change it will solve this and many other problems. People are still looking for a safe place to live since the 2010 earthquake that had affected about 3 million people. Gangs in power make people scared for themselves and there families. Overall, people need to start working together to help solve these problems. People like Haitians are facing these problems and we need to help people like them so they can find a safe home. At first people can start changing laws and making them better maybe people can also find ways to help solve climate. temmap1 https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766582781 -Temma

I think that the key out of the pandemic is to get the vaccines! This idea is not new and for those who refuse and get sick it is not good. 

The challenge is that not everybody is eligible for a vaccine and there is only one vaccine that is approved in the USA. For those under 12 years old there is currently no vaccine approved which means that a good portion of the US isn’t eligible. 
 
To summarize, we need people to get vaccines to end the pandemic. It’s the way out of this 1.5 year horror story

It reminds me of when people were debating if pets can get covid.

Even though this was from a while ago a new idea is that if animals can give us covid we might not be able to have pets or we might not be able to go out at all.

I wonder what would happen if pets could give us covid?

Summary: A couple cats have been tested positive for covid but are saying that as of now there isn’t evidence that we can get covid from pets.]]> 2021-09-24 21:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766587206 Covid booster shots sadief https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766589345 This is connected to my grandma because she is probably going to get the covid booster shot soon. I think it is so cool that people can not only get a vaccine but they can get a booster vaccine. I wonder why only some people can get a booster instead of everyone getting the vaccine. Only people who got the prize vaccine are allowed to get the booster. But they are coming out with more boosters for other vaccines.]]> 2021-09-24 21:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766589345 Tech at WorkKeystroke tracking, screenshots, and facial recognition: The boss may be watching long after the pandemic ends vanf https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766594229 This article i connected to how some company’s like to keep a very close eye on their employees. 

This gives me the new  idea that people could be spy on you through your device and you’ll never know if someone did

Some thing confusing is why a computer needs to always see your face

Summary:
So this woman Kerrie Krutchik got a new job a computer was sent to her in the mail. This computer needed to always see her face or else it would make her give it 3 angles of her face to get back in she quit after realizing it might have been so the computers owners could spy on her so she quit.]]> 2021-09-24 21:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766594229 Booster shots abeb1 https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766598522 The CDC is making a plan to give out booster shots. There is a debate going on in the U.S. about booster shots. “The committee voted unanimously to endorse boosters for anyone aged 65 and older, beginning six months after they were fully vaccinated.”



This is what it looks like when somebody gets the booster.

 In the article it said “In one photo, an agent grabbed the T-shirt of a migrant, while another shouted in a video, “Get out now! Back to Mexico!” I wonder why people are still like this, It’s so confusing because one second people are treating each other with some sort of respect and the next they’re yelling these type of things.]]> 2021-09-24 21:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766615761 Saving Shelter Dogs in Miami violeth5 https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766624963 I have read an article about how 15 dogs were cramed in a cage and crushed to death

About 3 million dogs dont make it out of the shelter 

 I wonder why people who aren’t busy dont adopt dogs

 Marcos Garcia offered himself to the Miami adoption center to help dogs get adopted. Many dogs are getting adopted but some dogs have to spend the rest of theri life in the shelter. ]]> 2021-09-24 21:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766624963 Why Biden is throwing out Haitian Migrants keiyaniid https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766629955 “Border Patrol agents on horseback hounding Haitian migrants near the US-Mexico border, more than 14,000 of whom were camped under the Del Rio bridge on September 19. The uniformed men swung their long horse reins — which many interpreted as whips — to keep the migrants from crossing into Texas. In one photo, an agent grabbed the T-shirt of a migrant, while another shouted in a video, “Get out now! Back to Mexico!” 

Condemnation of the agents’ behavior was swift, with advocates drawing parallels to slave patrols, or the white men on horses who whipped enslaved people in cotton fields. But inhumane treatment of Black migrants, particularly Haitian migrants, is not new; it’s closely linked to the history of immigrant detention in the United States.”


I wonder why Biden is doing this. Why does the patrol have to be so aggressive with the migrants when they didn’t do anything but try to eat/ survive with the very little resources they have. Even before  Biden became president this is not the first time black/Haitian has been dragged away out of the United States or dragged from their homes to the US.

]]> 2021-09-24 21:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1766629955 Booster Shots https://padlet.com/rob_wasielewski/924news/wish/1767599770         Recently the CDC and the FDA released the new booster shot. But before they released the new shot something interesting happened, the directer of the CDC Rochelle Walensky went against her own advisors and sided with the FDA which is very rare.

        If Walensky hadn't sided with the FDA then those who would've needed the booster shot wouldn't have it right now and they would be more at risk to the virus.

        The reason why the 9/15 of the CDC's  own advisors chose to not send out the booster yet was because there wasn't enough evidence to support giving boosters to healthy people no matter what jobs they have. So they basically thought "Well the vaccines are helping a lot with COVID right now, and since there isn't enough evidence to support putting out the booster shots lets just hold off until we do have enough evidence.  

The effect of director Walensky's choice was that it give's those who don't believe in vaccines and COVID to not take the vaccines and the extra booster shots.
