Also, Kelly says that we already have a model border, across the northern border. The best way to secure the border is not block them off, but to engage with them. ]]> 2017-01-13 16:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147081334 https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147081626

Cassini was sent to saturn to study the small dust specks. Cassini was able to detect that silicate was in the dust. Silicate is the mineral that beach sand is made from. Scientists thought that the silicate may have contaminated Cassini before it was sent to Saturn. Years later, scientists no longer believe Cassini's discovery as a malfunction. Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, is a warm place and may be showing signs of life. In march 2004, Cassini flew into a cloud of the dust that detected silicate every few minutes. The cloud grew thicker as it flew closer to the moon. On Enceladus, some parts of the planet were covered in large craters, but in other parts, the land appeared to be smoothed by some being.  https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/trail-cosmic-dust-may-lead-alien-life]]> 2017-01-13 16:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147081899 https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147082935 Alan Langdon and his daughter Que of New Zealand were missing for a month before discovered in Australia. The rudder on their ship had broken and Langdon had sailed to Australia, knowing that the seas would be smoother there than taking the stormy route back to New Zealand.

The mayor tweeted "NYC spends $4 billion a year on medical care for overweight people" (Bloomberg)  The board of health has to approve though. If they approve restaurants will have nine months until they face fines of $200. "We¹re not taking away anybody's right to do something; we're simply making it different for them in how they do it."  said the mayor. Th coca-cola company said "people of New York City are much smarter than the New York City Health Department believes. ... New Yorkers expect and deserve better than this. They can make their own choices about the beverages they purchase. We hope New Yorkers loudly voice their disapproval about this arbitrary mandate." I think that this is true but I also think that they are saying this because they want more people to buy their drink.]]> 2017-01-13 16:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147084299 https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147085864 2017-01-13 16:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147085864 https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147086300 In Birmingham, Ala there was a monument placed in the church were four black girls were killed in a bombing.

There are camps in China who have treated more than 6,000 internet addicts but this camp made headlines after a teenage patient starved her mother for revenge for all of her abuse. The law would ban physical punishment, and electroshock therapy. It would also limit how much time minors can spend playing online games on the computer, but people are wondering if this law will help anything at all. Researchers have found that Asia has the most problematic internet addicts in the world. Some people are wondering if the law will be enforced evenly across the country. ]]> 2017-01-13 16:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147086377 https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147086565 A photo from inside McCoy Station, a mid-mountain chalet, shows conditions at Mammoth on Jan. 11, 2017. (Thats two days ago)]]> 2017-01-13 16:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147086565 https://padlet.com/motero1/t1zmssm346fo/wish/147089464 In Japan woman aren't encouraged to take on leadership roles.

They were developing a new type energy that uses seawater to make liquid fuel (sea fuel.) Google X is trying to extract carbon dioxide from seawater and in 2014 they worked on a prototype of the system and it was a success! Though, at the end it wasn’t worth doing due to the high price of hydrogen
