Garbage collector creates library from rescued books - Kendall Edwards

skytheemolga03 — 2015-10-01 20:27:41 UTC

Jose Gutierrez found books while working, which he kept in his house. He decided to make a make shift library in his house, holding more than 20,000 books. Jose says his inspiration is when his mom read bedtime stories to him, and his love of books. Jose wants to give kids the gift of reading, as he states how books are luxury for boys and girls. He constantly donates books he does not have room for to libraries, and is helping poor children in his area enjoy what we all take for granted, books

Garbage Collector Creates library from rescued books - Kaylee Everett

plentyhoopsch — 2015-10-01 20:28:27 UTC

Jose Gutierrez is a trash man, He started looking through the trash truck about 20 years ago. He thought that this would be a really good idea since the kids in Columbia were very poor. Jose's house is covered from floor to ceiling with over 20,000 books. He wants to give kids the gift of reading by letting them come into his "library" and get books. A connection that I can make is that one my friends they have a little box in front of their house that says library. Also it says take one get one.

What's up with Saturns rings by Aidan Guerra

2015-10-01 20:30:01 UTC

Saturn's rings are invisible to the naked eye. But that didn't stop Galileo from discovering them in 1610. The 7 rings span about 175,000 wide and only about 30 feet high. The aren't continuous though, they are made of billions of particles from dust sized frozen grain to chunks of frozen water and rocks. The rings don't have an exact date of appearance though. They could have been there when Saturn was formed or back when the dinosaurs were alive. A connection that I can make is, in a game I used to play, you had to navigate through Saturns rings and you could see everything in them

Guinness RELEASES 2015 Records-Abby Geiser

2015-10-01 20:30:09 UTC

Tens of thousands of people request to be in the Guinness Book of World Records. Eighty percent of these people, however, are rejected. The first 197-page edition of the Guinness Book of World Records came out in May 1955, and since then, almost 100 million copies have been sold all over the world. In 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver and his friends got into an argument over which of two birds were faster,and shortly after they realized that no such books occurred to give them this info, they created one.

Last year in Mrs. Curoe's Social Studies class, we watched a CNN Student News where they talked about who placed the 2014 World Records book, and the talents were similar to these.

Guinness Release 2015 Records- by Kelsie Poole

2015-10-01 20:30:50 UTC

This article is about people who would do anything to get in the book of Guiness World Records. Safely the shortest man who was 21 1/2 inches. A man named Jesion Herandez has the biggest shoes, size 26, and A turtle went 0.6 miles per hour.

One connection I have about reading this article is when I was little I remember buying all of these books and just looking at the pictures for days.

Kira Shuff Big Clock Fixed with a Few Pennies

2015-10-01 20:31:09 UTC

The famous clock, the Big Ben has been slow by 6 seconds. This was noticed by BBC radio. They have corrected the clock to within 2 seconds of the correct time. They will continue adjusting the pennies by placing them on the pendulum, or removing them.

Ty West: Who Was Boss Before The Dinosaurs

2015-10-01 20:31:17 UTC

This article talks about who was the ruler of the land before the dinosaurs. Way back when when the dinosaurs were starting out there was other creatures that looked like huge crocodiles which have been named Smilosuchus. Also there was forerunners roaming the land but they weren't the main predators the Smilosuchus were. These reptiles were taken out by something big that happened about 200 million years ago. Most of the forerunners were killed and all of the Smilosuchus were killed. It was such a big change that half of earth's life die

What's up with Saturn's rings? - Rose Angelo

2015-10-01 20:31:20 UTC

Saturn's rings cannot be seen by the naked eye. The planet's rings are about 175,000 miles long and almost the entire way from Earth to the Moon. They're made up of little frozen particles as small as dust and big ice bergs orbiting around the planet. The rings are still forming - it is a continuous process. Advanced technology is always discovering new things about Saturn's rings.

This story reminds me of when I was in 4th grade. My teacher made us pick a planet to study and research and write a report on. I picked Saturn. My main focus in my essay was Saturn's rings.

Andrew R: The Iran Nuclear deal

2015-10-01 20:31:24 UTC

So a couple days back, the government signed the Iran nuclear deal, voting yes. Since 2002 Iran has been using weapon grade Plutonium to construct, you guessed it, weapons. However, this deal allows Iran to continue mining uranium and plutonium, but not enough to create a bomb for 15 years, while the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor what they do with it for 25.

This reminds me of a game called Fallout Shelter, where you need to create a bomb shelter, or "Vault", and manage everyone who lives there after a nuclear winter. While this won't happen in real life today, let's hope the same for 30 years later!

Hayden Sherman: Who Was Boss Before Dino

2015-10-01 20:32:03 UTC

This article was very interesting it talks about who ruled the earth before dinosaurs. What lived before the dinosaurs was basically reptiles similar to dinosaures but what is interesting is that scientists think something wiped them out even before the dinosaurs existed.

Pluto pictures are pouring in Maggie Webster

2015-10-01 20:32:36 UTC

This article is about how scientists have discovered that Pluto has more diverse land than they ever imagined. Some scientists think that Pluto has had a thicker Atmosphere in the past than it does now. Scientists also have discovered what could be mountains on Pluto's surface however, it is possible that they are just huge blocks of ice.

Abby Reisbeck: Who was boss before the dinosaurs

2015-10-01 20:33:42 UTC

This artical was about species, before dinosaurs. A crocodile-like mammal was discovered through fossils. Scientists think it lived 230 million years ago, in the Triassic period.

Whats up with Saturn's rings? Clara brown

2015-10-01 20:34:30 UTC

Although Saturn can be seen with the naked eye, its rings however can not be. Its rings are about 175,000 miles wide. Thats roughly 3/4 of the distance between the earth and the moon. Although the rings were discovered in 1610 today we are exploring the 7.4 million wide behemoth that was found in 2009. This is realated to the blood moon because they are both about space and new discoveries.

Cole Dickinson. Guinness world records

engelbylj — 2015-10-01 20:34:53 UTC

The Guinness world record book every year people challenge theirselves to get into the book. In Venezuela a man made a pair of boots the size of 26 which means that a giant is in town. Then their is Bertie the fastest tortoise who is nicknamed the Usain Bolt of turtles and can reach speeds of 0.6 miles per mile move over hare. Sadly last month the smallest man in the world passed away at the age of 75 so at least he went out a record breaker. So people will do anything to show up in the record books and be memoralized in a weird and wacky way.

Nepal: Finally, A New Constitution by Sophia Werner

2015-10-01 20:35:31 UTC

Nepal has been trasitioning from a kingdom to a democracy since 2006. It started in the summer of 2001, when 10 royal members were assassinated and the King's younger brother tried to take over the government. He was ousted in 2006 by the rebels. After the devastating earthquake, Nepal decided that they really needed a new government after over 9,000 lives were lost in the quake. The new constitution is certainly a step in the right direction.

Ethan Gorka: The Iran Deal Explained

2015-10-01 20:38:35 UTC

The Iran deal is about Iran almost stopping their uranium production and their other nuclear weapon related production. The U.S, and several other countries think that it's too dangerous for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. The deal states that that Iran must stop the uranium production by 98%, causing it's economy to fail. The prices of gas and food begin to rise.

2015-10-02 00:56:39 UTC

Crazy people come up with crazy things just to get their name and picture in a Guiness world record book. For instance, someone submitted world's fastest tortoise going at the speed of .28 meters per second! Another person has a foot size of 26! Want to know how world records started and came to be? In May 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, the owner of a beer brewery in England got into an argument with fellow members of his hunting party over the question - "Which is the fastest game bird in Europe, the golden plover or the grouse?" Realizing that there were no reference books that carried such information and how useful they might be to resolve debates such as his, he came up with the idea of a book of world records.

Emmie Byrd: Iran Deal Explained

2015-10-02 01:05:06 UTC

In the artical it talks about how the U.S. and other European countries made a "deal" with Iran telling the country to stop mining uranium and making bombs. Iran agreed, but currently Iran's leaders are seeing this as a "horrible mistake". However they keep the deal due to extremists in their country(ISIS).

Animals such as huge crocodiles called smilosuchus they were at the top of the food chain back then.What happened was so important I caused half of all life on earth to go extinct.Scientists found fossils about these animals.

My connection is that dwarf crocodiles are going extinct.Theyare going extinct from being hunted.

What's Up With Saturn's Rings?-Lexi Scott

2015-10-02 02:36:18 UTC

You cannot see Saturn's rings with the naked eye because they are invisible without a telescope. In 1610, Galileo was the first to spot the 7 rings. These rings are made out of particles of dust-sized frozen grains, ice, and rocky particles wrapped in ice. Scientists that are researching Saturn are making new discoveries all the time, but they are not sure when or how the rings were formed. This relates to the blood moon/ super moon that we saw not too long ago because scientists are making new observations and figuring new things out about the blood moon and Saturn's rings.
