Fidel Castro's recent demise would have been good for trade relations, but Trump is endangering our relationship with their government. This would affect the world because Cuba would not be able to trade with America and Cuban products will become even more scarce than before.]]> 2016-11-28 19:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140304091 gwilliams223_1 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140304362 When the plates shifted they caused the threat of a tsunami.

The dead sea has a huge impact on its whole region. Israel relies on the dead sea for many things so if the dead sea is shrinking many resources will vanish. ]]> 2016-11-28 19:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140304869 jmarks22 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140305688 Trump is threatening, and many people believe that Donald Trump will take away the LGBQ+ marriage rights of people in the U.S. This affects our country because people who aren't straight, won't be able to be with the person that they love. This affects people outside of the U.S. because, LGBQ+ people, and people who support marriage rights for everyone, won't want to move to the United States. Also, It could change some people's opinions on the LGBQ+ community outside our country, if they see that the president of this huge and important is anti LGBQ+.     https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/these-are-the-lgbt-rights-trump-could-start-reversing-on-day?utm_term=.xcYz344YM#.qlNk7XXVJ]]> 2016-11-28 19:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140305688 ljanos221_1 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140306217 Chemotherapy has been shown to be extremely unhealthy for patients because it kills cancer cells in the patients body as well as killing all of the beneficial cells. If doctors look specifically at patient's unique features and characteristics of cancer, they can target exactly what needs to be treated. ]]> 2016-11-28 19:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140306217 lhuber_verjan221_1 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140306283 Haggis is a Scottish dish, which is a pudding made from sheep's heart, liver and lungs, mixed with oatmeal and spices and enclosed in sheep's intestines . It was banned from the USA for almost 50 years, but now it might be allowed in America. Haggis is very popular in the UK. Between 2010 and 2015, $5.92 million worth of Haggis was exported by the UK. Macsween says that even though it does not sound like an appealing dish, he is going to find out how to convince everyone that it's not all about guts. Later, he says that there are NO guts and that it is truly a healthy, fulfilling, and satisfying meat dish. He tries to make it seem less "gross" by saying it's very similar to sausage. He said it also had a casing like with the sausage casings (made with a piece of intestine.)

About 67% of the corals were killed due to global warming. The waters warmed a whole 1C over average temperatures, causing the coral to release their energy giving algae that they would starve without. The area that suffered most, Lizard Island, lost 90% of its coral. Researchers doubt the coral will ever be restored.]]> 2016-11-28 19:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140307227 cfidler221_1 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140307242 "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." Trump continues to claim he won the popular vote. Even though Hillary Clinton won by around 2 million votes, Trump says that all of her votes were mostly illegal and should be deducted.

President Barack Obama has worked to improve relations with the communist government in Havana, culminating in his historic visit in March 2016. But Mr. Donald J. Trump (on twitter) said that he will terminate these relations, cutting us off for Cuba once more. In his tweet, Donald Trump said that if "Cuba is unwilling to make a better deal for the Cuban people, the Cuban/American people and the US as a whole, I will terminate deal". Also Mr. Donald Trump's team has accused President Obama of trusting/giving to the Cubans without much in return , other than establishing a secure connection with a neighboring country and one step closer to being closer with Russia, and if we can secure a connection with them (Russia) we could have a very powerful ally.]]> 2016-11-28 19:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140307298 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140308544 On November 27th Trump posted on his twitter account "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally".  By the latest count right now Hillary Clinton has 2 million more votes than Trump. Trump claims that 3 million "illegal aliens" had voted in the election.  4 hours later from his first post, Trump posted "Serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California - so why isn't the media reporting on this? Serious bias - big problem!" While he claims the illegal votes, he also tweeted to destroy Cuba, if Cuba does not make the best deals. ]]> 2016-11-28 19:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140308544 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevent7_3/wish/140310224 Hemp has been newly discovered as a new crop that can benefit the environment and the economy. Currently hemp isn't fully legal in all of the US due to it's similarity to Marijuana. But it lacks the active ingredient that makes marijuana a recreational drug, the psychoactive component . Hemp is revolutionary and is even being used to make air-planes, clothes, and serves as an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. Cars are also a big problem in the environment but by replacing traditional materials like plastic and metal with hemp-based alternatives, cars can be built much lighter, adding to efficiency. Oh, and after they’ve outlived their usefulness, they are biodegradable.

It was closed for suffocating and mass killing of these sea creatures. The animals embedded in the floor include fish, crabs and other shellfish. This affects the world because Space World took thousands of lives from economic markets.
