    This is about the way people think of people from far away. In our days, we have some people that have a fear that others not like them can create not a good living for them because others are different and live in a different way. This feeling of fear gets bigger when you know even less about other people of the world and your ways of knowing about others are very few. In the land of wine and love, a woman is calling to this fear to her own people so that she can be the leader of that country. The same happened here in our country and the man in power today still brings that feeling, which is bad for simple people that are good to each other.

    This piece of writing is about a man who was taken by police and not allowed to leave for the killing of a young person back in 2005, a cold-case that the police had not been able to figure out. They have now found the possible killer, and are set to bring him into a room with a higher figure, who listens to what the police and the person speaking for the possible killer has to say. The possible killer was already being held in a room with bars after being brought in 6 months ago for being the possible killer of a 17 year old student back in 2004. The police group’s leader of people who try to find people who have done bad things has said that there is a big chance that this possible killer of two may actually be a person who has killed many others.

    In the year 2014 the problem of making not real things was seen in the US. Computer parts, with a lot parts that go into it, that was made for cars was made by people that was breaking the law. The person making the not real things to be placed in the cars also changed certain parts that showed someone far away the car’s information. This is a troubling thing if not real things were to suddenly stop working causing a car pile-up. Another problem of these not real things creates an opening for certain people breaking the law through computers to be allowed in a person’s computer.

    How people feel about doing right or wrong may show how they will care about their work and people they work with. When person is able to feel bad about what is done, even if no one knows about it, it shows that that person have strong feeling of care for others. Businesses lose a lot of money when their workers steal or do not come to work at all. Before the new worker gets a job it is important for the person who talks to that possible worker to pay attention to the sense of right and wrong that person is showing. People who show no feelings about doing something bad or wrong usually turn out to be trouble makers at work.

    This Explains the reason why people that check if we are going to have a storm, are trying to find ways to check how bad the storm is that can cause turning circles of high winds. . The computers they have now can tell you up to 13 minutes before a circle of high winds appears. Jamey Jacob is trying to find a way to let us know when it’s going to appear up to one hour before by using small flying computers. This flying computers will fly where the storm is happening getting information and sending it to a close by stations where they can see it the storm would most probably turn into a circle of death.

    this paper is about the power of our hold is very important because the power in our body start in our hands. In this paper, Pineau who knows about control power says that, “it stage most body power groups you use and most effort you do”. in the paper she also mentions that there are three simple hold which are over hand, neutral, and under hand which is in form, and life, this one is the one that we use it more. It is not hard to boots our power hold. One of the lead that we can find in the paper to do it is to hold power training grabbing a weight plate between our finger and fingers and walking around.

    It has gotten much harder to be living in the shadows, and hiding from the forces with rights to send you back to a country where you might have been born, but have no future. Churches, colleges and local groups have discovered new ways in helping those in need, and have learned from the past how to win cases. The ones needing help have also learned, and have teamed up with local people willing to help. It is sad that in today’s world people have to fear to go outside or to work, just because the powers do not want you here.

    With bad news spinning in the news every day about the Trump campaign supposed plan to collude Russia, the conversation has quickly turned to talks about impeachment.

    In this piece, written by Charles Savage of the New York Times, he begins with a short run-through of the story so far. Of most interest is the firing of F.B.I Director Comey last week. This move by Trump kicked off a new shit storm around the case. The writer also goes on to question what it actually means to remove the President from power and the steps needed to realize this dream. As stated in this piece, there are no set laws for impeachment, however the House must first hear and decide to move forward and then the issue is sent to the Senate for a vote.

    People who write may be a part of a layer who gather information. They bring strong and not so strong points to their job. Some are out-going persons and some are not. Both of these special groups share a love for writing and a need to pass on what they know so that others may understand. While those who are not out-going like to work behind closed doors the out-going ones like to walk the halls of the office and sometimes give their time to serving others. One group likes to see everything in writing, while paying attention to small points, the out-going writers like face to face meetings and/or phone calls.
