Bill Clinton wants to apology after arguments with protesters

Posted on April 10, 2016 by steven_bardsley

With the New York primaries drawing nearer, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are in a tight race for delegates as the Democratic National Convention draws close. Both Sanders and Clinton have been campaigning both through live television interviews, along with going through New York.

On Thursday, Bill Clinton was campaigning for his wife in Philadelphia when a verbal altercation happened between him and Black Lives Matter protesters over previous decisions made by both him and Hillary Clinton.

He reportedly had a 15-minute exchange with protesters in which he felt “drowned out” by the protesters. Bill Clinton has stated he’s not against protestors or protests considering he was involved in a few when he was younger, however he wasn’t of the belief that he was “drowning out” the speakers.

Protestors, during the rallies, were bringing up past decisions made separately by the Clintons during the political careers. In 1996, as the First Lady, Hillary Clinton made comments about violent crime and youth. Protestors chanted “black youth are not super predators.”

In 1994 Bill Clinton signed a crime bill into law. The bill would attempt to lessen gang activity while also making longer prison stays for offenders who were non-violent.

Bill Clinton responded by saying, “You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter.”

Protestors continued with their chants and responses during the rallies, despite anything Bill Clinton said. Mentions of Hillary’s involvement in the fall of Muammar Gaddaffi and her connections to Wall Street were also thrown into the mix. Signs were shown to say “Hillary is a murderer.”

The Trend of Space Exploration Games and how they can Disappoint Gamers

Posted on April 10, 2016 by kayleighladerman

Beginning in the early 90’s with games like Star Wars: TIE Fighter and Wing Commander, gamer’s have always been obsessed with space. However, the limit was always there – a game can’t be as big as actual space should feel, as how would one design a game so astronomically large? Well, in the past 5 years, developers have come up with the answer – an answer which many games, like Minecraft, are already very familiar with – procedural generation. The process by which the game world is “seeded” with objects, planets, stars, and other such models randomly as the player moves around. The real goal at that point becomes making sure that the procedurally generated planets and areas don’t all feel very similar. Recently, there have been 3 prominent space-exploration games that have/plan to use this technology to make the most immersive space games ever created, able to keep players busy for hundreds of hours and never see anything twice. But is this even possible?

The first game on this list is the only one to actually have seen the light of day – Elite: Dangerous. Officially released in 2014 after raising over 2.3 million dollars on Kickstarter, a website made to allow crowd-funding similar to GoFundMe, the game was then released to middling reviews. The publishers didn’t create enough varied content to make each world seem unique. Many planets would seem incredibly similar, except the shade of the grass was different. The publisher also never let the community truly shape the universe, creating trading companies and establishing planets as was promised pre-release.

The next two games, also Kickstarter related, are still unreleased, and are essentially competing for the title of the ultimate space simulator. No Mans Sky, by Hello Games, and Star Citizen, by Cloud Imperium Games. No Mans Sky is an adventure survival space sim set to be released on PC and Playstation 4, while Star Citizen is a space sim focused more around discovering planets and buying new ships via currency earned by establishing trade routes set only to be released on PC. The biggest difference between these two games is the amount of money, as Star Citizen became famous when it became the most-funded game on Kickstarter to date – currently at 111 million dollars. With this amount of money and notoriety, along with the insane number of supporters and donators, one would hope that the game doesn’t fall to the same problems that Elite: Dangerous did. However, a space simulator game of this scale in full 3D graphics has not been attempted before.

Will Imperium be able to deliver, with their incredibly high expectations, or will Hello Games win out for being a simpler game that is more focused and streamlined for the average gamer, not to mention is actually releasing on a home console instead of just PC? Only time will tell, but for now, I think real space simulator enthusiasts will stick to EVE Online for their fix.

Hair Code…Is it right for a job/manager to tell you how to style your own hair?

Posted on April 10, 2016 by maxlolbutzlol

As a woman with natural I yet to come across this issue because my job requires us to wear a hats anyways but so many women with natural fear or worry about a job that requires them to have their hair pulled in a certain way. But it that appropriate to tell someone they have to have their hair in a certain way? People are born with certain hair textures and some people do not believe in changing the texture of their hair because it is inappropriate. I understand if the hair was all over the place, dirty, or distracting I would understand that.

In corporate America you do see a lot of women with straight chemically processed hair or weaves and sometimes you see women rocking their natural hair. I think it really depends on the type of management you have some places have strict rules and some places really don’t so when it come to deciding what career you want to pursue you might also have to decide what hairstyle you would want to rock. Getting your hair done and keeping it maintained is also another factor to consider, yes you could to your hair at home or you could go to the salon. Both require time and money, straight hair requires a lot of time and it can damage your hair which is why many women got natural or wear there hair in protective style. I feel if my job wants me to style my hair a certain way they should pay for it. I understand staying in a certain dress code but when you want me to have my hair a certain way you should be able to give me options or an in house stylist.

People say just wear a weave but yet if you wear braids to certain job they will frown and still be upset with the hair. This is not an issue with American but everywhere, in Toronto a young woman who had gotten her hair done in box braids came into work and she had her hair pulled back and her 3 managers started touching here hair and complaining about why she did her hair like that in front of strangers. Can you imagine going to work and getting embarrassed and harassed just because of a hairstyle you have? Some people say it is just hair but if it just hair why make a big deal out of it? As long as you hair is presentable, clean and neat there should not be a problem.

North Korea, A Country Full Of Lies

Posted on April 10, 2016 by v.king

North Korea claiming another big advancement for their country. North Korea has stated that it has successfully built and tested a engine for ICBM or better yet known as an intercontinental ballistic missile. They went on to say that it would enable the ICBM to strike the United States mainland with a nuclear war head. Hinting that they also made a small enough nuclear warhead to fit into a ICBM. Many are claiming that North Korea is bluffing but photos show otherwise. Photos have been seen of parades in North Korea and ICBM in the parades but officials and analysts in the region are saying they are nothing more then just mock ups.

The funny thing is North Korea is claiming all this success in various testing of their missiles and such but no one has seen this testing in the skies which raises suspicion if the results they are claiming are even true. If you think about you would at least see a missile going that high to the sky or even some type of results but we have yet to see anything leading to that North Korea is lying once again. This wouldn’t be the first nor would it be the last time they pull something like this just a couple of months ago claiming to have made a hydrogen bomb which raised a lot of concerns but the concerns soon disappeared when North Korea couldn’t have proved they successfully made a hydrogen bomb.

I don’t get this country at all for being a country who shelters it’s people from the outside world and doesn’t care about the other countries. It sure does its hardest to impress all of us. I honestly do believe North Korea is bluffing with no test results such as papers or videos its hard to believe that they had successfully done anything at all. Even if they did successfully they are breaking United Nations policies. North Korea is playing with fire and sooner or later its going to get burn and when that happens I don’t think North Korea has the protection nor extinguisher to put out this fire.

Vitamin D is One of the Most Important Supplements You Should Take

Posted on April 10, 2016 by brookeadams91

Many people take multivitamin supplements and consume drink mixes that contain high vitamin content. The fact of the matter is that the human body cannot process all of these vitamins and most of these extra vitamins are excreted from the body. The body is able to take the vitamins and nutrients it needs from a balanced diet, which usually contains Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. There is one vitamin the body cannot get from many foods and is beneficial to get in supplement form. That vitamin is Vitamin D.

Vitamin D comes in two variations- D2 and D3. Vitamin D2 comes from supplements and certain foods while Vitamin D3 comes from the sun. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps to build up strength in our bones. The body also uses it for muscle movement and to help the immune system fight infections. It has been found in multiple studies that individuals who take Vitamin D supplements have a longer life span than those who do not. It is also vital that women take Vitamin D supplements because it helps to prevent osteoporosis, a bone disease more common in women.

As mentioned earlier, Vitamin D is not found in a lot of foods which is why it is important to add the supplement to your diet. In addition to taking a vitamin supplement, sun exposure helps the human body produce Vitamin D. A few foods that contain Vitamin D include: salmon, tuna, egg yolks, cheese, and beef liver (the latter three only contain a small amount of Vitamin D). There is also Vitamin D in milk, which has 25% of the daily value, cereal, and orange juice.

Machine-to-Machine Communication Coming to Industrial Machines

Posted on April 10, 2016 by dsarden17

The article linked to this blog is in reference to a specific company, 5D Robotics, and their business of turning industrial machines into autonomous and semi-autonomous machines. Driverless cars have a long road ahead of them including: legislation, programing, networking. While the technology and the ability to make autonomous automobiles, the infrastructure is not.

However, the industrial world is different. A wide variety of companies have machines that with the proper software and devices can complete their tasks unmanned. These machines are incredibly safe. Humans wear RFID tags which prevent the machines from running accidentally into anyone. The machines run on a network and use a GPS tracking to maintain its location. These machines also use a protocols allowing the machines to talk to one another.

This means in the not too distant future we may see semi-autonomous construction sites. Machines will be able to run and operate construction tasks. One day building construction could be completely robotic. Currently other industries, particularly dangerous ones, use autonomous machines. Mining and oil companies use autonomous vehicles to save on costs or for safety.

Machine-to-Machine communication, or the Internet of Things, is still in it’s infancy. In home and out of home, we will begin to see more industries move to humanless labor. This will be a loss of jobs for people but these are dangerous jobs. In the long term, it will be machines that will take care of most tasks. Wherever we are in history, we are always on the cusp of the future. Whatever we have now will be obsolete. Let’s see how far machines can help humanity.

Stacy Fawcett Stabbed To Death By Son

Posted on April 10, 2016 by dgantea

Early Friday morning, the Plano Police Department received a call from a male about someone who had committed murder.  According to People, popular Dallas food reporter Stacy Fawcett had been stabbed to death by her son.  The forty five year old and her seventeen year old son Josiah Utu both suffered fatal stab wounds after Fawcett’s eldest son, McCann Utu Jr., attacked them before stabbing himself.  The nineteen year old then contacted police telling them that he had just committed murder.  When police arrived on scene at the home in Plano, about twenty miles north of Dallas, they found a deceased male and female, along with a male who was alive and suffering from multiple stab wounds.

The suspect, McCann Utu Jr., was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he later died.  Justin Fawcett, Stacy’s brother told authorities that his nephew had “been different since suffering a traumatic brain injury over a year ago”.

A GoFundMe account has been made to help fund the memorial services for the entire family.  Starting at a ten thousand dollar goal, the fund has already reached almost eight thousand dollars.  Any excess funds will be donated to the North Texas Food Bank in memory of Stacy Fawcett.

Students from Plano West High held a memorial for Josiah Fawcett where he was currently in his junior year.  Hundreds of students gathered around a makeshift memorial to pay their respects.  Students and community members also came together at Parkway Hills Baptists Church to pay respects and mourn for the family.

Do Women’s Migraines Come from Emotions?

Posted on April 7, 2016 by brimacnaught

We all know that we as women are emotional. Whether it be that time of the month or our favorite chick flick, we know how and what makes us shed some tears. Are our high emotions at the root of our migraine problem? Or is there another factor that comes into play?

Women are constantly under stress and they deal with a lot all at once, but does all of our responsibilities cause migraines?

According to “Women’s Emotions Do Not Cause Their Migraines” an article by the New York Times’ Joanna Klein, “Neurologists are very clear that migraines are a real, debilitating medical condition related to temporary abnormal brain activity. The fact that they may be more common for some women during “that time of the month” has nothing to do with emotions.” Meaning our emotions are separate from the migraines we have from time to time.

We all have been fooled once our twice in our lives with knowledge that “seemed true”, but was inaccurate to begin with. Doctors may have told us wrongly, but what exactly causes the pain?

The article states “a chain of events which activate neurons in specific parts of brain and send out signals which other parts of the brain interpret as pain”. For this reason, we encounter pain when our hormones begin to change. However, this isn’t the full picture of why we get migraines.

All in all, it is our job to go to a doctor and get proper treatment for the pain we experience. We can no longer blame it on our nature as women, but seek help to become healthier.

What Are Kids Watching On TV Nowadays That’s Making Them Too Smart For Our Liking? -Here We Tell You If You Need Parental Guidance Control On Your TV or Not!

Posted on April 6, 2016 by jesusalberto2120

Nowadays everything is shifting towards the digital world. Television has been a game changer for many years, but now more than ever is captivating our attention because adults and children are being put under the same category when tv shows creators are thinking of their audience. It used to be that kids would only watch kid’s show, but now, we are realizing that since children have the same type of access that adults have to watch regular adult shows, they are watching them without any parental guidance. So this tells us that the kids in today’s society don’t have the same mentality the used to have back in the day. They are becoming much smarter in the sense that they know what’s going on around in the media world, thanks to not just the television, but also social media, who plays such a big role in shaping today’s society. We no longer need to buy a newspaper to find out about the news, we can just go on twitter, look at the trending topics and it will do just about the same job in just fewer words. We are all becoming used to reading just the important facts of a current event, we no longer care about the details that come to the story because it will make us want to look at something else. Today is about finding information fast that is reliable, and social media does just that, and it caters to all ages so kids can read as much as adults do.
Another point to have in mind is that since we are all culturally different, we all decode information differently depending where we geographically located, our religion, our community, the social status, we have, it all affects the way view news or, in fact, any type of media information.
