Current Connection : Jeffrey Giuliano

“A popular fifth grade teacher fatally shot a masked teenager in self-defense outside his neighbor’s house during what appeared to be attempted late night burglary, and then discovered the teen was his son”, said State police.

My current connection is about a Man named Jeffrey Giuliano who killed his 15 year old son named Tyler Giuliano. This incident happened Thursday September 27 at around 1:00am in New York. Giuliano had received a call from his sister who lives next door saying that she thought someone was trying to break into her house. Giuliano got a gun and went outside to check, Giuliano then saw someone wearing a black ski mask and black clothing. Giuliano then fired his gun when the person he saw started running towards him with a shiny weapon in his hand. When the police arrived to were the incident happened a state trooper took the ski mask off and then was seen that it was the son of Jeffrey Giuliano. (NAL)

I think that it was ok that Jeffrey Giuliano shot the teenager without knowing it was his son because, it’s like your first instinct to do when you think you’re about to get hurt. Jeffrey Giuliano didn’t know it was his son I’m quite sure if he knew he wouldn’t have shot him. I would have shot the person if I had a gun and they were running towards me with a knife. (NAL)

Current event : The Blue Eyed Butcher movie (based on a true story



This movie i had recently seen which i liked. I read it was based on a true story. The movie got my attention so i read on what had happen in real life. Which is similar to the movie. In the movie Blue-Eyed Butcher.Texas beauty, Susan Wright appeared to have a fairytale life with an adoring husband, Jeff, two beautiful kids, and close family and friends. But six years into their marriage, the fairy tale crumbles. Jeff starts to abuse her physically and sexually threw out their marriage but she decides to keep it hidden from her family and friends. Then one day she gets tired of all of the abuse she had put up with and kills her husband.Susan Wright tied her husband Jeff Wright to their bed and stabbed him 193 times with two different knives. She then buried his body in their Houston backyard. She attempted to cover up the crime scene by painting the bedroom. Susan had said she killed her husband for self defence but was it really self defence? If i was abused in any way by anyone i would go straight to the police and let them take care of it. I wouldn't ever like to kill any body.

Current Connection: Secret Flying Saucer

In a recent article Fox News.com entitled "Goverment report on secret flying saucer program mad available" 1) Build a flying saucer. 2) informing us about flying saucers.

"Thers record have been classified probably since thier carmichael, directed to the declassificatin review disisionat NDC, told popular mechanics, which first posted news of the complete document."

"It's like somebody went into somebodies office, emptied out a filling cabinet, stuck it in a box, sealed it off to the federal records center"

"An NDC repreventative told foxnews.com that the group is" in the process of digitizing" the entire document and has not released it onto its website"

The world is always wondering about flying saucers. It says so on the internet, in magazines, and in news papers.

I think in conclution that we should know what goes on and not have it hidden from us.

Current Connection: Why Bacteria, But Not Humans, Can Live on Caffine

In a recent article by Veronique Greenwood. Entitled "Why Bacteria, But Not Humans, Can Live on Caffeine." "How does bacteria live on Caffeine?" "Why cant humans live on caffeine?"
"Compare the calorie count for a black coffee with a latte and it's obvious that humans don't get energy in the scientific sense, from caffeine."

"These doesn't seem to be a problem for the new bacterium, pseudomonas putida CBB5, and several related bacteria that scientists have known for years, who get all the calories they need from it."

"Human liver enzymes, which have the task of processing caffeine and other drugs, can get part of the way there. They can remove the CH3 group stuck to the rings, just as bacterial enzymes do. But after that, humans show the caffeine.

You can look up on the Internet to see what would happen to a human if they tried to live off a caffeine.

In conclusion you shouldn't try to live off caffeine, because you will probably, most likely die.

Book review Crank by Ellen Hopkins

Crank by- Ellen Hopkins : Have you ever wanted to change something you regret doing , well i have and so does Kristina .

Before she moved in with her biological father Kristina was a straight-A student. Kristina decides to change her life. Kristina creates a new identity for herself , calling herself Bree.

Her comfortable suburban life begins to disappear as she gets deeper into crank: She begins to do badly at a school, she struggles in to keep her grades up , steals money from her mom, and even ends up at juvenile hall.  She soon later meets two boys with whom she only has a relationship because of their connection to drugs and their ability to get them. This symbolizes the complete control that Kristina’s addiction has over her. After being raped, Kristina becomes pregnant, and after a long series of decisions, decides to keep the baby. In conclusion, all throughout her struggles, small conflicts and events were caused by Kristina’s addiction.

Current Event- Killing over video

There was a video that American-made insulting Islam's founder it spread to the places across the Middle East on Thursday and threatened Afghanistan, two daya after assailants in Lybia killed four American diplomatic personnel, including the ambassador, and caused a foreing policy political fight in the United States. I think this will never end by hatred that you have a country to another. This happens for the U.S. attack their country is why they target us, his country attacked America first for killing many people in September 11, so we responded by killing there leader Osama Bin Laden.

Rebuilding World Trade Center

In case of a fire, construction planned ways to put out fire faster. 450,000 gallons of water has been placed in the rebuilding of the World Trade Center. Which is enough to fill all the pipes in 50 Empire State Buildings to capacity. More lives would be saved, if any fire was to go on any part of the building. The firefighters would be able to put out the fire faster.

Titanic

The captin is always responsible, he has the responsibility to choose what is right for everybody and to protect everbody. Captain Smith and Smith alone is responsible for the death of his ship and those that he was intrusted to carry. As a passenger ship Captain I realize that this is a mightly hard view. Captain Smith may have not been responsible for the design but he was responsible for the safe and prudent navigation of his vessel. Regardless of any of the circumstances leading up to and during the disaster Captain Smith must shoulder full and sole responsibility for the outcome. For he was the ships master. Much like the King in a monarchy he is responsible for all that occurs. Whether his decisions were influenced by anyone or not it does not matter. The design would not be in question if the accident hadn't happened.

Feel pitty ?

No i do not think anybody should feel pity for the nazi soldier or any of this kind. They have killed a lot of defenseless victims." It seemend as if i had always been in prison camps, as though i were born merely to be maltreated by beasts in human shape who wanted to work off their frustrations and racial hatred  on defenseless victims.The soldiers treated the jews really bad no matter if they are infants, teenager, adult , or elderly . It didnt matter the jews were to be burnt and killed , the only ones who were useful were the teenage kids and those men who were middaged they were sent to concentration camps.Women and infants were killed."Then we began to drive the jews into the house. A sergent with a whip in his hand helped any of the jews who were not quick enought." "When we were told that everything was ready, we went back a few yards, and then received the command to remove safety pins from hand grenades adn throw them through the windows of the house." In that case anyone that kills innocent people do not deserve anybody to feel pitty towards them.

Forgiven or Not ??

A teenager takes his or her own life to escape adolesent pressures shouldnt be forgiven  if you truly believed what God says, that there is no temptation or trial that that you cannot overcome, and that He will supply you with everything you need to overcome it. Why woud you commit suicide/ Problem do end, eventually. In fact, they usually last longer for people who fight them rather than trust in God. Thus, suicide is the ultimate display of disbelief in God. So, Is suicide just a sin that can be forgiven, or is suicide the ultimate expression of disbelief?
