The preparation for extermination of the Jews before the time of World War II was building up for a long time. Luckily, a man was ready to take action to save hundreds.
Briton Winton lived in Czech and snuck hundreds of kids onto trains on that traveled straight through the heart of Germany into London, England where the children were safe.
This is a heart warming and emotional story because near the end, Winton is surrounded by many of the people he had saved during those dark years. They all bless and smile at him for saving their lives.
What I noticed about this interviewer was that he rotated his head in a circular motion rather than a straight horizontal or vertical line. He sat comfortably and fiddled with whatever was in his hands to show that he is focused on the person being interviewed.

http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/the-smartest-dog-in-the-world/
In this 60-minutes video we are introduced to the smartest dog in the world, who understands nouns and adjectives. The video went even further than that when it showed us how the brain of a canine works.
Dogs may be smarter than we think. When taught, our canine-friends can be just as smart as a 3 year old human.
Even your dog can be that smart as the "Smartest Dog in the World", if trained.
In this interview, the topic is also brought up if our dogs actually love us, or if they're just trying to scam us humans for food. Thankfully, our dogs can actually care for us, which is good because I was starting to think my dog is a con-artist.
What I like about this Interviewer was that he moved his eyebrows and changed his facial expression a lot. He would also re-state answers or ask clarifying questions.

The most wanted man in the world was finally caught after reigning on top of a drug empire for 13 years. The mans name is "El Chapo" Guzman, and he will be in jail for a very long time.
El Chapo was located once the Mexican and American marines routed the connections to members of his cartel's phones. Once that happened, The forces invaded and captured the drug dealers in their warehouse.
El Chapo's right-hand-man was captured in one of those events, and was brought in for questioning. It was then the military acquired the information of El Chapo's whereabouts.
The military swarmed Chapo's house and chased him through a humongous and elaborate underground tunnel network. The chase lead to a hotel and that's where the drug lord was caught.
El Chapo Guzman is now in custody of a super-jail in Mexico.
What I liked about the interviewer was that he never stuttered, and elaborated on his questions. I also noticed how he would repeat a strong adjective from the interviewed person. This was probably to exclaim his answer.

20 Things about Bryanna Sterzenbach
This class period I interviewed Bryanna Sterzenbach. I asked her questions ranging from her name and age to questions about Justin Beiber.
Bryanna is a 16 year old in 11th grade enjoys English class and writing. One thing she does not like about school are the annoying people that show up.
Outside of school Bryanna lives with her parents and enjoys playing video games with and without friends and constantly listens to music. Her favorite bands are Royal Concept and Group Love which are Indy/Punk Rock.
Her favorite movie and T.V show/movie genre is horror. Her favorite T.V show is Super-Natural which is somewhat a fantasy show while her favorite movie is submarine, a romance.
Things she does not tend to like are homework and Gueneth Paltra because homework sucks and Paltra doesn't believe in equality. If Bryanna could put an end to anything in the world she would end rape.
Bryanna is learning Spanish but is not fluent in any language. If she could speak any language she would speak Irish Celtic, but live in Russia.
Bryanna was asked if she would rather wear full Justin Bieber attire (Including pants, shirt, hat, and shoes) ALWAYS, or have bad breath and hair all the time. She chose the bad breath and hair.

What I Expect from this School Year
I expect my Junior year at Roosevelt High School to be pretty laid back. I have signed up for 5 fun classes for a reason.
Not even many of the core classes I have are very hard. I don't dread any of the classes I go to yet.
Out of all my classes I think English will be my hardest. I think the test and essays (ESPECIALLY the tests) can be overly cryptic and annoying.
So far, US History is the most boring and by the looks of it, it might continue to be. I think a lot of the people in it are annoying but at least I sit pretty close to some good friends.
My most fun class could be Film and Broadcasting because of all the out-of-the-classroom activities we get to do. Today we are going to the Sculpture Garden and take pictures.
In this school-year we are already getting to the part when the teachers are not still giving us explanations of the subject we are taking. That is a good sign because I have hardly gotten any homework so far.
Another thing that is going well so far is all the people I am meeting. I have already (I do not mean to sound like a loser) a few new friends.
I expect this to be my best school year at Roosevelt so far. With this going well, I can not imagine how fun Senior year is about to be.
I need five more words.

America Takes Another Step Forward
http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/21/justice/florida-same-sex-marriage/index.html
Last week in Florida the ban on Same-Sex Marriage was lifted, being recognized as unconstitutional. Florida became the 19th State to give its citizens this right.
The fight for Same-Sex Marriage has been on a roll lately. Florida has become part of the 13+ states to legalize this type of marriage in the last two years.
Hopefully America's momentum on the subject will continue to power through the next few years. Marriage is a human right that should be given to everybody without question.

Be Careful Who You Give your Money to
http://www.metalinjection.net/latest-news/nachtmystiums-blake-judd-accused-once-again-of-screwing-fans-over
Not comfortable with buying something from someone you don't know online? Your suspicion is not unjustified.
Front-man of heavy-metal band Nachtmystium, Blake Judd, handles the funds for merchandise, and has reportedly been ripping off fans. Judd has reportedly taking funds from fans without mailing back the purchased item.
There have been many cases of him doing this in the past, but this has become a especially big problem recently considering they just released a new album. Possibly being tired of having to make excuses for the absences of his items, he deleted the band's social media pages.
No one has heard from Judd since.
Although Judd is the only one at fault, hopefully now people will try to become more aware of who they order from that's not a official business.
