The Beautiful Laughing Sister's
Before reading this article I had specific knowledge about the mistreatment and abuse that was going on in the middle east.I knew that their were killings, but never knew that they would just raid innocent people's homes,destroyed their belongings. i never knew that their own security police who I believe their job is to protect people not raped and impregenate little girl. Reading this is very upsetting but it happens all over the world. Even though it is disturbing, it still happens till this day. People are not able to speak up or they would be put in jail and tortured to death. Those who could not take the abuse would kill themselves or try to escape to find a better life, like the sister's in this article.
Medical Marijuana
Before reading this article all I really knew was the controversy on whether or not marijiuana should be legalized.After reading this article I have found out how useful it can be for people with particular medical issues. I've learn that it helps with nausea,vomiting,anxiety,depression. It can also help HIV patients cope with the side effects of their medication. By stopping the nausea and increase their appetitte. Even though cronic use of this drug can also lead o lung disease in the future it still has benefits for medical and psycological problems. It is highly argued over but I say if cigarettes are legal and have no benficial uses and it can also cause lung disease as well as cancer, why not legalize marijiuana.

Eye Communication
Before reading this article all I knew about eye communication is that you can look someone in the eye and probably tell what there thinking depending and the situation and the relationship between those indiviuals. After reading this article I have come to find out that the average length of a gaze is 2.95 seconds. In different countries such as Japan people tend to gaze at one another for short periods of time, because it shows lack of respect. This article also tells us that you may increase your blinking if your uncomfortable or under stress. When interrogating police seem to watch your eyes because exces blinking cue them to detect lying.

Vaccinations now availlable
Before reading this article I knew that the H1N1 virus vaccinations should be available in October. After reading this article I have found out that America has purchased around 195 million doses. Even though they have purchased these vaccinations we will not be receiving all at one time. From outside resources I have learned that America should receive another shipment next month after this batch is done. I knew that the people who are at a greater risk are pregnant women children, young adults and people with chronic lung disease. I have learned that H1N1 virus has cause more than 4,100 deaths. I have also learned that many countries have stopped counting cases so the number of those infected can be greatly higher. What I would like to know is the differences between the nasal spray and the flu shot.
