Private Schools: It’s The Quality Of Education That Counts

Flocking To Private Schools
Parents want the best for their children, the best clothes, the best toys, and, of course, the best schools. That is why private schools are held with such high regard. These schools are viewed as the beginning of a glorious journey for their children’s bright future. These schools tend to be very expensive as well as restrictive to both the students and teachers. It is easy to see why only 10% of the country’s children attend private schools. With those small numbers and the high amount of cash needed to enter these schools it is no wonder why it is thought of as an elite school system. Since almost every parent’s goal is to give their children the best of the best, then it is obvious to see why parents are willing to do anything to get their kids in a good private school.
People All Agree To Disagree
Education has always been linked to controversy. People argue about methods and systems all the time. They even argue if private schools are better than public schools. The verdict has always been out on this subject. There seems to be an even amount of experts who disagree with each other on the subject of private schools. Time Magazine wrote an article on the subject where they interviewed Jack Jennings from the Center of Education. There he mentions that the children in private school can perform just as well in any school because of their socioeconomic background. That is why private schools are held in such high regard because only the rich can afford to send their child there. These children don’t have to deal with the crime and lack of education that accompanies poverty. Even ‘Washington Post’ states that high-end colleges like Harvard can only accept a fixed number of students per school. Since private schools have a lot of teenagers vying for attention from the best colleges, they will have stiffer competition than their cousins in a mediocre public school. At the end of the day, the school, whether public or private, doesn’t really matter. What matters is the kind of parenting the child receives and the attention he or she gains during his or her academic journey. Stop worrying whether a school is public or private, and start worrying about the quality of education both at school and at home. That will guarantee a bright future for your child.

Proposition 19: Legalizing Marijuana And Keeping It On A Short Leash

California’s Battle With Marijuana
It seems like a lifetime since the first gunshot that sounded the war on California soil took place. Now, this war on drugs has taken a drastic turn. November the 2nd marks the final showdown between California and its ancient rival, marijuana. A ballot called Proposition 19 was posted for California residents to vote on. If this proposition should pass, then the government will gain the ability to legalize, regulate, control, and tax this green monster. It seemed that the commotion leading to this day would see to the victory of the infamous cannabis. But it seems that California people were not ready for it after all.
The Green Light For Marijuana
There are many benefits to legalize marijuana for both economic reasons and social reasons. The proposition allows the taxation and regulation of cannabis. According to the OB Rag website, California will get $1.4 billion from taxes and save $200 million from law enforcement efforts on arresting cannabis users and shutting down plantations. At this time that is a very big boost to the downtrodden economy of California. This also prevents the useless imprisonment of people who poses marijuana. Many good people smoke cannabis and only indulge in it like any other vice. However, when they get imprisoned, the people around them end up suffering. Most of these people don’t deserve such a punishment just for indulging in what research shows is a less harmful drug than cigarettes.
The Red Light For Marijuana
With those benefits, it seems like a sound plan to legalize marijuana. Yet, so many people oppose it. Even some regular cannabis users oppose it. According to ‘Stoners Against The Prop. 19” Tax Cannabis Initiative’, “they believe this would make marijuana less legal in a way.” That is because the government would be the one regulating this product. This means that corporations will be pushing out the small marijuana distributors and minimizing the free business that pot dealers and pot smokers enjoy. For most marijuana users, the last thing they want is Marlboro Man for cannabis. Many also believe that the last thing we need is another legal drug flowing in our blood stream. The minorities in California are already kept down by alcoholism and other drugs. They believe legalizing marijuana will set them back severely.
The Outcome Of The Final Battle
It has been a struggle of epic proportions for both sides. At the start, many Californians were for the idea of the legalization of cannabis. When it came down to it, the dream of legal weed was just that, a dream and a broken promise. The things that regular marijuana users wanted were not delivered. This caused pro-pot users to vote “no” on prop 19. It was a start in the right direction, but balancing drugs and law is always a tricky act. It seemed this time the scales tipped towards law far more than drugs. According to the LA Times, voters are rejecting the idea of prop 19. Let’s hope in the future they will have a better proposition that benefits everyone.

Comic Book Movies Take The World By Storm
Comic-book film adaptations have taken the world by storm.
Comic-book film adaptations have taken the world by storm.
From Ink to Film
Comic books have always graced us with their lore on the television screen as well as the silver screen. It was not until recently that this franchise began to gain some momentum to become the juggernaut that they are today. Now, all kinds of super hero movies are coming out of the woodworks. It all started in the 1940′s, when comic books became popular in America. The first comic book to break into the film industry was the Adventures of Captain Marvel, which back then was more popular than the man of steel. Today, film after film is produced from many popular comic books like X-Men and Spider-Man. Even The less known, but still great comic books are finding their way onto the silver screen such as 300, which grossed over $200 million worldwide. This is fast becoming the silver age for super heroes on the big screen.
With Great Power Comes Great Money
There is a reason why super hero movies are taking over the big screen. It is not just because of the interesting story, visually appealing effects, and simple character archetypes. It is because these stories are fast becoming a gold mine. Matt McAllister, a professor at Pennsylvania State’s media studies stated that in 1989 the Batman movie made $250 million from the film alone. The Batman name continued to make $750 million from other products such as toys and even theme park rides. That is because people love the classic story of good vs. evil that these movies offer. They are also dazzled by the marvelous effects these heroes wield. People love to imagine what it would be like to wield such power and these movies take them into a cinematic adventure, where they can all experience that power. With all the power Hollywood wields, let’s just hope they continue to hold their responsibility to make great movies.
The Sacrifice Of These Great Heroes
Not all super heroes survive the transformation from ink to film. Some heroes become so twisted and deformed that the comic book fans could hardly recognize them. This makes the fans feel betrayed as they watch their favorite hero, who they lovingly supported become a twisted version of what they once loved. A prime example of this is the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. Many fans cried out foul on this movie, not because of the actors. Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine did a wonderful job. It would be hard to imagine a different wolverine after his performances. However, the true villain was behind the camera. The writing, directing, editing made the plot and character seem so ill-conceived. They even changed some character’s powers such as Emma Frost. She was a fan favorite because of her powerful psychic powers, but in the movies she transformed into a diamond version of Colossus. The floors of many theaters were flooded with the tears of fans when this occurred. This is a prime example of what can happen when you make a comic book movie without its true essence.
The True Heroes Reveal Themselves
Although there have been some disappointments, there have been even more successes. When movies stick true to the essence of the comic books, great things occur. Movies like “The Watchmen” is the best example of those movies. It stuck so closely to the comics it felt like they used the comics as the script itself, although they did change a few things here and there to be relevant to the audience’s taste for the current time. This was done in great taste. Its true essence shined through the big screen. Movies like these are the crusaders for diehard fans as they honor them as well as appeal to the masses. Hopefully, we can look forward to film adaptations of comic books such as these with great pride.

Celebrity Perfumes: The Desire To Smell And Be Like A Celebrity
An Array of Perfume Samples
An Array of Perfume Samples
The Scent of Popularity
A lot of celebrities now have jumped into the bandwagon of launching their own perfume line, and these fragrances have become all the rage. These days most celebrities are wearing perfumes labeled with their names. These are names that they had already made for themselves. Elizabeth Taylor was the pioneer in this area. She introduced White Diamonds in 1991 that hit $67.2 million dollars in sales. Manufacturers have brought this idea to launch celebrity perfumes to make their product unique and facilitate branding that earns the respect of consumers. This is where a celebrity lends her name to a company to take advantage of their fame as well as to gain a new approach to self-promotion and much-needed exposure. Companies have continued to create ideas for marketing strategies that make the name a defining factor that would make people want to buy the perfume, because they trust the products their favorite celebrity has endorsed. Perfumes landed by a celebrity always sell like hot cakes. Some celebrity fragrances are fairly common, but they don’t come in cheap prices, because people want to identify it with class more than with content. Celebrities don’t usually get involved in the making of their own perfume lines, but they take time in picking up the scents that carry their seal of approval; thus depicting their personality and charisma to reach out to their fans in the form of fragrances. It is a massive trend to give their fans a reflection of themselves. Critics may say that it’s a way to generate sales even further. There are also some that donate profits from their perfume lines to philanthropic activities and to the charities they support.
Celebrities Don’t Define You
It is always enticing to buy perfumes endorsed by our favorite stars. It is important to consider if the fragrance smells good on you, however glitzy its marketing and aura. People have that desire to smell and be like a movie star, but fragrances can be highly personal and may not suit everyone because people have different body chemistries. It is up to you as the consumer to experiment and decide what fragrance best suits you. After all, if you find a cheaper perfume that smells like heaven, people will think it is top quality item. That alone is worth the time and effort in finding the right fragrance.

United States’ Envoy Stephen Bosworth On North Korea To Visit Asia To Discuss North Korea’s Nuclear Weapons Program
5MWe Experimental Reactor inYongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center in North Korea
United States’ Envoy Stephen Bosworth on North Korea plans visiting Asian countries, China, Japan, and South Korea, as satellite images reveal North Korea’s plans of building a nuclear power reactor are underway. American experts Siegfried Hecker, United States’ Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory former director and Jack Pritchard, United States’ former envoy to North Korea, said construction of a uranium facility and a light power reactor have begun. Stephen Bosworth will first arrive on Seoul on a two-day trip before moving on to Tokyo and Beijing, to discuss North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.
North Korea’s Nuclear Weapons Program
North Korea’s nuclear weapon’s program has sparked interest among other countries, particularly the United States, with which it has entered an Agreement Framework in 1994. The Agreement Framework was intended to further the aims of the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty by limiting North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. In return the United States would give the Asian country nuclear fuel oil to power its reactors and support North Korea’s electricity needs.
North Korea has started pursuing nuclear technology in 1956. North Korea’s founder, Kim Il-sung asked Russia and China for nuclear technology. For decades nothing tangible came out of it until October 9, 2006, when the North Korean government announced the success of its first nuclear test in Kilju. It conducted its second nuclear test on May 25, 2009. American, Japanese, and South Korean geological authorities detected an earthquake with a seismological magnitude of 4.5 to 5.3.
North Korea’s two operating nuclear reactors are both located in Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center. An IRT-2000 research reactor and a 5Mwe gas-graphite moderated Magnox type reactor have been used for its plutonium separation experiments and plutonium production, respectively. The country also has two partially constructed graphite moderated reactors, a 50 and a 200 Mwe nuclear reactor, supposed to produce annually 60 and 220 kilograms of plutonium, respectively. Sixty kilograms of plutonium can make ten nuclear weapons, while two hundred and twenty kilograms of the chemical is enough to produce forty nuclear weapons. Construction of the two new reactors was halted since North Korea entered an Agreement Framework with the United States.
North Korea And United States’ Agreement Framework
North Korea accepted the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty on December 12, 1985. On March 12, 1993, the country first voiced its withdrawal from the treaty, but only actualized its withdrawal on April 10, 2003. The country withdrew from the treaty after United States’ Central Intelligence Agency alleged the country has been harboring an illegal enriched uranium program, which led to United States’ stoppage of nuclear fuel oil shipments to North Korea, as agreed in the Framework. United States’ intelligence officials claimed Pakistan provided key nuclear information and technology to North Korea, in exchange for missile technology.
The Agreement Framework between the United States of America and North Korea, also known as the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea, was signed on the 21st day of October 1994. Under the Agreement Framework, United States would supply North Korea with 500,000 tons of heavy fuel oil every year for electricity and heating purposes until two 1,000MW light water reactors are constructed, to replace North Korea’s indigenous nuclear power plant program and its reactors, which could produce plutonium needed in making nuclear weapons. Furthermore, the framework gave the International Atomic Energy Agency license to conduct routine inspections on the country’s active nuclear facilities.
The Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO), tasked in helping implement the Framework, was persuaded by the United States to cease fuel oil shipments to North Korea, which marked North Korea’s reactivation of its nuclear fuel processing program and its withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty. The KEDO’s suspension of fuel oil shipments led to the end of the Agreement Framework. The North Korean government has forbidden United Nations’ inspectors in its nuclear sites.

Jihadism, The Battle-Cry Deliberately Instilled Among Terrorist Recruits
A book found in a house used by Al Qaeda in Kabul: ‘‘Announcement of Jihad Against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Holy Places,’’ by Sheik Osama bin Laden.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a subordinate terrorist group of Osama Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda international terrorist network, released in July 2010 the first issue of ‘Inspire’. ‘Inspire’ is the first online English-language magazine of the Al-Qaeda international terrorist network. It targets British and American readership. The July 2010 ‘Inspire’ issue contains an editorial by Anwar al-Awlaki., ‘May our Souls be Sacrificed for Him’. The second 74-page issue’s primary author is Samir Khan, according to federal authorities. Khan has written an article in the second issue titled, ‘I am Proud to be a Traitor to America. Khan has since flown to Yemen, where Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is based.
Jihadism, The Battle-Cry Deliberately Instilled Among Terrorist Recruits
Jihad by the sword is widely practiced by Salafi Muslims and members of the largest and oldest Islamist political group, ‘The Society of the Muslim Brothers’. Salafi Muslims and members of The Society of the Muslim Brotherhood regard the principles, teachings, and tenets of the Q’uran and the Sunnah as the ultimate guide for Muslim individuals, families, communities, and states. Salifism considers Islam as taught by the Prophet Muhammad and his followers, including that of the second and third generations, as the only credible basis in interpreting the Q’uran and the Sunnah. Salafism fosters Islamic fundamental beliefs, or the ‘Aqeedah.
Qutbism is the ideology, which uses Islam and its tenet of Jihad, instilled among Islamic terrorists. Dale C. Eikhmeier, counter-terrorism author, summarizes the tenets of Qutbism as the belief that Muslims have deviated from the Islam taught by the Prophet Mohammed, and must, therefore, return to its practice; to tread the path of ‘true Islam’, a strict interpretation of Islam and Hadith (narrations of the Prophet Muhammad’s words and deeds); Islamic interpretations by scholars must not bound Muslims’ individual interpretation of the Q’uran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad; and that the Q’uran’s interpretation must not depend on situational context and history. Furthermore, Qutbism discredits most Islamic history and interpretations by Islamic jurists.
Scholar, research director, and North Atlantic Treaty Organization participant on a study of suicide terrorists, Scott Atran concludes what drives people into terrorist activities is a matter of group dynamics. A sense of camaraderie, friendship, and family in brotherhoods prime martyr-based actions and behaviors. Michael Scheuer, a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst, concludes Islamic Muslim terrorists launch terrorist plans and activities on America because of America’s unconditional support to Israel; the presence of United States’ troops in Saudi Arabia’s holy grounds; its support of Islamic apostate countries; its invasion of and presence in Afghanistan and Iraq; its support of Christian East Timor, a former territory of Muslim Indonesia; its actions against counterinsurgent Muslim groups in Chechnya, India, Palestine, Philippines, and the Uyghur separatists in Western China.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula Recent Terrorist Activities And Operation Hemorrhage
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is a subordinate terrorist group of the Al-Qaeda international terrorist network. It is based in Yemen, Al-Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden’s ancestral home, and Saudi Arabia. Anwar al-Awlaki promoted its transformation into Al-Qaeda’s most active terrorist arm outside Afghanistan and Pakistan. The group is responsible for the April 2010 suicide bombing intended for the British Ambassador in Yemen and the October 2010 rocket firing at a British embassy vehicle. The group claimed responsibility on November 5, 2010 for the foiled 2010 cargo plane bomb plot. The bomb plot employed two bombs in separate cargo planes from Yemen headed for the United States. The bombs contained 300 to 400 grams of plastic explosives, with a detonating mechanism.Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Counter-terrorism Interior Minister, who learned it from Jaber al-Faifi, a suspected double agent for Saudi Arabia after his escape in 2008 and re-joining Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, warned United States Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Terrorism, John Brennan, of the bomb plot.
The terrorist group announced and boasted about, ‘Operation Hemorrhage’, in Al-Qaeda’s first online English-language magazine ‘Inspire’. The group plans on launching cheap, small-scale attacks on United States, to take advantage of the security phobia festering America.

Modernization: Is It A Boon Or A Blessing?

Technology Is Inseparable From Us
If we try to look back into the lives of our ancient ancestors, we would be amazed how far we’ve reached in terms of modernization. The rapidness in development and research is huge and unpredictable. We easily get irritated when there is no electricity or no internet connection, we’ve lost our cell phones, and our car won’t start its engine. We have become so entrenched with modern technology that it has become almost inseparable from us. Sometimes we wonder how people survived in past eras, when technology was not as sophisticated as ours. Imagine how many brains have bled to get us where we are now. We have every reason to be thankful to those people who dedicated their lives to give as such convenience. We can travel miles across continents in hours instead of days. We see people from the other side of the globe, and we communicate with them in seconds. We don’t become victims of superstitions because we are not ignorant and think logically. We have amazing food set on the table in fancy decorations. We have modern tools to help us with our household chores. Enhanced medications have helped people struggling with poor health.
The Risks Of Industrialization
Modern technology could help us speed up every single process. However, it can always be argued whether industrialization has really enhanced the life of mankind. A single malfunction could result to one major tragedy. An engine malfunction could result to a plane crash that could kill hundreds of passengers. People have invented powerful weapons. This weapons that could kill terrorists at the same time put at risk the lives of poor innocents. Powerplants and factories could create amazing products, while creating a massive pollution, that would soon lead to ecological imbalance. It is important to consider that this applied science should prevent social disproportions. People should think of ways that will benefit us in the future for survival and not be oblivious to the dangers and ruinous effects modernization causes our civilization.

Scamming Facebook Is a Business and Business Is Good
Online Fraud

Why Scammers Target Facebook
Millions of people around the world use the popular social network known as Facebook. That is why scammers have found this website to be a haven for unsuspecting users. Scams have a similar rule with sales. The more people you show your products or scams to, the more people will buy into it. It doesn’t help the fact the Facebook is often used by novice computer users. Mostly, the people who use Facebook are parents, children, and casual computer users. All of whom are naive about the ways in the virtual world. They will eventually learn that virtual reality can slap just as hard if not harder than reality itself.
Clicking Your Virtual Life Away
There is a vast amount of scams in the Facebook world. Sometimes it can be hard to tell if they are a scam or not. One scam comes in the form of those popular Facebook quizzes. An example of which is an I.Q. quiz. This scam is rather simple yet clever, because it appeals to our ego of wanting to feel smart and our desire to discover how smart we actually are. The questions in this quiz are extremely simple but that’s not the point. The point is that after the quiz you are required to enter your phone number to get your test score. If you fall for this trick, you will be treated to an extra $10 charge on your phone bill a week.If you are bright enough to realize this is a scam, you are treated to knowing you are one of the few who passed the I.Q. test. Other scams can take the place as must-see videos or news that will make you think or do things differently. Some can cause annoying spams while others can take money from your bank account. There are signs you can spot to realize, if these are truly scams or not. If a page asks you to “like” it and then forces you to inform all your friends about it, before revealing the content, then that is an obvious scam. It should also be an obvious scam, if the application or page requires you to insert some personal information. That is why you should be wary, when downloading any unknown applications as they can siphon off your personal information from your Facebook. In the end, you must trust your gut feelings. If it seems like a scam in the slightest, then just ignore it. There is no better time to sharpen your internet smarts than now.

The Comic Convention Is For Cool Kids And Nerds Alike
Comic-Con 2010
Comic-Con 2010
Comic Con Can’t Be Contained
Over the years Comic Con has grown from a nerdy convention to a must-attend event for all. This popularity can be mainly attributed to the success of film adaptations of comic books. People all over the world are falling in love with super-powered humans in spandex all over again. Even Hollywood is spreading their love and vision of our favorite heroes by bringing in top celebrities to announce their new projects based on comic books to all the fans in Comic Con. This gathering has grown so large it would give the most hardened geek a ‘nerdgasm’. The Pulse of Las Vegas wrote an article about how San Diego can no longer contain the goliath that is Comic Con and how it is best suited to be a Las Vegas event. They even stated that the three top waterfront hotels in San Diego will combine their spaces to help host the event in order for it to stay in the city it was born in.
The Fans Are At Arms-Length
Once the ticket registration opens for Comic Con, the chaos immediately begins. Every year the fans try to get their hands on the tickets the first time it gets available, there is always a crash. So many fans try to acquire their tickets that the website can’t handle the massive traffic it encounters. When they first enabled registration this year on November 1st, it crashed moments later. It was then reopened a few weeks later and it was the same story all over again. Only a lucky few were able to get tickets, before the system crashed and burned. As of now, the ticket system is unavailable. Although the fans are furious, they will still leap at the chance to acquire a ticket no matter how it’s made available. Epic Registration is the company, which handles the ticket affairs and they are hard at work, tending to this problem. How they will deal with such a massive force of fans has still yet to be seen. All that is known is that Comic Con has grown up to be such a success that even its creators are having a hard time controlling it. All we can do is pray that they can hold on to the reins and put this bronco in control.
