Aspects of the Declaration of Independence

             The Declaration of Independence was a daring and moving document which marked the birth of a new nation.  It mainly consists a list of grievances the colonists state against King George. The complaints rebel for liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. Throughout the message, the ruler is claimed to be a tyrant in every single way.

             One of the charges affirmed that “He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of people.” This accuses the king to have cut the peoples’ voice. That by all means, he has possessed a dictator-like character and rules with an iron fist. The citizens are angered because they do not possess a legislature in which they can be fairly represented. They fed on the idea that the government served primarily for the people. Therefore, an oppressive monarchy had begun to disgust many. Nowadays, the U.S has a bicameral congress and separate branches in which no one body has too much power. Following this form of government, the right decisions are able to be made by representing the nation with justice.

           Another charge put forward was that “He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Land.” This obstructed the United States from growing as a country and as a people. King George purposely set this to keep the colonies only colonies, not to grow powerfully and ethnically and the United States. Many new lands and discoveries were hid away from the Americans because of this. Nowadays, The U.S has grown into a superior country from the east coast to the west. Many more states were established and trading harbors opened which led the country into a more economic success.

The Underwater Airplane

               In the "Huffington's Post", This Underwater Airplane Flies Through The Ocean Unlike Any Submarine Before It (Posted: 9/21/2013) (Author Unknown), a sharp inventive man named Graham Hawkes creates a new type of underwater transportation based upon air transportation.
               He reveries back into the days stating, "It all started with a little crab." While observing the creature crawling across the ocean floor, he realized that the crab has got it all wrong, and so did he. "These fish are moving in three dimensions, while this guy is scurrying along the bottom," Hawkes settled.
               Inspired by the movement of the fish, he began to design and build the DeepFlight Super Falcon in his garage from 1995, a submarine that flies through the water. Now this boat has become reality, and it streams through the deep blue just as gracefully as the whales do. "Ninety-four percent of life on Earth is aquatic," Hawkes reports. "We live on an ocean planet. We need to understand that. We need to be connected. This is a tool that can do that."
                With a submarine like this, every corner of the sea world can be explored. Just like Columbus discovered America based upon his sturdy ship, Hawkes can pioneer the deepest waters in search for the marvelous findings that can shape the future.

Big Bang Goes Bye-Bye

              The Huffington's Post's "Universe may Have Formed From Debris When Star Collapsed Into Black Hole, Cosmologists Say" (written on September 14, 2013) alternates the fundamentals of the Big Bang Theory for good. 
              The old concept stated that the universe broke from one huge dense astro-rock into perfectly arranged galaxies. But how can an explosion be so uniform? That question has triggered common sense to argue against this point. Therefore, many begin to state that there must have been an extra flow of energy to set the equilibrium temperature throughout all of space after the Big Bang erupted. 
              In 2000, a team at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Germany went into deep research, drawing another possible way that the universe might have formed. Studying four-dimensional stars, the researchers discovered that once these enourmous balls of gas die out, they release a violent burst of power known as the supernova while also creating a black hole. The black hole is found to be that it makes a hypersphere after its destruction of matter. With that in mind, a fresh idea was strung that when a huge four-dimensional star had fallen into a black hole, it fired into a set equilibrium energy flow of an orbit. Thus the orbit provided a spiral organization for the newly formed planets that the Big Bang had given off. 
              With open-minded thinkers nowadays, maybe even the most basic traditional theories can be proven wrong. That is what science is all about. 

The Weeknd Takes Over

The Zeal Online's article on the Weeknd concert informs many on the type of performance which can easily be differentiated from others. The lead artist's unique voice captivates the audience to zone out into their own world. His vocals are powerful and passionate. The critic even stated his claim of value, that the singer sounded like the legendary Michael Jackson. Not only the singer is talented, but as well the rest of his band. It is acknowledged that the guitarist had fantastic solos which had the crowd raging with cheer. His music ranges all types of rock, adding a bit of a hip hop vibe to it as well. Although the concert was fantastic, it is claimed that at points the songs sounded too similar. The change of policy would be to have less intoxicated people at the concert, have the show start promptly on time, and to keep the performance interesting.
The reviewer overall gives a thumbs up on the singer. The Weeknd kept getting music lovers hooked on their dreamy yet rocking album. The fan base grows by every new released single. The only way for this artist to go is up. He has created a whole new genre which keeps attracting more and more zealous followers. Through this review, it is guaranteed that one will get hooked to the addictive music the Weeknd created.

The Blind Carry Guns

          The thought of pulling the trigger of the gun is what can kill a being. Who can give the right to one who cannot even aim? All senses are needed to target properly, especially vision.  However, Huffington's post  "Iowa Issues Gun Permits in Iowa, Allowing Them to Carry in Public" written by Ryan Grenoble on September 8, 2013, shows that is not the case. Citizens without eyesight are able to own this deadly weapon in the state.
          The explanation behind this is based off the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, not allowing  denial of any right to the physically disabled. However, even the famous Stevie Wonder could not comprehend the logic. "Imagine me with a gun, that would be crazy" - he stayed. On the other hand, a policewoman with a blind daughter claims that "If sheriffs spent more time trying to keep guns out of criminals’ hands and not people with disabilities, their time would be more productive".  But for the most part, many of the local authorities are perplexed on the issue and claim that this right threatens the safety of their community. One can question the values of life by deciding which morality overrides - human rights or the preservation of protection?

5K Runs, Suprisingly Fun

“Why run?” most people question. Well here’s why - the latest 5K runs are fun, exciting and creative events which have inspired most to excercise and socialize. For example, the Electric Run hosted in Los Angeles is a night course in which many come with neon spandex, face paint and glow sticks to compete in a 3 mile race. Techno music blasts the speakers as competitors sprint for the gold. Even celebrities attend this meet, like Vanessa Hudgens. She came dressed in a hot pink wig, a polar bear hoodie, and fuzzy boots. Although admitting to not running herself, she states that “the Electric Run is an great event to get people out moving and having a good time.” Another event would be Run for Your Lives, a meet in which ‘zombies’ chase participants through the 5K maze filled with smoke and ‘blood pits.’ These runs are few out of many that have kept people coming to stay in shape and have a blast.

These competitions are not only enjoyable, but are usually held to support a good cause too. The Pants Off Racing is an additional meet in which runners raise money for pancreatic cancer awareness, as well as the Concrete Hero which funds the AIDS Project. 

Through the LA times' “Latest 5K runs are more for laughs than laps” article written by Mikaela Conley on August 23rd, many have figured that these runs have evolutionized into an imaginative, healthy and absolutely entertaining way of having society to get out and move. With wacky and silly themes, people of all age come together to celebrate and be fit. 

Rocky Road is the Way to Go

                   What possible ice cream captures both the sweetoothes and the organic lovers (rhetorical statement/question)? The answer to that would be Rocky Road. It's creamy marshmallows, rich chocolate and crunchy almonds set the scene for autumn to come. Every spoonful, I taste toasty s'mores. And with s'mores come late night bonfires, fuzzy scarves and falling golden leaves (Pathos). Not only the chocolate and marshmallows satisfy the craving for sugar, but the nuts give an excellent source of vitamin E. Almonds fight against obesity and steers away diseases like Alzheimer's and Diabetes. Studies show that even cocoa has health benefits. It helps improve brain function, keeps a healthy heart and gives an energizing wake up call for the day. This ice cream makes an awesome snack for yourself, but is better shared with friends. Plus, on moody days, one can easily chug down a carton of Rocky Road without getting tired of its 'rocking' zest. It makes an exceptional comfort food which can as if listen to your own problems. It will even accompany you while watching movies and snuggling with a blanket. This revolutionary flavor takes my taste buds on a high thrill trek for adventure. It brings out the edgier side of me which makes life more interesting. It is simply sweetness, richness, deliciousness (asyndeton).
