The Huffington Post: 'Human Car Seat' Fails To Trick Gaurds At Moroccan- Spanish Border
By Meredith Bennett-Smith
There was an attempted smuggle of a twenty year old Guinean man. The smuggling was attempted at the border into the Spanish city, Melilla. There were three men in the car, the driver, the Guinean man in the seat, and someone sitting on the passenger side (on the Guinean man). It is considered a major fail since the guards were not fooled from the hallowed out passenger seat, it must have been obvious. Melilla is an urban enclave in the Mediterranean Coast, and because of its geographic location, it is known to be like a connection for smuggling and is extremely dangerous. The two men were arrested and the Guinean man is expelled from the region. The Spanish City Guard said, "We've seen some fairly bizarre attempts to get across the border but nothing like this before."

The Huffington Post: Gliese 163C: Newfound Alien Planet In Habitable Zone Might Be Able To Support Life: By Nola Taylor Redd
This is about the fourth planet said to sustain a possibility of life, other than Earth. They are Kepler-22b, Gliese 667Cc, HD 85512b, and the most recent, Gliese 163C. Gliese 163C is said to be about fifty light years away and possibly contains water. It is about seven times the mass of Earth and could be a rocky planet, or researchers believe it may possibly be a "dwarfed gas giant"."We do not know for sure that it is a terrestrial planet," Bonfils said. "Planets of that mass regime can be terrestrial, ocean, or Neptune-like planets." Hopefully this can be a planet one can travel to, for Earth, has become quite overpopulated and there is a risk of not having enough resources to be provided for everybody, we really do need another planet to gain resources from. It is said that Gliese 163C has an orbital period of nine days, Earth's is 365.

Speech in the Virginia Convention: SOAPST
During the American Revolution, only one-thirds of the population wanted independence, one-third did not care, and one-third was still loyal to Great Britain. That one-third population that wanted independence worked extremely hard to earn it, therefore, the men in the Convention. The convention took place in the 1770's in Virginia, and these men have gathered there to discuss their fate against Great Britain. Patrick H.enry has gathered these men and is giving them the message of standing up and fighting. "Give me liberty or give me death", was the quote that inspired many of the colonists to unite and fight against the World's most powerful nation at the time. Henry persuades those in the colonies to earn their freedom through hard work and suffering, but it is not necessary to surrender now. If they were to give up now, those who worked against Great Britain, would have been accused of treason, meaning Henry along with the others could have faced brutal punishments. That is why independence was important, it was for their lives, and for the future or America

Los Angeles Times: Mexico Navy says it captured Gulf cartel leader: By Tracy Wilkinson.
Mario Cardenas Guillen, also known as, El Gordo (Fatso); is one of the top two leaders of the Gulf cartel.  El Gordo was found with a small amount of weapons, cocaine, and communication devices, El Gordo took over the cartel when his brother died from a gun fight against the Mexican Navy. Back in 1995, El Gordo would make drug deals through his jail cell until he was released in 2007. Mexican forces, foolishly, killed many important cartel leaders since the past and released military action against important gangs. "Cardenas (El Gordo) also faces charges in the United.States", stated by Jose Luis Manjarrez, the spokesman for the Mexican federal attorney general's office. It is a good thing that one by one, the streets of Mexico are getting cleaner, but there is still one more multi-billionaire, Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman, whom controls the Sinaloa Cartel.

Cookies and Cream! Cookies and Cream was granted to us as a gift from God. I worship this bountiful flavor and will be absolutely selfish with a cone full of its majestic flavor. Cookies and Cream is the eight of the fifteen most popular ice creams. Grab a blender and create a cookies and cream milkshake and I will bow down to whomever created it. The average American eats about 48 pints of ice cream per year. Nothing can be compared to Cookies and Cream in my eyes, for once one has feasted their eyes upon the all mighty Cookies and Cream, they will go into tunnel vision. Tunnel vision meaning, what you are looking at is the only thing you can see and are focusing on, therefore your soul is already sold to Cookies and Cream. If one has not tried this Gift, that one shall go and sell their soul to it, today.
