Syria Executions Video: Rebel Reportedly Films Himself Shooting 10 Prisoners (GRAPHIC VIDEO)
From The Huffington Post
This article is about another Syrian issue from the rebels. These rebels completely do not know when to stop and are around the border of Turkey. There is this one disgusting rebel who decides to take away lives of ten innocent people to show that they are serious? I believe that it is completely getting out of hand by now. One of the men begged, "I swear to God we are peaceful", and what the man with the camera and Kalashnikov does is shoot that man in the arm, he lays on the floor with a bloody arm and it is difficult to tell what really happens in the video. Just sitting and watching the video itself is already difficult, but why would they do this, there needs to be an end to this. The thing about the video is that the Reuters can not immediately verify the authenticity of the video yet, because it is still a little difficult to tell whether this was just a little play to mess with our minds or to mean business.

A memory that has affected my life. This would have to be a memory I would never forget, when I was a little kid a tragedy occurred to me. I was about three to four years old and was playing in our backyard with my older cousins. My older cousin was riding his bike around the yard and started to ride the bike in circles around me, I was a kid, not even thinking and so was he. I was wearing jeans so my cousin got way to close to me and my jeans caught on to the chain and that ended up with breaking my thigh bone. I was crying like there were to be no tomorrow and my parents rushed me to the hospital once they realized I broke my bone. My recovery took about two months and thank God I was still extremely young and my bone healed properly and is stronger than ever. The thing is I was too young to remember that so let me tell you something recent. It happened three years ago and it was during summer, I was looking for something to quench my thirst. I found a Frappuccino mix and took out our GLASS blender. Being clumsy, the stupid thing slipped out of my hands and I tried to make a quick catch for it, but unfortunately I was too late and it already hit our granite table I was supposed to set it on. I was just looking at all the shattered glass and wondering how i was supposed to explain to my mom about the mess, I did not even realize that I had a cut about two inches wide and two inches deep into my right arm. Then I felt a tickling sensation on the arm and realized I got cut, nobody was home so I called my mom and my uncle rushed me to the hospital, for my father was out of town. I got eight stitches and laugh at the experience now and then, it really did not hurt, but I will not forget that moment.

HD 40307g: Alien 'Super-Earth' Planet May Be Habitable, Astronomers Say
Huffington Post
By: Mike Wall
Out of all the planets in our Milky Way, we have found another planet out of the rest yet to be explored. This new planet that we have just discovered is said to be like "Super Earth" and is possibly habitable. They say there are signs of water and is huge. The planet was given the name HD 40307g. Not only does it possible have water, but this planet might be able to sustain life. Apparently, it is ,"...just a stone's throw from Earth". It mentions that the orbit of this planet is longer and that would mean that its atmosphere and climate may be "just right" for humans to live on. HD 40307g is only forty two light years away and there is a 50-50 chance that the planet has the same condition as Earth and may be either rocky or not. They analyzed this planet with a new instrument called HARPS (High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher).

My Three Virtues
The three virtues that I attempted was Temperance, which is, "Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation", meaning that one should simply eat or drink not too less, and not too much. My second virtue is Moderation, which is, "Avoid extremes; forebear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve", which means that one should know their limits. My final virtue is Cleanliness which is, "Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation", which means to be clean. The reason why I chose these three virtues is because I am a messy individual, which likes to eat and take risks. By picking these virtues, I believed that I might improve in my sloppy side and achieve each of those virtues, some were unsuccessful.
Temperance: I was not successful towards the end of my project. Saturday was a day of cheating on my actual diet. The pizza would look me dead in the eye and call my name from a distance, "Gevvoooo, Gevooooo... gevooo". I finally took a bite and took my taste buds to a journey they have not experienced for a while, I was unable to stop at that point, I had already gone too far and I felt as though there was no turning back. I feel bad because I promised myself I would not eat junk food anymore and I broke two things, my virtue, and by its side, my promise to myself. I will continue to work on myself after this experiment and will not eat junk food again for a really long time. For about two weeks I was successful and have lost some weight, and now I know that I am capable of accomplishing temperance, but I failed during the actual project.
Moderation: I was very successful with moderation, moderation can mean knowing your limits and that can also branch out towards subjects like, dangerous risks to drinking alcohol. I did not drink alcohol during the period of this experiment and still will not drink alcohol. I did not do anything stupid, which I am prone to do so. Taking risks is something that fuels my life, one can say, during this experiment, I was a good boy. I love taking risks and it is my passion, I love to have my adrenaline pumping and it really excites me. I can not live without going out into a wilderness-like environment and try and test my survival skills one day. I do not like to physically fight, but I do not mind getting into one, I believe in the survival of the fittest and wish that I can test myself. But there are some things like that, that will never be achieved, especially during these modern days.
Cleanliness: I was successful in being clean. I always clean my room, especially because I have to, but I got used to it and do not complain any longer. My room would always become a mess because I have two younger siblings that would come in and out of my room constantly and I would achieve anger every single day. They will come and play on the Xbox 360 and would have game CD's laying around everywhere, especially during the weekends. I always clean up not only after myself, but after others. If I see something is out of its place, I would put it back; example: Today I realized that my Dre beats were not in its case, what I did was I neatly put it back in its case and back into its box. Along with my Dre beats, I noticed the home phone was in my room; I also put that back where it belonged and went back to my business. I was successful in cleanliness and not because of this experiment, but because it bothers me not to be clean.
