Due to the breach in the computer system of Leaguetown High School, several high school teachers have lost files. Including tests and grades. The Leaguetown Police Department started an investigation.

Therefore, because of the breach, the district is installing new security software, and all computers, including student computers, throughout the district or offline for the next three weeks. Due to the inconvenience it has caused many classes to get behind such as the computer science, web design, and journalism classes. This is a great damage due to the journalism classes because of the Yearbooks. The yearbooks have to be given out before the last day of school. Yearbook day is what all of the seniors look forward to.

“It would be weird not to get my friends to sign my book before I go off to college. I certainly will not be able to come back for the signing party in the summer or fall. Yearbook Day is more popular than prom,” said Reggie White.

For twenty-two years, the school has sponsored a “Yearbook Day,” which is essentially a senior yearbook signing party. All seniors are released from class at noon to pick of their books and attend the party at the gym.

EMT training class starts at Longview High School

I got my article from Longview News-Journal.

My article is about Longview High School joining Kilgore College and the Longview Fire Department to create a program that helps students with EMT training.

“The other thing is, it’ll open up other doors for you. You can continue on and become a paramedic, get your college degree and get your license for paramedics,” said Eddie Bernaldez. I also agree with that statement because EMT training can help you with getting a job.

This affects me because I think that this program would be great! Especially if you want to go into the medical field, as I do. This would also be just a great class to take, even if you don’t want to go into the medical field.

This affects the world because I think this would be a great thing for everyone to know how to do. Just in case you are at a restaurant and someone starts having a seizure, you or someone around you will know what to do.

I just feel like EMT training would be a wonderful thing for every school to have, because it teaches students about safety, and that is one thing that we all need to know about.

It is a fact that nicotine that is found in tobacco produces is very addictive. Heroin and cocaine has been compared to the powerful addictive drug, that is nicotine. Withdraws do come with symptoms such as: nervousness, insomnia, and irritability. Also, something that people do not know is that carbonated drinks, coffee, and alcohol will increase cravings for nicotine. Some people say that smoking is not a drug problem. That is a myth, because smoking is a drug problem. A bad one at that. Tobacco users can also suffer from nicotine poisoning, some of the symptoms are: nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness.
Some people say that only adults smoke cigarettes. That is a myth because that is not true. The average person is usually around thirteen when they begin smoking. Smokeless and spit tobacco, the average person begins at 12-15 years old. Some people didn’t know that most new tobacco users are children, not adults.
There is actually hope that a person can quit smoking. It is definitely not certain that everyone could quit. But some people can. Some people have been told that once you are addicted to smoking or tobacco, that there is no point in trying to quit. That is untrue. When someone quits smoking the your body starts repairing itself. For example, your blood pressure and pulse rates could go back to normal around about just 20 minutes of not smoking. Also, after about 10-15 years of not smoking your risks of all those tobacco diseases that you could get, are reduced greatly.
Some people smoke cigarettes because they think that it will help them lose weight, it won’t. For new smokers and ex-smokers about ⅓ weight gain. When it come to you wanting to lose weight, do not become a smoker. It is safer and smarter to lose weight by eating right and exercising.
Some people hear or think that smoking helps their body relax, but actually, it does not. Nicotine is a stimulant, which speeds up your body. There are plenty of other ways to relax your body, without using cigarettes.

Just please don’t hurt yourself by using tobacco.

More Seek Jobless Aid; Still Near Record Lows.

 

The topic of my article is about applications for unemployment benefits rising in the U.S.

 

I got my article source from Longview News Journal.

 

In my article, it talks about people who are unemployed and could possibly be able to find a job now. If companies keep trusting the U.S economy to keep expanding, that will possibly boost hiring.

 

I feel that it would be a good thing to keep adding on to companies and to keep expanding so that people can find a job easier. This event affects me for when I get a job in the close near-time future, so that can most likely get the job. Rather than, four to five people competing for one job offer.

 

This also affects the world because there are a lot of people in this world that can not find a job because they can’t compete against three other people and all four of them get the job.

 

My topic for this weeks current event is about “Income Growth in East Texas”.

I found my article from “Longview News Journal”.

The article that I chose is about the personal income in 23 Texas counties that grew from $28.8 billion to $43.4 billion dollars since 2013. Per-person income has grown a greater rate that statewide, which is not that exceeding.

I feel that this affects me because I know some people that are not that fortunate. As well as some people are not as wealthy as some other people, so if they keep making the income higher and higher that could really put some people in a bind.

This also effects the world greatly because there are a lot of people that live in Texas. Some people are also not as wealthy as others so therefore it affects the world in that way as well.

 

 

Carcinogen is a substance capable of causing cancer in living tisue. Some car inogens do not affect DNA directly, but lead to cancer in other ways. For example, they may cause cells to divide at a faster than normal rate, which could increase the chances that DNA changes will occur. Carcinogens do not cause cancer in every case, all the time. Carcinogens are not necessarily immediately toxic, thus their effect can be insidious. Cancer is any disease in which normal cells are damaged and do not undergo programmed cell death as fast as they divide via mitosis. Carcinogens may increase the risk of cancer by altering cellular metabolism or damaging DNA directly in cells, which interferes with biological processes. Also, carcinogens can be caused by the use of tobacco.

Flight 93 visitor center opens in time for 9/11

My topic for this weeks current event is about 9/11 because I feel as if it is a very important occasion. I found this article at Longview News Journal website.

Basically my article is about the opening of a visitor center for 9/11.   The family members of the victims got a private tour before the center opened. Which I feel as if that was needed because I am certain that it was every touching. Also I bet with it being a private tour, family members felt better because it made them feel like no one will ever forget what happen that day.

I also feel as if this article is very important so that people hear about this and maybe next year, if it stays open, more people will come. This event effects me, even though I didn’t remember it when I was 4 months old, but it effects me now because i will remember it for the rest of my life.  Also even though I don’t know these people personally I feel for these family members of the victims, because they will certainly remember this for the rest of their lives. Hopefully there will never be anything like this day ever again, because I have heard about this day from my friends and family.

This impacts the world because this day will live on forever, and I hope so does this visitor center because I feel as if this could be used as a educational purpose as well. Also I feel that if the world will keep doing things like building these kind of things then we can help this victims family members feel better about this day.
