IS WWIII HERE?DEALING WITH THE ISLAMIC STATE

A lthough President Barack Obama may have not directly stated so, it is pretty obvious we areback in war with Iraq or more specifically should I say with ISIS. ISIS is a terrorist organization, though they refer to themselves, being accepted by many, as the “Islamic State.” However, according to Obama, ISIS is not Islamic because they according to Obama, ISIS is not Islamic because they can not put their killing of innocent people on a religion, and many of their victims have been Muslim. Also, they are not recognized by any govern-­ment, so they are not a state. We have been known for taking out our terrorist enemies like, much of al-­Qaeda’s leadership in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Osama bin Laden, and others. In Obama’s opinion we are safer, but we still have great threats coming from groups in the Middle East and North Africa, one of those groups being ISIS. According to Obama, ISIS has no vision other than to slaughter all who stand in their way. “They execute and capture prisoners, kill in their way. “They execute and capture prisoners, kill children, and enslave, rape and force woman into marriage,” stated Obama.

Already Obama has instructed our military to take tar-­geted action against ISIS. Obama’s main goal is to de-­stroy ISIS. He has already planned out how we will do that, announcing “We will conduct a campaign of air-­strikes against the terrorist. We will hunt down terror-­ists targeting our country wherever they are.” Through all this, stated by Obama many times, Americans will not have to fight on foreign soil. While Obama states that all this is only to protect America, many Americans are not to happy about Obama’s decisions.

According to many sources, Americans say we had no input on this war. Americans believe this war is irrele-­vant and will not benefit us in anyway. If anything, ISIS had paid no attention to us until we started picking on them. For example, when Syria had chemical weapons, Obama wanted them to get rid of the weapons, as he was scared it would put our world in danger.

Just recently, America struck about 20 Islamic states in hopes of destroying ISIS. But why? These countries and their actions had nothing to do with us, and now our fear from Iraq has gotten us into tons of trouble because war has started and there is nothing we can do about it. ISIS has warned us to back off or else they will hurt us, for they have already done so in multiple ways. So what do we do now? Is this war, which Obama has been acdo we do now? Is this war, which Obama has been ac-­cused of creating, necessary for our safety, or is it actu-­ally putting our own safety in jeopardy?

Over the past few years the country of Brazil has been in a civil unrest, and the 2014 World Cup only made it worse. When Brazil was announced to be the host country for the 2014 World cup people were livid. The Natives did not like the Cup, they did not want to host it. Yet they had no choice. “We are not in favor of the Cup. We are Brazilians, and football is the culture of our country, now is not the time to protest. The Cup is happening. Protest in October, protest in the elections.” Said by Carla Vilardo, a native of Brazil and active protester. This quote just goes to show that the people not only do not like the Cup, but they also have fierce dislike for their countries politics. Can Brazil ever find do not like the Cup, but they also have fierce dislike for their countries politics. Can Brazil ever find peace with it’s inhabitants before more violence occurs?

LET’S TALK ABOUT SENSEBenjamin Bryant

We all sleep. And guess what? We all do that terribly. We should be getting a lot more sleep than most of us do and at completely different times than when we usually end up sleeping (like how teenagers are supposed to sleep through the mornings and wake up in the afternoon-­evening period. Teens are hardwired to stay awake at night;; this is science, people), but everything, technology, snor-­ing, scary movies, the internet, keeps us awake.

With so many factors, it's more or less impossible to figure out what the perfect conditions are to make sure you get the best rest possible every night without going to a sleep study clinic.

Then these guys had an idea.A wonderful, brilliant, perfect idea.

Meet Sense:

Sense is a sensor that is de-­signed to fade into the back-­ground and let you sleep, while keeping track of everything going on around you and mon-­itoring your sleep schedule, stimuli, and how well you're sleeping.

It works with your Iphone and Android phone so you'll be able to see what woke you up at three in the morning, or why you had trouble falling asleep, or what made last night the best night's sleep you've ever had. That in itself is amazing, but it gets even better.

Black version of Sense hardware

Sense contains sophisticated sensors that are able to sense noise -­ in your bedroom and beyond;; pick up on light, whether continuous or flash-­ing;; monitor temperature and humidity conditions;; and identify particulates such as identify particulates such as dust and pollen.

"Even better?" You ask.

Did I mistype? Yes, even better. You know how we all hate that groggy feeling in the mornings that lingers for Did I mistype? Yes, even better. You know how we all hate that groggy feeling in the mornings that lingers for hours and makes you feel (and occasionally look) like death? Well, Sense has the answer to that: A smart alarm that runs off sensors and is connected on your phone to wake you up at the best part of your sleep schedule. That means you may be up fifteen minutes earlier or ten minutes later than what you set the alarm for, but the end result means that you're not throwing your phone at the wall. Instead you’re slipping out of bed and into the shower with like, probably sixty percent less grumbling. What else can this smart alarm do?How about let you sleep in till you're fully rested and then wake you up before your body goes into a wasteful How about let you sleep in till you're fully rested and then wake you up before your body goes into a wasteful mode of rest? That’s another perk this alarm has. Those lazy days when you don't have to get up will now have the perfect excuse for sleeping in till ten;; sleeping in is actually healthy! You won't lay in bed trying to escape back because you think you're not rested, because Sense will know if you are.

If you're not excited about Sense, then that means one thing to me:You know I'm right. You know they're right. You know Sense is right, you just don't want to admit it.

Sweet dreams tonight everyone. Who knows, maybe something you dream up will be the next biggest thing!

ARLSAN’S ADVICENo really! Have you actually tried going to sleep at night? Or did you end up staying up until 3 AM watching some show on Netflix? I swear, I can’t stand people who do that. I mean, seriously! Why would you willingly subject your-­self to critical amounts of brain rotting? I mean, what’s with the Gotham’s and Arrows and Card House’s? Is it really worth losing a grade over that?

Now, if for some reason this doesn’t help you, I don’t blame you. After all, what are they teaching in school right now? If a class gets you feeling tired, here are a few things you can do to stop sleeping:1. Try to get interested in-­-­-­ah! Who am I kidding!? That never

works.

2. Sit in the front of the class. Sit in a place where if you go to

sleep, your teacher will try to wake you up in

Before I start this thing, I would like to say: CONGRATULATIONS. You have been (un)lucky enough to have the opportunity to be told some advice by me! Isn’t that so exciting!

Yeah, didn’t think so. But hey! Your few minutes Yeah, didn’t think so. But hey! Your few minutes of reading this darn column won’t be any good if you read it with an attitude like that. That said, let’s get straight to the reason I’m even bothering to write for you people.

To answer your question, well, have you tried actually going to sleep?
