1. "15-year-old girl accused of bomb threats at Keys schools"
2. http://infoweb.newsbank.com.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/resources/doc/nb/news/15A9384073104FB8?p=AWNB
3. A ninth grade female was charged with three felonies and a misdemeanor. She was charged for being a part of bomb threats in December that took place in local high schools in the Keys where she resides. Sources say that a male that is currently not in custody is the one that made the threats, but the female played a huge role in making them happen.
4. The problem is that one of the suspects is not in custody which puts local students at risk of more bomb threats. This is a serious issue as bomb threats are nothing to joke about.
5. Local schools are dealing with this problem to keep students and faculty safe from harm.

2. http://infoweb.newsbank.com.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/resources/doc/nb/news/15A8CDECAF2E2BB8?p=AWNB
3. A study on rats was conducted to see if there was a difference in development when baby rats were raised in impoverished conditions compared to normal conditions. In both conditions, the mothers' care was equal when measuring quantity and quality. The only difference was in the impoverished conditions, the mother's care was unpredictable and in segments. The rats raised in the impoverished conditions were not that interested in two activities that measured pleasure as adolescents. Symptoms like this usually cause depression in later years. This study was done to show how distracted parenting can cause children to develop symptoms that lead to mental health disorders.
4. The problem is that children are not getting the attention and nurturing that they need because of unpredictable and distracted parents.
5. Parents and children are having to deal with this problem as it will leave a lasting effect on both parties.

1. "Brain scans show long-term effects of heavy drinking"
2. http://infoweb.newsbank.com.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/resources/doc/nb/news/15A67D5C11644158?p=AWNB
3. Studies using brain scans have linked chronic heavy alcohol consumption to shrinking of the brain's frontal cortex. In addition, brain scans show reduced white matter which is what controls inhibitions. The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism declares that some effects are permanent while others can be fixed with sobriety.
4. The problem is that too much alcohol consumption by men and women is causing long-term negative effects to the brain.
5. Heavy drinkers are the ones who have to deal with this problem.

3. The University of Montreal conducted a study to observe cortisol levels in teenagers that had a Facebook profile that contained 300 or more Facebook friends. The results showed that these teenagers had cortisol levels that were consistently elevating. Chronic high levels of cortisol levels deal with heart woes, depression, and everything in between.
4. The problem is that too many friends on Facebook leads to high levels of stress.
5. Teenagers with 300 or more Facebook friends and their parents are the ones who have to deal with this problem.

3. A part-time Palm Beach resident loaned a suitcase to a former housekeeper because the housekeeper told him that she was planning to move back to Costa Rica. The part-time Palm Beach resident later realized that the suitcase had bonds, securities, and cash that totaled to $300,000. He asked for the suitcase back after he realized this, and the housekeeper said that she didn't have the suitcase anymore. A couple of days after this, she went to Costa Rica. The resident later realized that jewelry from his house was also missing. The resident claimed that he was deceived by this housekeeper and that is why he waited to report the issue. He felt that all he could do now was tell the police about the stolen items.
4. The problem is that the resident has allegedly had things stole from his property.

Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI found the third article on the long term effects of sustained drinking to be very interesting. Alcohol and its ramifications are often thought of as temporary. Regardless, I do not think this stud will really change how alcohol is consumed or treated as a product, as no one ever really perceived it as a healthy thing to partake in anyway. I also fin the 4th article on Facebook to be kind of surprising, but after thinking about it maintaining any form of popular social media account or persona probably requires a great deal of time and effort, so I guess the stress is to be expected.
Thanks for posting, and here's a link to my own blog: http://ablog4c.blogspot.com/2016/01/identifying-local-opportunities.html
Rach!
ReplyDeleteI found the second article about the rats that were raised impoverished and in normal conditions super interesting. I did not know that the repercussions of this could lead to depression in later years. I have seen firsthand the effects poverty has on kids through my time in Haiti. The kids mothers were distracted and not always there so the kids lacked the nurturing touch of a parent they so desperately needed. I also enjoyed your article number 4 about facebook causing stress on teens- it makes complete and total sense.

Hi Rachael,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! You took a unique angle to it that I loved. I would have never seen a bomb threat as an opportunity. However, you are right: it absolutely is. It is an opportunity to learn and grow from past mistakes, and an opportunity to improve security in schools. Your entire post reminded me to look for the opportunity always, even in tough circumstances. Great job! Here is a link to my blog if you are interested:
