Justin Bieber Tells Fans to Stop Screaming, Walks Off Stage

 Timing- 3/4 

This article was uploaded a day after this specific event took place. I only took off one mark and gave them a 3 because of this general post they could have had it uploaded the day of; giving all the information that was plastered all over social media.

Significance- 3/4

This article is somewhat significant in celebrity news, however there are more important storys to talk about than just that a very popular singer that walks out of one of there concerts. I gave them this mark because after the fact Justin had later come back to perform the rest of the concert.

Proximity- 3/4

This proximity of this article is in Manchester England, however this article does not take place in Canada, he is a well known Canadian singer song writer.

Prominence- 4/4

This article is about Justin Bieber, he is a very well known Canadian singer with an enormous fan base which is why this article is of importance. 

Human Interest- 2/4

I gave this mark of 50 50 because this article is appealing to younger audiences and people who feel strongly about music, also this article is a big hit in social media as well. However there are people that do not really care for music or just Justin Bieber in general so they are the other half of the 50 50.

Against tradition, Barack Obama warns he wont remain silent after he leaves the Oval Office in January

Timing- 4/4

This articles mark was awesome because of the timing although it was posted a day after the event took place, I gave them a good mark based on all the information this article had provided for only a day after.

Significance- 4/4

This article has a significance in news because it involves the presidency now. Obama warns he will not remain silent meaning he is going to be involved as he can be with the presidency turned over to Trump.

Proximity- 3/4

Although this article is about the presidency of the United States (US); Canada is very involved in the elections; Canadians are always following US politics meaning it hits our proximity very well.

Prominence- 3/4

The importance of this article is to ensure people who is skeptical about Trumps overtake of the presidency, Obama makes sure to tell people just because he is leaving doesn't mean he will not be involved in the politics.

Human Interest- 3/4

This appeals to anyone who likes to be involved, watch, or even just observe politics. However lets face it if you don't do any of these things then you will probably hear people talking about it around or within a group of people involved.

A last minute protest took place in Houston Texas Baytown area. The crowed protested to keep a particular site that people in the area love to visit. The company planning to build on this site is GNB (Gorilla Note Bank) a national bank that has been building nationally all year. The people had finally had enough. The bank had made a decision on the 23rd of October to forgo this project.

GNB has been the victim of these violet protest over the past few years, however they've been expanding there company by implanting new building's all year round, which explains why people are now furthering there emotions about the GNB company.
The reasons for GNB building recently was because they were only in certain areas and wanted to expand there company to make it more globally.
The protest took place on the 25th of October, there were around 2000 people at the protest and managed to stop the building from being built that week. However the protest did not stop them from building altogether, GNB had later the next week started to build again.

Newspaper Entry #1

Journal Entry

Reflection Entry #1 – First Newspapers

The delivery of information:

Compared to today, readers learned to trust certain bylines and to understand signs of importance, such as the screaming banner headline. Most people believe the newspaper will never be replaced by a computer screen. Newspapers receive the majority of their profits from ads and subscriptions and what isn’t helping is the internet. The only change is that innovation is the key for newspapers to remain relevant in today’s technologically savvy world. Though different audiences may have different preferences, the demand for in depth reporting remains the same. Times are changing and newspapers are quickly realizing that the methods of the internet might be more popular for the younger generation to read.

In the upcoming decade, flexibility and a willingness to experiment with new methods, will likely be the factors that determine whether a newspaper survives or falters.The only change is that innovation is the key for newspapers to remain relevant in today’s technologically savvy world.

Newspaper suppression:

I don't think the government should have any more power than what they have. When you think about it they have complete control over you and nothing of that sort is good for anybody. If the government gains ANY more power we will be so damn poor and they will be rich, also the world will become rebellious and will react in some sort of violet way. So my opinion is do NOT give the government any more power over anything!

Publishing today:

I think that many newspapers today still are critical about the government, because it lets people know there point of view. It lets people know other peoples thoughts on business. Now we are able to speak our minds and voice our opinions on things. If the government shuts down most of the media organizations or newspaper, how would people express themselves? Also, it helps the government to know what the community thinks of their ways and might give them ideas to improve it.

Newspapers in Canada:

I was surprised that the first newspaper in Canada was published in Halifax. I thought it would have been published in a more populated city, like Montreal or Toronto. Although Halifax is relatively big it’s not as big as Toronto or Montreal. If not, it should have been published in the capital of Canada which is Ottawa. Halifax is just the capital of Nova Scotia.

Time Capsule

Time Capsule

1. I would put in a DVD/BlueRay player because they probably would be a very different in the future than today, 100 years from now it would probably be more advanced and easier to use.
2. I would put in the entire series of Supernatural because it is a very important show for me and I would want to share it with everyone in the future. It would be worth it because I put in a DVD player to play it.
3. I would put in an iPhone 6 because there will probably be more than the version they will have 100 years from now, so people can compare it to what they have for a phone then.
4. I would put in a tooth brush because I would put in an electric toothbrush and a non electric one because it probably would be more advanced 100 years from now and they would have something really cool I think.
5. I would put in a lighter because they would probably have something similar to what we have now but I would put it in there to compare to what they have 100 years from now.

Dear 2115 people,

          My name is Nicole Nash, I am 15 years old and I’m in grade 10. If you are reading this I am 100 years old and I'm probably dead but I'm alive right now so I’ll continue, 2015 is a very interesting year. A lot of things happened over the decade, on February 4, 2004 the famous social media site Facebook was launched by Mark Zuckerberg and in November 11, 2001 the New York City twin towers were attacked by terrorist forcing two planes to crash into the buildings terrorizing the city. Also America got there first African american president Barack Obama following that on May 2, 2011 the president caught and killed the terrorist who caused a lot of pain, Osama Bin Laden. June 25, 2009 The King of pop Michael Jackson died from Cardiac Arrest induced by Intoxication.

In the year 2005 there were a massive hurricane, known as hurricane Katrina which caused multiple deaths and destroyed mostly everything, it lasted 2 days and it was the most deadliest hurricanes to hit. Just a year ago on June 4th, 2014 there was a man named Justin Bourque in Moncton that was walking around armed and shooting people which resulted in the death of three RCMP officers and injured two others.

Well I think I have mentioned everything I can remember about what happened in this decade except for the Ebola outbreak we had in the month of February 2014. Ok, so long future people, hope you have better decades than we did.

Childrens Story

Gurbi and Whitney

          Once upon a time there was an orange female cat named Gurbi who lived in a big house with people who had lots of money. She was a happy cat who was loved everyday and nothing could break her mood, until one day her owners decided that their daughter who just turned 7 that she needed a cat of her own. Gurbi began thinking about reasons why they would do this, the first thing that came to mind was that I just wasn’t enough for them anymore. The main reason she thought about was because she was no longer a kitten anymore.

          Three days later on a Saturday her owner went to the pet store to buy a new cat. They came home with a female pure snow white cat with beautiful baby blue eyes. All day Gurbi had to listen and watch everybody having fun with the new cat, Gurbi tried to get there attention but no one seemed to be paying any attention to her. Gurbi soon got jealous and couldn’t take it anymore, she was sad that she would end up all alone. She decided to give up for the day and left to go sleep in her playhouse.

          The morning came and Gurbi woke up thinking it was all a dream but she woke up to the new cat cuddling her. Gurbi got up and woke up the new cat, she knew that they must've named her by now but she was still going call her the “new cat”. Gurbi looked at the new cat and they finally had their first conversation.

          “You must be Gurbi” the new cat said,

          Gurbi was tempted not to answer her but she knew that she wasn’t that kind of cat. She quickly remembered that this was there first time meeting, how would the new cat know my name already she only just got here.

          “Yes, you must be the new cat” Gurbi said,

          “Yeah, my name is Whitney. I hope you don’t mind me being here, this is my third time being in a different home in the last two weeks” she sadly said.

           Gurbi soon felt sorry for Whitney and wondered why an owner wouldn’t keep her around.

           “What do you mean?” Gurbi said confused.

           “I have had three different names in the last two weeks from other owners who adopted me and then they would bring me back to the shelter because they didn’t like the way I ate too much” Whitney said with her head staring at the ground.

           She certainly sounded sad and shy when she said that.

           I knew it was going to be time to eat breakfast soon and i was genuinely sad for Whitney right now, I tried to reassure her that our owners weren't like that, that they would love her for who she was. I know now that I was being too judgemental and Whitney wasn’t really that bad once you think about it, shes just like any other cat or kitten. I then was thinking that I was going to have to stand up for her, I was beginning to think that we were going to be best friends.

          It's been a year and Gurbi and Whitney still live together and are best friends.

          Two years from now they were getting closer and then got in a big fight that tour them apart.

          Four years from now they became friends again and thought of each other as family.

The End
