Anonymous said...: 1. Near the Horn of Africa pirates have been attacking any ships that have been going near them. Pirates are targeting some cruise lines and a oil vessel. The pirates that we would think of have swords and wear old clothes and stuff but today they are gangs with guns.

2. security challenges of shipping vessels face things like being shot down and sunk, or being robbed and held hostage. A bunch of crazy things. yes i think the shipping companies should have maybe reserves from the army or something to protect them.

3. yes, the international community should respond to the acts of piracy taking place near the Horn of Africa because this is becoming a huge problem all across the world.

4. partisan means loyal or devoted to a particular party or cause.
I think "today, America is more partisan than ever," means that alot of people are loyal to barack obama.

5. I think that it is important for President-elect Obama to bridge the existing partisan divide because he needs to try to get republicans on his side so they can all work together.

6. An astronaut lost a toolbox out in space while they were out there. If I were in the astronaut's shoes, i would feel horrible if anything wrong happened because i lost the toolbox. If I had the opportunity, i would definitely want to walk in space because thats like a once in a lifetime chance and it looks like alot of fun.

7. At The Green Microgym in Portland, Oregon, they are testing on trying to use the energy from riding a machine bicycle to convert it to useful energy.
The thing works by the people. They ride a mechanical bicycle and it produces energy, plus they are getting a work out at the same time. I think people would enjoy this because its still working out but your helping the environment too. i think this would actually get more people to join. i know i would.

8. I think people could use electric cars to help save the earth and save energy. this help save oil that we may need and stops air pollution.

9. Kate Wilmarth achieved a second degree blackbelt in karate.
I think thats really cool because i always wanted to do karate and she has very well succeeded in it in only 7 years and shes only 14 years old.

10. Kate and her parents view her problem not as a disability but just as a bump in the road. She still accomplishes great things even without feet, thats amazing. People might learn from Kate and her athletic accomplishment that you can reach any goal you desire with hard work, even if you don't have everything you need.

Anonymous said...: 1. Pirates are hijacking ships. Pirates aremostly targeting cargo ships, container tanks, and bulk cargo ships. These pirates are depicted to have swords, whereas the more popular culture pirates have guns.

2. The crew faces security challenges such as hijacking of ships, and possibly being held captive. Yes, I do believe that ships should have a higher level of security on their ships because they shouldn't feel as if they are in danger. In order to accomplish this, the crews could have higher security standards such as security guards with guns, and watch out men.

3. Yes, they should respond to this because this isn't just Africa's problem. This is also now everyone elses because if the ship that is carrying things to export them gets hijacked it therefore becomes two countrires problem.

4. Partisan means to be loyal or devoted to a particular political party or cause.

5. Yes, I do believe that it is important for Obama to fix this problem because America needs to become a whole instead of a whole bunch again!

6. While working on the space shuttle the astronaut lost his tool bag.

7. A gym that is running off of people workinig out and providing ssolar energy. But as a downfall, this gym might not be able toprovide the necessities that other gyms are able to provide.

8. Renewable resources can help save money.

Anonymous said...: 1. According to the program: What acts of piracy have recently occurred near the Horn of Africa? What types of ships are these pirates targeting? How do the pirates depicted in the report compare to the images of pirates in popular culture?

A cargo ship off the coast of somalia was attacked

the pirates in pop culture are depicted as people who are mean and only want gold and riches real pirates are actually hijackers

2. Based on the information in the segment, what security challenges do crews of shipping vessels face? Do you think that shipping companies should do more to protect their vessels and crews? If so, what steps should they take? If not, why not?

yes they should do more, thats their company and their business losing out.

3. In your view, should the international community respond to the acts of piracy taking place near the Horn of Africa? If so, how? If not, why not? What, if anything, do you think might be done to prevent piracy from happening?

nothing can prevent piracy from taking place!!

4. What is the meaning of the term "partisan"? In the segment, CNN's Carol Costello asserts that "today, America is more partisan than ever." What do you think that she means? Do you agree with her assertion? State your rationale.

the term partisan means loyal or devoted to a particular party or cause.
Im guessing she's reffering to president elect Barrack Obama.

6. What problems did an astronaut encounter during her spacewalk yesterday? If you were in the astronaut's shoes, how do you think that you would feel about the mishap? If you had the opportunity, would you want to walk in space? Why or why not?

If I had the opportunity to walk in space i dont think i would, the hole idea of being in space is far beyound me.

7. What concept is being tested at The Green Microgym in Portland, Oregon? How does the technology work? How do you think that people in your community would respond to this type of gym? Would the new technology entice them to join? Why or why not?

The concept being tested is a energy sufficient gym,with solar power technology and floresant lights.
it wont effect most of the people some people really dont care.

8. Can you think of other examples of renewable energy? In your view, what are some of the potential benefits of renewable energy?

Different kind of cars to save gas.

Kate has a second degree blackbelt

Anonymous said...: 1. In Africa pirates have been attacking any ships that have been going near them. Pirates are targeting some cruise lines and a oil vessel. The pirates that we would think of have swords and wear old clothes and stuff but today they are gangs with guns.

2. security challenges of shipping vessels face things like being shot down and sunk, or being robbed and held hostage. A bunch of crazy things. i think the shipping companies should have maybe reserves from the army or something to protect them.

3. yes, the international community should respond to the acts of piracy taking place near the Horn of Africa because this is becoming a huge problem all across the world.

4. partisan means loyal or devoted to a particular party or cause.
I think "today, America is more partisan than ever," means that alot of people are loyal to barack obama.

5. I think that it is important for President-elect Obama to bridge the existing partisan divide because he needs to try to get republicans on his side so they can all work together.

6. An astronaut lost a toolbox out in space while they were out there. If I were in the astronaut's shoes, i would feel horrible if anything wrong happened because i lost the toolbox. If I had the opportunity, i would definitely want to walk in space because thats like a once in a lifetime chance.

7. At The Green Microgym in Portland, Oregon, they are testing on trying to use the energy from riding a machine bicycle to convert it to useful energy.
The thing works by the people. They ride a mechanical bicycle and it produces energy, plus they are getting a work out at the same time. I think people would enjoy this because its still working out but your helping the environment too. i think this would actually get more people to join. i know i would.

8. I think people could use electric cars to help save the earth and save energy. this help save oil that we may need and stops air pollution.

9. Kate Wilmarth achieved a second degree blackbelt in karate.
I think thats really cool because i always wanted to do karate and she has very well succeeded in it in only 7 years and shes only 14 years old.

10. Kate and her parents view her problem not as a disability but just as a bump in the road. She still accomplishes great things even without feet, thats amazing. People might learn from Kate and her athletic accomplishment that you can reach any goal you desire with hard work, even if you don't have everything you need.

2. The crew faces security challenges such as hijacking of ships, and possibly being held captive. Yes, I do believe that ships should have a higher level of security on their ships because they shouldn't feel as if they are in danger. In order to accomplish this, the crews could have higher security standards such as security guards with guns, and watch out men.

3. Yes, they should respond to this because this isn't just Africa's problem. This is also now everyone elses because if the ship that is carrying things to export them gets hijacked it therefore becomes two countrires problem.

4. Partisan means to be loyal or devoted to a particular political party or cause.

5. Yes, I do believe that it is important for Obama to fix this problem because America needs to become a whole instead of a whole bunch again!

2. Security challenges ships face are getting robbed, and being help captive. They don't carry weapons because they find it unnecessary. I think they should carry weapons because it would be less easy for the people to attack them.

4. The term "partisan" means loyal or devoted to a particular party or cause.

5. I think that President-elect Obama should should bridge because even though there are different parties, everyone should work together for one main goal.
