Houston mail carriers are first in the nation

I personally find it surprising that dogs actually do attack postal workers. There have always been stereotypes concerning this expressed through numerous TV shows, movies, and comics. This study has shown that there is reality in some stereotypes. The other thing im surprised about is the fact the New York City is not within the top 10 cities of dog attacks. Among the top ten are cities like Houston, Los Angeles, and Cleveland.

Students protest assistant principal's retweet

I personally believe that social media controls our day to day lives now. People can't go a day without checking their Facebooks, twitters, Instagrams. With these constant checking it has led to more and more people relying on social media to be more biased about peoples views. Just because you see something on a social media site now does now mean that person believes in that ideal or even posted it. These days its a common thing to "hack" someones Facebook or twitter to change things on there post things that the owner of the account doesn't even believe in.

Ebola Survivor

Amber Vinson, a nurse at the Texas Health Presbyterian hospital in Dallas, was one of the many nurses who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan. Mr.Duncan was the first american citizen who had contracted the deadly Ebola virus. Amber Vinson worked the night shift where she did the little tasks and watched over Mr.Duncan while he slept. After a few days of caring for Mr.Duncan Amber started to show symptoms of the deadly virus which lead her medical staff to believe she had also contracted Ebola but not from travelling in and out of Africa she contracted the virus from Mr.Duncan. This confirms that the deadly Ebola virus is in fact viral and possibly airborne.
