    This is a very informative piece. I thought that it was extremely eye opening and it's hard to believe that these people are surviving in such harsh climates while we sit here and just talk about it. I think that there should be better organization in this process and more of a chance to get parents and their families to a better place.

Spotted Lanternfly

Over the past few months, an invasive species named the Spotted Lanternfly has been taking over the environment in New Jersey. These flies are indigenous to parts of China, India, and Vietnam. They have begun taking over the environments in Japan, South Korea, and the US. The Spotted Lanternfly likes to feed on many different types of fruits as well as trees. The SLF is easily spread far by people relocating infested materials or things that have eggs. In order to stop the spread and keep the environment intact, we need to constantly check trees for signs of large groups of insects, eggs, or unhealthy growth. Many health organizations have posted that if you see one of these insects, you need to report it immediately and kill it so it can't spread.

Hotel Rwanda: Heroism or Terrorism? Desi Tsamadias

 Some may know Paul Rusesabagina as a larger than life hero from the Hollywood-produced film "Hotel Rwanda", or even real life hero who saved many lives during the horrific Rwandan Genocide. On September 20th, he was convicted on terrorism charges. First, let's back track to the events of the Rwandan Genocide. This genocide is known today as one of the most horrific, devastating genocides in history. It arose from conflict during a Civil War between the more prevalent ethnic group the Hutus, and a less prevalent but more politically dominant group, the Tutsis. In 1959, the Hutus overthrew the Tutsi monarchy, leading tens of thousands of Tutsis to flee to neighboring countries. During this time, a rebel Tutsi group formed (the RPF) which invaded Rwanda in hopes of regaining a politic standing, and in 1994 a plane holding the then President and Vice President (both Hutus) was shot down, killing everyone on board. Hutu extremists blamed the RPF and immediately started a well...
