Current Connection on Toxic Chem. Train Derailment.

In New Jersey there was a train crash, that was carrying toxic chemicals. The author's purpose of writing this article is to inform us of this toxic mess, and how government officials are dealing with it. The author's main idea is that every thing is alright since the wreck of the train.


"No serious injuries were reported, but 18 people with respiratory issues were sent to a hospital as a precaution, officials said." These people that were sent to the hospital were later disclosed as being alright except for a sore throat. So there were no real human problems associated with the train wreck except for a couple sore throats which is not that bad for such a chemical as vinyl chloride.


""It appears that all of the vinyl chloride that was in the particular car has dissipated," said Larry Hajna of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection." Most of the toxic chemical must have just disappeared in to thin air. Vinyl Chloride, the chemical that had leaked out of these train cars is very flammable, and highly toxic. So the people in the area of where the train wrecked are very lucky that no one was injured worse than a sore throat.


"The air surrounding the wreck is being monitored and is safe, the official said." If the air around the crash site is alright, then there must not be much of a real threat left. So what could have been a huge environmental disaster was bypassed. Vinyl Chloride is used to make PVC pipe and plastics, this chemical makes humans very dizzy and drowsy if around the chemical for a short period of time.


I can make a connection to another article that I have read. I read about a train wreck one time that leaked toxic waste into a creek. But like this story there were no injuries to speak of either.

Current Connection on Hostess Shut Down

Hostess's Shut down is effecting schools in Mississippi,the author wrote this peice as an expository. "The Mississippi Department of Education says school lunch menus in six out of seven regions of the state are affected by the shutting down of Hostess Brands foods." Patrice Guilfoyle, the Department of Education's spokesperson, claims that they will have to find a new bread vendorl.The fall of this brand of food will cripple the schools in Mississippi. The school officials will have to find a new food supplier to help with their menu. "The Lincoln County School District announced Monday that it is making menu changes because of the lack of fresh bread deliveries." So people will mannage to get by with the lack of Hostess products. "We have been forced to make menu changes to accommodate for the lack of fresh bread deliveries." So the closing of Hostess is making all kinds of catastophes to school executives. They have to change their menus due to the fall of Hostess. The closing of Hostess will effect me personally. I enjoy many of their snack cakes, such as twinkies. It will not only effect the life of me but of many Americans. So the author wrote this as an expository, and this will effect everyone to some degree.

Current Connection on the IScope.

The author wrote this article to expose this top of the line new hunting product. The main idea is that this is a good product for filming your own hunts, for the hunter who wants that competitive edge, and the physically handicapped.


"The option of filming your hunt from the eye of the shooter." This new product fits 90% of scopes. This means 90% of hunters can film there hunts without taking a camera, and possibly a second person. This means you can have that game animal of a life time on camera, in a slit second if you have the adapter, and an iphone.



"The average hunter who wants a competitive edge while being able to film their hunt."  With this product you can have the technological aspect while hunting for your dream animal. The adapter fits rifles, shotguns, crossbows, pistols, and BB guns.So this product is a great object for anyone.


"Handicap hunters who have difficulty using a scope." This product takes huge strides in the hunting field for handicapped hunters. They can put the gun in a rest and look at it from an angle and still make a killer shot. This product is amazing on just that aspect.


When I first saw this product I was happy for those who can not hunt, because with the iscope, they can hunt if they have a rest. I also liked this product because many times I have found myself wondering how you could video through a scope. So this product solved that question for me.


I think that this product would make a great gift for that hunter in your life. I would enjoy one. The cost of this product is 119.00-135.00 dollars.
