The Nepal EarthquakeBy: Cinthia & Aliyah
On April 25, 2015 a huge earthquake occurred in Nepal were apparently 3,617 people had died. The magnitude of the earthquake was 7.8. It was strong enough to cause an avalanche at Mount Everest, which is not very far away . Many of the country’s historical sculptures and places were seriously damaged due to this earthquake. Also it was reported that in China and India there were several people who died because of this earthquake. Many communities, mainly the ones who were close to the mountains suffered a big damage. "Villages like this are routinely affected by landslides, and it's not uncommon for entire villages of 200, 300, up to 1,000 people to be completely buried by rock falls," said Matt Darvas, spokesman for aid agency World Vision (Nepal earthquake: Death toll rises above 3,000). A man who went in a helicopter to Pokhara said that more than 1,000 houses were destroyed. In Dhading, people were outside in the fresh air without food or home and the hospital near there was overflowing and stores were closed. "Things are really bad in the district, especially in remote mountain villages," Udav Prashad Timalsin said. "There are people who are not getting food and shelter” (Nepal earthquake: Death toll rises above 3,000). This earthquake is the worst for the poverty Himalayan nation in 81 years. It was reported that large areas across the country were damaged and affected. The people that got hurt have been taken to hospitals by their siblings or friends in a vehicle or a rickshaw.A guy named Shirish Vaidya was at his house with his family when the earthquake happened and he described it as "It is hard to describe. The house was shaking like crazy. We ran out and it seemed like the road was heaving up and down," he said. "I don't remember anything like this before. Even my parents can't remember anything this bad"(Nepal earthquake: More than 1,100 killed across four countries and in Mount Everest avalanche). A towel which was from the 19th century collapsed with 50 people inside it. In the night people stayed in the outside because they were scared to return to their homes. The international airport of Nepal was closed due to this earthquake and Sushil Koirala couldn't return back for a meeting between the government in Jakarta. It was stated that 34 people died and dozens more have been hurt in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. This earthquake caused an avalanche at Mount Everest and they reported that it killed 18 people. Alex Gavan a Romanian climber tweeted that there were many people at the time it avalanched. India Nepal is receiving a of of help from other countries. Moments after the earthquake The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi tweeted “Nepal’s pain is our pain...” Nepal did not only receive the online support of India. Within four hours of the quake India had already sent a military aircraft with 285 of the National Disaster Resource Force (NDRF). India sent 10 tonnes of blankets, 50 tonnes of water, and 22 tonnes of food. Even though India was affected too they've been a lot of help to Nepal. China About 683 tourists from China were stranded and China arranged temporary shelter for them. Also they have confirmed that four of their nationals are dead and ten of them are seriously injured. On Mount Everest one mountaineer died and eight of it’s climbers were seriously hurt. China gave Nepal $3.3m and they sent in a medical team. WIth experts ranging from pharmacy to nursing and physician doctors. The team brought with them 13 tons of medical supplies. The medical team that China should be leaving May 6th. China didn’t only send money and a medical team. They sent a military rescue team, who has been through many deadly earthquake operations. Xinhua says that they’ll also be providing not only physical health, but mental too. Pakistan Pakistan sent four C- 130 aircrafts containing a 30 bed hospital, special search teams and rescue teams. They had radars that find people that have been buried under things that have fell and machines that cut through concrete. The planes also took 2,000 meals, 200 tents, and 600 blankets. Pakistan has already found 39 of their nationals and has airlifted them back to Pakistan. They believe that there were about 100 Pakistani nationals and they’re working on contacting them. Japan Japan sent $210,000 and tents and blankets. One Japanese man died and a women was inured. Nepal has 1,100 residents from Japan. But, they don’t know how many tourist are in the country. UK The believe that there were several hundred British citizens in Nepal, at the time of the earthquake. UK foreign Secretary Philip Hammond stated that “There are several hundred British nationals in Nepal at this time of year and we expect that almost certainly some will have been caught up in the earthquakes." They sent a 8-strong humanitarian team and less than $8m in aid. A flight on April the 26, carried several Search and Rescue teams, and 11 tons of kit that included torches, axes, ropes, search cameras, stretchers and tents. Australia Australian governments have confirmed the safety of more than 200 Australian’s out of the 549 that are registered to be in Nepal. One Australian was confirmed dead on MT. Everest and some still haven’t found yet. About $3.9 million in aid was sent to Nepal. Israel There are about 600-700 Israelis in Nepal and about 400 have been contacted. Israel sent a lot of supplies to help and a 260-member team. They sent 95 tons worth of humanitarian and medical supplies, including laboratory, x-ray machine, and rooms for different things. U.S The U.S sent a disaster response team and $1m. Three Americans were killed during the avalanche. One was a Google engineer, a medical worker and a filmmaker. It was reported that another earthquake occurred in Nepal this Tuesday May 12 were dozens of people die because of this catastrophe. This earthquake was 7.3 and they are about 65 people that died and 1,926 that are injured. It was also reported that about 17 people died in India because of this and a few in China because rocks were falling down. A helicopter with forces went after the tremor to help the people.

Elton Simpson posted a tweet hashtagging One of the most dangerous terrorist groups in the world is called Isis(Islamic state of Iraq-al sham). The purpose of the Isis troops is to take videos and pictures of terrific things they do so they can scare president Obama. President Obama gave an order to let air strikes so close to iraq and do what he tells them to.The airstrikes have made “important progress,” but “the work is not yet done,” affirms president Obama. The Isis troops have killed thousands and thousands of Yazidis in Iraq. Isis killed 700+ al-sheitaat people some few weeks ago. Isis started in 2013 starting with not so much kills or damaged make but, after a year, they are now in the top 10 most dangerous troops of history and the moment. A woman joined to fight ISIS after she killed an ISIS fighter that was hurting her family. She killed a person and then start to cheer loudly because now she knew that she was not afraid of fighting against ISIS. She is a young woman that left her home which is Turkish-Syrian. The name of the young girl is Zilan Orkash and is a 18 years old girl.Then she said this words, “I wanted to let them know that their worst nightmare had come true.” “Their friend had been killed by a woman” said Zilan The nightmare of ISIS group is to fight against women's. Not too long away, Isis made two videos killing people. One video was when a 13 year old kid killing a man with a gun in the head and then several times in the body. The other video was when they cut of their heads of other people using machetes. This vídeos were found in youtube and then people started sending them to the tv news and there you could see the violent actions of the people. "Across the border, in Syria, we have ramped up our military assistance to the Syrian opposition. Tonight, I again call on Congress to give us additional authorities and resources to train and equip these fighters," said Obama. Obama now is equipping their fighters to go fight in Syria. People is saying that destroying ISIS is the interest in the United States. The U.S needs to have a lot of resources, guns, armies and everything because by trying to stop ISIS they might attack back and that's why the U.S need to know what they're exactly doing. The U.S. police officers were investigating about two men that were trying to attack a free speech event last weekend in Texas. Police officers are saying that ISIS had sending them to kill someone in the event. The names of the terrorists were Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi. They tried to kill a important person in the event but first they injured a police guard after the police shot them and killed them. Before the attack Elton Simpson posted in twitter this hashtag saying #texasattack. When he posted this hashtag he ask his followers to follow his post. U.S need to be careful with what they do because they might think that they have everything under control but maybe Isis is plotting a trap. Isis is the most dangerous terrorist troops by the moment because of all of there actions that made the world be aware of what's going on. The U.S really need to think about what they are really doping because like I said, Isis might be plotting a trap and might get the U.S go down and then Isis Would attack.

Calbuco VolcanoBy: Wei-Ting Shih and Claudio Rosales Many may describe it as beautiful or spectacular, a clashing explosion of crackling blue-white lightning, fiery lava and thick clouds of ash and dust. But many others, including the inhabitants living in the nearby cities of Puerto Montt, Chile and San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, will describe it as one of the most frightening experiences of their life. This was all because of the Calbuco Volcano, a fearsome stratovolcano located in the Los Lagos region, in the southern part of Chile, a South American country known for having several of the famous moai (humongous stone statues whose origins remain unknown) on Easter Island and an undeniably rich culture. This member of the Andes Mountain Range stands more than 2,000 meters tall (more than 6,500 feet) and is not the only well-known geographical feature in the area. It is located to the southeast of Llanquihue, the second largest lake in Chile and filled with various majestic views; and to the northwest of Chapo Lake, a lake used for extensive hydroelectric purposes. For the first time in almost 50 years, this volcano erupted. Of course, Calbuco has had an explosive past before, so it was not something coming out of the blue. It has had 36 eruptions in its entire history and 13 eruptions recorded officially since 1893. It’s also made of andesite, a rough-textured igneous rock, and has silicone dioxide in its lava, only two reasons of the reasons which make Calbuco so dangerous. But it’s not only that. This volcano has had major eruptions before, ones very similar to the ones that happened recently. There was one from 1893-1894, which was one of the greatest eruptions to ever happen in southern Chile and ejected tons of debris kilometers away, also releasing lahars. In 1917, it also had a set of violent eruptions, thus creating a lava dome in the volcano’s crater and releasing more lahars. There was also another serious incident caused by Calbuco, sending ash 12-15 km. high, emitting two lava flows and producing various plumes. Throughout its history, it has also had long eruptions, ranging from four hours to entire days, like the ones that happened recently. However, as it was stated before, the eruption just a few weeks past had perhaps the greatest impact of all. After all, Calbuco’s recent eruptions risked not only the environment, but also the local population. Therefore, Calbuco’s recent outburst caused various precautions to be made, including several frantic evacuations to protect the citizens living nearby (especially in the close cities of Puerto Montt, Chile and San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina), forecasts to update the Chilean population, the installment of various scientific investigation groups, extra security and much more. But why were these precautions necessary? Now, we will speak about the eruptions that have caused such shock and awe throughout the globe, as well as the aftermath of these eruptions. It was April 22nd, a calm day in Puerto Montt, Chile, when suddenly Cabulco had a massive eruption, its first. Ash fills the sky, people were terrified and slowly became evacuated. Reports say that nearly 1,500 people were evacuated from their homes near the volcano. Later reports say that the total evacuations were 4,400, or 2,900 more than the initial number. Officials say that there was a substantial rise in seismic activity in the hours before the eruption, and that ash flew as high as 9 miles (15km) into the sky. The radius of evacuation for the first eruption was 20 km., although the affected areas ranged even farther. However, that wasn’t the end of Calbuco. A second eruption happened not so long after its first, a humongous display of Calbuco’s true power. This eruption forced more than 4,000 people to evacuate their homes because of the thick ash and plumes that had settled in Calbuco’s nearby communities, affecting towns tens of miles away, as well as some regions in Argentina. It erupted for about an hour and a half and was believed to eject ten billion cubic meters of ash into the atmosphere, something various scientists have proclaimed could be harmful towards the environment. The third eruption, which happened some days afterwards, was much smaller than the previous two but still prompted serious evacuations, along with various prudent precautions. Ash and hot rock were spewed out once more, but only 2.5 (4 kilometers) miles into the air, an amount considered to be miniscule next to the original eruption’s brutal force, which had sent ash flying 11 miles (18 kilometers) into the sky. This eruption had also caused various layers of ash to settle upon the towns that had previously been affected by the first two eruptions where the citizens, who had returned to their ash-drowned homes after the roaring eruptions, had been trying to clean out the volcano’s residuals. However, after the third eruption, officials had been forced to create further evacuations in fear that the toxicity of the materials from the eruptions could harm or permanently damage the breathing of humans and animals alike. Many believe though, that the worst has already passed and that major concerns now find themselves to be lahars, which could be caused by future rains, or further volcanic activity down in the south, which could further disrupt the activity in the cities in Chile’s lower side as well as its neighbor, Argentina, since Calbuco had caused various distortions in the capital’s airport, thus causing them to cancel various flights for safety issues. Ironically, Calbuco’s effects have still not fully ended. A few days ago, scientists discovered that lakes, rivers, and small bodies of water around the volcano were contaminated by ash. Experts also say that Calbuco could erupt more and more in the following weeks, because of remnants of seismic activity detected. Several airplanes around the world were closed, because volcanic ash can cut off visibility from airplanes. However, worst of all, ash that has entered into the the atmosphere may stay there for a long time, a year or so. This could minorly decrease the Earth’s temperature, because it would block sunlight. In all, this could be the beginning of a major natural disaster that could affect Earth’s history forever. The beginning of the end. Works Cited Akbar, Jay.

The Bosawas TripBy: Frank Matus and Gabriel Vargas
The 7th Graders from the american Nicaraguan School recently traveled to Bosawas for three days. They stayed in a beautiful hotel called Las Sombras Ecolodge, where they were surrounded by trees for three days straight. They went to learn, to learn what is happening outside of Managua, in even more rural areas. The 7th Graders learned that there are many things that can be done to help the water in Nicaragua In Nicaragua, you may think that “Fuente Pura™” is pure water, but water surrounded by mud and earth is actually cleaner. The water in Bosawas is one of the cleanest waters in Nicaragua according to CEN (Centro de Entendimiento Natural). at CEN, the 7th Graders did some community service by making dams to help purify the water. The dams were built out of rocks found at the CEN establishment. The rock’s function is to remove the sediments and trash from the water, it separates the two. The rocks acted acted as a filter. Most of the small river already had dams, but we built more to help the CEN. The hike to the Macizo de Peñas Blancas (the waterfall nearest to the CEN establishment) was about 2 hrs 30 mins up and down including admiring the waterfall, according to Frank Matus (7th grader). He described it as if it were one of the most peaceful things in the world, and some 7th Graders claimed they had seen a rainbow on the rocks under the waterfall, El arcoiris. The history of the fountain is interesting, it all began when indigenous people that used to live in the area saw the rainbow on the floor at the fall of the waterfall, they saw it as a sign of their gods, and made it a place to pray when they need to. We interviewed three seventh graders who went to the ANS 2015 Bosawas Trip. Leslie Coe is one of them, here are his thoughts on the subject: “I especially liked it when we were at the hotel because we had fun with the teachers making strange sounds and going out of the bedrooms. I would invite other friends that didn't go so they have a good time, it was very fun for me and my friends”. Frank Matus is another seventh grader he has been three times to Bosawas including this school sponsored trip, but this was the first time he went with his friends, not only with his family. “I really liked going to Bosawas with my friends because it was way more entertaining that just going with my family alone. It was a different experience because I was with the people I spend most of a regular day with. When we were at the hotel, it was the moment that we were seventh grade, not group A, B, C, or D”. Duke Davis, another seventh grader, is a very adventurous traveler gave us a few thoughts. “I think it was a great experience for everyone, it gave the seventh graders a nice break from school which is very fun. It is my first time to Bosawas but I have been near there. It was a really nice experience for all of us”. The hotel that the seventh graders stayed at a hotel called “Las Sombras Ecolodge” where they have a few tourist attractions that the seventh graders enjoyed like a “Mariposario” (Butterfly Garden) and a “Ranario” (ranarium: frog garden). The most famous frog at the ecolodge is the “rana de ojos rojos” (red eyed tree frog). The ecolodge was not for the people who would want to be in a room with internet and television, it is for the people that are adventurous. The hotel also has it’s own coffee garden where they use extremely natural procedures to plant and get coffee beans, no artificial technology to get the coffee, it is 100% clean and natural to make the most natural and healthy coffee as possible. This hotel was as natural and close to forest grounds as possible. Bosawas’ deforestation should be stopped because it is a sacred ground for the tribes that live in the heart of the natural reserve. These tribes make music, cultural activities, and different interesting jobs that are very nice and honorable to explorers and cultural and religious people. This experience is very nice for anyone, it helps spread the word of the deforestation in the forests of Bosawas. people should help more because Bosawas is not world famous, it is only known to those extremely pro-active people that enjoy going on an extreme adventure in foreign lands or to any pro active person. Bosawas is known as the left lung of America, the right lung being the Amazons. This is why we need to protect it from the people to deforest it to get wood and resources that we don’t need much more of. If anyone were a de-forester, would they ever ask themselves what it would be like to lose a lung. Wash8tonWash8ton
By: Vanessa Bendana & Maria Cobos For you, Wednesday May 6 started ordinary. You woke up at five-ish, got dressed, ate breakfast and went to school. Normal, right? However, most of the eighth grade team, woke up at four-ish, got dressed, finished packing up (we know they didn't pack up the day before *wink *wink) and hurried to the airport, hoping that the airplane wouldn't leave them. They probably sleep walked through the airport, checked-in their bags and got on an airplane, most likely where they tried to catch up with sleep. For the next three hours to Atlanta they probably read, listened to music, talked to their friends and most likely got shushed by the grumpy old man in the backseat (every plane has one). So, where were the eighth graders heading? The eighth graders were heading to a place full of museums and history, including the White House, that shares a name with a famous U.S. president. Thats right, the eighth graders were heading to Washington! As soon as they arrived and stepped out of the plane, there was only one thing on their minds, food. They had dinner at Buca di Beppo, pasta, and later on visited the memorial of one of the most recognized leaders today, the 16th president of the United States. Yes, you guessed it, Abraham Lincoln. You probably have memorized his life about now, but they got to explore the history in detail. Then, they moved on to their next stop, the Vietnam memorial, and finally to the Korean memorial, where their minds were enriched with new information and knowledge about culture and antecedents in our past. After a long and tiring day of flying, the eighth graders returned to their hotel and rested, anxious for their the next adventure. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judge by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." You probably heard this since you were in elementary school. You read the books, the biographies, you made reports about this and about the author of this quote. Martin Luther King was an inspiring activist who fought for African-American rights and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He lived memorable life up until April 1968, when he was assassinated. This is just background information for King's life, but the eighth graders got to go to a Memorial and got to learn about his life, his goals and his achievements. Not only did they get to go to King's memorial but to Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Pentagon 9/11 Memorial and Air Force Memorial. Franklin Roosevelt was born on January 30 of 1882 and became president in 1921, being the thirty-second president of the U.S.A., the only president to be reelected four times. He was also in the presidency while the U.S. was going through World War II and the Great Depression. At the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the students got to know more about the personal and political life of the third president and the writer of the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. Later the scholars went to the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial, built to remember the heroes who died in September 11 of 2001, in what is considered to be one of the greatest act of terrorism in the United States. On September 11 of 2001 in Washington, five terrorist passed unnoticed through the security of the International Airport, at approximately 8:53 one of the hijackers took over the pilot spot and the other ones watched out to prevent the other 64 passengers and crew members from trying to stop them. Flight 77 was full of scared people when it crashed in the Pentagon, destroying the building and provoking more chaos. The eighth graders learned more about this event, the heroes who were part of it and the terrorist who decided to end so many lives that day. The last but not least memorial was the Air force Memorial, which was made to thank the people who help the United States through the Air Force. However, that wasn’t it. Who would have guess that the eighth graders had such a tight schedule?! Anyways, they visited the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court Lecture, the Capitol Build and Crime and punishment Museum. Interested in mass murders, Bonnie and Clyde, serial killers and major crimes?! You should really make sure to go to Washington's Crime and Punishment Museum. This museum helps you know about criminal histories and ways to protects yourself in emergencies. This is a place worth visiting! The third day, as soon as they woke up, they headed to Arlington National Cementery, where they contemplated the gravesite of the ‘unknown soldier’. This is “a monument dedicated to American service members who have died without their remains being identified.” (Tomb of the Unknowns). In the same site, they visited the John F. Kennedy eternal flame, a presidential memorial, lightened by Mrs. kennedy. Is it really eternal? Well, the eternal flame will not extinguish, even with any climate conditions, since it has constant electric spark, designed by the Institute of Gas Technology of Chicago. Furthermore, they viewed the spectacle of the V-E (Victory in Europe) 70th Anniversary Air Show (WWII Planes) across the sky. Then, after having Lunch in the Ronald Reagan Building, they went to the Newseum. Described as an unique “interactive museum of news and journalism”. Subsequently, they stopped by the second most visited museum in the world, the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, having “over 126 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites, and human cultural artifacts.” (National Museum of Natural History). Pretty nice, uh? Well, afterwards, they went to see the World War II memorial, addressed to the Americans that served the armed forces during this period of time. And finally, they ended the night at the Diner Cruise in the Potomac, with unbelievable views! On the fourth day of the trip the eighth graders got to go to National Air and Space Museum. In this museum they got to see the history and structure of airplanes, spaceships and war planes through the time. After visiting the museum, the students went to see the National Archives, like the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Magna Casta. After seeing these important documents, the scholars visited the Holocaust Memorial Museum, where they got to learn more about the WWII holocaust and learned about the stories and experiences of the survivors. However, this museum was not the only one visited by the participants this day because the Smithsonian American History Museum was visited shortly afterwards. This historic museum taught them more about the trains, presidents and food in America. After visiting these museums, they went to the White House to take some pictures from the outside. After this tiring and hot day, they all directed to Dinner King Street Blues, where they ate ice cream sandwiches. What a better way to end a day? Oh, but the day wasn’t over. After the refreshing treat, the students went to one last place before going back to their hotel. They directed to what Ms. Frick calls one of the funniest plays she ever seen. The play was about a murder in a hair salon, but the best part? The cast didn’t only participated and integrated with the audience, but the audience got to choose the murder with questions the actors and actresses asked them. This play was the last thing on the eighth graders schedule and afterwards they return to their hotel, and just like that the fourth day of this adventure finished. The scholars started the fifth day in the historic and elegant Ford Theater. Actors have been performing there since 1860, being the actual one where Abraham Lincoln assassination took place! Then, they had a delicious sweet breakfast at D.C. Cupcakes, also called as the Georgetown cupcakes. Later, they went to the Pentagon City mall and after packing their bags, they headed to the airport and flew home. After all it was a great experience. The eighth graders not only had fun and worked together, but also learned a lot about presidents, history and culture. Maybe it had been a long and tiring trip but it was worth every second.
