Global Warming

Well after reading this article, I found out some new things that I did not know before like how it helps the economic and, as well as, financially. also it is said to stay positive up to 2080.
A major positive influence is that [Prof Tol calculated that climate change would be beneficial up to 2.2˚C of warming from 2009 } in other words this means 3 degrees Celsius from other lvels, since global warming from the last  150 years.
Another specific reason is [It will still be 1.2 per cent around 2050 and will not turn negative until around 2080].
Another specific reason is that it [
fewer winter deaths; lower energy costs; better agricultural yields; probably fewer droughts; maybe richer biodiversity]. Which we can all say is a very good and big deal. 
This is a major deal that most people do not talk about nor do they particularly care to be aligned with it,  Well I think that this is a big deal they could be decreased , as well as, deleted from the world with the right process of doing things, just think of all the changes that could be seen if everyone took global warming as serious as they should be.
[Global warming has so far cut heating bills more than it has raised cooling bills. If it resumes after its current 17-year hiatus, and if the energy efficiency of our homes improves, then at some point the cost of cooling probably will exceed the cost of heating — probably from about 2035, Prof Tol estimates}. 
In conclusion, I have told you about the specifics of global warming and the hidden benefits of this topic that is sometime not shown with other things, that effect the environment.

Poop Pills

My first thought about this article when I saw it, was that I thought it was so gross and just plain weird.
The thought of poop actually being able to cure highly infectious diseases makes life seem somewhat weird, but it makes me actually second guess what kind of cures are actually out ther.
Maybe taking this pills work for highly killing diseases but I do not know if I would take them. If I didn't know that they were poop pills and I took them and than my sickness was gone than maybe I wouldn't have my doubts.
My final thought about them doing the research for these pills that Technology is far more advanced or people are just crazy enough to look into it.
 Other researchers are trying to find which bacteria most help fight off C-diff. Those might be grown in a lab dish and given to patients rather than the whole spectrum of bacteria in stool".
This statement actually makes me interested to learn more about the process of them actually soing the research about using poop pills.

Article on SAT process

Are teachers in this world tired of their jobs or are they making the time limits to short of a limit?
I do not think it is the teachers fault, I just do not understand why if people need extra time that they are not able to give it to them, I do not see what the big deal about giving extra time to the students that need it, they want students to do there best,correct well if they actually want the very best out of someone, they need to give them the time to do that.
I think the way the judges should grade the writing articles are by the content of the way students answer them but also they should not count off for the writing articles that they may not finish, because of the short limit time that they are receiving.
I also think the time limit of 25 mins is crazy, because they always want their students to do their very best,well maybe they need more time than that to write the best article possible, with the topic they are given and also they should be able to relax and actually think about the things they want to say and how they want to say it, instead of rushing into writing things.
The part of this article that I agree with and also like is “College professors, according to Gere, expect their students to be able to demonstrate evidence-based argument in their writing. This involves reading and synthesizing materials that offer multiple perspectives, and writing something that shows students are able to navigate through conflicting positions to come up with a nuanced argument. For those trained in the five-paragraph,
non-fact-based writing style that is rewarded on the SAT, shifting gears can be extremely
challenging. “The SAT does [students] no favors,” Gere says, “because it gives them a diminished view of what writing is by treating it as something that can be done once, quickly, and that it doesn’t require any basis in fact.”
I do not believe that I am ready to take the SAT writing part, because I need to work on my sentence structure, my grammar skills and also the way I want to respond to the topic at hand.
I also should work on timing myself when I am writing about a specific topic that needs some thinking skills
In Conclusion, I think reading this article was somewhat an eye-opener to both maybe students and teachers, so now maybe they will create a new testing method and also testing time limit.
