current event quiz

1) The new details were that she was sexually assaulted and strangled. The sources are unmanned because they are authorized to not speak publicly about the case which is pretty fishy. I think they provide the information because they wanted to help in any way they could even if it was unknown who they are. I think this story has attracted media attention because not only is it a murder but there is also some mystery sources involved.

2) Technology employers give higher salary offers to men rather than women 69% of the time. Hired.comhelps connect tech employers with job seekers and they can access the salaries and job candidates. One of the causes is that women are setting their salary expectations lower then men do. This is interesting because the expectation of salaries is lower for women because maybe deep down they are used to getting paid less. As I was reading the article I was thinking that they were promoting the website a title to much.

3) The executive order changed  the part of the law that used to not allow anti discrimination protections. The ACLU criticized the order immediately. Paypal said it would not build a global center there, the National Basketball avocation said they could move the game from Charlotte, Deutsch Bank said they are stopping a project that would have brought 250 jobs to the state and Bruce Springsteen said he isn't going to have a concert in the state. They are all acting out to prove that the governors executive order needs to abolish the whole law. 

4) The number of child suicide bombers used by Boko Harum has gone up 11 times in the past year. A terrible consequence of this trend is the fact that CHILDREN ARE DYING. The term suicide is being rejected because the children don't want to die they are being forced to bomb and killing themselves in the process. Boko Harum is a terrorist group in Nigeria which only attacks "soft targets" versus Al-Quaida which will attacks harder targets. They aligned themselves with Al-Quaida. Money motivates people to join the terrorist group. 

5) I picked "Cruz takes Trump to task, says he threatens delegates." Cruz did a radio interview where he roasted Trump saying that he doesn't deserve any delegate and people who like him should be ashamed of themselves. I liked this article purely because I hate Trump and anyone who roasts him is a friend of mine.

6) One thing that makes it different is that each paragraph of the story is a different numbered paragraph about a different subject. The most interesting was the one about Urban Meyer. I would cut out number 1 because it was boring for me to read and I should have stopped at the first sentence!
