CE 6.1
1. There are riots there right now due to Freddie Gray incident.
2. They think that the army will be bringing in foreign prisoners of the Islamic State and confiscating Texan's guns.
3. 61 million phones were sold during the first quarter.
4. Girlstart is a non-profit who's goal is to promote STEM.
5. I think that it's good that someone found the power inside of them to get a sex change, as it seems like it would be a difficult thing to do. It's good that somebody famous is doing this because it might give many others the power inside to finally go through with it themselves if they're been struggling with it.
6. The tragedy in Nepal is shocking. It's terrible that ancient buildings, thousands of years old, get turned to dust. I would've guessed that this would be the case. My mom went to Nepal and said how the stairs are only attached at the top and the bottom, nothing underneath. This is simply terrible, and no other way to say it.
It's also scary to think that another earthquake, even larger is around the corner. They say they are expecting an 8 to hit in the Himalayas. I hope that since it's in the Himalayas, perhaps there won't be as many deaths.

Free write
I was born into a common family. My dad's a geologist and so is my mom. They like good movies, detective shows, and chocolate. They are both christian (dad catholic, mom protestant). Once they get an idea in their head, it would take god himself to change their mind. They also value education and their kids education which is where I come in. I am a boy, 15, at the age where I'm supposed to 'find myself', which is what my mom says high school is for. I love my parents; they raised me. Taught me to be honest, not to steal, respect adults, all the basic ideals that are generally thought to of to be the foundation for a kid to grow up and be successful.
Their are different types of success, and different opinions on what those are.
I never really listened to music until 5th grade. I had my parents music (John Prine, Beatles, some Aaron Neville), but I never really listened to it, it was kinda like white noise. I shouldn't say that, I heard it, learned some words, but never listened to the ideas, what the words I was saying meant. In 5th grade I got my first iPod. I mainly listened to hits radio, downloaded the catchiest ones or ones that I liked, and then put them on repeat more than the radios themselves. They were all the same, about partying, drinking, sex and what not. Eventually I dug into what wasn't on the radio. I found songs by people who yelled "FUCK SCHOOL" and "Do what the fuck makes you happy." within the same song. This came to me as a paradox. You have to go to school to get a job and go to college to be happy. My parents taught me that; taught me to get good grades and school comes first. This was all I had thought about until this point.
These new artists I came upon preached disobedience and to disregard authority, just what you want even if you end up homeless and broke, because you can say that you did what you love. This seems like an all or nothing deal, and if it doesn't work out, then I don't know what to do. If I wanna do what I want, my parents probably won't accept that, considering that every time I play my music they refer to it as misogynistic, foul, and disturbing, without even giving it a chance, they just take it at face value.

CE 5.3
1. Businesses would be able to donate 50% of the yearly franchise tax.
2. The two biggest civic challenges are traffic and housing costs.
3. I think it's saying that so many people are dying from police brutality, and even though the victims are laid to rest peacefully, it brings little comfort to know that the one who shot somebody you care about, was not indicted or convicted and sent to jail.
4. Jordan Spieth, 21 years old, won the Augusta Master's Golf Tournament this weekend. He attended UT and now makes a little less than 5 million dollars a year.
5. The number one movie in the country was Furious 7. I haven't seen it but I want too.
6. I don't think that people in America should vote by email. I think it's a great idea for those overseas, but people in the country need to go to a poll to vote rather than just sit at home and vote. People could create multiple emails and vote multiple times. However ways around this would be requiring to enter in your social security number when you vote along with your email, so that way any other votes would be considered irrelevant after the first one is sent in. Even though I don't think this should be a thing, I do think that it will happen in our lifetime.

Magazines Part II
Early Magazine Covers
Early magazine covers were nothing like todays magazine covers. Early covers sometimes didn't even have a picture on it, and were usually deprived on color in general. They were more book like that anything, and commonly had a table of contents and publishing information rather than an image. If a cover did have a image, it was for more decorative purposes rather than to reflect to the contents of the magazine.
Poster Cover
The poster cover is a more commonly used type of cover in today's magazines. These covers used pictures that took up the entire front page of the magazine. These photos are not usually coupled with words, and are the subject of the main story/ cover story (because its on the cover).
Pictures Married to Type
These magazine cover are more similar to Poster Covers than Early magazine covers. They are composed of a picture or main subject, which high lights the main story. However, the cover photo is often accompanied by a few sub-headings of other minor stories through ought the issue. This is to give an on looker more of an idea of the contents of the magazine.
In the Forrest of Words
Magazine covers of this type are almost a direct combination of early magazine covers and poster covers. Like poster covers they have a giant image centered in the middle of the magazine. But like early magazine covers, they are surrounded by sub-headings almost like a table of contents.
My Favorite Cover
The FADER, April/May 2012: "Philip Glass"
I like this portrait the most because of the creative element of a time lapse. Having the same person on both of the covers of a magazine is something I haven't seen before. This exemplifies how Phillip Glass has been around for a long time, and clearly has created and influence from whenever her was younger to his senior years. I think they used different background colors to better complement his age, as well as maybe signify how he has changed as a composer.
