The New York Times was hacked! But how? Who? Why?The Ny Times was hacked by China, after publishing an article, oct 25, about Wen Jiabao, Chinese prime minister, and his relatives billions of dollars made from certain business deals. The New York times was attacked for around 4 months, and had 53 employee’s passwords compromised. Seems like a lot? It is, the Chinese had based the attack on the network, rendering anyone who used that network, hacked. But the Chinese were smart, and had attempted to cloak their attacks, by hacking into the Universities around the Ny Times, and sending the malicious software from there.  The software was a specific strain, that was recognized from many other attacks that had originated from China. Since the “investigators” hired by the Ny Times had not found any hard proof, they advise that it would be not smart to try and confront them about.

I understand why the Chinese would do this, if they actually did do it. You're trying to protect your corrupt relatives from being caught, so of course they would take it to extreme levels. But this is a matter of national security, even if it was only a newspaper article that was attacked, if it was up to me, i would probably take action. But since there was no hard proof, it would be stupid to go up against a country as powerful as China. I don't know how I would handle this, but all I know is that I do take it as an offensive gesture.

   

Your mantra: Let's investigate the natural world. (Naturalistic)
Naturalistic learners often understand the patterns of living things, and they apply scientific reasoning to the world. You recognize (and can classify) different types of plants or animals. You also empathize with animals. Some well-known careers for those with naturalistic intelligence are farmer, naturalist, animal behaviorist, and scientist.

My response: I got a 8% on this. In which I am not surprised. I've never really been too into nature. I've never had any interest in taking care of animal, but I don't mind being around them. I definitely don't apply scientifical thoughts to nature, because I don't believe that I need too. I feel that it is a waste of my time.

Your mantra: I understand what you mean.(Interpersonel)
Interpersonal learners thrive on social interaction. Friends often ask you for advice because you are understanding and in tune with the people around you and their motives, emotions, perspectives, and moods.
Your ability to manage relationships helps you understand situations and take a leadership role when necessary. You enjoy teaching and sharing your thoughts.
Careers that require insight and the ability to read what someone else is thinking or feeling -- such as teaching, psychology, or sales -- would be a great match for those with interpersonal intelligence.

My response: In this category, I got a 75%, I’m not very surprised. In fact, I do tend to thrive on social interaction, except for those few days where i'm sitting at home, being a loner. I believe that I am able to talk to people fluently and for a long period of time. As I can keep a conversation going for a while. Its almost like I am a therapist in training, but that just doesn't interest me in later life.

Your mantra: That sounds good to me! (Music)
You probably sing to yourself while walking down the street. Keep it up! Musical intelligence is associated with enjoying music, singing (vocalists), making music (composers), and playing an instrument (instrumentalists). You are sensitive to sounds and the emotions music conveys. You have a unique ability to know when something is off key.

My response: I am one of those types of people who love to sing and dance, not necessarily sing, but rap to some of my favorite songs. I like to dance, it's fun and exciting, especially seeing what other people can do. I'm not afraid to sing in front of people, well most of the time. Its easy for me too keep a beat going, especially in drum class.  I can memorize lyrics easily, without really focusing on the song. I just enjoy music!

Media Life.

Life

Skinny, dirty, grimy, and muddy

Sick, old, young, and tired

Cages, beaten, miserable, and death

This is what its like in Colva Prison

You don’t get out till your sentence is done

It is hell.

Rich, fat, corrupted, and mean

Old, loud, hidden, and feared

These are the rich

They are the greedy

They are the authorities

Pick it up

Keep it hidden

Cause you never what you’re going to find.

1. Conditions in Colva prison are horrible. It smells bad, Its as hot as an oven, people are literally crammed into their cages, the cages are stacked up on one another,  and everyone is either sick, tired, or hungry. There are all types of age groups in Colva prison, there are old people, young people, children, and even babies! I think the reasons the children are in the jail is becouse they or their parents were poor. Kids are always hungry and if they're going to get fed they need to either steal it or work for it, and i think that stealing would be the best option.So they steal a little bit of food and then they get cought, beat up, put into jail, and stays there for however long.
2.Olivia and Gardo were able to meet up with Olondriz by going to the prison in which he is held at, starting small talk with the guards, and bribing the them with 10,000 pesos.
3.Rat had told Rapheal that he had a large sum of money hidden away in his home, that he was from sampalo and that he wanted to save up enough money so that he could go to sampalo, buy a boat, and fish for the rest of his life.
4.The gardener had told Rapheal and Rat that 6 million dollars was basically walked out of the vice presidents home. The story was that Jose Angelico was given the task to buy the Vice President a new fridge, he ordered the new fridge and when the new fridge got to the house he took out the old fridge and put it in a truck. The thing was that there was six million dollars in the old fridge. He took the fridge to a graveyard and that was were the story ended.
5.What would i do with six million dollars? Well i would probably go buy a 1 million dollar house, buy 1 million dollars more worth of furniture and things to decorate my house with, then i would save the 4 million that was left and use it to buy food, I would definetely travel alot, and I would buy nice clothing.

My use of technology

At the moment i use a Toshiba laptop, a phone, and a 56 inch TV. I normally visit Facebook, Gmail, and pre-hacked arcade games. In ten years i think the technology will be more like holographic. Recently there has been a discovery with a small particle of an atom that can go faster than the speed of light.Einsteins theory is in  order to time travel u have to go faster than the speed of light so i think in about fifty years we will be able to time travel.

Which....is.....AMAZING!!!!?!?!?!?!?
