week 6 ♥ reading journal

This weekend, I read this article.

http://www.voanews.com/content/hiv-aids-afflicts-migrants-living-in-wealthy-countries/1556647.html

Before, I have learned about HIV/ AIDS in my high school, but it was not enough for us, I think. Such as in Canada, a lot of Japanese also do not have right information about HIV/ AIDS. Do you know how to infect or treat, and the symptom? Probabury, everyone do not correct answer, inculding me. Actually, the number of rate of the infection is decreese in poor country because a lot of organization help poor countries.Of course, it is important to dicrease the number of influention of HIV, but I think the nation have to tell all people who live here about HIV/ AIDS detail. People need more right information about HIV/ AIDS. If they have a right information about that, the number of HIV inflection is dicrease. Also, they have to check more when immigrants start to live here. I cannnot say anything about immigratig, but immigrants have possibility of being HIV/ AIDS. The country does not allow they live easyliy to protect indigenous people. I hope people who influence HIV/ AIDS is released from suffering, and the number of influention of HIV will be dicrease in the world.

This weekend, I read this article.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/world_now/2012/11/south-african-court-sentences-foreign-rhino-horn-smuggler-to-40-years-jail.html

This article is about poaching of wild animals. In South Africa, poaching of wild animals is one of the most serious problem.  Accoding to this article, a pocher killed by useing cruelty way. The number of animals is more decreasing than last year because of it. I think we don't allow poaching, and we should give caution to pacher more. Before wild animal dissppear, we have to result this problem. In my opinion, we have to check more seriously in airport, port, and station of freighter train. And then, they cannot poach anything. We don't have to allow poaching. In Japan, some animal disappear because of poaching, such as ibis, wolf.  It is too late when the animals desappear in the world. We have to protect the animals for a future.

 I read this article in this weekend ''A Hurricane Once More, Sandy Defies The Rules''.

Source* Here is this article link:
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/10/26/163729003/storms-uncertain-track-defies-weather-rules

Reflection*

 Big hurricane that called Sandy hit U.S. This hurricane was different from usual hurricane. First, other hurricane is usually make a right turn and go to sea as they travel north up the coast. However, Sandy turns left and go to straight inland. Second, Sandy expected to get slightly stronger when it moves north. Hurricane became weakly as reach cooler water, but Sandy is different. That' why Sandy will recieve cool air before it reach island, and it will become something like a winter storm because of cold air. In sum, hurricane usually will be  powered by warm ocean water. However, strange hurricane like a Sandy will be powered by pressure and temperature differences in the atmosphere. Sandy is bad one because nobady can expect its progress even profeccional of weather. Sandy will be remembered as the storm that broke all the rule in future. People cannot forget the Sandy, and it became the new hurricane so far.
