“How Bad Do YOU Want It?” (success)

Good morning girls!

Have you ever had someone try  to tell you what your future would be? Sometimes it’s positive and other times they assume the worst for you. Well, that is what Pennsylvania’s School Reform Commission is doing when they voted June 1st to close 23 Philadelphia Public School which is 10 percent of the entire city. Without necessarily saying it with their mouths, they’ve assumed jails are going to be more useful to youth than schools.

Due to a $304 million debt, students will return to school  without many essentials; including books, papers, clubs, assistant principals, etc. Nearly 3,000 people will lose their jobs.

The city has recently begun work on a $400 million prison project, said to be “the second-most expensive state project ever.”

From RT:

Newly unemployed teachers might consider submitting their resumes to the Department of Corrections, though, with the news that the supposedly cash-strapped government is digging deep to spend $400 million for the construction of State Correctional Institutions Phoenix I and II.

The penitentiary, which is technically two facilities, will supplement at least two existing jails, the Western Penitentiary at Pittsburgh and Fayette County Jail. Pittsburgh’s Western Penitentiary was built in 2003 with the original intention of replacing Fayette County Jail, but the prison has struggled with lawsuits claiming widespread physical and sexual abuse of prisoners.

Scheduled to be completed in 2015, the new prison’s cell blocks and classroom will be capable of housing almost 5,000 inmates. Officials said there will be buildings for female inmates, the mentally ill and a death row population.

81 percent of students impacted by school closings are black, even though they make up only 58 percent of the population.

Hey girls!

So we all know one of the most annoying things in the world is when your cell phone is dead and it takes you 3 hours for the battery to get to the half way mark. Well, thanks to 18 year old Eesha Khare, you will be able to power up your cells in 20-30 seconds max!

From Clutch Magazine:

Creating the supercapacitor solved Khare’s issue and also piqued her interest in “really working at the nanoscale to make significant advances in many different fields.”

The high school senior is headed to Harvard University in the fall and she’s toting her invention with her. The supercapacitator received a huge boost at the 2013 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair where Khare won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award. She was awarded $50,000 – sure to come in handy at Harvard – and a chance to showcase her invention to potential investors.

Khare hopes her creation will “set the world on fire,” eventually having enough energy to power automobiles.

Check out Eesha Khare as she explains her awesome invention!

Amazing job, Eesha!
