Who Got The Last Laugh?

Iggy Azalea (24), an Australian rapper came to the United States at the age of 16 to peruse her dreams of becoming involved in hip hop music. Another male rapper who goes by the name of Snoop Dogg, was bullying Iggy on Instagram because of the way she looks. He mocked her appearance and compared her to Marlon Wayans "White Chicks" character. Instead of being upset Iggy turned the joke around on him and dressed up as the "White Chicks" for Halloween. The male rapper apologized. -by Miay Paden

Mama June dated and dumped McDaniel 10 years ago. It was reported that McDaniel went to jail for doing something of that degree to a family member . Back in September Mama June had split from Suga Bear, Alana's/Honey Boo-boo's father. The two were never legally married but their vows were exchanged . The show and all events surrounding it have been cancelled and went into effect immediately. Mama June has said that, "The experience was great for the whole family and that her girls have been able to do things that they haven't ever been able to and that they are grateful to have had these many fans support them through the years."

Betsey John was born in Wethersfield, Connecticut on August 10, 1942. Johnson grew up in the nearby town of Terryville as a child, where she indulged in her two greatest things: drawing and dance. She had a talent for art, and throughout her youth years, she trained in various styles of dance. These are the two things that led Johnson to fashion designing. She loved the costumes she wore at her dance recitals, so she spent long afternoons sketching more ideas. Her fashion career skyrocketed when her avant garde designs became part of the 1960s "Youthquake" movement. In the 70s, however, her career slumped until the punk rock style inspired her to create fashion for a new generation. Johnson opened a boutique in New York's Soho neighborhood, eventually followed by more than 60 stores worldwide. Some of her favorite quotes were... "You have to hold onto your fantasy." And "Hard times always lead to something great." Some of her fashions can be found in Macys, Dillard's, TJ Maxx, Gabe's, and Ross.

China China has developed a highly accurate laser weapon system that can shoot down light drones at low altitude. The laser system is expected to "play a key role in ensuring security during major events in urban areas" and address concerns on unlicensed mapping activities. It is effective up to a maximum altitude of 500 meters and against aircraft flying at up to 50 meters per second (112mph). The system, which can be installed on vehicles, shot down more than 30 drones in a recent test with a "100% success rate" said the CAEP. Canada Canada's defense minister, Rob Nicholson, said in a statement Sunday that F-18s dropped 500pound laser-guided bombs on ISIS targets in the area of Fallujah, Iraq, in a four-hour mission. He did not provide further details, but said the strike demonstrates Canada's "firm resolve" to fight terrorism and stand with its allies against ISIS. Canada is following in Australia's footsteps and has closed its doors, effectively immediately, to people from the West African countries battling Ebola. The federal government said Friday it is suspending the issuance of visas for residents and nationals of countries with "widespread and persistent-intense transmission" of Ebola virus disease. As well, work on permanent residence applications for people from the affected countries is also being suspended.

The Arrow and The Song

I shot an arrow into the air,

Tamirin and Kimberly It fell to earth, I knew not where;

For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It's the Law!

by Brittany Skiens

In the state of Minnesota, It is illegal to stand around any building without a good

reason to be there. This law came to order because many people would stand

around and rob pedestrians and hurt innocent bystanders.

We all have herd about Cadillac well this week's car is a Cadillac Deville 1970. Here are some good facts about this classic car.:

The bright metal headlamp surrounds were met with more body color paint for a more refined look. Narrow vertical "vee" taillights were seen again.

Exterior distinction for the DeVille were the tiffany-like DeVille scripts above the rear end of the belt molding and the use of long rectangular backup light lenses set into the lower bumper as opposed to the smaller square lenses used on the Calais.

1970 would be the last model year for pillared sedans until hardtops were permanently dropped in 1977. It was also the last year the DeVille ever offered the convertible body style.

DeVille's accounted for 76% of Cadillac sales in 1970 ? never again would Cadillac sales be dominated to such a degree by a single model.

All About Aquariums-- by Kandice Crawford

Bearded Dragon :

The tank has to well-ventilated and at least a 40-gallon glass terrarium. You must have a

basking area close to the

heat source and a wood or rock hiding places in the cool area of the tank. Bearded Dragons will drink from a shallow dish. You must

mist your pet every other day. Make the tank like a desert (warm and dry environment). Never handle her/him by the tail (it could break

off). Also, give your Bearded Dragon 3-4 days to adjust to its new home. You will have to do a little more research to see if a Bearded

Dragon is right for you. Bearded Dragons live about 10 years. They originally come from the desert. They are gentle by nature and will

adapt to enjoy interacting with their handlers. Their diet consists mostly of live crickets and some vegetables.
