Netflix 13 Reasons Why Season 2 releases a PSA Suicide prevention is it good enough?
The first season of Netflix 13 Reasons Why. Promos were/are appealing, unique and intriguing. I’d even say sexy. Netflix 13 Reasons Why tells a story of Hannah Baker who commits suicide but before her tragic end she buys a pack of blank cassette tapes. Records her truth of 13 reasons why to her 13 friends as to her reasons she commits suicide . The dialuge. The music, the graphics. And the images of the old school audio tapes. Draws you in.
Yeah this Netflix series glamorizes suicide. Before It’s release . The excitement around the show. Critic reviews. And the social media commentary. Was very positive. With a few keyboard gangsta trolls. Putting their asshole opinion in the mix. Everyone has one right? There was the forgotten, the very impressionable. Vulnerable suicidal pre teen. That Teen and that young 20 something college kid. We live in a social media FB LIVE Snapchat IG world. Of monkey see monkey do. Before and after the Netflix premier. Suicide prevention experts. Raised concern lead to a suicide-contagion effect and a spate of copycat attempts. Research published at the end of July 2017 argued that those concerns may have been founded. Google queries about suicide rose by almost 20 percent in 19 days after the show came out, representing between 900,000 and 1.5 million more searches than usual regarding the subject. Reading these statistics is just terrifying. Yes there have been some copycat suicides after these vonrable impressionable young viewers watched Netflix 13 Reasons Why. Two Suicides really got me. Was the two californa teens Bella Herndon and Percila Chi who committed suicide just hours of it’s premiere. In their parents grief they want Netflix to stop airing season 1 and cancel plans of season 2.
One of the parents saying that the Netflix show gives a blueprint for suicide. They said that the Netflix show was a blueprint for suicide. But is it really a blueprint for suicide for EVERY CHILD OR ADULT? Or is it for the vonarable suicidal teen?
That vonarable pre teen. That vonrable young adult. Or that vonrable older adult. Who are unable to distinguish right from wrong. We can’t just blame Netflix programming. On a preisting problem. If WE know of a loved one who is suicidal and has suicidal thoughts. We have to be diligent and know who? what? where? Who are their friends and who are their parents and other family members And WHAT they are hearing on the radio and seeing on Television and streaming services Like Netflix.

Avengers: Infinity War Movie Review(SPOILERS)
In all honesty, I cannot talk about this movie without bringing spoilers into it. This past weekend I got the privilege to see Avengers: Infinity War not once but twice! I can honestly say that it was blown away both times I saw it.
For those that don’t know and don’t care about spoilers, Avengers: Infinity is the culmination and mega cross over of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from Iron Man until now. In this new movie everyone must come together and stop the powerful Titan Thanos from getting all six infinity stones and wreaking havoc across the universe.
Let me just start off by saying that Josh Brolin, killed it as Thanos. That man was on level 100 from start to finish in his movie. In a sense this is essentially Thanos’ movie. He showed his ruthlessness by not only killing half of the Asguardians but killing Heimdall and Loki as well and making Thor watch. That’s how you know he meant business in this movie.
All of our here’s from Doctor Strange to Iron Man to Captain America to Black Panther all did great in this movie as well and stole the spotlight in their scenes.
The tone of this movie was very well balanced as the shift from humor to dark to sadness felt natural and not forced and it matched with whatever character was in the scene.
Now let’s talk team ups and action sequences. The action scenes in this movie make the fights in Civil War look tame. Every battle was top notch from Doctor Strange using his magic to counter against Ebony Maw’s telekinetic attacks, Team Iron Man using their strategic minds to get the edge on Thanos in Titan to the straight up brawl fest in Wakanda, there was no talk just action through out.
But as stated this movie did bring about several sad scenes and unexpected deaths. As stated before, while Loki’s death was somewhat predictable it was still sad nonetheless as with Thanos killing Gamora to get the soul stone. The one with the worst luck might have been Vision in my opinion. Being killed by the one you love only for Thanos to reverse time and do it himself is down right horrible. Also with Thanos getting all six stone and snapping his fingers, his plan was complete. All those who died with his snap were Bucky Barnes, Black Panther, Falcon, Starlord, Drax, Mantis, Scarlett Witch, Groot, Spider-Man, Maria Hill, and Nick Fury.
Things look extremely bleak going into Avengers 4 next year but from what it looks like, this will be the last hoorah for the original MCU Avengers before the new heroes take over. Let’s see how hey manage tofix the mess that Thanos has caused.
Avengers: Infinity War, if you haven’t seen it, I suggest you go as soon as possible, those 10 years were worth the wait for this movie. It’s a definite solid 10 out of 10 for me, let me know what you think!
Boy, 10, found dead inside dryer of Texas apartment complex; mom speaks out
The Harris County Medical Examiner’s office released information about the cause of death for the 10-year-old boy who was found dead in a dryer in east Houston.
The autopsy report revealed that the boy died from electrocution.
His mother identified the victim as Fernando Hernandez Jr., a third grade student at Harris Elementary School.
Hernandez’s mother said he was playing with his 9-year-old brother.
“I don’t know what happened,” said his mother, Christina Rodriguez. “I was just inside cooking and my little son came inside and told me my son was dead on the floor.”
In eyewitness video, paramedics could be seen performing CPR on the child.
“My boyfriend picked him up and brought him into the house,” Rodriguez explained. “He was purple and his eyes were open and he was gone.”
The boy was rushed to the hospital where he later died.
Woman uses YouTube, shoelaces and pocketknife to deliver her own baby
LA VERGNE, Tenn. — A La Vergne woman delivered her own baby under unbelievable circumstances while on a layover in Istanbul. Her incredible story has gone viral.
Tia Freeman was flying from Tennessee to Turkey when she started feeling sick.
“I was like, I’ll just sleep it off, sleep cures everything,” Freeman said. “So I go to sleep and wake up as we’re landing and I notice my cramps have gotten astronomically worse.”
Freeman barely made it to her Istanbul hotel before realizing her stomach cramps were actually contractions. At just 22-years-old, Tia realized she was alone in a foreign country, and had no idea how to reach a hospital. So instead, she turned to the internet.
“I literally was on YouTube typing like how to deliver a baby,” Freeman said. “Scroll, scroll, scroll and yup, that video looks like they know what they’re talking about.”
Freeman said she pushed about five times when her baby boy decided to enter the world. Then, a wiki-how article walked her through how to cut her son’s umbilical cord. Instead of using clamps and a surgical knife, she used shoelaces and a pocketknife that she sterilized in an electronic tea kettle.
Tia and her son slept through the night, then took a cab back to the airport the next morning.
“Immediately, security knew something was up,” she said. “They called in a doctor and nurse and I called the U.S. consulate.”
It took several hours to sort out the details, but Tia’s child was issued an emergency passport and allowed to fly home when he was 2 weeks old.
Tia tweeted the ordeal and her story has now been shared internationally. Both she and baby Xavier are healthy.

7 Children Killed, 12 Injured in Knife Attack at Middle School in China
At least seven students were killed and 12 injured in a knife attack at a middle school in Shaanxi province, China, on Friday evening, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency.
A male suspect was arrested by police and an investigation is ongoing, Xinhua reported, citing local government officials.
Knife attacks at schools in China are common. Last year, a man climbed over the wall of a kindergarten and attacked 11 students. None suffered life-threatening injuries.
In 2016, a man in the southern province of Hainan stabbed 10 children before killing himself, authorities said.
And another man killed three students at a school in 2014 before jumping off a building.
But perhaps the worst spate of stabbings occurred in 2010, which included a period of three consecutive days in which attackers targeted schools. China’s Ministry of Education responded to those events by ordering schools to beef up security and bar strangers from going on campuses.
China also began requiring people to register with the government when buying large knives.

Doctor allegedly threatened to slit employees’ throats and cut their heads off
A doctor in Georgia has been charged with making terroristic threats after she allegedly threated to “slit” her employees’ throats.
Marian Antoinette Patterson, a family practice doctor who’s worked in the Valdosta area for almost 30 years, allegedly shouted a slew of threats at her employees, WCTV reported.
Authorities reportedly responded to Patterson’s South Georgia practice on Feb. 21 after reports of a disturbance.
Patterson, according to authorities, told employees she would “slit their throats,” and even told one worker she was going to “cut her head off and roll it down the hallway,” and that she’d call the employee’s children to show them.
The doctor allegedly grabbed at least one employee and threw a catalog, reflex hammer and prescription bottles, along with trying to throw a large potted plant. Patterson also tossed water on two employees, according to the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Ashley Paulk called Patterson’s situation “unfortunate,” and blamed issues happening in her life for her actions.
Patterson’s medical license was temporarily suspended in March, according to Georgia Composite Medical Board records. WCTV reported the board mentioned the Feb. 21 incident in the suspension order and reportedly said it had received allegations that Patterson had been under the influence at the office several times.
Patterson has been charged with three counts of terroristic threats and false imprisonment, according to reports. She turned herself in last week and has since been released on bail.

Florida dad angered by ‘highly inappropriate’ question on daughter’s anatomy assignment
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Florida school is thanking a father for bringing a ‘highly inappropriate’ homework assignment to their attention.
Omar Austin demanded answers from Westside High School in Jacksonville after seeing his 11th-grade daughter’s homework for anatomy class, according to WTLV.
Austin posted a Facebook video of himself reading from the homework with the caption, “This needs to be seen. WTH is going on in our schools???”
One of the questions on the assignment read:
“Ursula was devastated when her boyfriend broke up with her after having sex. To get revenge, she had sex with his best friend the next day. Ursula had a beautiful baby girl 9 months later. Ursula has type O blood, her ex-boyfriend is type AB blood, and his best friend is type A blood. If her baby daddy is her ex-boyfriend, what could her baby’s possible blood type(s) NOT be?”
Austin said he thought it was a joke at first, telling WTLV that the it was a question better left for “reality TV and soap operas,” and lacked morality.
“The words ‘baby daddy’ and ‘baby mama’ being used, that’s foresight,” Austin told WTLV. “The fact that she’s having sex with one guy and to get revenge on this guy she has sex with his best friend the next day? I mean, that’s just not something that I want to teach any student.”
Austin said he doesn’t fault the school after the principal told him the assignment came from the school district, so now he is pushing for change from Duval County Public Schools.
School district officials said in a statement to WTLV that “the question was highly inappropriate and was not part of a district assessment.” Duval County Public Schools thanked Austin for speaking out and said they are conducting a full review of the situation to find out how a student could have received that worksheet.
Officials added that “appropriate and corrective action will be taken.”
126 pounds of meth found in semi carrying Starbucks products
CENTRALIA, Wash. — Officers have seized 126 pounds of methamphetamine from a semi that was hauling Starbucks products between California and Spokane, Wash., the Centralia Police Department said Friday.
The driver and passenger in the 1996 Freightliner tractor and refrigerated trailer began acting suspiciously during a traffic stop on Thursday, police said, prompting the officer to request a narcotics-sniffing K-9.
The dog alerted officers to the presence of drugs in the truck’s cab, police said, and a search of the sleeper berth revealed 40 bundles of meth, weighing a total of 126 pounds, hidden in a television box. Also found were 2.4 pounds of suspected heroin, several thousand Oxycodone pills and a few grams of cocaine, police said.
The driver of the truck, a 22-year-old man from Mexicali, Mexico; and his passenger, a 62-year-old man from Fontana, Calif.; were booked into the Lewis County Jail on drug charges. The truck had California license plates.
“No contraband was found in the trailer and none of the food product in the trailer was exposed or compromised,” police said in a news release, adding that the load was transferred to another truck and continued on its way.

Ben Carson Thinks Poor People Should Pay Higher Rent If They Want Government Help
Ben Carson is just mean and crewel! Those of you christians and great people who voted for Trump and his administration. How do you like your new President now ?
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson is proposing to increase rent for millions of low-income tenants in government-subsidized housing and impose stricter work requirements.
The plan, unveiled Wednesday, would raise rent to 35 percent of gross income for more than 2 million families now paying 30 percent of adjusted income for subsidized housing. It would also mean that the poorest households ― more than 700,000 of them ― could see monthly rental caps triple to $150 from $50, HUD said. Elderly and disabled tenants would be exempt from the increase.
In addition, Carson wants to give public housing agencies the ability to impose minimum work requirements, excluding the elderly and the disabled…..
