It might soon be harder for Europeans to visit the United States. On Tuesday, Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly said that rules allowing Europeans to travel to the U.S. without a visa should be reviewed over the concerns of potential terrorism. He stated that is necessary because ISIS fighters may try to exploit the U.S. visa waiver program.
I get it, people are afraid of the terrorist. They want to keep them as far away as possible, but that doesn't mean to punish all of Europe.These are normal people who just want to visit and have a nice time. Not everyone is a terrorist.

Trumps new problem: Americans arn' t shopping
President Trumps keeps pushing "buy American". He is planning to tout it again at a stop in Wisconsin on Tuesday. Not a lot of people are buying anything and he fears it could potentially hurt the economy.
I understand why he would think that, but i dont think he needs to interfear. People are going to buy when they want to buy. They just need to find something that people think is worth going on a spree for.

The End
In The Street Lawyer Micheal fights for the legal rights of the homeless people. He cares for them and starts to build relationships and understanding with some of them. The same way these people are in the cities. They want to help them. They understand these people on the street are still human and are able to get back on their feet. When they are able to help them they are able to feel joy and compassion. In a way helping the homeless is more human then what other people are doing day to day. Most people just walk to work and sit on their computer. Then they walk home eat and go to bed. repeat. They don't even pay attention to the men, women, and children starving on the side of the road. They are blank minded and robot like. Just stuck in their retinue. Still someone turns their head and uses the free will most people forget about and they notice these people. They feel for them and a spark lights inside of them that makes them want to help. They are drawn to shelters, soup kitchens, and for some to the streets just to help. Helping them for some is a way for giving back and for others a way to help a poor soul get their life back. How they feel at the end is life changing. Once they see what they go through it makes them want to help more. They get a front row seat to the horror movie that these people live. Then they see what people do about it. Like Micheal they get mad and torn and want people to stop everything they are doing to help. They fight and try to get people to help but no luck. Micheal tried helping this one lady named ruby who was trying to fight her drug addiction to get her son back. At first she wasn't doing so well and would kip her meetings at AA/NA but then she started wanting a change. She went to the meetings and over the weekends they would put her in a drug free zone in a hotel with lots of candy. She was so happy when the first night she didn't do any drugs. she came out and yelled I'm clean! then they kept putting her in there because is seemed to be working. Some would consider that a success. I don't. One or two nights isn't anythings. she can still go out there and do it again. It's when she is near it or just sitting alone by herself and doesn't crave it anymore. It's where she can go months almost years without craving it that he then call himself a success. Calling himself a success after a couple days is like washing the clothes you need to day ,but not the entire pile. He needs to finish what he started. I do predict though that he will. He will get her clean and get her a job. He will help her find an apartment and get her life back together. Then once she is stable he will get her kid back, but that wont be the last she hears from him. He will still be in her life and will walk acrossed the hall way to her apartment , that he got her in his complex to keep her close, and they will have their everyday donuts coffee and news. Only this time she is reading to him.

Algae as Jet Fuel
A Japanese firm finds many uses for Algae. one of those uses being jet fuel. The company is aiming to produce 33,000 gallons of algae jet fuel a year. they also are preparing to partner up with Japanese airline ANA. Oil that is chemically similar to kerosene can be extracted from the dried algaes powder. The algae at the moment will still need to be mixed with the original fuel and will only make a certain number of flights.
I think that this is really cool. being able to use such a natural substance that will most likely never run out is such a brilliant idea. Maybe after more research they can find a way to cut the original fuel all together. Even though they are only using half of the algaes fuel they still are cutting cost down a lot. Algae is providing us with a hopeful future and a newer fuel.

Street Lawyer blog 3
In the street lawyer Micheal is getting himself in some big trouble. He stole a file from his old office firm Drake and Sweeney,with intent to return it, and then goes through a series of events trying to keep it. Drake and Sweeney then takes big measures just to get it back. One of which is to harass Micheal and his friends. They send police to search his ex wives house, unknowing that he moved out, and stay there until he has to threaten to sue them. They sent his friends after him with wires, trying to get Micheal to admit he has the file. Then they send police to his new firm and have them search that place for the file. After all of this they then finally arrest him and stick him in a jail cell. Where Micheal gets mugged by his new cell mates. Now Micheal can not walk down the street without anyone whispering "Look! There is the lawyer that got thrown into jail". Finally they take him to court where they say he has two weeks to give back the file or they will take him all the way and most likely make him loose his law license and give him ten years in prison. During all of this he is meeting with a Homeless woman named Ruby. She goes to him trying to get her son back ,who refuses to see her until she is clean from drugs. Ruby comes in everyday and Micheal gets into a routine with her. First they walk in and she heads to their table. Then he hands her a coffee and a donut and they read the news together. Everyday Micheal ask if she got high and she would look down in shame and reply yes. While Micheal is trying to find her help he found out that she is not the only one. He learns that homeless people often turn to drugs in their time of need ,because it turns off their emotions and takes them away from their reality. He stays hopeful for Ruby though and tries everything he can to try and make her clean from drugs and get her off the streets.

Ikea India gives employees 6 months of paid Parental leave.
Ikea is bringing Swedish-style working conditions to India, the furniture giant has announced that all its employees in India,women and men, will be entitled to 26 weeks of paid parental leave. This policy will also apply to employees who have children through surrogacy or adoption.mothers will also be able to work half days for 16 weeks after there return.Although workers in Ikea's home country of Sweden still have it better than other companies. The companies there are required to offer up to 16 MONTHS of paid parental leave, of which three months are reserved for fathers.
I think this is great because now the parents no longer have to be less productive because they are tired and have a child. Also Ikea has less parents leaving the company because of children. It is great that they are becoming more family friendly and adjusting to their workers life styles.

Mid life crisist or Nah
Recently Michael and Claire finalized there divorce. At the end of Chapter six is was done and over with. they split everything they had between each other and went on their way. Michael then states on his way to his new home that they both lost in this situation. I disagree ,because they both can get a lot of good out of this. One of the main things that they can get out of this is Physiological help. They will no longer have to keep there guard up on hopes of winning the ice cold war. Michael now can possibly feel loved and cared about when something happens. unlike when he almost got killed by Mister in the beginning of the book. Claire might find someone who doesn't neglect her for work. Unlike Michael she might find someone who cares about her more than making partner. They won't only benefit physiologically, but also career wise. This gives Michael the chance to find himself and fix the emotional damage that happened to him in the office with Mister. Claire can continue to rise to the top until she finds out what she really wants. In the recent chapters Michaels actions become and little dramatic and illegal. He starts stealing files from his old firm and lying and treating to sue the police. I do not believe that these actions are justified at all. I understand that finding what actually happened in this case may help Michael find closer ,but he does not need to go to the point of stealing and sneaking around the law. Which is kind of ironic considering he is fighting for the law. I believe that Michael could have gotten his closers without be coming a criminal to get there. Since Michael is not being careful with his moves he will get caught. leaving finger prints everywhere and not thinking about what he is telling people is not helping. He is almost just yelling to the world that he committed the crime and it will come and bite him in the butt.
