Pray For What: Hundreds of Unspoken Terrorist Attacks Since November
Since the fateful Paris terrorist attacks in November, hundreds of other attacks have occurred around the world with ISIS and Al-Qaeda taking the brunt of the blame, willingly so. However, many of the attacks since November have flown under the radar. Bluntly put, most of the attacks that have avoided media headlines occurred everywhere besides the west.

Finding Gilles – How A Comment Box Restored My Faith In Humanity
A photo representing a moment before a storm sings the warmest inspiration. Such inspiration brings people together. I’m cynical, however. I wouldn’t believe such mutual inspiration could be found on social networks, much less a photo. Not on Facebook, Instagram nor Twitter. Often, we’re brought together to show support through likes, and prayers.

Shortly after the coordinated attacks had transpired in Paris, Facebook activated its "Safety Check" feature. Facebook reserves this feature for natural disaster settings, so this was the first time it was used for a terrorist attack. The feature uses geolocation to find and identify users currently living or traveling in an area affected by a disaster.

#Hashtags For World Change
During the Civil Rights Movement, courageous combatants of social injustice tweeted “Equal opportunity for all African Americans” to show their backing of a real and persuasive structure shift in America. It could be said that it was thanks to this platform alone that the Civil Rights Movement was able to gain widespread momentum and effectively dismantle segregation of schools and neighborhoods all over the country.

Police Brutality: A Plague in Need of New Remedy
The times have long since passed where safety and comfort went hand in hand when it came to the man in the blue suit. Truth is, police brutality has always existed, and nothing we’ve done up until this point has eliminated the problem. In the U.S., the frequency of police brutality has become one hell of an argument, and thanks to today’s technology, we can snapshot and record police abuse in-action. Novelties as such helped us notice this plague.

How Would One Die in Space without a Spacesuit?
We all wonder what would happen if one went into space without a spacesuit, and the ultimate question has always been - how would one die? In the film 2001: a Space Odyssey, the protagonist, Dave, shot out of an airlock without a helmet and drifted off into space. NASA's Henry Spencer went on to explain what may have happened to the character:

NASA Concept Says Screw Mars, Let's Go Live Like Gods on Venus [VIDEO]
Despite the fact that planet Venus is so hot that a human would melt in it, NASA believes that mankind will be able to live in cloud cities in Venus' atmosphere. Although the planet resembles something out of Dante's Inferno, it has potential for stability since there is no air on the planet. This would make it easier to create floating cloud cities 50km above the planet's surface.

An eco-friendly stove that charges your phone
A "green" alternative to the old-school camping stove, the BioLite CampStove's designed to burn just a handful of twigs/kindling rather than chemical fuel canisters. And apart from being useful to stay warm/toast a crapton of s'mores, it has built-in, USB port-equipped thermoelectric module that converts heat into energy, meaning you can use it to charge up your phone in a pinch.

About

Osvaldo Nunez

I am a journalist in New York City currently writing trendy news for IBT Media's Design & Trend site. My experience there has gotten me well-acquainted with the AP Style of Journalism. I have written more than 1000 articles for the site.

In 2013, I was an editorial intern at Thrillist Media Group. I wrote and pitched 100-150 word pieces on apparel and technology. I essentially learned how to write good copy, great headlines, and how to effectively condense heavy information into 100-150 words.

This experience led to the creation of my own self-growth blog, Live Lesium, where I implemented my gains from Thrillist, resulting in a successful first month where I brought in more than 7000 unique visitors and many shares on Facebook and Twitter.

I was involved with a non-profit organization called Herstory Writer’s Workshop, which stood against domestic violence towards women. One of my works, “Page One Moment”, was chosen to be read at its yearly gala at Stony Brook University.

I am currently a senior English major at SUNY College at Old Westbury. I also studied Journalism in London for a semester. Fluent in Spanish.
