Current Events 5.2
1) A UT student was killed on campus last week and it appears that she was sexually assaulted and was a victim of strangulation. Forensic examiners collected DNA samples from her body to try to find more evidence against her killer. The sources declined to be identified because of the ongoing investigation and because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the case. They probably said something because they want to speed up the process of the investigation and make sure they get their story straight. It has gotten a lot of media attention because it happened in Austin.
2) Technology employers are offering women lower salaries than men for the same jobs at the same company, women salaries are 3 percent less than those of men. Hired.com helps connect tech employers with job seekers through a process that involves reviewing and accepting job offers and has inside points to study the gender wage gap. Causes of the wage gap is that women are setting their salary expectations lower than men do. It didn't surprise me that the technology companies are making these hires. It did seem to be a bit over done with the promoting of Hired.com but it makes sense considering thats where all their information is coming from.
3) He signed an executive order altering the equal employment policy for state workers to cover discrimination claims related to sexual orientation and gender identity. ACLU immediately criticized McCrory's order they said that "Gov. McCrory's actions today are a poor effort to save face after his sweeping attacks on the LGBT community..." PayPal, the National Basketball Association, Deutsche Bank and Bruce Springsteen have all protested against this law.
4) The number of child suicide bombers used by the Islamic extremists of Boko Haram has increased from 4 to 44 with a consequence in communities that now see children as threats. Terrorism experts say that the reason they reject the term suicide attacks when referring to these bombings because the children are often forced to carry them out or were not of age to understand the consequence of their actions. People will some times join do to a financial motivation.
5) Hawking Joins Bid To Explore Deep Space - Yuri Milner said he is going to spend 100 million dollars on a futuristic plan to explore far outside our soar system. The eventual goal is sending hundreds or thousands of tiny spacecrafts that are going to weigh far less than an ounce. It will be expected to go 2,000 times as far as any spacecraft has gone and it will fly at about one-fifth the speed of light. They could reach Alpha Centauri in 20 years and send observations and send the results back to Earth, and they may be able to spot new planets or they may even discover new life. I liked this announcement a lot because it is very exciting for learning new things about our solar system and I just really love space.
