the worlds second largest emperor penguin colony has disappeared - will goodell
https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/25/weather/penguins-antarctic-halley-scn-scli-intl/index.html
the worlds second largest emperor penguin colony has disappeared this past week, leaving many to suspect it is a result of climate change. researchers from the british antarctic survey revealed that thousands of emperor penguin chicks drowned when a large iceberg was destroyed by storms in 2016. since this large drop in their population, emperor penguins at the halley bay colony have failed to raise chicks for the last three years, leaving the majority of the colony vanished. emperor penguins need stable sea ice to raise their chicks, from when they are first born to when they are able to walk and swim. scientists say this mass decrease in population is in part due to winter storms and also climate change, which has caused an increase in habitat destruction in the arctic.

As the police investigation is still ongoing, not much information has been released, so this article is meant mainly to inform its readers of what is known rather than state any specific bias. This story relates to the kidnapping of the 4-year-old Maleah Davis in North Houston, who was been missing for three weeks as of now. Unfortunately, Meleah still hasn't been found. Kidnappings are terrible crimes that cannot be justified and the fact that they are as common as this is disgusting and deeply troubling.

Lily Philips- New Addition to SAT
College Board has recently announced a change to the SAT test. They are now including a section to reflect on the test taker’s background, including neighborhood, household income, etc. The answers will result in a number ratings which will also be sent to colleges that tell about the “challenges they have overcome in life.” All of the questions will not include anything about race or ethnicity; however, they believe this will still help to diversify college campuses.
This article was written by Anemona Hartocollis and Amy Harmon which was published in The New York Times on May 17, 2019. The audience of the article are the high school students who are preparing for the SAT test that they take in their Junior year of high school. This informs the teens of the latest addition to the test so they know about what to expect and why it was put in place. I believe this is a good idea to balance out the backgrounds people come from and give the people without the opportunity the ability to succeed at universities. This reminds me of the Little Rock Nine in 1957 who were 9 African American who attended Little Rock Central High School after public school segregation was ruled unconstitutional. This was the process where integration of schools started which was a very positive movement for African American civil rights.

No More Facial Recognition
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to ban the use of facial recognition by city agencies.San Francisco’s ban covers government agencies, including the city police and county sheriff’s department.Facial-recognition technology has been used by law enforcement to spot fraud and identify suspects, but critics say that recent advances in AI have transformed the technology into a dangerous tool that enables real-time surveillance. In San Francisco, the police department says it doesn’t currently use facial recognition, although it tested the technology on booking photos between 2013 and 2017. -Khai

Although by far the most talked about story of the week by far was the trend towards the criminalization of abortion, most notably Alabama, I elected for a story a little closer to home, taking place in Dallas. Transgender people, particularly trans women of color are at a far higher rate of violence than their cisgender peers. In relation to that, a trans woman in Dallas a few months ago was the victim of a brutal assault. A few days ago she was found dead. Police have said they believe the two incidents to be unrelated although the perpetrator of the previous attack has been released from jail. This attack is sickeningly familiar to me, something I've been forced to come to expect from the world in which we live. This reminds me of about a million other incidents nearly identical to this one. Given the topic of my review project, I am well acquainted with this. For just one example, consider the fate of Venus, depicted in the documentary Paris is Burning. She was a trans woman of color and strangled, likely by a client.
