                                                                          It seems to have been a bad day for anyone who has invested. With the recent hit that the Dow Jones has taken many are pulling their money out and finding a safe haven for it. The Dow is said to have dropped 450 points today; which is the biggest hit it has taken in the last couple of years. It has been several weeks of up and down with the Dow Jones with their numbers dropping and picking back up. "Investors took their money and went to bonds which put a yield on the 10 year treasury and pushed it below 2 percent, which is the lowest is has been in years" stated by CBS. The stock plunged at the open of the market. It is going to be a very hard month for the DOW JONES.                                                                        The market dropped 299 points earlier this afternoon then it proceeded to decline and dropped down an approximate 460 points.

                                                            With the Ebola virus spreading through Africa can it affect the country in a serious financial way?  The world bank has said that with this epidemic and the rate that it is spreading it continues to other countries in Africa it can become a financial burden. With countries such as Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone affected it will be more costly if reached into West Africa.                                                          The World Bank is stating that by next year the Ebola virus could cost Africa 32.6 million if it is not contained now. The CDC stated last month that if the virus is not contained now it can affect up to 1.4 million people in Sierra Leone and Liberia by January of next year.

                                                                It was said that two provisions passed by Republicans Controlled State Legislature were blocked. One was supposed to end same day voter registration during the early periods, the other was to prevent that votes outside of voter's precent from being counted. The state has said that the decision will be appealed in the U.S Supreme Court. This was pointed out by the NAACP last year that these laws that they were trying to put into play, were intended to restrict the voting among people of color, students and the elders.  When this was being argued one asked "why does the state of North Carolina does not want people to vote". There are still ways being implemented to prevent a lot of voters from voting. They have cut the number of early voting days to just 10 also they are letting the poll offices decide if they should stay open late to accommodate citizens that get off of work late.   Besid

                                                                               Music has and will always be an influential part of our lives. People always use music as a form of escape, drown out, release, meditation etc,. Music is life as we may know it. The mere beat to certain songs gets us moving and  grooving. Bodies react to beats naturally; where it is a sway, bop or nod of the head, tapping of the fingers so, on and so fourth. People know beats when they hear them and as it continues to play it can at times take over your body and mind. The fact that music will always be around should be embraced.
