9. "UC Berkeley students file lawsuit against Google alleging illegal scanning of emails" Summary and My Opinion

Summary:

Four UC Berkeley students and alumni filed a lawsuit against Google saying that their emails were intercepted, read and scanned for advertising purposes without their permission. This violates the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and while Google has not released any information that verifies that they scanned the emails, but "Ray Gallo of Gallo, LLP, who is filing the lawsuit on behalf of UC Berkeley students and alumni, and the plaintiffs believe that a 2014 post by Google acknowledging that Apps for Education emails had been scanned prove it." Mr. Gallo states that the claims could be worth $10,000 per person for damages." Mr. Gallo does not seem to think that there will be an end between Google and lawsuits being filed against them, because as more people find out about the allegations of Google's "data mining" he expects to file more cases against Google. 

My Opinion:

I agree with one of the plaintiffs Gillula when he said that in order to participate in college you have to give up some your privacy to even be able to turn in homework and assignments. This is a scary thought, because I do not think that Google will stop interceding its user's emails and scanning its collection of online tools and services that they provide despite the fact that lawsuits have been filed against them. I think that schools and colleges should reconsider using Google as a tool for the safety of staff, professors and students.

Water Cycle

Gather and display local weather information such as temperature, precipitation, clouds, etc. (DOK 3)
Instruments (wind vane, rain gauge, thermometers, anemometers, and barometers)
Cloud types (cirrus, stratus, cumulus)
Water cycle (evaporation, precipitation, condensation)

I     I. Evaporation 
          Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or       the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or         steam leaves the body of waters and goes into the air.

           A. Bodies of Water

                1. Oceans

                2. Rivers

                3. Lakes

           B. Ground Water

      II. Condensation

           Condensation is the process where water vapor in the air is        ... changed into liquid water. Condensation is crucial to the water    ... cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.

             A. Water Vapor

                  1. Dew

                       The water droplets formed by condensation of water    ..............  vapor on an object with a relatively cold surface.

                  2. Clouds

            B. Water

     III. Precipitation

           When there is so much water that it condensed in the air and    ... cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls .... back to the earth in different forms.

            A. Snow

                 1.  Sleet

                 2. Hail

            B. Rain

     IV. Collection

           When water falls back to earth as precipitation, it may fall back   ......in the oceans, lakes or rivers or it may end up on land and soak ......into the soil.

             A. Bodies of Water

             B. Ground Water

                  1. Springs

                  2. Wells

     V. Transpiration

           Transpiration is  evaporation of water from plant leaves.

           Moisture is carried through plants from the roots to the      ....underside of leaves, where it changes to a vapor and is released   .....into the atmosphere.

            A. Leaves

                 1. Flowers

                 2. Trees

            B. Roots
