Deep below the surface of the earth, 33 men are trapped in a Chilean copper mine. The men have been trapped since august 5 when a landslide blocked their exit back to the earth’s surface. There are plans to build an escape tunnel for the men, but the effort will be time consuming.

The men have been reached by a small hole in which a camera has been lowered. They are also being fed through the hole and ventilation is being provided. Family members have high hopes for their rescue. It will be nice to see the miners return to their loved ones.

The funny thing about life is that you never know what will be thrown at you. Just when you think you know what to expect, life throws in a twist. This happened recently when I found out that someone I care about very much was having an addiction problem. I must say that it came as quite a shock and I was very surprised when I heard the news. After a short period of shock, I decided that I had to help.

Once it is determined that someone has a problem, the next step is to figure out the best way to help them. In this case, we thought that addition treatment would be the best solution. I went online in order to research the problem. I found that there is a lot of information on the subject of addiction.

After discussing the situation with everyone involved, we decided that entering my friend into one of the many drug rehabilitation programs would be the solution for us. We knew that professional help was needed and wanted to get that help right away. I am glad that the problem has been addressed and the long process of healing can begin. We look forward to a bright future for my friend and are glad we are a part of it.

There has been a lot of debate lately over the constitution of the United States. Some people want to make changes to it and some want it left alone. I am of the opinion that the constitution is a living document. I believe that if the people vote to change it, it should be changed.

Not only should the people be able to add amendments, they should be able to strike down the ones we don’t like. Some worry that this will harm our country, but I believe it will only strengthen it!

It seems to me that there are two major portions to our lives. School is one and work is the other. Getting through school can be tough and this is happening to my daughter as she is struggling with one subject in particular. While she excels in reading and writing, math seems to give her a lot of trouble. We have been working to fix the problem by using the internet as a source of help.

One method we have been developing is utilizing online tutors. They can teach things that are as simple as How to divide. By taking advantage of a service like this, my daughter has become more familiar with math and is doing much better in that subject. Online tutors are available at her schedule and the cost is very low for the service she receives.

Now that my daughter has become more proficient in math, she is starting to move ahead of her class. She has been working on Pre Algebra and has even successfully done some of the simpler Algebra equations. I am proud of the work she has put in and expect her to continue to gain confidence in this difficult subject. It’s good to know that she will be able to rely on this type of service as she finishes her scholastic career.
