Current Event Experience 2.1

1) The little known perk that has people "raising eyebrows" in Austin is, the fact that council members are getting free passes to a well known music festival called ACL. Ann Kitchen and Ora Houston just kept there passes because they felt nothing is wrong with that fact they were getting them. They were given to all the council members and the mayor of Austin to observe the festival and make sure everything goes okay. The Parks and Recreation defends there act by saying it was for the job, and they need to observe.

2) The state of Oklahoma has implemented a stay of all death-penalty executions because they have
bought a drug that is no longer available in the US. and its only to be told by the federal food and drug administration that getting the drug is legal. Some of the other states are dealing with the issue by improvising a solution by trading drugs used in lethal injections. Midazolam is a drug that is used before surgery to make you feel sleepy and relaxed. This is the heart of the story because this is one of the drugs they use.

3)  Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu barred his ministers from visiting a contested Old City   holy site and ordered all all police to stop any of his men who tried. He did this because it has two major Islamic shrines including the prohibition on non-Muslim player. Everyone responded to this by thinking that the only reasons he is doing this is because he is trying to divide the compound. Muhanad Halabi is a law student at Al Quds University who was shot dead bu security forces after he stabbed two Orthodox men in the Old city and injured one of their wives and toddler son.

4) Svetlana Alexievich won the Nobel Prize for literature yesterday. She is most famous for the works of  giving a voice to women and men who lived through major events like the Soviet union and others.

She states," The greater part of my path has been traveled, but much more work remains ahead of me, and many new turns. I cannot let myself slide." about her future.

5)  Professor Emeritus Daniel S. Hamermesh mad a career decision to, not return to campus because the new carry law has made him fear for his life. The Statesman reporter found out about this decision because this information was put in the student news paper.
