A suicide car bomb hit a bus convoy of off-duty Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai Peninsula on Wednesday, killing 11 and wounding 37, in the latest of a stepped-up wave of attacks blamed on Islamic militants sympathetic to ousted President Mohammed Morsi.The mounting insurgency in the restive Sinai has sent security and intelligence agencies scrambling for new tactics to thwart future attacks and protect themselves amid signs of the violence creeping into other parts of Egypt, particularly the capital, Cairo.Among the attacks that have raised alarm was the killing of a senior security officer who monitors Islamist groups, gunned down in his Cairo neighborhood Sunday night. At dawn Wednesday, assailants threw a grenade at a police checkpoint in a northern Cairo suburb, injuring four policemen, according to security officials said. The assailants fled the scene, said the officials.

The fair has come to town for the next week or so, and it's the talk of the town. Everyone is so excited about the ride, the greasy food, and all the music and shows that come with it. I'm most excited about the rodea, and corn dogs, and caramel apples. That's probably my favorite part of the whole experience. They also have a whole little strip of things that are being sold. For example, handmade crafts like dream catchers, or carver wood. Maybe t-shirts that have different logos, there are many things up for advertisement. The fair is something that only comes around once

There are many known animals that migrate throughout seasons. Like birds, they always fly down south for the winter time because of the drastic climate change up north. Also some bears, they stock up on food and rest for the winter, then come spring they're at it again. But their are some animals that you wouldn't think migrated. For example, monarch butterflies. Over 20,000 Monarch butterflies travel to the warm state of California during the winter season. Also in July and August wild zebras migrate though the Sengria River for the "Great Migration." These animals are animals that i never thought of as the "migrating" type.
