World War 2 by Alysha McKenzie
Comments for Glogster:
History Teacher: You did well with your project . You included key people and all but do not forget that there were other countries involved . Also , i love the American Flag background . It emphasizes American History and was very creative .
Parabola
Math Teacher Nils : Your glogster was creative and incentive but , could have been more interesting . Parabolas are all about the numkbers , and not the object created .One of the most beautiful things about numbers is their lack of finality. They are infinite which means that our exploration of them will take an infinitely long amount of time. It means that right when we think we've discovered all that we can about numbers, there will be something more to discover. We'll realize that if we extend super-exponents to their logical extensions we'll have super-duper-exponents, and super-duper exponents with imaginary numbers operate through a pattern undeniably awesome. Math is not bound by our boring reality. It exists in a fantasy world that can't be hijacked by our petty desires for usefulness and reason. It is an exploration of pure objectivity that cannot ever end and has no final.

KONY , WHERE IS HE ?
OBO, Central African Republic
(AP) — Deep in the jungle, this small, remote Central African village
is farther from the coast than any point on the continent. It's also
where three international armies have zeroed in on Joseph Kony, one of
the world's most wanted warlords.
Obo was the first place in the
Central African Republic that Kony's Lord's Resistance Army attacked in
2008; today, it's one of four forward operating locations where U.S.
special forces have paired up with local troops and Ugandan soldiers to
seek out Kony, who is believed likely to be hiding out in the rugged
terrain northwest of the town. For seven years he has been wanted by the
International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity
after his forces cut a wide and bloody swath across several central
African nations with rapes, abductions and killings.
Part of the LRA's success in
eluding government forces has been its ability to slip back and forth
over the porous borders of the Central African Republic, South Sudan and
Congo. But since late last year, U.S. forces have been providing
intelligence, looking at patterns of movement, and setting up better
communications to link the countries' forces together so that they can
better track the guerrilla force.
Sent by President Barack Obama at
the end of 2011, the 100 U.S. soldiers are split up about 15 to 30 per
base, bringing in American technology and experience to assist local
forces.
Exact details on specific improvements that the American forces have
brought to the table, however, are classified, to avoid giving Kony the
ability to take countermeasures."We don't necessarily go and track into the bush but what we do is we incorporate our experiences with the partner nation's experiences to come up with the right solution to go out and hopefully solve this LRA problem," said Gregory, a 29-year-old captain from Texas, who would only give his first name in accordance with security guidelines.
The U.S. troops also receive reports from local hunters and others that they help analyze together with surveillance information.
"It's very easy to blame everything on the LRA but there are other players in the region — there are poachers, there are bandits, and we have to sift that to filter what is LRA," he said.
Central African Republic soldiers largely conduct security operations in and around the town, while Ugandan soldiers, who have been in the country since 2010, conduct longer-range patrols looking for Kony and his men.
Since January, they have killed seven LRA fighters in the area and captured one, while rescuing 15 people abducted by the group including five children, said their local commander, Col. Joseph Balikuddembe.
There has been no contact with the LRA since March, however, according to Ugandan Army spokesman Col. Felix Kulayigye, who said the LRA now is in survival mode. The LRA is thought to today number only around 150 to 300 die-hard fighters.
"They're hiding," he said. "They are not capable of doing."
But with Kony still around, there are wide ranging-fears that the LRA will be able to rebuild.
"There's periods of time when the LRA will lie low when the military pressure is too high or where there's a threat that they don't understand such as the American intervention," said Matthew Brubacher, a political affairs officer with the U.N.'s mission in Congo, who was also an International Criminal Court investigator on the Kony case for five years.

"But then after a while after they figure it out, if they have the opportunity they'll try to come back, so it's just a matter of time they'll try to come back. Kony always said 'if I have only 10 men, I can always rebuild the force."
Right now, expectations are high
of the Americans serving in Obo and Djema in the Central African
Republic, as well as those in Dungu in Congo and Nzara in South Sudan.
"For all the communities, the
U.S. bases in Obo and Djema means one, Kony will be arrested, and two,
there will be a lot of money for programs, humanitarian programs," said
Sabine Jiekak of the Italian humanitarian aid agency Coopi.
Central African Republic Deputy Defense Minister Jean Francis Bozize
said it's been difficult for the poor country's small military to deal
with Kony in the southeast as well as several other militant groups in
the north.An African Union mission expected to begin later this year should help expedite the cross-border pursuit of the LRA.
In the meantime, Bozize said the American forces could make a big difference.
"The involvement of U.S. forces with their assistance in providing information and intelligence will allow for all forces to operate from the same base-level of intelligence ... (giving) better coordination with better results," he told reporters in the capital, Bangui.
But the military mission is not a simple one.
How do you find small groups of seasoned fighters hidden deep in the jungle, who have eluded authorities for decades? How do you prevent brutal reprisal attacks on civilians? How can you bring together several countries' troops to cooperate on cross-border pursuits?
The LRA usually attacks late at night, then melts back away into the jungle. Seasoned bush fighters, they employ many techniques to elude pursuit — walking along rocks or along streams to avoid leaving tracks, for example, and sometimes even marching backward to fool trackers.
Kony has reportedly stopped using radios and satellite phones for communications, instead relying on an elaborate system involving runners and multiple rendezvous points.
Key to his capture is good information from local residents — which they will only give when they can be sure of their own safety, according to American commanders.
"The population have to believe that they are secure and once they believe they are secure from the LRA, you start to deny the LRA the opportunity to attack villages to get people, to get food, to get medicine," Gen. Carter Ham, the head of U.S. Africa Command, told reporters in Stuttgart.
That may take some time in Obo, a town of some 15,000 where around 3,500 people have sought refuge to escape LRA violence in the area.
Rural farmers and others stick to within 5 kilometers (3 miles) of the village for safety — originally the area that Central African Republic soldiers were able to patrol but now more a rule of thumb followed by the locals.
They've started recently to venture out farther, emboldened by the presence of the Ugandans and Americans to help the government forces, but are too nervous to stray too wide from the safety of the village.
"They're still scared, they're still wary because Joseph Kony is still out there," said Mayor Joseph Kpioyssrani, looking at the jungle behind him.
Kony's LRA sprung up in 1986 as a rebel movement among the Acholi people in northern Uganda to fight against the Kampala government, but has for decades been leading its violent campaign without any clear political ideology.
Emmanuel Daba, 33, was one of 76
people abducted in the first LRA raid on Obo in 2008 and forced to fight
for the guerrillas for two years before managing to escape.
"We were trained to kill — forced
to kill — otherwise we'd be killed ourselves," he said outside the tiny
radio station where he now works broadcasting messages to try and
encourage others with the LRA to defect or escape. "I still have dreams —
nightmares."
This year, the U.S. Defense Department is committing $35 million to efforts to find and fight Kony.
Since 2008, the U.S. State Department has sent some $50 million in
funds to support the Ugandan military's logistics and non-lethal
operations against the LRA, including contracting two transport
helicopters to ferry troops and supplies. Another $500 million has been
given over that time for the broader northern Uganda recovery effort in
the aftermath of Kony's presence there.In Stuttgart, Ham keeps a "Kony 2012" poster hanging on his office door.
Though he isn't committing to the goal of the viral YouTube campaign to see Kony neutralized by the end of the year, he does define success as either capturing or killing the LRA leader eventually.
"I'm confident that the mission
will be successful, but I can't give you a timeline when that's going to
occur..." Ham said. "It is one of those organizations that if you
remove the senior leader and the small number of those who surround him,
I believe this is one of those organizations that will not be able to
regenerate."
