Christmas
Christmas is the religious day that is celebrated as Jesus' birthday. It is a Christian holiday but many non-Christians participate. On Christmas day people give and receive gifts from each other. Also people spend the day with their families and usually have a dinner together. Christmas is known for symbolic decorations. Everyone who celebrates Christmas usually has a Christmas tree that gifts are put under by Santa Clause on Christmas eve night and early Christmas morning.

Track Bowling
Track Bowling was founded as Star Track Bowling in Solon,
Ohio in the 1970’s with the goal of manufacturing balls for the bowler that
wanted to be on the cutting edge of technology. Over the years, the company
gained a reputation for new methods of ball design and development, including
being one of the first manufacturers to experiment with ceramic cores. Many of
the new methods and designs developed by Track went on to become industry
standards.
In February 2007, Track Bowling was acquired by Ebonite
International and relocated to Hopkinsville, Kentucky as a member of the
Ebonite International family of brands. While its location has changed, Track
is still pushing the envelope for new technologies on everything from original
core designs to ground-breaking coverstocks. It’s still the brand for a
different kind of bowler, one who knows that when it comes to performance, it’s
all about the engineering.
Track features a full range of high-, upper-, and
mid-performance balls, as well as bags that reflect the same high standards.
Track has 15 different types of bowling balls. 2 high
performance, 1 upper-mid performance, 5 mid-performance, 1 lower-mid
performance, and 1 polyester ball.
Track sponsors Mika Johani Koivuniemi, who is
from Vanataa, Finland.

Dark Web
The dark web is a part of the internet that is anonymous. People can go on and do things with out being traced back to their computers. Government agencies think this is bad because it makes it very easy for people to sell illegal things. There is a huge market in the dark web for drugs because the dark web has its own currency called a bitcoin which makes it even harder for people to be tracked down. In my opinion the dark web seems like trouble, because it makes it much easier for criminals to get away with crimes.

V For Vendetta
V For Vendetta is about a man who goes by V, and wants to do what is best for his country. V basically starts a rebellion in the UK. He sends out hundreds of thousands of masks for people to wear on November 5th when they planned on going in front of the parliament and protesting. At the end of the movie V gives Evie the choice of sending the train to blow up the parliament or keeping it where it is.
In my opinion V is a hero and a villain. He is a hero to the citizens of the UK by trying to fix their corrupt government. V is a villain for the people he has killed and the destruction he has done to the city.
Propaganda is false information used to publicize a certain point of view. Torture is putting someone in pain on purpose, you are usually trying to get information out of them.
People go as a far as possible to believe certain things have happened. For example there are tons of conspiracies about 9/11. Anyone can make a conspiracy theory, its whether its convincing or not that leads people to believe there is a cover up story about something.
Multi-media is used a lot in conspiracy theories. People try to promote their conspiracy theories on the internet by posting videos that explain the theory to you. If you go on youtube there are hundreds of videos that talk about the 9/11 conspiracy
