Salem witch trails story

The infamous Salem witch trails began during the spring of 1692, after a group of young girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts, a special court convened in Salem to hear the cases the first convicted witch, Bridget Bishop, was hanged that June. Eighteen others followed Bishop to Salem's Gallows Hill, while some 150 more men, woman and children were accused over the next several months.
By September 1692, the hysteria had begun to abate and public opinion turned against the trials. Though the Massachusetts General Court later annulled guilty verdicts against accused witches and granted indemnities to their families, bitterness lingered in the community, and the painful legacy of the Salem with trails would endure for centuries.

I believe the whole trial could have been handled different, Instead of executing all of those people. I think that they should've investigated deeper into the cause, rather than pointing fingers and blaming others for their mistakes.

Census

Census experts and public officials are expressing growing concerns that the bedrock mission of the 2020, census an accurate and trustworthy head count of everyone in the United States, is imperiled, with worrisome implications.

According to 2020 Census

Preparations for the count already are complicated by a sea change in the census itself: For the first time, it will be conducted largely online instead of by mail. But as the Census Bureau ramps up its spending and work force for the 2020 count, it is saddled with problems. Its two top administrative posts are filled by placeholders. Years of underfunding by Congress and cost overruns on the digital transition have forced the agency to pare back its preparations, including abandoning two of the three trial runs of the overhauled census process.

Taken together, some experts say, those isseus substantially raise the risk that the 2020 count could be flawed, disputed, or both.

My One Word for 2018: Baseball

Baseball got in my life since I was 3 year old. Baseball is for me my one word for 2018. This year I have to go chase my dreams of being a pro-baseballer. I've always dreamed about this moment. To play baseball for an American high school, and after high school go play for college.

In 2015 I got selected for The Kingdom Of The Netherlands, and 2 months after we had tournament in Tokyo (Japan). Because I was 15 years old and the youngest it was kinda hard for me, because everyone else was so big and strong.

In 2017 at a game against Spain I ripped a muscle in my back, after the doctors checked me they told me I was done for this year and that I couldn't play this year. I think that was the hardest part in my life. This is the first time in over a year that I play baseball again. This chance is very important for me, and my goal now in 2018 is to be champions with the Pioneers and get a scholarship with baseball. 2018 has to be my year!
