This past week in news saw headlines ranging from severe weather in Cuba and California to the ongoing refugee crisis in Germany, the rededicating of the NYPD memorial in New York, and the completion of the Chicago Marathon. We also saw the observation of the International Day of the Girl Child, and a very dedicated citizen showing his support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
