Janemccurdy, you are invited to the Teahouse!
The Bangkok Free Trade Zone is a topic that I could write my paper on. I like this topic because it can be linked to international trade, and effects on economy which I find very interesting. Additionally, this article is pretty short, but while doing digging, I discovered a website with quite a bit of information on this topic. I can discuss the various warehouses, factories, and land for rent, and even what these areas may cost.

Another topic I could do more research on would be the Defenders Protection Initiative. This is an organization in Uganda that was established in 2012 in order to protect human rights through human resource developments. I found an extensive website operated by the Initiative itself, and I think this could be my main source of credible information. Some of the information they provide on their website relates to who they are, what they, and their mission for the future. They always have a news section where current event articles related to the intuitive are present.

The last topic I would like to do more research is called ShakeAlert. This relatively new system is designed to detect signs of an earthquake at an early stage so that the system can warn people. Shake Alert itself does have a credible website where they discuss their goals, how their system works, frequently asked questions, and implementation. I also wish to talk about the geography of where ShakeAlert has been helpful in the past.I think it is also important to talk about the funders of this project because it is not run by the government, but in the future could have extremely beneficial effects on the west coast.

For my topic I am considering ShakeAlert because it is the most interesting to me. I also found multiple sources that I can use such as the shake alert website itself as well as a clip on NPR that I found. I wish to discuss the way in which ShakeAlert works and what kinds of things it can detect in the early stages of an earthquake.

Final Article Selection

For my final article, I decided to pick ShakeAlert. While I find ShakeAlert both interesting and useful, I have found many sources outside of its government-run website to find information. Some of these sources include news articles dating to September 2015, so they are extremely current and relevant. Additionally, I found a clip from an NPR article that could be useful. Because this article is a “stub” article, I know that there is plenty of room for me to expand the amount of information. I also want to go into detail about the way in which ShakeAlert picks up signals from the earthquake. Most importantly, I intend to emphasize that ShakeAlert does not detect earthquakes before they occur, but instead detects the smallest signs of the earthquake after it has already started. ShakeAlert
