What is SOPA and PIPA?


Wikipedia, Wordpress and other sites are black-out today and it is all because of these two bills. Protect IP Act (PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is the fuss around social media today. If you visit twitter, Stop SOPA and PIPA is trending already worldwide. Even Google has it on their homepage that states Tell Congress: Please don’t censor the web! asking to sign a petition to the Congress. What exactly are these bills, PIPA and SOPA? How it can affect a typical user or anyone who uses the internet. See the video below.

Lyrics | Edwina Hayes - Feels Like Home lyrics I really love this song. It's a song from the movie MY Sisters Keeper. The beach scene was the saddest part because of the song. I cried and I was moved. I realized a lot of things in life. The song is really a good choice.

The tailed beasts are large, living forms of "Chakra Monsters" (Chakura no Bakemono), giving them power that far outmatches most shinobi. However, this immense strength is tempered due to their bestial nature, which restricts them from being intelligent enough to use it effectively.  When the tailed beasts are sealed within humans, they are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to speak and better utilize their powers. Akatsuki has been capturing the tailed beasts and their hosts, and as of the Fourth Great Shinobi World War possess seven of the nine beasts. [source] For those who love watching the anime, I’m sure you are familiar with the tailed beast. In Naruto there are actually 9 tailed beasts mentioned.
