France has many customs. One of the customs that France has is shaking hands with someone that you're meeting for the first time. If someone is your friend, you greet them by giving them a light kiss on the cheeks, one on the left cheek and the other one on the right cheek. Another custom is that you only say someone's first name if you are part of their family or if you are a close friend. You can start saying someone's first name if they have invited you somewhere. In France, when you enter a store or somewhere else you're expected to say bonjour/ bonsoir to the Monsieur/ Madame. If you're at a dinner party, you have to wait til the host/ hostess says bon appetit before you start eating. France has too many other customs for me to talk about, but to see them you can visit France's customs.

Teacher possibly killed by Wolves
A 32 year old woman named Candace Berner was killed while jogging along a rural road in Alaska Village road. Candace was a special ed teacher from Pennsylvania who began working in Alaska in August. The Alaska State Medical Examiner stated that Candace had multiple injuries due to animal mauling. An autopsy was performed on Candace which couldn't reveal exactly what animal killed Candace. Through DNA Analysis, it can be proven that wolves were indeed the cause of Candace's death. Even though there are other carnivores in Alaska, wolves are the chief suspect of the death of Candace.

Weekend Post
On March 6th in Gary, Indiana there was a shooting at a concert. This concert was a Woka Flocka Flame concert. 8 teenage boys, 14-18 years old, were shot but none of them got fatal wounds. Some of the boys were shot in the stomach, legs, wrist, and back. None of the boys knew what started the shooting. But the Boombox reported that the shooting may have been caused by a hype man who started talking about the east side versus the west side. A teen who was at the concert said that the shooter was a black man with a red hat on and dread locks. As for Waka Flocka this is the third time that he's been involved in gunfire. One time was when he got into a shoot out with Young Jeezy's entourage. Another time was when Waka Flocka got shot twice during a robbery attempt in January.
