Title Glow in Dark road unveiled in the Netherlands
Date: 14th April, 2014
By: BBC

Glow in the dark have been unveiled on a 500m stretch on a highway in the Netherlands. The paint that is used contains a photo luminising powder that charges up in daytime and slowly releases a green glow at night, doing away with the need for streetlights. The technology have been tested and the official launch is due later this month. An artist named Daan Roosegaarde teamed up with Dutch civil engineering firm to work on this idea. This is the first time glowing lines tech has been piloted on the road and can be seen on the N329 in Oss, almost 100km south east of Amsterdam. once the road absorbed enough daylight it can glow for up to eight hours in the dark. The UK Highways Agency said that this tech is not suitable to be in the country as the weather and stuff would affect the effect of the paint. Originally the team planned to use a temperature-sensative paint mixture would be used to create giant snow-flakes symbols to warn users that the road may be icy.

This tech is an important invention in human history, as if every single country can use this tech we would save lots of electricity on the street lights, as shown in the passage this technology and completely take over the need of street lights, making it extremely environmental friendly. As this paint won't take any electricity in order for it to light up. Also this is sufficient too for the Netherlands as there's more than enough sunlight in a day to light up the road all night by this paint. All in all this is a fantastic plan and this a good start to save our planet from energy crisis

Title: Girl learns lesson about twitter threats
Date: 14th April, 2014
By: BBC

   A 14 year old dutch girl apparently as leaned after she sent the following message to the official American Airlines Twitter account on Sunday morning, "Hello my name's Ibrahim and i'm from Afghanistan. I'm part of Al Qaida and on June 1st i'm gonna do something really big bye." The tweet from Sarah started a social media storm that led the girl's arrest by police on Monday. Originally the airline replies that her IP address and the details of her have been sent to the FBI, what happen next was a bunch of message by the 14 year old girl said that she is kidding and said that she is sorry. She didn't learn her lesson as she is now bidding her twitter account because of the tens of thousands of followers, on Monday Twitter had suspended her account and American Airlines took down its reply, this story was told by a police in Rotterdam who posted this news on twitter.

   What this girl did was unacceptable, as she cost a lot fear among the airlines, also she threatens hundreds of men and women who are going to take a flight on June 1st. She should be fully 100% responsible for her crimes like threatening, also she must learned that everything that you said on the internet have a consequence and she should not see this as as joke where others don't think that this is a joke. Also after she is caught she should be regretful and should change, instead she said that she is famous and auctioned out her account. All in all this girl had no idea what she had done and she should be punished significantly for her crimes.

Title: Nigeria Violence: more than 70 killed in Abuja bus blast
Date: 14th March, 2014
By: BBC

More than 70 people have been killed in a bomb blast at a crowded bus station on the outskirts of Nigeria's capital, Abuja. This explosion happened when people were about to board buses and taxis to go to work. Eyewitnesses said there were dead bodies scattered around the area, they suspicion of this attack fell on the Boko Haram Islamist extremist group who staged previous attacks in Abuja. Police said that 16 coaches and 24 minibus were destroyed , 40 bodies have been evacuated and another eyewitnesses said that they saw the police picking up and gathering body parts. The blast ripped a 4 ft hole in the ground of the Nyanya motor park. A lot of the other cars and vans exploded because of the ignition of their fuel tanks. Ambulances have been taking the dead and the injured to nearby hospitals, now the police are on full alert in preperation for the next attack.

I think that this is an outrageous thing that happened, why do these Islamic extremist have to do things like these in order to get people's attention. Also why do they have to murder innocence "indafel" to please their god. Also this attack have caused not only life lost but lots of economics lost for the country too as now the government must repair the broken things from the explosion also they need to pay the victims money for their family. All in all this incident is unacceptable and the Islamic group should be taken out for good in case of any future attacks

Title: "Haunting" art by Jewish children in WW2 Concentration camp
Date: 14th April, 2014
By: Chris Long

   A collection of sketches by Jewish children who were held at a concentration camp in the former Czechoslovakia during WW2 is going on show at a Lancashire gallery. The images offer an insight into the experiences of the children in the death camps, and many of the children didn't make it out of the camps alive. When someone said that a piece is truly haunting that means that the artist of the painting or piece have captured something immutable. The show gathers together of 40 art works by children who was held in the concentration camps in where used be Czechoslovakia. These images are disturbing as they show how their poor living condition and how they still have to work regarding how young they are. These pictures were without a doubt saddening and moving. 

   I think that these pictures are not only an important history piece for the Jews but it is an important history piece for us the whole of mankind. Although we might have heard of the holocaust no one knows how its like in there ecxept through pictures and stories from the prisoners, but these paintings open my eyes on the condition of the children there in the camps. Also we always think that these camps were made to kill or to enslave the adults of the Jewish population but not children, in these 40 pictures they showed us how bad the situation was for them and how that we cannot allow anything like that to happen in future or now, that no race should be discriminated and massacred.

Title: Mini-Sub starts search for MH370 wreckage
Date: 14th April, 2014
By: BBC

   The detection of crackly ultrasonic "pings" from the depths of the ocean began to suggest the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was finally reaching a conclusion. These signals usually generated by the plane's black box flight recorder seems to have faded and search teams now have to turn to an alternative way to locate the wreckage under the sea. They started to deploy a sub named Bluefin-21 for the hope that it can track down the faint singnals by the flight recorder of the plane in order to locate the wreckage under the sea. The Bluefin-21 scans the bottom of the sea for any debris its fully automatic and can run under water for a total of 20 hours, which 4 hours are devoted to descending and ascending of the sub to the suitable depth. 

   Well i think that this is a good way to locate the airplane as air searches have been proven to be not too useful, although satellites have spotted large objects floating around in the ocean no plane did ever come in contact with those debris. Also this specific sub can provide detail about where and what is on the bottom of the sea floor by using sonar, this can also save time for the search crews to not look at unimportant stuff that is under the sea bed. I also think that they should use this method a long time ago as it saves time and effort, as the sub is fully automated and also it can cover a large area in a relatively short period of time.
