It was supposed to have been a festive occasion: a pre-wedding party, held under the stars on a warm night. But suspected insurgent gunmen burst in on the gathering in a village field in Afghanistan, fatally shooting nine men including the groom. It took place around 1 a.m. Thursday in a remote area of Nangarhar province, in Afganistan's east. A spokesman for the province said that the cousin of the groom was the chief administrator of the district. Mr Gul said the gunmen briefly held one of the men at the party, saying he was an "American spy". The attckers also set fire to a house and car in the neighbourhood, reports said.
My opinion
It is afwul to read this kind of news. It was supposed to be a great and an unforgettable wedding party but it turned out a bloody mess. I do not know why this happened. what was the reason to kill innocent people and the groom. maybe he was in love and could not get the bride and was jealous and that is why he ruined the wedding party. I do not know. But when I was reading this news, I remembered the girl in The Netherlands who was also killed by their boyfriend because she refused him when he asked her to proposal.

Man 'hid in case to burgle' Barcelona airport coach

If you think that your luggage is in a save place in the plane, well that is not always true. In Barcelona airport Spanish police have arrested a man who said to have smuggled himself in order to burgle the luggage compartments. After that the police arrested the first man, they found an allaged accomplice inside the case. Asked what he was doing, the suitcase man, who wore a head lamp, said he had been unable to pay the coach fare. After that, the police was alerted after a string of thefts.
Police believe the man was loaded on to coaches by his accomplice, who would then reclaim him after the 90-minute return trip to Barcelona's Girona airport."Once the trip began, he would get out of the suitcase, search for valuable objects and hide them in a smaller bag he carried with him," regional Catalan police were quoted as saying by AFP news agency. The two men, both Polish citizens, were arrested for the theft of a laptop and a GPS device, while police are seeking to trace other possible burglary victims.
My opinion
These two men, are very stupid to do this kind of burglar. If they want to steal something, go and rob a bank or a house. They thought it is simple to smuggle hisself in a luggage to go in the luggage compartments and steal some laptops or GPS device. These kinds of people should be in jail and take their passports away and do not give them the permission to fly anymore.

Red carpet laid from her front door to the church!!

Eevery bride want to have a red carpet on her wedding day. But this bride was lucky to find a 100-yard red carpet from her front door to the church. Her husband spent weeks of planning to arrange this for her and her friends.
Calogero, 41, from Carshalton, said: ' The church is only four doors away so there was no point getting a car to drive Louise to the church - plus I wanted to make the walk a bit more special.''But I didn't want her to peek outside on the day and see the carpet from her window before she left the house. ''So I had it laid at the last minute just before she opened the door''.
The bride was suprised and could not believe her eyes. She had absolutely know idea about the red carpet. She was very happy about that.
My Opinion
It is very nice to have a red carpet on your wedding but Just in front of the church or in front of your house when u get out of the house. But I think it is just a little bit overstate to have a red carpet from your house to the church. what the most important thing is that she would like the day and enjoy her wedding day. these kind of things does not matter. But like the idea from the groom and I think that he is a very romantic gentlemen. I hope that they will long and happy with each other. By the way I like the dress of the bride..:D

Chinese teenager sells his kidney so he can buy an iPad2

A teenager in China named Xiao Zheng, 17, could not buy one of the new tablet-style computers that are seen as symbols of wealth in China, the Ipad2. So he decided to sell his kidney.
The teenager told Shenzhen TV in the southern province of Guangdong: 'I wanted to buy an iPad2, but I didn't have the money. 'When I surfed the internet I found an advert posted online by an agent saying they were able to buy a kidney.' he travelled to the city and removed his kidney.
Private surgeons had hired out a room at the facility to perform the risky procedure on April 28. He was discharged after three days and given 20,000 yuan, or £1,884, for the organ. He bought an iPad2 and an iPhone but when he returned home his suspicious mother wanted to know where the goods had come from. Later he confessed that he had a surgery and sold his kidney to buy the Ipad, Iphone and a laptop.
The police were called but they could not trace any of the three men who had done the operation for this boy to remove his kidney.

Abuse chock!!!

According by cops in England and Wales there are more than 23.000 child sex offences. It is all include brutal crimes such as rape, incest and gross indecency.
The total was up eight per cent on the previous year and 13 per cent up on the year before.
One in four of the victims were 11 or under and more than 1,000 children were four years old or younger.
One in four of the victims were 11 or under and more than 1,000 children were four years old or younger.
The NSPCC's Jon Brown said: "Thousands of people come forward every year to report sex crimes against children. "But many victims are too young to ask for help. Others are too scared to tell anyone about their suffering until years later.
My opinion:
It is horrible that there is such a stats that tells you that every twenty minutes a child sex crime is commited.
These kinds of people who rape and abuse children have to go in jail for years and years. 64 crimes every day commited is a lot. The cops and the government should talk about these kind of things and help these children to let them go and ask for help or tell enyone about their problems. these children will have a lot of problems later in life. Some of them who are abused or raped will also commit these things. These victimes have to be changed.

Sixteen-year-olds are voting !!!
If you want to vote, you have to be 18 years. But in Bremen (Germany) is it a lil bit different.
The authorities in the city of Bremen lowered the voting age to try to interest younger people in politics.
They have done that to persuade the teenagers also to participate in the election. schools in bremen have also held lessons in how to fill in a ballot papers. Some of the people are sceptic arguing that the 16-years-old voters have to wait two more years to vote for the election, just like to drive a car.
The BBC's Stephen Evans, in Berlin, ''says studies indicate that 16-year-olds are less likely to take the trouble than older people - and one study also seems to show that their level of ignorance about politics is much greater than 18-year-olds''.
Austria is the only other EU-member nation that allows 16-year-olds to vote.
My Opinion
I think that they should not let the 16 years old children vote for the election. I do not think that the most of the children are very serieus about it. there are some of boy and girls they like the plitical things and have interest in it, but I do not think that a 16 years old boy or girl will vote. If they vote they will listen to their parents to see what they say and then they will vote for someone.

Girl, 17, arrested

Police believe Temidayo was robbed hours before he was killed
A 17-year-old girl has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a 15-year-old boy who was stabbed in London. The boy who called Temidayo Ogunneye died after suffering multiple stab wounds in an attack behind a block of flats in Cormont Road, Camberwell, on Wednesday. The girl is now arrested and remains at a south London police station. Detectives believe that Temidayo who was from Peckham, south London, was robbed hours before he was killed by the girl. A few teenage boys were arrested on suspicion of his murder on Wednesday, but one has since been released without further action.
My opinion
It is awful to read this kind of news. How can a girl kill a boy? What can be the reason ? They do not know yet. I think that the detectives should be aware of these teenagers and follow them and ask some questions in the neighbours to know why the boy has been killed. It is not the first time that a teenage has been killed in the UK. Temidayo was the fifth teenager to be fatally stabbed in London this year. He was the fifth victim in a year. That is a lot. The police should be very aware and also be in crowed places to reduce this kind of horrible situations.
And the winner of Eurovision Song Contest is.....

The winner of Eurovision Song Contest of 2011 in Germany is Azerbaijan. The two stars of Azerbaijan; Eldar Gasimov and Nigar Jamal of Ell/Nikki were voted Europe's favourites, after scoring 221 points with their love song, Running Scared. the vieuwers at home voted for their favourite song by phone or text message, which accounted for half of each country's vote. It is the first time that Azerbaijan has won the contest in its 56-year history, having only joined Eurovision in 2008. They were very happy and could not believe it. They were thankful of all the fans and people who voted for Azerbaijan.
The next year's contest will be held in the winner's capital city of Baku.
My opinion
Unfortunately, I could not watch the Eurovision Song Contest. So, I cannot say who was the best in my opinion. I just saw it on the internet that the winner of this song contest is Azerbaijan. I congruate them and hope that they will have another great oppertunity to win the next song contest again. I have to say that I liked the song they sang. It was a nice love song.
Will and Kate’s royal honeymoon: Prepare to be jealous

Prince William and Princes Kate could not hide it anymore. They will stay in North Island for their honeymoon. North Island was in the 70s only inhabited by rats and cats. There are more tortoises than people on the island. Some are as old as 150 years old. It may sounds very boring and old but if you take a look at the pictures you will see how beautiful it is now. North Island is about 600 acres and it's surrounded by cliffs and coconut trees. There are also 11 villas that overlook the beach on North Island and each villa has a plunge pool. The bar and restaurant in the villa is built on an upturned tree. It looks and sounds fantastic.
My opinion
Well, first of all I have to say that most of the places that are very expensive were back in the past just a normal place where animals lived. Nowdays they are just like palace and if you have a lot of money you can stay there. I am not so jealous about their honeymoon, I will go to my own country. The weather, food, place, people everything is perfect. I hope that they will enjoy their stay in North Island and have fun their.

A Colourful Abaya

When you are going to Saidi Arabia you have to wear a long garment, that is called in Arabic an ''abaya''. This long garment are worn by muslim women to protect themselves not from the weather but from the eyes of men. The colour of this Abaya is always black. Over the past few years, an abaya evolution has been under way thanks to the designer Eman Al-Mandeel and others. Eman started wearing her own designs, and after a while people started asking her to make abayas for them.
Eman moved to Riyadh where the black abaya's were worn by women with little or no embellishment on it. But against the odds, Eman's creations have won lots of fans. Many Saudi VIPs wear them, who can afford it.
Eman wants more Saudi women to adopt colourful abayas as a statement of their identity.
"You can not change a country in one or two years," she says thoughtfully. "But each year I can see Saudis getting that little bit more accepting… My aim is to make Saudi women look like individual members of society."

My opinion
I have seen this kind of cloth which is called an abaya. It is nice to wear it but not only the black one. I like the abaya's which have embellishment and are colourfull. The colour black is too hot in the summer. This designer did a great job to reinventing the Saidi Arabia Abaya. I also want to have one of this abaya just for fun. I will wear this kind of cloth when I have to go to the mosque.

Cry-baby 'link to behavioural problems'

Excessive crying as a baby may hint at behavioural
problems later in life.
According to research published in Archives of Disease in Childhood says that crying in babies is normal, but some cry "excessively" after the age of three months for reasons other than it is not normal anymore. Onother researchers looked also in problems of eating and sleeping.
Professor Dieter Wolke, from the University of Warwick, told the BBC: "It is about a 100% increase in risk, a doubling of risk of behavioural problems with excessive crying, sleeping and eating problems." Jane Valente, a consultant paediatrician at Great Ormond Street Hospital, said: "It would be wrong for people to get overly alarmed. I don't think on the basis of this report people should be going to their GPs.
They say that the parents should be aware of their childeren. If they think that there is something wrong with the baby, they have to alarm the hospital or doktor.
My Opinion
I don't think that this is true. I don't believe such a news. it is normal that a baby cry a lot. My little niece cried a lot when she was a baby , but now she is a wonderfull little girl who is happy and do not have any behaviour problem. I know a lot of babies who cry a lot but I don't think they will have some behaviour problems like ADHD of agrresive behaviour.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13141753
By comparing data from 22 studies from 1987 to 2006, they found a link between these issues and problems later in life of the babies. They say that the babies would have behaviour problems later like ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), anxiety and depression as well as aggressive behaviour.

Frustrated Justin Bieber 'pulled into' Israel politics
The 17-year-old Canadian singer Justin Bieber was looking forward to go to Israel to give an outdoor concert and to spend his sparetime for sightseeing in Israel. Justin Bieber told the photographers that they ''should be ashamed'' because of so much photos and attention. Justin Bieber is used to all this kind of attention but he was more frustrated when we was on his tour and get all the attention from the photographers. Bieber complained in tweets of being "super frustrated" and retreated to his hotel, expressing his anger in a tweet: "Staying in the hotel the rest of the week u happy?"
He also wanted to see the Prime Minister to ask him to let the children attend in the meeting in order to encourage them and create a PR effect. The PM doesn't see that as a political issue and agreed. But after that it looks like that the meeting never ever was planned and happened!
My Opinion
I agree with Justin Bieber, If I was in his shoes I will also be frustrating when I see a lot of photographers around me. I think that the photographers have to only take a picture when he is on stage but they are not allowed to disturb him while he is on a tour or sightseeing. The other thing that was very strange is that the meeting was not planned and happened. They say that Justien Bieber never asked such a request to the PM.
All this issue around Justin Bieber is very hilarious, a lot of girls are in love with him and he is just a boy of 17 years old and is so popular around the world. I do not like his songs, it is too childish. Do you like him?
Let us know what you think about him!!! :D
How can social networks make money?
Well, as you all know there are a lot of social networking sites like, Tweeter, Facebook, Hyves, MySpace etc etc. The most popular social networking site is Facebook. It is on top after MySpace. Over a past month there are a lot of users on Facebook enjoying a selection of Warner Bros blockbusters streamed through the site in exchange for about $4 (£2.45) in Facebook credits. Advertising is at the heart of most internet success stories. But in some ways social networks are uniquely engineered as money-making machines. That is because you make the content for free and put it free on social networking sites.
Most of the people have a smart phone and are users of Facebook and have that on his mobile. wherever they are they write something on facebook and when his friends on his list see his comment they will reply and talk about for example the theme park where he is staying. So the social networking sites make money because somehow we are advertising something on our social network site.
