China unveils plan to achieve global soccer domination

China has announced that they will be trying to encourage people to play more soccer. They are doing this because they claim, that by the year 2050 the country will turn into a “soccer powerhouse.” With this being said, they are also going to be willing to challenge world's top teams. I find this quite interesting because you would never think that a country will want to force a sport amongst their own people. However it’ll also be interesting to see what kind of competition they will bring!

Baby Saved from being killed from an Earthquake:

In the Japan’s Kyushu island, there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 which has caused houses to collapse. This has prevented the use of heavy equipment in the island. No one would had expected that an earthquake with this huge magnitude would have a survivor of an 8 month old baby girl. After being trapped for 6 hours, she was found under the house that has collapsed after the earthquake. Thankfully, there was no injuries to the baby and her family is safe.

NFL Teams Eager to Forgive and Forget Josh Gordon's Past

Since this player has so much raw talent the coaches are willing to have a trouble maker on the team. He has failed multiple drug tests. He also has way too many suitors to keep up with. He is barely 25 and he has such a record with the NFL. They say that he has too much talent to let go and if they do other teams are bound to pick him up.

Kobe’s Finale

NBA History was made when Kobe Bryant played his last game for the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz. On top of the victory, Kobe was able to end his last game by scoring 60 points. Although it was his last game, his fans will certainly would never forget about him. Kobe has left a great impact and would always be remembered for playing in the LA Lakers. I believe this is a amazing but sad moment because a great basketball player will not be continuing to play.

Barcelona: Luis Enrique takes blame for Champions League exit

"The team are sad. We aren't at our best at the moment, nor our most effective," he said.

"I'm 99.9% to blame, no 100. That's why I am the coach, the most responsible. We all have to improve."

Antoine Griezmann scored both goals for Atletico at the Vicente Calderon, while Lionel Messi failed to net for the fifth club game in a row.

"It is clear that we are not in our best form, especially if you consider how we were playing before, but we need to lift ourselves," added Enrique.

It is only the third time in 11 years that Barcelona have not reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. Barcelona did not qualify to enter champions league tournament finals.

THE HUBBLE CAPTURES EVEN MORE BEAUTY

NASA’s Hubble telescope captures the clustered milky way with about an estimated half a million stars just in one picture. Infrared radiation causes the bright blasts of light pictured above. Gas and dust are so thick that not even the Hubble can see past them with its infrared technology. The Hubble photo is stitched together being a total of nine photos and is about 27,000 light years away from Earth. This image shows the Tarantula Nebula  in the Large Magellanic Cloud.These images have given us a whole new depth of the Milky Way.

In this video, a fox news show called “The Intelligence Report” brings in a guest to bash socialism and Bernie Sanders. Little did they know, he actually defined socialism for them and supported Bernie Sanders. It ironic how the show is called “The INTELLIGENCE Report”, when they can’t even define what socialism really is, and would rather bash on it.

Why  People Are Voting for Trump????

The News say that people are voting for trump because he is tapping into what white Americans are afraid of. Which would be that immigrants are over running jobs and that it is displacing american heritage. White people are afraid that there will be another colored president. I think that these people need to get used to change in our country because the so called “Aliens”(from different places in general) some of them do have papers to make a living  in this great country. They are taking jobs that no one else wants. And for some of  them that are trying to get better jobs and for the native colored people(white) to say no and discriminate and to push down.Really shows how closed minded these people really are.

Purple Sailers

The South florida’s sandy beaches now has thousands of purple jellyfish on the shoreline. Interestingly, this only happens every three years, but it is still a danger for the beach visitors. The jellyfish is also found in the pacific coast. Although it is not a huge danger, the visitors must avoid rubbing their eyes and mouth after touching the Velella jellyfish. I believe that for further precaution, the beaches should be closed until further notice.

Here is a video that would represent social injustice due to culture related issues. A black student gets into a heated argument with a white student with dreadlocks at San Francisco University. My opinion on this is that this argument was just highly unnecessary and biased. Not to mention that if it were a white student getting on a black student to not have their hair straight because it’s their own culture, it would be all racial injustice to the public’s eye. All ethnicities and races should have the right to express their own selves, respectively, without having to deal with offending others for no apparent reason.

Missing Texas girl is found dead

Adriana Coronado, 14 was found dead the police say. The suspect wasn’t well identified, the police say it would be a hard case and it would take a familiarized person to speak up. Adriana’s body was found by a gardener near the Sam Houston Parkway. Her father’s body was burned and found more than 60 miles North of Katy on Saturday. I hope that an individual would speak up so that the police can capture the suspect.

Navy’s new sub-hunting drone ship

This is the new advanced ship that locates submarines. This ship is 132 feet long and likely to cost up to about $20 million. It was designed to travel thousands of miles without a single crewmember on board. The U.S. Navy is developing an unmanned drone ship to track enemy submarines. The vessel is scheduled to be christened in April 2016.

Fleet of gold supercars hit with parking tickets

A billionaire from Saudi brought his fleet of golden cars to London. And all three cars got hit with a parking ticket. Each ticket cost about 450 each so it will probably not even make a dent in his wallet. Also one of the cars got two tickets and the other two only got one.And the total worth of the fleet of the cars would be 1.8 million dollars.

Muslim Family Forced Off Plane

A Muslim family was ordered off of their plane in Chicago boarding to D.C. United Airlines claimed that the family was forced off because of safety reasons. They said that the family’s baby seat for one of their children did not “comply with safety regulations” but the Muslim family said that they tried to check the seat and just asked for an additional strap to secure their baby. I believe that the airline took a measure that was too drastic and they should’ve just helped the family secure their baby.

1 in 5 people will be obese by 2025, study says

There is a huge problem with obesity now and it is said that there will be a greater problem in the future with obesity. It is said that 18% of men and 25% of women will be obese by 2025. This will be 1 in 5 people. This is scary to know. We as a community need to work together to keep each other healthy. I feel bad because, it's no fun when you aren't healthy enough to do fun activities. Lets all try to do and make healthier decisions and become more active.

Hospitals Attacked by Hackers:

Sadly in western Kentucky, the Methodist Hospital the computer networking was useless. The faculty had noticed that the networking had a nasty virus that was nearly impossible to take off. The thing about the hackers is that they don’t usually take off the virus to show mercy, they charge a very high price. Luckily, the hackers the patient’s data were not only affect. I believe this was wrong because it can affect an individual’s live at the hospital because the documents were affected.
