German

a
terrible
disaster,
the
ight
A320
from

to
Dusseldorf,
had
crashed
last
month
in

French
Alps.

People
say
the
co-pilot
(Andreas
Lubitz)
of
Germanwings
crashed
the
plane
on

They
came
to
this
conclusion
by
listening
to
one

the
black
boxes,
and
found
out
that
he
locked
the
door
therefore
locking
out

so
they
recommended
some

him

prosecutors
believe
that

purposely
locked
Patrick

out
of
the

sent

pointed
out:

it
a
customary
means
of
managing

informaPon
and
urged

to:
paPently

for

mulP-party
professional
air
safety
invesPgaPon,
while
maintaining
an
independence
of

over
preliminary
ocial
hypotheses.
He
is
not
the
rst
expert
in
the
aviaPon
eld
to
have
suggested
the
crash
may
have
been
caused
by
hackers.
Former
pilot,
Jay
Rollins,
appeared
on
MSNBC
at
the
end
of
the
crash
and
admiQed
he
found
it
perplexing
that
a
plane
was
in
a
controlled
descent
and
that
it
would
come
down
in
the
way
it
did.
InformaPon
on
the
theory
that
the
plane
crashed
by

is
minuscule
therefore
most
of
the

do
not

Around

salmon

tragically
decreasing,
causing
dramaPc
changes
on
other

and
the

The
rivers
and
lakes
of
the
North
West
Pacic
used
to
have
so
many
salmon
in
them
that
shermen
said
they
could
cross
the
waters
on
shback.
If
those
shermen
wanted
to
cross
those
waters
now,
they
would
have
been
strongly
disappointed.
In
the
American
states
of
California,
Washington,
Oregon
and
Idaho,
40%
of
the
salmon
that
lived
in
the
rivers
are
now
exPnct.
The
same
dilemma
is

Below
are
some
of
the
reasons
why
salmon
numbers
are
dropping
around
the
globe:
Overshing-
some
shermen
are
shing
for
many
salmon,
not
allowing
ospring
to
grow
Global
warming
is
causing
the
water
to
heat
up,
which
makes
the
salmon
move
northwards.
Also,
the
salmon
numbers
dropping
means
less
food
for
other
predators.
Salmon
is
known
as
a
keystone
species,
which
means
that
other
animals
rely
on
their
decaying
carcasses
as
food.
Salmon
may

if

What pudding is suitable for summer and is easy
to cook. It only takes 20 minutes to prepare and
10 minutes to cook. It also serves 8 people! Here
are the ingredients and the instructions:
175g golden caster sugar
7 slices day-old white bread, from a square,
medium-cut loaf
300g strawberries
250g blackberries
100g redcurrants
500g raspberries
1) Wash fruit and gently dry on kitchen paper.
Dont forget to keep the strawberries
separate. Put 3 tbsp and sugar into a large
pan. Gently heat the sugar until it dissolves.
After that, stir it a few times. When this is
finished, bring it to a boiler for one minute
and then tip the berries in (not the
strawberries). Cook for 3 minutes in low
heat, stirring it 2-3 times. This will make the
fruit soften and it should be surrounded by
dark red juice. Put a sieve over a bowl and
tip in the fruit and juice.
2) Line the 1.25-litre basin with cling film as
this will help you to turn out the pudding.
Overlap two pieces in the middle of the
bowl. The edges have to overhang by 15 cm.
Cut the crusts off the bread. Cut 4 pieces of
bread in half, a little on an angle, to give 2
lopsided rectangles per piece. Cut 2 slices
into 4 triangles each and leave the final
piece whole.
3) Dip the whole piece of bread in the juice for
a few seconds. Push this into the bottom of
the basin. Now dip the wonky rectangular
pieces one at a time and press around the
basins sides so that they fit together neatly.
If the last piece doesnt fit, you can cut it
into a triangle to fit it in. After that, put in
the soften fruit, adding strawberries in
different places as you go.
4) Dip the bread triangles in juice and place on
top. You can trim off the overhang. Keep the
leftover juice for later, when you serve.
Bring cling film up and loosely seal. Put a
side plate on top and weight down with
cans. Chill it for 6 hours/overnight. When

The parade and the fireworks are all on the 4th of
July. But where did it all start with? The Declaration
of Independence.
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and
June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence
is at once the nation's most cherished symbol of
liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument.
Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases,
Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds
and hearts of the American people. The political
philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its
ideals of individual liberty had already been
expressed by John Locke and the Continental
philosophers. What Jefferson did was to
summarize this philosophy in "self-evident truths"
and set forth a list of grievances against the King in
order to justify before the world the breaking of
ties between the colonies and the mother country.

This drone is called, Drone 6-axis. The size of this quad copter is roughly 20cm by 20cm. From my
experience, this aircraft is very easy to fly and for 60minutes of charging will give you 7-8 minutes of
joy. The most significant feature of the drone is that it has four motors and four propellers making it a
quad copter. They are located on the end of each leg. The quad copter also has LEDs on the end of each
leg so you can know which corner is the front one. This awesome aircraft can also do a 360 degree flip.
There is also another model of this aircraft which also has a HD camera built in. When you take it out of
the box it is ready to fly but needs a bit of charging to have a full flight capacity. As I said earlier, this
four-propelled drone is very easy to fly once you know where the controls are.
In conclusion, both aircrafts are easy to fly
and very fun but there is some
differences. The RC plane needs a lot
more space than the RC quad copter
which can be flown in a small space. This
is because the quad copter can drone and
the plane has to fly forward.

Apple has released the iPad air 2 and
the iPad mini 3. They have tried to
add the most efficient features as
they could. Lets see which one's
better.
The largest difference between these
iPad is the size with the air 2 being 9.7
inches and the mini 3 being 7.9
inches. the thickness of the iPad air 2
is 6.1mm which is 1mm thinner than
its predecessor the iPad air. And the
mini 3 being 7.5mm thick. The air 2
weighs about 450g and the mini 3
weighs about 350g. The air 2 has an
A8X 64 bit processor and a M8
coprocessor that adds a barometer
which is a new addition to the sensors
. Unfortunately the iPad mini 3 still has the old A7 processor and the M7 coprocessor. The Pad air 2 has an
antireflective coating that stops the screen from reflecting that.Both of these have the new touch id feature
that scans your finger print and makes it your password for your iPad and the app store. Both of them can be
bought with 16, 64 and 128GB.
Both of them are great. The mini 3 is portable and the air 2 is thin and compact. We preffer the iPad air 2
because it had most effective changes but if you want to get an iPad mini we suggest the mini 2. It's a better
deal because the only difference between the mini 2 and 3 is the touch id.

It was finally April Fools Day: A.F.D. its the most wonderful and silly time of the year, especially for children
including older ones. Some children play tricks at home on their parents; some at school on their friends.
Mostly kids play realistic tricks on their parents. Quite a few kids get jokes from the internet or from joke
books. This article is about internet jokes. All of this chaos happens on the 1st of April each and every year.
Jokes make you laugh and live longer. Find below some examples:
What kind of key opens a banana?
A monkey!
Why did the boy eat his homework?
Because his teacher said it was a piece of cake!
Why can't a leopard hide?
Because he's always spotted!
Why can't you give Elsa a balloon?
Because she will Let it go.
What do you call an alligator in a vest?

Of course everyone in the world knows that on the 1st of April we celebrate April Fools Day, but when did it all
begin and how? Well some people believe that it came from the ancient Romans; others think that it
originated from France when King Charles changed the yearly calendar in 1564. Charles decided that New Year
should be celebrated on the 1st of January instead of the 1st of April. All of the countries besides France didnt
know that it was changed because of bad communication and continued to celebrate New Year on the 1st of
April. Meanwhile some people in France were happy that it was changed while others hated it. The ones that
disagreed fooled people on the old New Years Day. Soon enough the British came to France and found out
about the new French tradition, which they liked so much that they decided to follow it. Finally, the American
Colonies visited Britain and learnt about April Fools Day as well. Soon this tradition spread all over the world.
So this is how it all began.

Movies are a large part of the entertainment industry nowadays. Over the years the cinema has significantly
developed. The script has become more and more well-thought-of and interesting. The acting has drastically
enhanced. The technologies used in the film production and film projection have too enormously advanced. In
this article you will go through the journey of how the early cinema has grown to what it is today.
1600-1700 - In the 17th century magic lanterns were used to project shadow images.
1827 - In 1827 the first still photograph was taken using a glass plate technique.
1832 - In 1832 Joseph Plateau and his sons introduce the Phenakistoscope. Like other toys of its kind, the
Phenakistoscope was one of the more successful illusion toys. Pictures on one disc viewed through slots in the
other, appeared to move when the two were spun and viewed in a mirror.
1834 - In 1834 the Zoetrope was introduced by William George Horner. The Zoetrope used the same principle
as Plateau's Phenakistoscope but instead of discs the pictures and slots are combined in a rotating drum.
Zoetrope's were widely sold after 1867.
1839 - In 1839 Henry Fox Talbot makes an important discovery in photograph production with the introduction
of negatives on paper - as opposed to glass. Also around this time it became possible to print photographic
images on glass slides which could be projected using magic lanterns.
1846 - In 1846 Important in the development of motion pictures was the invention of intermittent
mechanisms - particularly those used in sewing machines.
1877 - In 1877 Emile Reynaud introduces the Praxinoscope. Similar in design to Horner's Zoetrope, the illusion
of movement produced by the Praxinoscope was viewed on mirrors in the center of the drum rather than
through slots on the outside.
1878 - In 1878 Eadweard Muybridge achieves success after five years of trying to capture movement.
Muybridge was asked, in 1873, by the ex-governor of California - Leland Stanford to settle a bet as to whether
horses hooves left the ground when they galloped. He did this by setting up a bank of twelve cameras with
trip-wires connected to their shutters, each camera took a picture when the horse tripped its wire. Muybridge
developed a projector to present his finding. He adapted Horner's Zoetrope to produce his Zoopraxinoscope.
Entertainment
1882 - In 1882 Etienne Jules Marey creates a photographic gun which exposed 12 images on the
edge of a circular plate
1888 - In 1888 George Eastman plans a still camera which produces photographs on sensitized
paper. He sells them using the name Kodak.
1889 - In 1889 Reynaud displays a much larger version of his praxinoscope.
Edison travels to Paris and views Marey's camera which uses flexible film. Dickson then buys some
Eastman Kodak film stock and begins work on a new type of machine.
1891 - By 1891, Edison and Dickson have their Kinetograph camera and Kinetoscope viewing box
ready for patenting and demonstration. Using Eastman film cut into inch wide strips, Dickson
punched four holes in either side of each frame allowing toothed gears to pull the film through the
camera.
1892 In 1892 Reynaud holds the first public exhibitions of motion pictures. Reynaud's device was successful,
using long strips of hand-painted frames, but the effect was jerky and slow.
1893 In 1893 Edison and Dickson build a studio on the grounds of Edison's laboratories in New Jersey, to
produce films for their Kinetoscope. The Black Maria was ready for film production at the end of January.
1894 In 1894 The Lumire family is the biggest manufacturer of photographic plates in Europe a Local
Kinetoscope exhibitor asks brothers Louis and Auguste to make films which are cheaper than the ones sold by
Edison.
Louis and Auguste design a camera which serves as both a recording device and a projecting device. They call it
the Cinematographer.
The camera shot films at sixteen frames per second (rather than the forty six which Edison used), this became
the standard film rate for nearly 25 years.
In October of 1894, Edison's Kinetoscope made its first appearance in London. Incredibly, Edison hadn't
patented his Kinetoscope outside of the US, so Paul was free to sell copies to anyone, however, because
Edison would only supply films to exhibitors who leased his machines, Paul had to invent his own camera to
make films to go with his duplicate Kinetoscope.
Another peepshow device, similar to the Kinetoscope arrived in the autumn of 1894. The Mutoscope was
patented by Herman Casler, and worked using a flip-card device to provide the motion picture. Needing a
camera he turned to his friend W.K.L Dickson.
1895 In 1895 the first film shot with the Cinematographer camera was shot in March.
1895 - In March of 1895, R.W Paul and his partner Bert Acres had a functional camera which was based partly
on Marey's 1888 camera. In just half a year they had created a camera and shot 13 films for use with the
Kinetoscope.
1895 In 1895 the Lathams too had succeeded in creating a camera and a projector and on April 21st 1895
they showed one film to reporters. In May they opened a small storefront theatre
In 1895 Atlanta, Georgia was the setting for another partnership. C. Francis Jenkins and Thomas Armat exhibit
their phantoscope projector.
One of the most famous film screenings in history took place on December 28th, 1895. The venue was the
Grand Cafe in Paris and customers paid one Franc for a twenty-five minute programmer of ten Lumire films.
Entertainment
1896 - Early in 1896, Herman Casler and W.K.L Dickson had developed their camera to go with Casler's
Mutoscope. The camera and projector they produced were unusual as they used 70mm film which gave very
clear images.
1896 The Lumire brothers sent a representative from their company to London and started a successful run
of Cinematographer films.
1896 R.W. Paul continued to improve his camera and invented a projector which began by showing copies of
Acres' films from the previous year.
1896 After agreeing to back Armat's Vitascope, Raff and Gammon approached Edison, afraid to offend him,
and Edison agrees to manufacture the Vitascope marketing it as "Edison's Vitascope".
1897 - By 1897 the American Mutoscope Company become the most popular film company in America projecting films.
1899 In 1899 the American Mutoscope Company changes its name to the American Mutoscope and
Biograph Company to include its projection and peepshow devices.
1900 - In 1900 British filmmaker James Williamson produces "The Big Swallow" which is demonstrated in the
creativity of the Brighton School (of filmmakers).
1902 In 1902 Georges Mlis produces his magnificent "Voyage to the Moon", a fifteen minute epic fantasy
parodying the writings of Jules Verne and HG Wells. The film used innovative special effect techniques and
introduced color to the screen through hand-painting and tinting.
1903 In 1903 British film maker George Smith makes Mary Janes Mishap which was praised for its
sophisticated use of editing. The film uses medium close-ups to draw the viewers attention to the scene. The
film also contains a pair of wipes which signal a scene change.
The American Mutoscope and Biograph Company begin making films in the 35mm format rather that the
70mm which boosted their sales. The company went on to employ one of the most important silent film
directors - D.W Griffith in 1908.
1905 In 1905 Cecil Hepworth produced, with Lewin Fitzhamon "Rescued by Rover". A charming film in which
Hepworth, his wife, child and dog, star.
In conclusion, the history of photographic technology is
very interesting. It has made many turns to become what it
is today. The cinema is one of the most preferred
entertainment in our dynamic lives. This is because it is
easy to afford and organize. For two hours we forget about
our ambitions, responsibilities and problems. We sink into
the world of characters and live their life with them. But to
enjoy the exciting journey, we have to thank the unique
technology development during the last few years. The
technology we have today is very exclusive and betterquality. It only takes 400 years to go from magic lanterns to
special cameras and smart phones! Imagine what will

Australian cricket team celebrating their 5th title of the ICC
World Cup in 2015 in their home ground, Australia.
The 2015 ICC World Cup, 11th Cricket World cup; that Australia managed to win was hosted by
Australia and New Zealand from 14 February to 29 March 2015. In total 14 teams played 49 matches
in 14 different venues. Australia, the winners of the world cup played 6 matches (the same as all the
other teams) and won 4 of them. With this result, they were qualified into the playoffs along with New
Zealand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh(from pool A) India, South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies(from pool B).
Australia, diving through the quarter finals against Pakistan and winning by 6 wickets. Then through
the semifinal against India and defeating it by 95 runs. Eventually playing the final, Australia made it
once again against New Zealand, winning by 7 wickets.
The finals of the world cup took place in Melbourne, Australia in front of a record breaking crowd of
93,013 where the average crowd throughout the tournament was 21,071. On the day of the final,
New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first. The very first over of the match already showed off
that the Kiwis were in a trouble as New Zealands captain Brendon McCullum was dismissed in the
fifth ball due to Mitchell Starcs wonderful bowling. After this great dismissal, till the end of the
innings, it could easily be said that New Zealand was in great trouble as they ended with a score of
183- 10 (45 overs). Australia managed to chase down the target in 33.1 overs. This was Australias 5th
world cup title- the most by any country. India were the defending champions and Australia are the
defending champions.
As Michael Clarke, Australias captain has decided to retire after this WC, he spoke words after the
victory. "The summer has been different because it's not just about the physical side of the game," he
said. "I think we've all experienced the mental side and the emotion of what's happened, and I guess
that's why the boys deserve even more credit, to be able to continue to get up every single day and
want to perform and help the team have success with that emotion that runs through your body.
"I think through the whole World Cup, I made it very clear that it was going to be skill, not emotion
that won us the World Cup, and I think a lot of the things I've said in press conferences have actually
been for myself. I'm saying it out loud so I can hear it myself, and I think that's probably one of the
main things I've been saying, skill over emotion will win the World Cup for us, and I think I've needed
to hear that, as well. I've needed to say it out loud because it has been emotional, there's no doubt
about it.
"To fight my backside off and work as hard as I possibly have to get back into the team, number one,
after surgery, and then I guess to deal with what we've all dealt with over the last few months and to
win a World Cup in front of your home fans, it's taken amazing discipline from all the players, a lot of
hard work, and it's a fitting reward, like I say, for the pain everyone has gone through."
"I think the team is in a great place. I think they'll continue to have success. I think they'll continue to
get better. I think that talent will not just be talent, it'll be consistent performance. I think, like I said, I
think it's the right time.

An amazing finish by Suarez in the first minute he runs and he slides the ball past the Valencia keeper
wonderful shot and a beautiful assist by Messi he should have deserved the goal because he did the
most running but still a amazing finish by Suarez perfect touch to the ball and it glides into the goal
like a feather no chance for the Valencia keeper amazing touch to the ball perfectly finished by Luis
Suarez. Both teams played amazing this match but it was still really one sided for Barcelona around
the sixty-fifth minute Messi had a free kick and put it just over the bar amazing shot by Messi and for
Barcelona around the end of the match Messi dribbled his way around everybody and skilled the
keeper putting the ball in the net and making it 2-0 for Barcelona
