National Lottery say that their firm hasn’t been compromised , and they say that the login details for players must have been “stolen” from somewhere else. Although no money was added or taken, there was some suspicion activity on fewer than 50 of them. The Information Centre said that they would launch a investigation. Camelot (National Lottery’s operator) did submit a breach report, so someone did breach their systems but nothing was taken or added so, in my opinion this does seem quite strange. Camelot was aware of the problem on Sunday. "We are currently taking all the necessary steps to fully understand what has happened, but we believe that the email address and password used on the National Lottery website may have been stolen from another website where affected players use the same details," said Camelot. National Lottery thinks that the hack may have resulted in some people’s personal information being hacked. "If there's 26,500 accounts here and they are saying the credentials are correct but they didn't come from us, they still let an attacker log in 26,500 times," said Troy Hun, a web security expert.

As it can be played on console and PC, it is full of fun weapons, outfits and much more. worm not having a go can’t move though. So you got a definite chance to hit the worm with a fire punch or something. Some weapons aren't really weapons like jetpacks and Para shoots or a ninja rope. The main aim of the game is you are on a team of worms and you have to kill the other team of worms using weapons. Weird right? But that’s not really all, you can get items from other boxes and some boxes are filled of materials to craft weapons. You can also mount items like tanks and Mechs to destroy the other worms. But the only thing is, that you have turns. I mean turns by each turn one of your teams or other teams will have a limited amount of seconds to move, jump or use a weapon to kill a worm. The other As you can see, worms is a pretty complicated game. One of the best items in the game is a concrete donkey. Even though they have a weird name, they can be dropped from the sky crush anything. One of the best bombs in the game is the holy hand grenade. It’s so overpowered. It basically destroys nearly the whole map. So when you get it from amazon, you are very lucky to have it. Gaming Minion Rush Written By: Ty Tollman Welcome back and today in Scribbler I am writing about a funny game called Minion Rush. Minion Rush is a game where you need to complete courses by using jump, roll, switch lanes and get power-ups to easily complete levels to get jelly, then to complete the set of levels to get all the jelly. Each collection of levels are different maps and different types of jelly. You can change your characters to any person that was in the movies Despicable Me 1 and 2 and minions. You can also pick your own map to compete against computers and people who are online ! As with most games, you can get on the leader board to win special prizes. also can go on missions to get vehicles to Gru’s minions. You can use vehicles to also skip some levels. There are a lot of types of jelly to find and get to keep in mind. It gets really hard! Now this is about already half of the game so I wont spoil it for you so, the final part to this game is that you can get extra little minion star combos whenever you see a minion and knock it down. You only have about 3 lanes to move around in and dodge obstacles. So watch out! Minion rush has had loads of updates. So now there's loads to the game. Gaming Alto’s Adventure Written By: Kushal Kota Alto’s Adventure is a game were your reindeer escape and you have to snowboard to get them back. You have to play through different weathers like rain, thunder storms, sunrise and many more. Once you start playing it will count how many metres you go, if you get 2,300 metres you wake up a elder who try’s to get you. My personnel best is 10,391, in Alto’s Adventure you get levels if you get to the tenth level you get your second character called Maya there are five characters. You can jump on bunting grinds and jump chasms (chasms are basically two mountains that have a big DEEP hole between the mountains). You can do backflips and any other cool things you can think of. Also you have power ups like magnet and hover feather. You can buy stuff from the work shop like wings and a reindeer horn which makes the reindeers come like a tidal wave. In the game you are playing in like a snowy place like the Scandinavian country’s. Also you can jump on rooftops of houses. The game is created by Snowman and it is also a platform game (a platform is a like a phone or a iPad). Rating: 9 /10 Gaming Respawnables Written By: Kushal Kota I am writing today about Respawnables. Respawnables is a shooting game made by a Canadian company. This game gets you a character and then you can buy guns, gadgets, head, legs, body, equipment and other good stuff. You can play multiplayer mode and you can play against players from the computer like Masked Viper, Mike Hunter, Vulcan Dynamite, Rocket Crush and many more. You can also play in different arenas like frozen bay, Palace Gardens, Chinatown and Nocturnal Snowfall but there’s more maps and the makers and more maps to it depending if it’s a special occasion . The guns are supers cool like machine guns, assault rifles, M.I.B (Men in Black) and Ghostbusters grenades and guns and there are the Elysium stuff. There are other super characters which are harder to kill and have better damage they are Bio Hazard, Whiplash, Eagle and other characters, you can tell they are the super characters because they are big , bad and outlined in yellowish gold. This game has more than million downloads ( now that’s a lot). RATING 9/10 Wildlife Chameleon Written By: Scott Morris All animals have a distinct feature different from other animals and for the chameleon it’s camouflage. Being reptilian means that the Chameleon has scaly skin and cold blood. A chameleon camouflages because of a reflective substance in their skin, meaning that if they walk through grassy fields the colour reflected on their skin is the grassy green colour of the fields and if the chameleon walks through a dessert it will turn sandy yellow like a dessert. Chameleons mainly eat meat. But how they eat this meat is also outstanding, they shoot out their tongues to a maximum of 30cm and catch their prey on the tip of their tongue. Chameleons also haver a special type of saliva that means their tongues are extra sticky. Chameleons live in areas such as anywhere from Madagascar to India. They live in grassland habitats or dessert habitats. Chameleons have the greatest sight Of any reptile because of the structure of their eye their eyelids are completely made up of scaly skin with a hole in the middle. This keeps the chameleons eyes extra moist and able to see easily. I hope after reading this article you have a better understanding about chameleons, I hope you know what extraordinary creatures they are and if you ever are lucky enough to see one then take the time to look at it’s majestic beauty.

Animals aren’t just creatures that live on the earth ,but, however incredible beings, with each one being different to the last. The glass frog is possibly the most extraordinary creature on earth, it’s ability different to every other animal is that it has a shocking appearance. You can see it’s internal organs! From it’s brain to it’s intestines every single organ is visible, it’s skin on the underneath of it’s body is completely transparent. Glass frogs live along rivers they are small ranging from 3-7.5cm. They live in countries such as Ecuador and Mexico. There top is lime green. Glass frogs lay there eggs on leaves, this leaves the eggs vulnerable to parasites but it’s the safest option. If they laid there eggs by a river, the eggs would be good prey for animals. After being born the amphibian tadpoles fall into the area of water underneath the leaf they were laid on and begin there lives. The glass frog like most other frog’s eats small insects like ants that are found nearby the river, if they can’t find any small insects, they will eat nearby plants. The glass frog is truly an amazing creature with an incredible appearance, they are wonderful to look at and if you ever see one look at It’s great body because it will provide you with wonder. Fantasy Origins Dobby Written By: Matthew Spires Spoiler Alert This could be maybe the best character in the whole Harry Potter series and his name is Dobby, a free elf. Before Dobby was a free elf he was enslaved by the Malfoy family who would beat him and punish him but he secretly goes to Harry Potter to tell him not to go to school and this is how they meet . Dobby becomes great friends with Harry, he even gives Dobby clothes ( when you give a house elf clothes they become a free elf) Dobby besides being a house elf for the malfoy family also worked in the Hogwarts kitchen in the book. But sadly all good things come to an end and Dobby died. R.I.P Dobby, a free elf. But now the facts, are in the book and movie “The Deathly Hallows”. The writing on his grave was “HERE LIES DOBBY, A FREE ELF”. He was born on the 28th of June, the year is unknown. He is 3 foot, and obviously male. He died but Dobby will always be remembered in our hearts. He died a valiant death protecting Harry Potter and his killer was Belatrix the Strange. R.I.P Dobby the Free Elf HE WILL BE REMEBERED Vehicles Bugatti Chiron Written By: Eddie Hodgkiss (by Volkswagen). It was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show on 1st March 2016. it is said to cost $2.5 million. It has a 8 litre W16 quadturbocharged engine which produces a whopping 1500 horsepower! What! If you don't know much about cars that is incredibly quick. It does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds! The exterior design is already amazing until you find out, like the Veyron, it has a fully carbon fibre body making it indescribably light. Combine this with the 1500 horsepower you have a beast of a car! With stats like that you would already expect it would be worth the hefty price. But you still haven't seen the interior. With leather chairs and amazing steering grip with a whole host of buttons to play around with, this car is serious and fun at the same time1 With Bugatti already working on another sport car. The Bugatti Chiron will probably fall behind. That’s quite sad as this car is amazing in everyway and everyone at The Scribbler loves it as much as me. Head-to-Head Koenigsegg Vs La Ferrari Written By: Theo Roberts Today on Scribbler I will be doing the 2003 Koenigsegg vs the 1995 Ferrari Koenigsegg La Ferrari Max Speed: 240 Max Speed: 217 0-60 -3.5secs 0-60 –6.3secs Miles per Gallon 14 Miles per Gallon 29-35 Cost when New: £43741387.34 Cost when New: £1 628 000 Horsepower: 233 Horsepower: 499 Cool Rating : 9 Cool Rating: 8 And this time the Koenigsegg has beaten the Ferrari by just 1 point, a very close victory! Sport The FA Cup Written By: Kushal Kota The FA Cup 2016/17 is an action packed English cup . The last winner of the FA cup was Manchester United in 2015/16. My personal favourite Premier league club and ex-FA cup winners 12 times. They beat Preston North-end 2-1. The FA cup is one of the most famous cups in the history of the world. Its been going on since 1871 (that’s a MAD 146 years a century and 46 years). While the FA cup still rolls on the Premier League is starting the new season . Now probably most of you readers now that the FA Cup accepts clubs that can be in the premier league and other English league. The FA Cup is sponsored by Emirates the plane company . The FA Cup trophy is a piece of silverware that weights a MASSIVE 6.3 kilograms (that’s a lot for a trophy). The FA cup compared to the BP league trophy I think that the FA cup beats the BPL trophy . The cup is won loads of times to be PRECISE it has been won around 145 times by Premier league teams and non-Premier league teams. The FA cup is probably the best English cup in the world. I say it is a good cup, what about you. I would rate it 9/10 Sport Premier League Week 20 Written By: Eddie Hodgkiss As you may know, Chelsea are 5 points clear at the top of the league, with Liverpool quickly catching up, even after their disappointing draw with Plymouth in the FA Cup’s third round.

Well we went and interviewed them! We interviewed 7 boys in total and had got some great responses! with the history lesson, lets get back on track. Normally with workshops they would be done in a large area like a sports hall or a theatre but they had it in the two year three classrooms. The boys were working in We asked the boys a few ques- groups and the boys really enjoyed tions, and overall all the boys it, and I must say myself it was very thought it was fun. The workshop interesting to hear about. was run by a woman from the AnWho knows we might even glo Saxon museum called Kathe- have some of these boys in the rine. The workshop consisted of Scribbler soon! the boys using their drawing skills and knowledge of the Anglo Saxons to do drawings of ancient Anglo Saxon items. The boys had actually felt the feel of the Anglo Saxon armour and clothes that the Anglo Saxons wore, which were 1550 years old as the Anglo Saxons where in England at 450 AD. Anyway I’m done Around the School Chess Tournament Written By: Matthew DeDominicis A few weeks ago there was a chess tournament at Lochinver House School (our school) and our team played against lots of other schools. The way it works is that a team of 4 would play another team of 4 from another team and then they would take down the scores, and that would be 1 round. There would be 3 rounds. I got some interviews and stuff... so here they are. Max Turner “It went really well, although I won it was still quite difficult” Santi Shima (the team Captain) “We have confidence in our team and we hope they do the best that they can” Henry P “We hope our team can prevail through this challenge” Harry Rughoo “It went well, but the opponent was good” Next I interviewed Mr Sharland, who runs the chess team “We’ve had chess tournaments for 28 years and had over 500 matches, we’ve had 6 under nine matches and there are 68 children in the teams, and Santi Shima is our Captain and we have children from years 3 – 8 in our teams”. Fantasy Origins Azrael Written By: Matthew Spires This character to put it in words is awesome, he is Azrael. This character has appeared in a lot of media such as a show, 2 video games and of course the comics. Azrael would usually carry a flaming sword in gold and red armour. Azrael actually was Batman, for a bit. The reason he was Batman was because (spoilers) Batman’s spine was broken due to Bane. And Azrael took the mantle as you can see in the mini picture below. Sadly Azrael did not have the cowl for that long as he was breaking the moral code for Batman. There are many incarnations of Azrael some not as good as the others, in some he is mysterious, unknown. But in others his origins are known. This type of change can be due to The New 52 which was caused due to Flashpoint (that was a great story I recommend you check it out). This change of origins/character is very famous an example of this could be The Joker, he came from a genius to a wacky goon to a criminally insane lunatic. But overall Azrael can be seen through many incarnations and none of them are better than each over but no matter what this character is awesome. Fantasy Origins Darth Vader Written By: Sebastian Forsyth Vader is actually Anakin Sky Walker, a famous Jedi who turned to the Dark side he married senator Amidala but Vader made her have a heart attack after having a baby. the actor of Vader is Hayden Christenson. Vader is a Sith who can choke people with the force. He returns to the galaxy in a New Hope, and Rouge One. He has minions called Storm Troopers they are merciless and leave no one alive wherever they are there. Vader's master is Emperor Palatine who is the master of Sith, he taught Vader the techniques of a Sith, which is kill, kill, kill, kill and battle Jedi and kill the rebels. He scarified himself for his son Luke. He is a bad guy with goodness in his heart Quiz Who is Vader's identity ? What colour is his light-saber? Who is his son ? Cool rating 9/10 Science Flexible Screens Written By: Matthew DeDominicis Imagine if you could just roll up your TV and watch it while in the car. Imagine if you could roll up your desktop computer and take it wherever you go. Well that’s what a company called Plastic Logic is working on now. Instead of regular LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) the wrap ‘n’ go screens consist of OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diode). Before this the transistors (the thing that tells the pixel to light up) had to be made on glass sheets because the transistors were made up of materials like silicone. “What we’ve done is create a completely new kind of transistor that’s made out of plastic — out of polymers in solution,” explains Cain, one of the people working on the new technology. The transistors can be printed onto a surface, so that they coat it, using a process that takes place at room temperature. Plastic transistors can make displays “virtually unbreakable”. You can drop them and they won’t break. The displays can also be only a few cello-phone (they’re like cling film) layers thick. Plastic Logic’s transistor sheets are able to bend with curves “well under 1 millimetre radius of curvature,” For you to understand what that means imagine a really sharp pencil, and the point at the end is 1 millimetre., and apparently they can bend to that angle without damage. But there are still some problems, like they will need some sort of coating or barrier to protect the displays. In my opinion this sounds really cool, and when they come to market, I hope I’ll be able to get one! Science The Human Brain Written By: Scott Morris If you didn’t have a brain you wouldn’t be here, reading this article right now, in fact you wouldn’t be alive, in this article you’ll find out about: the different parts of the brain, how it controls you, brain diseases and how to cure them and the systems of the brain. The human brain is made up of 6 min parts as shown in the picture below, and these different parts are made up of cells, neuron cells (brain cells). The 6 parts of the brain are: the frontal lope, this decides the difference between good and bad and what is right, the temporal lope, which helps you here and have a better idea of the surroundings around you, the brain stem, which joins the brain to the spine which helps you move, the cerebellum which also helps you to move, the occipital lope which makes you see and the parietal lope which makes you feel. To move, your cerebellum sends a message through the spine to the body part you need to move. Brain diseases can be from anything such as Alzheimer to Brain cancer some of these can’t be cured however the ones that can be cured are cured through Surgery (physically changing the brain by hand) or through special medicine. The brain is a part of the central nervous system which controls how the body moves, and the neuro-immune system which helps heal you , I hope you now know about the brain.

He had been here for “thirty-three wonderful years”, he is Mr Tindale. teach” we also asked whether he had to come back and teach he would not be a deputy head, just a maths teacher so he could go on school trips and football. Mr Tindale was the deputy head of the school and a maths teacher he says “He would love to come and teach again, but that part of his life has moved on”. Even though he has left the school he still can communicate with us he says “technology is advanced and he can talk to friends he has made”. Of course while he was gone he did lots of travelling, he bought a Motor Home and had a wonderful time. He also did lots of athletics and golf, and he doesn't have to wake up at 6:15 in the morning! Overall Mr Tindale was a great deputy head and teacher and I am sure everyone would love for him to come back and teach again! At his time at Lochinver he organised so many events its hard to count, he motivated all of the school to work hard and he read to the receptions.
