IS Car Bombing

In a Baghdad market there was a

people. This was one of the
worst recent scenes in Iraq's

Boy Hacks Instagram
Written By: Matthew Spires
This is quite a surprising article
because a boy was able to hack
into Instagram to find a bug for
bug bounty prize and was paid
10,000 for it which is pretty funny to think that a boy has this
amount of money but its probably been giving to his parents
(but if it has not gone to his parents, wow) but anyway the boy’s
name was Jani and he has the
youngest person ever so far to
receive the price from the bug
bounty. This is a big accomplishment and his parents might have
been proud but I am pretty sure
they weren't because of two reasons. The first is I Don’t think anyone in their wright mind would
be proud of their son being a
hacker. The next reason is that
their son is still three years behind in age then he should be because he is 10 years old and it
says in the Instagram terms and
conditions that you have to be 13
or over to use Instagram. Now
my opinion on this, I think that
Instagram ( or Facebook) should
make new rules to this bug
bounty and I think those rules
should be you need to be 18 or
over to receive the reward and I
also think that yeah the kid did
the bounty but they should not
of gave it to a 10 year old.

Plymouth Superbird
Written By: By: Louie Bailie
Hello again, this is the guy who
gave you Han Solo, A Super Star
Destroyer, and now a 1970 muscle car. Once again I am joined by
Chris the Boss in a new car
showdown. Today it’s the Superbird vs The Dodge Charger. Both
look very similar, yet have very
differing performances. However, The Plymouth Superbird
(mine!) is obviously superior, as
it featured in the legendary movie Cars, as The King. But now we
must move on to the section of
the stats. With an engine churning out 425 of the finest American horses, a 0-60 in 4.8 seconds
and with a top speed of 160Mph
this is a (surprisingly) amazing
piece of American craftsmanship. Not to be mean to the
American car industry, but
America isn’t exactly renowned
for their cars. However, this
piece of rather fabulous kit suggests otherwise. Although not as
widely sought after as a Dodge
Charger 500 Daytona, one model
still sold for $200,000 or
£137,893, so still is a valuable
asset to a collector’s garage. If
you want to be able to drive
around in a muscle classic, but
you don’t have £480,000, but you
can just about muster £138,000,
then this is the car for you. Alright, it is 40Mph slower than it’s
cousin, the Dodge, but it’s 0-60 is
a second better, making all the
difference in a drag race, or on
small, curvy roads. And anyway,
who would not want a car called
‘Superbird’? See you soon!

on average 5000 spines, I don’t

there's a debate on how many

They live for about 6 years and
in that time they grow to 16 to
35 cm and weigh 400 to 1,000g.
They live in woodlands, farmland and your back garden but
they are located in Europe, Asia,
and Africa. Hedgehogs have also
been introduced into nontraditional ranges such as New
Zealand.
Hedgehogs eat insects, slugs and
worms, they are full of delices

The Escapists
Written By: Ben Ethan Brierley and Matthew De Dominicis
Your mission if you choose to accept is to escape prison… about 6
or 7 times. That’s right any of
you that watch paulsoarjr (NO I
AM NOT TALKING ABOUT MINECRAFT) will know what I’m talking about. The Escapists. The only objective is to escape prison by
any means possible which includes going in vents, digging,
chipping (WITH A PLASTIC
FORK?!), beating up inmates,
knocking out guards and making
a mould of it, stealing guar uniforms crafting things and stealing all the resources of the prison. A lot of things to do. Anyway
this game starts of EXTREMLY
EASY with the first prison which
you could do in 1 or 2 days if you
got luck. I’m not joking by the
way. And then escalates to EXTREMELY HARD and in these
prisons there are loads of guard
with
stun rods instead of baton and
are instant kills/knockout, cameras, metal detectors and often
cell searches. Although this game
may get hard it is pretty fun IF
you know what to do and is pretty realistic because when you
knock out a guard (NOT telling
how) you need to make a mould
of his key then put molten plastic
to make a plastic key. When I
start my escape in the middle of
the night I normally fail then I
have to reload and try over and
over again and I always get so
nervous I can FEEL my heart
beat in chest. Generally I would
say a great game with a few minor glitches

IPhone 6S+
Written By: Aman Patel
What is so special about this relatively new incomparable phone? In this
article I am going talk about some of
them. Apple have really pushed
themselves to their limits, they have
changed the world of technology by
coming up with such fantastic ideas
and new additions to it other than
size. Even though it may seem that
the IPhone 6S+ is just a bigger version of it’s close relative, the IPhone
6S, it is not. Some of its special features is its size, even though it may
seem silly, when you take a photo or
any other mode the camera will cover a bigger area than the IPhone 6S.
Also this phone is the only one that
can turn horizontally and have the
apps follow it and also become horizontal., this also emphasises how big
t his new mobile phone is. iPhone 6s
Plus also introduce a transformative
new approach to photography called
Live Photos, bringing still images to
life by capturing a moment in motion. This is the most advanced
iPhones ever, adding a powerful new
dimension to iPhone’s revolutionary
Multi-Touch interface. IPhone 6s Plus
is everything — 3D Touch lets users
interact with iPhone in entirely new
and fun ways. IPhone 6s Plus will be
available in gold, silver, space grey
and the new rose gold metallic finishes. Today, Apple leads the world in
innovation with iPhone, iPad, the
Mac and Apple Watch. Apple revolutionised personal technology. The
colours that it comes in are Silver,
Gold, Space Grey, Rose Gold. I for one
prefer the gold as it is a posh colour
and you would like the look of it.

Phantom of The Opera
Written By: Alexander Georgiou & Alexander BenjaThe Phantom of the Opera
in French: Le Fantome de l'Opera is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. It was first
published as a serialisation in Le
Gaulois from September 23,
1909, to January 8, 1910. It was
published in volume form in late
March 1910 by Pierre Lafitte. The novel is partly inspired by
historical events at the Paris.
The Opera during the nineteenth
century and an apocryphal tale
concerning the use of a former
ballet pupil's skeleton in Carl
Maria von Weber's 1841 production of Der
Freischutz. Nowadays, it is overshadowed by the success of its
various stage and film adaptations. The most notable of these
are the 1925 film depiction featuring Lon
Chaney and Andrew Lloyd Webber's1986 musical. Opera singer
Christine triumphs at the gala on
the night of the old managers' retirement. Her old childhood
friend, Raoul, hears her sing and
recalls his love for Christine. At
this time, there are rumors of a
phantom living at the Opera and
he makes himself known to the
managers through letters and
malevolent acts. Some time after
the gala, the Paris
Opera performs Faust, with
the prima donna Carlotta playing
the lead, against the Phantom's
wishes.

Magic Tricks
Written By: Alexander Georgiou & Alexander BenjaSome students of magic strive to
refer to effects using a proper
name, and also to properly attribute an effect to its creator.
For example, consider an effect
in which a magician shows four
aces, and then, the aces turn face
up one at a time in a mysterious
fashion. This effect, recognized
as Twisting the Aces, is attributed to Dai Vernon, and it is based
on a false count invented by Alex
Elmsley. Some tricks are listed
merely with their marketed
name (particularly those sold as
stand-alone tricks by retail dealers), whereas others are listed
by the name given within magic
publications. Card Trick Melting
Card Illusion
Card Trick Magic. Make A Playing
Card Appear To Melt Through
Another Card.
This is a really good street magic
card trick where a card is seen to
visibly melt through another
playing card. This illusion is performed right under your audience's nose which makes it even
more convincing. Such is the
beauty of close up magic. In
magic literature, tricks are often
called effects. Based on published literature and marketed
effects, there are millions of effects; a short performance routine by a single magician may
contain dozens of such effects.
