Heerlen & Landgraaf ? By Oscar, Tom & Jeroen, V1at
Heerlen is the city with the big glass palace and with the beautiful murals, the interesting museums, the attractions like the theatre and cinema, the big events and the fantastic Corio Centre, it’s great, it’s fantastic. And we speak with our wonderful dialect, it’s the best language in the Netherlands. And this makes Heerlen Heerlen.
Do you know the cities Heerlen and Landgraaf? Do you live in one of these cities? Then you must know about the ‘upcoming wedding’ of these cities. If you want to know more, please continue reading... When we heard about the the school newspaper, we really did not know what we wanted to write. But after thinking, we knew: The possible merger of Landgraaf and Heerlen. But then we had another problem. How do we write a great article? We have searched on internet for more information but that doesn’t really help we really don’t like reading a long text. So we were thinking again and again about how we do this. And then we have that the brilliant idea to contact the mayor of Heerlen. First we had to contact the mayor. So we went to the site of Heerlen-Landgraaf and found the phone number and after calling we arranged an appointment and the interview you can read later on. What do the people want, what does the mayor think? We asked them, you can see this in the next pages.
Landgraaf has the world’s largest indoor ski resort. They also have the best poetry festivals ever. With the longest row stairs of the Netherlands, 508 steps, it will become 248 meters high. And we should not forget PinkPop. Heerlen wants the merger, Landgraaf also wants it but not only between Heerlen and Landgraaf but with MORE cities. We asked eight people that work at Sintermeerten and live in Heerlen/Landgraaf the following seven questions: 1. Wat do you think of the merger? 2. If you were one of the mayors, would you 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
also combine Heerlen and Landgraaf? Wat do you think the consequences are for Landgraaf and Heerlen? Can you say one benefit about the merger? Can you say one disadvantage? Do you think other cities/towns are going to join? Do you think the town will get a new name?

Heerlen & Landgraaf ? Continued Miss Ledoux is positive and thinks that when there is a bigger town, it gets more money from Den Haag. Mr Johan thinks that the merger is a pretty good idea, because it means more influence in Den Haag. But he is a little bit afraid that the people of Heerlen and Landgraaf are going to lose their identity. Miss van den Berken also thinks that it is a good idea and if she was the mayor she also would like a merger, this is because miss van den Bercken thinks that the town saves much money. She doesn’t think that the new town gets a new name. Mr Frohn thinks that it is a good idea but the town should keep their own image, he thinks that it is a good idea because there are less costs, but doesn’t really like the idea that the identity from Heerlen and Landgraaf goes lost. Miss van Veldhuizen does not think that it’s a good idea because there are less shared facilities, and she wants to hold her identity as ‘Heerlenaar” and not as a citizen from Heerlen/Landgraaf and maybe other cities together. Miss Shouten also thinks that it is a good desision because we live in a region with a declining population. If she was the mayor of Heerlen she would also do it but when she was the mayor of Landgraaf she wouldn’t do it. Mr van Roekel likes the idea when the people benefit. He hopes that there are cost savings but thinks that when there is a bigger town, it is difficult to contact an official. Mr Lipsch is positive about the merger and hopes that when Landgraaf and Heerlen form one city, they get more subsidy, he thinks that another name is possible but that is going to happen later.
The reporters of this article have talked with the mayor of Heerlen, Mister Ralf Krewinkel, and asked him the following questions about the possible merger: What was the reason for the merger? The town Landgraaf asked the city’s Heerlen and Kerkrade to look how you can work together as best. What is your opinion about on the matter? I am very much in favour of a combined Heerlen and Landgraaf. Have there been merger talks before this time? Yes, before 2000 already. Will there be a new Town Council? Yes, after the merger. Do you think the same about the merger as mayor and as just a ‘normal’ person? Yes I do. What is going to be the new name of the new town? We don’t know yet, we need to wait for that. What are the things the towns are going to work om together? All sorts of things, because two cities will become one. Are plans like: renovations, money investment etc. going to be changed? That depends on what the new town is going to look like.

What are the benefits for Heerlen? The new town is going to be much bigger, so more influence and probably more money from Maastricht and Den Haag.
Found after 18 Years By Iza, V1at
Which preparations are needed before the two towns can merge? A lot! The council needs to make decisions. People from Langraaf and Heerlen want to protect their identity Do you want to be the new mayor of the town? Yes, despite the fact that it’s much more work. Why did Landgraaf say No and Heerlen say Yes? They did not really say no: they just want other cities in Parkstad to join the merger. One of the reasons might be because Heerlen is bigger, so the people from Heerlen are not as scared. Because Landgraaf is smaller, the people from Landgraaf are worried that they might lose their own identity. What is the city Heerlen going to do now that Landgraaf has voted No? We now have to wait and see. The Province will now research the possibilities and they will then reach a decision on how to continue.
We would like to thank the mayor for this interview! We had a great time writing this article. We have interviewed the Mayor. It was very cool. We really enjoyed it. We have worked as a team and finished it as a team. If we got another chance to do this, we would do the same thing. We think it was very funny to do and hope you also like this article.
In Jacksonville (Florida) was a little baby (Kamiyah Mobley) in july 1998 kidnapped. At the end of 2016 they found her alive in the state South Carolina. They knew it was the lost infant by DNA tests. When she was kidnapped she was just eight hours born. The suspect (Gloria Williams, 51 years old) was dressed as a nurse when she kidnapped the baby. She told the family the baby had a fever and went away to check the baby, but she never came back. The family thought she was a nurse, and the nurses thought she was family. There was no clear image of the kidnapper found on the security cams. And the security cam in the room where the baby was, was defect. So the kidnapper could easily walk away. There were also no clear pictures of the baby. The police spread out a drawing of the suspect and even promised an amount of 250,000 dollar to the person with the golden tip. But for 18 years the baby was trackless. This curious case is now solved and the kidnapper is arrested, she has to appear in court in about a few weeks. It’s not clear if the golden tipper has got the money, but it is sure that the girl is safe. Kamiyah may choose if she stays with her family or not. She met her parents for the first time at Saturday the 14th of January and it was very emotional. So this curious story has still a happy ending.

Chapecoense Plane Crash By Sem & Gijs, V1bt
On the 26th of January there was a benefit game for the tragedy of Chapecoense. The country’s Colombia and Brazil did played against each other. Famous Brazil players Diego and Robinho did make their comeback.
A football team on the way to a Cup final. It was supposed to be Chapecoense’s moment of glory. But instead of that the airplane crashed in Colombia. We remember the victims of the airplane crash in Colombia which killed 71 people. Including players, managers and staff from the Brazilian football club Chapecoense. Almost all clubs from all country’s kept 1 minute silence for Chapecoense. And most of the players weared a black mourning band. The club from Chapecó named Chapecoense won a lots of games in the cup. They won so much, that they reached the final. But on 28th of November they were in LaMia Flight 2933. It was supposed to be the final of the Copa Sudamericana against Atlético Nacional. The plane started from Viru Viru International airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. The destination was supposed to be José María Córdova International Airport, Rionegro, Colombia. Details are still emerging about how six people survived a plane crash is Colombia that left 71 dead, most of them players for Brazil’s Chapecoense football club. All of the survivors ate in hospitals near Medellin. Only two of them, crew members, are not in critical condition, doctors say. The other four are in intensive care. Miquel Quiroga, the pilot of the British-made Avro RJ85 aircraft, had been warned by an official Santa Cruz airport, in Bolivia, where the plane took off, that he might not have enough fuel. In stadiums across Brazil, fans from all the top division clubs held pictures of the players killed and sang Chapecoense’s traditional chants. Teams had special kits prepared for the occasion breathing Chapecoense’s badge.
The Portugal general manager of Chapecoense Rui Costa said on Tuesday 3th of January that the club found around 18 to 20 new players for in their team. The survivors of the crash Neto en Rushel also get a Jersey number. Other player Jackson Follmann survived the crash. But he could not play for his team because he had to amputate a part of one of his legs. The goalkeeper Danilo from Chapecoense was chosen for Player of the year in Brazil. In online voting among Brazilian football fans got Danilo 48 percent of the vote. The mother of the goalkeeper took the award at a ceremony in Rio de Janeiro. On behalf of Chapeco I want to thank everyone for their compassion and prayers and that the future warriors from Chapecoense the same will fight as the warriors we lost, said the mother when she get the award. Danilo made the key save in the last minute of the semi-final against San Lorenzo also for the finals of Chapecoense at the Copa Sudamericana. On the way to the final in they had a plane crash as you know, including goalkeeper Danilo. For the first time since the plane crash in November, taking almost the whole squad perished, played the Brazilian Chapecoense again with often hired players in the team in their own stadium against national champion Palmeiras. Chapecoense played their next game already. In the 90-minutes game the referee stopped the game after 71 minutes. (the number of people who died) In that time the players from both teams and supporters stood and clapped in honour of the victims, before continuing with the soccer-match. Before the kick-off from this game, families of the crash victims received their medals in their honour, and the 3 players who survived, received the Copa Sudamericana. This unbelievable tragedy should not happen ever again. We remember the victims for always. Forza Chape!

President Donald Trump By Stijn, V1at
On Friday the eyes of the world were on America when Donald Trump swore to be the country’s 45th President. But what will happen in the hundred days after Donald Trump’s inauguration? Will he deliver all those promises he made during the election campaign? Donald Trump’s inauguration as President of the United States looks as a big change for the country. What things is he going to change? Trump wants to tackle immigration. He is trying to give the people more jobs. He wants to change the climate in America, bring back the coal industry to make energy. The Obamacare will be replaced, but we do not know yet about Trump’s plans for this system. Trump promised the biggest tax revolution since the Reagan tax Reform (this was to simplify the income tax) and Trump is going to do that also now. And another important factor: he wants to build a wall. He wants to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, to get bad guys, criminals, drugs dealers and other kinds of these people out. This is what he said: “I would build a great wall, and nobody builds a wall better than I, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively”. We don’t know much about the cost of the wall, but the media thinks that the wall is going to cost between the 5.1 billion and 25 billion dollar. Mark Krikorian is an executive director for the Center for Immigration Studies. He supports more border fencing, but he sees challenges in Trump’s plan for the wall. Trump’s spokesman, Sean Spicer, said on january 26th that the president will incrase tax on Mexican imports with 20% to pay for the wall.
Although he later added that it was one of several options still is being considered. “By doing it that way we can do $10 billion a year and easily pay for the wall, just through that mechanism alone", he told journalists. But President Trump could use laws aimed at preventing money-laundering (for example: when a criminal does moneylaundering, the criminal tries to make it hard for the police to find out where the criminal got the money) to stop Mexicans working in the United States. So they won’t be able to bring money to their families in Mexico anymore. The sector is huge. About 25 billion a year. The hope is that the wall catches up threat. There is also an other way. Increasing cost for border crossing. Increasing visa costs for countries, that have a bad record on illegal immigration to the United States (including Mexico), would be popular among many republicans. With higher fees on cars and people who come in the United States, money can be earned. Donald Trump has five kids Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump and Barron Trump. He also has got two ex-wife’s: Ivana Trump and Marla Maples. Now he’s married to Melania Knauss-Trump. Donald Trump is going to the White House, but Barron and Melania Trump will stay in the Trump Tower. Melania stayed for two days in the White House when her husband Donald Trumpwas inaugurated as president of the United States. Now the first lady Melania has to live 321 kilometre away from president Donald Trump. The Trump team is noting when Barron Trump finished classes in June, he and his mother would move to Washington DC.

Rag’n’Bone Man By Vince, V1bt
TO MAKE HIM IMMORTAL. I have written article about Rag’n’Bone Man, who, for me, the best of the best is and I wanted everybody to think that way. So here is From then to now: Rag’n’Bone Man. Rory Graham also known as Rag'n'Bone Man started singing at the early age of fifteen. He together with a band called Rag'n'Bonez. When Graham moved to Brighton, his friend Gi3mo invited him to the Rum Committee. Graham started performing at Slip-jam B, where he met a lot of people who helped him to start his musical career. At the age of 19, encouraged by his father, Graham sang at a blues jam in a local pub. Graham got into the blues through his father collection of song, he had no musical training but learned by listening to, a sample, Muddy Waters. Graham’s moniker came from his childhood memories of him and his grandfather watching repeats of the British ’60 sitcom Steptoe and Son, about a pair of rag’n’bone men – dirty poor street collectors who in bygone days gathered up rubbish in an attempt to find useful rags, bones and scrap metal that could be sold to merchants for a few pennies. With his massive bulk, tattoo-covered arms, nose ring, shaved head, enormous beard and typical garb of hoodie and jeans, Graham looked like an escapee from an early-2000s nu-metal band but he blew the crowds away as soon as he opened his mouth with his deep, powerful, soulful, bluesy vocals.
Around 2011, Graham started working with UK hip hop label High Focus releasing a number of recordings with them such as; a collaboration E.P with MC\Producer Leaf Dog under the name Dog'n'Bone E.P. In 2014, working in collaboration with Mark Crew, Graham released an EP , Wolves through Best Laid Plans Records, containing nine tracks with guests including rapper Vince Staples, Stig of the Dump and Kate Tempest. The follow up, in 2015 was the Disfigured EP, also released through Best Laid Plans Records. Lead track “Bitter End” was supported, then play listed on BBC Radio 1 Xtra. His first hit single ”Human” was released on Columbia Records in July 2016. It has peaked at number one in the Official Singles Charts in Australia, Germany and Switzerland and has been certified Gold in Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Belgium and the Netherlands. It will be followed in March 2017 by his debut album with tracks produced variously by Two Punch Man, Jonny Coffer and Mark Crew. And in 2016 Rag’n’Bone Man won the Brits Critic’s Choice Awards 2017. Also he has a tattoo on his right hand saying soul and on his left hand saying funk. Although these are not his only tattoo’s, these are his most recognizable ones. He is also expected to sing on the Dutch “Pink Pop” in 2017. Although Rag’n’Bone man is not so popular as for example Ariana Grande, he still has a voice that will blow you away as soon as you hear it. So for everyone who has no idol, favourite artist or an man to look up to, we have Rag’n’Bone Man who is still rolling.

After a solo trip of the Minions last year, are former villain Gru and his helpers back in a new adventure. Along with agent Lucy, Gru must confront a new criminal named Balthazar Bratt. Super Villain Balthazar is not an ordinary criminal. He is a former child star that got a little bit stuck in the eighties. Not only his looks are crying out for an update, also his arms breathe nostalgia. But there is probably still something else going on… Extra: A dogs purpose This film is already released but even that it is a movie about how you need to treat them. But on Facebook and twitter and for sure also other sites you saw that that dog was mistreated while making a shot for the movie. The dog was really scared and tried to climb back but the trainer forced him into the pool. The pool was made so it looked like a wild river or something.

Social Media Guide By Lieke & Noor, V1bt
Social Media is now-a-days one of the most important things in our life. Almost everywhere you can see people using it. That’s why we thought it was nice to write an article about it. We hope you enjoy it! Hopefully you can learn from it ! WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA? Social media is a name for all internet programs where you can share information with other people. Most of the people use it for fun. Social media actually started with site pages where you could information and search about everything, but especially by companies. The companies took care of itself the information provided on the website. The one who visited the website could not add information. Nowadays you can add information on social media. There are lots of big social media companies, examples of them are Facebook or Instagram. You can create a profile and then you can post small pieces of text or photos. People can respond to it by posting a message or photo. Social media is always free to use. FACEBOOK Facebook was created on 4 February 2004. First it was called The Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg and a few other students had created Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg was 23 and earned a lot of money from Facebook. They studied on the Harvard College. So first only students from Harvard College could use Facebook. Later it was also for students from other schools. In 2006 anyone who was 13 years or older could use Facebook. Yahoo wanted to take over Facebook in 2006.
But Mark Zuckerberg did not sold it. In December 2008 was Facebook very big. They had 600,000 new sign ups per day. In 2009 they had 200 million active users and a month later 50 million more! In 2016 Facebook had 1.7 users. But how does Facebook work? You have an account and you can add friends and chat with them. But if you did something what you want to share you can write something about it and post it. And then all your friends can see it. You can also post pictures or videos. Your friends can see them as well. The place where your friends see everything is called a timeline. You can also put things on your private account, then you are the only one who can see it. YOUTUBE YouTube is an American website where you can watch and share video’s. Every minute, more than 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube.

INSTAGRAM Instagram is a free mobile app to post digital photos or videos. The pictures and videos can be digitally filtered and posted on social network sites, such as Instagram itself. Instagram delivered in contrast to the usual photos of cell phones (with a 4:3 aspect ratio) square photos, just like the "Kodak Instamatic’’ and the "Polaroid’’ camera. However, since August 2015 is the square resolution restriction lifted and allows photos of any size uploaded or edited. Instagram, what was launched on October 6, 2010, was first supported only for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. From April 2012 it worked also on smartphones with Android version 2.2. In November 2013 it also worked on Windows Phones. Instagram is distributed through the App Store (iOS), Google Play, and Marketplace (Windows Phone Store). In April 2013 was support for uploading videos added. However, this is not possible on all phones. In April 2012 bought Facebook Instagram with its 12 staff members for around $1 billion in cash and stock and it was planning the company under independent leadership. At the time, there were more than 30 million registered users of Instagrams website for photos. the acquisition was approved by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission in August 2012. Hopefully you know more about Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat and Instagram for example how it was started. We thought it was very interesting to make. And we hope that you enjoyed it!

World War Z: The Sequel By Yannick, V1bt
The people from Jerusalem think that they are save because a big high wall protects the city. To get help from god, they pray and sing loudly. But the zombies are very sensitive to loud noise and they make one big pile of zombies to climb over the wall and attack the citizens of Jerusalem. Gerry Lane, who was also there, noticed that all healthy people are attacked and bitten by the zombies except for an old injured man and a small ill-looking bald boy.
*** WARNING! SPOILER ALERT! *** You probably know the animal-like zombies from the successful movie World War Z (WWZ). WWZ was a great (and scary) blockbuster movie, and in June 2017 the sequel is expected to be released: World War Z 2! The movie World War Z (based on a book from writer Max Brooks) from Paramount pictures was a big success in 2013. The movie earned a lot of money: $190 million dollar, which is also a reason to make a sequel. The director of the first movie was Marc Forster. For the new WWZ2 movie another director will be chosen: most probably it will be Davis Fincher, who was already successful with the movies Se7en (1995), Fight Club (1999) and Panic Room (2002). The story of WWZ is based on a zombie-virus, which originated from animals in Taiwan, but which also started to infect humans. Quickly, the zombie-virus spread around the world. It even reached New York City and other parts of America. The only place where people were save for the infection was on the water. Only a small group of people were rescued by bringing them with helicopters to big aircraft carriers. The most people of the world were infected by the virus and changed into zombies. The main character of WWZ, former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (played by Brad Pitt) was saved together with his family. He is forced to join a team that has to investigate how the spreading of the virus could be stopped The best scene in WWZ is probably the scene at the wall surrounding Jerusalem.
Later he realises that this is the key to defeat the spreading of the virus by the aggressive zombies. Healthy soldiers get infected by a non-deadly viruses, so they can safely get close to the zombies and kill them. Although the sequel WWZ 2 is said to be released in June 2017, not many information of the new movie is clear. It is still guessing what the second story plot will look like. However, it was already revealed that a big part of the new movie will take place in India. That is because India was one of the countries which was most affected by the zombievirus, a was described in the book by Max Brooks (but not captured in the first WWZ movie. Paramount Pictures also released that WWZ will become a movie trilogy, so next to the upcoming WWZ2 in 2017, was may even also look forward to a final movie WWZ3 movie that would end the zombie-virus story. Paramount Pictures says: ''View 'World War Z' as a trilogy that would have the grounded, gun-metal realism of Matt Damon's Jason Bourne series tethered to the unsettling end-times vibe of AMC's 'The Walking Dead'". The release has been postponed. According to Variety, Paramount is hoping to release the film in 2018 or 2019, according to an insider. The original release date was always a stretch given that June is a few months away and not a single frame of film has been shot.

Best League in the World? By Danté, V1AT
AFC Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City entered as the three promoted teams from the 2014–15 Football League Championship.
The most watched league in the world, the Premier League is seen as the “best’’ league in the world. It has a lot of competition as the LaLiga Santander, also called the primiera division (Spain), the Bundesliga (Germany) and the Calcio A (Italy). The Premier League is an English professional league for men's football clubs. Contested by 20 clubs, it uses the system of promotion and relegation with the EFL Championship (England’s second league). Also Welsh clubs that compete in the English football league system can qualify. At the end of the 1990/91 season a plan of a new division was created that would provide even more money in football. On July 17, 1991 an agreement was signed in the then top division by the clubs which the first step was put towards the FA Premier League. The new top division would have commercial independence from the FA and the Football League. In 1992 the First Division clubs withdrew from the Football League and the FA Premier League was formed on May 27, 1992. This meant an end to a period of 104 years with four divisions in the Football League. The Premier League would operate as a single division and the Football League as a competition with also two divisions below it. The 2015–16 Premier League was the 24th season of the Premier League since its establishment in 1992. The season began on 8 August 2015, and was scheduled to end on the 15th of May 2016. Chelsea began the season as defending champions of the 2014–15 season.
In the previous season (2014-2015), Leicester City spent much of the season in the relegation zone before a late run of form propelled them to a final position of 14th; remarkably, a year later they won the league for the first time in their 132-year history, becoming the 24th club to become English football champions, and the sixth club to win the Premier League. One significant feature of the Premier League in the mid-2000s was the dominance of the so-called "Big Four" clubs: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United. During this decade, and particularly from 2002 to 2009, they dominated the top four spots, which came with UEFA Champions League qualification, taking all top four places in 5 out of 6 seasons from 2003–04 to 2008–09 inclusive, with Arsenal going as far as winning the league without losing a single game in 2003–04, the only time it has ever happened in the Premier League. Manchester United have won 20 titles, the most of any club. United's rivals Liverpool are second with 18. Liverpool dominated during the 1970s and 1980s, while United dominated in the 1990s and 2000s under Sir Alex Ferguson. Arsenal are third; their 13 titles all came after 1930. The Bundesliga has recently become fashionable and boasts the reigning European champions. La Liga currently plays host to the most recent World Cup winners as well as the two most outstanding players of this generation. Despite all this, the English Premier League remains the most powerful league in the world. It is easy to choose for the Premier League for its great quality and uncultured football. Everything can happen and a lot of money is spend on transfers each year. If you put this all together you can definitely see that the premier league is the best league in the world.

..or is it the Bundesliga? By Bram & Marnix , V1at
On this moment Christian Pulisic and Ousmane Dembélé are the biggest talents. Aubamyang is also on fire and a lot of clubs want him in there team. Bayer 04 Leverkusen is based in Leverkusen and is established on the first of July in 1904. Bayer 04 Leverkusen never had won the lead titel but a couple of times they end a second. The stadium is called the BayArena. One of the biggest talents is Benjamin Henrichs and also a big talent is Jonathan Tah.
In this artricle we are going to talk about the Bundesliga. We going to have it about the biggest clubs , the talents and how many chance they have to win the title. First we going to have it about Fc Bayern Munchen. Bayern Munchen is based in Munich , Munich is one of the biggest cities of Germany. Its established on the 27 of February in 1900. The stadium of the club is called the Allianz Arena. On the 16 of January they stand on the first place whit a lead of three points on RB Leipzig were we going to talk about next. The biggest talent of Bayern Munchen on this moment is Renato Sanches , he’s only 19 years old and also Boateng has developed well. Now we going to talk about RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig is based in Leipzig and is established on the 19 of May in 2009. As you can see on the date that they are established is the club only a few years old and nevertheless they play already in the Bundesliga. They doing it very good at this moment because they are standing on the second place. One of the biggest talents is Timo Werner. It’s time for BVB. BVB also called Borussia Dortmund is based in Dortmund. Shalke 04 is also based in Dortmund. But now about bvb. It’s established on 19 of December in 1909. The stadium is called Signal Induna Park. They are by top five. They got also a lot of talents not only this year but always.
Fuβallclub Gelsenkirchen-Shalke 04 better known as Fc Shalke 04 or S04. Fc Shalke 04 established on 4 may in 1904. The stadium of Fc Shalke 04 is called Veltins-arena but the original name is Arena Aufshalke. Something special about the Veltinsarena is that the field is shiftable. One of the biggest is talents is Breel Embolo. Fc Augsburg is based in Augsburg, Beieren. The club is a combination of BC Augsburg and TSV Schwaben Augsburg that happens in 1969. The stadium is called WWK ARENA. The best place in the Bundesliga they ever had was fifth and that was when the club was for the first time in the Bundesliga. One of the biggest talents on this moment is Marco Richter. Now we are going to write a short text about the Bundesliga itself. The Bundesliga is a professional association football league in Germany and the football league with the highest average stadium attendance worldwide. The Bundesliga count eighteen clubs. The German football champion is decided strictly by play in the Bundesliga. Each club plays every other club once at home and once away. One of the most important matches of the year is Der Klassika when Bayern munchen plays against BVB. This year a lot of people think that Bayern Munchen going to win the lead titel I (Marnix) think that also. But we don’t know maybe Bayern Munchen make a big mistake and RB Leipzig take the lead that is what I (Bram) think. We can’t suggest because the Bundesliga is the same as always , unpredictable.

X box One S vs PS 4 Slim By Rick & Dylano, V1bt
Nothing. It really depends on whether you like the dual shock or the Xbox controller. If you have a friend with a Xbox or a PlayStation you should try the controller and see if you like it. We think the Xbox controller is nicer to hold but the dual shock has nicer joysticks. There are also a lot of awesome controller mods you can buy on the internet. If you don’t like the colour or something else you can probably find the solution you need online.
Have you ever wondered what the best small game console was? We’re going to find out. Microsoft released the PlayStation 4 slim the 15th of September. Xbox released the Xbox one-s a month earlier on the 2nd of august. Both Xbox and PlayStation wanted to make a smaller console that you could take where ever you want. The graphics are a bit higher and it is a bit smaller. Exactly what they were going for. For the gamer that likes a good processor they didn’t change anything because in the PlayStation there still is their 8 core 1.6 GHz “jaguar” AMD and Xbox have a different 8 core 1.75 GHz AMD. The GPU of the Xbox s is set at 1.4 teraflops and the PlayStation is set at 1.84 teraflops. So the CPU of the Xbox is better but the GPU of PlayStation is better. The controllers are not different than their bigger brothers. The PlayStation still has the dual shock and the Xbox has the same controller as before. What can we say about which one is better?
( all prices are from the Mediamarkt) The PlayStation 4 slim costs €298,- and the Xbox one s costs €329,-. They both cost more than the normal consoles but they cost less than their bigger and better brother( PlayStation 4 pro and Xbox project Scorpio). The size is one of the biggest reasons why you should buy a smaller console. But how small are they? The PlayStation has a length of 26. 5 cm a height of 3.9 cm and a width of 28.8 centimetres. You can take it wherever: by plane, by car or even by bike. The Xbox one s has a length of 23 cm and a height of 6.4 cm and it has a width of 29.5 centimetres. It is a bit bigger than the PlayStation but it is still smaller than the normal Xbox one. They don’t look very special but that means they are small which also means you don’t have to pay more money when you go by plane. This is very handy when you travel a lot and want to play games on your favourite console wherever you go. They have mods just like the controller. If you want a extra fan for your console, the internet got you covered!

The PlayStation doesn’t have 4k support on anything. The Xbox kind of does have that but only for video playback. So you can’t play on either Xbox or PlayStation while looking at 4k. It sucks if you have bought an expensive 4k monitor or TV because you cannot play video games on these with 4k. If you just got into gaming or don’t have enough money for a pc these are very good options. But if you do have enough money and time to buy and install a pc you probably should. You can always upgrade a pc and it has a very good CPU and a GPU with 4k support on all your favourite games. If you want a high performance console you should buy a PlayStation 4 pro or a Xbox Scorpio when it comes out. Also a good option is to buy a new PlayStation 4 because it is a bit better than the original. It is pretty much the same console with some better specs. It has a HDR drive so that’s pretty cool and it is a bit smaller. Both the PlayStation 4 slim and the Xbox One s can fit nicely into your gaming setup because they really are very small. They fit onto any desk or TV table. You have small closets in which you can fit these consoles. If you want to know for sure it fits
you can buy a small console like the Xbox or PlayStation to fit inside your setup. The normal consoles are bigger so than you don’t know for sure if it fits. If you still don’t know which one to pick we still have one more thing to talk about: exclusives. What are exclusives? exclusives? They are games only available for either Xbox or PlayStation. The PlayStation has Nathan Drake with the uncharted franchise. This is a 3rd person shooter in which you play as Nathan Drake who is kind of an Indiana jones copycat. But he isn’t afraid to shoot a gun. The Xbox has the Halo franchise which is a first person shooter. It has a very good multiplayer which is very fun to play. The space theme makes it very interesting with all the possible guns, armour and enemies. Our conclusion is that if you want very good graphics for games you should buy the PlayStation but you should buy the Xbox for a better processor. The smallest console is the PlayStation and fits best into your gaming setup or bag. The controllers feel very responsive and feel nice to hold. So which one should you buy? We think you should buy the PlayStation 4 slim because it is smaller and a better CPU.

Grand Theft Auto VI By Tim, V1bt
*** WARNING 18+ *** Gta 6 what can you tell about it. What is real and what is fake that’s one of the big questions inside the game world. One of the main questions is when the game comes out. Most people think it is in 2018 or later. But nobody knows for shore when the real release date is or if the game is not coming out at all. People want from gta 6 a couple of things they want a female main character in the game. And they want better vehicle diversity. Gta 5 brought back bicycles. But people want to have stuff like rollerblades and skateboards added in gta 6. There are also people want the adding of fuel gauges to make the game more realistic like you have to check your fuel if you are traveling around the world or if you need to change car inside a big chase. Much people want also a bigger world with more than one city with also a story trough both cities. But they want also more side jobs and more different side jobs. They think that the side jobs need to become much more important. And that they instead of incidents witch minor characters need to become more like lower tier storylines witch personal issues of the main characters.
The same can be said for the citizens. GTA 5 was an amazing game, but at times the city felt oddly empty. You can exchange insults and expletives with the pedestrians roaming the streets, but apart from that they were just placeholders. In RPG games such as Skyrim, npc’s always have a purpose whether it’s just a story to spin or to actually give you a side quest. Even if the gta 6 npc’s only offer you the occasional fetching or protection mission, it would add another layer of realism to the game. Perhaps there’s potential for the npc’s to be more interactive with your protagonist in another way. Imagine yourself lying at the side of the road, bleeding profusely, and a helpful passer-by calls you an ambulance or gives you a med-pack.
Gta 5 for Xbox One, PS4 and pc introduced an optional First Person Shooter (FPS) mode for the game. It’s a great way to have a really immersive gta experience and it's impressive that Rockstar has implemented it in such a way that it’s possible to play through the whole game in first person. It certainly changes up the combat system and driving sections of gta 5, but we realise it isn’t perhaps the best way to enjoy the game from start to finish. Although it might not be for everyone, the FPS option should definitely be available to everyone from the off. Then you can decide how you play the game and customize your viewing angle to your particular playing style. So all by all this is all I goanna tell you about gta 6 I hope the game come out fast if that day start I think I will not play it but it will not take long I hope you enjoy the game and that all players will like it and the chances I told about will also be added to the game.
Gta 5’s San Andreas is a very big map bigger than the last three gta games and red dead redemption combined but bigger doesn’t mean more interactive when you drive through San Andreas you will realise that isn’t much to do outside of missions, side quests or the Strangers and Freaks meetings.

Watch Dogs 2 Review By Bas, V1bt
*** WARNING: SPOILER ALERT *** The game Watch dogs 2 released a few weeks ago. It’s the next game from the Watch dogs series. In this article you see a little story and my review about this game. Watch dogs 2 is a game about hacking the world. It’s an open world game where you can do almost everything you want. You can hack, you can shoot and you can ride. The previous Watch dogs game let you see about the hacking world but this one is a step further than that. You can do all kinds of missions: Main missions, side mission, online mission, etc. The game is set in San Francisco. Then we have the Dedsec ( the hacker group) bunker. That’s the place where you can meet the whole team: Sitara, Wrench, Horatio, Josh. ( later in the game with a new member: T-Bone). In the bunker you for an example an 3D-Printer, you can print: weapons, drones, jumper (small controllable car) and you can customize those things too.
The story: Marcus Holloway a guy that knows all about hacking he can literally hack everything: a car, a camera, a whole city network, etc. The first mission is that Marcus meets a group: Dedsec. They want to save the world from the network: Blume. Blume is a network station that can do a lot of things. They can see: your camera, your own network, etc. Dedsec thinks that Blume has over a few years all the information of anyone from San Francisco. So that’s why they have to choose a new member for the team. His first mission is to hack CTos 2.0 (a system installed by Blume) because his data and everything has to be wiped out so he can hack without being recognized by the cameras.
When he completed the mission they celebrated that there is a new member in the team. Then they are going to begin from the beginning. His first mission is to go to the park and hack someone’s phone. The next mission is that he has to steal data from a movie but the only problem is that it is secured in a film studio. When he got the data, he got back to the hackerspace. Next we have the mission: Cyberdriver. The mission is about that Dedsec wants to be more famous so more people know about them. So Marcus has to steel a special car from a movie. But there is one problem the police has the car so Marcus has to steel it. When Marcus has stolen the car he brings it to the group and they are going to pimp the car so it looks nice for the video for internet. It is a car that can drives without being controlled by the driver. So they decided to do a cool stunt with it. When the video has gone viral they begin with a new mission. Next he had to help someone and therefore he had to do a e-kart mission to help him to get disciplined to race again. The next mission is that Marcus has to go into a building and make a video about what is under the elevator of secrets from Jimmy(a man that first for the bad people and now for the good people). First he has to ask to Jimmy where the building is. Then Marcus goes to the building and sneak in there. Then he hacks the elevator code and makes a video about what is really in there, just all fake stones. The next mission is that Marcus has to paint on a few building/boards the Dedsec logo so everybody can see their name, So they maybe get in the news again. The real exercise is that he had to paint the logo on the Golden Gate Bridge. Hope it turns out fine. If you want to know if their plan to take Blume out will succeed. Then you have to play the game your own.
My review: Watch Dogs 2 is a fantastic game if you like sort of GTA games. It has a good story line. The only thing I don’t like is that some mission are not in a real order, so it is more difficult to see what the whole Storyline looks like. But overall that’s not kind of a problem. It’s also nice that there are also side and online(multiplayer) missions so you can play the game a lot longer. So In mine opinion I would give the game 4,5 stars because it is a nice game with a good Storyline.

Relaxation? Meditation! By Ilya & Teun, V1bt
HISTORY Meditation is often used to clear the mind and ease health concerns like high blood pressure, depression, and anxiety. Another use Meditation is to harness your inner energy, this has a few names like Ki, Qi, Pranav etc. The history of meditation is intimately bound up with the religious country within which it was practiced. Some authors have even suggested the hypothesis that the emergence of the capacity for focused attention, an element of many methods of meditation, may have contributed to the latest phases of human biological evolution. Some of the earliest references to meditation are found in the Hindu. Wilson translates the most famous Vedic mantra 'Gayathri' thus : "We meditate on that desirable light of the divine Savitr, who influences our pious rites. Around the 6th to 5th centuries BCE, other forms of meditation developed via Confucianism and Taoism in China as well as Hinduism, Jainism, and early Buddhism in Nepal and India.
WHAT IS MEDITATION? Mediation is a state of thoughtless awareness. It is not an act of doing its a state of awareness. WE either intestate or we do not, regardless of what we are doing. True mediation is a state profound, deep peace that occurs when the mind is calm and silent, yet completely alert. It is the beginning of an inner transformation that takes us to a higher level of awareness. This enables us to fulfil our true human potential. WHY MEDITATE? For thousands of years people have used meditation to reduce stress from bad thoughts and emotional upsets and find peace and awareness. The variety of meditation techniques, traditions, and technologies is nearly infinite, but the essence of meditation is always to find mindful awareness and expanded consciousness. People initially starts with meditation for many different reasons.

Some begin meditating because of a doctor’s recommendation, seeking the health benefits of lowered blood pressure, stress reduction, and restful sleep. Others come to meditation seeking relief from the fearful, angry, or painful thoughts that constantly flood their mind. Still others come to meditation to find greater self-understanding, to increase their intuitive powers, or to improve their ability to concentrate. Anyone who meditates regularly receives profound benefits on all of these levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. SOME BENEFITS • Relief from stress and anxiety (meditation mitigates the effects of the “fight-or-flight” response, decreasing the production of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline) • Decreased blood pressure and hypertension • Lower cholesterol levels • More efficient oxygen use by the body • Increased production of the anti-aging hormone DHEA • Restful sleep New research is also showing that meditation restores the brain. A landmark study conducted by Massachusetts General Hospital found that as little as eight weeks of meditation not only helped people feel calmer but also produced changes in various areas of the brain, including growth in the areas associated with memory, empathy, sense of self, and stress regulation. HOW TO MEDITATE? There are many different ways to meditate but they all have the same outcomes, reduce stress, increase calmness and clarity and promote happiness. This summary won’t provide a detailed study of all different ways of meditation. It just explain a simple practice available to all. Setting aside time for formal meditation in order to establish a routine and get comfortable with the practice is very important. Even if it is just a few minutes a day, it can make a big difference. Meditation isn’t about trying to empty your mind. Instead, the practice involves paying close attention to the present moment — especially your own thoughts, emotions and sensations — whatever it is that’s happening. When your mind is wandering, simply notice what it is you were thinking about or what was distracting you, then take a moment and pause.
In order to focus you can train your attention on the breath. Another method is the body scan, where you systematically focus on different sensations and areas, from the head to the toes. MINDFULNESS VS. MEDITATION A recent form of meditation is mindfulness. Though the words are sometimes used interchangeably, there is a clear distinction between mindfulness and meditation. Mindfulness is the experience of being open and aware in the present moment, without judgment, criticism or mind wandering. Mindfulness meditation is the practice of actually being present in the moment, which in turn trains us to become more mindful throughout the day, particularly during difficult situations. Mindfulness is the awareness of what’s going on in the present moment without any judgment. Some tips if you want to start meditating Tips so simple, yet very effective to have a deeper meditation experience: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Choose a convenient time Choose a Quiet Place Sit in a Comfortable Posture Keep a Relatively Empty Stomach Start With a Few Warm-ups Take a Few Deep Breaths Keep a Gentle Smile on Your Face Open Your Eyes Slowly and Gently
Did you know by spending just a little time preparing for your meditation, you can actually have a deeper experience in meditation? The question about ‘how to meditate and especially, ‘how to meditate at home’ become easier when you prepare yourself. Used Sources: Wikipedia, Artofliving.org, New York Times, there are definitely Sites we didn’t name and we are really sorry about that.

Food for Thought By Lai & Zoë, V1bt
You might think meat is healthy but actually it is not very good for you that is why you don’t have to eat is every day, but you still need it. (100 grams of meat is 0 grams of sugar!!! But it is not very good for you because there is a lot of fats in it.)
I like food as much as you do but is it healthy what I am eating? We are going to talk about candy, vegetables, meat, drinks and sugar. Let’s find out! FOOD Food is something people eat every day. We all like to eat it but we need to be careful because otherwise we are not healthy anymore. It is not bad to eat candy and fast food but it is also not good. Of course you can eat is but if you eat too much it cannot be very healthy. So you need to watch out about what you are eating!!! CANDY Everyone loves candy but is it healthy? There is much sugar in candy but how much? Each different candy has different amount of sugar in it. It is not wrong to eat candy’s because you do need sugar but not too much. (100 grams of candy is 52 grams of sugar!) VEGETABLES Not everyone loves vegetables but it is healthy and that is why you need to eat them. You don’t always have to eat them because too much is also not so good. (100 grams of vegetables is 3.1 grams of sugar!) MEAT Meat is something you might eat at dinner. Some people love it some people don’t we call them: vegetarian. If you are a vegetarian you don’t eat meat because you don’t like how they make the meat.
DRINKS Everyone needs drinks because otherwise you will die. We cannot live without drinks. Some drinks are good some are bad. Most of the people like cola but there is a lot of sugar in it. Not everyone loves water but it is good for us and we all have it at home. You can sometimes drink cola or ice tea but please do is not the whole day long. (100 grams of Coca Cola is 9 grams of sugar!) SUGAR Sugar is not the best thing you can eat but you still need it. Sugar also makes you a little crazy. Some people have diabetes. In diabetes, the body cannot keep blood sugar balanced. Sugar is in almost every food because you need sugar. Some people thing they are too fat and want to lose weight. But watch out if you lose too much weight you can have anorexia and that is not very good for you. So just eat it but not too much!!! VIDEOS Here are a few video’s you can watch if you want to know or see more about food: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnfTHsdTodA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J1hmmy1OB4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzvN9FLx4Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFlnlGx0B5U
Do you prefer a hamburger with cola by the McDonalds, or do you find a salad with water anyway healthier? Both of them are delicious, but how do you know that what you eat is and was REALY healthy? We can help you!!! When you want to know more about you and your food make than sure you read further.

FAST FOOD Maybe you recognize the following situation: you just came back from a day of hard working and you have no sense to make a meal for yourself. So you just buy a hamburger by the McDonalds…. But actually it is the 3rd hamburger you have eaten this week! Okay, you promise yourself you will train it off tomorrow, but the next day you had no time to train so you eat again a hamburger and promise yourself again you will sport it off tomorrow……I think you know what happens the next time. This happens more times than it should be. People say they don’t eat as much fast food, but they actually do! People know it isn’t good for you because off all the fats. But when people eat so much fast food, what do you think the next generation will look. A survey has shown that 1 in 2 obese children at a later age keeps sitting and experiencing seriously overweight or obesity’s like?
The labels are put on it, so… READ THEM! You can buy a lot of stuff in the supermarket, you can buy almost everything in there! But when you buy something, do you actually really know what is in it? For example chicken breast, you think you know what is in it, chicken of course and some herbs… But there also added sugars, fats, oils or extracts in it. So when you buy something make sure you read the label carefully!
Is it important that the meat you’re eating was healthy? Yes, it is! Just imagen there is a… Cow. And it lived all his life in a stable, getting lots of antibiotics and too much food to make him fat so we can eat more. Do you thing that would make your body feel better and healthier? Or do you think you would feel better when you eat meat from a strong cow, who has no antibiotics and had space to play and graze? That’s why it is healthier to eat meat from animals that were healthy too. But how do you know what you eat is from a healthy animal? That isn’t that difficult! There is organic meat, but that does not says it all. If a cow organic grains and soy has eaten, then this still not as healthy as a cow that has eaten grass, but that’s a better choice than normal meat. But just make sure you eat meat from a healthy animal! CONCLUSION it is important to eat healthy but only eating salads and water isn’t the solution, you have to eat: Fiber, dairy, fruit and vegetables, meat of (or something that takes the place of meat)! but ones or twice a week going to a fast food restaurant does not really matters as long it won’t get much more!

The Candy Page •
By Remco V1at
According to WikiPedia, Candy, also called sweets or lollies, is a confection that features sugar as a principal ingredient. The category, called sugar confectionery, encompasses any sweet confection, including chocolate, chewing gum, and sugar candy. Vegetables, fruit, or nuts which have been glazed and coated with sugar are said to be candied. This is the top ten most eated candy in the world: • •
• •
•
•
Hershey Bar -- Classic. Perfect. No improvements necessary. 9. Twix -- Others have tried, but Twix masters the perfect ratio of chocolate to caramel to (my two favorite words) biscuit finger. 8. Butterfinger -- Crisp, smooth, heavenly. 7. Gummi bears/worms/etc. -- Bears are the classic, but sometimes I get in the mood for gummi worms. And gummi cherries. And gummi brains. One day, you'll be able to buy anything you want in gummi form. 6. Kit-Kat -- Buy one crispy candy, and it's like you're getting four! (Bonus: catchy theme song.) 5. Reese's peanut butter cups -- Though I've probably eaten thousands of them in my lifetime, I still get excited when someone gives me a Reese's peanut butter cup.
4. Twizzlers -- My go-to movie snack, every single time. • 3. Snickers -- Hands down, the best candy bar ever created. (It also has the best name of any candy bar.) • 2. Hershey's Kiss -- Just enough milk chocolate to help you get through the day. • 1. M&Ms -- Yep, the No. 1 candy melts in your mouth and comes in peanut, dark chocolate, pretzel and other varieties. The simple treat dates back to 1941 and, no matter what advances in the candy business await us, it will certainly be around for a long time to come.
HISTORY Between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE, the Persians, followed by the Greeks, discovered the people in India and their "reeds that produce honey without bees". They adopted and then spread sugar and sugarcane agriculture. Sugarcane is indigenous to tropical South and Southeast Asia, while the word sugar is derived from the Sanskrit word Sharkara. Pieces of sugar were produced by boiling sugarcane juice in ancient India and consumed as Khanda, dubbed as the original candy. Before sugar was readily available, candy was based on honey. Honey was used in Ancient China, Middle East, Egypt, Greece and the Roman Empire to coat fruits and flowers to preserve them or to create forms of candy. Candy is still served in this form today, though now it is more typically seen as a type of garnish. CHOKING DEATHS Hard, round candies are a leading cause of choking deaths in children.[40] Some types of candy, such as Lychee Mini Fruity Gels, have been associated with so many choking deaths that their import or manufacture is banned by some countries. Candy is still very famous all over the world and I think it will stay forever.

Jack Russell By randy, V1at
Why I choose Jack Russel Terrier \parson? I choose Jack Russell terrier/Parsons Because: I have a Jack Russell terrier/Parson and I like him therefore I want to write over this kind of dog. WHAT IS A JACK RUSSEL? A Jack Russel is a small working dog. The jack Russel comes from England. The word terrier comes from the Latin word meaning terra. The work of the dog was going in wild underground to e.g. A rabbit to chase out of the cave. But that was before. Now they are only used as a pet, and that may be because these dogs with children can handle. A Jack Russel has a lot of movement, but he also needed. He also likes a lot of attention. The beginning of the jack Russel In the 19th century England. Reverend john Russel. Purchased a perfect hunting dog. Named: trump. And was inspired to breed dogs.
PET OR WORKING DOG jack Russel terrier by his cheerful and lively character a beloved dog that can be done with it. This little terriers is a special friend of children. If a jack Russel is bored it can be a real wrecker and maybe your rabbit, cats, chickens either to nail your furniture. He's actually a working dog, but is now used as a home dog. CARE Try to wash a jack russel not too often. They have a protective layer under their hair and if you frequently wash jack Russel you touch this option. The nails do not have to cut as often by the many races and exercise wear this one off.

She is a little bit bigger than a normal jack Russel because he is crossed with a terrier and terriers are bigger than normal jack Russel.
