A blue Subaru was found in the Waimana river just below the Waimana east bridge. It was found at around 9:30am on Thursday 18th April. Firefighters say that there was no one in the vehicle when they found it. The spokeswoman suggested that it had been left there overnight. Police found that it was there since  3am after the driver took a wrong turn and crashed into the safety barrier. The woman was sent to hospital to be checked after the crash.

Opinion: I think that there should be some police cars patrolling country roads to prevent these accidents from happening in the first place, the woman was probably drunk and was driving unsafely.

Liverpool Football Club insists that Luis Suarez is not for sale. They are confident of keeping hold of Suarez as he is their star striker. The manager, Brendan Rodgers, has belief that Suarez is loyal to the club and won't consider leaving any time soon. Luis is  the leading scorer so far in the premier league with 22 goals.

Personally, I don't think that Suarez should leave, he is loyal to the club. He is also my favourite player and Liverpool is my favourite club. I think that he is their main point of scoring goals, and I am sure lots of other fans don't want him to leave.

Facebook has recently created a series of commercials. The creators have had a play around by making short movies, these movies/commercials have had nothing to do with Facebook. They are about an at home man who has never heard about the product, his family talks to him about it and what advantages it has. Facebook has found that making short movies is not the ideal way to advertise and users have commented saying that they have enough advertisements on other popular sites.

I think that Facebook has a great advertising system and do no need any more as it is unesasary.

You need to work on each homework task for at least 2.5 to 5 hours. It should like it was done by a year 8 student. The product you make (if relevant) should look good quality.

At an auction on Saturday 7 April a phaser gun from the famous movie Star Trek was sold. It was sold in Los Angeles along with lots of other props from the original movie. The top selling object was the phaser selling at $231,000 with a reserve of only $50,000! The directors from all of the famous movies around this era gathered to bid and sell items.
I think that would be an amazing phaser to own and you would have to love the show to bid at over $200,000 dollars.
