Harry Potter author meets fans in New York

JK ROWLING admitted to fans she still dreams of Hogwarts, when promoting her new book on Tuesday.

2,500 of Rowling's readers were allowed to ask the smash-hit author questions at the Lincoln Centre in New York.  She spent most of her time speaking about her new book, The Casual Vacancy, which has been written for adults.
"I do still walk in and out of Hogwarts," she told the large American audience.  However, she later said she has no more Potter plans for the near future.  Ms Rowling did suggest that her next project will be for a younger audience, though!
In July, JK Rowling took part in the Olympic Opening Ceremony, reading a short section of Peter Pan.
Do you like her books?

What time is it?

Giant whale shocks whale watchers in the Antarctic

Whoops! The tail of a giant humpback whale could have knocked these surprised tourists off their boat.

The incredible moment in the Antarctic was captured on camera by tour guide Tony Beck, who was watching from another boat.
As the whale’s tail crashed back into the water, the boat almost capsized but, luckily, no-one was hurt.
Coincidentally, the two fins of a whale’s tail are known as its flukes – there’s no doubt that it was a fluke to get this picture and another to survive to tell the tale!  
Would you have been scared if you'd seen the giant whale? Tell us your thoughts in a comment below!

The Cool Firefly

By Chitra Padmanabhan

Firefly is just a name. They are actually very cool insects. And they are not even flies, they are beetles. They have a way of sending out light signals every now and then. If you see them at night on a tree, you might think it is a brightly lit Christmas tree. That is the kind of light these fireflies produce.

But the light they send out does not have heat, like the bulbs we use. The firefly's light is cold. Actually these beetles could be the most efficient bulbs if only we knew how to use them. For almost all the energy they produce gets changed into bright light - cool light.
How do they do it? The back portion of their abdomens are transparent. There are cells of crystals or chemical substances inside which get broken down by enzymes. Some energy is released in the form of light.
The fireflies send out light signals at fixed intervals. And the purpose behind it is to attract beetles for mating. But one firefly's signal is different from another's, depending on its sex and the type of family it belongs to. If a firefly sends a signal at a fixed interval but gets a response either too soon or too late, it will ignore the signal. It is like a perfect dance sequence. If you are faster or slower than your partner, the dance fails.
Fireflies come from two families of beetles. One family of fireflies is usually found in Europe, North America and Australia. They are found on trees. The other family of fireflies is found in the Pacific islands. There is another type of beetle which gives out a softer light. It is called the glow worm.

New species of frog discovered

Researchers working in Central America have discovered a new species of frog on their travels through the jungles of Central America.
A few of the frogs were found by scientists working in the Cordillera Central mountain range, in the west of Panama, between May-August 2010.
The new species is a member of the Diasporus group of frogs. Its full scientific name is Diasporus citrinobapheus – the citrinobapheus part is made of the Greek words for yellow and dyer, because the researchers found that their fingers were dyed yellow after handling the tiny creatures.
The frog is only 2cm long and, although it makes a one-note call similar to its close relatives, its call is more like a whistle than the sounds made by other Diasporus frogs.
The scientists wrote about their discovery in the new edition of ZooKeys.

One more year...
Just Fantastic!

Mind reading robot teacher built

A new mind reading robot teacher has been created that stops you from snoozing during lessons.

Tech whizzes in America say it uses special sensors to monitor a student's brain signals while they learn.

When the brain signals dip down, indicating that the student's not concentrating as much, the system sends a message to the robot.

The robot then raises its voice or moves its arms around on screen to get the student's attention back, just like a real teacher might do!

 

The Olympic flame arrives in Britain

(And it’s coming soon to a street near you…)

Eight days after it was lit in Greece, the Olympic flame arrives in Britain today.
The torch is due to arrive at Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose in Cornwall, on board flight BA2012 early this evening (18 May). It has been transported inside a special lantern, which should keep the flame alight during the flight.
The torch travelled across Greece, after being lit on
10 May at the ruins of the Temple of Hera in Olympia. This is where the Ancient Olympics were first held more than 2,700 years ago.
A 70-day torch relay across the UK will begin tomorrow morning (19 May). Starting at Land’s End in Cornwall, the relay passes through 1,018 places before arriving in London for the opening ceremony of the Games on 27 July.
The flame will be carried by 7,300 people, including First News reader Sarah Austin, who will be a torchbearer on 24 July (day 67) in Richmond.
The torch relay will pass within 16km (ten miles) of most people in the UK. Go to www.london2012.com/torch-relay/route/ to see where you can cheer on the torchbearers. Good luck to them all from First News!

The big day is here...

Junk food tax to stop obesity

The way to stop the UK from getting fatter is to make junk food much more expensive, experts say.

Researchers at University of Oxford say putting a special tax on things like burgers, sweets and fizzy drinks will put people off buying them.

More than 10 million people in the UK are obese and 30,000 die each year from problems caused by their weight.

The experts suggest making fizzy drinks five times more expensive would be one way to make people healthier.

A similar plan in America led to big drop in sales of sugary drinks.

There are already taxes on items like cigarettes and alcohol, so experts say this idea should be widened.

Researchers claim a tax on unhealthy foods could cut the number of deaths from heart disease by almost 3,000 a year.

There are no plans to bring the tax in yet and these are only suggestions at this stage.

David Beckham meets President Obama

David Beckham and his LA Galaxy teammates met with President Obama on Tuesday night.

The players were invited to visit the White House after they won the American Major League Soccer Cup.
President Obama joked with David about his age and fashion line. He said "It’s a rare man who can be that tough on the field and also have his own line of underwear."
Whilst at the White House, the LA Galaxy team presented the US president with his own shirt. They also joined First Lady Michelle Obama at a soccer clinic with children on the South Lawn.

'World's biggest dinosaur eggs' found in Chechnya

 

A group of builders in Russia's Chechnya are claiming to have unearthed the 'world's biggest dinosaur eggs.'

The discovery was made as the men were blasting through a mountainside to create a new road.
A team of geologists looked at the smooth, oval rock-like forms and it was not long before they began to believe they were staring at huge fossils.
The eggs range from 25 centimetres to one metre in size and more than 40 have been found so far.
 

However, not everyone is so convinced.

One Russian dinosaur expert, or palaeontologist as they are also know, doesn't think the eggs are real.

"Unfortunately, it's not true. Dinosaurs laid small eggs and they did not lay eggs while jumping about like mountain goats" she said.

Dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years, but new discoveries of their bones and eggs are still made today.

Chelsea beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final

Chelsea have won the FA Cup for the fourth time in just six seasons.

The Wembley final ended Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool but Liverpool didn't make it easy for Di Matteo's team.

Goals from Ramires and Didier Drogba took Chelsea ahead and despite Andy Carroll's second half goal giving hope to Liverpool fans that the reds might be back in the game, it was Chelsea who took home the silverware.

 

Finally next Sunday it´s Mother´s day.

Prepare her a special breakfast.

Say I love you mommy.

Kiss her as much as you can.

Labor Day, día del trabajo, es un día festivo federal que se celebra en Estados Unidos el primer lunes de septiembre. Tiene su origen en un desfile celebrado el 5 de septiembre de 1882 en Nueva York organizado por los Noble Orden de los Caballeros del Trabajo (Knights of Labor). Inspirados en un evento anual similar realizado en Toronto (Canadá). En 1884 se realizó otro desfile y los Knights of Labor decidieron hacerlo anualmente.

Otras organizaciones, mayoritariamente las afiliadas a la Primera Internacional, preferían el 1 de mayo, fecha que rememora el inicio en 1886 de una huelga reivindicativa de la jornada laboral de ocho horas y que había llevado a la Revuelta de Haymarket de Chicago, tres días después, el 4 de mayo. El presidente Grover Cleveland creyó que el feriado del 1 de mayo seria una oportunidad para desórdenes. Por tanto, temiendo que reforzara el movimiento socialista, rápidamente en 1887 dio su apoyo a la posición de los Knights of Labor y su fecha para el día del Trabajo.

Desde entonces a diferencia de la mayoría de los países, Estados Unidos celebra el día del trabajo en una fecha distinta.

Today it´s sunny but it can rain in any moment...
