    Are you a secret ginger?

    I watched a video about ginger people. The mystery in the video is sometimes non-redheaded parents have children who has russet or auburn-thatched hair. For example in some family in Manchester: their eldest son is ginger but the mother is blonde and the father is brunette. And also me and my sister are ginger too but our mother has brown hair and our father is brunette so how these can be real? Actually it can be real because you only need 2 gene. Genes name is MCR1. But it can’t be tested if you have 1 or two MCR1 gene so you can be a secret ginger carrier. If your mother or father is ginger you are probably a secret ginger carrier and if there is red in your beard you can be probably a secret ginger too. And then you can have a beautiful ginger babies. By the way I am just you don’t get terrified if you have these physical treats being a ginger is not a bad thing. %2 of the people is ginger and they have more resistible to knockout gas and pain than non-redheaded people. Also they can be easily seen in the crowd. Just like me and my sister :)

    Apple has been granted a patent for new EarPod headphones, which could hint at what's going to ship with the new iPhone 7.

    The new patent, granted on Tuesday, is for headphones that connect to an iPhone both wirelessly and with a wire. They can be used without being plugged in, but have a connector that lets you magnetically attach a cord to the earbuds and plug the other end into a jack.

    The worst aircraft disastern the world. Five hundred and eighty three people died because of one pilot being impatient. March 3 1977. It was a fogy day in Tenerife islands. The visibility was terrible. You couldn’t see anything and plus the runway lights were not working. Most of the flights were canceled or delayed and that made everyone angry. There were 4 communicating radar for between pilots and the controlers but 3 of them were not working. So everything was ready for a crash. There was a lot of flights from everyone and that day panam airlens were delayed because of bad weather and everyone want it to go to their homeland. And at the same time dutch airlens klm was doing taxi. The both of the planes were jumbo jets in other words they both carriying like 400 people. When panam got their passengers, it started to make taxi. Klm was on the runway where the panam was doing taxi. It was waiting controlers permission to take off. It took long time because the weather was bad and the pilot of the klm couldn’t wait anylonger and started to pick up speed. They couldn’t see the panam because of fog. Panam’s nose was on the runway and they started to turn through the runway. The co-pilot of the klm saw the plain but the pilot of the klm didnt even said anything because he thought that he can fly over the panam. When the klm saw the panam, pilot pushed to the gaz paddle to go away from the plane. And the co pilot of the panam knew that klm is going to crash into them so he went into the brace position. The pilot of the klm pulled the control panel and the nose of the plane went up bit the tail hitted to the ground and couldn’t take off because it doesnt have enough speed. The last words of the pilot of klm was ‘come on! Please god!’ And the last words of the panam’s pilot was to get out of this plane. The klm hit the panam and wxploded in the air. Nobody survived from klm. But in panam, the impact was on the left side of the plane and the people where sat in the right hand side were lucky and who suvived from the impact and the fire were sitting in the right hand side. Total 583 people died and this was the worst plane crash accident in the history.

    “Ten films to watch in March”

    This news is about the movies which will be in the cinemas in March. There is going to be more movies but these are the best qualified ones. According to Rebecca Laurance’s list first movie is “MIDNIGHT SPECIAL” .The story is about a father on the run with his uncommonly gifted eight-year-old son, aided by a sidekick and his ex-wife . Story has written and directed by Jeff Nichols, the film's car-chase plots morphs into a work of supernatural sci-fi with a large debt to Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. And the second movie in the list is “BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE”. This is the movie I had been waiting for. I you haven’t watched the trailer yet, you should do it soon because movie is coming. I personally think Batman is much more better than superman. This is DC’s the first live-action film to feature both characters on screen as well as other DC Comics favourites, including Wonder Woman and The Flash. Support comes from a heavyweight cast (Amy Adams, Holly Hunter, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane), with villainous duties discharged by Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor) and Michael Shannon (General Zod).The third movie is “THE PROGRAM” It is a documentary about the incredible rise and spectacular fall of Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong. And the fourth movie is “TRUTH”. Fifth one is “CEMETERY” which is between reality, dreams and myth. And the sixth one is “THEY WILL HAVE TO KILL US” The story is about Islamic extremists captured northern Mali in 2012, banning music and shutting down radio stations, one group of musicians decided to fight back. The seventh one is “ANOMALISA”. This is an nonstop-motion animation about the existential crisis of an author who finds that everyone around him has an identical face and voice; until he comes across Lisa, a stranger who has a unique face and appearance. The eight one is “THE WITCH” .The Witch is set in 1630s New England and concerns the terrifying unravelling of a family, as told by its young protagonist. The ninth one is “KNIGHT OF CUPS”. The movie will released 3 March in Portugal, 4 March in Turkey and 25 March in Finland. And the last one is “CLOVERFIELD LANE” That movie is about a woman who wakes from a car accident to find herself in a cellar. It's the cellar of a man who has saved her from a chemical attack. And I would also like to add 5th WAVE and ALLEGIANT for teenagers. These are the movies adapted by best seller science fiction books.

    Is your smartphone listening to you?

    They made a research about a suspicious question. Are our smartphones listening to us? But where is this question coming from? Some people say that they see advertisements poping out of nowhere on their computers when they say about something releated with those ads while talking on the phone. At the end of the researches they found out that you can easily listen to phone calls by downloading some computer programs. And that means probably they are listening to phone calls but it's not possible to find out the exact answer for our question.

  14. Republican Mitt Romney said US presidential candidate Donald Trump has neither "the temperament nor the judgement to be president",
    He accused Mr. Trump of bullying, misogyny and dishonesty in a speech in Utah on Thursday.
    "Prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished" if Mr Trump becomes the nominee, he added.
    Mr Trump has meanwhile mocked Mr Romney on as a "failed candidate" and a "choke artist".
    "I backed Mitt Romney," said Mr Trump, addressing a crowd in Maine. "You can see how loyal he is, he was begging for my endorsement."
    He said Mr Romney ran "the worst campaign ever" and should have beaten Barack Obama in 2012.
    Many senior Republicans are alarmed at the prospect of Mr Trump securing the nomination for November's election.
    Several members of the Republican national security community wrote an open letter describing Mr Trump's "vision of American influence and power in the world" as "wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle".
    "He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence," the letter said.
