World Cup by: Alex Goedhard
On July 13, 2014 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Germany’s and Argentina’s international soccer teams faced off to decide who would be the 2014 World Cup champions. In the Maracanã stadium in Rio, both teams were prepping for the most important soccer match of their lives. The attendance at Maracanã stadium was 74,738 people and, everyone was excited to see what their favorite team could do.
The soccer match started off as a stalemate, both teams defending were unstoppable, which made it hard for scoring opportunities. Both teams seemed to have equal possession, but Germany was taking a lot more shots on goal.
On the 88th minute mark, Germany made a game-changing substitution and brought the 22 year old forward in, Mario Götze. Mario was a very young, but extremely talented soccer player. He was Germany’s secret weapon. Finally the match ended 0 to 0, so they went into overtime.
Forward Andre Schurrle was having a great run down the left side of the field. He put in the cross to Mario Götze. Mario volleyed the ball off his chest and sent the ball into the net. Goal!!!
That goal was the game winner and Germany went home with the trophy. It was a very intense match and a lot of pressure was on the players, but Germany deserved it.

HoloLens by: Talia Weiss
Breaking News!! On January 21, 2015, the new CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, introduced the ground-breaking new Windows operating system, Windows 10. It was announced at their HQ in Redmond, Washington.
If you were wondering why is this so important? Well, along with getting rid of the start screen, it includes holograph technology! Now, if that doesn't excite you, what will? As said before, it does get rid of the start screen and reverts[vl4] to the old start menu, but you still have the same interface as the Windows 8 Menu the right of the tab.
In one of the three demos released, you see a woman on skype with a plumber, who is drawing on his tablet and the woman sees it with the hologram glasses. In the other, you see a man walking around his Minecraft holograph world, and using blocks of TNT to blow a hole in his wall.
By now, you must be wondering when you can get this cool upgrade, and how much it costs. Well, upgrading from Windows 7 or 8 is free, and the HoloLens (the glasses you see holograms through) is yet to have a price. Microsoft has said that they are releasing the program around Christmas 2015.

Kababo by: Arella Yuan
BOOM! As the T.N.T goes off, Kababo is on the run. As the rain covers his tracks, he slowly gets away.
It was December 12, 2034, in the city of Bobo, and Kababo was just entering a grocery store. The clerk waved at him, and motioned him over to the counter. When Kababo reached the desk, the clerk said, “Follow me,” and so being the usual Kababo, he went with him. The clerk escorted him into a dark room. Kababo knew something was going to happen, but didn’t say a word. Then, everything blacked out.
Was Kababo really in danger? When Kababo woke up, he was again, in the grocery store, at the desk, a little drowsy from earlier. After a couple of minutes, he realized that everything in the store was gone. The clerk stole everything, and he had to cover his tracks, so he left Kababo, to make it seem it was him. The police started to file into the store, and took Kababo into custody.
The police asked Kababo a few questions. “I didn’t do anything!” “Yes you did. You stole everything in the store.” Kababo did not respond, afraid the police might accuse him of other nonsense. Because he did not respond, they put him in jail. While the guards were asleep, Kababo escaped, and that brings us back to the beginning.
Still today, December 25, 2034, Kababo is still not found. The police are investigating in Kababo’s jail cell, trying to find clues. There is still, no evidence on where Kababo had gone.

Are you excited or frightened? Tomorrow, you will see the enjoyment of Henry. Good day and look forward to tomorrow”, signed by Henry from the Future.
(5 Minutes before the Disaster)
Caution, Caution all who here. The disease will take effect in 5 minutes. Hold, I’ve just acquired a message from The Secret Intelligent Corporation. “Everyone, we have just picked up an emergency alert. The disease has shown signs of change over time. It will evolve into another stage, this type is far worse. Henry is calling it Parking Lot Tantrum. Here are all the facts we know so far: everyone in the world will be infected with the Mad Cow Disease at 9:00 AM. It was created by the mad cow who calls himself, Henry. He did this for his own amusement. It will occur on planet Earth. It will change into a stronger stage in which parking lots and cars will turn into a baking soda and vinegar explosion. The Disease will happen at 10:00 AM. The Mad Cow Disease (Stage 2) is now the main part of our news. Everyone be on your toes.
