Chinese Evacuate Vietnam

Anti Chinese riots broke out in Vietnam and China began evacuating the country in fear of what might happen if they stay. The conflict is derived from China drilling for oil in sea ranges that belong to Vietnam, which is affecting them and their ships. This liberty that China took is not slipping by the Vietnamese and people, so the oil drilling in zones belonging to Vietnam will have to be put to a stop. Time will tell what kind of repercussions China will have to face after this and how invasive acts like this will be handled in the future.

Pilot Killed in Stunt

A pilot with 50 years of trick flying, over one thousand performances, and the International Council of Airshow's Sword of Excellence under his belt crashed his plane during a show and was killed. This astonished many people as they watched his plane go up in flames. It took firefighters over three minutes to bring water to the scene and put the fire out. The response time in this is questionable, as is how this unfortunate accident was made by such an experienced flyer.

Harry Potter Author Regrets Relationship Between Ron and Hermione

In 2011, JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series said that she had seriously considered killing off Ron Weasley , and just recently confessed something else. She states that she really regrets putting the romantic dynamic between Ron and Hermione. She says that she did it as a form of wish fulfillment and not as a from of good literature. She hopes that it doesn't break anyone's heart, but it was more of personal reasons than anything else, and if she could go back and change it she would.  It's interesting to wonder what kind of story Rowling has that mirrors the relationship between Ron and Hermione.

Japanese Fishermen Slaughter Dolphins

On Tuesday Japanese fisherman killed dozens of dolphins that were hunted in the Taiji cove even though there have been numerous protests from the west against this kind of action. To hide what they were doing from the activists and journalists, the fishermen used a blue tarpaulin that partly hid them. This is something that Japanese fisherman have been doing every year. Some of the dolphins are sold to marine parks while others are killed and used for meat, and the remaining are released. The way in which the dolphins are handled is very inhumane. It's interesting with the concept of hunting to determine when it is okay to hunt and when it is considered morally wrong to kill these animals or take them from their natural habitats.

Brain Dead Woman Kept Alive Due To Pregnancy

At fourteen weeks pregnant, Marlise Munoz was found lying on the kitchen floor unconscious in the middle of the night by her husband, Erick. The hospital informed him that she was brain dead. It has been seven weeks since and the hospital has kept her alive in hopes that she will still deliver the baby. Her family doesn't want her to remain on life support, but it would be against the Texas Advance Directives Act to take her off. It will be interesting to see what happens with this case, and if the baby will be delivered and healthy.

Syrian Electronic Army Hacks Skype's Twitter

Skype's Twitter account was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army to accuse Microsoft, the company's owner, of colluding with governments to share user data. When Skype regained control of its account it didn't deny what it was accused of posted a vague apology for being hacked. Last year Microsoft was already called out for conspiring with the National Security Agency and its prism surveillance program. It's scary how much information is being inspected without our knowledge. With the internet being used by practically everyone, it's an easy way for to be on the lookout. It will be interesting to see how people respond to this invasive move.
