When we think of Japanese food we think of paella, but the Japanese like sweets too. One Japanese artist, Osamu Watanabe, has made a pair of shoes from fake cream and sweets. He thinks that his creations make people happy. "EVERYONE LOVES SWEETS", he says.
The heatmaster of a school in England shocked his pupils in assembly... by EATING A TARANTULA! Mr Onac ate the cooked spider to raise money for a drama centre at the school. "It tasted salty, and little by little like burnt chicken", he said.

Writing: AN OPINION ESSAY
The government plans to introduce school on Saturday mornings aren't right ideas now adays, if they want to improves the level of education.
In first place, I believe that if the government aproves this law, most of students and the teachers, would feel worried about that. I think it's a good thing to have free Saturdays. Many years ago children had to go to school, but if the government make this day free, I think that was for a good reason.
If the aim of the government is to improve the level of education, they aren't right because the motivation of teachers and students won't be good.
As far as I'm concerned, it's good to don't go to school on Saturday morning, and have some of relax from school.

HISTORY OF PDV RACE
History of: “world championship PDV (Pont de Vaux) race”
The adventure starts in 1985 when a group of friends passionnate for motor sports supports
the Maingret Brothers in the organization of the first race in Pont de Vaux, their native town.
This first event was very successful among the riders of the time with 40 teams.
The trikes (ATC) the first machines to race in
Pont de Vaux were very unsteady 3 wheels machines, they brought great feelings for the riders. At the same time, the first quads are sold in Europa. Little by little quads will take the place of the 3 wheels, not very impressive on a such track. Very quickly one brand is distinguished from the other ones with a model which later will become emblematic : Yamaha and its Banshee 350 cm3, 2 strokes (a 20 years domination in Pont de Vaux with 14 victories).
For the organisers, the arrival of foreign pilots, Anglo Saxons (1990), and a few years later the venue and the immediate success of US teams will represent a watershed for the following events. Today more than 20 countries representing a 60 % of the riders are on the start line (110 teams are accepted).
If the machines have been modified at each event (frames, shocks...) for 20 years, Pont de Vaux has
been the favou- rite race of the 2 strokes (we still remember the high and angry sounds carried by the wind of the meadow)
Today with the 4 strokes adopted by the builders, the machines which are entering are very homogeneous
and it is very good for the competitveness between the riders.
New teams are pretending to the victory and very often the race is hanging in the balance at the last minutes of the last hour.
Today hyper sport models are marketed by the builders and several brands are able to shine at height of Pont de Vaux.
Every year, the organisers of the 12 Hours of Pont de Vaux are surpassing themselves with the event famous and loved all around the World.

IMAGE OF THE MONTH
A king penguin was not about to be intimidated by this giant elephant seal blocking his path to the sea. Instead, he slapped it with his flipper. But when the seal gave a huge roar, the brave penguin had to retreat and take the long way to the water. The encounter took place on the South Atlantic island of South Georgia.
GOLD TO GO
You never know when you might need some gold, do you? That's why not one, but two rival companies have introduced vending machines for gold. So far they are only in Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi, and there're a bit in Europe (where else?), but there're plans to introduce them in supermarkets and other stores across the USA.
