Ibrahim Adamou's parents had just been killed in front of him by anti-Muslim in Central African Republic. Ibrahim was so scared; he decided to run away from anti-Muslim. Ibrahim just knew he has to keep running. Over 100 kilometres, his none stopping steps make him run to a safe place. They are many family like Ibrahim came under attack as they were fleeing west from violence earlier this month.

On Sunday just before Mass, four more new arrivals gathered on the steps of the church. One child was inconsolable and sobbed against a tree as other little boys tried to cheer him up.

There are many family in Africa suffered in hunger and pain. They don't have enough food to eat. They don't have a place to call home. I went Kenya to help kids there in 2013.To be honest it was a terrible trip, but I saw the real life in Africa.

Now, Ukraine's challenge run deeper that most people are divided by Ukrainian speakers and Russian speakers. Ukrainian speakers live in the west. They like to trend on EU; however, Russian speakers want to join Russia. It means Ukraine and Russia will combine to a new "Soviet." Most of the protesters are Ukrainian speakers because they want Ukraine independent country in Europe; not to be depend on Russia. Also, Vladmir Putin tricked Ukraine because he delayed Russia's energy supply to Ukraine. West suspended the meeting with Vladimir Putin. Both the West and Vladimir Putin didn't give Ukraine any supplies.

There are at least 100 people were died 300 were wounded in the gun fire. Ukraine president sent army to stop the fight between police and protesters. It was a disaster for Ukraine. Ukraine have to face a problem which is divided into two new countries. Obviously, the UN may get involved into this to solve the problem. If Ukraine cannot find a way to solve the problem, then this war will get worse.

Anti-government protesters  have surrounded the parliament and tried to break through the police . At least 18 people died, 388 wounded, including seven policemen, died on Tuesday.

The violence begins when protesters attack police lines and set fires outside parliament after the announcement of the president. Riot police respond to the violence by trying to push protesters off Independence Square. It was a mess in the Independence Square. Ukraine prime minister sacks army to stop the fight. 

Ukraine is facing a big problem. 1/3 of Ukrainian speaks Russian, they are more supporting Russia. 2/3 of Ukrainian speaks Ukrainian, they are supporting the UE. Ukraine have to face a problem  which is breaking to two countries. Look back the situation, no one has ever realized the situation will gone bad this far. Crimea has already officially a part of Russia. Ukraine is going to be separated in the next few months. Ukraine is a small country, Ukraine has to depend on advanced country like America. It is starting a war between Russians and Ukrainian. Ukrainian killed at least 70 Russians in Ukraine.

Algerian Hercules plane crashes, killing 77, 1 survivor

An Algerian military plane crushed in a mountain on Tuesday, killing 77, 1 survivor. The numbers of people killed is growing, now the newest result is 103 died. All people on the plane died. It might be an accident of the weather.

The crash site was on a mountain, it was about 300 miles from Algiers, the capital city. 

The plane has met with turbulence. 102 passengers include the crew all died on Tuesday. It was an unforgettable event not only for Algerian but also for all over the world.

The worst plane crash in Algerian history occurred in 2003, 102 people died, there was also a single survivor in that crash.

Accident happens all the time, but one thing we can approve is develop the security system, so people can have a safer trip. Weather is always the main cause of all kinds accidents. We can stop accidents, but we can decrease accidents. I suggest every country develop their security system. It's a responsibility of country's leader to give civilians a better life. Same amount of people died in 11 years, exactly the same number, 102 killed, 1 survivor. What's the connection between this two accidents? Did someone attack the plane on purpose? We still don't know.

While we were having dinner, a breaking news happen in Iraq. In Iraq, at least 19 people were killed and 19 were wounded just cross in Iraq.
Two people were killed and seven wounded in a car bomb at a marketplace in the Baghdad the capital of Iraqi. 
At the same time, another car bomb struck the army 50 miles away, one soldier were killed and three were wounded.Three passer were wounded by the bomb nearby the building and shops on the street.
In the east side, Iraq's eastern province of Diyala, three civilians were killed, including a child, and five others wounded in three roadside boobs in the early days. 

Killing each other is not the way to solve problem, but in human history, it seemed like the best way to cease fighting. Killing civilians is not necessary. Civilians are innocent. A child were killed in the bomb,many people were wounded. As I always say, " War is the progress that moves humanity." In humans history, bomb civilians is the worst thing. Britain bombed Germany city. America bombed Japan cities. It suddenly stop the war. War would never stop because we have different nations, politics, and religions. If they were one man in the room, he would make a decision. If they were two men in the room, they would fight for what to do next. If they were 3 or men in the room, they would pick sides, the stronger side would kill the weaker side for sure.

Subway agrees to end use of controversial chemical found not only in its breads, but also in shoe soles, rubber caps, and yoga mats. It's a breaking news, the problem of food safety comes out once again. 

Food blogger Vani Hari who successed petitioned to government to remove the Kraft cheese coloring in last year. There were over 5000 signatures to petition subway to stop using chemicals in its bread. 

In Europe, the chemical agent has been banned, but in North America, no one seems really care about our food safety. Subway said it is already in the process of stop using the chemical in its food. New products will come soon. After the chemical inside food news exposed, Subway is facing a big problem. No one would to buy subway in the next few months if Subway did not change at all. 

It's a risk to use chemical inside food. It may helps its taste, but it is harmful for human's body. Company should stop using chemical in its food. There are still some company use chemical inside its food, if everyone can care about ourselves, our children, we should stop using chemical. It's also again the human law, it is slowing killing people. There are some companies that use chemical inside food in China. It's so common in China. They put chemical in baby's milk power. It damages baby's brain, in some cases they change physically. It's a really bad idea to put chemicals in food, it does make the taste better, but what about our bodies?

After about 26 years of research the bone, German scientists have announced the bones interred in 1988 are most likely to be Charlemangne's. Aachen Cathedral is one of the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. Construction of this palatine chapel, with its octagonal basilica and cupola, began c. 790–800 under the Emperor Charlemagne.  After his death, he was buried in his church, but the exact spot is unknown. However, a group of scientists found his bones in his church, they started researching right after they found. After 26 years of research the bone, they confirmed the 94 bones taken from his resting place Aachen Cathedral are most likely be his bones. 
According to the data that the scientists have found. They estimate that Charlemagne's height is probably between 179 cm to 192 cm, so it proves Charlemagne was a tall man in that century. 
 


Not many people would know the poker card "K" is Charlemagne. Based on the biography of Charlemagne written by  Einhard. He dead because of forever at age 72. Charlemagne was the King of the Franks from 768, the King of Italy from 774, and from 800 the first emperor in western Europe since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire three centuries earlier.  People called him " The Father of Europe."


There was a famous emperor in China, his name is Cao Cao, he was buried in 1 of the 72 cemeteries that he built. He was afraid that someone would steal stuffs in his cemetery. It's good to find Charlemagne cemetery by the researchers because it does not fall into bad people's hands.
