A new discovery of the past has been found by the archaeologists. The discovery was a medieval ship from a Dutch riverbed where this piece of history had lain beneath for half a millennium and no one had noticed it until now.

The ship was discovered by some construction workers during an underwater investigation whilst preparing to excavate the port. The vessel is believed to have been a trading ship, used to sail the Baltic and North Seas. The wreck was Built with metal joints, and is strudier than a lot of other contemporany finds.
They encased the ship, that is so big (20-metre by 8-metre) in a specially constructed metal frame, raising all 40 tons from the water with the help of experienced divers, and the delicate remains will be kept at the Newell and Heritage Centre in a specially designed station keeping it wet at all times.

Technological conflicts vith Apple

This new is about how technology is affecting our society. With the fact that explains this news we see the real huge power thw technology companies have, that is that big that can deny the FBI requests.

The Apple boss Tim Cook, In an interview on the ABC News with David Muir, has hit back the FBI over the handling of the court order to help unlock the iPhone of San Bernardino killers Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik. 

The Apple chief defended the company’s decision of do not comply with the FBI's order to remove security blocks on the attackers' device, and he did it by comparing the change on software the FBI was ordering to a disease.

“The only way know would be to write a piece of software that we view as a sort of a software equivalent of cancer. We think it is a bad news to write. We would never write it, we have never written it. And that's what is the stake here.

If we knew a way to get the information on the phone, that we haven't already given, if we knew a way to do this, that would not expose hundreds of millions for other people’s issues, we would obviously do it.”
Conflicting polls suggest the American public's divided, but Cook is remaining firm on his position.

Amazing Wingsuit competition!

This is a Wingsuit competition called "The Red Bull Aces". At this competition, 40 competitors flew 2.3 kilometres above ground level at speeds of up to 257 kilometres per hour, obviously this sport is only practiced by a very specific and reduced group of people, this sport is not for everyone.

To win the contest, four flyer heats race through a slalom course of 112-foot (34 metres) pylons hanging from helicopters.

The winner of the second edition of this competition was Andy Farrington and he was from America. With the results he got, America defended his title from last year's competition, winning in only a 4/10 of a second margin. 

With speeds of up to 160 miles per hour (257 kph), this sport is certainly both dangerous and exiting!
