Man dies after house fire rescue in Chelmsford

A 40-year old man and a 33-year old man were rescued after a house fire at the Galleywood Road in Chelmsford. The 33-year old man is being treated for breathing in smoke. The 40-year old man died in hospital. The smoke alarm did not go off, because the smoke alarm did not contain any batteries. The fire service still does not know what or who started the fire. They suspect that nobody did this on purpose. The police said that nowadays people should be aware of this kind of situations. It is important to place a good alarm system at home to prevent such incidents.

The strange thing is that they did not find a suspect or a reason that started the fire. It was bizarre that the alarm did not have any batteries. If people place an alarm system in house, then they should also place batteries. The fire service said that no one would do this on purpose without even investigating the case properly. You cannot say something like that if a research has not started yet. In my opinion this news item is not reliable. I think that some information was missing.

Facebook changes are not enough say groups

The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) says that Facebook needs more alternatives than the internet page has now. Nowadays more people have Facebook because it is safer and more private than internet sites like “Myspace”. The changes of the site are good, but they need to increase the safety options. Simon Davies says that Facebook has a monolithic approach, means making friends on the internet, also called as monolithic approach. Facebook wants to give the users more control and safety on their profiles. People should be able to control their area against the non-members, who can always look on their profile.

I agree with the ideas about what they want to change on Facebook. I am also a member of Facebook, but if Facebook has more privacy on people’s profile, then it would be more reassuring. The non-members can also see your private reports, unless you hide some information from your profile. The friendship on Facebook is very open if people make contact with each other. Everyone can see each other’s comments, videos, pictures, etc. It is a nice way to have contact with friends and family. In general, I would appreciate if there are more options to protect your own profile

'Why I love my ID card'

The national identity cards (I.D) will be destroyed in the future, because the government said that these cards are costly, unneeded and unwanted, but John Kirby indicated that the card is very useful. He tells us that the personal information on the card is important. Kirby was the first person when this card system was available in his country. He was totally attached to his card. Now the government will destroy the identity cards and John still thinks that this system of destroying the cards is a backward step of the government.

If the cards system will be ended, it would be a big problem for society. Most people have an I.D card, because it is smaller than a passport and very useful because you can show it easily when necessary. A passport takes in more space than an I.D card, it is also more fragile. I agree with John on his opinion about this issue. I believe that other people think the same as John. I have an I.D. card myself and I would not trade it for a passport.

What do you think, should there be an end of the I.D card or not?

Brighton Beach sunburned baby discharged from hospital

A five month old child, who has burn marks over his body, has been taken to the hospital for medical attention. He was with his mother in the South coast of Plumstead. It was one of the most sunny days on Sunday in London, when the police saw the child suffering from the sunburns. Immediately, they took the mother and the child to hospital. Inspector Derrick said that they were safe now and being placed in a safe environment. The problem was solved after medical help from the specialists. If they are not in hospital in time, the baby gets a low blood pressure, kidney failures and the risk of dehydration.

Little children like this child, should not be in the sun, because it is really dangerous for their body and for their health. If the problem could not me solved, then there could be a big risk of dehydration and maybe other diseases. I cannot believe that a five month old boy was taken to the beach, apparently this was very normal to the mother, which is actually unacceptable for other people. It is a big risk if people take their little children to the beach, unless they use sun lotion.

Do you take a little child to the beach when is it very sunny?

Two arrested after missing twins found safe and well.

The twins Blue Francis and Vixen Rea Francis of four years old were found safe. One week ago the father of the twins went to the police and wanted help because his children were missing. The police thought that their mother Tamara Dyson of 37 had the children with her. A Lincolnshire police officer said that they found a car at a petrol station at midnight. After saw this, a woman and a man have been arrested, who were suspected of kidnapping these children. The woman and the man are under police protection.

It is a tragic news item because I do not believe that a mother can do something like this. These are just young kids and they do not understand what is happening. It is also strange that the mother wants to kidnap these children from their father while the father is searching for them. I do not understand that two ‘normal’ people (what I think is the case) are arrested of kidnapping children, but were the twins really kidnapped by them or is this just a suspicion?

Behaviour 'good' or 'outstanding' in most schools

Four in five schools in England have an outstanding or a good behaviour. The school inspections of England explained in 2006 that nearly 74 % of the children in schools were rated with good or outstanding behaviour. In 2007 the statistics were 78.6%, which was better. In North- and South-England were the statistics above 80%. The West and the East of England were less than 80%. Most of the schools agreed with this research in England, but some schools disagree with these results. The reason about the disagreement was that the schools did not believe in the research of the inspectors.

Opinion:
I think it is better that most schools developed more, to get the 78.6% in stead of 74%. People can see the positive development among schools. It was a bit weird that the East and the West had less that 80% good or outstanding and the other schools under the 80%. I do not know if I have to believe this, because these are just statistics. I can imagine that other schools, which have an outstanding result, do agree with these results. I think that parents would not agree with the results of West- and East-England, because parents want that their children get a good education in anyway.
What do you think??

Labour will force foreign workers to speak English

Gordon Brown explained on April 12th that all public sector workers obliged to speak English. Brown hopes that inhabitants (voters) understand his concerns in this area. If the inhabitants want to get quickly a job, then the English language is applied for them, says Gordon Brown . After that, the party will promise to increase the minimum wage. The party declared that applying the English language should be a positive development and a correction in the United Kingdom.

I think this is a good effort to learn the English language because if the foreign workers apply this language, the communication would be easier in the society. But Gordon Brown knows exactly how to generate this, and I think this is a bit in a sneaky way to expect from the foreign workers to speak English as against getting high paid.
