ABOUT YOUTH.
I believe that the youth are the driving force of any society, since it is not a time of life but it's a state of mind, it's a temper of the will, quality of imagination, vigour of emotions and a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over love of ease.
TOP 5 BEST HOLIDAY SPOTS
1. DUBAI For sun, sand and serious excess, visit this stunning jewel in the desert
If there’s one thing you can be sure of in Dubai, it’s that you’ll be impressed. This city of extremes offers something for everyone.Whether you want to haggle in ancient, bustling markets, marvel at record-breaking architecture, shop in giant malls or just relax on the beach, Dubai has it covered. And best of all, it’s only six hours from London.
The city’s most affluent area is Jumeirah Beach, and even if you’re not staying there you’ll want to see it. The coastline is packed with high-rise hotels featuring their own private stretches of sand.
Make a reservation at the Skyview Bar at the Burj Al Arab before you travel to witness the opulent interior as well as wonderful views of the city.
But for all the modern developments, no trip to Dubai would be complete without a taste of authentic Arabian culture.
The old town in Deira is where you’ll find traditional gold, textile and spice souks.
Dubai has always been an important waypoint for travellers, but these days it’s also a destination in its own right.
Consider combining a visit here with a holiday to Sri Lanka or the Maldives for the ultimate getaway. You won’t regret it.
2.GRENADA The moment you step off the plane at Grenada’s beachside airport, you know you’re in for something special
Perhaps it’s the sight of the turquoise water and the white Caribbean sands, or the welcoming smiles as you bask in the tropical heat.Dubbed the Spice Island (though it’s actually composed of three islands) due to its thriving trade in nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger, Grenada is indeed an exotic destination.
You could spend your whole holiday here just eating delicious food and chilling on the beach, but it’s worth exploring a bit.
Hike through the Grand Etang National Park’s volcanic landscapes and take a dip in a crystal clear pool below a waterfall.
The capital, St George’s, is also well worth a visit, with the French-built Fort George offering superb views and an insight into the country’s military past.
You’ll also see remnants of the damage wreaked by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, though much of the capital has now been rebuilt.
If the sun lounger calls, Grand Anse Beach is one of Grenada’s best spots – two miles of uninterrupted white sand and calm waters in which you can scuba-dive, snorkel and sail.
Kick back with a rum punch and look forward to an evening of liming – the local term for having a good time – which Grenadians do rather well.
3.UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT.Venture into a world where magic is real and excitement knows no bounds
From printed page to the silver screen to reality – prepare to step into the world’s first fully immersive Harry Potter™ themed experience.
Based on the best-selling books by JK Rowling and blockbuster feature films from Warner Bros, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ is open at Universal’s Islands of Adventure® theme park at Universal Orlando® Resort – and Virgin Holidays is offering visitors some extra benefits.
Guests will be able to visit some of the most iconic locations from the books and the films.
As well as exploring the interactive shops and restaurants, visitors will be able to experience exciting rides such as Dragon Challenge™, twin roller coasters that engage in a high-speed chase across the sky.
Plus, you can join Harry and his friends on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™, a new state-of-the-art attraction that’ll bring the magic, characters and stories of Harry Potter to life in ways that guests have never experienced before.
With two amazing theme parks, non-stop nightlife and world-class on-site hotels, Universal Orlando® Resort is an entire universe of action and thrills for everyone in the family.
4. Koh Chang is the hot tourist destination on Thailand’s crystalline Gulf Coast
Dizzyingly mountainous and beautiful, Koh Chang offers 430 square kilometres of steep indigenous mountain forests that rise into the clouds at close to 2,500ft.Seen as a serene alternative to the booming Phuket, it’s a favourite with Thais but is relatively undeveloped.
‘Chang’ translates as elephant – the 52 islands in the Koh Chang National Marine Park are said to resemble a herd of elephants. The animals aren’t indigenous but there are three spots on the island where you can take organised rides.
A short drive inland, passing fields of mango and durian trees and scarlet peacock-tail flowers, leads you to the jungle camp of Ban Kwan Chang – the most responsibly-run elephant camp on the island.
Here, visitors can ride elephants into the rainforest and wash them under waterfalls.
The island is well preserved – nature conspired against developers by throwing up a dense, mountainous interior – but it is, as they say, ‘under pressure’, so book now before the hordes discover it.
Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world – there’s so much to do here you’ll never want to leave
Its fabulous venues make Vegas an essential haunt for leading acts of the stage and screen.Forever associated with Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, it’s a must-go destination for superstar entertainers – there isn’t anywhere else like it.
The hotels are an attraction in themselves. Favourites like the Bellagio, The Venetian and the Luxor have been joined by The Palazzo, which you enter via an 18m glass dome with a two-storey fountain.
Vegas’s casinos are a huge draw for many visitors and are designed to offer you maximum fun and comfort while you try your luck on the tables.
But there are also plenty of other attractions, ranging from funfairs and theme parks to golf courses and spas.
For the ultimate thrill, try the X-Scream ride atop the Stratosphere Tower – a giant see-saw 886ft above ground with an incredible plunge.
There are a myriad of excursions as well. Book a helicopter ride over Vegas for spectacular views of the Strip, or take a flight around the rim of the Grand Canyon before landing there and returning to Vegas at sunset.
Vegas is as unique as it is compelling – fiery, dramatic, futuristic, but always fabulous. Viva Las Vegas!
TRUE STORY DADDY ATE MY EYES
BAKERSFIELD California -- A horrifying case of alleged child abuse has surfaced in Bakersfield, where a 34-year-old father is accused of biting out one of his son's eyes and mutilating the other. Police say Angel Vidal Mendoza appeared to be under the influence of PCP when he attacked the 4-year-old boy April 28. After the attack on his son, police say Mendoza rolled his wheelchair outside and began hacking at his own legs with an ax. A neighbor found 4-year-old Angelo Mendoza Jr. naked, unconscious and covered in blood on the floor of his home. Officers later discovered that one of the boy's eyes was missing and the other eye was horribly damaged. Investigators said the child told them, "My daddy ate my eyes." Doctors at Mercy Hospital say it's unclear whether Angelo will regain vision in his right eye. The boy's mother wasn't home at the time of the attack. A court hearing set for Wednesday was postponed. Deputy Public Defender Joel E. Lueck said Mendoza was hospitalized, recovering from the wounds on his legs. Judge Colette Humphrey issued a gag order prohibiting attorneys and investigators from commenting about the case. Mendoza is facing felony charges of aggravated mayhem, torture, willful cruelty to a child and inflicting injury upon a child. Mendoza has a criminal record going back to 1997 that includes convictions for selling alcohol to a minor, battery and check forgery. Mendoza and the child's 23-year-old mother, Desirae Marie Bermudez, were charged with being ...

TEENAGER KILLS GIRL TO FEED VIDEO GAME HABIT
Mong The Xuong, 15, confessed to luring the youngster into woods in Nghe An province in the north central coast of Vietnam, and beating her to death with a rock, Vietnamese police say.
He said he killed Anh Nhu because he did not have money to play online games at an internet cafe near his home in Yen Hoa, it is claimed.
Locals said the 9th grade high school pupil often spent hours at internet cafes every day, playing Vo Lam Truyen Ky (Swordsman Online) - a violent, massively popular multi-player game in Vietnam, based on Chinese kung fu stories.
Online Gamers Anonymous, a US-based support group for addicts, said the killing - and the level of violence used - highlighted the need for action to be taken to restrict excessive gaming.
Anh Nhu's killing is the latest in a long line of deaths and violent crimes around the world attributed to video game addiction.
According to his confession, Mong lured the girl into woods near their village on May 23 by asking her if she wanted to help him pick fruit to sell at a local market.
He told police he suddenly pushed her down a 20ft rocky drop near a stream before climbing down and beating her repeatedly on the back of the head with a rock, hoping people would think she suffered her injuries in the fall.
He said he cut the earrings into pieces with scissors, and then wrapped them in paper and hid them under the leg of a wardrobe. He was later arrested.
Elizabeth Woolley, who set up Online Gamers Anonymous after her son Shawn committed suicide because of his addiction to online games, said it was time governments stepped in and did something about the ever-growing habit.
"Until governments around the world recognise it's a problem, it's just going to keep getting worse and worse in terms of murders and crimes caused by excessive and obsessive online game play," she said.
"It's exactly like drugs or alcohol - once people get addicted, they feel they have to have it. There are always certain people who will get addicted to a drug, and in gaming we estimate it's about 20% to 30% of people."
The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment (UKIE), which represents businesses in the UK video games industry, was unavailable for comment.
VERY SAD PLEASE TRY TO HELP THIS PERSON.
I have always had a difficult relationship with my dad although I can't really think why. I remember being punished a lot as a child quite harshly for minor things and learned to fear my father from a very young age. I was not a perfect child I often got in to mischief as a little girl but once I got the message that he was not to be messed with I watched my every step.
As a teenager I tried my hardest at school and with part time jobs to show him I was responsible and reliable but it seemed no matter what I always managed to wind him up somehow and nothing I did was good enough. I bit my tongue for years up until the day I was married and he made some comments about 'finally getting rid of me' he looked at my husband and said 'good luck mate, you'll need it with her' and you could see from his face and tone of voice it was not a joke. I looked at him and just said I want you to leave I dont want you here and he did so without saying a word and my mum ended up giving me away.
We had no contact for about 6 months after until I found out I was pregnant and thought I could use the good news to build some bridges. He was not really interested but came to see the baby when he was born. He has shown little interest since then now I am pregnant for the second time and hate that my kids wont have a grandfather that cares about them, this is what makes me most angry that he is treating my child and probably the new baby too like lepars he just doesn't care. He seems to get on fine with my other sister and brother but has no time for me or my children, I am considering cutting him out of our lives for good and have talked to my mum about it (they are still married) but she just says she wants nothing to do with it and that I should get over the past. I don't want to be evil but I don't feel anything for this man as my father, I don't love him. what should I do?

Well, it is safe to say that he turned our alright also.
