البداية

ولد" فنسنت فان جوخ " في  "غروت –زندرت "، في هولندا في 30 مارس عام 1853. كان والده قس  كنيسة  هولندية،  وكان من المفترض أن يصبح في يوم من الايام قساُ في الكنيسة مثل والده .

سمي  "فنسنت" على اسم جده، وكان لديه شقيق أكبر منه يحمل نفس الاسم لكنه مات يوم مولده .

بدأ بالرسم وهو كبير في السن 

فان جوخ عندما رسم اول لوحة كان في 27 من عمره ، وكانت أول أعماله الناجحة هي لوحة آكلة البطاطا في عام 1885

فنسنت فان جوخ قام برسم أكثر لوحاته شهرة  ليلة النجوم عندما كان يقيم في المستشفى النفسي  "سان ريمي" في فرنسا بسبب اضطراباته العصبية التي كان يعانيها، ووضع تحت عناية دكتور يدعى "ثيوفل ".

Virtual Reality is an amazing thing for those who like adventures and especially gamers . It let's you enter another world, the world of your choice. May it be a game or just a normal video on Youtube, you'll be inside it. For example, if you are playing a gun game like Call of Duty,if you turn your VR Headset on while playing and put it up on your head, you'll be moving freely inside it , and you'll be making the war with guns! To be able to enter Virtual Reality , you first will need a VR Headset.A Lot of Youtubers are using it now like PewDiPie or MrDalekJD on PS4.It is a really expensive object to buy , but you'll be having fun like no others.BUT, Everything has a good side, and a bad side.This object's Bad side is that if you are playing on the VR Headset , and someone comes and unplug it while you are still playing, the Headset will transmit electric waves directly to the brain waves, Wich Can Cause Death!!! An organisation called 'Oculus' ,  who is the one who created this invention,us trying to fix that bad side of it, and they announced a few months ago that it will most likely be fixed in 2018-2019.SO,Let's just be patient , and not do anything dangerous with this invention.

"Zodiac Signs" by Ayman Sonji

Zodiac Signs

There are 12 zodiac signs, and each sign has its own strengths and weaknesses, its own specific traits, desires and attitude towards life and people. By analyzing the projection of the position of planets, and the Sun and the Moon on the Ecliptic at the moment of birth. Astrology can give us a glimpse of a person's basic characteristics, preferences, flaws and fears.

Each of the 12 horoscope signs belongs to one of the four elements – Air, Fire, Water and Earth. These elements represent an essential type of energy that acts in each of us. Astrology aims to help us focus these energies on the positive aspects and to gain a better understanding of our potential and our positive traits and deal with negative ones.

These four elements help describe the unique personality types associated with astrological signs. The four zodiac elements exhibit profound influence on basic character traits, emotions, behavior and thinking.

Horoscope: Virgo by Sara Fanous

                                              

-All dissatisfaction will be abolished today as you systematically confront and resolve all the little problems that have been bothering you. Your tolerance threshold is low to nonexistent. Give a wide berth to friends who have been irritating lately. Your wardrobe improves dramatically as you discard all those clothes that don't fit or no longer suit you.

The Mathew hurricane by Mohamad Oueidat

The Mathew hurricane began the 28th of September and it stayed till the 10th of October 2016 .

First, it hit the daytona beach. There was a lot of wind and the water was very high.

At St Augustine, all the roads were flooded and people couldn’grt out of their houses.

At Melbourne, winds were so tough that it hit power lines burning houses. Accordingly, lots of people were left homeless.

The Mathew hurricane is the strongest hurricane since ten years and I hope it is the last killer hurricane.

What is Thanksgiving Day by Rachel HAMMOUD

What is Thanksgiving Day?

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in Canada, in the United States, in some of the Caribbean islands and in Liberia. It was originally celebrated as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

                                

                               So that's how this special and beautiful day was born.
