How many times have you
heard your parents or maybe
your grandparents say these
old wives’ tales that are defi-
nitely not true ? Here are the
most popular ones and the ex- when your eyes get tired

Human Urine Heals Jellyfish every once in a while.
Stings
If you or one of your loved
ones gets stung by a jellyfish,
don't use this mythical healing
technique. I bet that you have
been told that peeing on the
jellyfish sting will make the
pain go away ,but it won’t
make it feel any better. Instead
you remove the stinger with
fine-tipped tweezers, soaking
the affected area in hot water,
or taking a hot shower, for 20–
45 minutes.

 Amelia Earhart By Anna Katsouri 2nd Grade
The great girl who became
the first woman to go
around the world by plane!
Amelia was an American
aviation, pioneer, author and
advocate for women’s
rights. She was born on July
24 1897 and disappeared on
July 2nd 1937 during a
flight across The Pacific
Ocean. In 1921, she began pilot
classes, and just six later, she
bought a used yellow biplane, a
Kinner Airster, which was
called the Canary. On October
22, 1922, Earhart and her
«Canary» flew to a height of
Understanding the Lightning Science by Yannis Harnides
Lightning is fascinating to
watch but also extremely dan-
gerous. In the United States,
there are about 25 million light-
ning flashes every year. Each of
those 25 million flashes is a
potential killer. While lightning
fatalities have decreased over
the past 30 years, lightning con-
tinues to be one of the top
weather killers in the United
States. In addition, lightning
injures many more people than
it kills and leaves some victims
with life-long health problems.

did not stop there, and in May
1923, she became the 16th
woman with a pilot’s license.

lightning is important so that
you can get to a safe place
when thunderstorms threaten. If
you hear thunder—even a dis-
tant rumble—you are already in
danger of becoming a lightning
victim.
How Lightning Forms
Lightning is a giant spark of
electricity in the atmosphere or
between the atmosphere and the
ground. In the initial stages of
development, air acts as an in-
sulator between the positive and
negative charges in the cloud
and between the cloud and the
globe ‘‘Flying must have
always been, in a way, an
integral part of myself’’,
she stated.
ground;
however, when the differences in
charges becomes too great, this insu-
lating capacity of the air breaks
down and there is a rapid discharge
of electricity that we know as light-
ning.Lightning can occur between
opposite charges within the thunder-
storm cloud (Intra Cloud Lightning)
or between opposite charges in the
cloud and on the ground (Cloud-To-
Ground Lightning). Cloud-to-ground
lightning is divided into two differ-
ent types of flashes depending on the
charge in the cloud where the light-
ning originates.
Thunder
Thunder is the sound made by a
flash of lightning. As lightning
passes through the air it heats the air
quickly. This causes the air to ex-
pand rapidly and creates the sound
wave we hear as thunder. Normally,
you can hear thunder about 10 miles
from a lightning strike. Since light-
ning can strike outward 10 miles
from a thunderstorm, if you hear
thunder, you are likely within strik-
ing distance from the storm.

KAUAI,HAWAI
Golden sunsets, sandy beaches,
turquoise skies- Kauai has it
all. But this island,
which is in the Hawaiian chain,
doesn’t only include luxury
hotels and the usual
tourist attractions; it also ca-
ters for the more simple trav-
eler. You want rural
scenery? Kauai’s got it- there
are only two major highways.
There are even some
remote regions which can only
be explored on foot. Local peo-
ple would stay that
you need no more than a good
pair of hiking boots, an um-
brella and an adventurous
spirit to visit this island. But we
should warn you; you will also
need a little cash.
Rooms, most of which are fully
booked during the winter, can
cost as much as
$500 a night. To have a perfect
honeymoon without spending
too much, plan your
trip for the fall.

breathtaking sunsets, the clear
waters of the Aegean Sea, deli-
cious Greek food {fish, olives,
feta, amazing
salads} and romantic accom-
modation for couples. With this
incredible views over the Ae-
gean Sea, Santorini is perfect
for those who’ ve just said “I
do”. The narrow streets, with
their small white houses and
picturesque churches, have a
variety of souvenir shops and
restaurants.
Those who prefer a more relax-
ing honeymoon can spend their
days lying on the beaches or
listening to music in the numer-
ous clubs and bars, Which stay

 THE IMPRESSIVE LIFE OF KEN BLOCK
by Mamatsis George
Motorsports world suffered a lot recently. The famous stunt driver Ken Block unfortunately
passed away, in a snowmobile accident at the age of 55. What a coincidence! Another mo-
torsports legend Michael Schumacher suffers from his ski accident 10 years now…..
Ken Block was an American professional rally driver known for his driving skills. Block was co
-owning and driving for Hoonigan Industries, an apparel brand for auto enthusiasts. He also had
several partnerships with car industries like Ford and Audi to promote the brands.
Rallying
In 2005, Block began his National rallying career with the Vermont SportsCar team driving
a Subaru WRX STi. At the end of his first rallying year, Ken Block had won the Rally Amer-
ica Rookie of the Year award.
In 2008 he finished second overall in the Rally America National championship with a strong
victory in the last event. In the Lake Superior Performance Rally (LSPR) stage, Block finished
over one minute ahead of his next closest competitor and secured the second overall position.
In 2009 Block was the lead tester of Ford for the 2010 Rally America season. He appeared in
TopGear show and filmed the hit YouTube video "Gymkhana 2".

In 2010, Block joined Ford to compete in the World Rally Championship for Monster World
Rally Team, where he drove a Ford Focus RS WRC. He became the first American driver to
campaign for WRC. His talent though, was not so much to keep up with the rules of the champi-
onship but rather offer entertainment. He therefore focused on filming videos featuring him
driving on famous routes or landmarks like the Gymkhana or the Hollywood ride. Block’s hit
was filming fast and risky driving sessions, making him the most popular of his kind with mil-
lions of views on YouTube, like the 3rd Gymkhana, that got more than seven million views in its
first week! Rest in Peace Ken!
