Kudos to Rabuzin’s sun, the Champions League trophy and the FA Cup cup, but the Korean baseball league winners got by far the best trophy in trophy history. Although it is not official, it is still the best.

And this is what the official trophy looks like:

 

The regular trophy for the winners is the usual weight for paper that is usually obtained, but the ownership of the club that won the league decided to deserve a better trophy.

NC Dinos are owned by NCSoft, the gaming company behind the gaming hits from the Lineage MMO franchise. They gave their team a celebration and a trophy like no one else in the world - a huge sword.

 

Obviously, they are more excited about this trophy than the actual trophy.
 

 

This is fantastic. Feel good news. We are a little late for the party, they got the sword at the end of November, but today we came across a photo and were completely delighted. Every kid, regardless of whether he is 5 or 35 years old, dreams of one day getting a huge sword. We had to share this.

Well these Icelanders are truly descendants of the Vikings! Okay, maybe today courage isn’t what it used to be, but this cameraman risked a drone to capture the glorious moment when the Fagradalsfjall volcano decided to erupt. Let's be realistic - have you read the name of the volcano at all?

The scene is spectacular, you have to see from start to finish. 


Crazy Icelanders stand just a few meters from the lava. Vikings, we tell you!

There’s also a night shot that’s just as spectacular, but the volcano doesn’t gush so much.


Bjorn Steinbekk is a great guy, in an interview with Channel 5 News he said he felt like when Liverpool won the Premier League.

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Thai king Maha Vajiralongkorn self-isolates at a top-class hotel in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen alpine resort in Germany.

The king, also known as Rama X, also brought with him a harem of 20 concubines and numerous servants, but it is not known where his four wives are located.

He has reportedly leased the entire Grand Hotel Sonnenbichl, a four-star hotel, according to the International Business Times.
The boarding houses and hotels are closed because of the coronavirus, but the hotel where the 67-year-old Thai king was isolated is an exception to this rule because they are guests from one group of people.

Thailand, meanwhile, is battling the Covid-19 pandemic knowing that their king is on vacation. For this reason, citizens responded via the Internet, violating strict laws forbidding them to criticize the king.

“Why do we need a king?” Is a question that has been shared 1.2 million times on Twitter after being launched by activist who is in exile in France.

Disposable plastic bags have been banned by the al Shabaab terrorist group.

A Somali militant Islamist group that has ties to al-Qaeda has long been interested in environmental issues.

This was officially announced on the Radio Andalus, managed by al Shabaab.

Jubaland regional leader Mohammad Abu Abdullah said the group had made the decision because of the "serious" threat posed by plastic bags for humans and livestock.

He added that plastic pollution is damaging to the environment.

In the same announcement, the group stated that it had banned the felling of rare trees.

Al Shabaab was responsible for the 2013 terrorist attack at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, which killed 71 people.

Last October, the group carried out several bombings in the Somali capital Mogadishu, which killed more than 500 people.

In Afghanistan, which, like the Somali struggle with water management and deforestation, has been exacerbated by decades of war, in 2017, Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada said in Afghanistan more trees should be planted. He said trees play "an important role in protecting the environment, economic development and beautifying the country" and respected Allah.

Golf has been with us since 1974 and has sold over 35 million units over seven generations, and is currently offered in more than 100 countries. Given the importance of Golf for the entire VW Group, it is not surprising that the company has invested as much as € 1.8 billion in the development of the new Golf 8.


The Wolfsburg plant in Germany will remain the most important for Golf production, as more than 2,000 copies of this model are produced there daily.

The Golf 8 is based on VW's MQB platform, with a vehicle length of 4284 mm (4255 mm in the "VII"), width of 1789 mm, height of 1456 mm, and wheelbase of 2636 mm. Here also is the fact that the coefficient of air resistance is 0.275.
According to German sources, the car will be more practical, economical and spacious, with more upmarket interiors and higher quality materials.

There is also a new infotainment system with a touch screen, head-up display, gesture control technology and a digital instrument panel, and it should be noted that the number of buttons inside has been drastically reduced.


In terms of the appearance of the exterior, there is no need to spend too many words here, because no drastic differences could be expected from the established company design vocabulary. Volkswagen plays it safe and there simply cannot be any experiments.

It should be mentioned here that there will no longer be a three-door version in the range, while the Caravan Golf 8 Variant will appear at the end of 2020 (and with about 50mm longer wheelbase compared to the current model).


As for the engine, we have a 1.0 liter TSI three-cylinder with 90hp and 110hp in gasoline, then a 1.5-liter TSI four-cylinder with 130hp and 150hp, and later comes a 1.5 liter TGI Evo is a natural gas-powered version.

The diesel engine offers a 2.0 liter four-cylinder TDI in 115hp and 150hp versions. 

The all-electric version of the Golf will be gone as new Volkswagen ID.3 electric hatchback takes its place.

On the other hand, the hybrid offer will include Mild Hybrid versions of eTSI petrol engines with 110hp, 130hp and 150hp (with 48 volt electrical system), as well as the Plug-in Hybrid variant eHybrid, which comes with 1.5 liter petrol and an electric motor with a total of 150kW / 204hp as well as 13 kWh batteries). The stronger 245hp Plug-in Hybrid variant has already been confirmed, arriving a little later.


Offered from 2020 will be the Sport Golf GTI with 2.0 liter turbo petrol and 235hp, followed by the Golf GTI Cup with 290hp, as well as the Golf R which will have about 330hp. The Golf R will not have the so-called Drift mode or all-wheel steering as announced by the factory.

As for the Golf GTI, the package will also include larger alloy wheels, an aero package (front spoiler, sills, rear diffuser, rear roof spoiler ...), front honeycomb hood with red trim and GTI logo, leather steering wheel with flattened lower partly with red seams, as well as sport pedals and seats with a distinctive checkered pattern.

The sale of the Golf 8 will start in Germany in December, priced at around € 18,500 for the base model.

Some schools in the northern suburbs of Chicago have decided to "move away" from Halloween celebrations as part of an effort to get more involved.

Evanston / Skokie School District 65 wrote in a message to parents:

“While we recognize that Halloween is a fun tradition for many, it is not a holiday that is celebrated by everyone for various reasons and we want to honor that,” the message reads. “We are also aware of the range of inequities that are embedded in Halloween celebrations that take place as part of the school day and the unintended negative impact that it can have on students, families, and staff. As a result, we support our schools that are moving away from Halloween celebrations that include costumes and similar traditions.”  

“We are confident those who are choosing to move away from the traditional Halloween celebrations will find new and engaging ways to build community within their schools,” the statement read.

Lincoln Elementary School is one of the schools that has decided to end school traditions throughout the school day. No party will be held Oct. 31 in Lincoln during the school day. Also, students do not wear costumes or receive sweets. Instead of a Halloween party, students will have a "fall celebration" on November 1st.

This move upset many parents.

Nejra Bajrić, whose son attends Lincoln, told the Tribune that her second grader is devastated.

“There were some tears,” Bajric said. “Every time I bring it up, he says, ‘That’s the worst; I’m just going to wear mine.’”

“They’re trying so hard to make everything inclusive that they’re excluding a lot of students,” she added. “They’re excluding those kids from having a Halloween, or low-income kids whose families work crazy hours.”

4-th grade girl Rhythm Pacheco refused to answer a math question because it was offensive. Specifically, in a math test, she encountered a task that she refused to offer a solution because she found the question offensive.

A nine-year-old from Salt Lake City was tasked with answering the question "how much Isabel is heavier than the lightest student".

In addition to this question, the test contained a table listing the names of three imaginary female students and their weight.

Dissatisfied Rhythm, instead of offering a solution, she wrote, “What!!!! This is offensive. Sorry I won’t right [write] this it’s rood [rude]."
She explained to Fox13 why she reacted that way.

"I didn’t like that because girls shouldn’t be comparing each other. I know it was a math problem … but I don’t think that was really OK. I didn't think this would be in the homework, I thought they would put fruits, vegetables or something like that for comparison, "said the nine-year-old.

She also let her teacher know that she thought it was wrong to judge people for their weight.

"I was left in shock, too. I think it's irresponsible to teach kids math this way, "says mother Naomi Pacheco.

They justified themselves from the school by explaining that "the task is not about weight and that it is just a comparison to test students' knowledge of grams and pounds". They have no intention of withdrawing the question from the test.
