Man Smuggles 600000 eels  into a Plane

On March the 9th 2017 a man in Heathrow decided to try and smuggle 600000 live endangered glass eels into Hong Kong via plane. The man's secret stash of eels was found under a pile of fish that was on it's way to Hong Kong, these eels are a delicacy in Asia, and the total weight of the eels (200kg) would've had a value of up to 2.1 million dollars on the black market. 

I am glad that the border security arrested the man because otherwise he would've sold the eels and got away with further endangering the species. 

I wonder why people like to eat those eels when they could eat any type of other eel.

The HoloLens

The Microsoft HoloLens.

Just last year a group from Microsoft made the Microsoft HoloLens, a pair of “glasses” that enable you to project holograms onto the walls and in the air, that only you can see. They are commercially available this year and are priced at around about $4700 and from what I have heard the money is well worth it. With the HoloLens you can do anything from conduct business meetings to playing video games to watching the rugby all using holograms projected onto the walls, if you don’t like the look of your house then you can simply make it so that it could look like a cottage or a mansion. There is much more that you can do but this blog would be thousands of words long I have barely scratched the surface of what this little gadget can do, there is so much more. And to think you can do all of this with the power of one little pair of glasses.
