Gypsies revolt
It has been the main story of the week, a group of gypsies on dale farm have been told that it is n ow time for them to pack their bags and start travelling once again. however it seem the travellers have becoe very comfortable in their new home and so are putting up a fight to keep the council out.
Police began to clear the site yesterday and were met by an onslaught of rocks and other projectiles, 23 people were arrested. In order to prevent further urest however riot police have been put in place to guard the site. Unfortunately however the unrest has meant that gypsies wanting to leave the site cant because of the 60 ft barricades and overall situation.
One of the travellers during the seige said "We don't want to give up and I plan to lock my daughter in our caravan to resist the bailiffs." Now im no expert but isnt the whole idea of a traveller-apart from trying to avoid paying council tax-about living in one area and then moving on after a bit of time. I dont like the fact they are hanging around because this is when gypsies become lay abouts that dont conform to any normal way of living.

With great Knowledge comes great change?
This is the news that during a childs adolescent period our IQ is most flexible. It was previously thought hat we maintained a similar IQ throught out our life time. however recent scientific discoverie have uncovered evidence that may prove otherwise.
Scientist were able to construct this theory the other day after they recieved the results from their on going investigation. The investiagtion consisted of a group of children all an average age of about 14, there were 19 boys and 14 girls and each of them took a IQ test. They then took the same IQ test when they were almost 18 and the results revealed that there was a significant chnage in the verbal IQ of 39% of the teenagers. There was also a 21%increase in the spatal awareness of certain teenagers also.
