April Fools' Day

Unlike most of the other holidays, the history of April fool's day, sometimes called all fool's day, is not totally clear. It is not like Halloween, although an interesting history, most people just put on Halloween costumes, obtained the candy, and let it go. Really no "April fool's day, that can be pinpointed on the calendar out. Some people believe it's evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring.
April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

Crime and Justice

Around the world, in the night robbery always happen. This article gives some advice about how to away from robbery.
Firstly, staying safe on public transport that is safer than walking. In addition, if you are waiting for a bus or a train, stand in a well-lighted area near other people. Once you are on board, try and sit near other people and make sure you know where the emergency alarms are.
Secondly, taking care at cash machines. Most of the robbery occurred after the withdrawal, so you can choose a well-lighted cash machine that can be seen from the road, or from nearby houses.
Thirdly, the most common item stolen in a robbery is a mobile phone, so make sure you keep your phone safe. If you're not making a call, keep your phone hidden away. Keep it in one of your front pockets or inside a bag. Don't attach the phone to your belt or hang it around your neck.
lastly, if you have been robbed or someone has attempted to rob you, please report the crime immediately. Call 999 as soon as you can safely do, either from your mobile phone, a call box or from a nearby shop or business.

NEW PAPERS

‘The Sun’ and ‘The Guardian’are both journalistic organisations are  leading newspapers in the UK. The Sun is a tabloid newspaper and its content is mostly constructed of gossip and celebrity news, whereas The Guardian has a liberal political angle with left-wing opinions and hard news.
Looking at ‘The Sun’s’ and ‘The Guardian’s’ website names, they are very easy to access and find on the internet. Its search ability and search engine optimisation is very effective as both websites are easily found on Google, Twitter, AskJeeves and Bing search engines. However, on AskJeeves search engine, ‘The Sun’ has varied results; for the newspaper and the sun in the solar system. ‘The Guardian’ website also has the same problem, as on the first search page for Google, the film ‘The Guardian’ shows up in the results. However, the top search for these newspapers is their actual websites; therefore they are very effective in reaching readers in the UK and abroad.
‘The Sun’s’ website is full of pictures and videos to accompany the news stories. When a story is clicked on, there are more high-quality pictures and videos, which readers can view and share with other people on the web.
‘The Guardian’ somewhat differs from ‘The Sun’s’ graphological features, as the layout is more professional and clear.
 ‘The Guardian’ offers links on Facebook to the Twitter, YouTube and other social media websites for the newspaper. However, ‘The Sun’ is not as effective as it has less followers and popularity and also on Twitter does not have an actual account, but just separate sections such as ‘The Sun Football’.
      so i will choice broadsheet.
