Skyfall, she received an Academy
Award nomination as well as the
Golden Globe Award for Best
Original Song.
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this
moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
That skyfall
Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand
Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are
dark
You may have my number, you can
take my name
But you'll never have my heart
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it
crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it
crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it
crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At skyfall
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it
crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At skyfall
[x2:]
(Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall)
Let the sky fall
We will stand tall

SPORT HANDBALL
This month we chose
handball. Handball is a
team sport in which two
teams of seven players
each (six outfield players
and a goalkeeper on
each team) pass a ball to
throw it into the goal of
the other team.
A standard match
consists of two periods of
30 minutes, and the team
with more goals scored
wins. You must play it
with hands, never with
legs. This year World
Handball Championship
took place in January in
Spain.
Spain won the gold
medal, Denmark won
the silver medal and
Croatia won the bronze
medal, the third one in a
row on big competitions
(European and World
Competition and the
London Olympics).
Domagoj Duvnjak was
chosen as one of the
seven best players in the
world dream team.
All the best to our
cowboys in all the future
competitions!
COMPUTER
GAME KENTUCKY
ROUTE ZERO
INTERESTING
FACTS
Through the
rainforest over a
bridge to nowhere
In the middle of the
rainforest in New
Zealand in Whanganui
national park there is a
tourist attraction called
‘‘Bridge to Nowhere''.
You can get to the
isolated concrete
bridge only by a
speedboat and kayak
and then walk
additional 40 min down
and around rainforest
paths. The bridge is
completely useless
because there are no
roads on either side of
the bridge!
Kentucky Route Zero is
a magical realist
adventure game about a
secret highway in the
caves beneath
Kentucky, and the
mysterious folks who
travel around them.
Gameplay is inspired
by point-and-click
adventure games (like
the classic Monkey
Island or King's Quest
series, or more recently
Telltale's Walking Dead
series), but focused on
characterization,
atmosphere and
storytelling rather than
clever puzzles or
challenges of skill.
CAR MERCEDES C36
A new edition of C36 is
stronger and faster than
ever. The celebrated 6.2liters engine in this
model makes 507
horsepower on 6800
r/min. That is enough
acceleration to get from
0 to 100 km/h in only 4.2
sec and to achieve
electronically limited
maximum speed of
280km/h. C36 AMG
edition 507 is available in
three versions – sedan,
coupe and hatchback.
4 COLOUR WHITE
Inspired by the white
snow flakes all around us,
this month we chose the
colour white.
White as a positive colour
is associated with purity,
innocence, light,
goodness, heaven, safety,
brilliance, illumination,
understanding,
cleanliness, faith,
beginnings, sterility,
spirituality, sincerity,
protection, softness, and
perfection.
As the opposite of black,
movies, books, print
media, and television
typically depict the good
guy in white and the bad
guy in black.
The color white is also
associated with low-fat
foods and dairy products.
Brave Japanese
inhabitats live in a
crater
The Japanese island
Aogashima in the
Philippine Sea is a big
undersea crater with a
little volcano. Last time
the volcano erupted in
the 18th century. About
200 inhabitants live
there today.
To the human eye, white
is a bright and brilliant
color that can cause
headaches.
Throughout the western
countries white is the
traditional color worn by
brides, to signify purity.
In eastern countries, the color white is the color of mourning and funerals. YOUNG JOURNALISTS HAVE FUN
FUNNY CORNER
Ivan was drunk and he went to the zoo. He came to the cage where there was one monkey. The
monkey had two bananas.
Ivan asked:” Can you give me one banana?”
And the monkey said: “I will give you both if you tell me how you got out of the cage.”

They ask a rabbit: “What would you like to know?“
The rabbit answers: “How to play chess.“
“Why chess?” they ask him.
And the rabbit says: “To eat the hunter.”

A truck driver turns left and a car hits him.
The car driver asks him: “Why didn't you turn on the blinker.“
“Com'on. You didn't see the whole truck. How would you see one little tiny blinker? “, the driver
