“Everything depends on how

you see it” Cristian sais (the
captain and goalie of the
team), “you can be frustrated
and angerous because of the 18
goals we have conceeded in 3
matches, or you can focus on
the positive things. The

have spent as a group are
awesome, and the principal
reason we are here, thats our

 How to identify
fake news
In today’s digital world, misinformation spreads
rapidly, making it essential to recognise fake
news. Here are some effective ways to identify
unreliable information:

1. Check the Source

Always verify the credibility of the website or
publication. Reputable news outlets have
established track records and follow journalistic
standards. Be wary of unknown sites or those with
exaggerated headlines.

2. Look for Supporting Evidence

Reliable news is backed by facts and sources. If a
claim is significant, other trustworthy media
outlets should also report it. If you can’t find
additional sources, question its validity.

3. Analyse the Language and Tone

Fake news often uses emotional or sensationalist
language to provoke reactions. If an article seems
overly dramatic or biased, it may not be
trustworthy.
 …
4. Verify the Author
Check the author’s credentials. Are they a
recognised journalist or expert in the field? Fake
news articles often lack author details or feature
anonymous writers.

5. Check for Manipulated Images or Videos

Fake news may include edited images or
misleading videos. Use reverse image searches to
see if a photo has been used out of context.

6. Look at the Date

Sometimes, old news is reshared as if it were
recent. Always check the publication date to
ensure the information is current and relevant.

7. Consider Your Own Biases

People tend to believe news that aligns with their
opinions. Be open to questioning information, even
if it supports your views.

By applying these strategies, you can become a

more critical reader and help prevent the spread
of misinformation. Always think before you
share!

Cleaning robots have gained
popularity in homes worldwide. These
small, practical devices, shaped like
circles, move around your home
automatically, taking care of
sweeping and vacuuming floors
efficiently. Some models, in addition
to sweeping, also have mopping
functions, which enhances their
effectiveness.

What’s even better is that robots can

be controlled from your smartphone
or via voice assistants like Alexa and
Google Assistant. Equipped with
advanced technology, some robots
map out your home to avoid
obstacles, allowing for a more
thorough and precise clean. These
gadgets not only save time but also
provide convenience for people with
busy lifestyles.

Pros: Time-saving, convenient, and

easy to use.
Cons: They can be expensive and
sometimes miss cleaning in corners
or hard-to-reach areas.

Your New BFF (Best Futuristic Friend)

your couch? Yeah, times have changed. Now they’re doing everything from cooking to
holding conversations… and probably judging your browsing history.

Homework Help? Check. — Finally, someone who actually knows how to solve your
math problems without saying, “back in my day…”

mom’s anniversary, and the name of that guy you met once at that party.

Disadvantages:
Sassy AI? — If Siri’s attitude is any clue, just wait until your robot starts rolling its
eyes at your music choices.
Privacy? Never Heard of It. — Your robot knows your favorite snacks, your late-night
YouTube binges, and that one time you tried to learn the Macarena alone in your
room.
What If It Unplugs You? — Today it fetches your slippers, tomorrow it decides you’re
obsolete. Sleep with one eye open.

Robots are here, and they’re smart, polite, and just a

little bit judgy. But hey, at least they don’t ask for the
Wi-Fi password every two seconds.
