A young British boy aged 13, could win a prize of 250,000 pounds (32 million yen) for inventing a doorbell that fools burglars into thinking that someone is home. The invention is called the ‘Smart Bell’ which calls your cell phone when someone rings on the door bell. This allows for a conversation with anyone who comes to your door. As well as tricking burglars the invention can also talk to delivery people. He thought of the invention after his school had a competition asking students for ideas based on a popular TV program. The teenager, said: “At first I designed the idea because my mum was fed up going to the Post Office to collect deliveries made when we were not at home.” The device has already sold more than 20,000 units and could sell many more, making him a very rich young boy.

********************
An American Preacher/Radio Presenter, Harold Camping, 89, predicted that Jesus Christ would return to earth on Saturday (May 21, 2011)and take believers to heaven (known as “The Rapture”). He believed that day would be the first day of the Day of Judgment– as written in the Bible. Donations to his radio station, Family Radio, totalled more than $12 million in 2000, and they spent over US$100 million on the Rapture Day information campaign. Some believers have payed up to $135 to have their pets picked up and cared for after the rapture.
On Sunday, May 22, Camping emerged briefly from his home, saying “Give me a day, no interviews today … I’ve got to live with it, I’ve got to think it out.” (by Prof. Simon Smith)
