In the past few weeks another dance took the internet by storm just like the whip and the nae nae along with the dab and many more . It's called the Running Man challenge. There's no way to describe how to do it but it's basically one foot in from of the other moving slowly and moving in place almost like the running man where you stay in place. Many people are doing it along with famous people especially basketball players. Kyrie Irving updated his video last Thursday. The song that they dance to is called " My Boo" by Ghost Town DJ's

Facebook Relations Problems Regarding Leaders
Mitchell Mui
A leader in Germany was found guilty of incitement after assaulting refugees on a Facebook post two years ago. Mr. Lutz Bachmann was a founder of the Pegida when he was forced to pay 9,600 euros in other words 11,000 dollars equivalent US dollars for his remarks.
The refugees who received this news were outraged and want him sentenced to up to minimum of seven months in prison. They claim that Bachmann called the immigrants "cattle, brutes, and trash," that he deserved worse.
The leader was forced last year to step down as leader of the Pegida due to his attire that match that of Adolf Hitler. Although he is hated by the immigrants, Bachmann's supporters continue to throw racial slurs and sometimes violent protests,

Visa Free Travel for Turks
Refugees are leaving the social and economic problems in the Middle East. People are moving up North to Europe in order to find better lives or start over. The world is watching and trying to help the current situation.
European Nation is an establishment of common economic, foreign, security, and justice policies often called the EU.
The E.U, proposed visa free travel for Turks because of the refugees are trying to come to Europe. Turkey is a hot spot for refugees because in order to get into Europe they need to cross Turkey.
I think this is a good idea because I think that the refugees will find a better place to live in Europe.
Do you think the EU should make this happen?
Hamilton Steals the Show
Hamilton is probably one of the most "must-see" plays this years. The mixture of hip-hop along with a great story line surely makes it enough for them to receive 16 Tony Award nominations. No play has ever achieved this many nominations so, surely, the play must be that good. The play is a modern portrayal of Alexander Hamilton's life. Out of 40 acting nominations, 14 of them were given to black, Hispanic and Asian American actors; diversity for the win!
