In England they are trialling roads that can charge electric cars as they drive along them .
They are hoping that having these roads will increase the use of electric cars . Electric cars can not travel very far without having to charge so if they drive on these roads they will not have to stop and charge. The cars that will be using the road will need to be fitted with wireless technology and special equipment will be installed under the roads. The equipment under the road will create the voltage the car needs to charge .

Nestle has created a golden treat for Japan , a golden Kit Kat!
These bars have a thin gold layer that has a bitter chocolate taste and they are called golden sublime. There will only be 500 of these special edition gold bars in Japan and it is 24$ (nz) per finger!
I think I will be sticking to regular Kit Kats but some lucky people will be having a golden covered treat .

Who inspires me

One person who inspires me is Sir Ray Avery . He invented the life pod , an incubator that has the power to save the life of many babies . Millions of babies die each year because they do not have access to neonatal care and these babies are usually born in poor hospitals that can not afford incubators. The poor hospitals that can finally afford one usually buy one and a small part will break down and no one knows how to fix it so it is shoved into the corner and no one can use it . Ray designed one that is much cheaper and is portable and it even has backup power just in case it main power source breaks down . But what really inspires me is that he is doing to be kind , not because he wants money but because he wants to help .

I woke up in a bright white room I sat up and looked around there was nothing but a door and the stretcher I was lying on I tried to get out of the bed but I was to numb and I just crumbled to the ground so I used the bed to help me up . I shuffled along the edge of the bed to the door and I tried to open it but it was locked I looked around for another way out and I saw a small camera up near the ceiling so I shuffled over to it to have a look at it but then I hear the door being unlocked so I spun around and I saw two big men in black suits and one smaller man wedged in between ( who was obviously the important one ) , he wore a navy blue suit and had a red tie , he had dark skin and very short black hair . “ I see you’re awake” he said , he had a deep voice and looked a little scary .

“ Wh-wh-who are y-you” I said a little frightened.

The man's face softened , “You don’t need to worry , we won’t hurt you”.

“ I said, who are are you” I repeated a little more stronger .

“ Listen kid , come with me I have to explain who we are and where we are but first let’s go 
somewhere else"
