A short description :
There was an attack in Boston. However, thanks to surveillance cameras, the criminals were caught not taking so much effort and time. However, privacy matter is taking place using surveillance cameras. Technology is evolving very fast and now surveillance cameras can find criminals with what short they are wearing. However, the problem is, in the process of finding criminals, the police also have to look law abiding citizens. With the cameras, the police can find out about our routine life anytime.

The BEST of Derrick Rose 2007-2012
This is the video of Derrick Rose who is NBA player and he is one of my favorite players in NBA.
He is the youngest MVP in NBA history and he led his team to become one of the difficult teams to win in 2012. Although he had to take almost 2 years off due to several injuries, he never gives up and continues his career in NBA. Recently, he had a surgery again but it's not major and he's going to be fully recovered in 5 weeks And so, I can't wait to see him in the games. Please watch the video!! Even if you don't like basketball that much, I am sure you will like his play.
