5 People Escape From Sydney Cafe

Today in Sydney, 5 people escaped from a Sydney cafe where a lone Iranian gun man took an unknown number of hostages during Monday morning rush hour. Earlier, two people inside the cafe held up a flag with an Islamic declaration of faith that has often used by extremists. This raises fears that this might be a terrorist act. The first three people that escaped the cafe, ran out of the Lindt Chocolat Cafe six hours into the hostage crisis. Another two women sprinted out of the store from a fire exit where police where waiting. The situation is still developing and the police believe they can stop the gunman and bring everyone home for the holidays.

This is a terrible act to do especially around the holidays. The gunman, I believe, is doing this for ISIS and if not, trying to get the attention of ISIS so that he may join. The radical Islamic terrorist's have been increasing in past months. This is a serious issue which must be stopped at the root. I believe that the Australian police can overcome this challenge and that this will be resolved soon.

Harvard Law Professor Goes To Court Over Overcharged Dinner

Ben Edelman, an associate professor at Harvard Business School, went to war with Sichuan Garden when he was over billed $4 when he ordered his food. Edelman ordered his food on-line where the prices were outdated. When Edelman found out that he was overcharged he went straight to his e-mail to notify the restaurant. The manager of the restaurant, Ran Duan, quickly responded with an apology and said he would gladly refund the 4 dollars. Edelman refused and started talking about taking up legal action.

This was an outright move to try and shame a restaurant by making a big deal out of nothing. Even though Edelman, a Harvard professor who makes a fair bit of money, had every right to be upset, he took the whole matter to far. Most people would just leave it because its 4 dollars, but this guy was trying to be a pest. Edelman is notorious for his tenacity in calling out corporate misleads so this case will probably get dismissed.

Air Canada Gives Expats a Ride Home

Air Canada travels to a local bar where ex-pats normally meet.The airline offered almost all ex-pats in the bar, waiting to go home, air tickets to go home for the holiday's which tugs at the emotional strings of the viewers.

Air Canada is doing a real justice by giving these people the holiday cheer. This is an amazing deed by giving these people hope and I wish I could have been apart of it. There should be more good deeds in the world like this. If people/ corporations could be this generous, many people would benefit from each other and the world would be a better place.

Long Lost Painting Found In "Stuart Little" Film

Art historian Gregely Barki sat down to watch the classic movie "Stuart Little", when he discovered a hidden masterpiece on the set. Behind the actors on the wall, Robert Bereny's "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" painting was displayed. The painting has been missing for decades. Berney, was considered one of the leading artists in early 1900's Hungary. Barki believes the painting went missing when the last buyer left Hungary before or during the second world war. After seeing the film, Barki immediately  contacted the film production crew. A month later he received an email from the assistant of the set designer saying he has the painting in his bedroom. Th painting is now going for $150,000 Canadian at an auction.

This is one lucky find. This seems like it came straight out of the movies, ironically. I'm glad that institute found the painting and that the case has been cracked. This is one of the most beneficial finds to the artistic community. I hope that  more paintings that have been lost in the war, come forth back into the world.
