In the waters between Australia and Indonesia recsuers managed to pull 130 people out from about the 134 people believed to be on board. Unfortunately one body was recovered dead and three more were thought to have gone down with the ship.
The rescue has now been called off as there are no more survivors or deceased being spotted.
This is the second ship to capsize in the same area in a week. It is hard for authorities to know exactly how many people were on these ships as many people sneak on illegally.

The thing is it hasn't been tried on a human before. The splint was made of PCL which also slowly breaks down. The split worked successfully. Kaiba is now 18 months old and still breathing normally.

Mad man in Austrailia
On May 15, 2013, a German jewel thief, Carlo Konstantin, was convicted o exporting drugs. He was then transported to through Bangcock. While under Austrailian export he managed to escape his guards and flee from the airport leaving Australian guards embarrassed.
The author of the article,Sarrah Titterton, seemed to have a point that this incident proved to be embarrassing and humiliating for the Australian government due to allowing for this mishap to happen. She wrote the article at 10:29 am on May 28, 2013.
I believe this article was written to create awareness of how important it is for the government to keep crimininals under control for the safety of everyone.

Pelicans Are Being Used For Target Practice in Western Australia - Lysette Barrera
Two pelicans were found with arrows shot through their body in Western Australia. While one survived and is being rehabilitated, the other had to be put down because of internal injuries. Shooting birds in such a manner is illegal, not to mention cruel an inhumane.
The first bird that was put down was found with an arrow through it's chest at Soldier's Cove near Mandurah. A week later, another pelican was shot through both of it's wings near Samphire Cove.
The attacks were investigated by authorities. Violators of the law protecting pelicans in Western Australia will face a maximum penalty of $4,000.
