N.B. student takes home prize in Google doodle contest for Canada 150
N.B. student takes home prize in Google doodle contest for Canada 150
A nine-year-old boy from Lower Coverdale, N.B. is bringing back some money for his school after being named a grade group winner for the Doodle 4 Google Canada contest.
Wesley Babin, 9, was in Toronto on Tuesday as one of four finalists in the nationwide competition which featured entries from kindergarten to Grade 12.
The submissions were divided up into four grade groups — kindergarten to Grade 3, Grade 4-6, Grade 7-9 and Grade 10-12 — and a winner was chosen from each group. Babin was told he was the winner of the Grade 4-6 group prior to Monday. During his trip to Toronto, Babin was able to appear on TV before visiting the Art Gallery of Ontario where the national winner was announced.
Though he didn’t win the national prize, Babin still earned a $5,000 technology award for his school as well as a Google Chromebook for himself.
“It’s really exciting,” said Babin in a phone interview when asked how he felt being a winner out of more than 11,000 students.
Babin’s Google doodle was a 3D media sculpture inspired by technology made from bicycle gears and metal gadgets he found lying around the house. He also told Global News he even snagged a few trinkets from his father’s shop.
He told Global News last month he wanted to become a mechanical engineer someday.
His mother Denise said Tuesday that her son has been building things for a while.
“Wesley’s been doing those types of little sculptures for the last two years now,” she said. “So this is not new to us as a family. He’s been doodling and creating little sculptures for years.” It’s not yet known how the technology award will be spent, but because they have such a small school, Babin’s mother says they will consult the school population to decide where the money will go.
Though the school knew Babin was a finalist, only the principal was able to know he was one of the grade group winners.
Babin said when his friends found out he was a finalist, he got some mixed reactions.
“Some of them didn’t care and some of them were really excited,” he said.
Babin’s design, along with the other two grade group winners, will be featured in the Doodle 4 Google gallery online.
Students across the country were asked to redesign the Google logo for Canada’s 150th birthday with the theme centred on the question, “What I see for Canada’s future is…”
London high-rise fire leaves multiple people dead, dozens injured and missing
LONDON — A number of people were killed, at least 50 injured and many others missing on Wednesday as a fire ripped through a high-rise apartment building in west London where residents had long warned of the potential risk of a catastrophic blaze.
LONDON FIRE
A thick plume of smoke could be seen for miles around, while witnesses reported people jumping from open windows near the top of the 24-story building after being trapped by the advancing flames.
Hundreds of other residents, many who had been asleep when the blaze broke out shortly before 1 a.m., were forced to flee down dark and smoky stairwells. The building, which is located in a poverty-stricken pocket of one of London’s wealthiest neighborhoods, was engulfed within minutes, said locals.
“It was like a horror movie, smoke was coming from everywhere,” said building resident Adeeb, who hobbled down nine flights of stairs on crutches with his wife and three children.
Adeeb, who declined to give his last name, said there had been no alarms, and that he only learned of the fire when his daughter woke him.

Video of United Airlines Passenger Creates Furor in China, Too
BEIJING — A day after the forced removal of a passenger from a United Airlines flight provoked a social media furor in the United States, a similar outcry followed in China, after state-run news outlets here described the man as being of Chinese descent.
Video of United Airlines Passenger Creates Furor in China, Too
The man’s name has not been released, but another passenger on the flight on Sunday said he had complained of being singled out because he was Chinese.
By Tuesday evening, the hashtag “United forcibly removes passenger from plane” was the most popular topic on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter, garnering more than 270 million views and more than 150,000 comments. Many Chinese social media users accused United of racism, while others called for a boycott.
The outrage was furious and sustained, with internet users calling on United to apologize for its treatment of the man, who was dragged from his seat by security officers after refusing to be bumped from an overbooked flight from Chicago to Louisville, Ky.
The episode was prominently displayed across the Chinese news media on Tuesday. CCTV, the state broadcaster, showed photos of the passenger’s bloodied face above the word, “Savage!” People’s Daily, the ruling Communist Party’s flagship newspaper, scolded United for failing to condemn the man’s treatment.
United has said that the passenger and three others were selected to be removed from the flight after no one accepted the offer of a voucher to leave voluntarily. The other three passengers left without incident, the airline said. United’s chief executive, Oscar Munoz, apologized for “having to re-accommodate these customers,” called the episode “upsetting” and said the airline was conducting a review.
The controversy threatened to hurt United’s revenue in China, where the airline began flying in 1986 and has steadily built a loyal customer base. As of last May, United had 96 departures a week to cities in mainland China and Hong Kong.
Wang Guanxiong, 40, an angel investor in the technology industry in Beijing who travels frequently to Silicon Valley, said he would never fly on United again.
“Why did they choose an Asian out of so many passengers?” he said in a telephone interview. “Obviously Asians are the minorities.”
People’s Daily said it was “gravely disappointing” that the airline had “mentioned nothing of the violence against the Asian passenger.”
The Chinese news media often highlights episodes of violence and racism directed at people of Chinese descent overseas as evidence of what it considers the hypocrisy of Western democracies on human rights issues.
Some of the online discussions took on political overtones, with commentators saying the incident exposed deeper problems in American society. “Where are the human rights the democratic countries have been advocating?” a Weibo user wrote.
Others said the episode showed that people of Chinese descent in the United States faced rampant discrimination. “In the United States, Asians are often discriminated against,” one Weibo user wrote. “If it were a Muslim or black person, they wouldn’t have acted this way.”

Zhang Zishi, a student from the coastal province of Shandong who lives in Britain, started a petition on the website of the White House calling for a federal investigation into the case, using the hashtag #ChineseLivesMatters. The petition has nearly 25,000 signatures.
“I’ve learned from the media that there is a lot of racism in the United States,” Mr. Zhang, 18, said in a telephone interview. “I feel that Chinese people are treated unfairly.”
Joe Wong, a popular Chinese-American comedian, was among those urging a boycott of United. “Many Chinese who have faced discrimination are unwilling to speak out because of their pride,” Mr. Wong wrote on Weibo. “Because of this attitude, neither mainstream Western media nor the public pays much attention to discrimination against Asians.”
There was an unexpected distraction for Professor Robert Kelly when he was being interviewed live on BBC News about South Korea. But he managed to keep his composure and complete the interview successfully.
