Malala, the heroine who stood up for girl’s education:
I never thought that a 16 year old girl coming from an undeveloped country such as Pakistan would go against the Talibans while putting her own life in risk in order for women to be educated. She has left me speechless due to her determination and strength and I’m so glad she has been awarded the Sakharov Prize and been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I never thought a salvaged would take so long to be proved. The incredible story of the British submarine Poseidon, which sank off China’s east cost 82 years ago and was secretly salvaged afte, left me amazed. Steven Schwankert, an American author spent six years trying to discover The Poseidon’s story and wrote a book. He tried to prove that the story was true.
Keep the mind sharp into old age I have always thought that crosswords and all these little "games" wich some people play to keep their minds sharp where useful but these article has proved me that I was wrong. Being with new people, trying doing thigs you haven´t done ever it´s very helpful foryour mind. These activities challenge your mind by lerningmore and mastering more tasks and skills. I think these research is very important because we always should be interested in learning new things.
The fall of nationalist tattoos in Greece It is amazing in Greece how the opinion of people change so fast! For the last two years many young low class people in Greece has tattooed in his body nationalist symbols tattoos, for supporting the Golden Dawn party. But now, the same people want to quit their tattoos or tattoo bigger ones on it because the police arrested the nationalist party’s leaders and now people have fear.
Whrere is the body? Erich Priebke, an old Nazi´ss officer dead in October of this year at the age of 100, but when his family were in the funeral a group of people stopped the burial and stole the body of the old officer and they didn´t returned the body. The goberment ordered that the men must be buried in a secret place in Italy. I think thath people who likes to hurt humans, are monsters. Although all this bad people must be respetated when they die and they have the right to be buried where they want. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/10391537/Nazi-war-criminal-Erich-Priebke-to-be-buried-in-secret-in-Italy.html Borja Patrón Sánchez

His math teacher, 24 years saw him drawing during class and said to him if he could stay after class with her, she only wanted to figure out if he had any questions of learning equations, so he accept. When they were together, he took the opportunity to kill her in a bathroom with a box cutter, and hide her body in a forest. It is awesome, I don’t understand that with something so simply like that, that she saw him drawing, a boy could kill his teacher, I think he has mental ill or something like, a person with 14 years don’t think to commit a murder, its something very hard and serious.
I am going to introduce my project which is: The LAUNCH OF FREE APPS FOR APPLE DEVICES
Last Tuesday, in San Francisco, at an APPLE new media event, they said they were going to offer a new APP called iWork, which combines a set of applications for MAC´s, iPads and iPhones. The difference between Apple and Microsoft will be that APPLE will offer that APP for free to anyone who buy a new Mac, Ipad or Iphone, while Microsoft offers a similar software but with a cost.
I think that Apple´s free software offering will make Apple to increase their sales of iPads and iPhones, so they will become the company that sells more of those type of devices. Apple has already improved their tablets and next November they will start selling the new iPad Mini as well as the new Ipad Air, which are very competitive devices.

A recent study of The Institute for Human Cognition and Brain Sciences in Leipzig (Germany) has discovered that working with a machine which permits making your own music when you are using it at the gym could be positive for the workouts. They proved that it is true with a group of 63 people, they used the musically equiped machines for a few minutes, the results showed that many people in the group didn´t use the same oxygen as they normally need to do the same exercises without the music machines, and they also generated more muscular force. Although they don´t know certainly why creating melodies when we are sweating and working out in the gym is more positive for our physical progress, than only ear it when we are doing the exercise. I think that music could be helpful for workouts, but if you heard your work and effort being transformed in a song the feelings of satisfaction and motivation are, definitely much better.
The new is about a gypsy family from Ireland who strangely have a daughter with blue eyes, blonde hair, and white skin when they are dark skin and hair with brown or black eyes. The government has removed the custody because the ''fathers'' of the girl don´t have enough proofs to demostrate that she is her daughter. In my opinion the government and the police from Ireland are right because it's very posible that the girl isn't theirs, I think that we should know where do we came from, and if the police are right the girl must know where her family is. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/5221843/bulgarians-questioned-over-missing-maria-sold-to-gypsies.html
For months, it has been difficult to escape the constant onslaught of bad news devasttated Fukushima nuclear plant. Even after the company that operates the plant admitted this summer that tons of contaminated groundwater was leaking into the pacific Ocean every day, new accidents have addeb to the uncontrolled releases of radioactive materials. The latest releases appear to be carrying much more contaminated water than before into the Pacific. Beyond that, althought many Japanese belived that the plant had stopped spewing radioactive materials long ago, they have continued seep into the air. In my opinion, should solve this problem as the subjet os radioactivity is very dangerous for human health and especially now with the Olympic Games.

The Football Association is celebrating its 150th anniversary this weekend in central London.
A gala dinner will take place on Saturday night at the Grand Connaught Rooms, the site of the Freemasons' Tavern where, 150 years ago, the FA was founded. The original FA Minute Book from 1863 which laid down the first laws of the game drafted by Ebenezer Morley and his contemporaries will take pride of place. Leading FA figures, along with famous England players from past and present, will attend while the event will highlight the FA's not-for-profit commitment which sees £100m re-invested into the game. Guest of honour, FA President HRH the Duke of Cambridge said: "I am a football fan. I have loved the game from a very young age - as a player with my friends, and as a supporter of club and country.
Ferrer came through 6-4 4-6 6-0 in an hour and 40 minutes and will face fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro in the last four. He took the opening set after breaking Janowicz's serve for the first time in the tournament but the Pole responded with a solitary break in the second to level the match.
Top seed Ferrer dominated the decider without losing a game as his opponent's play became increasingly erratic.
Janowicz hit 10 aces and his serve reached speeds of 148mph on the indoor court but it betrayed him at key moments. Two of his four double faults helped cost him two service games and, on match point, he twice fired into the net.
Last Saturday, a tsunami caused by an earthquake hit the coast of Fukushima. People thought it would be like the tsunami in 2011, and evacuated the area, but the tsunami only measured 1.3 feet, and did not make any significant damage. There were neither injured no structural damages. The tsunami began at 2:10 a.m. far from the coast of Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate.
U.N., Fearing a Polio Epidemic in Syria, Moves to Vaccinate Millions of Children United Nations they were mobilizing to vaccinate a lot of children in Syria to combat what the fear could be an explosive outbreak of polio, the incurable viral disease that cripples and kills. Altogether, more than 10 million young children in the Middle East would get polio vaccinations over the next several weeks. In my opinion, it´s really amazing what they are doing the world health organization because they try to avoid such a dangerous disease spread in countries that are at war constantly.

Smog That Looks Like Snow in Harbin, a Northern Chinese City
Today the air pollution in China reached an all time high.
The WHO (World Health Organizacion) sets the safety limit at 25 micrograms per cubic meter.
This happens frequently in winter because of the coal used for healting systems and the weather conditions. When this occurs, it is necessary to close schools and some highways
I think that the Chinese government should find alternative energy for healting and industry since this smog is dangerous.

RACISM IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
ReplyDeleteAfter the embarasing incident on the match between the "CSK Moskow"
and "Manchester City" where the player Yaya Toure suffered from racism, the
UEFA`s president Michel Platini and his board of directors have already accused
the russian club of "racist behavior of their fans".
In my opinion the fact that there are still racist events on the European football is
pointless and painful. Therefore the UEFA`s decision to proceed with an internal
club investigation seems the most suitable.
