The Joke

Ted talks

Angela Lee Duckworth talks about her experience on teaching on a public school. When she recieved the homework from her students, she saw that the IQ wasn't everything. She saw that the IQ wasn't very diferent between her best and worst student. That fact was important because it made her to study the mind of her students.
She said that she started to study adolescents and adults and she discovered that the key of success was the grit,
For me it was very useful and maybe for the people that have bad grades may be useful.

Turkey to hand back Russian pilot's body

Summary:
The prime minister from Tukey, Ahmet Davutoglu, said that they will return the body of the dead pilot to Russia. The pilot name was Col Oleg and he died when he was driving a plane. The turkish forces shooted the plane because it had violated their space.

This incident has made Russia to announce sancitions against Turkey. Vladimir Putin signed a decree that covers imports from Turkey. Seeing this, the president from Turkey declined to apologise to Russia.

Opinion:
The pilot's death was caused because Putin let the pilots to fly above the turkish territory. This incident maybe will cause some troubles to the people, for example the people from Turkey that are visiting Russia, maybe will be deported or expelled from Russia.

The Binding Of Isaac

The Binding Of Isaac, normally called TBOI, is a game created by Edmund McMillen. He is also the creator of a game called Super Meat Boy, a super hard game with a lot of blood.
 

The Binding Of Isaac is a rogue like game. You have to do "runs" to unlock items, secrets and challenges. The gameplay is very simple, you control one character and you have to get items on every room to be powerful and be able to defeat the enemies. Every run is diferent, for example, you can get a damage upgrade on the first floor, but on other run you can get a speed upgrade.

The story talks about Isaac and his religious family. When you finish the last floor, you unlock an ending which explains everything.
One day, one woman and one man get married and they have one son, Isaac. They were happy until they had a daughter called Maggy. Isaac's parents loved Maggy and they left Isaac apart. One day, Isaac wished his sister's death, and this wish came true.
Isaac's father left their home, and his mom started to drink and consume drugs. Some months later, Isaac's mom heard a voice from God, or that's what the game says, and the voice told her to sacrifice his son Isaac. He heard everything and he found a trapdoor on his room and that was his only escape way.
And that's how the game starts.

It's a deep story and there are a lot of theories about the game. For example that his mother dressed Isaac like his death sister and that's why there are a character on the game called Magdalene.

And finally I have to say that the game is very difficult whey you start, but when you play some hours, you learn how to play and what does an item.

Diesel, SWAT Police Dog Killed In Paris Raid, Was Only Months Away From Retirement, Handler Reveals

Summary:
A week ago, a SWAT police dog was killed by the terrorist in France. The dog's name was Diesel and he was about to retire. 

The french SWAT had the work to capture the leader of the terrorist who attacked Paris, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, whose body was found in the wreckage of a buliding. The body was with two of his partners, and five of them survived and they were arrested.
First of all there were a gunfire and the SWAT waited until finished. When they hadn't heard anything, Diesel was sent to the building to see if there were anyone. When he entered into the second room, he died. When this happended, the gunfire started again.
Some days later, the social media sent some images of their dogs and giving thanks to Diesel.

Opinion:
Maybe some people would say that the fault of Diesel's death was from his handler, because he let him go to the building, but I think that was his job. Because if Diesel hasn't entered to the second room, maybe some SWAT would enter and would die. I know that this would sound selfish and I write like I don't have feelings, but Diesel saved the life of people.

Egypt police killed in drive-by shooting south of Cairo

Summary:
Seven hours ago, four egyptian police have been killed on Saqqara, a place that is located on the south of the capital of Egypt, Cairo.
The murderers attacked the police from a motorbike, even if the egyptian police increased their security since the army ousted President Mohamed.
Also the security and the autorities are battling with the jihadist who have pledged loyality to the ISIS.
Opinion:
I know that is a short news, but for me it was impactant. This news appeared on my screen while I was searching some news. Sincerely I think that these terrorists called jihadist are brainless, because they kill for Allah, but this is stupid because if a god of a religion says that you have to kill to go to paradise, maybe it's a scam. With war comes more war, that's my opinion.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Jojo na Kimyou no Bouken in japanese, is one of my favourites anime and manga. The author, Hirohiko Araki released the manga on the 1986 on the Shonen Jump Magazine and he is still working on the manga right now.

The manga is about the story of the Joestar bloodline and his fate caused by a stone mask. The first Joestar that appears on the manga is Jonathan Joestar, his life was good, but suddenly a boy called Dio comes to his life and everything turns on the worst. After this, Dio wants to kill the Joestar family but it fails, and this event causes the fate of the Joestar bloodline.

There are eight parts, and there are some years between each one. The main characters, in order, are: Jonathan Joestar, Jospeh Joestar, Jotaro Kujo (his surename is Kujo, because Joseph's daughters marries with a japanese), Josuke Higashikata, Giorno Giovanna, Jolyne Kujo, Johny Joestar and Josuke Higashikata from a parallel world.

I like this anime because the plot is very good, the poses that they do are funny and on all the manga are references to music and some groups. For example there is a character called AC/DC, another one called Red Hot Chilly Pepper, and even one called Bohemian Rhapsody. And also the opening music from each season is awesome. My favourite one is from the Part II, called Bloody Stream.


Beauty

Is beauty important and necessary on our world?
Some people would say that beauty and aesthetic is important to look good and feel better with yourself, but this isn't true.

For example, when someone goes to clinic because they want to change some parts of his body for example the breasts, they only waste their money, Becasue if they do this for their partner or boyfriend, this person doesn't deserves it.
After one surgery, they maybe want more to look more beautiful for their partner, and this only will destroy their lives.

I think that beauty is in the inside of the people and if someone is with other people because it's beautiful, this person is selfish and superficial.

Is humor necessary?

Laughter is strong medicine for mind and body. Why do we tink this? We say this because it's a priceless medicine and I think that it's necessary for our daily routine.

First of all, when you laugh you relax your body and and relieve tension according to scientists, your muscles relax up to 45 minutes after. When you laugh or ou make someone laugh, you feel good happy.

Secondly, humor helps you to stay emotionally healthy, and when you are emotionally healthy, you are very possitive and optimistic. If you feel bad or lonely, humor and laughter can help you. Because, for example, if someday a friend of yours dies and you are sad, other people can help you to stay emotionally neutral or even better. The only thing they have to do is laugh and you will be caught up on it.

In conclusion, in this world we need more humor and laughter to stay healthy physically and emotionally, because it's better to stay happy than bad.

E-mail to the teacher

Dear teacher,

Right, now, in this moment I have some short term goals and I think that they are very important, and I hope that I will achieve them. One of these goals is to pass the baccalaureate. Another one is to earn good marks so I can study engineering. For these goals I will meet challenges like working with my parents or not having a lot of time to study, but I won't drop out the studies and I won't neglect my homework even if the things turn for the worst.
For the long-term goals, I would like to go to the university and when I finish the university I will go to Japan to study animaiton.

I know that I will face challenges and problems, and I know that I will fail, but with the knowledge of these failures I will try harder and I will succeed no matter what happens. In the speech, Obama has said two sentences: "You have to let your failures teach you", and "You become good at things through hard work", When I heard these two sentences I thought that I won't give up and I will keep going to make all the people who believed in me proud.

The sentence that I have chosen is "you have to let your failures teach you". This sentence, I think, that is very emotional and this can help a lot of people that fails a lot because they don't give any importance to the studies.

Best regards, Ali Mazghari from 2nd BAT A.

A few days later, the New York Times defended his reporter saying this: "We think it's outrageous that he would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters". And later, Donald Trump, replied this message on Twitter.


Opinion:
Donald Trump hadn't to mock of this reporter like this. He thinks that he is powerful and everyone likes him, but they don't. This person has a problem and the people laughed, but they don't think that if they only had a similar condition or even worse, they won't laugh.

Women Pretend To Be Men Online To Avoid 'Death, Bomb And Violence Threats

Summary:
On the internet, the women pretend to be men because they recive misogynistc attacks. A survey aimed that one from five women were intimdated by threats of violence, and that's why they have to hide their gender. It seems that these abuses are normal on the internet.
Some of the people of the survey had suffered panic attacks because they recive a continuous abuse from the men while they are playing online or chatting.
For example, Quinn, received a countless rape threats and she was forced to leave his home.

Opinion:
This cyber-abuse from the men to the women should be a crime. The people who do this, thinks that they are superior and they have power to do whathever they want. A lot of web pages or online games have some restrictions on the chat, and it can prevent things like abuses or violence, and the women who play or chat can be safe from this attacks.
