Eleven children injured in Blyth park dog attack

Link
Summary:
Yesterday, on a part at 18:30, eleven children were attacked by a dog, Three of the eleven children had to stay in the hospital because they have serious wounds. The rest of the children are injured and they expect that a little girls need a skin graft.  
The police still doesn't know why the dog attacked the children, but they arrested a 37 years old man because it was his dog who went out of control.
Now some children of the park are traumatized and they fear dogs.
The one who saved the kids was a father of the boys. He tied the dog on a fence until the police came to solve the problem.
Opinion:
The owner of the dog was an irresponsible and he caused a lot of damage as well as physicological and physical. I think that when he will go to the courtroom, the judge punish him to life imprisonment, because having a dog and don't take care of him, is unacceptable.

This Tiny Earpiece Can Let You Understand Another Language In Real-Time

Link
Summary:
Waverly Labs, a small company, had developed a small device that you have to put in your ear and this device can translate all the conversations that you are hearing. The company had talked to Apple and Google to make an app, so the device can work offline. But Waverly Labs isn't sharing information, and there is only a small demo to show the world that the device is working.
Opinion:
It's a good idea so all the people on the world can talk each other. And the fact that the device has to be sold in pairs, so all the people can talk, is brilliant. That would be useful for the people who love travel to countries that they talk another languages or for job or univeristy. You could go to a meeting and they can undersand you. But the schools and the teacher who teach languages can be unemployed.
In conclusion, this device will help a lot in our lifes.

Are all the people equal?

Maybe I am repeating myself, but this is a topic that is very important for me. The topic is the racism and the bullying. When I am going to class every day, in the hall I see some kids punching and yelling someone that seems weaker than them, and I think that these people are stupid. But not only in the highschool it happens.

Sometimes, when I go out with some of my friends, we go to the supermarket, we see a shop assistant pretending that some people doesn't exist even if they shout. The reason can be that these people are from another country, because if it's not, I don't think what's in the mind of that shop assistant.

I think that is not fair for the affected people. They have the same right to go shopping like the others, it's writed on the Declaration of the Human Rights.

New Lung Cancer Breathalyzer Provides Greater Chance Of Successfully Curing Disease

Link
Summary:

Scientists from U.K had developed a breathalyzer that can help detecting lung cancer. The breathlyzer measures some organic compound in the breath that the patient exhales in order to detect this cancer. First this was initially designed to detect exoplosives and toxic gases.
The lung cancer cause 1.5 million deads every year and the cause can be the late diagonistication, for example 5 years late.
But now, with this new technology, the doctors can diagonistcate the lung cancer to the people that have it and they can be saved from death.


Opinion:
It's a good news knowing that some people are developing new technology and studiying new methods for helping the people. The hospitals that are trying this breathlyzer sure they are helping a lot, and the objective maybe is reduce the deads caused by this cancer, but I think that only the people who have money can go the hospital and the ones who doesn't have a lot maybe will die.
If this can save lifes, this should for all the people in the planet.

My TDR...

The past Monday I brought my research project finished to the high school. The previous day I sent an e-mail to my tutor of the resarch project and she didn't answer me, and she didn't saw anything. 

Yesterday I went to the library to talk with her about my oral presentation that I have to do the next Monday. She told me that I should forget about doing it because my research project was a shame. 

Maybe she is right, but telling me to don't do it I think it isn't very nice coming from her, considering that she is my tutor. Then the headmistress talked to me. She said that nothing was decided and it's the tribunal who gives the mark, not only her. And also she told me to do the oral presentation even if someone told me to don't do it. 

How all started

I think that my game obsession started when I was five or six years old. It all started with the Game Boy Advance and one the The Legend Of Zelda game. The game was TLOZ: A Link to the Past.

The plot of the game is simple: a mage named Agahnim is kidnapping all the descendents of the seven sages, and a hero called Link, a boy who comes from a noble lineage, has to help the kingdom of Hyrule of that mage.
The Link of this game.

The gameplay is not very difficult. You have a menu where you can select your gadges that you find in the dungeons, and some passives items that can help you, for example the Pegasus Boots or the Power Glove. There's also some puzzles in the game but they are very simple. The only way you can die in this game is against the final boss or against some annoying enemy.
The graphics are not spectacular because the game was first released for the Super Nintendo System and then for the Game Boy.

After finishing the game, I didn't think of it like a normal game, I thought that there is a great story after every game and I realized that a good game doesn't need a good graphics, it has to have a great story and good mechanics.

I'm addicted to...

Last week I turned on the computer and I saw something. It was a game called League of Legends, or LoL, and I started playing again, and I realized that I was addicted to the game again after leaving it some months.

To explain why I'm addicted again, I think that I have to explain briefly the game. In the game there are two teams of 5 players each one. The goal of the game is go the enemy base and destroy the nexus. In the game there is a jungle where some enemys spawn. In the lanes the players fight each other while they are killing the minions that the nexus is spawning.

And now, why I'm addicted to this game again? I don't know why I'm still playing it, maybe because I don't have anything better to do or maybe because I'm stupid.
The comunity of this game is worse than anything. When you play and you fail one time, they blame you and they insult you, but if they fail and you say like "Next time you will do it better", they will be angry and some times they will leave the game (AFK).

Dispatches: Will France’s State of Emergency Ever End?

Link 

Summary:
France is in the State of Emergency because some months ago, there were a terrorist attack, and the government decided to put this state on the country. While the country is in State of Emergency, the army can search in people's house without judicial warrants, and also they can impose control orders, in order to stop or difficult the movement of the people. All this affects mostly to the muslim people that live in France.

In 2016 Human Rights Watch, had known that the army enter in the houses with violence in the houses of these people, and sometimes they can traumatize the children that live there or break all the furniture that they have.

Opinion:
If we think, this is very stupid. I know that the government can be scared for more attacks, but not all the muslims are terrorist, or are they? The government of France should take out this State of Emergency because it's useless. It only brings problems and disgrace to all the families that are affected by this.

Final Reflection

My first post in batxillerat was this one and the last one is this.
When I see my first composition, I think that my english level was very bad. Now that we know more vocabulary than then, I see that I improved a lot, because now I can use the modals for example.

For the oral presenation, the first one was the presentation about the rusefeering (unfortunately I haven't done the self evaluation) and the last was about the oral presentation of my research project.
I remember my first oral presentation, and it was a disaster. I didn't talked the five minutes, I looked the paper all the time and I was nervous.
But now, with this last oral presentation, I see that I have improved. For example, I was nervous at one moment, that I have been like paralyzed and I couldn't say anything. My pronuntation I think that's the same as in first batxillerat and finally, I respected the time, I think that I talked like six minutes.

My best composition is the Human Rights e-mail to the president of the United States of Ameria.
I think that is the best because there are more technicalities than the other composition. And also because the mark of these one is the best mark in my compositions. Also I think that is better because the topic of the human rights is an important topic in our lifes, and maybe that's why I writed this.

My best oral presentation is the last one, the presentation about my research project. Why I choosed this? Well, I think that's the best oral evidence because the mark was great that the other oral evidence, and if we compare the vocabulary and the grammar that I have used, I think that is good enough.

Human Rights e-mail

Dear Mr President of the United States of America,

We are writing to complain about the violation of the article 16 in our country.

Basically, the epicenter of the problem is that the average of American population do not respect homosexual couples and marriages yer in the 21st century. We think that we live in a retrograde society that think that homosexuality is an ilness or something weird or strange or incorrect. In the majority of our states homosexual marriage is illegal.

Firstly, I would like to point out that the illegality of homosexual marriages is unnacceptable, based on the first article of human rights the human are born free and equal, so why two persons of the same sex that are free and equal could not marry.

Secondly, it will be good if our country takes more policies that help population to be aware of the true equality and respect.

In conclusion, we think that the change should begun from the upper social spheres from this country, we very much hope that you will look into this matter to change history.

We look forward to your reply

Yours sincerely,

Ali and Luis

Human Rights

The human rights are the rights that all the people in the world have simply because they are humans. These are rights becaue you are allowed to have, do or have things. They were created on 1948 in the United Nations. After a lot of constituions and people trying to stop war and discrimination, the Natural Rights evolved into the Human Rights. In total there are 30.
After reading The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I didn't know the Article #16. This article says that the people can marry even if they are from another country or they don't have the same religion. For example here in Spain or in some european countries like , this right is respected because it doesn't matter what religion do you believe or where are you from, even your sexuality, here these people can marry. But in the african countries, these rights aren't respected. In Morocco two people that believe in diferent religion can't marry and if they are homosexual, they will die. In the city where I live, Beni Mellal, an homosexual was brutally killed and murderers removed the clothes of the murdered and put it on the street.
I think that's a shame because we all are human and we should respect the Human Rights.

Self Evaluation

Presentation: 7% Because the timing was 6 minutes and I used some images on the powerpoint.
Body Language: I will give me a 5% because I was very nervous and in some part I looked to the paper, but in some occasions I looked the people.
Structure: 7% The presentation was structured. firstly I talked about the author, then about some of his work and then I did a brief explanation of two characters, Goku and Vegetta and finally some curiosites.
Content: 29%
Language: Between 10 and 16%. I tried to use some technicalities but it was difficult for this theme.
Pronunciation: 6% Even that I don't pronunciate very well some words, I think that I did it well.
Final Mark: 70%

South African kidnapper of baby Zephany Nurse guilty

Link

Summary:
On 1977 a baby was kidnapped by an old woman, who was the nurse of the hospital were the baby was born,  in Cape Town. The baby was the daughter of Celeste Nurse.

The nurse said that she was the and the girl says that she is her mother. The nurse also had said that the baby was adopted by her and a woman called Sylvia gave her the baby, but the police didn't find that woman. They gave her the name of Zephany and the kidnappers have apologised to the biological parents for everything that they have done to them.

Opinion:
The kidnapper should have adopted a baby instead of stealing it. Maybe the kidnapper couldn't have any babies or maybe her husband, but this doesn't justifes the steal of the little baby. At this moment, there are a lot of children that have lost their parents and they want a family, they should have gone to this place and adopt someone.

Stardew Valley and the piracy

Some days ago ConcernedApe released a game called Stardew Valley. The game was made only by one person and it looks very good. The story is very simple and easy to understand.

Your grandfather is in his bed and he gives you a letter and he tolds you to open it when you are tired of the city. You open the letter and you go to a farm and you have to plant, harvest, fish some fishes and shrimps, go to a mine, etc. The gameplay is very good and it hasn't got any bugs.

Well, a lot of people bought the game and they really enjoyed, but there are some people who don't want to pay for this game and they have downloaded it. These people, played the game and they have seen that the game is very attractive and funny and they finally bought it.

I'm really happy for the developer, because he worked hard and he finally recieved the reward of his work.

On the game platform Steam, there are a lot of positive reviews, like the 91-94% and the stadistics of the people who have bought the game it has increased a lot.

Doctors weigh in on dangers of Wi-Fi signal exposure

Link
Summary:
The news talks about the issues of being exposed on Wi-Fi networks.
It starts saying that the exposure of the radiation can affect the devolpment of the children. And that concerns the iPad, laptop and the other devices that the people ususally have at home.
The doctor Harold Naiman said that the exposure of the radiation can cause infertility in males and contribute to some illnesses like cancer. They advise us to use the airplane mode to reduce the radiation of the Wi-Fi connection or turn it off during the night.

Opinion:
It's true that this network can affect our body and cause us some irreversible problems, but nowadays the people are addicted to the Internet and when they are at home, on the bed they use the Wi-Fi because they need to update their status or upload some images. It's okay to use it sometime and whey you are not doing anything you should turn it off or shutdown the router.

That Dragon, Cancer

The game That Dragon, Cancer talks about a family with an ill son, in that case Joel. He is 4 years old and he has cancer. This is related with the life of the creator because he had a son named Joel and he died because he had cancer. 

In the game you are the father and you have to play, talk and take care of your son and the relationship will grow up or will decrease, it depends of your actions. 

I like that the people had supported the creator, and the people who had played the game had said that it has changed their world view. For example this review: "Not only did That Dragon, Cancer make me sad, it also made me grateful for the life I have right now. Never will I waste one moment in my life. Thank you Numinous games. Great job."

Chimichanga

Some days ago I went to the cinema to watch the movie of Deadpool, and I really enjoyed the movie. It was a humor movie because the plot wasn't good enough. I think that they took the humor of the comics and they put it on the cinema. The plot was very simple.

Wade Wilson is a type of mercenary who accepts works and he does it for the money. He mets a women called Vanessa, which is a prostitue. On the comics, she is a mutant, but on the movie she is human. Their relationship goes well but suddenly the doctors diagnose him cancer.
After some time a man would like to recruit him and finally after a lot of experiments and suffering, he becomes an ugly person and he gains a regenerative power, which is better than the regenerative power of Wolverine. Francis a.k.a Ajax, the scientis who did the experiments to Deadpool, thinks that he is died but after knowing that this isn't true he kidnaps Vanessa and Deadpool with the help of two of the X-Men saves her.

As I said the plot was very simple, but they put a lot of references to some movies and some superheroes like Wolverine and Spidey. Another think is that they should explain more the Deadpool character, for example that he is schizophrenic because his neuron are regenerating, or that he is crazy and he never shuts his mouth or that he breaks the fourth wall talking with the audience.

If you want to laugh a lot, you should go to see the movie

Can the Internet make the world a better place?

A lot of people asks if the Internet or the technology can make the world a better place to live. If we think it carefully we would say yes, but we have to see the pros and the cons.

Firstly the technology has helped a lot of people creating new medecines and new devices, and with these devices, the humanity can investigate even more things. Secondly the technology can be used for fun and for laugh for example the platform Youtube or Vine. Additionally, with the Internet we can communicate between us even if we live in different countries, or we can search information for our homeworks or research papers.

But there are some consequences with the Internet. Nowadays, a lot of hackers, rapers and kidnappers are on the network and it can be a dangerous place to stay. They can install some viruses on your PC and get some information like where do you live or some of your personal infromation. The kidnappers can use the Google Map app to search some coordinates and find houses and plan a kidnap.

In conclusion, I would say that the Internet is not a safe place at all but it is not a very dangerous place, all you have to do is set a safesearch filter or parental control to control this hackers and make the world a better place.

Places to visit in Japan

The first place you have to visit is the capital and the largest city, Tokyo.

Tokyo is also called Tokyo Metropolis and is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. It is located on the Kanto region, in the Honshu Island.
It was originally caled Edo, which means estuary, but when the Emperor Meiji came, he changed the name.

In Tokyo there are a few places that you have to visit.

1.Shibuya: In Shibuya you can find a lot of cloth shops and a lot of people. There is the Statue of Hachiko, the dog who waited his master, and the Shibuya Crossing, where a lot of people walk there everyday. A lot of young people go there because there are some leisure places.


2.Akihabara: It is also know as Akiba. If you like anime and manga, you should go there. It is a place with a lot of shops. In this shops you can find some of old consoles or games like the Super Nintendo or games like Final Fantasy IV or one of the first Dragon Quest. The main area of Akihabara is located on a street just west of Akihabara Station, where most of the major shops are situated. Most of the electronics shops are just west of the station, and the anime and manga shops and the cosplay cafés are north of them.


3. The Tokyo Tower and the Skytree tower: The Tokyo tower is located on the Shiba Park and his design is based on the Torre Eiffel's one. It has 332.6 m long and his mass is 4000 t. It works like an antenna.
The Skytree tower is a broadcasting, restaurant and observation tower located in Sumida. His full height is 634 m and is the tallest structure in Japan, the tallest tower in the world, but it is no the tallest structure in the world. With the paronamic views, it has become one of the favourite's places to visit in Tokyo.

Another place that you have to visit in Japan is Nara. There are some shrines and temples that you can visit and you can walk a lot in this place. You can visit the Nara Park, where are lot of deers and you can buy some cookies and give them.

Remakes and Reboots

The game industry and the cinema industry are doing more remakes and reboots of some of their great works. On the game industry there is the example of the Devil May Cry series or the game Final Fantasy VII that will be released with new graphics and new gameplay this year. The first case is a reboot because they did a new game after some years explaining the origins of the main character.
But on the second case, they took a game that was released on 1997 and they want to change some things to do the game more beautiful, and a lot of people says that was the last resource of the company Square Enix.

I think that some of the remakes are good, but when more companies do more remakes and reboot, more people will do this and this will be an infinite loop. They should see and ask the people if they want this or they shouldn't say anything until the games is finished.

Love

The last Tuesday we talked about love and why do we love. We saw a video where some philosphers explain why do we love and why we search love.
In the video are some explanation like this: Once upon a time, we were humans with two heads, four arms and four legs, and one day the gods were angered and they separated the humain beings in two and that's why the people search their soul mate because they feel incomplete.

I'm not agree with this and I think that the people can live alone perfectly. A lot of people say that is impossible and you need someone, because the humanity like to be loved.

When I say alone it means without loving anyone, but you can have friends. For example me. I don't like anyone and I tolerate the people that are with me, because I don't trust anybody. I think that the people nowadays are absolutely false, and they always have a fake smile on their faces, and for me is sick. Maybe one day they are you friend but maybe the next day they will insult you or leave you behind and alone.

La Celestina

The last week I had an exam of a book that will be in Selectivitat. The book is La Celestina.
I think that the plot is good and interesting but the edition that I had read it was very difficult to understand. Why? I say this because the vocabulary that is on the book isn't very up-to-date, and the ortography was worse. I tried to read it but when I had like 30 pages readen, I didn't understand anything.
I know that the book is very old, but if they do a new edition, they have should have writted the book to the people that doesn't understand that vocabulary.

Technology

The social media that I use are Youtube, Twitter, Skype and sometimes Facebook. I vist a lot of times Youtube because I like watching videos about games and technology, and sometimes some funny videos.

When I use Skype, I use it to talk with my friends while we are playing together and sometimes to talk with the family.

I think that the social media is very useful nowadays because we can learn with videos or talk with our family quickly, but we shouldn't use it a lot because could become addictive.
