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.

Princess Mononoke

This movie is from Hayao Miyazaki and it was animated by the Studio Ghibli. The movie talks about the story of Ashitaka, his village, a God and one girl named Mononoke.  It's from Hayao Miyazaki and so it's very good.

Ashitaka's village is attacked by a giant boar possesed by something. Ashitaka saves the village, but something enters in his arm and the story starts. He has to leave the village and go to find a God to save his arm. In his travel, he saves some people and they thanked him with food and one place to sleep. In the other village he meets new people and the Princess Mononoke, a girl rised by two wolves.

What I liked in the movie it was the characters and their personalities. Because there are greedy people, nice people, etc. The Original Soundtrack it's very good and I've enjoyed listening it in the movie and out the movie. And the plot was original and in some parts it was very funy.

My opinion of this movie is that you have to see it because is very emotive, too. I hope Hayao Miyazaki continues doing more movies like this because in the Japanese animation is one of the best.
If I have to give a star rating, I will give 4 stars,

Description

His name is Javier García and he has been living in Castelló since 1998, when he was born. Now he's studying batxillerat in INS Castelló d'Empuries. He's keen on boxing and playing videogames. And now I'm going to descibe him.

He's fond of of wearing fashion clothes. Javi is shortish for his age, brown-eyed and brown-haired. A beard is startin to grow on his face. He wears glasses and he has a piercing in his ear.

He's a person who is two-faced with the people he hates, he doesn't forgive you if you do something to him and he will revenge. He's generous, hard-working, now he works a lot for passing. He is aggresive if you insult him.

I think he is a good person and friend, because if someone wants to hit you, he will help you. And he will lend his homework to you if you need it.

Police raid gamer's office while he was live-streaming

Link 

Summary

An american streamer was playing when several officers entered the room and arrested him. The boy was playing a game called Counter Strike. He was streaming via Twitch when the officers entered and shouted to him. Someone called the officers telling that a terrorist is there. The term is called Swatting. The game continued and at the end can be heard this: Terrorist Win.

Opinion
I think that is not true and this has to be a prank, because when the officers entered the room, one of them looked at the cam and the screen. But if this is true I guess they have to find the culprit and punish him because it's not funny to call the officers. Because maybe someone important is happening and they are in a house with a boy playing a video game.

Akira Toriyama

I will talk about Akira Toriyama and his best work. He is a japanese man who was born in Nagoya, Japan. He started with the manga industry in 1977. His first manga was Dr.Slump. This manga talks about the Penguin Village and his habitants, it talks about Arale exaclty. This was his first work and a lot of people like it. Some time later, he started working with Dragon Ball and it was a great work and everyone like it, too.

After this he started to work in another projects and designing characters to games like Chrono Trigger, Blue Dragon, Dragon Ball and many others.
I think he is the best manga author in the world because he has inspired a lot of people to draw, like me. If I hadn't seen Dragon Ball, I would not have liked to draw.

Gap Year

I will talk about a gap year if I do it. If I had to choose a country it will be the United Kingdom, but if I can go to a country where don't speak English primarily I will go to Japan.
The first thing I will do is find a place to stay. I have a friend in London so I will talk to him and ask if I stay with him for a time, but if I can't stay with him, I will rent a flat.
After this I will go to the Big Ben or the British Museum, and then go to some cities to visit. I will try new food and of course I will learn English.

Football

In what many people currently think is in football, because when they watch it they feel good and they forget all they sorrows or troubles. I think that in Spain, the government uses the football to hide the crisis and all the problems in the world.
But watch football occasionally is good and if you love it, good for you. But think about all the players and the money they earn with all the matches or with the promo they do. If they give some money to the poor people in Spain, for example, there won't be crisis anymore.

Don't do it

In many Muslim countires a lot of parents practice the clitoridectomy in their daughters. I think this is immoral because the girls should not suffer this only because they parents think that is the correct for them. When you ask to someone if the clitroridectomy is right to practice they say no, and if you ask in which country do they think, a lot of people answer Dubai or Saudi Arabia or some countries in Central Africa.
I am Muslim and I don't agree with this.

Animals are also living beings

Some people think that animals are inferior than humans and that's why they beat and mistreat them. And some people buy a dog or a cat when they still are puppies, but when the pet grows up, the man leaves the pet in the street because they love the animals when they are cute.

I think this is immoral because animals need not endure this, and they are human beings and if they are it, they have feelings too. If you want a pet, you should not buy it. It is better to adopt one.
