NASA discovers entire new solar system

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/nasa-new-solar-system-announcement-today-aliens-latest-image-picture-look-like-a7593621.html

Scientists have found an entire solar system taht could support life.They have made one of the greatest discoveries in history, they really found seven planets that are in orbit around a relatively nerby star.

And three of them appear to satisfy many of the most important requirements for life, they are the same size as Earth and could feature a rocky floor and water.

Scientist hope to do extra work to discover what is on them and how they are formed, and if they detect certain molecules in the atmosphere, they can be almost sure that aliens can be found there.

Scientists say that living on the planets would be a beautiful sight.

In this planets everything would look a lot darker than usual, the scientists said. The amount of light heading to your eye would be about 200 times less than you get from the sun, and would be comparable to what you can see at sunset.

Despite that, everything would still feel warm, the researchers said.

MY OPINION:

   This news is exciting and incrediblethe same time, Every time there are more things that can prove that there is life on other planets.

Personally I believe that in these seven new planets that have found there is life, I do not know what kind of life if humans like us or aliens or anything else, but I am sure that there is life in other places.

I think this news is very interesting but they have taken a long time to give it, because surely for years the nasa knows of the existence of these planets.

Apart from this, I am very excited to see that more is discovered on the planets and to be able to discover if there really are more people in the world

Racism and Homophobia

http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Transgender-Woman-Shot-to-Death-in-Englewood-414766533.html

This news talks about the murder of a transgender woman in Englewood and I think is related with the global issue of racism and homophobia to the collective LGBT.

Transgender Woman shot to death in Englewood

Transgender Woman shot to death in EnglewoTransgender Woman shot to death in EnglThe victim who was a 24-year-old transgender woman was shot to death Tuesday morning in the Englewood neighbourhood on Chicago's South Side.

The family and friends of the victim knew her as Tiara Richmond but she also was knew as Keke Colliner, said an advocate.

Tiara was in a car with a male in the 7300 block of South May Street when the man shot her. When the police arrived, they found her Richmond lying on the ground nearby with gunshot wounds to her chest, arm and hand.

Richmond was the second transgender woman killed in Chicago in less than six months, the other woman who was killed was found with her throat  cut in the 4500 block of West Monroe, according to authorities.

Personal opinion:

This news is very sad, It’s clear that we don’t know what happened exactly and what were the boy's reasons for killing her but first of all this news is terrible, I will never understand how one person can kill another, never. You're taking everything away from that person how can you live with that.

 And then the fact that she was a transgender woman. The LGBT collective it have always been despised and criticized and of course, not accepted by many people. I am completely in favour of them, is to say I have so many friends who are gay and that doesn’t  mean that they have to be treated differently from the other people.

I find it embarrassing that in the century that we are people kill people for being themselves or criticize them for being of the collective LGBT.

Technology Addition

Today I’m here to talk about Technology addition because I think it’s an issue that effects us all. 

Nowadays see people with their phones everywhere is the most normal but I think we are not doing things right. I’m the first to admit that I'm always on my cell phone, always and that’s not good. 

As a personal experience I have to say that I use the cell phone for everything, from talking to friends to reading books. And many times I wonder, “When I let my life depend on an electronic Device?” of course my life doesn’t depend on the cell phone but it’s a way of expressing this addiction.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees that this is getting out of hand, we only have to see children of 7 years, who already have a phone, it’s crazy because they don’t have the need to have one. When I was little me and my friends spent the afternoons in the park playing or playing anywhere but playing. Now children play with game consoles, they are missing experiences and memories of childhood because many of them spend the evenings in front of a screen.

Even when I'm 16 I'm losing things in life because I'm so hooked on tecnologies, this thing is a complete madness. Many times when you stay with your friends even being next to each other we talk on the phone or just hang out with the phone and it’s like you have your friends in front, and you prefer to spend the time in front of a screen than talking with them.

To this kind of things I mean when I talk about the addition to Technology and now I only can think “What are we doing with our lives?”

SKAM

Today I’m here to talk about a new series that I discovered this Christmas. This series is from Norway and It’s called Skam (that in Norwegian means shame), the series focuses on the daily life of teenagers at the at the Hartvig Nissen School in West End Oslo. At first glance it seems to be another stupid series for teenagers but I already tell you that it has nothing similar to the others.

I started to hear about this series in early November on twitter but only a few people talked about it, at the end of November, thousands of people were talking about the series and I’m not kidding, at least more than 25 people told me to see Skam because I wouldn’t regret it.

So I started it on a weekend without any expectation, the result was that I saw the first season and part of the second in three days It was a complete madness, because the series in norwegian so I had to saw it with subtitles in English.

I have to say it's one of the best series I've ever seen, it’s not like the typical ones. It deals with topics such as homophobia, racism and both mental and physical problems. Skam have taught me a lot of things and values.

So I recommend it a lot to everyone

Here I leave some quotes of the series:

"War doesn't start with violence. It starts with misunderstandings and prejudice."

"We live in a society because we need each other. People need people"

"People experience horrible things every day, and they still manage to be nice to others"

“That all people in this world are equal and that no person should be talked about behind their back, violated, jugded or ridiculed"

"So if you hear anybody use religion to legitimise their hate, then don't listen to them, because hate doesn't come from religion, it comes from fear."

Trump suspends US refugee programme and bans Syrians indefinitely

 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38777437


The new president of USA Donald Trump, has banned the entry of Syrian refugees into the US and 

He has also halted the issuing of visas to the nationals of six other mainly Muslim countries. He said that the measure were part of a new measures to "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the US".

Now, all refugee admissions have been suspended for four months.

Mr Trump signed the order at the Pentagon after a ceremony to swear in Gen James Mattis as defence secretary. During the ceremony, he said: "I'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America.”.

During the election campaign, Mr Trump suggested a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".

The executive order has been met with criticism from rights organisations.

MY OPINION:

I’m completely terrified by this news. It’s assumed that we are in 2017, we have to move forward and support and help each other.

I don’t know what he is doing, he is promoting hatred towards Islam and this is completely crazy, because he is an important person and every decision he take has a repercussion in the world. What he has done should be banned. In my point of view you can’t forbid people to enter to your country just because of religion.

And another thing I want to say is that he has only prohibited the entry of people from countries where he has no business.

How many years have we been fighting for the equality of people and rights? So many years of fight for a person like him to come and throw everything away. This new measure that he has done is simply embarrassing and only shows the type of person that he is. 

The poor refugees, I'm sure that they would love to be in their country with their families and not running away from their house.

And I think as he continues to make decisions like this, he will create many more problems in the world of those that already exist.

Personality Test

The results of the test that we realized the another day in class, say that my type is INFJ and the rate is that I'm 41% Introvert, 19% Intuitive, 25% Feeling and 9% Judging.

I'm agree with that results especially with Introvert and less with the 9% of Judging, because I think I don't have a preference of Judging.

The result of the fashion quiz, says that my style is Urban, and I'm totally agree with that.

Americans are like children

Michelle Obama, Barack Obama’s wife. Gave her las interview as US First Lady. The interview was with Oprah Winfrey and she talk about her husband, and about the Obama administration's legacy.

She said that children respond to crises the way that they see adults respond and to reinforce that argument she gave the example of a toddler who bumps his head on a table and checks with his parents to see if it should hurt, and depending on the parents response, the toddler will have a reaction or another.

But she also added that she thinks that Barack Obama has been a parental figure for his nation. And all the inhabitants would be the children, so referring to the example given above, If Barack would say in thimes of crisis and turmoil that it would be okey and the americans should look at the future.

She finally said that all of this taught American kids to stay focused and know that their work and lives were not in vain.

My Opinion

At first I didn't understan well the news, but then I realized that Michelle is absolutely right. When we are young and we get hurt with something our reaction also depends on the reaction of our parents.

 So in politics It's totally the same. If our president tells us that despite the crisis the country is going well, our reaction will be good. And if the tables were turned our reaction would be bad.

By this I mean that our reaction depends on another person. And I think Michelle is a very smart woman and I'm completly agree with what she thinks.

Purpose Tour Experience

On november 22 after 6 years being fan of Justin, I was able to attend to his concert in Barcelona. He came with his tour to present his album Purpose.

That day I arrived at the Palau Sant Jordi, at half past eleven, and I was so late because I had standing tickets and means that to be at front rows I should had camped at least two days.

But me and my friend, we had a lot of luck, because some friends of mine. They arrived at eight in the morning and they left us stand beside them in the line.

I remember that once inside we were very surprised because we were pretty close to the stage.

Justin started the concert and immediately I lost the others so I had to spend the concert alone. But that was not a problem because I enjoyed it very much.

When I saw him for the first time, I was in shock, And I'm here writing this and I can not find the words to describe everything I felt, so I can only say that it was magical and unique.

I started the concert in row 12 and end on the 5. And I can only thank God for letting me experience such a magical experience like this, because I think life is, after all, these magic moments that you live.

TED TALKS ON FASHION

Cameron Russell is an international model, she have work for Vogue, Victoria secret and so many brands like Ralph Lauren. She think looks aren't everything, and talks about the fashion industry and photography.

First of all, before start talking, she change her outfit, for a simple one. And I think she has changed her clothes, for focus the talk in what she really want to say and no how she looks. She says image is a superficial thing, that we see what the photographers wants us to see, and clearly all the photos are retouched.

And also adds that all the photos we see of her, we don't really see her. We see a look or a character that has been created for a group of stylist and photographers.

She says that she is surprised for the percentage of girl who are not compfortable with their body, and, the entire fashion industry has created a model of perfect girl, and all the gils who are not like that model feel bad because they believe they are not pretty enough. And partly for that reaseon image is superficial

I totally agree, with everything she says, and I think more models should discuss issues as well.

Favourite picture of the exposition

In Barcelona, we visited an exposition of the refugees from war in the Palau Robert.

Of all the pictures we saw I choose this one, because I think it's an amazing and so special picture I see a lot of feelings at the same time.

The picture was taken when a Sirian girl was saying goodbye to her friends in a taxi that will take her to Melilla port, from where she and her family will travel to the Iberian Peninsula.
