Fidel Castro Died, And Cuban Exiles Threw A Party In Miami

http://elitedaily.com/news/politics/fidel-castro-died-cuban-miami/1702605/

To many, he was a cruel dictator. To others, he was a revolutionary icon. To all, he is now deceased.
On Friday, Cuban leader Fidel Castro died at the age of 90, nearly 58 years after he first took power in the Caribbean nation.
The news came from current Cuban president Raúl Castro, who announced his brother’s death on state-run television.



This last Friday 25th of November has died at the age of ninety Fidel Castro, he ruled with a firm hand during more of fifty years in the island of Cuba.
Fidel Castro arrived to the power after to lead the Cuban Revolution, that it triumphed the 1st of January of 1959, overthrowing the Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship.
Afterwards he became allies with the Soviet Union, with whom had protection and important economic helps, and he declared his enmity with The United States, that for him it meant the imperialism.
Fidel Castro, at the beginning, was with the support (very backed) of the cuban population in general and among of the good things that emphasise of his mandate are the promotion of the education and the sport, doing of Cuba an example of these disciplines.
He was losing popularity with the years, because he acted with a fierce discipline and also for the embargo of The United States and the less support of the Soviet Union stifling the population and leading them to ruin.

HIP'S REPLACEMENT OPERATION

In all the replacements, included in the hips, there has been a evolution very important these last years. Before, the unique that was realized was to cut the femur's head for after to hammer inside it the replacement (of titanium, ceramic, etc.). Also, it put in the hip (acetabulum) a semicircle to do the rotation or game with the other part of the femur. 


Nowadays, there is other variation that it calls surface's replacement. It consists to put in the femur's head a plaque that it fits in with this semicircle that it puts in the coccyx without necessity to cut the femur's bone. In this, the recuperation is faster and it could  do normal life in six months.

Other of the news it's the anaesthetic's type that previously was did with total anaesthetic and currently, it does with local anaesthetic (type epidural).

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OBAMA AND TRUMP

With difficulty Donald Trump could have the charisma and the acceptance it has managed Barack Obama.

Obama and his family have showed a proximity to the nation unusual in the preidents of the United States. Also it has influenced in his charm the fact to be black.

Obama is more moderate than DonaldTrump. Trump, there's still left to see the things he will do like president, but the things he has shown us up to now is that he's tyrant, racist, sexist, etc.

TIME'S CHANGE

Time's change from winter to summer that we have done these last days, according to the experts, it's make it for the matter of energy save, but to level personal, I consider, that is a disruption.







For to be fair and considering the differences that existing in our country between Balearic and Canary Islands, I think, that the logical would be that in Balearic they remain with the time of summer, in the peninsula one less hour that these and in Canary Islands and in Galicia one less hour in relation to the peninsula, that is two regarding Balearic.

Hillary Clinton On Losing Election: ‘These Have Been Very, Very Tough Days’

http://elitedaily.com/news/politics/hillary-clinton-election-loss-very-tough-days/1690349/

On Friday night, Hillary Clinton held a conference call with volunteers and told them she wasn't going to “sugarcoat it.”
She went on to inform them that “these have been very, very tough days.”
Yes, I’d agree with you on that one, Hill. I’ve been a wreck this whole week. In fact, it’s very, very tough just writing about this.
Clinton made sure to press her volunteers to “get back out there and keep fighting.”



These last days we have seen the terrible scene between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for the fight to the power.
It seems it's worth everything for to disqualify the opponent without contribute nothing new in regards to solutions for the citizens.
It's incredible that these type of people (Trump) they can become leaders of a country so much important as United States and as he can require anything to the north americans being he the first to break the rules.

MARC MÁRQUEZ

Marc Márquez Alentà is a spanish motorcycle pilot that currently runs in the king category of MotoGP. He has taken five titles in the three existing categories. On 2010 he won in 125cc, where presently is Moto3, on 2012 in Moto2 and with only twenty-three years old is three-time MotoGP world champion (the maximum category), where he proclaimed winner on 2013, 2014 and this year (2016), beating with a lot of authority and showing to be better to his opponents.




There are a small number of persons they have so much talent and that they are so much constant to get his objectives as Marc Márquez. It's to admire that a person as young as him have his goals clear and knows that the unique form to get them is based on work and constant effort.

Does humor play an important role in life?

Our life will always be better with humor because if there isn't it, I think, life would be very sad and bored.

On the one hand, the humor can help you to exit difficult situations and hard moments in your life. For example, if someone fails an exam he will be sad probably, but if somebody makes him laughes he will forget the exam for a short or maybe for a long period of time, and that will help him to carry on with his life and forget the real life (the mark) for a determinate time .




On the other hand, if there isn't humor in our life all would be the same, the humor does the life different. For example, if someone has every time the same character, I think, his life will be very sad, monotonous, because the thing that does a person go on with his life is the change of personality (laugh, cry,...). It's very important to see the good things of the life and see it with other perspectives.



In conclusion, our life will be better with a person near to you with humor or if you makes laugh other people because you will laugh too. If someone has both things will be better. All is more easy with humor.

Former Miss Teen USA Says She Was Warned Trump ‘Doesn’t Like Black People’

http://elitedaily.com/news/miss-teen-usa-trump-racism/1657762/

Things haven’t been looking too good for Donald Trump lately.
Ever since the nation was exposed to his boasts about how he treats women and how he likes to “grab them by the pussy,” a lot of women have come forth to share their own personal experiences with the Republican nominee.
Recently, four contestants of 1997 Miss Teen USA told Buzzfeed News Trump would walk into their dressing rooms while they were changing.
And now, we’ve learned through another pageant competitor that Trump is not only a total creep, but also very, very racist.
Kamie Crawford, winner of 2010’s Miss Teen USA, warned her Twitter followers on Wednesday night that he “doesn’t like black people.”

One of the celebrities whose is giving more to talk presently is Donald Trump, Republican Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2016 election.
This man who possess a big fortune and that he had recognised not pay taxes, among other things, is a tyrant who believes that he is over the right and the wrong. 
The most sad of that is these type of people have a lot of supporters, what show us one more that the human race will become extinct by your stupid own.

DIFFICULT DECISION

We know in the life is all a decision and when we choose somethings we renounce to others.

In my case is especially difficult select what I will do in a next future. I refer to the theme of studies. I'm doing second of bachillerato and in less than one year I will have to take a degree. Is not easy with 16-17 years old know to define what can be the best election, although I trust that during this year I will be clarifying my ideas.

At the beginning the people advise me that I choose something that I like or attract me and since then select it the most advisable.

In where we live the thing with more exit is all related with the toursim.

My personal opinion of "Graduation...now what?"

This psychologist that previously was math teacher arrived at the psychology thanks to her curiosity in value what was the things that did a person (student) be more brilliant that another one, as much in the studies, professional life, etc. 

According to her study she arrives at the conclusion that is not important the IQ, studies, etc., but the fundamental is the determination.

She defines the determination as fix a challenge and fight day by day, year by year to get it. Take things as an marathon and not as a sprint race.


I, personally, love the comparison that she does with the sport, because I think the life is a constant training and only meet his goals the people who never give up in spite of the tumbles (damages).

FIRST EMAIL

Hi teacher! How are you?
I am Marc Rodríguez and I'm doing second of scientific bachillerat.
I am writing this email to tell you a little bit of which is my goal.
My challenge in this year is only one, but I think is the most important. 
This objective is to overcome second of bachillerat with a good grade if it's possible.
I want to finish this school year with good results because last year I ended first of bach with a bad mark, I think, and this year I will put my best effort to get a better global mark and like this can choose a degree that I like. 
I will face this challenge, never I will give up on myself!


                                                                                    See you soon, 
                                                                                                            Marc Rodríguez.

The homework that inspires horror in families

 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36500648

Homework can sometimes be a nightmare - for both children and their parents. In France the ritual of copying out poems and learning them by heart is no exception and can fill whole families with horror, writes Joanna Robertson in Paris.

Le cahier de poesie - the poetry book - is a standard-format exercise book required by every primary school child in France. Ninety-four mixed pages, lined and blank. The lined - for the pupil to copy out the text of a poem. The blank - for them to provide an illustration.

The schoolchild homeworks, in France, as in Spain (we imagine that in more countries), I think that are excessive, because the student when finishes his school timetable he has to continue at home so much more time studying. That suppose that both for parents and for children can't dedicate to their free time, that is convenient.
On the other land, is very questioned the contribution of so many homeworks to the student learning, because in other countries with less homeworks they obtain better academic results.
 

The house where the Philippines' forgotten 'comfort women' were held

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36537605

Hundreds of thousands of women and girls across Asia were raped and forced into sexual slavery by Japanese soldiers during World War Two. Some have been offered a direct apology and compensation from the Japanese government - but not in the Philippines. The last survivors there want their suffering to finally be acknowledged.

Today the majestic blood-red villa is crumbling, but memories of the atrocities committed inside it haven't faded.

As it can confirms in this article, the equality of the woman in the world is still an objective to get.
In some countries more than others, the women are treated as sexual objects, without have any type of right.
Occasionally, the excuse is the religion, in others the wars, etc. but the final result always is the same, the woman humiliation.
Even, in the supposed developed countries continues having notable differences between men and women (salary, role, etc.). 

Euro 2016: Hungary, Belgium and Portugal federations charged

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36570929

The football associations of Hungary, Belgium and Portugal are the latest to be charged by UEFA over the behaviour of their supporters at Euro 2016.

The Hungarian federation is charged with crowd disturbances, the setting off of fireworks and the throwing of objects during their draw with Iceland.
The Belgian association is charged with the setting off of fireworks and the throwing of objects during their win over Republic of Ireland, while Portugal are charged with a field invasion during the draw with Austria.

Now, in the Euro 2016 of France, we can see the part more negative of the supporters, that they confuse the football or other event with a battle field.
With these actions we realize that the human evolution can be questioned, because these individuals still are in the prehistory.
All this, we would have to reflect and think about that this is sign plus of one society without values.

E3: Hopes of a games arcade revival

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36558593

The necessity of games arcades was due to the sophisticated technology on offer. Dedicated cabinets had computers set up to play that game and that game alone. Home gaming, in the very early days of Space Invaders, was simply too expensive for most.

As time went on, technology got better. And cheaper. Suddenly, games arcades were losing their purpose in life. If a PlayStation gave you as good an experience in your bedroom, why go to a building and spend your spare change to play for just a few minutes at a time? 

We verify one time more that the technology continues progressing, as is the case of virtual reality.
All of this technology can use with playful purposes (video games, simulators, etc.) or scientifics (surgery, electronics, etc.).
All of these technological utensils, sometimes, develop thinking about specific purposes and after they develop to other fields that at the beginning were unthinkable, as happen with all warlike topic, arms theme.
 

Jo Cox MP death: Thomas Mair in court on murder charge

 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-36567005

Thomas Mair gave his name as "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain", when he appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Mrs Cox, 41, was shot and stabbed in Birstall, West Yorkshire, on Thursday.
Members of her family visited the scene on Saturday to read floral tributes and thank gathered crowds for their support.
Speaking in the village's market square Kim Leadbeater, Mrs Cox's sister, described the MP as "perfect".

This case is a sign plus of the manipulation they do the politicians with their scary discourse. They use it for the people vote in favour of the things that they expect get.
All of this, to the extreme, lead to actions as their this individual, that is kill in name of one political idea.
I think the politicians confused when they want polarise so many the ideas, they would have to do more of moderators and think actually in the well-being of the village and not in themselves.
Also, in this case seems the individual would have altered his mental faculties.

Did internalised homophobia spark Orlando nightclub attack?

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36534693

Investigators are still trying to establish what led a 29-year-old security guard from Florida to murder 49 people and injure dozens more as they partied in popular gay nightclub Pulse.

They are examining indications Mateen was inspired by radical Islamism, following revelations that he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and the FBI had investigated him twice previously for terror links.

Mateen's father also suggested his son had harboured strong anti-gay views, fuelling many people's belief that the attack was motivated by violent homophobia.


The incident has happened in the gay nightclub in Orlando is a plus sign of the intransigence of a fanatics to others, be for religious reasons, politics, sexual orientation, etc.
Other topic to keep in mind is the facility that exists in America for to get any weapon of war.
The problem for identification these "lonely wolves" is that they can to pass easily unseen, even integrating them, apparently, in the society.
These psychopathic have so much hate in their inside, that they look for any excuse to kill.

Final reflection 1st. Bach

1.  Can you see an improvement on your level of English in the past year/s?  Where, for example?

Yes. In my view, I have improved my English a little in all its forms. I started to speak better in English when I went to United Kingdom fifteen days with a particular teacher for me and talking all the day in English with her. Last year I worked in a hotel and in this place I spoke a lot of French and a little bit of English, I hope that this summer there are more english people for improve my English. In first bach we have worked a lot of things (oral presentations, readings, writings, etc.) but I want to speak better and have more fluency when I talk with english people.

2. Which activity best shows your level of English?

Presentations, I think. Because in presentations you explain a topic to other people and here you show your level of English and your fluency in this language.

3. Which activities were really USEFUL for you to improve your English? Why?

The readings, the writings, the listenings and the presentations. In all, you practice a lot the language and if you do all of them perfect, you can say that you know (speak, write, etc.) very well the English.

4. Which activities did you NOT find useful to learn English? Why not?

I think that all the activities are useful if always are in English, because there are a lot of forms to improve and practice your English, some better than other, obviously.

5. Which activities would like to do again next year to keep on improving your English?

Kahoot and watching more films. Kahoot is a new activity that we have discovered this year. In my point of view is an activity very useful and funny, where you play with other people and where you have to select the correct answer in a short period of time, when the time finish you can see the correct answer and see your mistakes, at the end of the kahoot win the person who have done less mistakes. Watching films in English for to improve this language always is good, because you listen the people and you learn new words, new pronunciations, etc.

 

6. Open Comments (...More ideas, suggestions for activities, suggestion for new topics...)
Next year if it's possible I would like to get a new certificate (degree) of English, because in a lot of jobs they demand you for working, and it's important for the life.

Opinion essay

- "We have learnt to take better care of our planet". Do you agree?

During this third term, we have learnt a lot about global issues, we have made presentations to the class about how to fight them and the solutions of these global issues, also we have watched videos and some pictures that it alarms us about the extinction of our the planet, and the teacher has taught us how we can save and help the planet relating with the topics that we had chosen for the presentations.

We don't agree with the sentence, because:

Firstly, referring to the sentence, actually there are a lot of people who continue polluting our planet, because they don't know the damage that they do to the environment. In many places around the world the people suffer from many diseases for live surrounded by garbage, toxic gases, polluted water and sometimes the water is stagnant for fault of oil that has been spilled at the sea, causing the death of many animals, plants and sometimes cause boat accidents, because oil is sticky and makes that the boat slip and can't be controlled.

Secondly, in the world there are still wars and dictatorships and these don't care about our planet, because wars wipe out many lives and entire countries, and dictatorships enslave a part of the population to consider them inferior to others.

Finally, we think that the polution has to finish in all it forms, because maybe one day the planet would be extinct cause a lot of pollution that we produce every day. During these latest years, the ice of the countries located in the poles is still melting and the sea levels rises, this fact can cause the flooding of some cities situated a few meters above sea level.

We found a solution that consist in to get the peace in the whole world and accept people as they are; make disappear the racial problems and cooperate together to reach to the maximum peace between citizens of differents nacionalities.
We suggest that a solution for this problem may be teaching people are throwing things into the environment (polluting), saying them that the bad things that they are doing to the environment and to the other people will hurt them in the future, and if they don't obey, punish them.

EXTREME SPORTS

Extreme sports are all the activities or disciplines that due to special or particular situations as risk or the difficulty for realize them, consider extremes or dangerous.

There a lot of sports that imply one dose of physical demand and above everything mental. For prepare your body it needs a big concentration because are sports where it depends your physical integrity in every moment.

In the group of the extreme sports there are a lot, but the extreme sport that attracts my attention is the skydiving.
Actually, when I am eighteen, I want to do skydiving because I like to see the world from the sky and I want to feel as a bird.
My father has done skydiving, bungee jumping, parachute, etc. and he recommends me to do skydiving because is an unique and special experience.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VACCINATION

The vaccines are medicines that, applied to healthy people through an injection or orally, generate defences protecting our body, avoiding the infection or the illness.

The vaccination of the villages has afforded that a lot of illness that they caused epidemics in the antiquity, practically they have disappeared.

Is very important that all the people are vaccinated, because if there is only one person isn't vaccinated can cause illness to other people.

Nowadays, there are sixteen vaccines in the National Vaccination Plan. We have to keep the certificate of vaccinations, because is a personal document very important that it guarantees to be correctly immunized.

Our oral presentation of the poverty

Self-assessment of the oral presentation

Name: Marc Rodríguez.
Topic: The poverty.
Presentation (power, creativity)-10%: 1
Structure-10%: 1
Content-40%: 3
Language (grammar)-15%: 1'25
Body language (eye content, reading)-10%: 0'75
Pronunciation-15%: 1'25
New words: dearth, lack, slum, clashes, regardless of and commitment.
FINAL MARK:  8'25

The final note of my oral presentation is an eight point twenty-five.
I think that sometimes, when I am nervous, I read a little my piece of paper and I know the best is look the public because you transmits confidence to them.
My English and my pronunciation I think aren't bad but I have to improve it, because sometimes is difficult for me maintain a conversation in English, also because I am not used to speak in English.
I think it has been one of the best presentations I have done, because with this group it has been a pleasure work with them and we have had a lot of creativity and courage for do this moving topic and presentation (the poverty).

Lord Jim

An early and primary event is the abandonment of a ship in distress by its crew including the young British seaman Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with his past.

Jim, a young British seaman, becomes first mate on the Patna, a ship full of pilgrims travelling to Mecca for the hajj. When the ship starts rapidly taking on water and disaster seems imminent, Jim joins his captain and other crew members in abandoning the ship and its passengers. A few days later, they are picked up by a British ship. However, the Patna and its passengers are later also saved, and the reprehensible actions of the crew are exposed. The other participants evade the judicial court of inquiry, leaving Jim to the court alone. The court strips him of his navigation command certificate for his dereliction of duty. Jim is angry with himself, both for his moment of weakness, and for missing an opportunity to be a 'hero'.

My star rating is **good, entertaining.

THE RECYCLING

The society of today is very consumer and therefore, we change with a lot of facility the things we use. In fact, the manufacturers create products of less durability, and all of that, produce a big problem: What do we do with all of this waste?
Is when appears the recycling, although we are more convinced to this, still we lack media and more education for do it.

One of the examples more sad and more visible is the fire of the biggest dumping site of tyres of Europe, in Toledo, Spain.
A fire that it had to be avoided, because the authorities knew this big risk. Now the justice would have to do his duty and punish the responsible, because to all of users collect us a tax for this recycling, besides that we have to pay the consequences of this bad management.

Our gap year presentation

OUR PRESENTATION, HERE

Venezuela opposition launches protests to oust Maduro

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-35796096

Venezuela's opposition has held a day of protests to launch a new campaign to oust President Nicolas Maduro.
Crowds marched in Caracas and other cities to express their anger at the country's economic crisis and called on the president to stand down.
Mr Maduro led a protest in the capital against the renewal of US sanctions on top Venezuelan officials.
The opposition has made clear it intends to use street power to force Mr Maduro from office.
Saturday's protests marked the launch of Venezuela's opposition coalition, the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD). 


It's very sad the situation of Venezuela, first with Chavez and now with Maduro (replica of Chavez). Venezuela is suffering a shortage of democracy that it takes it to the extreme poverty, they haven't the products more basics for the population.
A country that it is a big producer of petroleum, for the leaders fault, it is without any liberty type (repression to the opposition), total insecurity (biggest crime rate of world), etc.
The only thing that they do these leaders is to favour the people that believe in the regimen, they are a big demagogues, but they don't think in the common good.

MY IPAD

I have an Ipad model MC769TY/A version 9.2.1.
This ipad is incredible, it's very usable because it has a lot of functions, it's as a computer but more easy to drive, practical and fast.
I can have all the applications that I want because it has a lot of storage (13 GB), include all of variety of games, social networks and other types of apps, and I love that because in my free time I use it almost always I can.
In conclusion, since I have this Ipad I disconnect with a big facility and it give me a rest in stress situations.
