Anonymous' International Trolling Day Targetting ISIS Begins In Spectacular Fashion

news's link 

Summary
Anonymous had made another Trending Topic on Twitter asking their followers to participate with their own take on IS (Islamic State).

Anonymous reportedly posted a message on Ghostbin, telling people how to take part on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Also they said: "They thrive off of fear they hope that by their actions they can silence all of us and get us to just lay low and hide in fear." 
"But what many forget and even they do is that there are many more people in the world against them than for them. And that is the goal of this mass uprising, on December 11th we will show them that we are not afraid, we will not just hide" they added.
"We will mock them for the idiots they are"
The group also posted the instructions for how people can participate on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and the media where more people participate was twitter. See some examples: 
Is good to remember that Anonymous declared war on IS.
Personal opinion: 
I think these Trening Topics are a good idea because with these we show a lack of fear against IS, the best way to combat a war (like this) is humour, we moke them because they only are some brainwashers, they don't represent musulims, it's for all of that we need to combat them.

Oral presentation

This year I'd made one presentation with Sergi Blanco called "Polònia" 
I need to improve some pronunciation mistakes, and I need to gesticulate more, but I think in general we did some good work.

There is the video:

My favourite books

I'd read a lot of books and because of that I have some favourite books, but I have a problem with that because very time that I read a book immediately it becomes one of my favourite books (Because of that I belong to many fandoms), So I'm going to do one list for clarify my ideas.

1- Harry Potter 
It's just the best saga, I can like so many books, I can belong to so many fandoms but always I will return to Harry Potter. Until the very end


2- The Hunger Games/ Game of Thrones
We have a draw here, I really like The Hunger Games since the first page I'd readed and Game of Thrones too, those are just my favourite books in my favourties thematics. Also I love the movies and the series of those books as well. I really like those books because what happen it's perfect applicable in reality, and this really scares me...
 
3- Delirium / Before I fall
Those books by Lauren Oliver are just amazing, do you know when you read some books and in the ending you only can say OMG? This is exactly what happen in this books. I really feel emty when I finished those books (like in THG), the same sensation that I felt when I whatched yesterday Mockingjay P2. 
             (one amazing quote from Delirium's saga) 

4- The Maze Runner
It's another incredible saga,  I really like the plot is original and fresh and there are some parts that are so realistic! I love it, but the movies aren't so good, they convert this amazing saga to another different.

5- The name of the wind
I'd readed this book last year and it's really good I absolutely recomend it. 

Those are my favourtie TOP 5 books, of course I love another amazing books but I can put all the books in this list.
As you can see almost all of them are from fututistic thematics or fantasy thematics, basically because those are my favourite thematics.



Mockingjay P2

Yesterday I went to watch Mockingjay P2...and I'm just mentally disoriented, I can't handle it. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW? I know I'd readed and re-readed all the books a lot of times but see it on the big screen is too much for me. I feel so empty right now.
The movie was good adapted, and I really like it, but of course there were some elements that they should change, for example, I miss more emphasis during the deaths, I mean *SPOILER* Finnick's death really needed more impact and with Prim's death same. 

One element that I like was the Haymitch's and Effie's kiss it doesn't happen on the book but it was so cute!! (Haymitch is one of my favorite character) The second cute element that I like was the Annie's and Finnick's wedding!! *-* 
 

Another element that I like was when Haymitch reads the letter, it was really good! Because there they explain what happen before the *SPOILER* Coin's death, and I just love it
All the action part was good but I had imagined it different, I don't know the streets and the part when the pod exploded was different in my mind, like Tigris, she was perfect but different.

I think they should explain better the Goodbye's part and *SPOILER* the Coin's death part like Snow's death part and when Katniss is shut in before she killed *SPOILER* Coin instead of Snow (I absolutely agree with this action) 


The worst part was absolutely when *SPOILER* Katniss says goodbye to Gale, It was too much for my poor heart.

Even though I don't truly like Peeta it was so sweet the ending but it was too sweet, It's for this I don't like Peeta he produces me diabetes, I just prefer Gale but we aren't twilight there are only one team in this fandom: #TeamKatniss (And #TeamFinnick who doesn't love Finn? )


The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory is about a group of friends who work in the same university and are a little bit freaks, they went to comics con, Comic's store... This group is composed of: Leonard Hofstader, Rajis Koothrappali, Howard Wolowitz and Sheldon Cooper, but additonally there is one femele charecter: Penny, Penny will give to this group another vision of the world, actually, Penny will be Leonard's girlfriend but this relationship will pass through some difficulties.
Penny isn't the only girl who appears in this show, also appears Bernadette Rostenkowski (Howard's girlfriend) Amy Farrah Fowler (Sheldon's girlfriend, but of course their relationship will be a bit..special, because they have relationship contract) and the last but not least Emily Sweeney ( Raj's girlfriend)
             
During the first season the "freak fact" was more notable, and in my opinion it was better, because they were more eccentrics, specially Sheldon. And Howard was more creepy and Raj cannot talk with girls without being drunk. Also, during this season appeared some important celebrities like Stan Lee for example. 

I Really like this show, it's so original and you can see some items what are from another series or movies, this show it's just so realistic but of course I don't think that exists persons like Sheldon, Sheldon it's just so irritant.

News3

Link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3329998/Police-ask-Belgians-not-tweet-Brussels-raids-posted-pictures-cats.html

SUMMARY: 

During this week Belgian police asked people to use the hastag #BrusselsLockdown, so not to tweet details of their respective opperations. All of Brusels population rebelled against this petition by posting hilarious pictores of their cats.
Brussels was in lockdown for a third day, so the streets were deserted.

Some posted cats looking suspicous, others peacefull, and the most of them scared. Mateusz Kukulka a media specialist said that he had seen more #lolcats that had seen in the rest of his life.

Finally, Belgian police didn't find any explosives or weapons.
(Some tweets:


)

OPINION:

I think it's a good way to fight agains the terrorist because this method uses humour, a important democracy's weapon.
Also, it's funny because they're cats and it's wellknown cats are so cute, so it's ironic the relation cuteness-terrorism.
Finally, in my opinion, it's also good, because Belgians don't reveal police strategy.

The roles of women

The roles of women have changed a lot during this 100 years of evolution, but unfortunately not all women are free, some of them are still suppress.
Ourdays, women can work and be independent, now they don't need to ask for permised to their respective husbands for do something. For example, Harry, who is known for being a mysogin, he said that women are only usefull for sex, and that's of course a line that explains a lot about victorian society. Then, all women were considered objects, they couldn't vote or think about themselves, they only need to be beautiful and ready for some tea party. Now this has changed a lot, (But like I said before, not all women are free!!!) luckily this has improved and now we don't have to hide our thougts.

Another example is, that in the story Sybil killed herself only because Dorian Grey didn't want to stay with her, it was the women who had killed not the man, it means that women were painted like poor little child who didn't know what they want. This fact is just another evidence of the misogism that women suffered in victorian society.

In conclusion, nowadays women can be independent and educated correctly( that fact wasn't allowed in wild's times), but it's true that really only women who live in western countrys can be independent.

Kiki's Delivery Service


Kiki's Delivery service is another animated film, which won so many awards like: best anime, best female character, best anime theme song, best animated film...And more! Also, It's a Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli studio film.                     Actually, I've watched this film so many years ago when Tv3 emited it and I liked it, principally because it was easy to understand ( I was really young when I've watched it) and enjoyable, also it talked about magic (like Doremi, one of my favourtie programs when I was young) and Who doesn't like magic?                                                                                                                                                                                            Kiki is a thirteen year old girl who leaves home because she wants to train as a witch, Kiki leaves home with her cat called Jiji, also, Jiji is talking cat. Kiki flies with her broomstick to Koriko, one city near the sea. While Kiki is searching somewhere to live, she is "hounding" by Tombo, a boy obsessed with aviation.                                                                                                                                                              Finally Kiki accepts to delivering goods by broomstick in exchange for accomodation, who suggest this deal is Osono, the owner of a backery. Kiki's first service goes so bad and loses the black cat toy she is supposed to deliver and Jiji pretend to be the toy while Kiki is searching the real toy, lastly she can give the real toy.

Kiki accepts a party inviation from Tombo but falls ill, when kiki is feeling better Osono assign to Kiki a delivery for Tombo, and with this delivery she can visit Tombo, when she is with him Tombo takes her for prove his flying machine created by him.

Before the test Kiki becomes depressed because she lost her flying skill and also she can understand Jiji because he has known a pretty white cat. Ursula surprises Kiki visiting her and determinates that Kiki has a artist's block and she will be able to fly again if she finds a new prupose. 

While kiki is visiting a costumer, she advise an airship accident, in which Tombo is involved. Kiki recuperates her flying skills and rescues Tombo, later, when all is okay Kiki send a letter to her family saying she and Jiji are fine.   
Like I said before, I really liked this film when I've watched it some years ago. I liked it because it has adventure, magic and some "romantic" elements, It is also a quickly movie and you don't get bored, in summary, it's a good film.

Spirited Away

So many years ago, like ten years ago, I could see Spirited Away and since then, I keep watching this movie because it become in one of my favourite movies

Spirited Away, known as El viaje de Chihiro in Spain, is the ninth Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki film, the famous director and screenwriter who made: My neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Howl's moving castle...(Personally, I love all Studio Ghibli and Hayzao Miyazaki films and I saw all their films! but with no doubt my favourite is My neighbor Totoro)


Spirited Away had won a lot of awards in category of: best film, best Asian film and best song, and also won The golden Bear in Berlin. 



All starts with chihiro's family who are moving to another town, but Chihiro's father takes a wrong turn. Then they enter a magical world that Chihiro's father insists on exploring, who believes it's an abandoned thematic park. Her parents sit at a restaurant, meanwhile, Chihiro discovers a bathhouse, where a boy known as Haku tells her to get out before the sunset. Chihiro returns to her parents, and discovers that they have transformed into pigs. She wants to escape, but the way by  the way that they came is flood. Frightened and alone, she observes how the world becomes to a paradise for spirits.

Haku finds Chihiro, and advises her to demand a job from Kamaji,who prepares the water for guests. Kamaji and Lin, one of the employees, send Chihiro to Yubaba, the owner of the bathhouse. Yubaba doesn't want to employ Chihiro but finnally she accepts her service but with one condition: her name will be Sen. Haku takes her to visit her parents, and returns her clothes, and inside the clothes Chihiro finds a goodbye card with her real name written on it. Haku tells her Yubaba controls people by taking their names, also he tells her that she will be captured if Yubaba takes her name and Haku add that this happened to him.



While Chihiro is working accidentaly invites a No-face because then, a stink spirit arrives and Chihiro is assigned to tend the guest but accidentally she discovers that this spirit is actually a guardian spirit and this spirit in appreciation for his "cleanliness" gives to her one special tart.
Later, when everybody is sleep the No-face creature eats an employee and starts demanding food, producing fake gold.


Chihiro discovers "papers" attacking a white-blue dragon and she recognized as Haku, Chihiro follows the dragon and enter to Yubaba's room and then one "paper" transforms into Zeniba, Yubaba's twin sister. Also, Yubaba tells Chihiro that Haku has stolen a magic seal and because that he is being punished, immediatly after Haku falls into one hole, that is situated in the center of the Yubaba's room, and Chihiro trys to help him driving him to Kamaji's room. Inside Kamaji's room she takes care of him and gaves to him part of the magic tart and thanks to this tart Haku can vomit one magic demon who causes him an incredible malaise.

Before leaving to Zeniba's house for apologize for Haku's behaviour, Chihiro needs to repair the damage that has done the No-Face and for this Chihiro gives to him one part of the tart and because this the No-Face vomites all the employee who he has eaten. When No-Face becomes normal again Chihiro, him and Boh (Yubaba's baby who Zeniba had transformed into a rat) went to Zeniba's house by train, with some tickets that Kamaji have given to them.
When they are appears Haku and keeps Chihiro and Boh to the baths, they travell over Haku (who is in his dragon form). During the travel chihiro explains to Haku one anecdote that permits Haku remember his name and become a free man, his real name is: Nigihayami kohaku nushi.
                                    

When they arrive at the bathhouse, Yubaba tells Chihiro that if she wants to leave this world and go with her parents outside she must guess her parents from amog a group of pigs. Chihiro says correctly that none of the pigs are her parents and she can leave from this world. 

The movie ends when Chihiro and her parents walk back to their car which is covered in fallen leaves.

I really enjoy this film every time I watch it because it is enjoyable and really good, actually you enter in this magic world since the first minute it catches you. This film makes you dream and if you are a little kid makes you want to be Chihiro and meet Haku and all her friends. Also, it's very good because even though it will be easy to create a couple with Chihiro and Haku, the creators don't do it, they only create a good friendship, what is good.

Blood Diamond

Many weeks ago I could see Blood Diamond ,an American movie, on television. 
Blood Diamond is a film made by Edward Zwick and written by Charles Leavitt, also in the cast there are some well-known actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Connelly. And this film was nominated for 5 oscars and won another important awards.
The title refers to blood diamonds, which are diamonds mined in war zones and sold to finance conflicts, and thereby profit warlords and diamond companies across the world.
It's based on Sierra Leone Civil War in 1996–2001(Actually, it's based on a real case), the film represents a country torn apart by the war between government and RUF,a group of violent insurgent forces. It also shows the horror of war: amputations, child carrying weapons, the misery...

It's 1999 and the population of Mende are horrified because RUF are enslaving them to search for diamonds. All starts with Solomon who is enslaved and moved to a river where RUF search diamonds. There, Solomon finds a blood diamond, which is very precious, and the man hides it to keep it but his plan goes wrong and he is captured with the other slaves and RUF militants.

In prison appears Danny Archer, a gunrunner jailed for his effort to keep smuggling diamonds to Liberia, there he hears about the hidden blood diamond and gets Solomon out of prison. When he is out Danny swears to Solomon to help him (When Solomon was captured he lost his family and he wants to find them).
Before this adventure starts Danny knows a reporter who will help them, and with her help they would find Solomon's family.
Not all is a bed of roses, Danny needs this blood diamond to run away, he can't just escape from Africa because his boss, an important corrupted South African, will kill him if Danny doesn't give to him the diamond.

Finally, Solomon find his child and his family but they were separated so he finds first his family with Maddy's (The reorter) and Danny's help, but he cannot stay with them because they were in a refugee camp. Solomon's son was with RUF they radicalized him, but somehow Solomon can make him remember who truly he is.

All was going okay until Danny's boss men attacked the RUF base when Danny, Solomon and Solomon's son were there (It should be noted that Danny rang his friend to bombard the base to create a distraction for search the diamond, but the distraction didn't work and Danny's boss men appeared)

(CAUTION SPOILER!)

In the end Danny and Solomon find the diamond but Danny, while they were fighting against his boss, became injured, even so he rang his mate because Solomon and his Son needed to return home but meanwhile Danny was protecting his friends he died, but minutes before his death he rang Maddy, who was outside Africa, and he told her that now she can publish the report about the diamond trade (a story that she had made during all the adventure searching Solomon's family).

Solomon travels to London for catch the leader of the diamond trade in London, after that he does a conference about his experiences.

I really like this type of films which mixes adventure and also looks at an injustice, also it was so good the way to address this issue.


Another reason I liked this film is because although it's a Hollywood movie it isn't so commercial and I think it reflects this conflict very well. And the final reason , of course, is Leonardo Dicaprio's presence!! Who doesn't love him? 

NEWS 2- Mother of Paris suicide bomber says her son did not meant to kill anyone...

Link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3320157/Mother-Paris-suicide-bomber-says-son-did-not-mean-kill-claims-blown-STRESS.html

SUMMARY: 
The stress was the excuse of the Ibrahim's family for the attempt that the guy had commited in France on Friday night.
Ibrahim Abdeslam launded an attack outside the cafe Compreis Voltaire near the Bataclan concert hall where the massacre had taken place.  
A day after the attacks, in which at least 129 persons were killed and hundreds were injured, Mohamed Abdeslam was arrested in Brussels.
Salah Abdeslam, 26, from a suburb of Brussels known as the 'jihadi' capital of Europe, is now the subject of a vast international manhunt
Salah, the other brother is the object of an international manhunt, before this manhunt he crrossed the border to Belgium.

Abeslam family said that they were surprised about the attempt that he had committed, even if he had spent time in Syria. The family keep saying that he ddidn't want to kill anyone and his intentions weren't bad and they added " the fact his suicide belt exploded without killing anyone says a lot", but finnally, they attmitted that Ibrahim seemed to be a bit radical, but no so much, no enough to kill people.

Prosecutor have identified Ibrahim, who was seriously injured, as the man who rented a Seat car used in the attacks, the vehicle was used for murdered diners outside one Italian restaurant, it was found 20 minutes away in Montreuil.
Police revealed today they had found the other vehicle used in the terror attacks – a black Seat Leon - abandoned in the Montreuil area of France. The car is not shown in this photo but smashed glass, believed to be from the vehicle, remains on the floor after it was driven off
Minutes after Ibrahim initiated his solo attack another terrorists attacked the Bataclan music hall. 

PERSONAL OPINION: 
Of course I think this excuse is the worst excuse ever, not only for the foolishness but the intention for justify the attemps. There is no excuse for radicalism! Only fanatics can kill people for their thoughts, only the fools can do that! And the worst is that these fanatics aren't mentally ill, at least they weren't before their radicalization, so I can't understand why they could be radicalized so easily.

I don't know how it will finnish...I hope good.

Summary: 
Yesterday JK Rowling was accused that she wasn't a true Scot at heart because her comment abut the country's defeat to Australia in the Rugby World Cup.
Scotland lose to Australia
But the Harry Potter author had a response that immediatly put paid to the Scottish nationalist.

JK Rowling has lived in Scotland over two decades and supported the "Better Together" campaign during the Scottish referendum last year, donating  £1m.
Also, she said that her hestiance at independence hasn't damage her belief in Scotland's remarkable people or its achievements.
But the Harry Potter author wasn't the only person who showed their dissappointment after Scotland's defeat.

Personal Opinion:
I'm so sorry for this attack that JKRowling (She is one of my favorite writers)had suffered. 

First of all I don't understand why all these people was attacking Rowling only for the Scotland's defear, I mean, It's only a game! Calm down! And seriously, her thoughts about one match can affect her belief in Scotland? If someone think this maybe he/she doesn't know Rowling enough.

My second point is:  Why the fact of her donations to the "Better Togheter" campaing majes she a bad scottish? Her lack of confidence about the Scotland's Independence makes she a bad scottish? Of course not! who think this only shows an incredible lack of confidence with all the scottish

FOREVER YOUNG

Is it known for everybody that get old isn't pleasant; your breasts are going down, your face look like the Kalahari desert, your waist seems a float, and the only think that do you want to think about is your age. All these facts provoke an increase of the Botox and the plastic surgery, also  the anxiety of being younger and prettier accentuates the necessity of improve the parts of our body we don't accept.

It seems women are more worried about geting old a 56% or women are worried about aging, this fact contrasts with men, only a 34% are worried about aging. Because of that a 46% of women are more likely to considering anti-aging injections and only a 18% of men admit to consider these solutions, another reason of  this increase of plastic surgery (the most expensive plastic surgery are: neck liposuction and chin elargement) is that women are under more pressure than men of look younger, an example of this is the condition of gray hair; men with this hair are distinguished meanwhile women with gray hair are old. 


But not all is negative! Sex improves with age and both sex agree with this(57%)!


Fortunately we have some good roles who act with their age: George Cloony who is still a charmer at 51 years old and Meryl Streep who is ever more elegant at 63 years old.


How Americans Really View Aging

Is humour necessary?

Humour is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter. People of all ages and cultures respond to hormones, and it is known for having a sense for having a sense of humour.


First of all, humour is necessary because it provokes good effects in our body; it tiggers our endorphins and allow us to feel a very special kind of pleasure it also relaxes the whole body and boosts the immune system. 

All types of humour are neccessary because they make different points of view and it improves democracy, for example, there are some satiric and parody programs such Polònia in Catalonia. All these programs help us laugh ourselves.
But recently some terrorists attacked Charlie Hebdo because they made fun of Arabic Religion, and this maked me think; Are there limits in humour? Of course not, If we restrict humour democracy will not improve.


In conclusion humour is necessary for all the reasons above; besides with humour it's possible to shift perspective. 
Humour makes us happier, and it makes the world improves, of course it is necessary Isn't it?
