10 millions years ago penguins abounded Africa
A new
investigation carried out by scientists of the Natural History Museum of United Kingdom have discovered trough 17 fossils founded in South Africa, that around
12 millions of years ago on the coasts of Africa, could live even 4 different
kinds of penguins. As they have explained to scientists from all over the
world, the fragments of the bones founded, belong to parts of the spinal
column, sternum, wings and legs. Furthermore, thanks to these fossils they have
been able to know all the movements of these penguins.
Nowadays only
one type of penguin (Cabo penguins) continues living in these coasts. However,
this kind of animals are endangered since 2012 because it population has
declined 80% in the last 50 years. Scientist warns to oil-bearing companies to
stop working in South Africa coasts because they are killing sardines and
anchovies, the favourite food of this animal.
To conclude
scientists don’t know the causes of the extinction of this prehistorically
animal between 5-7 millions to 10-12 million years ago. But is the human
responsible of this extinction? A big question with an answer waiting to
be discovered.
The Graphene
The aim of this report is to explain that the graphene is going to be the future of the technology.
The graphene is the strongest material ever tested. The physicists promised to achieve a new technological product to be flexible.
Furthermore, the electronics that graphene has, are very lighting. They argue that a person can bring the electronic everywhere, because it can be bend and the battery lasts much.
Physicists suggested that this new technological product will be the best machine created by the moment.

Argue in favor of fire arms
Nelson, a U.S.A village where it´s denied the restriction of a fire arm
in each house.
We talk about a village located in Atlanta, Georgia. There are 1.000
habitants in it. They insist in the importance of having a fire arm in each house.
This is meant to foresee for emergency management and also to protect the
safety and general welfare of the town.
The mayor of Nelson keeps on insisting in the effects of this new law
and tries to promote it with warnings and suggestions. Also he tries to show that he argued in favor
of fire arms with some economic services like: 10% discount in a restaurants if
you bring an arm.
Even so, there are some social
groups of habitants which are not urging to buy fire arms because of their
special conditions, like been poor or people with any physical or psychological
problem.
Rise and fall of a green hippo
If you are a normal person who lives in the world, you have to know that a green hippo was born in a Japananese's zoo. The first reactions to this incredible event were, at first, very possitive: Obama said that he was very proud to be friend of the japananese's country, the only country who has a green hippo in the whole universe; Ban ki-moon claimed we were under an alien attack becouse of the hippo; Rajoy thought of privatizing the hippo and Shinzo Abe (first minister of Japan) said something we don't know becouse he said it in Japananese.
But now, everyone who said something possitive to the hippo is embarrased. The green hippo is gaudy now, and apologising for the hippo is worst than killing a baby seal. If you go today to the zoo, you will see the hippo trying to catch the attention of the families who walk fast, without looking the hilarious, depressed, green hippo. Even the mother of the hippo denied being the responsible of the unnatural colour. What remains the hippo? Going to the secret place where are hidden the Jonas brothers, Spice girls and the guys of the Macarena; renewing itself whith another colour or being Macaulay Culkin's best friend. Poor hippo.
Hey, a red turtle! I truly love it!

A blank book has been a bestseller
Last year, a British man named Sheridan Simove became a world-famous "writer" because of his book "What every man thinks about apart from sex". However, the most curious thing of all this succes is that this novel is simply a blank book. It became really popular between young people, who use it as a bloc, althought this wasn't the purpose it was written for.
The author explained that this book is the result of a thorough study of this topic made thirty nine years ago, but when he was about to start writing, his mind went blank, which led him to several conclusions. After this, he claimed that everybody should know this discovery.
Simove doesn't know if this success is hilarious or depressive, as he wrote a real book which never was as successful as this one. Nevertheless, he's going to insiste on publishing more blank books. His next one is going to be about the reasons for trusting politicians, and afterwards, a real book about how the society thinks of failure and how it stops people to make come true their dreams.
Simove suggests that we should have in mind the state of society nowadays thanks to his books, and he urges us to do something to change it.

Two nice guests
Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens in El Hormiguero
Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens had gone to the tv show , El Hormiguero , on Friday 1/03/2013. They had promoted their new film "Springbreakers". They argued that doing this film have been a really rough step in his proffesional career because they have became one of the most important actress of the moment after being considerated a "Disney Channel girls".
The host , Pablo Motos , have suggested that this big change will suppose to Selena's and Vanessa's fans a big surprise. So , does it mean that their fans are not going to go threw this big change ? Obviously they weren't agree with this , they said that their fans are girls that have grown as they have done so for Selena and Vanessa it's time to explore new areas , doing new jobs and trying to find a different actress role and they insisted on watching this film are not going to change anything. Moreover , they are going to love it.
What's more , they have explained that the film director Harmony Korine have denied pushing the actresses to be an skinny university student because he refuse to make fake girls so he have encouraged to them to eat all they want and stay in their normal body and not force to lose weight.
A green hippo has born
Last week a green hippo was born in a Japananese's zoo, first when the zoo carers saw the cub they thought that some vandals could have done this. They took care of him and phoned a vet. When he came he diagnose that this was the hippo natural colour, and it was not painted.
Doctor Mathew Henryson explained that this could be caused because of the food that the mother had eaten during the pregnancy, or some kind of stress. He did not know exactly, but what he did know is that thay have to take care of him because it is weak, and they do not have to exploit it, and he claimed that they will.
Unfortunately what Mathew Henrysin said is true, Japaneses have already chosen the hippo as the pet of the 2020 Olimpics game, and we still don not know what will be next.
However it is a present of the nature and we recommend you to visit the "Tama Zoological Park", in Tokyo.

Freezing Scientific Crime
Charles Melting is a well-known American scientist concerned with the ice-melting in both poles. He was asked by e-mail to spend two months researching about it in the Antarctic American Base (AAB). As it was one of his dreams, he took everything he was going to need and, well disposed, boarded a ship for the South Pole.
After three hours travelling, Charles landed but nobody was there to welcome him, so he decided to ask about the AAB. Something strange was happening, as he thought when he realized that nobody knew about the existence of the AAB.
The scientist spent three days there, and after that, he decided to go back home. As soon as he arrived, he went to the police station and reported the happening. The local detective started investigating by the e-mails that Charles recieved who was the culprit.
Nowadays, nobody knows who commited this crime. It is said it was Charle's scientific enemy, who was jealous of Charle's achievements. Some people suggest it was commited by some teenagers, who did it as a joke, without knowing how serious it was. Finally, some people urge that knowbody did it. How is that possible? Because Charles could have done it to became more popular.
Theories, theories... Do you have any other one?

Is anybody there?
Is anybody there ?
This question have been asked for a long time in our society. Agencies like the NASA and the UFO have been investigate this aspects.
What's more ,it also has got severeal opinions in other "words" like in fiction films . That aliens and spaceships have performanced a main character in several films like in Star trek.
Who kows what is outhere? It only can be an inmensity of darkness without any live . But does it mean than we are alone in the entire Universe? This is one of the most common question that you can have but until now it hasn't got answer. But on the other hand , What would happened if there were another planet like the Earth? The Universe is by far one of the bigger things that we have ever met and it could be possible.
I bet that some spaceships like the Apolo I ,II or III have done incredible discovers but they haven't find live in other planet yet. Astronauts thought that Mars would be a good planet to live if it hadn't any probleme related with the water and the ground because it isn't be able to have live on it.

GREY'S ANATOMY
Grey’s Anatomy is a
great show which shows you how medicine can affect life and that doctors are
not always what you expect. It seems to me that this show it’s hilarious and
even if you don’t like medicine it could be your favourite show.
I reckon most of the
people don’t understand the 30% of medicine vocabulary but you understand all
because of the context and it’s very interesting and it makes you stay at the
edge of your seat.
I stress in that’s a
show which plays with your feelings, it’s a show in which i’ve cried and laugh.
What’s more within the cast there are very famous actors and others have beome
famous because of their acting in this show.
All of it’s characters
are funny and has it’s own great and complex story although they are so nice
sometimes they damage each other and you get very dissapointed.
On the other hand it
isn’t very original because there are a lot of shows about hospitals and
doctors but i stress in how the characters get inside of you and makes you feel
so close to them.
I recommend it for
people who would like to watch it complete because there are different characters
in each season and it’s a bit confusing J

Water for elephants
Water for elephants:
Water for elephants is a 2 year old film of a film
director called Francis Lawrence. It's an American romantic drama film based on
a book.
It stress of the important of what
was the reality of the oldest circuses.
The film starts with an elderly man
trying to attend a performance of a travelling circus that has already ended. The
man strikes up a conversation with the owner of the circus and he ends up telling him the story of his life.
The story is based on a circus and it tries to explain
the difficulties of living as a vet in the circus, which is
the job of the man Jacob . The story is located many years ago, when the
elderly man was actually a young man and it’s during one of the most infamous
circus disasters of all time.
There are four
main characters that are of a high level performance like Robert Pattinson and
Reese Witherspoon or Christoph Waltz and Hal Holbrook, the first one is also
the main character of the saga Twilight. I admit I wanted
to see the film only because of all the good performance of R. Pattinson at
Twilight.
This film seems to show the different
points of view of the whole work that is done in any circus, like the
run-throught performance of every day. Also I would like to reckon in all the
ability of each member of the circus to improve the quality or his or her
performance. I’ll suggest this film to any romantic film lover. I bet you
cannot expect what may happen at the end, I hope you like it.

Mum
Mum is a scary film about two sisters called Victoria (the older one) and Lilly (the younger one) that after her mum's death went to the forest and lived there for five years. When a man found them they were sent with their uncle and their aunt who after some days started to think that there was someone strange in the house where they live that has come with the girls and that are not good news.
I admit that this film has scared me many times but on the other hand I think that is funny to see it with sdome friends and scream when something startle you.
I have to stress three tings, first the make up, specially the one that were the sisters because it really looks like they have been five years in the forest, the second thing is the cast, again specially the girls because they are too young but they act in a scary way and we have to recognise that merit, finally, the last thing I have to stress are the special effects that are great and help you to be afraid of things that are not real.
I reckon that Mum is a good film but i think that there are other ones that are better because it is not really thrilling is more for shok you many times.
Here you'll find a short summary and the trailer. 'Mum'

The Master
What can i say of one of the best films i've ever seen in a cinema? Should i start talking about the great job of Paul Thomas Anderson on the direction, or should i affirm that the interpretative duel between Joaquín Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman is going to pass to the cinema history? As you can see, i love The Master. It can be for the music, composed by Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead), but the principal advantage of the film is that every detail is a masterpiece itself.
On one hand, we have the controversy of the argument (The Master is about a religious sect) and the unpleasant sexuality of some scenes, but in the other hand, we have the complexity that Paul Thomas Anderson gives to every film he does. The Master is pure cinema, is a battle between two injured men in the USA of the 50's.
Finally, i have to explain that i'm not saying you are going to like The Master, i'm just saying this film shows a lot of reasons to love cinema. The Master shows Paul Thomas Anderson, the master.

Aliens are coming
The universe is huge so it is impossible; at least I think so, being alone, without any other kind of life in the whole outer space.
In my opinion aliens are not here yet, but they will, or probably we will land in their planet first. And this is a curious belief, because in films we always see aliens invading the Earth, but have you ever wondered if we actually are the aliens?
Not only that but I am not sure if they really exist, in spite of on the other hand many astrologists have noticed that there are planets, far away, where could be some kind of life, however not only in fara away planets, some scientists say that even sometime a kind of live will be able to live in Mars.
True enough though other people think that they are already here, between us, dressed up as humans, in the most unexpected places, where we cannot realize, as we can see in the "Men in Black" film.
To sum up remember this, I am warning you, watch out, they could be everywhere.

THE IPAD MINI
The Ipad Mini is a new device of the Apple brand that has gone on sale
in October of 2012. Is a tablet as an Ipad but in small size. Account with high
quality on the screen and graphics it is more advanced than the normal Ipad.
Also have two cameras, one on the front and rear where you can take pictures
and includes a new application to record what you want in HD. This coated of
good quality materials such as aluminum layer in the rear and and they have improved the
battery being now of lithium-polymer. However, very few people can buy a
device like this because it is very expensive, here in Spain costs around 329
€. A lot of people use it as a distraction to read, play games, download
applications or even for the job. It is a very interesting device and it greatest
advantage is that you can take it everywhere.
The impossible
The impossible is a Spanish drama which has been recently rewarded with five "Goyas", including the best director one. It is based on the story of a spanish family that survived after a tsunami which happened on the coast of Thailand in 2004. The film shows how each of the members of this family try to find a way to survive on his own.
I should admit I've never enjoyed watching drama movies. However, I was touched by the story and how they all keep suffering untill the end. It seems to me that the acting is wonderfull and very realistic. I stress the special effects are very crafted and the giant wave is awesome
On the other hand, some scenes really made me feel sick because of the high quantity of blood there is showed. It is impossible not to cry, as I expected the first time I heard about it, so I bet no one who doesn't like crying because of a film would like this one.
To sum up, I recommend to everybody. This is because I didn't like the idea of drama at first, but I reckon the film surprised me after watching it. So take some tissues and enjoy this Spanish great job.

Les Miserables
The story is set in the first years of the 19th century in France, where there were a lot of riots at that moment. The main characther of the movie is Jean Valjean, played by Hugh Jackman, a prisoner for 19 years, under protection of a cruel man, Javert (Russell Crowe).
Years pass and we now can see Jean as the mayor of a town and he owns a factory. In his factory, Fantine (Anne Hathaway) works. She was fired and she had to work as prostitute. When Jean finds her, she's about to die and she asks him if she can look after her child, Cossette.
Ten years pass and we're in France when it's about to start the 1830 Revolution. Now in the film are introduced some characters that are the beginners of the riot, and one of them is Marius, the man who fell in love with Cossette.
To my mind, this is such a good film, because the story is so interesting that you can't take your eyes off the screen. Sometimes you feel a little bit bored because all the film is sang, but there are parts when you think they'd better speak. However, I stress that is worth wathcing.
Furthermore, the cast is amazing, above all Jackman and Hathaway. I bet if Daniel Day-Lewis hadn't won the Oscar it would have been won by Jackman. And all the awards Anne Hathaway has received are justified: she's on screen half an hour, but this time is great and she's a wonderful singer.
I guess that the most amazing thing of the film is the music and the songs, such beautiful and moving.

21 Jump Street :
I admit that the plot of this film it's stupid but it makes you laugh . What's more,the actors were really handsome and they performence their character really well. So this film apart of been a comedy it has got action parts with a lot of incredible effects .
I recommend this film to everyone that want to spend a good time laughing with a good film .

PROMOCIÓN FANTASMA
"Promoción Fantasma" is a spanish comedy. It's about a man who can see ghosts and he started working in a school. In that school there were five ghosts who died in a school party 25 years ago. What's more, they were giving problems to the school because they were always trying to scare the students and if they continue doing it the school would have to close. That's why Modesto, the new teacher, is trying to convince them about leaving the school, but they can't do it whithout passing the course and finishing all what they had to do.
I reckon it's really funny and it also has a romantic part but there's a lot to think about this movie.
On the other hand, if you prefer accion and thiller movies, I don't recommend you to watch this one but if you like confusing movies you should watch it.
Not only that, but I suppose your're going to expect the end. Appart from that there are a lot of things related to the past, when they were alive, that they're gonna discover thanks to the new teacher.

The Expendables 2
The Expendables 2
Yesterday I went to the cinema with my friends, to see the film The Expendables 2. We were very excited due to see to Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme acting together. Always, they participate in very actions films and their films are very enjoyable.
The Expendables 2 is an American action movie and the story is based on a mercenary group known as “the Expendables” as they undertake a seemingly simple mission which evolves into a quest for revenge against rival mercenary, who murdered one of their own and threatens the world with a deadly weapon.
I expected more action but the actors are older and less aggressive. During the running time, 103 minutes, I only watched two fights really good; perhaps Sylvester Stallone is the actor who has better fitness.
To sum up, I’d recommended this film to everybody because is very interested how to they think about their strategies and how they use the weapon.
Here, you can see a trailer of that film:

The notebook
Recently, I’ve
watched a film called “The notebook”. It’s about a love story between two
people who really love each other, even when they have become really old. Noah
tries to make his wife, Allie, remember their own story by telling it to her
from the beginning, when they met in a summer fair.
I reckon it’s
really worth watching this film. I really like the way that the story is told
to you, and I admit it might be the appropriate film for the people who enjoy
watching romantic movies.
On the other
hand, there are some disadvantages. If you love action or comedies, I don’t
expect you to like “The notebook” because it’s a kind of drama film, and you
wouldn’t have a good time watching it. It’s not only a love story; it also
makes you want to cry.
To sum up, I’d
recommend this film to everyone disposed to spend an afternoon in front of the
TV, eating popcorn and sweets and crying while watching “The Notebook”.
SUPERFICIAL SOCIETY
SUPERFICIAL
SOCIETY
I am going to talk about superficial society inspired by a talk by
world-famous model Cameron Russell. There
are a lot of prejudices in our society. There are many reasons why I believe this. Firstly, people
accept good looking people better. In addition, if you are good looking you
have more benefits. Finally, one of the worst prejudices that our superficial
society has is racism.
At first, people accept good looking people
better. For example, if you go to a new school and you are skinny , tall ,etc.,
people are going to accept you better than if you are fat or ugly. In jobs you have more opportunities to have a
better job if you are good looking than
if you are not.
Moreover , one of the things that Cameron Russell
told in a TV program was that if you are
a model like her or you are beautiful,
you have more benefits than normal people. For example, when she was with
her grandmother and the police stopped them , the police looked at her and said
“oh it is ok, it is ok“; or when she
went to shop without money , the shop assistants gave her the clothes
for free.
Lastly, the most visible case of prejudice is
racism. Cameron Russell mentioned that in New York , last year, of the 140.000 teenagers that
were stopped and checked by the police,86
percent of them were black or latin. She also said that the fashion industry prefers
white people. For example, last year of the 677 model girls only 27 were not white.
In addition, in some continents like Asia there are products that makes your skin look whiter. In my opinion, this is one of the worst things that there are in the
word.
In conclusion , we live in a superficial society , where a prettier, thinner girl has more opportunities , benefits and maybe a better life than a

Cocacola
coca cola advert
It seems to us that
it’s a hilarious advert which adverts Coca cola, it's for people whose life is very stressing, because it tells us that after a tiring day you can relax drinking Coca cola.
It's controversial that it ridicules doctors' advice when they are normally true, but on the other hand we don't usually have time to do all of the things that we are told to do.
It has a very simple humour, it cracks you up when you hear it because you can understand it quickly.
I reckon that it's original because you don't often think in this and it's true.
The music in this advert is a little bit stressing because it represent the meaning of the advert.
And you don't know that's a Coca cola advert until you see the end.

It is an advert of Zero Coke that is very originality because any advert had done one like that. This advert had recorded in a plane of Iberia in the Barajas's airport the 29th of January. All the flight attendants has been preparing the advert and they were sponsoring this coke. It has a lot of humor because the people did not anything about this advert and they will appear on television.
The music made that the advert has more scheme.
It seems to us that Zero Coke has the similar flavour than Normal Coke.

It seems to us that this video is about how pepsi could be better than cocacola for a lot of people. We reckon the audience may laugh at the end of the ad. At first you're going to guess the child is buying more than one cocacola and that's why people might laugh at the end of it, because of how he uses the cocacola. We stress in how it can makes you laugh without saying any word. It's an action music so you know the ad isn't going to finish after the first action. It's relationship with the product may be that it's shot in a drink machine and you expect it's related with some drink .It's very original you can't suppose the end of the advert

Get rid of cable
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPiCXLoWb3Q
This video shows us what happens if you don't get rid of cables. It seems to us that this is a comedy show because its main objective is to make people laugh. We guess that the producers of the video want us to think seriously of the consequences of not getting rid of cable in very dramatic way.
We suppose that audience doesn't expect the plot of the video because there aren't a lot of interesting videos about cables.
It has some controversial aspects like the exaggeration of the dramatic points of view of the consequences if you don't get rid of cable. Also the ad shows what might happen if you don't do this through funny stories.
We stress that the video want to make people laugh and attract the audience to get rid of their cables. One of the things that makes people laugh is its originality.

Comercial review- Never say no to Panda!
It seems to us that this advert is really original and imaginative. It's about a cheese brand called "Panda" which shows in the advertisement that if you say no to eating Panda cheese, a real Panda bear will come and destroy everything around you. In our opinion, it manages to keep people attention on watching it and we suppose that most of the spectators would like to buy one or even try it.
On the other hand, the employers are eating at the office, and we guess is not a correct behaviour at work.What's more, this kind of food has a wide market so people will be able to buy one. However, what it wants to communicate us is kinda shallow message.
To sum up, the music is well-chosen and it goes with it. The ad can even make you laugh, which is also awesome.

Cadbury's Gorilla
It seems to us that this advertisement is about a gorilla that is waiting for the inspiration that the chocolate is going to give him for playing amazingly the drums. What's more, the moment is full of expectation because the gorilla is smelling the chocolate bar. At first, we thought that the gorilla might start eating a really big cake of chocolate or killing someone to get the chocolate bar.
In one hand, we reckon that the advertisement is OK, because it's funny and it is interesting. On the other hand, we believe that the advert is too long, because in the original one, it passes 5 minutes until the gorilla starts to play the drums.
The background music is a beautiful Phil Collins's song, so it's funny how the gorilla starts to play the drums just in the moment that the original song's drummer makes a solo.
Here is a link to watch the short version of the advertisement:

ADVERT DIRT DEVIL
The advert is a parody of an exorcism film. The controversial aspects of the advert are that it can be scary sometimes, but at the end is very funny and original. It's for adults that need a vacuum cleaner. The humour can be a bit dark, but when the advert has finished, you see that is very funny. The music is tense, acording to the images. I reckon it's a very original add because you don't expect the purpose of the advert it's to show you a vacuum cleaner. To finish, i have to say that it's one of the best adverts I've ever seen. Enjoy it!

John Q.
“John Q.” is a dramatic film about a man called John Q. Archibald whose son faints at a baseball game. When John and his wife carry him immediately to the hospital, the doctors tell them that his son has a problem in his heart, which is three times bigger than normal ones, and they have to operate on him.
John speaks with his insurance company because the operation costs 250,000 $ and they don’t have enough money (75,000 $ have to be paid before the operation just to put the boy’s name in the waiting list for transplants). The man who speaks with him says that they can only give them 20,000 $ because of his short-time work.
His wife begs him to do anything that can save their son, so John decides to kidnap some people who are into the hospital until the hospital director puts his son’s name in the list.

It's a great film about John Lennon's life until he goes to Hamburg, so it's only about his troubled childhood and the Quarrymen's creation. It's based in a true story written by Lennon's sister.

In the funeral he sees Julia, his mother, and he discovered that she lives close Mimi, so he starts hanging out with her for knowing her better, Julia shows John Rock and Roll, when John was ejected from high school he goes living with her and she teach him how to play banjo.
Finally he come back living with Mimi and promises her to make an effort at high school, and Mimi buy him a guitar, but after that she sell it because he has failed many subjects. So John ask for money to Julia and create the Quarrymen with George Harrison, later Paul McCartney join the band. When Mimi and Julia are doing well, Julia get knocked down by a car.
At the end John decided to go with the Quarrymen to Hamburg.
