Evacuated 200,000 people in California for severe fires

Evacuadas 200.000 personas en California por los graves incendiosLarge wildfires in Southern California have forced the evacuation of 200,000 people from different areas. They are kilometers and kilometers of devastated areas. In the Ventura area, for example, the flames have already carbonized some 38,000 hectares. Both this city and Santa Paula and Los Angeles were sold by the fires.

The rustic areas that surround them are very arid. The effect of the flames has not been seen only in the forest areas, there are hundreds of records of burning houses. More than 1,100 schools closed their doors as a preventive measure.

The danger yesterday got worse by the hurricane wind that plagues the region, with gusts of up to 130 kilometers per hour which made the flames spread with great speed. The first outbreaks were declared last Monday and the situation is expected to remain critical until the weekend.

'Samurai sword' attack leaves three dead at Tokyo shrine

A policeman stands guard in front of the main temple of the Tomioka Hachimangu shrine in Tokyo, Japan in this photo taken by Kyodo on December 8, 2017Three people were killed and another injured after a man attacked his sister with a Samurai sword, the chief priestess of a well-known Shinto shrine in Tokyo.

The event took place on Thursday night in the Tomioka Hachimangu sanctuary, located in the east of the Japanese capital and famous for being one of the sumo cradles in Japan, since it hosted tournaments of the sport during the Edo era.
 
The attack began when the 58-year-old priestess, Nagako Tomioka, got out of her car in the sanctuary and was confronted by her brother, Shigenaga Tomioka, the attacker,  who had 56 years old, and his wife, who had about 30 years old.

First,he attacked with a Samurai sword, his sister and caused her death, then the attacker's wife chased the priestess's driver and hurt him in the shoulder.

Shigenga Tomioka then stabbed his wife and committed suicide with the same bladed weapon.

The cause of the murdering appears to be the post of chief priest that his sister had relegated from him about a decade ago.


OPINION:
It sounds like a movie that siblings murder each other for a position. It is strange because the attacker, after killing his sister, also murder his wife and then himself, maybe was scared of the consequences of the crime.

El anuncio de Trump sobre Jerusalén dispara la furia palestina: al menos 80 heridosThousands of Palestinians went out to the streets in Gaza, West Bank and the oriental zone of Jerusalem in the first protests against EEUU's decision of recognizing this city as the capital of Israel. 

In Gaza, hundreds of Palestinians came to the frontier zones, where they faced the Israeli troops, which answered with shots hurting six persons, one of which is in critical state, according to medical sources.


In Ramala (West Bank), hundreds of persons congregated to midday in Al Manara's square, from where they went towards a position of military Israeli control in the North-East of the city, where they threw stones and Molotov cocktails to the soldiers, who answered with live ammunition, bullets of steel covered with rubber and teargases.

I think Donald Trump shouldn't get involved in matters that don't concern him.
His making problems between two countries that already had their disputes and that is called making problems.

IOC bans Russia from 2018 Winter Olympics


The IOC (International Olympic Committee) bans Russia from participating 2018 Winter Olympic Games that would have placed in Pyeongchang.

All began when the director of Russia's anti-doping investigator, doctor Grigory Rodchenkov, alleged that the country has a programme of doping and revealed that he had created substances to enhance athlete's performances and switched urine samples to avoid detection. The Wada (The World Anti Doping Agency) to look into those allegations enlisted the services of a law professor and a sports lawyer, Richard McLaren. McLaren concluded that 1.000 athletes across 30 sports benefitted from the doping between 2012 and 2015. Wada obtained a Russian laboratory database which it corroborated McLaren's conclusions.

IOC's president, Thomas Bach after 17 months of investigations came to the decision  to suspend The Russian Olympic Committee. Whatever, the IOC will invite Russian clean athletes to compete in February under the name 'Olympic Athlete from Russia' (OAR) and with a neutral flag.

OPINION:
I think that doping controls have to be more efficient. Nowadays the science has advanced and new technics of hides doping had appeared. In my opinion, if you want to win a competition, you have to do it honestly and without cheating, otherwise the merit of winning isn't real.

Bullied girl, Julia Derbyshire 'just wanted to be loved'

Julia Derbyshire is a girl who is death for talking about her sexuality. All begins when she has 13 years, Julia talks with a friend about her sexuality, and this friend told to everyone in the school what Julia had explained to her. From that moment the bullying started. Julia was abused physically, psychologically and online. When the bullying stated Julia was living in the USA, but she returned to the UK, to live the last years with her father.

Julia developed mental health problems from the bullying and returned to the websites where she was abused to convince the people that she was a great person, and she only wants to be loved and accepted. Julia died in October 2015 and she was 16, after five days trying to kill herself. 

Since that day, Julia's father, Adrian Derbyshire, started a campaign to offer "support against self harm and suicide. "I wouldn't want any other parent to go through what I am going through at the moment," He said. Adrian had talked to more than 200.000 children in the last two years about his experience and he thinks that should be more education in schools about abuses online to protect our children. He also shared pictures of her dead daughter in the hospital to raise awareness, "It was a very difficult decision to take the picture" he said.

OPINION: I think that what the father said about the education about abuse online should exist in all the schools to make awareness, and also normalize sexuality because it is a natural thing. It's pathetic that a young girl, with the world on her foot, die because talking about a normal and natural thing, and that is why I think schools and the child's parents have to talk openly about these subjects, to avoid unnecessary deaths.

BACKPACKER


I have always been fascinated and liked the wild animals, jungle, exotic and unexplored places. I have a list of things I like to do and places where I would like to go, like diving in the Maldives, go on a safari to see elephants, crocodiles, buffaloes, leopards, bears, deer, lizards, orangutans and many more animals that I love. Also, one of my destinations is the Amazonia of Brazil and do expeditions in it. On the other hand, I also want to go on a cruise around the Antarctic to discover glaciers, fjords and observe polar bears, arctic foxes, reindeer, seals, walrus, whales and flocks of birds.

Visit amazing temples in different countries and cultures, Buddhists and Hindus. Get into the crater of a volcano, such as the island of Java in Indonesia. Live for a while in the city of Chiang Mai, Thailand and try their delicious food. Enjoy traditional massage each city I will visit. Bathe in paradisaical beaches with turquoise and crystal clear waters, coral reefs and white sand. Visit the curious and quirky country of Myanmar. Spending time in a meditation centre and visit indigenous tribes. 

The list would continue, since the world is very big, but in short, I want to explore every place and site of this world. My only fear that I have is not to be able to make it for any reason, not have the sufficient time or the money, for example.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

One of my favourite series is The Vampire Diaries. As the name indicate is a fantasian serie about two vampire brothers, Damon and Stefan, who fight for a human girl love, Elena. I started watch this serie because of my friend Xana, who recomended me. 
There are 8 seasons and all of them are plenty of of adventures, a lot of people die and many new characters appear. I don't gonna to explain the plot because as I say, happens a lot of things and I would never end but I'm going to explain who is my favourite character. There are many character that I like but if I have to chose, I would chose Bonnie. Bonnie is Elena's best friend and she is a Bennett witch. Aside from her supernatural abilities, she is very loyal and caring about her friends, even when it constantly went against her code of magic. Over the seasons, she slowly became a strong and independent woman. She always put on a brave face, but she faced very difficult situations in her short life, like the death of her parents, some of her friends and even her own death, but she never lost the hope.
