News:
Mia Gonzalez, a little girl, spent 3 and a half years of her life missing out. She couldn't have a normal life because of her heart problem. After passing by about 10 hospitals, finaly, the doctors realised that she had a malformation i her aorta, the vessel that pumps blood to her body. Now the young girl would need a heart operation to close a partn of her aorta, which was putting preasure o her windpipe, which was creating difficultss to breathe, swallow and get rid of phlegmes when she got a cold.
Unfortunately, Mia's operation was complicated, and if the surgeons of Nicklaus Children's Hospital wouldn't had the 3D printing technology, the operation could have been apprehensive. Earlier this year, the hospital acquired a 3D printer, which has been used to replicate organs that the patients needed. The heart's replica, made a lot easier the operation, Redmon Burke, the surgeon, attributes the model to save to him and the team about 2 hours in the operation room.

My 1st Batxillerat :)
My 1st
Batxillerat J
A new school year has ended for me, but it hasn’t been
a normal school year, I could say that it’s been so particular, nothing to do
with ESO or primary.
In some way, I think that I’ve done a good choice
coming here. This year has been so difficult, not only for exams and grades;
I’ve experienced some things that I’ve never felt before, specially for one
person. I’ve met a lot of people, I’ve
not made friends with everyone, but I’m happy about the new friends I made. I’m
happy about met again some of my old class mates, as Isaac and Miquel, I
haven’t seen them since we were at school, then we splitted and gone to
different high schools, and It’s nice to see them again.
Finally, now that’s ending, I can see where I was at
the beginning, and where I am now. I can see that I’ve grown as person, I’ve
learnt a lot thanks to a lot of people, people who I’m desiring to see them as
soon as I can and during a lot of time. I’m so happy about that, and, I can
say, that I’m a bit sad about the end. I would like to return as soon as
possible!
Should parents worry about cartoons?
Should
parents worry about cartoons?
It’s a fact that some parents blame the cartoons that
their sons watch lately to justify their behavior issues.
Everything depends on what’s your son doing or
watching, and of course his character. For example, I’ve been playing and
watching some weird things since I was younger. An example for that, I always
liked to watch “South Park”, and I realized that it’s a very weird cartoon;
they explain a lot of things, but in a weird thing. I played the “Grand Theft
Auto” series too, and what I learnt is to distinguish the good and evil,
because everything I saw there was evil. I thinki I'm pretty normal after all.
In conclusion, using me for an example, I don’t thinks
that theory it’s true, because I think I’m normal.
USA haters
USA haters
On the internet, I see a lot of people who complains
about the USA, and its “police of the world” game.
I can understand their opinion, I believe. It’s true
that the USA has been influencing a lot of the world, and not always by the
pacific way. They’ve been supporting the killing and murdering of people just
for its personal interests. They have the right to do it, because every country
has done something similar along its history. But the thing is, now with all
the media I think that its activities are more public and everyone can know
them, so there are a lot of more protests than in past years.
The animal I would like to be
The animal I
would like to be
That’s a thing that I’ve thought a lot of times, and
the majority of those times, I always finished in the same conclusion.
I think that be a hornet would be cool, because those
animals are so fast and small, the can go practically at any place quickly, and
to bite people if they annoy me, and now that I would we sneaky, they wouldn’t
never catch me, so I could enjoy a lot.
On the other hand, they have a short life-rate, I
believe, so I couldn’t live for too much, and that’s a bad thing to have.
But anyway, I think that would be cool.
Too many publicity on TV
Too many publicity on TV
Every time we watch TV, we pay attention to the TV
program or series which we are watching, but a lot of times those things that
we like are interrupted by that annoying publicity.
At least, for example, the 50% of the time we spend
watching TV is wasted by publicity, which just sends us the message to buy
stuff. It’s okay to use publicity, but not to abusing it. In Spain, there are TV chains, who use a lot
of publicity, and just because it’s cheaper to pay the fine for using too much
publicity, than use it in a normal quantity.
I think that there would must be some more penalties
for exceeding the limit.

Old bombs in Germany
After seventy years of the Second World War, the
people of Germany still finding old bombs and ammunitions. Every year, at least
20.000 tons of active bombs and ammunitions are being found and deactivated.
Some of them explode randomly, damaging people and buildings.
Specialists estimate that during the war, 1.5 million
tons were dropped tin German territory, and at least, that 15% of those bombs
were not detonated correctly, and could explode at any moment.
