Man spent 15 years with pencil in head after childhood accident



A 24-years-old man from Afghanistan sought help in 2011 after suffering headaches, worsening vision in one eye,... The doctors made a scan and showed that a 10-centimeter pencil was in his head, from his sinus to pharynx and it injured his right eye. The man said that he didn't know how the pencil got there but he said that when he was a child. once he fell badly. 


Strange? Really strange! How can a person have a pencil in his head? Strange things happen, but this is really hard. Can you imagine you with it in your head? Impossible. And without knowing it... I don't know how he could survive. I don't have anything to say about this because it's shocking.

Study finds Facebook helps users ‘Like’ themselves better

Facebook makes elevate a person's seelf-esteem because you always try to post the best you have. But there's not only this, something wrong is on it and that's that this person have the best image of himself, and then, when they see them in an other way, they don't like it.

In my opinion I think it's something everybody do, posting every beautiful picture they have and the best photo they have. And an other consequence of this, when an other person post some photo about you and you don't see yourself fine, you can get angry even for a photo. It's incredible what this famous Facebook can do.

Mom of baby found in Chinese sewer won't be charged





Do you really think he fell accidentally? Incredible. That's all I can say about this news. I think that it's impossible a baby survives in the situation he was, and the mother, I think he can't have this child anymore, she's not a good mother, unless something really strange happened to this little child and for this reason he fell accidentally, but I thing the probabilities that this happened are really low. If I were the judge, this 22-girl, wouldn't have his son anymore. It's impossible. It's something irreal.

Online note service Evernote latest firm to get hacked



Evernote, the notes app, has been hacked and this fact has forced to the company to ask the users to change their account passwords.
There's one message on the official Blog of Evernote and it says that the hackers didn't take key words from the users or information about online payments. However, they have recomended to all them to reset the passwords as a caution.The team from Evernote say: "In our investigation we haven't found evidence that they really entered, changed or lost some content kept in Evernote. We don't have any evidence that some information about payments to Evernote Premium or Evernote Business had been achieved."Another important thing, is that the hackers could be able to get information like user names, passwords and e-mails.For all this reasons, Evernote will request all the users to change the password the next time they login this app.

In my opinion I think that this news was expected... Nowadays everything is getting hacked and it's better not keeping a lot of things on the Internet, because any day you can get scared. I don't use this app but I have it on my mobile phone, and now that I know that, I'm sure I'm not going to use it!

In 2011, Grenpeace talked to Zara to eliminate hazardous chemicals from all the clothes they make.
This week, Zara says that they're going to get rid of some of the worst chemicals, and not only this chain, some others retailers want to do te same.
All the data are going to be written on the clothing because everybody could know about what t's made of.
The only solution at this pollution problem for the environment is that all the cloting companies can form part to all this breakthrough.


Opinion:

I think that this project is a good proposal for every clothes company. If they get this point right, maybe the environment will be better or if it's not possible, avoid to get it worse.
In my opinion, I think it's going to be difficult that all the other companies that the text mentions, fulfill this purpose.


Baby died from head injury

A week-boy was killed for a dog. This happened in his grandparents' house, in Telford. He died because the family's dog, a Jack Rusell, bit the little boy in this head. This dog was self-sacrificing when Harry died.

I just can't imagine how the family felt when they lost their little baby, that only was a week alive. It's the worst thing it can happens to you.
I really love animals, but I don't think it's usual that a dog bites a baby, maybe it was because he was gealous, but the parents, if they'd see that the dog was a bit gealous, they'd be a bit careful. I don't know, it's very hard to say my opinion about this topic, I think it must be terrible.

A tragedy in Madrid

A Halloween party was celebrated in Madrid, on the Arena. There were 10000 people and there only was place for 9000, approximately. Someone made fire inside and people started going out from the Arena. As there was a lot of people, some of them died. Two of them were 18 and the other one 25, which two of them died there and the other girl could arrive to the hospital but didn't survived.

My opinion about this is that there was no security, I think most of people didn't buy the tickets for the concert, so they couldn't go inside. I've seen in internet that the securities officers didn't ask for their DNI, so most of them were under-age. The Mayor from Madrid said that she'll ban events like this one, and I think it's not right because they can do it but caring a bit more for the people that's inside.

Here you hace the new on internet:
Two of the victims were 18 years old, while the third was 25, according to Spanish police.

Chiese students "forced" to work on iPhone 5 sent back to school

Some Chinese students were pulled out of school, for the same one, to go to work on iPhone 5. Some universities have suspended classes for the next month because there's a lot of people out of studies. They are workind six 12-hour days per week, and they only earn about $224. If they don't finish their work, they must stand to this company.

I think it's totally unfair. Thei're studying, but the same university that they are forces them to go working. And it's not all, if they don't finish they work, a part of earning very little, they have to do extra hours to finish their work. I think it has to be banned this law, poor them, they must be desesperate for their studies.

Here you have the hole new: http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/6/3297995/forced-to-work-on-the-iphone-5-thats-what-these-chinese-students-claim
