PUDDINS CAFÉ

If I had to recommend a popular café, I would recommend ¨The Puddin Cafe Shop¨in Barcelona. The café is located in Avinguda Diagonal, which is a very long street near the city centre.

The local is big and there are three floors, the entrance is in middle floor. The entrance is on the middle floor, the high and low floors are only used for having a meal). On  the middle floor you can also have a meal but you have to pay only there.

The decoration is about Harry Potter. On the wall there is a big picture of Hogwarts School, there are the flags of Hogwarts teams and on the door there is a big ticket of Hogwarts Express. On the low floor there are a lot of board games.

You can go there for lunch or have a snack. If you go for lunch, you can eat pasta, salads, hamburgers or sandwiches. In my opinion it is better to go for a snack because they cook delicious cakes and prepare different milkshakes and smoothies and the price is affordable.

The staff are young people who are very cheerful and efficient. They help you with  your doubts about the cakes.

I hope you can go someday!

THE NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT

It was a lovely Summer night. My friend and I were enjoying some delicious chicken legs with mashed potatoes at the birthday party of the Morrisons' daughter. The place was really enormous. There were about two hundred people there. It was a party as we had never seen before.

As I made my way to the toilette, the lights suddenly went out and a great yell of desperation was heard at once. It was so dark that nobody attempted to move. However, I tried to go back to my table which was not so far. Walking past the salads table, I bumped into one of the twenty waiters and all the saucers, forks and knives he was carrying were soon on the floor, with a terrible boom.

People bursted out laughing in spite of not knowing exactly what had happened. I was going to apologize when the waiter, hiding his anger, said it had been his fault and was really sorry. He ordered me to sit back while he was down on his knees picking up the broken pots and muttering something which I could not hear. That had been a nerve-racking experience.

It was only after I sat at my table again that I was happy and safe. My friend did not imagine that I had been the guilty of that scene and I thought she was never going to know it.

For the next half an hour the party was in complete darkness until the waiters lit some candles which turned out to be very romantic. Everyone was feeling the same and there were some jokes to the owners of the house, who were not only disappointed but like bursting into tears.

As if all this was not enough, the candle which was on our table fell down on the table-cloth and it started burning. I tried putting it out with my shoe but a waiter soon brought some water and extinguished it.

As soon as we sat again, the lights came back to find out that my trousers were covered in tomato sauce and my table was completely gone. That was a night I will never forget.

ANGLES AND SHOTS

This photo is from a medium shot, because we can see half of the model's body. In this case I've chosen this photo because it gave me a feeling that I can't describe, but it makes me think if he is a good person or not, regardless if I know him or not, and at the and I think the photo is an awesome idea, the perfect spot with the perfect illumination and edition.

For sure a low angle shot because is a shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. I've chosen this photo because I feel so small that I thought I was insignificant for a moment, and I have chosen this photo of the  well known Eiffel Tower because it is one of the most iconic monument in France, and it's enormous.

This photo is for sure a portrait which the face and its expression is predominant. I've chosen this photo because Clavero's expression is so serious that makes think if all things that happen in life are good or not, for example smoking, for the smoke on the photo, or why people won't help the ones who really need to...

This is easy to recognize it, it is an aerial shot, because is a shot of a scene or photo taken from a higher vantage point than what is being filmed. In the photo I choose, we can see an enormous part of New York, and also because it made me feel like I was enormous and I have a lot of power in my hands with only taking a step.

This is also easy to recognize, this photo is taken from the photographer's point of view. I've chosen this photo because it made me imagine a future when I drive such a great motorcycle like in the picture with all my friends that will drive good motorcycles too.

ICONIC IMAGE

Kevin Carter’s iconic photograph of a starving Sudanese girl, who collapsed on her way to a feeding centre while a vulture waited nearby, will always remain controversial because of the unintended suspense it creates. 

Both the child and the vulture are still, but it’s a throbbing stillness, one that makes the viewer desperate for a second frame, and the other logically, the composition suggests only two possibilities: either the vulture feasted on the child, which the viewer feels certain was only a matter of time when the photo was taken, or it did not. But these possibilities don’t exist just as possibilities, they become loaded with emotion and turn into haunting questions. 

In 1993, when the image was first published in The New York Times, most people turned to Carter, a South African photojournalist, for answers. The questions were not limited to the fate of the child but extended to Carter’s ethics. Why did he stand around taking pictures instead of helping the child? The questions then turned into accusations.

 I've chosen this iconic picture because it made me think and think of the little girl who is there standing starving with no help, but it made me think of how it is going to be right now, in the present: Is she alive? Is she dead? Is she good and healthy now? What she thinks about the photo..? And many more. And it made me investigate about the photo.

POVERTY IN AFRICA

POVERTY IN AFRICA

Africa is currently the poorest continent on Earth, we can understand it better by knowing that 28 countries of the continent are among the poorest on the planet. But also among the whole set of countries in Africa there are also three very rich countries in terms of economy (South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt).

Nowadays Africa is known as a poor continent, since both in the news and in the school, only the bad part of the continent is taught (wars, poverty, desert areas, the need for help, lack of education as well as food etc..), and it is not taught what the continent is really changing, as some of the countries are making great strides in the development of the country as on the continent, to try to fix the country making Africa get a better reputation. They are improving governments, making children better educated and not having to stop studying at such an early age to help their parents in the field or whatever.

Apart from the countries themselves, the other continents have created large organizations of people, better known as ONG, to help in Africa in every way: lack of medicines, education, food collection, etc. Whether with teachers, doctors, volunteers, among others. With their help and the money raised by the calls for help from the continent itself, it is growing and it may be as developed in the future as others. And the best thing about this is that you can also help the continent, donating or going through some experiences helping the little kids by going yourself to help them. And the best thing about this is that you can also help the continent, donating or going through some experiences helping the little kids by going yourself to help them.

TED TALK

How we can bring mental health support to refugees

SUMMARY

Hundreds of thousands refugees pass throughout a health catastrophe, living many dramatic scenes in their lives. In this TED TALK Fellow Essam Daod has been working in camps, rescue boats and the shorelines of Greece and the Mediterranean Sea to help refugees (a quarter of them are children) reframe their experiences through short, powerful psychological interventions.

And he presents to the people all the strategies to help this little kid. And the most important thing in this group is that we have to make the kids see their experience like something good and something that only a few people like themselves like heroes.

PERSONAL OPINION

I think this TED TALK is so interesting because I love to solve problems and more than once I've thought in helping with these operations to help these people. I think this TED TALK has only strong points because the TED TALKER is always using examples with the experiences he has gone through, using even a story. Also, I think that everyone in this world deserves an opportunity to be better than in a past and getting better with people's help. In my opinion humans can help one another and this TED TALK is an example of it.

NEWS

CORONAVIRUS

The Coronavirus is the most recent global threat. It's a new virus that was discovered at 60's, but his origin is unknown. It is very easy to be passed from person to person.

When you are infected, the initial stages, the symptoms include fatigue and difficulty with breathing. The virus causes a lung infection, so the infected people have problems with breathing, they feel very tired. In some cases, the sickness can be mild; however, it can be fatal, too, and in the worst case you can die.

The infections are rising and China made a call to his habitants for advice that the best option to not have the virus is to leave the area. But actually there is starting to be cases in other parts of the world: Japan, Thailand, South Korea, France, and one possible case in Spain.

Personal opinion: I think that the Coronavirus it is not a global term, there is only 106 deaths and 4600 infections, imagine the little population that is comparable to all Earth habitants. Also, most of the deaths, that I am sorry for the ones who lost their family, friends, whatever most of the deaths are from ill people, ancians and little kids.

SPACEX PASSES TEST

Recently Space X made an important test, it is about an astronaut capsule, it works when the system or the rocket is in flying, and if there is some sort of accident, the capsule is directly launched to the exterior.

The test was perfectly approved because the astronaut that were launched in the capsule was in a perfect state of health, and the NASA, SpaceX and Boeing are working to put this system into his aircrafts.

Personal opinion: I think this is a very good advance for the technology and also gives me a good vision for a future where we could go to Mars. So if there is something wrong, I think this is the best solution to it.

PUERTO RICO HELP

Puerto Rico is currently in a critical state, because two hurricanes  hit and destroy a big part of the country. At the beginning of January, there were earthquakes that injured several people and killed one person.

The country needs a lot of help and this means that it needs money... And the US Congress was approved to administer $20 billion to Puerto Rico; however, the country has only received $1.5 billion. In September.The US Congress missed a legal deadline to issue, and the US Congress said that this was because of political unrest on the island.

Personal opinion: The US Congress made the things worse and in a good way I think there is necessary to have decisions about this issue. If Puerto needs help it needs help, and if the US Congress promised that they will help them with the money, then do it, and do it well.

BIOGRAPHY OF RICK SANCHEZ

Rick Sanchez is the co-eponymous main character and leading protagonist of Rick and Morty's show. He is a genius scientist whose alcoholism and reckless, nihilistic behavior are a source of concern for his daughter's family, as well as the safety of their son, Morty. He is voiced by Justin Roiland. He is later revealed to be Morty's cousin in an interview with Roiland himself.

Not much is known about Rick's life before his current state seen in the show except for a few things that have been vaguely mentioned in the series. It has been mentioned multiple times that Rick has been absent from the family for at least fourteen years and it wasn't until one year before the events of "Something Ricked This Way Comes" when Rick finally returned to the Smith house on January 15th. The reason for his absence is unknown to the rest of the family.

In the Pilot episode, Rick told Beth that he loved the eggs that she made him and that her mother would have loved them too if she were still there. In the episode Rick Potion ,It is revealed that Rick has a very pessimistic worldview, informing Morty that love is "just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed", advising him not to continue the cycle of love, marriage and heartbreak that he had to go through and that his parents would likely go through, encouraging him to direct his energy towards science. This could imply that the woman he married before is either divorced and/or deceased as of now. In the same episode, he and Morty leave their original dimension (Dimension C-137) in favour of the one they currently reside in.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

A New Year's resolution is a promise a person makes for the new year. Regardless of what resolution you commit to, the goal is to improve life in the coming year. I was interested about the term and I searched information, and I found out that the 80 % of the new year's resolutions have failed already in February...

This is why I think that year by year, there are less new year resolutions, because there are so many probabilities of failing. And if we feel we are going to be disappointed with ourselves, in spite of this, these are my few new year resolutions:

• Pass 4 ESO

• Exercise more.

• Get organized.

• Learn a new skill or hobby.

• Live life to the fullest.

• Save more money and spend less money.

• Spend more time with family and friends.

• STAY ALIVE.
