Hogwarts - Pottermore

A friend of mine have read all the Harry Potter books, and when we went to London with the school, we went to King's Cross, a station were you can find a Harry Potter shop and a simulation of the entrance on the Platform 93/4. 
If you want to see which is your Hogwarts house, you must go to Pottermore (click here) and make a new count on the top left of the screen, where it says 'profile'. Then, you'll have the option to click on a part of you're profile where it says 'which is your Hogwarts house'?. You click there and you'll have to answer the questions.
I did the quiz because my friend that read all the book is very annoying so I did the test. I answered and my house is SLYTHERIN. It made me laugh so much! In fact, I think that the Slytherin is the best one, they're intelligent and very clever, astute,..
My friend that made me do the quiz is Ravenclaw, so it's time for you to know which is your house in Hogwarts!

Why is Greenland's ice getting darker?

NEWS LINK

The ice and snow in Greenland is getting darker and darker since 1981. Scientists have been studying the cause of this problem, and they conlcuded that it's caused by the increase of the solar radiation absorbation. This increase is caused by the global warming, that make the ice melt and reduce the amount of ice, making it darker not only for the absotbing of the radiation, the wildfires of China and other countries are making this effect increase year by years, and now the study is focused on how to stop it.
Investigators say that we must reduce the climate change and reestablish the natural temperature of the planet to make this ice more solid and whiter than now.

Beauty dialogue - Podcast

One day in a waiting room on a surgery department, two clients are wating for their plastic surgery. To break the ice, one man said...

A: Hello, what do you want to change about your body ?
B: I don't like my chin, i just want to make it bigger and more attractive.
A: Oh, that's sounds great!
B: And you? What don't you like of your body?
A: I want to make my nose thiner, it's too wide and large.
B: My sister has made that surgery too, but it went wrong and it didn't end up very well and she looks worse now.
A: Oh, what a shame, I hope it doesn't happens to me.
B: My friends don't agree about doing this surgery, they say that my chin is already good now, but when I look myself at the mirror I just want to change it.
A: It happens to me too, but it's true that surgery sometimes make poeple look worse. Maybe we should think about it one more time about doing plastic surgery.
B: Yes, maybe you're right. A lot of famous poeple look uglier after the plastic surgery. Also, it costs a lot of money and painful times, so I think it isn't woth it.
A: Do you think we should go and don't make our surgery?
B: Yes, of course, we must accept how we are, what makes us special and stop looking the extern beauty. Measures, etc. are only numbers.
A: You're right! I think you're one of the most reasonable person I've ever met.
B: OK, let's go. Let's admit how we are and ignore what other people think about, everyone has defects and beauty, inside or outside, noone is perfect.
A: I agree with you completely.

Recordings of the sea's deepest point

NEWS LINK

The whales, orcs and other animals that live on the ocean stablish a frequency sound to communicate with each other. This news shows us sounds of animsl that are trying to communicate with their species from the deepst point inside the sea. The problem here is the sound of the ships which are transporting material between continents, and that make the communication for the animals inside the ocean very difficult, and that can cause serious problems.
If the noise that comes from transporter ships doesn't stop, the recording are going to be negatively modified, and that will cause a change for the sea live. 
The recordings were made by researches from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to show the poeple the importance of the problem
Here I leave you the recordings.

Returning to voleiball

Latelly I've been thinking about sports that I've done, and of them is voleiball. This sport makes me remind very happy moments playing with my friends and enjoying playing against other voleiball teams from other catalan locations (Girona, Vidreres, Castelló d'Empúries,...). Since that moment, I decided to restart with this sport and continue my advancing. This time I went with the veteran team of St. Pere Pesacdor, where adult people play in it, but friends of my age too. When I started it was quite diffciult to practice again, and I learnt how to do the 'positions', where each player has one of the six position of the voleiball field. This consists of normal rotating, but when your team serves you must change for your principla position, and at the beggining is like doing maths classes, but when you get used to it it's not that diffcult than it seems when you start.

Now a friend of mine that played with me years ago voleiball has come to team, and now he's learning the 'positions', ans I'm very happy to play with him and my other friends again in this fantastic team sport.

Trip to Lleida - The border between Aragó and Catalunya

This winter I went to Lleida with my sister and some ornithologists to see the border between Aragó and Catalunya. There's the Noguera river, where you can see landscapes that seems like from a fanatsy story. We passes de border through a bridge that moves a lot because it's not subjected from the middle part, so it moves when it's windy. There's a ladder made of wood that's subjected on a wall, and that ladder it's not recommended for cardiac people.We saw lots of birds and very rare ones.

Apart from that, the water had a very strange colour, it wasn't blu nor green, it was turquoise because of the rocks. The photo that i'm going to show you has not been modified by photoshop or any program like that, the photo shows the water colour as it's shown naturally.

Here I leave you some interesting photos and see the beauty of this dream landscape. 

In this photo you can see the Noguera river. The left part of the territory is Aragó and the right one is Catalunya.

This bridge is the one that moves a lot when it's windy

This is the ladder where cardiacs can have an attack. My personal experinece is that you have to be very brave to arrive at the end of this nightmare ladder.

Learning a new sport

Since winter has arrived, me and my family has the idea to go to ski with friends of mine. When I was very little I learnt skiing and I liked it so much, but now that I returned to the snow I practiced snowboarding.

Snowboarding consists of using a snowboard table to slide over a surface covered by snow. 

My first lesson was a little frightening because you have to reach the whole control of the table and rest the back leg and put all the your mass on the front of the table, on the front leg, so you can move your back leg to change the direcction of the table. When you're going down a track, it's very scary to put all your mass in front of the table because it seems like you're going to fall ahead and get very injured, but when you gain confidence it's not that difficult.

This weekend I went to Les Angles, a very big ski station, in France, 2 and a half hours from St. Pere Pescador. This time I went very fast though the skiing tracks and I overtook lots of people that before I couldn't.

I'm very pleased with this new sport that I've just learnt, and I hope that my progress on it will be successful.

Research project presentation

During my presentation I failed with some words and for a moment I went blank, and also I forgot a little part of the description that I prepares, but in the major part of the presentation, from my point of view, I didn't present that bad considering the vocabulary and its difficulties. Anyway, I must improve and don't get nervous, and this video will make me realize the mistakes that during the presentation are not visible for me.

Can the internet make the world a better place?

I actually think that the Internet, including the technologies and social media can make the world a better place, mainly because people who live away from others can establish a comunication and knoe each other.
Nowadays the internet saved lots of people's lives; for example, the avalcnhe of the refugees is increasing and a lot of people die everyday among the refugees, but thanks to their mobile phones they're able to connect on the internet and wifi to request help and communiacte with their family.
Now the question is: Is the internet well used? I don't agree about that internet is being well used; in fact, I think that the internet has its advantages and benefits (it can be very powerful), but it's used only for fun: watching videos, post and comment photos, and that kind of things that normal people do. But we've forgotten about all the poeple that die  everyday in Africa and other poor states, and the climate change; that's why we must consider that we can do more than we realize.
In conclusion, Internet is a powerful tool that can save a lor of people's lives and counter the climate change, that can save a alot of animal's lives too; the problem is that people don't accept the reality and think for themselves, that's why mankind must make a big change, not only in the material world, in the phychological world too.

Research project - Abstract

My research project consists of the study and examination of the different types of dried fruit and nuts. This work has a first theoretical part which explains the general concept of the fatty acids, specifying he differences between the saturated and the unsaturated ones, and it includes a part of the benefits that this type of food can provide to our body. On the hand, there is a practical part, shich consists of an experiment made with acetone and dried fruit, so we could mix them and extract the fatty acids from each of them, that let us study which of the dried fruit has more fatty acids and other nutritional information that helped me to match the results of the experiment.

The main objective of this project is to match each dried fruit, learn to use different laboratory tools, and establish the different benefits of this peculiar food. My aims were fully completed and analized.

Here we can see the fatty acids extraction of the pistachios. This green color makes the liquid seem like a rare potion.

This photo shows us the fatty acids extraction of the nuts. As you can see, it's almost colorless.
