RARE ALBINO ORANGUTAN

Rare Albino Orangutan Rescued From Captivity In Indonesia
http://all-that-is-interesting.com/albino-orangutan
Recently, conservationists rescued the five-year-old albino orangutan, a member of the species from captivity in Borneo, Indonesia. Due to all her fragile characteristics, white hair and bright eyes, she's at a very high level of risk.

She was kept captive for two days with a local family but now she's been taking care of in a special place prepared to her condition.

Albino OrangutanUnfortunately, she lost her mother and that was followed by this illegal capture, which will be a trauma that she'll have to recover of as soon as possible by the experts. Also, the population of the Bornean species experienced sharp declines in recent years and that's a sign that we'll have to take care of the world if we want to keep seeing those amazing and beautiful animals.
Basically, this article is trying to warn us about the species that are in danger and how things like that can affect to them in a really negative way because, even though we see them as just animals, they have the same feelings as humans.

MYSTERY SEA CREATURE

Asrul Tuanakota was the one who found the strange animal and he thought it was a stranded boat. But soon, he realized that he had found some mysterious sea creature that had appeared dead on the shore and  had turned the surrounding water red. Also, the animal weights approximately four elephants.

Indonesia Sea CreatureSome locals inhabitants have identified the mystery creature as a giant squid. However, Marcus Chua of Singapore’s Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum told that there are no records of giant squids in the waters of Indonesia.Some peole states that it may be some kind of whale as well. But the conditions of the animal's body can't help to define what is this mysterious creature.
I think that this kind of news show us how much of the world we still have to find out and that many of the legends and miths that we know, may be true due to all this unknowledge and I find that it's pretty exciting.

TEEN FOUND LOCKED UP BY HIS PARENTS

Police Rescue 14-Year-Old Locked Up By Parents Since Birth

http://all-that-is-interesting.com/israel-teen-rescue
Police in the Israeli city of Hadera found a 14 year-old boy in a really bad conditions inside the family's courtyard from what seems a long time. The family had moved from Russia to Israel in 2006 but they never reported that they had a son and never registred him in school. Also it seems that the parents had taken their son into the building’s courtyard at night once or twice a month. 
Many Cages
The lawyer in defense of the parents claims that the decision to keep him inside was to “protect the boy, who had mental health problems.” But one neighbor states that he saw the boy looking like a zombie and that he seemed to need help as soon as possible.
Personally, I can't believe that a thing like this happens nowadays, and never I would think that someone could do this to their own son. It's a very criminal act and It should have several consecuences because who knows what that poor boy has been through during all these years.


REMOTED PLACES OF THE EARTH

ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE PLACES IN THE PLANET: ALERT
Can you imagine living in a place so extreme that in summer it never gets dark and in winter darkness is all you see?
Well, I thought that It will be intersting to see how is living in one of the most remote places in Human Civilization, like the town of Alert in Canada.
Alert is the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world, being only 817km away from the North Pole. The number of inhabitants is around 62 people living there permanently and some ''hosts'' like military forces or scientintist and ecologists.

Remote Places Alert Canada
Personally I think that it should be a really nice experience to go there some time and relax from all the issues of the consumism world. Living there must be really hard for the people because their weather conditions are extreme and the life is not easy when it comes to this certain circumstances. But I think that for the people living in a big city, it could be an interesting experiment to spend some time there, enjoying the natural enviroment and, mainly, respecting it. Because we don't take the care that we should be showing to the nature due to all the facilities that we have in our countries. 

HUMAN RIGHTS NEWS

As I said in my other post about human rights, I will be focusing in the 2nd article: ''Don't discriminate''. I wanted to dig deeper with this right and I thought that a news about the several terrorists attacks that we've suffered lately are a clear example of discrimination. For example, I choose the most recent in the European culture, the attack on Westminster's Parliament in London.


The attack began when one man was driving crazily down the street in the Tower Bridge of London, harrassing brutally the pedestrians. He managed to kill four of them and injured over fifty other pedestrians.After that fatality, he crushed his car in front of the Parliament, where it was taking place a political reunion, and was shot to death a few moments later by a police officer.
Resultat d'imatges de westminster attackBut this is just another tragedy of this awful attacks. I think that it's completely brutal to see people killing another people just because they have different ideologies when it comes to religion. Also, I have to stand out that, unfourtanetly, the occidental media doesn't pay the attention that it deserves the constants attacks that the people in Siria are receiving. They only show to world the attacks in places like, France, the UK, Germany, etc. The people that are suffering this kind of things, either if they're Sirian or French, they should be treated and taking care as equal. If we don't, then we are being hypocrite and we're also discriminating.

A NEW BEGINNING

This year is our last one in high school. It has been a long way since we first started in 1st of ESO. I remember how we were really scared and excited the first day and it's really interesting to see that I have the same feeling now that I'm leaving high school. 
Resultat d'imatges de it's not the end it's just the beginning quote
Through all these years we met a lot of people, and some of them will be some of the friends that we will never forget and the ones that we will keep in touch with. But, obviously, it's really hard to keep in contact with everyone and maybe some friends that are really close to us now, will never appear again in our lives. And that's why we all are anxious about leaving, because there's this sad and hard moment when we will have to say goodbye.

On the other hand, another thing is expecting us: university. It will be one of the most significant changes from our lives because we'll have to be away from home and start to be independent. We'll have to make defining choices like what are we going to study, where, etc. It sure will be really challenging and maybe hard to handle sometimes, but those years can be the best ones of our lives and the many new experiences that we'll have will make it worth.

MARIE CURIE: A RADIANT WOMAN

In this you say I wanted to talk about one of the most influential woman from the modern history, Marie Curie. I think that it's very interesting to see that a woman in that epoque could achieve the things that she did and how her studies influenced science so much.

Marie Curie was born in Poland in the year 1867, which was then occupied by the Russians, and she belonged to a poor family. Marie had a lot of interest in studying but the little amount of money that the family was receiving wasn't enough to pay them and they decided to waste it in Marie's older sister, so she couldn't have this privilege. Bronislawa, her older sister, got married and that were very good news for Marie because  that meant that his parents no longer had to take care of Bronislawa economically. Marie, taking advantage of this in 1892, introduced herself to the world of physics, focused on the subject of spontaneous uranium radiation. She decided to move to Paris to continue her studies and there he met Pierre Curie, who directed the laboratory of the School of Physics and Chemistry. They had a good chemistry since the beginning and they got married in 1895.

One of the most known is that uranium oxide emitted a much more powerful radiation than uranium itself and the discovery of two unknown chemical elements: polonium and radium. All of this discoveries made them win a Nobel Prize of Pysics in 1903. Also, she is known for the merit of being the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne in Paris.

LONDON TRIP

This last april we celebrated the ending of our last high school year by going to spend some days in London.
We had to wake up very early in the morning...or should I say night? Because we had to be at school at 2am. We were all very excited but we were also very tired. Luckily, we had two hours until we arrived at the Barcelona airport, so we could get some rest in the bus. Once we had arrived at the airport and we passed the control areas, we had to wait for our flight and the majority of us took some rest in some near comfortable chairs. Finally, we took our flight at almost 7 am to Gatwick, where we arrived at 8am.
Once we were there, we had to take another bus to the center of London, where our hostel would be. We only had time to leave our luggage in the main room of the hostel and leave faster to our meeting with a guide. And basically the first day consisted of visiting the most famous places of London, like the Big Ben, Covent Garden, Picadilly Circus or the Buckingham Palace and, even though we were extremely tired, we had a really good first day.
In the second day, my favorite one, we went to the British Museum in the morning. There, we had to find some masterpieces that our teachers handed us.  We were able to find them and then we spent some time admiring and discovering workarts. Afterwards, we were headed to Camden Town, which I particulary enjoyed A LOT. 
I was really excited to go there because I have heard that there were a lot of shops from different kind of things and food from all the cultures and countries you can imagine. We spent the afternoon walking around by ourselfs and I think we all had a great time there. And the day was just getting better because we had the chance to come back to the center by boat, which show us the natural landscapes of the city. After that wonderful time, we had dinner in a restaurant nearby and then we met up with a boy named Alvaro, who showed us where the famous killer Jack the Ripper murdered his victims and the history of this mysterious man.
In our third day, we visited a lot of museums. First, we went to the National Gallery, which I enjoyed a lot because some of the paintings that we are studying in History of Art were there and we could admire them. After that, we had free time and my friends and I decided that It would be cool, and so did our other classmates, to go shopping to Oxford Street. At 4:30pm we had to met up in front of the National History & Science Museum and finally we visited Harrods and had dinner in a nearby restaurant.
In the last day, we visited St. Paul's Cathedral in the morning and then we went to visit the Tower Bridge and the Borough Market, where we had some lunch. Afterwards we went to the Globe Theatre, Shakespeare's famous theatre, where we had a tour guide through all the sceneries, dressing rooms, etc. Once we were done with the visit, we visited our last thing in London: Tate Modern. I also enjoyed visiting it because it was a different kind of art that the one that I enjoyed but it looked really interesting. 
Unfortunately our time in London was ending and we had to came back to the hostel to take the bus to the airport.
For me It was an amazing trip because I never had been in London before and it turns out that I found a beautiful city to visit again. But the main reason was having a wonderful time with the best friends and classmates.
