Bye bye TDR!!

Yessssss!!!! We've finished our TDR, we have our marks and we also have made the english oral presentation about it. After so many months maybe I will miss all the afternoons and night working on it hahaha. I'm very proud of my finally outcome: I've learned a lot, and apart from the losted time we spend on it, seeing it now.. it's like we've becomed our first son:') My mark is a 8. I'm agreed with this, because I think it's a very fear mark: according to the work I've done. Of course I would have a 10 but I also could have worked a little bit more. But it's OK.

The good thing of this is that now we can focus on the rest of the grade and have more time for other exams, works or why not, time for ourselfes: this is what I miss this year, specially this first months of 2nd batxillerat. Last year where more afternoons with friends, with family or sleeping, more parties, more freetime. But NO PAIN NO GAIN so all what we do now will help us to study what we really want: I will entry to University of Gerona and study Primary Education.

Now, my friends and me are waiting to carnival: only 10 days left!! And then, London. This trimester will be very moved!!

Research Paper Abstract

The transition from primary school to highschool

Keywords: transition,educaction, change, primary school, highschool

What is behind the process of information transfer of children from school to highschool? To answer this question I have made a research that goes from learning the protocol used by the teachers from the primary school to which are the tasks of the highschool professors, going throw the emotions and thoughts of the involved kids. My teory is about the academic constructionism model and the steps that teachers and professors have to follow, and the practical part consists in interviewing teachers, professors, the pedagogical coordinator and students of the first grade.

Dialogue in class with Marta

+Hmm... I think I want to have a boob job!

-Are you sure? There are a lot of risks.

+It's a very common OP. I don't think it's dangerous at all!

-Yes, but sometimes the silicon is too cheap and it can be broken... you know.

+Don't be a killjoy! It will make me feel more confident.

-Are you sure it's only this? I think this is not for you.

+Well... maybe I will have a nose job too.

-This is too much for you. You are beautiful as you are and there is nothing that make up can't fix.

+Well... I will think about it.

-In case you do it, just make sure the hospital is serious, will you?

+I already have an appointment.

-I hope you change your mind. You must accept who you are and live with it. Let's watch some make-up tutorials, shall we?

+Erm... I willl do it anyways.

Twitter warns of Government hacking

For the first time in all this years, Twitter has sent warnings to some users that their accounts may have been hacked by "state-sponsored actors". The email Twitter sented inform the users the hackers may have sought their email, IP or phone number.

A Canadian non-profit organization called Coldhak posted this photo of the email they recived:

Some IT experts think these are the same hackers who breached Sony's computer network last year and leaked huge amounts of confidential accounts, hackers that were backed by the North Korean state. Pyongyand denied this.

A cybersecurity expert at the Center of Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC called James Lewis the hackers of this attack may be able to use other measures shuch as human agents or communications intercepts to successfully bypass any security measures, so they have far greater resources than criminal hacker groups.

NEW WORDS:

*sought

*breached

*bypass

PERSONAL COMMENT:

I think it's very good that Twitter have sented the warnings in spite of that we are speaking about Government hackers so the users can know what happened. For me, the Government is playing very dirty with this, because we they snatch us every time more privacy and they mustn't have control over our PRIVATE accounts if we aren't involved in any crime.

Ukraine's police say 'goodbye' to Russian social networks

Ukraine is in the process of replacing its corrupt and brutal police with new, modern and approcheable cops who became an hit on social media. They look young, friendly, good-looking and likeable and taking selfies, what became a craze.

But the government of Ukraine is demanding a few new officers: on Wednesday, the Interior Ministry has announced the sackment of gour police officers and the investigation of other five for support pro-Russian separatists on social media posts: "They contradict the moral and ethical qualities of a Ukrainan police officer"

"There is no room in state service for those who disrespect their own country" said Anton Herashchenko, an Interior Ministry adviser, after the outing of one policeman because of the critic of the mass rallies.

In Ukraine, VK or OK are much more popular than Facebook and Twitter.

I think the officers must have enough liberty to post in their personal accounts what they want, but make it private.

'Li-fi 100 times faster than wi-fi'

A new method of delivering data called Li-fi is can deliver internet access 100 times faster than Wi-fi, offering up to 1Gbps requiring a light source, as LED, internet connection and a photo detector.

Velmenni's invention has been tested in the laboratory and have shown theoretical speeds of up 224Gpbs.
A big advantatge of li-fi is that it does not interfere with other radio signals so it could be utilised on aircraft and other places. It can't also run out any time soon because the visible light spectrum is 10,000 times larger than radio waves. The problem is that it cannot be deployed outdoors in direct sunlight.

So, li-fi can be used in limited places to supplement wi-fi networks, as in urban areas or places where wi-fi is not so safe.

NEW WORDS:

Aircraft

Deployed

Broadband

PERSONAL COMMENT:
I think it's a very good invention to improve global technology, but it would be better if we can used it outdoors too.
