ELECTRY CARS

Now a days electric cars are becoming more popular. Only the important car companies make electric cars and the new generations that are beginning.

One of most beautiful and economical is BMW and Renault, well, they aren't economical between 30000-40000 euros but after the electricity is free.

The electric cars only work in the cities because there are a lot of people and the pollution is high, so in the village there aren't any chargers for the batteries and on the other hand citis there are.

The BMW I3 have 170cv and reaches a 100 km in 7s. Also can travel 150 km without recharging and the maximum load that evenings it is 8 hours (depends on electricity).

I think that now all cities and village shut us the electry cars, for the future, is expensive but in the long run it's compensates.

NEW

The other news is an issue what happens around the world, but in this case it is about Peru. 

A group of people selling animals in catalogues and on public roads, in terrible conditions, have been arrested and inside the house found 100 animals and 40 of them are puppies.

When I said before that happens around the world, I meant that abandoning and mistreating animals is frequent.

I believe in reincarnation and I have always thought that we will become aminals, you like to have a miserable life and suffering. Therefore, if you do not look capable of caring for a pet directly don't buy a pet.

I just want to say that the animals never will hurt, you either.

NEW

Summary:

This news is about a luxury yacht that a man of Monaco was requested at the Alan Factory. The boss of Alan, Ozcan, with the help of Foster + Partners (study of architecture) have been launched.

Ozcan confirmed he had never seen an exterior and interior design as sleek and original as this.

Foster, has used bleached oak, white leather, stainless steel and white onyx for to interior, and the exterior Foster has developed a flexible interior “pod” that can be configured in up to three cabins. Also the yacht have two kitchens. For Ozcan is a floating house.

To conclude, the cruise speed is 41 knots and the maximum speed is the 45knots, and the Alan 68 costs about $3.7million.

Opinión:

I've always said that those who can live luxuriously take advantage so maybe in the future have nothing.

I like the yacht, but more on interior. The price is very expensive, but it is luxury and  runs too much. If I had the money I would buy it.

This news explains that the marijuana would be legalized last year, although already used for medicine in California. He also notes that The Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) proposes several initiatives such as:

-Privileges for medical marijuana patients remain largely intact
-Establishes a series of license types for small-, medium- and large-scale cultivation
-Designates oversight by the Department of Consumer Affairs, Department of Public Health and      Department of Food and Agriculture

He also comments that the 2018 price increase and many people are against. AUMA so they could make a bank deposit the money in exchange for marijuana.

On the one hand I agree, because there will be so many traffickers, but some of the decisions AUMA not seem correct, for example the taxes.

BARCELONA EXCURSION

Next Friday 13th of May I'm going to Barcelona to do a Spanish activity.

The activity consits in doing 6-7 videos explaining adventures that happened in the book that we read.

First of all my group, Christian, Marc and me, had to do a leaflet where there was a Little summary with information of the video.

On Friday we get on the bus at eight o'clock and we arrived at half past ten.

At the first place, had to join another group, because, first we had to listent to their stories, and then they had to listen to ours.

Finally, we went to eat in MC'Donals, because we didn't have time, the bus left at 3:45 and we ordered the hamburgers at 3:30.

To sum up we had walk 11 km, we didn't have time to buy anithing and we were exhausted, but we finisheded the work.

If I like what I think so I buy a littel house and I live same that a hippie, without thinking tomorrow.
The Price is 1.300 USD but includes accomodation, meals, equipment, visa, unlimited diving and retail and Equipment Purchase Discounts.

MY NEW TOY

My new toy is an adorable cuddly toy. It is a pink little piggy. It has wearing a blue overall and a yellow minions cap. Its eyes are dark and its mouth is red. It is a present of my girlfriend. She gave me Friday 5th of May at night when we are at Figueres festival. I don't think that she buy a present for me. Nowadays, it is a very important thing for me because, every time I see it I remember the moment that she brings me this cuddly toy.

Gasoline engine

Opinion:



Electric engine

I am happy for to know that there are electric car racing, is an improvement for our future, but I'm not so excited that a robot drive the car. I like the automobile and prefer to hear and smell one gasoline engine before that one electric. Another difference is the speed and  I adore the speed, I can not change the speed because I carry with me.

HOW TO BUILD A WORKING MODEL OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Jason Alleman has created a model of the world where includes the earth, the sun and the moon. The most impressive is that it has made with legos because he is fanatic. The land the sun and the moon, make movements similar to real life's why is so important this job of Jason.

 

Opinion: I'm sure it will be done more of these models.
Jason has done a good job and I think we should take it to school because perhaps is an easy way to explain the kids, because they can see and touch.
