Chloe Campbell is missing

Chloe Campbell, a three year-old Australian girl has been reported missing from her home Thursday at
7am, when her parents woke up and didn't find her. 

Chloe's parents put her to bed and they went to sleep hours later, but when they woke up Chloe was missing and so were her blanket and teddy bear, and in addition the window was opened. 

This little girl is blonde, with fair shoulder-lenght hair and she is 100cm tall, with some similuties to Madeleine McCann. Madeleine was also three years-old when she dissapeared and looked similar to Chloe. 
Also, this case has reminded locals of the disappearance of a four years-old girl and her father in January, but their bodies were found 17 days later.

I can perfectly remember when Madeleine went missing. All of my friends and I were talking about this like all the time. 

I've always been scared about these things. I always have faith until the very last minute when the bodies are unfortunately found or until like in Marta del Castillo's case, where the murder confirmed he killed her even if he doesn't seem to reveal where the body is. I always take a second to remember one case where the girl was kidnapped for 10 years but she finally escaped, or that case where three girls -or already women- with one of the girl's daughter escaped from a man who had kidnapped them as well. I think there's people with psychologic problems that don't kill people but just kidnap them and it is luck that one day the kidnappers are not concentrating, and the victim can escape.

Big Bird

Some months ago there was a big storm hit in Tanzania where a little pelican was abandoned by his flock. 

This pelican called Big Bird couldn't even feed himself when he was found. When this happened, the staff at Greystoke Mahale Park decided to teach him how to fly, and so he did. He would always run up and down flapping his arms and simulating a flight for him. He says Big Bird would look curiously how he did that until the day he did it by himself. In addition him and park workers teached him life skills to be able to survive.

While he was learning, his staff put him a small GoPro camera in his beak so the animal could record by himself his first flight, and so he did. 




When things like storms happen, it's normal that sad thing like this happen. This pelican was very lucky to be found by these men who decided to take care of him and teach him how to fly because he succeeded. In my opinion it's incredible how a human being shows a bird how to fly, when we don't even know how to fly because basically we can't fly. If I think about it then I arrive to the conclusion that we do teach dogs and horses... So maybe teaching a bird is not that weird, but I honestly think it's amazing what these people did with Big Bird.

Super mum

Jane Plume is a single woman with three children who is taking care of her best friend's children after
her husband and her died. 

Jane and Gina met 14 years ago when they worked together and became best friens. They would always hang out and do different activities, even though it was only be relaxing. 



One day, Gina's husband was diagnosed with cancer and knew he was going to die soon, but unexpectidly, one day Gina had an accident and died. It wasn't an easy time for Jane but she and her friend's husband decided to stick together. But they both knew he was going to die, so Jane promised him that when that happened she would raise their children and he was very thankful.

When he died Jane had to work very hard but she says she doesn't regret anything because she loved her friend as a sister. 

I personally admire this woman because she had toi put in so much effort to keep going with 5 children even though they are not very little. I would definitely do something like this for my best friend but I think I should have to work so hard for it. I hope I don't ever have to do it but if I have, I will do it without even thinking about it. As Jane says in the article, family are those people you chose and to my best friend I would do anything because I know she will always be there for me if I need it.

Awful reaction to Zantac


Medicines and drugs are in our daily life and most of us use them without thinking of how many consequences can they have. 

Leanne Howes, a 17 year old girl took 150 mg dose of Zantac Ranitidine to treat her IBS (Irritable bowel syndrom, a sympthom based diagnosis characterized by chronic abdomina kpain, discomfort, bloating and aternation of bowel habits) and suffered an allergic reaction. This left her skin falling off in chunks; it burnt up, scabbed over and finally fell off.

Lianne had her first symptom when she fell ill. She was at work and didn't feel well so she bought some tablets, which didn't do anything wrong during that day until the next morning. Then she was rushed to the hospital and there she fought hard for her life. Doctors said that it was a miracle and she got treated in the same way as burns victims.
She spent four weeks on a morphine drip in hospital and couldn't walk or talk properly. Her hair, nails, eyelashes fell out and she lost a lot of weight. 

While she was recovering she had her mother and boyfriend by her side and he would always tell her she was beautiful even though she had lost hair, nails and everything. 

Not everyone who suffers this survive and that is way Leanne feels so lucky to be alive. But now she is very scared of taking more medicines.


Here you can see from the photos the effects of her awful reaction:

10 years kidnaped

Gina DeJesús
Approximatelly a week ago I was watching the news and I saw an horrorous notice but with a happy end. It had place in Cleveland, United States, where three girls that have been dissapeared for more than six years have escaped from the house where they were. 

Each disappearance happened in different years, but all of them were abducted between 2002 and 2004. The girls were 20, 17 and 14, and now they are 32, 27 and 23. 

The alleged creator of this facts is a men with spanish surnames (probably from South America) called Ariel Castro, who I'm pretty sure will go to the prison because he has charges. 
Also his two brothers have been questioned and will have charges, but I think no one of them will go to the prison, although both of them colaborated and knew about the girls and what his brother was doing.

The girls were in different rooms, so they were separated. They've said they knew other girls were there but they didn't know each other. 
Amanda Berry

One of the girls, Amanda Berry,  had a baby who is now six years old. In addiction, some neightbours have affirmed they saw several times the girls in the garden with a leash and naked, something that probably was because they were pregnant and so the girls could lose the baby. Also the captors would beat the women when they were pregnant for the same reason to kill the baby. At least five babies were born at the house and one of the girls had as many as three miscarriages because she was malnourished.
Once, the neighbours called the police and expalined when they have
been seeing, and when the police went to the house and knock on the door, no one opened. So they just went away.
It was 6th may when one of the girls, exactly the girl with a daughter, was at the other side of the door and started making blows in the door and screaming, asking for help. In that moment, two neightbours that were near heard the girl and went to the house and opened the door. They helped the girl and the little girl escape from that house and they called the police, who wasn't very comprensive and ignored the girl's words saying she was one of the disappeared girls and that she has been seen on TV lots of times because of that. And finally they listened her and the police went there. Then, they entered inside the house and they helped the other girls. Also they took evidences to discover more things.







One of the things they discovered was that the daughter of one of the girls used to go with the brothers to their grandmother's house, and this is something I don't understand because I saw her in the TV saying she was sorry of that and that she didn't know about it. But I wonder myself who did she think the girl was? Anyway, who knows who say the truth. 
Michelle Knight


The first kidnaped girl said that when she arrived at the house, there was another girl in another room for a while but after she disappeared. And the truth is that while the years Castro used to kidnap the girls, another girl from the same zone disappeared. So maybe she hasn't got a nice end and she was killed, or maybe she killed herself, who knows.


Now, the girls have just started a long and difficult progress to adapt themselves to the normal life, even one of the girls I think has more psychological problems.


I am really sorry for them but at the same time happy. There's a big number of childs and teenagers that have been kidnaped and never been rescued. This is something very sad I will never understand. 





Here is Charles Ramsey, one of the neightbours that helped Amanda Berry, explaining how did it happen. 
One of the things he say is "I knew something was wrong when a little white girl run to a black man's arms" and he affirms that he thought "Something is wrong here".

In prison for two years

Last night before going to sleep I saw the newspaper on the table and I decided to read it. While I was reading the titles, I saw one that said two people will be in the prison for two days because they lived in a hotel without paying. Reading this, I was really interested to know what was that so I decided to read the whole notice. And I found it a bit funny. Maybe it's not, but the way that those persons acted surprised me. I really can't believe there's people in the world without shame.



Mas Salvi
The notice is about Monika Hurka and Hans Warner Stachowiak. It seems like on march 2009 they went to talk with the director of the hotel because they made like they were interested to buy the luxury hotel called Mas Salvi. It was on sale because of economic problems but the truth is that supposedly buyers didn't have money nor. 
They said their intention was to buy the hotel and to build there a music recording studio and on april 2009 they signed a document where they said they would pay 8,2 million for the hotel. For this, they asked the sellers to stay at the hotel for a while, and they stayed there since march 31th 2009 to july 28th 2010, approximately 359 days with 63.180 euros in the bill.
When they told the director they wouldn't buy the hotel, the director said they had to pay everything they have took and eaten, but they said they wouldn't. So last march 11th there was the trial because of that, and according the newspaper say, the judge, Fàtima Ramírez has imposed them a fine of six euros everyday and two years in the prison. And they are a bit lucky because the fiscal wanted to put on them three years of prison for each one. 


I'm pretty sure this is not exactly the notice but I generalized a bit. 
I laughed so hard the first time I heard the notice because the person who told me that was laughing so hard too. We couldn't believe there's people without shame, I would be really really really embarrassed doing that! And more if after all the time I'd say I wouldn't pay! It's unbelivable.
I know this is not something for laugh, because imagine if it happens to you... it's not going to be fun. But I am not laughing of the situation because it's so expensive 359 days having breakfast, lunch, dinner..., using the instalations and more and it's not something funny. I just found funny what they did and their reaction when they knew they have to pay. 


I hope never happens to me something like this!!!

Maverick Viñales suffers an amputation

Approximately, last 20th March Maverick Viñales, a Gran Prix motorcyle racer who was born in Figueres, had an accident that caused the amputation of the distal phalanx of the right ring finger. 


Maverick was training while the accident happened. He fell in a curve and there his hand was trapped under the motorcyle and in one of his fingers the nail fell. 

At the time, he was taken to the circuit's hospital and then he went to Barcelona where he was operated.

During all the day he was posting photos and saying he was good, so all of us were fine to see he was all right.
