Justin Bieber fan may sue the star for punching him in the face

Last Tuesday ( 22th of November) Justin Bieber, one of the singers of the moment came to Barcelona to do a concert. He arrived two days before the concert. During his visit he to take advantage of visit the best football club of the world: FCB ( Barça). He trained with them and took photos with his friends Neymar and Rafinha, also with Messi and another players. The other day he walked by Barcelona.

The day of the concert arrived, all fans were crazy for see their idol. Also there are a lot of fans that were wait until three months to stay in first line. But the night started bad for one fan.
A video emerged on 22 November which appeared to show Justin punch Kevin in the face after he leaned into his car ahead of a gig in Barcelona. Kevin says he just wanted to "touch his shoulder and face" but was left bleeding from the mouth as the passenger lashed out. After all Kevin has suggested he will sue the star over the incident. 

Kevin, during last days, appeared in a lot of radio and TV programs, explaining his bad experience. He explained that after the accident, he didn't go to the concert, he vas really disappointed.

Personal opinion:

In my opinion Kevin should not have done what he had done because if we were famous, we also were stressed for all fans that would took you, take pictures of you, etc. All these things together make you explode and react. Thats what happened, Justin was stressed and reacted like this. But poor Kevin. he was very disappointed with his idol.

Vocabulary:

Singer: cantant.
Punch: cop de puny.
Sue: denunciar.

Facebook bug 'kills' users in 'terrible error'

An unusual bug on Facebook briefly labelled many people as dead. The error occurred on Friday, when the social network  showed a memorial banner on user profiles for people who were still alive.
So when you visit a friend or familiar profile you saw a memorial banner anouncing that this person is dead. Users posted status to anounce thas their friends and family were not dead, despite Facebook's message. Including Mark Zuckerberg was dead according Facebook.
After all of this problems, a Facebook spokesperson said sorry for the bug and that they will fix it.
The memorial feature was introduced by Facebook in 2015 because of a number of high-profile cases where family wanted to access the social accounts of deceased loved ones. When somebody dies his family could choose if the account will be deleted or will turn into a memorial page where friends can send support messages.

Personal opinion

In my opinion this is a crazy bug becouse if you are visiting a friend or family profile and you see that this person is dead you're going to scare. But for another part is cool because a lot of people takes it with humour and said things like this: " So glad the Facebook hoax was wrong and I'm not dead".

Vocabulary

Banner: cartell.
Hoax: broma.
Labelled: etiquetar.

Vine Is Closing Down, and the Internet Can’t Stand It

Vine is a six-second video app owned by Twitter. The app spawned some stars like Logan Paul, King Bach, Alissa Violet, etc. Also improved upon the best thing about Twitter funny tweets by adding audio and visual snippets. Some of it was total nonsense, and that’s why it was so great.

Resultat d'imatges de vineBut Twitter said that nowadays this app doesn't give profit, people don't use it becouse in Instagram you also can post videos. This popular social network have more audience that Vine and this is the reason of his close. All Vine stars leave this app for post in Instagram.
Vine said in a medium post  that it would close down in the coming months.

People are scared because there are a lot of good and funny videos inthis social network and if it disappear the videos will disappear with it. But that's what people thought because Vine said that it would figure out ways for users to keep and store their favorite pieces of six-second art.

Personal opinion:

In my opinion is so sad that a social network that was on the top is going to disappear. I remember moments that I was watching Vine videos with my friends and we laughted a lot, that were a very good moments. But now all this videos are going to Instagram so for me there's no problem because I use it everyday.

Social Networks

Social networks had change our lives. They did changed the way we communicate, the way of doing things, etc. Nowadays people usually use social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter...
Internet is another world, there you can be a person absolutely different from real life. There you can post pictures, send messages to friends that you not usually see, post opinions of a concretly theme, etc, and a lot of things more. 

Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, this social network did improve a lot, there you can add friends simply searching his name in the browser, you can post pictures and also people can react to your picture giving you a like or leaving a comment. In Facebook you can meet a lot of people but this can be dangerous if you don't take care. There are a lot of people what commit crime through Facebook.
In my opinion, Facebook had been a good social network in the past because I used to be all time connected on it, also it was the first social network I'd have. Currently I use another social network named Instagram.

Resultat d'imatges de social networkNow, Instagram is one of the most popular social network. It was created by Kevin Systrom in 2010. It changed a lot, there you can post pictures and videos. In Instagram, you can tag people in a picture, also you can give like and comment if you like a photo like Facebook. The thing what makes popular Instagram was the hashtags. In Instagram you can follow people that you want to see his pictures.

Finally another sovial network that is increasing a lot is Snapchat. This social network is only avalible for smartphones. It consist in post photos and videos that people only could see it during one day. When a day passed, the picture or video is automatically deleted.

This are only an example of social network, there are a lot but I wanted to explain a little bit these. I know that my explanation is so short but if I wold explain it well I could make another Treball de Recerca!

This is not the first time what an image or film appears a creature what seems like the Bigfoot. This is an old legend what nowadays still remains a mystery, who knows if in the future we found the bigfoot.

Resultat d'imatges de summer tumblr

Starting July everything changed, all of we started to work and nobody could do things what we did during June.
We only went to Empuriabrava to the beach and no more. I started to get bored to do the same thing everyday. Apart from that we did cool things like go camping in l'Escala, spend a day in Cadaquès, play football, met new people, go to parties like Mediterranea, etc.
Besides I bought a new moto, a Rieju MRX. 

I have a very good memories about this summer, I already miss it! But now we have to study and finish Batxillerat to enjoy next summer and live new experiences.
