Predatory 'king of gore' dinosaur discovered

A new predator dinosaur has been discovered in southern Utah. These dinosaurs had lived 80 million years ago and they were closely related to Tyrannosaurus rex. the new predator is the largest living land predator of its time.

It grew about 9 meters long and it has been named Lythronax argestes which means "king of gore".

Lythronax had a short and narrow snout, forward slanting eyes and head full of sharp teeth. Also, like T. rex, it was able to look forward because it had binocular vision.

with this new discovery, the experts could uncover what the climate was like towards the end of the age of dinosaurs.

In my view, that discovery highlights once more that the age of discovery is far from over.   I find that interesting news because it shows that there are lots of things which had been living in the past that we don't know their existence.

Are children given too many toys?

Nowadays, children have too many toys and the experts believe children don't need a vast panoply of toys.

Moreover, the traditional toys like dolls and building blocks have retained a consistent popularity because it allows children to use their imagination. However the modern toys offer limited possibilities for fun. And if their toys offer a limited repertoire, this process is eroded."

Also, more toys could actually make them more selfish because children don't have to share them.

I completely agree with that because when children have too many toys, they not even know which they have. So they just play with their favorites ones. Despite, their parents spending a lot of money buying toys for nothing, and also if they give their children everything they want, they become spoilt and they don’t appreciate what they have.

Sweet 17!

Last week it was my birthday and I decided to celebrate it with my friends in two weeks time as soon as we have finished all the exams.  Even though on Saturday night the girls phoned me to watch a film. The truth is that I didn’t want to go because I had lots of homework to do however they convinced me. Finally I went thinking that we would watch a film but when I entered at the room, I saw all my friends there! I didn’t expect to see them. I was moved and I couldn’t say anything, for a long time after my legs were still wobbling and my heart was beating like crazy.

They prepared the dinner and the cake. Furthermore they gave me pictures of all of us since we were little. I just can say that they are incredible people and they make me happy. Love you guys!

The Australian model Jessica Hart was interviewed at a party after the show, and she criticized Taylor Swift's participation in the show. She said that in her opinion Taylor Swift couldn't be a Victoria's Secret Angel because Taylor didn't fit with the rest of the models because of her young age. She said that Taylor was inexperienced for the role.

Although, the Australian model thinks that she's the coolest young girl, she's a great role model, and she loves her music.

I’m not a model and I don’t know the exact qualities which a model would have but in my opinion, Taylor Swift did a great job in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She seemed a real model in the catwalk and she did  an excellent performance.

A face without makeup looks wholesome and shows confidence but to obtain that it is necessary to take care of the skin.

In our culture it is usual or even necessary to makeup before leaving the house.  Although on the spring 2014 runways, the models didn’t wear too much makeup to symbolize confident girls. They pretended to have a smooth face with perfect canvas that has been protected from the sun and hydrated to seem natural and wholesome.

Meanwhile, the skin cares in different countries are not the same, for example in the United States is usually to improve your skin by laser and in Asia they spend far more money on skin care than with makeup.

I have enjoyed reading this article because I realized that there are more people who think like me. I agree in using makeup to improve the image and hide the imperfections but not abuse prettying up.

What climate change means for children in kiribati

The head of UNICEF’s office in the Pacific island nation of Kiribati, Nuzhat Shahzadi, was in the UK recently.

She talked about what the future looks like for the children in Kiribati because of the climate change. Due to climate change, the children who she works with are having a uncertain future because the food sources disappear, water becomes contaminated and disease spreads.

Also she shares how children are getting involved in climate discussions as you can see in the video.

And in the meeting she is urging the UK to stand beside the children of Kiribati to help them.

In my opinion, Shahzadi had a good idea making this video because it transmits exactly the problems that they have and also she is showing the world the situation which these children are in.
