Syria war: Aleppo family of 6 killed in 'chemical attack'

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said reports indicated a married couple and their four children were killed in one of many airstrikes to hit the al-Sakhour neighborhood in Aleppo's besieged east. The group said chlorine gas was used in the bombardment. The Aleppo Media Center (AMC) activist group also reported that the family was killed and posted a photo of the aftermath on Twitter. 

Several major trauma hospitals were knocked out of service during recent attacks, the organization said. 

It is unclear how many children have died in the attacks, but at least four were reported killed in strikes on Wednesday. Activists said there were likely to be more children among the dead. 

MY OPINION: War is always bad news. I'm totally against wars, even more if there is children implicated on it. Kids are supposed to play and learn, they're not supposed to be in the middle of wars. Nobody is supposed to be in.

FAVORITE APP TO EDIT PHOTOS 

There are a lot of apps to edit photos but the are one especifically that I really like. It works really well and it has a lot of filters and options to edit your photos and to make them look stunning. The app is VSCO CAM. It is free but much filters inside de app may cost some euros. This app is my 'go to' app because it gives a very natural and pretty touch on your pics to make them look better tan they are. A lot of users like this app very much as well. 

It is able for iOs and Android. It's one of the most used apps to edit photos all around the world.

Paralyzed monkeys regain control of their legs after brain implants

A new form of brain implant could help people who can't walk regain control of their legs, based on a new study proving its potential in paralyzed monkeys. Researchers at the (EPFL) in Switzerland were able to restore movement in the legs of two paralyzed monkeys within two weeks of them being injured; one regained mobility after just six days.

Paraplegia is often caused by injury in someone's spinal cord or nerves, meaning nerve signals cannot be transmitted between the brain and the rest of the body, such as the legs. The higher the injury, the worse the paralysis. 

MY OPINION: This is a big step on humanity because this experiment could work on humans as it works on monkeys. If people with paraplegia could walk, life would be amazing.

CLOTHES 

Clothes are a very important thing in our lives because we wear it everyday. Life without clothes would be so boring, because you can wear anything you like and anything that makes yourself comfortable. I really like clothing because I think that everything we wear it's because our personality, it is like our personal brand that we want to show people so they can know us a little bit better without have to talk with us. I love nude and camel colors because they are very easy to combine and anyone can wear them. 

The best season to stylize your clothes and your persoanl image it's on winter, because you can wear as much as clothes you want to; scurffs, big jackets or coats, yoga pants, warm sweaters, high socks, boots and warm globes as well. 

USA elections special

USA ELECTIONS SPECIAL

Positive things about Donald Trump's policies: He tries to protect the people of USA and the economy of the state.

Positive things about Hillary Clinton: is the first woman running for president of the USA. She respects any person without considering their nationality. She's working for a better future for their country. 

Negative things about Donald Trump: he's a racist especially with the Latin people. He doesn't know how to argument his words nor bad things he has done. He's a huge sexist and disrespectful with women. He doesn't mind the women rights.

Negative things about Hillary Clinton: She can be a liar sometimes. Because of her, 33.000 e-mails have been deleted. 

My chosen Protest song

Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff

I shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! OhI shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh
Yeah! All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
But I say

[Verse 2]
Oh, now, now. Oh!
(I shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff
(But I swear it was in self-defense.)
Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah
I say: I shot the sheriff - Oh, Lord!
(And they say it is a capital offense.)
Yeah! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!

[Verse 3]
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what, I don't know:
Every time I plant a seed
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill them before they grow
And so

[Verse 4]
Read it in the news
(I shot the sheriff.) Oh, Lord!
(But I swear it was in self-defense.)
Where was the deputy? (Oo-oo-oh)
I say: I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self-defense. (Oo-oh) Yeah!

[Verse 5]
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot - I shot - I shot him down and I say
If I am guilty I will pay

{Verse 6}
(I shot the sheriff,)
But I say (But I didn't shoot no deputy)
I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
(I shot the sheriff.) I did!
But I didn't shoot no deputy. Oh! (Oo-oo-ooh)
Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be:
Every day the bucket a-go a well
One day the bottom a-go drop out
One day the bottom a-go drop out

I say:
I - I - I - I shot the sheriff
Lord, I didn't shot the deputy. Yeah!
I - I (shot the sheriff) -
But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah! No, yeah!

Bob Marley here tells a story from the point of view of a narrator who admits to having killed the local sheriff, and claims to be falsely accused of having killed the deputy, this song defends de rights of black people that are constantly accused by the police just because they're black.
