Go on a Trip With Kazkabarra!

Hello readers!

This time I have done the work in Google Drive. The aim was to create a form asking questions about any topic we wanted. I chose this topic because I remember that when I was a child I went on a trip with Kazkabarra and I had a great time.

I hope you like the questionnaire!

Captioning Videos

Hello readers!

This time we've learnt how to subtitle a video into different languages by using Dotsub.
Dotsub is a webpage which makes you able to caption videos in many different languages, in this case, I've subtitled the video of a song into three languages, which are English, Spanish and Basque. By the way, the song I have chosen is called With Me, written by Sum 41.
Sum 41 is a Canadian punk-rock band formed in 1996 and currently consisted by the members Derick Whibley, Tom Thacker and Jason McCaslin. The Drummer (Steve Jocz) left the band in July. They've been invited to go on tour with Heavy Metal legends such as Mötley Crüe; they also have been labeled as one of the world's best live bands.
I chose this song because it talks about losing someone, and as I have lost many people that were important to me during my whole life, I indentify myself with it. I think that this song can have a great influence in people so they can carry on after something like this happens to them.
Here I leave you the video, I hope you like it as much as I do!

My Music Store.

Hello Readers!

I know I haven't posted anything for a long time, but here I come with a new work I have done!
This time, we had to create a false shop in Google Sites, which has been a great experience. We've learnt how to manage a website by creating one, and I think that this can be useful for a future; who knows what we are going to do into 20 years...?
By the way, if you want to visit my music store, here I leave you the links for the English version and for the one in Euskera.
I hope you find my work enjoyable. See you soon!

Mind42.

Hello dear readers!

Today I'm coming with a new work in which we have been working on. The work consisted in creating a mind map about the topic we wanted to write about. For that, we had to sign up on a website called Mind42, the website which allows you to create mind maps. Firstly, we had to choose the topic we had to write about, and mine was obviously music; types, when they were born, where, bands and singers... and all that stuff. Secondly, we started creating the map in Mind42. And in the last place, we had to publish it in our blog, so, here is my work!
I hope you will like my mind map. See you soon!

Nobel prize.

Hello readers!

These days we have been working on people who have been awarded with Nobel Prizes since 1995 in different categories, for example: physics, medicine, literature...
Robert G. Edwards

I have chosen the one who was awarded with the medicine Nobel Prize in 2010. His name was Robert Geoffrey Edwards and he was awarded for the development of in vitro fertilization. He was born on the 27th of September in 1925 and he died on the 10th of April in 2013. This man had studied in the university of Wales and later in the university of Edinburgh before he got a degree in biology. He began to study human fertilization in 1960, and in 1968, he became able to fertilize a human ovule in the laboratory for the first time.

I have chosen this one because I think that in vitro fertilization has been a great advance in human history because it allows women to get pregnant when they can't do it by themselves by the natural way, and in my opinion, this man deserved to be awarded with a Nobel Prize. Some years ago there was a case similar to this that happened to a relative of mine. She tried many times to get pregnant but she couldn't, so, after several months of failed attempts she turned to in vitro fertilization and a short time later she got pregnant. So, thanks to this, many children were and will be born.
Here you have a video about Edwards and the development of in vitro fertilization.
See you soon!

Say NO to violence against women

Hello readers!

As we all know, yesterday, 25th November was the international day in which we say NO to violence against women. Violence against women is a consequence of discrimination against women, in law and also in practise, and of persisting inequalities between men and women. There are three different ways of mistreating people: psychologically, physically and sexually.

The 31 % of women have experienced one or more acts of physical violence since the age of 15. While women are most likely to indicate that they were pushed or shoved, excluding this form of violence has only a limited effect on the overall prevalence of physical violence, bringing it down from 31 % to 25 %.

These are some of the characteristics of sexual violence:

• In total, 11 % of women have experienced some form of sexual violence since they were 15 years old,
either by a partner or some other person.
• One in 20 women (5 %) has been raped since the age of 15.
• Of those women who indicate they have been victims of sexual violence by a non-partner, almost one
in 10 women indicates that more than one perpetrator was involved in the incident when describing the
details of the most serious incident of sexual violence they have experienced.

And these are some of the details of intimate partner violence:

• One third of victims (34 %) of physical violence by a previous partner experienced four or more
different forms of physical violence.
• The most common forms of physical violence involve pushing or shoving, slapping or grabbing, or
pulling a woman’s hair.

As a conclusion, we can say that many women are mistreated all over the world. This article has been written by my classmate Ainhoa and I, and we think that we all must do something to stop this. The information which we added have been chosen from an official web page. If you are interested in reading more, click here.

Football Quiz

Hi readers!

Today my classmate Ainhoa and I have created a quiz about football!
Firstly, we started writing the questions about it in Google drive, and when we finished, we started developing it in an application called Hot Potatoes in which you can create a quiz or more things.
We decided to create a quiz about this because football is an interesting topic for us and we know some things about it.
Finally, get here if you're clever enough to answer to these questions. And also if you want to learn about this wonderful topic!
See you!
