For the ones that didn't know that yesterday (25th November) was the day against sexual violence, I will remind it to you. I think that it isn't fair for anyone to suffer from violence from any people of the other sex.
In 1996, the World Health Assembly declared violence a major public health issue. To follow up on this resolution, on Oct 3 this year, WHO released the first World Report on Violence and Health. The report analyses different types of violence including child abuse and neglect, youth violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, elder abuse, self-directed violence, and collective violence. For all these types of violence, the report explores the magnitude of the health and social effects, the risk and protective factors, and the types of prevention efforts that have been initiated. The launch of the report will be followed by a 1-year Global Campaign on Violence Prevention, focusing on implementation of the recommendations. This article summaries some of the main points of the world report.

Barack H. Obama winner of the 2009 Peace Nobel prize
Barack H. Obama
Hello readers, today I have decided to speak about the winner of the Nobel Price for Peace in 2009. His name is Barack H. Obama and I have chosen this person because it is a famous person that I like and I enjoy to write about him.
Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States, and the first African American to hold the office. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004, running unsuccessfully for the United States House of Representatives in 2000.
In 2004, Obama received national attention during his campaign to represent Illinois in the United States Senate with his victory in the March Democratic Party primary, his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July, and his election to the Senate in November. He began his presidential campaign in 2007 and, after a close primary campaign against Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008, he won sufficient delegates in the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination. He then defeated Republican nominee John McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months after his election, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Social networks
Hey my readers, this time, I've decided to speak about some social websites as Tuenti, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram.
Advantages: You can chat with your contacts whenever you want free. You can share images or videos with them.
Disadvantages: People can suffer from cyber-bullying. You can't speak with your friends as when you are speaking face to face.
Youtube is a major website where people can publish videos of anything. It has its advantages but I can't think of any disadvantage.
Advantages: You can search for any kind of video. Obscene scenes containing videos are deleted automatically. Is a way to not being wasting your time.
I suppose that you would enjoy my article about social websites. Bye Bye my dear readers!
Nowadays, mostly all the people in my country (Spain) uses WhatsApp, which is a social website where you can chat with your friends or family if you have their phone number. Facebook is also a very used website and there you can share your moments or photos and your friends can comment your sharings. I think that WhatsApp has its advantages and disadvantages as all the social websites.
Advantages: You can chat with your contacts whenever you want free. You can share images or videos with them.
Disadvantages: People can suffer from cyber-bullying. You can't speak with your friends as when you are speaking face to face.

I also like rappers as Porta, Aloy, Eminem...
I like dubstep artists as Skrillex, Meg & Dia, Krewella... Sometimes I hear house music from: Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hardwell, DJ Tiesto... Beatbox music is incredible and admirable, I would like to learn some beatbox sounds.
Now I will speak about my favourite group Linkin Park. Linkin Park is a group composed by 5 integrants. It was formed in 1996 in Agoura Hills, California, USA. They did lots of songs albums as:
1- Early years (1996–2000)

6- A Thousand Suns (2008–2011)
7- Living Things and Recharged (2011–2013)
8- The Hunting Party (2013–present)
Music Style: Both Hybrid Theory and Meteora combine the alternative metal, nu metal, and rap rock sound with influences and elements from hip hop, alternative rock, and electronica, utilizing programming and synthesizers. William Ruhlmann from AllMusic regarded it as "a Johnny-come-lately to an already overdone musical style," whereas Rolling Stone described their song "Breaking the Habit" as "risky, beautiful art".
In Minutes to Midnight the band experimented with their established sound and drew influences from a wider and more varied range of genres and styles, a process Los Angeles Times compares to a stage in U2's work. In it, only two of the songs feature rapping, and the majority of the album can be considered alternative rock. NME magazine's Dan Silver criticized the band's approach, calling it the "sound of a band trying and failing to forge a new identity", and referring to the song "Hands Held High", a song about terrorist attacks and war, as "far and away the funniest thing you will hear all year".
The vocal interplay between Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda plays as a major part within Linkin Park's music, with Bennington being the lead vocalist and Shinoda as the rapping vocalist. On Linkin Park's third album, Minutes to Midnight, Shinoda sings lead vocals on "In Between", "Hands Held High", and on the B-side "No Roads Left". On numerous songs from band's fourth album, A Thousand Suns, such as the album's four singles ("The Catalyst", "Waiting for the End", "Burning in the Skies", "Iridescent"), both Shinoda and Bennington sing. On most of the record's tracks, the band notably used electronic drumbeats along with outro drumbeats. The album has been regarded as a turning point in the band's musical career by notable critics, some noting it being an electronic rock album. James Montgomery, of MTV, compared the record to Radiohead's Kid A, while Jordy Kasko of Review, Rinse, Repeat likened the album to both Kid A and Pink Floyd's landmark album The Dark Side of the Moon. Shinoda stated that he and the other band members were deeply influenced by Chuck D and Public Enemy. He elaborated: "Public Enemy were very three-dimensional with their records because although they seemed political, there was a whole lot of other stuff going on in there too. It made me think how three-dimensional I wanted our record to be without imitating them of course, and show where we were at creatively". One of the record's political elements is its samples of notable speeches by American political figures.
Their fifth album, Living Things, is also an electronic rock album, but includes influences from their other albums prior to A Thousand Suns, resulting in a harder sound by comparison. The band returns to a heavier sound, compared to their last three albums, on The Hunting Party, being described as an alternative metal and hard rock album.
Curiosities:
-Linkin Park's influences include Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, The Roots and Aphex Twin.
-Linkin Park became the first rock band to achieve more than one billion YouTube hits.
-Linkin Park also became the fifteenth most liked page on Facebook, tenth most liked artist after Lady Gaga and most liked group followed by Black Eyed Peas.

My idols
Welcome again to all my viewers! Today I want to speak about my two idols, which are Marco Reus and Naruto Uzumaki. Now I'm gonna tell you why I admire them so much:
Marco Reus: He is a German football player, he plays as a winger and he is one of the best football players nowadays. I like him a lot because his style of playing is incredible. He can score lots of goals or even assist any partner in his team. I will leave you one photo of him below.
Naruto Uzumaki: He is the main character of a TV serie anime called Naruto. He suffered of bullying from all the city dwellers because he had a monster inside him. He decided to become the strongest ninja to show all the people who he is. He gets in many troubles but he is the perfect example for the fact that you can't leave your dreams go away because of any minimun problem. Here I'll put a picture of him.
