Moons

News ( Pluto)

Summary:

This news talk about the moons of Pluto and they inform that  they managed an image of Kerberos, one of the two tiny moons of Pluto, has finally been returned by the US space agency's New Horizons probe.
It shows the object to have two lobes, which may be the consequence of icy bodies bumping into each other and joining up.
Kerberos's larger lobe is judged to be about 8km across. The smaller lobe is roughly 5km in diameter.


Opinion: 

Thanks National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA)  is a US organization which is responsible  of space, space programs , ships, planes ... everything you need to know our planet and the universe around us .

We have discovered some of the great secrets of this wonderful world we have and small part of the other galaxies through aronautic ships , is not ugly like others say, is an advanced way to discover the world of physics.

As we have seen before, NASA was able to find another star that belongs to Pluto that is a planet that is millions of millions of kilometers of the Earth.


Lakes expanding 'dangerously' in Everest glacier

A superglacial pond in Khumbu glacier





News ( Lakes)

Summary:

The accelerated meltdown of glaciers in the region is causing concern against a backdrop of rising global temperatures.
Scientists say the warning is the first of its kind for Khumbu, although other glaciers in the Himalayas have seen an increase in the number of lakes formed.

Dr Rowan's team has been studying the behaviour of debris-covered glaciers and they said:
"At present, the glacier appears to be disintegrating, and may form a few large and potentially hazardous lakes on the glacier surface." 
"The worrisome thing is that if the process continues, then there will be a new glacial lake to worry about in a populated and heavily used valley," he said.

Opinion:

I was thinking about that and I arrive  in to conclusions:

Normal Conditions:

The Earth is surrounded by a layer of invisible gases called the atmosphere or air. These gases are utilized by animals and plants. Moreover, the atmosphere retains the warmth of the sun , but it prevents us from harmful radiation reaches its rays . The atmosphere even has a role in the fact that rivers and oceans are full of water: the air contains water vapor falls as rain or snow , and that contributes water to rivers and oceans ; of the water of the seas and rivers evaporates and returns to the air , thus establishing a continuous recycling . All living things depend on the air.

Bad conditions:

Pollution adds certain gases in the atmosphere and decomposes others. This does change the fragile balance of the air. Gases such as carbon monoxide, harmful to human health if we breathe large quantities. Other gases are not harmful to human beings , but instead alter the balance of the environment . Air pollution can lead to climate change and the loss of the protective gas atmosphere provide the planet.

If we alter the ratio of gases in the atmosphere , threatening life on Earth .

In short, we can see that the bad conditions have made that the Glaciar of  this place can be dangerous for anyone who lives there.

The milk




News ( Lactasa)

Summary:

 Dr Llamas and colleagues found Europeans descended from three groups: Stone-Age hunter-gatherers, farmers that migrated from Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), and nomadic herders that migrated west from the Great Steppe in Russia.

For this study, the researchers analysed patterns in the genomes of these groups to look at how human traits had changed since the advent of agriculture in Europe around 8,500 years ago.

One of the most surprising findings related to the emergence of the genetic mutation that enables humans to drink raw milk.

This mutation enables the enzyme lactase, which digests lactose in milk, to remain active long after weaning occurs.

This enzime allows to break the link between glucose and galactose to get energy.

Opinion:

Lactase is an enzyme produced in the small intestine and which is synthesized during childhood of all mammals . Its action is essential in the process of converting lactose double sugar ( disaccharide ) , its components glucose and galactose . Lactase is produced in the brush border of the cells lining the intestinal villi .

It belongs to the family of disaccharidases , which are enzymes that are responsible for breaking disaccharides into monosaccharides that form . The lack of lactase originated lactose intolerance , which is a relatively common , especially in elderly anomaly.

I think that we need to drink milk when we are samll and when we grow up we need to leave it.

La Liga


Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar - Goal 50 proves La Liga is the best league in the world

News( La Liga)

Summary:

This news talks about La Liga in which the Spanish league football .
Informs us that this is the best league in the world because there are some of the best teams which tene the best soccer players in the world.
Some of these teams could be FC Barcelona where we can find players like Lionel Messi or Neymar Junior Luis Suarez .

Recently has played the classic ( FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid) and Barca won four zero real madrid, player Lionel Messi has returned  because he was broken the foot, millions of people have seen this match and have lived their emotion.

Selena Gomez



Summary:

Singer Selena Gomez would be open to a relationship with an older man.

The 23-year-old, who previously dated Justin Bieber, 21, admits she would like to experience a romance with a more mature man in a new interview, but she worries her youthful looks would hamper her love plans.
Well she is bigger than he , already has 23 years, but she says that she want to have a relationship with him.
Opinion:
I think selena gomez can have a relationship with anyone who wants it, nobody can prevent that Selena Gomez has a ralation with another person that she loves, this is his life and not the life of the others.
All says that love has no age ,and that anyone can maintain a relation with a person who want .
Now it has opened a polemic on that Selena Gomez is in love with a boy who have 21 when she have 23 years.
In short, nobody has the right to discriminate against anyone who fall in love especially the girls .
