This is what the seesaw represents.

More than 12.000 kids died or suffered mutilations during 2018 due to war effects. According to the Annual report of the United Nations General Organization for Children and Armed Conflicts published on Tuesday more than 24.000 children had their rights violated while other 12.000 where killed or mutilated, mostly by crossfire explosives or battle. This numbers are causing a lot of preoccupation in the organization after they noticed it is the highest number in history. Also other 7000 kids were involuntarily recruited for war during this same year around the world, mostly in Africa. I think that all this conflicts are a shame but is way worse that children that don’t have anything to do with this and that can’t defend themselves are suffering because of the action of others. What do you think?

Increasingly intense heatwaves are linked to manmade climate change, the WMO added.

Marco and Esteban won by partial of 21-19, 22-24 and 15-10, thus awarding the highest prize without losing any game and completing six celebrations online. In the first manga, the Grimalt cousins ​​imposed themselves solidly, while in the second chapter the Aztecs began to defend better and there was a dramatic outcome. The Chileans had championship points that they failed to achieve and everything was defined in a third set. In the tiebreaker, they were again impeccable and did not let their chance escape.

The Grimalt cousins ​​reached the final, but the relatives wanted to achieve maximum glory.  And they did it.  Marco and Esteban fought a fierce Mexican duo, composed of Juan Virgen and Rodolfo Ontiveros, who left them with the gold medal after beating the Mexicans after two sets and the tiebreaker, by partials of 21-19, 22-24  and 15 -10, in a duel that was fought until the last ball.  The first gold medal in the history of national beach volleyball in a Panamerican

He had trouble sleeping, put cameras and discovered that his cat "tried to kill him"  It seems that some even try at least, that ensures a Twitter user. The young man said he had trouble breathing while sleeping, so he decided to install a camera to see what happened during the night. What he discovered was a scene both adorable and sinister: his cat sleeping on his face and preventing him from breathing. In some images it even seems that he tries to hang him with his fluffy legs.  In the snapshots, taken in black and white, the cat can be seen approaching its face, staring at it and then sitting on its face, blocking its nose and mouth. Twitter users responded quickly, especially other cat owners. Some shared similar stories of their own cats.

Now, after a break of almost two decades, Donald Trump has put the federal government back in the execution business. . Attorney general William Barr announced on Thursday that the department of justice had scheduled executions for five federal inmates convicted of murders and sex crimes. “We owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system,” Barr said in a statement, saying more executions would be announced. I’m certain that this topic generates great controversy. What do you think about it?

A Facebook event called "Storm Area 51, They Can´t Stop All Of Us" invites people to meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction (which is a gas station) on September 20 and coordinate their entry to Area 51. The goal is to break into the military compound in search of aliens, which, according to science fiction movies and TV series, are supposed to be there. This post became viral and 1.3 million people have signed on to attend so far. But the US military responded, and they don´t seem to like the event at all. The US Air Force told the Washington Post that “Area 51 is an open training range for the US Air Force, and we would discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces. The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets.” Do you think this went too far? How many people do you think are going to show up?

The Spektr-RG telescope was launched yesterday, July 13th, in Russia. It uses X-rays to map the entire sky with a lot of detail. Researchers say this will help them to understand the structure of the universe. The hope is Spektr-RG can provide fresh insights on the accelerating behaviour of cosmic expansion. And it should also recieve X-rays from the black holes that reside in our galaxy. But before it can begin working, it will take many weeks before it reaches its observing position which is 1.5 million km from earth.

Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon grew more than 88% in June and puts organizations on alert. Several ONG's related to environmental protection that this problem is directly related with President Jair Bolsonaro and his way of doing politics encouraging ilegal logging and strengthening the idea of impunity among the ones who commit it. The ilegally deforested area in the Brazilian Amazon grew 88.4% in June vs the same month the year before. It's the first time that deforestation has grown for two months in a row since the arrival of President Jair Bolsonaro, who has been favorable to a relaxation of environmental regulations in the country. In my opinion this needs to stop right now because the Brazilian Amazon is one of the most important ecosystems in the world and hosts a variety of animals and plants. Also it is one of the most important oxygen producers in the planet, so it is not just for animals but for the greater good of the whole planet.
