Little Foot skeleton in South Africa

One of the oldest and most complete skeletons of humankind's ancestors have been unveiled in Shout Africa. It take more than 20 years to excavate, clean and put together the skeleton. It's 3.67 million years old, half a million younger than Lucy. Probably was a little Australopithecus who felt down on a cave and die. The bones are extremely soft because of them age and were fragile, because of that were needed small tools and a lot of years to discover that. That research have confirmed that our ancestors scattered across Africa until reach Europe. 
In my opinion it's a good notice because we can discover more about our origins, and more important about our present. We can see how we have changed and how it have affect our life.

Your-say

Hi, today I will talk about video games. Well, I will talk about one video game, it's name is Duck Game and it is about ducks. This is a videogame without a good history, neither have good graphics, but it's really funny. You can only move and shoot and you play versus four players with guns, sword, and all kind of weapons. It can be like a joke, but it's not. The game is really serious. There are round of 10 games and ho win more is the winner. You can go with several types of hats, you can put a fridge like a hat, and that's all the game. It's really bored to play alone, but with friends is one of funniest game I have played ever.

UN signals 'end' of throwaway plastic.


UN environment ministers have meet in Kenya and have firmed a document that will stop the era of throwaway plastic in oceans. Scientists have welcomed the statement, but they where unsatisfied because of that don't have targets or timetables. Norway's Minister says that it's necessary an important change in industry, and they can't put timetables on this aspect. Him told that this is only the starting point, they first target is for zero emission of plastic on oceans, but they want to eradicate the pollution. They have said that they don't know how bad is the situation in the ocean, and how many of that it's for plastic fault.
In my opinion I think that it's a good new, if we want to stay in the Earth we need to take care and don't destroy it.  It's true too that it's an important change and it will take some years, too much I think, until they get them target.

Astronomers have discovered the most distant quasar known. A quasar it's a black hole situated in the middle of a galaxy. It starts to soak up all the substance around it. It means that it starts to guzzle the galaxy. That send out a lot of energy that it's transformed in light, because of that a quasar it's the most bright object in the Universe.  That quasar it's situated 690 million after the Big Bang. That is important because of lets see a lot of information about the primitive Universe, that can help us to know the current one. For the moment there aren't a lot of theories about it, but all the astrophysics are expecting to know more about this phenomenon.

I think that it's really exciting that we can still understanding the universe and I am sure that we will can know more about it with time.
