NEWS: The mother who drank 24 cans of Red Bull a DAY - but cured her addiction with hypnosis

Ms Weatherill lives with boyfriend Phil Evans, 27, and four children aged between three and 14. He started drinking Redbull 2005 while studying, but in 2009 he noticed that I was completely hooked on this drink. I could not take anything without it. In 2010 it took 24 cans a day to care for their four children and stay awake at night to study to finish the race.

Eventually I could not do anything without this drink before drinking. He was wrong, had palmitacions, was depressive. Was taking half the lethal dose of caffeine. She finally decided to do something about the problem after she realised the constant need for the Red Bull was severely damaging her health.

But, incredibly, she claims she was completely cured of her addiction after a single session of 50 minuts with cognitive behavioral hypnotherapist David Kilmurry on April 11.

I think this drink is dangerous because produce a lot of addiction and also theirs components are entirely artificials and very harmful to the health. Some Europeans countries have banned this drink.

She was lucky, because any person could have died. People must understand that these drinks are like a drug and the health department should review and ban these types of drinks.

Sarah Weatherill, 31, was so addicted to Red Bull she drank 24 cans a day leaving her lethargic, depressed, suffering heart palpitations and constantly anxious

NEWS: Microsoft to stop producing Windows versions

Jerry Nixon, a Microsoft development executive, said in a conference speech that Windows 10 is the last major revision of the operating system. There will be a Windows 11. He says that this is a positive step, but it does have some risks, now Microsoft will have to work hard.

They will not stop working, on the contrary; now they have a great challenge and a lot of work. He said that Windows is not paralyzed and will move forward again.

To date were forced to offer new updates and technologically speaking it's good not because it is better to change and follow other ways to create innovative technology.From now on Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations.

I think commercials are technical and that the company is very smart and efficient and everything they do to make more money.

Surely from now to continue using Windows 10 you have to pay a subscription. I think this news is a business strategy.

NEWS: Japan: Zoo sorry for naming monkey after new princess

The Takasakiyama Zoo, in southern Japan, put the name of Charlotte to the first female macaque monkey of the year. They put this name as a tribute to the princess of the British royal family. It is a tradition to put a name to the first newborn macaque monkey each year. And it is through a public vote.

This caused many complaints to a lot of people that they considered disrespectful to the British royal family. So the zoo has apologized on its website and they still thinking of renaming the monkey.
I think it is a beautiful tradition and anyone must not break this tradition. It is a popular vote therefore, in my opinion; the zoo must not rename the monkey, because the majority has decided in this way.
I do not think that it is disrespectful, quite the opposite. I think the people are very much exaggerated and the zoo can not to do attention to these people.

NEWS: Burnt-out passenger ferry to be towed to Valencia port

The ferry called Sorrento caught fire 20 miles from Mallorca with 156 people on board between passengers and crew. On April 28 the evacuation was a success. The captain gave the order to evacuate the ferry on lifeboats, but now the more worrying is that the ferry carried 740 tons of fuel that can represent an ecological disaster.

Now the Sorrento is it around 100 nautical miles from the coast of Valencia. The operation to transport it to port will be very risky because is necessary to try that the fuel does not leak into the sea. The Public Works Minister Ana Pastor had said that the government’s priority was to ensure that the ferry will not contaminate the Mediterranean coast.

I think that is a very important issue because in recent years in different parts of Spain, particularly in Galicia and the Canary Islands have passed similar acts that they are a very big ecological disaster.

If the fuel is spilled at the sea, apart of the destruction of the plants and animals of the sea represents an economic injury because the tourism in this affected area is very much damaged. The governments must do the necessary to find solutions to these accidents.



NEWS: Paws for thought over cryptic photo

The cat that goes stairs up or down depends on how you look.

After the photo of the dress that looked blue and black to some and white and gold the others, now a new picture has divided the opinions in internet.

The experts in animal morphology say that the body and the paws of the cat marks he goes up but if you look the construction of the stairs it can see very clearly that the cat goes down the stairs, well that's what the builders say.

First I would say that the first time I saw the picture I thought the cat climbed the stairs but after to read the news I changed my opinion and now if I set the eyes on the base of the ladder, I see that the cat downstairs.

I think that this news is very funny and the networks make everyone give their opinion on a subject so simple.

NEWS: Motorway thieves steal French jewls

An armed gang of thieves seized 9m. € in jewels in France. A group of 15 hooded thieves seized the vehicles on the A6 motorway at Avallon at 220 Km near of Paris with some form of gas and later the lorries were found abandoned burned and complete empty. The lorries had been carrying diamonds, others jewels and works. Now the police have been searching in the region and the neighbouring areas.

This isn’t the only theft in the recent years. Some of the most important have been, for example, the year before, when a gang of thieves wearing women’s clothing and wigs stolen a lot of jewels on a Harry Winston store in Paris. And this year in the Cannes film festival were two separate robberies, including the theft of a necklace of 1,9m.€.


I think the crisis and unemployment do that every day there are more robberies, but I think that these types of thefts are expert people and the big majority comes from organized armed groups. The only thing you can do to combat this problem is to put more and more security and alarms.


In my opinion this Thieves are experts and trained to steal and they have very specialized equipment.

NEWS: All aboard! Hulk the world's biggest pit bull

The dog Hulk with only 17 months old with a weighing of twelve and a half stone (175 lbs), he is believed to be the world's largest pit bull. He is almost three times bigger than a normal Pit Bull Terrier.

The owners: Marlon and Lisa Grennan, from New Hampshire, say that your dog is very big and tall but he is very gentle like a nanny dogs. Each day he eats 4lbs of ground beef.

And while he admits his dogs are trained for aggression and power, he says the criticism is usually from people who live in safer environments with no need for protection. And why should somebody else live in fear if they don’t have to.


It is true that the called dangerous breeds of dogs have very bad reputation and it requires attention to their education but I think the problem is not with the dogs. Normally the problems are with the owners.

Usually these dogs if they are healthy they aren’t dangerous for reason of the dog breed. These dogs are more corpulent, they have more strength and a lot of strength but that does not mean they are dangerous.

This case is doubly complicated because this dog is of a dangerous breed but also has a extraordinary dimensions, but he is very good for the family and to the children, so it shows that the stereotypes are not always true.


NEWS: Can a school demand your Facebook or Twitter login?

A school district in Illinois is embroiled in controversy after a letter it sent to parents was published, explaining that school officials are allowed to demand access to students' social media accounts.

The letter says that if your child has an account on a social networking website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, ask.fm, etc, your child may be asked to provide his or her password for these accounts to school officials. And a lot of parents who received the notice were also unnerved about the lack of privacy.

A school could only request passwords if there is ample evidence of a school rule being violated But the students weren't required to provide the passwords schools were simply allowed to request them under these circumstances. But is clearly that that's a power that's likely to be abused at some point.

Some argue that the law in Illinois violates Facebook's terms of use, which forbids users from sharing their password or letting anyone else access their account. Anytime a school is trying to control students behaviour outside school, it's a serious threat to their privacy and to their futures.


I think it is a violation of privacy and if the schools require to the students the passwords of the accounts in the social networking like a Facebook, Instagram, Whats,... etc in the hands of someone illegal, could substitute the persons and represents a serious risk. 

In my opinion only the police can require the passwords if they are evidences of cyberbulling. Children need to be inspired, not punished and certainly not made to feel violated.

NEWS: Police threaten to confiscate four year old girl’s bike on way to school because she was cycling on pavement

Sophie Lindley was cycling to go the school in Grantham (Licolnshire) with her father and an officer told them that her actions were against the law. The parents accepted it was illegal to ride on the pavement but they said that is ridiculous to think a four year old is not allowed and with only four year old to ride in the road it’s not safe.

The mother said that at first she thought he was joking but he looked deadly serious. When the little girl was into her class your teacher had to calm her because she thought she was going to be put in jail.

Mr. Lindley obeyed the officer’s order and he added that the path was totally empty and we walk along it every day because Sophie likes to cycle on her bike 


In my opinion this is a case very exaggerated. It’s normally that the cyclist can’t ride on the pavement but have some sense this is just a little kid.

I think that the little bikes under a certain size cant were allowed to ride on the pavement because the small children can’t be expected to ride on the road because it just isn’t safe. We know that the law indicates that it is forbidden but the police should have more common sense and although the law has to fulfil in some cases, like this, they should be more flexible.

NEWS: Anne Allen has created a fictitious career as an actress through social nets

The Spanish actress has forged a career as an actress falsifying photos. She has edited photos with your face above photos from other actresses, superimposing her face onto the different photos and sharing them with her 22.000 Instagram followers.

Also she posted a photo of her invitation to the Oscars and she reposted numerous snapshots in the Instagram account, including pictures, works set and her travels.

Now she deleted her account after it was discovered that she had posted fake photos of herself supposedly attending this year’s Oscars.


Perhaps all to begin with a small lie and after it so have escaped from their hands. I think she is very wrong but your manager is also guilty of this.

I think that although it isn’t a felony and a lot of people lies a little in his curriculum vitae, but in this case, the lie has been great and dangerous. On the other hand it may also be that this person has psychological problems of personality. The fact that it is an interesting case and with the social networking has become a surreal story.

NEWS: Graffiti, demolition and angst in Shanghai

Demolition in China is often a sensitive, political subject: The economic development change the Chinese cities and change the old architecture. A lot of colourful, poignant paintings began to appear amid the rubble on at least two building sites. 

The publicity, though, attracted dozens of curious visitors and amateur photographers to one of the demolition sites in Shanghai's Jing'an district. They're the work of French graffiti artist Julien Malland and Chinese artist Shi Zheng. Some of those old houses that found themselves inadvertently in the middle of the open-air art gallery still have people living in them. As the walls are being torn down around them and they put red flags as a symbol of protest for the homes they don't want to lose.

This news explain that sometimes the little things are important and can make think the people. This story is an example of art that reaches the hearts of people and it can make art anywhere. The painting and many other types of art have always served to vindicate different things, especially social issues. 

The news explain that although the progress is good and also the construction of the big buildings sites is a breakthrough but before the old customs are also good.

I think it is a shame that these paintings have been destroyed, but I understand that the government need impede the access of people because these areas are already destroyed and the persons could have an accident.

NEWS: Airport raids tackle cyberthieves over ticket fraud

Cyberthieves have been arrested in a series of raids named Global Airport Action.

Europol made some raids in the Airports for to arrest some scammers who bought
airline tickets with stolen credit cards.

The police dragged a total of 118 people at 80 Airports from 45 different countries.

The airlines have a loss of £ 640m a year because of fraudulent traffic tickets.

These raids were made in conjunction with the police, airlines and credit card companies and with the collaboration of the command centres in The Hague, Singapore and Bogota.


Many of those arrested were already known to police for similar offenses.


These raids have also helped to arrest people involved in drug trade and human trafficking.

I think that, every time, with the new technologies there are more scams especially with the credit cards.

Thieves learn new techniques and improve their skills, so I think it is good that the police do these raids and try to put measures to prevent these types of crimes and to enforce the law.

NEWS: Are Flip Phones Having a Retro Chic Moment?

Back the retro fashion in phones. On Sept.4, Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue was photographed using a flip phone at the United States Open tennis tournament.

Ms. Wintour is not alone in this retro-chic phenomenon a lot of celebrities including Rihanna, Kate Beckinsale anb Scarlett Johansson have been photographed using their flip phones and also various politicos has been spotted using an old clamshell model.

The Senator Charles E. Schumer admits bought 10 of them in case they run out.

Saving money is only one of the big pluses. These phones are practically indestructible.

As a night-life chronicler is necessary to observe in live what’s going and not be obsessed with social nets, recording and taking pictures all the time.

With these phones I can live in the moment and I can be concentrate in all we do.

It’s a sign of true character. It’s so wrong, it’s right. It’s so unpretentious, it’s become almost haughty. Besides, it goes with my appliqued sweaters and owl glasses.


I like the new, but I’m not totally agree with the writer, because he are right in some things such as the issue that now everyone is obsessed with the last news phones and everybody lives outstanding looking phones at all times .

But I think it is not good to go back because the Smartphone are fantastic and the fact, they using these retro phones because is fashion and cool and it is just a way to get attention.

However I think it is a warning to the telephone companies, because they not raise prices.

NEWS: Indian white tiger kills man at Delhi zoo

In a zoo from Indian happened a serious accident in the past day 23 of September. A white tiger attacked and killed a worker of the Delhi zoo and he was only 20 years old.

Some children saw as the tiger caught the worker for his neck and he was writhing in pain, and they began to throw stones and sticks at the tiger. The man was suffered during 10 or 15 minutes and nobody helped his. People that saw, they say that he fell down or slipped in the enclosure of the tiger because the fence was very low.

The white tigers are rare variant of the Orange sub-especies and nowdays this especie are in danger of extinction. A lot of these tigers have diseases and for this reason very few tigers of this especie remain.


In my opinion this news is very surprising and terrible. The zoos should be more secure and watched. And I hope that not happen again.

Beating brain tumours with a scorpion sting paint

(Science Photo Library)

Right now the only way to remove a cancer is surgery. But it is very dificult. Dr Jim Olson, a paediatric oncologist and researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle, discovered a revolutionary technique, thanks to the bite of a scorpion. Tumour Paint is a drug that attaches to cells, making them glow. So, for the surgeons it is easier to distinguish the tumor from healthy cells. 

In my opinion, scientific progress is very important to find solutions to serious diseases. 

Robots: Can we trust them with our privacy?

(Getty Images)

Wright is a scientist who is preparing an experiment with a robot called Noa. They want to introduce this robot between ordinary people and other places to see how people react. Noa has a face recognition program that has information on many things.

This experiment is a project called Human And Robots in Public Spaces. Hollywood has always said that the danger of robots is their intelligence and strength. But scientists say the robots of the future will live peacefully with humans. The only bad thing would be our privacy.

In my opinion, I would not like robots to have information about us. But I find it interesting that experiments are being done, to see how people react.
