New: Mexico insists 43 missing students are dead.

A policeman has shot dead a teenage boy during an anti-government protest in Venezuela.
Chaotic scenes broke out in the western city of San Cristobal, as 20 people clashed with police in a demonstration over political unrest and the country's worsening economic crisis.

But a 14-year-old boy was caught up in the violence, and a police officer has confessed to shooting him with a rubber bullet.

The head of the citizen security said the teen died in confusing circumstances and the police officer has been arrested.

The Venezuelan president has also condemned the violence.

“Some policemen went past there. A fight broke out, the police said they were surrounded and attacked with stones, and one of the police fired his shotgun and this boy was killed. I condemn this killing and I order an investigation in the capture of those responsible. This is how it happened and those responsible for this killing are behind bars.”

Officials said the boy died on his way to hospital.

Self-evaluation of the oral presentation.

I couldn't upload the video to the net. But I'll self evaluate myself because obviously it's the most important part of the post.

First of all I got nervous, and I read my script although I've studied it. About the content of the presentation I think it wasn't a wide range content about the country of South Africa, we should have talked more about the history.

Finally I think I did well, It could be better if I'd had been more quiet. I hope next time I'll be able to eradicate my failures.

Review: Pulp fiction

Pulp fiction is a film that thriller, crime, and intertwined history. It should be noted that history is cluttered and has a message that depends on the interpretation of the viewer.

Jules and Vincent, two murderers paid work for Marsellus Wallace. Jules Vincent confesses that Marsellus has asked him to take care of Mia, his wife. Jules recommends caution because it is very dangerous exceeded the boss's girlfriend. When the time comes to work, both must get down to work. Their mission: to retrieve a mysterious briefcase.

I loved all of pulp fiction, the acting which was totally awesome I highlight the Samuel L Jakcson's perfomance, the dialogues , strange situations, the way in which the story is told and the soundtrack too.

For me this film has no noticeable negatives, it's a movie that I recommend to lovers of classic cinema and cult cinema.

New: Leonard Nimoy died.

Leonard Nimoy died the 27th of february at the age of 83 in Los Angeles. He was an well-known actor for his role as Mr. Spock in the famous series Star trek.
His wife confirmed that the cause of his death was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Last year the actor announced his disease, and he attributed it to several years of smoking, although he had given it up for a while.
Most recently, Nimoy played William Bell in “Fringe,” but he will be forever remembered for Spock’s calm nature, his face or neck pinch and his famous quote. “You live long and prosper.”
I think that's a mess losing such a good actor, no one will be able to replace him a Mr. Spock RIP.

-Half-Vulcan (the Vulcans were a fictional people on “Star Trek;” Mr. Spock was half Vulcan and half human)
-Neck pinch (to press on somebody’s neck and make him faint or collapse).
-Beloved: greatly loved.

Your say: Bullfighting

Bullfighting is a feast consisting deal bulls, on foot or horseback, in a sealed enclosure for this purpose, the bullring.

From my point of view, the bullfighting should be prohibited because of the suffering of a living being, because only an idiot can come up massively raise animals without any other purpose than his public torture, because even though the show is based on the philosophy of "noble" struggle of man against animal, the reality is that this is a rounding up of several thugs with knives against a defenseless animal, even though the bull could injure or kill one of them in this "noble" fight , they never recognize the bull's "victory", so they kill him anyways ...and there are many reasonings against bullfighting.

In conclusion, this bestiality should not exist, it is a form of entertainment that is against animal rights.
