Collateral beauty

This film is a drama about Howard, a successful New York advertising executive who suffers a great tragedy and he retreats from life. While his concerned friends try desperately to reconnect with him, he seeks answers from the universe by writing letters to Love, Time and Death. But it's not until his notes bring unexpected personal responses that he begins to understand how these constants interlock in a life fully lived, and how even the deepest loss can reveal moments of meaning and beauty.

When I saw the trailer I thought that it will be good, but when I finished seen it I was crying after the message that this film transmits. One of the thinks this film express is that even the hard times you can see the light, all is guide for time, love and dead, and we can’t make anything for change this, so we need to accept it and live whit it. 

Hundreds of Pilot Whales Die After Beaching in New Zealand

Hundreds of pilot whales that swam into a shallow New Zealand bay died overnight. More than 500 rescuers tried to send the pilot whales back out to sea, but at least 250 died.  This is the worst think about dead of whales has ever happen in New Zealand.

New Zealand has one of the highest rates of whale standings, which are believed to occur when the mammals, who are known for their social bonding, make navigational mistakes while chasing prey, escaping predators or trying to protect sick members of the group.

My future...

I think everyone sometimes had think about his future. What will you work? If you will get married? Where will you live...? 

Yes, I think about this a lot of times, sometimes I thought that I will never get married because I didn’t believe in love, but now everything is different. My opinion has changed a lot in all these years and you continue changing. Before, I was thinking that think about the future is interesting, but I change my opinion about that too.

Actually, I think thinking about my future is a loss of time, because the future is unpredictable. Yes, is interesting make suppositions about our life, but we can’t do nothing for changing what will happen. We don’t know if whit who we will fell in love, or if we will go to another country and we stay there forever…

This is my opinion now, but I don’t know if one year later I will continue thinking that. Now my “life quote” is: live the present and don’t worry about what will happen.

Manchester Arena suicide bombing: 22 die at Ariana Grande concert

Last year, in a concert of Ariana Grande in Manchester there was a attemp. 
Children were among the 22 people killed in a suicide attack after an Ariana Grande concert at Britain's Manchester Arena.

Meanwhile, Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins identified the suicide bomber responsible for the carnage as 22-year-old Salman Abedi. Police have also arrested a 23-year-old man in Manchester in connection with the attack. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack but neither US nor British officials have corroborated that. The pop star's fan base is primarily girls and teenagers, so the venue was packed full of families. The blast sparked a nightlong search for loved ones as frantic parents tried to locate their children, and groups of friends scattered by the explosion sought each other. Rohit Kachroo, security editor for NBC News' U.K. partner ITV News, reported that nuts and bolts were spotted in the arena's foyer but police would not comment on whether victims had suffered wounds from shrapnel. Police said the explosion took place outside the arena catching people as they exited, also triggering chaos inside the venue.U.S. officials said initial reports indicated that some of the injuries might have been caused by a stampede of concertgoers. Police said emergency services received 240 calls after the incident and victims were taken to eight hospitals. At least a dozen people aged under 16 were hospitalized. Britain's terrorist threat level stands at "severe," the second-highest rung on a five-point scale, meaning an attack is highly likely. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said President Donald Trump's national security team was keeping him up to date while he is in Israel. Speaking after meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehemon Tuesday, Trump blamed "evil losers" for the attack, adding that he won't call terrorists "monsters" as "they'd think that's a great name." The Department of Homeland Security stressed that there was no information to indicate a specific credible threat involving U.S. music venues. Manchester Arena, which opened in 1995, is one of the largest indoor venues in Europe. More than 1 million people fill its seats every year. It is located near the Manchester Victoria transit station.Local families offered beds for the night to people who had been affected by the explosion, and taxis provided free rides. A statement issued by Muslim organizations in the Manchester area said the community was "saddened and horrified" by the attack. This was Britain's deadliest terrorist attack since four suicide bombers killed 52 London commuters on three subway trains and a bus in July 2005.

Manchester is located 160 miles northwest of London. It was hit by a huge Irish Republican Army bomb in 1996 that leveled a swath of the city center. More than 200 people were injured in that attack, though no one was killed.

Lloyd Conover, Inventor of Groundbreaking Antibiotic, Dies

Lloyd H. Conover, a chemist whose breakthrough invention of one of the most effective and widely prescribed antibiotics, tetracycline, led to a whole new approach to developing such drugs, died on Saturday in St. Petersburg, Fla. He was 93. His death was confirmed by his son Craig.

Dr. Conover started his research at Pfizer in Brooklyn in 1950. Became intrigued with two naturally occurring antibiotics that, except for two atoms, were chemically identical.  

Using a routine chemical procedure, he stripped chlorine from one antibiotic and inserted hydrogen, creating a more stable molecule. He worked with a single assistant.

The result was tetracycline, a powerful antibiotic with fewer side effects than the drug from which it was derived. Virtually all antibiotics today are semisynthetic, meaning they are chemically altered to increase the number of infections that can be treated or to reduce side effects.

By the time the litigation ended, widespread use of tetracycline had caused many kinds of bacteria to become resistant to the antibiotic, reducing its potency against many infections.

At Pfizer, Dr. Conover was assigned to a team working to determine the chemical structures of two antibiotics that turned out to be very similar. When the task was completed, the senior scientists went off to write papers about their findings, leaving Dr. Conover with time on his hands.

Dr. Conover spent his entire career at Pfizer. He went on to help invent Pyrantel and Morantel, which are used to treat parasitic worm infections, and rose through the company’s executive ranks to become senior vice president of agricultural products research and development. He retired in 1984.

Although Pfizer vigorously defended Dr. Conover’s patent, the company was less aggressive than competitors in marketing his invention.

Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards inspires fans as she bravely shares picture of surgery scar

Perrie Edwards has earned herself heaps of praise for posting an image of her surgery scar on Instagram.

The singer has spoken about the scar before, which she previously called her ‘body hang up’. But now she has enough confidence to wear the scar with pride, which has earned a lot of love from her fans.

Perrie received the scar a child following surgery for her oesophagus as it was too small. She underwent several operations to help her eat, but has since kept the scar hidden as it reminded her of what she went though.

Fans commented on her bravery, and said the image made them feel comfortable about their own scars.

Also, after this fact a lot of fans posted photos of her own scars like her idol.

I think that is a great thing, because she shows that she can get over with her complex, and she also indirectly encourage all her fans to show her insecurities.
