The articles talks about one new gadget of Snapchat. Snapchat is an app where you can send photos to your friends but in 10 seconds this photos disappear. This gadget is a sunglass. But it’s not a normal sunglass but a recording one. On the top of sunglass you can see two little cameras, and these ones are connected to Snapchat. So whatever you record is automatically hang out on the app. However, the problem of this gadget is that you can’t buy that on a normal shop. The personal of Snapchat, put some tents in wherever they want without advice, so if you are there fine, but if you are not you can’t buy it. The company announced that only we will now the new places of those stores for a future online map.  Finally the article said that one problem of this gadget is that it can be dangerous for your privacy. But then, the company said that when the glasses are recording there are one light on it.

I think that this gadget is awesome because you can record those memories without have to have your phone in your hands.

This article talks about a rare case that happens on Facebook. One day when Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, opens his app he found that he has a memorial of him on his page. So then he check the counts of his friends if they saw him dead too.  Later he realized that he wasn’t the unique person who had this problem. So that fact became viral and a lot of people had this problem and comment on twitter about that. Finally they discovered that they had been hacked.

In my opinion that was a funny joke. I mean, they had been hacked but this kind of hacks not hurt anyone. And it’s rare that Mark Zuckerberg could be hacked. But also is a serious thing but it makes you conscious that hackers can do whatever they want with our accounts and our private profiles too.

But, this temple become known for the accusation of officers who's said that the animals were maltreating. The director of this temple negate it. So know, there are a discussion of  the destiny of that big cats.

RUN AWAY

How many miles a week should I run is an article of New York Times:

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/11/27/ask-well-how-many-miles-a-week-should-i-run/?ref=health

That article explains the benefits of running. Professionals, like Dr. Carl, said that run five or six miles per week, can improve your healthy. These runners have less problems with high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, etc, than the other people that not run it. You don't have to run a lot to be more healthy because as Dr. Carl said "It seems like the maximum benefits of running occur at quite low doses".

Also the article said that if you hope to becoming more faster, you have to run more of five or six miles. But you don't have to abuse of running because if you run more of one hour everyday it's damaging for our healthy. 

To be honest I thought that if you run more than five or six miles you become more healthy, because I think that miles are a few ones. Of course, you don't have to abuse of that because it can be very damage for your healthy in different ways but all are bad ones.
