Twister!

Hi My name is Antonia and i am a meteorologist From Dundee Univercity of Scottland. I saw a movie called Twister that i Liked a lot and i wanted to tell you some things about it.
Twister was made in 1996 and it was directed by Jan de Bond and written By Michael Christon and Anne-Marie Martin. The story is about a girl that lost her father during a tornado. These girl with the name Joe when she grow up she was still feeling sad about her loved people that died in these tornado so as the years past she becomes a meteorologist a storm cheser.Beacuse she wanted to find out with her friends the invection of hel,ping people least at least some minites before the tornado comes. I liked these movie beacuse they were some staff that i do as well as my job but in the movie they dont do very real things and that bothered me alot for example when they were showing the tornados they were like moving very slowly and that in a reality a tornado moves very fast and they keel people very quiqly , but their anfortunatly it showd the opposite but i steel like it!

Honor Killings

Honor Killings

Honor Killings is: the murder of a family or a clan member by one or more fellow family members.The ireporters concerning culture practices in the family that they are towards woman indicated that honor killings had been reported in Egypt, Jordan ,Lebanon ,Morocco ,Pakistan ,Punjab, Syrian Arab Repablic, Turkey, Yemen and other Mediterranean and Persian Gulf countries.These killings result from the perception that udefense of honour justifies killing a person whose behavior dishonor their clan or family.During 2002 in Pakistan it is estimated that 245 woman and 137 men were killed in the name of Karo-Kari in Sindh. The estimated amount of people that died in a year are over 5,000 people woman and men.
Honor suicides is a recent phenomenon of Honour suicides that occurs in Turkey. In this situation there have been many cases when people order or pressure a woman to kill herself beacuse maybe this may be done so people avoid penalties of murdering her. In Iraq woman in Diyala were forced into honor suicides.
In 2005 in Europe six Muslim woman she was killed by her brother because she didnt wanted to stay with her hasband of forced of marriage. South Asia is one of the worst reported continents for honor killings.Honor Killings it doesn't have laws so it is not a law in some countries but as in my opinion i dont think it should be like that.There are a lot of murders and killings in the world for many reasons, i think everybody should try to do something abou it and expecially the person who has the most power beacuse now the newas are reporded everywere and this affects many people aswell as tourist that come for holidays maybe they can be involved in this situation of Honor Killings.
