Voting Machines

Half a million of these machines were at work this Sunday in Brazil for the municipal elections. I have used one of them a few hours ago and I already know who is the new Mayor of São Paulo, one of the biggest cities of the world. The machine is very simple to use and the results can be quickly known. In the future, these beauties will identify the voters by reading their fingerprints.

Malala Youzafzai’s Recovery

Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman because she campaigned for girls’ education. According to Dr David Rosser there were still some concerns about her smooth recovery as you’ll see in the link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20001486

Malala Yousafzai

She wants to be a doctor, her dearest ambition is to carry on her studies and help to ensure that every girl has the right to attend school in her country. Malala sets an example to us all on not to silence in the face of injustice. Unfortunately, she almost lost her life because of her ideas. The Pakistani girl was cowardly shot in the head by Taliban gunmen in Swat. She is currently in a serious condition and is being seen by doctors at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. Are Pakistani girls destined to have denied their rights to education?

“I felt hurt on opening my wardrobe and seeing my uniform, school bag and geometry box. Boys’ schools are opening tomorrow, but the Taliban have banned girls’ education”  Malala Yousafzai
