Madrid (Reuters) – Spain’s most wanted thief, “The Loner,” saw himself as a Robin Hood-style figure and said he robbed banks only because they stole from the public, his lawyer said Thursday.

Accused of killing three policemen and holding up more than 30 banks, Jaime Jimenez Arbe was planning to move on to insurance companies when he was arrested last month, Spanish media reported, citing lawyer Jose Mariano Trillo-Figueroa.

“I am not a killer and if I was obliged to shoot at officers of the law, it was always against my will and in order to avoid being arrested,” Jimenez said in a letter reproduced on the websites of newspapers El Pais and El Mundo.

Trillo-Figueroa said Jimenez, who robbed the banks disguised in a false beard and a wig, thinks of himself as Curro Jimenez, a Spanish 1970s television bandit in the style of Robin Hood.

The Loner was arrested in Portugal, armed with a submachine gun in preparation for another bank robbery-Reuters

An Alliance Could Answer The Growing Threat from Google and Facebook By Evelyn M.RuIsi and Nick Bilton Apple, which has stumbled in its efforts to get into social media, has talked with Twitter in recent months about making a strategic investment in it, according to people briefed on the matter.

Although apple has been hugely successful in selling phones and tablets, it has little traction in social networking, which has become a major engine of activity on the Web and on mobile devices. Social media are increasingly influencing the ways people spend their time and money — important consideration for Apple, which also sells application, games, music and movies.

Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one that could value Twitter at more than $10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion valuation last year, these people said. They declined to be identified because the discussions were private.

There is no guarantee that the two companies, which are not in negotiations at the moment, will come to an agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they may form a stronger partnership amid intensifying competition from companies like Google and Facebook.

Apple has not made many friends in social media. Its relationship with Facebook, for example, has been strained since a deal to build Facebook featured into Ping, Apple’s music-centric social network, fell apart. Facebook is also aligned with Microsoft, which owns a small stake in it. And Google, an Apple rival in the phone market, has been pushing its own social network, Google Plus.

 5.What is the news about?

A. Social networking.

B. Apple’s new products.

C. Twitter strategic investment.

D. Twitters success in social mediA.

E. Apple’s plan to cooperate with Twitter

My Hopes in 2021🌻

~~ W E L C O M E  2021 ~~

Happy New Year Everyone! It doesn't feel like 2020 has passed, now it's 2021.

I hope in the new year, around the world, to celebrate the end of the pandemic and fight for our futures.

In this Years Other people try to make changes through focusing on planning. Likewise with me. Here I will write down my hopes and plans that I will start this year.

First, my hope is an end to the covid-19 pandemic. With the end of this pandemic, we can all carry out activities as before. This year I want to see the whole world screaming in joy and removing their masks, which means the pandemic has ended.

Second, I will start a healthy lifestyle. Such as losing weight, consuming vitamins, regulating adequate sleep, drinking lots of mineral water, and eating healthy and nutritious foods such as vegetables and fruits.

Third,  I hope to pass SNMPTN or SBMPTN and enter the University of Indonesia with a major in business economics. From this hope I have made preparations. Starting with productive learning such as summarizing, working on questions and taking try outs.

Then, i hope to be more independent, such as supporting my own life. I am sure that I can do it. I will prove that and make my parents proud of me.

I think enough for that about my expectations and planning. I hope this year apart from me, you can make your dreams come true.

Don't forget to take care of your health! Because health is the most important thing and obey the protocols that have been ordered.

Butterfly

Butterflies are wonderful insects with beautiful pairs of wings. They are often found in flowery meadows or city parks that provide abundant food resources. Behind their amazing appearance, butterflies have to undergo a long process to morph from a caterpillar called metamorphosis.

The life cycle of a butterfly begins when a hungry caterpillar hatches from an egg laid by adult female butterflies. The caterpillar, often known as a larva, feeds on green foliage that helps it grow longer, bigger, and plumper. At a specific age, it molts and stops eating then hangs upside down and makes itself a cocoon or chrysalis.

Pupa usually hard, smooth and in a form of a structure without any limb. Commonly pupa is green, brown or the color according to the surroundings (camouflage).The forming of a butterfly in the pupa usually takes 7-20 days depending on the species.

At this phase, the chrysalis contains caterpillar juice that is rich of protein to continue the metamorphosis. The discs then forms antennae, legs, wings, and other features. The fully-formed butterfly emerges from the cocoon and dries itself before flying for the first time.

  The Magical of Music in Life 

I personally think that music is one of the most important thing in our life. music is a part of our life. music is completing our day. music is the most faithful best friend and music is always willing to fill your loneliness. so, music has a magical powers. i do believe that. why? here are some reasons why music is heard in everywhere and anywhere.

Firstly, music is a way to express our feelings. when you fall in love, heartbroken, happy, mourning, loneliness, cheerful, just all kinds of feelings can be expressed through music.Besides music can express feelings, music can even change the feeling. when you are desperate and sad, and then you hear a song that is cheerful and motivate you, then you come back feeling optimistic and uplifting. how magical music is!

Second, music can unite people for a cause and changes the world. A song with good lyric and striking deep chord can stimulate the universal feeling of all people. 

Third, as an unstable teenager, who has a lot of problems with love or lessons, you must urgently need friends to share and want to hear your story. at the moment no one can accompany you, music can replace a friend to fill the loneliness. and it was enough to work!

the other reason as long as you know, Song can help to memorize the last experiences. A favorite song is a powerful documentary. People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain would remember details about songs they were familiar with. For example, an elderly woman who couldn’t even remember her husband’s name would remember the details of her favorite song; when it was played, how it made her feel and things about the song that made it especially memorable for her.

So what would the world be like without music? It would be lonely.

Conclusion 

Exposition text is a text that elaborates the writer’s idea about the phenomenon surrounding. I create Exposition text about The Power of Music in Life. Music is completing our day. music is the most faithful best friend and music is always willing to fill your loneliness. so, music has a magical powers.
