The duke and his former business partner Diego Torres are suspected of siphoning off money given by regional governments to the Noos Institute to organize sporting events. This new has embarrassed the royal family. Urdangarin read a statement distancing King Juan Carlos and her wife from the corruption scandal.
Every day a new corruption comes and I find it strange that it have come to the royal house.  I don’t know if it is true or false but now nobody trusted the royal house or politicians. 

Mosquitoes ignore repellent Deet after first exposure


Repellent Deet appears to be losing its effectiveness against mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are first deterred by the substance but then later ignore it.  By knowing the cause of this the researchers attached electrodes to the insects antenna and after that they could saw that the mosquitoes were no longer as sensitive to the chemical so they weren’t picking it up as well.
I know that some repellent aren’t effective. Sometimes I use it but after an hour or two mosquitoes appear again so it doesn’t work. Always mosquitoes bit me but I didn’t do nothing because after a days the bit didn’t hurt me.
