And the investigation focused of the Urdangarin's company, non-profit Noos Institute, received public funds, and shell's company which is calld Aizoon SL and owned equally with Cristina.

This news is very disappointing. I don't understand how the princess of the royal family can do to commit a crime! She mastered 4 degree and grown up rich. I think that the rich should share their property like noblesse oblige. In my opinion, princess Cristina must be punished equal before the law. She is a princess and a sister of monarch Felipe VI. However, just reason of the royal family should not receive benefits. Royal family get not the advantage but show to serve as a model. Then after the trial, princess' couple have offences, I think that embezzled money must be reduced to society. And they must do self-reflection with suitable punish.

2. Spain plane struck by lightning after return from World Cup campaign
#Summary
Spanish foot ball players return Brazil to Spain early because of their painful defeats of group league and flight Iberia 2907 which is Spain's national soccer team's coming back aircraft was hit with a bolt of lightning. Fortunately, there are no damaged both people and airplane. After they arrived in Madrid, Del Bosque who is supervisor said his team didn't show good performance at the World Cup, but finishing with win is important and golden generation must be applauded for their success during 6 years.
#persuasive
Fail of Spain in World Cup is still shocking at me because golden generation's showed the strong impact through the victory of previous World Cup and UEFA European Football Championship. Besides, they were hit the lightning, it looks more bleak. Although their surprising failure, I think that Spanish soccer team doesn't need to be blamed. First of all, they accomplish many title of major competition until a recent date. So Spanish could be pleasured and happy thanks to their remarkable activities. Second, they won the last match with Australia. Then they show the possibility of recovering good athletic performance. Lastly, in my opinion, sometimes failure can help to correct the team better. This failure is just course of generational change. Nothing lasts forever.
So I want national soccer team of Spain not to get some blames and keep calm.

3. Annual baby jumping festival held in Spain
#Summary
El Salto del Colacho (the devil's leap) which is Spanish festival held in Spain on Sunday. In this festival, babies are lined up and a man dressed as the devil are jumping over babies. This festival has been since the year 1620, and it means remove the babies of original sin and to bestow them with good guidance and protection.
#Persuasive
This article treat the Spanish festival, and I know about the new carnival with baby. When first reading this article, I am very surprised by behavior of jumping over the baby. From early child hood, I heard that it is bad behavior to walk through the body. Although my country doesn't accept the jumping, I respect this action as a culture. Jumping festival is theirs own custom which has been continued about 400 years! Also behavior don't include savage action and just contains heart of health and riding the sin, I can consider it is another culture.

4. Spain's student grants: better late than never?
#Summary
Even though the grant application ended in October, many students have waited months to receive the grant because of administrative delays. After the reformed system of support, Spanish university students started receiving their grants just on month before the end of the academic year. Then many people have had to depend on the bank loans to cover their living cost. And revised grant draft don't have transparency, also this is decided no dialogue with students and university.
#Persuasive
It is very terrible news, because many students sensitive about money and loans are significant problems. And government had a mistake. They peremptorily reforms grant draft without discussion with university or student. It is not a problem for only government. This problem is complicated and certainly comprehensive with university, students and school parents etc. Therefore I think that government compensates for students as the great grant draft and scholarship.
