Little story

Hello Pat, I'm Judith. I'm writting this note to you to say that I have lost the sunglasses that you lent me the other day. I think I left them in a café before going into the Dalis museum. 

I want to apologise because I know that you love this sunglasses. There are really nice, trully. I can get you another pair when I go to town.

Well I think that I lost your glasses yesterday, when I was visiting the Dalis Museum, I went with Sara. Before going into the museum we went to the bar and probably I forgot your sunglasses there. When I reallised that I wasn't wearing your sunglasses, I when back to this bar to ask for them, but they didn't know anything. 

World must end "dirty" fuel use - UN

A long-awaited UN report on how to curb climate change says the world must rapidly move away from carbon-intensive fuels. Natural gas is seen as a key bridge to move energy production away from oil and coal. But there have been battles between participants over who will pay for this energy transitions. The report is the work of the UN's Intergovernamental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was set up to provide a clear scientific view on climate change and its impacts. The Summary for Policymakers on migration paints a picture of a world with carbon emissions rising rapidly. 

It's a fact that all our world is changing and this is brought about all the contamination that our produce with we activities day by day. We have to reduce all these activities or do it by means of a way less polutting. The plants are dying everyday and we die with them if we don't change our customs. We need to find a solution in order to keep our pace in life. I believe in the change.

You can retire before your 40th birthday

We all dream of retiring early with a fantastic pension and no money worries. What counts as early retirement? In the United States, The average adult retires at 61 according to a Gallup poll. In Australia, men retire within the last five years were 61.5 to 63.3, on average, and women were 59.6, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Whereas in Japan, the average worker retires at 69.1, and in Luxembourg, the average retirement age is 57.6, according to the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. But in some countries, like India, for instance, where two-thirds of the population is 35 or younger, this, more youthful working population has its goal set to retire earlier at 45 or 50.

Early retirement becomes an impossible dream for many people purely because they didn't plan it early enough. 

I think that it's a good idea to retire before your 40th birthday because in our civilization even though it's early, we can do a lot of things yet. I consider that people from 40 or 50 are young enough and have a lot experiences to live, they are alive. It's the best time to go away, to visit a lot of places and know new cultures and languages. If I have enough money when I am 40, I want to do it. I believe that it's a way of quality life.

I have lived underwater

Living underwater is seen by some as futuristic utopia, but what's it actually like? Rose Eveleth asks a man who eats, works ans sleeps on the sea floor.The idea of living underwater is often brought up as a possible future for humanity. Some have proposed submerged settlements as a way to preserve civilisation in the event of a global catastrophe, or to avoid overpopulation. Meanwhile, developers are alredy planning submerged hotels in locations including Maldives, Dubai, Singapore and Norway. These developments may one day live up to the romantic notions many have of life beneath the waves, but what's it like to live underwater today?

I was reading this piece of news and... Well I was really surprised that probably, in a future not very far, we can live underwater. The last summer I went to a centre of diving and it was amazing. I can't imagine living day by day underwater. It has to be really exciting. I hope one day I can visit a house underwater and spend a little time there, not forever, but one day or two it would be good. I hope that technology lead us to these new possibilities of life.

Flies can monoeuvre like fighter jet

New research shows that a threat comes into view fruit flies make split-second turns reminiscent of those made by fighter jets. High speed videos revealed the subtle wing movements that enable them to make the split-second "blank" turns in order to evade attack. 

One of the researchers, Prof Michael Dickinson of Washington University in Seattle said that the aim of the research was to learn more about how flies process visual information. These flies do a precise and fast calculation to avoid a specific threat and they are doing it using a brain that is aslittle as a grain of salt. The researchers captured the flight to fruit flies in a purpose built cage using three high  speed cameras. They frightened the flies by flashing up an imagine of a looming predator and observed closely how the flies change course. 

I believe that all these experiments are really interesting. I really like all matters related with the science, all the experiments. I think that is a way to learn more about the world because there are a lot of things hidden in the nature that there are in front of our eyes but we can't see them clearly. We need time and pay more attention to everything in the world because everything has something new to teach us.

IPCC scientists accused of "marginalising" poor nations

Climate scientists meeting in Berlin have been accused of "marginalising" the view of developing countries. The are preparing to realease a key report on how the world must cut carbon emissions to stem dangerous warming. The narrative, the language, the views of IPCC still marginalises the developing country perspectives. Dr. Okereke believes that there has been a fundamental shift in the discussions because the issue of historical responsability for carbon emissions has been watered down by richer national who are more concerned with the future that the past. 

The argument has been shifting away from the view that the developed countries, who have been mainly responsible for the problem, should take leadership in solving it, to this centre-ground view that we are all in it together and we all have to do our share.

In my view, we have to reduce all the contaminating emitions because is the better fot the world. Developed countries sometimes install their industry in other undevoloped countries in order to pollute less their country and to have cheaper workforce. People from this undevolped countries who work in this industries, normaly work a lot of hours and in really bad conditions and for a low salary. We have to change all these things and be more responsable with the enviroment.

The Right to Education

One of the most important rights, for me, is the right to education. I think that a person with knowledge is more apreciated than another without. The education makes us better persons because besides theorical elements also teach us ways to behave. Without education we would be living in a continued war without rules.
Education is the base to get a good job and make people be equal and everybody starts from the same point. We have to fight for keep this right independently of the class or economic situation. In this way we can eliminate discrimination and fix a better quality.

Ebola News

The number of people believed to have been killed by the Ebola virus in Guinea it's over 100. It was one of the most challenging Ebola outbreaks that the World Health Organitzation has to ever had to deal with. The virus has now killed 101 people in Guinea and 10 in Liberia. Ebola is spread by close contact and kills between 25% and 90% of its victims. 

Southern Guinea is at the epicenter of the outbreak. The geografical spread of the outbreak is thought to make it particulary challenging to contain.

This news caught my attention because it is thought to be one of the most dangerous diseases, and it's one of the most dangerous because it doesen't have medical care. I hope that one day someone finds a solution to this desease that is killing a lot of people.

Demostrations

Nowadays in the Spanish cities there are plenty of protests. In the last years Spain has gone frombad to worse, politically speaking, and for this reason people protests and show their discontent. Every day there are, all kinds of people, young and old going round with protest slogans witten on placards protesting on the streets. 

I believe that this is a good way to express the displeasure of the workers and students that day by day are suffering cut backs from the politics. I am upset with all the measures concerning with education because, as time passes, our opportinities to accede to university or find work are decreasing and it's really frustrating see how all your work is for nothing. 

I would like to go to some pacific demostrations and see how people try to fight for their rights, find people who fight together for the same reason and thinks, more or less, like you do. In my view I believe that must be a really good experience and really conforting. 

New Technologies

I am really surprised about the progress of the new technologies, few years before, if you needed information about whatever topic, you had to go to the library and look it up in some books, and probably none of these books had the information that you were searching for. 

Nowadays, If you need information, you only need a mobile phone or any information system with internet. That's all! You can find out anything in a few minutes and if this information isn't useful, you can click on another page and search for more information.

I believe we are fortunate to be living at a time when information is so easy to find. In my view you never had enought knowledge because it was so difficult to find but today is much easier.
