Last summer in Spain

Like I have explained in some yoursays last term this summer I leave to Germany. So this summer wil be a special one because it is the last one her in Spain.

First of all, My friends and I have planned to go to Switzerland together and have some fun together there. This will be at the begin of July. After this vacation I will stay the rest of the summer here in Spain. I don't work this summer like the other ones, so I have more time for me. I will have my drivig licence so I can go wherever I want in this time. I want to go a lot to the beach and to the pool with my friends to meet girls ;).

I will be a lot of time with my friends because they are really important in my life and it are the last month that I'm with them here. I will stay here until 15th of August. Then in Germany I will begin my upper cicle in the company of Mercedes.

Trip to Kassel, Germany with a friend

A good friend and me went to my hometown. There we made a lot of activities. We went there by plane. We stayed there 3 days, just one weekend. At the fist night, when we arrived, we relaxed and went to bed early. The next day we visited the 'Herkules'. The Hercules monument is an important landmark in the city of Kassel. It is located in the "Bergpark (Mountainpark) Wihlelmsöhe", northern Hesse, Germany

On 23 June 2013 the Mountainpark and the Hercules were proclaimed as world heritage site during the UNESCO meeting in Phnom Penh.

At night we went to a big discoteque in the downtown. It was really funny because I also met friends from Germany there.

The next day we went to a soccer match of the team of my city, they won and we had a nice time. Later in the afternoon we went to the indoor pool to relax. The next day we left.

This vacation helped me to relax from all the stress in school and to disconnect from all the things of life.

Party in Tarragona (Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike)

Last 30 of April I went to Tarragona on a electric dance music festival with two friends. We went there by train, first in the afternoon from Figueres to Barcelona there we met a friend that came with us form Barcelona to Tarragona. We arrived in Tarragona at 9pm. there we ate something in a McDonald. We finished dinner at 11pm and then we went to the bullring were the festival was. 

We wait al the bullring half an hour to get in. Once we were in we saw that the place was really huge. At like 1am all the people was in, incredible!! So much people, 9000 persons having fun in there.

At 4am came the big moment, number one of the EDM dj's Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, they rocked the house. The people was turning crazy on their music. 

After the festival at 5.30am we left the bullring and we went to the train station to go back home. The first train left Tarragona al 7am so we arrived at home al 10:30am and then I had breackfeast and a shower, and finally at 11-30am I get to bed! I slept so much.

Here you have got a video of the festival:

Messi urges Barça to halt Atletico title party

Four-time World Player of the Year Lionel Messi has urged his Barcelona teammates not to miss out on the second chance they have been gifted to retain their La Liga title.

Barca seemed all but out of the title race after conceding a last-minute equaliser to draw 2-2 at home to relegation-threatened Getafe last weekend.

However, leaders Atletico Madrid subsequently lost 2-0 away at Levante, whilst Real Madrid have drawn twice against Valencia and Valladolid in the past week to leave them in third place, four points adrift of Atletico with just two games to play.

Barcelona remain three points adrift of Diego Simeone's men themselves, but will win the league if they win their two remaining games away to Elche on Sunday and then when Atletico visit the Camp Nou on the final weekend of the season.

"We are in a better position today than we were a few weeks ago," said Messi.

Comment:

This year La Liga is really interesting because there are just two matches left and three teams can still win it. It has incredible merit what Atletico de Madrid is doing because they have less money than Madrid and Barcelona but they are leading La Liga.

The team that I want that wins is Barcelona but the one that deserves it most is Atletico. So just wait and see what happens

Five teens killed in tragic minibus crash

Five teenagers from a youth football team were killed when their minibus crashed into a mechanical digger on a country road in southern Spain on Thursday night, officials said.

Spanish newspapers later reported it was in fact five minors who had died in the crash.

Extremadura emergency services said on Twitter that overall 13 people were injured of which 11 were taken to hospital. The Civil Guard source said that at least six of those were "seriously" hurt.

Various Spanish media reports put the ages of the minors killed at between 12 and 15 years.

Comment:

It's sad to see that young people dies in an accident of this type. It's difficuld to understand how can happen a accident of to vehicles of so a big size. I hope that the people that were injured and is in the hospital improves their health and gets back home as early as possible.

I wish much support to the families of the dead boys.

Here you have got a video of the accident:

Smog-hit Madrid to wage war on cars

"Madrid is for people, not for vehicles," says the document, in which "positive discrimination" schemes to favour pedestrians, plus the use of bicycles and public transport are detailed.

Across the whole of the Spanish capital, the plan is to reduce traffic by eight percent by 2020, halve the numbers killed in traffic (32 last year) and help the city to comply with European pollution limits, standards which it is currently failing to meet.

The dark pall of smog hanging over Madrid is so familiar to locals that it is known as the city's "beret".

Comment:

The smog in the big cities is a problem. It is not good for the health of the persons of the city and it don't gives a good image to other counties.

I think that it is a good idea to try to reduce the numbers of vehicles in Madrid. It would be easier if people uses more public transports, so they don't must take their car. The problem of the electric vehicles is that the aren't so clean like they want us to make believe. How is the electricy of this cars made? There is the fist problem because most of elecricity is also created creating contamination, so we have got a big problem.

Give banana-thrower his job back: Barça star

Barcelona's Brazilian defender Dani Alves has called for the banana-thrower who sparked a global anti-racist uproar to be given his job back after he reportedly lost it due to the incident.

Alves won praise after he took a bite from the banana and got on with the game, drawing worldwide attention to racist incidents in Spanish football.

“It is not something that has just happened now. I don't want to generalise, to say Spain is racist. I am saying there is racism in Spain. I have been here 11 years and in those 11 years it's been the same, people call me a monkey,” he said.

Comment: 

It  is bad to see that there is so much racism in Spain. It's important that people react againt it because if not it will keep exsisting. I hope that it change some it gives a bad image of Spain to the world. The people that I know is not rasist so I can't say that here they are racists.

Interview with an expert on your interest

Nomophobia

In my environment people are really addicted to they're phones. No one can be away from his phone or just be like one hour without cheking if they got a message.

In my vision it can't be positive to be all day next to your phone. It has radiations that affet on a negative way on our health, to avoid that a little bit, at night we can turn off uor phones.

The phones also have some positive things like that you can communicate really fast with you friends, read news or wath TV programs. 

In conclusion, we shoudn't be so much hour together with our phones because it affects in a negative way on our health and sometimes if we are at school we don't attend because we are looking more on our phone than listening to the teacher. 

Ukraine rebels hold referendums in Donetsk and Luhansk

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27360146

Pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's two eastern regions are holding "self-rule" referendums - a move condemned by Ukraine's government and the West.

Self-proclaimed leaders in Donetsk and Luhansk regions are going ahead with the vote despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's call to postpone it.

Ukraine condemned the vote as a "criminal farce" organised by Russia.

An official in Kiev, national security chief Andriy Parubiy, said: "We do not consider there to have been a referendum."

Comment:

In my opinion, they might let the civilians express their thought. I think this is a violation of the human right that is about the freedom of speech. In the current time shouldn't be situations like this one in Ukraine. Normal modern goverments let their civilization express their opinio and decide what they want to do.

In conclusion, both countries, Russia and Ukraine, should speak to each other to fins a peaceful solution.

Apple 'in talks' to buy Beats for $3.2bn

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-27336863

Technology giant Apple is in talks to buy headphone maker and music-streaming service provider Beats Electronics, according to various media reports.

This would cost 3.2bn Dollars. If they finally buy it will be the biggest acquisition ever of Apple.

Comment: it would be a really big enrichment for this company. They after might have more benefits than now. It looks like that in the future there will be just one company because the big companies just buy the smaller ones. With this actions the companies that buy the other ones have more capacity to offer new products.

Can money buy everything: The marketisation of society?

11.      Up for sale        

22.      Civic values/goods that markets do not honor they can’t buy.   

  In my vision the most of the think are up for sale, it just depends of how much money we pay for the different things. We live in a society were money is really important, just because all is up for sale. Like we can see in the current example of the skyboxes of the soccer stadiums, you can buy it with money, that reflects that very much civic values are affordable.

  

  And we can see that for money we would do everything, it just depends of how much money they give you for something. 
  
  There are also some values that you can't buy. For example it's impossible to buy the love of your family or yur partner.

  In conclusion, I think in our society much things are up to sale, so your happiness can be bigger with more money and material goods. But we will never be happy if we don't have the values that aren't up for sale like the love of your family.

Education is the key, School is the lock

"Education is about inspiring ones mind not just filling their head"

About this sentence I think that it's very true. In my vision much exams like in my case filosophy or history, the day before you just fill you head with information and the day after the exam you don't remember nothing. This way of studing might not be the best you, we must try to inspire the mind of the students so they like to learn new thinks. In that way they don't learn just because of beeing successfull in the exam, they learn to know more things about the topic they are learning.

Mr. Obama

White House

Washington DC

Dear Mr. Obama,

I am writing to complain a violation of the human right that is about the freedom of thought. This right is not respected in Crimea, the people are dominated by the military of Russia and they just took Crimea to their country.

First of all, I would appreciate that the United States of America took action against the Russian government, because they are doing what they want with the people from Ukraine. From outside it looks like Putin, the president of Russia, can do whatever ever he wants and has no opposition.

I would be grateful if the USA took action because it gives the impression that the president of Russia wants to get all Ukraine without respecting what the ordinary people from the place think about him. He do not respect the freedom of thought.

Yours sincerely,

Moritz Heckmann

Human Rights

1.  Every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights, simply by the fact of being human.

2. The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948 to provide a common understanding of what everyone’s rights are. It forms the basis for a world built on freedom, justice and peace.

3. There are 30 human rights.

4. I didn’t even know that there is a human right of the freedom of thought because currently we can see the opposite of that article.

The article 18 of the human rights talks about that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

This article is not respected by every Nation, currently it’s violated by Russia, they just get Crimea regardless of the people that wanted to be part of Ukraine and that people is not respected and they cannot give their opinion, so they have no freedom of thought, they just have to do what Putin says. Before this article even exists is was violated really much a big example were the Nazis in the 2nd World War.

This article is respected in Nations like Germany where you can be of any religion and you will be respected as every other person.

A soulmate for me

Well, I've never thought about this type of things. Probably everybody has a soul mate in the world, but why just one? Could it be that there are more than one soul mate for every person? Now I will talk about what characteristics I need to see in my soul mate. 

First of all, I will talk about the psychological features that my soul mate would have. She has to be an active girl, not to be a couch potatoe, practise some sport and have similar hobbies to mine. she has to be nice, but also I need someone who has a strong personality and gets angry when it is needed. Adding to that, she should have some general culture. Also she might have good humor.

Now I will talk about physical characteristics. Well like every man a girl to be my soul mate has to be slim and not taller than me. I would like straight hair. I don't mind the color, just no red hair. Like most man she has to have nice boobs. If possible, blue eyes, but here in Spain it is really difficult.

In conclusion, I think that finding your soul mate is a really long way. So, in this time you need to accept with the girls that you have in your country or nearly.
