I love you PEP!

Bye bye Guardiola. Since the moment you went upstairs to Camp Nou's pitch, I knew you would change the history of our club. You showed us how to believe in our team, the same team that the last coach left worse than no-one else in years. You pointed the way we had to believe in you, your players, your way to train, in fact, to believe in your philosophy.
During these 4 years, we have enjoyed as no-one else in the world, we have won 13 trophies out of 16. If ever you read this post, I just have to tell you that I've enjoyed like a child watching your team play and congratulate you on your excellent work.

Dear Obama,

Recently I have seen the video that has gone viral rather fast. Probably you know which video I'm talking about, KONY 2012. This video has moved more than 5 milion people but... I would know what is your opinon about it? Do you really think that sending soldiers to Uganda can help to catch Kony?

In my opinion, obviously it can help a lot but... are you completly sure that the reason why you will send soldiers to Uganda is just to catch Kony, or your country has more interests in that country?. I will never know the answer but if you act in this way to help people, the image I have about you will improve a lot.

Yours sincerely.

Aleix Canet

HUMAN RIGHTS

0. Quiz: do you know your rights? : what's your score?

I haven't seen anywhere what's my score.

1. What are human rights?

Human rights are 30 laws which everyone should respect and complay towards other humans.

2. Why were they created?

They were created to keep humans against them and their rights as humans.

3. How many human rights are there?

There are 30 human rights.

4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected.

The right to be defended in a equal way against the law. This right sometimes is violated with important persons. For exemple, here in Spain, Mr Camps won't be arrested but instead of it, one lawyer will be arrested because he stolen 5000 euros from a transfer he did.

Can Internet make the world a better place?

A few years ago, a new technology was born: Internet. Nowadays, it has made our life better than before. Thanks to Internet, we can meet people we don't see, look for places, and more activities. But... has internet more advantatges than disadvantages? Let's see.

In internet we can find informatiion we are looking for or we need, find people we met before, chat with friends and family, and share our experiences and opinions in pur website, apart of sharing music or movies. In addition, one of the most advantatges internet got is that people will see everything upload. You can keep noticied about what is happening in Australia while someone is in USA. It's useful if you want to transmite your message.


However, it has bad points. Security is one of them. As it's available for everyone, you have to protect your ID and personal information from users that could use it to hurt someone, or whatever related with bad things.


In conclusion, it's very useful and dangerous at the same time, so you should protect your persona information and use it safely.

This is my second OP this course. I think I've improved a little bit but not at all I expected. There's moments that I say "aaaah" so I try to improve and correct these mistakes. In addition of mistakes, another mistake I did was to not stop moving all time and that's another thing I have to correct.

From PP, It should had been improved a little because was too basic without photos, without movies, too easy and non attractive so far.

But, in fact, I'm proud of myself becuase I can start to speak with more fluency than before, so it's a positive point and a motive to keep going improving!

My team

Time is passing and every moment I’m a little bit near of the end of the season. I ‘m glad of myself because all I ever wanted I’ve could achieved this season: make a champion team, a team with no fears, a team where someone can find in it my ideas, my way to be. A team who want the ball, take the ball from the other team, a team which doesn’t feel the meaning of pressure, a team which wants to show to the public how they play an attractive basket. Actually I’ve fallen in love with my small team, even sometimes I got troubles, they’re one of my most loved treasure nowadays. Without them, I wouldn’t be me, I would miss some part of me because what they have given to me is huge, something that I couldn’t say with words, a reason to live, to believe in every act I do or every word I say.
I know that it won’t be eternal, but I will just keep with me good memories with them.

News

December 2011 was a bad mont tho sail, because Costa Concordia sank in front of Giglio coastline, an Italian island.

WIth this founding, there are 6 bodies that have died in the accident and to be identified.

News

This summer, Arsenal has sold some of the key players like Samir or Fàbregas.

This fact has made Arsenal account increse in 49.5$ milion, during the last six month. It's good for Arsenal, if you compare with the last six month when Arsenal lost 6.1$ milion.

With this amount, supporters have claimed to join new good players to get some chance to win a competiton or a trophy.

Arsenal is not winning any award from 7 years ago, and could be a improvement if Arsenal join. However, they have warned that not all the money will be invested joining players becaus they have to got a little quantify is thinfs doesn't go as they want.

In addition, Stan Kronite has incresed his stake of the club, and Usmanov has done the same with his stakes.

Europe's cold snap

Many homeless people have died in cities around central and Eastern Europe. In some countries, as there was heavy snow and some people got trapped, the army had to help them out.

Most of them have died because they've been exposed to temperature not higher than -30ºC for days. Governments have put up tents to help them. In many cities you can find outside braziers placed in places where people use to wait for trains, buses, taxis, etc...

This cold snap won't disappear at least for the next weeks. Another problem is that countries are using gas for warm them up and it causes an increse of the gas consume during this period

Games

Games play an important role in my life. Playing when I'm boring or when I want to get fun, I play games. For me, games just aren't playing football or killing people. Behind every moviment I do with joystick there's a feeling, a thought, an idea. Obviously I get angry when players score me a goal and every time I'm looking for some way to stop him. I'm proud of myself in this way because I can think as fast as I think thanks to videogames and trying to preview what my opponent will do. When I do something, for exemple, move a player to another position, my mind has already done this action and is thinking in whatever will happens when I'll have done it. So by this way, I'm not a bad player. I'd better if I use this time not to playing, for studying, but I don't think that's the principal reason why sometimes I fail.
This fast-think way has given me a qualities playing basketball. One of my best skills is reading the game and where I might move to give spaces to my team mates.

Games have taught me good things and bad things. I remembered 2 years ago, I cryed when I got the end of the game, when the principal character die. I didn't think this game could be as well as at final would be. Or for exemple, I usually play shooters in history mode, sometimes I get goosebumps when I see an emotional scene like an heroic act, or when people are trying to save his friend's live.
But as whatever that exists, bad things that games have taught me have been I get angry often so I must control myself if I don't want to go to the jail due to I've killed someone, or when people kill me without understand why I've die.

Carnival

Febrary has come and with him Carnival has arrived. Music, party, customes, young people dancing, etc... This year we divided into 2 groups. The first one, me included, disguise of Wally, fun custome I think, and the second one disguise of Dragon Ball. As a tradition, we went to Roses Carnival and the next weekend we went to Castello Carnival.

First weekend I prefer not to say anything about, because I don't remember anything till 1pm. Well, just blurry images. And one thing I'll remember forever is the hangover I got, it was incredible, I never felt this way before, so I've decided to turn my life around and start a healthy life.

Castello was a different history. I went on Friday to Empuriabrava until 1 am because I had a game with my team. On Saturday we had dinner at home with friends and then went out in Castello. The night could be better but I don't complain.

Carnival is fantastic if you want to have a good time with friends, meet people, make friends, share experiences, songs, and all these feelings that only appear in big situations as can be Carnival or St Joan.

My impression

My impression this year is not so far than I expected, a hard course. The end is close so... should I give up as I have never done? Or just keep working hard and get better marks than now I'm getting. I think I'll choose the second option basicly because all time I've spent, all time I've been suffering and every good mark has made me a smile.

Even people say that the chance between ESO mentality and Batxillerat mentality it's a huge jump, I think that where there is that jump is between 1r and 2n, because you got more homework, more exams, more tasks to be done, and as supposed, less time because selectivity is turning the corner.

But... as every problem in this world, there is a solution: working hard. These two words means more than just two words. Working hard means that you have to optimize the time you got doing school tasks, it means no facebook while you're doing homework, leave activities you did before if these activities spend you more time that you got, etc...

In fact, 2n is a hard course, probably the most befor university, but it is not impossible, and even bad thoughs came to your mind, remember to don't give up never

Gregorio Luri

Gregorio Luri is one of the most important philosophers in our contry, Spain. We went to a philosophy meeting in Figueres, where he did a speech to us. He congratuled us for our composition about the myth of progress.
He said that people had changed their mind and their way to understand the things that happens. After this, he add that the world is going in a wrong way and we'll kill our planet. However, there are some optimistic people who thinks that as everybody, our minds can change to a better way but we have to work together. Apart from this, he also added that we are tending to think on our own, not in the rest. We just want whatever can feel us happy or feel us we're important because we got it.

Oral presentation

This oral presentation has been the first in second of batxillerat. As it's a custom for me, I was so nervous when I started to speak, but then, I improved my own security and I started to speak more clearly and more fluency. Even though I prepare an oral presentation, nerves will be there always, I can't keep them off.

I think I should try to move less, and stop saying wierd things, as sometimes I say. In general, although I don't know the mark I got, I should try to improve my fluency and my vocabulary. I did some important mistakes that I shouldn't do to improve my english. Next time I'll do better than now.

20N

20N is the name people gave to spanish elections on November. Normally when one conutry has elections, people chose the president that they want and normally it is not clearly. But in Spain, probably elections wouldn't be needed.

Spaniards have chosen Rajoy with almost all votes. The PP won about 44% of the vots and socialists 29%. It's one of the most difference since Franco's time. Its PP vots should be abouts 186 seats on the lower house.

It affects us because we're Spaniards and it's our country, all action govern does, it affects to us. Also I think it will be a drak periode for Catalonia so I think catalans must be together to face up it.

I am a champion

I am a champion is the name of one of the videos I see before a match. In this video appears a coach, called Flower who's trying to motivate his players before a match. It's in english but there are lots of traductions to anothers languages. And as somebody say, if you see this video, you can jump to the square without open the door, you jump to play very concentrated, trying to do all things as well you can. This speech talks about how you have to jump to the square, the way you have to be, and what do you need to act correct and think clearly. It's important to get ready physically and mentally if you want to be a good player. Now the video, it's beautiful to hear him speaking to his players:

Nick Vujicic

Probably you won't ever heard this name because you think: oh it's just a man, like me or like some others. But he's different. He's 23 but he was born without limbs. Only there was a little "chiken wing" as he say in his left leg. When he was young, everybody thought that he had a mental disability but it isn't true, and other boys laughted at him. Sometimes he thought about to commit a suicide, even his parents thought that he wouldn't be nobody in this life. Nobody said it was easy and without limbs more. He's very clever, but just with his wing. He can swim, he can talk to someone, he can drive a car, he does a normal life like us.

Nick is very strong. He always say that you must not give up even thought things doesn't go well, you must carry on fighting for reach your dreams, as he did.

In fact, you don't have to feel bad to change your life if things go wrong, just think nothing go wrong *:)

HIMYM

How I met your mother is one of the most popular tv programme in USA. This serie explains the life of Ted Mosby and his friends. Ted is a rational man who doesn't do anything without thnking about it. This serie follow the life of he and his friend through a search of Ted's love. He's an architect who is working in a university but Barney Stinson wants to give him a project to build the new building for his company. Barney is a smart men who wants to roll up with a lot of girls. But also, he's looking for his love, but he doesn't find it.

Also there is the only couple in the serie: Marshall Erikssen and Lilly Aldrin. They met them in the university and started a relationship since then. They are the characters who give stability in this serie and the perfect love.

And the character that's it's different than the rest is Robin. She's a journalist from Canada but she decide to work in NYC. Ted fell in love with her and after that he introduce her in his friend group.

In my opinion, this is one of the best tv serie and it shows how important is a friend group to enjoy

Don't worry, be happy.

Sometimes we get stressed and we can't think clearly. It means that there is something wrong inside our brain as neurotransmissors aren't working well at this moment and you need to take a break. Specialists now are trying to find out how the brain workd and what causes some of the most populars neurodegeneratives diseaes. Actually we know what every part of our brain does but we don't know the reason why it happens.

Some specialists are making an effort to look for this solution because they think that it would help them to understand how we are abd why we are.It could also help by looking for the regeneration of neurons, and neurotransmitors.

It can give society a ray of hope because if you have a relative who has a degenerative disease, it can help him and also to make people more intelligent, to understand feelings and emotions, but above all, to help people

Galileo

Europe has launched to the space a rocket that carries the most famous European GPS system: Galileo. A total of 16 satellites that have to complete this system that it has to be the most complex system and useful for us. The system allows you to know where someone is with in a milimetric precision around the world.

But the only bad thing that it has is that you can know were your mobile contacts are if you have an iPhone with "Find my Friends" and it can give problems to some couples.

In general, it shows how technology has improved a lot, and that's a positive point for European technology.
