Why do you think that people enjoy dangerous sports?
This is a question that I make me during my life. As I haven’t proved anyone of these sports I don’t know the reason by my experience. However I have a theory:
Nowadays life in developed countries is completely regulated. The governments want to protect their citizens from all kind of dangers. We are not allowed to drive too fast or to do anything which is dangerous.
For this reason is very difficult to find adventure, and a lot of people get bored. So it’s surprising that dangerous are getting more and more popular. A lot of people like car racing because it gives them the opportunity to drive as fast as they can. Other climb mountains in remote countries because is a challenge that they can’t have in their own countries.
Bungee jumping is an activity that is relatively safe because produce few victims. The attractive of this sport is that creates the illusion of danger. Perhaps it would be safer to jump from a bridge than cross a road,
Life, even in developed countries is dangerous enough without having to run an unnecessary risk; but for a lot of people this is a form to escape of their life routine, and spend a good time.
One day I’ll prove any dangerous sport, like bungee jumping, and I will able to express the sensation by my own experience.

Minorities at language
This entry talks about a theme which the year before we treated in class. First we talked about the conflicts between the Spanish and Catalan languages like officials in the Spanish province of the Comunidad Valenciana. Later in an English class we read a text about a similar conflict in the U.S.A. I try to explain it to you in this manner.
In the majority of countries there is a minority that speaks a language that isn't the official language of the country. For example, in Spain there are at list three regional languages: Valencian, Basque and Galician. But the past national governments have tried to eradicate this languages.
In the U.S.A. there are a lot of tribes, each one with their own language. The one spoken by the Navajo Indians is particularly complex, and the authorities wanted everyone to speak English, so they punished the indians that spoke their own language at school. I think that they wanted to integrate them in an English speaking culture; however I think that this is not the best manner to do it.
In my opinion this policy is wrong because the Indians could learn English and at the same time speak their own language. I think that it is in their interest to speak the official language of the country, because their lives would be very limited in U.S.A. without speaking English.
To sum up I think that all languages disserve respect and when on of the uncountable languages in the world disappear it is lost for ever.
I am a defender of the languages that are speaking in the minority sectors. I don't want that any of them became to disappear. But this is impossible without the collaboration of the governments and the people. The collaboration of the governments is necessary because if they forbid any minority language in the end it disappears; and people have to try to preserve the magic essence of the languages that are used during the intelligent human life.

Barça-Inter
Last 28th of April, two Wednesdays ago, some people of the class went to see the Barça- Inter match in a bar. Because the colours you can deduce which is my team. Of course I'm a culé. Like in the majority of families I am culé because my father it was first. By influence at first; but then it has demonstrated that Barça now is the best football team. This is the summary of the football match; I know some of these things because my flatmate is studying journalism and she had to make a journal with the information of the Barça-Inter match. She asked me to help her with the new and this was more or less the result:
Champions League match played at Camp Nou, Barça against FC Internazionale Milano. The Spanish team had the disadvantage of having lost their away game 3-1 for Mourinho's team. Yesterday, at home, the cule's team should have scored 2 goals to be in the Champions League final.
But, unfortunately it didn't happen. Guardiola's team was weaker in the first half and his players weren't on a par with Inter. During the second half, the scoreboard was goalless draw. However, defender Piqué's 84th-minute goal brought back some hope of winning to Barça's supporters. At the end, Barcelona won the match but not the tie and the Blaugrana left Camp Nou very disappointed.
Barça's president Joan Laporta went to the training session to tell his players that he was proud of them. Now, after one day analyzing the match; we can see Sergio Busquets's playacting which caused Motta's dismissal.
Italian players were also surprised when Camp Nou water sprinklers started working impeding the Italian club's celebration. But the king of the match was coach Mourinho.
His future was uncertain, but after winning the match, which earned them a UEFA Champions League final, his future will be different. Rumours are circulating that Mourinho could replace Pellegrini at Madrid.

La Vila Joiosa
Despite I'm living in Castellón I don't forget my dear town. La Vila belongs to Alicante province. It's very beautiful; not only because it was my born city. It has about 30.000 or more habitants, therefore it isn't big. It has many beaches of differnt types like rocks or sand. In summer, this beaches have refreshment stalls where you can eat, take drinks to refresh yourself, listen to music with the best the best summer landscape.It's wonderful!!
Stalls are my favourite place in summer. It's possible that you are hearing about it because its fabulous local parties of Moors and Christians. They take place since 24 to 31 of July every year. They are considered international interest parties. This is possible because its Desembarco.
The "Desembarco"(disembarkation) is the most famous act of the parties of Moors and Christians. It take place at daybrake and consists in the Moors go with their ships from the wharf to the shore, and in the shore are the Christians waiting for them. When the moors arrive, the day is starting and they begin the battle for Villajoyosa's conquest.
Do you know who is the champion? Moors are the winners in this battle, but not everything finishes here.Since the Moors had won, they invaded the casttle of La Vila. At this point the only way to recover the castle was to return to fight. This act is named "The Reconquest". Obviously, this battle is won by the christians.

Facebook!!!
What makes Facebook think the world is becoming more public and less private? Zuckerberg, a company, cites the rise of blogging "and all these different services that have people sharing all this information." That last part must mean Twitter, right? But blogging is tiny compared to Facebook! It's made a big impact on the world, but only because it perhaps doubled or tripled the small percentage of people online who publish long-form text content. Not very many people write blogs, almost everyone is on Facebook.
The world is becoming more open and his evidence is Twitter, MySpace, comments posted to newspaper websites and the rise of Reality TV.
But Facebook is bigger and is growing much faster than all of those other things. Do they really expect us to believe that the popularity of reality TV is evidence that users want their Facebook friends lists and fan pages made permanently public? Why cite those kinds phenomena as evidence that the red hot social network needs to change its ways?
The company's justifications of the claim that they are reflecting broader social trends just aren't credible. A much more believable explanation is that Facebook wants user information to be made public and so they "just went for it,"
The rise of blogging is evidence that Facebook needs to change its fundamental stance on privacy?
This is Very Important
Facebook allows everyday people to share the minutiae of their daily lives with trusted friends and family, to easily distribute photos and videos - if you use it regularly you know how it has made a very real impact on families and social groups that used to communicate very infrequently. Accessible social networking technology changes communication between people in a way similar to if not as intensely as the introduction of the telephone and the printing press. It changes the fabric of peoples' lives together.
350 million people signed up for Facebook under the belief their information could be shared just between trusted friends. Now the company says that's old news, that people are changing. I don't believe it.
I think Facebook is just saying that because that's what it wants to be true.
Whether less privacy is good or bad is another matter, the change of the contract with users based on feigned concern for users' desires is offensive and makes any further moves by Facebook suspect
