News: Is cheap oil killing the planet?

The oil suffered a very high reduction of its price and such reduction has been applied since 1990.
This reduction has cause all kind of reactions in the world, like for example as it was expected the people buy more oil so they spend more. Now that the oil is cheaper a lot of people won't be interested in electric or more efficient cars and that could be a problem. In a few years the Earth will be completely out of oil and and that will happen sooner because of the cheap oil.

I have read that this reduction of oil could be and strategy of USA against Russia, because for Russia make oil is more expensive than USA so Russia could lose a lot of money.

News: Internet for everyone!

Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is making a new project witch is make that everybody of the world can be connected to internet. He says that only 1/3 of the people has access to internet and this has to change, there are a lot of countries that lack of internet  and this Zuckerberg's project will make the infrastructure of internet cheaper so everybody could has access to it freely.

 But, first of all they have to talk with all the companies of the world and make an agreement, which is difficult because many of them will lose a considerable mount of money.

 I think that project could be a very good idea,
but I am afraid that it could not be possible, because there are a lot of companies the would lose money and will not be agree to do it.

ERB

ERB means "Epic Rap Battles" and It is a Youtube Channel that I have recently known and this channel has become my favourite channel by far.

ERB is a channel that its main videos are about take two historical characters and face them with a rap battles. I don't considere myself a fan of the rap, but the quality of the song that this channels makes and how well theses charecters are created, makes me be a super fan of that channel.

The video that I enjoyed more is one that makes face Mozart vs Skrillex. Theses two charecters are bouth musican, Mozart is from S.XVIII and Skrillex is a contemporany musician who is very popular.

Another think that I enjoy about this channel is that always is the people of the coments of the video who choose what charecters will be the next ones.

Breaking Bad Review

Do you like the series that have an exciting story that makes you be in front of the TV during whole the episode? Then Breaking Bad is a perfect series for you.

The serie tells the story of Walter White  , a chemistry teacher from a school in New Mexico. Afer his 50 Walter knows that has a cancer and he will probably die for it. Walter has a good family but they have a lot of debts and he knows that the will not survive without him.  So he makes a brutal change in his life and decided with the help of an old student manufacture amphetamines and make them sale.
Walter White and the student called Jesse Pinkman in my opinion are the best couple that I have ever seen in movies or serie. During the plot they face a lot of problems and saved each other more than once. Both of them have a very different personality.

So in conlusion I hope you have already saw it, or and if haven't seen it yet, make yourself a favour and what it.

News: Mobile World Congress

Like every year ,since 2008, at the beginning of March the Mobile World Congress comes to Barcelona which is the biggest congress in the world about mobile industry. It is there where all the companies show up their newest technology and gadgets. Normally it comes 85.000 visitors, which many of them are entrepreneurs that search finance for their projects, or are people who work mobile companies.

This year there are few companies that are presenting a new gadget, which is a virtual really headset for the mobile, this product has become very popular since Oculus Rift are developing it

I really like that congress like Mobile World Congress comes to Barcelona, I think that is a huge opportunity to promote the city and make more tourist come.

Oral Presentation: TDR

Presentation 10%: I used a prezi to do the presentation. Actually I think we did a good prezi with a really clever structure.

Body language & eye contact 10%:  I did a good explanation of nuclear waste and I keep the eye contact with the students 

Structure 10%: How is said the structure was really good and clever 

Content 40%: The content of the prezi was very complete, I explained all about my TDR and what were the result of it.

Language 20% The language of the prezi was complete and tecnical.

Pronunciation & intonation 10% I did not bad pronunciation but I could do it better. 

Personal experience with research project

My experience with my TDR has not been as good I wanted.
First of all, I choose it because it was a suggested topic and when I saw it, I thought it could be an easy and funny project to do.
But, a few months after choosing my topic I realised that it would be difficult to collect all the information  that I needed to complete the project.
So, because all the lack of information that it was in the internet. I had to do many interviews to the farmers that lived in Alt Empordà. And that was a huge task to do, so the project would be no longer easy and funny.
I consider my self a person kinda lazy, so in summer when it is suposed that I should find all the information to do the project, I just did the oposite and I left it for the last moment.
In conclusion, I think that I could do a very good project but, I wasn't constant and because of that my project had a worse mark.

Discussion on science limits

The medicine has improved a lo in the past years.
This makes the medicine and the sience more ambitious. With one hand we have the probolems which could produce the sience experiment are terrible. Some people are scared of these experiments. Because they aren't etical, and maybe don't respect the humans conditions.

With the other hand we have the benefits of science. The science experiments make the daily human life easier. Actually we have technology objects, every day for example we can have a hot shower or we be warm in winter.

I think the experiments on human life shouldn't have limits, because the experiments on human life are good to improve our life.

United States: NBA

PRESENTATION (10%): The presentation of the Prezi I thing could be more elaborate, we did the Prezi very fast.

 BODY LANGUAGE & EYE CONTACT (10%): I tried to keep the body language and eye contact, but I was very nervous. I expect improve in this aspect.

INTONATION (10%):Personally I have to improve my English pronunciation and practice more

NEWS: Flappy Bird

Flappy Bird is a new game for mobile phones which has a lot of repercussion in a short time. The owner of the game won 50.000$ every day just with advertising.

 This game doesn't have any kind special thing, it is about trying to pass through the middle of the pipes. Flappy Bird looks like the famous game Mario, and maybe this is the answer of why, the owner of the Flappy Bird delete the game. When the owner delete the game, he said just wanted peace and he was tired of pressure.

Now anyone can't download the game in the mobile phones so a lot of crazy people are buying the phones with the game in the phones for very expensive price.

Viajando con Chester

"Viajando con Chester" is a new TV program which was premiered last week. Risto Mejide is the presenter of this program, he interview influence persons like Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and Jorge Lorenzo. The interviews are done on a Chester, Chester is a type of sofa and at the end of each program the Chester is auctioned, and all the money which they have recaptured is for a ONG.

One of the things I like is that Risto Mejide and respondents are completely honest with the questions. And this engage completely with the personality of Risto Mejide, who is known for his critical opinion and say always all his opinion.

Gap Year

 Do a gap year is a very good way of get experience, see the world with other eyes  and be a wide minded person. Actually do a gap year is more cheaper than used to be years ago. Thanks the websites and other organisations who help you to get organized your gap year.

If one day I do a gap year I would go to Argentina.  I have been searching information about Argentina and I think this country  simply amazing. There are a lot of sites to go and all of them are very beautiful.

On of them if one day I go to Argentina is "Perito Moreno". "Perito Moreno" is a glacier situated  in southwestern Argentina.  There are tourist boats which you can see the glacier more close and expeditions to climb and cross it.

The Eolf of Wall Street

One week ago I watched Wolf of Wall Street. I had seen a lot of advertising about this move, and personally I like Leonardo Dicaprio, I think he is a very good actor and normally his films are good.

The films is about an american  broker who create a company about defraud other people using his skills of broker. Leonardo wins a lot of money thanks his company but the police want catch him.

Personally Wolf of Wall Street is a great movie, but I find it too long, three and a half hours are too much, some moments in the film I thought havn't end. It is exactly like The Lord of Rings.

In conclusion I recommend it, but before watch this movie, be sure to watch it.
