Security in internet...

Two days ago, I had a discussion with my parents about the internet problems...

I started to paint pictures seven years ago, and I made my own studio in my house. If I have free time, I try to be painting, because I love paint and art! I also have my profile in internet of my pictures and I told them that I could try to sell pictures online. They started to argue that it wasn't secure, that internet chats can have pederastian users, and lots of things which weren't about the topic... Then I had an idea and I commented to my orchestra's mates if they knew anything about how to sell pictures. They told me that I could try to put my name down for the Picture fair of May. Every year the Casino Menestral from Figueres makes this fair and I thought that it could be a fantastic idea. I will have to get cracking and start to paint just starting the free time (Christmas holidays).

I started a new type of pictures. I'm having lots of ideas in the school when the teachers explain strange concepts like the Magnetism or the Matricial maths... then, my inspiration is scrubbing my mind and I have lots of ideas. I want to improve my technics and watch where is my own top. If I can transmit my ideas on the canvas, then I will be satisfied with my ownself, and then I will take encoraugement to fight for my Selectivitat's mark.

I'm in second of Batxillerat, and I'm doing lots of extractivities, but I won't give up!

PD:( do you like the link of my profile? :D)

Debating on learning and creativity!


I thought that I could tell my opinion about how the creativity is omitted in the teaching system of nowadays, and then debate it with my friends [if they comment on it ;)].
I think that all the society has a big problem to innovate and think for the own decisions, and it has a reason which I think that’s right. The reason is that in our childhood, we learn to study and to think bye the same way, and that’s because the teaching system follows the same way: swot up and do the same like the teacher. We didn’t learn how to study for ourselves, because they taught us how to do it. If we made the homework with another way which wasn’t the teacher’s explanation, it wasn’t right. We had an imposition of the knowledge.
We didn’t find our creativity, and for it, we are suffering a monotonous life and work. We don’t try out with new ways to work, we follow a routine, and that’s what can make a stressing life. I know that’s so hard to relate directly the stress with the teaching system, but it can be logic.
Then, if we know that we have to change the way to teach, why is still here this problem? And I have only one answer: We don’t give any motivations for the youth and for it, they don’t want to try it!!

Do you think so?

Politics, lies, corruption... All in the same way, and in Spain:


The ELECTIONS are here!
Come and listen all what they say! The politicians, the best speakers of tongue twisters and the best jokes that you never heard! The best ways to waste your taxes in the minimum time and in the worse way! 

Come in and enjoy the show!

The politics had suffered a big change in the last 3.000 years... In the origin of the meaning of the word, politics refereed to most important position in the social scale, and it had reference to the way to act better for the population. They had to fight against the injustice and make better laws which could help all the population, included them and the rest of them. All what could help the population to evolve and become richer was good for all. They had to be specially raised and educated with strict rules of conduct to be good governors and make the best laws.

Ok, now go to the 21st century. Where we can take a point to start the comparison? I think it’s really difficult... Ok, I will start with another way: explaining what’s good in the actual politics (which is easier and it’s really short). 
 
The government administers the taxes of the country, and with it we can pay all the salaries of the government employee. Then, if there are more resources, they can pay new public structures and then the typical events of the towns... But remember, there is a big crisis. And what’s happening? The town councils can’t pay the events nowadays. And I think it’s going to be worse... And when for a few years, they cannot pay the public structures and the population will be paying double taxes, what will happen?
Ok, we found the problem, but, where is the cause? I’m sure that you had been thinking about it lots of times. And I’m sure that you could find some answers, but I will explain mine. The politics in Spain have a big problem, and it’s the corruption in the power. When the political party becomes the governor, there are lots of people who aren’t directly supporters of the party and have a direct position which depends on the party, for example the image advisor of the president, the writers of the speeches, etc. When all of this people (selected by the forefingers of the president and the ministers) are on the power of the politic party, and there are new elections, all of them fight for win, no matter what. Another thing which makes worse the politics is that there is an only vote and then, the parties can join with other parties, and you don’t have any type of control in your vote.

We are in democracy! ENJOY IT! ;)

About the Oral Presentation...

First of all, I have to say that we could tell another better joke. It was really bad... :P
The type of tool which helped us to explain -the video- forced us to be quick and we had a problem which had been solved in the same time explaining less things which we had to explain. Also there was a lot of videos and we hadn't speak a lot... but I think it was OK to get the humour in the class which we wanted to explain with our words...
I think it was right the level of the words, because we didn't use lots of words that people didn't understand and it also wasn't an ordinary vocabulary. I think that most of words were pronounced right and the speed and the tone of the voice was a bit nervous but not bad. I think that I was really nervous and I had problems with the body language.
The structure of the work was right, it could be more strict, but I think that it hasn't lots of problems, because first of all we presented the Humour, then we mentioned the types and finally we focused on the one which we were really interested: the Parody films. We showed the evolution because we thought that it was interesting to see how it evolved through the years...
Finally I think that our marke had to be a 7 on a 10, we made some mistakes that could be improved...

The 3rd Route of Art in Castelló d’Empúries:


Last weekend had been the 3rd Route in the streets of Castelló d'Empúries, a calmly village from the province of Girona. It consists in a period of time (this year had been 4 days) when the old houses of the village open the doors to exhibit the pictures made by artists from the country. There had been invited some artists from Madrid, and it had been recognized in an international level. The organizer was the painter and teacher of painting Anna M Constanseu, and there were 72 artists around the village.


In my opinion it's a demonstration of the fight to survive by culture and art, which is day by day more repressed and hit by the big systems of communication. I think that we are in a process which the civilization is trying to be cult and the big Capitalism system is deculturizing with big strings of bad ways to think and understand the world. I have a big question for the people in favour of the Capitalism: How the people can be interested in my work if I thought all the time creating it in the money I could earn? How much is affected my creativity by the capitalism? We have a problem, and it's the money. I know I don't have the solution for this problem, but we have to accept that we could try new ways...
Going back to the topic, it had been a fact which culturized all the friends which I invited to the exposition and they had lots of reflections after seeing the entire route... They were happy to think about abstract ideas which they never thought about...

Walking through the flooded streets of Hungary...

Hungary declared a state of emergency in three counties for a toxic sludge flood from a alumina plant, and it could be possible that it would be deliberated. The government is investigating in the case and also had sent the army to disinfect the area.As Ronald Kandall says (a famous toxicologist), it’s immediately toxic, and it can burn your skin and your eyes taking about ten seconds. It also can kill plants, animals and things in the water. There died 4 persons, 6 were missed and also 120 were injured.


One thing which makes me think about how we are defenceless about the new technologies and how we are using them under no control. We would have to investigate more about the problems which can cause them, before the excessive consume of it.
I know it’s not the most important, because the real problem is met behind the controllers of the plant, the security system and the construction of this plant, but if then they say us that it could be a terrorist attack and they couldn’t stop it, then the people leave the idea of accuse the government.
I think it could be another terrorist attack, but I support the idea that the installations were in bad conditions and also the security patrol wasn’t enough. For this they said that it was a terrorist attack, because it was more than potential harm for the town and they weren’t able to accept the consequences.
It was a unexpected flood of toxic sludge and it doesn’t take long time to demonstrate a response, then we can see now the consequences and it’s a big catastrophe. To make an idea, we could be one night sleeping in our house and wake up involved with a liquid like lye, which can kill us in about 10 seconds if we are all involved of it. It’s incredible that the politicians didn’t act against it before it happened!
I think there’s a dirty game with lot of money which the governors and the powerful managers are playing with the moral principles about how to earn the maximum profit and minimal conditions for the town. When it get out of control, we can have a demonstration of that...
