CARNIVAL 14'

Carnival has arrived; in fact, officially, it has already finished because it was this weekend. Luckily, there are places where they celebrate it a week later or, in some places, two weeks after the official carnival.

On Friday, we went to Roses:  like every year, Roses carnival is a massive event and there are a lot of people. We enjoyed a lot even thought there are also a lot of people who only are looking for trouble. Yesterday that it was Saturday, we went to Sant Pere. Of course, it is nothing compared with Roses talking about number of people. However, it is a more familiar atmosphere and you go there knowing who you will find. As I have said before, carnival doesn’t stop here; for be the best carnival are next week in Castelló which is mix of Roses and Sant Pere and it is the only date in the year that we can see a good party with a lot of people in Castelló.

This year, by disgrace, carnival has been put just on the exams week... but I am one of these people who think that we can do both things if we organize well.

Childhood nightmares may point to looming health issues

Researchers in the United Kingdom has warn that nightmares, which are normal in children, but in a regular way may be early warning about psychotic disorders and illnesses when these children are between three and seven years old.

I am a little bit confused; I don’t know if I should be worried or I would have to ignore these studies. I don’t know if people tend to have a lot of nightmares when they are children, but this news has caught my attention because, if I don’t remember it wrong, I used to have a lot of nightmares. In fact, my worst fear and worrying was the nightmares: sometimes I tried not to fall asleep only to avoid my nightmares.

I consider that my way to see things is special but I think I don’t have psychotic disorders by the moment and I hope they won’t arrive.

Concluding, I want to recommend to all the parents that have seen this news not to worry if their children have nightmares, because I have to say that my psychotic disorders are not as grave as it seems; even sometimes I seem a normal person.

Research paper abstract

The future of human nature

The objective of this bioethics project is to study and analyze the main conflicts that are associated with liberal eugenics, the improvement of the human species. It is a discussion between different points in favor and against the liberal eugenics from five different philosophers, two in favor and three against it. At the end of the project, I reflect on the best arguments and I have drawn where the limits should be in the future.

'Dozens die' in China knife attack at Kunming train station

An attack by knife-wielding men at a train station in Kunming in south-west China, which the reasons of it are unknown by the moment, has left 27 people dead, the state news agency Xinhua says. Moreover, over 100 people have been hurt.

By the moment, there is practically no more information about this news but I want to use it to talk about these strange and eccentric conflicts that appear sometimes. I deduce that this happening has been caused by a type of sect or something like that. In any case, I’m sure that people who have done it are mad people, like these students in United States that go to their college and start to kill people. Of course, all of these are disgraces but they are (or should be) a problem for the governments. What I mean is that, apart from a disgrace for the innocent people, these are conflicts that hide social issues; we can’t think that it is bad luck that exist this mad people, this people exist because something makes them mad and this is what the governments have to discover and try to eliminate it. 

WIELDING FURTHER STABBINGS

Red Bull hit new testing low as Vettel fails to complete a lap

The Red Bulls has failed one more time this preseason when Vettel’s car has not worked as it was expected. In this occasion, Vettel and his car have not finished the first lap because the Red Bull has stopped four times. When they wanted to get the car on the track another time, the car has broken down before leave the pit lane.

Red Bull’s hegemony seems to be finished after four years of ample victories. We can’t say that Vettel won’t win the championship because this would be reckless and a bit silly, knowing the results of the last years. However, I have the feeling that this season will be more exciting than ever because there are a lot of candidates to the victory, the Ferrari team have improved a lot and the Mercedes are the ones who are responding with the best results in trainings. Moreover, McLaren and Williams are doing good laps too.

The season starts in two weeks in Melbourne, the GP of Australia. By the moment, the situation of Vettel and their team is critical and it will be difficult for them to fix the situation but I have no doubts that they will do it and they will catch the level of the rest of the teams.

BREAKDOWN MEANWHILE MILEAGE

Can Internet change the world for the better?

Internet is taking the main role in the evolution of the 21st century. A new era has appeared where Internet has started to be accessible for all population. The question is: can it change our world for the better?

The main conflicts that Internet produces are two: the loss of privacy value and that some information quality is questionable. However, we can only consider valid the first point against it because it is seen that TV and radio information is sometimes censored and manipulated by governments or the economic powers. That's why we can consider Internet more objective, because we can view different points of view, always knowing which sites are reliable. Moreover, Internet allows us to get information that we want where and when we need it, a part from the knowledge that we have in every moment about what is happening around the world.

To conclude, Internet is changing radically the world for the better although the privacy is being secluded of what we consider important.
